After Chen Lin returned to Luoyang, he knew that the court was fierce, so he secretly accepted He Jin and Zhang Rang, and Chen Lin himself was a disciple of Yang Ci, so he originally thought that he could weigh and use it among the scholars, relatives, and eunuchs. I never thought that the three parties in the court would fight more and more fiercely, and there were loyal emperor Qingliu and others who violently attacked the eunuchs, and He Jin strongly supported the He family to compete for the queen's position. In short, Chen Lin only listened to the teacher come back every day or scolded or lamented, Chen Lin came to Luoyang only to find that this Luoyang is a huge spiral nest, a little careless, there will be a worry about life, so Chen Lin returned from Yizhou, a lot more cautious.

At the beginning of the year, because Xianbei attacked the two states for many years, the border people were miserable, Emperor Ling ordered the captain of Wuhuan, the general of the Xianbei Zhonglang, and the Xiongnu Zhonglang to lead the cavalry of 40,000 points to attack Xianbei from Gaoliu, Yunzhong, and Yanmen, and the Han army went out of the fortress for more than 2,000 miles, and was defeated by Xianbei. After this war, the Xianbei army was even stronger, on the contrary, there were few elite soldiers left in the north of the Han Dynasty, so they could only defend passively.

In May, Emperor Ling ordered the three princes to raise corrupt officials in various states and counties, and all of them were dismissed, and Emperor Ling's move was good, but the scholars, eunuchs, and relatives took the opportunity to install cronies, and the officials of various states and counties were monopolized by big forces, and it was even more difficult for people to get ahead.

Chen Lin only knew that the military camp, Chen Mansion and Yang Mansion ran back and forth, and he was in charge of the ups and downs outside, not writing a letter back to Anyang, and life passed quickly. In a blink of an eye, it was July of the sixth year of Xiping, and on this day, Chen Lin returned to the mansion, and a family member came to report, and Cao * asked to see him. Chen Lin was stunned, Cao Mengde? It's not just something, Chen Lin has always treated people with courtesy, and hurriedly greeted him in person. Cao * didn't say a few words, it turned out that this Cao * was going to be transferred to Dunqiu as Dunqiu Ling, and tomorrow he would hold a banquet at home and invite Chen Lin to the banquet.

As soon as Cao * left, Chen Lin thought about the activity, Cao * governed Luoyang quite strictly, and many powerful people ate Cao *, so they tried to transfer Cao * out and keep him away from Beijing. And Cao* also saw the situation in Luoyang, and also had the heart to stay away from this place. Tomorrow, a banquet will be held at home to invite everyone to make a feast, because Chen Lin is somewhat famous in Luoyang, so Chen Lin is invited to the banquet.

The next day, Chen Lin went to the appointment on time, Cao * personally greeted everyone at the door, Chen Lin saw that this Cao * invited not high-ranking officials and magnates, but young talents such as Liu Biao Yuan's brothers, and among them, Yuan Benchu and Cao * were the most friendly. Chen Lin also knew these people, and he beckoned everyone, so he sat down and talked with Zhang Miao and Zhang Mengzhuo next to him.

After a while, Cao * sat down, raised his wine glass and said to everyone: "Cao Mou left Beijing to take up his post in a few days, and fortunately all his friends did not give up, and he drank this cup with a certain man." Everyone drank happily, but it was Yuan Shu Yuan who was radical, and he dropped his wine glass and shouted: "Hmph, Meng De is a good lieutenant in the north of Luoyang, and those gelding dogs are not allowed to bully men and women, so they have to transfer Meng De out, which is really annoying." Next to him, Yuan Shao hurriedly grabbed Yuan Shu: "Highway, be cautious, be cautious." ”

Yuan Shu didn't care: "I'm afraid, who here is not a friend of Meng De, and he wants to be scolded." As soon as Yuan Shu said, everyone put down their wine glasses, it was not worth it for Cao *, but Cao * was full of relief and a carefree look. Xu You asked, "Ah Pu, you seem to be safe in your heart?" ”

Cao * heard Xu You's name Apu, his eyes narrowed, and he said with a smile as usual in an instant: "Instead of being so angry in Luoyang and being transferred to an official, why not, but Cao Mou has been a parent official on this side, I don't know what Ben and Bo Zhi taught so-and-so?" After all, everyone also looked at Yuan Shao and Chen Lin, just because only Yuan Shao and Chen Lin had served as county magistrates and county magistrates. Yuan Shao was appointed as Puyang Ling at the age of 19, and later resigned and returned to Luoyang because of his mother's death, and Chen Lin was also a high-ranking county magistrate for a few months.

