At this time, Luoyang City was already at sunset, Liu Jian stood under the eaves of the window, looking at the afterglow of the sunset, but the thoughts in his heart had already flown to Yanjing City.

Looking at it, he let out a long sigh before turning around and retracting his gaze in the last afterglow of the setting sun.

What an eventful time!

No one thought that in the 16th year of the founding of the Great Qian, this ordinary and ordinary year, it would be so changeable and so treacherous and intense.

The ancient dynasty of Daqian, in its political center capital Yanjing, sent away an emperor and ushered in an emperor who had just ascended the throne in the sadness of late autumn.

And this is the curtain that opened a series of treacherous events!

In just three months, the courtiers of Yanjing have experienced three major cases: the impeachment case of the Ministry of Industry, the imperial tomb case, and the case of the resale of the granary of the Great Dry Warehouse.

Interspersed with it, the military war between Daqian and the Mongols, the two sides fought iron and blood in Shanhaiguan, and finally shook hands and made peace; The political struggle within the royal family turned into a clumsy coup, but that night, Yanjing City did shed a lot of blood; Immediately after that, a series of things happened in Taicang, which were weird and deceitful, and there were many shady things hidden behind them......

Liu Jian wandered around the room, quietly thinking about his own affairs and sorting out his thoughts.

As a matter of fact, Liu Jian, as the prime minister of the Great Qian, the head of a hundred officials, the prime minister for 13 years, the official for decades, and the political arena of the Great Qian, he has already deeply felt that in the past 20 years, the great Qian, an ancient dynasty that established the country by force, has obviously declined sharply, the armament has been abolished, corruption in the officialdom is rampant, the local families and clans are getting bigger and bigger, and the rule of the court center over the local areas is becoming more and more lax, and the Daqian Dynasty at this time has reached the point where it has no choice but to change.

It's time to make a new choice, one step forward is a new life, one step back is a sinking, and at this moment of being a new life or sinking, every step is crucial, it depends on the mind and courage of the superior.

And Zheng Wen, who has just ascended the throne, in Liu Jian's eyes, is an emperor with great ideas and courage, he admires it very much, and he also hopes that Daqian can radiate new vitality in the hands of the new emperor, and Daqian can create a prosperous era of the Han and Tang Dynasties!

And this is also the reason why in his decades of political career, in the first round of political struggle with the new emperor, after accidentally losing, he retreated again and again, allowing the new emperor to use all kinds of means, vertical and horizontal, and let the new emperor take power, he only watched everything silently, and even secretly helped each other, otherwise he had a way to make the new emperor retreat, but he didn't after all.

Just because the emperor sitting on the throne shouted the voice of the great cadre as the king of the world, he has great ambitions, thousands of means, enough courage, and the possibility of being able to realize the 300-year ambition of the great cadre.

Liu Jian silently thought about what happened in the Luoyang Gold Mine, and felt a little incredible, this is thousands of lives, they were killed like this, these people are really good at it, this leader is really vicious, no wonder the first emperor did not let him take the throne, this is contempt for life, this lack of awe in this person's eyes!

He raised his head and glanced in the direction of Yanjing, this Yanjing's fight is about to start, it's just a pity, Jing missed a good show, and I hope Your Majesty can grow up quickly.

The sky is getting dark, this side of Luoyang is tightly covered by thick black clouds, and the air is filled with a dull atmosphere, which makes people depressed and uncomfortable, which is the prelude to heavy rain!

At this time, Liu Cheng suddenly pushed the door in, walked to Liu Jian's side softly, and said in a low voice, "Master, it's time." ”

When Liu Jian heard this, he breathed a long sigh of relief, nodded, and then said, "Well, let's go." ”

After a long time, a very ordinary carriage left Luoyang Station, and it was Liu Chong who was dressed in disguise.

……

In the sky of Luoyang, the black clouds were about to thicken, getting lower and lower, and in the blink of an eye, lightning and thunder roared, and heavy rain poured down.

Luoyang Mingyue Restaurant, the top floor, is brightly lit at this time, Liu Jian, who has been dressed in disguise, sits at the top, and there are two people on his left and right.

It was raining heavily, but inside it was silent.

After a long time, Liu Jian picked up the tea cup on the table and took a sip, glanced at everyone present, and then took the lead in speaking: "Since they have all arrived, let's talk about it, I'll talk about it first." ”

"The recent events of the court, I think everyone knows, I won't talk about them one by one, the first emperor collapsed, my heart is still very sad, I also have responsibility in this regard, but the big cadres are still there, we each have different responsibilities, you should not be decadent, you should work hard to make a place and work hard for the prosperity of the great cadres, only this once, not as an example, otherwise don't blame the prime minister for being ruthless." Liu Jian said heavily, and his eyes glared fiercely at the person sitting on his lower left.

