Chapter 493

After the "spoil sharing meeting" was over, it was already midnight, and Liu Bei, who hadn't had a good rest for a long time, was now very tired. Logically speaking, this was a night for a good rest.

But this night, Liu Bei no longer plans to sleep.

In other words, he has no time to sleep, and he still has a lot of things to do.

He came to the army garrison outside Luoyang City, washed his face with cold water, stimulated his spirit, and planned to explain the previous achievements to his subordinates first, and then go to others.

When Liu Bei returned, Cao Cao, Gai Xun, Zhen Yan, Yan Wenwen, Jia Xu, Xun You and other subordinates who participated in the coup d'etat and the subordinates in the Hussar General's Mansion had been waiting in the barracks for a long time. When they saw Liu Bei, they asked Liu Bei anxiously. things in the palace.

The affairs outside the palace were done according to Liu Bei's instructions. They had finished all the statistics of the battle results, the custody of the prisoners, the cleaning of the battlefield, etc., and they returned to the barracks, looking forward to Liu Bei's return.

Liu Bei briefly explained to them the series of events surrounding Liu Hong's death, which surprised all his subordinates.

Some subordinates with Luo Yang's background showed sadness, such as Cao Cao.

"Your Majesty is in the prime of his life, how come..."

Liu Bei patted Cao Cao on the shoulder.

"When His Majesty was dying, we fulfilled his last wish for him. Your Majesty passed away with peace of mind. What we have done is worthy of His Majesty's trust. Therefore, we don't need to be too sad."

The subordinates all thought that what Liu Bei said made sense.

After a moment of silence, everyone including Cao Cao changed their minds and began to focus on more important things.

For example, the distribution of benefits.

This time, Liu Bei led them to complete the most important task and made the greatest contribution. Therefore, the benefits will definitely not be small, and even the position of one person under one person and above ten thousand people is not impossible to reach out and touch.

Of course, they were still conservative, Liu Bei was not polite, he directly reached out and grabbed that position.

"When His Majesty was dying, he appointed me as the new General, with an overview of the world's military affairs, and a position above the Sangong."

The subordinates were overjoyed by this, and congratulated Liu Bei one after another, congratulating him on becoming the No.1 under the emperor of the Han Dynasty and the No.1 in the military circle.

Of course, Liu Bei himself has become No.1 below the emperor, and he will not forget to fight for the interests of his subordinates.

So Liu Bei then recounted the process of fighting for power and profit between himself and Zhang Rang, Dong Zhong and Jian Shuo, and informed his subordinates of the benefits he had won.

To be honest, even Zhen Yan, who had the highest expectations for Liu Bei, did not expect that Liu Bei would directly open his mouth to the point where the west of Luoyang was at his disposal.

Everyone was shocked by this, and what shocked them even more was that Zhang asked Dong Zhong and Jian Shuo to agree to this request.

Not counting all the other interests, if the west of Luoyang belongs to Liu Bei to deal with this matter, it is considered a big profit.

"They actually agreed?"

Jia Xu asked in disbelief: "Do they really have no opinion on the land of Guanxi? Does it really matter to them that the west of Luoyang is left to you?"

"Of course they don't have any opinions, but they know my strength better."

Liu Bei smiled and said: "The most important thing at the moment, and the main reason why I can achieve this goal, is that we need to implement this matter ourselves. Just because they say yes, doesn't mean they can really do it."

The big guy Liu Bei said was a little dazed, and even the senior staff officers didn't understand, let alone Zhang Fei, Dong Huang and other generals.

They really don't get it.

So Liu Bei patiently explained the doorway here.

The greatest credit for the Luoyang Incident actually belongs to the emperor Liu Hong, but Liu Hong died before he had time to make any arrangements after the war. Announced in person, so it is more embarrassing.

If Liu Hong can announce the position of Liu Bei and others alive, establish the current system of four auxiliary ministers, and then die, then the system of four auxiliary ministers can be established in a legitimate way.

