Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 401: Revisiting Wo Bing with thoughts of solicitation
Liu Kan, Zhang Yong, etc. were all famous celebrities in Pengcheng. They met Chen Zhi in the Wobing Tower. Chen Zhi also met Wang Kui, a bookworm from the Langya family, and Liu Gai, the Langya king, that day.

More than a year has passed. Chen Zhi is now known as a celebrity in Pengcheng, the most popular among young people, and his popularity is unparalleled. However, Liu Kan and others are still celebrities, and their reputation has neither increased nor declined much, as if It's like standing still.

In fact, such celebrities are the norm. For them, it is enough to have such a reputation in one place in this life. It would be even better if they can leave anecdotes or two to pass on to future generations.

Their fame can attract other people, making other famous people who travel here curious and come to visit, so there are often such banquets.

"In the past six months, many more famous people have come to visit us than in the same period in the past." Xu Hui glanced at Chen Zhi and said with a smile, "I can tell from the words of the visitors that they are Most of them are here because of your name, my wise nephew. I think your reputation has gradually spread from Luoyang and Qingxu to other places in the world. This is a sign that your name will go down in history!"

"Master Xu really praised me. This reputation of mine is just spread for a while. How can I have such a big influence?" Chen Zhi became humble. This name of Master Xu was Xu Hui's request.

Seeing Chen Zhi doing good deeds, Xu Hui suddenly felt happy and couldn't help but said: "You are humble, my nephew, you are humble. I know that in the northern Xinjiang where you are going, your reputation is very loud." "On the Six Kingdoms" is widely circulated among all ethnic groups in Xianbei. Speaking of which, it is really a pity that you were unable to participate in this Xingtan Forum. Apart from other things, you just wrote about "The Theory of the Six Kingdoms" on the spot. It deserves a special mention, and I don’t know how much better it is than the few articles I wrote later when I came to discuss the Tao. It’s such a pity!”

Chen Chi and the others on the side also showed regret when they heard this. Last year, there was a lot of movement in the apricot forum. Not only many people from the Central Plains, but also many tribes from the frontier came. It is very lively and has far-reaching influence. Because Xuzhou is close to Qingzhou, it has been greatly affected. From aristocratic families to people, everyone pays close attention to Taoism.

At first, Chen Zhi was invited to participate in the discussion. The Chen family was quite excited, but they did not expect that he would leave midway. Fortunately, Chen Zhi became more popular. Not only did he kill the little prince of the Huns, but also King Lu. The "Six Kingdoms Theory" at the banquet, in comparison, even the top people who discussed Taoism in Xingtan were overshadowed.

Not to mention, later there were rumors of the death of the Hun King Liu Yuan, which pushed Chen Zhi's reputation to a new peak, becoming a sage in his hometown who was talked about by the folks in Pengcheng.

In the days that followed, whenever news about him in Luoyang reached Xuzhou, especially in Pengcheng, it would arouse discussion.

Because of this, many people spontaneously came to greet Chen Zhi.

Such popularity is certainly conducive to the spread of reputation. Everyone who passes through Xuzhou will hear the name of Chen Zhi. Those who are not in a hurry will inevitably stop by to have a look.

"So, recently there have been more and more celebrities around Pengcheng. Many people come here and stay for a while. A few days ago, there was news that you were returning home, and there are many people waiting here. Still waiting."

Xu Hui stroked his beard and smiled, looking at Chen Zhi's face, he became kinder and kinder.

The more famous people in the place under his rule, the more it represents the prosperity of culture and education, which is a reflection of the merits of famous education, which of course makes him happy.

Chen Zhi knew this and said with a smile: "In that case, I have to go and experience it."

"Then I will ask someone to inform you so that they can set a specific date. Your itinerary has not been confirmed, and they have not set a date yet." Xu Hui's words showed that this so-called banquet is actually waiting for you. Chen Zhi, if he doesn't go, it will really be meaningless.

After finishing speaking, Xu Hui suddenly changed the subject: "You have been in such a busy life, go and take a break, so that you can take your family to visit your parents." His words showed the closeness between the two.

