I will be the master of Xuande

Chapter 142 Liu Yu once thought about poaching Liu Jian's corner

Liu Jian understood Liu Xu's situation, and speaking from his heart, these princes and kings did have their difficulties.

Thinking about it carefully is also true. Looking at the end of the Han Dynasty, since the death of Emperor Liu Hong, Dong Zhuo has been chaotic and chaotic. Sun Jian and Gongsun Zan, the military generals, Liu Yan and Liu Biao, representatives of the Han family clan who became officials based on Confucian classics, and Liu Bei, the military figure of the Han clan at the end of the Han Dynasty...

There are all kinds of heroes, but I haven't heard of any princes and kings who can stand up to form a force on behalf of the royal family, that is, a Chen Wang and Liu Chong are short-lived when they are fighting for the throne, but they are soon submerged by the turbulent river of history.

Without him, because in this period, the social resources mastered by princes and kings in various places are really too few.

In this society where the manor economy is the main economic lifeline, the weight ratio of the manor economy owned by the princes and kings is really squeezed, and what they have can't support them on the stage of competing for the throne.

Liu Xu's situation deserves sympathy, but Liu Jian still needs to follow the rules.

He sent someone to secretly report the matter about Liu Xu to Liu Hong.

After all, the princes and kings bowed their knees to serve the Yellow Turban, and it is too unpleasant to hear about it. In this era, there are princes and kings who have feudal states, and most of them are directly related to Guangwu. Although they have no strength and power, they still represent the glory and face of the Han Dynasty. .

However, along with those evidences, Liu Jian also wrote a secret memorial to Liu Hong—to intercede for Liu Xu.

When Liu Hong first saw the news that Liu Xu had served the Yellow Turban, he was furious, and immediately had the idea of ​​executing Liu Xu.

However, for the face of the Han Dynasty, he naturally couldn't tell the truth about the execution of Liu Xu, so he decided to set up a false charge of "big treason and immorality".

But when the letter submitted by Liu Jian to Liu Hong was placed in front of him, Liu Hong hesitated.

Liu Jian probably introduced Liu Xu's situation at that time to Liu Hong, and at the same time, from Liu Xu's standpoint, he stated the current difficulties faced by princes and kings in various places.

For hundreds of years, local rich and powerful families have occupied fertile land and people, even to the point of squeezing the living space of princes and kings in various feudal states.

Liu Jian remonstrated to Liu Hong that local maladministration had become evident, and the right and powerful forces were too strong. Although the princes and kings were weak, they were all the same clan of the emperor after all. They were the last layer of skin left by Emperor Guangwu in this world. When domestic and foreign affairs are exhausted, the emperor should draw in all available forces and treat the kings kindly.

After all, they are no longer a threat to the emperor compared to the nobles and nobles. If even they have lost confidence in the emperor, who should His Majesty use when something is really urgent?
Your Majesty, please treat these remaining kings kindly!

At least they are there, and it can prove that this world is a dynasty surnamed Liu.

After Liu Hong read Liu Jian's memorial, he couldn't help but fell silent.

In the end, he decided not to pursue Liu Xu's matter, but wrote a letter to scold Liu Xu himself.

This time, Liu Hong didn't even get rid of Liu Xu's feudal kingdom.

Liu Xu originally thought that he would die this time, but he didn't expect that not only his life was spared, but even the feudal kingdom was preserved, only to receive a scolding letter from Liu Hong, but for Liu Xu, this was really the best result unimaginable.

Liu Hong's letter also mentioned Liu Jian's pleading for him.

Liu Xu then rushed to Nangong County in person to express his gratitude to Liu Jian with Wang Li.

Liu Jian said that he was only doing his part. Although the blood relatives of the two of them were far away, they were both clan relatives after all. When he should help, he really wanted to help.

At that time, Liu Xu held Liu Jian's hand and cried so much.

Although the matter is relatively secret, there is no impenetrable wall in the world. Liu Jian helped Liu Xu avoid the danger of removing the closure of the country, and it spread among the Liu clan in the north.

There are three relatives of the Liu family who are closest to Anping Kingdom and are relatively famous.

