I will be the master of Xuande

Chapter 96 Who Is The Real Threat?

In the end, Liu Jian selected four people: Huang Zhong from Nanyang, Cheng Pu from Youbeiping Tuyin, Xu Rong from Xuantu County in Liaodong, and Gao Shun from Wuyuan County.

As for the county magistrate Sun Jian, because he is an official appointed by the central government, he cannot be recruited when there is no war.

He had met Lu Bu before, and he belonged to the kind of person with certain flaws in thinking and behavior, so he couldn't use it.

Zhang Liao, Xu Huang, and Yu Jin were not found due to issues such as age or when he entered the officialdom.

These people were selected by Liu Jian based on his memory of historical figures, but what he wanted to replace this time included a Sima and more than [-] officials, so these four people were obviously not enough.

For the rest, Liu Jian didn't want to continue to choose by himself. He hoped that Lu Zhi could help him select some reliable local military officials, and at the same time, they still met the requirements of Shangshutai.

As for the selection of candidates, Lu Zhi's position as Minister naturally understands much more than Liu Jian.

At the beginning, Lu Zhi didn't understand Liu Jian's attitude in choosing assistant officials, so he didn't dare to give him any random ideas, but after Liu Jian identified a few people, he asked Lu Zhi to help screen them. According to Lu Zhi's screening criteria, this person Naturally, the screening is very fast.

It's just that Lu Zhi felt a little panicked.

After going to the selection department to stay for a whole day, he selected these four out of nowhere!

He has to help him figure out the rest, what kind of thing is this?

Isn't this the idle apprentice, the exhausted master?
Afterwards, the matter of replacing the subordinate officials of the Yueqi Battalion began to officially enter the process.

……

……

A few days later, Liu Jian's memorial was presented to Liu Hong through Shangshutai. Among the memorials was the impeachment of Sima of the Yueqi Camp and 37 officials who embezzled military rations and concealed military salaries.

When Liu Hong saw the memorial, without further ado, he directly said four words to Shangshu Pushe:
"Slow investigation, liquidation."

The reason for the slow investigation is because of the corruption of ink. As long as the amount is not too huge, it is not appropriate to pursue it too much during Liu Hong's administration.

After all, the emperor of the current dynasty also had a style of "looking at money and looking at big things". If only the emperor was allowed to collect money and officials were not allowed to be greedy for money, it would definitely be harmful to the current official system of the Han Dynasty established by Liu Hong. of.

This will have a great impact on Liu Hong's current policy of selling officials and nobles.

With the policy of selling officials and nobles as a premise, the administration of officials must not be too clear. This is a complementary thing.

But this reason cannot be put on the table. Since Liu Jian has presented evidence, this matter cannot be ignored. Therefore, it is said that these subordinate officials should or should be removed, but the reason for the removal needs to be a little more obscure.

If this matter can be resolved through conversation, it would be best to let these people go out by themselves.

The eunuch is the one who can know Liu Hong's will at the first time.

After Zhang Rang heard the news that Liu Hong wanted to investigate the Yue riding camp, he ran to see Liu Hong in mourning.

"Your Majesty, Liu Deran has no good intentions. It is clear that he wants to eliminate the dissident forces in the Yueqi camp. Your Majesty must not encourage them! The Sima Chengfu in the camp has been working diligently for the public for three years, and now it is only because of Liu Deran. The Shangzuo will replace him, so I am afraid of hurting the hearts of the heroes, and the hearts of the people are not attached, Your Majesty! Please also pay attention to this matter!"

"OK OK!"

Liu Hong waved his hand impatiently: "What meritorious person? It's not that he was greedy for food and fodder in the camp. The evidence that Deran gave is not a false report. There are every piece of evidence that can be checked. Let's talk about what merits a Sima Neng has done for a big man ? What kind of hero is he?"

Zhang Rang said anxiously: "It's just that Liu Deran, who has only been a captain of Yueqi for a few days, actually wants to eliminate dissidents. This trend cannot last..."

"What excludes dissidents? Deran has discussed this matter with me, and it is my favor! Father, I have made up my mind, so don't interfere too much!"

"But Your Majesty..."

"Father turned around and talked to that Cheng Fu, and asked him to be more sensible, and go to select a department and report on his work, so as to free up the space."

Zhang Rang was shocked when he heard this.

"But Liu Deran..."

"What Liu Deran is called Liu Yueqi!"

Seeing Liu Hong's angry face, Zhang Rang wept and said, "Your Majesty only believes in Liu Yueqi, not the old slave?"

