In the following days, Chen Mu began to keep a low profile.
Apart from visiting Hou Xu in Luoyang Prison a few times during this period, I went to Yang Ci's house every day to get closer to Yang Ci.
Hou Xu is not dead yet, and Zhang Rang originally wanted to get rid of him.
But Chen Mu persuaded him to stop.
According to Chen Mu, Hou Xu can be controlled. If the Party members counterattack in the future, Hou Xu will be able to bite the Party members back, saying that the Party members are behind the Yellow Turban Rebellion.
This statement is a bit ridiculous, the key is Zhang Rangxin.
Moreover, Hou Xu is no longer a threat to Zhang Rang, and after all, he has collected so much money... As a businessman, you still have to have credibility.
As the days passed, as Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty collected taxes, the world gradually returned to peace. The meat was cut from the hands of the powerful and used for the common people. At least for a short period of time, the world of the Han Dynasty was stable.
According to the original history, although there were no major disasters in the second year of Zhongping, minor disasters continued. There were rebel armies in Yizhou, Jiaozhou, Qingzhou, and Jizhou. The most powerful ones were the Black Mountain Army of Jizhou and the remnants of the Yellow Turbans of Qingzhou, with as many as one million people. There were also the west
Beigong Boyu also attacked Yongzhou and invaded the land of Sanfu, shocking the government and the public.
But with Chen Mu's move to drain the fire, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty dispersed money on a large scale, and the turmoil became much smaller. Except for the Black Mountain Army and the Qingzhou Yellow Turban, the civil unrest in various places was much smaller. The Black Mountain Army and the Qingzhou Yellow Turban were also temporarily pacified.
, we can’t say that the world is peaceful, but it is barely stable.
This is why Chen Mu influenced history. His original plan was to make this period of history ten times worse. However, he had no choice before, but now he suddenly wants to be a good person and save all people in one word, at least for the people all over the world.
Said, life will be much better this year.
It is worth mentioning that Wang Yun was imprisoned by Zhang Rang and originally wanted to kill him. Countless people from the court wrote to rescue him. Later, Zhang Rang asked Chen Mu for his opinion. At this time, Chen Mu could kill this guy with just one word.
Moreover, Zhang Rang still takes the blame.
However, thinking that Wang Yun could still be used, Chen Mu did not kill him, and even wrote a letter for rescue the next day. This made many people who knew about his affair with Wang Yun change their views on him, and his reputation also improved.
A lot.
After Wang Yun was released from prison, he hypocritically went to Chen Mu's house to apologize.
The smile on Chen Mu's face was so gentle at that time, and the sneer in his heart was so strong.
It's just a show, it can't be taken seriously.
Cai Yong is so innocent and has never done anything bad in his life. He was killed by Wang Yun just for sighing. How can Wang Yun himself be a good person?
If there was no need for him in the future, the days he spent in prison would have been Wang Yun's memorial day.
October of the second year of Zhongping.
Yang Ci passed away.
There have been signs these days. Chen Mu goes to his house every day, and Yang Ci's health is getting worse day by day. He has indeed reached this age.
As early as August, Chen Mu had officially graduated from Hongdu School, and the emperor's appointment was also issued. He was supposed to go to Qingzhou to be the governor, but because of Yang Ci's health, Chen Mu never went.
As a result, in September, a comet landed in the sky, and Yang Ci died of illness in October, making it even more impossible to leave.
Because Chen Mu has now been accepted as a disciple by Yang Ci and has become a disciple who broke into the house.
At that time, the death of a parent or teacher required discussion by the teacher uniform. Teachers had to be treated like parents. When a teacher died, mourning was required.
For a time, all Yang Ci's disciples all over the world abandoned their official positions to attend the funeral. Although Chen Mu did not abandon his official positions, he also postponed his appointment.
That night, the funeral hall began to be decorated at the Yang family's house.
White cloths were hung all over the house. The Yang clan arrived in Luoyang from Hongnong overnight and put on white plain clothes. The gongs, drums and trumpets sounded loudly, and officials from all over the capital came to express their condolences.
As an elder with disciples and former officials all over the world, Yang Ci had a special status and could not be buried so quickly. He had to stay in mourning for a long time and was not buried until November.
Because the Han Dynasty had a large area and inconvenient transportation, it took a lot of time for many Yang Ci students who were officials in other places to come after hearing the news.
