I will be the master of Xuande

Chapter 125 His Majesty is in business again

With Sun Jian's current status, no matter who Liu Jian introduced to him was from the Yuan family, it was very good for him.

Even if Yuan Shu is not the second-generation suzerain of the Yuan family, since he is the direct descendant of the head of the sect, his future future will definitely not be bad. Moreover, he is Yuan Ji's younger brother, and he will never bring Sun Jian into the Yuan sect in the future. In other words, Yuan Shu still has this bit of personnel power.

Sun Jian's performance also sounded the alarm for Liu Jian and the Yuan family.

This deep-rooted influence is really terrible.

Not only the children of the gentry, but also military generals like Sun Jian, they are also very yearning for the Yuan family.

Members of the second generation of the Yuan family don't need to make any effort at all, there will be all kinds of outstanding people rushing to vote for their lintels, and the Yuan family only needs to lie at home and select the best among these people Talents can form the most powerful force of the Han Dynasty.

This is a kind of influence formed by the accumulation of several generations of official careers, and it cannot be surpassed by others overnight.

Even if Liu Jian was recognized by the emperor, his so-called "imperial younger brother" title will completely lose its color in front of the family of the fourth generation and the third prince.

In fact, it's normal, not to mention the distant relatives Liu Hong forcibly recognized, even the princes and kings who have been passed down for generations.

This is the bottom line.

The matter was settled in this way, and Liu Jian asked Sun Jian to take back the manuscript of the Art of War first, and then make a conclusion after the matter is completed.

However, Sun Jian still has a strategy. He directly left the manuscript of Sun Wubing to Liu Jian, saying that he believed in the general's character and would not let him down.

Based on this action alone, Liu Jian can conclude that Sun Jian is not only hot-tempered, but also somewhat rich and resourceful.

It's quite a reward.

Afterwards, Liu Jian showed one thing to Sun Jian.

It was the memorabilia of military exploits that he had just drawn up, in which only Sun Jian's name was written behind the credit for beheading Zhang Mancheng.

Sun Jian was stunned when he saw it, and hurriedly said: "Man became the leader, and Sun and Huang Sima were beheaded together. Why is there only the name of the last official in the credit book?"

Liu Jianyan said: "It is said that Wentai was on the battlefield, and Han Sheng was quite unhappy with this matter. Later, Han Sheng came to me alone and said that he was willing to let this work go to Wentai, so he reported it like this."

"Han Sheng asked me not to say anything, but after thinking about it, I still feel that it is appropriate to inform Wentai about this matter."

After these words were spoken, Sun Jian was silent for a long time, finally stood up and saluted Liu Jian.

"Thank you General and Huang Sima for your generosity. If the junior officials take advantage of this merit alone, wouldn't they be laughed at by the people of the world? This kind of unrighteousness, the junior officials will swear to the death! Please, General, don't do such a thing!"

Hearing this, Liu Jian hesitated and said, "But Han Sheng has already discussed this matter with me beforehand."

"Over Huang Sima's side, Mr. Sun went to apologize. He was so rude on the battlefield before, and Mr. Sun was really sorry for Huang Sima. Now after listening to the general's words, Mr. Sun is even more ashamed!"

After all, he saluted Liu Jian again, then turned around and walked out of the camp, actually taking advantage of the night to plead guilty to Huang Zhong.

Looking at Sun Jian's disappearing back, Liu Jian smiled and shook his head.

He reached out from the side of the table and took out another slip and unfolded it.

The bamboo slips were another list of memorials, and in the column about the achievements of beheading Mancheng, the names of Huang Zhong and Sun Jian were impressively written.

"Oh, you're smart."

Liu Jian closed the slip, then stood up, and threw the slip that only said that Sun Jian killed Mancheng alone into the brazier, quietly watching the wooden slip "crackling" in the brazier. was burned to ashes.

……

……

The Yellow Turbans in Nanyang County and Ruying area were pacified very smoothly, and Lu Zhi, who was in charge of pacifying the Yellow Turbans in Jizhou, also won consecutive battles. It seemed that everything seemed to be developing in a favorable direction.

