After the end of the "spoils sharing meeting", the time was already the second half of the night, and Liu Bei, who had not had a good rest for a long time, was now very tired, and it stands to reason that this was a night that should be rested.

But this night, Liu Bei didn't plan to sleep anymore.

Or rather, he doesn't have time to sleep, he still has a lot to do.

He came to the army station outside Luoyang City, washed his face with cold water, stimulated his spirits, and planned to explain the previous results to his subordinates in the first step, and then go to find others.

When Liu Bei returned, Cao Cao, Gai Xun, Zhen Yan, Yan Wen and Jia Xu, Xun You and other subordinates who participated in the coup d'état and the subordinates in the Hussar General's Mansion had been waiting in the barracks for a long time.

According to Liu Bei's orders, they have all done it, the statistics of the battle results, the detention of prisoners, the cleaning on the battlefield, etc., they have all done it, and they returned to the barracks, looking forward to Liu Bei's return.

Liu Bei briefly explained to them a series of events about Liu Hong's death, which surprised his subordinates.

Some of his subordinates with a background in the sun showed a sad look, such as Cao Cao.

"Your Majesty is in full bloom in spring and autumn, why ......"

Liu Bei patted Cao Cao on the shoulder.

"When His Majesty was dying, we fulfilled his last wish for him, Your Majesty passed away with peace of mind, and what we did was worthy of Your Majesty's trust, so we don't need to be too sad."

The subordinates all thought that what Liu Bei said made sense.

After a moment of silence, everyone, including Cao Cao, changed their mindset and began to focus on more important matters.

For example, the distribution of benefits.

This time, Liu Bei led them to complete the most important task and made the greatest contribution, so there must be no less benefits, and even the position above 10,000 people under one person is not impossible to reach out and touch.

Of course, they were still conservative, Liu Bei was unceremoniously, he directly reached out and grabbed the position.

"When Your Majesty was dying, he appointed me as the new general, overseeing the military affairs of the world, and ranking above the three dukes."

The subordinates were overjoyed by this and congratulated Liu Bei one after another, congratulating him on becoming the first person below the emperor of the Han Dynasty and the first person in the military circles.

Of course, Liu Bei himself became the first person below the Son of Heaven, and he would not forget to fight for the interests of his subordinates.

So Liu Bei then recounted the process of fighting for power and profit with Zhang Rang, Dong Zhong and Jian Shuo, and informed his subordinates of the benefits he had won.

To be honest, even Zhen Yan, who had the highest expectations for Liu Bei, didn't expect that Liu Bei would directly open his mouth to the point where the west of Luoyang would be at his disposal.

Everyone was shocked by this, and what shocked them even more was that Zhang asked Dong Zhong and Jian Shuo to approve this request.

All other interests are not counted, and all the west of Luoyang belongs to Liu Bei to deal with this matter, which can already be regarded as making a lot of money.

"They really agreed?"

Jia Xu asked in disbelief: "Do they really have no opinion on the land of Kansai?" The west of Luoyang is handed over to you to deal with, does it really matter to them? ”

"Of course they don't have no opinion, but they know better what I'm capable of."

Liu Bei said with a smile: "And the most important thing at present, and the main reason why I can achieve this goal, is because this matter needs to be implemented by ourselves, and their verbal promises do not mean that they can really do it." ”

Liu Bei's words were a little stunned, and even the senior staff officers didn't understand it, let alone Zhang Fei, Dong Huang and other generals.

They really didn't get it.

So Liu Bei patiently explained the doorway here.

The biggest credit for this Luoyang incident actually belongs to Liu Hong, the son of heaven, but Liu Hong died before he could make any arrangements after the war, and although the crucial edict could be drawn up by them, it was embarrassing because of the lack of Liu Hong's personal announcement.

If Liu Hong can live to announce the position of Liu Bei and others, establish the current system of four auxiliary ministers, and then die, then the system of four auxiliary ministers can be justifiably established.

