The Nameless of the Common Clans

Chapter 397 Resignation

"No need! Just one Heizi is enough, just give this paparazzi to someone else!" In Chen's mother's courtyard, Chen's mother rarely got angry with Chen Mo.

Although Chen Mo is now a dominant force, he still dares not talk back to his angry mother, and comes out of the room with the paparazzi in his arms.

This...

Chen Mo sighed and looked at the little black dog in his arms. This is a fine dog that Tang Yuan and his friends brought from Qingzhou. It is rare that the fur color is the same as Heizi.

"Husband, what happened?" Cai Yan was coming to see Chen's mother, and saw Chen Mo, who was a little dusty, and asked with a smile.

"Heizi is old, and he probably won't live long. I'm afraid that my mother will be sad, so I asked someone to find a dog that looks exactly like Heizi when he was a child for my mother. If Heizi dies one day, my mother won't be too sad." Chen Mo looked at the little black dog in his arms and sighed.

"Woof~" Heizi came to Chen Mo's feet, rubbed his robe, and looked at the paparazzi in Chen Mo's arms with some curiosity.

"There are no two exactly alike people in this world, and naturally there are no two exactly alike dogs." Cai Yan squatted down, touched Heizi's head and said, "My husband has been away from home for many years, so it is probably difficult for him to understand the feeling of his mother. It is not possible to replace someone just because they look like each other. Although it is a bit disrespectful to say this, if there is a person who looks exactly like your mother to replace her, will your husband accept it?"

"Of course not. How can the grace of giving birth be determined by appearance?" Chen Mo shook his head, looked down at Heizi, squatted down, and touched Heizi's head: "Madam, what you said is very true. Speaking of it, I was just a child and wanted a dog back then, but later, it was my mother who took care of it most of the time. It is not an exaggeration to say that it depends on its mother for life."

Having said that, it is just a dog after all.

Heizi licked the black dog in Chen Mo's hand. Chen Mo let go, and the little black dog ran to Heizi and rubbed against him intimately.

"Not to mention mother, even if someone looks the same as Madam, they can't replace Madam." Chen Mo stretched out his hand, pulled Cai Yan up and smiled.

"My husband's words are always pleasing to others." Cai Yan chuckled.

"Sincerely." Chen Mo stretched out his hand and embraced his wife in his arms. Seeing that Heizi and the little black dog got along well, he left the little black dog here. It was Heizi who wanted to stay, not him.

"I still have to pay my respects to my mother." Cai Yan was hugged by Chen Mo like this. Although the maids and servants around her looked away, she was still a little shy and hurriedly broke free.

"I will go to Luoyang in a few days. Pack up the things that need to be packed at home and have someone send them to Luoyang." Chen Mo nodded. Recently, he was busy with the relocation of the capital. Many people in the court opposed it. As for the reason, it was not important to these people. Anyway, as long as Chen Mo decided, it was right to oppose it. But their opposition could not decide anything. Chen Mo discussed with the court officials only out of respect. It was useless to oppose the things that his general's mansion had already decided.

"Well, my husband's official business is important. Don't delay it because of trivial matters at home." Cai Yan nodded and advised softly.

"I understand." Chen Mo nodded and said goodbye to Cai Yan and left. The relocation of the capital had been handled by Li Ru in the early stage. As for what the early stage was, it was to create momentum, just like Dong Zhuo moved the capital because of nursery rhymes. Now that the capital is moved back, there must be a seemingly legitimate reason to announce to the world why the capital is to be moved, and at the same time let everyone accept it from public opinion.

After these things are done, the specific relocation of the capital will begin. Luoyang needs to be sorted out. Although there are some people now, it cannot be compared with the prosperity of the past. In addition, the place for court officials to discuss matters is determined, but the palace can only enter the Jiade Hall where court officials discuss matters. Others are not allowed, and Chen Mo cannot enter without permission. On these issues of etiquette, Chen Mo has always been very careful about the degree and try not to give people gossip.

In short, there are a lot of things. There are usually only two idle people in Chen Mo's office, one Chen Mo and one Jia Xu. Chen Mo will at least check, but Jia Xu is tasting wine, reading books, and chatting most of the time. He will speak out when he needs to or when he has some different opinions. Usually, Jia Xu basically walks back and forth between his home and the office. Even if he is on duty in the court, basically no one will notice him in the court.

"My lord, Huangfu Jianshou wants to see you." Dian Wei came to Chen Mo and bowed.

"Oh?" Chen Mo nodded: "Please come in quickly."

Huangfu Jianshou is the son of Huangfu Song and a major member of the Huangfu family.

Soon, Huangfu Jianshou came in and bowed to Chen Mo, saying, "This subordinate pays respect to the Marquis of Changling."

"Brother Jianshou, please get up quickly!" Chen Mo stood up and helped him up, saying with a smile, "No need for so many empty formalities here."

"Etiquette cannot be abolished." Huangfu Jianshou shook his head, and only stood up after the bow, and sat down at Chen Mo's invitation.

"Brother Jianshou, did you come here to move the capital?" Chen Mo looked at Huangfu Jianshou and asked with a smile.

"I also think that Xiliang has been settled, and the matter of moving the capital is indeed feasible, but now the people are quite worried that the people's livelihood in Guanzhong will be in chaos after the Marquis of Changling leaves like this?" Huangfu Jianshou shook his head and said.

