What Lu Zhi meant, Liu Bei couldn't understand better.

After today, the friendship between Lu Zhi and Yang Biao no longer exists.

They became enemies and could never be friends again.

It doesn't matter, though.

Liu Bei didn't have any friendship with Yang Biao, as for what Lu Zhi thought in his heart, it was meaningless at this moment when the dispute between ancient and modern texts had escalated into a party dispute.

Lu Zhi is one of the leading figures of the ancient literature school, which is his identity label, and it also determines all the things he needs to do on the road ahead.

Since then, he has been a slave to this identity label.

But Liu Bei is not.

Because Liu Bei doesn't care about the identity label of the Valle Reading family at all, he can give it up at any time.

This kind of psychological advantage is not possessed by Lu Zhi, Yang Ci, and Yang Biao.

So they are destined not to make a big deal, but Liu Bei is preparing all the time, accumulating strength, and preparing to do a big thing.

When there was no one around at home, Yang Ci slowly opened his eyes and sighed helplessly at Yang Biao beside him.

"It's changed, it's really changed."

"What has changed?"

Yang Biao looked at his father.

"I can't say it, but I just feel like something has changed."

Yang Ci sighed and said: "Biao, the road ahead will be more and more difficult to walk, let's make some preparations." ”

"Ready?"

Yang Biao was stunned and said, "Could it be that we really ......?"

"Change, everything is changing, even if it doesn't change now, it will definitely change in the future."

Yang Ci thought of Liu Bei's sharp words, and in addition to being annoyed, he also had a trace of self-deprecation: "For example, some scholars dare to scold me in public for being an old thief, which shows that people's hearts have changed, and all changes in the world can be reversed, but only people's hearts have changed, which cannot be reversed." ”

For all this Yang Ci said, Yang Biao was silent.

In the wake of this debate, Dongyuan took a more radical approach, first arresting several members of the Yang family for interrogation, on the grounds that they had described the assassination process in too much detail, making it suspicious that they were the masters, so it was necessary to investigate.

At the same time, several people from the ancient literature school were also arrested, on the grounds that when the eunuchs came to ask them, they spoke fiercely, contradicted the officials of Dongyuan, and were suspected of disregarding the emperor's life and death, suspected of rebellion, and needed to be interrogated.

Now, mobilization is not about tea.

That's a serious hands-on interrogation.

Say!

How do you know that in such detail?

I don't know?

If you don't know, I'll call you until you know!

Forgot?

Come!

Give me a great memory recovery technique! Help him make memories!

A protégé of the Yang family and a protégé of the ancient literature school were beaten to death, but they did not admit anything, and finally they were seriously injured and thrown out of prison.

A few days later, the two men took their breath one after another.

The two schools were shocked and immediately asked Dongyuan for an explanation, but Dongyuan's statement was very simple.

For the sake of the life and safety of the Son of Heaven, such means are necessary.

Whoever dares to stop and resist will be connected with the rebellious thief and will be investigated!

Otherwise, you will be treated as a traitor!

The ferocious aura repelled the soldiers who went to reprimand.

Dongyuan's bottomless interrogation continued.

Dongyuan began to exert its power, and the ancient literature school and the modern literature school finally noticed that something was wrong with this matter.

But what is wrong, they are still a little confused.

At present, what is more critical is that Liu Bei's angry reprimand of Yang Ci has spread throughout Luoyang.

Everyone knows that Yang Ci slandered Lu Zhi and was scolded by Lu Zhi's disciple Liu Bei and fainted, becoming a brazen old thief, losing face, and the lintel of the Yang family was dull.

At the same time, what happened was the further confrontation and mutual attack between the modern school of literature and the school of ancient literature.

It is no longer possible for the two sides to achieve reconciliation, and the contradictions are getting deeper and deeper, although facing the joint attack of the East Garden controlled by the eunuchs, there is no sign of coordinated operations, but they are deliberately thinking about how to use the eunuchs to kill each other.

This is a far more serious matter than the disaster of the party.

At that time, there was a certain degree of tacit cooperation between the two sides, but now, there is nothing.

In its place, there was a more intense, well-defined confrontation.

Some people still want to keep their sanity, and the doves on both sides are trying to salvage the situation, but the more numerous and more determined radicals can no longer be contained.