Numerous carriages stopped outside the Yang family gate, and Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty also put on mourning robes, stayed in court for three days, and came to express his condolences.
As a student, Chen Mu knelt down and thanked Yang Ci every day, becoming a filial son.
"How is the general coming?"
"Situ Cui Lie has arrived."
"Captain Zhang Yan has arrived."
"Zongzheng Liu Yan has arrived."
"Grandmaster Guanglu, Cao Cao has arrived."
"Yuan Shu, the commander of the Tiger Guard, has arrived."
"Yu Lin Zuo Jian Yuan Shao has arrived."
"Servant Liu Dai has arrived."
"Captain Zhang Miao has arrived."
"The imperial censor Kong Rong has arrived."
"Shi Censor Liu Yao has arrived."
……．
Countless ministers from the DPRK came to express their condolences every day, and there was a lot of traffic at the entrance of Yang Mansion. Every familiar name also allowed Chen Mu to see for the first time what the heroes of the late Han Dynasty looked like.
Needless to say, Cao Cao has a handsome appearance. Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu are also good-looking, majestic and extraordinary.
Although others like Liu Dai, Zhang Miao, Kong Rong, Liu Yao and others are just a mention in the history of Qing Dynasty and can barely be counted among the heroes of the late Han Dynasty, they are still among the most powerful individuals and have their own majesty.
After Yuan Shao paid homage to Yang Ci, he did not leave immediately. Instead, he stayed in the Yang Mansion and mingled with many party members.
Yang Ci is an elder respected by the party members, and many party members have also been favored and promoted by Yang Ci. Of course, they cannot just worship and leave. There will be various ceremonies afterwards, and they will have to participate.
As a student of Yang Ci, Chen Mu followed Yang Ci's son Yang Biao and other relatives to thank him. After taking a break at noon, he was going to the backyard to relieve himself. When he passed by the back garden, he saw the party members.
Xun He glanced at him from afar. There was no trace of sadness in his eyes, only a hint of passion and excitement.
It is true that Yang Ci was highly virtuous and respected, but at this age, he was already mourning, so Xun He did not feel sad about his death.
Xun He was excited that another prophecy was calculated by Chen Mu. In this way, the prophecy that the emperor's time is running out has been confirmed to be true. If it is true as Chen Mu said, then the day when the party members will rise again
, it’s no longer long, how could Xun He be unhappy.
Chen Mu nodded slightly, signaled to Xun He, and left.
Yuan Shao on the side noticed this little move and said to Xun He: "Mr. Gongshu, who is that?"
Speaking of which, although Chen Mu is famous all over the world, Yuan Shao has never met him in person.
After all, there are no photos or videos these days. If you want to get to know someone, other than through fame, you can only communicate face to face.
Xun He slowly calmed down the excitement in his eyes and said calmly: "This person is Chen Zigui."
"Is this Chen Zigui who avenged his father?"
Yuan Shao became interested.
Xun He nodded: "This man has great talent, we must not offend him."
Wang Zhang, the Shaofu Qing, said: "I didn't expect that Chen Zigui is still very broad-minded. He can tolerate the prince's master offending him so much."
"This is something I didn't expect."
Xun He was puzzled.
Based on his understanding of Chen Mu, he did not say that he would definitely retaliate, but he was definitely not someone to be trifled with. How could he let Wang Yun go?
"Gongshu?"
Wang Zhang asked puzzledly: "Why didn't you think of it?"
"ah......"
Xun He Zhizhi said: "I mean...I didn't expect Chen Zigui to be so broad-minded."
Li Du on the side nodded and said: "Chen Zigui is truly a famous scholar."
Of course Yuan Shao had no intention of separatist rule at this time. He was now only thinking about how to attach himself to him and get promoted to a higher position. When he heard about Chen Mu, he couldn't help but yearn for it and said: "It seems that Chen Zigui is worthy of a close friendship."
While the party members were chatting about things, Chen Mu had also returned to the hall outside.
As soon as I entered the door, a loud cry came out, which was deafening.
"My teacher! Wuwuwuwuwu."
I saw a burly scribe in his 30s, kneeling on the ground, holding Yang Ci's coffin and crying bitterly. He was very sad.
Chen Mu thought to himself that his father was not that sad even after Yang Biao died. This actor must have gone too far in his acting.
So he asked the Yang family servant next to him: "Who is this?"
