Zheng Tai and Jia Xi were speechless and didn't know how to refute what the conservative bigwigs said.

The main thing they said is indeed the truth, it is indeed the case, everything is what happened, Liu Bei is indeed bright, he is a righteous and bright person, everything he does is under the sun, there is nothing to blame.

Everything is what he should do, can do, and is within the scope of his power as the chief auxiliary minister and general, and it is not beyond the scope of power, so the royal family does not have much opinion on this.

And say a thousand ways and ten thousand, Liu Bei's surname is Liu, he is the eldest brother of the Han family, he is the royal family of the Han Dynasty!

You are targeting a Han clan like this, have you ever considered the possibility of the royal family standing up for him directly and attacking you in the name of righteousness in case the royal family is unhappy?

Kong Pod, the representative of the Kong clan of Fufeng Maoling, made Zheng Tai and Jia Xiyi's faces flush and became very angry.

Jia Xi pointed at Kong Pod's face and erupted angrily.

"Today we are not only speaking for ourselves, but also for you! Once Liu Bei really does all these things, can you be left alone? Can he escape the oppression of his power?

Don't you know who Liu Bei is? You can't see him for what he really is, but I do! He is a fierce person like a tiger and wolf, if you wait to be his slave for the rest of your life, you can survive, if you have the slightest disobedience to him, you will definitely be killed by him! ”

Kong Wei strongly disagreed with Jia Xi's remarks.

"What kind of person is Liu Xuande, there is a public opinion in the world, you can't change the recognition of the people in the world, everything he did before is enough to prove what kind of person he is, isn't it? Don't all the princes have eyes? ”

"You...... Don't you smell the cold of your lips and teeth? If we are killed by him, will you be left alone?! ”

Zheng Tai jumped up and said angrily: "Now is the last time for us to unite against Liu Bei, if we miss it and he places the army in various places, then we will no longer have the strength to turn over!" He can do whatever he wants in the future! ”

"Ridiculous, is there anyone in the world who can do whatever he wants?"

Kong Pod's face was impatient: "Mediocre people disturb themselves, without Liu Xuande, how can we have today?" How many people in this school of thought think so? Now that you are standing up and saying that you want to break with Liu Xuande, do you think there will be many people following you? ”

Jung Tae and Jia Xi were silent.

Seeing that most of the people around them had expressions of indifference and wanting to stay out of the matter, they suddenly realized that although Kong Pod was stupid, what he said was right.

The reputation that Liu Bei created for himself before was really good, these reputations were enough for him to resist a considerable part of the negative public opinion attacks, and the reputation accumulated over the years was enough to make a considerable number of people enter a state of [not dying until the heart of the Yellow River].

Did this guy start planning for today a long time ago?!

Zheng Tai and Jia Xi looked at each other.

Of course, they didn't think that Liu Bei would be able to figure it out in the end, but it is undeniable that his good reputation helped him so much in his political actions that when Zheng Tai and Jia Xi sought to build a united front against Liu Bei, they met with serious failure.

Not many people want to believe that Liu Bei, who is the master of the Spring and Autumn Festival of the Zuo family, would actually do something unfavorable to the school, they think that there must be some misunderstanding in this, or that Liu Bei has other deeper thoughts, and he is playing a big game of chess.

All in all, no one thought that Liu Bei would harm his own interests in order to accomplish something.

Those who can harm their own interests are not yet born in their eyes!

As for the affairs of the armed forces, as well as the matter of the division of military divisions, there were many people who discussed them, but not many people raised opposing opinions.

Moreover, Liu Bei also announced the plan for building an army of 300,000 in a bright and bright manner, saying that in order to ensure the national security of the Han Dynasty and the prestige of the Son of Heaven, he was authorized by the Son of Heaven to establish a 300,000 Central Han Army under the command of the Luoyang Imperial Court.

In the future, the military security and local security of the Han Dynasty will be taken care of by the 300,000 Central Han Army and the 200,000 county soldiers, and these 500,000 very professional armed forces will certainly enable the security of the Han Dynasty to grow by leaps and bounds.

