Chapter Ninety-Six: Who's the Real Threat?

In the end, Liu Jian selected four people: Huang Zhong from Nanyang, Cheng Pu from Tuyin in Youbeiping, Xu Rong from Xuansu County in Liaodong, and Gao Shun from Wuyuan County.

As for the county Cheng Sun Jian, because he was an official appointed by the central government, he could not be recruited when there was no war.

Lu Bu had seen it before, and he belonged to the kind of person who still had certain flaws in his thoughts and behaviors, and was not suitable for use in Luoyang.

Zhang Liao, Xu Huang, Yu Ban did not find this kind of reason because of age or time of entry.

These people were screened by Liu Jian based on his memories of historical figures, but the ones he wanted to replace this time included a Sima, and there were more than 30 assistants at the same time, so just these four people were obviously not enough.

For the rest of the people, Liu Jian didn't want to continue to choose by himself, he hoped that Lu Zhi could help him select some reliable local military officials, and at the same time, he still met Shang Shutai's requirements.

In terms of selecting people, Lu Zhi served as Shangshu, and he was naturally much more powerful than Liu Jian in this aspect.

At first, Lu Zhi didn't figure out Liu Jian's attitude towards choosing an assistant, so he didn't dare to give him an idea, but after Liu Jian identified a few people, he asked Lu Zhi to help screen them, and according to Lu Zhi's screening criteria, this person was naturally screened very quickly.

It's just that Lu Zhi was a little panicked in his heart.

ran to the selection department for a long day, and he inexplicably chose these four!

I have to figure out a lot of the rest for him, what is this?

Isn't this an idle apprentice and a tired master?

Subsequently, the matter of replacing the subordinate officials of the Yueqi Battalion began to officially enter the process.

……

……

A few days later, Liu Jian's note was presented to Liu Hong through Shangshutai, which impeached Sima and 37 officials of his Yue cavalry camp for embezzling military rations and concealing military salaries.

Liu Hong saw the song, didn't say a word, and directly said four words to Shang Shu:

"Slow check, liquidation."

The reason why it is necessary to investigate slowly is because of the reason of greedy ink, as long as the amount is not too huge, it should not be pursued too much during Liu Hong's administration.

After all, the emperor of the current dynasty also had the style of "looking at the money and looking at the favor", if the emperor was only allowed to collect money, and the officials were not allowed to be greedy for ink, it would be absolutely harmful to the officialdom system of the Han Dynasty established by Liu Hong.

This will have a great impact on Liu Hong's current policy of selling official positions.

With the policy of selling officials and lords as the premise, the rule of officials must not be too clear, which is a complementary thing.

But this reason can't be put on the table, since Liu Jian has put forward evidence, then this matter can't be ignored, so these subordinate officials should be recalled or recalled, but the reason for the recall needs to be obscure.

It would be best if we could solve this problem through conversation and let these people get out of the way on their own.

The person who can know Liu Hong's will at the first time is a eunuch.

After Zhang Rang heard the news that Liu Hong was going to check the Yue Cavalry Battalion, he ran to see Liu Hong in tears.

"Your Majesty, then Liu Deran is not at ease, it is clear that he wants to eliminate the dissident forces in the Yue Cavalry camp, and Your Majesty must not help his momentum! Sima Chengfu in that camp has been working diligently for three years and is dedicated to the public, but now he is going to be replaced just because Liu Deran is playing a performance, so I am afraid of hurting the hearts of heroes, and the hearts of the people are not attached, Your Majesty! Please also ask Your Majesty to look into this matter! ”

"Alright, alright!"

Liu Hong waved his hand impatiently: "What hero?" It's not that he is greedy for the grain and straw in the camp, the evidence cited by Deran is not false, and the piles are well documented, and what kind of contribution can a Sima make for the Han Dynasty? What kind of hero? ”

Zhang Rang hurriedly said: "It's just that Liu Deran has only been a captain of the Yue Cavalry for a few days, and he actually wants to eliminate dissidents, and this wind can't be long......"

"What excludes dissidents, this matter Deran has discussed with me, and it is my favor! Father, I have made up my mind, so don't interfere too much! ”

"But Your Majesty ......"

"Father went back to that Chengfu and said, let him get acquainted, go to the ministry to report on his work, and make room for it."

When Zhang Rang heard this, he was shocked.

"But Liu Deran ......"

"What Liu Deran, called Liu Yueqi!"

Zhang Rang saw that Liu Hong's face was angry, so he cried: "Your Majesty only believes in Liu Yueqi, not in the old slave?"

Liu Hong saw Zhang Rang crying, and he felt a little unbearable.

