The Nameless of the Common Clans

"Eat." Chen Mo invited Xu Fu to have a meal with him in the side hall of the government office. Dian Wei put a bowl of corn and some boiled vegetables in front of Xu Fu and looked at Xu Fu with a bit of admiration.

He was originally wanted to avenge a friend's murder. When he met Xu Fu, who suffered the same fate, he naturally had a little more empathy and was quite kind to Xu Fu.

"I'm going to wash up later." Chen Mo saw that the other party didn't say a word, so he wasn't embarrassed. He said with a smile and then started to eat.

Dian Wei, on the other hand, did not eat. He just kept chattering to Xu Fu: "Don't worry, no one will harm you here. You should eat and drink. If anyone dares to catch you, I will twist off his head."

"Dian Wei?" Chen Mo put down his job helplessly and looked at Dian Wei.

"Here!" Dian Wei bowed subconsciously.

"Today's meal is not to your liking?" Chen Mo asked.

"Not bad." Dian Wei looked at the pieces of meat in the bowl. Being able to eat meat every time was definitely a life of wealth in this era.

"The Master said: Don't talk when you eat or sleep!" Chen Mo said angrily.

"Ah?" Dian Wei looked at Chen Mo inexplicably. Why did he suddenly pull the text?

"This general is asking you to shut up." Xu Fu was probably frightened by Dian Wei, so he looked up at Dian Wei and said speechlessly.

"Can you speak?" Dian Wei looked at Xu Fu in astonishment.

Xu Fu ignored him and silently picked up the corn rice and ate the cooked vegetables. Although he was a little embarrassed, he still followed the etiquette of eating and ate one bite at a time, but at a faster speed. It seemed that he was really hungry.

"I have already read your file." After eating, Chen Mo wiped his mouth, looked at Xu Fu and said, "Should I call you Xu Fu or Xu Shu?"

Xu Fu is his real name, and Xu Shu is his pseudonym after committing the crime.

"The general just calls me Xu Shu." The other party bowed his hand to Chen Mo and said, "I haven't thanked the general for his help yet."

Chen Mo nodded and didn't say much more about this matter. Instead, he smiled and said: "You have extraordinary swordsmanship and a chivalrous style. You can fight for your friends, but your words and conversation are quite restrained. You are not like an ordinary ranger. "

"Some family knowledge." Xu Shu didn't avoid it. He was a member of a poor family. As for being a good martial artist, he came to the land of Yingchuan. There were aristocratic families all over the place, and the knowledge of the family was deeper. Apart from a few bamboo slips in his family collection, he had no other education. Secondly, he has a free and uninhibited personality, and he is easy to make friends and deal with injustices.

"No wonder." Chen Mo looked at Xu Shu carefully. Although he was disheveled, his bearing was extraordinary. He smiled and said, "Do you know who I am?"

"My lord is the newly appointed Guang Luxun. He is the governor of Hedong and Yin of Henan. He is also the commander of the school." Dian Wei couldn't help but raise his head and said.

Looking at his proud look, someone who didn't know it thought he was talking about himself.

Chen Mo: "..."

Xu Shu: "..."

"That's all, tell me what books you have read." Chen Mo didn't want to talk about this anymore, so he decided to talk about areas that Dian Wei didn't understand. This idiot sometimes interrupted and people really didn't know how to continue.

"The family has a volume of Spring and Autumn, and I admire the style of Spring and Autumn." Xu Shu nodded.

"Times are different. The ancients left books to let us know our minds and see our nature, rather than to learn from the ancients. The times have changed, and ordinary people's thoughts have also changed. From today's perspective, if we imitate the chivalrous spirit of the Spring and Autumn Period, it violates the law. The law is inevitable. Hundreds of years have passed since the Spring and Autumn Period. Times have changed, and many things that were right at the time are wrong today. "

"So, the general's belief that aiding Jie would lead to abuse seems correct now?" Xu Shu asked rhetorically.

Chen Mo helped Dong Zhuo pacify Hedong and blocked the Baibo bandits in Baibo Valley, which relieved Dong Zhuo from worries. In the eyes of many people, although Chen Mo's move was to quell the bandits, it also helped Dong Zhuo.

"First of all, everything I do is for the court and the Han Dynasty, never for individuals." Chen Mo nodded at the table, shook his head and smiled: "Secondly, Dong Zhuo may not be wrong, and the princes may not be righteous. "Have you ever thought about why Dong Zhuo killed King Hongnong? I can guarantee that if the princes had not rebelled, King Hongnong would have lived well."

"So, the general thinks King Hongnong deserves to die?" Xu Shu sneered.

"Or it can be said to be fate. I don't believe that many princes in the world can't see this clearly, but they still do it. Therefore, in their eyes, King Hongnong is not important. Of course, King Hongnong does not deserve to die. Dong Zhuo Doing this will only make the princes' comeback more reasonable. To put it more darkly, the princes actually want him to die," Chen Mozhen said.

"I've heard for a long time that the general is good at eloquence. When I saw it today, it was extraordinary." Xu Shu sighed. He had always considered himself smart. When facing Chen Mo today, not only was he unable to refute, he even felt that what Chen Mo said was reasonable, so he simply kept silent. .

