Zhang Rang carefully tasted the meaning of Liu Bei's words, and then came to a conclusion.

Liu Bei was ready to kill.

If someone had to contradict him on this matter, he would have killed.

Especially the eunuchs.

If Liu Bei, a person from the ancient literature school, is still a little jealous and inconvenient to start at will, then there is really nothing to say about dealing with eunuchs.

Therefore, the eunuch group, an existence that should have been destroyed a few years ago, if it can't figure out its own positioning and meaning of existence, it will definitely be swept away by Liu Bei at this moment.

Return to their original niche of humble servants, and lose everything they once had.

In fact, Zhang Rang has always felt that it is quite strange for Liu Bei to leave the Ten Standing Servants to continue to be powerful and prosperous in Luoyang and the world.

If it is said that when Liu Bei's strength was not very strong before, the eunuchs were left in order to compete with the modern literary school, then it is understandable.

But now, the modern literary school has been defeated, the ancient literary school is dominant, Liu Bei himself is also a super powerful ancient literary school, and the power and status of the general are constantly consolidated, at this moment, Liu Bei alone can dominate the world.

In the absence of a strong foreign enemy, is there any special significance for him to keep the eunuch group?

It can only be said that the significance of the existence of the eunuch group at this stage is not so great.

And not long ago, Liu Bei suffered a wave of criticism because of the eunuch's affairs, and the Yuan group also used this to launch an attack on Liu Bei.

If you have to explain, this may be a bit of a gold for Liu Bei.

Even the disgusting existence of the eunuch group can be rewarded by Liu Bei for helping Liu Bei, let alone others?

But since then, the eunuch group has essentially become the object of Liu Bei's protection, and even more so after Zhang Rang and Jian Shuo gave up force one after another.

In fact, they are no longer an independent political force, and they no longer have the real energy of the three-legged power of the scholars and relatives.

The three-legged political pattern of eunuchs, scholars and relatives in Liu Hong's period has long since ceased to exist.

It stands to reason that in this case, they should be honest and low-key, instead of being so high-profile and contradicting Liu Bei, they should abide by the rules set by Liu Bei.

And Liu Bei's tolerance for them is obviously not unlimited.

They are obviously not clear about the situation when they put forward such an idea to Liu Bei now, Liu Bei will be angry about this, and Zhang Rang is not incomprehensible.

What's more, if Liu Bei wants to kill them, it is very simple.

is still the same sentence, anti-eunuch is political correctness in society, even if Liu Bei deliberately hides the existence of the eunuch group now, but as long as the time is right, anti-eunuch is still a banner with great political appeal.

If Liu Bei wants to kill any official, someone will definitely speak for them, which will have some impact.

But if you want to kill the eunuchs......

Even if some scholars were fully aware that they and the eunuch were grasshoppers on the same rope in this matter, they would applaud the killing of the eunuch loudly, and would never object, at least not on the surface.

Therefore, the scholars can still bargain with Liu Bei on this matter and bring some trouble to Liu Bei, and if the eunuch messes around, he really doesn't even know how he died.

"Actually, if there are really eunuchs who jump out against me, I'm still quite happy, because although the eunuchs have no power at this stage and can't decide anything, but the eunuchs have really a lot of money, land and slaves, and if I kill a faction casually, it's enough for the Luoyang court to spend a few months, right?"

Liu Bei winked at Zhang Rang.

Zhang Rang shuddered for no reason.

"You're not going to do anything to me, are you?"

"Didn't I say Lao Zhang, I will keep you safe and rich, no matter when, I will not attack you, of course, this must also be based on not going against me, I will keep you safe and rich, not a reason for you to go against me."

Liu Bei looked at Zhang Rang with a smile: "You are a person who knows how to advance and retreat, I still have a basic sense of trust in you, what do you think?" ”

"That's ...... nature"

Zhang Rang wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with a smile: "Xuande, don't worry, my relationship with them is not very good, I will persuade some people not to go against you, but others ...... I don't know if I can persuade it, so I ......"

"You do what you can, I do what I can."

Liu Bei nodded: "Since some people want to find death, then, if they don't fulfill them, they will be somewhat unacceptable." ”

For the ancient literature school, Liu Bei can't kill yet, and when the time comes, he will destroy all his early operations, just like Dong Zhuo, who completely gave up - Dong Taishi was still very humble in the early stage of his reign, and he also gave a lot of benefits to the scholars, and he wanted the scholars to admit themselves, but the scholars didn't know what to do.

Of course, Master Dong was furiously blackened.

Liu Bei is much calmer than Dong Taishi, more prepared, and more strategic, so it is impossible to break the gong at this time.

So Liu Bei plans to knock on the mountain and revitalize the tiger, if they resist together, then use the blood of the eunuchs to shock some small military strongmen to some people.

Kill the eunuch, who dares to say a word?

If you really want to talk about it, that is, this group of eunuchs really doesn't know what to do, they should know very well that at this stage, they have already retired from the environment, and it is because of Liu Bei's tolerance that they can continue to exist in the Luoyang Imperial Court.

If Liu Bei is not tolerant, or Liu Bei is dissatisfied with them, will they still survive?

But it's not bad, Liu Bei kept them at that time, which was essentially equivalent to keeping a piggy bank, and it was also to break the piggy bank at an appropriate time and withdraw the money for use.

Not only can you get politically correct claims, but you can also get huge property, and engage in a wave of drama of [and the gentry fall down and Jiaqing is full].

There were no excuses in the past, and now the excuses have come, then it's time to withdraw the money.

The way to deal with the eunuch group is simple and rude, but to deal with the ancient literature school and other opposition officials in the court, some means are still needed.

In short, Liu Bei needs to win the support of enough people.

Anyway, the officials of Liu Bei's entire faction are all very supportive of him, and the officials of Liu Bei's faction headed by Yan Wen, Cao Cao, and Zhen Yan are quite supportive of this.

The increasingly large Liu Bei faction did not occupy many high positions in the imperial court, but in terms of the number of middle-level and grass-roots officials, the Liu Bei faction gradually occupied a fairly important proportion.

In terms of other forces, Lu Zhi definitely supported Liu Bei, and some people who were close to him also supported him, such as Zheng Xuan.

This time, after Liu Bei proposed to promote the State Council system, Zheng Xuan made a public statement in Taixue, believing that everything Liu Bei said was reasonable and should be supported.

He believes that everything Liu Bei does is out of a heart that worries about the country and the people, not for himself, but for everyone.

He himself has witnessed the perverse actions of many unreliable officials, and has witnessed human tragedies caused by the inaction of officials, and he is very dissatisfied with this.

Before, there was nothing he could do to change all this, but now, someone is finally going to step up and solve it.

Since this is the case, he wants to support, he strongly supports Liu Bei!
