Xuande

Chapter 106
I understand, of course I understand, how could Zhang Rang not understand this kind of thing?

If he doesn't understand such a good thing, he might as well stop being his chief eunuch.

Zhang Rang's two hands kept rubbing together, rubbing back and forth.

"In this way, wouldn't it be beautiful?"

"Of course, isn't this better than all your secret schemes and calculations? This is an open conspiracy, and direct confrontation is the most advantageous method for you."

Liu Bei nodded, and said slowly: "So, do you still care about Shang Shuling? Zhang Changshi?"

Zhang Rang licked his lips and rolled his eyes.

"I don't care, I don't care if I say it like this, then Liu... Xuande, when will you discuss with me how to arrange this East Garden? This is something His Majesty is particularly concerned about, and we can't take it lightly. !"

The state switching is really fast.

Of course, this is also a feedback to the eunuch group.

In any case, this time the eunuch group actually gave up a lot of benefits. Now that the struggle has won a staged victory, if they don't give them anything, they will definitely not be able to bear it, and it is inevitable that they will make trouble.

At that time, when this political and academic struggle was tense and stalemate, there should be no problems within myself.

But political power is indeed very tight, and Liu Bei can't make the decision, so he simply throws out a secret service agency for the eunuchs to control, open up new tracks, find new industry outlets, and temporarily satisfy them.

Now it seems that Zhang Rang is indeed very satisfied.

Liu Bei was very satisfied with Zhang Rang's change of attitude, so he nodded, and promised to discuss with him secretly tonight many details about the establishment of Dongyuan.

The East Garden should be established as soon as possible, so that the emperor can hold a powerful card that can be played.

Once this card is formed, it will benefit Liu Bei himself a lot.

As long as the role of eunuchs can be maximized, the power of scholars can be suppressed to the greatest extent, and the power of scholars will not expand too quickly before he has enough ability to turn things around, Liu Bei is very willing to do it.

After all, this group of eunuchs has rich experience in political struggle. If they can't be well armed and trained, it would be a pity that Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu will take over.

You have to let the two tigers fight each other, so that you can fish in troubled waters and benefit the fisherman.

but……

Liu Bei also fully understood the feeling of seeking skin from a tiger.

There are no absolute allies or absolute enemies in the political field, and the current allies may not necessarily become enemies in the future.

Once a spy agency is formed, it will be extremely lethal, and it may not be a double-edged sword.

It is true to seek skins with tigers and dance with wolves.

But on the other hand, it is easier to cooperate with eunuchs than scholars.

At least most of the eunuchs from humble backgrounds have clear interests.

Provide them with enough benefits, and they will be your staunch allies—until you can't provide them with enough benefits.

And the scholars...

Do you know what it means to be heartless? Are you a scholar?

They have too much from the beginning, they think highly of themselves, and only higher power can move their hearts, but power is a rare treasure, so scholars are destined not to be good partners.

Since the East Garden is to be pulled up, it will definitely need a secret headquarters that cannot be seen in the light, and some secret branches scattered inside and outside Luoyang City. They must choose places that are inconspicuous at first glance, and it is best not to be there. In the place, but underground.

It's the kind of very déjà vu picture where the top is a serious business on the surface, and the underground is the intelligence personnel coming and going.

Personnel must also be reliable and reliable. All candidates must be young, with both parents deceased and no relatives, and of innocent background. Cut off all contact with the outside world, and accept harsh physical fitness, lurking, spying, and cultural training. Master the skills of espionage.

But then again, Liu Bei's professional knowledge in intelligence is not professional, and he uses the experience he accumulated from playing secret battles with his opponents when he was a Street Fighter.

The most successful time was to spy on the location of the opponent's lair, and Xingye led a surprise attack to kill the opponent. Besides, Liu Bei really didn't have much experience in intelligence warfare.

Fortunately, Zhang Rang had some experience in sending people into the opponent's lair to spy on information or buying the enemy's cronies to obtain information, so he shared it with Liu Bei, and the two got together to figure out a set of regulations.

While this matter was going on, Liu Bei suddenly felt that it was really despicable for him and Zhang Rang to get together and try their best to deal with the scholars.

Obviously he has received the trust of the school and entrusted him with important affairs, but he has been secretly bad things about the school.

What a mean villain.

but.

Kind of fun.

He didn't consider himself a scholar, it was just that others thought he was a scholar.

His ass never sat on the scholar's side.

To stand tall, to open up the pattern, not to rest on our laurels.

Whether it is the ancient literature school, the modern literature school, or the eunuchs, they are basically bastards, and there is no fundamental difference. Whoever comes to power will not be better for the big man, nor will it improve the people's livelihood of the big man.

With this group of insects, how can we do a great job?
So, none of you can do it, let me do it.

When it's time to do it, do it, and do it ruthlessly.

During the cooperation with Liu Hong and Zhang Rang, Liu Bei gradually found another thing he wanted to do at this stage.

If developing and growing itself is the main task, then this matter can be said to be a side task, and it can even be regarded as a legendary world task.

To prevent the scholars from following the historical track to the peak, that is to prevent the scholars and the tyrants from following the historical track to merge, and to achieve the super-large power class that was not completely eliminated in the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, and even the Sui and Tang Dynasties.

During the Eastern Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms period, scholars and tyrants had not yet fully merged, and the general environment in which scholars controlled knowledge and power while landlords and tyrants controlled land and population had not been completely broken.

And with the Wuhu Luanhua and the Jin family's southward transition, the scholars and the powerful gradually merged into one, creating a far-reaching political power group in Chinese history-the powerful family.

They made their fortunes in the Han Dynasty, grew up in the Wei Dynasty, and matured in the Jin Dynasty and later. Based on the manor economy, with the metaphysics of the Wei and Jin Dynasties as the appearance, and with the Jiupin Zhongzheng System as the advanced level, they have profoundly influenced the Chinese history of the Southern and Northern Dynasties and even the Sui and Tang Dynasties. develop.

They are the ones who formally created the political rules of the upper-rank Wuhan family and the lower-rank no-gentry clan. It is they who trample on the saying that princes and generals have kindness, and proudly declare that they are kind.

Of course, they didn't end well.

Huang Chao superimposed Zhu Wen, followed by the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms. The dark, terrifying and chaotic times ended them by physical means, and only then did they start the dual society of monarch and common people after the Song Dynasty.

Their influence is too great, too dangerous.

When Liu Bei was just a second- and third-rate scholar before, he didn't think of stopping them, but was trying to become them unconsciously.

But when Liu Bei stepped into the top of the social pyramid of the Eastern Han Dynasty with half his body, he was shocked to find that he had become a part of this group of people.

If the Liu family of Zhuo County in Zhuo County really became a member of the Gaomen noble family in the future, and became a member of the Wei and Jin aristocratic families, is this really what he wants to pursue?
In the process of getting along with the scholars, Liu Bei noticed his own heart.

He is not willing to be such a person, nor is he interested in dancing with such a group of people, and then rotten with them, his ass does not sit on the side of the gentry.

He doesn't like gentry.

To be honest, if this step can be taken earlier, maybe we can use the power of this Dongyuan to make the outbreak of the Yellow Turban Rebellion a little smaller, and it will not be so big.

Can you make it?

Looking at the snowflakes falling slowly from the sky, Liu Bei let out a long sigh.
