Of course, there is no possibility of being rewarded for mediocrity, but Liu Bei is not mediocre.

He has ideas and practical practices, he thinks he is a motion-type figure, as long as Liu Hong has the courage and determination, this matter will be very successful.

"What His Majesty said, the minister naturally knows, if he is not sure, the minister does not dare to speak to His Majesty, in fact, the minister has been thinking for a while, as far as the current point of view, the contradiction between the ancient school of literature and the school of modern literature and the school of literature and classics is difficult to reconcile.

It's just that this contradiction has lost its prominence because of the party's policy, so some more enlightened scholars will seek the cooperation of the ancient Wenjing school and the modern Wenjing school to fight against the eunuchs together, among them, Yuan Shao of the Yuan family in Runan is the leader.

As a son of the Yuan family, who is the leader of the modern Wenjing school, he tried his best to win over the ministers who were the successors of the ancient Wenjing school, which in itself is a symbol of the cooperation between the modern Wenjing school and the ancient Wenjing school, and it must not be ignored.

It is true that Yuan Shao, as the concubine of the Yuan family, is destined to be unable to inherit all the family business and not inherit the "Meng Shi Yi", but his background is already destined to be stamped with the seal of the Jinwen and Jing School, which cannot be removed, and his actions are not without the connivance of the Yuan family. ”

After Liu Hong heard this, he sighed.

"Listening to Xuande's words, like seeing the sun through the clouds, I have Xuande, which is really a great blessing! Xuande, go on! ”

Liu Hong obviously did not receive in-depth explanations and guidance on the internal composition and disputes of the scholars, and obviously did not know so much about the current political ecology of the scholars in the Han Empire, so after receiving Liu Bei's in-depth explanation, he was like a treasure.

Liu Bei is also not stingy with his knowledge.

Because I can't bear the child, I can't trap the wolf.

"Originally, it was very difficult for the ancient Wenjing school and the modern Wenjing school to understand and cooperate with each other, and there was a long process, but this process was greatly promoted by the party and the impeachment of the 26 county guards.

The minister was by Yuan Benchu's side and planned this series of actions for him, not only using the power of the scholars of the ancient Wenjing school, but also the power of the scholars of the current Wenjing school, so this was an unprecedented joint action of the scholars of the two factions.

They all obeyed Yuan Shao's call, obeyed the command of the ministers, worked together, and temporarily abandoned the sectarian views among each other, just to fight against the eunuchs and fight back against the party. ”

Liu Bei's analysis made Liu Hong's brows furrow, apparently aware of the danger brought about by the merger of the two major factions of scholars.

"Isn't that a big deal?"

"Indeed, the ancient Wenjing school and the modern Wenjing school do not talk about the convergence, as long as the two sides strengthen cooperation, it will definitely have a far-reaching impact on the situation in the Han Dynasty and threaten the existing political situation, and once they confirm that they cannot break through the existing predicament by conventional means, they will inevitably break out."

Liu Bei continued to admonish Liu Hong.

Liu Hong gasped and looked at Liu Bei in disbelief.

"Do they dare to rebel?"

"No one can predict what the bleeding beast will do in the face of a threat to its life, so the minister can't deny this possibility."

Liu Hong stood on the spot, speechless.

Looking at the countermeasures between Liu Bei and Liu Hong, Zhang Rang suddenly felt a sense of urgency that he had been ignored.

So he made a sour speech on the side.

"Things have come to this point, and you haven't planned it in the play? Now I'm here again to ask for credit! Shameless! ”

"Without your failure to depose the twenty-six county guards in one fell swoop, would I have had a chance to speak? Will things come to this? Who started this? Don't you know? Is it my fault? ”

Liu Bei replied unceremoniously, and Zhang Rang was suddenly choked speechless.

Liu Hong glared at him dissatisfiedly when he heard this, making him immediately lower his head and not dare to say anything more.

So Liu Bei went on to analyze the contradictions within the scholars and how to use this contradiction to Liu Hong, including the current views of the scholars on the emperor and eunuchs.

