At the end of June, Chen Deng arrived in Xu County.

The decree to appoint Chen Deng as the prefect of Yingchuan, calling him to take office in Yingchuan, was sent to him as early as last month. Government affairs need to be handed over - the successor Langya prefect is Chen Jiao, who was the former magistrate of Tan County. Then, in the first ten days of this month, he fell ill again, and the diarrhea continued for three or four days. After that, I had to rest for a few more days. It was only in the middle of this month that I left Langya and came to Yingchuan, so I didn't arrive until this time.

The weather was very hot, there were no clouds, and there was not a shred of wind. The road was so scorched by the scorching sun that it was almost reflective, and the leaves of the trees didn't even move, as if they were still. The sound of cicadas resounds far and near. On such a midsummer day, if you just sit still, you will sweat profusely. If there is nothing to do, I am afraid that no one will want to go out.

Not for anything else, but to welcome Chen Deng.

Going east for seven or eight miles, on the official road, there was a team of nearly a hundred people on the way, heading towards this side.

At the front of the line is a chariot with a black-robed scribe with a sword standing on it. Behind the chariot are more than ten knights with spears, and at the back of the chariot is a chariot with ornate carvings. People follow each other on foot, and there are several cars of various colors in between.

These dozens of people who follow each other, there are men and women, are all dressed as slaves.

Yu Jin galloped back and told Xun Zhen, "Ming Gong, there is Chen Taishou's chariot in front."

Xun Zhen did not take the carriage, but when he came on horseback, he got off the horse and asked Yu Jin to come over and ask Chen Deng to come over to meet him. When he reached the road, he found a big tree with dense branches and leaves and waited under the tree. Although it was covered by the shade of trees, it was still cold. Her face was warmed by the sun, and sweat dripped down her temples. Xun Zhen took the towel handed by Dian Wei, wiped her sweat, and looked at the one on the road. Chen Deng's driving team.

Seeing that the ban was approaching, the scribes on the bus quickly signaled the team to stop and move forward. After a while, one person got off the carriage. Although there was still some distance apart, it was difficult to see the person's appearance, but from the figure and walking posture, Xun Zhen could tell that this person was Chen Deng.

Chen Deng followed Yu Jin and walked towards Xun Zhen's place.

Xun Zhen stopped waiting under the tree, threw the towel to Dian Wei, and stepped forward to meet him.

The two met on the roadside.

Chen Deng bowed and saluted, and said, "It's so hot, why did Duke Ming come out to pick up Deng? This is really flattering for Deng, and he doesn't dare to be!"

Compared with before, the relative status of Xun Zhen and Chen Deng is the same. Xun Zhen is still Chen Deng's "lord", but there are differences. Xun Zhen is not only Chen Deng's lord, but he is still a chariot in the middle of the court. Cavalry generals, Lu Shangshu affairs, the power and position are more important than in the past, so Xun Zhen personally came to meet Chen Deng, which really flattered him.

A stench of sweat came from his nostrils, the horse was hot, and the car was closed and even hotter. It was conceivable that Chen Deng had to walk the eight or nine hundred miles from Langya to Xuxian. Xun Zhen smiled and said: "It's a hot day, I changed you from Langya to Ren Yingchuan, and I have tossed you a lot. I feel bad about it, how can I not welcome you in person?"

Chen Deng laughed and said: "Langya is just an ordinary county, Yingchuan has long been a famous county in China, and now it is the seat of the imperial capital. Duke Ming does not look down upon the people who are high-ranking people, and his virtues are weak and fresh. Deng's appointment as the prefect of Yingchuan is a great move for Deng! What's the trouble? After receiving the edict, Deng only hoped that he could take office as soon as possible, but the handover of official duties was delayed for a while, and then he fell ill again One, so I didn't arrive in Xu County until today. Shang Qigong Minggong's forgiveness.”

Xun Zhen smiled and said: "Yuanlong, I haven't seen you for more than half a year. Your temper has not changed at all, your words and deeds are still full of arrogance, and you are worthy of the praise of people from the lake and the sea." He asked Chen Deng with concern, and said, "You are suffering from the disease at the beginning of the month. I heard about the illness, how is it? Is it serious?"

Chen Deng felt lingering fears, shook his head, and said, "I regret not obeying the orders of Duke Ming, gluttonous eating fish, causing diarrhea in the beginning of the month."

"Is it because you are greedy for fish?"

