Yuan Kui didn't mention the matter of recording Shangshushi, and the meaning in his words was that the emperor could try to abolish Yang Ci's right to record Shangshushi, and this guy didn't make any credit anyway.

This letter angered Yang Ci, so at the behest of Yang Ci, Wei Wei Zhang Xi and Yilang Huandian sent a table to Liu Hong to refute Yuan Kui's proposal.

Yuan Kui was very annoyed, but it was inconvenient to go out in person, so he instigated Xun Shuang, Guanglu Doctor Ma Riyan and Cai Yong, who had just returned to the capital, to go to the table together to refute Zhang Xi and Huan Dian's performance.

The two sides launched a new round of performance wars, refuting each other's opinions, accusing each other of harboring personal grudges, abolishing public affairs for personal gain, and so on.

The fierce battle between the two is in full swing, and in the court, Liu Hong has his own opinion on this matter.

"It's a good idea to let Lu Zhi stay in Jizhou as a pastor in Jizhou, he has experience in this area, and I also believe in his ability to govern the place, the problems of Jiujiang County and Lujiang County were handled very well, if he stayed in Jizhou, it would save the trouble of re-electing Jizhou Assassin History, but Xuande ......"

Liu Hong pondered for a while and looked at Zhang Rang beside him.

"Ah Gong, what do you think about this matter?"

Zhang Rang thought about it for a few days, and a few days ago, Liu Bei sent someone to tell him that he had persuaded Lu Zhi not to report that he had violated the rules in many industries in Jizhou, and he had some plans in his heart.

"Your Majesty, this mainly depends on what you think, in the final analysis, the focus of the dispute between the two factions is still on Lu Zhi, as for Liu Bei, it may just be incidental, he is too young after all."

Liu Hong nodded.

"I think so too, they may care more about Lu Zhi than Xuande, but I'm the opposite, I care more about Xuande than Lu Zhi."

Liu Hong said this, smiled, and said: "But speaking of which, looking at the momentum outside this time, it is obvious that once Lu Zhi comes back, he is bound to ascend to the position of the third prince." ”

Zhang Rang nodded.

"Lu Zhi has been an official for many years, has many military exploits, has served as an official of 2,000 stones and the imperial court, has profound qualifications, and now he has achieved the home of the valve, and his prestige is growing, once he returns to Luoyang, the ancient literature school will inevitably promote Lu Zhi to ascend to the position of the third prince, and it is very likely that he will not give up until he reaches his goal."

"Ah Gong also thinks that Lu Zhi is worthy of the position of the third prince?"

"Justice is at ease in the hearts of the people, the hearts of the people are at ease with the scholars, and the scholars see it this way, and that's it."

Zhang Rang said with a smile: "But whether to appoint or not is still a matter that Your Majesty can decide, no matter how much they push, if Lu Zhi can't come back, it will be a waste." ”

Liu Hong looked at Zhang Rang for a while, and grinned.

"Ah Gong and I have gone together, how good is the current situation? The two factions are fighting, and no one can help anyone, but once Lu Zhi comes back, I'm afraid the situation will not be stable, Yang Ci is already old, how can he bear Lu Zhi and Yuan Kui alone? ”

Zhang Rang nodded again and again, and at the same time felt a little emotion in his heart.

Liu Hong has grown.

Under the influence of Liu Bei, Liu Hong seems to have really grown a little, and the emperor has become more and more decent.

Although he is not a natural monarch with outstanding talents, even if he is only a middle-aged person, if he uses it in the right direction, he is quite imperial.

Fortunately, he was still willing to trust their group of eunuchs.

Zhang Rang thought so.

"Has Your Majesty made a decision?"

"The decision has been made."

Liu Hong suddenly smiled: "Ah Gong, what Xuande said is really right, the two factions are fighting, and I, the son of heaven, can be stable, no matter what choice is made, there will definitely be people willing to support, pull a faction, fight a faction, and don't worry about them releasing their previous suspicions, this feeling is really good." ”

Liu Hong finally made his choice.

