Chapter 55 Liu Jian, will he become a role model for scholars?
Lu Qian personally went to the Liu family to send gifts and congratulate him. Within two days, Gongsun Zan also came. He brought more gifts than the last time he went to apologize. He shouted at the top of his lungs as soon as he got off the car, for fear that Liu She's neighbors would not know.
It's like he, the county magistrate, has arrived.
"Dear brother, I'm here to say hello to you!"
The voice was so high that it almost shook the birds off the tree.
His carriage was already eye-catching, and now it was so high-profile that it naturally attracted people around him to come and watch.
Liu Jian, Liu Zhou and others quickly came out of the inner room to greet them.
After seeing the ceremony, Liu Jian stepped forward and grabbed Gongsun Zan's hand, laughing loudly and saying: "Brother Bogui is here to congratulate me, and the plum blossoms will shine! Brother, please come in!"
The two of them entered the house hand in hand. As Gongsun Zan followed Liu Jian, he said with a smile: "Brother, you just yelled outside the house and attracted the attention of everyone around you. Within half a day, the county king personally came to your house to congratulate you."
If this happens, it will be spread throughout Zhuoxian County! Dear brother, will this make you proud?"
Liu Jian secretly laughed in his heart, never expecting that Gongsun Zan had such an idea.
In fact, there is no need for Gongsun Zan to help him earn money like this. With his current power in Zhuoxian County, as soon as Gongsun Zan steps out of this gate, the news of his visit to his house will spread throughout Zhuoxian County.
It should be noted that, let alone the county magistrate, even if the county governor came in person yesterday, wouldn't he be able to inform the entire Zhuoxian County overnight?
The Liu Jian of today is not the Liu Jian of the past.
However, although Gongsun Zan's move was just superfluous, it was still out of good intentions. Even if this sentiment was useless, Liu Jian still needed to accept it.
"Thanks to my brother for thinking of me, Jian would like to thank you!"
Gongsun Zan laughed loudly and said: "We will be prosperous tomorrow, so don't forget each other!"
"Brother, what are you talking about? I will still count on my brother from now on."
Gongsun Ze sighed deeply, waved his hands and said: "Actually, before coming to Zhuoxian County, I thought that I was a heroic figure. In this officialdom, I would achieve great success sooner or later. But after meeting my virtuous brother in Zhuoxian County, I saw that
In less than two years, you have not only achieved great success, but you have also been chosen by Uncle Zheng to recruit your son-in-law..."
"Hey! It's absolutely impossible to say that I'm not jealous of my brother at all!"
"But Brother Wei also knows that there is indeed a gap between Brother Wei and you. My Gongsun family now monopolizes Hebei Ma City with your brother Su Shuang. I think Su Shuang should also be yours, right? Before you take action, he
He is nothing more than a street charlatan."
Liu Jian looked at Gongsun Zan seriously and began to make plans in his mind.
Since Gongsun Zan has spoken to this extent, if I don't respond again, wouldn't I be wasting my friendship with my fellow disciples?
Perhaps, this senior brother can also be a good general for me in the future.
Thinking of this, Liu Jian stretched out his hand, patted Gongsun Zan's hand and said, "If Senior Brother Meng doesn't give up, how about we advance and retreat together from now on?"
Gongsun Zan came here today just to hear what Liu Jian said.
Although he has a somewhat intolerant personality, he is not a person without vision. After Liu Jian becomes Zheng Xuan's son-in-law, what position will he have in the scholarly community in the future? Gongsun Zan naturally has a clear family in his heart!
But what Liu Jian has now happens to be beyond the reach of Gongsun Zan.
At that moment, I saw Gongsun Zan handing over to Liu Jian: "With these words from my wise brother, I feel relieved. I know that I am brave enough, but not wise enough. I will ask my wise brother for advice on my future official career."
"It's easy to say, brother and I, why should we be polite? What my brother said just now is absolutely true. My brother has a straightforward personality. He has inherited the style of a heroic hero from the border counties. He is both brave and brave. He doesn't like tactics. If you hang around in the officialdom, it will be far less effective than earning military honors. It's just that
During the battle, my brother also participated in meritorious service, so why has he not been promoted yet?"
Gongsun Zan sighed: "Hey! You still have to wait until this term is over, right? After all, I have not yet completed three years as the magistrate of Zhuo County."
"By the way, dear brother, what do you think of our newly appointed Fang Bo in Youzhou, Liu Yu and Liu Bo'an?"
"I don't know him, and I don't know anything about his life. What do you think, brother?"
Gongsun Zan shook his head: "I don't think this person is good! He is gentle in his work and treats foreigners with great kindness. If such a person were in the Central Plains states, he could barely be called a person, but here... hum!"
Liu Jian touched his sleeves calmly and did not make any further comments.
In history, Liu Yu eventually died at the hands of Gongsun Zan, but this incident indeed caused a devastating blow to Gongsun Zan.
Since Gongsun Zan is already a member of his camp, there are some situations that he cannot ignore after all.
"Brother Gongsun."
"Um?"
"Liu Bo'an is a famous figure in the world, a descendant of Guangwu, and he is the fierce general who inspired you to clear out the Hulu from the frontier. It is normal that some things cannot be dealt with together, but you should not be extreme in your dealings."
