Half a year ago, Chen Zhi got married.

The son-in-law of the East Gate.

Nowadays, many people use this idiom to form the matter of choosing a son-in-law of the Yang family. People in Luoyang talk about it relish. After the marriage news came to Pengcheng, people in Pengcheng also described it like this.

In fact, according to the rules and etiquette, Chen Zhi had to go to Pengcheng to marry a wife. After all, that was the foundation of his aristocratic family. However, for various reasons and the relationship that the emperor wanted to visit, the matter was finally handled in the capital. However, Pengcheng Zhuchen did not miss the opportunity. Chen Chi, Chen Bian, and Chen Xun came in person and served as the man's parents as the man's parents.

What the person in the Hundred Schools of Teahouses said was actually the reason why the son-in-law from the East Gate was known to everyone in Luoyang.

Even the two foreign guests couldn't help but nodded and said, "When I was waiting for it, I heard about Chen Jun getting married on the road. I didn't expect that there was such an allusion in it. It was a good story."

However, there was also a person who was active in his mind, who knew Huang Tong's usual style and guessed in his heart that since this scholar who was good at analyzing and calculating had asked this, what he wanted to say was probably not known to everyone, and perhaps there were other hidden stories.

So, in order to show their intelligence, they couldn't help but scrape their hearts and wanted to find other statements.

Thinking of this, some people remembered a lot of details.

One of them said first: "The saying of the son-in-law of the East Gate is a good story, but it is somewhat suspected of exaggeration. After all, the disciple of Mr. Yang is not only walking in the Chen family, but also the other families have also followed it. It seems that after weighing the pros and cons, the final decision was made."

This also opened up other people's ideas.

"Yes, Chen Jun's actions at that time were unparalleled among the younger generation. It was natural for the Yang family to like him. Not to mention the far-reaching situation, Huang Si wanted to praise Chen Jun at the court meeting just now. Isn't there a Grand Marshal who came forward? At that time, he and Chen Zhi were not his father-in-law and son-in-law. The reason why they came forward must be that they value Chen Zhi's talent and talent. They have already become interested in selling their favors."

"Yes, it's been a long time since the incident in the East Corridor, and the Grand Secretary came forward to protect Chen Zhi. If he had thought Chen Zhi could be a good son-in-law for a long time, how could he have to wait for such a long time?"

"I heard that it was the young lady from the Yang family who had already had a heart before she got married, and the one she belonged was Chen Jun! Mr. Yang loved his granddaughter and it was said that she would agree. Fortunately, Mr. Yang knew about etiquette and never had any advice beyond etiquette. Only he fell in love with Mr. Chen and often said something. Perhaps because of this, Mr. Yang and the farmers in the Grand Corps would make up their minds."

"I also heard that the girl Yang was also a talented woman, and she was a letter to the piano, and Chen Jun was even more wonderful. The Yang family sent someone to ask about the Taipu Gong's intentions. According to the two families, the Taipu agreed happily. Then he came to Chen Jun and discussed with him. Unexpectedly, Chen Jun said that the matter could not be decided by one person, so he asked someone to arrange it and talked with the girl Yang family through the curtain. He knew the woman's feelings and asked a few more questions and answered questions. He agreed. After returning, Chen Jun also said in private that the girl Yang was very strange and had his own intentions. The Chen family knew that Chen Jun was also satisfied with the marriage."

After the latter said that, he saw the eyes of everyone, and waved his hand and said, "Don't look at me like this. I'm not hearing it out loud or making it up casually. My family and Chen also have in-laws, so I know."

Hearing his words, everyone was amazed.

Huang Tong said: "I don't know. There is such a story in it. It's really a good story. But what I want to tell you is not this. Do you still remember why I mentioned Chen Jun's marriage?"

Only then did everyone wake up as if they were dreaming, they all came back to their senses, and many people even laughed.

"I almost fooled by you, right? Didn't I ask where Chen Jun would be the county magistrate, and would like to know how you learned about it?"

"Yes, as I said that, I started to get to Chen Jun's marriage again."

"The Yang family is married to a daughter and the Chen family is married. The situation is indeed quite large. One of the two families is a big family and the other has a national scholar. Today, people often mention it. It is normal for me to forget the right position after I wait."

As they were talking, their eyes focused on Huang Tong again, with flexible thinking, and vague speculations on the relationship between the front and back.

Especially the two foreign guests, who seemed to be mingling with everyone just now and laughing together, but at this moment, he curled his smile and the man who kept talking, asked more tentatively: "Is it related to the fact that the Grand Secretary talked to Mr. Chen in the court?"

Huang Tong smiled slightly and said, "It's right to say it's relevant. In fact, the key point is not the Grand Secretary, but the one opposite at that time."

"The one on the opposite side? Isn't it Huang Si?"

"What is Huang Si? Can you compare with the Grand Secretary? You are talking about the person behind Huang Si."

"So that's it. No wonder Huang Wen mentioned the three families forcing Chen before. Could this be the follow-up? Where did Chen Jun go to be the county magistrate? Is it related to this?"

"Actually, there is a very clear vein here." Huang Tong said, taking off the lid of the teacup, stretching out his fingers to dip it in it, falling down on the table, drawing a water line, and then clicking a little at one end of the water line.

