Xuande

Chapter 103 I'm sorry, at the beginning, you didn't deserve it
The current situation is still not friendly to the scholars.

The foreign relatives have been controlled by the eunuchs and have become an extension of the eunuchs' power, and cannot play the role of checking and balancing the eunuchs.

The former Shangshutai was controlled by eunuchs, and Shangshuling was an eunuch.

Although the power of scholars is still there, it is a pity that they have been successfully split into two distinct factions by the dispute between modern and ancient Chinese. There have been irreconcilable conflicts of interest between them, and it is obviously difficult to return to the past.

Even so, as long as Yuan Kai can successfully record Shangshushi, it is also a very remarkable thing.

Once the Sangong has the power to record the affairs of the Shangshu, and the high position and power are in hand, the Shangshu Ling will become the subordinate of the Sangong and obey the orders of the Sangong.

Sangong could mobilize this important department with real power to do things, mobilize the huge central state apparatus of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and realize his political ideals in a certain sense.

Although Shangshutai has been under the control of eunuchs for a long time, most of the staff working there are of scholar origin.

Although there are also many officials of the eunuch group who were born in Hongdu School, such as Cao Shangshu and Liang Hu of the Ministry of Officials, the ability of Hongdu School to cultivate political talents is obviously insufficient. There are very few talents who can really govern the country. Not high either.

Although the eunuchs and their servants wanted to replace the gentry, one fact that had to be mentioned was that most of the knowledge in this era, including ruling knowledge, was mastered and monopolized by the gentry.

Everyone in the gentry has not only the right to interpret a classic, but also the experience and contacts of all the seniors and disciples of the entire family as officials and contacts. This is a huge and precious accumulated wealth.

No one will teach a group of eunuchs how to be an official. Eunuchs and their servants can only be self-taught, relying on the accumulation of time to increase experience, and follow the route of experience accumulation.

Although it is said that the scholars have come all the way in the same way at the beginning, they have accumulated hundreds of years now, and they have been summarized into textbooks. The eunuchs have only walked this road for more than ten years, and they cannot compete with the scholars and officials at all.

Therefore, although Shangshutai is controlled by eunuchs, although the officials of Shangshutai have to obey their opinions against their will, it can be said that their original intentions, once there are scholars and officials who record Shangshu affairs, they will definitely flock to seek refuge with the scholars. , not eunuchs.

Yuan Shao believed that once Yuan Kai successfully recorded the Shangshu affairs, he would be able to control the entire Shangshutai in a short period of time, and then began to squeeze out the power of eunuchs.

That's right, while the Ancient Literature School has gained the advantage of suppressing the high positions of the Modern Literature School, the Ancient Literature School did not think about thanking the imperial power and eunuchs for their help.

They are very clear that this is the imperial power using its strength to fight.

I don't know why, the imperial power is not happy with the Jinwen School, and wants to use their power to deal with the Jinwen School, so everyone takes what they need, and benefits each other, and there is no kindness.

Therefore, although the goal has been initially achieved, there is no need to realize any historical cooperation between eunuchs and scholars after this incident.

Although the ancient literature school is weak, they are still scholars, and they still think they are superior to others.

How can a eggless eunuch, who is inferior to ordinary people, be on an equal footing with them?

As long as they can control Shangshutai, they can further control the government. The next step is to use this relationship to completely hunt down and encircle the Modern Literature School, kill them completely, and realize the ancient literature school's full control of the government.

Only in this matter, the ancient literature school can cooperate with the eunuch forces, but they will not be soft on what they deserve.

Although this time the eunuch group gave up the position of Shang Shuling, it can be seen that they have the sincerity of cooperation, but so what?

Shang Shuling is not enough.

The Sangong who recorded the book affairs is the biggest pursuit!

This does not change the scholars' deep-rooted aversion to eunuchs and their yearning for supreme authority.

After drinking for three rounds and enjoying the guests, Yuan Shao took Liu Bei's hand and left Liu Bei's house quite a bit drunk as Liu Bei sent him off.

