I will be the master of Xuande

Chapter 612: The King Who Raised a Waste
Liu Jian is not a person who is used to procrastination. Waiting is not his style of doing things, but he really needs to plan more carefully. After all, entering Guanzhong is a big event and is related to his future.

Just as Xun Yu discussed with Gongsun Zan in Youzhou in the past, if this happens, hegemony will be achieved.

Precisely because this matter is related to the highest limit of Liu Jian's hegemony, Liu Jianxian cannot take action easily. He must be steady, accurate and ruthless to handle this matter properly.

So, he decided to go first to see Liu Xie, the king of Chenliu whom he had not seen for a long time.

It seems that I haven't seen Liu Xie for a long time, and according to his age, Liu Xie is now half an adult.

At the age of fourteen or fifteen, he was no longer the ignorant boy he had just saved.

But over the years, under Liu Jin's careful training, what has Liu Xie become like?

After all, this kid also has a criminal record in history. Whether in the hands of Dong Zhuo or under the leadership of Cao Cao, Liu Xie doesn't seem to be that honest.

Always want to stand up as a serf and sing.

Of course, things are different now than in history. Liu Jian trained him in a more absurd direction.

And a few years ago, this seemed to be quite effective.

But Liu Jian is a little unsure of what the specific situation is now.

Therefore, after having a preliminary understanding of the situation in Guanzhong with Xun Yu, Liu Jian went to see Liu Xie.

No matter what, Liu Xie was King Chenliu, and he had rescued him back then. He had to see how good Liu Xie was now.

Over the years he had been operating in Hebei, he had encountered too many things and had to deal with too many things, so he did not bother to personally control Liu Xie's growth.

Most matters were handed over to Liu Jin. Of course, Liu Jin was also under the supervision of his close relatives in General Liu Jian's mansion.

After all, this person's predecessor was Zhang Rang, so it's okay not to keep a close eye on him.

Everyone in the world knows what kind of person Zhang Rang is.

Liu Jian knew even more.

Use it, but if you trust him completely, it will definitely be impossible.

The last time they met was when Liu Jin helped take care of Liu Jian's son, Xiao Guanping, Xiao Zhangbao and others.

Time has passed, and when they met this time, Liu Jian felt that Zhang Rang had aged a lot.

This is normal, he has reached his age and it is time for him to grow old.

After meeting Liu Jian, Zhang Rang was very excited. He bowed his hands and shouted: General, General.

No matter what Zhang Rang had done before, he was an old man now, and in reality, no matter what Zhang Rang had done before, he had never harmed Liu Jian.

Even if he had the idea, he never succeeded.

Therefore, Liu Jian's feelings for Zhang Rang are relatively normal.

I neither annoyed him nor blamed him, but I didn't think he was good either.

"Liu Jin, I haven't seen you for a while. You are getting older."

Zhang Rang smacked his lips and sighed helplessly: "This person will look old easily once he is over sixty. Last year, the old slave didn't look like this, but look at this year, hey, there is no way, this is what everyone does It’s a personal fate that you can’t hide from even if you want to.”

Liu Jian sighed and said, "Life is unpredictable and life is short."

"Sometimes when I think about it carefully, after all the hard work and hustle and bustle, the final result is not just a piece of loess. So what's the point of all this?"

Zhang Rang said with a smile: "General, you are a little far-fetched when you think about these things. You are in the prime of your life. There is no time to think about these things. Look at me, I don't even think about this. I think I am the least I can live another 20 years.”

Liu Jian couldn't help laughing after hearing this.

"You are very powerful. Your ambition is far-reaching and far-reaching beyond my imagination."

Liu Jin smiled dryly when he heard this.

"Where is the king? Where is the king? How is the king doing recently?"

Liu Jian asked Liu Jin these three questions in succession.

Sure enough, Liu Jin was worthy of serving the emperor.

