Xuande

Chapter 720

Jian Shuo's servant acted quickly, and within a short while, the news was sent to Liu Bei's residence.

The servant took Jian Shuo's token and told Liu Bei everything Jian Shuo had told him.

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

Cheng Yu, who accompanied him when he heard about it, felt very angry, and suggested to Liu Bei to give Zheng Tai, Jia Xi and others a little shock at the General's Mansion, and get rid of them all.

"They obviously don't intend to support your plan anymore. If this continues, it will be a very dangerous thing for you. I suggest you take precautions early, act first, and get rid of them all!"

Cheng Yu still supports the simple and rude way of doing things, which is to crush them so straightforwardly and crush them.

But Liu Bei has a different view on this matter.

"It's a very good thing that they can come forward to oppose me. At least let me know how many people are still opposing me inside and outside the court until now. At that time, I will deal with them on the grounds of plotting rebellion. Tian and disposing of them has much less impact.

Although it is fundamentally because of Dutian that they have to be dealt with, but Dutian involves too many people, and the plot to rebel is more legitimate and will not cause widespread panic. The fewer powerful enemies, the easier it is for Dutian to succeed, isn't it? "

Liu Bei looked at Cheng Yu with a smile.

Cheng Yu's complexion was not relaxed.

"What you said is very reasonable, but I am very worried that they will take the lead because of your strength and adopt more covert assassination methods. If someone really wants to harm you, they can find an opportunity."

Liu Bei agrees with this.

"I know, I understand this truth, that's why I formed the Tiger Guards, but to be honest, if they really use the assassination method against me again, then I really think they will be like that.

Assassinating me, as long as you can't kill me, it's tantamount to handing me the butcher knife to kill them. Is this a bad thing?If they assassinate me, it is justified for me to liquidate them, and no one can say no.

When all kinds of means are exhausted and all the enemies exposed on the bright side are wiped out, in fact, the enemies we really have to deal with will be weakened to the weakest state. Chances are it worked out. "

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

Afterwards, Liu Bei asked Cheng Yu to focus more on the affairs of the General's Mansion, to put more effort into the upcoming government affairs meeting, the elimination of officials, and the garrison system of the military region, so that these policies could be implemented as soon as possible.

As long as these policies are put into practice, it will be meaningless for Zheng Tai and others to oppose them, and it will be meaningless for them to win people over to resist them.

Because although there are stupid people all over the world, there are also smart people, and more are speculators.

Only fools would help them, neither wise men nor speculators would do such a thing.

Huang Wan, for example, is a really smart person. Zheng Tai went to chat with him. After chatting for a while, Huang Wan suddenly had a stomachache, farted a few times, and ran to the toilet with his hands on his buttocks.

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 ended badly.

Huang Wan also later sent someone to tell Liu Bei about this matter, saying that he had no interest in Zheng Tai at all, and he did not agree with Zheng Tai's ideas at all, and expressed his political inclination by the way.

What is a smart person?
This is called a smart person.

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

As for the fake opposition like Zheng Tai and Jia Xi, it's hard to say.

Afterwards, Zheng Tai and Jia Xi also visited many people along the way. Some officials in the imperial court who were not former students of Liu Bei visited many people. Even Yang Xiu got invitations from them because of his special background.

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

Of course Yang Xiu didn't show up at the meeting, he wasn't stupid, he couldn't be mixed with Zheng Tai and others, and Liu Bei never expected that these two guys would be so stupid.

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

The lives and safety of the entire Yang clan are under Liu Bei's control. You let Yang Xiu, a young man, play Infernal Affairs with you?
It can only be said that the heart is really big.

By the beginning of November in the fourth year of Jian'an, many things had been settled. The departments that should be formed, the people that should be recruited, and the rules that should be run have all started a new round of operation. The political situation of the Han Empire and the past It's completely different.

Generally speaking, a considerable number of people in the middle and upper classes of the Han Empire were in a state of restlessness.

And this happens for two reasons.

Politically, the preparation of the government affairs conference and the implementation of the system of eliminating officials have made many people worried, worrying that they will be the unlucky ones to be eliminated.

In terms of military affairs, the local stationing of the imperial army made some people feel anxious, and the preparations for the Zhongshutai and the county soldiers made some people feel that the rain is about to come.

Liu Bei is extending his tentacles of power from Luoyang to every inch of land in the country. If everyone is not his own, he will become his target.

No one escapes, no one is spared.

The old days, it seems, are truly gone forever.

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

He will set up a special department in the General's Mansion to accept government suggestions and doubts from all over the world. He will watch them regularly and choose some meaningful ones to answer in person, so as to reply people all over the world to their concerns about court politics.

For his own move, Liu Bei explained to his cronies around him.

"The subtle changes in the situation have caused my image of being approachable before to change. Many people have begun to fear my power and identity more and more, and in the fear, there is an emotion called dissatisfaction. The more fear, the more dissatisfaction.

In the past, I've addressed a lot of people's fears by being approachable, but things have changed and it's no longer appropriate to use the old way, so we need to give the outside world a whole new channel and respond occasionally so that they think I'm still approachable, just too busy. "

For Liu Bei's idea, the cronies and subordinates agreed, and felt that it might have unexpected effects in a tense and delicate struggle environment.

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

He doesn't have the time to read all the hundreds or thousands of letters, and some of them are purely emotional, which he doesn't think is necessary, but he will ask people to pick out a small number of such letters, and find a time to reply occasionally One letter, creating an illusion of prosperity that opens up the way of speaking.

As for what he reads the most, he still takes this opportunity to show him his talents and put forward some letters written by people who put forward some ideas of governing the country. These people will write in their letters some good ways to govern the country in their eyes. I hope Liu Bei can adoption.

Maybe it can also get Liu Bei's attention because of this, so that he can jump up and realize the class transition?
Isn't this a great opportunity?
Liu Bei also hopes to see something different from it, or to learn about some specific trends in the contemporary ideological world——

At present, after the collapse of the Jinwen School and the elimination of the theological Confucian academic dictatorship dominated by "Baihu Tongyi", a new academic environment led by the Ancient Literature School and based on "Jiade Tongyi" has not yet been formally established .

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

The concept of respecting ghosts and gods and keeping a distance is only implemented in the political life of the imperial court. At other levels, the academic and ideological atmosphere left by the Jinwen School is still shrouded.

People say that small boats are easy to turn around, but big boats are not easy to turn around. This is true, that is, at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, this chaotic society that most people were dissatisfied with, was about to collapse, and was only one step away from the troubled times, was operated by Liu Bei. space.

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