There is only victory and defeat, is there no right or wrong?

What kind of absurdity is this......

But in this court, everyone seems to be doing this.

Lu Zhi was speechless about this, only a wry smile remained.

He was very tired, he was exhausted by the internal disputes within Shangshutai for several days, as Shang Shuling, being on the front line of the confrontation between Yuan Kui and Yang Ci, that feeling was really sour.

But he couldn't be absent.

Liu Bei has done a lot for the school and for himself, and now, it is time for Liu Bei to rein in his edge, and it is time for him, the teacher, to do something for his disciples.

Lu Zhi asked Liu Bei for sick leave with exhaustion and approved Liu Bei's sick leave, so Liu Bei was able to recuperate at home, and at the same time reined in his edge to avoid the increasingly fierce court battles.

This happened to give Liu Bei a lot of free time other than the remote assassination of the three Zhang Jiao brothers.

This free time is either used to accompany his family, or to socialize with Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and others, and continue to expand his social circle.

Cao Cao's current status as a councillor doesn't mean much to him.

In this extremely fierce factional struggle, Cao Cao's identity was embarrassing, and he did not belong to any faction like his family on the surface, so he simply avoided it, behaved with his tail between his legs, and tried not to attract the attention of others.

Yuan Shao and Liu Bei stand on the united front, but he currently has no official position, is still in a state of seclusion, and does not have any impact on the current situation, but constantly laments the changeability of the world.

"The current situation, a few months ago, I would not have dared to think about it."

At the reception, Yuan Shao sighed again and again, and was very helpless about the current situation in Luoyang City.

Xu You, Zhang Miao, He Hao, Wu Qiong and others who participated in the reception also looked a little helpless.

Liu Bei knew why they were helpless.

Because the situation is changing so quickly, the current situation seems that their political group, which is condensed with anti-eunuchs as the core, is a bit out of place and cannot keep up with the course of history.

When Liu Bei joined them in the fourth year of Guanghe, the disaster of the party was still the main contradiction of the Han Dynasty, and the party members were still fleeing everywhere under the threat of eunuchs, which was quite a bit of a struggle to survive, and the struggle between scholars and eunuchs was still very fierce.

But when the time came to Guanghe five years, the situation changed dramatically.

In less than a year, the party system was in vain, especially for the party system that was not the current Wen Zhu family, which was directly canceled.

He Hao is safe, and he has even become an official again.

Zhang Miao is also safe.

Xu You and Wu Qiong, who hated eunuchs every day in the past, suddenly felt that they couldn't find the direction of their lives.

All of a sudden, they were theoretically no longer the enemies of the eunuchs.

Immediately afterwards, the dispute between modern and ancient literature suddenly became the main contradiction in the government of the Han Dynasty, and the scholars split extremely quickly, and the scholars of the modern literary school and the scholars of the ancient literary school all played dog brains with each other, and the scene was called a fierce one.

Yuan Shao followed the Yuan family, originally belonged to the modern literary school, and later jumped directly to the position of the ancient literary school, and his circle of friends was basically cut off from the other modern literary families, and he no longer dared to have any open connection.

A group of people had practiced the techniques of dealing with eunuchs for many years, and they were planning to continue to show their strength in the success that Liu Bei had created for them, but the times suddenly changed, and the direction of the wind changed rapidly.

So much so that He Hao, who had been running constantly to deal with eunuchs, fell into confusion.

He was wondering what he had done all these years, what was the point, the people he couldn't save with all his efforts, and the party that couldn't end, ended so suddenly.

It's as if it never happened.

Then there was the Great War of Modern and Ancient Literature, the scholars were divided, the eunuchs seemed to cease to exist all of a sudden, the scholars became the main force of the struggle, the eunuchs retreated to the second line, and the sense of existence was greatly reduced.

If it weren't for the assassination of the emperor and the rise of Dongyuan, the scholars would still be tearing each other apart.

But although the rise of Dongyuan brought a huge threat to the scholars, the two groups of scholars who had no room for maneuver in the struggle against each other could no longer continue to work together against the eunuchs, and even their current idea was to use the eunuchs to clean up each other.

The scholars of the modern and ancient literary schools, who had been able to interact amicably, could not continue to maintain relations in the open, and even in private.

