Three Kingdoms: Madam, I am a decent person

Chapter 559 Chen Zhen comes to visit!

Chen Dao felt a little dazed when he heard what Li Ru said. He said, "Military Advisor Li, this plan is too complicated, isn't it? Aren't you afraid that some of the steps may go astray, or even go the other way?"

Li Ru stopped patting his bulging belly and said proudly, "How complicated is this?"

"The strategies I gave are all based on the interests of all parties."

"In this world, no one and no relationship can be trusted."

"Only interests are eternal."

"As long as you grasp the key interests, there will be great scholars to debate for you."

Chen Dao said again: "I don't believe it. Just say you asked the second son of Jingzhou to poison the governor of Jingzhou. Is this something a human would do?"

"That's my biological father."

“Every success is a blessing, a loss is a loss.”

"It is because of the existence of Jingzhou Mu that the second son of Jingzhou Mu can live a good life today."

Li Ru raised his eyebrows and jokingly said, "Since ancient times, there have been many cases of fathers and sons killing each other for power, haven't they?"

"King Wuling of Zhao abdicated to King Huiwen of Zhao, and the Shaqiu Palace Incident occurred, where King Wuling of Zhao starved to death."

"Duke Huan of Qi dominated the government and the country, but he died of illness on his bed, his body was covered with ulcers, and no one cared about his children.

"In the face of power, how can there be any deep love between father and son?"

"Moreover, the second son of Jingzhou Mu obviously has no advantages in inheriting Jingzhou Mu's mantle."

"He must know it himself."

"However, faced with the temptation of power, few people can realize that they are not worthy. They only feel that fate is unfair and want to change their fate."

"These are all the bad qualities of human beings."

Chen Dao frowned and tried to refute.

Zhang Sui interrupted Chen Dao and said, "Okay, there's nothing to argue about."

"There is no perfect plan in the world, but not everyone is smart enough to find loopholes in the plan."

"Just do as Li Junshi said."

Li Ru bowed to Zhang Sui and said, "Yes!"

Zhang Sui patted Li Ru on the shoulder and said, "If you fail, it's my fault. If you succeed, it's yours. Don't worry too much."

"As for the candidate, we will slowly look for him during this period of time."

"Jingzhou actually has a lot of talented people."

Li Ru responded.

Only then did Zhang Sui signal everyone to go to bed.

He has to go to bed too.

Not only was the journey from Xiakou to Xiangyang bumpy, but he also had no rest today.

Zhang Sui slept until early the next morning.

Zhang Sui got up, put on his clothes, opened the door, and heavy snow was falling outside.

Two maids, wearing heavy clothes, were standing behind the door holding hot soup.

Seeing Zhang Sui coming out, two maids hurriedly handed him hot soup and asked him to brush his teeth and wash his face.

Chen Dao also came over from the entrance at this time and said, "Tong'er, I asked him to go and rest. I'm on duty today."

Zhang Sui nodded and said, "Where's the military advisor? Is he up yet?"

Chen Dao said, "I'm up. I'm meeting a man named Chen Zhen in the living room."

"This person came to see you, my lord, and I don't know what he wants."

"The military advisor saw that you were still not awake, so he went with you."

Zhang Sui nodded and took Chen Dao straight to the hall.

Chen Zhen is one of the most underestimated people in the history of the late Han Dynasty.

Chen Zhen worked his way up to become the Minister of the Shu Kingdom. He was both civil and military, and even Zhuge Liang respected him very much.

Chen Zhen also facilitated the re-alliance between Shu and Eastern Wu.

I didn't expect that such a talent would come to me.

Zhang Sui was also very curious about the reason why he was looking for him.

After all, he and I have no relationship at all.

Zhang Sui took Chen Dao to the hall.

In the hall, Huang Zu, Li Ru and a young scholar were drinking hot tea and chatting.

