Chapter 497 Liu Xuande Can't Sleep
We have discussed everything that needs to be discussed and done what needs to be done. It is time for this long day to come to an end.

After that, because everyone hadn't had a good rest for a long time, Liu Bei, Zhang Rang and others took a nap in the side hall of the palace in the last spare time before dawn, and squinted a little.

Then, just after dawn, they were called up.

"I haven't been like this for many years. Even if I got up early, I went to bed early. Who would have thought that there would be such a day, and I didn't even have to sleep. Now if you can give me a bed, I just need a bed." Lie down and fall asleep right away...ha..."

Zhang Rang rubbed his eyes, yawned big, and complained to Liu Bei.

Of course Liu Bei is also yawning and sleepy all day, he doesn't need a bed, as long as he is given a pillow, he can sleep till the end of time right now.

But he couldn't, he forcibly controlled his drowsiness, asked someone to wash his face with a basin of cold water, and forcibly cheered himself up.

"Today's things are done well, and you can sleep whenever you want. If you can't do today's things well, can you still sleep? Well, almost, if something happens today, you can sleep forever. Why sleep for a long time when you were born? After death, I will sleep forever~hahahahahaha~"

Liu Bei laughed while wiping his face.

Zhang Rang rolled his eyes when he heard the words, but didn't say much.

With the help of his personal guards, Liu Bei put on the mighty armor, and then joined the subordinates who entered the palace, and arranged for them to wait outside the Chongde Hall in advance, while he entered the hall to have the last "dress rehearsal" with Queen Mother Dong and others.

The notice to all the officials of the imperial court was in place last night, and all Luoyang officials who are still alive have received the notice. They will arrive at the Luoyang Palace at every moment today. There will be an important gathering in the palace, and there will be an announcement of many things that they urgently want to know. things.

When the matter came to an end, Empress Dowager Dong was still a little uneasy. Seeing Liu Bei coming, she was relieved and took the initiative to greet him.

"Xuande, today is up to you."

Liu Bei saluted Empress Dowager Dong.

"This is my duty, and it is also my promise to the late emperor. I will never disappoint the late emperor's expectations."

"well!"

Empress Dowager Dong nodded repeatedly after she finished dressing up, took a few deep breaths, and her expression became less anxious.

Afterwards, Liu Bei, Dong Zhong and the other three met again, and finally confirmed today's business process.

"You're sure enough people will speak up for us, right?"

Zhang Rang looked at Liu Bei: "This is the most important thing, but there must be no omissions. If no one speaks for us at that time, it will be ugly."

"Don't worry, if there are any omissions, I will be counted as the one who raises troops."

Liu Bei nodded and said, "You guys do your own thing well, don't slack off, now is not the time to slack off."

"Ah."

Zhang Rang and the other three nodded together.

After the final rehearsal was over, Dong Zhong called Liu Bei aside, and said in a low voice: "Xuande, Mrs. He is crying and making noise in the palace, and she is on a hunger strike. What should I do? Can you beat her up and let her go on a hunger strike?" be honest?"

"Let her go. Anyway, she is no longer a queen. After the new emperor ascends the throne, what to do with her is the Queen Mother's business. You don't have to worry about anything if you hand over the He family to the Queen Mother."

Liu Bei replied in a low voice: "It's the prince who argues. You have to take good care of him and don't let him commit suicide. The late emperor's last wish was to let him live well, so let him live well."

"I know this, don't worry."

Dong nodded his head, and he had a bottom line in his heart.

At the same time, outside the gate of the palace, the officials who were about to enter the palace to discuss important matters were basically all present.

Careful people found that even the most insignificant officials have come, except for the officials, all the officials have come.

It was kind of uncanny in the past.

In the past, not every official was able to come, even when presenting gifts to the emperor during the New Year's Grand Meeting, but this time, all those little officials who were invisible in the past came.

After yesterday's chaos, until now, they found that some people had disappeared forever. As for the reason for disappearing, they certainly knew the reason.

If you stand in the wrong team, you will be purged.

Some people have some regrets, while others are a little gloating.

For example, a group of officials who originally belonged to the Jinwen School felt gloating.

After the Hedong crisis, the power of the Jinwen School was hit hard with Huangfusong's death and suffered heavy losses.

Before that, Yang Ci's death and Yang Biao's three-year filial piety had already dealt a great blow to them. Although it changed slightly with Huang Wan's entry into the game, after Huang Wan took office as Yuzhou Mu, today's The literary school completely lost its dominance at the top of the Luoyang court.

As a result, there is no one who can represent the entire group in Luoyang of the Jinwen Literature School, unless Yang Biao completes his filial piety and returns.

Right now, if there is anyone who can be represented, then Zhang Xi, the representative of the Zhang family in Xiyang, Runan, who is currently the doctor of the Taizhong, and Huan Dian, the representative of the Long Kanghuan family, who is also the doctor of the Taizhong, can barely be counted.

The two of them once held the positions of the Jiuqing before and after the Hedong crisis, but with the double failure of the Jinwen School in military and politics, the positions of the two of them were also taken by the Yuan family, and they could only hold the positions of no practical significance. Shimizu jobs.

The status is not low, but there is no power.

So I have to say that the Luoyang Incident is almost a civil war of the ancient literature school, which originated from the struggle between Yuan and Lu Zhi.

This wave of the Jinwen School was completely outsiders, except for a few unlucky ones who were included in the must-kill list of Zhang Rang and others, most of them survived.

In contrast to this is the annihilation of the entire army of the Yuan family and its protégés and officials within the sphere of influence of the ancient literature school, as well as the destruction of a part of the ancient literature school.

Therefore, from the perspective of the dispute between modern and ancient Chinese, this time, the forces of the ancient Chinese school have been severely hit, many people have died, and many of their enemies have died, so they are naturally happy.

So after this incident happened, a small meeting was held within the Jinwen School, and everyone discussed it. They felt that this might be an opportunity for the Jinwen School to stand up again and dominate everything.

Although Zhang Xi and Huan Dian didn't have much power, they still had their status, and under the current situation, they felt that Liu Hong was only a few days away, and the crown prince Liu Xie would soon be enthroned.

However, Liu Xie was only eight years old and could not be in charge of the government himself. The imperial power needed someone to hold it on his behalf. Moreover, after the Yuan family was eliminated, so many positions were vacant, which was really eye-catching.

Zhang Xi and Huan Dian brought up at the meeting yesterday the idea that everyone in the Modern Literature School should strive to compete for positions, but they are still discussing how to do it.

They didn't know that Liu Hong was dead. On this crucial issue, they lost the opportunity.

As for the ancient literature school, although there has been a large-scale reduction in personnel, it has made great progress in another aspect.

Such as the degree of solidarity.

Now, under Liu Bei's bridge, the ancient literature school once again has a unified goal.

Lu Zhi and the others had solemn faces and kept silent. Even if there was communication, it was in a low voice. If you don't listen carefully, you won't be able to hear it at all.

Time passed bit by bit, the big bell in the palace rang, and the heavy palace gate slowly opened with the long and dull bell.

Watching the palace gate slowly open, it's time to enter the court.

Lu Zhi didn't hesitate, as if nothing had happened, he walked slowly into the palace.

Lu Zhi took a step forward, and the rest of the officials followed Lu Zhi's pace, forming a long team according to their official positions, and entered the palace gate.
