Chapter 693: Righteous Son

King Hongnong will become Yuan Shao's target, and after Xun Yu said this, he immediately received the support of most of the people present.

What if Yuan Shao can raise troops in the east, west, and southeast to block Liu Jian now?

Without the support of the orthodoxy of the imperial court, he is nothing more than a thief who is crusading against thieves and actually harboring evil intentions, and he has no slogan that can stand.

It may be fine in a short period of time, but after a long time, there will inevitably be big problems.

In this era, everything is justified.

The Yuan family, the third prince of Runan IV, is no exception, and Yuan Shao has now lost his reputation as a model in the world.

Although he still has the support of many powerful families, he is not tenable in name at all.

And Hongnong Wang Wang is indeed the key to a breakthrough for him.

Therefore, it is understandable that Liu Jian wants to borrow King Hongnong to defeat Yuan Shao's morale.

"Wenhe."

As soon as Jia Xu heard Liu Jian call him, he knew that he probably wanted to say something.

But even so, he still asked Liu Jian very respectfully: "What does the prime minister command?" ”

Liu Jian said with a smile:

"Send your capable people to King Hongnong's fiefdom, take a good look at the situation of King Hongnong, and also find out who has befriended King Hongnong recently, remember not to startle the snake, don't let King Hongnong find out, even if he does something out of the ordinary, it doesn't matter, just take the information back at any time and let it be."

Jia Xu said very calmly: "Don't worry, the prime minister will not let go of any traces, and all the information will be able to reach the prime minister's table as soon as possible." ”

Since Jia Xu and Guo Yuan were in charge of the school office, the overall efficiency of the school office has been greatly improved.

Liu Jian was very satisfied with Jia Xu's work ability.

Jia Xu and Guo Yuan's abilities in this regard are indeed not comparable to ordinary people.

Then Liu Jian let everyone perform their duties, he was loose on the outside and tight on the inside, and kept a close eye on the actions of Yuan Shao and the major forces, and at the same time, the development of Guanzhong and Yanzhou did not stop.

Now Liu Jian is in charge of a country, and the military and political affairs of a country are in his hands, and this is a troubled time, although his rule is relatively peaceful in the Han Dynasty. But the more peaceful it is, the more undercurrents there are actually hidden.

The higher Liu Jian's position, the more things he can see, and the heavier his sense of responsibility.

Now, he can be described as having a lot of opportunities, and he couldn't be more busy.

But no matter how busy Liu Jian is, he will personally participate in his son's studies and some of the teaching examinations.

Now most of Liu Jian's sons are still young, but his eldest son Liu Ji has grown up, and he is also his future heir.

Liu Ji's growth is Liu Jian's close attention, and in order not to let him be limited by the inherent ideas of this era, Liu Jian has to have a long talk about Liu Ji every once in a while, instilling some of his ideas into Liu Ji, opening up his thinking pattern, and at the same time, it can also open his horizons, so that he is not bound by this era.

And Liu Ji is indeed deeply inherited by Liu Jian in this regard, especially he is unusually good with the sons of Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Liu Bei and others, and they have been friends since childhood.

Moreover, Liu Ji is calm, deep, and quick-thinking, and he has the ability to help these boys solve the difficulties in life, and at the same time, Liu Jian found that Liu Ji's ambitions are also relatively ambitious.

Of course, the reason why Liu Ji is ambitious is also related to Liu Jian's education and Liu Ji's background.

The most important thing is also because Liu Ji has a good mother Zheng Ci,

I have to say that Zheng Ci is not only a good wife, but also a very good mother.

He never deliberately restricted Liu Ji's development, and at the same time did not use the theories of Zheng Xue, which she was familiar with, to trap Liu Ji's thoughts.

Zheng Ci was also the same as Liu Jian, trying his best to guide Liu Ji on the right path, but he did not trap his thinking.

What Zheng Ci values most is to increase Liu Ji's knowledge as much as possible.

In addition to Liu Ji, there is another person who teaches Zheng Ci and Liu Jian very attentively.

This person is Yuan Chong, the son of Liu Jian's good brother in Luoyang.

Yuan Pet is older than Liu Ji, and after many years, these two children have grown into handsome young people.

If there is one person in this world that Liu Jian thinks he is sorry for, then there is only Yuan Ji alone.

But Yuan Ji is dead, Liu Jian can't do anything to make up for Yuan Ji himself, he can only teach Yuan Pet well, hoping that Yuan Pet can be promising, so that Yuan Ji's spirit in the sky can be comforted.