But at this time, Luoyang sent four eunuchs and servants to supervise the camp of the four Zhonglang generals.

And the person sent to Liu Jian's side was actually Lu Qiang.

And the servants sent to the other three Zhonglang generals are all Huangmen who are not as high as Lu Qiang. Only Liu Jian is a Zhongchang servant who came to supervise the army in person.

The old and the young are close friends, but in Luoyang, they are usually very careful when interacting with each other, but now they can justifiably have long conversations in the army.

"I don't think Zhong Changshi personally supervised the formation, it was beyond Liu's expectation!"

"Well, in fact, it is just a matter of superficiality to send the servants of the four routes to supervise the soldiers of the four formations. However, the old slave is afraid that someone will assassinate Deran, so he asked Empress He to speak to General He and asked the old slave to come. This warlord can also be regarded as protecting Deran."

"Protection?" Liu Jian was quite curious after hearing Lu Qiang's words: "What happened?"

Lu Qiang sighed: "Actually, the governor, General Huangfu, and General Zhu's three servants were only appointed recently. A month ago, Huangmen Zuofeng had been ordered by the General's Mansion to go to Hebei to supervise the formation. What Zuo Feng said was that Lu Zhonglang stood still and neglected the morale of the army, and most of them were accusations."

"Oh." Liu Jian suddenly said, "Understood."

Lu Qiang said: "It is rumored that Zuo Feng asked General Lu Zhonglang for a bribe in Hebei, but Lu Zhonglang refused to give it. Therefore, this old slave is afraid that what Deran will encounter is not human, so he came here in person."

Liu Jian cupped his hands at Lu Qiang, and said, "Thank you Zhongchang for your kindness. I came here after a long journey, just to protect Liu Jian. I am very grateful!"

"The relationship between you and me doesn't have to be like this, but because of Zuo Feng's words, His Majesty seems to have the intention to abolish Duke Lu. The General's Mansion is studying this matter day and night. As a member of the royal family, De Ran still needs to advise His Majesty. Don't listen to villains, your Master Lu is about to defeat the enemy."

But Liu Jian shook his head and said: "I can't advise His Majesty, I can only write a letter to Master Lu, Xingye sends Jingqi Ruishi to Hebei, ask Master Lu to take the initiative to write a letter, and ask Luoyang to be the commander-in-chief .”

"What?" Lu Qiang was shocked when he heard the words: "At this time, you are not facing your teacher, what is the reason for this?"

"Master Zhongchang, you are also an old man by His Majesty's side. Could it be that you can't see the clues to this matter? The situation in the Hebei battlefield is very good, and success is imminent. Don't you know in your Majesty's mind? Your Majesty will be left behind for such a big matter. Be deceived by one person's words?"

"My teacher has been victorious in battles, and it is only a matter of time before Zhang Jiao is captured and killed. Could it be that His Majesty doesn't know? I don't believe it."

When Lu Qiang heard this, his expression was a little ugly.

"This old slave knows that Zuo Feng, a mere servant, is qualified to shake General Lu Zhonglang? It's just that His Majesty's move really chills the hero."

"That's right, it's chilling... The eunuchs are all His Majesty's arms. It's even more ridiculous to remonstrate with the commander-in-chief's Huangmen without money, but since this is His Majesty's intention, it means that his determination has been made and cannot be changed."

Lu Qiang sighed, "Why is Your Majesty doing this?"

"I don't know the specific reason, but I think it's nothing more than that between His Majesty and the ministers in the court, there should be some kind of business again. This extraordinary feat of killing the leader of the Yellow Turban bandit should be done to the ministers." compromised,"

"Don't let Mr. Lu receive this unrivaled merit, but replace it with the confidants of the court officials and high-ranking officials to receive this credit. But relatively, everyone in the court should have given what His Majesty wanted, so I think, at this moment, let the teacher take a step back, take a step back, so as not to delay His Majesty's business, "

"Even if Zhang Jiao is killed, it's not only His Majesty who will be offended, but also all the ministers."
