The next day, after Li Zhen had breakfast, he saw Zhang Liang coming in a hurry, Zhang Liang saw Li Zhen and said, "Third master, the things have been prepared, and there is also a greeting over there, let you go over in the afternoon." Li Zhen said: "I don't worry about you doing things." Zhang Liang squeaked and said, "Childe, I don't know if I should say something or not?" Li Zhen looked at him and said, "If you have anything to say, we have been together for a long time, and you still don't know me." "Yes, yes, Childe's reputation is not good, and I'm afraid that Childe's departure will have a bad impact on you, and Childe's hard-earned reputation will be ruined." Zhang Liang said worriedly.

Li Zhendao: "What did I think was the matter? I've been thinking about this for a long time, we're just going to buy officials, and we won't have any dealings with Zhang Rang in the future, don't worry. ”

Zhang Liang still persuaded: "Why doesn't the prince take the road of the general He Jin, besides, He Jin's sister is now the queen, and taking this road is much better than Zhang Rang's road, and the reputation is much better, and he can rely on the queen in the future." ”

Li Zhen sighed and said, "He Jin, alas. And he went on no further.

Li Zhen also thought about this problem before, as the saying goes: "There are people in the court who are good officials." Li Zhen wanted to throw himself into He Jin's door, but He Jin was too stupid, He Jin was a butcher before, and then relied on his sister to be favored by Emperor Han Ling, and entered the dynasty with foreign relatives, but after entering the court, he slowly fell to the family and was disgusted by Emperor Han Ling. After the death of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, He Jin was able to kill his henchmen several times, but he did not listen to others, missed the opportunity again and again, and was finally killed by the eunuchs at the palace gate.

Li Zhen wants to defect to He Jin, what will happen in the future, he doesn't know if he can help, after yesterday's poetry meeting, he can offend the family, and in the future, this general will be a person who is disgusted with the family, so this road will not work.

Looking at Zhang Rang again, although he is a eunuch, he is very smart and knows how to protect himself, so that the emperor can often say: "Zhang Changshou is my father." It can be seen that Zhang Rang's power is clear. Although Zhang Rang is arrogant and greedy, Li Zhen just looks at Zhang Rang's point, as long as it is something that can be done with money, it is not a big deal.

Zhang Liang saw that Li Zhen was thinking about things and was fascinated, so he didn't bother him and left.

In the afternoon, Li Zhen brought things to the mansion where Zhang Rang lived outside, Li Zhen entered the main hall and saw a pale-faced person sitting on a high position, Li Zhen saw this person: "Li Zhen pays a visit to Zhang Changshi." The person in the high position said without yin or yang: "Well, the person who came is Li Zhen, a genius from the north." Li Zhen said: "Don't dare to be." Zhang Rang said: "Your name has now spread to the palace, after yesterday's incident, the emperor also asked you, sit down!" Come and see the tea. ”

After serving tea, Zhang Rang said: "What are you looking for me, I secretly ran out of the palace now, and I will enter the palace later, if you have something, tell me quickly!" ”

Li Zhen stood up and said: "Zhen now has plenty of spare money and wants to buy an official, so I came to visit Zhang Changshi, hoping that Zhang Changshou can help with this." ”

Zhang Rang said unceremoniously: "Help, what good do I have?" ”

Li Zhen clapped his hands, and saw several big men coming in with boxes. Li Zhendao: "There are 8,000 gold and 30 jars of excellent wine in the immortals, and I hope that Zhang Chang will smile and accept it." ”

When Zhang Rang heard this, he laughed, got up and walked down, and said to Li Zhen's side: "Hey, this genius in the north is different from others!" You're going to buy the official work there! ”

Li Zhen had already thought about where he wanted to be an official, and said to Zhang Rang: "My requirements are not high, that is, to be a taishou in Liaoxi County." "Haha, other people go to prosperous places when they are officials, why do you just go to remote places, Liaoxi is a border, and there are often barbarian invasions, I think it's better to go to a better place." Zhang Rang said with concern to Li Zhen. "Thank you Zhang Changshou for your kindness, but Youzhou is my hometown, this brocade must be returned to my hometown, and I hope Zhang Changshou will bother more." Li Zhenwei explained for Zhang Rang. "Oh, I see!" After speaking, Zhang Rang walked back and forth a few times.

