Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 199 Zuna passed down the genealogy, and the poor monk explained the method

"That's probably the situation. It will take a while for the invitation from the Kong family to be delivered to you, so don't be impatient."

After Chen Zhi arrived at Zhongzheng Mansion, Zuna took the initiative to talk about the invitation, which also made Chen Zhi understand why no one came to him to deliver the invitation.

"Some news spreads slowly, especially from north to south," Zuna asked Chen Zhi to sit down, served tea, and then said with a smile, "There is still a barrier between the north and the south. News from the north is often not ignored when it reaches the south. Pay attention to."

Chen Zhi nodded and did not interrupt, but he knew in his heart that this was actually a manifestation of the contradiction between the north and the south.

Over the past few days, he had visited Zuna many times, sometimes for several days in a row.

Sometimes they were playing chess with Zuna, and sometimes they were just chatting. Even when they were talking, Zuna was still talking a lot while playing chess.

As a Zhongzheng official, he didn't seem to have much scruples. At first, he only introduced the situation of local products and the reasons why the imperial court assigned Chen Zhi a third-level product. He also vaguely revealed some of them, vaguely mentioning the emperor's appreciation of Chen Zhi and the people in the court. The public heard about Chen Zhi's name.

This also made Chen Zhi understand why the fame gold liquid in Baijia's lotus tubes suddenly soared that day.

However, since the sudden increase that day, the growth of the fortune gold liquid in the lottery tube has returned to normal.

When the price skyrocketed, Chen Zhi took advantage of the trend and drew a lot. A few days later, the lot was filled with three spaces again, but the growth trend did not expand further. Seeing this, Chen Zhi did not draw lots again, but kept it in case of emergencies. needs.

He also judged from this that his name had not spread widely in the DPRK and should be limited to a limited number of people, which was consistent with Zuna's narrative.

But on the other hand, seeing that Zuna knew even this information, Chen Zhi couldn't help but become curious, whether it was Zuna's unusual background or his status as a Zhongzheng official that played a role.

In fact, Zuna did know a lot. From the original reason for the third rank, he would go off topic while talking. Sometimes he would talk about government affairs, but more often he would talk about the conflicts between aristocratic families.

Through Zuna's words and some of the information he collected, Chen Zhi vaguely discovered that there was a lot of conflict between the northern and southern gentry. The source of this was due to the inability of the southern and northern gentry to effectively integrate after Xuanwu unified the world.

After the unification of the world, the nine-rank system was further strengthened. One of the main reasons was to accept the northern nobles and give them ninth-rank positions according to their family background and origins to prevent unnecessary resistance. When the conquered nobles knew that their family was not Even if something happens, you can continue to be an official and hold power. Naturally, you will not have the thought of living and dying with your motherland.

However, conflicts inevitably occurred. As the birthplace of the New Han Dynasty, the south had an inherent advantage and the aristocratic families considered themselves superior, which inevitably intensified conflicts.

"Listening to Zuna's recent narration, we can roughly find that the North-South conflict has gained momentum of internal strife. Judging from Zhuge Yan's issue, I am afraid that in addition to the North-South conflict, there are other conflicts within Xinhan."

Summing up the current situation, Chen Zhi shook his head silently in his heart.

Over there, after Zuna talked a few words about the Kong family and the dispute between the North and the South, he brought up the trivial matters of the past few days.

As he listened, Chen Zhi noticed the look on the Zhongzheng official's face, understood a little, and said with a smile: "Zhongzheng asked me to come here, it shouldn't just be about this matter."

"Well," Zuna paused for a moment before smiling, "As expected, I can't hide it from Shouyi, so I won't hide it anymore. Come and see these..." He waved to Chen Zhi to get closer. After a few steps, he took out a stack of paper from the side.

Chen Zhi took a few steps closer and took a look, only to see a chessboard drawn on the paper, with the chess points clicked on, and it turned out to be a stack of chess records.

"Zhongzheng, what is this?" Chen Zhi had already guessed in his mind, but he still asked on the surface. He knew that Zhongzheng's hobby was the art of black and white. When he came to visit in the past, Zuna had an affair with Chen Zhi. Played many chess games.

Chen Zhi's chess ability can only be said to be above average. He has learned it in his previous life and has an excellent memory. It is considered outstanding, but compared with an experienced chess player like Zuna who has been immersed in it for many years, it is a bit inferior.

But in Zuna's view, Chen Zhi is a rare opponent worthy of a fight, and he is making rapid progress. This is why Chen Zhineng often comes to visit. Otherwise, a Zhongzheng official, in order to avoid suspicion, would not leave with the local nobles. too close.

"Here are some chess records I have summarized. I can't think of a way to solve some of them for the time being. Your chess strength has improved rapidly. You can take it back and have a look. Maybe you can solve it." Zuna said, He handed over the stack of chess records.

Chen Zhi took the opportunity to take over.

Chen Zhi's improvement in chess skills was truly rapid. When he and Zuna played chess, they would often play a day apart, which gave Zuna a completely new feeling. From the beginning, Zuna won more than he lost, but now he has won more. Failure or failure, the key here actually lies in the Spring and Autumn Pillow.The Spring and Autumn Pillow allows Chen Zhi to spend a few more hours thinking every day. Not only can he read in his dreams, but he can also play chess and think about chess games in his dreams.

