After making up his mind to unite, Liu Jian saluted Lu Qiang again, and said: "Liu Jian is a scholar, but he also has an identity, that is, the Han family, although I have a remote branch, but after all, I still have the Han family in my heart. ”

When Lu Qiang heard this, he was a little stunned on the spot.

He really didn't expect that Liu Jian actually wanted to befriend him in his words.

Logically speaking, this is simply impossible.

His own identity and his identity are destined to be inevitably opposed.

When I was young, I saw Lu Qiang helplessly and said with a wry smile: "Filial piety is dedicated to the country, high-minded, worthy of being a protégé of Shangshu and the son-in-law of Kangcheng, so that the old man admires, but the identity of the old man is sensitive and special, after all, it is not good to interact with filial piety too much, I am afraid that the future of filial piety will be delayed." ”

"You don't have to be polite, just call me by the word Deran."

Lu Qiang sighed lightly and smiled kindly: "Deran Xiaoyou, if you don't dislike it, can you tell me where you live?" In the future, the old decay will find an opportunity to go to bother. ”

Liu Jian smiled in return: "Naturally." ”

Subsequently, he informed Lu Qiang of his current residence, and then took his leave.

Lu Qiang looked at Liu Jian's figure getting farther and farther, and couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion in his heart.

Over the years, he has been unflattering on three sides, but now he has met such a scholar who is willing to secretly befriend him, and the excitement and relief in his heart are naturally indescribable.

Of course, with Lu Qiang's current status, ordinary scholars who want to make friends with him and want to support the government with him will also be disdainful.

Nor are all scholars worthy of his cooperation.

And Liu Jian, Lu Zhi's protégé, Zheng Xue's successor, and the famous Luoyang, is not very high.

For Lu Qiang, if such a person has the same ambition and goal, if he can unite and echo each other, it is indeed the best.

……

……

In the city of Luoyang, there is a family on Zhuque Street, which occupies a moderate area, the courtyard is not wide, the repair is simple, although it is not luxurious, but it gives people a very strong sense of heaviness.

This mansion is not the most luxurious in Luoyang, but in terms of fame, it is definitely one of the best.

Ordinary peddlers and pawns would never approach that mansion easily.

Not for anything else, just because of this mansion, its surname is Yuan.

……

now

In the main hall of Yuan's mansion, Yuan Kui sat in the first place, brushing his beard with an indifferent expression.

On either side below him, there were young people, all of whom were outstanding people of his sons and nephews.

Yuan Kui's gaze swept back and forth at the Yuan family people in the hall, and his gaze stayed on almost everyone's face.

Among these outstanding sons and nephews, there are Yuan Ji, Yuan Shu, Yuan Shao, Yuan De (Yida), Yuan Dong (Renda), Yuan Ying (Manlai) Yuan Zhong, Yuan Yi, Yuan Yin, Yuan Xu and so on.

Among them, Yuan De (Yida), Yuan Dong (Renda), and Yuan Ying (Manlai) are the sons of Yuan Kui and his wife Ma Lun.

(Note: Yuan Kui's three sons are mentioned in "Cai Yongji: Yuan Manlai Tablet and Situ Yuan Duchess Ma's Tablet", which are Yuan Yida, Yuan Renda, and Yuan Manlai, among which Yuan Manlai should have died early seven years ago in Guanghe.) ）

Yuan Tang of the Yuan family in Runan, there were twelve sons in the past, of which Yuan Ping was the eldest son, but he was not a descendant, and the descendants were Yuan Cheng, Yuan Feng, and Yuan Kui, and among the three, Yuan Feng and Yuan Kui were the ones who held the bull's ear.

Later, Yuan Cheng and Yuan Feng died, and the children and nephews of the next generation were all young, and ancient China paid attention to a 'brother to the end of the brother', because the two eldest brothers died, Yuan Kui became the suzerain and speaker of the Yuan clan in Runan, and the family resources of the thousands of protégés of the Yuan family in the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty were all commanded and mobilized by him.

