"Let's eat." Chen Mo invited Xu Fu to have a meal with him in the side hall of the government office. Dian Wei brought a bowl of corn and some boiled vegetables and placed them in front of Xu Fu. He looked at Xu Fu with a bit of admiration.

He was wanted to avenge a friend's murder. When he met Xu Fu, who suffered the same fate, he naturally had more empathy and was quite kind to Xu Fu.

"I'm going to wash up later." Seeing that the other party didn't say a word, Chen Mo didn't feel embarrassed. After saying this with a smile, he started to eat.

Dian Wei, on the other hand, refused to eat. He just kept chattering to Xu Fu: "Don't worry, no one will harm you here. You should eat and drink. If anyone dares to catch you, I will twist off his head."

"Dian Wei?" Chen Mo put down his job helplessly and looked at Dian Wei.

"Here!" Dian Wei bowed subconsciously.

"Today's meal is not to your liking?" Chen Mo asked.

"Not bad." Dian Wei looked at the pieces of meat in the bowl. Being able to eat meat every time was definitely a wealthy life in this era.

"The Master said: Don't talk when you eat or sleep!" Chen Mo said angrily.

"Ah?" Dian Wei looked at Chen Mo inexplicably. Why did he suddenly pull the text?

"This general is asking you to shut up." Xu Fu was probably frightened by Dian Wei, so he raised his head and glanced at Dian Wei and said speechlessly.

"Can you speak?" Dian Wei looked at Xu Fu in astonishment.

Xu Fu ignored him and silently picked up the corn rice and ate the cooked vegetables. Although he was a little embarrassed, he still followed the etiquette of eating and ate one bite at a time, but at a faster speed. It seemed that he was really hungry.

"I have already read your file." After eating, Chen Mo wiped his mouth, looked at Xu Fu and said, "Should I call you Xu Fu or Xu Shu?"

Xu Fu is his real name, and Xu Shu is his pseudonym after committing the crime.

"The general just calls me Xu Shu." The other party bowed his hand to Chen Mo and said, "I haven't thanked the general for his help yet."

Chen Mo nodded and didn't say much more about this matter. Instead, he smiled and said: "You have extraordinary swordsmanship and a chivalrous style. You can fight for your friends, but your words and conversation are quite restrained, and you are not like an ordinary ranger.

"

"Some family education." Xu Shu didn't avoid it. He was a member of a poor family. As for being a good martial artist, he came to the land of Yingchuan. There were aristocratic families all over the place, and the knowledge of the family was deeper. Apart from a few bamboo slips in his family collection, he had no other education.

Secondly, he has a free and uninhibited personality, and he is easy to make friends and deal with injustices.

"No wonder." Chen Mo looked at Xu Shu carefully. Although his hair was disheveled, his bearing was extraordinary. He smiled and said, "Do you know who I am?"

"My lord is the newly appointed Guang Luxun, the governor of Hedong, and the commander of Henan Yin." Dianwei on the side couldn't help but raise his head and said.

Looking at his proud look, someone who didn't know it thought he was talking about himself.

Chen Mo: "..."

Xu Shu: "..."

"Come on, tell me what books you have read." Chen Mo didn't want to talk about this anymore, so he decided to talk about areas that Dian Wei didn't understand. This idiot sometimes interrupted and it really made people don't know how to continue.

"The family has a volume of Spring and Autumn, and I admire the style of Spring and Autumn." Xu Shu nodded.

"Times are different. The ancients left books to let us know our minds and see our nature, rather than to learn from the ancients. Times are changing, and people's thoughts are also changing. From the perspective of today's people, if we imitate the chivalrous spirit of the Spring and Autumn Period, it violates the law.

The law is inevitable. Hundreds of years have passed since the Spring and Autumn Period. Times have changed, and many things that were right at the time are wrong today."

"So, the general's belief that aiding Jie would lead to abuse seems correct now?" Xu Shu asked rhetorically.

Chen Mo helped Dong Zhuo pacify Hedong and blocked the Baibo thieves in Baibo Valley, which relieved Dong Zhuo from worries. In the eyes of many people, although Chen Mo's move was to quell the thieves, it also helped Dong Zhuo.

"First of all, everything I do is for the court and the Han Dynasty, never for individuals." Chen Mo nodded at the table, shook his head and smiled: "Secondly, Dong Zhuo may not be wrong, and the princes may not be righteous.

, have you ever thought about why Dong Zhuo killed King Hongnong? I can guarantee that if the princes had not rebelled, King Hongnong would have lived a good life."

"So, the general thinks King Hongnong deserves to die?" Xu Shu sneered.

"Or it can be said to be fate. I don't believe that many princes in the world can't see this clearly, but they still do it. Therefore, in their eyes, King Hongnong is not important. Of course, King Hongnong does not deserve to die. Dong Zhuo

Doing this will only make the princes' comeback more reasonable. To put it more darkly, the princes actually want him to die." Chen Mo said truthfully.

"I've heard for a long time that the general is good at eloquence. When I saw him today, it turned out to be extraordinary." Xu Shu sighed. He had always considered himself smart. When facing Chen Mo today, not only was he unable to refute, he even felt that what Chen Mo said had some truth, so he simply kept silent.

.

"Then let's talk about the Spring and Autumn Period. Today's world seems to be quite similar to the Spring and Autumn Period." Chen Mo couldn't help laughing when he saw Xu Shu shut up. This person is quite interesting. He is not very talented, but his thinking is quite good.

