Xuande

Chapter 82
In a few words, Liu Bei put the big hat of a thief of the country on the heads of the Fanyue family.

This made Liu Hong very touched.

Liu Hong has to admit that before Liu Bei, no one had ever talked to him about these things and these contents, and no one had ever analyzed the mysteries and pros and cons of them in detail with him.

If no one tells him, he has no way of knowing, can't grasp, and can't act.

Although there is a desire for power and a purpose, the ultimate direction has become a vulgar thing like money.

If you have money, you have power. If you have the most money, you have the most power. You are the emperor.

He once thought so.

But looking at it now, that doesn't seem to be the case.

Thinking back to the time of Guangwu, Xiaoming, and Xiaozhang, how sacred and inviolable the emperor should be?
In a word, the scholars can bow their heads and obey their ears, academic disputes are handled by the emperor, and academic problems are resolved by the emperor.

Liu Hong's eyes were blurred, and he thought about it in his mind, but soon fell into the mortal world again, thinking of the embarrassing situation of himself as the "Luoyang prefect".

He couldn't help feeling angry.

"Xuande, before this, no one has ever analyzed the mystery of this matter with me in detail."

Liu Bei hurriedly knelt down on the ground.

"I am frightened."

"You don't need to panic. You can tell me so much, which is enough to prove your loyalty. What else can I not believe in a righteous man like you?"

Liu Hong walked up to Liu Bei, helped Liu Bei himself, and held his hand: "Compared with you, there is no loyal minister in the Manchu Dynasty, no loyal minister!"

"It's not that there are no loyal ministers in the Manchu Dynasty. It's just that the emperor is weak and his authority is weak, so there are too few loyal ministers."

Liu Bei said slowly: "As long as Your Majesty is uplifted and the Son of Heaven is strong, then there will be no ministers who are not loyal ministers."

Liu Hong was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing.

After laughing for a while, Liu Hong patted Liu Bei's shoulder happily.

"Xuande's words won my heart! As long as the Son of Heaven is strong and full of court officials, who would dare to be unfaithful?"

Liu Hong held Liu Bei's hand tightly, nodded repeatedly, and there seemed to be thousands of lofty ambitions emerging in his heart.

After a while, he looked at Zhang Rang.

"Grandpa, call Zhao Zhong here, there are some things I want to talk to him about."

Zhang Rang understood what Liu Hong meant.

"His Majesty……"

"Grandpa, I hope you can support me in this matter."

"…………"

Zhang Rang was silent for a while, nodded, and went to call Zhao Zhong.

Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong were the two with the highest status and the most powerful among the ten permanent servants, and they were also the two most trusted by Liu Hong. They were persuaded, and the matter was almost settled.

So Liu Hong asked Liu Bei to come forward to persuade Zhao Zhong.

Zhao Zhong is not easy to persuade, but in terms of verbal swords, Zhao Zhong is far from Liu Bei's opponent.

He felt annoyed, but he was not convinced. He was already full of malice towards Liu Bei who had offended him, and he didn't want to lose the benefits he was about to get.

Zhang Rang stood up at the critical moment, pulled Zhao Zhong to whisper, and made it clear that Liu Hong had been persuaded by Liu Bei, and continuing to argue would only make Liu Hong feel unhappy, and it would be of no benefit to them.

Why don't you agree first, wait and see the effect later, if you succeed, won't the benefits be much more than what you get now?
If it failed, it would be easier. When Liu Hong became angry, Liu Bei would be thrown out as a scapegoat, and he would definitely die.

At that time, it will be a mess inside and out, and they will do a lot, so it's okay to bear it for a while.

Don't suffer in front of your eyes!

After hearing this, Zhao Zhong weighed it carefully for a while, and felt that what Zhang Rang said made sense, so he nodded and decided to be patient for now.

The two leading eunuchs were persuaded, and the next step was to call other talkers in the eunuch group.

There are not only ten attendants, but to be specific, there are twelve.

In addition to Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong, there are ten more, with different influences, but they all hold the positions of Zhongchang servants and control part of the court power.

Twelve eunuchs gathered together and held a rather special discussion meeting with Liu Hong, Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong.

Liu Bei didn't participate, he was just making suggestions behind the scenes, and he didn't stand in front of the stage. The fewer people who knew about it, the better.

The specific content of this meeting is that Liu Hong is going to hand over some benefits to the School of Classical Classics, in order to provoke a struggle between the School of Classical Classics and the School of Modern Classics, and prompt both sides to bite dogs.

At the same time, led by the emperor, a tacit cooperation between the School of Classical Classics and the eunuch group was realized.

After everyone joins hands to completely overwhelm the Jinwen Jing school, and then share the benefits that were handed over after the Jinwen Jing school fell, it will naturally be full of food.

Naturally, the great eunuchs were full of doubts at the beginning, thinking that this strategy would definitely not work. It was almost a matter of course for scholars to look down on eunuchs. How could they be willing to cooperate with eunuchs to deal with their own people?

And seeing the meat that can be eaten in the mouth, who is willing to spit it out?

At this time, one needs to drive the big guy.

Zhang Rang stood up.

"Our current status is inseparable from His Majesty's trust and entrustment. Now that Your Majesty asks for it, how can we go against His Majesty's will? It is our biggest fault to make Your Majesty feel unhappy."

So Zhang Rang took the lead in expressing his willingness to transfer part of the interests belonging to his own faction to be used in this major event.

After Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong, who was angry, also stood up and expressed his willingness to transfer part of the interests belonging to his faction to Liu Hong for major affairs.

The two chief eunuchs both agreed to this matter, and the rest of the great eunuchs look at me and I look at you, and feel that if they don't agree to this matter today, they probably won't be able to make it through.

Although he was unwilling, if he didn't agree to this matter today, if he was hated by the emperor, Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong, it would be difficult to turn over if he put on small shoes in the future.

One after another, they all recognized it.

A good man does not suffer from immediate losses.

As a result, the eunuch group reluctantly reached a consensus, unified their pace, and expressed their support for this action.

Afterwards, Liu Hong was very happy when he summoned Liu Bei.

"Xuande's plan is really clever. I want to see if those elders who are full of benevolence, righteousness and morality can withstand the conflict of interests."

Later, Liu Hong planned to promote Liu Bei, but Liu Bei politely refused.

"Your Majesty, I am a very high-profile person. If I am promoted at this time, combined with what happened afterwards, I am afraid that everyone will know that this matter has nothing to do with my minister. I still want to continue spying on the conspiracy of scholars for your majesty." , if your majesty wants to promote a minister, he can be promoted together with a group of scholars of the ancient text school who have been promoted, so that it will not be conspicuous."

Liu Hong thought for a while, nodded, and praised Liu Bei's sobriety.

"Xuande, don't worry, you can spy on the scholars' plots for me and make suggestions. Although you can't be promoted now, if the big things happen, your name as a clan member of the Han Dynasty will never be dusted."

Liu Bei was overjoyed and immediately nodded.

"Chen, Liu Bei, thank God!"

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"

Liu Hong looked up to the sky and laughed very proudly, as if he had found an opportunity to deal with the scholars and revive the imperial power of the Great Han Central Committee, and was about to win the final victory.

This palace plot ended in a weird atmosphere, but Liu Hong didn't seem to notice.

On the way out of the palace, Zhang Rang walked in front, and Liu Bei followed. The two of them were in a tacit understanding and did not speak.

But walking a few hundred meters away from the gate of the palace, Zhang Rang suddenly stopped and looked back at Liu Bei.

"Liu Xuande, you are very unusual."
