Chapter 418: Chen Deng, Chen Yuanlong
readx;
"The old man thanks His Royal Highness for his great kindness, the old man remembers it in his heart!!" Tao Qian's tone was a little stalky, although this was a bit abnormal for an old master like Tao Qian, but who made Tao Qian take the Han family so seriously in his heart? Now it can be said that Liu Tai, who represents the orthodoxy of the Han family, treats Tao Qian so well, what can Tao Qian say?
"Whew" not long after, Tao Qian sat on the recliner, closed his eyes and enjoyed the comfort brought by the recliner, the pain in his waist was slowly relieved because of the relaxation of the whole body, and a heavy turbidity was exhaled from the corner of his mouth, and the whole person looked much more relaxed.

Liu Tai, who was dressed in civilian clothes and quietly stared at Tao Qian, shook his head slightly, his eyes flashed with the taste of crying and laughing, with Liu Tai's martial arts achievements, he could completely sense the situation of this person from a person's breathing at a uniform speed, and at this time, Tao Qian's breathing clearly told Liu Tai one thing, that is, Tao Qian actually fell asleep!!
Standing up and stretching his waist, from last night to now, Liu Tai has not rested for a moment, glanced at Tao Qian, Liu Tai walked out of the Chinese army tent lightly. Liu Tai understands that Tao Qian is old, and his energy is naturally insufficient, and he ran for most of the day after such a big movement last night, if he is a young man, he can still hold on, but at Tao Qian's age, it is a bit difficult for a strong man.
Not long after, in another small tent, Liu Tai sat on a soft couch in civilian clothes, smiling at a man below. The man who was watched by Liu Tai looked very restrained, sitting at Liu Tai's lower head a little restless, and sneaking a glance at Liu Tai from time to time, his expression was like stealing a girl's daughter.
"Chen Yuanlong, why are you so restrained? Could it be that the widow is a man-eating tiger? Looking at Chen Deng with a smile, he didn't have the demeanor of a king at all, and with the lilac plain clothes, he looked like a big boy next door.
"Your Royal Highness, villain, villain....." trembling, Chen Deng didn't say the next words for a long time, looking at Liu Tai's expression nervous and frightened, as if sitting in front of Chen Deng was not only a person, but also a real god!
"You, usually so bold, why are you tied up now? The widow has heard that if he can sit with the god king in his life, he will respect the widow with three hundred cups..."Liu Tai said pointedly. Chen Deng, Liu Tai is no stranger, after all, Chen Deng is one of the rare celebrities in Xuzhou in history, over the years, the person in charge of the second group of dragons and tigers in Xuzhou has been deliberately befriending the Chen family, Chen Gui and Chen Deng's every move of the father and son, can not escape Liu Tai's eyes.
"This, this...."Raising his head with a stunned face, Chen Deng gasped and couldn't speak, that sentence was not unfamiliar to Chen Deng, although it was only a drunken word, but the words that could be taken as the object of Liu Tai, the cautious Chen Deng was just that, but I didn't want to, just such a drunken word, it actually fell into Liu Tai's ears clearly!
Surprise! Terrifying!
But fortunately, Chen Deng did not do anything to offend Liu Tai, over the years, the shops of Kyushu Commercial Bank in Xuzhou have not had any official problems, and a lot of credit is on the Chen family, and the reason why the Chen family is so obvious is that in order to leave a favor when Liu Tai goes south to unify the world in the future.
"The villain offended His Highness by talking nonsense, and I hope His Highness will be gracious!" Cold sweat continued to fall on his forehead, and Chen Deng was really a little scared at this time, Liu Tai's pervasive ears and eyes made Chen Deng appear in front of Liu Tai like a naked woman.
"Kai'en? Why be gracious? Has the widow said he would blame you? Liu Tai smiled and waved his hand, that kind look, he really couldn't see the shadow of the killer demon king. But the problem is that the more amiable and amiable Liu Tai is, the more frightened Chen Deng is, as the saying goes, if something goes wrong, there must be a demon!
Liu Tai's performance outside has always been ruthless, unkind, talented, and domineering. There has never been a smile in anyone's mouth, but now, this look suddenly appeared in front of Chen Deng's eyes, can Chen Deng not be afraid, can he not tremble?
