Xiao Chen couldn't help but move.

Continuing to look down, I saw that it was written, "Chen Yunqi, the original secretary of the household department, sent the governor of Yazhou soldiers and horses, and the new secretary of the household department is Zhang Dongyang." ”

"Dongyang is from a flower exploration company, known as a clean and honest line, and a material for slaughtering and assisting."

Wan Jian'an acted cautiously, knowing that it was inconvenient to pass on the news in the palace, so he only explained the situation in just three lines.

The corners of Xiao Chen's mouth slightly hooked up a satisfied arc, and he instantly guessed the intention of Zhou Tianfu's move, "The old thief wants to protect his own manpower, and by the way, pull out the dissidents." ”

It's a pity, Old Thief Zhou, there's one thing you expected wrong-

Ben Du didn't play his cards according to the routine, you were greedy for ink, and Ben Du didn't tell the emperor at all!

Are you angry?

Xiao Chen let out a breath of turbidity, looked at the moonlight outside the window, and beat Zhou Lao Thief into a mess, which was really good.

However, gradually, Xiao Chen fell on the three words "Zhang Dongyang" in the note.

This person belongs to the Qingliu faction, Xiao Chen has heard of it before, but this time he didn't expect that he would also be involved and become the target of Zhou Tianfu's next suppression.

"The material of Zaifu...... The Governor must see him. ”

Xiao Chen's eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a touch of determination.

The next day, Xiao Chen sent someone to meet Zhang Dongyang.

Both of them were very punctual, and as soon as Xiao Chenfang sat down, he saw a middle-aged man wearing a blue cloth robe, an ordinary green cloth scarf, and a thin face, walking upstairs with the square steps of a literati and righteous man.

Xiao Chen got up, arched his hand, and made a gesture of "please" elegantly, "I have heard the name of Zhang Xuezheng for a long time, and I am fortunate to have a table to drink tea today, which is really the luck of the governor." ”

Zhang Dongyang's expression was complicated, and he also bowed back to Xiao Chen, and then sat down lightly.

Xiao Chen touched his nose, but he didn't feel anything, but poured him a cup of tea himself, "Zhang Xuezheng just came down from school?" ”

"Well, answer questions for the students."

Zhang Dongyang directly watched Xiao Chen finish pouring him this cup of tea, and then said in a somewhat complicated voice: "Thank you." ”

Looking at the entire Great Chu Kingdom, with Xiao Chen's current status, how many people can let him pour tea in person? This Dongyang didn't have any expression of panic and gratitude, which surprised Xiao Chen.

Immediately after, something more unexpected happened.

Xiao Chen was just about to raise his hand to pour tea for himself, when he saw Zhang Dongyang take the teapot from his hand and pour the tea in front of him.

Xiao Chen's eyebrows furrowed, and a hint of clarity appeared in his eyes, "Lord Zhang is not a courtesy, but to draw a line with the governor?" ”

Zhang Dongyang was upright, looked at Xiao Chen uprightly, and said calmly: "Invited by the overseer, the lower official really hesitated in his heart. First, I have admired the poems of the Governor for a long time, and I hope to see the truth. ”

"Second, what the Overseer's intention is for this appointment, the lower officials naturally know in their hearts."

Saying that, Zhang Dongyang arched his hand, with a dignified expression that could not be refused, "Forgive me, the overseer, I am just a mere learner, and I am only worthy of being with books and ink in this life, not worthy of Dongchang's appreciation." ”

"I can't do it."

Although he said polite words, his breezy face and lonely temperament beyond gold and jade still made people feel "taught".

Xiao Chen's eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked at Zhang Dongyang with a look, "In this way, this governor wants to thank Master Zhang for deliberately refusing me in person?" ”

Zhang Dongyang was calm, "The elegant person of the overseer is not like those pickled copper smells, as they should be." ”

Xiao Chen shook his head, but his meaningful eyes gradually overflowed with a smile, but he was relieved, "Sure enough, the rumors from the outside world are true, you are a talent who is not afraid of the powerful." ”

"In that case, the Governor will not go around the bush with you, but let's be straightforward, what will the Governor do to make you change your mind?"

