The Jagged Cavalry of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 42 042 Meeting Chen Qun
Zhang Yan's majestic and majestic appearance gave the young man a great shock, so that a trace of panic and anxiety flashed in his eyes.

"Pengcheng Prime Minister and Martial Guard Captain Zhang Yan, I have heard Mr. Chen Qun's name for a long time, and I am here to pay my respects!" Zhang Yan immediately cupped his fists and said sonorously.

The people inside the door looked at Zhang Yan carefully, but they saw that Zhang Yan was eight feet long, with sword eyebrows and star eyes, his handsome face was as cold as cast iron, and under the bushy eyebrows was a pair of sharp eyes like eagles. There is a compelling aura of looking down on the world.

Zhang Yan's name has already spread throughout Xuzhou, and everyone knows it.The people standing inside the door had heard about it, but never imagined that the famous Zhang Yan would suddenly appear in front of his house.

The person inside the door unlatched the door, opened the door, bowed respectfully to Zhang Yan, cupped his fists and said, "My lord has come from a long way, and my lord has come a long way to welcome me, please forgive my sin!"

Changwen is written by Chen Qun.Zhang Yan is familiar with the Three Kingdoms, so he is no stranger to Chen Qun. This person was a famous statesman during the Three Kingdoms period, an important minister of Cao Wei, and the main official of the official selection system of the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties "Nine Grades Zhongzheng System" and Cao Wei's law "Wei Law". founder.

This person served in the three dynasties of Cao Cao, Cao Pi, and Cao Rui. With his outstanding talents in governing the world, he devoted himself to his duties and made outstanding contributions to the establishment of the ritual system and political system of the Cao Wei regime.

Such a person, if Zhang Yan doesn't try to win him over, it will be a waste of time to come here.

Zhang Yan guessed that this person was Chen Qun from the very beginning. When Chen Qun reported his family name, he immediately pretended to be surprised and said: "It turns out that Mr. is Chen Changwen. He has been admiring his name for a long time, but he has never met him. When I saw him today, he really is." It’s better to be famous than to meet.”

Chen Qun was about the same age as Zhang Yan, and even looked a year or two younger than Zhang Yan. Overall, he looked a bit refined.

Hearing Zhang Yan's praise, he hurriedly said: "It's nothing but a false name. It's not worth mentioning. My lord defeated Cao Cao's tens of thousands of troops in Pengcheng with a small force. Such an achievement is worthy of admiration. My lord, let go of the simple, If you don’t dislike it, please go to the humble house to talk about it!”

Zhang Yan nodded, followed Chen Qun and walked in, and asked someone to bring in boxes of gifts.

Seeing this, Chen Qun hurriedly asked, "My lord, what is this?"

"It's Zhang's first visit, and I don't know what my husband likes, so I just asked someone to get me a gift, a little thought, it's not a respect, I hope my husband will accept it." Zhang Yan said.

Seeing that the boxes were heavy, Chen Qun asked, "My lord, can you open the boxes and let me have a look?"

"What's wrong with that?"

Zhang Yan immediately ordered someone to open the box, and the soldiers put the box on the ground and opened the three boxes one by one.

The moment the box was opened, all the soldiers were dumbfounded, only Chen Qun was very surprised.

The boxes contained neither gold, nor silver, nor jewelry or cloth, but rolls of heavy bamboo slips, which filled three large boxes.

The soldiers were all dumbfounded. They thought that the boxes contained gold and silver, or at least some jewelry. But none of them thought that the three boxes contained books.

"These are..." Chen Qun approached the box, picked up a roll of bamboo slips, opened it to read it, and then said slowly, "Historical Records?"

Zhang Yan walked to Chen Qun's side, hehe said with a smile: "Sir, you really have good eyesight. These three boxes contain all historical records. I know that you love reading, so I collected this set of books and gave it to you. The ancients said: This is the real reason why I gave the history book to Mr.

After hearing this, Chen Qun squirmed his lips gently, and silently recited the words "Take copper as a mirror, you can straighten your clothes; take the past as a mirror, you can know the rise and fall; After a while, he asked: "Master Zhang, please forgive me for being so ignorant. I have never heard of what my lord just said. I dare to ask my lord, who is the source of such brilliant words?"

"Uh... well, I don't remember very well, anyway, it was said by an ancient..." It's not that Zhang Yan doesn't know who said this sentence, but that the person who said this sentence is Tang Taizong Li Shimin, Judging from the current age, Li Shimin will not be born until several hundred years later.

At first, Chen Qun thought that what Zhang Yan sent was gold, silver and jewelry, so he asked people to open the box. If it was really money or something, he was going to reject it.But when he saw that there were books in the box, he felt at ease.

He bowed to Zhang Yan: "Changwen is very grateful for the gift of the book. This gift is too precious for Changwen. Changwen is very grateful."

Zhang Yan said with a chuckle: "Mr. Chen doesn't have to be so polite, I came to see Mr. Chen today, actually I have something to ask..."

"My lord gave me such a generous gift, if you have anything to do, just tell me, as long as it is within my ability, I will spare no effort to help you."