In just a few dozen breaths, the sweat on Chen Deng's forehead has been dripping all over his body, and the purple look on his face is really hard to believe, how Chen Deng in the past is holding the pearl of wisdom and how he is deciding thousands of miles away.
"Your Highness said, said, laughed, villains said in vain that Your Highness, it deserves, it deserves to be punished heavily." Chen Deng is not a fool, offending a big man like Liu Tai, if he doesn't decisively admit his guilt, he will get into more trouble, of course, sometimes the smarter the person, the more brainless he will be.
"You." Shaking his head, Liu Tai put away his smiling face, Liu Tai also knew that the reason why Chen Deng was so scared was probably his own smile, after all, with Liu Tai's identity, it was difficult to put on an ordinary person's look.
"Well, the widow will punish you for drinking three hundred cups alone." Liu Tai looked at Chen Deng lightly and said aloud, the original kind look has long disappeared without a trace, looking like a god from above, overlooking the world, and at this time, only Chen Deng is the only one who bears this kind of gaze.
"Thank you, Your Highness, for your kindness!!" Gently exhaling a breath of turbidity, at this moment Chen Deng finally understood that Liu Tai really did not blame himself, after all, Chen Deng had not been in contact with Liu Tai, how could he know Liu Tai's real surname?
The casual two words "but" suddenly made Chen Deng's heart tighten, only to see Liu Tai glance at Chen Deng, then touched the non-existent beard on his chin and said: "These three hundred glasses of wine, you should drink alone at the celebration banquet in Luoyang Palace, at this time, there is no wine that you Chen Yuanlong can look up to in the army." ”
"Grinning, Chen Yuanlong was a little speechless, thinking in his heart, no wonder the world accompanies you like a tiger, at this moment Chen Yuanlong deeply felt the kind of supreme majesty that Liu Tai gave him, this is not something that ordinary people can bear.
"Thank you Your Highness for your great kindness, and at that time, you will not reduce the three hundred cups of water to show your repentance." Recovering his mentality, Chen Deng arched his hand at Liu Tai and said, that relaxed look really couldn't see Chen Yuanlong's embarrassed demeanor just a moment ago.
"Alright, alright, the widow has something to ask you." Sitting up straight, Liu Tai looked directly at Chen Deng, and asked out loud without the slightest expression: "At this time, how many princes' armies are there in Pingxian County, and what is the share occupied by Xuzhou soldiers?" Where is the garrison located? The widow wants you to say it completely, is Yuanlong willing to be honest with the widow?
Chen Deng's expression didn't seem to be surprised, he raised his head and looked at Liu Tai, very flat, as if he had returned to his original chic and confident appearance, but Chen Deng didn't say it directly, as if he was still thinking about the pros and cons.
"Deng has a question, I don't know if His Highness is willing to solve his doubts?" didn't answer Liu Tai's question, Chen Deng instead asked, it seemed a bit rebellious, but who called Chen Deng not Liu Tai's "courtier" now? The two sides are still on completely different sides.
"Just ask!" Liu Tai waved his hand and said without a drop of dust. If Chen Deng really told all the information about Pingxian without hesitation, then Liu Tai would really not be interested in Chen Deng anymore, after all, anti-bone boy is disgusted by everyone, especially when Chen Deng's old master, Tao Qian, is still alive.
Chen Deng was thinking with his eyes closed, as if he was sorting out his thoughts, and after a while, he saw Chen Deng open his eyes, his eyes flashed with inexplicable brilliance, looked directly at Liu Tai, put his hands on the dantian position, and asked: "Not only when does Your Highness want to be the emperor??? ”
Emperor !! Sure enough, Liu Tai had already thought of the question that Chen Deng wanted to ask long before Chen Deng asked, after all, whether Liu Tai was the emperor or not was related to the fate of the entire Han Dynasty, who wouldn't want to know? Even the most ordinary people are worried about it.
Although Chen Deng's family is mainly based on selling grain, it actually has a large share in the officialdom, for example, Chen Gui's uncle Chen Qiu, who was a member of the imperial court back then, and Chen Gui himself also held an important position in Xuzhou.
