For Zhong Xuan, a person who already believes in Liu Xin very much, or believes in fortune telling, Zhong Xuan has already begun to believe Liu Xin's words when Liu Xin briefly retold what happened back then, after all, what Liu Xin said, but Zhong Xuan has never told anyone for so many years, Zhong Xuan can be sure that this matter is impossible for others to know except for himself and his uncle.

And Liu Xin's origin, almost everyone in the Han Dynasty today knows it, and no one knows it, after all, Liu Xin is the hottest figure in the Han Dynasty today, and everyone knows that Liu Xin is the "immortal master" who returned from the Western Regions, and the new prince of the Han Dynasty.

Therefore, Zhong Miao felt that Liu Xin could tell the story that he had hidden for many years in one sentence, which was also a very simple thing, after all, Liu Xin was a disciple of Zhou Gong, and Zhou Gong's I Ching algorithm was the most famous divination book in the entire Chinese civilization, so Liu Xin was able to calculate the things he encountered back then, Zhong Xin felt that this was very normal.

Therefore, when Zhong Xuan learned that Liu Xin now gave himself a hint - if he chooses to join Liu Xin and work for Liu Xin, then he may be ranked among the three princes of the Han Dynasty in the future, and he can also be made a marquis, Zhong Xuan did not hesitate to believe it, the reason is actually very simple, that is, Zhong Xuan and Cai Yong and Lu Zhi think about the same, with their own identity and status, it is impossible for a big man like Liu Xin to calculate himself inexplicably, or to ridicule himself, If you have nothing to do, come and have fun with yourself.

And Zhong Miao knows that he is indeed much smarter than ordinary people, but Zhong Miao also knows that the entire Han Dynasty is full of talents, and there are too many people who are stronger than him, such as Lu Zhi and Cai Yong around him, Zhong Miao knows how good Lu Zhi's ability is, and he is not at the same level as himself at all, so Zhong Miao can also get such a message from the conversation between Liu Xin and Lu Zhi just now - Liu Xin has not recruited Lu Zhi and Cai Yong.

And now although Liu Xin didn't say it directly, Zhong Miao also knew that Liu Xin was already hinting at himself, hoping that he could take the initiative to take refuge in him, after all, Liu Xin is now also a prince with status and status, and it is impossible to personally come out to recruit talents in a bright and bright way, once or twice in the past, Liu Xin may be said to be a corporal of Lixian, but if there are too many times to do this, Zhong Xin will feel that Liu Xin's "grade" is not high enough, and he has not put himself in the right position.

So to put it simply, Zhong Miao understood Liu Xin's idea of doing this, and Zhong Miao also believed that Liu Xin was not teasing himself, so Zhong Miao also began to think about a question logically, that is, should he go to Liu Xin and work for Liu Xin?

First of all, the "conditions" that Liu Xin has given himself are extremely tempting, after all, it doesn't matter what the marquis is, after all, the matter of the marquis still happens in today's Han Dynasty, and the conditions for the marquis are also very simple, after all, the lowest title is just a fictitious title, simply put, in many cases, when the emperor rewards some officials, he gives out the title by the way, and such a title is just for the sake of good looks, first, there is no fief, and second, there is no real power, After all, like the new leader of the foreign relatives - He Jin, just relying on his sister to win favor in front of Emperor Han Ling, he also got such a title while becoming a general, so Zhong Xuan felt that as long as he worked hard in the future, he should still be able to encounter things like a marquis.

However, the position of the three dukes of the Han Dynasty is different, after all, as mentioned above, the position of the three dukes of the Han dynasty is not so easy to do, especially for a person like Zhong Xuan, who is not from a good background, it is undoubtedly a fool's dream to become the third duke of the Han Dynasty, and Zhong Xuan never thought that he could become one of the three dukes of the Han Dynasty, because Zhong Xuan also has self-knowledge... Or that Zhong Xuan recognized the reality, and now the competition for the position of the three princes of the Han Dynasty can be described as "immortal fighting", all of which are the patriarchs of the top families of the Han Dynasty, and like the Yuan family and the Hongnong Yang family, the two super families of the Han family, but they directly control the position of the three princes of the Han Dynasty, basically if there is no accident, the position of the three princes of the Han Dynasty will definitely be occupied by the head of the Yuan family and the head of the Hongnong Yang family, after all, the Yuan family and the Hongnong Yang family are too strong in the current Han family, No one, or rather, no family, can shake the status of these two Han super families.

