Chapter 54: Formal Apprenticeship
Hearing that the old man in front of him reported to his home, Chen Xun was not a little happy in his heart, because he knew that Lu Zhi was a die-hard fan of the Han Dynasty and had done his best for the Han Dynasty all his life, and this time he might have other purposes for accepting him as an apprentice.

Looking at Chen Xun's face, Lu Zhi smiled slightly: "I know your concerns, after all, you are Dong Zhuo's son-in-law, but I have no other intention here, just a simple personal appreciation, and I want to take you as an apprentice." ā
Chen Xun hesitated a little and said: "There is no free lunch in the world. ā
Lu Zhi nodded and said, "This analogy is very appropriate, I do have some conditions for accepting you as an apprentice." ā
As soon as Chen Xun heard it, he knew that the main topic was coming, but if Lu Zhi asked Chen Xun to be loyal to the Han family, Chen Xun would never obey it, after all, the Han family now has an empty name, but has not seen the fact.
However, the benefits of worshipping Lu Zhi as a teacher are greater than the benefits of worshipping Cai Yong, who is one of the three great Confucians in the world and is as famous as Cai Yong. And Lu Zhi also has a benefit that Cai Yong does not have, that is, Lu Zhi was awarded the title of Zhonglang General and participated in the battle to break the Yellow Turban.
Looking at Chen Xun's expression, Lu Zhi knew what he was thinking: "My condition is for my disciple to be a Huo Hussar and come to Helan Mountain to drink."
Chen Xun was slightly stunned, this request seemed too simple, not only him, but even Dong Zhuo hated those alien races very much, and sent troops to recruit from time to time. From the meaning of Lu Zhi's words, it is to take a tough attitude towards foreign races, and if they don't accept it, they will fight until they obey. These are things that even Lu Zhi would do if he didn't say anything.
"Would you like to apprentice?" Lu Zhi looked at Chen Xun and asked with a grin.
"Will Lu Zhonglang not force Fu Zhi to do something I don't want to do." Chen Xun looked at Lu Zhi as if he wanted to see something on the old man's face.
"Supplement, your vigilance is too strong, do you know that I have a disciple named Gongsun Zhan, and he is not loyal to the Han family."
"But the white horse general Gongsun Bogui." Chen Xun was shocked when he heard this, if it is said that Dong Zhuo's most feared prince is now, then it must be Gongsun Zhan, the white horse general, Gongsun Zhan has a tough attitude against the northern nomads, fighting bravely, and his subordinates are from the mighty frontier. According to rumors, Gongsun Chan is now preparing to use troops in Qingzhou, and his ambitions are not small.
"Bergui is from a noble family. But because of his mother's humble status, he only became a county official at the beginning, so he didn't have a good impression of those sons and brothers from families, and he didn't even have much loyalty to the Han family, but this person has a heart to protect the territory and the people, and he is not soft on foreign races, which is why I accepted him as an apprentice. ā
Chen Xun groaned in his heart, and immediately bowed down and said, "Disciple Chen Xun see the teacher." ā
Lu Zhi showed a smile on his face, and hurriedly helped Chen Xun up and said a few good words in a row.
When Lu Zhi accepted Chen Xun as an apprentice the day after all, the news spread and reached Dong Zhuo's ears.
If you want to say that Dong Zhuo admires the most in his life, it must be Lu Zhi, so even if Lu Zhi scolded him angrily in the court and made him unable to get off the stage, he only gave a dismissal and did not do anything further.
When he knew that his son-in-law actually worshipped Lu Zhi, a great Confucian, as a teacher, Dong Zhuo was greatly relieved and personally went to Cai Yong's mansion to visit Lu Zhi with gifts, but he ate a closed door, but Dong Zhuo didn't care much about it.
Today is the day of Chen Xun's formal apprenticeship, but the scene is very deserted. It turned out that Cai Yong wanted to make a big deal about it and invited a large number of talented people to watch the ceremony, but Lu Zhi refused, for no other reason, Lu Zhi likes to be quiet.
