Xuande

Chapter 138 So, He Was Not Confused

Liu Bei's answer left Lu Zhi speechless.

So when Liu Hong asked him, Lu Zhi proposed to send troops directly to fight.

Of course, Yang Ci stood up and strongly opposed it.

Yang Ci put forward his opinion that he had put forward a long time ago, saying that the thief should be captured first, and the king should be captured first, and the leader of the Taiping Road should be arrested, so that the biggest problem can be solved at the smallest cost.

Lu Zhi objected against his will, claiming that the local government could not complete this task, and might even startle the enemy and destroy the overall layout of the imperial court, so it would be better to send troops directly.

Yang Ci angrily scolded Lu Zhi for being stupid.

Lu Zhi satirized Yang Ci for being pedantic.

Huangfusong was stirring the water aside, watching the excitement without fear of serious incidents.

Zhu Jun, another famous minister with experience in military victories, looked at Yang Ci, and then at Lu Zhi, his eyes watching his nose, nose, nose, and heart. He didn't say a word without Liu Hong asking him during the whole meeting.

The military meeting ended in a quarrel. Liu Hong was so quarreled that his head hurt, so he immediately announced the adjournment and made a decision tomorrow.

Then that night, Liu Hong asked Zhang Rang to secretly order Liu Bei to enter the palace.

In the middle of the night, Liu Bei quietly entered the palace, accepted Liu Hong's questioning, and told Liu Hong everything that had happened before.

Liu Hong laughed angrily.

"Hahahahaha, yes, yes! The high-ranking officials of the public, the rich and powerful, and the favors received by the country for generations, in the end, is this how they repay me? Xuande, your teacher is also very good and loyal. For the sake of the school, you can Ignore the facts!"

As Liu Hong spoke, he felt a little gnashing of teeth.

Liu Bei sighed.

"The teacher never thought that he would do such a thing, but countless reasons forced him to do so. After witnessing the teacher's hesitation and pain, I deeply felt that there are too many things in life. As a last resort.

When this decision was made, the teacher was no longer Lu Zhi. From then on, there would probably be no more Lu Zhi in the world. He had completely become one of the leaders of the School of Classical Classics, and at the same time, a The puppet of the entire school. "

After Liu Hong heard this, he calmed down a little.

"The puppet of the School of Classical Classics... Xuande's words are quite meaningful."

"To be a leader, one must take care of the overall situation. If one cannot take care of the overall situation, one cannot be a leader. Your Majesty should be deeply touched by this, right?"

Liu Bei asked back and told Liu Hong to be silent.

The smell of incense in the palace is very good, and wisps of smoke are wafting out from the copper furnace, which is easy to calm the mind.

After a while, Liu Hong let out a long sigh.

"Unavoidable, unavoidable, too many unavoidable, too many things that you don't want to do but must do, Xuande, what do you think this life is for?"

This conversation actually made Liu Hong start to think about life, which Liu Bei did not expect.

What is life for?

Liu Bei has a very clear goal at every stage of his life. At every stage, he will move forward for that goal, achieve it, and then set the next goal, so he is not at a loss.

But no matter whether it is Liu Hong or Lu Zhi, I am afraid that at this moment, there is no clear life goal that must be achieved.

It is not easy to find this goal. Standing on the peak of history, Liu Bei sees the decline of the next 400 years. He wants to change the decline of the next 400 years, so he can even say that he has a goal relatively easily, and It is naturally difficult for others to find the target when they are standing on flat ground.

"I don't know either."

"Hehehehe."

Liu Hong smiled wryly for a while, and waved his hand.

"I even forgot how many years younger you are than me... Forget it, forget it, Xuande, you talk about the next thing, how should we deal with it?"

"Naturally the right thing to do."

"Aren't you worried that the ancient literature school will be hit by this?"

"A minister is a courtier of a great man, a courtier of His Majesty, not a courtier of the school of ancient literature."

