Chapter 275: Only high-ranking officials are important
Zheng Tai and others naturally didn’t know that Dahan’s version update was coming.
Liu Bei has even done the pre-downloading work and is waiting for the final update time to arrive, complete the installation, and enter version 0 at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty - a new era.
They were still feeling uneasy because of the eerie silence in Luoyang City. Zheng Tai should have left long ago, but he repeatedly postponed his trip because of the eerie silence.
He couldn't accept this completely silent Luoyang City. Doesn't anyone care about Liu Bei becoming emperor? Doesn't anyone have doubts about this?
Why don't you get agitated?
Several big bosses, including Zheng Tai, sent people around to inquire about this matter. Finally, everyone gathered the intelligence and learned that this matter was not that no one cared about it, but that it was too sensitive and no one dared to discuss it casually for fear of touching it.
He touched Liu Bei's taboo and was attacked by him.
So everyone unanimously came to a conclusion - before Liu Bei reacted himself, everyone would never give any reaction and wait and see how the situation evolved. This was the safest way.
So Zheng Tai was quite speechless.
"Liu Bei's influence on the world has already been revealed. If he doesn't speak, no one dares to speak. If he doesn't make a decision, no one dares to give his own opinion. If he does this, I won't even think of him becoming emperor tomorrow.
I feel weird! What on earth are people doing?!"
Zheng Tai looked quite hysterical and angry at this time. Looking at his appearance, Jia Xi really felt that they seemed to have done a huge mistake, and this mistake would push them collectively into the abyss.
.
"The situation in Luoyang City is not right. We seem to have really underestimated Liu Bei's control of Luoyang City. I had heard before that Situ Liu Yu went to find Liu Bei, but there was no news after that. It was just that Liu Bei came in.
When I met the Empress Dowager, no one knew what she said."
Jia Xi whispered: "Liu Bei's power seems to be no longer what it was before. We seem to have really underestimated Liu Bei. I always feel that we should not stay in Luoyang City anymore. Tell me, should we leave early?"
Better?"
Zheng Tai thought about it, but still couldn't accept that his tactical nuclear bomb was ineffective.
"If even this matter cannot defeat Liu Bei, then there is no one in the world who can compete with him. He can depose the emperor today and become emperor himself tomorrow. At that time, he will use the supreme power of the emperor to
If we are eradicated, we will no longer need a reason... Does it make sense to go somewhere?"
Jia Xi became increasingly uneasy and embarrassed, so he could only continue to send people everywhere to inquire about information, hoping to get some useful information.
But he didn't find out anything.
At the same time, Liu Bei had already handed over what he planned to do through secret letters to the core members of the group and the core generals in the army through secret channels, so that they could be mentally prepared.
Once Liu Bei succeeds in taking power, there will be many people who will support him, and many people will acquiesce, but there will also be people who will raise objections and start resistance, and what they have to do is to wipe out all the rebels who mainly exist in Luoyang City.
Outside Luoyang City, Liu Bei wrote to Xu Huang, Qian Zhao, Liu Sheng, Guan Yu and others to make preparations.
The only place that will not have any opponents is probably the Liangzhou area. People here are eager for Liu Bei to become emperor as soon as possible, unlike people in several other areas.
Especially Xu Huang. After the news spread, Xu Huang should face the biggest problem and the most people who resist. However, Xu Huang commands two main armies, and the strength of these two main armies should be able to do it.
A lot of things.
At worst, Liu Bei plans to send out the two cavalrymen, Xiahou Yuan and Pang De, as mobile support troops. The flat plains of the Central Plains cannot stop the cavalry from moving freely.
As a result, the resistance of the Central Plains is destined to be short-lived and will inevitably die in an ugly way.
Thanks to the previous series of preparations, although many things have not yet been completed, such as the county and national soldier plan, the government affairs conference and the implementation of the official elimination system, these are not important anymore.
When he ascends to the throne of God, these are all matters of course. No one will have the qualifications to bargain with him. Anyone who wants to bargain is looking for death.
What a general cannot do, an emperor with a strong military background can do. Previously, the most important righteousness and unlimited power were what Liu Bei was wary of, but when he himself became a man in the world, this power would be
An important basis for his work.
As long as he is still doing things and still wants to do things, then everything is meaningful.
As for the negative effects...
Let’s talk about it later.
Zheng Tai was targeted, Jia Xi was also targeted, and everyone who should be targeted was targeted.
Cao Cao was notified, Yan Wen was notified, Zhen Yan was notified, Han Rong was notified, and Lu Zhi was also notified.
Even Zheng Xuan was notified.
Of course, Zheng Xuan didn't find it strange at all.