After waiting for a while, Zhang Rang looked at Li Zhen with a serious expression and said, "Li Zhen, this proverb is good!" There are people in the court who are good officials! Do you understand? ”

When Li Zhen heard this, he pretended to be confused and asked, "What does this mean?" I also hope that Zhang Changzhi will make it clear. "Alas! Say you! Such a smart person, how to be an official is confused. Zhang Rang looked at Li Zhen with hatred of iron but not steel.

Zhang Rang is up to accept Li Zhen as a disciple, Li Zhen can now be said to be a literati who can know poetry, but also offended the family, if you worship under him, bring into the court Emperor Bi like, let the world see that I Zhang Rang's subordinates can also accommodate Shilin's people, Li Zhen is the representative.

Zhang Rang patiently said: "You see that you are an official outside alone, and there is no one in this court to help, some people say bad things about you, and you don't know it, and you went down after a few days, which is really not a pity." "Ahh How good is that? Zhang Changshi, you must help me! Li Zhen's expression was anxious, but he was happy in his heart, this is the person who sent the pillow! What a man!

Zhang Rang said: "In this way, you come to my door, and I will take care of you in the future." ”

Li Zhen will promise him there, if he really worships Zhang Rangmen, this reputation will definitely stink in the future, who will defect to him, Li Zhen is embarrassed: "I am also willing to join Zhang Chang's door, alas!" It's just that my brothers are not happy, and they will definitely fall out with me when they go back. ”

Zhang Rang was overjoyed when he heard the first half of the sentence, and the second half of the sentence became anxious, and said: "You are an official, what is the matter with your brother?" ”

Li Zhen said: "Zhang Changshou doesn't know, half of the money I paid to buy officials was from my brothers, and I wouldn't have been able to buy officials without them." ”

Zhang Rang said to himself anxiously: "How is this good? ”

Li Zhen also pretended to have a sad face, and after sitting for a while, Li Zhen clapped his hands and shouted: "There is a way." ”

Zhang Rang was taken aback by Li Zhen at first, and then heard Li Zhen say that there was a way, so he hurriedly sat down next to Li Zhen and asked, "What is the way?" ”

Li Zhen saw that Zhang Rang was sitting next to him and smelled a smell of urine, endured the smell, and said: "It's better for us to form an alliance secretly, you are in the Lord, I am outside the Lord, we will help each other with anything, of course, I will take out money every year to honor you." ”

Zhang Rang also felt good when he heard it, and with Li Zhen's dark chess in the future, maybe he could help himself in the future. Nodding and saying, "Good way, it's decided." ”

The two clapped three times and reached an agreement to form an alliance.

Seeing that the agreement had been reached, Zhang Rang said enthusiastically to Li Zhen: "Come, sit down and talk." ”

Zhang let himself sit down and said: "I will handle this official position for you in a few days, if you have any difficulties in being an official outside, you must ask someone to tell me, and I will help you." ”

Li Zhen said: "Thank you Zhang Changshi, I'm going to trouble you then." "Hey, that's what I'm saying, are we allies, I don't help you, who helps you." After speaking, Zhang Rang looked embarrassed.

Li Zhen saw Zhang Rang's appearance and said, "Zhang Changshou has encountered something difficult, I will see if I can help if I say it?" ”

Zhang Rangwei was embarrassed: "Alas, this emperor is really difficult to serve!" This is not now like the best wine in the fairy, I can't leave, I broke my leg every day, and I can only buy a few jars to go back, alas! I have suffered for this thing. ”

Li Zhen scolded in his heart: 'Dead eunuch, just after forming an alliance, you came to blackmail, hmph, in a few years, you will return it with interest.' ”

Li Zhen said: "Hey, I thought it was a difficult thing, this thing is easy to do, I ask people to send thirty jars of wine every month, what do you think?" ”

Zhang Rang was overjoyed and said: "Okay, good, this has finally solved my heart!" You're a good ally to me. ”

Li Zhen said: "It's not too early this day. Zhang Changshou has to rush back to the palace, so I won't bother, the matter of buying an official makes you worry a lot. ”

Zhang Rang smiled: "You can wait for a few days with peace of mind, waiting for my good news!" "That's goodbye."
