I will be the master of Xuande

Chapter 73
Liu Jian was recognized as a royal relative by Liu Hong, which meant a lot to him.

The CV was directly called up by the Zongzheng Administration, and the seniority was checked and verified. From now on, not only Liu Jian alone, but also the clan members of the Liu family in Zhuojun County behind him will also increase.

Of course, all this cannot be for nothing.

Liu Hong is not a good person, and he would not do such a thing at will just because he likes Liu Jian. There is no doubt that this is a deal between the emperor and the filial and honest heroes.

In exchange for Liu Jian's loyalty, he exchanged his recognized clan status for his saddle and horse.

Liu Jian knew this very well, so from today onwards, he would ponder each other with Liu Hong from time to time.

Not only let Liu Hong use him, but at the same time, he must ensure that he will not be ruined by the emperor's excessive use.

Yang ball is a lesson from others.

Right now, since Liu Hong has opened up the situation through the Zongzheng Office, Liu Jian will naturally give him a peach and repay him with a favor.

"Your Majesty, I have something very private, and I dare not hide it from Your Majesty."

Liu Hong said with a smile on his face: "What's the matter with Aiqing, even though it is stated clearly, there is no need to be too polite in private between the same clan."

At this time, Liu Yan suddenly heard: "Your Majesty, since Deran has something important to report to His Majesty, then I have the right to retire."

"No need, Zongzheng is someone I rely on, you and my uncle and nephew don't need it, just stay and listen."

After finishing speaking, Liu Honghuan first looked around at other people, including Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and others.

"You wait for the right and step down."

"Here!"

All the servants and Cai Nu retreated according to Liu Hong's order, but Zhang Rang seemed quite unwilling. Before he left, he looked back and forth between Liu Jian and Liu Yan, and there seemed to be a little jealousy in his eyes .

Seeing this situation, Liu Jian had a rough idea.

It seems that for Liu Hong, the degree of trustworthiness of clan relatives is not lower than that of eunuchs, and in some specific cases, even higher than that of eunuchs.

From this point of view, Liu Yan's status in Liu Hong's heart is really not low.

But it is no wonder that the policy of abolishing history and establishing animal husbandry was proposed by Liu Yan to Liu Hong. If there is no deep trust as a foundation, how would ordinary people dare to raise this matter in front of Liu Hong?
When I was young, after the eunuchs and the beauties had all withdrawn, Liu Jianfang advised Liu Hong, "Your Majesty, when Chen Qianfan left the West Garden, within a few days someone from the Yuan family came to look for me."

"A member of the Yuan family?" Hearing this, Liu Hong instantly showed an unhappy expression on his face.

Liu Yan looked at Liu Jian in surprise.

But this astonishment was only for a moment, and then Liu Yan regained his calm expression.

But Liu Hong seemed a little displeased. The Yuan family sent someone to pick peaches so soon, who he had just promoted from the clan.

"Why did the Yuan family look for you?"

"He didn't express his attitude yet, but just gave some gifts, all of which are common utensils for the minister to use in Luoyang City."

"Oh? Hehe, the Yuan family takes good care of you."

Liu Hong's words were inwardly and outwardly, and there was a hint of jealousy.

"The Yuan family does have this intention, and the minister will accept all the gifts as ordered, and I will go to Yuan's house to pay a visit the next day."

"you……"

Liu Hong's expression was a little annoyed: "You are trying to please both sides, and you won't let anyone down?"

The emperor was angry, but Liu Jian was not afraid. At this moment, this fact must be clearly explained to Liu Hong, otherwise there will be many things in the future that will be very difficult to handle, and even a single step will be difficult.

"Your Majesty!" Liu Yan who was on the side suddenly said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, De Ran has made great contributions, and is also a member of Zheng Xue, and the limelight is in Luoyang. I have always been willing to recruit old officials, but it would be weird if they didn't look for Deran at this time."

Liu Hong glanced at Liu Yan, but saw Liu Yan cast a glance at Liu Hong.

In an instant, Liu Hong understood...know yourself and know your enemy!
It's always good to have a shadow of mine by the Yuan family's side.

At this time, Liu Jian said: "If Your Majesty is dissatisfied, and I am willing to go back today, I will return all the gifts to the Yuan family!"

After hearing this, Liu Hong was taken aback for a moment.

Immediately, Fang Ting heard him laughing happily: "Why does Aiqing need to do this? There is no need! The Yuan family in Runan is well-known, with students and old officials all over the world, why would you want to offend them? Since they have good intentions, you accept it." Yes, besides, aren't the members of Yuan's family also my subjects?"

When Liu Jian heard this, he just let go of his hanging heart.

If Liu Hong really refused to allow him to communicate with the Yuan family, then he would really have to cut off the Yuan family's way in the future.

There is no doubt that the Yuan family and the Hongnong Yang family who are the leaders of the modern literature department are giants no matter in this relatively stable season or in the chaotic separatist regime in the future, huge enough to be defeated by any force. Treat it as a thorn in the flesh.

The same is true for Liu Jian.

But in the end, confronting the Yuan family head-on now is really the next strategy, not only for himself, but also for Liu Hong.

Bing Fa Yun: Going up to fight against soldiers is nothing more than the case.

Liu Hong, who has a deep understanding of the way of conspiracy, seems to have figured it out after all.

"I am a subject of Your Majesty, and I will never do what Your Majesty does not allow me to do!"

For a person like Liu Hong, it is meaningless to show too much ability and insight. For an emperor, you just need to let him feel that you take him as the most important thing and that you are in his hands It is enough for him to kill people at the same time.

Frankly telling Liu Hong that he was invited by the Yuan family, although it made him feel angry for a while, it also brought him closer to the emperor invisibly.

Moreover, there is a wily Liu Yan next to him. He can see things that Liu Hong couldn't see clearly for a while.

"Aiqing is loyal, I know it very well, don't worry, I am not testing you, I am a man with a broad mind and a ruthless mind, I don't doubt anyone, I don't doubt anyone I employ."

After hearing this, Liu Jian replied with only one word in his heart: Bah!
Afterwards, Liu Hong looked at Liu Yan again, and said, "Aiqing, what's the current situation in Yuan's clan?"

Liu Yan turned his head to look at Liu Jian, and then replied: "The old brother will end up with his younger brother, and he respects himself by supporting the old officials. The young one has not yet seen what kind of climate it is."

Liu Hong looked at Liu Jian with a smile: "Do you understand?"

"The minister understands."

Just now, Liu Yan reminded Liu Jian of the sentence "Brothers end up with younger brothers" in Liu Yan's words.

It is true that although Yuan Kai is the descendant of the Yuan family, he is not the longest. Because both his elder brothers passed away, he inherited all the resources of the Yuan family in Runan smoothly.

Just as Sun Quan inherited Sun Ce's foundation, Zhao Guangyi inherited Zhao Kuangyin's foundation.

Based on Liu Jian's understanding of the Yuan family, the next suzerain of the Yuan family, if nothing else, must be Yuan Ji, the eldest son of Yuan Feng's lineage.

If this matter is a certainty, then from Yuan Kai's current point of view, what should he do to make his house still have some say after Yuan Ji becomes a partial branch?

Perhaps taking advantage of the situation that he is still the head of the family, changing the distribution of power so that the power in the clan is not completely concentrated in the hands of the patriarch, may leave more room for the future of his family.

When the father dies, the son replaces the son, and the brother ends up with the younger brother. This has been the case since ancient times.
