Liu Bei really has nothing to say about the political consciousness of eunuchs.

If the local government doesn't let you interfere, you just don't interfere?

No wonder Liu Hong said to others that he was too shou of Luoyang.

Power is not innate, you have to fight for it! Where does power come from?

With the county as the country and the double monarch, this is to engage in division in the Ming Dynasty, and the rebellion in the Ming Dynasty, any emperor with a little ambition should not admit it, and should work hard to reverse it.

Otherwise, what kind of unification is it?

Just call it the Holy Roman Empire!

Liu Bei didn't want to say these words for the time being, but Zhang Rang said that Yang Ci also paid attention to this kind of thing, which made Liu Bei a little curious.

After learning more, Zhang Rang told Liu Bei that as early as two years ago, Yang Ci, who was Situ at the time, was worried about the affairs of Taiping Dao.

He believed that there were signs of movement of the Taiping Daoists who had migrated and gathered in a certain place, and that there were traces of rebellion, so he summoned Liu Tao, a Peng, and proposed that the local government should intervene to repatriate the relocated Taiping Taoists to their hometowns, so as to weaken the power of disintegrating the Taiping Dao.

If Zhang Jiao refuses or resists, the imperial court is famous and can crusade against him, and the problem of the Taiping Daoists can be solved relatively easily.

Liu Tao agreed with Yang Ci's opinion, so Yang Ci and the then Sikong Zhang Ji and Weiwei Liu Kuan wrote this suggestion into a chapter and wrote it to Liu Hong, but because it didn't take long for Yang Ci to be dismissed because of the vision of heaven and earth, this piece stayed in the palace without Liu Hong knowing.

Liu Bei was a little surprised when he heard this, but he didn't expect that in addition to him, there were actually people who were wary of Taiping Dao and Zhang Jiao earlier.

But from a certain point of view, Zhang Jiao had already begun to guide the Taiping Daoists to consciously migrate to various places as early as two years ago, instead of staying in the local area, is this a transfer of troops?

Liu Bei asked Zhang Rang why he didn't show this piece to Liu Hong, and Zhang Rang looked at Liu Bei with the eyes of a fool.

"Why should you show your majesty something that is nothing? You don't really think there's anything in Taiping Road, do you? The Taiping Daoists practice the art of Huang Lao, which is to lead people to goodness, not to cause any trouble, otherwise how can there be so many officials and eunuchs in Luoyang City who also believe in Taiping Dao? ”

Liu Bei was silent for a while.

"Zhang Changshi, what do you think Taiping Dao is?"

"When Emperor Xiaohuan was still there, he believed in Huang Lao's learning, and I also learned a lot at that time, and I understood a lot."

Zhang Rang said: "It's not just me, many eunuchs in the palace have learned Huang Lao's learning, and Taiping Dao mainly pays attention to Huang Lao's learning, I heard that many people have kept in touch with Zhang Jiao now, and Zhang Jiao's reputation is not small even in Luoyang."

You said that if Zhang Jiao had the intention of usurping rebellion, would we people not be able to find out? Taking a step back, if he is really ambitious, once something happens, what do you think will happen to these people in the world who are involved in Taiping Dao? Will not all the eunuchs in the palace suffer? ”

Liu Bei was speechless for a moment.

It's all good luck in the world of Jiazi, and you still can't find out?

Liu Bei remembered that after the Taiping Road Incident was quelled, a group of eunuchs who were ready to cooperate with Zhang Jiaoli to kill Liu Hong were found in the palace, and Zhang Rang seemed to be involved, but he didn't know how this guy escaped the disaster and survived.

But no matter from what point of view, Liu Bei didn't feel that Zhang Rang had the reason and need to betray Liu Hong.

He is one of Liu Hong's most trusted and relied on eunuchs, they all take him as their father, they all have glory and wealth, and there is an "emperor's son", who is full of food and supports the pole to rebel against a god stick and overthrow his "emperor's son"?

How much benefit does Zhang Jiao have to come up with in order to say that Zhang Rang betrayed Liu Hong?

In addition to the issue of faith, Liu Bei really couldn't think of any other reason.

But Zhang Rang doesn't seem to be a devout Taiping believer.

He was just a devout believer in the interests of the people.

As for some other eunuchs with low status, it is not incomprehensible that Zhang Jiaoce is the opposite, because the eunuchs are not monolithic, and they themselves have to compete for power and profit.

But whether to say it or not, I can't say for sure.