In April of this year, taking advantage of the emperor's announcement of the incident of killing the civil officials, the Yuan family began to operate behind the scenes, using the means of appealing for grievances, and played a counter-killing for the emperor.

The gate valve gained power, and the emperor took the money.

The emperor's teacher Zhang Ji and his confidant Xu Yu were honorably laid off because of this incident, and Yuan Kui took the opportunity of this change of three dukes to take office again and moved from Taichang to Situ.

It was originally a happy event, but after Yuan Kui became Situ, he was a little anxious.

He is nearly sixty years old, and this time he will be the third prince again, which may be the last time in his life.

I'm afraid that in a few years, his life will come to an end.

However, no one dies, and death is nothing to fear for Yuan Kui.

But life and death are small, but the authority of the Runan Yuan clan is big!

After his death, who will inherit the position of suzerain and speaker? Commanding the Yuan family, thousands of protégés all over the world?

There is no doubt that Yuan Kui naturally wanted to choose one of his three sisters-in-law, Yuan Dong, Yuan De, and Yuan Ying.

But the problem is that Yuan Kui himself is the youngest of the brothers, and he and Ma Rong's daughter Ma Lun didn't have a child very smoothly at the beginning, and after taking a lot of medicine and finding a lot of doctors, Ma Lun Xu was cured of the hidden disease at an old age and gave birth to three sons-in-law for Yuan Kui.

Therefore, Yuan Kui's three sons are relatively young and immature compared to their peers, especially Yuan Ying and Yuan Manlai, who were born in their forties, and are now only fifteen years old, and are frail and sickly.

On the other hand, although his brother Yuan Feng died, the sons he left behind have all grown up and are in the prime of life, and what is even more disturbing is that they are more refined than the other, and each is more capable than the other.

Yuan Ji inherited the title of Marquis An Guoting, the eldest son of Yuan Feng, who was gentle and elegant, and had the demeanor of an elder.

There is also a sister-in-law, Yuan Shu, who is famous for his chivalrous spirit, and is also a good friend, and has great prestige among the nephews of the Yuan family.

The other is Yuan Shao, who was born as a concubine, who was succeeded to Yuan Cheng's house in the past...... In terms of foundation, he is the shallower, but in terms of character and ability, Yuan Kui thinks that Yuan Shao is the most powerful.

Yuan Kui's gaze swirled back and forth between Yuan Ji, Yuan Shu, and Yuan Shao, and he fell into deep contemplation for a while.

Over the years, for the sake of the Yuan family's great cause, he has indeed tried his best to cultivate Yuan Feng's three children, but cultivation is cultivation, and Yuan Kui has always understood a truth in his heart.

These three nephews are the enemies of Yuan Kui's three relatives.

"Uncle! The nephew has not finished his confession. ”

A voice brought Yuan Kui back to reality from his reverie.

He turned his head to see that it was his nephew Yuan Xu who was calling him, this person was also Yuan Feng's parent, but he was not a descendant like Yuan Shao, but he was much luckier than Yuan Shao, although his mother was a concubine, she was born in a big family, so Yuan Xu also gained a foothold under Yuan Feng's door.

"Oh, where's the right thing?" Yuan Kui straightened his colors and looked at Yuan Xu.

"Uncle, filial piety and honesty from all over the country have gathered in Beijing, and when the roster resume is applied today, the three Zhonglang generals will send someone to the uncle's mansion and wait for the uncle to check it."

Yuan Kui waved his hand and said, "Don't send it here, there are many people, and the old man is also a third-public official. ”

"And where should I send it?" Yuan Xu was a little puzzled, and then he looked at Yuan Ji, and said with some understanding: "Then send it to Brother Shiji's mansion, and let my brother help my uncle choose?" ”

Shiji is Yuan Ji's table character.

When Yuan Ji heard this, his spirit was suddenly shocked, he straightened up, and looked at Yuan Kui with expectation.

