In the end, Liu Jian selected four people: Huang Zhong from Nanyang, Cheng Pu from Tuyin in Youbeiping, 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 was the kind of person who had certain flaws in his thoughts and actions, so he couldn't be used.
Zhang Liao, Xu Huang, and Yu Jin could not be found due to reasons such as age or the time they entered the officialdom.
These people were selected by Liu Jian based on his memory of historical figures, but the one he wanted to replace this time included a Sima and more than thirty assistant officials, so just these four people were obviously not enough.
Liu Jian did not want to continue selecting the remaining people by himself. He hoped that Lu Zhi could help him select some reliable local military officials who would also meet the requirements of the Shangshutai.
Regarding the selection of people, Lu Zhi, as the minister, naturally knew more than Liu Jian.
At first, Lu Zhi didn't understand Liu Jian's attitude towards choosing assistants, so he didn't dare to give him any random ideas. However, after Liu Jian identified a few people, he asked Lu Zhi to help select them. According to Lu Zhi's selection criteria, this person
Naturally, the screening is very fast.
It's just that Lu Zhi was a little worried.
But at the same time, he was even more resentful of Liu Jian.
For the first time in his life, he felt so defeated in front of the emperor.
After leaving the West Garden, Zhang Rang and Lu Qiang happened to pass each other face to face.
Liu Hong didn't speak for a long time after hearing this.
Originally, Zhang Rang was quite jealous of Lu Qiang before, but after what happened, Liu Jian's level of danger in his heart was far greater than that of Lu Qiang.
When Liu Hong saw Lu Qiang, the gloomy expression on his face disappeared, revealing a cheerful look.
Zhang Rang said anxiously: "Liu Deran, who has only been a Yueqi captain for a few days, actually wants to eliminate dissidents. This trend cannot last long..."
Because something Lu Qiang did recently was a suicide attempt.
He whispered: "I did go to the queen, but I didn't go to visit the queen, but to see your majesty's prince... Your majesty, the prince is your majesty's closest relative, the blood of the Tian family, no matter what happens in the harem
No matter what, it has nothing to do with the prince after all."
After spending a whole day in the selection department, he inexplicably chose these four!
"Your Majesty, Liu Deran has no good intentions. He clearly wants to eliminate the dissident forces in the Yueqi camp. Your Majesty must not encourage him! Sima Chengfu in the camp has worked diligently and devotedly to the public good for the past three years. Now it is just because of Liu Deran's share.
I have to replace him at the beginning. This may hurt the hearts of the heroes and make people unhappy, Your Majesty! Your Majesty, please look into this matter!"
Although there was only one short word, Lu Qiang's heart still dropped.
"Old slave, see your Majesty!"
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 Qing is a loyal minister."
There are hundreds of thousands of people in Yang, but no one is more loyal than Lu Qing."
If this matter can be solved through conversation and these people can get out of their own way, it would be the best.
After Zhang Rang heard this, he immediately felt ashamed and helpless.
"But Liu Deran..."
There are still a lot of things left that I have to help him figure out. What is this?
Liu Jian, a mere Liu Jian, has only been in Beijing for a short time, but in His Majesty's heart, he has already far surpassed himself.
After Zhang Rang heard the news that Liu Hong was going to inspect the Yueqi camp, he ran to see Liu Hong in mourning.
"Has Lu Qing prepared something new for me recently?"
"Oh, Father, it's good that you know that there are some things that I have already made a decision on, and I will definitely not change them. Father, please don't interfere too much. Go back and talk to that Cheng Fu and let him unburden himself.
If I go to the post of Sima, everyone will look better, so don't make it difficult for me."
Isn't it true that the apprentice dies in idleness and the master dies in exhaustion?
Afterwards, the formal process of replacing the subordinate officials of the Yueqi Camp began.
Are you still recommending me to your majesty?
Do you have any good intentions? It's just flattery.
Why has it been that for more than a year, anyone can be favored by His Majesty?
Haha, the emperor now deeply hates Queen He, and Lu Qiang's move is tantamount to destroying his future.
When he was young, Lu Qiang came to Liu Hong's side.
In the emperor's heart, Lu Qiang has become an increasingly important person.
Liu Hong even felt that he could no longer live without Lu Qiang.
