Chapter Sixteen Night Interview with Huo Tie
Chen Chen responded with a smile. A large part of these servants were servants from the Qingchuan family. They served the Shen family for generations. The relationship was no longer as simple as the master and servant. They had a different kind of identity. Family affection, some old people were filled with tears when they saw Chen Chen.
When grandpa Chen Dinghai, uncle Chen Xuyuan and mother Chen Qiuyue drove out, all three of them were in tears. Chen Qiuyue hugged his son tightly in his arms, gently stroked his face, looked at him seriously, and asked. He was bleeding and injured when he fought on the battlefield.
Chen Chen was also moved when his family reunites. No matter how long he spent his time outside, no matter how outstanding his achievements he made, no matter how many people praised him, he could not compare to his family's words. Because of this, no matter what he used The method must also protect the family.
After sitting down in the hall, Chen Chen learned from his grandfather that it was the imperial edict issued by the emperor, asking them to move their family here. Moreover, the emperor also personally ordered Chen Xuyuan to be dispatched to Ba. The Ministry of Personnel was appointed as a sixth-rank official.
Chen Xuyuan was highly regarded by the county magistrate Zhou Tai in the county town, and his official position was not low. However, he jumped to the eighth ministry and was even named a sixth-rank official, which was naturally an opportunity he could never imagine.
In addition, Zhao Zhongchong, the Minister of Personnel, personally ordered some children of the Shen family and transferred them to county towns near Zhongzhou to serve.
Compared with the other five states, those who can serve in county towns here must have a certain background. Zhao Zhongchong can do this, so naturally It was due to his ability, but it was also a valuation of Chen Chen.
When Chen Dinghai asked about the matter of recognizing his ancestors, Chen Chen had made a mistake in his mother's presence, and when his mother went to rest, he told the matter out.
Chen Dinghai was furious when he heard this. He had been out of his daughter for many years, and was very pleased with a grandson like Chen Chen. Although he felt a little regretful when he saw his family despising his family so much. , but I will never bow to my family because of this.
After that, Chen Chen rested at home until the evening of that day.
As night fell, Chen Chen first went to the Huo family. The Huo family mansion was located on East Street outside the Imperial City. The closer this official mansion was to the Imperial City, the higher its status and the greater its background.
The Huo family is not only a thousand-year-old family, but also a founding hero of Bazhou. Today, the contemporary head Huo Tie is the current national uncle and a first-rank general in the country. His status is unmatched in the court and the opposition.
The Huo Mansion is extraordinary. You can see many halls emerging from afar. The flying beasts are only lower than the royal specifications. Outside the Huo Mansion, the two giant stone sculptures on both ends are like living creatures, tightly He stared at the passing people. Although the East Street was all officials, no matter who passed by the Huo family, he would not make loud noises, and even had to get off the horse and sedan chair to show respect.
The vermillion gate of the mansion was closed, and there were two small doors on both sides. The gate was specially opened for royal relatives and important officials. In addition, no matter how many official ranks came, they would go through the small door. In addition, there were two servants from the Lehuo family, each with his chest raised and his head raised, his eyes full of arrogance.
Although they are just servants of the Huo family and have no official status or qualities, they are objects that ordinary officials dare not provoke. After all, beating dogs depends on the owner.
Chen Chen naturally didn't need to please these servants. After all, his current identity was different. As soon as he spoke out his name, a line of arrogant servants was shocked. After all, the young man held millions of heavy troops. The incident of sweeping across the Cangmo Kingdom is familiar. Although it does not have a family background, it is a celebrity in front of the emperor today, and is beyond the comparison of ordinary officials.
Moreover, Huo Tie had already given instructions, and if Chen Chen came, he would bring him in immediately.
When you walk into Huo Mansion, you will only lay jade bricks on the ground and the trees will hang golden leaves. You will see that you are magnificent and magnificent, which makes you feel as if you are rich enough to compete with the country. With the background of the Huo family and the power of Huo Tie, you can do it. The richer ones are, the richer ones are, but it seems too vulgar, which makes people think of how many shameful things the Huo family has done in private in order to get this golden mountain of wealth, which is even more unrelated to honesty. relation.
If the power of the Huo family continues to grow, if the eldest prince really ascends the throne in the future, the Huo family will definitely be in great power and the consequences of one party being dominant have been proven in history.
However, Chen Chen now had to please the general of the country because with his current identity and power, he could not fight against this person at all.
After entering the hall and sitting down, a servant came to serve tea. The pillars in the hall were all wrapped in gold foil, and all the furniture was made of jade. Even the tea cups that drank water were made of jade. , made by top craftsmen, naturally, this tea is not something that ordinary people can drink.