This chessboard player's talk requires memory, strategy, experience, etc. Chen Zhi has an almost photographic memory, and his strategies have been experienced in the fire of war. His vision and judgment are both excellent choices, and he has the ability to make decisions. As for this experience, repeated deduction for seven or eight hours every night is enough to make up for it.

With so many conveniences, your chess skills will soar.

However, Chen Zhi knew very well that the chess records that Zuna took out were not only for him to understand, but also for other purposes, so he asked: "Who do you want to show these chess records to?"

"I can't hide it from you." Zuna laughed, "I'll take the invitation from the Kong family, and I really want to go, because there are hundreds of experts in the apricot forum, and I can discuss chess with people from all schools of thought. Said, this time we invited chess masters from foreign races. Unfortunately, I have responsibilities and it is difficult to go there, so I thought of sending a few disciples there. But after all, these disciples are not going to be there in person, so they cannot learn the methods of those chess masters. ,so……"

He showed a kind smile to Chen Zhi, pointed to the stack of chess records, and said, "When the time comes, I'll have to trouble you to bring these chess records over there and let the people over there have a look."

"Zhongzheng is so sure that I can go there?" Chen Zhi was a little surprised. Logically speaking, such a matter must be left to someone close to him, such as his own son, in order to feel at ease.

Zu Na smiled and said: "If you can't go, the Pengcheng family will be dissatisfied. Now that you have reached the third level, you are a famous figure in Pengcheng County and the face of this place. Not to mention that you yourself have learned a lot. Even if you have no talent or learning, you only have The Kong family knows about their family background and will send invitations, but it will only happen sooner or later. As for this chess record, only you are suitable. The younger members of my family have limited achievements in chess and cannot compare to you. It is up to you. Take it with you so that you can memorize the countermeasures of those chess masters."

He watched Chen Zhi looking through the chess records, and then said: "You can take it back and take a look first. There are several chess games in it that were made with my hard work. Even if my people have not passed, but these few chess records have passed, then That's enough." There was a sense of arrogance in his words.

After hearing this, Chen Zhi read through it a few more times, and planned to go back tonight and comprehend it in his dream first. In the past few games, he had become very interested in chess. After all, entertainment in ancient times was limited. A game like this Chess is the ideal choice.

Then the two of them talked for a few more words, and then Chen Qian came over. He had some official business to report to Zuna. Chen Zhi met him, and after greeting Chen Qian, he took his leave.

After leaving the Zhongzheng Mansion, Chen Zhi glanced at the chess records in his hand, but what he was thinking about was the Xingtan Forum.

This kind of discussion did not exist in the previous life. At that time, there was a war and chaos. Even if there were masters of Confucian classics, most of them would be won over by the princes from all sides, either to decorate their appearance, or to protect them, or to force them into officials. It was impossible to let them wander around the world. .

"However, even in the time of peace, it is really surprising that there are people from other races coming to discuss the Tao. Is the strategy of the previous life really effective? Has the connection between Seyi and the Central Plains been strengthened? It doesn't seem like it, based on what we know now It seems that almost all of the core strategies I left behind in my previous life have been distorted by others, or have become out of touch and unrealistic with the development of the times. There may be some inside story about the Xingtan incident this time. .”

Chen Zhi left some legacy policies in his previous life to control his surroundings. Although they were relatively crude, they were combined with a lot of experience from later generations. However, there are no eternal laws in this world. Even if they were appropriate at the time, as time went by, New problems will also arise under the governance of the new strategy.

What's more, Chen Zhi died in his previous life, and the legacy policy was entrusted to others to implement and supervise, so there are inevitably discrepancies and distortions. Judging from the little information he has collected so far, many problems have been discovered.

Thinking about it, Chen Zhi walked around the city.

Since he came to the county town, he naturally wanted to take a look at his own house. Since the old house was repaired, Chen Zhi could count the number of times he had gone there on two hands.

But after he took a few steps, there were suddenly a few figures on the road ahead, blocking the way forward.

Chen Zhi stopped and looked attentively. The first thing he saw was a man dressed as a monk. He was clasping his hands and looking at Chen Zhi with a smile and a peaceful expression.

Beside the monk, there was an extraordinary handsome man in white, also smiling, looking at Chen Zhi with a trace of curiosity.

The rest are behind the two.

"This must be Almsgiver Chen. I've heard about his name for a long time. The poor monk understands the Dharma and is polite." The man dressed as a monk bowed slightly and greeted with a smile.

"Master Mingfa came here specifically to wait for Chen?" Chen Zhi returned the greeting, "I don't have many temples in Pengcheng, and I haven't seen the master before. I wonder where he came from?"

Monk Mingfa smiled and said: "The poor monk came from the south and went north to Qingzhou. When I was in the south, I heard the name of Almsgiver Chen, and I even saw your articles. I admired you very much. This time I passed through Pengcheng and endured the pain. I can’t help but want to see the real face, but I’m a little abrupt, so I hope you’ll forgive me, and if possible, I hope I can have a few words with the donor.”