When the four people heard this, their hearts were shocked, and they immediately cheered up, and looked at Liu Jian who was sitting at the top, but the man's face was a little flushed, but his face was still a little unconvinced.

And Liu Jian saw it, so he continued unhurriedly: "I said, old prince, don't think that the prime minister said something ugly, such a big thing happened in Luoyang City, you don't know if you don't believe it, but you don't care, what are you trying to do, don't forget why Emperor Shizong put you in Luoyang?" ”

"As the emperor's uncle, don't think that the emperor will be able to do whatever you want, people, don't lose your awe, besides, your majesty can't rub the sand in your eyes today, if you let him have a bad image of you, I'm afraid your future life will not be so good, old prince, think about it, Song Wangye is your lesson from the past!" Liu Jian said with a bang.

When the old prince heard this, his face was a little pale, and his body trembled with anger, but after all, he still didn't speak, only lowered his head and sulked alone.

It turns out that the old prince, named Zheng Qi, is sixty years old, is the younger brother of Emperor Sejong, the uncle of the first emperor, was named the king of Luoyang, and the fief is in Luoyang.

When the other three saw that Liu Jian had trained Zheng Qi, the king of Luoyang, like a dog, they were shocked in their hearts, and it seemed that they still had to put away their careful thoughts, and they all looked at each other without moving.

And Liu Jiancai continued: "This time I went to Jiangnan by His Majesty's edict to rectify Jiangnan officialdom, which is a complicated matter, and I hope you can cooperate with me. Liu Jian said calmly.

When the other three heard this, they immediately stood up and saluted Liu Jian before they all spoke: "No, obey the orders of the prime minister." "I don't care about the embarrassed old prince Zheng Qi next to him.

And these three people are named Zheng Zhi, Zheng Qian, and Zheng Thorn.

And Zheng Zhi also said suddenly: "What Xiang Ye said is extremely true, Jiangnan has indeed made trouble over the years, but in this way, Jiangnan is afraid that there will be a lot of forces rising, and this big cadre of northern and southern forces is afraid that it will cause turmoil!" ”

Liu Jian listened and nodded, obviously he also agreed with this statement, but still smiled and said, "So what? Three hundred years have passed, and it is time for this great cadre to change, as for the forces in the north, don't care about it, the general trend of the world, those who go along with it prosper, and those who go against it die, this is the principle of nature, we just do our own thing, and this is also the ideal of the first emperor for decades, if it can be realized in our hands, we are also worthy of the first emperor's grace. ”

As soon as the words fell, Zheng Qian said: "Then Xiangye, don't we care about the affairs of the capital?" After all, Your Majesty's ascension to the throne is short, and this time there is the hand of the dead eunuch, I am afraid that Your Majesty will suffer. He said with some hesitation.

Liu Jian listened and was silent for a long time, before he said a little coldly: "Your Majesty wants to be the strongest emperor, you must have enough experience, Your Majesty's heart is not cold enough, not iron enough, this time we will watch coldly, and it is good to make Your Majesty's heart harder." ”

The cruelty in Liu Jian's words made the old prince Zheng Qi on the side hear it, and his heart trembled, it seems that this Liu Jian has matured after all, but he is old, it seems that he should really reflect on himself, he has indeed been a little derelict in his duties over the years.

And Liu Jian picked up the tea on the table and took a sip, and then continued: "Presumably the matter of Taicang, you have also heard about it, this bad person came out to stir up the wind and rain again, it is indeed a little unreasonable, Luoyang is afraid that they are intervening in this matter, and they are also openly killing the court members in the capital, it is really unscrupulous, it is simply regarded as nothing, this time in addition to the capital, this bad person will be completely exterminated, the big dry is no longer needed, the captive dog is lost in duty and should die without a whole household, and Zheng will be responsible for you." Liu Jian said calmly, obviously the bad people organization is not in his eyes.

"No, please rest assured, I promise to complete the task, but Your Majesty doesn't know, is it really good for us to do this?" Zheng Thorn said with some doubts.

The other three listened to Zheng Ting's questioning, and looked at Liu Jian in unison, obviously this was also the doubt in their hearts.

When Liu Jian heard this, his face did not change, but he said in a heavy voice: "When it is time to know, Your Majesty will naturally know, you don't have to have any doubts, as the person in charge of this generation of internal guards, I have my own calculations in my heart, and now is not the time." And the four of you, as the heads of the four gates of this generation, just take care of your own affairs. Liu Jian said undoubtedly.

The majestic rain outside the building suddenly became smaller, Liu Jian listened to the light rain, and then said: "It's time for our internal guards to move, after decades of silence, it's time for the world to understand that this big cadre still has its own guardian!" ”

"No!" "No!" "No!" "No!"

The four of them answered the door with a brush.