So this is left for the position of the last Han Three Princes, so the remaining top Han families can only be like a carp jumping over the dragon gate, everyone wants to compete for the position of the last Han Three Princes, so you can imagine how terrible the competition in this aspect is, Zhong Xuan knows that if he wants to enter the competition for the position of the last Han Three Princes, then even if his ability is excellent, he will inevitably encounter such a problem, that is, his family is facing a catastrophe!

For those families of the Han Dynasty, there is no such thing as fair competition, after all, the position of the Three Princes of the Han Dynasty is not only a symbol of personal and family honor, but also can bring countless benefits to themselves and their own families, so no one will give up becoming the Three Princes of the Han Dynasty, so to put it simply, a family like Zhong Xuan's who is not of enough grade has just entered the competition for the position of the Three Princes of the Han Dynasty, and the patriarchs of those top families will be directly "loved", and the patriarchs of these top families, will not directly deal with Zhong Xuan, but directly "cut the grass and eradicate the roots", very simple to rely on the strength of the family to crush Zhong Xuan's family, so let Zhong Xuan leave the scene directly, giving up the competition for the position of the three princes of the Han Dynasty.

After all, Zhong Xuan has heard such a story, there was a patriarch of a local family who is similar to Wang Yun in all aspects, and he is also the patriarch of one of the best local families in Liangzhou, so he wants to compete for the position of the three princes of the Han Dynasty that year, and if the selection of the three princes of the Han Dynasty is carried out in a bright and bright manner, then the patriarch of the family of this place is likely to be able to become the third prince of the Han Dynasty back then, but the result is not like this. Because the patriarchs of those top families know that they will not be the opponents of this patriarch, so the patriarchs of these top families began to cooperate very "tacitly", and jointly attacked the family born in Liangzhou at the family level, resulting in the family directly becoming a third-rate family of the Han Dynasty, and the patriarch who was originally complacent and thought that he had a chance to become the third prince of the Han Dynasty was stunned at that time, and then had to choose "resignation due to illness", Returned to the family and lived in seclusion...

Therefore, Zhong Miao understands that if the patriarch on the side is himself, then the Zhong family where he is will become cannon fodder, and if he pulls out a competitor at random, he can directly make his family go to ruin, or even directly to perish, and when others look at their own family, they will only say "don't measure yourself, kill yourself".

Therefore, Zhong Miao has long given up the idea that he can become the third prince of the Han Dynasty, after all, this is too unrealistic, and Zhong Miao is not the kind of person who likes to daydream.

However, doesn't Zhong Miao want to become the third prince of the Han Dynasty?

Of course not.

If he can ascend to the position of the three princes of the Han Dynasty, even if it is only one year, even if it is a reduction of ten years, Zhong Xuan will not hesitate to choose to agree, the reason is very simple, in fact, it is also that sentence, to be able to be the third prince of the Han Dynasty, not only a symbol of personal and family honor, but also to bring countless benefits to his family, take Zhong Xuan's family, now it is just a local strong family in Yingchuan, in terms of the entire Han family, That is, an out-and-out third-rate level family, but if Zhong Xiang can become the third prince of the Han Dynasty, and then it only takes about a year, Zhong Xuan's family can be directly promoted to the first-class family of the Han Dynasty, that is, a famous family in a state, if Zhong Xiang can stay in the position of the third prince of the Han Dynasty for more time, then Zhong Xuan's family can be among the Luoyang family forces and become the top family of the Han Dynasty!

To put it simply, the longer you stay in the position of the third prince of the Han Dynasty, the more benefits you can get, for Zhong Xuan's family, this is an unimaginable wealth, and it is also an opportunity to soar!