Before boarding the carriage, Yuan Shao held Liu Bei's hand with drunken eyes, and told him a lot of heartfelt thoughts, the central idea was very simple.

"Xuande, you and I need to get closer. The situation in Luoyang will change suddenly in the future. We need to support each other. In this way, we will be able to stand on top of the storm!"

Liu Bei also had drunken eyes and a bewitched smile on his face.

"sure!"

Only then did Yuan Shao let go of Liu Bei's hand in satisfaction, and boarded the carriage going back.

Watching Yuan Shao's carriage leave, the fascinated smile on Liu Bei's face disappeared instantly, and he looked down at the mark on his wrist that Yuan Shao pinched, and couldn't help but roll his eyes.

To say that Yuan Benchu ​​is a scumbag is really not wronging him. There is no benefit, no actual promise. Seeing that Liu Bei's status has changed suddenly, he came to Liu Bei to draw a big cake and asked for a promise. Those who didn't know thought Yuan Shao was from an idol drama Template scumbag.

In terms of beauty, I, Liu Xuande, cannot compare to you, Yuan Benchu.

But in terms of the skill of drawing big cakes, there is still a gap of [-] million points between you Yuan Benchu ​​and me Liu Xuande.

Because I really have a whole piece of delicious pancake, as long as the price is right, I don't mind sharing a part.

And you, not yet, when you really have a big pie, the order has collapsed, and your big pie will not be so delicious.

So, you want me to be your help in winning the Yuan family's power?

I'm sorry, at first, you didn't deserve it.

But even so, Liu Bei didn't intend to turn against Yuan Shao, he still wanted to continue with Yuan Shaoxu.

Because the remaining value of Yuan Shao's body has not been squeezed out by him, there is still a lot of oil and water on Yuan Shao's body. Squeezing it out will bring a lot of benefits to Liu Bei, who is congenitally deficient.

Yuan Shao wanted to use Liu Bei, so why didn't Liu Bei want to use Yuan Shao?

In the same way, the Yuan family wanted to use the ancient literature school, so how could the ancient literature school not want to use the Yuan family?
In mid-November of the fifth year of Guanghe, the winners of the ancient literature school recommended Situ Yuan Kui to take charge of the affairs of the book and take charge of the government.

As a thank you to the Xun family, they also recommended the highly respected Xun Shuang to return to the court and take up the position of servant, creating conditions for further promoting Xun Shuang to the position of the three princes.

They hope that such a wave will firmly hold the central authority in the hands of the Ancient Literature School Alliance, so that they can resist the eunuchs externally, eliminate the Modern Literature School internally, and realize the great unification of the Ancient Literature School in the academic and political fields!
The unification of the Ram School is a very good idea.

But now it belongs to our ancient literature school!

My "Zuoshi Chunqiu" also wants to unify!
Scholars of the School of Ancient Literature have great expectations for this, and are already sharpening their swords, ready to usher in a new era.

But the result was beyond everyone's expectations.

Their request was granted by the emperor.

Liu Hong passed the decree, approved Situ Yuan Kui to record the affairs of the minister, and approved Xun Shuang, a sage in the field, to enter the court as a servant.

In addition, Liu Hong also decided to promote Lu Zhi to Minister of Ministers, and Zhang Rang, who had only served for a short time, abdicated and gave way to the virtuous.

But soon they learned that Liu Hong also appointed Taiwei Yang Cilu Shangshushi, and together with Sikong and Yuan Wei, he was in charge of Shangshutai affairs and served as Zaifu.

This sudden change caught the scholars of the ancient literature school and the Yuan and Xun families off guard.

They all felt extremely astonished. They wondered what the emperor had done. He had just suppressed the arrogance of the Modern Literature School, so why did he suddenly let that old man record the affairs of the Minister together?

What is this operation?
Why is it?
Many people don't know what happened to it, it's obvious that everyone had such a tacit understanding before.

But Liu Bei knew the reason here.

That's for sure, because that's what he suggested.
