The eunuch group is in a certain sense the existence of the imperial power at this moment, Liu Hong is usually indulged in pleasure, does not exercise imperial power much, and is a political alliance with the eunuchs in a sense.

However, the eunuch group was able to hold the imperial power on behalf of the emperor because Liu Hong was still alive as the emperor and was willing to trust and cooperate with them.

The eunuchs were absolutely unwilling to make Liu Hong realize that he was a mascot emperor who lacked power, and when Liu Hong wanted to do whatever he wanted, the eunuchs would definitely cooperate with him, making him feel that he had enough power to do whatever he wanted.

Then, Liu Hong will enjoy himself and rest assured that the eunuchs will continue to hold the imperial power on his behalf.

Otherwise, once Liu Hong makes a fuss, the eunuchs will immediately be in an extremely disadvantageous situation politically, so Liu Hong is not a simple mascot.

He has the power, and it can even be said that he has the final say for as long as he wants.

Liu Bei was able to get a glimpse of this from this short meeting.

Of course, how to execute it is a matter of opinion of the benevolent and the wise, but as long as he is alive, his thighs will always be the thickest, unless he dies, Dong Zhuo will make a fuss again, and it will be Yuan's turn to become the number one big thick leg in the world.

That was almost ten years later, right now, Liu Hong is still alive, he is the son of Han Tian, and he is the supreme recognized by everyone in the world, no one can change this.

And, Liu Bei realized that he had an advantage that everyone else didn't have.

He is a member of the Han family.

While participating in the Yuan Shao group and operating this political offensive, Liu Bei gained insight into Liu Hong's psychology and the rise and fall of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and then he decided to adjust his course a little, seeking a path that maximized benefits and minimized risks.

He found that at this moment, it was the identity of the Han clan that he valued least in the past that gave him this possibility.

He was right.

When he was penniless, the identity of the Han clan had no meaning to him, it was the same as someone handed a piece of xylitol chewing gum when he was hungry.

But when he became famous, the identity of the Han clan became a fragrant big meat bun with thin skin and big filling, full of calories, enough to satisfy his stomach, and would become an important step for him to enter the body.

Or even a direct factor in changing the course of fate.

This is a road that is difficult for everyone in the scholar group and the eunuch group to walk, but the Han clan can.

Liu Hong trusts the eunuchs, but as a fellow clan, does Liu Hong completely distrust the Han family?

Definitely.

The person who proposed to him to establish a state pastoral system to facilitate the local envoys to suppress bandits was called Liu Yan, a clan relative of the Han family.

Liu Yan's proposal was to use the clan and important ministers as the state pastor, which meant that only the Han clan and the hardcore royalists who were absolutely loyal to the emperor could be the state pastor, and no one else could think of it.

After Liu Yan made a suggestion, until Liu Hong's death, he had a total of three state pastors.

Yizhou Mu Liu Yan, Youzhou Mu Liu Yu, Yuzhou Mu Huang Wan.

Two clans, one hardcore royalist, fully conform to the original requirements and basic principles of abolishing Shi Limu, among which Huang Wan also [withdrew after the fact], and only Liu Yan and Liu Yu remained.

There is nothing wrong with Liu Hong's intelligence, and he knows very well that not everyone can be a powerful official position like a state pastor.

Unfortunately, Liu Bei also [unpredictable prophet] about this matter, and judged that Liu Hong still had a certain degree of trust in the Han family, and at the same time concluded that Liu Hong was most willing to get close to and promote two kinds of people.

Eunuchs and their servants, as well as Han clan relatives.

Those who have the identity of the Han clan and do not strive to follow the emperor's route are fools.

Liu Hong is still alive, he is the biggest person in the world, what Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Cao Cao, Sun Jian, all give me the back row!

Look ahead! I'm going to start hugging my thighs!

The so-called tree moves the dead and the living, Liu Xuande, a clan relative of the Han family who has the identity of a scholar and a strong circle of friends, is about to embark on an unimagined path!

It's a path that all of you didn't expect!

Soaking his body in the comfortable hot water, Liu Bei made a pleasant sound, relaxing and enjoying this moment of tranquility.

Suddenly, the bathroom door opened, then closed again, and there was a sound of laughter.

Liu Bei was puzzled, and suddenly saw Han Ning walking in in a gauze robe.

"Why are you here?"

Looking at Han Ning dressed like this, Liu Bei couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.

"It's been hard for Langjun these days, and I'm here to serve Langjun to bathe."

Han Ning threw away all his shyness, and his face was full of gentle smiles.

She raised her legs and stepped directly into Liu Bei's bathtub, sat behind him, wrapped her hands around him, and her body was tightly behind Liu Bei along with the hot water.

"Lang Jun, thank you."

A soft and somewhat trembling voice of thanks sounded in Liu Bei's ears.

Liu Bei was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood what Han Ning's behavior of breaking through the scale was for.

What a simple man.

I naively thought that I was only doing this so that my husband would not lose his position.

Naively thought I was just repaying the favor.

But your husband and I are not the same simple people.

Is I really worthy of your gratitude?

Liu Bei would not say such words in his heart, and even went through it in his heart.

Liu Bei, who has crossed two classes in a row, deeply understands that such a mood can only be erased once in a row, and must not stay for too long, otherwise the iron heart will melt.

He knows exactly what he has relied to get to where he is today.

Not gentleness, not kindness.

So Liu Bei didn't give Han Ning more time to thank him, he was very worried that Han Ning's gentleness would make him lose this hard-hearted heart prematurely.

She's too gentle.

Liu Xuande, who wants to change his life against the sky, can't lose his cold and hard heart, because this world is neither gentle nor correct, cold as iron, and kills everywhere.

After a long night, the next day, Liu Bei got up early in the morning refreshed, looked at Han Ning who was sleeping soundly beside him, hesitated for a while, and reached out to touch her cheek.

Then he got up and dressed, and according to the usual set of physical training, he strengthened his physique, and was always ready to fight for the change of his life, followed by bathing and breakfast.

When he arrived at Shangshutai and was ready to start his daily office, Liu Bei received an appointment from the emperor.

Liu Hong appointed Liu Bei as Shangshu Tailangzhong, or under the command of Shangshu Lu Zhi, to assist Lu Zhi in handling more state affairs, and he must be diligent and conscientious, without the slightest mistake.

Lang Zhong has served for one year and is called Shang Shulang, and after three years, he will become a waiter, and his job responsibilities are higher than Ling Shi, but if he wants to be promoted, he also needs certain qualifications, and it is a small probability event to be promoted.

In addition, Liu Bei also received twenty taels of gold from the emperor.

The Eastern Han Empire was far less rich in gold than the Western Han Empire, and the gold that the Western Han Emperor rewarded his courtiers with was tens of thousands of taels and hundreds of thousands of taels, and in the Eastern Han Dynasty, dozens of taels and hundreds of taels were also generous rewards.

The reason is simple.

The rewarded gold was brought underground by the dead imperial relatives and was withdrawn from circulation, so that there was not much gold available in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

After all, digging other people's graves is a lack of morality, and normal people can't do this kind of thing.

So even if it's just twenty taels of gold, that small pile is enough to make other colleagues in Shangshutai feel envious.

So they gathered around one after another, congratulating Liu Bei on his new appointment and the emperor's reward, as if he was in the hands of a saint.

But they are also genuinely admired, envious, not jealous.

Because they all know that Liu Bei got this reward because he played with his life.
