Chapter 238 Everyone Has Their Own Ambition
"You also want to go to the battlefield?" Guo Hao looked at Mulan in front of him helplessly.
"The palace doesn't need me anymore. I want to go to the battlefield. Only on the battlefield can I become stronger." Mulan said expressionlessly. She couldn't even enter the palace gate now, so why should she protect the eldest princess?
"The general promised me that as long as I am willing to be the princess's guard, I can go to the battlefield at any time."
Guo Hao wanted to give Hua Mulan some advice, but seeing Hua Mulan's determined look, he could only swallow back what he wanted to say. He did make a promise to Hua Mulan at that time.
"Go if you want to. This is a transfer order. I allow you to take 500 people from Luoyang. It's up to you to go to any battlefield. I won't interfere."
Hua Mulan is a representative figure of women who are as brave as men. What reason does he have to stop Hua Mulan from trying to break the shackles? After all, some things must respect the wishes of the parties involved.
Luoyang felt even more empty after Mulan left. Almost everyone could feel the emptiness of Luoyang. After all, the Yulin Army was too far away for them. Besides, the Yulin Army was just a tiger to them. Even if they had the ability to reach the sky, they were unable to do anything.
Undercurrents gradually began to brew under the guidance of Jia Xu and Cao Cao, and Cao Cao, as the supported villain leader, also displayed a series of tactics of forming alliances and making all the noble families feel that they had not chosen the wrong person.
In fact, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu were their better choices, but Yuan Shao had a criminal record, and no matter how hard they tried, they could not avoid Jia Xu's eyes and ears. As for Yuan Shu, he was even less suitable, and they were not sure whether Yuan Shu would sell them out.
Cao Cao stood out because he was capable and courageous, and he was also part of the group that was forced to fight in the last Battle of Hulao Pass. Afterwards, a large number of his men were taken away by Guo Hao. Taking all these factors into consideration, Cao Cao became the only choice for their uprising.
It was not difficult for Jia Xu to make a plan with the meeting outline recorded by Cao Cao. Jia Xu even had time to help Cao Cao design a tragic character.
It's the kind of tragic character who has the will but is a bad teammate from the aristocratic family. Not only does he preserve Cao Cao's reputation, but he also manages to sink all the aristocratic families into the center of the earth.
Just as various undercurrents were surging in Luoyang, Chen Xi and his team also arrived in Yingchuan .
After Chen Xi's visiting card was delivered to Chen Qun's mansion, the Chen family quickly held a family meeting and then opened their doors to welcome Chen Xi.
After all, Chen Xi is the prime minister and the most powerful person in the dynasty. Even if they are a thousand-year-old family, they have to bow to the power of the world, not to mention that Chen Xi is also a member of the Chen family.
"Chen Qun and Chen Changwen from the Yingchuan Chen family, meet the head of the family." Chen Qun did not make any other introductions. His position as head of the family had been stripped away the moment Chen Xi returned. He had to admit that he had lost, miserably.
The monarch he favored had lost the chance to fight for the world before he even surrendered to him, and the world became stable again, and the Han Dynasty was revived for the third time. All his preparations came to nothing, and he could only lower his head in the face of reality .
Chen Xi sat calmly in the main seat, and then looked at all the senior executives of the Chen family.
"I am Chen Xi, Chen Zichuan, from the Yingchuan Chen family." Chen Xi paused and said, "Do you have any objection to my taking the position of the head of the Chen family today?"
"Greetings, head of the family!" Chen Qun was the first to react, and then all the members of the Chen family bowed down.
Chen Xi smiled bitterly twice. After all, he could not get rid of the constraints of his identity. It was really ironic that the biggest destroyer of aristocratic families was actually the head of a thousand-year-old family.
"Please sit down. We didn't have the chance to meet before, but now we can sit together and chat." After Chen Xi asked everyone to leave, he kept Chen Qun to talk.
"I also feel it's a pity that a person of your stature is not nurtured by the family." Chen Qun also felt emotional. A branch family head whom he casually threw away deprived him of his orthodox identity without a word.
"Go to Luoyang. You are capable enough to become one of the Three Dukes and Nine Ministers, but for now, joining the Government Affairs Office and waiting for an opportunity is your best way out." Chen Xi waved his hand and said. Chen Qun still had some ability. Although the Nine-Rank System was a bit tricky, it was enough to prove Chen Qun's ability.
There was a hint of surprise in Chen Qun's eyes. He heard something different from Chen Xi's words. It seemed that he didn't just lose to Chen Xi , but there seemed to be many people in Luoyang who could surpass him.
"Is the head of the family so pessimistic about the long article?" Chen Qun couldn't help but asked out loud.
"Xun Wenruo, Xun Gongda, Lu Zijing, Li Wenyu, Jia Wenhe, Xi Zhicai, Guo Fengxiao..." Chen Xi slowly called out their names one by one.
"You will become stronger every day you compete with these people. This is something you cannot experience when you stay in Yingchuan." Chen Xi shook his head. Chen Qun, who was content was too weak. Now he might not even be as good as the top officials on the second floor of the Government Affairs Hall.
Chen Qun, who had not experienced the internal circulation, was obviously a little weak. After all, the internal circulation that even forced Xun Yu to work overtime was something that a weakened version of Xun Yu like him could not imagine.
However, Chen Qun has spiritual talent after all. If he is thrown into the Government Affairs Department and works for a month, he can almost reach the average level of the Department.
Well... the people who drag down the level of the Government Affairs Office are mainly Zhao Yun, Liu Yan, and Yang Lin. Chen Qun's current level is probably a little better than these people.
Before he had any practical experience, no matter how capable Chen Qun was, he would be suppressed by the experienced people, not to mention that he was originally weaker than a strategist of Xun Yu's level.
Chen Yuanlong from Xuzhou stayed in Luoyang for a month and then chose to return to Xuzhou to establish the Xuzhou family. After feeling inferior to others in every aspect for a month, he almost doubted his life. He ran away overnight and planned to find another way based on reality. He directly admitted defeat in terms of government affairs.
"I will go!" Chen Qun nodded silently. He lost, so he had to support whatever decision Chen Xi made. This was the rule of the game.
"You are familiar with the Chen family. Gather all the suitable sons of the Chen family and bring them to Luoyang. Now they will be trained in Luoyang for a period of time and then sent out. There are many vacancies in the world and we need a large number of manpower!" Chen Xi looked at Chen Qun calmly. He was speaking from the heart. The Han Dynasty was really short of manpower.
No matter how poor a child of aristocratic family is, he can still read, and knowing how to read is useful. Even if he only knows a few hundred words, it is enough to become a teacher.
Luoyang is really short of talents. Originally, there were many talents in Luoyang, but when they were spread among the Thirteen States, they couldn't even make a splash.
However, Chen Xi's education plan had just been established, and it was impossible to expect immediate results, so he could only use the children of aristocratic families as tools to help them get through this difficult time.
In order to achieve the planned effect, Chen Xi used imperial edicts to suppress the court judge and rescued countless literate people from various prisons for education, at least to ensure that the street children who were gathered together would not be illiterate.
If even Luoyang cannot guarantee the literacy rate, how can we achieve literacy in the whole world?