Liu Bei's face was full of loyalty, and he said respectfully: "I will only think about your Majesty and the big man, and will not think about other people."

Liu Hong was silent for a while, then stood up, walked to Liu Bei, and held Liu Bei's hand.

"In this world, after all, it is the clan of the Han family who will be of one mind with me."

Zhang Rang, who was standing on the side as the atmosphere group, raised his head when he heard the words.

Liu Hong noticed it, smiled, and reached out to Zhang Rang.

"It's the same with grandpa, grandpa and I are of the same mind."

Zhang Rang was happy now, his old face was smiling like a chrysanthemum in full bloom.

After that, Liu Hong discussed practical issues with Liu Bei, who had military experience on the battlefield, and worried that Yang Ci's strategy would not achieve great results.

"What Lu Zhi said is also reasonable, in case you startle the snake, this..."

"Even if this strategy can only destroy one of the 36 parties, it is good."

Liu Bei said in a low voice: "It is only one thing that can be destroyed. Every time one is destroyed, the threat of Taipingdao to the big man will be reduced by one point. Reduce casualties."

"A group of thieves, what do you care about casualties?"

Zhang Rang interjected from the side: "The most important thing is to think more about how to quickly suppress the bandit uprising. In this regard, I think Huangfusong did nothing wrong."

"Humans are not plants, human life is at stake!"

Liu Bei was dissatisfied and said: "If you can live one more person, you must live one more person. The Taiping Dao incident is unstoppable, but we must always do our best. Zhang Changshi, accumulate some evil virtues! If you can save people but not save them, it is the same as killing people." He Yi? Killing too many people, aren't you afraid of endangering your own life?"

Zhang Rang was stunned when he heard the words, then rolled his eyes, and didn't say anything else.

He didn't want to lose his life on this kind of problem.

When it comes to his own lifespan, Liu Hong also favors Liu Bei's opinion.

"Is human life at stake? This... Xuande's words are reasonable. If you can reduce the number of deaths, you can reduce the number of deaths. Let's do it according to Yang Ci's opinion, but... Lu Zhi's opinion must also be followed."

Liu Hong smiled and said: "After all, it's Teacher Xuande's opinion. I can't let him lose face. It's true to capture the thief first, but the necessary preparations must be made. The court should also prepare for the mobilization of troops. , this time, we will make a big mobilization."

Zhang Rang rolled his eyes, as if he had some idea.

"Your Majesty, once the Taiping Dao thieves make a big fuss, the entire Kanto region will be unstable, and it will be very involved. This time, there will be a big mobilization of troops. The court may have to appoint a general."

Liu Hong heard the words, thought for a while, and nodded slowly.

"That's right, this time a large-scale mobilization of troops is estimated to involve quite a few states and counties. It is not General Zhonglang who can solve the problem. It is necessary to rename the general."

"The big man didn't have a heavy-duty general in office before. Who does His Majesty prefer to take on this important task?"

Zhang Rang looked at Liu Hong expectantly.

Liu Bei didn't say anything. He didn't care about this matter. He didn't care who was responsible for suppressing the Yellow Turban Uprising, but Zhang Rang seemed to care.

This period of the Eastern Han Dynasty was not like the later period of warlord chaos, where any cat or dog could be a general, and the school lieutenants and Zhonglang generals were even worse and had no status.

In this period now, the school lieutenant and Zhonglang general are mid-to-high-ranking generals who hold actual military power, and the general is an extremely important existence, which is generally not permanent. Jiuqing, Sangong, the highest ranking general is even above Sangong.

Because of the great authority and respected status, the selection of candidates must be more cautious, and the candidate must not be given casually.

Liu Hong thought over and over again, first looked at Liu Bei, then at Zhang Rang.

"Grandfather, who do you choose?"

Zhang Rang was overjoyed, and immediately announced his candidate.

"Your Majesty, the most suitable candidate is Henan Yin, brother of the queen, He Jin."