Chen Xun felt quite helpless about this, although Chen Xun didn't like those lively scenes, but Lu Zhi's apprenticeship would definitely attract countless talented people, such as Xun Wenruo of Yingchuan, Chen Changwen would definitely be among the invitees, if Chen Xun got to know them first, then maybe he could dig Lao Cao's corner in advance.
Chen Xunfu Qingjin, that is, student uniform, went to the door of Cai's mansion and knelt. Jia Ding stood on the east steps of Cai's Mansion and went to see Lu Zhi for formal apprenticeship.
It is a long-standing tradition for the Chinese to respect the teacher, so the Zhou Dynasty had the ceremony of releasing the honorable teacher, and it turned out that Chen Xun planned to kneel three times and bow nine times to visit the teacher, but was stopped by Lu Zhi.
Lu Zhi sent his family to Chen Xun and said: "Those who cultivate the above on their own, I have not tasted no teachings. In this way, Chen Xun simplified the complex, and after the first bow, he directly entered the gate of Cai's Mansion and officially apprenticed.
For this apprenticeship ceremony, Dong Zhuo originally wanted to come to watch the ceremony, but he thought of Lu Zhi's face on the cold bench, and finally gave up.
In the palace of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, Wang Yun often came and went as Emperor Xian's teacher, and today, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty's face was not good.
"Wang Situ, have you heard? Lu Zhonglang actually accepted Chen Xun as a disciple, Lu Zhonglang is my Han's minister, why would he stoop down to accept Dong Zhuo's son-in-law Chen Xun as an apprentice. ā
When Wang Yun heard this, his brows furrowed slightly: "Lu Zhonglang is loyal to my Han, and this move may have deep meaning. ā
"I want to hear about it." Emperor Xian couldn't help but look a lot better on his face when he heard Wang Yun say this.
"Chen Xun's father, Chen Qi, is the grandson of Guanghan Taishou Chen Qi, the nephew of Taiwei Chen Qiu, and the brother of Wu County Taishou Chen Yu and Ruyin Taishou Chen Cong. The minister heard that Chen Xun had repeatedly performed miraculous feats in the Tiger Prison Pass and Bishui Pass, but was dismissed from the military power by Dong Zhuo, and he expected that there must be resentment in his heart, perhaps Lu Zhonglang was leaving a tiger and wolf general for His Majesty who could protect His Majesty. ā
When Emperor Han Xian heard this, his eyes couldn't help but get brighter and brighter, he had already heard of Chen Xun's name, if he could be taken under his account, then why was he afraid of Dong Zhuo.
Emperor Han Xian frowned, and seemed to think of something: "However, Chen Xun is Dong Zhuo's son-in-law after all, can he be used by me." ā
"This is also what the minister is worried about, after all, he is Dong Zhuo's son-in-law, so the minister wants to try him at home."
"How to try the law." Emperor Han Xian asked.
Wang Yun approached and said something in the ear of Emperor Han Xian, and Emperor Han Xian nodded again and again.
The place where Chen sought to study was not in Cai's Mansion in Luoyang City, but in a small thatched hut outside Luoyang City where he met Lu Zhi. For Lu Zhi, Chen Xun felt that he was a gentle elder, but he was a little extreme towards foreign races. Lu Zhicai is eight buckets high, and there is heaven and earth in his chest, and Chen Xun only feels that he has benefited a lot from learning from him.
One day, Chen Xun asked Lu Zhi what kind of talents in the world could serve Dong Zhuo.
Lu Zhi didn't want to say this, but looking at Chen Xun's sincere face, he couldn't help but soften in his heart: "I know that one of the two is a general, and the other can be the mastermind, but these two have their own shortcomings, do you want to hear it." ā
In this regard, Chen Xun of course nodded again and again, because he felt that although there were many generals in the Xiliang army, there was a lack of real talents.
