I Am Sanctified By Writing Books

The three of them arrived at Wang Mang's courtyard together, and after being seated, Chu He looked at Xiao Feng and said.

"Xiao Feng, go outside and take care of it, make sure there are no ears on the partition wall."

Xiao Feng's strength is still higher than that of Wang Mang, with Xiao Feng looking after him, no one in the entire city guard army can approach this place.

Now that Liu Qingquan is dead and there is a lot of commotion, it is impossible for other members of the guarding army to come here to watch.

Xiao Feng stood up, but looked at Wang Mang, hesitant.

The connotation is clear.

Wang Man laughed loudly and said, "Brother, you don't have to worry too much. Although Chu He is no more than a fifth-rank Confucian scholar, I can't afford to provoke the forces behind him anyway. Besides, I have something to do myself and need Chu He's help." , how could it harm him?"

Xiao Feng didn't believe it, he looked at Chu He.

Xiao Feng didn't go out until Chu He nodded slightly in agreement.

Seeing this, Wang Mang said with emotion.

"Brother Xiao came to my city guard for a few days, and I often brought him by my side, just to let him see my Wang Mang's character, but I didn't expect that after so long, he still hasn't convinced me."

"Compared with you, I feel ashamed."

Chu He chuckled and didn't answer.

Xiao Feng is Shuling's matter, he has no plans to let Wang Mang know now.

At least now Xiao Feng has Wang Mang's trust, but once Wang Mang knows that Xiao Feng is Chu He's book spirit, and it is impossible to betray Chu He no matter what, then Wang Mang will be more wary of Xiao Feng.

Although it is a bit unkind, but now, there is no better way.

After chatting a few words, Wang Mang took the initiative to ask.

"Since Chen Jiang has repeatedly tried to harm you, can you tell me about the grievances between you and that Chen Jiang?"

Chu He then explained the whole matter, omitting other things of course, just letting Wang Mang know that he and Chen Jiang are mortal enemies.

"No wonder, Chen Jiang, a dignified fourth-rank official with real power, has repeatedly targeted you."

Wang Mang heard it and said with emotion.

Chu He asked: "Since this has happened, does General Wang have any ideas?"

Wang Mang sighed and said: "Even if this happened, there is no one to prove it, even if it is me, I can't do anything to Chen Jiang."

Chu He frowned and asked a question.

Even if he is a general who emphasizes civility over military affairs, and there is a serious gap between the ranks of officials, Wang Mang is a general of the city guard army after all. no way?

Wang Mang explained: "If Chen Jiang is only a fourth-rank minister, then I am not afraid, but the person behind Chen Jiang is the Prime Minister of the Left."

Above the Daqian Dynasty, there were two prime ministers, Zuo Xiang and Wen Xiang.

Wen Xiang is one of the few first-class Confucians who govern the country in Dagan. He is the head of the Imperial Academy in Kyoto, and he is in charge of many academies in the dynasty. Even the Guoshi Academy is under Wen Xiang's management.

It can be said that within the Daqian, all scholars in the world are under the control of Wenxiang.

Zuo Xiang is different, Zuo Xiang is the head of all officials, the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of War are all under his control, and he has the right to supervise all officials.

It can be said that above the court, as long as they are famous officials, they are basically subject to the left minister.

As for the military department to which the Guarding Army belongs, although it is neutral, it is not influenced by the leftist, but after all, the leftist is powerful, and it is really impossible to compete with it for a while.

In this way, three forces formed above the court.

One group is headed by literary ministers, most of whom are distributed in the Hanlin Academy and many low-level officials. The other group is high-ranking officials who are in charge of the court, the capital and the local land. The third group is headed by the frontier army. , directly serving the military generals of the Dagan Dynasty.

Also because the military does not participate in political affairs, most of the disputes in the court are between the left minister and the Wen minister.

And because most of the Hanlin Academy only had ranks but no real power, so most of the disputes in the court were left-handed.

Chen Jiang was only fourth rank, but Zuo Xiang was a first rank official, and the city guards were far away from the frontier army. In fact, he was disliked by the army. It was difficult for Zuo Xiang to kill Wang Mang, but if he planned to frame him, it would be easy.

After hearing this, Chu He frowned and said, "No wonder Chen Jiang, who is only at the fourth rank, dared to attack the city guards."

Wang Mang sighed: "However, after all, the Defense Army belongs to the military headquarters. It is impossible for Prime Minister Zuo to intervene in the open. He can only do some small tricks in the dark."

"Then what are you going to do?" Chu He asked.

Wang Mang thought for a moment, then said: "How about this, the two of us should not act rashly for the time being, I will investigate in the city guard army, and first find out Chen Jiang's internal agents, and eliminate the city guard army."

"You are investigating Chen Jiang's actions in the academy. As long as you can catch Chen Jiang's handle, I can suppress him in one fell swoop. Of course, if a great Confucian comes forward..."

"It's impossible." Chu He rebuffed flatly.

The Great Confucianists of the Guoshi Academy only wanted Confucianism and Taoism in the Academy, so they were unwilling to participate in the affairs of the court. The Academy was the last piece of pure land in the Daqian Dynasty. Chu He really didn't want the Academy to participate.

"Well, if you think so, I have nothing to say." Wang Mang spread his hands, not very disappointed.

Anyway, Chu He had the academy's signboard on it, and when the crisis came, it was impossible for the academy not to take action.

While the two were talking, Wang Mang sighed.

"In the army, I heard that there is a disciple in the outer court named Chu He, who is unparalleled in talent and brilliance. Seeing him today really lives up to his reputation."

"I just don't know how you are with that Young Master Bailong?"

Wang Mang asked curiously.

Chu He chuckled, pointed at himself and said, "I'm not talented, I'm called Mr. Bailong."

"what!"

Wang Mang was taken aback, and stood up suddenly, his martial energy was disordered, scattered in all directions, not angry but arrogant.

boom!

With a muffled sound, Xiao Feng jumped into the door, his eyes fixed on Wang Mang.

Wang Mang restrained his breath, and exclaimed: "In the past, I only heard the reputation of Mr. Bailong, but I didn't expect it to be you."

"No wonder, when we met for the first time, you were only a sixth-grade Confucian scholar, and you were not afraid of me at all. I was surprised at that time, but it turned out to be the case."

"Thinking about it, it's true. There is no one other than Mr. Bailong who can have such talent and courage."

At this moment, Wang Mang couldn't help but rejoice in his heart.

Fortunately, he didn't make it difficult for Chu He when they first met, and now he has firmly grasped Chu He's rope.

With Mr. Bailong's talent, it will not be difficult to become a great Confucianist in the future.

When Chu He becomes a great Confucian, with the help of the academy, he, Wang Mang, will surely be able to reach a higher level.

Chu He looked at the time outside the window, stood up and cupped his fists and said, "It's getting late, so I'll go back first."

Farewell to Wang Mang, Xiao Feng continued to stay in the guard army, Chu He explained to Xiao Feng, and left the guard army.

When we arrived at the gate of the academy, it was already late at night. Chu He changed his clothes and was about to enter the room when he suddenly felt a breath coming from behind.

"Where have you been so late?"

A silver bell and iceberg voice came slowly, and the silence of the night seemed a little scary.