"What about excluding dissenters? Deran has discussed this with me before, and it was my favor! Father, I have made up my mind, so please don't interfere too much!"
Liu Hong waved his hand casually, signaling Lu Qiang to stand up: "Lu Qing, I heard that you went to see the queen recently?"
Zhang Rang saw that Liu Hong's face was angry, so he cried and said: "Your Majesty only believes in Liu Yueqi, but not in this old slave?"
"What Liu Deran, his name is Liu Yueqi!"
…
"Hahaha! Good, very good!"
Liu Hong waved his hand impatiently: "What kind of hero? It's not like he corrupted the camp's grain. The evidence Deran cited is not a false report. Every piece of it is well-documented. Let's talk about what contributions a Sima has done for the Han Dynasty.
?What kind of hero do you think you are?"
Zhang Rang raised his head and looked at Liu Hong, feeling quite sad in his heart.
"That's natural. I have prepared a few more ideas for Your Majesty to relieve his boredom in his spare time and keep them to make Your Majesty happy."
The reason for the slow investigation is because of corruption. As long as the amount is not too huge, it should not be pursued too much during Liu Hong's administration.
"Okay, let's go down, I'm tired."
"promise."
This will have a great impact on Liu Hong's current policy of selling his official position.
Zhang Rang couldn't accept this fact in his heart.
When Liu Hong saw Zhang Rang crying, he couldn't bear it.
The two nodded to each other as a greeting.
"Your Majesty, I was wrong. I was narrow-minded and misunderstood Liu Yueqi."
Zhang Rang looked askance at Lu Qiang walking over and thought to himself: Not only Liu Jian, but also this Lu Qiang.
With the policy of selling officials and conferring titles as a premise, the administration of officials must not be too clear. This is a mutually reinforcing matter.
"Father, you need to know that Liu Deran, like my father, is my loyal and admonishing minister. My father is like my biological father, and Deran is my clan brother. I hope that you two will not fight each other, and you must
It’s about being consistent with the outside world.”
A few days later, a memorial from Liu Jian was presented to Liu Hong through the Chancellor's Desk. The memorial impeached Sima and thirty-seven of his Yueqi camp officials for misappropriating military rations and hiding military pay.
How could such a stupid person plot against me to such an extent? He could take advantage of everything?
"But Your Majesty..."
"Okay, okay!"
It doesn't matter if he can't see Zhang Rang now, but he can't miss Lu Qiang.
"Your Majesty, this old slave is on duty today."
Zhang Rang was shocked when he heard this.
"It is the emperor's younger brother. He acted as bailiff for you in front of me, but my father insisted on saying that he was transgressing in front of me. Father, what should I think in my heart and how should I treat this matter?
?”
When Liu Hong saw the memorial, without saying a word, he directly said four words to Shangshu Pushe:
"Slowly check and liquidate."
…
After all, the emperor of the current dynasty also had a style of "looking at money and looking at favors". If the emperor was only allowed to collect money and officials were not allowed to be corrupt, it would definitely be harmful to the current official system of the Han Dynasty established by Liu Hong.
of.
He sighed deeply and said: "Father, I am not telling you that when it comes to your ambition, you are still a little behind compared to the emperor's younger brother. Do you know who the person who first advised me to grant you the title of marquis is?
"
"The old slave accepts the order."
When Lu Qiang heard Liu Hong ask him about this, he couldn't help feeling a little nervous.
…
"This... I don't know this."
How stupid!
"Lu Qing, are you on duty today?"
But this reason cannot be put on the table. Since Liu Jian has provided evidence, this matter cannot be ignored. Therefore, these subordinate officials should still be dismissed, but the reason for the dismissal needs to be a little more obscure.
"My father went back to talk to that Cheng Fu and asked him to be wiser and go to the selected department to report on his duties and free up the place."
…
Or is Liu Jian the greater threat?
The people who could know Liu Hong's will at the first time were the eunuchs.
When Lu Qiang heard this, he couldn't help being startled. He hurriedly bowed: "Your Majesty's words really make me ashamed. I dare not accept your majesty's praise."
After a long while, Liu Hong finally heard Liu Hong say: "Okay!"
I heard that he actually visited the Queen recently?
Liu Jian's vision of things is indeed accurate and he is an extraordinary person.