Seeing Zhang Rang crying, Liu Hong couldn't bear it.

He sighed and said: "Father, it's not that I'm talking about you. In terms of heart, you are indeed a little bit worse than the emperor's younger brother. Do you know, Father, who was the one who first remonstrated with me and gave you the title of Marquis? "

"This... this old slave doesn't know."

"It's the emperor's younger brother. He acted as a guarantor for Qing and others in front of me, but my father insisted on saying that he was presumptuous in front of me. Father, if you are like me, what should you think in your heart, and how should you treat this matter?" ?”

Zhang Rang felt ashamed immediately after hearing this.

But at the same time, he felt even more resentful towards Liu Jian.

How could a scorpion plot against me to such an extent?Can you take the lead in everything?

Also recommend me to His Majesty?
Could there be any good intentions?It's flattery at all.

"Your Majesty, the old slave was wrong. The old slave was narrow-minded and misunderstood Liu Yueqi."

"Hey, Father, it's good that you know, I have already made a decision on some things, so I will definitely not change it, Father, don't interfere too much, go back and talk to that Cheng Fu, and let him take it easy on himself. Go to Sima's position, so that everyone will look better, don't make it difficult for me."

"The old slave leads the order."

"Father, you need to know that Liu Deran is my loyal and admonishing minister just like my father. My father is like my own father, and Deran is my brother. I hope that you two will not fight each other. It is unanimous to the outside world.”

"promise."

"Okay, let's go, I'm tired."

Zhang Rang looked up at Liu Hong, feeling a little sad in his heart.

For the first time in his life, he felt so frustrated in front of the emperor.

A mere Liu Jian has only been in Beijing for a long time, and in His Majesty's heart, he has already far surpassed himself.

Zhang Rang couldn't accept this fact in his heart.

……

After leaving the West Garden, Zhang Rang and Lu Qiang happened to cross each other face to face.

The two nodded to each other as a greeting.

Zhang Rang looked sideways at Lu Qiang walking past, and thought to himself: Not only Liu Jian, but also this Lu Qiang.

Why can anyone be favored by His Majesty for more than a year?

Originally, Zhang Rang was quite jealous of Lu Qiang in his heart before, but after this incident, Liu Jian was far more dangerous in his heart than Lu Qiang.

Because one thing Lu Qiang did recently was his own death.

I heard that he actually went to visit the queen recently?

Hehe, the emperor now deeply hates Empress He, Lu Qiang's move is tantamount to cutting off his own future.

Stupid!

Liu Jian is still more threatening.

……

When he was young, Lu Qiang came to Liu Hong's side.

"Old servant sees His Majesty!"

When Liu Hong saw Lu Qiang, the gloomy expression on his face disappeared, revealing a look of joy.

In the heart of the emperor, Lu Qiang has become more and more important.

Liu Hong even felt that he couldn't do without Lu Qiang.

It doesn't matter if he can't see Zhang Rang now, but he can't see Lu Qiang.

"Lu Qing, are you on duty today?"

"Return to Your Majesty, the old slave is on duty today."

"Did Lu Qing prepare something new for me recently?"

"That's natural. The old slave has prepared a few ideas for His Majesty to relieve boredom in his free time, and keep them to make His Majesty happy."

"Hahaha! Good, very good!"

Liu Hong nodded with satisfaction: "Lu Qing is really a loyal minister. To be honest, Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong have really disappointed me recently. Only Lu Qing is my caring person... Sometimes I taste it carefully and feel that Luo There are 10 people in Yang, and no one is more loyal than Lu Qing."

When Lu Qiang heard this, he couldn't help being startled, and he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty's words really shame this old slave, and this old slave dare not accept His Majesty's great praise."

Liu Hong waved his hand casually, motioning for Lu Qiang to stand up: "Lu Qing, I heard that you went to see the queen recently?"

When Lu Qiang heard Liu Hong asking him about this, he felt a little nervous.

He whispered: "The old slave has indeed been to the empress, but the old slave did not go to visit the empress, but to see His Majesty's prince... Your Majesty, the prince is His Majesty's close relative, the blood of the Tian family, regardless of everything in the harem." In the end, it has nothing to do with the prince."

When Liu Hong heard this, he didn't speak for a long time.

After a long while, I heard Liu Hong say something: "Okay!"

Although there was only one short word, Lu Qiang's heart still fell.

Liu Jian is really accurate in seeing things, and he is an extraordinary person.

"Lu Qing, I have something to ask you."

"I don't know what His Majesty asked?"

"Lv Qing thinks, what about Captain Yueqi?"