As a scholar, the greatest concern is the general trend of the world, of course, if the emperor is another clan, the reaction of the scholar clan will not be so great, but Liu Tai is different! You must know that Liu Tai's measures against the scholars over the years can even be known as a history book!
Liu Tai's overbearing behavior is extremely disgusting, every time the Tianci army captures a place, the local scholars will either kowtow to the vassals, liberate the slaves in the clan, and return the land to the government, or be expelled from the country, and will not be allowed to enter Liu Tai's subordinate for life!
If Liu Tai does not have the intention of unifying the world, then the princes of the Central Plains and the princes of Southern Xinjiang may turn a blind eye to this, after all, Liu Tai's strength is too strong, even if they are united, it is useless, and the most important thing is that Liu Tai has never been defeated since his debut, such a fabulous past, who has the heart to dare to be an enemy? Isn't that full of food and looking for death?
Chen Deng, who is equivalent to the representative of the Xuzhou Shi clan, is looking for a compromise plan, which is the so-called balance point, and this balance point starts with Liu Tai, if Liu Tai has made up his mind to smooth out the troubled times and unify the world to achieve great things, then Chen Deng's family does not have to do a useless struggle, and it is important to dispose of the efforts and land as soon as possible, and get Liu Tai's favor.
But if Liu Tai is current, yes, that is, he is not in a hurry to unify the world in a short period of time, then the Chen family may have more opportunities, such as selling their slaves and land at a high price, then the Chen family will earn more money and food!
Today's Xuzhou since the Mi family sold all the land, completely rooted in the northern Xinjiang, most of the fertile land in Xuzhou fell into the hands of the Chen family, if Liu Tai unified Xuzhou, these high income of the fertile land will become worthless, then the Chen family will get only the poor subsidy of the government, which will be a huge blow to the Chen family.
But if you can know Liu Tai's thoughts in advance, the ending will be completely different. At this time, although the northern Xinjiang is becoming stronger, but Liu Tai has not yet unified the world after all, those princes still have hope, as long as Liu Tai does not dominate the world, then those good land is fragrant for the princes, if the Chen family really releases a large piece of land, it will definitely make the gate lords break their heads, and therefore, the Chen family will naturally be able to make a lot of money.
As a child of the Chen family, can Chen Deng not think about the family?
You must know that the fertile land in Xuzhou controlled by the Chen family is too much, too much to bear a little loss, if there is a case, then the Chen family will be thrown into a place of no return! And now, Chen Deng can have the opportunity to peek into the future trend of the world, why not?
"Whether you are the emperor or not, it is not in the widows, but in the hearts of the people in the world!" Liu Tai's eyes shone with a strange light, looking at Chen Deng like a fiery sun, making Chen Deng feel hot all over. In Chen Deng's eyes, it seems that Liu Tai at this moment has become a real sun, shining on all living beings!
"What if the people want to be the emperor?" Chen Deng didn't let go of the slightest step by step, as if he had forgotten the huge pressure that Liu Tai had put on him, and at this moment, Chen Deng had obviously put the survival of the family on top of his own life!
Liu Tai squinted at Chen Deng, there was no dissatisfaction in his eyes, in Liu Tai's heart, a true wise man should be fearless of everything, and Chen Deng at this moment performed very well, and he had been initially recognized by Liu Tai.
"If this is the case, the widow will worship his ancestors in Luoyang!" The meaning is obvious, if the people of the world really promote Liu Tai as the emperor, then Liu Tai can only sit on the throne "reluctantly", of course, no one knows the most real thoughts in Liu Tai's heart.
"The villain Chen Deng meets His Royal Highness the God King, His Royal Highness Chitose Chitose Chitose!!" Suddenly, Chen Deng stood up, knelt down in front of Liu Tai, and knocked his head three times in a row, and even obvious bloodshot could be seen on his raised forehead! Liu Tai did not stop and quietly looked at Chen Deng. Liu Tai knew that Chen Dengzhi kowtowed three times at this moment, which meant that he and the family behind him were really on Liu Tai's side, and the reason why he still called himself a villain was mainly because Liu Tai did not give Chen Deng any official position.
