To go to Beijing, you still need to cross the river from Youlingfang.

After crossing the river, you still need to walk more than 400 miles, although it is not too far, if you are faster, you may be able to reach Shangjing within ten days.

Zhong Zhengyuan was very puzzled in his heart, "Why don't you go over directly?" ”

Chen Changsheng said: "Hongchen is eventful, the road is under your feet, since you are here, why miss it?" ”

Zhong Zhengyuan felt that there was some truth, but he felt that Chen Changsheng was talking nonsense.

Thinking about it, it's okay anyway, it's always good to walk more.

The river is wide, and the river is choppy, and the two of them found a boatman to cross the river by the river.

The boatman wanted to get up and sail across the river, but he heard a sound outside, so he looked over.

After a while, the boatman lifted the curtain on the boat and said, "Two gentlemen, there is a little brother who is in a hurry to cross the river, can you make do with it?" ”

Chen Changsheng didn't care, and asked, "What does Mr. Zhong think?" ”

"I don't squeeze either." Zhong Zhengyuan said.

A moment later, a man dressed in regular clothes got on board, and when he entered the canopy, he was stunned when he saw the two gentlemen.

These two are extraordinary just by looking at them.

Ji Xingsheng came back to his senses and said, "Ji Xingsheng thanks the two gentlemen." ”

"The boat is swaying, let's sit down first." Chen Changsheng said.

Ji Xingsheng agreed, then sat down, and he glanced at the two gentlemen in front of him again.

One is old, the other is young, and the similarity is probably that he has a remarkable temperament and is particularly clean.

Ji Xingsheng opened his mouth and said: "Listening to Mr. Accent, it doesn't seem to be a local person. ”

Chen Changsheng nodded and replied, "Chen is from Anning County. ”

"Anning County?"

Ji Xingsheng thought for a moment, then reacted and said, "But in the Southern Regions? ”

"You know?"

"Ji's job is related to maps, so he understands something."

When Zhong Zhengyuan heard this, he said: "The maps of the Southern Regions are all in the statistics, so I think the official position is not low." ”

"Sir is right."

Ji Xingsheng said: "Ji's official rank is now from the fifth grade, but in fact, he is just a supervisor. ”

"It's rare to be able to reach the fifth grade at your age." Zhong Zhengyuan said.

This is not easy, you must know that it is particularly difficult for the official level to go further, and some people have been officials for a lifetime, and they can only look at it from the sixth grade.

Ji Xingsheng said: "It's just lucky. ”

Chen Changsheng glanced at Ji Xingsheng and said, "The supervisor should be in the military department, why did he come here?" ”

Ji Xingsheng said: "A few years ago, the waterway collapsed, and there were some changes in some places on the map. ”

"I see." Chen Changsheng nodded.

Ji Xingsheng was particularly puzzled in his heart, and he secretly guessed the identities of these two people.

Usually, when he said that he was a fifth-rank official, most of the people in the world would be a little surprised, and then he would be especially respectful, but these two people didn't seem to care about his official title.

He also recalled the officials of all sizes in the capital city, and he never recalled that there were such two people, but he was sure that these two people must be from a lot of background.

"I wonder where the two gentlemen are going?" Ji Xingsheng asked.

Chen Changsheng replied: "It should be the same road with you." ”

"Do you want to go to Beijing......

Ji Xingsheng had a guess in his heart, he felt that maybe the old gentleman had an official position in the court, and it must not be low.

You can ask someone when you go back.

Chen Changsheng asked: "Chen heard that the war at the border pass is not optimistic, I don't know what kind of movement the DPRK and China can have?" ”

Ji Xingsheng immediately said: "The border pass is indeed difficult, but this is ...... in the DPRK and China."

He glanced at Zhong Zhengyuan on the side, thought for a while, and said: "Although the generals are brave, they lack strategy, and although the civil officials have plans, most of them are useless, and they are just talking on paper." ”

Zhong Zhengyuan glanced at him and did not speak.

Ji Xingsheng noticed this gaze, and he became more and more sure in his heart that this old gentleman must be a big man who returned to Beijing to work.

Chen Changsheng heard him say this and asked, "There should be a usable talent, right?" ”

Ji Xingsheng regarded it as a test for himself, and replied: "At present, there are only a few people. ”

Chen Changsheng was interested and said, "Let's hear it." ”

Ji Xingsheng smiled and said: "What Ji said is all personal thoughts, if he is wrong, I hope Mr. will not be strange." ”

"Ji thinks that today's Shangjing County Commander Liu Huaizhang should be counted as one, although the official position is only a county order, but his means are sharp, and his strategy is not bad, he is not afraid of Shengwei, he dares to say and do, and he is the only one in the court who has this courage."

"The Fan Master of the Hanlin Academy is also one, although he is not as upright as Liu County's order, but he has his own understanding of many things, and his innovation policies are even more direct to the key points everywhere......"

"But the most powerful thing is that the newly appointed Shaoqing of Dali Temple, who is only in his twenties, has taken the position of Shaoqing, doing things vigorously and resolutely, and has never made a mistake, and he is even more comfortable in officialdom, and he has never fallen into the disadvantage, even His Majesty admires him very much."

"Shaoqing of Dali Temple in his twenties?" Chen Changsheng asked, "It's so powerful?" ”

Ji Xingsheng said: "It's not just powerful, you must know that this person has only been in Beijing for four years, at first he was just a student of the Hanlin Academy, and after he came out, he solved several big cases, and then entered the Dali Temple." ”

He suddenly sighed with emotion: "Speaking of which, at that time, I was still classmates with Brother Chang Shan in the Hanlin Academy, and in the blink of an eye, he became the Shaoqing of Dali Temple." ”

Chen Changsheng paused for a moment and asked, "Who did you just say?" ”

Ji Xingsheng reacted and hurriedly said: "I almost forgot to say that Brother Changshan is now the Shaoqing of Dali Temple." ”

Chen Changsheng asked: "This Shaoqing of Dali Temple is from Yan County?" ”

"Sir, don't you know Brother Changshan?"

"I've had a few encounters, but I'm just not familiar with them."

Chen Changsheng actually never thought that Chang Shan would be able to reach such heights in a few years, which was completely beyond his expectations.

Zhong Zhengyuan saw Chen Changsheng say this, so he asked, "It seems that it should be Mr. Chen's old friend." ”

Chen Changsheng replied: "I have seen a few times in the view. ”

Zhong Zhengyuan nodded, and then stopped talking.

Ji Xingsheng watched these two gentlemen speak, and he was a little confused for a while.

How did he think that this old gentleman seemed to have some respect for the gentleman next to him, shouldn't it be the other way around?

Zhong Zhengyuan couldn't help but have a temperament, and counted this Shaoqing of Dali Temple.

'He was born as a Taoist priest......

Zhong Zhengyuan looked at Chen Changsheng on the side, he vaguely felt that Chen Changsheng had been planning these things early, and this Shaoqing of Dali Temple must not be accidental.

Zhong Zhengyuan withdrew his hand and said, "Mr. Chen's move is very good. ”

Chen Changsheng looked at him and said a little puzzled: "When did Chen play chess?" ”

Zhong Zhengyuan just smiled and didn't explain.

Chen Changsheng shook his head, he didn't know what Zhong Zhengyuan was thinking.