One is Liu Hao, king of Changshan, one is Liu Zhong, king of Ganling, and the other is Liu Yu, the prime minister of Ganling who was appointed by Liu Hong not long ago to help Liu Zhong rebuild the country in Ganling.

Changshan King Liu Hao was not captured alive in Guangzong like Liu Xu and Liu Zhong when Zhang Jiao started the incident, but he was not much stronger than them.

The reason why Changshan King Liu Hao was spared was because he ran away directly and escaped into the deep mountains and old forests, and did not return to Changshan Kingdom until after the Yellow Turban was wiped out.

Although escaping is not an honorable thing, it is still better than being captured alive by the Yellow Turban.

After learning of Liu Xu's situation, the old king who had been in power for 32 years hurriedly wrote to Liu Jian, inviting him to a gathering in the palace of Changshan Kingdom and asking him to show his kindness as a landlord.

After all, these days, the princes and kings of the Liu family are still taken seriously, and there are not many descendants of the clan who are so helpful.

Most of Liu's clan members who are a little bit capable have already leaned towards the local prominent families and were absorbed and assimilated by the gentry group.

Liu Jian was not in a hurry to go to Changshan Kingdom, it wasn't that he didn't want to take on Liu Hao's side, it was just that he welcomed an important guest in Nangong, so Liu Jian had to be cautious.

This guest is Liu Yu, Minister of Ganling.

Even higher in rank than Liu Yan, another clan boss at the end of the Han Dynasty finally came.

In fact, Liu Yu and Liu Jian had a close relationship, among other things, when Liu Yu was a man in Beijing, he was close to Lu Zhi, and when he arrived in Youzhou, he was recommended by Lu Zhi and used Liu Jian's brother Guan Yu. .

At that time, as Guan Yu's ability was revealed, Liu Yu admired Guan Yu more and more, and he had the idea of ​​taking him under his family for his own use.

But unfortunately, Guan Yu did not respond to Liu Yu's enthusiasm.

This made Liu Yu very strange. After all, Guan Yu's background was not high, so why did he reject him?

Until one time, Liu Yu invited Guan Yu to a banquet. When the wine was half drunk, Liu Yu asked Guan Yu who he admired most in this world.

I don't want Guan Yu to bluntly say that it is his brother Liu Jian!
This made Liu Yu both frustrated and surprised.

But at that time, Liu Jian's reputation in the capital was not obvious, and he only had one great achievement in killing Xianbei, so Liu Yu didn't take him too seriously.

In Liu Yu's view, the relationship between Liu Jian and Guan Yu is nothing more than the friendship of teenagers who went to the battlefield together. With his own charisma, he will definitely be able to draw Guan Yu over sooner or later for his own use.

Therefore, since two years ago, Liu Yu, the governor of Youzhou, has sold Guan Yu crazily.

Someone offered a delicious deer meat today, and Liu Yu hurriedly gave half of it to Yun Chang!

Tomorrow someone will present Zhongshan fine wine from Zhongshan Kingdom, Liu Yu hastened to send two altars to Yunchang!

When Liu Yu checked the property of the mansion the day after tomorrow, he found that he had a lot of property, so he hurriedly decorated it with valuable treasures and sent them to Yun Chang!

I saw a fine horse BMW in the stables the day after tomorrow... How about it!Hurry up and send it to Yunchang!

But it is a pity that in the face of so many rewards, Guan Yu has only one answer: that is, during Liu Yu's tenure, Guan Yu must perform well, make more contributions, and live up to the high expectations of the governor.

And Guan Yu did exactly that. During Liu Yu's three-year tenure in Youzhou, his achievements in military affairs were extremely impressive, all thanks to Guan Yu.

After Liu Yu stepped down as governor of Youzhou, when Guan Yu bid farewell to Liu Yu and left Youzhou, he also sealed up all the gold and silver treasures that Liu Yu had given him over the years, and returned them to Liu Yu as a gift for travel expenses.

Liu Yu felt completely defeated, and he began to be extremely curious about Liu Deran in his heart.

What kind of person is it that can make a young righteous man like Guan Yunchang so determined?
