Jian Shuo's servant moved quickly, and after a while, the news was sent to Liu Bei's mansion.

The servant took Jian Shuo's token and told Liu Bei all the contents of Jian Shuo's explanation.

Liu Bei didn't say anything after learning about it, nodded his head, and asked the servant to receive the reward, and then left.

Cheng Yu, who heard about this with him, felt very angry, and suggested to Liu Bei to give Zheng Tai, Jia Xi and others a little shock to the Great General's Mansion and take care of them.

"They obviously don't plan to support your plan anymore, it's really a very dangerous thing for you to go on like this, I suggest you take precautions early, strike first, and clean them all up!"

Cheng Yu still supports simple and crude ways of doing things, which is to crush them so bluntly and crush them.

Liu Bei has a different view on this matter.

"It's a good thing that they can come out against me, at least let me know how many people are still opposing me inside and outside the court until now, and at that time, it will be much less important to dispose of them on the grounds of rebellion than to dispose of them because of Dutian.

Although it is fundamentally because of Dutian to deal with them, but Dutian is too wide-ranging, and the rebellion is more justifiable, and it will not cause widespread panic, and the fewer powerful enemies, the easier it will be for Dutian to succeed, isn't it? ”

Liu Bei looked at Cheng Yu with a smile.

Cheng Yu's complexion was not easy.

"What you said makes a lot of sense, but I'm worried that they will take a more stealthy assassination method because your strength is too strong, easy to dodge with open guns, difficult to defend against hidden arrows, no matter how careful your defense is, if someone really wants to harm you, you can find an opportunity."

Liu Bei agrees.

"I know, I understand that, that's why I formed the Tiger Guards, but seriously, if they do use assassination against me again, then I really think they're like that.

Isn't it a bad thing to assassinate me as long as you don't kill me, and to send me the butcher's knife that slaughtered them personally? If they assassinate me, I will liquidate them, and no one will be able to say a word.

and so on all kinds of means to clear up all the enemies exposed on the surface, in fact, the enemy we really want to deal with has been weakened to the weakest state, and at that time to push Dutian, it is really likely to succeed. ”

Cheng Yu thought about it and did not raise any more objections.

After that, Liu Bei asked Cheng Yu to put more energy into the affairs of the General's Palace, and put more effort into the government affairs conference, the elimination of officials, and the military region garrison system that the imperial court was about to promote, so as to implement these policies as soon as possible.

As long as these policies are implemented, no matter how much Zheng Tai and others oppose it, it is meaningless, and no matter how much they win people to rebel against themselves, it is meaningless.

Because although there are stupid people in the whole court, there are also smart people, and more are speculators.

Only stupid people will help them, neither smart nor speculators will do such a thing.

For example, Huang Wan, who is a really smart person, Zheng Tai went to chat with him, and after chatting for a while, Huang Wan suddenly had a stomachache, let out a few farts, and ran to the toilet with his butt covered.

And those farts also smoked Zheng Tai, Zheng Tai covered his nose with a look of disgust, scolded Huang Wan a few words, and then left in a hurry.

So the meeting broke up unhappily.

Huang Wan also sent someone to tell Liu Bei about this matter later, saying that he was not interested in Zheng Tai at all, and did not agree with Zheng Tai's ideas at all, and expressed his political leanings by the way.

What does it mean to be smart?

This is called a smart man.

Therefore, Huang Wan, the real opposition, can still do it for a long, long time.

And it is difficult to say that the fake opposition of Zheng Tai and Jia Xi is difficult.

After that, Zheng Tai and Jia Xi also visited a lot of people, some officials in the court who were not Liu Bei's protégés, they visited a lot, and even Yang Xiu got their worship because of his special background.

Then Yang Xiu took the post to Liu Bei and handed it to Liu Bei to inform him of the matter.

Of course, the meeting did not appear, Yang Xiu was not a stupid person, it was impossible for him to mix with Zheng Tai and the others, and Liu Bei never expected these two guys to be so stupid.

