Understand, of course I understand, how can Zhang Rang not understand this kind of thing?

If he didn't understand such a good thing, he simply wouldn't be his chief eunuch.

Zhang Rang's two hands kept rubbing together and rubbing back and forth.

"Isn't that beautiful?"

"Of course, isn't that better than your secret conspiracy? This is a direct confrontation, which is the most advantageous method for you. ”

Liu Bei nodded and said slowly: "So, do you still care about Shang Shuling?" Zhang Changshi? ”

Zhang Rang licked his lips and rolled his eyes.

"I don't care, I don't care when I say that, then Liu ...... Xuande, when will you and I discuss how to arrange this East Garden? This is something that Your Majesty is particularly concerned about, and we can't take it lightly! ”

The state switch is really fast.

Of course, this is also a feedback to the eunuch group.

In any case, this time the eunuch clique has really given up a lot of benefits, and now that the struggle has won a phased victory, if they don't give them anything, they will definitely not be able to stand it, and it is inevitable that they will make trouble when the time comes.

At that time, it was the time when this political and academic struggle was tense and stalemate, and there could be no problems within oneself.

But political power is indeed very tight, and Liu Bei can't be the master, so he simply throws out a spy agency for the eunuchs to grasp, open up new tracks, and find new industry outlets, so as to satisfy them temporarily.

Now it seems that Zhang Rang is indeed very satisfied.

Liu Bei was very satisfied with Zhang Rang's change of attitude, so he nodded and promised to secretly discuss with him many details of the formation of Dongyuan tonight.

It is necessary to get the East Garden up as soon as possible, so that the emperor can hold a powerful card that can be played.

Once this card is formed, it will also be of great benefit to Liu Bei himself.

But as long as the role of the eunuch can be maximized, the power of the scholars can be suppressed to the greatest extent, and the power of the scholars will not expand too quickly before he has enough ability to turn things around, Liu Bei is very willing to do it.

No matter how much you say this, this group of eunuchs has rich experience in political struggle, and if they can't be well armed and trained, it will be a pity that they will be served by Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu at that time.

You have to let the two tigers fight, so that you can fish in troubled waters and make profits for the fisherman.

But......

The feeling of seeking skin with the tiger also made Liu Bei fully experienced.

There are no absolute allies or enemies in the political arena, and allies now may not become enemies in the future.

Once a secret service is formed, its lethality is huge, and it is not necessarily a double-edged sword.

Seeking skin with tigers and dancing with wolves, this is true.

But on the other hand, it is easier to cooperate with eunuchs than with scholars.

At least most of the eunuchs from humble backgrounds had clear interests to pursue.

Give them enough benefits, and they will be your staunch allies – until you can't provide them with the benefits that are satisfying.

And the scholars ......

Do you know what it means to be negative?

They have too much to do at the beginning, and they think very highly of themselves, and only higher power in the world can make them excited, but power is a rare treasure, so scholars are not destined to be a good partner to work with.

Since you want to pull up the East Garden, you definitely need a secret headquarters that can't see the light, and you also need some secret branches scattered inside and outside Luoyang City, and you must choose the kind of place that looks inconspicuous at a glance, and it is best not to be in the place, but underground.

It's the kind of picture that is a serious business on the surface and intelligence officers coming and going underground.

Personnel must also be reliable, reliable and reliable, all candidates should be young, have no relatives and no relatives, and have a clean background, cut off all contact with the outside world, undergo rigorous physical, invisible, espionage and cultural training, and fully master the skills of espionage.

But then again, Liu Bei is not a professional in the field of intelligence, and he still uses the experience accumulated from playing dark battles with opponents when he was a street fighter.

The most successful one was to spy on the location of the opponent's lair, and the starry night led people to raid the other party, and in addition, Liu Bei really had no experience in intelligence warfare.

Fortunately, Zhang Rang had some experience in sending people into the other party's lair to spy on intelligence or bribe the enemy's cronies to obtain information, so he shared it with Liu Bei, and the two got together to ponder a set of regulations.

This matter was being done, and Liu Bei suddenly felt that it was really despicable for him and Zhang Rang to get together and try their best to deal with the scholars.

Obviously got the trust of the school and entrusted with great things, but he has always been secretly bad for the good things of the school.

What a despicable villain.

But.

It's kind of funny.

He didn't think he was a scholar, but others thought he was a scholar.

His ass never sat on the side of the scholar.

We must stand tall, we must open up the pattern, and we must not rest on our laurels.

Whether it is the ancient literature school, the modern literature school, or the eunuchs, they are all bastards in general, there is no fundamental difference, and whoever governs will not be better for the Han Dynasty, nor will it make the people's livelihood of the Han Dynasty any better.

With this group of insects, how can you do a good job?

So, you can't do it, so let me do it.

Strike when it's time to strike, and be ruthless.

In the cooperation with Liu Hong and Zhang Rang, Liu Bei gradually found another thing he wanted to do at this stage.

If the development and expansion itself is the main quest, then this matter can be said to be a side quest, and even a legendary world quest.

Prevent scholars from following the trajectory of history to the peak, that is, to prevent scholars and heroes from converging with the trajectory of history, and achieve the super-huge power class that the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, and even the Sui and Tang dynasties have not completely eliminated.

During the Eastern Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms Period, scholars and heroes had not yet completely merged, and the general environment in which scholars held the power of knowledge and landlords controlled the land and population was not completely broken.

With the Wuhu Chaohua and the Jin Dynasty's southern crossing, scholars and Haoqiang gradually merged into one, achieving a far-reaching political force group in Chinese history - the family of gate lords.

They developed in the Han Dynasty, grew up in the Wei Dynasty, and matured in the Jin Dynasty and beyond, based on the manor economy, with the Wei and Jin metaphysics as the appearance, and the Jiupin Zhongzheng system as the step of advancement, which had a profound impact on the development of Chinese history in the Northern and Southern Dynasties and even in the Sui and Tang dynasties.

It was they who officially created the political rules of the upper grade and the lower grade of the Wushi clan, and it was they who trampled the princely general Xiangning under their feet and proudly declared that they were kind.

Of course, they didn't end well.

Huangchao superimposed Zhu Wen, followed by five dynasties and ten kingdoms, and the terrifying and chaotic era of darkness ended them by physical means, and only then did it open the dual society of monarchs and commoners after the Song Dynasty.

Their influence is too great, too dangerous.

When Liu Bei was just a second- or third-rate scholar before, he didn't think of stopping them, but unconsciously worked hard to become them.

But when Liu Bei stepped into the top of the Eastern Han Dynasty social pyramid with half of his body, he was stunned to find that he had become a member of this group of people.

The Liu family of Zhuo County, Zhuo County, if he really becomes a member of the Gaomen Shi clan in the future and becomes a member of the Wei and Jin Gate Valve family, is this really what he wants to pursue?

In the process of getting along with the scholars, Liu Bei sensed his heart.

He didn't want to be such a person, and he didn't have the interest in dancing with such a group of people and then getting rotten and stinky with them, and his ass didn't sit on the side of the warriors.

He didn't like the gentry.

Seriously, if this step had been taken earlier, maybe we could have used the power of this East Garden to make the outbreak of the Yellow Turban Rebellion a little smaller, and not so big.

Is it in time?

Looking at the snowflakes slowly falling in the sky, Liu Bei let out a long sigh.
