Liu Bei is not comfortable, and others are actually not comfortable.

From the beginning of the first month of this year, the party struggle between Yang Ci and Yuan Kui, the modern literature school and the ancient literature school became more and more fierce among the government and the opposition.

The two sides desperately tried to find each other's flaws, and did their best to put each other to death, so as to get a chance to fully defeat each other.

Because Yang Ci impeached Yuan Kui and Xun Shuang for misconduct, he fabricated some peachy rumors out of nothing to try to make Yuan Kui and Xun Shuang die, and the means were very vicious.

Some of the dovi forces within the Yuan and Xun clans were humiliated and their power declined greatly, and the mainstream forces of the Yuan and Xun clans had no choice but to completely tear their faces with the modern literary school, and there was no room for ease between them.

The school of ancient literature and the school of modern literature have become more and more distinct, and they are more and more like two political parties that dislike each other, and they have a fairly clear sense of group and friend and foe.

The party struggle in the late Eastern Han Dynasty officially kicked off.

Liu Hong watched the two sides eat dog, watching the two sides unconsciously give up the arbitration power to him, and let himself decide the outcome of the struggle between them, he did not feel the danger at all, but became more and more happy.

This feeling of being deeply involved in the political struggle made Liu Hong feel very good.

And Liu Hong did more than that.

With the help of Liu Bei, Liu Hong came to Taixue many times from the first month of the sixth year of Guanghe, listened to the lectures of Zheng Xuan, the newly appointed doctor of Zuo's Spring and Autumn Period, and personally talked to Zheng Xuan about some content about Zuo's Spring and Autumn - Liu Bei helped sort it out, and Liu Hong only needed to memorize it in advance.

When Zheng Xuan found out that Liu Hong didn't just come over to go through the motions, he thought a little more.

Since Zheng Xuan took over as Dr. Zuo's Spring and Autumn and officially opened classes in Taixue, students all over the world have been bustling, all running to Taixue, crying and shouting to apprentice Zheng Xuan and join Zheng Xuan's disciples, even if it is just to become Zheng Xuan's protégé, there is nothing wrong with it.

At first, the Jinwen School didn't care about the overall position of the Ancient Literature School within Taixue, but after Yang Ci was reinstated, with the rapid recovery of the academic atmosphere of Taixue, Yang Ci felt that the situation was not good.

Seeing that Taixue was developing violently, and that it was about to become the academic territory of the ancient literature school, he was shocked and immediately decided to take out resources to compete with the ancient literature school.

Driven by Yang Ci, seven of the thirteen Dharma inheritance families that are still under control responded to his call at high speed, sending outstanding core clansmen and outstanding high-level disciples to Taixue respectively, restarting their almost abandoned careers in Taixue.

It's not that they really want to give up any political interests, but it is also necessary to compete with the ancient literature school for popularity, and for protégés who don't need to pay much political resources.

After this war, the huge popularity of the ancient literature school made Yang Ci and others feel that they could not continue to close themselves and play the game of small circles, and they must make a certain degree of false opening to the outside world in order to improve their folk reputation.

If we don't make changes to the illusion of prosperity, fertilizer water will become waste water that no one in the world cares about!

Of course, it is impossible for them to give up the real benefits, just to give lectures, if there are really excellent, it is not a big deal to symbolically accept protégés, but they will definitely not accept disciples.

Where is this?

In February of the sixth year of Guanghe, the Taixue career of the Jinwen School, which was almost deserted, began to improve, and when some scholars really found that these Valve-reading families had come up with some meaningful things to invest in Taixue, they couldn't help but want to take advantage of it.

Because it is true that the modern literary school has not really come to an end, it seems that it can continue to survive for a while.

With competition, there is a good life for leeks.

Zheng Xuan's existence is tantamount to winning some serious "fertilizer" for a large number of fresh and tender leeks, and those Valua families really want to compete with Zheng Xuan for the right to speak in Taixue.

The original Taixue in the late Han Dynasty was known as 30,000 Taixue, but it is difficult to say how many of them were really studying and how many were messing around.

Anyway, as far as Liu Bei knows, the vast majority of tens of thousands of Taixue students have come to Luoyang to see the world, and most of them have not even known what the doctors of the classics they have learned look like from the beginning of entering Luoyang Taixue to the "completion of their studies".

It was purely a large amount of money spent by the family to spend in Luoyang.

These 30,000 students have brought a very big consumption boost to the old people in Luoyang City, although the old people look down on these students from other places, but they are still quite praised for their consumption power.

Of course, the money can be left, and the people don't need it.

Go back and forth.

But since the beginning of the sixth year of Guanghe, the atmosphere of Taixue has begun to disappear, and the bastards who have always been mixed in the past are no longer very mixed, and they have begun to study the scriptures seriously.

The flourishing academic atmosphere in the early years of the Eastern Han Dynasty seems to be returning to Taixue little by little and re-emerging in Taixue.

