This passage through Qufu is just a small episode, and when the territory of Qufu is out, on this official road, there are already local officials waiting here.

Although everything was simple, and Chen Kaizhi tried his best not to disclose his identity along the way, so along the way, although there were also officials to greet the members of the observation group, the news of Chen Kaizhi's arrival in Qufu was inevitably spread.

The news suddenly exploded, Chen Kaizhi looked at it from a distance, and saw a person with many adjutants and errands, and he was overwhelmed.

When Pegasus approached, he saw the other party clearly, Chen Kai smiled, and the person standing there was Deng Jian, the prefect of Jeju, who was his senior brother.

Deng Jian looks more stable than before, especially under the chin, with an extra beard, a little less obscene, and his face is not as malnourished as before, more full, and a little older, and he doesn't look so young and vigorous.

Chen Kaizhi sighed in his heart, these years are really unforgiving, silently sighed, he stopped the horse, turned over and dismounted.

Those errand officers didn't know what was going on, they probably couldn't imagine that the person riding a horse in front of them was the current Dachen Tianzi, but Deng Jian recognized it, stepped forward quickly, and made a big salute.

"Deng Jian, the prefect of Jeju, has seen His Majesty."

The adjutants and servants behind were all shocked, and they looked at each other one by one, and then bowed down one after another.

Chen Kaizhi walked up to Deng Jian, pulled Deng Jian up, patted his hands, and said with a smile: "Senior brother, don't be polite, I heard that you have been an official in Jeju for a long time, and you have quite a lot of political achievements. ”

Deng Jian has been widely praised, not because Chen Kaizhi is polite, but in fact, since Chen Kaizhi ascended the throne, the voice of the court has been extremely high, all of a sudden, this Deng prefect is hot, the household department praised him for paying more grain in Jeju this year, and the Ministry of Rites said that the Jeju prefect repaired the temple, and everyone praised it.

This Deng Jian suddenly became a good official, and even, a model for the entire Dachen magistrate, all kinds of honors floated like snowflakes, but Chen Kaizhi knew very well in his heart that his senior brother was by no means a genius, nor was he a person with outstanding ability, to put it bluntly, he was just a good magistrate, and at this point, Jinyiwei and Mingjingji both had secret performances.

Deng Jian had already gotten up, listening to the praise, and his face was also a little complacent, people, being praised a lot, naturally, he felt good about himself. Although he didn't show it too obvious at the moment, the corners of his eyes and eyebrows were full of smiles, and he had betrayed, which showed that he was very proud in his heart now.

Chen Kaizhi naturally found out, couldn't help but smile faintly, and said: "But I know that these are all in the face of the hundreds of officials who see you as my senior brother, they praise you, praise you, say that you are the master of the Qingtian, and say that you are a capable minister of the world, but in fact, this is just a slap in the horse." ”

Deng Jian's face suddenly fell, he was more or less in awe of Chen Kaizhi's heaven, but now he couldn't help but say: "Actually, the minister ...... It's not so unbearable, and it's also ...... for ministers to repair rivers and educate in Jeju."

Chen Kaizhi smiled: "It can only be regarded as barely passing." It can be seen that the senior brother looked deflated, and Chen Kaizhi smiled again: "Your qualifications are among the jinshi, which can only be regarded as mediocre, but I also know that you are still close to everything in the local area, which can be called diligence to make up for clumsiness, okay, talk while walking." ”

Chen Kaizhi took a few quick steps: "So I've been thinking about it, how should I arrange it?" ”

Seeing that Deng Jian didn't follow, Chen Kaizhi couldn't help but look back at him and said with a smile.

"I'm going to make a special trip to find my senior brother, senior brother, this is the prefect of Jeju, let Jeju Tongzhi take over for the time being, there is a big matter for you to do."

Deng Jian stood stupidly for a while, Chen Kaizhi saw that he didn't seem to react, he couldn't help but shake his head, the steps under his feet stepped out, and some began to act, he didn't seem to want the people behind him to hear the conversation of his senior brother.

And Deng Jian was stunned for a while, and naturally reacted, how could he not understand the temperament of this junior brother, and he was busy trotting to catch up.

Chen Kaizhi looked at Deng Jian seriously, and said word by word: "Senior brother, I have a big deal to do with you!" ”

Deng Jian was shocked when he heard this, he seemed to have been waiting for today, and said excitedly: "Please instruct Your Majesty, the minister must go to the soup and fight the fire, and he will not give up." ”

Chen Kaizhi smiled and said: "It's really a soup, you are my senior brother, I naturally won't treat you badly, but if you don't make an inch, you will enter the court, it's really inappropriate, I'm not afraid of being gossiped about, I'm afraid of others, I look down on you." So, next, there may be a life-and-death errand, and I think about it, and I have to ask you to help. ”

Deng Jian was stunned for a moment, and muttered back to Chen Kaizhi's words: "Nine deaths and one life......"

