Zhang Rang said coldly, "I am willing to do difficult things for Your Majesty." Everyone had different attitudes.
Liu Yan stroked his beard and said nothing, as if he didn't hear anything.
Usually when a eunuch commits a crime like this, he usually won't express his stance.
Liu Yan has his bottom line. He is a relative of the emperor and a new generation of roly-poly after Hu Guang.
Since he is a roly-poly, he must not fall into Zhang Rang's camp.
Scholars all over the world can acquiesce that he is assisting Liu Hong as a relative of the emperor, but they will never forgive him for committing adultery with Zhang Rangpeng, whether they are students of ancient literature or modern literature.
But he also needs the emperor's trust.
Therefore, when Zhang Rang is present and the other party is still talking, Liu Yan usually doesn't make a speech and just muddles along.
Zhang Rang also understood that Liu Yan was unwilling to get too close to him, but he also knew that Liu Yan would not directly oppose him.
Therefore, when he said this, he did not look at Liu Yan, but looked steadily at the emperor.
He knew that Liu Yan would not be an obstacle to him.
Liu Hong didn't say anything, he was just thinking about it carefully.
The emperor knew what Zhang Rang meant, which was to draft the charges from the perspective of a eunuch, arrest some, punish some, depose some, kill some, and fight with the opponent with thunderous tactics.
The same old methods are the same.
For emperors and eunuchs, this trick was sometimes effective and sometimes ineffective, mainly depending on the other party's goals and determination.
If the opponent is determined, not afraid of death, and gathers more scholars to remonstrate with him, the more suppressive he is, the worse the effect will be.
Liu Hong has accumulated a lot of experience in this field with the ministers of the court for many years. He knows that Zhang Rang's method is the fastest and most trouble-free, but it also has the most unstable factors.
Liu Hong hesitated, but upon seeing this, Lu Qiang wanted to speak.
But when Lu Qiang saw the way Liu Jian looked at him, he swallowed his words back.
Liu Jian was staring at him fiercely with two big eyes.
Don't open your mouth!
Alas, Liu Jian just wouldn't let himself speak... He was holding him back like a cow to death.
But in fact, Lu Qiang didn’t have any confidence either…
Liu Hong looked around and finally set his sights on Liu Jian.
"I love you." Liu Hong said slowly.
"What are your orders, Your Majesty?"
"In your opinion, what do you think of this? Is this method feasible?"
Liu Jian said solemnly: "It is rare for a regular servant to have the heart to share your Majesty's worries. I can't match it."
Zhang Rang was quite satisfied after hearing Liu Jian's words.
This royal family member is quite knowledgeable.
Compared to Liu Yan who was silent, this guy was better at reading people's faces.
Liu Hongqi asked: "Ai Qing, do you think this method is feasible?"
Liu Jian replied sternly: "There is no method in this world that is impossible. It just depends on how to hit it with one hit!"
Liu Hongdao: "How to hit with one hit?"
"As long as Changshi can find the person who should be killed and dealt with, he can hit the target with one blow, and the matter can be solved smoothly. It depends on whether Changshi has the courage. As far as I know, this time I will guide the ministers of Jinwen Department to report to Your Majesty
The person who asked for advice and at the same time translated the memorials from County Magistrate Shanglu and Hai to tell the story was Yuan Ji, the Marquis of Anguoting..."
When Liu Yan, who had his eyes closed and said nothing, heard this, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
This brat is so cunning.
Zhang Rang's expression suddenly turned ugly.
Liu Jian asked very humbly: "I don't know how Chang Shi is going to attack Anguo Pavilion?"
"I, when did I say I was going to attack Yuan Ji?" Zhang Rang stuttered a bit.
As far as Liu Jian knows, there should be only one person in the world who is brave enough to directly attack the next generation leader of the Yuan clan in Runan, and that person is Dong Zhuo.
I don’t know how Zhang Rang’s determination to completely break up with the world’s elite families and tens of millions of scholars at this time is compared to Dong Zhuo’s?
Zhang Rang was a little anxious: "Members of the Yuan family, how can we act rashly? My intention is to kill chickens to scare monkeys..."
Liu Hong stretched out his hand and interrupted Zhang Rang's words.
At this moment, the emperor had understood the deep meaning of Liu Jian's words.
"The second-generation patriarch of the Yuan family in Runan has been dormant for many years. In the past, he never asked about the affairs of the party. Now he takes action for the first time. Who do you think you can kill to scare him?"
