I will be the master of Xuande

Chapter 70 The Gift Giver
Liu Jian's words made Lu Qiang quite excited.

As Lu Zhi's disciple and Zheng Xuan's son-in-law, cooperating with Lu Qiang is indeed a great honor. Of course Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong would not think so, but Lu Qiang thinks so.

In Lu Qiang's eyes, Liu Jian is not an ordinary scholar student. He has made great achievements in killing Xianbei, has done the singing of common people in cold regions, and beat Cao Poshi who wanted to trouble him. Enron retreated from the battle.

Moreover, everything that Liu Jian did seemed to Lu Qiang to be selfless, and it was all for the country and for the sake of the Han Dynasty.

If he is a person like Yuan Kai who keeps secrets in his heart, Lu Qiang will definitely not cooperate with him, and if he is just an ordinary scholar with a passion but no extraordinary identity and ability, Lu Qiang will not cooperate with him either. He cooperates.

He seems to be a tailor-made partner for Lu Qiang, who is suitable for all aspects of size, fat and thin.

"Deran is willing to cooperate with the old man to persuade His Majesty together?"

Liu Jian didn't know how much Lu Qiang's words were true, but he didn't really intend to persuade Liu Hong.

Liu Hong is basically doomed. He doesn't have the ability to govern the country, but he is full of intrigues and self-righteous cleverness.

But when it comes to conspiracy, he is not as good as the nobles of the aristocratic family, and if something goes wrong with him, he is willing to let it go.

For such an emperor, even if Xiao He, Zhuge Liang, Fang Xuanling, and Di Renjie were bundled and mailed to him, it would be basically useless.

Now Liu Jian can only get what he wants from the emperor under the guise of "persuading the emperor".

Therefore, Liu Jian is deceiving Lu Qiang at this moment.

"That's right, let's persuade His Majesty together to manage the ancestral foundation well and make the Han nation prosperous!"

What I said was against my will, but I couldn't help but say it.

"Alright, Your Majesty is really lucky to have a courtier like you."

Liu Jian looked around, and once again made sure that there was no one else in the hall, Fang said: "Master Zhongchang, there is a taboo sentence, I have to tell you, in the eyes of His Majesty, you are not favored, and I am not respected, so I will give you a lot of attention." With our current social status, the more we talk, the more mistakes we make, the most urgent task is not to persuade His Majesty, but to make His Majesty trust me and favor you."

"Only if Your Majesty believes that I am a sharp knife in your hand and favors you as a valet, can you and I have the capital to persuade Your Majesty, otherwise, the more you persuade, the worse it will be, and the more you persuade, the more alienated you will be."

Lu Qiang sighed softly, Liu Jian is young but has extraordinary knowledge, what he said hit the point.

Compared to Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and others, Lu Qiang was really annoying to Liu Hong.

"Deran, tell me, what should I do to win His Majesty's favor?"

Liu Jian said earnestly: "The affairs in the court are very annoying to your majesty. From now on, you don't want to talk to your majesty about the affairs of the court. The more you remonstrate, the more disgusted your majesty will be, and Zhang Rang, etc. The more people hate you, of course, if Zhong Chang Shi really has something urgent to advise, we can discuss it in advance."

"Okay, I understand, but I don't want to advise the court, just to let His Majesty stop bothering me, I'm afraid it may not please His Majesty, right?"

"The regular attendant will advise on some things that His Majesty likes." Liu Jian was persuasive and persuasive.

"Hey, His Majesty likes beautiful women, so he invites beautiful girls. Zhang Rang and others invite colorful girls into the palace, but this is a way of wasting people and money, and I swear not to do it."

Liu Jian smiled when he heard the words: "Letting Your Majesty recruit more beautiful girls, mobilize teachers and mobilize people, and waste people and money is just the lowest level of means to please His Majesty. I accompanied Your Majesty to visit the West Garden, and heard that the Naluo Swimming Pool and Liuxiang Canal were all made by Your Majesty himself." idea,"

"This shows that Zhang Rang and the others can only find beauties for His Majesty, and find treasures, but they don't know how to use beauties and games to please His Majesty. You have to find a way by yourself. This is really inferior. I need to help His Majesty share his worries, and I want to teach His Majesty how to play the game. Once or twice, your position in His Majesty's heart will be completely different. Moreover, such a waste of money is almost negligible compared to building a garden. .”

"Play?" Lu Qiang was a little confused: "How to play?"

Liu Jian smiled when he saw this.

You eunuchs are good at flattering you eunuchs, but when it comes to how to play, how novel and exciting it is, even if all the eunuchs in the Northern Palace are tied together, they are not as thorough as he, a latecomer.

Especially for a country ruffian like Liu Hong, there are plenty of ways to treat him.