"Then let's talk about the Spring and Autumn Period. Nowadays, it seems that there are quite a few similarities with the Spring and Autumn Period." Chen Mo couldn't help but laugh when he saw Xu Shu shut up. This man is quite interesting. He is not very talented, but his thinking is quite good. In order to be agile, he deliberately guided him. He seemed to have noticed it and stopped the topic in time. If such a person can read more books, he will achieve great results in the future.

However, he obviously did not have a good reputation in Yingchuan. Even though he was a prisoner, Xu Shu always rejected Chen Mo from the beginning to the end. Chen Mo simply stopped talking about these things and talked about the Spring and Autumn Period with Xu Shu, and then from the Spring and Autumn Period. The evolution of various political systems in the Warring States and Pre-Qin Dynasties, the rise and fall of various academic schools, and the processes and internal causes of the rise or decline of various countries.

Chen Mo has learned a lot, and has also studied the art of war and ancient and modern laws. At this moment, he can draw from many sources and pick them up at his fingertips, and finally return to the current situation.

Although Xu Shu felt that Chen Mo was a traitor, he admired Chen Mo's talent. From beginning to end, Chen Mo did not say anything profound, but just talked about the succession of the era from the Spring and Autumn Period to the Warring States Period and then to the Qin and Han Dynasties. Then he compared the present with the ancient times. After careful thinking, it was indeed as Chen Mo said, the local power was increasing, and the court's control over the local areas was becoming weaker and weaker.

The aristocratic families hid their household registration, and the court could only continue to increase taxes. If it was just like this, the Han Dynasty would still have the possibility of continuing, but several major events that happened last year, or in other words, since the death of the previous emperor, the Han Dynasty's fate began to fall towards the depth of destruction.

In the final analysis, it is impossible to blame Chen Mo for the current scene. According to Chen Mo's theory, Chen Mo has been trying to stabilize the court, but in the face of the general trend of the world, how can a powerless teenager stop it?

If this is true, Chen Mo is not a traitor, but a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty. He is fighting against the whole world. If this is the case, then everyone has wrongly blamed this person... No, it's because he blocked the interests of many people, so he is not integrated into the scholars.

Thinking of this, Xu Shu couldn't help but have some respect for Chen Mo.

"The general is knowledgeable, and I admire him very much." Xu Shu did not immediately bow down, but bowed to Chen Mo and said: "But I am not very knowledgeable, I don't know if what the general said is true. If the general is willing to believe me, please let me go to study. When I finish my studies, I will still confirm that what the general said today is unnecessary. I am willing to swear allegiance to him until death!"

"Study?" Chen Mo nodded and said: "With your talent, you should really cherish it. Have you ever thought about becoming a disciple?"

"This..." Xu Shu heard this and shook his head with a wry smile. It is very difficult for him, a child from a poor family, to have the opportunity to become a disciple.

"If not, I can recommend someone for you, but I don't know if you are willing." Chen Mo smiled.

"This..." Xu Shu naturally felt that this was Chen Mo's way of keeping him, but it was not easy to refuse directly, so he just asked: "Who is this famous scholar?"

"Cai Yong, Cai Bojie, have you heard of them?" Chen Mo asked with a smile.

"But Mr. Bojie, who is known for his outstanding flying white?" Xu Shu was shocked when he heard this, and stood up suddenly.

Originally, he had prepared to refuse no matter who Chen Mo recommended, but he couldn't refuse the name Chen Mo said.

Cai Yong is a great scholar of the time. If you say that his background may not be considered a crime of the time, at least it is much worse than the Yuan family, which has three officials for four generations, but his attainments and reputation in Confucianism are the best in the world. Being able to worship Cai Yong is the dream of many scholars. Since Xu Shu has a heart to learn, how can he not know this person?

"That's right." Chen Mo nodded and smiled.

"How can the general guarantee that Mr. Cai is willing to accept me?" Xu Shu calmed down and asked.

"That old man wants to recruit my master as his son-in-law!" Dian Wei finally heard a sentence that he could understand, and couldn't help but say.

Chen Mo: "..."

The cold eyes fell on Dian Wei, which scared Dian Wei and muttered: "That's right."

"Don't listen to this fool's nonsense." Chen Mo rubbed his temples and looked at Xu Shu and said: "I have some personal relationship with Bo Jigong, and Bo Jigong also intends to marry his daughter, but he has not obtained the permission of my mother. I dare not make the decision on this marriage."

"Naturally." Xu Shu's mind was a little confused. Cai Yong would actually choose Chen Mo as his son-in-law. This made Xu Shu feel that Chen Mo's previous words were much more credible.

Just looking at Xu Shu's expression, Chen Mo knew that this matter could not be explained, and he could only ask helplessly: "Are you willing?"

"If I can worship under Mr. Cai, I am willing." Xu Shu said hurriedly, and his tone was much more respectful.

"Go take a bath, and come with me to see someone tomorrow. If you become a disciple of Bo Jigong, you will have some connection with this person." Chen Mo stood up and said with a smile.

"Yes!" Xu Shu nodded, and now he was not so resistant to Chen Mo's words.

"I'll take you there!" Dian Wei saw that Chen Mo's face was not right, and hurriedly stood up and wanted to follow him out.

"No need, someone will take you there, you stay! I need you to do something." Chen Mo looked at Dian Wei and smiled very kindly.

"Uh..." Dian Wei's burly body froze, and he turned his head awkwardly to look at Chen Mo: "What's the matter, lord?"

"Practice with me, only defense, not attack." Chen Mo took off his outer robe and stretched his arms.

"Ah!?"