It's just that Liu Jian's family, including Zheng Ci, was a little hesitant about Yuan Chong's past, and they didn't know whether they should tell Yuan Chong the truth.

In the end, Liu Jian decided to tell Yuan Pet the truth about everything that happened in Luoyang back then.

The child has grown up, there is no impermeable wall in this world, and he will eventually know everything.

Back then, what happened between Yuan Ji, Dong Zhuo and the Yuan clan in Runan, Liu Jian would inform Yuan Chong.

And it was the original to inform Yuan Pet.

In the past, when Yuan Pet was in Hebei, after knowing his life experience, he cried bitterly.

is the so-called enmity of parents, not the same day, the young man Yuan Pet said that he must fight the enemy when he grows up...... This enemy includes Dong Zhuo, Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shu...... There are also those people who were stationed abroad by the Yuan family in the local area back then.

Liu Jian did not deceive Yuan Pet, he also told Yuan Pet that when he was in Luoyang, he intersected with Yuan Ji, a large part of it was for his own development and future, and his relationship with Yuan Ji was mixed with political interests.

Including him later taking a huge risk to bring Yuan Pet out of Luoyang, on the one hand, in order to repay Yuan Ji for his kindness back then.

At the same time, on the other hand, it was also to fight his political enemies, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and others.

At this point, Liu Jian has never deceived Yuan Chong.

He told Yuan Pet that he had feelings for Yuan Pet's righteous son, but at the same time, he also used this righteous son, and as for how to choose, it was all up to Yuan Pet to decide.

If Yuan Pet grows up in the future and wants to leave Hebei and return to the Yuan clan in Runan, Liu Jian will definitely not stop him.

Of course, if Yuan Pet grows up, he needs Liu Jian's help to snatch the position of the head of the Yuan family in Runan, and Liu Jian will spare no effort to help him.

Of course, the premise is that what Yuan Chong does will not conflict with Liu Jian's ambitions.

Liu Jian was very good to Yuan Chong, and he also taught this child carefully and gave him family-like care.

But Liu Jian also infiltrated the ambition in his heart towards Yuan Pet all the time.

He needs to make this righteous son understand that Liu Deran's ambition is more important than his hatred.

Regarding his father-in-law's words and his way of acting, Yuan Chong actually didn't approve of it in his heart at first, he felt that his father-in-law was too cruel to him.

However, as he grew older, with Liu Jian's care and education for Yuan Chong, Yuan Chong gradually began to understand Liu Jian more.

He also knew Liu Jian's ambition.

And Yuan Pet also understood Liu Jian's intentions for himself, if Liu Jian wanted to use him thoroughly from the heart, with Liu Jian's strength, there was no need to tell so many truths to Yuan Pet, he could raise Yuan Pet in Hebei like Liu Xie, close his information channels, and train Yuan Pet into a tool man to deal with the Yuan clan in Runan.

But he didn't.

Previously, Yuan Pet began to travel in Hebei because he had reached a certain age, and he chose to travel in the border areas of Youzhou to observe the local people's livelihood and the situation with foreign people.

Over the years, he has seen a lot in Youzhou and heard a lot in the local area.

In Youzhou, before Liu Jian was in charge of Hebei. Fighting with Xianbei or Wuhuan people all year round, the life of the people can be said to be very hard.

At that time, let alone normal life, the people on the border of Youzhou were not careful, and they were easily looted to the grassland by foreigners.

That kind of life is really worse than death.

But now everything has changed.

The main combat power of the Wuhuan people and the Xianbei people were wiped out by Liu Jian.

They now have to rely on the graphite of the Han people, the white porcelain of the Han people, and the food of the Han people to maintain their lives.

Instead of continuing to nomadize the steppes, they organized farms and farms.

They received Han clothes and culture here, read Han Chinese books, and lived a relatively stable life.

Although there will be bloodshed from time to time, it is only a matter of local law and order, and there is no longer a war between the foreign tribes of the steppe and the Han people at every turn, as in the past.

These foreigners could even become the conscripts of the Han Dynasty, responsible for the construction of large-scale infrastructure in the interior of Hebei, adding bricks and tiles to the construction of the Han interior.

Now Hebei, including Youzhou, Bingzhou and other places, the people's life happiness index can be said to be the highest in the whole Han Dynasty.

The more he saw this kind of thing, the more shocked Yuan Chong's heart became.

Although his surname is Yuan, he basically can't remember anything about the Yuan family.

He grew up under the tutelage of Liu Jian and Zheng Ci.

