Shredded footsteps sounded, and along with the elegant fragrance, one person came to Xun Zhen's side.

Xun Zhen didn't need to turn her face to look at it, she could tell from the scent alone that the person who came was Chen Zhi. ——Not long after Xun Zhen welcomed Liu Xie to Xu County, she picked up Chen Zhi and other women.

Sure enough, Chen Zhi's voice sounded, and she asked softly, "Husband, what are you doing?"

Xun Zhen replied, "I am enjoying the shade."

Chen Zhi laughed and said, "But I don't know if your husband is enjoying the shade or getting warm?"

Although it was evening, it was still very hot, and it was a lie to enjoy the cool air.

Chen Zhi paused for a while, and then said, "I heard my husband, you seemed to be talking about 'solar eclipse' just now. Husband, did the cheap concubine hear it wrong?"

Chen Zhi heard it right. When Xun Zhen looked up at the sky with her hands behind her back, she was indeed muttering the word "eclipse" to herself.

Yesterday Cheng Jia told him that Yang Biao was now conspiring with ministers and plotting against him.

When sending Chen Deng to Yingchuan today, before leaving, Chen Deng solemnly mentioned this matter to Xun Zhen, reminding Xun Zhen that this must not be taken lightly. Although it makes sense not to be too hasty, it should be done as soon as possible. Get rid of this hassle as well.

Xun Zhen was thinking about this just now.

According to the theory of the induction of heaven and man, as long as there is a natural disaster, it means that the emperor's virtue or political measures are at fault, but the emperor is the supreme, and he cannot punish the emperor for this. What should we do? According to the story of this dynasty, usually after a natural disaster, one of the incumbent San Gong is removed, and another person is replaced, which is equivalent to letting the dismissed San Gong replace the emperor to apologize to God. In modern times, in addition to man-made calamities, there are also frequent natural calamities in the chaos of the Han Dynasty. In the past few years, when the disasters were the most frequent, there were even several in a few months. . If there is a solar eclipse at this time, for Xun Zhen, of course, it is a good excuse to ask Liu Xie to remove Yang Biao. - Disasters such as earthquakes and floods may cause a lot of losses to the people, and some people may also die because of this. Therefore, Xun Zhen did not want disasters such as earthquakes and floods to appear. In this way, the best excuse for him to dismiss Yang Biao is naturally a solar eclipse, or a comet or something.

Xun Zhen's thought was related to the current Taiwei Yang Biao, so she couldn't talk to Chen Zhi, so she didn't answer Chen Zhi's words, she touched her short beard, looked at her, changed the subject, and said with a smile, "Young Master, It has been more than a month since I arrived in Xu County. I have been busy and have no time to spare, but I have not invited your relatives to dinner until now. I feel deeply ashamed of you. Otherwise, I will take a rest the day after tomorrow. , you sent people to the city these two days to invite your close relatives, and the day after tomorrow, I will set up a banquet and set up wine to invite their guests, how about it?"

Chen Zhi's family is in Xu County, and Xu County is her hometown. Many of her clansmen and relatives are in Xu County, but since arriving in Xu County, Xun Zhen has only met a few young people of high morality in her family. Some of them have not been seen before, even Chen Zhi, who has only been hit by the Hui people once in total.

Chen Zhi smiled slightly and said, "Husband, you don't even invite close relatives of your own clan, let alone a lowly concubine? A lowly concubine knows that her husband is selfless and has nothing to be ashamed of, and she has no complaints against her husband."

Xun Zhen said sternly: "My clan's close relatives are my clan close relatives, and your clan close relatives are your clan close relatives. These are two different things."

Chen Zhi said: "Husband knows that now, people say that you are as clear as water! Some people say, husband, you avoid suspicion to such an extent, is it a bit too much?"

Xun Zhen asked, "Who is this?

Talk about me like that? "

Chen Zhi said, "Who else could they be? Of course, those people who came to beg to see their husband but couldn't meet them."

Xun Zhen sighed and said, "These people don't understand me. Young Master, you should understand me!"

"Do you know what husband?"

Xun Zhen said: "I don't know how cold it is at a high place? Today, I have been worshipped by the court as a general of chariots and cavalry, a bookkeeper of records, and a commander in chief. Which of the three positions is not a high and powerful one? Weight, so I can now be said to be the attention of the saints, the attention of all officials, and the attention of the people at home and abroad. My every move is in the eyes of others. If I make a mistake, someone will use it as a lever to attack me; and If I am not careful in my words and deeds, and I am as clean as water, then the officials below will probably become bribery and nepotism! I have to give them a good lead. Young master. Being a husband today is certainly expensive, but if I I'm complacent because of that. Today's preciousness is nothing but a mirror, and it can't last for a long time. Sitting and watching his building rise, sitting and watching his building collapse, I'm really walking on thin ice now.”

The higher the status, the more things to consider.

As Xun Zhen said, in terms of real power, he is now the number one courtier, below one person and above ten thousand people. His every move is indeed seen by others. The wrong place will not only become the handle of his political opponents, but also, as he said, if he practices favoritism, the officials below will go even further.

——Especially like Xi Zhicai, Xun Yu, Chen Qun, Guo Jia, Cheng Jia, etc., now with Xun Zhen rising, they have all become upstarts in the court, I don't know how many people rushed to try to flatter them, and most of them People's hometown is Yingchuan, and there are many clansmen and old friends. If Xun Zhen brings bad things to them and engages in cronyism, then if they all learn from Xun Zhen, and they all accept bribes and use their old friends, what will happen to the imperial court? like? Let alone stabilize the situation of the imperial court as soon as possible, I am afraid that the imperial court will not be as good as before.

