"This is my brother, Dian Wei, who helped me save my life." Wang Biao put his hand on Dian Wei's shoulder and sighed: "When Brother Cai died, my sister and I were unhappy. She wanted to go out for some time, but at that time

An old friend of mine wanted to go to Luoyang and needed help, so I went there to help. Unexpectedly, my old friend was killed by a traitor. I was so angry that I wanted to avenge my old friend, but I was unable to do it and was beaten.

After being injured, I returned to my hometown to find Brother Zheng, preparing to work together to avenge my old friend. When we arrived at Jiwu, we met Brother Dian who also came to seek revenge. When we saw that our great revenge had been avenged and Brother Dian was being hunted, we tried to help him.

Brother Dian got away."

Zheng Tu nodded and said: "Then the Yellow Turban bandits started a rebellion. When I returned to Xiaqiu, Xiaqiu had been captured by the bandits. We wandered around Xuzhou. Later, I heard that you had defeated the Gebei thieves in Runan, so I wanted to come and look for you.

You helped Brother Dian wash away his sins and returned to your hometown to find your mother. Then you met Mr. Yuan Long and they came to Luoyang together."

"Chen Mo admires Uncle Dian for his righteousness." Chen Mo cupped his fists and saluted Dian Wei and said with a smile: "Uncle Wang has taught me a lot. Since he is Uncle Wang's friend, he is also Chen Mo's friend. I will give my best to help in this matter. In this way, I will

Now he is serving in the army. If Uncle Dian doesn't mind, he can join my army first. After he has done some meritorious service in the future, and then he can find ways to deal with it, he will definitely be able to help Uncle Dian wash away his guilt."

Chen Deng just watched from the side without interrupting, but he saw Dian Wei clasping his fists at Chen Mo and saying, "I have heard about the name of the little general. If I can join the general, I will naturally be willing."

Chen Mo defeated the Gebei bandits in the Runan area, and the Yuan family was also interested in helping Chen Mo rise to power. Therefore, Chen Mo's reputation in Runan, Qiao County, and Chen State was quite high. Dian Wei now has nothing but bravery.

He has no ability, background, and doesn't know any powerful people. It's good to be able to join Chen Mo's line.

After saying that, Chen Mo looked at Wang Biao and Zheng Tu and said, "Uncle Wang, Uncle Zheng, you should also stay. I am in short supply of trustworthy people recently."

Wang Biao and Zheng Tu looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly, saying: "Uncle Zheng needs to go back and sort out the family business, and I need to help him. This time I came with Mr. Yuanlong for the sake of brother Dian."

Chen Mo was a little helpless when he heard this. Ever since he was a child, Uncle Wang seemed to be helping others, either helping others or on the way to help others. Sometimes he really wanted to ask how many friends Uncle Wang had.

But both of them are considered Chen Mo's elders, so Chen Mo can't say anything, so he can only nod and say: "In that case, how about staying here for a few days?"

When Wang Biao and Zheng Tu heard this, they nodded in agreement. Maybe they hadn't seen Chen Mo for a long time and had many things to say to Chen Mo.

After reminiscing with the two of them, Chen Mo looked at Chen Deng and said with a smile, "Although you and I are from the same family, we haven't asked our names yet."

"Chen Deng." Chen Deng looked at Chen Mo and said with a smile: "My aunt has been taken to live in Xiapi. Brother Mo, don't worry, we have not forced her."

Chen Mo nodded. If Thaksin really wanted to force it, the teacher would not agree.

"Gong Lu also told me the cause and effect of what happened back then." Chen Mo knelt down and looked at Chen Deng and said: "Since my brother has convinced my mother, I don't need to say more, but today, there is no need to say anything."

I rely on my family half way. Now that my family wants me to return, and my mother has thought about it, I won’t say more. But my brother, don’t blame Mo Shen for being utilitarian. There are some things that need to be made clear. The current situation in Luoyang is... quite subtle. Mo Shen

During this time, I often feel quite strenuous, can you give me some advice, brother?"

Chen Mo really needs a family to help him now, but it is impossible to fully devote himself to the family. His current identity and official position are all worked hard by himself, and this has nothing to do with the family.

He needs family background. In a place like Luoyang, especially after entering the official career, you can truly feel the importance of the family. If Liu Hong was fine, Chen Mo would not compromise with the family so early, but it is different now.

With the transfer, Chen Mo was almost certain that Liu Hong would not be able to survive.

No matter who the new emperor is, in the next change of power, if Chen Mo wants to go further and establish a firm foothold in Luoyang, it will be difficult without the help of his family.

"Brother Mo, can you tell me the truth, the emperor is now..." Chen Deng turned to look at Chen Mo, with an inexplicable look in his eyes.

"Yun Si, take Uncle Wang and the others down to rest." Chen Mo did not answer, but turned to look at Yun Si and said.

"Here!" Yun Si nodded obediently. Obviously, what happened next could not be known to them, so he immediately left with Wang Biao and Dian Wei.

Dalang didn't need Chen Mo to say anything, and went straight to the door, arranging guards to guard the surrounding area to prevent anyone from approaching.

"I'm not too sure about the specifics." Chen Mo frowned when he saw no one around, "However, a few days ago, the military academy commander was transferred to the palace and has not returned yet. I'm afraid..."

Chen Mo had only met the emperor once. Judging from that time, Liu Hong's complexion was not very good. However, the atmosphere in Luoyang has been a bit strange recently, and the movements in the military academy's headquarters also made Chen Mo have some suspicions about the emperor's physical condition.

