053, the generation of pickled sang, actually coveted the body of this son
Logically speaking, Zuo Feng should sit on his knees to entertain guests.
But Zuo Feng may have despised Chen Yuan, or he may not feel comfortable kneeling down.
So, Zuo Feng sat on the bed.
The actual reason is because today's Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty likes it.
According to records: Emperor Ling loved Hu clothes, Hu tents, Hu beds, Hu seats, Hu rice, Hu konghou, Hu flutes, and Hu dances, and all the nobles in Kyoto competed for them.
Chen Yuan is not a professional in history, so how could he know this?
I just thought that Zuo Feng was looking down on himself.
However, Chen Yuan didn't care very much. People who were about to die didn't need to care too much.
Chen Yuan bowed and saluted: "Yuan came here at the invitation and met Zuo Gong."
Zuo Feng nodded, raised his hand, and motioned for Chen Yuan to get up.
"Chen Yuan, have you brought everything?"
Chen Yuan waved his hand and signaled Tian Chong and Xu Heng to carry the box in: "Mr. Zuo, they are all here."
With that said, he motioned to Tian Chong and Xu Heng to open the box. As the box was opened, a dazzling golden light flashed through, and a few hundred taels of gold was placed in front of Zuo Feng.
Not to mention that Zuo Feng, who was greedy for money by nature, was confused. Chen Yuan was also a little confused.
It's just that he wasn't confused much with Zuo Feng, he was confused because of distress.
This one thousand taels of gold was more than half of the wealth he had accumulated from searching for gold in the past few months, and his heart almost hurt to death.
If it weren't for the fact that Liu Bei's official position and title were related to the future strategic direction, Chen Yuan would never have spent so much money.
It's harmful. If you don't want to let the child catch the wolf, just treat it as feeding the dog.
Zuo Feng's eyes almost pierced into the box, but fortunately he still had some clarity in his mind. He knew that the money was not for him.
Chen Yuan has already given me the money to buy the road.
Although these eunuchs sell their jobs, they still have a pretty good reputation. As long as the money is available, they will definitely get you an official position.
The main reason is not how honest they are, but that the big boss of this business is none other than today.
This emperor who loves doing business attaches great importance to this business. If anyone dares to make trouble or reach out randomly, there will only be one end, that is, death.
Therefore, even though Zuo Feng was very greedy for the gold, he would never dare to reach out.
Reluctantly looking away from the gold, Zuo Feng looked at Chen Yuan: "Yes, just put the gold here. I will definitely speak kindly for you in front of Zhang Changshi."
Chen Yuan thanked him: "Thank you very much, Mr. Zuo. I just have one more request, which I hope Mr. Zuo can agree to."
Zuo Feng frowned: "What's the request?"
Chen Yuan said: "In the future, after the Yellow Turbans are pacified, when the emperor awards rewards, it will be enough that Zhang Gong and other princes do not object, and there is no need for further intervention."
After hearing this, Zuo Feng felt relieved at first, and then he had doubts: "You spend so much money just to buy us not to interfere. Why is that?"
Why?
Of course I'm afraid that my reputation will be ruined.
But you definitely can’t say that, otherwise you’ll fall out on the spot.
Fortunately, Chen Yuan had already made preparations: "The Yellow Turbans were pacified, and many people were rewarded. Yuan and others were also afraid that the princes would work too hard, so they took this step. I would like to ask for your advice."
After listening to Chen Yuan's words, Zuo Feng was deeply moved.
Finally, outsiders can understand the suffering of people like us.
I really thought selling an official position was a good job, but it was also very hard.
The emperor must be satisfied at the top, and the people who want to buy the official position at the bottom must be satisfied. If you don't do it well, you will be blamed by both sides, which is very difficult.
Zuo Feng nodded with satisfaction: "You are very good, would you like to be Zhang Gong's adopted son?"
Chen Yuan was stunned for a moment.
Damn it?
What the hell?
Want me to be Zhang Rang's adopted son?
Are you afraid that I will die too slowly?
This is definitely not acceptable.
But if you refuse too bluntly, you may offend these eunuchs.
These eunuchs are definitely experts at succeeding but failing, and they only need to say a few words in front of the emperor to ruin your good deeds.
Therefore, you must be tactful and make these eunuchs feel that they are not worthy.
Thinking of this, Chen Yuan had an idea in his mind.
Chen Yuan made a look of fear: "Zuo Gong has such a favorable eye for Yuan. Yuan was so frightened that he should have bowed his head and bowed down to protect Zuo Gong's good intentions. However, Yuan, a scholar with a meager life of three feet and a humble family,
If you have no achievements to show off your family, and you have the highest virtues to establish yourself, how dare you be the righteous son of Zhang Gong? This will bring shame to Zhang Gong and embarrass Zuo Gong. Therefore, Yuan is resigning. When Yuan's moral character and merits are enough in the future, he will worship him.
I am a disciple of Duke Zhang, and I have listened to Duke Zhang’s teachings, but I also asked Duke Zuo to inspect him.”
Chen Yuan's desire to live was already full. In order not to be adopted as an adopted son by these eunuchs, he kept saying bad things about his moral character.
After listening to Chen Yuan's words, Zuo Feng also felt that his move was a bit abrupt.
This adopted son is not something to be taken lightly, and must be done with caution.
We still don't know the true situation of Chen Yuan. If we let Zhang Changshi accept this boy as his adopted son, if something goes wrong in the future, he will be punished.
Therefore, upon hearing Chen Yuan's resignation, Zuo Feng was secretly relieved.
"In that case, let's discuss this later."
Chen Yuan also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. Good guy, he almost got himself sent in by giving away money. What a joke.
Zuo Feng asked his servants to carry the box down. Looking at Chen Yuan's handsome face, the thoughts in his heart grew again.
Zuo Feng stood up in front of Chen Yuan, and said in a soft voice with a sharp voice: "Zi Chu, I saw that you are handsome and talented, and I feel that we two hit it off right away. You would like to talk with me tonight by candlelight."
And sleep?"
At this moment, Chen Yuan finally cursed in his heart.
Damn it!
Damn eunuch, you are so evil, you are still trying to kill me.
Chen Yuan felt sick in his heart when he thought of such disgusting things.
With great perseverance, Chen Yuan resisted the nausea and said with a smile on his face: "Yuan was very happy to invite Zuo Gong. I should have expressed my feelings to Zuo Gong, but the teacher has strict orders, and I cannot do any good deeds every day."
If you don't let it go, you will suffer physical pain. Zuo Gong doesn't want Yuan to be punished by the teacher, so he can only live up to Zuo Gong's good intentions."
Zuo Feng was a little unhappy, but he still asked patiently: "Who is your teacher?"
Chen Yuan raised his hand and said, "Master Chen Liu, Cai Yong, and Cai Bojie."
Zuo Feng was stunned.
Cai Yong?
Taixue offers wine.
He originally wanted to forcefully keep Chen Yuan, but he suddenly gave up the idea.
Because Cai Yong, an old man, doesn't seem to have much power, but he can meet the emperor. Once the emperor knows what he has done, he will definitely not be in a good situation.
It's a pity that such a handsome young man has missed this opportunity.
Zuo Feng waved his hand half-heartedly: "Since there is a strict order from Cai Jijiu, I won't keep you any longer. You can go. I'm not feeling well, so I'll send you far away."
With that said, Zuo Feng turned his back.
When Chen Yuan heard this, he was amnesty: "In this case, Yuan will retire."
After saying that, he took a few steps back, then turned around and left.
