I will be the master of Xuande

Chapter 242 Zhang Rang, who have you become?

"Is this list really complete?"

Before stationing in Licheng, Liu Jian had someone bring Zhang Rang to him from Yecheng.

Anyway, right now he is only training troops in Qingzhou for the time being, and has no plans to send troops to wipe out those Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army. It is not bad to use this time to stir up troubles in other places in the Han Dynasty.

Anyway, he, Liu Jian, couldn't be idle.

In today's Luoyang City, Dong Zhuo has joined forces with Lu Qiang, and if nothing else happens, Lu Qiang should hand over to Dong Zhuo the "list of eunuchs' influence in the Han Dynasty" that he knows.

However, Liu Jian estimated that the list of eunuch forces that Lu Qiang knew should be incomplete.

After all, the people who started to arrange and arrange in the states and counties of the Han Dynasty were all ten permanent servants, and Lu Qiang didn't intervene much.

Zhang Rang is the one who knows best about the "talent heritage" left by eunuchs in various states and counties.

"It's all, it must be all!"

Zhang Rang nodded vigorously, and patted his chest to Liu Jian to reassure: "My life is now in the hands of the envoy, so how dare I talk nonsense?"

"I've been familiar with the list on this silk all these years. Among them are Zhang's former officials, as well as Zhao Zhong, Bi Lan, Guo Sheng and my fellow countrymen,"

"These people are now in important positions in various states and counties. They are all trusted by our Zhongchang Servant, and they are dedicated to serving His Majesty!"

Liu Jian nodded slowly, and said: "Zhong Chang Shi, from now on, you have to know that the name Zhang Rang will disappear from this world, and the world can no longer accommodate you ten Chang Shi,"

"If you want to survive, you have to give up your original identity and everything you had before...Of course, if you don't want to, it doesn't matter, I will send your head to Luoyang, whether it is Dong Zhuoyi or Yuan Kai , I think I would rather see your head!"

Zhang Rang naturally understood his current situation.

The eunuchs left by the late emperor have been wiped out by all Luoyang people.

Whether it's because of the Yuan family fighting for power, or because of the political correctness of the gentry, or something else...

Anyway, Shi Changshi, who once played an important role on the political stage of the Han Dynasty, has now been thrown into the garbage dump of history together with He Jin, and can no longer make any waves.

Let me ask, if he is Zhang Rang again... How will the world treat garbage?
The name of the ten permanent attendants can no longer gain a foothold in this world.

Are you willing to ask Zhang Rang?
His answer is definitely not reconciled.

But you ask if Zhang Rang is afraid of death?
His answer is definitely - I am afraid of death!

In the fear of death and nostalgia for power, Zhang Rang has no choice at all.

"As long as the envoy can save my life, and I am willing to abandon my current identity and name, everything will be subject to the envoy's arrangement!"

Liu Jian stood up, greeted a waiting Jizhou envoy from the door, handed him the silk list written by Zhang Rang, and asked him to go to Luoyang to hand the list to Dong Zhuo.

The current Dong Zhuo has financial power and military power in Luoyang City, but has no local support forces in Kanto.

Lu Qiang should provide Dong Zhuo with some of the former eunuchs, but it will definitely not be as complete as what Zhang Rang provided.

With this list, coupled with the support of the emperor, Dong Zhuo can use the fastest speed to subdue the forces that the ten permanent servants have arranged in Kanto for many years.

As for whether these eunuchs' old departments in various states and counties will submit to Dong Zhuo... the answer is almost certain.

Shi Changshi has been fighting with the world's gentry for too long, and the hatred between them has reached the point of unending, and no one can resolve the entanglement.

But anyone with a little brain knows that once the scholars of the Jinwen Department gain power in the court, they, the former eunuchs, will not end well.

Of course, it wasn't that Dong Zhuo was trying to recruit them, so they would all go over there. After all, Dong Zhuo and them were not on the same side.

But if there is Lu Qiang as an intermediary, the effect will be greatly different.

Lu Qiang is an eunuch, and also the eunuch with the best character. The old department of Shi Changshi did not so much submit to Dong Zhuo in order to fight against the gentry, but rather to attach to Lu Qiang in the name of submitting to Dong Zhuo.

Everyone gets what they need.

The messenger took Liu Jian's handwritten letter and left.

Looking at the back of the messenger leaving, Zhang Rang was a little absent-minded for a while, his chest seemed to be emptied, and it was very uncomfortable to be blocked for a while.

Seeing Zhang Rang in a daze, Liu Jian ignored him. He stretched, picked up the ring head knife beside him, and walked quickly outside.

It took a while for Zhang Rang to react.

He hurriedly followed Liu Jian out.

Liu Jian came to the courtyard, greeted Zhao Yun, and immediately practiced with him.

Over the years, in terms of martial arts, Liu Jian has never lagged behind. When Liu Bei and Zhang Fei were around, he practiced against Liu Bei and Zhang Fei. Later, when he came to the capital, he took the time to fight against Yu Ze and Li Damu. , Now that there are more and more people who are good at fighting around him, he will alternately fight with these people back and forth.

Anyway, if you have time to exercise yourself, take time to exercise yourself.

Of course, as his status became higher, these subordinates began to understand the severity when they fought against him. Even Liu Bei began to be merciful and let Liu Jian.

But even so, this kind of training can still make Liu Jian make a lot of progress.