The teachers of ancient scriptures seized the opportunity to give lectures extensively, held various forums and lectures on the vast ground in Taixue, and vigorously disseminated the scriptures and meanings of ancient scriptures.

Teachers and students can often be seen gathering in the Taixue building to talk about academics.

If the weather is clear, the teachers and students move outside and sit together under the shade of the trees.

Following this trend, Liu Hong, who had received Liu Bei's professional special training, appeared in Taixue many times to talk about the scriptures with Zheng Xuan, and asked Zheng Xuan for advice, put on a posture of serious study, and sat opposite Zheng Xuan with some scholars to listen to his lectures.

Zheng Xuan, who didn't know why, was inexplicably excited, and the scholars who didn't know why were also inexplicably excited.

Liu Hong is the Son of Heaven in the end.

Regardless of whether he was ridiculed for becoming a Taishou of Luoyang, he is still the Son of Heaven and an adult Son of Heaven.

The Son of Heaven personally participated in the teaching of the scriptures, and discussed the scriptures with Zheng Xuan and the scholars in a serious manner, which has not happened for many years?

After class, Liu Hong was not in a hurry to leave, and randomly picked a nearby student to talk to him about Zuo's Spring and Autumn related topics, and the selected students were so excited that they were swaying, and groups of scholars surrounded Liu Hong to listen to him, quite a bit of a starry feeling.

This feeling made Liu Hong enjoy it very much.

He began to feel the refreshing feeling that Emperor Guangwu, Emperor Ming, and Emperor Zhang had felt.

Perhaps, this is the respect that you should enjoy as the Son of Heaven, right?

As the creator and behind-the-scenes manipulator of all this, Liu Bei gained Liu Hong's greater trust and appreciation, because it was inconvenient to be promoted, Liu Hong secretly gave Liu Bei money and property many times to reward Liu Bei, bringing hope for the revival of the Han Dynasty's imperial power.

Liu Bei has become the "Prime Minister of the Mountain" by Liu Hong's side, and has become Liu Hong's most trusted existence outside the eunuch group.

Liu Hong will ask Liu Bei for advice whenever he has any serious questions, especially the problems of Zuo's Spring and Autumn Period, Liu Hong will also ask Liu Bei for advice.

Gradually, Liu Hong himself was indeed not satisfied with memorizing the standard answers, but really began to study Zuo's Spring and Autumn Period, and could not see his tendency to slack off for the time being.

Liu Bei didn't expect Liu Hong to act, and he really got into the play.

Of course, that's a good thing.

If the imperial power wants to be revived to a certain extent, Liu Hong does need some real skills.

Here Liu Hong is very happy in Taixue, Yang Ci and Yuan Kui are constantly dog-eat-dog in Shangshutai, you scold me and I scold you, you splash me dirty water and I put a hat on you, Lu Zhi is busy dealing with the constant disputes within Shangshutai, and he is exhausted.

Folk, scholars of the ancient literature school and scholars of the modern literature school continue to stage street debates, and even street fights, releasing a lot of evil fire accumulated on both sides.

In the palace, the eunuchs were not idle, holding back an evil fire and preparing to release it.

At the end of the dynasty, the demons and monsters always had to find ways to do something to make this car on the edge of the cliff fall into the abyss faster.

Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong took the lead and secretly selected a group of good players to fill the East Garden, built the skeleton of the East Garden according to the rules discussed by Zhang Rang and Liu Bei, and then filled the flesh and blood and internal organs, in order to establish this department as soon as possible.

Then fiercely show the power of the eunuchs.

By May of the sixth year of Guanghe, the infrastructure of the East Park had almost been completed, and the intensive training was also in full swing, and the next problem that everyone could not ignore was placed in front of them.

How can we make the special royal institution of Dongyuan officially established and appear in front of the world, and can successfully fire the first shot that opens the world?

It is undeniable that Liu Hong is not yet an emperor who can do whatever he wants.

Especially in terms of the power of the DPRK government, both the ancient literature school and the modern literature school are about to hit the dog's brain, and Liu Hong is about to insert a kick casually, which is too conspicuous and easy to hate.

He needed a justified reason why the East Garden could be established in a proper way, and that it could begin to build its own deterrent.

So, what to do?

The eunuchs brainstormed for a while and thought of many ways, but Liu Hong shook his head and denied it, feeling that it was too deliberate.

In the end, Liu Bei came up with a rather terrifying plan.

Liu Hong needed to be "assassinated" before he could "be furious" and order a thorough investigation of the "assassination case" to further muddy the troubled waters of the dispute between the ancient and modern literary schools, and then announce the formal establishment of the "East Garden", a spy intelligence agency directly under the emperor.

In other words, they need to direct and act in a bitter drama and use bitter tricks to stand on the high ground of rationality.

In this way, you can make the East Garden debut.
