Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 132 Local products!

After Zu Zhongzheng took a few glances, his expression changed slightly, and before he entered the yamen, he ordered someone to invite Chen Qian.

About half an hour later, Chen Qian came over. When he arrived, he happened to see Zu Zhong looking down at the text. He did not disturb him and stood aside, waiting quietly.While waiting, I glanced at the article. As expected, it turned out to be "Shi Shuo".

Seeing this scene, Chen Qian felt quite complicated. He had already read the article "Shi Shuo" with his own eyes and was amazed. He also knew the value of this article. He was not surprised at all that the article was popular in Pengcheng, let alone a small Pengcheng. Even if it becomes popular throughout Xuzhou, it is only a matter of time.

However, he had also heard rumors about Chen Hua. As a member of the Xiapi Chen family, he had some thoughts in his mind, but in the final analysis, the disputes between the juniors would not affect his judgment.

"I'm afraid, no one will look at Chen Zhi as a junior any more soon. His reputation as a celebrity will definitely be confirmed by this "Teacher's Statement". Although Chen Hua's incident is disturbing, it has nothing to do with the overall situation. , but in order to prevent unnecessary complications, we should spread this article to our families as soon as possible, so that they can be aware of it."

When Chen Qian was thinking about it, his ancestor Zhongzheng put down the article and said with a smile: "I will tell you when I move to the south, I will wait until after the new year before giving Chen Zhi a final order. Sure enough, if it hadn't been for this decision, I wouldn't have done it again today. I quickly chased the mail post once."

"Zhongzheng is joking, you have foresight." Chen Qian cupped his hands, smiled, and gave a gentle compliment.

The "Quick Horse Chase Post" mentioned by Zu Zhongzheng is a popular rumor in Liuxian County. It tells that Chen Zhi's character statement changed several times, forcing Zhongzheng to send people to recover it. In this rumor, Zu Zhongzheng Zhongzheng was not described as a stupid person, but as a man of virtuous character. He could not bear to have his virtuous talents buried, so he recovered the letters of character one after another.

This made Zu Zhongzheng quite proud, and his impression of Chen Zhi also improved a lot.

"You don't need to put a high hat on me," Zu Zhongzheng shook his head slightly, "Guan Zheng's people also came here just now. They brought Zhu Shou's words, saying that they admired Chen Zhi's talent and learning, and Lu Fangwen brought Chen Zhixin's works. Please take a look at the pleading first..." As he said that, he picked up the pleading on the table and handed it over.

Chen Qian stepped forward and took it with both hands. He took it and turned to the last few pages. His eyes widened as he read.

"The Zuo family of Qingzhou, the general in charge of the army, and the like are going to congratulate Chen Zhi?" He looked up at Zu Zhongzheng, obviously shocked by the news.

In fact, according to normal channels, the news should have reached Chen Qian long ago, but Chen Hua was involved and deliberately blocked the news so that Chen Qian, who was also a member of the Chen family, did not know immediately.

"You don't know yet?" Zu Zhongzheng was also a little surprised, and nodded, "It's probably because of Chen Hua." He also knew the rumors about Chen Hua in Pengcheng.

Chen Qian's face suddenly looked a little embarrassed. To people with a foreign surname, this kind of thing was considered a family scandal.

Zu Zhongzheng did not dwell on this, and just smiled and said: "Don't think about it, just read the last line of the testimonial."

"The last line?" Chen Qian's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, "Zhongzheng, have you already given your judgment?" As he spoke, he looked and his eyes fell on the last line. His eyelids suddenly jumped with an incredulous look, and then He raised his head and looked at Zu Zhongzheng, "Zhongzheng, you..."

Zu Zhongzheng smiled slightly and said: "I really didn't expect that Chen Zhi would have such deeds in such a short period of time, so I had to write a few more words."

Chen Qian shook his head and said, "It's not this, but this country product, it's probably...not suitable."

I saw the last line of the certificate written: He has a good reputation, excellent calligraphy, and is good at famous teachings. It is agreed that he will have five grades.

A virtuous name is not an ordinary description. It means a virtuous name. It must take into account both talent and virtue. It must be recognized by counties and counties. To be called "virtuous", it must at least have the character of a famous person. Generally, it is changed. It can only be added when the comment is made. Chen Zhi, who is a certain character, is directly praised as a virtuous person. Even if it is not the first case, it is also rare!

Needless to say, Chen Zhi's calligraphy is exquisite.

As for being good at teaching by name, Chen Qian was also surprised. This refers to the name of teaching.

Mingjiao, which means name education, can be traced back to Confucius' theory of "rectification of names". It is a method of guidance through persuasion and education to maintain social order, and teaching as a teacher is one of the links.

The debate between the theory of fame and nature was rising throughout the New Han Dynasty. Chen Qian naturally knew what impact it would have if these two words were added to someone's evaluation of local products!
Just thinking of the "Shi Shuo", Chen Qian understood again and knew that as long as that article was there, Chen Zhi would be invincible.

What really surprised him, even unbelievable, were the last four words.

Agree on five items!

Middle grade, fifth grade!
What is this concept?
Chen Qiandu was only a sixth-grade native.

The top grade is the middle grade, directly designated as the fifth grade. Not to mention the Pengcheng nobles, even the top northern nobles, few people in the Mesozoic era can have such treatment, that is, the Langya Wang family and the like may see it.And what about Chen Zhi?

