Looking at the back of Zhang Rang leaving in a hurry, Liu Bei was a little emotional.

Eunuchs, the ancient literature school, and the modern literature school, these three political groups in Luoyang City, no matter what their position, identity, and starting point are, one is counted as one, and they are all the culprits who caused this catastrophe.

Their greed and self-righteous arrogance are the fuel for all this acceleration, and if they can have a little conscience, a little look at the suffering of the people, and a little profit, they will not let the situation come to this point.

By the way, and you, my Imperial Majesty.

You are also to blame.

Seriously, Liu Hong is not stupid at all, but he is too greedy and lazy.

It can be said that his feet have been on the accelerator, and he is not even willing to lift the car called the Eastern Han Empire to slow down, blindly fantasizing that there are still many roads in front of this car, and completely ignoring the cliffs that are close at hand.

He could have done so much more.

So, through these years of observation and thinking, Liu Bei came to a conclusion.

With you insects, how can we do a good job in this kingdom called Han?

He assassinated the three Zhang Jiao brothers because he clearly knew that this uprising could not succeed, so he didn't want the Taiping Road uprising to cause too much damage.

But the culprits of all this are not the three Zhang Jiao brothers and Taiping Dao, but these people in Luoyang City.

Liu Bei is very fair, he has always thought that he is a fair person, so these people in Luoyang City must also pay a price.

There is no cure for them, and there is no other way to save their souls, which have fallen to the extreme, except destruction.

Liu Bei didn't want to sit on the sidelines, let history flow naturally, and finally complete their elimination through the too tragic way of warlord secession.

To eliminate them, chaos is needed, but chaos does not necessarily have to be warlord secession, and the side effects of warlord secession are too great.

The Eastern Han Empire was currently in a state of serious local separation, and the trend of political independence with counties as states was very serious, but it had not yet reached the state of warlord secession.

It is much easier to deal with political separation in such a state, or to a limited extent in the form of a very small number of warlords, than in a state of full-blown warlordism.

So now, Liu Bei is seriously thinking about the script of destroying them in combination with the subsequent historical process, and thinking about the script that will replace them after destroying them.

After thinking about it, he realized that it is easy to destroy, and many scripts can be adopted, but it is not easy to replace them.

As a person with pursuits, destroying them is the means, and replacing them is the goal, otherwise what is the difference with Dong Zhuo?

Although these guys are rotten and incurable, they are professional in terms of governance, and it is not easy to leave them to rebuild a ruling team that can take over the power of the whole country.

And there is an important premise in it.

That is, before the destruction comes, Liu Bei needs to personally pull up his own two sets of civil and military teams with a certain amount of experience and scale, as well as an elite army.

Otherwise, how could he take over what had been left behind by those who had been destroyed?

As for the specific operation mode of this matter, Liu Bei thought about it and felt that Dong Zhuo's mode was quite good.

He actually didn't dislike some of the things that Dong Zhuo did after he entered Luoyang, for the scholars, eunuchs and the royal family, Dong Zhuo was their current newspaper, no matter how bloody they were abused, Liu Bei took it for granted.

There are too many iniquities, and the wicked have their own evildoers.

But Dong Zhuo's model is problematic, and the problem is still big.

The Eastern Han Empire was like a terminally ill patient, and the most significant lesion was in the head.

He needed a precise surgical operation, which needed the world's top surgeons to remove the necrotic and rotten body of the head, in order to save his life and slowly restore his body.

However, the Eastern Han Empire was in a hurry to go to the doctor and chose Dong Zhuo, but he didn't think that Dong Zhuo, the doctor, was a veterinarian, too rough and cruel.

He only cut, not only blood, but the operation was as fierce as a tiger, almost cutting off the patient's head, and the patient was in direct shock, he didn't even have a blood transfusion operation, he began to use a knife on the body, almost killing people.

Dong Zhuo's model is worse because he has an army and no team, Dong Zhuo's team does not have the ability to take over the national power at all, and Dong Zhuo himself does not have that ability and awareness.

He defeated Yuan Kui by pure chance, was lucky to take power, and then he wanted to be a man and a master, and he didn't think about anything else.

Therefore, Dong Zhuo was bound to fail, and the self-survival of the Eastern Han Empire also failed.

Liu Bei believes that the guiding strategy of Dong Zhuo's model is meaningful, because Dong Zhuo is the same as Zhang Jiao in a sense, they do not belong to the mainstream vested interests group at that time, and they all belong to marginal groups that have been excluded and ignored, which has a certain positive significance.

However, Dong Zhuo's own ability is too poor to operate this high-end bureau, and this opportunity to revolutionize the world is wasted.

Therefore, Liu Bei's bold design planned to intervene in the turmoil at a certain time period, and actually replace Dong Zhuo and operate the operation himself as an excellent surgeon.

While removing the decay and necrosis of the body, he hoped that he could keep the side effects as tolerable as possible.

It is necessary to cut it, to remove it, to stop the bleeding, to transfuse it, to save his life.

This is not a big deal.

As the founding ancestor of the Zuo Seventh Inheritance Family of the Spring and Autumn Period, and as a supernova of the ancient literature school, he already has such qualifications in terms of identity, and what he lacks is nothing more than time.

He needs time and ladders.

And in the next year or so, there will be two wars, one is the Taiping Dao Rebellion and the other is the Liangzhou Rebellion, which are his best ladders.

He will seize these two opportunities and will not let go of any of them.

Looking at the snowflakes falling outside the window, he took a sip of wine, and Liu Bei's face showed a smile that was colder than snowflakes.

As Liu Bei expected, the next situation did not deviate at all.

Several things happen at the same time.

The first is the eunuch group.

After Liu Hong's suggestion, a group of people from the eunuch group led by Zhang Rang ruthlessly opened the knife internally.

Their surgery is a real surgery, not a three-glass punishment surgery, but a real killing operation.

The internal survival rules of the eunuch group are different from the survival rules of the scholars who still have a veil of warmth among the scholars, they are more pure, not very emotional, and they are just stepping on others to climb up.

They are not bound by so many Confucian rules internally, and their actions are far more thorough than those of scholars, which is an important reason why eunuchs can fight against scholars, and it is also an important reason why scholars hate eunuchs.

It's just that at this moment, no one cares about that.

Zhang Rang led the East Garden, joined forces with Zhao Zhong and other allies, and launched a purge campaign within the eunuchs, and they used mutual informants and secret investigations to successfully take down more than a dozen eunuchs with heads and faces, including two Zhongchang attendants.

There are really only ten of the ten permanent servants left, and they are the ten permanent attendants.

Then there is the decisive raid on the house, and the speed of action is staggering.

In the end, all the wealth they had accumulated was confiscated - as far as Liu Bei knew, the so-called confiscation was nothing more than the eunuchs who survived the victory to take more than half, divide it among each other, and give the remaining half to the emperor Liu Hong.

And because there is only one emperor, and the amount of money is really not small, Liu Hong does not feel that he has suffered a loss, but is very happy and feels that he has earned blood.

So hello, hello, everyone, the alliance between the emperor and the eunuch group has been consolidated in a certain sense, and the imperial power is unprecedentedly harmonious.
