Cao Cao understands Yuan Shao. In terms of ability, Yuan Shao definitely has it, and Cao Cao thinks that Yuan Shao's ability is superior to his.
But it is a pity that in recent years, Benchu no longer acts as hastily as in the past, but has a lot of worries. Although he still has many plans, when things come to a close, hesitation will appear from time to time.
However, Cao Cao didn't think Yuan Shao was at fault for doing this.
Just like Cao Cao, his ancestors were powerful officials, but from the moment he was born, he carried the reputation of being a eunuch, which made Cao Cao very angry and anxious.
Over the years, he had worked with Yuan Shao, making friends with his party members and secretly helping him. Although he still carried the name of a eunuch, in the eyes of the nobles and nobles, he was no better than before.
Therefore, Cao Cao can somewhat understand Yuan Shao's mood, and he also cherishes the current situation that has been changed through his efforts.
For those who have overcome many difficulties to get to where they are today, they naturally cherish their current achievements much more than usual.
Therefore, to be on the safe side, Yuan Shao decided not to make friends with Liu Jian for the time being, which was common sense.
He wanted to wait three months for this incident to pass before he showed his favor to Liu Jian. This way he could not only put the son-in-law of the Zheng family and a meritorious official in the North into a trap, but also prevent Yuan Wei from having any influence on him.
What opinion.
After hearing Yuan Shao's thoughts, Xu You nodded quickly and said: "Since I originally had the intention to conquer this person, it would be better to wait for three months."
Yuan Shao turned to look at Cao Cao and said, "What do you mean by Meng De?"
Cao Cao was silent for a while, and then whispered: "I dare to ask Benchu, what if the highway and Shishiji are ahead of you during this period?"
Yuan Shao laughed when he heard this and said: "Impossible, my eldest brother is the legitimate son and the next head of the clan. He has been taught to be the guardian of the Yuan family since he was a child, and he usually thinks of himself as noble. How can he treat a child from a border county?
Intersect? As for the highway...he doesn't have the brain!"
"But you need to know that he is not an ordinary son from the border county, but the son-in-law of the Zheng family, and behind him are thousands of Zheng Xue disciples!"
After hearing this, Yuan Shao couldn't help but fell silent.
He thought carefully for a while and said: "No, you need to know that my brother and the road will also be worried about what I am worried about. They may even be more serious than I thought! Don't worry, after all,
My uncle is still here."
…
After Liu Jian arrived in Luoyang, he rented a house in the southern suburbs of Luoyang to settle down. After all, the houses in Luoyang City were too expensive, and there was no need for him, a minister, to live in such a house for the time being.
The Lang officials in the Eastern Han Dynasty were divided into Yi Lang, Zhong Lang, Shi Lang and Lang Zhong. Among them, the 600-shi Yi Lang was used by many important ministers as a transitional position and would not be used by Xiaolian who had just entered the official position. For example, Tao who had just resigned as the governor of Youzhou would not be allowed to serve.
Qian is still serving as a councilor in Beijing at this moment.
Based on Liu Jian's identity and background, it stands to reason that he would be promoted to a doctor, and then, like other local officials, after a three-year term, if he passed the political review test, he would be promoted to the rank of minister.
In addition, there is also Yu Lin Lang in the palace. Like other Lang officials, they all belong to the general manager Guang Luxun. However, Yu Lin Lang is mostly a descendant of the Bian Gong family, and he came to the capital with his family's martial arts skills. He is the same as Liu Jian Ju Xiaolian.
A way.
Liu Jian had great achievements, and this time the emperor also valued him quite a lot. With these two items, he took a step up the ladder. Instead of being the lowest doctor, he made an exception and became the minister.
Regardless of whether they are the lieutenant, the minister, or the lieutenant, they do not have fixed positions. They are sent to the nine temples and various offices in the capital wherever there is demand. They are just like temporary workers in later generations. Wherever there is dirty work, there will be no one.
They are there.
In addition, there is another job that is the duty of every Langguan and must be done regularly, that is, taking turns to guard the palace. Of course, the guards are usually dominated by Habayashi Lang, but the three departments
The Lang Guan also has to assist in the rotation on a regular basis.
Of course, it was not the male officials' turn to stay in the North Palace. It was the daily residence of the emperor and his concubines, so theoretically, it was only the Nangong Palace where the male officials stayed.
An emperor's palace where the emperor is almost invisible.
