Chapter 1677 Qinghe Cui Family Joins

Lin Mu, the general who conquered the East, was the son of Xun Shuang, the great scholar, and the son-in-law of Cai Gong Cai Yong. He also had a relationship with his teacher Zheng Xuan.

But if Lin Mu himself came over and his teacher came to entertain him, that would be more reasonable, but if he was just an official from a faction under Lin Mu, it would be a bit intriguing.

Cui Yan took a deep look at Guo Jia. He always felt that this person had a special temperament, like the deep night sky.

"Mr. Kang Chenggong commented: It is clear and bright, and his elegance and knowledge are far-reaching!" Guo Jianing said.

"Haha... this is just the teacher's compliment." Cui Yan still looked modest.

"I heard that Xu Shao, Pingyu of Runan, came to see you sir?" Guo Jia asked again.

"Well...he has been to the academy." Cui Yan nodded.

However, he did not directly tell the specific circumstances of his meeting with Xu Shao, and Guo Jia did not ask. Everyone knew some things.

"Brother Lin, did you come here to see me today?" Cui Yan paused, turned to look at Cui Lin, and asked with a hint.

"Yes! In Luoyang, I was favored by General Zhengdong Lin Mu, and I have accepted the appointment of General Zhengdong's mansion and become an official!" Cui Lin nodded seriously.

"This is...a good thing! You can use your talents to benefit the people of the world." Cui Yan seemed to have known about this for a long time and smiled boldly.

The Cui family of Qinghe County may still be considered a big family in Dongwucheng, Qinghe County, and its ancestors can be traced back to Cui Zhu, the Qi State's prime minister. But in fact, in today's era, compared to those famous families, it can be considered a poor family at best.

There is no ancestor in the family who is a high official, and no ancestor is under the shadow. By their generation, several good scholars had emerged and began to support the family.

It is good for Cui Lin to have such an opportunity.

He knows Cui Lin, his proud temperament, and Cui Lin's abilities.

Cui Lin has great ambitions in his heart, and he also has the ambition to shine on his family.

He had also heard about the incident in Luoyang, the capital of the gods, when he blocked the wedding of Lin Mu, the general who conquered the east. Some scholars and students said that Cui Lin was being used, but after he heard about it, he didn't say anything. It doesn't matter who takes advantage of whom, what matters is the result!

Cui Lin he got his results.

"If you really want to defect, the Yuan family is actually the best choice...Lin Mu, it's a risky move!" Cui Yan thought in his mind.

"I am currently supervising the construction of [Buqi Academy] in Buqishan... so I stopped by to see my elder brother." Cui Lin said again, interrupting Cui Yan's thoughts.

"Besides, since I've become an official, I also want to join my eldest brother in becoming an official." After a moment of silence, Cui Lin directly suggested.

Cui Yan smiled when he heard this. He knew Guo Jia's purpose of coming here. Not to report on the construction of Buqishan Academy, but to him!

However, his younger brother Cui Lin was recruited by Lin Mu himself, so why did he become Guo Jia when he came to his place? Although Guo Jia is the governor of Kuaiji County, his talents are not very high.

When communicating privately with Guoyuan Jianyong and other scholars, they also joked that He Ming Guild would recruit them in the future.

Everyone expressed their expectations, and they were basically all high-ranking officials above the third rank. Of course, he, Cui Yan, is not the kind of stubborn and corrupt person. If he has a better choice, he doesn't need to look at his official position or family background.

"General Zhengdong's Mansion is thirsty for talents and wants to conquer the elder brother." Cui Lin stated his purpose.

"In today's court, General Zhengdong's lineage has complicated relationships with the Yuan family, Cao family, He family, Wang family, etc., which is not easy." Cui Yan did not answer directly, but spoke slowly.

"General Zhengdong Lin Mu seems to have unlimited glory, and he is the emperor's favorite. His journey eastward to search for the dragon's veins has yielded results, but in fact, General Zhengdong is very dangerous!"

"Liu Hong can put his lineage opposite the Yuan family and other big noble families and charge into the battle, but if the emperor gives up on him at that time, it will be difficult..." Cui Yan is also a smart outsider and can see clearly.

When Guo Jia heard Cui Yan's eloquent talk, he raised his eyebrows in surprise. This man's knowledge is indeed extraordinary. It is worthy of the evaluation of "clear and bright, elegant knowledge far away".

"No matter what, the current General Zhengdong Mansion is probably the most popular official in the court today!" Guo Jia said with a disapproving smile.

"Besides, that's it. Only those of us from poor families have a chance to get ahead. If we join the Yuan family and become their disciples, the competition will be great... we may even face the risk of being abandoned." Guo Jia said quietly.

"Haha... Governor Guo's words are reasonable, but they can't convince me." Cui Yan shook his head.

"The world is prosperous, but the destiny of the dynasty is corrupt. The great chaos is approaching. The noble families and so on are all passing by. Maybe in the future, we will be the protagonists of the world!" Guo Jia added.

"Also, I'm not here to persuade you today, it's your brother. I'm here to inspect the construction progress of the academy and pay a visit to Senior Zheng Xuan." Guo Jia smiled slightly and shook his head.

"Brother, I am going to surrender all the Cui family to Lin Mu."

…

"Brother Zini, why don't we go to No. 1 Courtyard for a stroll?" Jian Yong's dark eyes showed a glimmer of light, and he teased as if unintentionally.