"Hehe, Mr. Chen is really quick-talking and straightforward enough. Then I won't just beat around the bush. In fact, I came to see Mr. Chen this time because I want to ask Mr. Chen to be my supervisor!"

After Chen Qun heard this, the smile on his face gradually disappeared, and what was replaced by a look of sadness.He first sighed softly, and then said: "My lord's kindness, Changwen appreciates it, but Changwen has no plans to become an official at this stage, please forgive me."

Chen Qun is a man of great talent. His talent is not reflected in military affairs, but in governance, governing localities, states and counties, and even the entire country. This is his real strength.

Otherwise, Chen Qun would not have left the strongest mark in Cao Wei's history.

Chen Qun's ancestral home was Yingchuan. His grandfather Chen Shi was a well-known Confucian in the Eastern Han Dynasty. His father Chen Ji and uncle Chen Chen were also well-known scholars in China.The whole family has been a great official, and they are also aristocratic families in Yingchuan, and they are even more scholarly.

However, due to the war, Chen Qun's family had to leave their hometown, and then came to Xuzhou. It happened that the area around Xiapi was relatively stable, so they lived in Xiapi City.

Later, when Tao Qian heard that Chen Qun was in Xiapi, he sent someone to invite him with gold and silver, and Chen Qun politely declined.

This time, facing Zhang Yan's request, Chen Qun didn't even think about it, and flatly refused.

Seeing that Chen Qun resolutely rejected his invitation, Zhang Yan also expected it, he laughed and said: "Mr.'s refusal is within my expectation. It seems that Mr. has such great ambitions and talents as Wang Zuozhi. How could you condescend to become a small bookkeeper under my account..."

Chen Qun interrupted Zhang Yan's words: "The reason I reject my lord is not because I dislike the lowly official position, but because at this stage, I don't want to be an official at all. Changwen is young and has a lot to learn. If I become an official rashly, I'm afraid To cause unnecessary trouble for adults. Instead of doing that, it is better to stay at home and study honestly, and I will not consider the issue of becoming an official until I think I have enough ability."

What Chen Qun said made Zhang Yan speechless, and he was speechless.

After a moment of silence, Chen Qun suddenly broke the silence and said, "I will read and collect the books that your lord gave me as a gift. If your lord has nothing to do, please go back!"

This is a eviction order, a naked eviction order.

Zhang Yan got ashes from his nose, came here in high spirits, but came back disappointed, he was unwilling, but there was nothing he could do.

The ancient scholars were like this, with a bad temper all over their bodies, but they also pretended to be high-minded.

Zhang Yan thought for a moment, came up with a provocative method, and prepared to make a final fight. He said loudly: "Mr. Chen, the reason why you refused to become an official is just your perfunctory words. In fact, in your heart, you have long been I want to become an official, but you come from a rich family, if you become an official, if you don’t do well, you will definitely be ridiculed by the world. In my opinion, it’s not that you don’t have that ability, but you are afraid of becoming an official, right?”

"Master Zhang, don't use aggressive methods to provoke me anymore. I have already told you very clearly that I will not become an official. Even if you wear out your mouth, it will be useless. I still have this attitude." Chen Qun resolutely the way.

Seeing this, Zhang Yan frowned. Seeing Chen Qun's resolute attitude, he probably had nothing to do.But he is in urgent need of talents, especially talents like Chen Qun. If he can't seize this fleeting opportunity, he will definitely regret it for the rest of his life.

He paced back and forth anxiously in the yard, and inadvertently turned his head to look at the main room, but seeing Chen Qun's family hiding at the door and watching, he suddenly had an idea and came up with a plan.

He purposely sighed heavily to show his helplessness, and said to Chen Qun: "Since this is the case, then I will not force you. Take care, Mr. Zhang, and I will leave now!"

As soon as the words fell, Zhang Yan took people away from Chen Qun's house, but he didn't go far. Instead, he asked people to stay there and closely monitor Chen Qun's house.

Seeing that Zhang Yan had left, Chen Qun hurriedly closed the door, and his heart was in a state of turmoil. He was very worried about the scene where he and Zhang Yan were at war just now, and he was afraid that Zhang Yan would be pissed off. .

He let out a sigh of relief, looking at the historical records of the three big boxes, but felt somewhat lost in his heart.

Chen Qun walked into the main room and saw his father Chen Ji sitting on the futon in the center, and asked slowly: "Father, what do you think of Zhang Yan?"

"Although I haven't seen him face to face, the tone and depth of his words are enough to prove that this person is not a reckless man. Moreover, the way he treats the corporal is a bit special... If it wasn't for my inconvenient legs, I would I really want to see you. It's a pity that you didn't let him come in for a while, otherwise, father can also observe carefully from the side..."

"Next time, next time my son must invite him into the house and let his father get to know him." Chen Qun said.

"Changwen, I'm afraid my legs won't get better in a while. Don't delay your career because of me. You have offended everyone by refusing to become an official many times. I'm worried..."

"Father, there is nothing to worry about. The child knows what he is doing. If my father's legs are bad, I will not be an official!" Chen Qun said resolutely.
