I will be the master of Xuande

Chapter 69
Cao Cao knew Yuan Shao well, in terms of ability, Yuan Shao definitely had it, and Cao Cao thought that Yuan Shao's ability was superior to his.

But it's a pity that in recent years, Ben Chu's actions are no longer as hasty as in the past. Instead, he has a lot of worries. Although he still has a lot of plans, when things come to an end, he will show hesitation from time to time.

However, Cao Cao didn't think Yuan Shao was at fault for doing so.

Just like Cao Cao, his ancestors in his family were giants of officials, but from the moment he was born, he carried the reputation of being an eunuch on his back, which made Cao Cao very angry and anxious.

These years he worked with Yuan Shao, and he made friends with the party members and helped him secretly. Although he still bears the name of an eunuch, but in the mouth of the gentry Qingliu people, it is not as good as before.

Therefore, Cao Cao can somewhat understand Yuan Shao's mood, and he also cherishes the current situation that has been changed through his efforts.

Those who broke through many difficulties like them to get to where they are today, naturally cherish their achievements far more than usual.

Therefore, to be on the safe side, it is reasonable for Yuan Shao to let Liu Jian not make friends for the time being.

He wanted to wait three months later, when this incident had passed, before showing favor to Liu Jian, so that he would be able to include the son-in-law of the Zheng family and a meritorious official in the Northland into the urn, and at the same time, Yuan Kai would not have anything to do with him. What opinion.

After hearing Yuan Shao's thoughts, Xu You nodded quickly and said, "Since I had the intention to subdue this person at the beginning, it would be better to wait for three months."

Yuan Shao turned to look at Cao Cao and said, "What do you mean by Meng De?"

Cao Cao was silent for a while, before he said in a low voice: "Dare to ask Benchu, what if Gonglu and Shishiji are ahead of you during this period?"

Yuan Shao laughed and said: "Impossible, my eldest brother is the son of the eldest son and the next suzerain. He was taught to be the guardian of the Yuan family since he was a child, and he pretends to be noble on weekdays. How can he treat a border county boy with integrity?" Intersect? As for the road...he doesn't have that head!"

"But you need to know that he is not an ordinary Bianjun boy, but the son-in-law of the Zheng family. Standing behind him are thousands of Zheng Xue disciples!"

Yuan Shao couldn't help but fell silent after hearing this.

He thought carefully for a while, and said: "No, you need to know what I am worried about. My brother and Gonglu will also be worried. They will even be heavier than I thought! Don't worry, after all Uncle is still alive."

……

After Liu Jian arrived in Luoyang, he rented a house in the southern suburbs of Luoyang to settle down. After all, the mansions in Luoyang city were too expensive, and he didn't need to live in such a house for the time being as an official.

Langguan in the Eastern Han Dynasty was divided into Yilang, Zhonglang, Shilang, and Langzhong. Among them, Yilang of [-] shi was used by many important officials for transitional use. Xiaolian, who had just entered an official position, would not be appointed, such as Tao who had just stepped down from the governor of Youzhou. Qian is still serving as Yilang in Beijing at the moment.

With Liu Jian's identity and background, it is reasonable to be a doctor, and then like other local officials, after a term of three years, if he passes the political review and evaluation, he will be promoted to be a minister.

In addition, there is Habayashi Lang in the palace, and like other Lang officials, they are all under the management of Guang Luxun, but Habayashi Lang is mostly a successor for the Bian Gong family's children, and he came to Beijing to take up the post with his family's martial arts. way.

Liu Jian has made great achievements, and this time the emperor also valued him quite a lot. With these two items, he has stepped up a ladder. Instead of being the lowest doctor, he made an exception as a servant.

Whether it is Zhonglang, Shilang, or Langzhong, they do not have fixed positions. The Nine Temples and the various departments in the capital will send them to the top wherever there is demand, just like the temporary workers of later generations. There are their figures.

In addition, there is another job, which is the duty of every Langguan, and must be done regularly, that is to take turns guarding the palace. Of course, the guards are generally dominated by Habayashi Lang, but the three departments Lang Guan should also assist on a regular basis.

Of course, it is not the turn of the Langguan to go to the Beigong Palace, which is the daily residence of the emperor and concubines, so theoretically speaking, the Langguans only stay in the Nangong Palace.

