But no matter what the truth is, now that they have become his disciples, Chen Kan cannot let them follow the old path of history.
His disciple must be a glorious existence for the ages.
The two of them met Chen Kan's loving eyes. After a moment of silence, Zhu Zhanji said calmly: "Teacher, can you allow me to think about this matter?"
Chen Kan nodded slightly: "That's natural. Anyway, the road is blocked by heavy snow now. You guys think about it slowly."
Zhu Zhanji nodded, then looked at Zhu Zhanhe and said, "Xiaohe, come with me."
Zhu Zhanhe glanced at Chen Kan, who smiled slightly and said, "He is not only your senior brother, but also your eldest brother, go ahead!"
After receiving Chen Kan's permission, Zhu Zhanhe trotted to catch up with Zhu Zhanji.
As soon as the two left, only Chen Kan and Hua Shi were left under the covered bridge.
Hua Shi looked at the retreating figures of Zhu Zhanji and Zhu Zhanhe, then looked at Chen Kan, then pulled over and asked in a low voice: "Teacher, since you have met the father of the senior brother and junior brother, have you met them? My mother?"
"Of course I did. I also told her about your studies."
Chen Kan answered Hua Shi's question with a smile, and Hua Shi's little face became excited.
Hua Shi also followed Chen Kan at a young age, but compared to Zhu Zhanji and Zhu Zhanhe who had no fatherly or maternal love at all, he at least had a mother who loved him and an uncle who was devoted to him.
Hua Shi continued to ask: "Teacher, what did my mother say?"
"Your mother praised you and asked you to learn your skills well so that you can revitalize the family in the future. In addition, your mother has saved a lot of money for you, which is enough for you to spend in ten lifetimes."
After all, Hua Shi was still a child. After hearing what Chen Kan said, she couldn't help but smile.
He just laughed for a while and then frowned again.
Noticing the change in Hua Shi's expression, Chen Kan couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong? Do you miss your mother?"
Hua Shi nodded, then shook her head.
"I kind of wanted to, but my mother told me to learn my skills from the teacher."
Chen Kan said: "It doesn't matter. If you miss her, go back and see her. I estimate that your senior brother and junior brother will eventually choose to return to Beijing. You should go back with them. It will be a good time to tell your mother that you have been following her for the past few years." What skills have you learned as a teacher?"
Hua Shi tilted her head and thought for a while, then nodded heavily and said, "Okay!"
Chen Kan's words were almost like an imperial edict in Hua Shi's heart. Since the teacher told him to go back, he would go back.
While the master and apprentice were talking, Zhu Zhanji and Zhu Zhanhe also discussed it, and they walked side by side towards Chen Kan.
Zhu Zhanji hesitated for a moment, then raised his head and looked into Chen Kan's eyes and said seriously: "Teacher, after discussing with Brother He, I have decided to return to the capital."
Chen Kan nodded, this result was within his expectation.
Zhu Zhanji and Zhu Zhanhe are both sensible children. Since this is Grandpa Huang's order, they will go back and take a look.
Of course, they don't have to leave, but that will inevitably make Grandpa Huang have a problem with the teacher, thinking that Chen Kan is deliberately holding them back from returning to Beijing.
Now that they can think about things, they might as well go back and take a look.
After hearing Zhu Zhanji's decision, Chen Kan asked: "Has the decision been made?"
"Disciple has made his decision. No matter how my father and second uncle fight, my brother and I will always be brothers."
Zhu Zhanji's words were so decisive that Zhu Zhanhe couldn't help nodding his little head in agreement.
Chen Kan nodded and said nothing more.
Zhu Zhanji has always had ideas since he was a child. Now that he has decided to go back and have a look, Chen Kan, a teacher, can only support him.
"By the way, your second junior brother also wants to go back to the capital to see his mother. When you leave, remember to take him with you."
Chen Kan gave the instructions, then stood up and left, leaving the place to his three brothers.
...
Chen Kan walked straight to the study, where Chen Qia had already started writing furiously.
He is preparing to go to Liaodong.
Chen Kan walked closer and picked up the plan he had written and read it for a while.
Suddenly he chuckled and said: "Old Chen, do you know why there is an old saying that it takes ten years for scholars to rebel?"
Chen Qia put the brush in his hand back to Beacon Hill and responded dissatisfiedly: "If you have anything to say, just say it. I hate others to fight with me most in my life."
Chen Kan curled his lips, pulled out a stool and sat down, and then said calmly: "You scholars, you are too meticulous in doing things, and every plan must be made in great detail.
As everyone knows, good luck does not come true. The more detailed the plan, the more links it involves and the easier it is to make mistakes.
Looking ahead, looking back, hesitating, and losing everything with one careless move, this is the reason why the scholar's rebellion failed for ten years. "
Chen Qia took his plan away from Chen Kan's hand and said, "So, the Marquis is here to talk sarcastically with me?"
"Of course not, I just came to tell you what kind of methods I have arranged in Liaodong."
"Then say it!"