After Liu Jian joined the job, because he was a newcomer, his time as a guard was scheduled to be more diligent than that of some veteran officers.
This is understandable. There are many old officials in the capital who have been serving as officials for ten or twenty years. They have been serving the emperor for most of their lives. What's wrong with replacing them with new brats like you?
…
"Ah~~!"
Liu Jian yawned deeply, his mood waning.
What he is responsible for guarding today is the imperial road between the North Palace and the Nangong. If the emperor and his concubines come from the North Palace to the Nangong for business, naturally they cannot pass through directly on the streets of Luoyang City. They must pass through the imperial road, so here
It is also a key point.
The West Garden is next to the North Palace. Liu Hong is obsessed with the West Garden all day long. He rarely comes to the Nangong all year round, let alone in the middle of the night. Therefore, when these officials are staying in the guard, they don't have to worry about running into the emperor.
It's also worry-free.
But tonight, it seems special.
The emperor didn't meet him, but the eunuch did.
In the middle of the night, Lu Qiang, the general attendant, suddenly led people from the royal road to Nangong, saying that he was ordered to supervise the guards.
Seeing the lieutenants yawning and swaying all over the place, Lu Qiang scolded them.
These ministers were all local filial and honest scholars, so they naturally looked down upon Lu Qiang and despised him in their hearts.
But after all, he is a regular servant, and his position is there, and he still supervises the guards on behalf of the emperor. Moreover, these people on our side are indeed all crooked and unsightly. If they bump into someone's gun, if they have any grievances, they can only go to their stomachs.
Swallowed.
If you have any bad words, you can only curse them in your stomach.
After reprimanding them, Lu Qiang casually pointed out a Langguan to lead the way near the royal road, and took him to Nangong to inspect the various guards.
He, a casual person, accidentally hit Liu Jian's head.
So, Liu Jian, with the gloating expressions of the officials nearby, led Lu Qiang to inspect the various posts in Nangong.
After walking around for a while, they arrived outside the side hall. Lu Qiang asked his young eunuch to wait outside. He wanted to go in to inspect the interior of the palace, and then asked Liu Jian to lead him in.
After entering the palace, he wandered around pretentiously for a while, and suddenly heard Lu Qiang say to Liu Jian: "You know, what is the purpose of this old man's special trip today?"
Liu Jian stopped, turned to look at Lu Qiang, and said: "With the feelings and ambitions of serving the country and the people as a regular servant, I guess you really have nothing to do and come to Nangong to check on the sentry post where I am waiting?"
"Of course not, Liu Deran. Although I am a eunuch, I am dedicated to being a scholar. I have been admonishing Your Majesty all the time to reduce luxury, focus on people's livelihood, reduce fighting, and devote to farming. However, Your Majesty does not take it seriously. In recent years, I have become more and more fond of Lao Chen.
Estranged, and now both Cao Jie and Wang Fu are dead, Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and others regard the old man as a thorn in their side and wish they could get rid of him soon... Alas, the old man thought he was worthy of others all his life, but he didn't expect that after he got old, he would become a thorn in his side.
I feel like I'm sitting on pins and needles every day, and I can't sleep at night."
After saying that, Lu Qiang looked at Liu Jian and said: "I am the elder of my generation. I call you nephew in vain. I can see that you are extraordinary and different from others. I came here today just to continue what I didn't say last time."
If that's the case, let's finish talking...Nephew Deran, can you help me?"
Liu Jian sighed: "The heart of the regular servant can be revealed by the sun and the moon, but your majesty's temperament is not a habit developed in a year or two, but the result of many years of accumulation. It is impossible for the regular servant to change your majesty overnight."
of,"
"You keep talking in His Majesty's ears about things that he doesn't want to hear every day. His Majesty is naturally dissatisfied with you. For this reason, we only allow loyal ministers like you and me to cooperate secretly and support each other. When we all stand
Only when you reach a certain position can you advise your Majesty to be kind and righteous, and to serve the country and the people!"
Lu Qiang looked at him doubtfully: "Must... compliment each other?"
"Yes, we compliment each other. You and I are eunuchs and scholars, inside and outside. We can't show ourselves to be loyal ministers in front of His Majesty, right? Only after I help you gain His Majesty's trust, and you help me in front of His Majesty
Explain my benefits and be harmonious both internally and externally. Over time, your Majesty will not only trust you but also trust me. In this way, we can advise your Majesty, do you understand?"