An emperor's palace where the figure of the emperor can hardly be seen.

After Liu Jian joined the job, because he was a newcomer, he had to schedule more frequent shifts in Suwei than some old officials.

This is also understandable. There are many old officials in the capital who have been working for ten or 20 years. They have been beaten by the emperor for most of their lives. What's wrong with you new kiddos?
……

"Ah~~!"

Liu Jian yawned for a long time, his spirits faded.

What he is in charge of guarding today is the royal road between the North Palace and the South Palace. If the emperor and his concubines come to the South Palace from the North Palace, it is naturally impossible to pass through the streets of Luoyang City directly, and must pass through the Royal Road, so here It is also a key point.

The West Garden is next to the North Palace, and Liu Hong is in love with the West Garden all day long. Basically, he will not come to the South Palace all year round, let alone in the middle of the night. Therefore, when these Lang officials are in the guard, they don't have to worry about running into the emperor at all. It's a peace of mind.

But tonight seems to be special.

The emperor didn't meet, but the eunuch did.

In the middle of the night, Lu Qiang, the Zhongchang servant, suddenly led someone from Yudao to Nangong, saying that he was ordered to monitor the guards.

Seeing the officials yawning and staggering, Lu Qiang directly scolded them.

These Lang officials are all from local filial and honest scholars, so they naturally disdain Lu Qiang, and they are very contemptuous in their hearts.

But after all, he is a Zhongchang servant, and his position is there, and he is on behalf of the emperor to monitor the guards, and these people on our side are indeed crooked and out of shape, and they hit their guns, and they can only feel wronged if they have grievances Li swallowed.

If there is any swearing, you can only swear in your stomach.

After reprimanding them, Lu Qiang randomly pointed out a Lang official to lead the way near the Yudao, and took him to Nangong to inspect various guards.

He, a casual person, "unfortunately" clicked on Liu Jian's head.

Therefore, Liu Jian led Lu Qiang to monitor the Nangong Zhugang under the gloating expressions of several Lang officials next to him.

After strolling around, they came to the side hall. Lu Qiang asked his young eunuch to wait outside. He wanted to go in to check the inner situation of the palace, and then asked Liu Jian to lead him in.

After entering the hall, he pretended to wander around for a while, and suddenly heard Lu Qiang say to Liu Jian: "You can know, why is this old man here today?"

Liu Jian stopped, turned to look at Lu Qiang, and said, "With the feelings and aspirations of Zhongchang serving the country and the people, I don't think it's really idle. Come to Nangong to check our sentry post?"

"Naturally not, Liu Deran. Although the old man is an eunuch, he is dedicated to the scholar. He has been advising His Majesty all the year round to reduce luxury, pay more attention to people's livelihood, reduce fighting, and devote himself to agriculture and mulberry. Alienation, now that Cao Jie and Wang Fu are both dead, Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong and others regard the old man as a thorn in their flesh, and wish they could get rid of it soon... Alas, the old man thought that he was worthy of others all his life. I feel like sitting on pins and needles every day, and I can't sleep at night."

After finishing speaking, Lu Qiang looked at Liu Jian and said: "I am a generation of elders, call me a little nephew, the old man can see that you are not ordinary, different from others, and I came here today, just want to continue what I didn't say last time." If it's over, let's finish it...Little nephew Deran, can you help the old man?"

Liu Jian sighed and said: "The heart of the Zhongchang servant can show the sun and the moon, but your majesty's temper is not a habit developed in a year or two, but the result of years of accumulation. It is impossible for the Zhongchang servant to change your majesty overnight. of,"

"You whisper things in His Majesty's ears every day that he doesn't want to hear. Naturally, His Majesty is not satisfied with you. For the present plan, only loyal ministers like you and me will cooperate secretly and praise each other. When we all stand Only when you are in a certain position can you persuade His Majesty to be kind and clean, and serve the country and the people!"

Lu Qiang looked at him suspiciously: "Praise each other...?"

"Yes, praise each other, you and I are an eunuch, a scholar, one inside and one outside, we can't go to His Majesty to advertise ourselves as loyal ministers, right? Only after I help you gain His Majesty's trust, and you help me in front of His Majesty State my benefits, make peace with the inside and outside, after a long time, His Majesty has trusted you and me, so we can persuade His Majesty, understand?"