Chen Qia leaned on the chair and quietly waited for Chen Kan's next words.
Chen Kan thought for a moment, then sat up straight and said calmly: "When you go to Liaodong, the Jurchens of the East China Sea can be your help. I sent Xu Su there before.
But this Xu Su was less capable and could only help the East China Sea Jurchens gain a foothold in Liaodong, but could not make progress.
After you go to Liaodong, several caravans will take the initiative to contact you. Don't ask what caravan they are, you just need to know that they are forces you can use.
Within half a year, all the Jurchens must enter the peninsula, because I plan to grow summer grain on the black soil of Liaodong.
..."
Chen Kan spent half an hour explaining clearly all his arrangements in Liaodong for Chen Qia. These things should have been discussed last night.
But Chen Kan was not sure how much he could remember about Chen Qia's state at that time, and it was also very late, so it was delayed.
After Chen Qia heard some of the ambush Chen Kan had planted in Liaodong, his face couldn't help but lighten up.
"You said that Xu Su is really useless. You provided him with such good conditions, and he was able to bring the situation in Liaodong to a stalemate."
Chen Qia complained, and then assured: "Don't worry, I have not served as an official for nothing for half my life. If you ask me to lead troops and fight, I may not be good at it, but I am an ancestor-level figure when it comes to playing tricks."
Chen Kan discovered that Chen Qia had become a little bad after spending some time with him. In the past, such words would never have come out of Chen Qia's mouth.
You must know that Chen Qia was not only a third-rank official in the court, but also a master-level figure in knowledge.
Although his reputation among scholars is not as good as that of Fang Xiaoru, he is still an indispensable mainstay of Confucianism.
However, Chen Kan didn't think there was anything wrong with Chen Qia's behavior. On the contrary, he could feel a strong sense of confidence from Chen Qia.
It was as if after quitting the court, his nature was suddenly liberated.
After talking about Liaodong's affairs, the two fell silent.
Chen Kan thought about it carefully and after confirming that nothing was missing, he planned to get up and leave.
But just as he stood up, a name suddenly appeared in his mind.
So Chen Kan sat down again.
"Why, is there anything missing?"
Chen Kan nodded and said: "When you go to Liaodong, you should pay attention to Meng Brother Timur. Xu Su and Meng Brother Suhan both fell into this person, which shows that he still has some abilities. If something happens in Liaodong The source of the variable must be this person."
"Brother Timur!"
Chen Qia repeated the name and then nodded in agreement.
Since Chen Kan said that this person is not simple, then this person must not be simple, and he is not the ordinary kind.
Chen Qia has always been a cautious person. Even though he said something arrogant just now, when he should be cautious, he would never make a fool of himself.
"Is this the only one?"
Chen Kan thought for a while, and it seems that this person's name has been recorded in the history books. There may be other people who were very powerful but did not leave their names in the history books, but they are definitely not as good as Tamerlane.
So he nodded with certainty and said: "No more for now, just this one. Even if there are other noteworthy people, they should all be around this person."
"Okay, I understand."
After the two of them finished planning, it was time for lunch.
After leaving the study room, Chen Kan discovered that the goose-feather-like heavy snow in the sky had turned into light snow at some point.
Chen Qia stretched his arms out from the bridge, and soon a few snowflakes fell on his sleeves.
"The snow is about to stop, and it's time for me to set off."
Chen Qia dusted off the snowflakes on his sleeves, his tone full of infinite desolation.
Chen Kan couldn't stand the scholar's sour attitude, so he took over the conversation and said: "You are here to perform meritorious service, not to be assigned. Don't do anything that hurts the spring and autumn. Maybe you will become famous in one battle and be rehabilitated." Opportunity."
Chen Qia's spellcasting was ruthlessly interrupted by Chen Kan, and he suddenly said angrily: "This is so vulgar!"
He left behind an angry word and walked away.
Chen Kan touched his nose and couldn't help but smile.
He knew that what he just said definitely scratched Chen Qia's itch.
If this thing is done well, maybe he can really be vindicated, and he can live to see his grievances vindicated. It's weird to think about it.
Even if he cannot be rehabilitated, he can still go down in history in another way.
Although the truth of this period of history will be artificially covered up in a short period of time, over time, the truth will always be revealed.
On the day when the truth is revealed, he will show his righteousness and his righteousness, and his light will surely blind the eyes of future generations.
So Chen Kan bets that Chen Qia is angry on the surface, but he must be happy in his heart.
Walking to the dining hall slowly, he saw Chen Qia and the three little guys already sitting upright. As for Chang Ning, he usually didn't come to the dining hall to eat when there were outsiders.
Chen Kan came to the main seat and sat down. Chen Qia turned away as if he was angry.
Chen Kan didn't care at all, he just nodded towards Yuncheng and said, "Let's serve!"
As soon as Chen Kan finished speaking, a row of maids brought all kinds of delicacies to the table.
The three little guys looked at Chen Kan eagerly. After Chen Kan slowly picked up his chopsticks, the dinner table suddenly became lively.
