When Chen Zhi received the news of the edict, it spread the next day, and the people who heard about it were amazed, but they couldn't help but sigh, and many of them saw the prospect of this matter. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Otherwise, this Chen family is going to rise! This is first Duke Chen served as a servant, and there may not be no possibility of further progress in the future, plus this dream son Chen Zhi is valued by the emperor again, this old generation, a new generation, is enough to support the Chen family for forty years! ”

"General of the expedition to the north, when the Northern Expedition of Xuanwu was announced, wasn't that the one of the Lu family with this title? It's extraordinary to have the same title as someone like that. ”

"And that thief leader Liu Yuan, how treacherous and hateful this bureaucrat is, and now he has finally died, it is really happy, and I don't know how many victories the officers and soldiers of the Northern Expedition have won, if they can annihilate the Huns in one battle and drive them back to the desert, it will be a good story."

……

In the streets and alleys, there was endless discussion, in addition to marveling at Chen Zhi's official position and title, that is, marveling at Liu Yuan's death, followed by expectations and analysis about the war on the Northern Front.

In contrast, the Xingtan Argument seems to have been forgotten and rarely mentioned.

"In this case, Chen Zhi's limelight is already too strong, and some overwhelm others, which is not a good thing."

Listening to the discussion of the people in the tavern, Sun Min, Cao Qing, Xun Zhe, Wei Ou and others were eating wine and food at the same table, discussing the current affairs.

The one who speaks is Xun Zhe.

As he spoke, he shook his head and said: "However, I think this is also the result of the current situation, and he Chen Zhi was afraid that he would not expect to encounter these things, so that even the death of the Lord of the Huns could be related to him." ”

"That's the problem." Sun Min, who always keeps a smile on weekdays, frowned at this time, "From this point of view, I am afraid that the news we received before is true, and the war on the northern front is indeed unfavorable." ”

Cao Qing understood for the first time and said: "Senior brother, do you mean to say that because the northern front is unfavorable and there are no other commendable achievements, the imperial court has to reward Chen Zhi and make a fuss about the death of the Lord of the Huns?" ”

"That's right," Sun Min nodded, and then waved his hand again, "But this matter, don't take it out for discussion for the time being, just keep it in mind, the current top priority is still Chen Zhi's business, he has an official position, I should also take time out to pay a visit." ”

Everyone nodded yes, but as they spoke, Xun Zhi suddenly thought of something and said, "You said that the mage has been closed for the past two days, is it also related to Chen Zhi?" ”

Cao Qing said with a smile: "I know this matter, although the master didn't say it directly, but from the few things he asked before closing the door, I can see that he is preparing, and wants to wait until the time of Xingtan to discuss the Tao, and compete with Chen Zhi. ”

Xun Zhe listened, couldn't help shaking his head, and sighed: "I'm afraid it's not easy, you have also read the "Six Kingdoms Treatise", not to mention the style and writing, just the idea in it, it will analyze some of the shortcomings very clearly, and it is also a political treatise, and when it is circulated, it will also establish Chen Zhi's reputation in this regard, and the master and his discussion cannot be limited to Buddhism. ”

He sighed here, and Cao Qing said: "I don't think it is necessarily, after the palace dinner, Chen Zhi's reputation has risen unprecedentedly, and even his reputation is not comparable to that of Xingtan Dao, so that many celebrities gathered in this Lu County have already worked hard, and they want to share their superiority with him in the Tao, not only the master, besides, the master and Chen Zhi originally had a grudge, and this mind must be a little heavier." ”

And Sun Min also thought of someone, so he looked at Wei Ou: "Brother Wei, you were quite close to the general of the Mi army before, after the banquet in the palace, the contradiction between this person and Chen Zhi is almost well known, and now Chen Zhi has won the title of general of the expedition to the north, maybe it is not as good as the real power of the Mi army, but it is much higher than it in terms of personality, if he wants to move Chen Zhi again, he has to weigh it, even if he doesn't consider the reputation of Chen Taifu, he has to worry about the rules of the soldiers, I don't know what it means over there now, say it, We may be able to sell Chen Zhi's favor, and if we want to get his favor in the future, it will not be easy. ”

This made Wei Ou a little embarrassed.

Before, in order to cling to Mi Jun, he was actually estranged from Sun Min and others, which was a taboo thing, but later he found that this general was not like a person who could get things done, so he got close to Sun Mi and others again.

He quickly revealed: "General Mi has something to do and won't tell me, but he also has a friend of mine under his account, who revealed a little to me, saying that this general is no longer going to trouble Chen Zhi and will return soon, but before he left, he also participated in General Zhu Shou's book, on the grounds that he left his post without permission." ”

"What a lord who refuses to suffer." Sun Min laughed when he heard this, "The Mi family behind him is not small, at least a little bigger than the Chen family, so when he started before, he wouldn't worry about Mrs. Chen, but now that the peak is turning, the situation is different, if General Mi still wants to go his own way, the family behind him will come forward to organize him." ”

A few people were chatting, when they suddenly heard a commotion outside the tavern, followed by a sound of surprise.