He immediately said seriously: "The king is well. The king is currently in the leopard room. The king has been just having fun every day for several years and nothing else. Don't worry, general."

Liu Jian smiled and nodded when he heard this. "As expected of the late Emperor's favorite, he is indeed astute and shows no signs of deterioration even at the age of 60."

Liu Jin smiled, feeling very embarrassed.

"The General's words are a bit embarrassing to me."

"Haha, how dare I shame you? You don't know the relationship between us? After all, you are still my senior...Okay, don't say any more and lead me to see the king."

Liu Jian had already spoken, so Liu Jin naturally did not dare to respond, so he immediately led Liu Jian away.

Behind the Chenliu Palace, there used to be an open space, close to Zhangshui, but now it is used by Liu Xie to build the Leopard House.

The leopard room is full of rare and exotic animals brought from all over the world, not to mention leopards, but also wild wolves and wild deer.Wild boars, even black bears and tigers.

Not to mention how much manpower it takes to capture these rare beasts, the daily feeding alone is a huge expense.

Regarding the matter of building such a luxurious leopard room for King Chenliu, the officials in Hebei actually had very strong opinions.

Official documents from officials from various places in Jizhou accusing King Chen Liu of his extravagance often landed on the desk of Liu Jian's shogunate, and were reported to him in real time by his team of secretaries, but Liu Jian ignored them all.

And not only officials from various places, but also Tian Feng, Ju Shou, Shen Pei and others often complained to Liu Jian about this matter. Especially Tian Feng, when he mentioned King Chen Liu, he gritted his teeth angrily, as if King Chen Liu was talking to him. It's like a mortal hatred for killing his father.

However, Liu Jian advocated frugality in other places, but he maintained a different attitude when it came to King Chen Liu.

No matter how poor you are, you can't help Liu Xie, and no matter how miserable you are, you can't help the king.

This is something Liu Jian is very convinced of.

Soon, the two people entered the leopard room.

Liu Jian has forgotten what a zoo looks like after so many years. When he suddenly entered the leopard room, he was really not used to it. He felt a little bit like a zoo in later generations.

Small animals are locked up everywhere, as well as big animals.

Liu Xie's taste is quite elegant.Not only some beasts are kept in cages for viewing, but also some small animals are used for fun and viewing. In short, the categories are relatively comprehensive.

Of course, species like elephants, rhinoceroses, and polar bears are definitely not found in this leopard room.

Liu Xie seemed to be having a lot of fun today.

He brought in two more adult wild leopards. Both leopards had been hungry for several days. Then Liu Xie locked them in the same cage and threw in a piece of food that was not enough to feed them. Eating venison.

Leopards are solitary animals. When they are hungry and there is not enough food, they will naturally start a life-and-death fight for survival, and their wild nature is fully reflected.

Liu Xie, who is already 14 years old, is standing not far away from the two leopards, cheering and cheering.

14-year-old Liu Xie still vaguely looks like he did a few years ago, but he has grown a lot taller over the years. He is almost as tall as Liu Jian's shoulders. He is obviously already a half-grown young man. .

However, although he has grown in height and age, he has not grown much.

Still as dandy as Liu Jian expected.

Of course, he trained Liu Xie in this direction.

"Bite, bite, bite!" Liu Xie waved his arms and shouted at the two leopards fighting desperately in the cage.

Liu Jian looked at Liu Xie dancing there, and he couldn't help but think of those people in later generations who were crazy about chasing stars, or people who threw beer bottles while watching TV shows.

It's so similar, that feeling, that obsession.

It's just that when later generations of star-chasers go crazy, they are usually star-chasers.

And now Liu Xie is chasing a leopard.

But no matter what, he still has his own responsibility for becoming like this.

I am about to go to Chang'an.

If you go to Chang'an, this ridiculous king will inevitably be involved.

I should have a good heart-to-heart talk with him today...

Before going to Chang'an, it's time for everyone to get to know each other.

"My lord, I pay my respects to the king."
