56 Why do you have to confront the eunuchs?
Liu Bei looked at Cao Cao in surprise and found that his eyes were shining with a fierce light, and at first glance he was a man of action.
He's here for real.
Obviously, Liu Bei's few words can't completely erase the inertial thinking he has formed over the years, he still habitually wants to eliminate eunuchs to prove himself, and then become an "honorary scholar".
But this is, of course, just wishful thinking on his part.
In addition to Liu Bei, the rest of the people also looked at Cao Cao with strange eyes, nothing more than feeling that this spiritual scholar was too awesome, in order to get rid of his relationship with the eunuch, he actually wanted to use such hard-core means to deal with the eunuch, he was really a hard-core ruthless person.
But does such pandering really have any effect?
He Hao reluctantly asked Cao Cao what he should do to assassinate the eunuch, and Cao Cao looked very proud.
"In the past, the eunuch Zhang Rang was arrogant, and I once entered Zhang Rang's mansion at night, ready to teach him a lesson, but unfortunately I didn't pay attention when I was walking, and smashed a flower pot, so that it attracted the attention of the guards in his house, so I was forced to leave."
Cao Cao said in public that he was saying that I was awesome, I could assassinate him, and as long as I wanted to leave, Zhang Rang couldn't stop him.
Trust me, leave it to me, and I can do it.
Moreover, I will definitely not be on the side of the eunuchs.
Everyone looked at each other, and then looked at Yuan Shao together.
Yuan Shao looked at Cao Cao with dissatisfaction.
"I heard that the eunuch's mansion has been recruiting brave people to strengthen its defense recently, and there are a large number of guards in and out, relying only on Meng De's strength, I'm afraid it won't succeed, so forget it."
This sounds quite polite, Yuan Shao saved face for Cao Cao.
If you really want to save face, I don't know how many pounds and taels your kid has?
That's because people didn't do it for the sake of you being the son of the Cao family, you really want to try, try it and die!
Do you really think that the ruling elite is so easy to assassinate?
Look at which assassinated magnate throughout the ages has not become a laughing stock? What successful assassin didn't go down in history?
Why?
Isn't it too difficult to achieve success stories?
After vetoing Cao Cao's proposal for a funeral, everyone continued to brainstorm.
One plan after another was proposed, one plan after another was rejected, and in the end, everyone was really helpless, and looked at Liu Bei, who had not spoken.
"Xuande, what do you see?"
Yuan Shao couldn't seem to have any good way for a while, so he could only set his eyes on Liu Bei, who was good at planning, hoping that his [mastermind] could provide him with some good methods.
Helping me is also helping myself, right?
Liu Bei had been thinking about ways just now, and he had thought of several ways to overturn them, because there was no feasibility.
It is obviously impossible to go up to the upper echelons, and the upper echelons are all controlled by eunuchs.
Mesosphere...... Even they themselves are trembling now, and there is nothing they can do.
Then with the method of elimination, you can only take the lower route.
The so-called lower line is actually the legendary tactic of public opinion, using public opinion to force the enemy to give up his advantage and return to the same running line.
Before this method can be used, there needs to be a prerequisite, that is, one's own public opinion base is better than the enemy's public opinion base.
Putting his thoughts here, Liu Bei suddenly found an opportunity to survive in a desperate situation.
The political power of the eunuchs is indeed strong, but in terms of public opinion, the eunuchs are at an absolute disadvantage.
The scholars can't fight the eunuchs politically, the political position is completely lost, and they are about to become the vassals of the eunuchs, but on the public opinion front, they have always controlled it very well, and the eunuchs have a bad reputation, and they will never be able to gain benefits in the field of public opinion.
Of course, the eunuchs themselves can't control their own hands, the bad ones are too direct and too obvious, unlike the scholars, the bad ones are very high-end, very high-quality, and they have the upper hand in the field of public opinion.
In such a situation, the prerequisites for the use of public opinion tactics are there.
The eunuchs did not attack in person this time, and they used the chess pieces and puppets they controlled when they attacked, such as the current Sikong Zhang Ji and Taiwei Xu Yu.
These two people were originally attached eunuchs to ascend to the position of the Three Princes, and now they naturally have to rely on eunuchs to show their status and power, and they need the cooperation of eunuchs to stabilize their status.
When the eunuchs made a request, they could hardly refuse, so they could only charge.
Therefore, this actual struggle between eunuchs and scholars is an internal struggle between scholars and bureaucrats on the surface, and it is the punishment of corrupt officials by Taiwei and Sikong, which is justified.
And this also gave Liu Bei an excellent opportunity.
An opportunity to avoid confronting the eunuchs head-on and thus making them suffer dumb losses.
"Why do you have to go head-to-head with the eunuchs?"
Liu Bei looked at Yuan Shao and asked this question.
The question of this question surprised everyone present, including Yuan Shao.
"Huh?"
Yuan Shao didn't react: "What does Xuande mean?" ”
"Why do you have to fight the eunuchs?"
Liu Bei repeated the question again, and added: "Aren't the people who are pushing this matter Taiwei Xu Yu and Sikong Zhang Ji?" Who said we were going to fight the eunuchs? What we have to fight against has always been just the two despicable villains, Taiwei Xu Yu and Sikong Zhang Ji, and no one else. ”
Yuan Shao was stunned for a while and didn't react.
Cao Cao didn't figure it out for a while.
It was Xu Yu who was the first to understand.
"I see!"
Xu You patted his thigh: "I understand the meaning of Xuande!" Xuande, you mean that we don't need to worry about fighting the eunuchs, we just need to raise the banner of opposing Xu Yu and Zhang Ji, although they did it under the instructions of the eunuchs.
It is precisely because of this that this matter is promoted by Xu Yu and Zhang Ji, as long as we oppose them, it is enough to change the final result of this matter, we don't need to do it directly against the eunuchs, as long as we point the finger at Xu Yu and Zhang Ji, it is enough! ”
As he spoke, Xu You looked at Liu Bei with joy on his face, and his eyes were full of brilliance.
"What a Liu Xuande, wake up the dreamer with one word! Yuan Gong, gentlemen, we don't need to embarrass the eunuchs at all, as long as we find a way to bring down Xu Yu and Zhang Ji, these two people are notorious, and it is absolutely feasible to attack them! ”
After Xu You finished speaking, Cao Cao slapped his thigh and showed surprise on his face.
"I see!"
Yuan Shao reacted immediately afterwards and was overjoyed.
"Wonderful!"
He Hao, Zhang Miao and several others also reacted one after another, knowing what Liu Bei's suggestion meant, they all showed joy on their faces, and looked at Liu Bei with brilliant eyes.
Obviously, this is a trick to change concepts.
The struggle between the political groups of the scholars against the eunuchs was skillfully transformed into a contradictory struggle among the scholars.
You don't need to mention eunuchs at all, and you don't need to attack them.
You only need to gather fire on Xu Yu and Zhang Ji to find out the black material of these two people, or find a way to operate it so that it is impossible for these two people to continue to be the third prince, as long as they are ousted, then all problems will be solved.
That is, there is no vision of heaven and earth during this time, otherwise everyone can let them collectively step down in minutes!
In essence, this is the anti-eunuch behavior, this is digging the corners of the eunuchs and cutting off the wings of the eunuchs, but on the surface, this is the infighting between the scholars and bureaucrats.
We are rebelling against some stinky and shameless scholars who do not speak of martial virtues, and we are not rebelling against eunuchs.