He sighed and said: "Father, it's not that I said you, when it comes to your heart, you are indeed a little inferior to the emperor's brother, can Father know who was the first person to advise me to you and other marquises?"

"This ...... The old slave didn't know. ”

"It's the emperor's brother, he is waiting for Qing and the others in front of me, but my father insists on saying that he is trespassing, father, if you are me, what should you think in your heart, and how should you look at this matter?"

When Zhang Rang heard this, he immediately felt ashamed.

But at the same time, he resented Liu Jian even more in his heart.

A vertical man, how did he calculate me to such an extent? Can you get a head start on everything?

And recommend me to Your Majesty?

Could there be any kindness? It's flattery.

"Your Majesty, it's the old slave who is wrong, the old slave is narrow-minded and misunderstood Liu Yueqi."

"Alas, Father, it's good that you know, there are some things that I have already decided, so I will definitely not change them, Father should not interfere too much, go back and talk to that Cheng Fu, let him step down from the post of Sima himself, so that everyone will look better on their faces, don't make it difficult for me to do."

"The old slave commands."

"Father, you need to know that Liu Deran, like my father, is my loyal minister. My father is like my own father, and De Ran is my brother, I hope that you and the two will not fight each other, but must be consistent with each other. ”

"No."

"Alright, let's go down, I'm tired."

Zhang Rang looked up at Liu Hong, feeling a little sad in his heart.

For the first time in his life, he felt so frustrated in front of the emperor.

A mere Liu Jian, how long has he been in Beijing, in His Majesty's heart, he has far surpassed himself.

Zhang Rang couldn't accept this fact in his heart.

……

Out of the West Garden, Zhang Rang and Lu Qiang happened to be face-to-face.

The two nodded to each other, as if they had said hello.

Zhang Rang squinted at Lu Qiang walking over, and said secretly in his heart: Not only Liu Jian, but also this Lu Qiang.

How is it that for more than a year, anyone can be favored in front of His Majesty?

Originally, Zhang Rang was still jealous of Lu Qiang in his heart, but after this incident, Liu Jian's danger in his heart was far greater than that of Lu Qiang.

Because of one thing Lu Qiang did recently, he died by himself.

I heard that he actually went to visit the queen recently?

Hehe, the Son of Heaven now hates Queen He, and Lu Qiang's move is tantamount to cutting off his future.

Very foolish!

Or Liu Jian's threat is greater.

……

When he was young, Lu Qiang came to Liu Hong's side.

"Old slave, see Your Majesty!"

When Liu Hong saw Lu Qiang, the dark expression on his face disappeared, revealing a happy look.

In the emperor's heart, Lu Qiang is already an increasingly important person.

Liu Hong even felt that he couldn't do without Lu Qiang.

He can't see Zhang Rang now, but he can't see Lu Qiang.

"Lu Qing, are you on duty today?"

"Back to Your Majesty, today is the old slave on duty."

"Lu Qing has prepared new gadgets for me recently?"

"That's natural, the old slave has prepared a few more ideas for Your Majesty to relieve boredom in his spare time, and keep them for His Majesty's pleasure."

"Hahaha! Good, very good! ”

Liu Hong nodded with satisfaction: "Lu Qing is really a loyal minister, to be honest, Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong have been a little disappointed recently, only Lu Qing is my intimate person...... I sometimes taste the products carefully, and I feel that there are hundreds of thousands of people in Luoyang, and no one is more loyal than Lu Qingye. ”

When Lu Qiang heard this, he couldn't help but be startled, and he hurriedly bowed: "Your Majesty is really ashamed of the old slave for this, and the old slave doesn't dare to accept such praise from Your Majesty." ”

Liu Hong waved his hand casually and motioned for Lu Qiang to stand up: "Lu Qing, I heard that you went to see the queen recently?" ”

When Lu Qiang heard Liu Hong ask him about this, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

He said in a low voice: "The old slave did go to the queen's, but the old slave did not go to visit the queen, but to see His Majesty's prince...... Your Majesty, the prince is His Majesty's closest flesh and blood, the blood of the Heavenly Family, and all the things in the harem have nothing to do with the prince in the end. ”

When Liu Hong heard this, he didn't speak for a long time.

After a long time, I heard Liu Hong say one: "Okay!" ”

Although it was only a short word, Lu Qiang's heart still fell.

Liu Jian's view of things is really accurate, and he is an extraordinary person.

"Lu Qing, I have something to ask Qing."

"I wonder what His Majesty asked?"

"What does Lu Qing think, what does Captain Yue Qi think about?"