Chen Zhi nodded. He came here this time with the intention of bringing his wife to visit his parents' graves and offer incense. They have been married for a year. If he has not taken action yet, in this country that advocates filial piety, it can easily become a personal matter. stain.

So, after saying a few words, Chen Zhi walked into the city escorted by the crowd.

As Chen Zhi entered the city, the welcome ceremony ended and the crowd dispersed into the city. It was like countless pebbles falling into the calm water, causing ripples and discussions in the streets and alleys.

Many people lamented that the Chen family's fortune was about to improve, and recalled the battle when the Zhuge family's legitimate son came over. They said that just a short time later, Chen Zhi changed from the person who greeted him to the protagonist who was welcomed. Things in the world have changed. , nothing more than this.

Chen Zhi has seen too many such discussions, and the Chen family has long been used to them, so there is no need to repeat them.

But he said that after he returned home, he took his wife to meet the little sister who stayed at home. He was very happy again. Early the next morning, he went to the Chen family cemetery outside the city to pay homage to his parents, and then he went there non-stop. Worship in the ancestral hall.

Such a busy schedule was not completed until the evening, and my wife Yang You was also sweating from exhaustion.

"It's really hard on you today."

Listening to her husband's concern, Yang You shook her head with a smile and said, "This is what a concubine should do. It's a pity that I can't serve my parents-in-law. How can I care about this fatigue?" In fact, since Yang's marriage, I am more and more satisfied with my husband.

She originally thought that with Chen Zhi's talent and reputation, he should be a person with lofty aspirations and no children left behind, but after getting in touch with him, she realized that although Chen Zhi had great ambitions, he was quite kind, and he treated himself with gentleness and respect. He doesn't look like the man that other sisters said, so he is more willing to do anything.

After the couple finished their work, they went directly back to Chen Zhi's manor outside the city. His student Chen Zhi had been waiting there for a long time. When he saw Chen Zhi, he obediently came over to greet him, and even shouted at Yang in excitement. Called Master Niang.

After not seeing each other for more than a year, Chen Zhe's appearance has changed a lot, the most obvious one is his size.

Compared with a year ago, Chen Zhi was a full head taller - he was already growing taller, but after becoming Chen Zhi's name, his status and status increased. He had good food, good housing, nutrition and rest. , and then accept the orthodox teachings from aristocratic families, learn the six arts of a gentleman, and work hard on your body, you will naturally grow quickly.

However, what Chen Zhi cares more about is Chen Zhe's knowledge.

In fact, Chen Zhi owed this disciple a lot. Before he could teach him much, he embarked on a study tour. He did not return for more than a year. He only left some books and teaching materials for Chen Zhi when he left. Family supervision was arranged, but in order to learn, there was no teacher to supervise. It mainly depends on oneself, and progress is often slow.In view of this, after dinner, Chen Zhi called Chen Zhe to test his knowledge.

After the master and apprentice exchanged words for a while, Chen Zhi nodded slightly and said, "You have indeed not been idle this year, nor have you been lazy. Basically, you have learned everything you need to learn."

Hearing this, Chen Zhe immediately smiled.

Due to the change in circumstances, he was deeply aware of the rare opportunity, and with the supervision of his grandfather, he worked extra hard, thinking that he would hold his breath and be praised when the teacher came back. Now his hard work was finally not in vain.

After Chen Zhi said that, he added: "However, in order to learn, it is not enough to just read books. You must read more and walk more."

When Chen Zhi heard this, he quickly sat upright and waited for Chen Zhi's arrangements. In his heart, he really wanted to go with Chen Zhi. He knew that Chen Zhi would be the prefect, and being a disciple of the prefect must be of great benefit in the local area, right?
But Chen Zhi's words made him a little disappointed——

"In the past few days, you should talk to Chen Wu more often. He has traveled with me and travels all over the world. He is quite knowledgeable and his knowledge and attainments are advancing rapidly. He can be your friend. When the time is right, I will send someone to pick you up and stay by my side. For learning.”