Because Liu Hong's candidate for Tuo Gu is not any of the ten permanent servants, but the rising star Jian Shuo.

It stands to reason that it is the most normal choice for Liu Hong to entrust his successor to Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong, the pair of eunuchs who have followed him for the longest time, why did he choose to entrust it to Jian Shuo in the end?

If you count the fact that Zhang Rang and others were proven to have dealings with Taiping Dao after the Taiping Road incident, we can explain the unusual aspects of this incident a little.

It is estimated that there is no real collusion, but the dealings for specific interests in private are indispensable, Zhang Rang is estimated to be yellow mud falling into the crotch of his pants, not is also, so that Liu Hong no longer dares to believe him wholeheartedly.

So Liu Bei didn't talk too deeply to Zhang Rang in private, but went directly to Liu Hong.

He is the second person in charge of the East Garden, and this status makes him qualified to meet Liu Hong directly beyond the eunuchs.

"Not only in Jizhou, Taiping Daoist people are widely distributed in Qingzhou, Xuzhou, Yanzhou, Yuzhou and other places, Taiping Daoist people are all over the north and south of the river, and the people led by them have a precedent of rebellion failure, unruly, a little careless, there is a possibility of rebellion again, the minister thinks, this matter has to be investigated."

After meeting Liu Hong, Liu Bei talked about this matter a little.

To Liu Bei's surprise, Liu Hong was also not interested in this matter, thinking that the current affairs in Luoyang were the most important things, and without Luoyang, other things were not important.

Taiping Dao is even more inconsequential, competing for power with scholars is the most important thing, Liu Hong also persuaded Liu Bei to put more energy into competing for power with scholars, and not to think about those who have or don't.

This idea is not much different from that of eunuchs.

Liu Bei really thought that Liu Hong's political level had improved, but the level was still that level.

Liu Bei had no choice but to find Zhang Rang again, saying that he had no suitable manpower at present, and wanted to seconded some manpower with Zhang Rang to investigate the situation of Taiping Road and find out the bottom of Taiping Dao.

Regarding Liu Bei's inexplicable interest in Taiping Dao, Zhang Rang inexplicably had the idea of mentioning Liu Bei.

So he really mentioned Liu Bei a little.

"You doubt this and that, but I think that if you really doubt it, you will be the most unfortunate one, and your fate will not be better than Chao Mistake."

Liu Bei was stunned.

"What do you mean by that?"

"Do you know how many people in Luoyang City believe in the Taiping Dao? What are they? Not to mention anything else, there are several eunuchs in the palace who have a lot to do with Taiping Dao, and I have also privately heard that some people directly believe in Taiping Dao.

The eunuchs in the palace are still like this, not to mention those famous men and women inside and outside the court? If Taiping Dao really intends to rebel, how many people do you know how many people will suffer? ”

"Then how could I be unlucky? I ......"

Liu Bei opened his mouth and suddenly realized something.

Zhang Rang looked at Liu Bei's expression, and his heart was secretly refreshed.

"Got it? It's not too stupid, even if the Taiping Dao rebels and those people are implicated, there are always some high-powered people who will not be implicated, but the danger is still real, of course they will be angry, at that time, what will happen to you who stabbed this matter? ”

Liu Bei pursed his lips and bowed his head silently.

Zhang Rang was even happier when he saw Liu Bei with this expression for the first time.

"Not to mention that the Taiping Dao leads people to goodness, and it is beneficial to the country to learn the art of Huang Lao, even if it really rebels, what does it have to do with you? If you don't stab it, he's so dignified, as soon as you go and stab it, okay, he really rebelled, and when the time comes, do you think you are a hero or a sinner?

Scholars, what is particular about a mouth, like our eunuchs, in the imperial court, what they practice is the power of reversing black and white to kill people, you are now the hope of the future of the ancient literature school, but when the time comes, do you think the ancient literature school will protect you?

Those who have profited from the Taiping Dao themselves, those who have a good impression of the Taiping Dao, those who have never believed that the Taiping Dao will rebel, do you think they will show mercy to your subordinates because you are Lu Zhi's disciple?

If you are Yang Ci, forget it, the third world and the third duke, a famous family in the world, although slightly inferior to the Yuan family, it is also a protégé and a former official all over the world, something happened to provoke public anger, and his own protégé and former official ran for him, what about you? You Zhuo County Zhuo County Liu Clan has not yet gained momentum! ”
