Liu Hong took a group of eunuchs who he regarded as his parents and had dealt with the family lord and Qingliu celebrities for so many years, of course he knew that this matter was not over today.

What the scholars of the Han Dynasty lacked the most was that tenacity, the tenacity of not hitting the south wall.

As long as it is something they believe in, they must do it with you to the end, even if the opponent is the emperor, it doesn't matter, it is a big deal to lose a few lives, and they must do it!

This is the most helpless place for Liu Hong and his half-hearted eunuchs to always take the Qingliushi clan - not afraid of death.

What could be more threatening in this world than death? Death is the ultimate means of punishment for the emperor, but this trick has been broken by the scholars, even if the Son of Heaven is really the son of heaven, what can he do?

Even if this matter is not over, Liu Hong must try his best to protect Cao Jie's relatives.

But if you can't keep it in the end, what if the Manchu ministers and scholars just don't let go?

Liu Hong also knew in his heart, but if he couldn't do it, he could only give up.

Just like he gave up Wang Fu and Yang Qiu in the first place, he gave up their lives to appease those angry scholars.

Although Cao Jie is like a relative to him, as the emperor Liu Hong can't distinguish rewards and punishments, and for the evil forces of the Cao family in the people, Liu Hong can't punish them fairly and strictly from the perspective of an emperor - in this regard, Liu Hong is not a good emperor.

But when he wanted to protect these people, if he faced the overly fierce admonitions of the ministers and scholars, he couldn't stick to the end, and in the end, if he was too urgent, he could only give up the lives of these people - in this regard, Liu Hong was not a man with backbone.

In Liu Jian's eyes, Liu Hong is quite powerful and scheming, and has a bit of imperial power, but he lacks the leader's arbitrariness and blood.

……

Liu Hong was silent for a while, and then said slowly: "I know that the Cao family is now being targeted, and there is more than one person targeting them, and I also know that I may not be able to protect them in the end, but I want to try, at least, start with you first!" ”

Liu Jian smiled faintly and said, "Since Your Majesty has given the order to the minister, the minister should be the one who receives the order." ”

Regarding Liu Jian's attitude, Liu Hong is naturally satisfied.

"Xiaolian, you are also a scholar, you hate eunuchs?" Liu Hong suddenly asked him.

Liu Jian hesitated slightly, why did the emperor suddenly ask what was this for?

But in the next moment, he figured it out.

For Liu Hong, in addition to eunuchs, he can now trust his clan relatives.

In the patriarchal system, people who are related by patrilineal blood are the most trustworthy, and this iron law applies to everyone, including the emperor.

Liu Jian is also a clan relative, and his performance today is very good, through Cao Poshi's matter, Liu Hong can see that Liu Jian is not completely on the side of the scholars, at least unwilling to be driven by them, and he is also quite scheming, plus Liu Jian has made great contributions outside the Saiwai.

Liu Hong has the intention to subdue himself.

Throwing out the eunuch is another temptation for Liu Hong to himself.

"The minister does not hate the eunuchs, but the ministers only hate those who hate the world." Liu Jian replied after a moment of contemplation.

"Haha, you're lying to me, aren't you? Today, if you are a Qingliu clan, you are all enemies of the eunuchs, and you can't wait to eat their flesh and sleep their skin and bones, you are a disciple of Lu Qing, can you be the only exception? ”

Liu Jian smiled: "How others don't know, but the minister only knows that people like Cao Poshi can't hate to eat his flesh, but not because he is a eunuch, but because his Cao family is in the state and county, how many people have been ruined, lost their land and died in the wilderness, shouldn't such a person be hated?" ”

"It's like today, because of the minister's matter, the Manchu Dynasty minister came to meet the monarch and wanted to use the minister's matter to investigate Cao Poshi, but if his Cao family is clean, even if he asks the princes to investigate? In the final analysis, the Cao family can't stand up to investigation. ”

Liu Hong was a little silent when he heard this.

Yes, the people in the eunuch family are indeed too much to do things in the place, Liu Hong has always known.

