Chapter 2 The family and the country come before the country
It was late at night, and when the guests dispersed, Chen Xun walked in through the back door of Chen's house. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"Besides, where did you go when you came back so late?" When Chen Xun pushed open the back door, what caught his eye was a tall, thin and handsome man.
"Brother, my brother doesn't like the second uncle and the others to leave home, so I take a nap in the wheat field not far from here." Chen Xun said lightly, quite a bit of a righteous taste.
The man frowned and said, "Come with me." The man turned and walked towards the brightest room of the Chen family.
This person is Chen Xun's brother Chen Deng. Chen Deng lost his father when he was a teenager and was bullied by the elders of the clan, but he did not lose confidence, he was well-read and famous in Xuzhou when he was a teenager, and took advantage of the contradictions in the clan to regain the position of the patriarch, and then supported the Chen family with the strength of one person, Chen Deng was very strict with Chen Xun, and Chen Xun was both respectful and afraid of him.
Chen Xun followed behind Chen Deng, looking a little cringe.
Chen Deng came to the door and pushed open the door, and a refreshing sandalwood came to his face. This is Chen Deng's study, with a collection of thousands of books.
"Sit." Chen Deng first found a place to sit down, and then motioned for Chen Xun to sit opposite him.
Chen Deng picked up the teacup, took a sip of the freshly brewed fragrant tea, and said lightly: "Do you know what the second uncle is doing here." ”
"It's not that I saw the eldest brother become the Taishou of Guangling, and came to flatter the eldest brother." Chen Xundao.
"He's your second uncle, and he's helped us a lot over the years." Chen Deng put down the teacup in his hand, and a trace of anger appeared on his face.
"If it weren't for the eldest brother's fame in Xuzhou, he thought that the eldest brother was a strange commodity to live in, and he couldn't convince the public, how would he give up the position of patriarch, and how would he give the eldest brother support." Chen Xun said with a little anger on his face.
Feeling a little thirsty, Chen Xun picked up the teacup that Chen Deng put down, swallowed the tea inside, and continued: "I know the benefits that the eldest brother gave him after becoming the head of the Chen family, nearly half of the Chen family's income has flowed into his pocket over the years, I know that the eldest brother, you also recommended his son to the general He Jin." But when we were down, we can see that he gave the slightest help! ”
Looking at Chen Xun in front of him, Chen Deng couldn't help but be stunned, he had never seen Chen Xun talk to him like this, although this younger brother was a little heroic in his heart, he was very respectful to him.
"Excuse me, be quiet." Chen Deng picked up the empty teacup and knocked it on the table. Years of jack-win have worked.
"Big brother, my brother is extreme." Chen Xun bowed forward, he knew that he had lost his temper.
"After all, he is our second uncle, and his position in the Chen family is deep-rooted, so we can't touch him." Chen Deng closed his eyelids and tapped lightly on the table.
Chen Xun's face showed joy, he was also a person with a clear mind, so he naturally heard the meaning of Chen Deng's words.
"Big brother, you mean that one day your second uncle will definitely lose his position in the Chen family."
Chen Deng sneered and said: "I, Chen Yuanlong, will repay my kindness and revenge, and now I have repaid him enough, I let him be extremely brilliant in the Chen family, and I can also make him break away from the core of the Chen family and become a partial branch." ”
"However, his branch can't be expelled from the core of the Chen family, and a capable person needs to be the leader of the remaining people." Chen Deng rubbed his temples as he said this.
"Big brother, what do you say about Chen Jiao." Chen Jiao is the son of the late third uncle of Chen Deng's brothers, and he has known them since childhood, and he was a staunch supporter of Chen Deng when he was competing for the patriarch, so when it came to how to deal with the remnants of the second uncle's forces in the future, Chen Xun immediately thought of him.
"Chen Jiao? It's a personal choice. Chen Deng said quietly.
"Second brother, when do you say that this world will change, and who can become the business of the five tyrants." Chen Deng opened his eyes, revealing a gleam.
was asked by Chen Deng, Chen Xun was stunned, he knew that the world was about to be in chaos, but he didn't know what year it was. But he knew that none other than Cao Cao, Sun Ce, and Liu Bei could rise in this troubled era, but these people Liu Bei is still unknown and doesn't know where to be in front of the county order, and Sun Ce is still a white body, Cao Cao's official position is one level lower than his eldest brother, and saying these people may make his eldest brother laugh off his big teeth.
"Well, I can't even predict this, let alone you." Chen Deng shook his head and sighed.
"Big brother thinks who can be the overlord in the world." Chen Xun asked.
Hearing Chen Xun's words, Chen Deng couldn't help but snort and said, "Second brother, I'm tired, you should go back and rest early." ”
"No." When Chen Xun heard this, he turned around and walked out the door.
"Wait." Chen Deng stopped Chen Xun and said solemnly: "Second brother, today's matter must not be revealed to the outside world. Otherwise, it will bring death to my Chen family. Also, you have to remember that the country is in the front, the country is in the back, and everything is in the interests of my Chen family. ”
"Okay, you can step down, tomorrow morning my mother will let you go over early to have breakfast with her." Chen Deng waved his hand.
Chen Xun, who went out, turned a monstrous wave in his heart, although he knew that this world would be chaotic, but only because he was a traverser, and Chen Deng, as a bystander, was able to see the form of the world so early, and his wisdom and strategy were probably no less than that of the Sleeping Dragon and Phoenix Chicks. If the Chen family wants to choose the master, who should they choose? Chen Xun is now confused, if the Three Kingdoms is still the history he knows, then he will choose Cao Cao without hesitation, but Chen Qi's death has made him confused, will history really develop as he thinks?
In Chen Deng's study, the lights were still bright, and several names were written on several blank sheets of paper. He picked up a blank piece of paper and said lightly: "Although Liu Yu is a clan relative, he has a cowardly personality and is not tough enough, so he is not suitable for the master. With that, he picked up the white paper, lit the candle, threw it into the charcoal basin, and picked up the second piece of paper instead.
"Dong Zhuohao is chivalrous and righteous, but he despises the people, although he has more than 100,000 soldiers, he will be defeated by others in the future, not for the lord."
"Liu Yan is in a safe corner, and he is too far away from my Chen family to be the master."
"Although Qiao Hat, Liu Biao, Liu Dai, and Han Belly are quite powerful, I am afraid that they may not be able to protect my Chen family in this troubled world."
"Yuan Shao IV and the third duke, with a profound background, is the head of the world and may be the master, but if my Chen family takes refuge, it may not be reused, and it may even decay in the family struggle, and it should be abandoned."
Chen Deng looked at a few blank pieces of paper and couldn't help but sigh: "The world is so big that there is no one who is assisted by me, Chen Yuanlong." When Chen Deng sighed, a figure flashed in his mind, this person was handsome, and his big ears were particularly eye-catching.
"This person is a relative of the Han family, ambitious, persevering, generous, and a disciple of Lu Zhi and Lu Zhonglang." Chen Deng's eyes brightened, but immediately dimmed. This person may be a master, but he has no soldiers or food, and he has no power to support him, which is not enough for me to trust the whole clan. ”
"Maybe there are heroes in this world that I don't know that are hidden in the world, and I will leave them for the future." Chen Deng burned the white paper in his hand, put on his clothes, and walked to his bedroom.
In Chen Xun's bedroom, Chen Xun kept repeating Chen Deng's words: "Home is in the country and the country is in the front, and a small seed takes root in his heart. This is also what Chen Deng wants to see.
