Luoyang City, Chen Mansion.
Chen Qun and Zheng Hun sat upright in the main hall.
Zheng Hun's face was relaxed at the moment, full of smiles and excitement: "Brother Chen, your Nine-Rank Zhongzheng System is amazing!"
"If it can really be implemented, our family can enjoy prosperity and wealth along with the empire for generations, and even..."
Before he could finish his words, Chen Qun said sternly, "Be careful, walls have ears. Never say such things carelessly. Otherwise, we may get into trouble one day."
Zheng Hun shut up and subconsciously looked around. When he found that there was no one around, he smiled and said, "Brother Chen is really too cautious, but it is precisely because of this that we old guys are convinced by you."
"Do you think Zhen Yi's words can influence the emperor?"
Chen Qun sighed: "Although the emperor is young, he is very thoughtful. No one can figure out what he is thinking."
"I have proposed the Nine-Rank System, and I am sure that I will get the support of the noble families and officials in the world."
"But whether this power can make His Majesty compromise is still uncertain."
Zheng Hun showed a hint of disdain in his eyes: "Brother Chen, you think too highly of that person, don't you?"
"Does he dare to be an enemy of the world?"
"Although he has made great achievements in battle, he still needs to consider stability, right?"
"We can't just run the government recklessly. This will definitely lead to chaos in the world."
Chen Qun shook his head: "You still don't understand this emperor."
"He's not even in a hurry to take the throne, so how could he compromise with the likes of us?"
"You overestimate our strength and underestimate his courage."
"I am sure that if he does not agree to my proposal, we will be doomed."
Zheng Hun was stunned, with a complex light flashing in his eyes: "Brother Chen, your words make me feel a little unfathomable."
"If you know it will bring trouble to yourself, why do you still bring it up? And you even drag my Zheng family into it."
"you."
Chen Qun lowered his voice and said, "Just because it's impossible now doesn't mean it won't be possible in the future."
"If one of the five daughters of the Zhen family becomes a queen, the power of the Zhen family will expand rapidly. At that time, with our support, the power will be even greater."
"Maybe he'll agree."
"Even if we really disagree, we can just keep waiting, waiting for the next generation. We may not have no chance."
"What we need now is to convince Zhen Yi to let his Zhen family take the lead for us, and we will wait in the back and watch the fight from the mountain."
Zheng Hun suddenly realized and breathed a sigh of relief: "Great, great!"
"It's nice to be under a big tree and with the Zhen family supporting us, our pressure isn't that great."
"But do we really need to be so scared?"
"I really don't believe that the emperor would ignore the reactions of his people."
"He is also from a noble family. He can't just kill people like us, right?"
"Besides, we are not powerless. We have the people, food, and control."
"As long as we operate properly, the entire Luoyang City will be turned upside down."
This was extremely arrogant. Chen Qun frowned and said, "Brother Zheng, don't say such things casually, especially in front of me." "I warn you again, if you want to show your ability, don't bring my Chen family with you. I don't want to die."
"Understand?"
Zheng Hun smiled awkwardly: "Brother Chen, this is just a joke, how can you take it seriously?"
"I am convinced by you, otherwise I would not listen to you."
"What should we do next?"
Chen Qun's expression eased a lot: "Spread the word that the daughter of the Zhen family was seen by a physiognomist, who said that she has the appearance of a queen, and she is indescribably noble!"
Zheng Hun laughed and clapped his hands, saying, "Great!"
"This way, Zhen Yi will have no way out."
"Unless he is willing to give up the position of queen, he will have no choice but to fight for it."
"And if you want to gain people's support, you need our support."
"wonderful!!"
Chen Qun waved his hand, and Zheng Hun said nothing more and quickly retreated.
After he left, Chen Qun sighed: "I don't know whether this move is right or wrong."
"How could the situation change so quickly?"
"If we give them more time, we can negotiate terms with them, but now..."
"I can only create my own chips."
"Unfortunately"
"Tap Tap"
There was a sound of hurried footsteps, and the housekeeper came to Chen Qun quickly and said, "Master, there are two people outside who came to visit us. They said they are your old friends. They saw that the Chen Mansion was shrouded in blood, so they came to help us break the situation."
Chen Qun frowned, "When did these sorcerers dare to deceive my Chen family? Damn it!"
"Get them out, beat them out!"
The housekeeper hesitated and said, "They are called Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong, and they are also famous people in Kyoto. Does the master really want to drive them out?"
Chen Qun's expression changed: "These two people?"
"Why are they here? When did they target us?"
He asked several questions in a row, but no one could answer him.
Chen Qun took a deep breath and calmed down. After a brief moment of contemplation, he said, "Have someone bring them up to the main hall."
Before the housekeeper had even taken a few steps, Chen Qun chased after him and said, "I'll go there myself. You go to the kitchen right away and ask someone to prepare some good food and wine."
"Take out those jars of fine wine that I have collected. They will be of use today."
The butler nodded and left. After he walked away, Chen Qun walked quickly out of the mansion.
Outside the mansion, Chen Qun greeted Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong, who walked over quickly: "The arrival of two distinguished guests brings honor to our humble Chen family!"
