I will be the master of Xuande

Chapter 55 Liu Jian, will he become a role model for scholars?

Lu Qian personally went to Liu's house to give gifts to congratulate, and within two days Gongsun Zan also came. He brought more gifts than the last time he pleaded guilty, and he yelled at the top of his voice as soon as he got out of the car, fearing that Liu She's neighbors would not know It's the same as the county magistrate.

"Brother, I'm here to congratulate you!"

This voice was so high-pitched that it almost didn't shake the birds from the tree.

His carriage was already eye-catching, but now it is so high-profile, it naturally attracted everyone around to watch.

Liu Jian, Liu Zhou and others quickly came out of the house to greet them.

After seeing the ceremony, Liu Jian stepped forward and grabbed Gongsun Zan's hand, laughed loudly and said, "Brother Bogui came to congratulate you, let's let go of the succulents! Big brother, please come in!"

The two entered the house hand in hand, and Gongsun Zan walked with Liu Jian while smiling and said: "Brother, you just roared outside the house, which attracted the attention of everyone around you. Within half a day, the county lord personally came to your house to congratulate you." This matter will spread throughout Zhuo County! My dear brother, will this move make you look more embarrassing?"

Liu Jian secretly laughed, never expecting that Gongsun Zan had such an idea.

In fact, there was no need for Gongsun Zan to help him earn money like this. With his current power in Zhuo County, as soon as Gongsun Zan stepped out of the gate, the news that he came to his house would spread throughout Zhuo County.

You need to know, not to mention him as a county magistrate, even if the county guard came in person yesterday, wouldn't he be able to let the whole Zhuo County know about it overnight?
The current Liu Jian is no longer the Liu Jian of the past.

However, although Gongsun Zan's move was just superfluous, it was still out of good intentions. Even if it was useless, Liu Jian still needed to receive it.

"It's still thanks to brother for thinking of me, Jian thank you here!"

Gongsun Zan laughed loudly and said, "Tomorrow will prosper, so don't forget each other!"

"What are you talking about, brother? I'm still counting on my brother from now on."

Gongsun sighed, waved his hands and said: "Actually, before coming to Zhuo County, a certain person thought he was a hero, and in this officialdom, he would surely achieve great success sooner or later, but after meeting a good brother in Zhuo County, looking at him In less than two years, you have not only achieved great success, but also been favored by Mr. Zheng to recruit a son-in-law..."

"Hey! If you say that you are not jealous at all, it is absolutely impossible!"

"But I also know that there is indeed a gap between my brother and you. My Gongsun family now monopolizes Hebei horse market together with your brother Su Shuang. I think Su Shuang should be yours too? Before you made a move, he It's just a pawn in the market."

Liu Jian looked at Gongsun Zan seriously, and began to plan in his heart.

Since Gongsun Zan has already said this, if I don't say no again, wouldn't it be a waste of fellowship!

Perhaps, this senior brother can also be a good general for me in the future.

Thinking of this, Liu Jian stretched out his hand, patted Gongsun Zan's hand and said, "If Brother Meng doesn't give up, we will advance and retreat together from now on, how about it?"

Gongsun Zan came here today because he wanted to hear Liu Jian's words.

Although he has a narrow personality, he is not without vision. After becoming Zheng Xuan's son-in-law, Gongsun Zan naturally has a clear heart about what position Liu Jian will hold in the scholarly circle in the future!
But what Liu Jian has now happens to be beyond Gongsun Zan's wish.

At that moment, I saw Gongsun Zan cupping his hands towards Liu Jian: "I am relieved to have the words of my virtuous brother. I know that I have more than enough bravery, but not enough wisdom. I will ask my virtuous brother to advise me a little bit about future official affairs."

"It's easy to say, brother and I, why should we be polite? What brother said just now is very true. Brother has a straightforward personality, inherits the style of a hero in the border county, has both courage and military, and does not like power and strategy. If you are in the officialdom, it is far less effective than earning military merits. In the Battle of the Fortress, my elder brother also participated in meritorious service, why hasn't he been promoted so far?"

Gongsun Zan sighed, "Hey! After all, we still have to wait until the end of this term, right? After all, I have not been the magistrate of Zhuo County for three years."

"By the way, my dear brother, what do you think of our new Fang Bo in Youzhou, Liu Yu and Liu Bo'an?"

"I don't know him, and I don't know everything about his life, what do you think, brother?"

Gongsun Zan shook his head: "I don't think this person is good! He is gentle in his work, and he is also gentle in his treatment of foreigners. If such people were in the Central Plains states, they could barely be called personalities. Here... hmph!"

Liu Jian touched his sleeve calmly and did not make any further comments.

Liu Yu in history was eventually killed by Gongsun Zan, but this incident did indeed deal a devastating blow to Gongsun Zan.

Since Gongsun Zan was already in his camp, there were some situations that he couldn't ignore after all.

"Brother Gongsun."

"Ok?"

"Liu Bo'an is a famous man in the world, a descendant of Guangwu, but you are a fierce general who is motivated to wipe out the barbarians in the frontier. It is normal that you can't get along with some things, but you should not be extreme in your dealings."

