"Why should I show favor to the Chen family?" Jiang Yi laughed when he heard this, "Someone from his Chen family came out at this time, and it was a good thing for others to look at it, but I looked at it, but it was the bane." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

The more Jiang Hu listened, the more confused he became, but he was a servant, and it was enough to serve the master's family well, so he didn't ask.

Jiang Yi didn't plan to explain it to his servants too clearly, so after saying this, he changed his words and said, "Don't talk about the matter of handing over the chess game to Chen Zhi." ”

"Little one understands." Jiang Hu nodded, but hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "However, there were a lot of people present at that time, even if the little one was tight-lipped, I am afraid that this matter will be leaked, and then your reputation, young master?" ”

"Leaked is leaked," Jiang Yi narrowed his eyes, "If you lose your chess skills, you will lose, and it is nothing to pass on the chess game, that Hun prince Liu Yunyan, it is said that he once studied in the capital under a pseudonym, and he came this time, and he was very well prepared, in contrast, our understanding of him is not enough, plus he has changed slightly on the chess road, which is different from today's atmosphere, at first glance, it is inevitable that he will be uncomfortable, and this is an opportunity, in contrast, Chen Zhi is the real reputation in the past, even if he Liu Yunyan, can detect my chess path, but if he can also detect Chen Zhi, or know Chen Zhi, it is a strange news! ”

"But in this way, wouldn't it be a gift to Chen Zhi with a reputation?" Jiang Hu finally expressed his worries in his heart, "If Chen Zhi wins, won't all the previous defeats become his stepping stones?" If the young master really discovered the weakness of the Huns, why not challenge it himself? ”

Jiang Yi was silent, and finally shook his head and said: "I don't have the certainty of winning at this time, if Chen Zhi can really win, it is his ability, just as I asked you to bring it, the so-called chess game is just a reference, if he really has the ability, even if he encounters Liu Yunyan's chess move, there is some discomfort in the early stage, but with his memory and foresight, at most after one game, he can find the key." ”

After saying this, he saw that Jiang Hu was still waiting to talk about it, so he shook his head and said: "At the moment, I will still go to this apricot altar, but this matter is no longer the most important, now that the political situation in the court has changed, the king of the East China Sea has fallen, and the king of Guanghan has gained power, and the marquis of Wuxiang has a faint intention of retiring, and he has pushed the position of the great Sima, and Chen Yong, who is in the Chen family, has already decided to take over the position of the imperial servant, and the power of the court is facing drastic changes. ”

These words, he did not shy away from his henchmen, and said them in advance, which also made Jiang Hu know in his heart, and he could make some arrangements in advance, so that he would not be flustered when the matter came to an end.

Jiang Hu was in his heart, he had also heard of these news, so he had the goodwill, and at the same time, he also knew that the king of Guanghan was different from the king of the East China Sea, this king of Guanghan Liu Chu was the royal brother of the current saint, ranking second among the heirs of the previous emperor, and the abolished prince and Liu Qi, the king of Hejian, was the brother of one of his mother's compatriots.

Now that the king of Guanghan is in power, the first thing is to release the abolished prince, and then vigorously woo the courtiers, the situation in the court has changed, one of the most obvious things is that the Shu Shi clan was nominated for important positions, on the contrary, perhaps out of balancing the Shi clan and reducing the opposition at the same time, the Shi clan across the north and south like the Chen family has also been promoted.

Chen Yong, who is said to be a servant, is a member of the Chen family in Pengcheng, and his seniority is twice as high as that of Chen Zhi, and he is the same generation as Chen Taigong, who was an ancient man not long ago, but his person is the Xiapi Chen family.

"Okay, you go and prepare first, you don't need to ask anything else, as for Liu Yunyan's matter, let the others worry about it." Jiang Yi said, waving his hand, as if he didn't care anymore, but Jiang Hu was so familiar with the lord that he still read a little unwillingness from his expressions, but he didn't dare to point it out.

At the same time, there was a fast horse galloping from outside the city, and after the knight on the horse entered the city, he asked a few passers-by, identified the direction, and galloped towards the courtyard of the Zuo family's house, but in this city he could not ride a horse, but could only run.

When he got the Zuo family's mansion and explained his intentions, the servant of the Zuo family asked him to find Chen Ju, and almost at the same time, a servant of the Wang family knocked on the door and found the Zuo family.

After a few breaths, Chen Ju eagerly knocked on Chen Zhi's door.

"Look at you, did you receive some good news from home?"

Looking at the joy on Chen Ju's face, Chen Zhi already had a guess, and then asked Chen Ju to tell the story.

"Back to the young master, there is good news from the family, Master Chen Yong in the south is now elected to the position of the imperial servant, in charge of the official mansion animal husbandry, ranked in the ninth qing!" When Chen Ju spoke, there was a slight tremor in his voice, showing the excitement in his heart.

This is not surprising, because Chen Ju is strictly counted, and he is also a member of the Chen clan, but his family is in the middle of the road and has become an ordinary household in Chen Zhuang, because he still wants to get ahead, he will participate in Chen Zhi's recruitment of family members.

After he became a family member in Chen Zhi's mansion, this household registration was not directly attached to it, became a slave, and still retained the original family registration, which is normal, after all, they are all clansmen, if they are forcibly included in the slave family, it will damage Chen Zhi's name.

