Chapter 131 Hometown!
After a few glances, the ancestors changed slightly. Before they entered the yamen, they ordered someone to invite Chen Qian.
After about half an hour, Chen Qian came over. When he arrived, he happened to see Zu Zhong looking down at Wen. He did not bother him, and stood aside and waited quietly. While waiting, he also glanced at the Wen. As expected, it was indeed "The Master's Talk".
Seeing this scene, Chen Qian felt quite complicated. He had already read the article "Talk of the Master" with his own eyes and was very amazed. He also knew the value of this article. He was not surprised at all that the article was popular in Pengcheng. A small Pengcheng could not hold back this article at all.
However, he also heard rumors about Chen Hua. As a member of the Chen family in Xia Pi, he had some thoughts in his mind, but in the end, the dispute between these juniors would not affect his judgment.
"I'm afraid no one will look at Chen Zhi from the perspective of a junior. His name is a famous scholar. Because this article "Talk of the Master" must be made realistic. Although Chen Hua was upset when he was, it had nothing to do with the overall situation. However, in order to prevent problems from arise, I should pass this article to my family as soon as possible so that they can know it."
Chen Qian was thinking that Zu Zhongzheng put down the article, and then smiled and said, "Transport to the south, I will say that I will wait until the New Year to give Chen Zhi a fixed grade. As expected, if it weren't for this decision, today I would have to come to chase the post office again."
"Zhongzheng is joking, you have had the foresight." Chen Qian bowed and smiled, giving a gentle compliment.
The "Quick Horse Chasing Post Post" mentioned by Zu Zhongzheng is a recent popular rumor in Liu County. It is about the fact that Chen Zhi's letter of praise has changed several times, forcing Zhongzheng to send someone to recover it. However, in this rumor, Zu Zhongzheng was not described as a stupid person, but was described as a wise man. He could not bear to be buried with a talented man, which made him quite satisfied, and his impression of Chen Zhi was much better.
"You don't have to put a high hat on me," Zu Zhongzheng shook his head slightly. "Justice Zheng's man came to visit me just now and brought Zhu Shou's words, saying that he admired Chen Zhi's talent and Lu Jian also brought Chen Zhixin's letter of calligraphy. You can take a look first..." As he said, he picked up the letter of calligraphy on the table beside him and handed it over.
Chen Qian stepped forward, took it with both hands, took it over and turned to the last few pages, the more he looked, the bigger his eyes became.
"The Zuo Family in Qingzhou is in charge of the army. Are these people going to congratulate Chen Zhi alone?"
After saying that, he looked up at Zu Zhongzheng, obviously shocked by the news.
In fact, according to normal channels, this news should have been reached by Chen Qian long ago, but Chen Hua was involved and intentionally blocked the news, which made Chen Qian, who is also a member of the Chen family, not know immediately.
"Don't you know yet?" Zu Zhongzheng was also a little surprised, but nodded, "It's probably because of Chen Hua." He also knew the rumors about Chen Hua in Pengcheng.
Chen Qian's face suddenly felt a little embarrassed. In the eyes of people from other families, this kind of thing is a family scandal.
Zu Zhongzheng didn't bother about this, but just smiled and said, "Don't think about this anymore, look at the last line of this book of the book."
"The last line?" Chen Qian's heart thumped when he heard this, "Zhongzheng, have you made a judgment?" He said and looked, his eyes falling on the last line of words. His eyelids suddenly jumped, revealing an incredible look. Then he looked up and looked at Zu Zhongzheng, "Zhongzheng, you..."
Zu Zhongzheng smiled and said, "I really didn't expect that Chen Zhi would have such a deed in just a short time, so he had to write a few more words."
Chen Qian shook his head and said, "It's not this, but this rural product, it's not...it's not very suitable."
I saw that the last line of the book of the rank reads: He is famous for his virtuous, has superb calligraphy, is good at famous teachings, and has agreed to the fifth grade.
The name of a virtuous person is not an ordinary description, but it means the name of a virtuous person. It takes into account both talent and virtue and is recognized by counties. If it is recognized by the county and county, it must be called "virtuous" at least as famous as famous scholars. It can only be added when reviewing. However, Chen Zhi's certain title is directly called virtuous. Even if it is not the first case, it is rare!
The calligraphy is exquisite, so there is no need to say much about this. It has already pointed out that Chen Zhi’s calligraphy can be called a great person.
As for the good-looking teachings of famous religion, Chen Qian also surprised him, this is the name of education.
Famous teaching, which means education of nobility, can be traced back to Confucius's theory of "correcting the name", maintaining social order through the guidance of persuasion and education, and teaching as a teacher is naturally one of the links.
This debate between the Famous Church and the theory of nature was emerging throughout the New Han Dynasty. Chen Qian naturally knew how much impact it would have if these two words were added to a person's rural taste review!
Just thinking of the article "The Master's Talk", Chen Qian understood again and knew that as long as there was that article, Chen Zhi would be invincible.
What really surprised him, even incredible, was the last five words.
Agreed to the fifth grade!
Medium-grade, fifth-grade!
What is this concept?
Chen Qian himself is only a sixth-grade rural product.