Xiao Chen was very interested in this person, and communicating with smart people made him feel refreshed.

Zhang Dongyang smiled bitterly and changed the topic intentionally or unintentionally, "The poems made by the poets and immortals of the Qi Kingdom are gorgeous and magnificent, and the artistic conception and vision in them are very within the reach of people. Presumably, the Overseer himself must be very satisfied, right? ”

Xiao Chen found it even more interesting, raised his hand and slowly drank a cup of tea, and then slowly explored: "Listening to Zhang Xuezheng's words, he actually has another opinion on the poems made by Bendu?" ”

Zhang Dongyang has not yet taken up his post in the household department, and still serves as the supervisor of Taixue, similar to the assistant teacher of modern Peking University, Xiao Chen politely, "If Lord Zhang doesn't care about my humble background, I wonder if you can explain one or two things to me?" ”

"No, learning is not based on origin, not to mention that the lower officials have never felt that eunuchs are different from ordinary men."

Zhang Dongyang's voice was solemn, and there was a stubbornness in his eyes that he dared to fight against the world.

Xiao Chen's heart moved, he had never thought that someone in this era could have such a fair view, and his determination to take him for a few purposes was even stronger.

Zhang Dongyang took a sip of tea, looked at the pedestrians passing outside the window, and a touch of justice and compassion were inadvertently revealed.

"I wonder if the Overseer has ever taken a serious look at these beings?"

Xiao Chen was puzzled, "Every day, I look at everything in detail, how can I not look at it?" ”

Zhang Dongyang seemed to smile, "No, the overseer's vision is too big. ”

"You are in a high position, as far as the eye can see, there are all the red maples of Xiangshan Mountain, the boat race on the Li River, the majesty of the rivers and mountains, and the vastness of heaven and earth. Your position determines what you see, and what you see has always been the splendor and power of this world. ”

"Therefore, your poems are so beautiful that the eunuchs and doctors are all vying to read them, but no one sees the suffering in this world."

Xiao Chen's throat trembled slightly, and he only felt that he didn't mention the people in a word, but every word fell on the word "people".

"Does Lord Zhang think I'm a lackey of power and don't believe that I can be a good official, so he's not willing to follow?" At this point, Xiao Chen asked calmly.

"It's a pity" Zhang Dongyang sighed and looked at Xiao Chen seriously, "You are a talented person and a successful official, but you can never be a good official." ”

"For you do not see the people in your eyes."

Xiao Chen took a deep breath, but felt overwhelmed by a thick misunderstanding.

"Lord Zhang" Xiao Chen stubbornly bowed his hand, this teahouse is not hidden, his ambition and pride can only lower his voice, just like this is the situation he is in at this time, "I have a proposal that can make you and me honest with each other." ”

"I don't think you want to miss a like-minded comrade, do you?"

Zhang Dongyang's eyes narrowed slightly, and at this moment, Xiao Chen had a strong sense of Chicheng, which made his heart tremble slightly, "I want to hear it." ”

"Since Master Zhang enters with poetry, then let's come out with poetry. I will recite a poem below, if Master Zhang can understand the ideals and ambitions in my heart, and is willing to walk side by side with me......"

"Let's go to Haiyan Heqing, which is the same in our hearts!"

"If Lord Zhang still can't see it, the governor will no longer force it. How is it? ”

Xiao Chen knew very well that he was by no means a lackey as the world thought, and he said confidently and firmly.

Zhang Dongyang was infected by Xiao Chen's spirit for a while, took a deep breath, and was also very happy, "Okay, just follow what the Overseer said." The premise is, as long as you convince me! ”

Xiao Chen smiled confidently, and the poem had already sprung up in his heart, "The high wind roared in August and autumn, rolling up the triple thatched on my roof...... ”

Zhang Dongyang's eyebrows moved, and a look of surprise appeared in his eyes.

The autumn wind roared, the thatched houses were broken, and a scene of ruin and poverty jumped on the paper1

I didn't expect Xiao Chen to have such a miserable brushstroke that is so close to the people!