It is this background that makes Chen Ju extremely loyal to Chen Zhi, and at the same time he is also proud of the Chen family, so as soon as he heard the news from his family, he hurriedly came over to inform Chen Zhi and informed Chen Zhi of the news.

"Uncle Chen Yong took over the servant?"

Chen Zhi was also very surprised when he heard the news, but he immediately understood, this is probably an impact of the change in the court, the king of the East China Sea stepped down, representing the reshuffle of the court's forces.

Could it be that the Chen family will rise again in this round of power reshuffle?

In fact, the current Chen family is no longer strong, relying on Chen Deng's aftermath of following Zhaolie, the family is still a big family, but since Xuanwu moved the capital, the original southern scholar clan has been weakening, although there are still a few top gate valves, but the overall trend is constantly declining.

The Chen family is a northern scholar, but with Zhaolie moved south, so there are two main branches today, and the main body of its power is the southern branch, that is, the Xiapi Chen family, compared to the Pengcheng Chen family, I don't know where it is higher.

However, since the unification of the Central Plains, affected by the decline of the Jiangdong Shi clan, the power of the Xiapi Chen clan is also declining, and one of the most significant manifestations is that there are fewer and fewer Chen people who are ministers and doctors in the court.

Among the official positions of the Xinhan Dynasty, there are mainly three classes, from the bottom to the top, the common titles are generally corporal, sergeant, and minister.

Among them, the corporal's official qualities are eight and nine grades, and the nine grades are mostly counties and offices of 200 or 300 stones, and the eight grades are counties and directors;

The sergeant is the official product of the sixth and seventh grades, of which the seventh rank is mostly those with a rank of more than 600 stone in the orders of the commissions, and the sixth rank is those who are more than 1,000 stones in the counties and the rank of the decrees.

The official products of the fifth rank and above are included in the secretary of state, and this kind of official position is the key to maintaining the strength of a family.

For example, Xu Hui, the Taishou of Pengcheng County, has five official products, while Zhang Chu, the Xuzhou Thorn History, and Wang Dun, the Yangzhou Thorn History, are four grades, and these are all at the level of two thousand stones.

At present, the servant of Chen Yong of the Chen family is one of the further secretaries, strictly speaking, he is one of the nine secretaries, two thousand stones in the ranks, three official products, and is the real core of the imperial court, a senior leader of the country, a ministerial-level figure, and an upper-class minister among the ministers.

Jiuqing is on the top, then there are only first-class and second-grade characters like the third prince and the general, and they are all enjoying the rank of ten thousand stones, and the peak of the ministers!

In this case, Chen Yong's arrival as one of the nine Qings is naturally of great help to stabilize the power of the Chen family and the trend of the family, and it is no wonder that Chen Juhui is so excited.

Even the other people in the room congratulated Chen Zhi after the initial surprise.

Liu Gang even smiled and said: "If Bugling Chen is here, as soon as he hears the news, he will definitely brag about it, and he will have to drag him if he wants to leave." ”

Chen Zhi shook his head and said: "Your congratulations, I know, but after all, this is the Xiapi Chen family, and I and the Pengcheng Chen family may not be able to get much defeat, at most we will gain some reputation." ”

When Chen Ju heard this, he wanted to speak again and again, and finally did not speak.

And Lu Ying shook his head and said: "Since the same clan and the same surname, they are all prosperous and lossy, and now the Chen family has been reused, and with Chen Gong as a servant in the court, then you can gradually accept and install the younger generations of the clan, Brother Chen is the pillar of the Chen family, and now he is famous in two states, praised by the emperor, has Zhuge as a friend, and defeated the descendants of Jiang Hou, the future is unlimited, and it is difficult for others to say, but Brother Chen, you must be reused by Chen Gong, it's just a matter of time." ”

Tao Ya also nodded and said: "Yes, after all, it is still the same clan, this is similar to the situation of my uncle, at most only two months, Pengcheng Chen will inevitably benefit, just when the time comes, our study tour is also about the same, Brother Chen has passed through the apricot altar and other things, and his reputation is close to the peak, and when he arrives in the capital, he just visits Chen Gong, with three grades of hometown products, which five or six grades of the starting officer, it is also logical." ”

"Two months?" Chen Zhi chewed on this length of time, thoughtfully, and then smiled, "This matter is just news, and it also represents a change in the government, we really don't need to care too much, let's take care of the present." ”

When the people saw his attitude, they said no more, but after saying two more words, they dispersed first.

At this time, a servant came over and came to Zuo Qing's side, and after saying a few words, Zuo Qing's expression changed slightly and he hurried away.

After dinner, Chen Zhi returned to the room, and was about to open the chess game sent by Jiang Hu and analyze it carefully, but there was a knock on the door of the room, and after getting permission, Zuo Yuan and Zuo Qing came in one after another.

As soon as Chen Zhi saw them, he knew the reason, closed the chess score, and invited the two of them to sit down.

As soon as Zuo Yuan sat down, he didn't care about anything else, so he asked straight to the point: "Mr. Chen probably already knows why I came." ”

Chen Zhi nodded and said, "It should be a matter of the Wang Family's Cultural Association." ”