Chen Deng replied: "In reply to Duke Ming's words, when Deng fell ill, it happened that Hua Tuo was in the county, and the meritorious officer in Deng's mansion had an old friend with him, so he invited him to treat Deng. Hua Tuo said that my illness was because of I ate too much fish meat, and the solar eclipse is too much, so it is a problem." Pointing to his stomach, he smiled, "Hua Tuo and Deng said that although the fish meat is delicious, there are quite a few bugs, and Deng eats too much food every day. so many worms gather in the belly

Induce diarrhea. Like Duke Ming, he also told Deng that he should eat less fish paste after Deng, and it is better to eat in moderation. "

Xun Zhen complained and said: "I will tell you that you should not eat more fish. 'Too much is too much', what this master taught is to do everything properly and in moderation. Yuanlong, you are yang and yin, and you don't listen to me. You were sick at the beginning of the month. Hua Tuo, a famous doctor, said the same to you. After seeing you, he will not listen to me."

Chen Deng raised his eyebrows and said with arrogance, "Hua Tuo told me that if I don't want to change it, I'm only afraid that the next time I get sick again, it will be more serious than this time, and it will be serious to a certain extent. The medicine stone is ineffective, and I will die. Today, Duke Ming has welcomed the sage and the imperial court to move the capital to Xu. It is time for Duke to help Duke Ming and show his skills to realize his ambition! In order to make his ambitions come true, this life is now It's better to keep it first, Hua Tuo's words and Ming Gong's orders should be respectfully obeyed after they are posted.”

Xun Zhen laughed loudly, and after listening to Chen Deng's words, he let go of the knot in his heart that Chen Deng was eating fish.

After talking to Chen Deng again, and asking him about the hard work on the road, Xun Zhen asked, "Yuanlong, I have heard the name of Hua Tuo for a long time, and I have sent people to see him several times before. But I haven't been able to see him. Since he traveled to Langya and cured you, why didn't you invite him to Yingchuan?"

Chen Deng snorted and said, "Ming Gong, fortunately you have never met Hua Tuo before."

Xun Zhen was puzzled and asked, "Yuanlong, what do you mean by that?"

Chen Deng said: "This Hua Tuo has a really weird temper. This time he sees a doctor for me. To tell the truth, I have suffered a lot from his idleness. If it wasn't for other doctors who didn't work, I wouldn't let him. He showed it."

Xun Zhen said, "Have you suffered a lot of his slack?"

Chen Deng said angrily: "If you don't want to, give me a slap in the face. Duke Ming, it's not for me to hold him carefully, offer him up, and ignore him. I know his temperament and tell me in private that he Therefore, this kind of temperament is due to the fact that he is a Confucian student and wants to seek fame and fame through his business, but he fails to achieve fame and fame. Instead, he has to practice medicine to make a living, so he harbors resentment for a long time, because no matter who he treats, he is rude, especially He doesn't even want to see an early noble like Deng!... Duke Ming asked Deng why he didn't invite him to Yingchuan. Duke Ming, Deng actually had the same idea, after knowing the reason for his bad attitude towards Deng , Deng emphasized his medical skills, and also thought that if he could be recruited as Duke Ming, he would be useful to Duke Ming, so he told him that Deng had already obtained the imperial decree and changed me to be the prefect of Yingchuan. , I can bring him to Yingchuan and recommend it to Duke Ming as Cao Ye. But Duke Ming, guess what he said?"

Xun Zhen asked, "What did he say?"

Chen Deng spread his hands and said, "I didn't say a word! I walked away that day, and before I left, I didn't even say a word to Deng."

Xun Zhen thought for a while, and roughly guessed why Hua Tuo did this, and said to Chen Deng: "Yuanlong, Hua Tuo's reputation is far and wide, I'm afraid he has a high self-esteem, and he has long harbored the resentment of the pearl. But you only promised him with Cao Ye, I was afraid that he thought you underestimated him, so he left without saying goodbye."

"So, is it Deng's fault?"

Xun Zhen smiled and said, "People's nature is different, and I can't say it's your fault."

Chen Deng said, "So Duke Ming, Deng failed to bring him to Duke Ming in Yingchuan."

Xun Zhen said: "Well, his two disciples are both officials in our military mansion. I think there will be a chance sooner or later, and I can meet him."

After talking for so long, Xun Zhen and Chen Deng's clothes were soaked with sweat.

Xun Zhen tugged at the collar that was close to the back of her neck and said, "Yuanlong, I'm so happy to see you, I just talk to you, but let you stay in the sun for so long. You go back to the car first. , we'll talk when we get to my house."

Chen Deng complied with his promise and first respectfully sent Xun Zhen to his horse, waiting for Xun Zhen to get on the horse before returning to his carriage.

There were two pretty maids in the car.

After getting into the car, Chen Deng spread his arms, and the two maids skillfully took off his inner and outer clothes. Chen Deng put on a pair of trousers, shirtless, and half-lyed on the seat. The maid knelt on the side of the seat, fanned him to get some wind, and sometimes wiped the sweat from his forehead and body with a silk towel dipped in cold water. ——During the journey from Langya to Xuxian, Chen Deng dressed like this in the car.

When building a residential area for Liu Xiehe and all the officials in the court, Chen Yi certainly did not forget Xun Zhen, and also built a house for Xun Zhen, and the house built for Xun Zhen is not small, occupying a small half of the li area.