But Liu Hong didn't insist until that time, so without Liu Hong's personal certification, there was only a testament, and there would be some variables in this matter.

Liu Bei and the other four should naturally take over Liu Hong's greatest military exploits, but the court bureaucrats who have the strongest talent in fighting for power and profit will also have a lot of ideas about this.

Only Liu Bei has a strong prestige and strength in the foursome, and the other three do not have this ability, so once the officials in the court decide to attack the foursome, the foursome lacks the ability to attack the officials except Liu Bei.

At present, Liu Bei's foundation in Luoyang is unstable, and he still does not have the strength to fight against the entire Luoyang court alone, and he needs the sharing and help of the other three.

In short, the four of them have already divided their interests internally, but this division of interests has not yet been recognized by the court officials who still have a certain weight in Luoyang.

They have not yet accepted the fact that the interests are all divided among the four auxiliary ministers, and once they are ready to reach out to these interests, then there will inevitably be a dispute with the plan of the foursome, and then the four auxiliary ministers will be ready to fight with the major factions of the court officials.

Only by winning this internal battle can their distribution of interests be truly implemented, and at the moment it is an intention and a plan, which has not yet been truly implemented.

The subordinates understood.

Liu Bei spoke very clearly and simply, and there was no reason why they couldn't understand it.

Obviously, Liu Bei believes that the most important thing at the moment is to prevent the counterattack of the court officials, although the military power is in their hands, but it can only be used as a deterrent, and cannot use a knife to kill.

They killed people for a reason before, but if they killed people again, they lacked a legitimate reason and Liu Hong's backing.

In the final analysis, if Liu Hong can hold on for another half a day and determine the system of the four auxiliary ministers, this series of turmoil will be avoided after that.

However, this is not necessarily a bad thing.

It's not okay to kill people casually, Liu Bei is not a wild version of Dong Zhuo after all, he can't be Xiangguo, and he can't be everyone's master, so he still needs to use his vertical and horizontal means.

"Prince, in the current situation, the court officials still don't know that the Son of Heaven has died, you should act immediately, find people who are willing to support you, ask them to stand on your side, and make sure everything at the tomorrow court meeting, and take those opponents by surprise, so that all the results can be accepted."

"Oh? It seems that Wen He has a plan? ”

Liu Bei looked at Jia Xu with a smile and asked, "Wen He, let's talk about it, what plan do you have?" ”

Jia Xu stretched out one hand and spread his five fingers.

"The Controversy Between Ancient and Modern Texts."

Liu Bei nodded with satisfaction.

"Wenhe deserves to be my good Zuo, in a word."

The two looked at each other and smiled.

The others looked at each other.

And soon, Xun You reacted.

He remembered the controversy between modern and ancient texts that was boiling in Luoyang City, and the grand occasion at that time was vivid.

"I see, too much time has passed, and you have almost forgotten that the prince is still an important person in the ancient literature school."

Many people don't understand what they are talking about, because they really don't know much about the dispute between ancient and modern texts, and if they want to understand this matter, they need a certain threshold.

And people who know a lot about this are also aware of what Liu Bei is going to do one after another.

"A few years ago, the dispute between the ancient and modern texts almost started because of me, and then, because I left Luoyang, the dispute between the ancient and modern texts fell silent, and people did not pay much attention to the dispute between the ancient and modern texts.

However, I don't think so, the controversy between modern and ancient literature is not over, the modern literary school is still there, and the modern literary classics and ancient literary classics are still parallel, which is not the original goal of the ancient literary school, so since I have become a general as an important person in the ancient literary school, of course, I want to help the ancient literary school completely defeat the modern literary school.

However, the modern literary school is not completely without any power, they still have some strength, and there are some people who stubbornly adhere to the rotten modern literary classics, which is unbearable for me, but it is difficult for me to defeat them alone, I need the help of many people, and even more, power. ”