The average grade is the middle grade and the fifth grade. Not to mention the Pengcheng gentry, it is the top northern gentry. Among them, there are not many people in the zodiac, which are the Wang family of Langya. It is possible to see it.
And what about Chen Zhi?
Because of his shape, his family did not even submit a letter of letter to him. At first, he could only make a ninth and eighth grade for Chen Zhi as agreed in accordance with the customs. Later, after many things happened, he decided to be the seventh grade.
In this way, considering the opinions of the Pengcheng gentry, the ancestors did not dare to break through the boundaries of the lower grade. For the sake of safety, they delayed the year after the New Year. As a result, they now took it out and decided to set the fifth grade. They directly adjusted two grades, and even jumped from the lower grade to the middle grade or the middle grade.
"This... Zhongzheng, even if there is a congratulations and a master to say something, Chen Zhi is the first time he has set a rank, so he has to leave room for anything. If someone in Pengcheng family is not convinced, it is inevitable that it will be a hidden danger. It is better to calm down the seventh grade first, and it will not be too late to improve it when the limelight comes." Chen Qian was surprised and worried. In this breath, he inevitably gave people a feeling of being about to be praised and killed. He didn't care about the difference between the two and made suggestions directly.
Zu Zhongzheng laughed: "Where will the Pengcheng family disagree? If they do not agree, they just need to find someone to write an article better than "The Master's Talk", and I will naturally give him a mid-grade product."
Seeing that Chen Qian was about to say something else, he waved his hand and said something irrelevant: "My brother Zu Ti has now accepted the position of Jiyin Prefect and will take office soon."
As soon as he said this, Chen Qian was stunned at first, and then his thoughts turned and he understood vaguely.
Although Jiyin is located in Yanzhou, it is similar to Qingzhou. Due to drought and flood disasters, there are many refugees and bandit troops, and most of them rely on the governor of Qing Xu, Hou Gou Xi, Hou of Dongping. I think of what the ancestor Zhongzheng mentioned just now that Zhu Shou, who was under the tent of Hou Dongping, asked someone to come over to deliver the conversation.
Could it be that you want to accumulate personal favors for his brother? Contact others?
Just as Chen Qian was thinking, Zu Zhongzheng said again: "You also know that Zhu Shou's background, would such a person come to Chen Zhi for no reason?"
These words reminded Chen Qian and made him understand: "What does Zhongzheng mean?"
Zu Zhongzheng said seriously: "Chen Zhi must have done something that I don't know, but Zhu Shou knew that this matter was even important. He could send his confidant aides to act and create momentum for Chen Zhi. What would you do if you said such a thing?"
"Zhu Shou is the general in charge of the army. He knows it, but others don't know it and can't make a statement. Isn't that... a military matter?" Chen Qian's expression finally changed.
War is a major event for the country. Once it is involved, it is very important.
"You finally see it," Zu Zhongzheng nodded, "I have already recovered it a few times. If I do it again, I will not be able to stand it anymore. Naturally, I have to leave some space. Even if the news comes, it will be enough to resist a fifth-grade person."
"Zhongzheng is wise." Chen Qian nodded, and he also saw that the ancestor Zhongzheng had decided, but he still had a little concern, "But after all, the world doesn't know about this matter. You rashly designated a son of a Pengcheng family as a fifth-rank township. What if there is any objection in the capital?" This is also a realistic problem. Although the county Zhongzheng's evaluation was the final case after several years of Yanbian, it was already a common practice, but this matter could not be resisted. In the past, there were examples of Zhongzheng's favoritism and being rejected by Zhongzheng, which was a major blow to the authority of Zhongzheng.
Zu Zhongzheng seemed to have made a decision and said calmly: "Don't worry, as long as you submit this master's words to the capital, I'm afraid that my fifth grade will not be able to satisfy the situation."
"Is it still impossible to satisfy the capital? Could it be that they still think that the fifth grade is low?" Chen Qian was becoming increasingly unable to understand.
Zu Zhongzheng narrowed his eyes, stretched out his fingers to the words the master said, and whispered: "Winnan, read the text carefully, look at this sentence again."
"This sentence?" Chen Qian was stunned when he heard this. When he followed Zu Zhongzheng's finger, he frowned and then suddenly widened his eyes, "This... this sentence, can this sentence help the emperor exonerate?" He looked at Zu Zhongzheng suddenly.
Zu Zhongzheng laughed.
The sentence he pointed to said: "The way of a saint is endless and different, and it is not so great that it is good for people and is prepared for things." This sentence, together with the following sentences, comes from Liu Zongyuan's thoughts, and after Chen Zhi's cultivation, it echoes the cognition at this time.
This sentence, together with the next two or three sentences, is simply to put it simply. The sages believe that the change of heaven and earth does not mean that they are not virtuous, but that they have their own laws that can be understood and learned, and cooperate with the previous and next texts. In fact, it is also encouraged to learn, but if you put it alone, the taste will change a little.
Nowadays, this statement will undoubtedly be criticized by many people, but...
A glimmer flashed in Zu Zhongzheng's eyes and asked whispered: "The people who praised Ganying said, as the saying recently, floods and disasters are all unethical today. What do you think if the emperor saw this sentence?"
Chen Qian was stunned for a while, then bowed his hand, stopped talking, and soon bid farewell to Zhongzheng.