And now, for Zhong Xuan, this opportunity has been placed in front of him - Liu Xin's hint to himself, or it can be directly said to be a guarantee, which makes Zhong Xuan irresistible, after all, Zhong Xuan also knows such a truth, that is, "after this village, there will be no such shop", if he refuses Liu Xin's kindness today, I am afraid that he will "go astray" as Liu Xin said, so Zhong Xiang now wants to take refuge in Liu Xin immediately.

However, on the other hand, Zhong Xuan has just come to Shangshutai to take up his post, and Liu Xin is about to rush to Yizhou to take up the post of Yizhou Assassin, so this shows that if he plays with Liu Xin and works for Liu Xin, then now he has to pack his luggage and prepare to follow Liu Xin to Yizhou as an official, and it can be regarded as a "demotion" in disguise.

And the most important thing is that if Liu Xin didn't put forward so many conditions, he directly asked if he could take refuge in Liu Xin, then Zhong Miao might agree directly, and in a situation like now, Zhong Miao felt that if he agreed to Liu Xin, there would be a kind of going towards the conditions that Liu Xin gave him, and Zhong Miao had a little bad feeling, so Zhong Miao began to worry about what to do for a while...

Liu Xin is now looking at Zhong Xuan in meditation leisurely, and he didn't urge Zhong Xuan to make any choice, after all, Liu Xin's recruitment of Zhong Xuan this time can only be regarded as a temporary idea, and he casually made up a reason that is not a reason, and then came to fool Zhong Xuan, so Liu Xin didn't think that Zhong Xuan would agree to himself so casually, after all, Liu Xin knew that this was not a certain novel, as the protagonist, he could "shake the tiger's body", and Zhong Xuan would "bow his head and bow", which is too unrealistic. Therefore, Liu Xin was ready to be rejected by Zhong Xuan, because Liu Xin felt that he felt a little "fake and empty" in terms of the hints he made, but this can be regarded as Liu Xin's miscalculation of the "bewitchment" effect of his words on Zhong Xuan, or for the entire Han aborigines.

And Lu Zhi and Cai Yong, who were beside Zhong Xuan, both pondered for a while, and both understood that Liu Xin was recruiting Zhong Xuan, so Lu Zhi and Cai Yong were both fortunate for Zhong Xuan to be able to meet a noble person like Liu Xin.

There is no doubt that Lu Zhi and Cai Yong also believed what Liu Xin said, thinking that as Liu Xin said, if Zhong Xuan can serve under Liu Xin, he will definitely have a chance to become the third prince of the Han Dynasty with Liu Xin's support in the future!

And to tell the truth, Lu Zhi and Cai Yong both have some envy of Zhong Xuan, after all, who doesn't want to become the third prince of the Han Dynasty, even if Lu Zhi and Cai Yong are not obsessed with Vanity Fair, they have no resistance to the position of the third prince of the Han Dynasty, and Cai Yong and Lu Zhi both complained silently in their hearts, if they were invited by Liu Xin, I am afraid they would not hesitate to hairstyle Liu Xin, take refuge in Liu Xin, and work for Liu Xin.

However, Lu Zhi and Cai Yong will not be jealous of Zhong Xuan because of this, after all, Cai Yong and Lu Zhi both know that they are a little older now, and their abilities in all aspects have basically been stereotyped, and their abilities in some aspects have begun to deteriorate, for example, Lu Zhi feels that during this time, his thinking speed has decreased a lot.

Therefore, Cai Yong and Lu Zhi glanced at each other, as a pair of good friends who have known each other for more than ten years, Cai Yong and Lu Zhi already know each other's thoughts, that is, to help Zhong Xuan make a correct decision - that is, to accept Liu Xin's solicitation!

So, Cai Yong looked at Liu Xin with a smile, and said with a smile: "Lord Wang, I feel that Brother Yuan Chang is really very close to you, because I just met Brother Yuan Chang when I was ready to leave here and went back to my own house, and then I met Brother Yuan Chang, and then I chatted with Brother Yuan Chang here for a while, and then I saw that you came out, and then you and Brother Yuan Chang know each other, so I think that you and Brother Yuan Chang are really fateful!" ”

Because Cai Yong has been exiled outside Luoyang in the past few years, he can be regarded as having seen a lot of customs and customs, and has met all kinds of characters, so Cai Yong's communication skills can be said to be one of the best in the power of the Han scribes today, and he does not have as many shelves as ordinary scribes, so Cai Yong will also say half-jokingly like this.

