Invasion of the martial arts world

Chapter 345 A Piano Sound for the Prefect
"Daddy just asks him to let him know. Why does my daughter invite him?" Cai Yan asked curiously.

Cai Yong shook his head and did not speak. He has lived in the court for many years, and he can understand many things. Chen Mo left after playing the piano. There are many officials in the court. He didn't make friends because he didn't want to hang himself in a certain place on the party;
The foreign relatives represented by He Jin and others, the eunuch party controlled by Zhang Rang and others, and the party members composed of famous families like them, it is best for Chen Mo not to belong to somewhere for the time being, at least he has a job right now. No right, less trouble to get involved in the chaos of the Yellow Turban uprising.

Cai Yong wanted to make friends with Chen Mo, apart from wanting to see his ability, he wanted to draw him to the side of the party members. As for whether he had other ideas, he was going to ask Yang Ci, the leader of the party members in Luoyang at this time.

Here Cai Yong had the idea of ​​​​wanting to win over Chen Mo. At the General's Mansion, He Jin scratched his head and asked the Huangmen servant next to him:
"Gongda, who is this Chen Tianxing? Why is the whole city of Luoyang talking about him within a day, what kind of fairy music is so exciting? What is his origin?"

He Jin looks very mighty, with bright eyes and a rosy complexion, but talking about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting is like killing him, and the servant of the Huangmen next to him is weak and delicate, with deep eyes and resourceful, known as the public. He was Xun You, one of Cao Cao's counselors, and when he heard He Jin's question, he smiled and said:
"Chen Tianxing is Chen Mo, the captain of Beihai County, who went to the General's Mansion to report on his duties a month ago and wait for his dispatch. Today he is playing Gongda in the tavern, and his piano sound is indeed like fairy music."

"Oh, it's Chen Mo, who Jiao He said has killed more than [-] thieves. Haven't I arranged for him yet?" He Jin said with a cold light in his eyes.

"No, the general said he wanted to suppress his arrogance before he was appointed. It has been more than a month since he was put down." Xun You said with a slight smile.

The corner of He Jin's eyes twitched slightly, he walked back and forth a few times and suddenly said:

"With his current reputation, there should be many people visiting him, right?"

"Of course, whether he is a celebrity or a high-ranking official, Chen Mo is now well-known, and it is an honor to meet him." Xun You glanced at He Jin's back and said.

"Where are those dead eunuchs?" He Jin stopped to look at Xun You and asked.

Xun You thought for a while and said:

"Now Zhang Rang and others have sold their officials a lot. If we can get in touch with famous people like Chen Mo, it may make their reputation better. But I don't know Chen Mo's character. If he wants to ask for an official, it's hard to tell. .”

He Jin nodded. Chen Mo wiped out dozens of bandits in Beihai and Donglai. This kind of credit has been reported to him many times. If he is promoted normally, Chen Mo is at least a captain of a continent with thousands of troops. If he leaves Zhang Rang It will be difficult for him, a great general, to command Chen Mo in the future if he obtains an official position through someone else's network.

"Where is there a suitable military vacancy for Chen Mo at this time?" He Jin asked in a low voice.

"This military position is hard to find at this time, but there has been no one to replace the prefect of Donglai County in Qingzhou, and Chen Mo has fallen into Donglai. If the general finds this position for him, I think he will listen to the general if he has something to do in the future. Order." Xun You said with twinkling eyes.

"Okay, it's just a prefect of a remote place. I will write to the emperor and ask him to order him to be the post of prefect of Donglai County, so that those boring people will not try to win him over again." He Jin said with a sneer.

A prefect of a county is nothing to He Jin, but to countless people in the court, it is a real shortage.

He Jin said to do it, so he hurriedly wrote the memorial excitedly. By the way, he asked Xun You to write down Chen Mo's meritorious deeds for more than a year, and he hurried to the palace.

After He Jin left the General's Mansion, Xun You twitched slightly and said in a cold voice:
"Chen Tianxing is proudly independent in his piano music, he would fight with others, but this way he got mixed up with the post of prefect, which is unexpected;

He Jin didn't want the eunuch and family to get someone with such a reputation as Chen Mo. It seems that they are not too long away from tearing up their faces, but now that the world is in turmoil and the Taiping Sect is the scourge of everything, it's a pity that those in power don't want to report it. This matter, what, what, what"

In Chen Mo's courtyard, Tai Shici and Wu Anguo were talking about the news they heard everywhere today, no matter in the tavern or in the street, the only topic was about Chen Mo's fairy music;

Chen Mo was very entangled when he heard it, so he didn't dare to run around these days, but he had to wait for orders in Luoyang, or he would just go back to Beihai.

"My lord, why are you so famous that you are still frowning, if I wait, you will laugh in your heart." Wu Anguo looked at Chen Mo's tangled face and said with a smile.

"Fame is tiring, especially false fame. You and I are both military generals. What's the point of having such false fame?" Chen Mo took a water bottle from the table and took a big gulp.

However, such a little thing as playing the guqin is of no interest to Chen Mo. If he shows his ability in painting and calligraphy, the whole world will probably be amazed by it.

He thinks it's a vain name, but at the end of the Han Dynasty, it was just the time when a vain name was needed. Countless people with vain names held high positions, but those who were capable and resourceful could only help others. Xun You's IQ was higher than that of He Jin, who was born as a pig butcher. Several times, with unique vision and wisdom, he can only be a servant under He Jin now.

Numerous Confucian scholars acted as parents and officials, just like Jiao He, a useless scholar who can do nothing but have a good reputation.

Chen Mo's reputation gradually spread outward from Luoyang again. Most of the time, people mentioned Qin and rarely mentioned his military exploits, which shows how biased the scholars' views on reputation are.

Both Tai Shici and Wu Anguo are determined to follow Chen Mo, even if they are being scolded and calculated for a while, they don't care, Chen Mo said that they will wait patiently if there is an opportunity, and they came to the door of Chen's house early in the next morning A small yellow gate that preaches imperial edicts.

"By heaven, the emperor of the Han Dynasty said: In the sixth year of Guanghe, the general reported that Chen Mo, the captain of the Beihai County, had repeatedly made military exploits. After investigation, it was all true. All our Han officials who made meritorious deeds will be rewarded. This decree is to promote Chen Mo to Donglai County. The prefect, with a rank ratio of [-] shi, will rush to Donglai immediately after receiving the order to take up his post."

Chen Mo took the imperial decree and asked Tai Shici to stuff a few pieces of red gold into Xiaohuangmen. When he thought that the red copper ingot could be used as money, Chen Mo burst into laughter. Fortunately, he didn't spend the gold in his hands. It's only tens of thousands of yuan per ton. If he had known that he would come to the Han Dynasty, he would have bought tens of thousands of tons of copper ingots and made a fortune in this world.