"I'll teach you a few methods, and you can go to His Majesty and try them later."

Later, Liu Jian began to teach Lu Qiang how to please Liu Hong and how to find exciting games for Liu Hong.

After listening to Liu Jian's professor, Lu Qiang nodded half understanding.

He had some doubts in his heart, but after all he felt that he had to go back and try.

Before leaving, Lu Qiang told Liu Jian: "Your Majesty has recently asked Zongzheng Liu Junlang to check your resume at Zongzheng's mansion. You need to keep this in mind."

After listening to Lu Qiang's words, Liu Jian smiled slightly and understood.

"Thank you Zhongchang Attendant for telling me about this matter, I hope you can give me more advice in the future when there is something going on in the palace."

"Easy to say, easy to say."

"In addition, I can't get in the way with Dazong. If there is something about me, please ask Zhongchangshi to help secretly."

Lu Qiang smiled faintly, he was also an old eunuch, so he naturally understood what Liu Jian meant.

"Don't worry, Deran, I'll just keep an eye on this matter for you."

After Lu Qiang left, Liu Jian began to think secretly in his heart.

Since the emperor was looking for Zongzheng to check his family's background, it means that Liu Hong is still more interested in himself as a Han family clan.

But it's no wonder that apart from the eunuchs, from Liu Hong's point of view, the only people who can really make him feel trustworthy are members of the clan with the surname Liu.

The position of people like Liu Yan and Liu Yu in the heart of the emperor is extremely important.

If someone else dared to advise Liu Hong to abolish Shi Limu, and even recommended himself, the legs would be directly discounted.

I should still be in the assessment period.

……

After one night, other Lang officials took over, and Liu Jian went home.

After a long night, he was really sleepy.

When he returned to his home in the southern suburbs, he saw an ox cart parked outside his house.

There are some well-packed wooden boxes on the car. Although you can't see what's inside, you can probably guess it if you think about it - it must be a gift.

It's just good, why did someone prepare a carload of gifts and come to their door?
Liu Jian walked to the door of his house suspiciously, and saw some people negotiating with Zheng Ci in front of the door, presumably they were gift givers.

Seeing Liu Jian's return, Zheng Ci seemed relieved.

She hurried forward to greet Liu Jian.

"Sister, who are these?"

Zheng Ci said in a low voice: "Lang Jun, thanks to you for coming back, these people call themselves the Yuan family, and they brought some small gifts to greet Lang Jun under the order of the patriarch. They just put down the gift and were about to leave. , Whatever you say, you have to wait for the Lord to come back and deal with it."

It is true that not everyone can accept gifts in the capital, you must know that there is no such thing as a free lunch in this world.

Zheng Ci guarded the bottom line for Liu Jian in his gate house, which made Liu Jian very relieved.

"It's time, Sister Lao."

Liu Jian nodded at her, and then went to meet those who came to give gifts.

"May I ask who you are, why did you come to Liu's house with courtesy?"

Although the leader was dressed as a servant, he spoke and acted very politely, and he looked like he came from a high-ranking family.

"Returning to the servant, the villain is a member of Yuan's mansion. According to the order of the master, I prepared some household items and sent them to the servant. There are no valuables, but they are all ordinary things. When the servant first arrived in the capital, he rented a house. , it must not be more comfortable than living at home, my master ordered me to prepare some common things for the servant to live in Luoyang."

"Yuan Mansion?"

Liu Jian frowned. If you talk about the surname Yuan, in the entire Luoyang City, Yuan Kui is undoubtedly the number one.

But Yuan Kui, as the suzerain of the Yuan family and the Sangong, would personally order someone to give something to a small official like him?
It must not be him.

In this way, only the second generation members of the Yuan family were left.

Anyway, now that I have some fame and status, it is reasonable for the second generation of the Yuan family to want to recruit me.

In Liu Jian's mind at this moment, a name first popped up——Yuan Shao!
The world's model Yuan Benchu, with his character and ability, is the most likely to be the first to want to recruit himself.

Liu Jian basically believed that the other party was Yuan Shao's person.

But he still clasped his hands and asked, "Since you claim to be a member of the Yuan family, I don't know which upper official of the Yuan family you are talking about as the head of the family?"

The man said with a smile: "I have a famous assassin of the head of the family here, and I invite the servant to come to the mansion for a gathering."

After finishing speaking, he handed over the famous assassin and Liu Jian.

Liu Jian opened it and was shocked.

Among the second generation surnamed Yuan, logically this person should be the last to talk to me.

He is the elder brother of Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, and also the direct son of Yuan Feng's lineage, the next head of the family recognized by everyone, Yuan Ji.

Liu Jian thought for a while, and finally said:
"Leave the things, convey my thanks to Junhou on my behalf, and visit the mansion in person the next day."
