Although the modern literary school is inferior academically, it still has some political advantages, and if they take advantage of it, give them a mouthful of blood and let them take a breath, they will definitely take revenge on the ancient literature school and the Yuan and Xun families.

The ancient literary school has finally opened a political deadlock, and it must cherish the current situation very much, and it is impossible to let the modern literary school make a comeback in any case.

They will definitely fight each other to the death.

The struggle between the ancient and modern schools will continue, and there is no end in sight.

At that time, the emperor, that is, Liu Hong, will be able to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and reap the benefits of the fisherman.

Therefore, Liu Bei suggested that on the one hand, according to the meaning of the ancient literature school, let Yuan Kui record Shangshushi, let Xun Shuang return to the central government, and enhance their strength, on the other hand, he could give Yang the right to record Shangshu and give the modern literature school a sip of milk to let them take a breath.

The situation in the court is very good.

Liu Hong liked Liu Bei's suggestion very much, but Zhang Rang had doubts.

"This kind of appointment is too superficial, and they can't understand that Your Majesty is letting them kill each other?"

"What if you see it? Would they voluntarily refuse the authority of the Records of Shangshu? ”

Liu Bei shook his head: "The Jinwen School is now a person who is about to drown, even if they see a straw floating aside, they will reach out and grab it, let alone the right to record Shang Shushi, they will definitely accept it, and then, find ways to take revenge on the Yuan family and the Xun family." ”

Zhang Rang was skeptical.

"Really?"

"They have no choice, this is a conspiracy, if they don't want to perish, they know that this is a trap, and they must resolutely jump down."

Liu Bei looked at Liu Hong and said: "Your Majesty, although the modern literary school is decaying, it cannot die quickly, otherwise once the ancient literary school gains full power, the harm will be greater than that of the modern literary school, so we must not sit back and watch the ancient literary school completely replace the modern literary school." ”

When Liu Hong knew that the ancient literature school was planning to take charge of the government in an all-round way, he deeply agreed with Liu Bei's opinion.

That is, never believe in scholars, and never exterminate the modern literary school.

Wouldn't it still make sense to keep them, and to maintain a balance between the two sides in a sense?

"What Xuande said won my heart, this group of scholars is not a person who can be trusted after all."

Liu Hong held Liu Bei's hand and said with a smile: "Sure enough, the Han clan is different. ”

"Your Majesty said with a smile, we are both relatives of the Han family, if you don't think about your majesty, who else can you think about?"

Liu Bei said with a smile: "So please also ask Your Majesty to appoint Yang Ci, although this person is old, but he has great prestige, and he is also the only person who can unify the modern literary school. ”

Liu Hong laughed.

"What Xuande said is very true!"

After laughing for a while, Liu Hong calmed down again and clapped his hands.

"The dog-eat-dog between them is naturally very good-looking, I sit here, watching the tiger fight across the mountain, it is also a beautiful thing, but the authority of Shangshutai is to be handed over to them, and some things are not easy to do, Xuande, what do you say?"

"That's true."

Liu Bei nodded.

As soon as he mentioned this matter, Zhang Rang was very unhappy, because the position of Shang Shuling was given to Lu Zhi by him.

"Didn't you insist that I give up Shang Shuling's position? And now it's not good to say that this is bad? What did you do earlier? ”

"When did I say it's bad to do this?"

Liu Bei spread out his hands: "Zhang Changshi, you have to touch your conscience when you speak, Shang Shuling's position was handed over to the Ancient Literature School, in order to ensure that the achievements of the Ancient Literature School are not subverted, to prevent the Yuan and Xun families from betraying again, and the situation is reversed again, this is a precautionary measure in advance." ”

"Then why are you talking about it now......

"I mean, it's the lesser of two evils."

Liu Bei shook his head angrily: "Of course I have other ideas." ”

"Oh?"

Liu Hong's eyes lit up and asked, "What is Xuande's plan?" Hurry up! ”

"Yui."

Liu Bei said slowly: "Has Your Majesty understood why Shang Shutai was able to bypass the Three Princes and Nine Emperors and become the key point in the world?" ”

"Why?"

Liu Hong was stunned for a moment, and said: "Because Shangshutai is in charge of documents, reviewing the recitals, and passing on the emperor's orders, his powers are becoming more and more important, and Emperor Wu will gradually become an important important important point in the world in the future. ”

"Yes, the rank of Shangshutai officials is very low, such as ministers, but they are only four hundred stone langzhong, but they have a lot of official affairs in their hands, and they can handle many confidential and important matters, and they have great responsibilities."

Liu Bei said slowly: "It's just that because it's close to the emperor and belongs to the emperor's cronies, it has gradually become the pivotal point in the world, and even replaced the three princes and nine secretaries, it is precisely because of the emperor, because of His Majesty's authority, so no matter how irrelevant this department is, as long as His Majesty's cronies, it is a pivotal place." ”

When Liu Hong heard this, he seemed to understand something, and smiled slowly: "Is there something in Xuande's words? ”

"Your Majesty is wise."

Liu Bei said: "Since there can be a Shangshutai, then the appearance of the second and third Shangshutai is not a very strange thing, today you can be lowly and powerful, and I can also be lowly and powerful in the future, and the person you rely on is nothing more than the Son of Heaven, Your Majesty, so as long as you trust someone and appoint someone, they can naturally grasp the power beyond their own rank." ”

Liu Hong was quite touched by this.

"What Xuande said is yes, Shangshutai is just an institution under the jurisdiction of Shaofu, but because he is a close confidant of the emperor, he has become the key point of the world, so what Xuande means is that he wants me to create a new Shangshutai?"

Liu Bei shook his head.

"It takes too much time and manpower and material resources to get another Shangshutai, and it takes too much time and manpower and material resources to search for talents to deal with national affairs, and it is still impossible to bypass the scholars, and the gains outweigh the losses."

"So?"

"Your Majesty can give full play to the advantages of Zhang Changshou and others."

Liu Bei pointed at Zhang Rang.

Liu Hong looked at Zhang Rang.

Zhang Rang looked confused.

Liu Bei began to elaborate on his thoughts.

Liu Hong listened to it, and heard a little taste, and then the more he listened, the more interesting he felt, and the more he listened, the more meaningful he felt.

"Xuande, it's really worthy of being my Han family's Qilin'er!"

After listening, Liu Hong happily gave Liu Bei thirty-two likes, but Zhang Rang had not yet reacted.

Liu Bei's meaning is very simple, nothing special, that is, to give full play to the expertise of eunuchs and engage in spy politics or something.

The eunuchs really can't get the scholars to engage in politics, the level is poor, and they don't have a reputation, so they have to work against the professional, which can only make the world uneasy.

Engage in spy work.

Liu Bei said that Liu Hong didn't trust the scholars, because he felt that the scholars were lying to him, and he felt that what the scholars said was false.
