Xuande

Chapter 179 The Ministry of General Affairs of the Ancient Literature School

Even if Zheng Xuan is a scholarly official who doesn't like politics, at this moment, his trembling heart tells him that what Liu Bei said is completely correct.

Judging from the size of the Yuan family and the Xun family, unless they themselves are stupid, there is basically no possibility of completely overthrowing them and destroying them in one go.

For such a family, the family leader does not mean everything about the family, the family leader serves the family in a sense.

If not qualified, who knows what other family members will do?

In this era when the real Lu Fengxian has not yet entered the stage of history, the imperial power can be taken away from the emperor openly, so what power cannot be taken away from an individual?
Yuan Kui has not many brothers, but there are also people of the same generation in the whole family, not a few.

Xun Shuang even has seven brothers.

Without them, knowing that Xun Shuang and Yuan Wei died personally, but the Yuan family and the Xun family are still there, as long as the family is preserved, is the personal honor and even life of Yuan Wei and Xun Shuang really important?

Everyone laughs at Lu Fengxian, and everyone is Xiao Fengxian.

Zheng Xuan was silent for a while, as if he was dissatisfied with Liu Bei's thoughts.

After Zheng Xuan finished speaking, he looked at Liu Bei expressionlessly, and suddenly smiled again, blinking at Liu Bei.

"…………"

Besides the children of these six families, there should not be too many people who admire Liu Bei and are willing to follow Liu Bei.

"Xuande, sometimes I also wonder whether I shouldn't have come to Luoyang from the very beginning, whether it would be better for me to continue writing books in my hometown."

Liu Bei was startled, not knowing what Zheng Xuan meant.

The upper echelons of the other ancient literature schools often have the mentality of using these people. After using them, they find that they are not easy to fool and manipulate, so they decide to stay away from them and throw them away.

Liu Bei was silent for a while and didn't reply.

"Am I right?"

Of course they belong to the large group of the ancient literature school, but... they are under the premise of obeying my call.

"Duke Zheng agrees?"

Zheng Xuan said with a smile: "It is true that the ancient literature school cannot do without Yuan Kai and Xun Shuang, but in my opinion, it cannot do without you, Liu Xuande."

Zheng Xuan raised his head and looked at the vast sky.

Logically speaking, he would not be able to see it, because this is beyond the times. In any case, it is impossible for Zheng Xuan to have such a vision beyond the times, and be able to understand what he specifically wants to do.

As for the organization that he will form and control, Liu Bei temporarily named it the Ministry of General Affairs, the Ministry of General Affairs of the ancient literature school.

Liu Bei took a deep breath, let it out slowly, and said slowly: "Duke Zheng, Bei is still young, so I can't help being scared."

"Whatever you want to do, just do it. You are right, I am the leader of the ancient literature school, and I should indeed do what a leader should do."

Zheng Xuan was noncommittal about this, but told Liu Bei to do it first, and then talk about it after getting things done.

"Duke Zheng, this is not sinister enough."

Liu Bei said in a low voice: "The ancient literature school needs a leader, and Zheng Gong is the leader who can unite people's hearts and convince the people. At present, the school seems to be powerful, but in Bei's eyes, it is in dire straits. At this critical moment, Zheng Gong acts as a leader. Leader of the school, do you want to stand by and watch?"

But in fact, Liu Bei's purpose is to control this executive agency in his own hands, to carry out a more rigorous organizational structure, to organize this loose sand from scratch, and to make it appear to be the power of the ancient literature school. But it is his own sharp blade and trumpet.

"I agree that it's useless, what matters is that you do well."

The ancient literature school and the modern literature school, the two large-scale political unions, do not have this concept. They only have a high-level consultation mechanism and no other mechanism. Moreover, the entire world has such a mechanism, and it is estimated that only the Luoyang court and the Governments everywhere.

That is to say, a department dedicated to doing dirty work.

"Hahahahahaha."

Zheng Xuan and Liu Bei looked at each other, and after a while, Zheng Xuan sighed helplessly.

"Xuande, why do you think the situation is so dangerous?"

Zheng Xuan laughed for a while, patted Liu Bei's shoulder, and said with a smile: "That's why I find it more interesting, Xuande, you are still so young, don't always think about these things secretly by yourself, think too much, think for a long time , Gradually, even looking up and seeing the light is a difficult thing.”

What a cute little old man.

At that time, Liu Bei, the de facto "Minister of Propaganda", went to appease these emotionally unstable young scholars, and the big bosses at the top were not interested in this kind of hard work at all.

Coupled with the high-powered personages Liu Bei created in Luoyang City, such as classic debate masters, great Han poets, etc., the scholars of the young and strong faction know Liu Bei, and everyone knows it.

Anyway, the upper echelons of the ancient literature school look down on these second-, third-rate or even low-level scholars, and there are also things they don't want to do, so it's better to use such a department to handle things.

With Zheng Xuan's approval and endorsement, Liu Bei decided not to waste any more time. He told Zheng Xuan that this newly established organization would obey Zheng Xuan's orders, and that if Zheng Xuan needed to do anything, this organization would definitely do it for him.

For a period of time in the future, the name of the organization will be announced to the outside world, which means to help the ancient literature school deal with the affairs that the common people will do that the masters don't want to touch.

Zheng Xuan didn't speak for a moment, and after a while, he spoke slowly.

But Zheng Xuan's smile always made Liu Bei feel that he could see the thoughts in his heart.

The goal this time, ostensibly, is to build an executive organization belonging to the ancient literature school to accept and unite the vast number of scholars of the ancient literature school.

Liu Bei nodded, and did what he said.

Taking advantage of the seven or eight days before he took office, he called out the children of the Zhao family, Li family, Wang family, Zheng family, Yin family, and Han family who had not been assigned errands before, called them into a meeting, and arranged for them some tasks.

Liu Bei probably understood Zheng Xuan's meaning, but Liu Bei was not sure if Zheng Xuan could see what he wanted to do and what he wanted to achieve in the end.

A "counterattack" will control their mentality to death.

In addition, Liu Bei likes to show his face, and there are not a few people who have seen Liu Bei with his own eyes, ate at the same table with him, and talked face to face.

The children of the Zhao, Li, Wang, Zheng, Yin, and Han clans were the first to contact him and had the most frequent contacts with him. They had a personal relationship with him, so they became his team at the earliest.

"Xuande, they are wrong, they should not let Zigan leave Luoyang, but should let you leave Luoyang."

No one can command this organization but me.

Since an organization is to be created, it is natural to have a clear organizational hierarchy and a clear division of responsibilities.

So Liu Bei is going to start with this group of people who have had direct contact with him and who he still has a clear impression of, and include them under his command.

"If Zheng Gong does not come, there will be no ancient literature school today."

From the time of the previous two crises of the ancient literature school, Liu Bei had a very high prestige among the group of scholars who he regarded as the young school and outsiders in the eyes of the other ancient literature school leaders.

However, in the last years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, this mobilization mechanism was old and decayed, and there were big problems.

There are no people who should be there, and people who shouldn't be are everywhere. People who do things are exhausted, and people who don't do things and get paid are so many that it is jaw-dropping.

On the one hand, there are too many people, and on the other hand, the efficiency of handling affairs is astonishingly low. This is the common problem of the central court and local government in the Eastern Han Dynasty that Liu Bei observed.

When it's his turn, of course he will have his own ideas.