Considering that Chen Zhe's foundation is weak and the time for learning is still short, there is no harm in laying more foundations. As for Chen Zhe's thoughts, Chen Zhi can more or less guess, but he still decided to test the opponent's temper.

After the master and apprentice answered each other, a servant came over to report that someone had sent an invitation.

Chen Zhi asked someone to send it, and when he took it, it was the invitation card for the dinner at the Ice House, and the time was set for tomorrow.

"These celebrities are also in a hurry. I just finished my work and came here to send the invitation. Anyway, I just happened to go to see who there is. Governor Xu is right. He went north to Daijun to serve as the prefect of the place. He is a parent official and has to govern. There are so many things in such a huge land, even if one person can handle it, he still needs to find some manpower, otherwise he will be entangled in government affairs, and don't even think about planning other things."

He thought again that Xu Hui mentioned that person.

"The little immortal Ge Hong is very famous in later generations. I have not deliberately learned about him. I also know that he is a famous figure in Taoism, and "Baopuzi" has been circulated in the world. I just don't know whether this person has the ability to serve in politics. But at least he has attainments in alchemy, and maybe he can expand on it, but then again, it’s not easy to recruit such a person.”

With Ge Hong's reputation, even if he can't handle any government affairs, simply raising it can improve his reputation, not to mention that alchemy itself involves chemistry, which can also be of great help. It's just that Chen Zhi has heard of his name in the past. Knowing is not an easy recruit.

"Forget it, let's make friends first. Xu Jun said that there is another great sage who seems to be highly praised by several celebrities. I don't know who he is."

With this idea, Chen Zhi first went to Zu Zhongzheng's house and apologized, saying that he failed to carry forward the chess records. Zu Zhongzheng shook his head and said that Chen Zhi had arranged it, and he really made mistakes in the discussion. In the limelight, if Chen Zhi went there in person, it might have overshadowed the chess record, but he didn't go and specifically asked the chess record to go, which made people pay more attention.

But it was a pity for Zu Zhongzheng that only one piece of the chess game was broken, and the rest were impregnable.

"I thought that with everyone from the alien race here, we could break the situation, but it's a pity." Zu Zhongzheng shook his head and sighed.

Chen Zhi knew clearly that if the little Hun prince was still here, he might have been able to make a few exceptions, but it was a pity that he was dead.

The two then reminisced about old times. Zu Zhongzheng was very interested in the commentaries in Luoyang. He asked repeatedly, and finally praised: "Shouyi, you have many ideas. These comments are really interesting. I can't wait to see them. I will definitely read them when I have some free time." Experience it yourself.”

Chen Zhi said with a smile: "I will also ask Zhongzheng to comment on it then."

The two smiled at each other, and finally Zu Zhongzheng asked about the matter of going north, and after knowing that it was Zhang Ying's plan, he said: "I can't help you, but I have a brother, Jiyin is the prefect, and he knows a lot about military affairs. I will explain to him that I will let you know when it is finalized so that you can write to him and ask for advice."

"I will definitely not forget it." Chen Zhi nodded, and after a while, seeing his ancestor looking tired, he left.

On the next day, Chen Zhi arrived at Wobing Tower on time.

From a distance, he saw someone waiting at the door. When he got out of the car, the person immediately came to greet him.

"Mr. Zhang, you can't do it!"

Chen Zhi quickly recognized the person who came, it was Zhang Yong, a famous scholar in Pengcheng.

This Zhang Yong had some conflicts with Chen Zhi in the past, but after realizing Chen Zhi's ability, he immediately changed his attitude and devoted himself to making friends.

"Why can't you do it? Is it because County Sheriff Chen doesn't like me anymore?" Zhang Yong pretended, and then laughed loudly, "Okay, everyone is here, and I'm waiting for you to come. Come with me quickly, and I'll give it to you." You can introduce some great sages so that you can have someone to help you when you go north!"

　Thanks to "Brother Yumo" and "mnkhfhks" for the reward!