Even if you want to play Infernal Affairs, you have to figure out who Infernal Affairs is for, right?

The life safety of the Yang clan is under Liu Bei's control, and you let Yang Xiu, a young man, play Infernal Affairs with you?

I can only say that my heart is really big.

By the beginning of November of the fourth year of Jian'an, many things had been settled, and the departments that should be organized, the rules that should be recruited and the rules that should be operated, had begun a new round of operation, and the political situation of the Han Empire was completely different from the past.

In general, a considerable part of the middle and upper classes of the Han Empire were in a state of restlessness.

And there are two reasons for this.

Politically, the preparation of the government conference and the implementation of the official elimination system have made many people worry that they will become the unlucky ones who will be eliminated.

Militarily, the local stationing of the imperial army made some people feel worried, and the preparation of the Zhongshutai and the county soldiers made some people feel that the mountain rain was about to come.

Liu Bei is extending his power tentacles from Luoyang to every inch of the country, and everyone will become his target if not his own.

No one can escape, no one is spared.

The old days really seem to be gone.

In such a tense and delicate state, Liu Bei suddenly announced in the court that he would open up his views widely, allowing the government and the opposition to discuss politics and the people, and allowing people to convey political suggestions and doubts to him.

He will set up a special department in the General's Mansion to undertake government affairs suggestions and doubts from all over the world, and he will watch them regularly, and select some meaningful answers from them to reply to the world's concern about the politics of the imperial court.

Regarding his own move, Liu Bei has explained to the cronies around him.

"The subtle changes in the situation have changed my former approachable image, and many people have begun to fear my power and identity more and more, and in the fear, there is a feeling called dissatisfaction, and the more fearful, the more dissatisfied.

In the past, I used to be approachable to defuse a lot of people's fears, but now that things have changed, it's no longer appropriate to use the old ways, so we need to give the outside world a whole new outlet and respond once in a while to make them think I'm still approachable and just too busy. ”

For Liu Bei's idea, his cronies and subordinates agreed, feeling that it might have an unexpected effect in a tense and delicate struggle environment.

Sure enough, after the news spread, a considerable number of letters appeared in the open mailbox of the General's Mansion in a short period of time, and Liu Bei had to arrange for some officials to be responsible for selecting letters.

He didn't have time to read all the hundreds of letters, and some of them were purely emotional and unnecessary in his opinion, but he would specifically ask people to pick out a small number of such letters, and find a time to reply to them once in a while to create a false sense of prosperity with a wide range of words.

As for what he sees the most, he still takes this opportunity to show him his talents and put forward some letters written by people who have put forward some ideas for governing the country and the country, in which these people will write some good methods of governing the country and the country in their eyes, hoping that Liu Bei can adopt them.

Maybe you can get Liu Bei's attention because of this, so that you can leap up and achieve a class jump?

Isn't that a good opportunity?

Liu Bei also hopes to see something different from it, or to understand some specific trends in the contemporary ideological circles-

At present, after the collapse of the modern literary school and the elimination of the theological academic dictatorship of Confucianism formed by the "White Tiger Tongyi", the new academic environment established by the ancient literature school and based on the "Jiade Tongyi" has not yet been formally established.

That is to say, in the current time period, although the ideology of the imperial court is basically unified, the people have not yet formed a unified concept.

The concept of respecting ghosts and gods and staying away was only implemented in the political life of the imperial court, and at other levels, the academic and ideological atmosphere left by the modern literary school was still shrouded.

People say that it is good to turn around when the boat is small, and it is not good to turn around when the ship is big, which is true, that is, in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, a chaotic society that most people were dissatisfied with, was about to collapse, and was only one step away from the troubled times, Liu Bei had room to operate.

If this is a peaceful and comfortable country, in a prosperous state, Liu Bei will never be able to operate successfully.