When he heard that the scholars of the current scholar group, especially the scholars of the modern Wenjing school, were generally dissatisfied with the emperor himself, Liu Hong was angry and worried.

"This group of insects is not shallow, embezzling the country's tax revenue, making the tax revenue worse, the treasury empty, and there is no money for anything! I had no choice but to take countermeasures, and now I am actually beating a rake and putting the responsibility on my head, which is simply shameless! ”

Liu Beixin said that your old man didn't do anything good.

The eunuchs did strike at the scholars, but they were also demon-like beings to the vast number of Li people, robbing the scholars of their money and scraping the money of the poor ghosts, which did not play a positive role in the Han Dynasty.

Immortals fight mortals suffer, the city gate is on fire and the pond fish are affected, you are all bastards, big brother don't laugh at the second brother.

For the final downfall of the Han Dynasty, both of you have made contributions that cannot be ignored.

Cao Pi should give you a big medal, Sima Yi should stand up and toast you, and Sima Yan should kneel down and kowtow to you to thank you!

But at this moment, of course, Liu Bei has to stand on Liu Hong's side.

"Although this is true, but the worm will not feel that he has made a mistake, even if someone thinks so, because of the general environment, they will not publicly express that the scholar made a mistake, so Your Majesty must not continue to do something to kill the scholars, otherwise it will only continue to accelerate this process."

"So what should I do? Xuande, you say. ”

Liu Bei calmed down for a while, took a deep breath, and slowly said his plan.

"First of all, it is natural to find ways to split the scholars, and not to let the current Wenjing school and the ancient Wenjing school continue to keep warm, and the minister's suggestion is that the twenty-six newly appointed county guards who belong to the ancient Wenjing school can directly take office.

Those who belong to the modern Wenjing school have to go to the West Garden to pay the money, and then they can take office, and if they don't pay the money, they can't take office, and they will be directly replaced, and they will also change the scholars of the ancient Wenjing school, or they will take office directly, so as to give the modern Wenjing school a huge stimulus. ”

"That's ......"

Liu Hong lowered his head and thought for a while, then nodded slowly: "It makes sense, treating them differently like this doesn't worry about not having trouble between them." ”

Liu Bei said in a low voice: "Although Your Majesty has summoned Zhang Rang and others to come forward, after this incident, you should first make a gesture, slowly lift the party shackles against the scholars of the ancient literature and scripture school, and continue to maintain the party shackles against the scholars of the current literature and scripture school, and wait and see what happens."

If they have already begun to divide and struggle after this change, they will continue to maintain this strategy, and if they can still unite against the eunuchs and His Majesty, His Majesty can start to take action against the Five Classics and the Fourteen Family Laws, and release the news that they will establish the Spring and Autumn Scholars of the Zuo clan. ”

Zhang Rang couldn't help it again.

"So obvious a ploy, do you really think they're stupid?"

Liu Bei shook his head.

"The reason why a conspiracy is a conspiracy is because it can't be on the stage, once it is recognized, it will be defeated, and the reason why the conspiracy is that it is on the stage, everyone knows it, but it can't resist, my strategy is a conspiracy, not a conspiracy.

It has been a long, long time since the scholars of the ancient Wenjing school wanted to promote the ancient Wenjing school into the scholars, Wang Mang had such a situation before, but it was blocked by the current Wenjing school, and the two sides were on the same footing, fighting openly and secretly.

Even if they knew that this was the court's conspiracy, what could they do? Would the scholars of the ancient Wenjing school give up the opportunity to let the Zuo family set up scholars in the Spring and Autumn Period in order to unite the modern Wenjing school? Would the scholars of the modern school of literature tolerate their division of their interests in order to unite the school of ancient literature?

Your Majesty, the world is crowded, all for profit, the world is bustling, all for profit, Confucian scholars are full of benevolence, righteousness and morality, their hearts are full of interests, their only goal of action is also interests, this conspiracy, they categorically can't resist, it will inevitably split. ”