After waiting for a while, Huo Tie, who was wearing casual clothes, walked out of the side corridor with a hearty laughter. Chen Chen immediately stood up, saluted respectfully, and called General Huo.
When Huo Tie sat down, Chen Chen handed over a long wooden box he brought with him and said, "This is a famous name that he will find in the treasure house of the city of Shazhou. Of course, only General Huo can be worthy of it."
Chen Chen came from Shazhou all the way, and although he seized the time, he was not at the point of racing against time. After all, even if he dared to leave the front line, he had a confident understanding of the situation on the front line. It was rare to go back to the imperial city, and he was not empty-handed. And going there was just saying that I never expected Huo Tie's invitation to come to the imperial city.
Huo Tie took the long wooden box and opened it. It was a long sheathed sword inside, five feet long. Its sheath is made of simple and carved with dragon and tiger patterns, emitting a dark light.
Holding the handle of the knife and pulling it out, a cold light suddenly shone. It seemed that the lights hanging in the entire hall were suppressed. The knife was half a foot away. When I saw the words engraved on the knife, I Tie couldn't help but lit up and said, "This is... the 'soul-killing' battle knife created by Wu Tieshou, the first craftsman in Middle Earth, a thousand years ago!"
Chen Chen smiled and said, "That is, it is said that Wu Tiezhe is a top master in the martial arts world, and he is also skilled in the channel technique. The weapons he forged have the power to kill evil and eliminate evil, and there are three of them. One of them is the Soul-killing Sword weighing 2,000 pounds!"
This soul-killing sword is indeed a famous weapon. Chen Chen originally wanted to keep it for himself, but now, in order to please General Huo, he has to bear the pain of giving up his love. After all, the famous sword he obtained is not counted as a siege. Few, you can charge the numbers by just taking a handful.
"Good knife, Lord Shen is intent." Huo Tie smiled, but he had seen too many worlds and only looked at the sword a few more times, then put it aside.
Then, Huo Tie asked, "I heard that Your Majesty has brought Lord Shen's family to your mansion?"
"That's right." Chen Chen replied.
Huo Tie said with a generous look: "That mansion is newly built, and there should not be much furniture. I will have too much furniture in this mansion. Tell me what you value. I will send someone to deliver it immediately. You go up to your house.”
You should know that these furniture are of extraordinary texture, with gold and beads inlaid, and without the price of this craft, it would be enough for a hundred taels of gold. The salary of third-rank officials is only four or five hundred taels a year. In fact, it is still very reliable. In addition to this, the emperor rewards are to make money privately.
Of course, if you want to catch up with cities and land like Chen Chen, you will naturally be a lot of them. But even so, such expensive furniture cannot be used.
Chen Chen knew that Huo Tie was winning over him, but he had never really wanted to stand on Huo Tie's side, so he said, "How dare I use such expensive furniture? Is it possible to cause gossip."
Huo Tie laughed out loud and said meaningfully: "Mr. Shen can also be called magnificent when he sees my furniture? Although I am a first-class general, my salary is only 1,000 taels of silver a year. Then do you know where these furniture come from?”
"This..." Chen Chen hesitated for a moment, thinking about what this sentence means.
Huo Tie smiled deeply and said, "What's important is not where these furniture come from, but that they have such a luxury house, but no one dares to ask about it! Not to mention the old men of the Ministry of Justice, even the emperor is open to the affairs of the Huo family. Close one eye and the other, this is power!”
Chen Chen nodded slightly. Huo Tie said it was a big truth. This person was clearly a big greed, but no one dared to care about it.
Huo Tie said seriously: "Chen Chen, you are in a high position now and hold millions of military power. This is a miracle among the young people of today, especially those without an identity background. But this tree attracts wind, do you know How many people are coveting and jealous of your position? And how many people have the ability to pull you off from this position?”
"I will understand." Chen Chen replied. Indeed, if he hadn't been the identity of King Fu of Qinglan, he would have been replaced by someone. But even so, everything he got now was because he got it. The emperor's valuation, but the emperor also had to consider the power balance between his subordinates, which was why the emperor would not hand over more military power to his own hands.
Huo Tie said: "The so-called "one tree can't support the beam". With your own strength, it is not so easy to gain a foothold in the imperial city. Therefore, it is natural for Ming ministers to choose a master. You should know that the eldest prince is the most important now. There are countless candidates who are qualified to inherit the throne, and the people who are dependent on it, and the love and cherishing of talents is what the people want. Therefore, I believe that as smart as you will join the camp that supports the eldest prince, right?"
