Xuande

Chapter 165 Is Liu Bei the one who offends you?

Yuan Kui didn't mention the matter of recording ministers. What he meant was that the emperor could try to abolish Yang Ci's right to record ministers. Anyway, this guy didn't make any contribution.

This memorial made Yang Ci angry, so under Yang Ci's instruction, Wei Wei Zhang Xi and Yi Lang Huan Dian submitted a petition to Liu Hong to refute Yuan Kui's proposal.

Yuan Kui was very annoyed, but it was inconvenient to go out in person, so he instigated Xun Shuang, the doctor of Guanglu, Ma Rizun, the doctor of Guanglu, and Cai Yong, the Yilang who had just returned to the capital, to come up with a petition to refute Zhang Xi and Huan Dian's petition.

In this regard, the two sides launched a new round of performance wars, refusing each other's opinions, accusing each other of harboring personal grievances, abolishing the public because of personal interests, etc., scolding is a joy.

The fierce battle was in full swing. In the court, Liu Hong had his own views on this matter.

"It's a good idea to let Lu Zhi stay in Jizhou as a shepherd in Jizhou. He has experience in this field, and I believe in his ability to govern the local area. The problems in Jiujiang County and Lujiang County were handled very well. If he Staying in Jizhou will save you the trouble of re-electing the governor of Jizhou, but Xuande..."

Liu Hong pondered for a while, then looked at Zhang Rang beside him.

"Grandpa, what do you think of this matter?"

Zhang Rang thought about it a few days ago when Liu Bei sent someone to tell him that he had persuaded Lu Zhi not to report that he had violated regulations in several industries in Jizhou, and he had some plans in mind.

He cannot allow either the Ancient Literature School or the Modern Literature School to gain an absolute advantage, to completely suppress or even annex the other side.

Zhang Rang also wanted Liu Bei to know his abilities, so that the foundation for continued cooperation between the two parties could be laid.

I don't want to offend him!

Liu Hong nodded.

Liu Hong has grown up.

Fortunately, he is still willing to trust their group of eunuchs.

Liu Hong said so, smiled, and said, "But speaking of it, looking at the momentum outside this time, it's obvious that once Lu Zhi comes back, he will surely ascend to the position of Sangong."

Moreover, there are many debates in the court about how to rectify the place after the war and how to spend money. It is estimated that everyone is willing to save a fortune by having one less emperor.

Liu Hong suddenly smiled: "Grandpa, what Xuande said is true, the two factions are fighting, and I, the emperor, can be stable. No matter what choice I make, there will definitely be people who are willing to support it. You don't have to worry about them. Letting go of the past, this feeling is really quite good.”

The only slight change Liu Hong made was to revise the content about Liu Bei.

He himself knows that things that go beyond the rules are bad, but the problem is that he is not alone in doing this.

The last cooperation was very pleasant, and Zhang Rang saved a lot of trouble.

After the victory of the war, Liu Bei thought that the Modern Literature School would not let Lu Zhi go back so easily, because Lu Zhi was likely to be promoted to the position of Sangong, but he did not expect that when the conflict between the two sides was so fierce, the Ancient Literature School would actually let Lu Zhi go back. Want to seek the lore of Yang Ci.

After Zhang Rang's nonsense and embellished false accusations in Liu Hong's ear, Liu Hong was obviously also very dissatisfied with this disgraceful clan, and was relatively negative about restoring him to the king after the war.

Zhang Rang nodded repeatedly, and at the same time felt a little emotional in his heart.

Liu Hong finally made his choice.

"I think so too. They may care more about Lu Zhi than Xuande, but I am the opposite. I care more about Xuande than Lu Zhi."

Liu Hong is very proud of this idea.

So he needs Liu Bei to be his counselor, to plan for him how to go next.

Under the influence of Liu Bei, Liu Hong seemed to have really grown up, and the emperor became more and more handsome.

It's okay to play with them.

"Grandpa also thinks that Lu Zhi is worthy of the position of the third prince?"

