Just when Liu Zhang doubted Xun You's prediction, a report came from outside the door.
"Report to the general that someone is coming from the palace and wants to see the general."
Liu Zhang glanced at Xun You in surprise, he was really amazed!
"who?"
"The person who came here calls himself Zhang Rang, the minister of Zhongchang."
Liu Zhang was shocked again. It was Zhang Rang who came in person!
Jia Xu and Xunyou also had a flash of surprise in their eyes. It seemed that Liu Hong was more anxious than he thought!
"My lord, you can welcome me in person. There will be no harm done by Zhang Rang!"
"Okay!" "Lord, wait!"
Jia Xu stood up and called Liu Zhang.
"Wenhe, what's wrong?"
Jia Xu sneered, walked to Liu Zhang, and kept talking.
The Hou General's Mansion was heavily guarded and no one could enter without permission. Zhang Rang could only wait outside the door.
Liu Zhang did not dare to delay and walked directly to the door.
"Master Zhang, I'm really sorry to keep you waiting for so long!"
When Liu Zhang saw Zhang Rang, he trotted forward and apologized while walking.
Zhang Rang himself had a good impression of Liu Zhang, so naturally he didn't care about this and responded with a smile.
"General, you're welcome! I've just arrived here."
Liu Zhang turned half of his body to the side and made a gesture of invitation.
"Master Zhang, you have worked hard all the way, please rest inside the house."
“The general’s kindness is appreciated, I accept it with my heart!”
Zhang Rang thanked Liu Zhang with a smile, and then slightly raised his hands to the sky.
"Your Majesty is urgent, I'd better wait without delay!"
"That's fine, Master Zhang please!"
"General, please!"
There are no sedan chairs in this era, and riding horses is prohibited in Luoyang, so the two of them could only walk to the palace.
Liu Zhang and Zhang Rang walked side by side. They did not dare to delay and walked very fast.
"Mr. Zhang, any trifle is not disrespectful."
Liu Zhang took out a small bag from his arms, which contained some gold and silver jewelry.
"General Hou is too polite! How can Zhang accept bribes without merit?"
Although Zhang Rang kept saying that he couldn't take it away, his eyes never left the bag.
Liu Zhang didn't know Zhang Rang's hypocrisy, so he put his hand directly into Zhang Rang's arms.
"How come Mr. Zhang is so polite to me? Mr. Zhang has spoken uprightly many times, and Liu Zhang will remember it all in his heart!"
Compared with this complicated officialdom, Liu Zhang preferred to deal with villains like Zhang Rang.
It's very simple. For a villain like Zhang Rang, all you need to do is give him money, and he will naturally do things for you!
But people like Yuan Wei are different. On the surface, they are very friendly to you and help you for free, but in fact they push you into the abyss step by step!
The same is true in Zhang Rang's heart. Although he is in a high position, he often feels like he is too cold at the top.
The power of Shi Changshi comes and goes quickly. I don’t know how many people want to kill them!
If the situation gets out of control one day, they may have to be thrown out by the emperor to vent their anger!
Liu Zhang's appearance made Zhang Rang feel very comfortable. He didn't have much desire. At most, he just wanted to be promoted to an official position. He knew how to be human and gave himself a heavy gift early!
The most important thing is to be capable! Be capable, sensible, and respect yourself very much. Where can you find such talents?
Naturally, Zhang Rang would not take out the treasure that he had put into his arms, but he still looked at Liu Zhang pretending to be embarrassed.
"General Hou, look at you...hey, I'm so embarrassed!"
"Does Mr. Zhang look down on Liu Zhang?"
Liu Zhang also looked at Zhang Rang pretending to be angry, as if Zhang Rang would get angry if he didn't accept it.
Really, I understand your pretense of reserve, and you understand my evil intentions.
Both of them knew what the other was thinking, but their behavior was completely opposite.
"Well, since the general is so kind, then I will be disrespectful!"
Zhang Rang showed a very cordial smile and kept patting Liu Zhang's hand.
Liu Zhang was naturally happy that Zhang Rang accepted the gift, and he also looked grateful at the moment.
"Thanks to Mr. Zhang for looking up to me, Liu Zhang is very grateful!"
Zhang Rang really liked Liu Zhang more and more the more he looked at him. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, if all the civil and military officials in the dynasty were like this, there would be no fights!
"Why!"
When Liu Zhang saw that the time had come, he pretended to be sad and lamented.
"Why is the general like this?"
Liu Zhang was fine just now, but now he started to sigh, which made Zhang Rang very puzzled.
"Lord Zhang doesn't know something. Liu Zhang has offended the general and the Yuan family, and I'm afraid a disaster is imminent! I will never be able to serve His Majesty together with Lord Zhang again!"
Liu Zhang looked disappointed, as if he was extremely aggrieved, and his eye circles were a little red.
Zhang Rang originally knew about this, but Liu Zhang was too involved, and this feeling was passed on to Zhang Rang.
Recalling that for so many years, I have been making things difficult for him by He Jin and being secretly tripped up by Yuan family, I couldn't help but feel angry in my heart.
"General Hou, I've also heard about this. He Jin and Yuan Shao are really bullying people!"
As soon as Liu Zhang heard this, his heart suddenly dropped by half.
Since Zhang Rang knew it, it means Liu Hong must have known it!,
"Master Zhang, if you are going to create difficulties in the future, you have to rely on Master Zhang to speak out for justice!"
Zhang Rang readily agreed, as he also needed an external force like Liu Zhang.
"Don't worry, General Hou. As long as I'm here, the butcher won't be able to cause any trouble!"
Liu Zhang first bowed his hands in thanks, then pretended to be careful and leaned into Zhang Rang's ear.
"I don't know whether to talk about something or not..."
"General Hou, just say it's okay!"
Liu Zhang's expression of difficulty successfully aroused Zhang Rang's curiosity.
Liu Zhang was still looking around, and seeing no one around, he approached Zhang Rang's ear again.
"Sir Zhang, He Jin has always wanted to get rid of the eunuchs. I wonder if you know this!"
Zhang Rang's face suddenly darkened when he heard this. He didn't expect Liu Zhang to say it so straightforwardly.
Although it was very direct, Zhang Rang knew that it was lice on the bald man's head, it was obvious!
Seeing Zhang Rang nodding slightly, Liu Zhang leaned over again.
"Does Mr. Zhang know who has been instigating He Jin?"
Zhang Rang shook his head happily, he really didn't know this.
Every time He Jin had a secret conversation, he was surrounded by people he trusted very much, so it was impossible for Zhang Rang to find out too specific information.
"Then Mr. Zhao was impeached by Huangfu Song. Doesn't Mr. Zhang find it strange? Ye city is so big, why did Huangfu Song just go to Mr. Zhao's house?"
Seeing that Zhang Rang didn't know, Liu Zhang was relieved.
"hiss..."
When Zhang Rang was asked this question by Liu Zhang, he immediately felt like he was enlightened.
Yes, I have never thought about how Huangfu Song found Zhao Zhongna!
I have never thought about why Huangfu Song came to impeach Zhao Zhong.
It seems that Huangfu Song's impeachment of Zhao Zhong is extremely logical and normal!
Everyone was constrained by their preconceptions and thought that Huangfu Song was looking for trouble.
The ten regular attendants and even more people did not think at all that there was someone behind Huangfu Song!
Who is it?
Zhang Rang's face became more and more serious, and the cold sweat behind him became more and more intense.
"General Hou, we are not outsiders. If you know anything, please tell us!"
Zhang Rang was tricked!
Liu Zhang was already overjoyed, and his admiration for Jia Xu was overwhelming!