But when it comes to guarantees, Chen Mo can't guarantee it. He can't see the emperor's fate, and he has no chance to see it at this moment.

"If it is the emperor..." Chen Deng thought for a while and said: "If two princes are competing for the throne, Brother Mo will support and defend the prince, regardless of whether His Majesty has an edict left."

"General?" Chen Mo looked at Chen Deng.

Chen Deng nodded and said: "Your Majesty, there are no ministers available to you."

In other words, even if the emperor intends to pass the throne to Liu Xie, how can a child less than ten years old compete with a group of eunuchs like He Jin? After leaving the palace, these people are nothing.

"But if this happens, the big man may have to experience another fight between his relatives." Chen Mo sighed. This is what he is struggling with now. Chen Deng can think of this. Chen Mo is in Luoyang and can see many things more clearly than Chen Deng. If

The succession of Prince Bian to the throne can indeed reduce disputes in the short term, but in the long run, even if Prince Bian is weak by nature, as long as He Jin does not usurp the throne, there will eventually be people in the Han Dynasty who will oppose his relatives in the future, and an internal fight is inevitable.

, the biggest crisis in the Han Dynasty in recent years is not entirely caused by his relatives, but at least half of it.

As a minister of the Han Dynasty, Chen Mo wanted to reverse this situation, but he was in a humble and weak position. Even if he had this intention, what would be the use?

Chen Deng shook his head and said: "Even if you and I have the intention to do this, it is difficult to resist the general trend. Brother Mo, you should know what will happen if you go against the trend! If you want to make a difference, you must first be useful. Brother Mo can only do this

Only those who survive the battle are qualified to care about the country of the Han Dynasty."

The fight between two princes, or the competition between the forces behind the two princes, once they stand in the wrong position, it will be doomed.

Chen Deng said in a deep voice: "If the emperor can have a few more years, there may be a turn for the better, but if the emperor... I should find a way out as soon as possible."

Chen Mo nodded. This was also the point he struggled with the most these days. As a Han minister, he should be loyal to the Han Dynasty, but as a human being, he had to sacrifice everything for the Han Dynasty. Chen Mo asked himself that he couldn't do it. Now,

He could only hope that the emperor could live a few more years.

"Stay in Luoyang for some time for the brotherhood, and plan the future for my virtuous brother." Chen Deng said with a smile.

Chen Mo looked at Chen Deng. The Chen family was in Luoyang and they still had some connections. This was also a sign of goodwill to Chen Mo.

Moreover, although Chen Deng's plan was out of concern for Chen Mo's safety, it was also for his own benefit. The decline of the Chen family was all caused by the eunuchs. From the standpoint of the Chen family, they naturally wanted the eunuchs to fall. In that case,

Only then did the Chen family have the opportunity to take advantage of the situation.

Use the Chen family's connections in Luoyang to help Chen Mo take a step further and become the representative of the Chen family just like Chen Qiu did back then. The Chen family has secured its place in Xuzhou and leveraged Chen Mo's momentum to become the largest family in Xuzhou.

The next thing the two of them talked about was some things about the Chen family.

Chen Mo's meaning is very simple. Chen Mo's ancestors have returned to their clan, but Chen Mo's branch and Chen Deng's branch cannot be regarded as one family. There is no distinction between masters and common people. They help each other, just like brothers dividing their families. Chen Mo can use the assets of the Chen family, and even

The mansion and property that Chen Qiu left in Luoyang could be managed to be put into the hands of Chen Mo. When the Chen family needed help, Chen Mo would also need to help to obtain local rights for the Chen family.

Chen Mo also knew why Chen Deng gave up Luoyang and focused on the local area. Since Tai Chang Liu Yan wrote a letter to restart the state pastoral last year, local power has become increasingly powerful. The Chen family has strengthened its control over the local area. Even if someone in the court wants to

If you want to embarrass the Chen family, you must also consider the Chen family's influence in the local area.

It can also serve as Chen Mo's backing in court.

Why refuse something that is mutually beneficial?

The two chatted all afternoon and enjoyed themselves very much.

"Brother, it's a lot of inconvenience for me to be in Luoyang. I'm afraid I have to stay here temporarily during these days. I hope my dear brother won't be surprised." Chen Deng said with a smile.

"Brother can stay here, I wish for you." Chen Mo shook his head. He really lacked someone who could negotiate with him now. Chen Deng is quite unique in both his talents and opinions. With such talents by his side, Chen Mo naturally

Happy.

"General!" While the two were chatting, they saw Dalang hurried in and saluted the two of them.

"What's the matter?" Chen Mo looked at Dalang and asked.

"General Cui sent someone to deliver the letter." Dalang handed a roll of bamboo paper to Chen Mo and said.

"Where is the person?" Chen Mo has lost contact with Cui Geng these days and doesn't know what happened.

"Put down the letter and leave in a hurry." Dalang shook his head and said.

Chen Mo quickly opened the letter and looked at the contents.

"The emperor wants to kill the general?" Chen Mo frowned and looked at Chen Deng.

"It seems that His Majesty does intend to pass on the throne to the crown prince." Chen Deng nodded and said, "How are Brother Mo's preparations?"

"Go to the General's Mansion." Chen Mo put it away and said gradually.

"Oh?" Chen Deng was a little surprised: "If the emperor can kill He Jin, Brother Mo may have a greater chance."

"This letter can come into my hands. The general has a queen to help him in the palace. How can An not know?" Chen Mo sighed.

"Brother, I will go with you." Chen Deng stood up and said with a smile.