Chen Kaizhi saw Deng Jian's demented look, and after a moment of silence, he said with a smile: "Fang Wucai, do you know? ”

Deng Jian couldn't help but be surprised, frowned deeply, and asked puzzledly: "Wasn't he made a marquis and was once the empress dowager's confidant?" ”

Chen Kaizhi shook his head, and said with a smile: "But then, he defected again, but in detail, in fact, he is not a defector, because he himself is my person, speaking of which, he is still your and my uncle." ”

Deng Jian's body was shocked, he looked at Chen Kaizhi in astonishment, and asked in confusion: "Who is he?" ”

Chen Kaizhi said with a smile: "Not many people know about this matter, and I tell you today because I and Uncle Shi have a plan." This Uncle Fang, although he finally beat the Empress Dowager, but now the world still thinks that he colluded with the Empress Dowager and was the confidant of the Empress Dowager, and finally cut off the Empress Dowager just to protect himself, but I plan to take this opportunity to remove his title. ”

Deng Jian couldn't help but look shocked: "He's a senior uncle, even if he's not a thing......"

"Listen to me." Chen Kaizhi smiled slightly, interrupted Deng Jian's words, swallowed a mouthful of spit, and then said to him carefully: "I have reformed his title for people to see, only in this way will people think that Uncle Fang has lost everything because he is involved in the Empress Dowager's henchmen." Senior brother, think about it, what will happen to Uncle Fang at this time? ”

Deng Jian groaned, and the next moment he said lightly: "Naturally, I was afraid in my heart, first I was dismissed from the title, and then, will Your Majesty continue to kill the killer, in the eyes of outsiders, Uncle Fang will definitely try his best to escape from other places, and the farther away from Luoyang the better." ”

Chen Kaizhi smiled and nodded heavily at Deng Jian: "Yes, a person who was implicated in the Empress Dowager, although I didn't kill the killer, just because I still need to appease people's hearts now, so everyone in the world will think that sooner or later, Uncle Fang will definitely die, and at this time, it will not be strange if he escapes." ”

"But why did Your Majesty do this?" Deng Jian still didn't understand.

He was already sluggish, and Chen Kaizhi didn't blame him, but squinted his eyes and patiently explained to him: "Because I and Uncle Fang have secretly decided to do a big thing, to find out the people behind the Empress Dowager and wipe them out, the way to use soldiers is to know yourself and know your enemy, but I don't know anything about these chaotic parties, and Uncle Fang, I heard that those chaotic parties have hidden huge treasures that have been accumulated for hundreds of years, so he is also very interested, only with his identity can he have the opportunity to blend in with these chaotic parties." ”

"Mixed ...... Mixed into the chaotic party......" Deng Jian was even more shocked, his eyes were as big as copper bells, and the corners of his mouth trembled slightly.

He thought it was too unbelievable, is this uncle crazy, he has a good life, but he has to die for a lifetime, how good it should be to lie down and eat chicken every day, a handful of old bones, what to toss?

Chen Kaizhi had a straight face, and paused at him word by word: "You need to look at me like this, it's not that I have to take an adventure with my uncle, it's really my uncle...... Take the initiative to ask for help, but once Uncle Shi wants to mix into the chaotic party, it means that it is very likely to go to sea, in this vast sea, thousands of miles away, dangerous and unpredictable, if Uncle Shi's side, there is no one who can be trusted, I am really difficult to sleep and eat, but think about it, who can really trust it, I finally thought of you, Uncle Shi is my Uncle Shi, and also your Uncle Shi, you accompany him, saddle the horse and take care of his daily life, if it can be done, you and Uncle Shi, are a great achievement, naturally, I will never force you to go, It's up to you. ”

Deng Jian was also suspicious, but he couldn't help but say: "However, these thieves are overseas, how can Uncle Shi contact them?" ”

Chen Kaizhi stared at Deng Jian, and smiled faintly: "I naturally have my way." ”

Deng Jian glanced at Chen Kai and asked with a shocked expression: "Is it really a great achievement if you can succeed here?" ”

Chen Kaizhi nodded heavily, and said with a straight face: "These chaotic parties are a big trouble in my heart, no, they are not only my big trouble, but also for the people of the world, I have to purge them, in order to have peace of mind, and there are great benefits for the country and the people, so if the senior brother can really make a contribution to my uncle, it will not only be a great achievement." ”

Chen Kaizhi stared at Deng Jian deeply, as if waiting for his answer.

Deng Jian hesitated again and again, and finally sighed, and then said seriously: "Your Majesty has said this, what else can I say as a senior brother, in this case, the minister and the senior uncle will go away." ”

He muttered in his heart, as if he felt that there was too much news today, so that it was difficult to digest, for him, these were earth-shattering things, although it was difficult to digest, but he was still happy in his heart, after all, this Chen Kaizhi trusted himself.