Relying on his thinking and cognition, he believes that at present, it is not in his interest to let Lu Zhi return to Luoyang. Once Lu Zhi returns, it will cause an imbalance of power between the ancient literature school and the modern literature school. It will put the Jinwen School in crisis.

"Your Majesty, this mainly depends on what you think. In the final analysis, the focus of the two factions' struggle is still on Lu Zhi. As for Liu Bei, it may just be incidental. After all, he is too young."

Just double standard each other!

"The decision has been made."

When the situation shows this tendency, he must act in time to reverse the situation, so that the situation of the two tigers fighting can continue.

Now he yearns very much for the era of Emperor Guangwu, Emperor Ming, and Emperor Zhang, and the era when the Holy Son of Heaven ruled everything. He enjoys the feeling of being respected, admired and needed.

Zhang Rang pondered for a while, and secretly sent someone to Jizhou to tell Liu Bei about Liu Hong's decision and what happened to Luo Yang, so that Liu Bei could have a mental preparation.

Zhang Rang thought so.

As for Liu Bei asking him to help with the operation, it is a little difficult. It is not easy to kill a Zongwang, but it is not so difficult to make him lose something.

That is to say, Liu Hong decided to adopt Yang Ci's suggestion, and Zhang Rang also agreed with this.

"Justice is at ease in people's hearts, and people's hearts are at ease with scholars. If scholars treat it this way, that's what it is."

So Zhang Rang sent Zuo Feng to Jizhou again as a secret contact person, found Liu Bei in Xinducheng, told Liu Bei all these things, and then conveyed Zhang Rang's meaning.

Zhang Rang said with a smile: "However, His Majesty can decide whether to appoint or not. No matter how they push, if Lu Zhi does not come back, it will be nothing."

"Has His Majesty made a decision?"

Zhang Rang nodded.

Is it you who offended me?

By the way, he also wanted to know Liu Bei's opinion on this matter. If Liu Bei had a different view on this matter, Zhang Rang felt that he had to tell Liu Hong.

But now he is not in a hurry to announce his decision. He wants to keep the School of Modern Literature and the School of Ancient Literature arguing for a while longer. Anyway, this battle has not been completely over yet. Huangfusong and Zhu Jun still have some work to do. Don't worry, just let them quarrel.

Although he is not a natural monarch with outstanding talents, even if he is just a middle-aged man, if he uses it in the right direction, he will still look like an emperor.

"Grandpa and I want to go together. How good is the current situation? The two factions are fighting each other, and no one can help the other, but once Lu Zhi comes back, I'm afraid the situation will be unstable. After all, Yang Ci is old and alone. , how can we hold Lu Zhi and Yuan Kui together?"

Many people do this in localities, Liaodong, Jiangnan, Shuzhong, those places where the sky is high and the emperor is far away, there are not many people who close their doors to be the emperor of the earth, but only an eunuch like him will be punished for doing such a thing. Report it, and everyone else doesn't care.

In this case, how could Liu Bei leave him?

"Lu Zhi has been an official for many years, and he has many military exploits. He has served as Erqianshi and an official of the imperial court. He has profound qualifications. Now he has become the family of Fanyue, and his prestige is growing. Once he returns to Luoyang, the ancient literature school will definitely push Lu Zhi to become the third prince. position, it is very likely that he will not give up until he achieves his goal.”

Zhang Rang also found it funny in private, Liu Xu, an idiot, doesn't he ask for the latest news about Luoyang City?Don't you know the political wind direction in Luoyang City?
Who is Liu Bei?

Liu Hong looked at Zhang Rang, and after a while, he grinned.

This guy Yuan Kai is really worthy of being the king of overturning cars. He does have a lot of ability, but maybe he is too noble, and he is used to being supercilious, so that he has a certain deep thinking pattern.

He always felt that he was omnipotent, and that whatever he wanted to do, he would definitely be able to do.

No wonder he died at the hands of Dong Zhuo.

And what made Liu Bei very upset was that these guys actually only wanted to let Lu Zhi go back, and they didn't have any opinion about themselves, as if they wanted to abandon themselves to protect Lu Zhi to death.