"If the widow is the emperor, within ten years, you will be on the throne of Jiuqing!" Liu Tai stood up and strode towards Chen Deng, and after a while, Liu Tai and Chen Deng were only a few dozen centimeters away, only to see Liu Tai pick up Chen Deng, his eyes were blazing and staring at Chen Deng's expression, and he said loudly.
Jiuqing!!
Today's Chen Deng is only twenty-two, just when his career has just emerged, even if he sits up from the county official and walks step by step to the political power center of the Han Dynasty, if he rises to the top of Jiuqing within ten years, then it means that he can be promoted once a year, and even some places can be called a triple jump, so glorious, so promised, can Chen Deng afford it?
"Is Your Highness serious?" Excited, irrepressibly excited, I saw Chen Deng's lips trembling and looking at Liu Tai and asked. Don't underestimate the position of Jiuqing, you must know that although the third prince is the highest governor of the Han Dynasty, the problem is that it is Jiuqing who really executes, and Jiuqing is inferior to the third prince in terms of status, but the power in his hands is far more than that of the three princes!
It is easy to let the three princes work, but it is difficult to find Jiuqing!
Of course, with Chen Deng's talent and ability, it is impossible to take office as Jiuqing at present, at least within three years. After all, Chen Deng is too young and has no experience, if he has enough experience, Liu Tai can still let it go, after all, Northern Xinjiang is not without this kind of character. Do you think that Xun Yu was a white man at the beginning, and he had no experience in anything, but now he has become a big man who is very important in Northern Xinjiang and has a status only below Liu Tai?
"Could it be that Yuanlong thinks it's too long, isn't it?" As soon as his attitude changed, he saw Liu Tai patting Chen Deng's shoulder, and said with a smile. Then Liu Tai turned around and walked to the left of the tent, only to see a row of wooden bookshelves placed against the curtain on the left side of the tent, and the shelves were full of all kinds of strange books, including a few books dedicated to recording Liu Tai's various battles and various new administrative laws in the past ten years, and these books were all written by individuals without exception, not printed products.
"Oh? Yuanlong cared so much about the widow. "There is no doubt that this camp tent belongs to Chen Deng, and the only thing on the bookshelf that visited Chen Deng was probably written by Chen Deng himself, and it was not until he entered the camp that Liu Tai found these books.
"His Royal Highness is deeply admired by the world, and villains are no exception." Chen Deng bowed and came to Liu Tai's side, looking extremely respectful, as if Liu Tai in front of him was already Chen Deng's master. Indeed, Fang Cai's three rings not only indicate the Chen family's future position, but also indicate that Chen Deng will be Liu Tai's courtier from now on, even if he does not have any position!
"You" shook his head, looking at Chen Deng's respectful appearance, Liu Tai had a faint disappointment in his eyes. Chen Deng's wisdom is beyond doubt, and it is recorded in history that Chen Deng, with the power of a county, has repeatedly blocked dozens of times the soldiers and horses of Wu State, and such a feat is not comparable even to Zhang Liao, the pillar of Cao Wei in the later period. But the problem is that as a child of the scholar clan, his cautious attitude towards gentlemen made Liu Tai inevitably feel a little estranged in his heart.
Of course, this is caused by environmental reasons, after all, the family behind Chen Deng is a family of eunuchs, and it is not something that Liu Tai can change by his personal likes and dislikes, if Chen Deng can change this, Liu Tai believes that with Chen Deng's ability and wisdom, he can be compared with Guo Jia and other super-first-class strategists.
You don't have to be a first-class strategist, but you can be a great politician and military strategist!!
"His Royal Highness's Atonement" felt that Liu Tai was a little dissatisfied, Chen Deng was suddenly startled, frowning a little puzzled about what he had done wrong, in his state of mind, his attitude was more respectful, and he looked like a small follower, which made Liu Tai, who was watching Chen Deng, frown even more.
"Hey" sighed secretly in his heart, Liu Tai knew that Chen Deng's attitude could not be changed for a while, so he could only glance at Chen Deng lightly, and then walked to the top position and said: "Yuanlong, let's talk about Pingxian with the widows, now Pingxian is the last stop for the widows to surround Dong Zhuo, if you can take down Pingxian, the widows will remember your first credit!" ”
