After Deng Meng said that, everyone looked at each other.

Originally, when the Taichang officials heard that the Huns were going to send envoys over, they were surprised at first, and then they were very confused.

The accident was because both sides had just fought, and the imperial army had a great defeat, if not...

They subconsciously looked at Chen Zhi, thinking of the same thoughts.

If Chen Zhi hadn't killed the little prince of the Huns, and was very lucky to let Liu Yuan die for some reason, the court would have been disgraced.

Yes, in the eyes of Chen Zhi's colleagues and even many officials in the court, Chen Zhi and the court were lucky because his unexpected action caused a huge change in the situation. Otherwise, according to the original trajectory, although the court had to bear unbearable shame, Chen Zhi would have become a victim in factional struggle because of his arbitrary killing of the Hun princes.

In fact, the news about the defeat of the Northern Route Army can no longer be concealed. At least in the center of the court, it can no longer be said to be a secret, so this news surprised everyone.

The subsequent doubts were also directed at the envoys. After all, this negotiation with the tribes of the four sides was the jurisdiction of the Great Honglu, and it had little to do with their Taichang Mansion.

But as soon as they heard that the place of prisoners was offered by Taimiao, several people also understood that this matter was related to sacrifices, and of course it was related to them, but then they shook their heads again, and the doubts in their hearts increased.

The army was defeated, even if there were one or two prisoners, they were still around the corner. They might not have been plundered by the Huns and many officers and soldiers. This kind of prisoner offering ceremony would probably be just a swollen face and fat man.

But after thinking about it a little, you will understand that the court had no choice but to do such a thing, because the news spread and he did not intend to move troops again for the time being. Of course, he had to use some means to block some people's mouths.

"I'm afraid I will end up being self-defeating."

Several people looked at each other, shook their heads, and had their own opinions.

After Deng Meng announced, he paused. After everyone digested the news, he continued: "In addition to this, in addition to the Huns, the Xianbei tribes and other Xianbei tribes Tuyuhun will also send envoys here, so they cannot be underestimated in etiquette. The court's intention was to focus on this matter and to announce it to the world and make the intention of various countries to come to the court to safeguard the hearts of the people in the world."

"We understand." Taichang Cheng Sun Jiang took the lead in expressing his opinion, demonstrating a high level of awareness.

Others followed suit.

Deng Meng nodded, looked at Chen Zhi again, and smiled and said, "In addition, Shuyi, as the saying goes, those who are capable work harder, the Great Honglu mentioned it to me, saying that it was the Xianbei tribes. Now they admire you very much, especially your articles, which are highly praised, so I specially discussed with me and asked you to contact both sides, serve as bridges, communicate whether there is any or not, and what are your intentions?"

As soon as this statement was made, the others immediately held their breath. They knew very well that this was nominally a reception of the Xianbei people, but as long as they were responsible for the contact between the two sides and coordinated the work between the Taichang and the Great Honglu, they could not be limited to the Xianbei people. In the end, the Xiongnu people would inevitably involve the Xiongnu, and the relationship between Chen Zhi and the Xiongnu...

From the current propaganda of the court, we can see that in the end, the Huns will vent their anger from Liu Yuan's death on Chen Zhi.

This is definitely not a good errand.

But this was Chen Zhi's first job, so it's hard to refuse.

However, before Chen Zhi made a statement, Deng Meng said first: "I can't refuse the proposal that the Dahonglu personally came up with, but considering that you still have some conflicts with the Xiongnu, it is really complicated to let you deal with this matter. I plan to ask Ji Fa to help you. You are of the same age and can help each other in harmony. Apart from that, you may have any other needs, so you might as well raise it."

His meaning is very clear. This matter involves political compromise. It is difficult for him, as a Shangguan, to refuse. Of course, if he really wants to block it, it is okay. It is nothing more than a little bit of harmony. But for now, Chen Zhi does not have the value of letting Deng Meng hurt harmony with a Jiuqing for him.

In terms of friendship, Deng Meng and Zhao Min, the Great Honglu, have been ministers in the same palace for many years. They were just subordinates who had just met, and it was impossible for them to argue with Chen Zhi and Zhao Min.

However, Deng Meng could also see that the tricks inside were fulfilling the moral integrity of a Shangguan and willing to provide help instead of dragging Chen Zhi back. In fact, they were doing very appropriately.

Chen Zhiyi understood this and did not intend to let go of this help. When he was just a new arrival, he wanted to collect more information, he saw even more disadvantages about the proposal of the Great Master Lu, and would not be too arrogant.

However, if the situation is unclear and making rash requests may backfire in the end, it is urgent to understand the situation first.

As soon as he thought of this, Chen Zhixin had a certain plan and stood up and said, "Thank you, Shangguan Houai, but his subordinates have just arrived and have not even figured out their jobs. He really doesn't know the key points of contacting both sides, and he dare not propose rashly. It's better to go to Taile Office to observe first, know before and after, and then ask Shangguan to help."