This point is also the most reasonable place for Liu Hong to defend the eunuchs.

At this time, I suddenly heard Liu Jian slowly speak:

"The minister thinks that the eunuch is powerful, which is also a good thing for His Majesty."

"Oh? Why is it a good thing? ”

"After all, the power of eunuchs is an extension of Your Majesty's power, and they are also sharp blades in Your Majesty's hands, isn't it a good thing that Your Majesty has a sharp blade in your hands?"

At this moment, there were only two people in the field, Liu Hong and Liu Jian, and these words were like thunder on the ground, and they almost collapsed Liu Hong into the incense canal.

Liu Hong's legs and feet were weak and he almost fell, and Lu Qiang, who was in the distance, saw this and hurriedly rushed forward to support Liu Hong.

"Your Majesty, be careful!"

Liu Hong stood firm, his face turned pale with surprise, he waved his hand vigorously, and shouted to Lu Qiang: "Go down!" ”

Lu Qiang was startled and hurriedly dodged to a place that he couldn't hear in the distance.

Liu Hong stretched out his finger and pointed at Liu Jian, and said, "Xiaolian, do you know that if the words of the right talent are spread, it will ......."

Liu Jian saluted Liu Hong for a long time: "Your Majesty, there are Your Majesty and ministers here, and the minister feels that this word cannot be spread, even if His Majesty spreads it, no one will think that this is said by the minister." ”

Liu Hong narrowed his eyes and stared at Liu Jian carefully.

It wasn't until this moment that he realized that the filial piety in front of him seemed to be a little more powerful than he imagined.

However, only such a clan is worthy of being driven by the emperor, isn't it?

"You want to say this, come to me to get close?" Liu Hong looked at him with a smile.

Liu Jian shook his head and said: "The minister doesn't mean this, the minister is in the West Garden, he is a relative of the Han family, a distant relative of His Majesty, everything should be considered for the Liu family, but the minister is out of this door, the minister is a scholar, a protégé of Duke Lu, a son-in-law of Zheng Kangcheng, and one of the scholars." ”

Liu Hong licked his lips lightly, he looked at Liu Jian fixedly, and his heart was full of waves.

"Liu Jian, Liu Deran, I remember! Okay, that's good, you have guts, you have blood, I can see it...... It's a pity, you're Lu Qing's protégé...... Alas, if I have the same blood and backbone as you, I don't know if it will be better for the Han family. ”

Liu Jianjing said: "Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, the heaven of thousands of Li Shu in the world, you don't need a bloody body, the minister is a relative of the Han family, and she is Your Majesty's courtier. Your Majesty and your ministers, how can they generalize? ”

When Liu Hong heard this, he laughed.

At first, I heard the name Liu Jian, before and after sending troops to fight against Xianbei, it is said that this person discovered the abnormality of Tanshi Huai and divided Xianbei, and thought he was a general at that time.

But I never thought that this person was actually Lu Zhi's apprentice, and he seemed to have gained a lot of fame in Shilin.

This young clan is really a bit interesting.

Especially what he said in front of me today.

Well, it's thoughtful.

Although in Liu Hong's eyes, Liu Jian is still more of a scholar and a little weaker in the blood of his clan relatives, but some things can be changed slowly.

Liu Hong's talents are limited in all aspects, but he still has some tricks of scheming, and today's Liu Jian, in some respects, did leave a very good impression on him.

This son can be a blade!

"Okay, Liu Deran, what should be said, I have already finished telling you today, and you can rest assured about the affairs of the Cao family, I will guarantee you, and the Cao family will never dare to trouble you again!"

"Your Majesty, thank you."

"Alright, let's go down."

"The minister retired."

Not long after Liu Jian left, Liu Hong suddenly beckoned a little eunuch and said, "Go, send someone to the Zongzheng Office and give Liu Junlang an edict, asking him to quickly check this Liu Jian's inheritance and see what his relationship with me is!" ”

"Whoa!"

"Come back, didn't you finish...... Tell Liu Junlang, be sure to find out, do you know? ”

"Whoa!"