"Ahaha, I'm just saying casually, why do you think so much? I just don't like him, can I still kill him?"
"Just a reminder. If you don't kill him now, who knows if you will do something stupid when you get rich."
Gongsun Zan was shocked when he heard this: "Xian brother, you can't make this joke!"
"Hahaha, Brother Gongsun is also scared sometimes."
Seeing Liu Jian laughing, Gongsun Zan felt a little relieved. It seemed that he had been a little too nervous just now.
"By the way, how is Xuande doing now? Where will he serve after this great achievement?"
Liu Jian said: "When I came back, he had already gone to serve as a county magistrate in Guanjin County, Anping County, Jizhou. Like his brother, he was also a county magistrate."
Gongsun Zan was somewhat worried when he heard about Liu Bei's position.
"Deran, that place is not very good. The land of Jizhou has always been a place where wealthy families and sects are spread, clans and factions are entrenched, and powerful people are everywhere. Xuande is there, let alone whether he is good at it or not. Just talking about the governance of the place, if there is no one
With the help of two wealthy families, I'm afraid the county magistrate will have a hard time doing it."
"Brother, don't worry, he is not without help there. When Xuande was young and studying, he had a dangerous encounter with a person in Jizhou, and he was the acquaintance of his death. This person was also a high-ranking person in the local area. His surname was Qian and his name was Zhao. His teacher was also from the local area.
He is a famous scholar named Leyin. With these two relationships, Xuande will not be too sad to come to Guanjin."
Gongsun Zan said curiously: "It's just the Qian family from Guanjin, but Qianzhao is just a disciple of Le Yin. I guess Le Yin won't easily accept the invitation of a student, right?"
"Hahahaha~~"
Liu Jian laughed loudly when he heard this: "Le Yin may not give face to his disciples, but he must give some face to Cui of Qinghe!"
"Cui family of Qinghe?"
Gongsun Zan's face changed slightly when he heard this.
Qinghe is close to Anping State and has great influence in the south of Xindu. If the Cui family of Qinghe says anything, not to mention letting Le Yin lead the Guanjin scholars to help Liu Bei, Liu Bei himself will have officialdom in Anping State in the future.
You can also go smoothly and not be squeezed out by local nobles and powerful people.
"But how can you establish a relationship with the Cui family of Qinghe?" Gongsun Zan asked very puzzled.
Liu Jian stood up, turned around and walked into the house. When he was young, he saw him holding a gift list and tattooing his name on it.
He placed the famous letter in front of Gongsun Zan and said, "You don't need to make any special connections, they will come to you by themselves! The Cui family of Qinghe traveled thousands of miles from Jizhou to Zhuoxian to congratulate me on my wedding."
The muscles on Gongsun Zan's face twitched back and forth in shock: "Qinghe Cui took the initiative to contact you? Why is this?"
Liu Jian said: "The Cui family of Qinghe wants to send Cui Lin and Cui Yan, the legitimate sons of the clan, to study under my father-in-law. I guess they have secretly found connections in Hebei before. They have a wide network in Hebei, but they may not be so easy to use in Qingzhou."
, Now that a son-in-law of the Zheng family like me is born in Youzhou, if they don’t come over quickly to express their goodwill to me, who else would be more suitable?"
Gongsun Zan put down his name card and let out a long sigh: "I thought that I, the son-in-law of the county governor, was already great, but I never thought that you, the son-in-law of the Zheng family, were even more great. I have gained so much from this."
The benefits are not only a thousand times greater than mine, but the Qinghe Cui family is just the beginning. I don’t know how many famous families will be friends with you in the future?! Envy, envy..."
At this point, Gongsun Zan suddenly remembered something: "No, Uncle Zheng is also a member of the party now. If you become his son-in-law, how can you promote filial piety and integrity into officialdom?"
Liu Jian smiled and said: "Senior brother, don't worry. My master told me yesterday that there is a new order in Luoyang, and a group of fringe party members have been released. My father-in-law's name is among these people."
When Gongsun Zan heard this, he was completely stunned.
"Have you known the news for a long time?"
Liu Jian shook his head and said: "Of course I don't know. Master Lu doesn't even know. How can I know?"
Gongsun Zan opened his mouth and looked at him in surprise: "If you really don't know, then by marrying the Zheng family, wouldn't you become his family's son-in-law in times of crisis?"
Liu Jian smiled and said: "Yes, I became Uncle Zheng's son-in-law when he was in trouble, which shows that I am not coveting his reputation and influence among the ancient and modern scholars. I am purely a friend in need."
"Hey, now that this incident has spread all over the world, I wonder if my reputation for benevolence and righteousness will be regarded as a model by the world's scholars? But compared to this, I am a little worried about whether my unmarried wife is really ugly.
Girl…oh, I’m so upset, so upset.”
Gongsun Zan was stunned for a long time, then suddenly grabbed Liu Jian's hands and said solemnly:
"My dear brother, if I don't give up, I will let you know if anything happens in the future. As long as it is something I can do for my brother, I will do my best!"
This little junior brother is so awesome, he will become a role model in the world sooner or later, he must quickly imitate him!