Among the people, Chen Lin was the youngest, and Chen Lin didn't want to be in the limelight, so he hurriedly spoke: "There are only 4,000 people in a certain Yizhou County, and there is nothing to do, but there is a small official who can deal with the affairs of the county, but it is also idle, but there is no way to talk about it." After Chen Lin finished speaking, everyone laughed, and only Cao * glanced at Chen Lin meaningfully. Everyone surrounded Yuan Shao and laughed, but Yuan Shao enjoyed this scene very much, talking endlessly with everyone, attracting a burst of praise from time to time.

Cao* didn't intend to let Chen Lin go, and said: "Bozhi, you should speak freely when you meet today, you don't have to be so restrained. Could it be that Ji Ming Lao'er framed you for a while, and Bozhi lost the ambition of 'Zhou Gong spit and feed, thinking of the emperor's grace'? As soon as Cao * finished speaking, everyone looked at Chen Lin again, and Chen Lin looked at Cao * with a wry smile.

However, He Hao and He Bo solved Chen Lin's siege: "Bo has more poems, why don't you have another one today." After speaking, he looked at Chen Lin with a smile, Chen Lin smiled back, and was grateful, but he wanted to compose poems again, and when he saw Cao * and the others, he was also looking forward to it, Chen Lin thought to himself, it's okay. strode forward, and Gao Shou said: "Today, Chen Mou will make a song "Will Enter the Wine" in response to the occasion" After that, he untied his saber and danced again, his movements were wide open, very heroic, and he sang in his mouth:

You don't see it, the water of the Yellow River comes up from the sky, rushes to the sea and never returns.

You don't see it, Gao Tang Mingjing is sad and white-haired, and the morning is like green silk turning into snow at dusk.

Life must be happy, don't make the gold bottle empty to the moon.

I am born to be useful, and my daughter will come back when I am gone.

Cooking sheep and slaughtering cattle for pleasure will require 300 cups of drink.

Brother Benchu, Brother Meng De, will enter the wine, and the cup will not stop.

A song with you, please listen to it for me.

The bells and drums are not expensive enough, but I hope to be drunk and do not want to wake up.

The ancient sages were all lonely, and only the drinker left his name.

The Warring States Qi of Meng tasted the king, and the wine was ten thousand and happy.

The master must not say that he has little money, and he must sell the right thing.

Sweaty horses, Shu brocade robes.

Hu'er will exchange for fine wine and eliminate eternal sorrow with me.

After singing a song, Cao*: "Why is it that every time Bo Zhi composes poems, they are so strange, but they are so wonderful, and the poems written by Bo Zhi in the future can be their own, hahahaha." The rhythm of the poems composed by Chen Lin is somewhat different from the poems written by scholars at that time, so Cao * has this statement.

Among the guests invited by Cao * today, He Hao and He Boqiu are the most talented and famous, and no one in the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty knows the name of He Hao. At this time, He Hao also said: "The world's polymath does not know geometry, but when it comes to poetry, it should be the most innovative to Bozhi, not sticking to the old laws, but doing it as he pleases, He is not as good as ah." ”

Chen Lin was praised by everyone, and he was a little proud in his heart, and said: "Brother Meng De is also a parent official, I don't know what your plans are in the future?" The first to speak was Cao*: "I miss me Cao*, in this life, I only wish to be able to write on the tombstone after death, 'Tomb of the General of the Han Dynasty Conquering the West', I don't know when I can get my wish." "Cao* actually wanted to go into battle and kill the enemy.

He Hao wants to pursue scriptures wholeheartedly and be indifferent to officialdom. And the Yuan brothers naturally take their ancestors as an example and worship the marquis. Liu Biao was willing to defend one side for the ancestors, but Xu You and others said that they were casual. Chen Lin was free to plan, but at this time, Chen Lin was envious of Cao*, who could go out as a county commander, but it was better than in this Luoyang land, if it was not intrigue, or inaction, it was stronger. Chen Lin thought to himself, it would be good to find a chance to leave Luoyang.

