Liu Hong thought silently for a while, and seemed to have come up with his own answer.

After getting the answer, Liu Hong let out a long sigh and rubbed his temples.

"In this world, why can't you be more stable and let me live a peaceful and comfortable life for a few days? Xuande, Xuande, come back quickly, if you don't come back, I really can't stand it! ”

Liu Bei grabbed Liu Bei's hand and sighed for a long time, which looked like a husband who longed for a business trip to come home quickly to comfort his deep resentful wife.

So Liu Bei got goosebumps.

However, Liu Bei thought about Liu Hong's many life evaluations, full of malice, extravagance, greed and love for money, mediocrity, appointment of traitors, selling official beards, etc., etc., but he didn't say that he liked men.

Liu Hong should still like women.

Liu Bei relieved his heart a little.

Fortunately, a major problem of the old Liu family's ancestors has not been highlighted here by Liu Hong, which is not bad.

After that, Liu Hong discussed with Liu Bei about selling salt to make money and getting the inheritance from Lu Zhi, and wished Liu Bei to complete the task when he came back this time, and then go back to Liangzhou as soon as possible to stabilize the situation, and then go back to Luoyang as soon as possible to help him deal with the problem.

"If you can stabilize Liangzhou and successfully return to Luoyang after successfully ending your tenure as a pastor in Liangzhou, I will be able to be an upright and upright minister, so that you can be in charge of the government, so that I can really rest assured that I will be the son of peace!" Xuande, don't live up to my expectations, hurry up! ”

Liu Hong's resentful expression on his face really made Liu unbearable.

Liu Bei could feel that Liu Hong was not painting a pie.

After experiencing the benefits of his own external brain, he never wanted to go back to the way he used to be, and he was extremely disgusted with the many complicated things that did not go well now.

He only wants the benefits of the ending, and he doesn't want to bear the troubles of the process.

He needs a loyal and capable person to solve all the intermediate processes for him, directly omit everything, send the last piece of the most delicious pie to his mouth to feed him, and then wipe his mouth intimately.

For this reason, he didn't mind stuffing a whole piece of serious flatbread into Liu Bei's mouth and forcing him to eat it.

If you don't eat it, you can't do it

What else can Liu Bei say?

"Trusted by Your Majesty, the ministers will go to the soup for Your Majesty, and there is no excuse for death!"

After leaving the palace, on the way back, Zhang Rangji talked to Liu Bei about the recent Luoyang experience collected in Dongyuan, and some things about the salt affairs of Sanfu, and after the two exchanged some opinions, Zhang Rang talked about Yuan's affairs.

"I got the news before that Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu went to the battlefield, I think it's quite strange, Yuan family, why do you want to go to the battlefield? Even if they lie down, they can be clothed and fed for the rest of their lives, so why bother to go to the battlefield? ”

Liu Bei frowned.

"Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu went to war?"

"Well, I heard that Yuan Kui arranged it."

Zhang Rang said slowly: "Not long after the news of your defeat of the Xianbei people came back, Yuan Kui contacted many people and spent a lot of money to arrange Yuan Shu in the position of General Huben Zhonglang, and after that, Yuan Shao accepted He Jin's call and became a subordinate official of He Jin's General's Mansion.

This time the two went to the battlefield, it was arranged by He Jin, after a big battle, I heard that Yuan Shu had no ability, and it was faster to escape than to rush into battle, but Yuan Shao was a little capable, and it is said that he was still the key hero of the previous war when our army was able to draw with the thief army, and he rushed against the tide of defeat and turned the tide of the battle.

That is, the battle was not won, His Majesty meant that the merits and demerits were offset, Yuan Shu was nothing, Yuan Shao was very dissatisfied when he heard it, and Yuan Kui was not happy, he was moving around during this time, spending a lot of money, hoping to give Yuan Shao a credit and promote him, looking quite urgent. ”

"The Yuan family was quite stable before, why was he suddenly so anxious? And let Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu's two sons go to the battlefield? ”

Liu Bei asked with some confusion: "There must be a demon when things go wrong, is there anything worth paying attention to in Luoyang City recently?" ”

"If you want to say it, you have it."

