Everything that should be discussed has been discussed, what needs to be done has been done, and it is time for this long day to end.

After that, because everyone hadn't had a good rest for a long time, so in the last bit of free time before dawn, Liu Bei, Zhang Rang and others took a nap in the side hall of the palace and squinted slightly.

Then, as soon as it was dawn, they were called out.

"I haven't been like this for many years, even if I got up early before, I went to bed very early, who would have thought that there would be such a day, I didn't even have to sleep, now if you can give me a bed, I just lie down, I can fall asleep immediately...... Ha ......"

Zhang Rang rubbed his eyes, yawned big, and complained at Liu Bei.

Of course, Liu Bei also yawned and was full of sleepiness, he didn't need a bed, as long as he was given a pillow, he would be able to sleep until he was old now.

But he couldn't, he forcibly controlled his sleepiness, asked people to bring a basin of cold water to wash his face, and forcibly cheered himself up.

"Today's things are done, you can sleep when you want, if you don't do today's things well, you can still sleep? Well, almost, if something happens today, you can sleep forever, why sleep for a long time when you are born? After death, I will sleep for a long time~Hahahahahaha~"

Liu Bei laughed while wiping his face.

When Zhang Rang heard this, he rolled his eyes and didn't say anything.

Liu Bei put on the mighty armor with the help of his personal guards, and then met with his subordinates who entered the palace and arranged for them to wait outside the Chongde Hall in advance, while he entered the main hall and had the last "rehearsal" with the Empress Dowager Dong and others.

The notice to the hundred officials of the imperial court had been in place yesterday night, and the officials who were still alive had been informed that they would arrive at the palace at the hour of the day, and that there would be an important meeting in the palace, and many things that they were eager to know would be announced.

When it came to the end, Empress Dowager Dong was still a little uneasy, and when she saw Liu Bei coming, she breathed a sigh of relief and took the initiative to greet her.

"Xuande, today, it's up to you."

Liu Bei saluted the Empress Dowager Dong.

"This is the duty of the minister, and it is also the minister's promise to the first emperor, and the minister will never live up to the expectations of the first emperor before his death."

"Good, good!"

Empress Dowager Dong, who had finished dressing up, nodded again and again, took a few deep breaths, and her expression became less anxious.

After that, Liu Bei and Dong Zhong and the other three met again and finally determined today's work process.

"You're sure there will be enough people to speak for us, right?"

Zhang Rang looked at Liu Bei: "This is the most important thing, but there must be no omissions, if no one speaks for us at that time, it will be ugly." ”

"Don't worry, if there is an omission, the army will be counted as mine."

Liu Bei nodded and said, "You do your own thing, don't slack off, now is not the time to slack off." ”

"Hmm."

Zhang Rang and the other three nodded together.

After the final rehearsal, Dong Chong called Liu Bei aside and said in a low voice: "Xuande, the He family is crying and making a fuss in the palace and is going on a hunger strike, what should I do?" Can you beat her up and make her be honest? ”

"Let her go, anyway, she is not the queen for a long time, after the new emperor ascends the throne, what to do with her is the queen mother's business, you hand over the He family to the queen mother, don't worry about anything."

Liu Bei replied in a low voice: "It's the prince's argument, you have to be optimistic about him, don't let him find a short-term view, the emperor's last wish is to let him live well, then let him live well." ”

"I know this, don't worry."

Dong nodded, and he had a bottom in his heart.

At the same time, outside the palace gate, the officials who were about to enter the palace to discuss important matters were basically there.

Careful people found that even the smallest and most petty officials came, except for the officials, but all the officials came.

This was a bit unthinkable in the past.

In the past, even if it was a New Year's party and a gift to the emperor, not every official could come, but this time, those small officials who couldn't see people in the past came.

After yesterday's day of chaos, by now, they found that some people had disappeared forever, and as for the reason for the disappearance, of course they also knew.

I was on the wrong side of the team and was purged.

Some harbor some regret, while others gloat a little.

For example, a group of officials who originally belonged to the modern literary school felt schadenfreude.

After the Hedong Crisis, the forces of the modern literary school were severely attacked with the death of Huangfu Song and suffered heavy losses.

Before that, Yang Ci's death and Yang Biao's three-year filial piety had already hit them very hard, although with Huang Wan's entry into the game and slightly improved, but with Huang Wan as the pastor of Yuzhou, the current literary school in the upper echelons of the Luoyang court completely lost its dominance.

So much so that there is no figure in the current literary school in Luoyang who can represent the entire collective, unless Yang Biao completes and returns from filial piety.

At the moment, if you want to say that there is anything that can be represented, then Zhang Xi, the representative of the Zhang clan of Runan Xiyang, who is currently a doctor in Taizhong, and Huan Dian, the representative of the Long Kanghuan clan, who is also a doctor in Taizhong, can barely be counted.

The two of them once held positions in the Nine Qings before and after the Hedong Crisis, but with the military and political defeat of the Jinwen School, the positions of the two of them were also seized by the Yuan clan, and they could only hold the positions of Qingshui with little practical significance.

The status is not low, but there is no power.

Therefore, it is necessary to say that the Luoyang Incident almost belongs to the civil war of the ancient literature school, which originated from the struggle between Yuan and Lu Zhi.

This wave of the modern literary school is completely outsiders, except for a few unlucky people who were included in the list of Zhang Rang and others, most of them actually survived.

In contrast, the Yuan clan and its protégés and former officials were completely wiped out as the sphere of influence of the ancient literature school, and the destruction of some of the ancient literature schools.

Therefore, from the perspective of the dispute between modern and ancient literature, this time, the forces of the ancient literature school have been dealt a relatively serious blow, and many people have died, and there are many of their enemies, and they are naturally happy.

So after this incident, a small meeting was held within the school of modern literature, and everyone discussed it, and it was felt that this might be an opportunity for the school to stand up again and dominate everything.

Although Zhang Xi and Huan Dian have no power, their status is still there, and in the current situation, they feel that Liu Hong will not be left for a few days, and they will soon usher in the crown prince Liu Xie to ascend the throne.

And Liu Xie is only eight years old, he can't be pro-government, the imperial power needs someone to hold it on his behalf, and after Yuan's out, so many vacant positions are really eye-catching.

Zhang Xi and Huan Dian put forward the idea of everyone in the modern literary school striving for positions at the meeting yesterday, and they are still discussing how to do it.

They didn't know that Liu Hong was dead, and on this crucial issue, they had lost the opportunity.

On the other hand, although there has been a large-scale reduction in personnel, there has been great progress in another aspect.

For example, the degree of unity.

Now, under Liu Bei's bridging, the ancient literature school once again has a unified goal.

Lu Zhi and the others had solemn faces and did not say a word, even if there was an exchange, it was a whispered exchange, and if they didn't listen carefully, they couldn't hear it at all.

As the time passed, the bell in the palace rang, and the heavy door slowly opened with the ringing of the long and dull bell.

Looking at the palace gate slowly opening, the time to enter the court has come.

Lu Zhi didn't hesitate, feeling as if nothing had happened, and slowly walked into the palace.

Lu Zhi took a step, and the remaining officials followed Lu Zhi's steps, according to the level of their respective official positions, gathered into a long procession, and entered the palace gate.