The radicals within the ancient literary school were completely enraged by the vile slanderous behavior of the modern literary school, and the radicals within the modern literary school were also completely enraged by Liu Bei's targeted remarks.

The ancient literature school claims that the dog thieves of the modern literature school are trying to put them to death, which is an irreparable and unforgivable bad act, and the old things actually try to hinder the torrent of history, and the two sides can only solve the problem by completely dividing the situation.

Nowadays, the literary school claims that the rebels of the ancient literature school do not respect the saints and teachers, and are rebellious and bastard, especially that Liu Bei, who is simply a rebellious minister and thief without a king and a father, and should be beaten to death with a stick.

The people on both sides went to each other's tables to participate in each other's performances, accusing each other of leading the emperor's assassination case, pouring dirty water on each other, reversing black and white, and the methods gradually became more vile.

For example, Liu Bei was attacked by rotten eggs on the way home from the official office to take a bath, although he escaped one, but he did not escape the second, he was covered with rotten eggs, and he was disgusted that he didn't eat that night.

But he still thinks that these old people of the modern literary school are not decisive enough, but anyone who has a little courage and directly assassinates himself is better than being a rotten egg on the street.

What else can Liu Bei do when the rotten eggs are pasted on the street except to be disgusting?

Can you let Hongnong Yang's lost face come back?

Apparently not.

was insulted like this, and no one from the Yang family stood up to duel with him for such a reason, which is obviously unreasonable.

At that time, because someone insulted his teacher, Xiahoudun pulled out a knife on the street in anger and killed the person who insulted the teacher, so it is conceivable that it is not a strange thing to kill people on the street for this kind of reputation-related thing in this era.

But no one came to trouble Liu Bei, at most, they used rotten eggs to disgust Liu Bei.

It stands to reason that the third and third dukes of the Yang family, the protégés and former officials are not as good as the Yuan family, but there are also a lot of them, but there is no one who dares to take a knife to settle accounts with Liu Bei, and I don't know if they all know that Liu Bei has been on the battlefield and is a fierce man who saves Lu Zhi with a hundred horses, so he doesn't dare.

Bah!

A bunch of rats.

But Liu Bei didn't have the heart to engage in a low-end battle with these stupid insects for the time being, and the young scholars of the ancient literature school would help him come out to relieve his hatred.

His main energy now is actually on Dongyuan.

To be precise, it was placed on the intelligence department outside of Dongyuan against Luoyang.

Liu Bei really intervened in the work of Dongyuan and became one of the founders of Dongyuan, and according to the division of labor discussed between him and Zhang Rang, Liu Bei was responsible for intelligence collection outside Luoyang, and Zhang Rang was only interested in Luoyang's intelligence.

Because he thinks that Luoyang is the best of the whole Han in the world, and mastering Luoyang is equivalent to mastering the Han Dynasty, mastering Luoyang, and any information can be known.

Moreover, in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, the local political situation of taking the county as the country also made it more difficult for the intelligence personnel in Luoyang to carry out their work, and it was as difficult as rebuilding the Han dynasty to create a nationwide intelligence network.

Therefore, Zhang Rang takes it for granted that he will not engage in home advantage, but he will have to fight hard away from home, isn't this a sacrifice of the end?

Therefore, he was not interested in intelligence gathering outside of Luoyang, and he did not even plan to allocate manpower to target areas outside Luoyang in the first place.

But Liu Bei doesn't think so.

He talked a little about the previous robbery of horses by Cheng Dazhi's group, and connected it with the Taiping Dao, which was booming in the Jizhou area, thinking that the Taiping Dao people were plotting against him.

He wanted to persuade the upper echelons of the Eastern Han Dynasty to take action against the Taiping Dao in advance, and strive to solve the Taiping Dao forces all over the states in advance, so as to avoid the full-scale outbreak of the Taiping Dao Rebellion.

"Previously, the Taiping Dao people had rebelled in Jizhou, and were pacified and captured by the local government, but they were fished out later, but looking at what they did, they obviously didn't get any lessons, and there was even a great possibility of rebellion."

Zhang Rang was surprised and incomprehensible about this.

"How can you pay as much attention to this kind of thing as Yang Ci? And even if there is such a thing, it is also a matter of the local county, what does it have to do with us? Is there anything in the local county that is unwilling to let us reach out, but we have to take care of something that happens? ”