Originally, due to his career, the Chen family did not even submit a letter of character to him. After submitting it, they could only assign Chen Zhi a ninth or eighth grade in accordance with the customary agreement. Later, many things happened, which made it difficult for him to do so. Decided to upgrade to level seven.

In this way, considering the opinions of the Pengcheng nobles, Zu Zhongzheng did not dare to break through the lower-grade boundaries. To be on the safe side, he postponed it until after New Year's Day. As a result, as soon as it was taken out, it was decided to go to fifth-grade, and it jumped directly to two grades. The low-grade category jumped into the middle-grade category, and it was still a middle-grade one.

"This... Zhongzheng, even if there is a congratulatory event and a teacher's comment, Chen Zhi is the first time to order a product, so there is always room for it. If someone in the Pengcheng family refuses to accept it, it will be a hidden danger. It is better to go first Give a seven-rank rating, and when the limelight passes, it won't be too late to improve." After Chen Qian was surprised, he became worried, such a sudden promotion would inevitably give people a feeling that he was about to be praised, and he couldn't care less about the up and down Farewell, give me direct advice.

But Zu Zhongzheng laughed: "How can the Pengcheng family disagree? If not, just find someone to write an article that is better than "The Master's Theory", and I will naturally give him a mid-level rating."

Seeing that Chen Qian wanted to talk more, he waved his hand and said something irrelevant: "My brother Zu Ti has now taken over the post of the prefect of Jiyin and will take office soon."

As soon as he said this, Chen Qian was startled for a moment, then his thoughts started to change, and he vaguely understood.

Although Jiyin is located in Yanzhou, it is close to Qingzhou. Due to drought and floods, there are also many refugees and bandit troops. Most of them rely on Qingxu Governor Dongpinghou Gou Xi. Think of what Zu Zhongzheng just mentioned, Dongpinghou’s tent Zhu Shou asked someone to come over and deliver the message.

Could it be that he wanted to save favors for his brother?Contact people?

While Chen Qian was thinking, Zu Zhongzheng said again: "You also know Zhu Shou's background. Would such a person come over to build momentum for Chen Zhi for no reason?"

These words reminded Chen Qian and made him understand: "What does Zhongzheng mean?"

Zu Zhong said seriously: "We don't know what Chen Zhiding did, but he, Zhu Shou, knows that this matter is even important enough for him to send his close aides to campaign and build momentum for Chen Zhi. What do you think?" What could this be?”

"Zhu Shounai is in charge of the army. He knows it, but others don't know it. He can't make it public. Isn't that... military?" Chen Qian's expression finally changed.

Military affairs, once involved in the country's major affairs, are no small matter.

"You finally figured it out," Zu Zhongzheng nodded while stroking his beard, "I have recovered it several times. If it happens again, I won't be able to bear it. Naturally, I have to leave some space. When it comes to the fifth grade, even Zhu Shou The news came, and I thought it was enough to resist."

"Zhongzheng is wise." Chen Qian nodded, seeing that Zhongzheng had made up his mind, but he was still a little worried, "You can rashly designate a Pengcheng scholar as a fifth-grade scholar. What if there are objections from the capital?"

This is also a real issue. Although it has evolved several times, it is customary that the judge of the county Zhongzheng is the final decision. However, this time the matter is too special. In the past, there have been examples of Zhongzheng showing favoritism and being rejected by Beijing. This is a question of the authority of the Zhongzheng official. A major blow.

Zu Zhongzheng seemed to have already made a plan, and said calmly: "Don't worry, just submit this master's statement, together with the certificate of character, to the capital. I'm afraid that these five grades will not be enough to satisfy them."

"Submit it together, but it still doesn't satisfy the capital? Could it be that they still think that the fifth grade is low?" Chen Qian couldn't understand it more and more.

Zu Zhongzheng, however, narrowed his eyes, pointed at the sentence his master said, and whispered: "Yinan, you didn't read the text carefully enough. Look at this sentence again."

"This sentence?" Chen Qian was stunned when he heard the words. When he looked over at Zu Zhongzheng's finger, he frowned in confusion at first, and then his eyes suddenly widened, "This... this sentence, doesn't this sentence help the Holy Spirit to exonerate him?" He suddenly looked up at Zu Zhongzheng.

Zu Zhongzheng laughed.

Then I saw the sentence he was referring to: "The way of a saint is to never be different and think of God, not to lead the sky to think it is high, to benefit people, to be affected by things, that's all." This sentence comes from Liu Zongyuan's thoughts, and after Chen The practice of stopping is in line with the understanding at this time.

To put it simply, the sages believe that the changes in the heaven and earth have their own laws and do not have any mysterious characteristics.This sentence, together with the two or three sentences that follow, and the context, actually encourage learning, but taken out alone, the taste changes a bit.

A bright light flashed in Zu Zhongzheng's eyes, and he asked in a low voice: "The group of people who admire the theory of induction have often said recently that floods, floods, and military disasters are all immoral. What do you think the Holy Spirit would think if he saw this?"

Chen Qian was stunned for a long time, then bowed his hands, said nothing, and quickly left Zhongzheng.

As soon as he came out, he did not go back to his house. Instead, he first ordered his servants to send a piece of "Shi Shuo" to Xiapi, and then headed towards Chen's house.

　It’s still out there and there’s no time to modify it, so I’ll post it first and go back and modify it~