No matter what, Chen Mo's arrival did bring great changes to the people in Guanzhong, and the people also supported Chen Mo. Now that Chen Mo is leaving, even if Chen Mo has conveyed in various ways in public opinion that Guanzhong is still Chen Mo's place of governance, and even compared Bingzhou and Heluo, this worry is still there.

After all, the people of Guanzhong are afraid of war. When Chang'an was in chaos, the people's livelihood in Guanzhong almost collapsed completely. It was Chen Mo who restored Guanzhong's production little by little in the past few years and brought many changes to the people.

Like new plows, manure, grafting and various water conservancy projects, they were promoted and developed step by step in Chen Mo's hands. Today, the people of Guanzhong, although not saying how rich they are, at least don't have to worry about two meals a day. There is some surplus food at home, and they can eat something good during festivals. In addition, the promotion of fireplaces has also made fewer people in northern Guanzhong and Bingzhou freeze to death in recent years.

In addition to Chen Mo's various guidance of public opinion, in Guanzhong today, even if the noble families join hands, it is difficult to shake Chen Mo's position, but because of this, the people of Guanzhong have a great sense of dependence on Chen Mo. Now that Chen Mo is going to move the capital to Luoyang, the people are naturally worried that their current life will not last long.

"Xiliang has been settled, and the Qiang threat has been temporarily stopped. How can there be chaos?" Chen Mo shook his head and smiled when he heard this: "I am naturally grateful for the people's kindness, but this matter of moving the capital is related to the fate of our Han Dynasty, and it is imperative."

The capital must be moved. Now Chen Mo's strategic focus has moved eastward. Unless something big happens, Chen Mo will definitely not come back.

"Of course." Huangfu Jianshou only mentioned it briefly, and did not dwell on it. He hesitated and said: "To be honest, this subordinate came here to resign from Changling Hou on behalf of my father."

"Why is this!?" Chen Mo frowned when he heard this. Huangfu Song wanted to play this trick on him at this time. Resigning from office?

"Don't blame Changling Hou. My father's health has been bedridden since last year. This time, I'm afraid that my father's body will not be able to bear the hardship of traveling." Huangfu Jianshou said hurriedly.

"I have wanted to visit the Taiwei for a long time because of his illness, but I was on the expedition to Xiliang before and didn't have time to visit him." Chen Mo nodded when he heard this, but his brows were deeply furrowed. If this was true, once the Taiwei's position was gone, it would be difficult to choose a suitable person to replace him in a hurry.

The three dukes and nine ministers were the foundation for Chen Mo to establish his court. Now that the Taiwei was gone, the vacant position might be taken by Cao Cao.

"My father was not dissatisfied with this, after all, state affairs are more important." Huangfu Jianshou bowed.

"No matter what, I should visit him for emotional and rational reasons." Chen Mo stood up, asked someone to prepare a visiting card and handed it to Huangfu Jianshou, smiling: "If it is convenient, I will go to your house to visit the old Taiwei tomorrow."

"Changling Hou is very kind, Jianshou thanks Changling Hou on behalf of my father." Huangfu Jianshou took the visiting card handed over by Chen Mo with both hands and bowed to thank him.

"The old general has served the court for his entire life. I have always admired him. How can I ignore him now that he is seriously ill?" Chen Mo said with a smile.

"In that case, I will take my leave." Huangfu Jianshou bowed.

"Go." Chen Mo nodded and sent Huangfu Jianshou to the gate. Only after Huangfu Jianshou left did Chen Mo look at Dian Wei and said, "Immediately send someone to Hongnong and be sure to invite Mr. Wenxian to Luoyang."

Wenxian is Yang Biao's courtesy name. Chen Mo had just thought of a number of candidates who were suitable for the post of the Three Dukes. In terms of reputation, Yang Biao was obviously the most suitable one among the people Chen Mo could find. The Yang family, including Yang Biao, also had three dukes for four generations. Yang Biao had served as Sikong during the reigns of Li Jue and Guo Si, and later changed to Taichang.

After that, Chen Mo entered Guanzhong. During the war, Yang Biao returned to Hongnong. Although Chen Mo had invited him before, Yang Biao caught a cold. After that, the candidates for the three dukes and nine ministers were all selected, so Chen Mo did not invite Yang Biao to come out again.

But now, Huangfu Song is seriously ill, and the first person Chen Mo thinks of to take over the position of Taiwei is Yang Biao. After all, Yang Biao's ancestors for three generations were appointed as Taiwei. If he takes over the position of Taiwei, Cao Cao may not be able to dismiss him.

"Yes!" Dian Wei agreed and turned to pass the order.

"My lord, Cao Cao set up the government in Juancheng before to show goodwill to Yuan Shao. Now that Xuzhou has been moved, the government will be moved to Suiyang. Obviously, he has the intention to draw a clear line with Yuan Shao." Jia Xu came behind Chen Mo with a wine cup, looked at the sprouting willow branches outside, and smiled: "Maybe we can take this opportunity to make Yuan Shao dissatisfied with Cao Cao."

"Now that the three-legged tripod has been formed, Cao Cao may not fall into the trap." Chen Mo shook his head.

"But Yuan Shao may not be." Jia Xu said with a smile: "Among the three, in my opinion, Yuan Shao is the most crude, right?"

Chen Mo looked at Jia Xu in surprise, nodded and smiled: "Indeed, Wenhe is still very thorough."

"It's just an occasional gain, not worth mentioning." Jia Xu shook his head modestly. Regardless of whether Chen Mo believed it or not, he just said it casually because he suddenly remembered it.