As for Lu Zhi, he is a typical Han scribe, and Lu Zhi at this time is also concise and in line with Cai Yong, "Bo Zhi is right, Yuan Chang and the prince are indeed very fateful, otherwise they would not meet today." ”

Cai Yong and Lu Zhi's words didn't feel anything for Liu Xin, but for Zhong Xuan, who is now in a state of entanglement, it was like an empowerment, which made Zhong Xuan make a decision - that is, to take refuge under Liu Xin and work for Liu Xin!

First of all, Zhong Miao was already tempted, and now that he was so "pushed" by Lu Zhi and Cai Yong, Zhong Miao also felt that he was really very close to Liu Xin, so he really had the opportunity to become the third prince of the Han Dynasty with the help of Liu Xin in the future, so Zhong Miao felt that it was not difficult for him to take refuge in Liu Xin.

And Zhong Xuan also knows the current situation in Shangshutai, because when he first became Shangshu, Zhong Miao was also complacent, after all, Shangshutai is a real department of real power, and he can also get in touch with His Majesty today.

However, when Zhong Xuan really entered Shangshutai, he found out what the situation of Shangshutai is now, and then he knew that Shangshutai had already been given the right by the eunuch forces, so the existence of Shangshutai was already in name only, and his newcomer Shangshu could only eat and wait for death in Shangshutai all day long, after all, Zhong Xuan could not find anything else to do except read books in Shangshutai.

Therefore, Zhong Miao is actually looking for a chance to leave Shangshutai, after all, Zhong Miao feels that if he stays in Shangshutai like this, he is afraid that he will become a wasted person, and his life of doing nothing all day long makes Zhong Miao feel that he is already a useless hero.

But Zhong Miao can only think about it, after all, this Shangshutai is not a place where he can come and leave if he wants, because Zhong Xuan's family is not as capable as the Yuan family, and he can transfer his position at the same level at will, unless Zhong Xuan decides to "resign due to illness", there is no chance to leave Shangshutai in a short period of time, but if Zhong Xuan chooses to "resign due to illness", then the result of Zhong Xuan's hard work in the Han officialdom for so many years can be regarded as a burn, after all, it is still the same sentence, In terms of the strength of Zhong Xuan's family, there is no way to guarantee that Zhong Xuan can have the opportunity to return to the same level of official position after "resigning due to illness", and it can even be said that if Zhong Xuan wants to re-become an official after "resigning due to illness", then at most he can only go to an official position such as a county order, and then climb up little by little, and the difference between Shangshu and the county order is self-evident, the gap between these two positions cannot be bigger.

Therefore, this is also the question that Zhong Xiang has been hesitating, whether he wants to leave Shangshutai, or whether he can leave Shangshutai, after all, although he is smooth sailing and rising in the officialdom of the Han Dynasty, but Zhong Xuan has spent more than ten years to get to the position of Shangshu today, Zhong Miao feels that if he gives up the position of Shangshu now, then his efforts in the past ten years will be in vain, so Zhong Xuan is very entangled in this matter, and he has not slept well in recent days. Sometimes I can't sleep at night...

But now it's okay, although Zhong Miao knows that if he chooses to take refuge in Liu Xin and work for Liu Xin, he will definitely only be able to serve as a county magistrate in Yizhou in a short period of time or Liu Xin, the official of Yizhou's assassin history, and there is a huge gap between him and today's Shangshu, but Zhong Miao thinks that Liu Xin's potential is incomparably huge, and he will definitely be able to be the same as Liu Xin's "ancestor" - Liu An, the king of Huainan, "one person will attain the Tao, and the chicken and dog will ascend to heaven", and then he may really be able to become the third prince of the Han Dynasty?