But Liu Hong didn't persist until that time, so without Liu Hong's personal authentication, only the will, there will be some variables in this matter.

Of course, Liu Bei and the other four should take over Liu Hong's greatest military exploits, but the court bureaucrats who have the strongest talents in fighting for power and profit will also have a lot of ideas about this.

Among the group of four, only Liu Bei has strong prestige and strength, and the other three do not have this ability. Therefore, once the officials in the court decide to attack the group of four, the group of four, except Liu Bei, lacks the ability to confront the officials of the court. their ability to attack.

At present, Liu Bei's foundation in Luoyang is not stable, and he still does not have the strength to fight against the entire Luoyang court alone. He needs the sharing and help of the other three.

In short, the four of them have already divided their interests, but this division of interests has not yet been recognized by the court officials who still have a certain weight in Luoyang.

They have not yet accepted the fact that the interests are all divided up by the four ministers. Once they are ready to reach out to these interests, they will inevitably have a dispute with the plan of the group of four, and then the four ministers will prepare to fight with the various factions of the court officials.

Only by winning this internal battle can their distribution of benefits be truly implemented. Right now, it is an intention, a plan, and has not yet been implemented.

The subordinates understood.

Liu Bei spoke very clearly and plainly, so they have no reason not to understand.

Obviously, Liu Bei believes that the most important thing at the moment is to prevent the court officials from counterattacking. Although the military power is in their hands, it can only be used as a deterrent, and they cannot use knives to kill people.

Before they killed people, they had serious and justified reasons, but if they killed people later, they lacked a legitimate reason and Liu Hong would take the blame.

In the final analysis, if Liu Hong can hold on for another half day and confirm the system of four assistant ministers, then this series of turmoil can be avoided.

However, this is not necessarily a bad thing.

It is not allowed to kill casually. After all, Liu Bei is not a wild version of Dong Zhuo. He cannot be the prime minister or the master of all people. Therefore, he still needs to use his tricky tactics.

"Your Majesty, under the current situation, the court officials still don't know that the emperor is dead, you should act immediately, find someone who is willing to support you, ask them to stand by your side, and confirm everything at the court meeting tomorrow." , Catch those opponents by surprise, so that all the results of the battle can be accepted."

"Oh? It seems that Wenhe has a plan long ago?"

Liu Bei looked at Jia Xu with a smile, and asked, "Wen He, tell me, what's your plan?"

Jia Xu stretched out one hand, with five fingers spread out.

"The battle between modern and ancient Chinese."

Liu Bei nodded in satisfaction.

"Wenhe deserves to be my good assistant, he hits the nail on the head."

The two smiled at each other.

The others looked at each other.

And soon, Xun You reacted.

He thought of the battle between modern and ancient Chinese that was raging in Luoyang City back then. He could vividly remember the grand occasion at that time.

"So that's how it is. It's been so long, You almost forgot that Junhou is still an important person in the ancient literature school."

Many people don't understand what they are talking about, because they really don't know much about the dispute between ancient and modern prose. If you want to understand this matter, you need a certain threshold.

And people who know a lot about this have also realized what Liu Bei is going to do one after another.

"A few years ago, the debate between modern and ancient prose was almost caused by me. After that, because I left Luoyang, the debate between modern and ancient prose fell silent, and people did not pay much attention to the dispute between modern and ancient prose. Until today, the debate between modern and ancient prose In the eyes of many, the battle is almost over.

However, I don’t think so. The debate between modern and ancient literature is not over yet. The modern literature school is still there, and modern and ancient literature classics are still running side by side. This is not the original goal of the ancient literature school. To become a general, of course, help the Ancient Literature School completely defeat the Modern Literature School.

However, the Jinwen school is not without any power at all. They still have some strength, and some people stubbornly insist on the decadent Jinwen classics. This is intolerable for me, but it is difficult for me to defeat them alone , I need the help of many people, and more, power. "