"How?" Sun Min was puzzled for a moment, and asked a servant to go over to inquire about the news, and he was quickly rewarded.

"Jiang Yi went to the Wang family's mansion to visit Chen Zhi?"

Everyone's expressions were a little surprised, and Cao Qing couldn't help but say: "No wonder others will be surprised, I heard this, I was a little surprised, the contradiction between the son of a word and the son of a dream, half of Qingzhou has already known, I heard that the two of them have not talked face-to-face once in the dinner in the palace." ”

Cao Qing guessed: "Could it be that you are not convinced, so you want to go over and talk about it again?" ”

Sun Min shook his head and said, "I don't think so, maybe I got some news that I don't know." ”

As soon as the voice fell, the crowd over there became noisy again, but this news was directly related to Chen Zhi, saying that Chen Zhi would not participate in the Xingtan Discussion, but went directly to Luoyang, after all, he had just received the edict, and there was still a lot of work to be handed over.

Such a decision has undoubtedly disappointed many people.

"Originally, I wanted to talk about the Tao in Xingtan, and then I heard the high opinion of the dream boy, but I didn't expect others to leave."

"It's a pity, it's a pity, he's gone, this apricot altar is a little less exciting."

"I was still looking forward to Mr. Chen leaving another ink treasure on the Xingtan Argument and writing the next article, but now I don't have this opportunity."

"I also think the same way, do you know that the original of the "Theory of the Six Kingdoms" has now been collected by King Lu, and I heard that it will be framed and hung in the study in a few days, and this kind of treatment can only be enjoyed by everyone in the world."

"I also heard that he and Xu Lao had some conflicts because of that character, but both sides were concerned about their identity and face, so they didn't argue, but it is said that the scene at that time was really embarrassing."

……

Everyone talked about the new news, but no one felt that Chen Zhi was afraid of Chen Zhi's refusal to participate in the Xingtan Seminar, or wanted to avoid the limelight for a while.

"Chen Zhi's "Theory of the Six Kingdoms", judging from the situation before and after, is really a temporary book, even if he has been prepared in the past, but he can write this level on the spot, it can also be seen that he is capable, such a ability, he does not participate in the Xingtan Discussion, no one will think that it is a retreat."

Listening to the discussions of the people around him, Xun Zhen has already tasted a little taste.

Sun Min also nodded and said: "Yes, didn't you mention it just now, there are many celebrities who are full of strength and want to argue with him, in this case, Chen Zhi is not victorious, nor is he defeated." ”

Cao Qing also understood the truth, nodded and said: "Victory, with his current fame, it doesn't make much sense to go further, or to improve within this range, but to make many celebrities more unhappy, and offend others in vain, but if he loses, he will damage his own reputation, and the foundation of fame he has just obtained will also become a pedal for others." ”

"Yes, so you see, how correct is he going?" Sun Min stroked his palms and smiled, "Moreover, one of the articles at that dinner is to get to the apricot altar to discuss the Tao, who can compare?" In this case, why should he limit himself to the land of the apricot altar? ”

Xun Zhe also nodded in agreement, and then said: "But Jiang Yi passed this time, and he didn't know what to do." ”

Sun Min smiled: "No matter what he is going to do, we have to hurry up and visit the dream boy, otherwise we won't have a chance." ”

At this moment, Jiang Yi, who was being talked about by several people, also came to the outside of the palace under the gaze of different eyes all the way, and his servant Jiang Hu stepped forward and knocked on the door, and then informed the identity of the visitor.

Then Chen Zhi personally greeted him to show respect.

Looking at Chen Zhi who was walking towards him, Jiang Yi said expressionlessly: "You and I met again, I didn't expect it to be such a scene, and I didn't expect that you would be so polite." ”

Chen Zhi smiled and said: "Brother Jiang is here, when there is something to teach me, how can you be lazy, please inside!" "Well, he'll go first.

Jiang Yi glanced at Chen Zhi deeply, and walked in.

The onlookers around did not disperse, although they did not see the situation of the two of them pulling out their crossbows, but they always felt that things would not be so simple, waiting to see the final ending.

In the courtyard, Chen Zhi and Jiang Yi sat down separately, and the maids and servants of the Wang family wanted to serve tea, melons and fruits, but Jiang Yi waved his hand to stop them, and heard him say: "These things are not necessary, I just want to say a word, and I will leave after speaking." ”

"This ......" Wang Ling was also on the spot, and he wanted to dissuade him when he heard the words, but Chen Zhi smiled and said: "Brother Jiang, it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

Jiang Yi was not verbose, nodded and said, "I heard that you don't participate in the Xingtan Seminar?" Heading straight to Luoyang? ”