The Yuan family wants to be filial and honest, so they naturally want to choose excellent people and include them under the door, and Yuan Ji thinks that he is the successor of the Yuan family in the next generation, and this kind of thing is naturally the most suitable for him to do.

Yuan Kui's eyes fell on Yuan Ji's body, and after a little planning, he said:

"Shi Ji has an important position, a lot of hard work, the affairs of the court and the central government are not enough for him to be busy, how can some small things still involve his energy? Highway, primordial! ”

When Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu heard this, they straightened up at the same time and said, "Uncle! ”

"You two work hard, you have stayed up late these days, half of one person, look at the resume of filial piety in various places this year, if there is anything that can be collected for your own use, and report it to me together!"

"Whoa!"

Yuan Ji's face was slightly cloudy, but in the end, he didn't say anything, so he could only sit down indifferently.

He secretly looked at Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu...... found that Yuan Shu was also peeking at himself, and when he saw Yuan Ji looking at him, Yuan Shu hurriedly turned his head to look away.

Yuan Shao didn't look at anyone, but touched his beard and sat there high-spirited, quite standing out from the crowd.

It is true that in terms of the identity of their generation, Yuan Shao is far inferior to Yuan Ji, nor is he as good as Yuan Shu, but Yuan Ji knows that Yuan Shao has not been able to communicate with guests on the surface in recent years, but in fact, he has secretly befriended party members and chivalrous people, such as Zhang Miao, He Hao, Xu You and others have secretly formed an alliance against eunuchs, they are all dangerous things, and their reputation among scholars is increasing, Yuan Shao is even more famous in the world, respected at home, and many party members have secretly begun to advertise Yuan Shao as a 'model in the world'.

Yuan Kui had known about this for a long time, but he only reprimanded Yuan Shao on the surface, but in fact he did not interfere, but sat back and watched it.

Originally, Yuan Ji didn't think that this matter would have any impact on his sister-in-law, after all, in this year, although the four words 'model of the world' are good words in the mouths of scholars, but on the side of the court, people who can be called models of the world are not used by the court, and whoever wears the hat of a model of the world may be in danger of his head.

Chen Fan and Li Ying, these are both people who have been models in the world, which one has a good end?

Therefore, Yuan Shao is willing to toss around, Yuan Ji doesn't care, with him, anyway, after he becomes the sect master in the future, he will be his own junior brother.

However, as the emperor began to test the waters and exonerate several marginal party members, including Zheng Xuan, Yuan Ji began to sit still a little.

This is a bad sign!

Although the party has not been completely released, it is obvious that the emperor has the intention of dissolving, and once the party is lifted, those party members will be able to enter the office, so Yuan Shao, who is advertised by the party as a 'model in the world', will have a lot of help out of thin air, and to what extent should his reputation develop?

Yuan Ji felt that Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu should not threaten him to inherit the position of the Yuan clan's sect leader in the future...... But, what if?

The sooner a person is to get his hands on something, the more he is afraid of losing, so it is inevitable that Yuan Ji will be blind at this moment, suffering from gains and losses.

And the expressions of Yuan Ji, Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao at this moment all fell in Yuan Kui's eyes.

He turned his head to look at his three sons, and said secretly in his heart: If it is a head-to-head battle, his three sons will definitely not be the opponents of Yuan Ji, Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shu...... They're still too young to grow up!

So, you have to buy time and timing for your son.

Thinking of this, Yuan Kui looked at the three brothers Yuan Ji, Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shu again......

Yuan Ji's weight in the clan is still a little too big, and he has to add a lot of heat to let Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao catch up.

At present, the situation is chaotic, and he can't push his sons to the table, taking advantage of the fact that the old man is still alive, first take these three nephews to go to Artemisia to open up the way forward for the Yuan family, but they must not let the three of them twist into a rope, and when the time comes, they will help their sons-in-law to take the position...... Alas, the old man, the sect master of the Yuan family, is really difficult and tiring.
