Listening to Liu Bei's words, Xun You's originally tense body suddenly relaxed.
He passed, he passed completely.
This time, he completely overcame the trust crisis brought by the Xun family to him. From then on, his identity was different from that of the Xun family in a certain sense.
This is both a good thing and a bad thing for him, but for now, the good side outweighs the bad side.
Therefore, Xun You was not sad.
He gave Liu Bei his own suggestions.
"Your Majesty, although you did cooperate with the eunuchs this time, this is the last emperor's order, so you can use this as an entry point and ask Ruan to spread public opinion in Luoyang, seize the key points of loyalty, and respond to many criticisms with loyalty
, in this way, you can maintain your reputation to the greatest extent.”
Liu Bei nodded with satisfaction, pointed at Xun You, and looked at the other subordinates.
"Everyone, you must learn from Gongda. We all forgot about today's great victory. Only Gongda saw the danger, raised it, and thought of a way. Gongda is worthy of being my good assistant, and he will be in the court in the future.
Above all, I can’t do it without Gongda’s help.”
Everyone looked at Xun You who had no expression on his face with envy and a little jealousy, wondering why he didn't raise this question himself.
Jia Xu looked at Xun You and once again confirmed that Xun You was indeed his strong competitor beside Liu Bei. This man was extremely resourceful and could always discover things that others could not see.
He looks loyal and honest, but also a bit stupid. At first glance, you would really think that he is a pure honest person.
But this person has a delicate mind and precise vision, and he can hit the key points when looking at things. He is definitely a very capable guy.
He persuaded Liu Bei to keep him for the sake of Liu Bei's great cause.
And competing with him is for yourself.
Jia Xu thought so.
In terms of loyalty to Liu Bei, Jia Xu boasted that no one would surpass him. Even Liu Bei's biggest desire, Jia Xu felt that he already knew it, but Xun You obviously didn't know this yet.
Xun Gongda, don't get me wrong.
My loyalty is above yours!
Afterwards, Liu Bei handed over the task of manipulating public opinion to his old subordinate Ruan Yu, and asked Ruan Yu, who was responsible for controlling public opinion in Liangzhou, to show his professionalism and prepare to fully control the public opinion in Luoyang City.
He must be prepared to fight a public opinion war in the public opinion field, control the high ground of public opinion, and maintain the image he has established over the years - this image will still be useful when dealing with opponents in Kanto in the future, and cannot be abandoned. It needs to be maintained and continued to operate.
Ruan Yu accepted the order and decided to fight to the death for the reputation of his idol.
What is collaborating with eunuchs - that's called loyalty! Do you understand loyalty? Do you understand the three cardinal principles and the five constant principles?
Tell me what’s number one!
The king is the guide for the minister!
This was admitted by the White Tiger Temple members themselves back then!
Want to regret it?
After all the instructions were completed and everyone was satisfied, Liu Bei finally got some time to rest and relax a little.
At this moment, it was already the middle of the night on the second day after the coup.
After eating something hastily, Liu Bei said that he really wanted to sleep, but if he counted the time, he could sleep for an hour and it would be almost dawn.
After dawn, there were still many things to be dealt with in the palace, and many people were waiting for me to assign tasks. I also had to appease people's hearts and manage and plan many things for the future.
He is now the general, the chief minister, and the de facto boss of the Han Dynasty. He will no longer have much time left at his disposal. Faced with this old empire full of ills, he wants to reincarnate it.
Rebirth is not that easy.
So Liu Bei was very depressed. He didn't know how much sleep he would get in the next few decades.
But the good news is, maybe you can go to bed early tonight.
So Liu Bei couldn't rest for too long. After resting for an hour, he was woken up by Jia Xu.
After waking up, Liu Bei felt dizzy and tired, so he refreshed himself with cold water on his face again, slapped his cheeks, and forced himself to wake up.
Fortunately, he was still young, and he didn't have the bad habit of staying up late to cultivate immortality before. When he had nothing to do, he always went to bed early and got up early, lived a regular life, and didn't stay up late, drink or eat late-night snacks, so he quickly recovered.
