Cao Cao understands Yuan Shao, in terms of ability, Yuan Shao definitely has it, and Cao Cao thinks that Yuan Shao's ability is above him.

But it's a pity that in recent years, the original work is no longer as reckless as in the past, but there are a lot of concerns, although there are still many plans, but when things come to an end, they will show hesitation from time to time.

However, Cao Cao didn't think that Yuan Shao was at fault like this.

Just like Cao Cao, the ancestors of the family are eunuch giants, but since the moment he was born, he has carried the reputation of a eunuch, which makes Cao Cao very angry and anxious.

Over the years, he has followed Yuan Shao to do things, and he has secretly helped each other with party members, although he still carries the name of a eunuch on his back, but in the mouth of the Qingliu people of the Shi clan, it is not as good as in the past.

Therefore, Cao Cao can somewhat understand Yuan Shao's mood, and he also cherishes the current situation that has changed through his efforts.

Those who have overcome many difficulties like them to get to this point today naturally cherish their achievements much more than usual.

Therefore, for the sake of insurance, Yuan Shao asked Liu Jian not to make friends for the time being, which is also common sense.

He wanted to wait for three months, wait for this incident to pass, and then show favor to Liu Jian, so that he could not only include this son-in-law of the Zheng family, a meritorious minister in the north, but also not let Yuan Kui have any opinions about him.

After listening to Yuan Shao's thoughts, Xu You hurriedly nodded and said, "I had the heart to accept this person at the beginning, but it would be better to wait for three months." ”

Yuan Shao turned his head to look at Cao Cao and said, "What does Meng De mean?" ”

Cao Cao was silent for a while, and then he said in a low voice: "Dare to ask Ben Chu, during this period, if the highway and the scholar Ji are one step ahead of you, what should you do?" ”

Yuan Shao smiled when he heard this: "Impossible, my eldest brother is a son-in-law and the next sect master, he has been taught to be the Yuan family since he was a child, and he pretends to be noble on weekdays, how can he treat a child of a border county?" As for the road...... He doesn't have that head! ”

"But you need to know that he is not an ordinary disciple of the border county, but the son-in-law of the Zheng family, and there are thousands of Zheng Xue disciples standing behind him!"

When Yuan Shao heard this, he couldn't help but be silent.

He pondered for a while, and then said, "No, you need to know what I am worried about, my brother and the highway will also be worried, and they will even be heavier than I thought!" Don't worry, after all, my uncle is still here. ”

……

After Liu Jian arrived in Luoyang, he rented a mansion in the southern suburbs of Luoyang to settle down, after all, the mansion in Luoyang City was too expensive, and he didn't need to live in such a house for the time being.

The Lang officials of the Eastern Han Dynasty are divided into Lang, Zhonglang, Shilang, and Langzhong, of which the 600 stone Lang is used by many important ministers for transition, and will not let the filial piety who has just entered the office serve, for example, Tao Qian, who has just stepped down from the history of Youzhou Thorn, is still serving as a speaker in Beijing at the moment.

With Liu Jian's identity and background, it stands to reason that he is a langzhong, and then like other local officials, after a three-year term, if he passes the political examination and evaluation, he will be promoted to a waiter.

In addition, there is Yu Lin Lang in the palace, and like other Lang officials, they are all under the general management of Guangluxun, but Yu Lin Lang is mostly succeeded by the children of the Bian Gong family, and he enters Beijing with the martial arts of the clan to take office, and Liu Jianju filial piety is two ways.

Liu Jian has made great contributions, and this time the Son of Heaven also attaches great importance to him, with these two items, he has stepped up a ladder, not as the lowest Langzhong, but as an exception to serve as a waiter.

Whether it is Zhonglang, Shilang, Langzhong, they do not have a fixed position, the nine temples and the Beijing Central Bureau, where there is a need to send them to the top, just like the temporary workers of later generations, where there is dirty work and tiring work, there are their figures.

In addition, there is another job, which is the duty of every Lang official, and must be done regularly, that is, the rotating guard of the Imperial Palace, of course, the guard is generally dominated by Yulin Lang, but the Lang official of the three departments must also assist in the rotation on a regular basis.

Of course, it is not the turn of Lang officials to go to the north palace, which is the daily residence of the emperor and his concubines, so theoretically speaking, it is only the south palace that the lang officials guard.