Zhang Rang smiled: "I can't say that it has nothing to do with you, just a few days ago, Zheng Xuan went to the resignation form, to resign from the position of doctor and waiter, and prepare to return to his hometown, His Majesty has already retained it once, yesterday afternoon, Zheng Xuan went on the second recital, and His Majesty is retaining it for the second time." ”

"What? Zheng Gong is going to resign? ”

Liu Bei was stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted, and then connected the news before and after, and roughly came to a conclusion.

"If I'm not mistaken, the one who took over from Zheng Gong as the leader of the Ancient Literature School should be my teacher, right?"

Zhang Rang nodded.

"It's easy to talk to smart people, that's right, it's your teacher, according to the information I have received, there should be more support for this matter within the ancient literature school.

At present, almost half of the scholars in Luoyang City should also know the news, they don't have much feeling about Lu Zhi's replacement of Zheng Xuan, and a small number of people are talking about it, and it is not interesting. ”

Liu Bei was silent for a while.

If you say this, everything can be explained.

Zheng Xuan was about to abdicate, and he didn't want to stay in Luoyang City anymore, so he promoted Lu Zhi to take over as the leader of the ancient literature school.

And this decision undoubtedly gave Yuan a lot of stimulation.

As the top wealthy family of the fourth and third dukes, the Yuan family is equal to Lu Zhi's status in the field of Confucianism, but they will still cling to the concept of origin, although Lu Zhi's status is now equal to theirs, but his background is not as good as the Yuan family.

The fourth and third dukes of the Yuan family were born noblely, with a father, grandfather, and grandfather who were the third duke, and they were wealthy for many generations, but Lu Zhike never served as the father of the third duke.

Yuan may accept to be on an equal footing with Lu Zhi, but Yuan must not accept Lu Zhi's leadership and become Lu Zhi's subordinate in the academic sense.

It's enough to be the emperor's subordinate, how can you still be Lu Zhi's subordinate?

So Yuan must make a move.

And the reason why Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu began to take the military road, Liu Bei guessed that it should have a lot to do with him.

His military exploits are too dazzling, and his status is also very high, he has surpassed Dong Zhuo, Yuan feels that it may not be possible to rely on Dong Zhuo alone, and there are no other military experts, so there is no way but to go on his own.

Yuan Shao was the concubine, and Yuan Shu was the second son, so these two people were chosen as the assaulters of the Yuan clan to make a breakthrough in the military aspect.

And the eldest son Yuan Ji is still steadily being his servant.

It's so calculated.

"What are you thinking?"

Zhang Rang saw that Liu Bei didn't speak for a while, and was a little curious.

Liu Bei looked at Zhang Rang and said slowly: "I'm thinking, maybe soon we won't have to be obsessed with the balance between the modern literary school and the ancient literature school, the modern literary school is no longer good, and the ancient literary school is estimated to be about to start a wave of battle between the Yuan family and the Lu family."

Judging from the current situation, the modern literary school and the ancient literary school can also be regarded as chess opponents, one has suffered a heavy blow and is about to fall, and the other does not think about killing the opponent immediately, and he can't wait to start confrontation within himself, which is really a good pair of opponents. ”

Zhang Rang blinked.

"Yuan and Lu? Are you saying that the Yuan clan does not intend to recognize Lu Zhi's status? ”

"Yuan's group of fools with eyes above the top care more about their background, those who are not as good as them are all ants, my teacher is not the father of the third prince, do you think Yuan's can afford my teacher?"

Liu Bei sneered: "The stupidest thing in the world is to judge the level by birth, once the link of the country's selection and appointment is invaded by the concept of high and low, it is a sign of the country's demise, and the group that judges success or failure by the level of birth will eventually fall into a situation of falling apart, without exception." ”