In order to be agile, he deliberately guided me. He seemed to have noticed it and stopped the topic in time. If such a person can read more books, he will achieve great results in the future.

However, he obviously did not have a good reputation in Yingchuan. Even though Xu Shu was a prisoner, he always rejected Chen Mo from the beginning to the end. Chen Mo simply stopped talking about these things and talked about the Spring and Autumn Period with Xu Shu, and then from the Spring and Autumn Period.

The evolution of various political systems in the Warring States and Pre-Qin Dynasties, the rise and fall of various academic schools, and the processes and internal causes of the rise or decline of various countries.

Chen Mo has learned a lot, and has also studied the art of war and ancient and modern laws. At this moment, he has learned from many sources and picked them up at his fingertips, and finally returned to the current situation.

Although Xu Shu felt that Chen Mo was a treacherous minister, he admired Chen Mo's talent and learning. From beginning to end, Chen Mo did not say anything about profound knowledge. He only talked about the succession of eras from the Spring and Autumn Period to the Warring States Period to the Qin and Han Dynasties, and then compared the present with the ancient times carefully.

After thinking about it, it is true that as Chen Mo said, local power is increasing day by day, and the court's control over local areas is getting weaker and weaker.

The aristocratic families hid their household registrations, and the court could only continue to raise taxes. If this was the case, the Han Dynasty would still have the possibility to continue. However, several major events happened last year, or in other words, starting from the death of the late emperor, the Han Dynasty began to move towards its demise.

The depth keeps falling.

After all, Chen Mo cannot be entirely blamed for causing this scene. According to Chen Mo's theory, Chen Mo has been trying to stabilize the situation. However, in the face of the general trend of the world, how can a powerless young man do this?

Block?

If this is the case, Chen Mo is not only not a treacherous minister, but a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty. He is fighting against the whole world. If so, then everyone has wrongly blamed this person... It is not right, but he has blocked many people.

interests, so they were not integrated with the scholars.

Thinking of this, Xu Shu couldn't help but feel a bit of admiration for Chen Mo.

"The general is knowledgeable, and I admire you greatly." Xu Shu did not immediately bow his head, but bowed to Chen Mo and said: "But I have little talent and little knowledge. I don't know whether what the general said is true. If the general is willing to believe me, please let me leave to study."

, When I finish my studies, I am still convinced that what the general said today is unnecessary, and I am willing to swear allegiance to the death!"

"Are you studying?" Chen Mo nodded and said, "With your talent, you should cherish it, but have you ever thought about who you want to be a disciple of?"

"This..." Xu Shu smiled bitterly and shook his head when he heard this. He was from a poor family and it was hard to find the opportunity to become a disciple.

"If not, I can recommend someone for you, but I don't know if you are willing." Chen Mo smiled.

"This..." Xu Shu naturally felt that this was Chen Mo's way of keeping him, but he couldn't refuse directly. He just asked, "I wonder who he is?"

"Cai Yong, Cai Bojie, have you ever heard of them?" Chen Mo asked with a smile.

"But Mr. Bojie, who is said to be extremely white?" Xu Shu was shocked when he heard this and stood up suddenly.

Originally, he had already prepared to shirk no matter who Chen Mo recommended, but he couldn't refuse the name Chen Mo suggested.

Cai Yong is a great Confucian of the time. If he were born, it may not be considered a sin of the time. At least it is much worse than the Yuan family of the fourth generation and the third prince. However, his attainments and reputation in Confucianism and Taoism can be regarded as the best of the world.

Finally, being able to become a disciple of Cai Yong was the dream of many scholars. Since Xu Shu had a desire to learn, how could he not know about this man?

"Exactly." Chen Mo nodded and smiled.

"How can the general ensure that Cai Weng is willing to accept me?" Xu Shu calmed down and asked.

"Then I want to recruit my lord as my son-in-law!" Dian Wei couldn't help but said after finally hearing something he understood.

Chen Mo: "..."

His cold eyes fell on Dian Wei, which startled Dian Wei and muttered: "That's what it is."

"Don't listen to this fool's nonsense." Chen Mo rubbed his temples, looked at Xu Shu and said, "I have some personal relationship with Duke Bojie, but Duke Bojie also intends to marry his daughter, but without my mother's permission, this marriage will

I don’t dare to make my own decisions when it comes to matters.”

"Of course." Xu Shu was confused. People like Cai Yong would choose Chen Mo as his son-in-law. This made Xu Shu feel that Chen Mo's previous words were much more credible.

Just looking at Xu Shu's expression, Chen Mo knew that this matter could not be explained, so he could only ask helplessly: "Are you willing?"

"If you can become a disciple of Cai Weng, I would be willing to do so." Xu Shu said quickly, his tone becoming more respectful.

"Go and take a bath. Come with me to meet someone tomorrow. After all, if you become a disciple of Uncle Bo, you will have some connection with this person." Chen Mo stood up and said with a smile.

"Here!" Xu Shu nodded, now not so resistant to Chen Mo's words.

"I'll see you off!" Dian Wei saw that Chen Mo looked wrong and quickly stood up to follow him out.

"No, someone will send it to you. You can stay! I have something for you to do." Chen Mo looked at Dian Wei and smiled very kindly.

"Uh..." Dian Wei's burly body froze, and he turned to look at Chen Mo in embarrassment: "Master, what's the matter?"

"Sparring with me, you are only allowed to defend, not attack." Chen Mo took off his robe and stretched his arms.

"ah!?"