Seeing Zhang Sui and Chen Dao approaching, Huang Zu smiled and stood up and said to the young scholar, "This is Zhao Li, the General of the Central Army of Hebei and the younger brother of Zhao Yun, the Commandant of Lujiang Prefecture." Huang Zu pointed at the young scholar and said to Zhang Sui, "Brother Zhao, this man's name is Chen Zhen, from Nanyang, and his courtesy name is Xiaoqi."

After a pause, Huang Zu said, "Xiaoqi is now serving as Gongcao in Xiangyang."

Zhang Sui greeted him with a smile and said, "You are from Nanyang? Nanyang is famous for its scholars. I often see great talents from Nanyang in Hebei."

"This man's name is Xu You. He is the military advisor of Lord Yuan, the governor of Jizhou. He is extremely talented."

Zhang Sui secretly added, "It's a pity that he was arrogant and spoke without thinking. In history, he was killed by Xu Chu, but here, he was killed by Yuan Tan."

Huang Zu laughed and said, "It turned out to be Xu Ziyuan. He is indeed in Jizhou. Brother Zhao, you know quite a lot of people!"

"How is Xu Ziyuan now?"

Chen Zhen also looked at Zhang Sui expectantly.

After all, he is a famous person from the same county.

He had heard of Xu You's name when he was very young.

Xu You became an official very early.

Moreover, he was doing very well in Jizhou.

Zhang Sui sighed, "When I was in Yecheng, I heard Yuan Gong praise him many times."

"But he eventually came into conflict with the eldest son."

"It is a pity that Yuan Tan was deceived by the treacherous people and killed him and Yingchuan famous scholar Guo Tu."

"Lord Yuan was very angry about this and stripped the eldest son of his post as governor of Qingzhou and ordered him to return to Yecheng to reflect on his actions."

Zhang Sui secretly observed the reactions of Huang Zu and Chen Zhen.

Both were shocked.

Obviously, they didn't know that Xu You had been dead for more than a year.

However, it's no wonder.

Yuan Shao has always been very concerned about his reputation.

Xu You and Guo Tu were killed by his eldest son, and he would never let anyone spread this news, so as to prevent others from mistakenly thinking that he killed meritorious officials.

At the beginning, even when the third son Yuan Shang rebelled in Ye City, Yuan Shao did not allow anyone to spread the news.

As for the deaths of Yuan Tan and Yuan Shao, the time was too recent and the news had not yet been passed on.

This is the reason for the lag in information due to the underdeveloped transportation in ancient times.

Zhang Sui became more and more determined in his heart that he should ask the Mi and Qiao families to help him train a large number of carrier pigeons to increase the speed of updating intelligence as much as possible.

It took a while for Huang Zu and Chen Zhen to react.

Chen Zhen said with a disappointed look on his face: "I didn't expect that Mr. Xu would encounter an accident."

Huang Zu also sighed.

Li Ru on the side said hurriedly: "Mr. Xu's incident is indeed regrettable."

"Fortunately his son was protected."

"Moreover, the culprit has received the punishment he deserved."

Huang Zu echoed, "Don't be too sad, Xiaoqi."

"Mr. Yuan, the governor of Jizhou, controls such a huge industry that he naturally cannot take care of every aspect."

"But he didn't treat Xu Ziyuan badly."

"It is already rare and precious that he could move the eldest son for Xu Ziyuan."

Chen Zhen nodded.

Huang Zu then hurriedly asked the maid to call Huang Yueying over, and then asked Zhang Sui to sit next to him.

Zhang Sui refused and said with a smile: "Mr. Huang is my elder. No matter how high an official I become in the future, I must respect my elders, right? If I were to sit next to you now, my brother would definitely beat me if he knew!"

Huang Zu was delighted by what Zhang Sui said.

What a good tutor!

Although he became a General of the Central Army at a young age and had an outstanding brother like Zhao Yun, he was not at all proud and always respected his elders.

If I am with my niece, won't I always be his elder?

When Chen Zhen heard Zhang Sui say this, he also nodded.

Looking at Zhang Sui, Chen Zhen secretly admired him.

Yes.

Hebei was able to promote such a young talent, and the vision of the head of the Kuai family was correct.