Under the premise that the two sides are extremely hostile to each other, any public or private dealings are risky, and the elders of each family are constantly reminding the young people in the family to act cautiously and not to tell the truth.

The incident between Lu Zhi and Yang Biao was taken out as a typical example.

used to be friends, but now they are complete enemies, Hongnong Yang's and Zhuojun Lu and Liu's have become irresolvable mortal enemies, and there must be a decisive battle between them.

The song "Visiting Yang Wenxian Doesn't Meet", which used to be popular all over Luoyang, was full of gorgeous fantasy and romance, and was a testimony of friendship, but now that I look at it, there is inexplicably a little more sadness.

A grain of sand of the times fell on a person's body, that is, a five-fingered mountain, which made them unable to move, breathless, and miserable.

In particular, the middle and lower classes of the modern literature school and the middle and upper classes of the ancient literature school have a huge sense of disparity and separation between each other, which makes them fall into a certain confusion and pain.

Yuan Shao's political squad was united with anti-eunuchs as the core, but now, the dispute between modern and ancient texts is the main contradiction, and it is a fight between bayonets, and the grudges and interests between each other have been completely intensified.

This intensification of antagonism has directly shaken the foundation of Yuan Shao's political squad, and the anti-eunuch as a kind of political program no longer has sufficient appeal, cannot resolve the differences between the modern literary school and the ancient literary school, and cannot exert appeal to more scholars.

His original gold-lettered signboard suddenly had no gold content, as if it had never been a piece of gold, but gilded.

Yuan Shao himself was also very confused, and he even felt very frightened.

If it weren't for the Yuan family's soft stature and repeated horizontal jumps, he and Liu Bei would have to become enemies now, and more than half of the members of the political team that Liu Bei had wooed for him would stand on his opposite side.

If this is the case, his newly established political power and fledgling fame will be cut in half, and he will return to the pre-liberation period overnight.

Is this acceptable?

Despite this, the Yuan family's repeated sideways behavior is not without a price.

Externally, the Jinwen faction, led by Hongnong Yang, has mobilized a propaganda machine to stigmatize and attack the Yuan family, exposing their repeated criminal faces.

In the political arena, the relevant officials of the modern literary school are also doing their best to attack Yuan's protégés and former officials, and various political offensives are coming one after another.

For example, in Hebei alone, more than a dozen county and county-level officials who were Yuan's protégés and former officials were impeached on grounds ranging from dereliction of duty to corruption.

At the central level, more than 10 Yuan's own families, protégés, and former officials in various central institutions were also impeached and politically attacked, and the attacks were very ferocious.

Internally, Yuan's backstabbing of the modern literary school at a critical moment and turning the head of the ancient literary school camp was also despised by some protégés and former officials, who thought that this was an act of not taking a firm stance and an act of moral corruption, and they were very dissatisfied.

Even a member of the Yuan family in Runan openly claimed that Yuan Kuide, the leader of the Yuan family, was unworthy of the position, and should step down and get out, hand over the dominance of the Yuan family, and stop the repeated family behavior, so as to save the reputation of the Yuan family.

They almost openly broke with the Yuan forces led by Yuan Kui and did not support Yuan Kui.

At that time, Yuan Kui was facing extremely strong political and moral pressure both internally and externally, and was in a very dangerous situation.

It's hard time anyway.

At the same time, Yuan Shao learned that the Yingchuan Xun family, which had jumped sideways with Yuan Kui, had also been besieged.

Some of the modern literary and scripture families who were also born in Yingchuan have publicly claimed that they are ashamed of the Xun family and are unwilling to continue to associate with the Xun family, and even some in-laws that have been negotiated have been cut off.

Xun Yu and Xun Yu, the next generation leaders of the Xun family, have reached adulthood and have reached the moment of filial piety, but because of this incident, the family planning has been stranded and they have to find another way.

Even the matter of Xun Yu marrying the daughter of the eunuch was brought out again, and it was ridiculed by the people of the time, everyone was ridiculing the Xun family for having a eunuch daughter-in-law, and loudly lamented that the descendants of the god Jun Xun Shu were not good, and the Xun family was about to collapse.

Anyway, after these two families were accepted by the ancient literature school, they were already dead in the modern literature school and their traditional social circles.