"That's good. I'll let you come here today, so that you can negotiate, coordinate and prepare in advance. Now, this matter is also said. Let's talk more about this matter. Since you are here, you will go to Taile Administration to take a look later. The burden on you is very heavy. In addition to the matter of Taile, you must also take responsibility for the responsibility of Xielulang and Qing Shangling. The emperor has high expectations for you and should not let him down."

"I'm sure." Chen Zhi nodded, knowing that he had passed the first round of tests.

In fact, today's affairs are the main business of Taichang Mansion, but it is also a test for Chen Zhi, otherwise he would not have been notified in advance.

From Chen Zhi's way into the main hall, he first saw whether he knew how to advance or retreat, and then introduced his colleagues, and then talked about the Xiongnu's envoy. Deng Meng was observing Chen Zhi at every step, looking at his words and deeds, his behavior, and how he acted in sudden events, whether he acted for responsibility, whether he agreed recklessly, or retreated from fear, etc.

Finally, Chen Zhi's many responses were just right, which made Deng Meng quite satisfied, so he verbally made Tai Leling's authority.

It was the last sentence that affirmed Chen Zhi's power. In addition to what Taile Ling should have, even Xielulang and Qing Shangling were given together.

Don’t think that these two authority has long been controlled by Taileling. It is natural to be able to get it. In sincere case, if Taileling does not allow it, even Taileling’s own responsibilities will be divided up by other officials, otherwise it will not be empty for a long time.

Now, Deng Meng took the initiative to mention it, and others understood that this was acknowledging Chen Zhi, at least he was willing to give him a chance to perform.

"Okay, if I am here, it will be inconvenient for you to speak. I will leave first. You can discuss and inform me later." After that, Deng Meng, the Taichang, had fully demonstrated his inaction spirit as rumored, and he actually left first.

The rest of the people were not surprised. They were obviously used to this situation. They really started talking about the question just now and exchanged opinions with each other.

As a newly appointed Taileling, Chen Zhi can rank among the top few among the people according to his authority on paper, but he is not familiar with his Taile Administration, has unclear responsibilities, and has lacked qualifications. Therefore, he listened decisively silently, did not express his opinions, nor did he stand out. Instead, he took the opportunity to observe his future colleagues, and he will spend a long time with them in the future.

There was a core figure in the negotiations between several people. This person was Sun Jiang. As Taichang Cheng, he was already responsible for the connection and coordination between several deployments within Taichang Mansion, and this matter also grasped the rhythm of the conversation.

The most active one is Taizhu Ling Wang Kong. This man was only forty years old and was in his prime. Through a few words, Chen Zhi also heard that this man was from the Wang family in Taiyuan. He was a descendant of a famous family and had great ambitions. He clearly regarded the Xiongnu envoy and the court offered prisoners as an opportunity to make political achievements, so he put forward many ideas and opinions.

However, most of them are a bit radical, but Chen Zhi doesn't understand the situation in various departments, and he can hear some unrealistic aspects, let alone other people.

However, Sun Jiang, who was in charge of the negotiation, did not directly reject it, but asked others to express their opinions and invisibly suppress Wang Kong's opinions by affirming the proposals of others.

"This Sun Jiang is also a character similar to Deng Meng. He acts steadily. No wonder he can become Taichang Cheng. As Deng Meng's right-hand man, he is a very suitable candidate."

Chen Zhi observed and summarized the characteristics of several people, and soon noticed Sun Jiang's personality. At the same time, he also discovered that although Wang Kong put forward the most opinions, few of them were actually adopted. Instead, it was the Taimiao Ling Liu State.

Liu Guo was about the same age as Wang Kong, but he seemed calm and capable. Chen Zhi also heard that this person was born in a royal family, but his ancestors had long been ruined. He relied on the filial and honest official career and then used his identity as a royal family to consolidate the foundation of the officialdom.

Now, after several discussions by several people, the opinions he put forward were quickly recognized by Sun Jiang and most of them were adopted.

At the same time, Chen Zhi also noticed a detail, that is, before Sun Jiang finalized the matter, he would ask the doctor of Taichang Xun Jing. The latter had no objection and confirmed it with Zhu Shuang before nodding.

"The prestige and family background of Xunjing should be the leader among the Taichang officials. Although he doesn't say much, he cannot be ignored. There is also Zhu Shuang. This person seems to be only recording, but obviously also has a status. When Ji Fa, the commander of Mingtang, did not speak much, and he could tell that he was studying and remembering."

After a simple observation, Chen Zhi also found it interesting that there is actually an ecosystem from the inside out among the officials of Taichang, maintaining a certain balance.

"If I want to accomplish things, I cannot be restrained. It is best to have help. The best choice is to integrate into this official ecology and form a link. Well, I can think about what kind of roles are missing among them, and then give myself a positioning."

On this side, Chen Zhi was planning how to integrate into the small group. After the initial negotiations, everyone also had a general plan, and then Sun Jiang looked at Chen Zhi.