His outlook on life and values were greatly influenced by Liu Jian and Zheng Ci.

In Yuan Chong's body, you can't find the kind of arrogance and innate self-esteem of the Yuan family in the fourth year of Runan in the past.

Yuan Pet has been cared for by Zheng Ci, and he can understand empathy more than others.

He can understand that the life of ordinary Li Shu is not easy, and he can also appreciate how terrifying the endless destruction of the people has been caused by the war over the years.

And slowly through travel, Yuan Pet is more able to understand what Liu Jian said to him when he was a child, and he is also more able to understand the ambition in Liu Jian's chest now.

He began to understand Liu Jian's hard work.

His stepfather was never for himself, he was really working hard for the Han Dynasty.

It is precisely because of these years of travel experience and the ups and downs of his life that the hatred in Yuan Pet's heart has become dull, and his ideals have gradually replaced the ignorant hatred when he was young.

After he understood Liu Jian's ambition, he began to think again, what should his ambition be?

Liu Jian knows his life goal very clearly, but what about him? What should be his life goal?

……

At this time, it also happened to be the middle and autumn of the second year of Jian'an.

Liu Jian had already established himself in Chang'an, and he sent someone to greet Yuan Chong, who had traveled in the border county, and asked him to come to Chang'an as well.

The journey from Youzhou to Chang'an was not a short one, and it took Yuan Pet two months to arrive in Chang'an.

In the past two months, he has carefully inspected the local people in the places he passed.

After two months of investigation, Yuan Pet was more sure of how good the living conditions of the people of Youzhou are now.

Their happiness is much happier than that of the people of Guanzhong and Yanzhou.

Father, he's great!

With such a mood, Yuan Pet came to Chang'an and met Liu Jian.

Although they are not father and son, emotionally, after so many years, the two of them have become like father and son.

The incomprehension of Liu Jian when he was a teenager has now turned into deep gratitude.

After meeting Liu Jian, Yuan Chong went to the Prime Minister's Mansion to meet his stepmother Zheng Ci and his younger siblings.

That night, the family held a happy banquet in the house to welcome Yuan Pet, who had traveled for many years, home.

Liu Jian drank a lot of wine today.

After not seeing his righteous son for three years, Liu Jian was rarely as happy as he is today.

At the banquet, Liu Jian announced one thing to everyone, that is, the imperial examination in the coming year, and he wanted his sons to participate in it.

This also includes Yuan Pet.

He told his children that it was time to serve the country, but since it was to serve the country, it was necessary to follow the regular path of the current imperial court...... That is, to participate in the imperial examination, and to obtain an official position by virtue of their ability.

Liu Ji was very excited, he always hoped to be able to enter the government as soon as possible, devote himself to the imperial court, fight side by side with his father, and serve the country.

Yuan Pet is also very happy, he has already clarified his goal and knows what he should do.

And in order to fulfill their ideals, entering the official career of the Han Dynasty is undoubtedly a necessary premise.

After the banquet, Yuan Pet came to Liu Jian's room, the father and son had not seen each other for a long time, and they had a lot to say.

"Father, that man, how is it now?"

Liu Jian's face became a little dark, he slowly put down the tea cup in his hand and looked at Yuan Pet seriously.

Although Yuan Pet didn't say who that person was, Liu Jian knew very well in his heart who the person he was talking about was.

"Actually, when he was in Liangzhou last year, his health was already bad, and then he returned to Chang'an, and Hua Tuo took care of him, which alleviated a little, but unfortunately it didn't last long."

"Last month, he had a recurrence of his old illness, this time he was very sick, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to get better."

Yuan Pet nodded lightly.

"Father, I want to meet him."

"Yes, I'll arrange it."

Yuan Pet didn't expect Liu Jian to agree to him so happily, and looked at Liu Jian in surprise.

"Father is not afraid that if I see him, what unwise things will I do for revenge?"

Liu Jian said slowly: "What if you do it?" You are my son, even if you poke a hole in the sky, you have to bear it for your father...... Of course, the Father doesn't want you to do that. ”

When Yuan Pet heard this, he was very moved in his heart.

"Father rest assured, the child is no longer the ignorant teenager he was back then, many things, from the perspective of the father and him, life and death and plunder are already involuntary, these children can understand."

"Or just want to meet this person. Some things asked him, as for from now on, after seeing him, from now on, this man will have nothing to do with the child. ”

"The child doesn't want revenge, the child now knows what he should do in his heart, but for these people, the child wants to make a decision after all."