Xun Zhen brought Chen Deng and his party back home.

Yu Jin greeted the servants and led Chen Deng's entourage to rest. The scribe on the chariot was not Chen Deng's official in Langya County, but a member of his clan. The dozen or so knights were. Chen Deng raised the strong men, and the rest were slaves that Chen Deng brought from his family.

Xun Zhen and Chen Deng came to the hall.

There are ice cubes in the four corners of the hall, which is much cooler than the outside.

When the maid offered ice cream, tea, and snacks, Xun Zhen was about to talk to Chen Deng when Dian Wei came to report, but several people came to ask for an interview.

These people came to the hall, met Xun Zhen, and met with Chen Deng.

These people are Xi Zhicai, Xun Yu, Chen Qun, Guo Jia, Cheng Jia and so on.

When Xun Zhen was attacking the thief Qin Wang, Xun Yu and Chen Qun were left in the military mansion in Changyi and assumed the responsibility of staying behind. Liu Xie drove to Xu County, and after Xun Yu and others were appointed as ministers and other officials in the court, they came to Xu County from Changyi, more than half a month before Chen Deng.

[To tell the truth, recently I have been using Mimi to read and read books to keep up with updates, switch sources, and read aloud tones, which can be used by Android and Apple. 】

Among the few people, Xi Zhicai was worshipped as a servant, with the highest rank, more than two thousand stone; Xun Yu was worshipped as Cao Shangshu, a post that Jia Xu once held when Li Jue and Guo Si were in power. Election of Zhaisi, equivalent to the minister of officials in later generations, has great power; Chen Qun was appointed as a servant of the imperial censor, this is the official of the imperial censor, and he was in charge of inspecting and judging illegal activities; Guo Jia was appointed as a regular servant of the Sanqi. This is actually an added official, without any real power, but able to participate in political affairs; Cheng Jia was appointed as an official under the Sili Xiaowei.

Everyone is a new official, and the spirit is very good.

After seeing each other, they took their seats.

The maid also brought ice cream and other items to Xi Zhicai and others.

Guo Jia was greedy for the cold, took the ice cream in his hand, and ate it.

Xi Zhicai raised the feather fan in his hand, clicked Guo Jia from afar, and said with a smile: "Yuanlong finally arrived, Fang Yu listened to his eloquent talk, Feng Xiao, why did you eat it?"

Guo Jia smiled and said, "I don't know why, the ice cream in Duke Ming's house is completely different from the one in my house. It's delicious." Asked Xun Zhen, he said, "But I don't know if Duke Ming added any secret ingredients?"

There really is a secret ingredient in this ice cream, which Xun Zhen added to it based on his experience in his previous life.

Xun Zhen smiled and said, "If you like it, when you leave later~www.mtlnovel.com~ I will ask the pantry to copy this secret ingredient for you."

Guo Jiada was delighted to thank him.

Xun Zhen, talking about Xi Zhicai, said to Chen Deng: "Yuanlong, Zhicai said it well, although now the emperor has come to Yingchuan, the situation at home is still the same, and there has been no change because of this. On the contrary, I was never abandoned by the court, and I was entrusted by the emperor. I was appointed a high-ranking position such as a general of chariots and cavalry, and a book of records. However, I took on more responsibilities than before. What should I do next? At this point, I don't feel hesitant. You are a man of great vision, you must teach me, and I am all ears."

Chen Deng also thought that the ice cream in Xun Zhen's house was delicious, so he took a few bites, put down the pottery bowl, picked up a hand towel, wiped his mouth, smiled at Xun Zhen, and said, "What should I do next, what should Duke Ming do? Maybe there is no decision? Ming Gong must have a decision. If you want to ask me, I will take the liberty to submit it. "

Xun Zhen said, "Please tell me."

Chen Deng said succinctly and comprehensively, "First settle the imperial court, and then discuss dissatisfaction."

Xun Zhen said, "It is a natural principle to first secure the imperial court, but this is not accepted. What is the specific strategy?"

Chen Neng replied: "In reply to Duke Ming's words, the specific strategy is still eight characters."

Xun Zhen asked, "Which eight characters?"

Chen Deng said: "We will discuss Yuan Shu first, and then attack Yuan Shao. Those who are separated from the sea today and do not belong to the court, these two Yuan are the main ones. As long as we deal with the two first, the rest of the generation will be summoned or dealt with slowly. It's settled."

Xun Zhen and Xi Zhicai, Xun Yu, Guo Jia and others looked at each other, stroked their short mustaches and smiled, and said, "Yuanlong's view is the same as mine."

Chen Deng said with a smile, "I mean that it is impossible for the Duke to have no decision! Since Duke Ming already thinks so, then Deng dares to ask Duke Ming when he wants to discuss Yuan Shu?"
