Chapter 139 Yu Zheng

Zhang Xian, who was sitting on the main seat, had a serious expression at first, until Liu Jing rejected Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao's offer without hesitation, he was secretly relieved, and couldn't help but smiled to the state officials: "Zhongda is my Changsha The crown of a scholar, the servant also entrusts him with the responsibility of a confidant, even if Liu Shijun has a heart of love for talents, it can only be in vain."

The state officials seemed very calm. There were too many people who should not have been ordered by the Ministry of History. For example, Liu Ba and Liu Zichu of Lingling County, the Ministry of History had tried several times but failed.Liu Jing is now more famous than Liu Ba, so it is normal to refuse several times.

The state official clasped his fists at Liu Jing and said, "Since I should not order the Ministry of History, I will leave." After speaking, he bowed goodbye to Zhang Xian in the hall, and then left the room.

Zhang Xian watched the state official leave, feeling very displeased in his heart. Although this person was not rude to him, he also lacked awe.

He was the majestic prefect of Changsha, and he was actually "scorned" by a small state official, which definitely has something to do with Liu Biao.Because he separated Jingnan and fought against Liu Biao, he was regarded as a thorn in the side and a thorn in the flesh, and he was never respectful.The people below are just "following what they like".

The conflict with Liu Biao is not a day or two, and the relationship between the two will continue to deteriorate in the future, until... war.

In fact, Zhang Xian didn't want to go to this last step, he was not a person with too much ambition, he just wanted to continue to maintain his current power, but unfortunately Liu Biao was destined not to fulfill his wish.

Zhang Xian suppressed his thoughts and said to Liu Jing: "Zhongda, you have extraordinary talents. You were praised as a 'Wang Zuozhi talent' by Deng Xi in Zhizhong, and a 'national weapon' by Song Zhong, who was engaged in the Five Classics. Liu Jingzhou loves you very much. I'm not surprised, but I didn't expect that when faced with Liu Jingzhou's solicitation, you didn't even want to reject it flatly."

"It seems that he has eyes and ears in Xiangyang." Liu Jing thought.This is also normal, Liu Biao is his only big enemy, so he will naturally try his best to set up his eyes and ears so as to monitor him.

"Your Majesty has a lot of trust in your subordinates, and you have entrusted them with the position of confidant. Not long after you took office, your subordinates took leave for several months due to private matters. Now that you have returned, you have not yet repaid your Majesty. In case, how can you bear to leave like this?" Liu Jing seemed to be He was expressing his loyalty to Zhang Xian, but he didn't say anything to death.

"Zhongda does not disappoint the servant, and the servant does not disappoint Zhongda. After staying for a few years, the servant will regard Zhongda as filial and honest, and give him the land of a county." Zhang Xian obviously heard the meaning of Liu Jing's words, Once again, the tried-and-true trick - painting big cakes.

Liu Jing thanked him "knowledgeably" and said: "In the future, the officials will do their best and be brave enough to do things, so as to repay the kindness and kindness of the lord."

"Mianzhi, Mianzhi..." Zhang Xian smiled gratifiedly.

Soon, Liu Jing retreated slowly and returned to the main registry. Since the conquest of the State Governor's Department was something he expected, he was not disturbed and he focused on processing the official documents.And his "words and deeds" were naturally passed into Zhang Xian's ears through other people's mouths, so he felt more at ease.

More than ten days passed by, time quietly entered December, and there was only the last month left in the first year of Jian'an.

As Liu Jing expected, at the beginning of December, people from Xiangyang came again, this time on behalf of the Zhennan General's Mansion, and appointed Liu Jing as a Zhonglang.This job is completely different from the previous job of the State Governor's Department. The job of the Department of Governor's History is only a small official with a hundred stones, while the Zhonglang in the Zhennan General's Mansion is an official with more than six hundred stones.

This time Liu Jing deliberately acted hesitant, hesitating for a long time before refusing, which almost made Zhang Xian break out in a cold sweat.

From an official to an official career, for most people, it is an unattainable fantasy in a lifetime.Faced with Liu Biao's offer of more than six hundred stones, not everyone has the courage to refuse. In Zhang Xian's view, Liu Jing's hesitation is human nature, and it is the most difficult thing to refuse in the end.

Just because he knew how precious Liu Jing's rejection was, Zhang Xian felt that no matter what he couldn't chill his heart, he no longer drew an illusory pie like before, but told Liu Jing explicitly that the year after tomorrow, that is, when he was full When the crown was weak, he was immediately promoted as Xiaolian, and a hundred miles of land was given to him.

At the age of 20, Xiaolian was promoted as the county magistrate, which was already the fastest speed in this dynasty, and Yuan Shao's family was prosperous, and it was nothing more than that.

Of course, this refers to before the troubled times, when the system of etiquette and law collapsed long ago. Zhang Yi's [-]th promotion of filial piety was the order of Linxiang, and Sun Quan's [-]th promotion of filial piety was the head of Yang Xian.

Regarding this, Liu Jing didn't feel any disturbance in his heart. Liu Biao's direct conferment of an official position this time surprised him. He had some expectations for Zhang Xian. The goal was achieved on the basis of offending Liu Biao, but Zhang Xian had no such intention, which made his expectations come to nothing.

Since Zhang Xian is unwilling to make an exception for him, he can only continue to follow the plan.

"November, December, the last fire, when it's the first month of next year... Liu Biao probably won't choose Zhengdan to celebrate, right? Doing that is almost the same as turning his face directly." Liu Jing thought silently.

Time continued to move forward slowly but firmly. As Zhengdan approached, Liu Jing was very busy, but his heart was peaceful.Because he knew in his heart that the countdown had already begun for him in the position of master bookkeeper.

On this day, Cao Jiji, the left thief, came to see him in the chief registry, saying that his subordinates had caught a "suspicious-looking" person outside the gate of the county mansion. After hearing about it, I didn't dare to be negligent, so I went directly to Liu Jing for verification.

Liu Jing didn't need to ask carefully to know that this person must be Yu Zheng, his playmate in Xiangyang in the past.

A few months ago, he had a conflict with the sons of the Cai family in Xiangyang, and fled south after stabbing him. Liu Jing guessed at the time that he would come to Changsha to join him in all likelihood, but he just waited and waited, but he was never seen. Something happened or went to someone else.

With Liu Jing's confirmation, the results will soon be sent to Zheng Zheng.

Yu Zheng was about twenty years old, nearly eight feet tall, with a majestic body like a mountain, protruding face and nose, and an astonishing aura. He looked like a hero and knight-errant, and he spoke with a northern accent, and wandered around in front of the county mansion. It is not surprising that the thief Cao officials regard him as a suspicious person.

Liu Jing bypassed the book case, came to Yu Zheng, laughed and said, "Zixiang, you made me wait so hard, why did you come so late?"

"It's hard to explain this matter." Yu Zheng sighed: "Zhongda, you seem to be a different person, I almost dare not recognize you."

Liu Jing said with a smile: "No matter how it changes, I am still Liu Jing and Liu Zhongda."

Yu Zheng nodded and said: "I heard that you are married, congratulations on marrying a girl from the Deng family as you wished, but unfortunately I was not able to attend your wedding."

Liu Jingdao: "It's okay, when I quit my job, I will take you to my house to meet my wife."

"it is good."