Hearing this, Guoyuan's heart moved. He pondered for a while and then said, "Okay. If he is Ji Gui's elder, we can go over and pay him respects. It would not be rude. If he is a talented person of the same generation, we can also make friends."

In fact, he was also curious about the person Cui Yan saw.

"Okay, let's go!" After Jian Yong was confirmed, he pulled Guo Yuan and rushed over.

However, when they reached the gate of the simple and exquisite courtyard, they were blocked.

And the one who stopped them was not the servants, but Guo Jia!

The majestic Guo Jia stood quietly leaning against the courtyard gate, looking calm and calm. A sense of wantonness permeated the air.

This surprised the two of them. Because some people stand out even if they are still in the crowd. The person in front of me is extraordinary.

They didn't know Guo Jia. Although they had heard Guo Jia's name and even talked about it, they had never seen Guo Jia's appearance. Cui Yan also found out after his introduction.

"You two, stop there. We are currently discussing some private matters in the courtyard and it is not convenient to visit." Guo Jia did not move and looked at the two of them calmly.

Lin Mu should have been the one to recruit Cui Yan himself. After all, his younger brothers were like this. Otherwise, he would be inferior and others would look down on Cui Yan.

Although Cui Yanfeng Gao Liangjie would not think so, gossip is a sharp weapon.

But in this process, the most suitable and convincing person is not Lin Mu, but Cui Lin himself!

It will be said in the future: Cui Lin served the country and the people, persuaded his eldest brother to join the court, and became a double hero.

Compared with "The Ming Dynasty's pastor was so thirsty for talents that he personally went to private schools and cottages to look for talents", which is more acceptable to the world!

After all, the latter praises Lin Mu's virtuousness, while the former praises Cui Lin and Cui's integrity, which has a very different meaning.

When recruiting talented people, these details are very important.

"What do you call this brother?" If you can't enter, it means that there are really confidential matters being discussed inside, so you can't be rude, so Jian Yong immediately pointed at Guo Jia and asked.

"I am Guo Fengxiao of Yingchuan." Guo Jia introduced with a calm expression.

It's not that Guo Jia didn't hide himself, but that he couldn't. The fact that he came to visit Zheng Xuan will definitely spread later, and some scholars who have seen him will also spread the news about his appearance.

"It turns out to be Fu Jun!" Upon hearing this, the two people immediately reacted and bowed respectfully.

"I'm in the lower country, Guoyuan Guozini, and I've met Mr. Fu!"

"Jian Yong, Jian Xianhe, I have met Mr. Fu!"

They are white, so of course they have to be respectful.

When he bowed down to salute, a complex color appeared in Jian Yong's dark eyes.

An official of the faction of General Lin Mu who conquered the East...

That person in the courtyard...could it be General Lin Mu who conquered the East? ! !

Wasn't it rumored a few days ago that General Lin Mu, the general of the Eastern Expedition, had found the dragon's veins, and that the voice of heaven had been heard in the circle of strangers? Is he coming back now?

The two looked at each other and saw the solemnity and surprise on each other's faces.

As for Guo Jia, when he looked at Jian Yong, his brows raised slightly, and a strange arc appeared at the corner of his mouth.

…

In the courtyard, Cui Yan was staring at Cui Lin in shock.

"Do you know what the words just said mean?" Cui Yan said calmly.

"I know." Cui Lin nodded seriously.

"Haha... I was thinking before that you would serve as an official in the Zhengdong General faction and I would become a disciple of the Yuan family or other prominent officials, but I didn't expect that you would also want to bring me along." Cui Yan smiled and shook his head. road.

"You have such decisive thoughts, you must know some secrets..." Cui Yan is indeed a smart person, and he can understand everything at once. Of course, he also knew Cui Lin well enough.

It has been a while since Lin Mu's wedding, which also means that Cui Lin has been under his command for a while and has understood certain things.

Cui Lin did not explain this matter to him immediately, which proved that Cui Lin did not want to put down the entire Cui family on one ship. Otherwise, if the boat capsizes, the Cui family will collapse.

But now that he is making such a decision related to the fate of the family, it means that he has seen a very important secret that can affect the fate of the family!

"Yes...I..." Cui Lin wanted to say something.

"Needless to say, I don't want to hear those secrets yet." Cui Yan stopped Cui Lin.

"Haha!!!" Cui Lin heard this and looked at Cui Yan. The two looked at each other and smiled, just like the time when they were children under the banyan tree in that dilapidated private school...

Although Cui Yan is the eldest brother, Cui Lin's opinion is also very important. Moreover, at the beginning, only one of them could come to study under Zheng Xuan. Cui Lin gave the opportunity to Cui Yan, and Cui Lin studied in his hometown... There are many, many stories...

It was only after Lin Mu, Guo Jia and others knew these stories that they formulated today's recruitment.

Today's Guo Jia is really a supporting role.

"Since you have decided, that's fine. However, I still have to wait for a while. The teacher is developing his academy..."

"Hmm..." Cui Lin nodded seriously.

Cui's fate rests on the shoulders of two young juniors!

"What arrangements are there for me over there?" Cui Yan said quietly after thinking for a while.

"I want my eldest brother to return to his hometown and become the county king, slowly plan and accumulate merits... and then maybe become the governor of a specific county..." Cui Lin said quietly.

"Haha... Are you so willing?" He has laid such a foundation and paved the way before even examining him. How heroic.