An emperor's palace where the Son of Heaven is almost invisible.

After Liu Jian joined the company, because he was a newcomer, he was more diligent in scheduling than some old officials in terms of the time of the guard.

This is also understandable, there are many old officials in the capital who have been in office for ten or twenty years, and everyone has beaten the emperor for most of his life.

……

"Ah~~!"

Liu Jian let out a long yawn and was delighted.

If the emperor and his concubines come to the South Palace from the North Palace, it is naturally impossible for them to be directly interspersed on the streets of Luoyang City, and they must pass through the Royal Road, so this is also a key point.

The West Garden is next to the North Palace, Liu Hong stays in the West Garden all day long, and basically does not come to the South Palace all year round, let alone in the middle of the night, so when these Lang officials are in the guard, they don't have to worry about running into the emperor at all, which is also worry-free.

But tonight, it seems to be something special.

The emperor didn't run into it, but the eunuch did.

In the middle of the night, Lu Qiang, the regular attendant, suddenly led people from the imperial road to Nangong, saying that he was ordered to supervise the guards.

Seeing the Lang officials yawning and staggering one by one, Lu Qiang directly scolded them.

These Lang officials are all from local filial piety and honesty, and they are naturally disdainful of Lu Qiang, and they are very disdainful in their hearts.

But after all, they are the middle attendants, the position is there, and they still supervise the guards on behalf of the Son of Heaven, and these people on their own side are indeed crooked and twisted one by one, and they bumped into the guns of others, and if they have grievances, they can only swallow them in their stomachs.

If you have any swear words, you can only scold them in your stomach.

After reprimanding them, Lu Qiang was near the royal road, randomly instructed a Lang official to guide the way, and took him to Nangong to inspect the guards everywhere.

He, a casual person, was 'very unfortunate' and pointed at Liu Jian's head.

So, under the gloating expressions of several Lang officials next to him, Liu Jian led Lu Qiang to supervise Nangong Zhugang.

After a walk, they came to the side hall, Lu Qiang asked his little eunuch to wait outside, he himself wanted to go in to inspect the inside of the palace, and then asked Liu Jian to lead him in.

After entering the hall, he wandered around for a while, and suddenly heard Lu Qiang say to Liu Jian: "De Ran can know, what is the reason why the old man made a special trip today?" ”

Liu Jian stopped, turned his head to look at Lu Qiang, and said: "With the feelings and ambitions of serving the country and the people, I don't think it will be really idle, come to Nangong to check our sentry, right?" ”

"Naturally not, Liu Deran, although the old decay is a eunuch, but he is dedicated to the scholar, and perennial persuasion of His Majesty, reduce luxury, focus on people's livelihood, reduce fighting, and devote himself to farming, but His Majesty does not care, these years have become more and more alienated from the decay, and now Cao Jie and Wang Fu are dead, Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong and other generations regard the decay as a thorn in the flesh, and they can't get rid of it quickly...... Alas, the old man thinks that he is worthy of others all his life, but he can't imagine that after he is old, he will sit on pins and needles every day, and he can't sleep at night. ”

After that, Lu Qiang looked at Liu Jian and said: "The old man is a long man, call a little nephew in vain, the old man can see that you are extraordinary, different from others, I came here today, I just want to pick up what I didn't say last time, let's finish the words...... Little nephew Deran, can you help the old man? ”

Liu Jian sighed and said: "The heart of the Zhongchang servant can show the sun and the moon, but Your Majesty's temperament is not a habit developed in a year or two, but the result of years of accumulation.

"You whisper in Your Majesty's ear every day about things he doesn't want to hear, Your Majesty is naturally dissatisfied with you, for the sake of today's plan, only let loyal ministers like you and me, secretly cooperate, praise each other, when we all stand in a certain position, it is possible to advise Your Majesty to be good and pure, for the country and the people!"

Lu Qiang looked at him suspiciously: "Mutual ...... Mutual praise? ”

"Yes, praise each other, you and I are a eunuch, a scholar, one inside and one outside, we can't go to Your Majesty and claim to be loyal ministers, right? Only after I help you gain Your Majesty's trust, and you help me to explain my benefits in front of Your Majesty, and the internal and external harmony is reconciled, after a long time, Your Majesty trusts you and trusts me, so that we can persuade Your Majesty, understand? ”