Yes, Liu Bei classified all these actions as law and order.

He said that whether it is the planning of his military region, the construction of the county's national army, or the recruitment of 300,000 soldiers, it is all for the sake of national security, long-term peace and stability, and to deter those rebellious people with bad intentions.

This is for the Son of Heaven and for the prestige of the Luoyang court, not for him personally.

In this regard, Liu Xie, the little son of heaven, also issued a public edict, saying that what Liu Bei did was allowed by the Son of Heaven and known to the royal family, so the ministers of the government and the opposition should not have too many doubts and objections to this matter, otherwise it is the court and the people of the world who will suffer.

As a result, the opposition of the opponents is even more fragile and cannot be sustained.

A few days later, in October, Liu Bei's military region plan and the consequent series of military changes were fully adopted, and officially became the executive policy of the imperial court, and it was recognized.

The dust settled.

Zheng Tai and Jia Xi did not succeed in stopping Liu Bei after all, and Liu Bei's series of operations were also successful, and while they felt that things were very bad, they were also really anxious, feeling that they could not sit still like this.

They decided to do something to secure their future.

But looking at the world, who else can confront Liu Bei, who else has enough troops, and who else can be their real help?

Not much, really.

Therefore, we really have to start looking for forces that can be won over immediately, gather them all, and make a last stand, otherwise, it will really be over.

The two began to discuss privately how to deal with the situation.

First of all, within the school of paleology, there are quite a few conservatives, and most of them are in the upper echelons.

For example, in addition to the Fufeng Maoling Kong family, the Henan Kaifeng Zheng family, the Cangwu Guangxin Chen family, and the Fufeng Pingling Jia family are all in a conservative position, and the Runan Ruyang Zhou family and the Lu Guo Kong family are also in a conservative situation.

Fufeng Maoling Kong is also a conservative position, but Kong Pod has a relatively high opinion of Liu Bei, but the political position of the entire family is conservative, if Liu Bei really sacrifices some powerful means, Kong will not sit on his ass.

At this stage, among the main valve reading families, only the Fufeng Maoling Ma family and the Zhuo County Lu family and the Liu family are in the position of the reformists, while the Yingchuan Xun family has an ambiguous attitude and does not know their specific political tendencies.

Avoid the Ma clan, the Liu clan and the Kong clan, and the others can be said to be allies who can be co-opted as a help.

On the other hand, in the imperial court, there are fewer and fewer such people, in addition to the respective supporters and hardcore supporters of the major families, only Dong Chong, Jian Shuo, Huang Wan and a few others seem to maintain a relatively independent posture and have not invested in Liu Bei's disciples.

Dong Chong and Jian Shuo were the ones they thought they had to win over, and they were one of the few people who really had an army that could compete with Liu Bei, so in the first stage, they decided to go to Dong Chong and Jian Shuo.

Once, they had a lot of contact with Dong Chong, and there were also several cooperations, although they were unsuccessful, and Dong Chong was scared and closed off for a long time, but they thought that Dong Chong's identity as a hussar general, as well as the army and power he theoretically had, was still valuable.

So they decided that Zheng Tai would come forward and quietly visit Dong Chong.

As a result, I don't know if I don't see it, and I was shocked when I saw it.

I haven't seen him for a while, and Dong Chong's whole person has become as fat as an inflatable, which makes people completely can't believe that the guy who used to have a little heroic appearance has now become a ball.

When Zheng Tai went to visit Dong Chong, Dong Chong was eating snacks and frolicking with two beautiful concubines in his hussar general's mansion.

The specific manifestation is that one of the two lightly dressed beautiful concubines sits on his two legs, and then one holds a fried chicken leg and feeds it to Dong Chong.

Dong Zhong was dressed in clothes woven of gorgeous Shu brocade, his face was ruddy and shiny, and his whole person was like an oil bomb about to explode.

In this way, he still gnawed on the fried chicken leg handed to him by the beautiful concubine with a look of intoxication, and he had no dignified look at Zheng Tai who came to visit, nor did he use the proper hospitality, so he simply sat the two of them down, and then let the servants serve the food.
