Chapter 16: Forced to Join the Gang (I)
"Chen Fei, the imperial examination is the upper class and the first, and the Ministry of Officials awarded the position of the left prison guard Kai Cao to join the army, am I right?" Eldest Sun Wuji asked.
Chen Fei could only answer: "That's right, there is something to say, there is a fart!" β
The eldest grandson Wuji smiled and said: "Don't be angry, you should also know that you are just from a humble family, and if there is no special reason, it is impossible to make progress in officialdom, right?" β
Of course, Chen Fei knew that the promotion of officials in ancient times was a method - to fight for his father! In ancient times, the main thing about being an official was not ability, but fighting for one's father. And this is from the Han Dynasty period of the nine-product Zhongzheng system, that is, to provide those scholars with the advantage of being an official of the times. And ordinary poor families, I am afraid that except for a few lucky people, there are not many people who can be officials. In the early years of the Tang Dynasty, the strength of the scholars was still very strong, and it was even more difficult for the Hanmen to come out. The imperial examination system also gave the Hanmen the opportunity to surpass the scholars, but this process was long-term, according to the original history, at the end of the Tang Dynasty, the Hanmen really defeated the scholars and became the mainstream of officialdom. However, the matter of fighting for his father cannot be eradicated at all, and even in the future generations, there are great remnants. And if Chen Fei's conditions are now, that is, he is a poor family, so it is unlikely that he will be able to become a high-ranking official.
"It doesn't matter, I just want to enter the officialdom and eat with a mouthful!" Chen Fei said.
"......" the eldest grandson Wuji was speechless.
The eldest grandson Wuji has never seen such an unmotivated guy, who is actually willing to be plain when he becomes an official, just eating with a mouthful of food.
The eldest grandson Wuji can only say: "Don't you want to become famous and worship the prime minister?" As long as you do things well, then you may be able to pay homage to the prime minister. Now, we have a chance, as long as you help us do this, then your future is limitless! β
Chen Fei asked helplessly, "What do you want to do?" β
"You are now a member of the left prison guard, so you should have a certain understanding of the affairs of the left prison guard, right? So, I hope you can help us listen and watch more in the left guard. Moreover, you are now the righteous brother of Chang He, the guard general of the Xuanwu Gate, so maybe you can tell Chang He that he used to be a subordinate of King Qin, and King Qin misses him very much! The eldest grandson Wuji said.
Chen Fei suddenly felt a chill in his head, and he immediately remembered something. It is now February of the ninth year of Wude of the Tang Dynasty, and the last coup d'Γ©tat in history, that is, the Xuanwumen Rebellion, occurred in June of the ninth year of Wude. In other words, it is only four months since the change of Xuanwumen.
In fact, Chen Fei had already made a plan, to live a good life in this time and space, and not to fight with any high-level officials. In other words, Chen Fei also knew about the change in Xuanwu Gate, but he didn't want to participate. Because after participating, there is not necessarily any benefit, and it is risky. What's more, Chen Fei has no channels, no channels to hook up with Li Shimin, so he can't get on Li Shimin's tailwind boat. Therefore, Chen Fei has little ambition, he just wants to live his life with peace of mind.
But now, I have to say that the disaster came from the sky, and the eldest grandson Wuji actually found himself. Chen Fei only needs to contact the information he found in his mobile phone not long ago, and immediately understands the thoughts of this eldest grandson Wuji. It has been some days since Li Shimin was preparing for this mutiny, or rather, Li Shimin's subordinates were preparing for this mutiny. Maybe now Li Shimin's subordinates have begun to prepare for the mutiny, and now they need some people to help Li Shimin. And as a palace mutiny, you must first get the support of the palace forbidden army.
According to history, Li Shimin killed the crown prince Li Jiancheng and the king of Qi Li Yuanji in Xuanwu Gate, which means that the guards of Xuanwu Gate helped them. However, according to the information about the Xuanwumen mutiny that Chen Fei found in his mobile phone, it turned out that Li Shimin was able to complete the mutiny in Xuanwumen by wooing the Xuanwumen guard Chang He, who is now Chen Fei's brother-in-law. But looking at the situation now, Li Shimin did not really pull Chang He over, and now Chang He is still a close confidant of the crown prince Li Jiancheng.
If Li Shimin wants to mutiny, the first thing he does is to get the support of Chang He, the guard of Xuanwu Gate, but how Li Shimin won over Chang He in the original history, this Chen Fei doesn't know. But now, in order to win over Chang He, Li Shimin actually chose to open a breakthrough from Chen Fei. As for the reason, that is, Chen Fei is Chang He's brother-in-law, so starting from the relationship between the brother-in-law and the brother-in-law, it may be able to work wonders.
"Your grandfather's, I just wanted to avoid the change in Xuanwu Gate, but it was really a disaster from the sky! The change of Xuanwu Gate, the water is deep here, where can I mix it casually? Chen Fei thought to himself.
Chen Fei has his own understanding of history, that is, history is deep! History, you can't just look at those records, those records are all deceitful. Therefore, Chen Fei knew that there were many internal reasons for the changes in Xuanwumen, so Chen Fei didn't want to mix. With his own ability and status, if he mixes it casually, he will probably be eaten to the point that there are no bones left. But now that people are forcing you to reconcile, this makes Chen Fei want to cry. Originally, he just wanted to eat with his mouth, but now he was forced to participate in the Xuanwumen Mutiny, and this Chen Fei couldn't avoid it at all.
"Eldest grandson Wuji, can I not get involved in these things of yours?" Chen Fei pleaded.
But the eldest grandson Wuji shook his head, obviously not agreeing.
"You have to know that with the ability of His Royal Highness King Qin, can you make a small eight-rank official, at most a baron, evaporate from the world casually? And we have also investigated you, you seem to have been separated from your parents in troubled times, and you were raised by a petty official in the former Sui Zhishi and taught you to read. And now, that petty official has also passed away, so you have no relatives at all. Even if you evaporate from the world, you will not have relatives to avenge you. So, huh! Eldest Sun Wuji snorted coldly.
Chen Fei really wanted to cry, these fucking guys were too unreasonable, they actually forced themselves to join the gang! People are very strong, and it is easy to pinch yourself to death, and it will not cause any storms. And Chen Fei's identity was made up by him. In the troubled times not long ago, there were not a thousand people like Chen Fei, but also eight hundred, which is not unusual.
But the eldest grandson Wuji is right, if he disappears from the world like this, no one will think about avenging himself at all. And when the time comes, even if it is his so-called brother-in-law Chang He, he may not know that it is the eldest grandson Wuji and Li Shimin who attack him. So, it's dark! If I die, I'm afraid I really died in vain.
