Chapter Twenty-Four: Wizards of the Ages

"General Wu's mansion, please. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" took a step forward, Chen Zhen bent over and gestured with a smile.

"Well, Lord Chen doesn't have to be so polite, please." Glancing at Chen Zhen lightly, Wu Ming raised his legs and walked up the first step, and also stretched out his hand to Chen Zhen to say a polite word, and then the two walked into the tall red lacquered wooden door together.

Several boulders are piled up together in the courtyard to have the meaning of a rockery, but it looks smaller, and various flowers and plants are planted around the rocks. Of course, the most conspicuous thing is the chrysanthemums that bloom in autumn, yellow and white, charming to the eye.

A delicate deck chair in the grove on both sides is swaying slightly in the wind, and a few withered yellow fallen leaves fall on it, a leisurely and close to nature charm arises spontaneously.

"Well, General Wu, please."

Bypassing the pavilion crawling with vines, the slightest ray of sunlight shone obliquely on Wu Ming's face through the gaps in the vines, staggered and mottled in rows.

Under the guidance of Chen Zhen, the two soon came to the study, and as soon as they entered the door, the quaint atmosphere came to their faces. Beautifully chic cottage surrounded by two wooden bookshelves filled with bamboo slips of various colors. On the desk in the center, a simple bamboo pen holder is placed five brushes of different sizes, different thicknesses, and several bundles of bamboo slips are neatly stacked on the side. There was also an unlit oil lamp next to it.

It can be seen that Chen Zhen also reads a lot on weekdays, and he is a person with some real talents.

"Lord Chen is really a studious person, and the position of Shangqing seems to be a bit condescending." Looking around, Wu Ming blurted out without thinking.

Whether he really thinks that Chen Zhen is condescending, there is no way to know, but Chen Zhen, who is standing behind Wu Ming at this moment and can't see his face, believes it is true, and arches his hand slightly, as if he has something to say: "General Xie praises, Chen Zhen is not like a big husband like a general, a literati, what position is not important, the lower officials only want to be the king more in their lifetime, and make meritorious contributions to the Great Wei Jiangshan Society." ”

"Hehe, Lord Chen has worked hard, and the sun and the moon can be seen." Turning around, Wu Ming stared at Chen Zhen's wandering gaze, unable to tell whether it was sincere or casual: "If there is any more beauty in the future, this general will definitely fight for Lord Chen in front of the monarch to be loyal." ”

"Chen Zhen, thank you for the cultivation of the general." The words that had been prepared almost a long time ago blurted out, and at the same time, Chen Zhen made a standard bow for a moment.

The sunlight from the window reflected the figure on the white wall, and it was not easy to be such a style, such a person who would cater to it.

"It's not too late to discuss the future. The immediate priority is how to reconcile the people and restore the former soldiers. Staggering the topic, Wu Ming stretched out his hands to help Chen Zhen up, and said softly: "You and I are officials in the same dynasty, so you don't need to be so polite in the future." It's just that this study room has a strong taste of Chinese ink, the courtyard is full of sunshine, the fragrance of flowers is wanton, you and I go outside the house to discuss how to go. ”

"It's the lower official's poor hospitality, please wait a little longer, and the lower official will do it."

In autumn, it is still the sunny day outside the house that makes people feel the most comfortable. In the sky, several large birds flapped their wings and soared freely.

In a series of cries, Chen Zhen commanded several servants to move the table, and asked people to prepare tea and prepare a banquet.

"A little weak tea, please moisten your throat first." Holding a cup of tea in front of Wu Ming with both hands, Chen Zhen said softly.

The morning in the court is all lip service, Wu Ming at this moment is really thirsty, he was a rough man in his previous life, he didn't know how much to taste tea, but if he drank too much, he could naturally distinguish a trace of good and bad, the good of the Shangqing family was good, but in the end it was not as good as the cup he drank at the king yesterday.

"General Wu, in fact, in the next, in the next ......" When Wu Ming finished drinking a cup of tea and was tasting the lingering fragrance in his mouth, Chen Zhen suddenly opened his mouth, not knowing what he wanted to say.

"Chen Shangqing has something to say bluntly, I don't talk so much about the bright and dark, it's better to be direct." Pursing his lips, Wu Ming said flatly.

Lifting the kettle and pouring a cup of tea for Wu Ming again, Chen Zhen twisted his mouth and said: "If you say that, then you won't hide it from the general." ”

got up and walked straight to Wu Ming, Chen Zhen knelt on the ground without warning, and slammed his head on the bluestone floor of his own ground, "Chen Zhen is guilty, and I ask the general to agree to Chen Zhen's matter, otherwise, Chen Zhen would rather kneel and die here." ”

A sudden scene.

This moment caught Wu Ming a little off guard, but the officialdom is ruthless, and Wu Ming still understands the truth that it is difficult to be an official since ancient times.

Putting down the half-drunk tea, Wu Ming pretended to be surprised, and eagerly asked Chen Zhen to get up: "Lord Shangqing, why is this, please hurry up, didn't you say it just now, you don't have to be so polite." ”

As he spoke, his face was also anxious, but it wasn't until the whole sentence was finished that he reached out and pretended to help Chen Zhen.

Bowing down, Chen Zhen burst into tears at this moment, and couldn't hide the plea in his words: "If the general doesn't agree, Chen Zhen ...... Chen Zhen knelt down and died here. ”

"Shangqing's words are serious, if there is anything to talk about, if the same dynasty is able to help, General Ben will naturally help." When the words fell, Wu Ming pulled Chen Zhen up hard.

The two sat back in their positions, Chen Zhen hid his face and wiped the ugliness on his face, and arched his hand: "The general's heart, Chen Zhen is willing to tell the truth, where does Chen Zhen know anything about water conservancy, he just wants to take this opportunity to show himself, the officials have done it, who doesn't want to rise step by step!" But this opportunity is rare, no matter how capable the courtier is, it depends on the king's face after all, an old minister like Hui Xiangguo can't tolerate a little sloppiness in front of the king, how can a mere Chen Zhen do it! Today's general's words made Jun Shang overjoyed, Chen Zhen knew that this was an opportunity, so he ...... But this one is guilty of deception, this is a big crime and should be punished, Chen Zhen begged the general to be gracious, give Chen Zhen a chance, and then be a cow and a horse, Chen Zhen must obey the general in this life. ”

A heartfelt word came out of Chen Zhen's mouth at this moment, and it was even more vivid.

The common people know that the monarch cannot be bullied, but he, who is valuable as the prime minister, knowingly commits a crime. How could Wu Ming not know the doorway of this. It is no wonder that the feudal society can have such an adventurous thrill, and it is no wonder that Chen Zhen was able to leave his name in the history books.

It stands to reason that Wu Ming and Chen Zhen are even older, and he has no deep friendship with the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military forces, including King Wei Hui, so he can't feel sorry for this Chen Zhen.

But considering the current form, King Hui is old, and the future country will definitely be the prince's, but Wu Ming does not know how the prince is a person, and the status of Wei will definitely continue to improve in this era, but with the continuous improvement of the status of a great country in this era, will the new king in the future be like today's King Hui, although you are a king, but you are obedient to your own orders?