"The three families forced Chen, and Chen Jun was very talented, so he couldn't suppress it, so the three alliances collapsed..."

After finishing the first dot, he raised his hand and drew the second dot at the edge of that point, and continued to say, "Then, Chen Junxing praised the reputation of Luoyang, walked through the Honglu Temple and Taichang Mansion, and coordinated the matter, and achieved a great ceremony. The contribution was great and it cannot be erased."

After finishing drawing the second dot, he paused and drew the third dot.

"Afterwards, the court discussed the matter of the Huns and wanted to reward merits. Huang Si wrote a letter saying that he would ask Chen Jun to find a position as a county magistrate. But you also understand that this was not a good intention, so the Grand Secretary, the Grand Honglu, Taichang, Taipu and other Shangqing came forward to stop him and suppressed Huang Si."

Everyone couldn't help but nodded, and just now he felt sorry for Huang Si, but they also knew that Huang Si was asking for it after all.

Everyone knew who the one behind Huang Si was. After all, at the end of the court meeting, the man saw Lie Qing coming forward and went on stage in person, but failed to do so. How could he give up? Not to mention Ma Zheng's benefits, even if he was ruined one after another, if he did not find the venue, his prestige would be damaged and the family would be damaged.

In addition to the disputes of interests, there is also the disputes of fame among aristocratic families. After all, it was not in the pre-Qin period. The aristocratic families were like a country. Even if they were arranged, they were still subject to restrictions. With the arbitration of the Emperor of Han and the supervision of scholars, the people's hearts could also make the power of the aristocratic families grow and decrease.

Huang Tong then fell to the fourth point and said, "After this, the man seemed to be quiet and no longer had any movement. Then all the comments were raised one after another. Jing Cong, a native of Luoyang, Chen Jun was named Zhang, married a beautiful wife, and won the fifth rank. It can be said that he is the peak of his life. The position of the secretary and supervisor is comparable to that of the county magistrate, which can actually explain the problem."

The secretary and the county magistrate are also the fifth rank. If Chen Zhi was released from the outside and was a scholar and had many contributions, it would definitely not be lower than the fifth rank. Considering the dispute at that court meeting, as long as he was released from the outside, a county magistrate would inevitably be released.

"So, if Mr. Chen is exiled to be an official, he will be the prefect of the whole place!"

After the words were finished, Huang Tong also finished drawing the fifth dot, which fell just at the end of the straight line.

When the words fell, everyone was silent.

But someone soon said, "It may not be necessary. The fifth-rank official is not only the county magistrate, but may not be the county magistrate. Besides, Chen Jun was a central official in Luoyang. This is the path of a clean official and can rise to the top. He has only been in office for a year and is already a fifth-rank official. He is in charge of the important affairs of a province. He has also had friendship with the Leqing ministers. Since he became the secretary and supervisor, he has successively helped Taichang, Honglu, Taipu, Tingwei, etc., and the new Tingwei Zhang Ruo, who is about to take office, has also had friendship with him. Why should he release the prefect for such a situation?"

Everyone nodded one after another, then looked at the person who was talking, and then they found that they were also a familiar face.

"This is Liu Gang from the Liu family in Pengcheng. He is a friend of Chen Zhi. He has a friendship with Chen Jun and is also a family friend. He now has a great reputation in the city. Some of them appreciate it and want to invite him to become an official."

"It turns out to be Liu Junzi, who is polite." Huang Tong stood up and bowed. "I know the friendship between gentlemen and Chen Jun, and I dare not hide it. The one who asked me to write to me at the time wanted Chen Jun to be the county magistrate. It seemed to be recommended, but in fact, it was his intention. He thought about what he wanted. The county he chose would definitely be a place that was difficult to make contributions. In today's world, if the county magistrate did nothing and did nothing. He could get a no-fruit when he was practicing Huang Lao's art. He could get a no-fruit and no-fruit place. In comparison, the poor mountains and rivers on the frontier were different and needed to do things. If this was not said in advance, it would be possible to make mistakes. In addition, the tribes on the frontier were not polite and were not well-known and often came to commit crimes. Therefore, it was not only unfruitful, but also had no-fruits. Therefore, Huang asserted that the county where Chen Jun went should be such a bad place."

"But I also said that Brother Chen may not go," Liu Gang shook his head and expressed his opinion. "According to the path of many wise ministers, Brother Chen can sit in the capital and slowly plan for it."

Huang Tong sighed and said, "If it were normal, of course this is the case, but the man who failed to do what he wanted in the court and was blocked by several ministers. He did not do anything during this period. In the past six months, he planned to make another move, but it was not the case at that time."

Liu Gang shook his head and said, "I know who you are talking about, but those people are ranked among the ministers. If you want to plan, you won't plan for half a year for Brother Chen, a junior, right? Wouldn't that be a waste of style? Besides, Brother Chen is now in a good background and is not so easy to bully."

When everyone heard this, they nodded, feeling that this was the point, so they waited to see how Huang Tong responded.

But he saw the man laughing and said, "The gentleman said it right. Those who would not be condescending to the nobles. They planned for the fifth-rank official for half a year, so he had a great plan. Although I admire Chen Jun, Chen Jun was still weak in the face of that person. Naturally, the person's half-year preparation was not aimed at Chen Jun, because Chen Jun was just by the way..."