Through fighting against different fierce generals, Liu Jian's skills are also improving. His current martial arts skills are basically on par with Liu Bei, and he can even be a head higher than Liu Bei in archery.

As far as this era is concerned, it is very remarkable to be able to equalize Liu Bei's martial arts.

After all, Liu Bei in history was also a famous emperor on horseback. He had been a soldier all his life and had a lot of experience in front of the battle. Although he was not as good as Guan Zhangzhao, it was by no means a huge difference.

Being able to draw with Liu Bei proves that Liu Jian is also of first-class level.

Liu Jian and Zhao Yun fought for a long time, sweating profusely, then put the ring-shou sword on the ground, and laughed loudly: "Have a good time!"

Zhao Yun cupped his hands to Liu Jian with a smile, and said, "As Jun's swordsmanship becomes more and more proficient, Yun is almost unable to resist the enemy today."

"When did you also learn to flatter?"

Zhao Yun said with a smile: "It's not flattery, it's really sincere words."

The attendant at the side delivered a square scarf, Liu Jian wiped his head, and looked at Zhang Rang at the side.

"Are you in a daze?"

Zhang Rang smiled awkwardly: "It's over, it's over..."

Liu Jian handed the square scarf back to the attendant and said, "From now on, you will be a member of the Liu family in Zhuo County."

"what?"

Zhang Rang was surprised when he heard the words: "Let me be a member of the Liu family?"

Liu Jian narrowed his eyes: "Your identity is so special, I don't worry about arranging you a false identity from another clan. Only by placing you in my clan can I protect you to the greatest extent and conceal your identity." identity,"

"However, I can tell you that the channels that can leak news are all under my control. People who know that you are still alive are all under my command. I will take care of their mouths, but if you take care of yourself If your identity is leaked out, don't blame me for killing you the first time!"

Zhang Rang saluted and said, "Thank you for your protection, envoy."

"Don't worry, I didn't protect you for nothing, and I will use you in the future."

Zhang Rang asked again: "Then I would like to ask my lord, what name do you intend to let the old slave live in the world?"

Liu Jian couldn't help secretly praising.

No wonder Emperor Ling of Han liked Zhang Rang. This Zhongchang attendant was really adaptable and as careful as dust, which was really extraordinary.

Know that at this moment, call yourself "Master"!
Others in Jizhou called him Lord, and he asked himself to be called Lord, but he called him decently and respectfully.

"This name, after all, is what you need to use in the future. You can choose it for yourself. Liu Da, Liu Er, Liu San, Liu Zhang, Liu Qi, Liu Biao, Liu Cong, Liu Jin, whatever you want, anyway, the name of my family People, as long as they are surnamed Liu."

"Liu Jin?"

When Zhang Rang heard Liu Jian say this name, his spirits lifted immediately.

"The name Liu Jin is very good! Five colors meet, the price is like gold, very good, very good!"

Liu Jian looked at Zhang Rang helplessly, really not knowing what to say.

There are so many names that can be called, but I prefer to be called by such a name.

When I was young, I saw Liu Jian heaving a long sigh.

"Okay, you can call it whatever you want. It seems that you have some fate with this name."

Zhang Rang said: "From now on, this old slave will be Liu Jin of the Liu family in Zhuo County."

Liu Jian said casually: "You can do whatever you want. Later, I will find a way to get you a side branch status. It is impossible for you to become a descendant of the clan's family in the Liu family in Zhuojun County, but you can make up a vertical side branch and polish it. It shouldn't be a big deal."

"Yes, yes! The old servant must obey the lord's words... It's just the lord, what should the old slave do under the lord's hands in the future?"

Liu Jian said indifferently: "Still doing your old job, serving King Chen Liu and the Empress. I will be responsible for building a palace for King Chen Liu in Yecheng, and you will serve them as King Chen Liu's servant."

Zhang Rang... It should be said that it was Liu Jin. Hearing this, he seemed a little hesitant: "It's just King Chen Liu and Queen, who recognize this old slave..."

"King Chen Liu is less than five years old, and the queen is ten years old. Things that should be forgotten will naturally be forgotten after a long time. Even if they can't forget, I will find a way to help them forget. Just do what you should do."

Liu Jin said respectfully: "Yes, yes, this old slave will remember the Lord's orders."

Liu Jian rarely smiled at him: "Back then you covered the sky with one hand in Luoyang, and your reputation was second to none. It was because the emperor trusted you, and all your powers were given to you by the emperor, but now..."

Liu Jin hurriedly said: "I understand, I understand... the old slave has lost everything, even his name and identity. King Chen Liu is not the first emperor, he can't give the old slave power, and the old slave can't cling to King Chen Liu." Yes, the old slave's power and even his name and identity are all given by the lord, and in the current world, only the lord can give the old man everything he needs when he is alive."

Liu Jian laughed loudly: "Sure enough, you are a smart person. No wonder the late emperor was willing to call you grandpa. It is really unusual."

Liu Jin didn't dare to be presumptuous in front of Liu Jian, he whispered: "Dare to ask my lord, you let the old slave serve King Chen Liu and the Queen... King Chen Liu is nothing more than that, Queen Tang, shouldn't she be sent back to you?" Luo Yang? After all, that Highness is the first wife of the current emperor..."

"Do you think I didn't think of it?" Liu Jian said coldly: "The problem is that Dong Zhuo won't let me."

"Dong Zhuo won't let me?"

Liu Jin just thought about it for a while, and then suddenly realized that he understood Dong Zhuo's plan.