Zhang Rang frowned and began to consider everything in his mind... Finally, he sighed helplessly.
If Liu Hong says it this way, it seems that it is really not easy to kill anyone.
Yuan Ji has not touched the matter of party supervision for more than ten years. Now that he has touched it, he has naturally made sufficient preparations and made great determination.
If one or two people were punished and then retreated, wouldn't the second-generation head of the Yuan family become a laughing stock in the world for his first large-scale action?
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. This old slave was anxious for a moment and only wanted to share your Majesty's worries, but he ignored the key point."
Liu Hong waved his hand indifferently and said: "It doesn't matter, just remember to learn more from the Yueqi Colonel in the future."
"Here."
Zhang Rang then bowed to Liu Jian and said: "Liu Yueqi's words were like a revelation, which made me enlightened. In the future, I will ask the captain to correct my mistakes."
Liu Jian responded politely: "It doesn't matter. If you have anything you don't understand, please ask. Liu will tell you everything he knows."
Zhang Rang's eyelids jumped.
Your great father’s…
I have given you a few compliments, but you, a male, are really out of breath?
Liu Jian's actions made Zhang Rang very unhappy. Most of the eunuchs were petty, especially those in high positions. To climb from the bottom to a high position among eunuchs, they must have experienced dangers that ordinary people cannot imagine.
and humiliation, so most of these people have bad intentions.
Liu Jian knew all this, but he didn't care and still offended Zhang Rang at this moment.
It was not that he deliberately wanted to be an enemy of Zhang Rang, but after his analysis, he concluded that under the current circumstances, doing so was more in line with his actual interests.
From a joint perspective, Zhang Rang's reputation is really bad.
Moreover, this person's character is indeed vicious, and he is not as stable as his cooperation with Lu Qiang. If the outside world knows even a little bit about Zhang Rang's relationship with him, then the reputation he has finally accumulated will be completely ruined.
Of course, working with Lu Qiang is different. Even if the outside world knows a little bit about it, it won't have much impact on him. After all, Lu Qiang's reputation among scholars is just fine.
Another point is that Liu Jian may be able to control his behavior from being known to the outside world, but he cannot control Zhang Rang, because Zhang Rang will pretend except in front of Liu Hong. He himself is not a good person, and he is not a low-key person either.
people.
Any scholar who betrays and cooperates with Zhang Rang will always face the risk of being betrayed by Zhang Rang.
Another reason for the direct confrontation with Zhang Rang was Liu Hong.
Zhang Rang was called father by Liu Hong, Zhao Zhong was called mother, and he was the clan brother Liu Hong had just recognized. But from an emperor's point of view, Liu Hong subconsciously wanted to see his 'father'
'Amu' and 'clan brothers' are not that united, so it would be best if they could still fight each other.
He didn't like to see these people whom he regarded as knives spontaneously tied together and evolved into machine guns.
Liu Yan did this extremely well.
Therefore, it is very necessary to appropriately disparage Zhang Rang in front of Liu Hong and make the relationship more tense in order to continue working under the emperor.
Sure enough, seeing Zhang Rang's slightly disgusted expression fall, Liu Hong's mouth once again showed an expression of gloating, but it disappeared in an instant.
Although it was very fast, Liu Jian still captured it keenly.
He sighed secretly in his heart: This emperor is more than cunning and cunning, but not enough in his royal ways.
As an emperor, Liu Hong was partial to science.
"I love you!" Liu Hong looked at Liu Jian again with a smile on his face: "In your opinion, Yuan Ji has gathered many vassals of the Yuan family this time and wants me to remove him from the party. How should we handle this matter?"
Liu Jian gave a long salute to Liu Hong and said: "Your Majesty, in my opinion, at this time, your Majesty might as well try to gradually lift the imprisonment of the party."
Liu Yan's hand stroking his beard stopped for a moment.
The other eunuchs on the side all looked at Liu Jian with resentment.
Liu Yan also opened his eyes and looked at Liu Jian with some surprise.
A child who is usually very smart, how could he be so stupid now?
Lu Qiang felt a cold sweat in his heart for Liu Jian.
He also said that I usually give His Majesty too much advice, but I think you are not as good as me!
Do you know that you are touching His Majesty's heart?!
Your Majesty will hate you, do you know?
In front of Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong, you want to lift the party prison sentence. Do you not want to live anymore?!
