Chapter 242 The new thorn in history

One afternoon a few days later, Han Yunpeng came to Su's house to invite Su Chen to the Han Mansion to attend the luncheon. This is what Han Xizai meant.

Su Chen asked about the reason and learned from Han Yunpeng that the newly appointed governor had already taken office.

"What does the new governor have to do with me when he takes office, and the reception of the Han government has to do with me? Why do you have to ask me to go?" Su Chen asked in confusion.

"Don't ask me about this, ask my dad?" Han Yunpeng stood in the courtyard, holding the iced melon on the table in his hand, eating it to quench his thirst.

Su Chen thought for a while and felt that it would be beneficial to meet the new governor. After all, he was in Runzhou and was familiar with the head and his parents, and could have more protection for the Bai family and the Su family. At that time, the profit-making business of the Su Bai family will be more prosperous and safe.

In addition, he vaguely felt that since Minister Han had set up a family banquet in the mansion to entertain the new governor, it was very likely that this person was from the Sun Party.

Now Su Chen has also boarded the pirate ship of Minister Han and has become a member of the same camp. Therefore, he has to meet his colleagues in this camp in advance, embodying a posture of "conflicting one another and sharing honor and disgrace".

Although Confucianism advocates that gentlemen do not party, it was recorded in "The Analects of Confucius-Wei Linggong" that "a gentleman is proud but not competing, and a group but not party." It means that a gentleman is solemn but does not argue with others, and is in a group but does not form a party for personal gain; this shows the noble character of a gentleman.

However, in the thousands of years of officialdom, party struggles were caused by Confucian scholars. From the disaster of the Party and Prison in the Han Dynasty to the more intense and long Niu Li party struggles in the Tang Dynasty, it continued to the Song, Ming and Qing dynasties, and party struggles in various dynasties have never stopped.

If Su Chen wanted to gain a foothold in ancient times, especially in the officialdom of the country, he could only follow the trend.

"Okay, I'll go with you!"

Han Yunpeng said, "That's right. My father attaches great importance to you so much, and he will definitely introduce you to the important officials of the court and the chief officials of the border to lay the foundation for your career. To be honest, even if my brothers want to enter the career, they have never seen him so concerned about him. Sometimes I doubt whether you are my father's illegitimate son."

"Get out of here and go!" Su Chen laughed and scolded in anger, entered the study room, and after a moment, he changed into a clean shirt, then greeted Qingqing and Ling'er, then went out to get on the carriage and went to the Han Mansion.

On the way, Su Chen asked Han Yunpeng about the name of the new governor and learned that the person was named Wang Yuechao, who was originally the governor of Daozhou. This time, the governor of Daozhou was transferred to Runzhou. The governor of Runzhou went to Yunzhou, and the governor of Yunzhou went to Daozhou, which was the first leader of the three states.

Wang Yuechao's reputation was not obvious, and no name was left in history books. However, his father Wang Yanqi was a big figure in the Five Dynasties. He was originally from Shangcai, Caizhou, and was a military academy for the prefecture. At the end of the Tongguang period of Emperor Zhuangzong of the Later Tang Dynasty, chaos occurred in various counties. Wang Yanqi killed six people and the governor of the line, and led the state affairs. Later, he defected to Lie Bing in Jiangnan, and passed through the command of Liezu and Zhongzong. He was awarded the Grand Marshal of the Southern Tang Dynasty and was also the Chief of the Supreme Emperor of the Southern Tang Dynasty. He was awarded the Grand Marshal of the Procuratorate and the General of the Central Committee. He was appointed as the Grand Marshal of Chizhou. He was the governor of Chizhou and was granted the title of Shangzhu Kingdom. He was considered an important official of the Southern Tang court and one of the important figures of the Sun Party.

Han Xizai and Wang Yanqiu had a close relationship with each other. The two families were closely connected in Jinling. This time, Han Xizai sent the relationship between the Privy Council and the Ministry of Personnel and transferred Wang Yuechao, the son of Wang Yanqiu, to Runzhou from the position of the governor of Daozhou, which was a high-superior success. After all, Daozhou is only the lower three states, located in the Lingnan area, bordering the Southern Han Dynasty, and the environment is harsh. Naturally, it is not as outstanding as Runzhou, as the most prosperous place in Jiangnan.

Runzhou is considered the base camp of the Han family, Bai family, Peng family, and Su family, and needs to be managed well. Therefore, at Su Chen's previous request, Han Xizai also attached importance to Runzhou. In this way, the governor and the prefect were replaced by people from their own faction.

Su Chen and Han Yunpeng entered the Han Mansion and met everyone in the pavilion in the back garden.

There were not many people at the banquet, only Han Xizai, the prefect Peng Zeliang, the third son of the Han family, Han Pei, and the new governor Wang Yuechao whom he had never met!

Su Chen bowed and bowed: "I have met Mr. Han, the magistrate, and the head of the Han family."

Although Han Xizai didn't get up, she smiled and admired her beard and said, "Su Chen, come and sit down, the banquet is waiting for you to start."

A few words were heavier than Qianjun. Su Chen could not have imagined that these people did not hold a banquet, but were waiting for him to come.

Such an honor made Su Chen feel flattered, and at the same time he felt that the pressure was doubled.

If you can make Mr. Han and others value it so much, you can't embarrass people, let alone disappoint people.

Han Yunpeng said with an extremely envious look, "Dad, where is me?"

"There is nothing to do with you here, go out and play!" Han Xizai waved his hand and let him dodge far away.

"I..." Han Yunpeng almost burst out with the word "grass" from his mouth, and he stopped it in time.

With Han Xizai's glaring eyes, he could only retreat obediently. Before turning around, he looked at Su Chen with an obvious grievance: Who is the real son?

Han Xizai no longer looked at this young son, but instead introduced Su Chen and Wang Yuechao with a smile: "Su Chen, this is the newly appointed governor Wang Yuechao. He will guard Runzhou in the future and will not see the new local parents."

Su Chen stood up again and bowed: "I have met the governor!"

Wang Yuechao was 45 or 6 years old, about the same age as Peng Zeliang. He was calm and steady in middle age, with a torch, and wearing a Confucian shirt and brocade robe, he looked a bit elegant. However, he had been in Lingnan for a long time and had a ferocious military spirit with the border troops of the Southern Han Dynasty.

Su Chen was looked up and down and felt the sharpness of his eyes. However, he had been practicing martial arts and swords these days, and his spirit became more masculine. He was no longer a weak scholar and had no power to tie a chicken. Therefore, under the other party's burning eyes, he was calm and relaxed without any discomfort.

"Well, it's not bad, he's a rare talent!" Wang Yuechao smiled slightly and praised a few words.

Han Xizai and Peng Zeliang also smiled. How could the person they saw correctly be wrong?

Especially Peng Zeliang, now he looks more and more pleasing to Su Chen, but he is not as clever as before. His nose is not the nose, and his eyes are not the eyes!

"No need to be polite. Please sit down. I have heard of your poems and essays in Daozhou these days." Wang Yuechao mentioned poetry and essays again, showing a bit of admiration.

Although there is no first in literature and no second in martial arts, it is difficult to compare which one is the first in articles and poems, because there are too many subjective factors. Some people may like and some dislike the same poem. However, those poems by Su Chen are famous works that have been passed down through the ages, otherwise he would not have learned to memorize them from textbooks.

The poems that can be circulated mean that they have been accumulated over the long river of time and recognized by intellectuals from ancient times to the present, and have been included in the literary world for a long time. They are excellent and rare in terms of words, artistic conception, allusions, parallelism, spirituality, etc.!