Of course, this does not mean that Xi Zhicai and others will all practice favoritism. This is just an assumption, but this assumption is not impossible. Everyone's temperament is different, Xun Yu and Chen Qun may not do this, but Cheng Jia and others may not. Cheng Jia, including Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai, were all people who did not value personal morality. Zhen Jin said, accusing Xi Zhicai, Guo Jia, Cheng Jia, etc. of some behaviors, and asking Xun Zhen to punish them, but Xun Zhen suppressed all these accusations. Although it was suppressed, the current situation was different from before, and Xun Zhen had to pay attention to it, set an example for Xi Zhicai, Guo Jia, Cheng Jia, etc.

Chen Zhi came from a noble family, and the elders in the clan were all concerned about current affairs and dealing with politics. Growing up in such an environment, she was very sensitive to politics and knew what politics was, so she actually Xun Zhen did this. Because of the reason, what Shicai said was just a joke between husband and wife. Hearing Xun Zhen's words from the bottom of her heart, she stopped talking and said with a smile: "Husband, the concubine has never heard the phrase 'the height is too cold', only know that the weather is sultry, you don't stay there Wandering around in the yard, getting dizzy in the sun again, getting heatstroke, and delaying tomorrow's value-for-money, even if it will harm the husband's intention to lead by example."

Xun Zhen replied, "Okay, okay, just listen to the lady's words!" She walked into the house, and said to Chen Zhi, "Young Master, we've settled, you will send someone to invite you in the next two days. The close relatives of the clan, the day after tomorrow I will host a banquet for them. At that time, I will invite Duke Chen and Changwen as well, and I will not stop getting drunk."

After walking a few steps, another woman's voice sounded not far away.

this woman

He asked Xun Zhen, and said, "Is your husband going to the West Court?"

Chen Yi personally supervised the work and built this house for Xun Zhen. The former was the place for meeting guests, and the latter was the residence of Xun Zhen and his wives and concubines. The residence was divided into several courtyards. The courtyard and the west courtyard are the courtyards for the Zou family.

Although Xun Zhen didn't want to go to the West Courtyard, he stopped, looked up, and found that he was really going west. He turned his head to look at the speaker.

The woman who was talking had her hair in a bun like a cloud, her eyebrows and almond eyes, fair complexion, and a tall stature, but she was a late maid.

Xun Zhen called her by her nickname and said, "A Jiao, I was looking for you."

Maid Chi raised her fan to cover her mouth, with resentment in her brows and eyes, and said leisurely, "Are you looking for a cheap concubine? Did your husband see the wrong person, or did he find the wrong person?"

This expression caught his eye, and the words caught his ear, causing Chen Zhi to pursed his lips into a smile.

Maybe it's because the freshness hasn't passed, or maybe it's because Nei Mei is too attractive. Since arriving in Xu County, every two or three nights, Xun Zhen will stay in Zou's courtyard for one night. As a newcomer, being so favored, all the maids and daughters will inevitably be a little jealous.

Xun Zhen said: "What are you talking about? I'm not yet in my 40s, and I'm in my prime, so my eyes are dim. How can I see the wrong person? How can I find the wrong person? You are the one I'm looking for."

[In other words, the best app for reading aloud and listening to books at present, Mimi Read, install the latest version. 】

Chi's maid asked: "Dare to ask your husband, what's the matter with the cheap concubine?"

Xun Zhen said: "After I brought Shaojun and you to Xu County, I could neither spare time to entertain Shaojun's clan, nor would I have time to accompany you back to your mother's house. I thought about it. , if you want to go back to your mother's house, then tomorrow, I will send someone to **** you back to Yingyin~www.mtlnovel.com~ Back to Yingyin, if you want, you can stay at your mother's house for a few days, how about that? "

After listening to Xun Zhen's words, the resentment in Chi's eyebrows slightly dissipated, and what she was waiting for was a distant thought.

It is said that the feeling of being close to the hometown is timid, and it has been a long time since I returned to my mother's house. Suddenly I heard Xun Zhen talking about taking her back to her mother's house for a look tomorrow. Besides, it is more to look forward to.

Liu Xie moved to Xuxian Road, and when he arrived at Yingyin, he told Xun Zhen that he would stop at Yingyin for a few more days in order to let Xun Zhen return home in clothes. Now, if the maid Chi returns to her mother's house, she will return home in fine clothes. The last time she went back to her mother's house, Xun Zhen was already considered expensive, but why is she today? It is conceivable that when she returns to her mother's house, how her clan, her relatives, and her villagers will welcome and flatter her. Those who had had a feud with her in the early years will now be fearful, and even more humble. Flattered to please her.

The maid Chi said: "It's rare that the husband can still think of the cheap concubine. Well, then listen to the instructions of the husband, and the cheap concubine will return to the mother's house tomorrow to see."

Xun Zhen waved to her and said, "Come here."

Chi's maid, Pingting Tingting, swayed before Xun Zhen.

Xun Zhen stretched out her hand, opened the fan, tapped her cherry mouth, and said with a smile, "I obviously want it, but I don't seem to be reluctant. You maid, you are getting better at acting."

After dinner, Xun Zhen didn't go to the west courtyard, but slept in Chi's maid's house.

In the dead of night, all sounds are silent.

There was a faint whisper from the maidservant Chi: "How is Zou's better than a cheap concubine? Will she be like this? Is she stronger than a cheap concubine?"

The murmurs were like honey, as if they couldn't be dissolved.

Five more! It's to make up for some of the previous debt. Ask for a monthly pass, ask for a recommendation!