"Ahaha, I just said it casually, why do you think so much? I just don't like him, how can I kill him?"

"Just to remind you, if you don't kill him now, who knows if you will do some stupid things when you get rich in the future."

Gongsun Zan was startled when he heard the words: "My dear brother, you can't take this joke!"

"Hahaha, brother Gongsun is also afraid sometimes."

Seeing Liu Jian laughing, Gongsun Zan relaxed a little. It seemed that he was a little too nervous just now.

"By the way, how is Xuande doing now? Where will he work after this great achievement?"

Liu Jian said: "When I came back, he had already gone to work in Guanjin County, Anping, Jizhou. Like his brother, he was also a county magistrate."

When Gongsun Zan heard about Liu Bei's position, he was somewhat worried.

"Deran, that place is not very good. The land of Jizhou has always been a place where wealthy clans are everywhere, clans are entrenched, and powerful people are everywhere. Xuande is there to say whether he is good or not. Just say that this governing place, if there is no one With the help of two wealthy families, I'm afraid the county magistrate will have a hard time doing it."

"Brother, don't worry, he is not without helpers there. When Xuande was young and studying abroad, he shared an adventure with a man in Jizhou, and he was his acquaintance. The person is the famous scholar Le Yin, with these two layers of relationship, Xuande will not be too sad if he wants to come to Guanjin."

Gongsun Zan wondered: "Guanjin's leading the family is nothing more than that, but the leading move is just a student of Le Yin. If you think about it, Le Yin will not easily agree to the invitation of a student, right?"

"Hahaha~~"

Liu Jian laughed loudly when he heard the words: "Le Yin can not give face to his disciples, but he must give some face to Qinghe Cui's!"

"Qinghe Cui family?"

Gongsun Zan's face changed slightly when he heard the words.

Qinghe is close to Anping Kingdom, and has great influence in the south of Xindu. If there is a word from the Qinghe Cui family, let alone Le Yin leading the Guanjin scholars to help Liu Bei, it will be Liu Bei's officialdom in Anping in the future. It can also go smoothly, and will not be squeezed out by local gentry and tyrants.

"But how can you get in touch with the Cui family of Qinghe?" Gongsun Zan asked very puzzled.

Liu Jian stood up, turned around and walked into the house. When he was young, he saw him stabbing out with a gift list in his hand.

He put the famous thorn in front of Gongsun Zan, and said, "You don't need to make a relationship, I will send it to your door! The Cui family of Qinghe traveled thousands of miles from Jizhou to Zhuo County to congratulate me on my wedding."

The muscles on Gongsun Zan's face twitched back and forth in shock: "Qinghe Cui took the initiative to contact you? This, why?"

Liu Jiandao: "The Cui family of Qinghe wants to send Cui Lin, the eldest son of the clan, and Cui Yan to study scriptures under my father-in-law's family. It is estimated that they have secretly found a relationship in Hebei before. They have a lot of connections in Hebei, but they may not be so easy to use in Qingzhou. , now that my big son-in-law of the Zheng family is born in Youzhou, if they don’t hurry up and make friends with me, who else is more suitable?”

Gongsun Zan put down the name card, and sighed long and hard: "I originally thought that I, the son-in-law of the county guard, would already be great, but I never thought that you, the son-in-law of the Zheng family, would be even more so. The benefits are not only a thousand times greater than mine, the Qinghe Cui family is only just beginning, and I don’t know how many famous families will want to make friends with you in the future?! Envy, envy..."

Speaking of this, Gongsun Zan suddenly remembered something: "No, Mr. Zheng is also a member of the party now. If you become his son-in-law, how can you be a filial and honest official?"

Liu Jian smiled and said: "Brother, don't worry, my teacher told me yesterday that there is a new order from Luoyang, and a group of fringe party members have been released. My father-in-law's name is among these people."

Gongsun Zan was completely dumbfounded when he heard this.

"You already knew the news?"

Liu Jian shook his head and said, "Of course I don't know, Master Lu doesn't even know, how can I know?"

Gongsun Zan looked at him in surprise, "If you really don't know, then, if you marry the Zheng family this time, won't you become his family's son-in-law who is in danger, and the love of adversity?"

Liu Jian said with a smile: "That's right, I became Master Zheng's son-in-law when he was in trouble, which shows that I am not greedy for his reputation and influence among the two rows of scholars in ancient and modern literature. I am purely a friend in adversity."

"Hey, when this matter spreads all over the world, I don't know if my reputation of benevolence and righteousness will be regarded as a model by the world's scholars? But compared to this, I am a little worried about whether my wife who has never been educated is really ugly. Female... oh, so upset, so upset."

Gongsun Zan was stunned for a while, then suddenly grabbed Liu Jian's hands and said solemnly:

"Brother, if you don't give up, you can let me know if there is anything in the future. As long as it is something that brother can do, I will do my best!"

This little junior brother is too powerful, he will become a role model for the world sooner or later, I have to quickly climb up to it!
