Chen Zhan left Beijing to go to Shu to be an official, which was not a big deal.

It's just that no one expected the series of fluctuations that followed.

Chen Zhan really sent to Shudi, it was his own idea. The father was half angry. But in the eyes of others, it has become Chen Shilang's move to "think deeply about the city government and seek a way back for the Chen family".

The undercurrent of the capital is surging, and the battle in the palace is endless. The young and powerful vassal kings were left in the capital, and the Jian'an Emperor Dragon Chair was unstable and unaware of it.

The officials and nobles who were active in their minds saw that the chaos in the capital was about to break out, and they all secretly moved their minds.

Not to mention finding a way out for his own family, even if it is for safety reasons, it is time to pick one or two smart and capable children and grandchildren to leave the capital. To put it mildly, even if something happens in the capital and everyone suffers, there are children and grandchildren in their own family who can escape the catastrophe, right?

Shudi, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack in a remote corner, has suddenly become a sweet spot in the eyes of everyone.

For a while, there were more people secretly looking for Chen Shilang.

The relationship is mediocre, thinking of a way to give gifts. If you have a better personal relationship, you will open your mouth and speak out. If there is a vacancy in the official position in Shudi, you have to say hello and don't be snatched away.

If Chen Shilang shirks his words, he will have to be ridiculed for a few words. Such as "Ling Lang is really lacking, and he went to Shudi, which shows that Shu is a good place", "I want my young son to also go to Shu to find an official position, and I also ask Chen Shilang to help with it" and so on.

Chen Shilang: "......"

Even Emperor Jian'an, after the small court meeting, asked Chen Shilang half-jokingly: "I heard that Chen Shilang's eldest son also went to Shu to be a magistrate at the beginning of the year?" I really didn't expect that after the King of Shu went to Shudi, Shu became a desirable place. ”

Facing the cautious Emperor Jian'an, Chen Shilang had no choice but to laugh and say: "The emperor is smiling." This evil obstacle is a lack of officials who seek it by themselves. The minister was negligent for a while, and it was too late to know. ”

Emperor Jian'an smiled: "Chen Shilang is really good at laughing." ”

Chen Shilang held his stomach and sulked and had nowhere to complain. wrote three letters to his family in a row and angrily scolded the rebel son of the cheating father!

……

Chen Zhan, who was scolded so bloody, was so busy in Weiyuan County at this time that he didn't care about replying to the letter.

On paper, I finally feel shallow, and I never know that I have to do it.

This is true at all. After Chen Zhan, who was ambitious at the end of his term, took office as the magistrate of the county, he began to work hard and be busy with his feet on the ground.

When you first arrive, you have to find out all the situations in your office. All the messes left by the previous magistrate have to be cleaned up one by one. It is necessary to quickly familiarize yourself with the situation up and down in the county government, to find out the winding doorways, to deal with all kinds of trivial matters, and to judge cases and redress grievances for the people, and so on.

Fortunately, Chen Zhan, like Lu Chi and Zhao Qi, was born in a famous family with his back to a big tree, and no one dared to bully local officials, which greatly shortened the process and time of adaptation.

What's even more fortunate is that as a classmate, friend and confidant of the King of Shu, no matter what he does, he is not afraid of causing misunderstandings or estrangement.

Chen Shilang wrote three letters in a row, and Chen Zhan hurriedly read them and left them behind.

The emperor of Shangao is far away, and his father can't help him no matter how fierce he scolds in the letter.

After two months of busyness, Chen Zhan was able to sort out the affairs in hand a little.

In the blink of an eye, it was the beginning of May.

Chen Zhan vacated three days of free time, and galloped to the Shu Palace.

The birthday of Sheng Hong, the king of Shu, has arrived, and a birthday banquet was specially set up, and someone sent a post to all his henchmen. Everyone gathered in the Shu King's Mansion, one is to celebrate the birthday of the Shu King, and the other is to take the opportunity to get together to contact feelings.

Officials of all sizes in Shu also came to the banquet to give gifts and congratulations.

The Shu King's Mansion set up dozens of banquets, and it was lively for a whole day. In the evening, all the officials of Shu dispersed, and the rest were all people who came to Shu with Sheng Hong.

Sheng Hong specially ordered someone to set up a large round table and ordered everyone to sit around the table. Xie Yuanzhou and the Mei brothers were a little scared, and they felt shameless.

They all took advantage of the light of their in-laws, so they were able to follow the king of Shu. The rest of the people are all new science and technology scholars with outstanding talents, Lu Chi and others, and they are even more famous. How can they be equals?

Sheng Hong seemed to see through the concerns of the three of them, and said with a smile: "There are no outsiders here, so there is no need to pay attention to these vulgar etiquette." Tonight, don't think of me as the king of Shu. Today is my birthday, and I am very happy that you have come to celebrate my birthday together. Come on, come on, sit down. ”

Xie Yuanzhou's heart was hot, and the Mei brothers were also moved.

This is also Shenghong's unique casual and friendly charm.

The rest of the vassal kings, even Corporal Zai Lixian, have to serve some shelves. Emperor Jian'an, who has already sat on the dragon chair, has gradually revealed his true face of narrow-mindedness, where is there still the "gentle and modest" style of the past?

Sheng Hong's easy-going and easy-going is by no means pretended. You're always extra comfortable with him. You can be on an equal footing with him, laugh and laugh at will, and put your heart to heart.

This kind of equality and respect is what touches people's hearts the most.

Otherwise, why did Lu Chi and the others willingly follow the king of Shu to Shu?

……

With such a banquet, you can't even think about it.

Among the crowd, especially Zhao Qi and Chen Zhan were the most noisy. Both of them are Sheng Hong's classmates and friends, they are familiar with each other, and it is common for them to play tricks.

Sheng Hong was even more laughing and scolding, and it was extremely lively for a while, and the atmosphere was extraordinarily harmonious.

After three rounds of drinking, Chen Zhan complained: "My father wrote three letters to his family in a row, scolding me so much that I was bloody." ”

Zhao Qi laughed and teased: "Don't scold you, who do you scold?" Who asked you to sneak to Shudi and made Chen Shilang carry the black cauldron? ”

When it comes to carrying the black cauldron, everyone laughs together.

In the past few months, Shu officials have been inexplicably transferred to several positions, and all vacancies have been filled in the shortest possible time. Most of the people who came to serve were the children of official eunuch families or noble families. Even the cautious Emperor Jian'an was shocked.

Chen Shilang had a headache because of this matter.

Those who want to bet on multiple sides or seek a way out for their own family are reluctant to send the most outstanding children and grandchildren, and those who come are at least above average qualifications.

The officials of Shu have also been gradually replaced. I think this situation will continue for some time to come.

This is undoubtedly a good thing for the King of Shu.

What worries him the most now is that he doesn't have enough manpower. I wish there were more talents to be created.

Later people have to observe for a long time, and it is not so easy to officially fall under the command of the King of Shu. The person sitting at this table tonight is Sheng Hong's real cronies. Later, none of the people in Shu could come.

It can also be seen that Sheng Hong acted cautiously and carefully.

After the banquet was over, it was already a mid-time scene.

Sheng Hong was in high spirits tonight, in a good mood, and drank a lot of wine. Taking advantage of the wine, he took Xie Mingxi's hand out of the house and walked around the garden to admire the moon.
