The Nameless of the Common Clans

"That Sima Yi is quite clever." After the banquet, Chen Mo walked back accompanied by Xun You and said with a smile.

"He is indeed a talent, but you don't understand. Since the lord is wary of this person, why not keep him at home instead of bringing him back to the court?" Xun You looked at Chen Mo in confusion and asked, wouldn't there be more opportunities in the court.

"Are you wary?" Chen Mo shook his head: "Actually, there is no need to be wary. Since he is a talent, he must use it. If he is put somewhere, it will give him a chance to cultivate his own confidants. But in the imperial court, there is always someone who can overwhelm him. Secondly, we can let him do many things that are inconvenient for us. "

There are many people around Chen Mo who can suppress or check Sima Yi. Jia Xu, Li Ru, Xun You, and Xu Shu are not as talented as Sima Yi. Even in terms of sophistication, the current Sima Yi is still inferior. After all, Jia Xu, Li Ru, Xun You, and Xu Shu are not as good as him. Regardless, who has not followed Chen Mo for many years and personally planned or participated in many things. The accumulation of experience alone is far beyond Sima Yi. Therefore, although he is somewhat disgusted with Sima Yi's destiny, this talent still needs to be used.

Sima Yi is very smart. Chen Mo has been guarding Sima for a long time. Today, he took the initiative to propose the title of king. Although it failed, Chen Mo did not think about making the king now. This matter has to be done step by step. But Sima Yi took the initiative, which is equivalent to Attracting the hatred of those who protect Han.

Chen Mo climbed up from the bottom step by step. He knows very well what he needs to achieve success. He will reuse Sima Yi, but just like Yang Ping, he doesn't want fame, and he will not give Sima Yi the opportunity to contact the army. , if this drags on for decades, even if Sima Yi becomes the third prince by then, he will no longer pose any threat to Chen Mo.

"My lord is wise!" Xun You also understood and smiled at Chen Mo.

"Go and inform Boning that Sima Fang and Yang Biao can be released." Chen Mo said with a smile: "Yang Biao will continue to serve as Taiwei, and Sima Fang will succeed Zirou as Situ."

Xun You understood that although he was ranked third, the reputation of the Sima family would be ruined. Chen Mo's move was quite cruel to the Sima family.

"In addition, we should find as soon as possible an official who can succeed Yuan and directly serve as the governor of Qingzhou. The court is short of people." Chen Mo said with a smile.

"Here!" Xun You nodded. The position of governor of Qingzhou was not selected from the imperial court, but from prefects from various places. If his political performance was outstanding, but there was a real shortage on the imperial court's side, after returning to the imperial court in a few years, at least he would be selected. These few high-ranking officials at the ministerial level have come to an end, so this time Xun You is going to choose from some older people. The power and salary of the current governor of the state are different from those before. The salary is half higher than that of the prefect. Ranking not only has the duty of supervising the prefects of each county, but also coordinates county affairs. The officials of each county are promoted and appointed. Starting from county officials, they can only be promoted or appointed with the consent of the governor of the state.

The two said goodbye at the intersection. Chen Mo went straight to the palace as soon as he came back today and hosted the dinner. He hadn't seen his wife and children since this time. Now that everything was done, he felt a little impatient.

"Lao Dian, I'll give you a day off today, go and reunite with your family." Chen Mo looked at Dian Wei beside him and said with a smile.

"Lord, what about your safety..." Dian Wei was indeed homesick, but Chen Mo's safety issue could not be ignored.

"Don't worry!" Chen Mo waved his hand. Dian Wei was shocked to find that there were many figures on the walls in all directions. Chen Mo smiled and said: "This is Luoyang. I'm afraid not many can hurt me."

From the moment he entered Luoyang, there were no more than a hundred people secretly guarding Chen Mo, but these people usually would not show up.

"General, please leave!" When Dian Wei saw these people, he nodded happily and left.

Chen Mo signaled the secret guards to continue hiding, and he led his guards straight to the general's mansion.

"Woof woof~" Chen Mo came home. Cai Yan, Zhen Mi, Yun Si, Juan'er, and Diao Chan were already waiting with the stewards and servants. Their mother and Heizi also came to welcome them. However, they hadn't seen each other for several years. Heizi was obviously a little unfamiliar with Chen Mo. He barked wildly when we met him, and he became honest after being kicked by his mother.

"Mother!" Chen Mo hurriedly stepped forward and bowed to his mother. Looking at his mother's thin face, he said with some bitterness: "Why have you lost weight?"

"My son is away on an expedition and has been away for three years. How can I not be worried as a mother?" Mother Chen took Chen Mo's hand, stretched out her hand to carefully touch Chen Mo's face, and said leisurely: "My son has also lost a lot of weight. "

"The child leads the troops into battle. The child eats whatever the soldiers eat. It is not good to eat delicacies all day long. What does this make the soldiers think?" Chen Mo looked at the increasingly obvious wrinkles on his mother's face and felt a little sour in his heart. Unknowingly, , the mother is old.

"Madam, dinner is ready..." A steward came from behind and bowed to Chen Mo and others.

"Before, I only knew that my husband was back, but I didn't know that there was a banquet in the palace today." Cai Yan said with some embarrassment.

"It doesn't matter. I only drank with others in the palace, but I didn't eat much food. My belly is still empty. Madam's move is exactly what I want." Chen Mo said with a smile: "Let's have a banquet."

"Here~" the steward agreed quickly and bowed to leave.

We haven’t seen each other for three years, so naturally there are endless things to talk about. Chen Mo had a very comfortable meal at this family dinner. There was no intrigue between the court and the court. His mother was still here, his children were enjoying themselves, and he was surrounded by beauties. At night, after lingering with Cai Yan, Chen Mo lay on the couch, stretched out his hand to feel his wife's satin-like skin, and felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction in his heart.

Sometimes the women outside are not not beautiful, but they are not as comfortable as holding their own women together. Living to the point where he is is actually enough.

This thought flashed through Chen Mo's mind, but was quickly dismissed. Just like Cao Cao said, there is no way back on this road. At his current position, if he gives in, he will most likely be doomed. He may live a worry-free life, but what about his descendants?

"By the way, has Jin'er left?" Chen Mo suddenly asked.

Cai Yan was already depressed when she heard this: "My husband, do you know that Jin'er hasn't been home for two years, and we only communicate through letters."

"Two years?" Chen Mo was a little surprised: "How could this be? Even ordinary officials have two months every year to go back home to visit their families. Chen Jin is not a big official, how could he not even have time to go home."

"Jin'er said in the letter that he wanted to make the villagers rich, and he has been busy with this for the past two years." Cai Yan sighed: "My husband, Jin'er is now an adult, should he also consider marriage?"

Chen Mo nodded, indeed he should, when he was this age, he already had two sons, but thinking that he would have a grandson, Chen Mo felt a little strange, he was not even forty yet, and he was going to have a grandson?