When Cao * left, many people were overjoyed, but Chen Lin only thought about how to leave Beijing. Yesterday, Yang Ci came back and said that in the Jinluan Palace, the previous generation of Confucian scholars Cai Yong and Cai Bojiao actually scolded the eunuchs in front of Emperor Ling. Chen Lin said in his heart, something is going to happen in Luoyang, although it can't harm himself, but he lives a heartwarming life.

Chen Lin sent both Zhou Cang and Huang Yan back to Anyang County, and there was nothing to do in Luoyang all day, so it was better to let the two go back and let Huang Long, a master of the hidden world, temper himself. Chen Lin served as the governor of Henan for more than eight months, during which Chen Lin had never been to other places in Luoyang except for the military camp, Chen's Mansion, and Yang's Mansion, and at most he sent Cao * to Cao*'s house. also because Chen Lin can study with Yang Ci calmly, and for some time, Chen Lin's studies are also deeply appreciated by Yang Ci.

When Chen Lin wanted Yang Ci to express his hope to go north to fight against Xianbei, it caused Yang Ci to be furious. scolded Chen Lin for not knowing the danger when he was young, and he was not afraid to come back from a trip to Yizhou, besides, the north is much more miserable than Yizhou, and only the exiled with felonies will go, I hope Chen Lin will not miss his future.

Yang Ci could also see that Chen Lin didn't like to stay in Beijing as an official, so he said: "Bo Zhi can wait a little longer, and then go to Xuzhou or Yanzhou to be a county magistrate." Chen Lin immediately asked, it is feasible to return to Runan County. Yang Ci said that it can be, as long as it is not Chen Lin's hometown Pingxing County, other counties in Runan are okay, but Runan is the hometown of the Yuan family, and there are few counties that are not controlled by the Yuan family.

After that, Chen Lin never mentioned his ideas to anyone, and Chen Lin studied and practiced martial arts every day. Chen Lin thought that no matter how good his Sima was, no matter how strong his military training was, he would not be able to take this song with him when he left Luoyang in the future, so Chen Lin might as well buy some young and strong slaves in the horse market outside the east of the city, teach them martial arts and archery, and have more helpers in the future.

Chen Lin thought of it, and for more than ten days, Chen Lin ran to the horse market with his family and bought more than 20 young and strong slaves who were less than 20 years old. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, every large scholar family owned many domestic slaves, and there were always some domestic slaves who could not please the master's family, and the master's family was unwilling to kill or let go in vain, so the matter of buying and selling slaves happened. The largest employer of slaves is the army, and when the army needs to replenish the army, it will buy a large number of slaves, and the slaves are cheap and do not need to pay military salaries, as long as they are full.

If it weren't for the small Chen Mansion in Luoyang, Chen Lin would not have to buy one hundred and eighty, like Chen Lin raised three or two hundred slaves in Luoyang, he would not be suspicious, although the Chen family already had hundreds of slaves in Anyang. Therefore, a big family like the Yuan family, there are mansions in many places, and each mansion has hundreds of house slaves, so if the Yuan family wants to do something, it can gather tens of thousands of house slaves, but it is a simple matter, and the military strength of some counties in the Han Dynasty is still less than 10,000, which shows the status and power of the Shi clan in the Han Dynasty.

Chen Lin was bent on making some small calculations for himself, but Yang Ci didn't have the heart to take care of Chen Lin recently, Yang Ci was doing his best to actively deal with the eunuchs Cao Jie, Wang Fu and others with the Yuan family, Cai Yong and others. After Cao * left, the public security in Luoyang was in chaos, and Wang Ji, the son of Wang Fu, was the leader, dominating Luoyang, doing evil, and doing all kinds of evil. Chen Lin ordered the Chen family not to leave the house if they had nothing to do, so as not to cause trouble. In this way, Chen Lin was even more determined to leave Luoyang.

Chen Lin wrote three letters in a row, one was to Zhao Qian, the Taishou of Runan County, one was to his grandfather, and the other was to Chen Guo, who was in the savage ridge of Anyang County, but there was such a sentence in the letter to Chen Guo: Design to kill Yuan Tong and Yuan Wuju.
