Liu Jian supported his chin with his hand and was filled with emotion as he watched Yuan Ji beside him.
At this moment, he felt that Yuan Ji was actually quite capable.
He inherited the title of Marquis of Anguoting at a young age. As the direct eldest son of Yuan Feng, he is also the leader of the next generation of the Yuan family. His patriarchal status can be described as transcendent. It can be said that such a person has been facing everything since he was born.
He is the man who leads the bright road and is destined to reach the pinnacle of the world's elite.
Such a person still wants to create a picture of nostalgic for the past and reminiscing about childhood... Are you being pretentious or not?
If I were to travel through time and become you, I would be able to punch a hole in my stomach!
But even so, Liu Jian couldn't say that.
From a certain perspective, the big boss in front of him may be more troublesome than Liu Hong. With his current size, he cannot afford to offend him at all.
In particular, this person seems to be someone who likes to sigh and recall the past, which shows that he is even more of an obedient donkey.
If you want to obey a donkey, you should naturally stroke its fur.
"Brother Yuan is already in his thirties and is already in a high position. He leads a noble clan and has a monopoly on the subject. He is respected by all the sages and respected by people at home. Why does he seem so lonely in his words?"
After hearing Liu Jian's words, Yuan Ji felt both useful and emotional.
He sighed and said: "My dear brother Deran, in your eyes, Yuan was born in the huge Yuan family, respected by scholars, and can lead all the sages, but in fact I also have my own sufferings."
Liu Jian smiled lightly when he heard this.
Difficulty?
Yes, you are suffering too much. Your Yuan family has too many interests, and there are too many interests that you want to continue to divide. Your Yuan family has a harder time living than the common people of Li who had their land annexed, and the heads of Guizhou who have no food or clothing.
"It's not cold at high places. The king will eventually achieve great things. Although I don't know why the king said such things, but the inchworm stings are to gain trust; the dragon and snake stings are to protect one's body. A real man can endure it."
The world cannot bear it, so he can do things that the world cannot do. When a prince encounters a small setback, he looks back on the past and sighs. Is this the behavior of someone who can achieve great achievements?"
Yuan Ji frowned, then put down the wooden wine bottle in his hand, and looked at Liu Jian in surprise.
"Since Lord Yan passed away, no one has taught me such a lesson!"
Liu Jian smiled and said: "If the king is unwilling to listen, it would be fine if Liu did not say anything."
"No!"
Yuan Ji hurriedly raised his hand to block Liu Jian's words: "I want to say it, I want to say it!"
"Since the Lord wants me to speak, I also want to hear a word from the Lord."
"Speaking!"
"Your Majesty sent someone to give me a gift, and waited for me for two more months without urging or asking. It was only today that we made an appointment to come to this northern mountain to hunt together. Why is it that you are doing this as a monarch?"
When Yuan Ji heard this, he burst out laughing: "I admire Deran so much that I want to make friends with him, that's all."
"How can Jian, who is of such a high status, be on the same level as a friend of a prince?"
"Hey! Why not? You are a brave man who killed the leader of Xianbei thieves in the north. You are also a famous literary figure who has heard of Luoyang. You are also a two thousand stone captain personally appointed by His Majesty. To be honest, Yuan is just a
I just took over the post of Duke Wen Rao and moved to the Yongle Shaofu. You and I have similar ranks and salaries, so why can't we be friends?"
Liu Jian laughed when he heard this: "Do you really think so?"
Yuan Ji laughed loudly: "Do I have any other reasons?"
Of course you have other reasons, Liu Jian muttered secretly in his heart.
You didn’t say the most important reason!
When you approach me, you are still Zheng Xuan, a party member who has just been released.
In the Yuan family, Yuan Ji was trained by his fathers Yuan Feng and Yuan Wei according to the Shoucheng people. In the past, when the Party was in power, only a young man like Yuan Shao who dared to be the first could compete for the reputation of being a model in the world and expand under the Party's policy.
The foundation of the Yuan family, and legitimate sons like Yuan Ji, were protected, and they performed their duties in the court step by step, with their bodies in plain sight, serving as the gatekeepers to preserve the existing foundation of the Yuan family.
The changes in the court situation were extremely complicated. Yuan Feng died, and Yuan Kai's brother finally came to the throne. Yuan Shao got the title of a model in the world and became famous among the party members. Although Yuan Ji was still the eldest son, he was still the oldest of the second generation of the Yuan family.
He was a solid next speaker, but the direction of things seemed to deviate from his original expectations.
For example, the Yuan family of Yuan Feng and Yuan Wei is similar to the county system. In addition to the clan leader, other people named Yuan also have some power, but most of the power is still in the hands of the clan leader.
.
But looking at the way Yuan Wei has manipulated the second generation of the Yuan family over the years, it seems to be developing in the direction of feudalism. The authority of the second generation of the Yuan family has begun to increase one by one. Although the patriarch is still the leader, all the brothers also have
gained a certain right to speak.
Yuan Ji understood that Yuan Wei wanted to leave more say to the legitimate sons of his family after his death. It is no wonder that after his death, his family will become a branch from now on, generation after generation.
It is becoming more and more biased. Only by re-straightening the original rules while he is still in power can the direct descendants still have hope of staying on the Yuan family's biggest stage.
From Yuan Ji's point of view, it doesn't matter. As long as he continues to walk step by step, and continues to walk in the court in a corpse position, sooner or later he will become the leader of the Yuan family with disciples and former officials all over the world.
The worst thing is just "a few more princes and kings".
But what makes Yuan Ji happy is that the road he has seen to the end is controlled by other people's hands, and even has been controlled for a long time.
His self-esteem and arrogance did not allow him to accept this outcome so resignedly.
Regardless of whether his archery skills are good or not, he can only shoot the deer!
Only he can share the venison!
He can apologize to others afterwards and say that he couldn't help it - but it will be his share of the meat!
This is the case with hunting...it's the same with the Yuan family.
Yuan Ji thought that Liu Jian could not see through him, but Liu Jian saw through him.
The next head of the Yuan family wants to break the rules of the current head of the family, and it starts with Liu Jian.
According to the arrangements of the Yuan family, Yuan Shao is basically in charge of all the forces that have relations with the party members.
Although Zheng Xuan was released from the party, he was once a party member after all, and this boundary is not blurred.
But Yuan Ji came to subdue him at this moment, showing that he was determined to break Yuan Wei's rules.
From now on, he, Yuan Ji, will also take over the party members' connections.
…
"The Lord and Lord want to recognize me as a friend, and Liu Jian is extremely grateful. In that case, Liu Jian, as a friend, will give you a message to the Lord and Lord today!"
Yuan Ji turned to look at him and said, "Please tell me, Deran."
"If you want to become a tool, you must bear its weight."
After saying this, Yuan Ji was stunned on the spot.
At this moment, his heart felt like it was overwhelming.
Liu Jian didn't care about Yuan Ji's silence. He just sat there quietly, raising his head and drinking the good wine Liu Ji gave him.
Yuan's wine is indeed a top-grade wine. It is sweet and refreshing, leaving people with endless aftertaste.
Since Yuan Ji plans to subdue himself... let him 'subdue' him.
During this trip to Luoyang, he initially just wanted to accept what the emperor gave him.
But now it seems that the next head of the Yuan family may be able to give him more.
So at this moment, he should not show too much humility in front of Yuan Ji, but at least show enough wisdom, so that Yuan Ji can feel that he is a candidate to be his "right-hand man".
Just like Yuan Benchu had Cao Mengde as his friend and assistant...
Why can't there be Liu Deran next to the boss of the Yuan family?
