The implementation of such an elimination system will have little impact on ordinary officials.
They were originally from King Juan, and they had no family interests. They could just take care of themselves, and nothing else mattered. They were just like the so-called barefoot people who are not afraid of wearing shoes.
But for officials with family origins, many family officials who entered the officialdom through special channels are not capable at all.
They talk very easily, but when they actually get started, they can't do it without help.
Once the new system is confirmed and implemented, these people will face a severe test. Those animals at Yushitai are definitely not joking. Liu Bei asked them to bite people, and they will really bite people.
In the past, many local officials in Bingzhou and Youzhou were bitten, and the Luoyang court replaced them with a new group of more reliable officials.
In this wave, many officials have been bitten in the four states of the Central Plains, which has damaged the interests of local big families to a certain extent.
It is easy for a big family to have talented people, but it is also very likely for mediocre people and losers to appear. In the past, only talented people, mediocre people, and losers could become officials. Nowadays, only mediocre people with good talents and good luck can become officials, but losers cannot become officials.
In terms of specific numbers, the number of mediocre people and losers far exceeds the number of talents. Once the official positions of the latter two groups are unstable, their political interests will be greatly affected by the wealthy families.
Therefore, during this wave, there was great resistance within the Ancient Literature School and the eunuch group, who did not want Liu Bei to pass this policy.
The Ancient Literature School openly told Liu Bei about this matter at the meeting, saying that they did not support it and believed that this system might only be applicable to Liangzhou. It was hard to say whether it would be applicable to other places. If it was implemented rashly, it might cause some unexpected troubles.
.
The old scholars of the ancient literature school represented by Zheng Tai and Jia Xi strongly do not support this.
", you have failed to consider this matter. You cannot always do everything as you say, and there are many people who have made contributions to the Han Dynasty. If they all use your method, one person who has made contributions to the Han Dynasty will
If a person is dismissed from office, won’t the people of the world be heartbroken by this?”
"It's good that you have good ideas, and we are very willing to support them, but you always have to discuss it with us. Don't always come up with a decree to let us know suddenly, so that we can't discuss it with you in advance.
Isn’t it?”
"There are some things we can support you on, but there are some things for which it is better for you to think twice before taking action. When it comes to matters involving officials and official positions, I think you should be calmer and think more."
There are also many contradictions and concerns within the ancient literature school about this matter. The conservative forces led by Zheng Tai and others have a negative attitude on this matter, believing that the introduction of this elimination mechanism will greatly damage their interests.
After all, what they did to help Liu Bei defeat the Jinwen School was to become the Jinwen School. No matter how alarmist Liu Bei said before, when the matter came to pass, what they cared about most was their own status and interests.
and family interests.
They have done so much with their family, paid so much, and waited so much. What they need is some stable and lasting political interests, such as the control of a certain position in the Luoyang court, or the control of a certain county in a certain state.
The prefect of the country has the power to control the country.
Just like Liu Bei's absolute control over the area west of Luoyang, they also want such absolute control.
What they want is something real, something that can benefit future generations and the family. They want to divide these powers together so that their families can hold these key positions for a long time to gain long-term success.
Profit and honor.
Become a more powerful Jinwen school.
Rather than being involved in involution under the new elimination mechanism with those guys who failed to help in the battle of modern and ancient texts - they fought just because they didn't want to be involved in involution, but now Liu Bei wants to introduce a new involution mechanism
?
This makes them feel extremely embarrassed.
When the Modern Literature School was around, I wrote it, and when the Modern Literature School disappeared, I continued to write it. Then wasn’t it that I was fighting the battle between modern and ancient Chinese literature in vain?
No!
As for the eunuch group, they did not dare to confront Liu Bei head-on, so they asked Zhang Rang, who was close to Liu Bei, to come forward to discuss the matter with Liu Bei, saying that the people in their faction were not that good in political ability, but there was a reason.
of.
Hongdu School cannot cultivate a few outstanding people, and truly outstanding people are not willing to play with them. They can only rely on a group of middle-aged people to maintain their interests. For the sake of so many years of cooperation, the Eunuch Group hopes to cooperate with them.
Liu Bei reached private cooperation.
They knew that it would be difficult to stop Liu Bei, but after the policy was implemented, they were willing to exchange some economic benefits for political benefits, hoping that Liu Bei would agree.
It can be said that this wave is different from the previous promulgation of the slave restriction order. Although Liu Bei did not explicitly target everyone, he still carried the banner of political correctness, but his actions were already a bit marginal. This caused the ancient literature school
and the unanimous vigilance of the eunuch group.
They began to be wary and worried about whether Liu Bei would do something that would harm their interests. Liu Bei had expected this kind of vigilance, so he didn't find it strange.
Liu Bei believed that compared with the overt opposition of the Ancient Literature School, the secret opposition of the eunuch group was also a kind of temptation, and Liu Bei disliked this kind of temptation.
After he killed those big eunuchs, the eunuch group was subdued by him, but when their core interests were threatened, no matter how afraid of Liu Bei, they still had to stand up and express their attitude.
If Liu Bei wants them to die, they will never sit still and wait to die.
They just want Liu Bei to understand this truth.
So Zhang Rang's meaning is very clear.
"If you really promote this policy and implement it strictly, it will be a big threat to the eunuchs. They ask you not to do this, or to be lenient to them. They can use what you want.
Come and exchange, as long as they can afford it."
Liu Bei looked at Zhang Rang for a while, and then smiled.
"Are you speaking to me from the standpoint of Lao Zhang, or are you speaking to me from the standpoint of Zhang Rang, the aide of Zhongchang?"
"Um?"
Zhang Rang was stunned for a moment, and then realized the meaning of Liu Bei's words.
What Liu Bei needs to determine is whether Zhang Rang is communicating with him on this matter from the perspective of his friend, or negotiating with him on this matter from the perspective of an eunuch.
This may determine Liu Bei's attitude towards him and the specific asking price.
This issue made Zhang Rang very cautious. He had previously considered the issue as a eunuch and felt that Liu Bei might do something terrible, so he was instinctively worried.
But what Liu Bei said now made him realize that there might be something wrong with his way of thinking about the problem.
It might be more meaningful if we consider this issue not as a eunuch, but simply as an ally of Liu Bei.
What Liu Bei needs is not eunuchs, but... friends.
He thought about it and came to a conclusion.
"I'm talking to you from Lao Zhang's point of view."
So Liu Bei nodded.
"In this case, my answer to Lao Zhang is that you'd better not get involved in this matter, jump out and don't do anything, or try your best to persuade some people you like not to go against me.
Just leave the others alone."
Liu Bei walked forward with a smile and patted Zhang Rang on the shoulder: "Old Zhang, I have a message for you, which is very suitable here. Give up helping others and respect the fate of others."