Just some complaints.
"My nerves have been tense these past few days. The whole day before, I only slept less than two sticks of incense. I feel deeply exhausted. When this matter is over, I will have a good sleep.
The kind that sleeps until dawn and wakes up naturally.”
Liu Bei put on serious court clothes with Jia Xu's help, and then yawned greatly.
Jia Xu smiled.
"After today, you are the most powerful and the biggest person in the Han Dynasty. You can sleep whenever you want. No one can stop you. Even the emperor must respect you. Are you afraid that you don't have time?
sleep?"
"Wen He, the biggest person is often empty-handed. Every day when I open my eyes, the insects in the entire empire are rushing to bring the troubles caused by my crimes, just waiting for me to deal with them. How much free time can I have?
"
Liu Bei smiled bitterly and said: "Sometimes I wonder, is it easy for me to fight for power and profit? Now that I have finally won, I thought that when I became powerful, I could show off my power, enjoy luxury, and make everyone in the world envy me and obey me.
The result? The more power you have, the more trouble you have, and the more things you have to do. More and more people are causing trouble for their own selfish interests. If they can't solve it themselves, they just throw it at me and point fingers at me for help.
They solve problems.
Am I not their superior? Am I not very powerful? But why do I feel that I am their servant? Is the power I have so much for me or for them?"
Jia Xu originally thought that Liu Bei was pretending to be low-key, luxurious and meaningful, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that what Liu Bei said was not unreasonable.
Indeed, as long as you are responsible, the more power you have, the more you will feel like you are everyone's servant.
Because he has a sense of responsibility, he has to do everything and wipe the butts of all those who are irresponsible.
So, is this boss really the boss?
That's really hard to say.
Jia Xu sighed.
"You are good at everything, but you are too responsible. You always feel that you can do anything. But there are so many things in the world, so how can you do it alone? The world is so big that not one person can do it.
Solve the problem."
Liu Bei shook his head.
"It's not that I want to do this. There are really too many insects, and what they do is too stupid and greedy. I really can't stand it. If we don't clean up the stupid things they do, many people will suffer for it.
, I feel uneasy."
"Although Xu has no talent, he is still willing to sacrifice for your ambition."
Jia Xu cupped his hands and said: "If you are willing to trust Xu, Xu is willing to share your worries and eradicate insects from the world."
"Of course, if you don't say so, I will do it anyway."
Liu Bei held Jia Xu's hand: "I won't accept it if you take my salary and don't do things for me. I don't raise idle people here. Wen He, just be prepared to be used by me until you are eighty years old. Eight
I will never allow you to retire and return home before you are ten years old!"
Jia Xu smiled, very happily.
"If you ask, Naxu will work hard to live to the age of ninety! After the age of eighty, he will return to his hometown to retire for ten years."
Liu Bei felt that Jia Xu's wish could be realized. Although it was a bit difficult, Jia Xu looked like he would live a long life.
On the second day after Liu Xie ascended the throne, he issued an edict.
The prince Liu Bian was not loyal to the monarch or filial to his father. He made a major mistake in He's conspiracy and rebellion, and attempted to seize his father's throne. He should have been executed.
However, the new emperor thought of his brotherhood and the reason why his father's body was still cold, so he refused to execute him. Instead, he revoked his status as a prince, became a commoner, and was imprisoned for life.
When the edict came out, the courtiers discussed it a lot, but considering that this matter was one of the three things that caused the new official to take office, none of them dared to say anything for the fallen prince.
It's still the same, those who were willing to say something and do something have been killed in the coup, and the remaining ones will not take risks for this.
It is worth mentioning that this proposal proposed by Dong Zhong was opposed by the young emperor Liu Xie who was watching during the decision-making process.
"My father told me before he died that I should get along well with my brother, protect him from harm, and let him live well. Now that my father has just passed away, how can I break my promise to my father and issue such an edict?