With his thinking and cognition, he believes that at present, it is not in his interests to let Lu Zhi return to Luoyang, once Lu Zhi returns, it will make the power imbalance between the ancient literature school and the modern literature school on the surface, and it will make the modern literature school fall into crisis.

He could not allow either school of ancient literature or school of modern literature to gain absolute superiority, completely suppress the other or even annex the other.

When the situation has such a tendency, he must take timely action to reverse the situation and let the situation of the two tigers continue to be maintained.

In other words, Liu Hong decided to adopt Yang Ci's performance suggestion, and Zhang Rang also agreed with this.

The only slight change Liu Hong made was to revise the content about Liu Bei.

He now yearns for the era of Emperor Guangwu, Emperor Ming and Emperor Zhang, and the era when the Son of Heaven dominates everything, and he enjoys the feeling of being respected, admired and needed.

So he needs Liu Bei to be his counselor and plan for him how to go next.

In this case, how could Liu Bei leave him?

But now he is not in a hurry to announce his decision, he wants to let the modern literature school and the ancient literature school quarrel for a while, anyway, this battle is not completely over, Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun still have some work to complete, don't worry, just let them quarrel.

It doesn't hurt to play with them.

Liu Hong was very proud of this idea.

Zhang Rang pondered for a while, and secretly sent someone to Jizhou, preparing to tell Liu Bei about Liu Hong's decision and what happened in Luoyang, so that Liu Bei could be mentally prepared.

By the way, he also wanted to know Liu Bei's opinion on this matter, if Liu Bei had a different opinion on this matter, Zhang Rang felt that he had to tell Liu Hong.

The last cooperation was very pleasant, and Zhang Rang saved a lot of trouble.

He himself knew that things that went beyond the rules were bad, but the problem was that he wasn't alone.

Many people do this in the local area, Liaodong, Jiangnan, Shuzhong, those places where the emperor is far away, and there are not many people who are the emperor of the soil behind closed doors, but only a eunuch like him will be accused if he does such a thing, and everyone else doesn't care.

Just double standard each other!

As for the things that Liu Bei asked him to help operate, it was a little difficult, and it was not easy to kill a sect king, but it was not so difficult to let him lose something.

After Zhang Rang's nonsense and false accusations in Liu Hong's ears, Liu Hong was obviously very dissatisfied with this disgraced clan, and was relatively negative about reinstating him to the throne after the war.

Moreover, at present, there are many debates in the court about how to rectify the place and spend money after the war, and it is estimated that everyone is willing to save an expense by one less king.

Zhang Rang also felt funny in private, Liu Xu, a fool, didn't he inquire about the latest news in Luoyang City? Don't you know the political trend in Luoyang City?

Who is Liu Bei?

Did you offend it?

I can't even offend him!

Zhang Rang also wanted Liu Bei to know his ability, so that he could lay the foundation for continued cooperation between the two sides.

So Zhang Rang sent Zuo Feng to Jizhou again as a secret contact, found Liu Bei in Xindu City, told Liu Bei all these things, and then conveyed Zhang Rang's meaning.

After the victory of the war, Liu Bei thought that the modern literary school would not let Lu Zhi go back so easily, because Lu Zhi was likely to be promoted to the position of the third prince, but he did not expect that when the contradiction between the two sides was so fierce, the ancient literary school actually wanted to seek a lore against Yang Ci.

Yuan Kui, this guy, really deserves to be the king of overturning, he does have great ability, but maybe he is too noble and accustomed to everything, so that he has a certain profound mindset.

He always felt that he could do anything, and that he could do what he wanted to do.

It's no wonder that he died at the hands of Dong Zhuo.

And what made Liu Bei very unhappy was that these guys only wanted Lu Zhi to go back, and they didn't have any opinion on themselves, as if they wanted to give up their own lives to protect Lu Zhi.