From the day the rumors started to spread, Zheng Xuan knew that this day would come sooner or later, it just took time.
Of course, it's still relatively early.
Zheng Xuan did not expect Liu Bei to be so decisive. He quickly ended his entanglements, completed his inner self-construction, opened up the inward cycle of morality, and took decisive and quick action.
Moreover, he had actually persuaded the Empress Dowager to endorse him, and also persuaded Liu Yu to support him.
The Empress Dowager deposed the emperor and appointed Liu Bei as the new emperor on the grounds that the emperor was too young to bear the heavy responsibilities of the world. She transferred the Han royal family from Liu Hong's branch to Liu Bei's branch, using the Liu family of Zhuo County as the successor.
The latest Han royal family orthodoxy.
This is not easy to say, but it doesn't seem to be too difficult if it falls into Liu Bei's hands.
In the end, it was the changes within the Han clan that transferred the imperial power from one branch to another. The Han Dynasty was still the Han Dynasty, and the emperor was still a descendant of Gaozu, or in other words, the descendants of Emperor Jing, still surnamed Liu, or the same group of people.
But from this perspective, in a sense, so many changes over the years are like the resurgence of a dynasty.
The Guangwu Zhongxing may be a bit more tragic, but if we really look into it carefully, from the sixth year of Guanghe to the present, in the past ten years or so, there seems to be no shortage of chaos and war, and the number of people who died does not seem to be very small.
It's not necessarily true that more people in the upper echelons of society die.
That is to say, because of Liu Bei's appearance, a regime that was about to fall apart was put back together. But if we really talk about it, there were quite a lot of wars, chaos and conflicts.
At the time of Emperor Guangwu, the world fell apart in an upright manner, and then he reintegrated it and restored it to its old state.
But now, it's not that the world has fallen apart, it's more like Liu Bei pulled him back from the edge of falling apart. Then Liu Bei used his unimaginable power to do some things to the Han Empire within the scope of his control that he did during the Guangwu Emperor's time.
Things that people need to be in chaos to do.
To be honest, after so many years of observation, Zheng Xuan even felt that Liu Bei was stronger than Emperor Guangwu, or that his situation was better.
Emperor Guangwu proclaimed himself emperor early, and he proclaimed himself emperor three years after he raised his army. Zheng'er Bajing unified the world and established the dignity of the emperor, but it was even later. During this period, he also experienced many staged wars and betrayals.
Liu Bei started from a humble beginning and relied on his own ability to reach the top step by step. On the premise that the world did not fall apart, he used his super military ability to give the big man a breath, and then performed various unexpected operations.
There were so many people who died, not a damn one survived, so many carnivores died in his hands, and he cleaned them up like pigs and sheep, but all of this was under the premise of a unified state, not
Chaotic chaos.
Everything he did was methodical, methodical, and orderly. He used his super military power to maintain an order that seemed fragile but was actually quite powerful, and he used this order to complete the de facto change of dynasty.
Rather than saying that Liu Bei was forced to become emperor, it is better to say that the time has come and the time is ripe for a change of dynasty.
The Second Han Empire founded by Liu Xiu has actually died, and the Third Han Empire founded by Liu Bei himself is about to be born.
Then Zheng Xuan understood.
The old Liu family really produced talents from generation to generation. Every time they were on the verge of collapse, a strong man from the sky appeared.
Liu Bei's abilities were still superior to Liu Xiu's, and his control of the situation was even better. Being able to live in the same era as him and see everything he did with his own eyes, Zheng Xuan decided that he was really lucky.
Of course, the luckiest thing is that he is not his enemy.
But then again, the old Liu family's story of strong men descending from heaven from generation to generation is really a bit extraordinary and strange.
Liu Bei himself kept saying that he should respect ghosts and gods and stay away from them, but Zheng Xuan felt that the old Liu family might have some special power to help. Otherwise, why would such a rare and rare man from the sky appear at every critical moment?
When a dynasty was about to collapse, a clan member appeared, turned the tide, forcibly helped the dynasty that was about to collapse, and continued to rule. This kind of thing has happened once.
If it was a coincidence once, then if it happens again now, is it still a coincidence?
If the same thing happens again in the future, is it still a coincidence?
Could it be that the old Liu family really has a destiny?
Are Liu Bang's genes really that strong?
For a time, Zheng Xuan, a person who didn't like talking about ghosts and gods, began to feel shaken.
Of course, it’s not just Zheng Xuan, but also Lu Zhi who feels similar to Zheng Xuan.
Although he said that he had complicated emotions and couldn't think about his disciple becoming emperor for a while, when he returned home and thought about it carefully, Lu Zhi really had no objection at all.
First of all, the disciple is a clan member of the Han Dynasty, a descendant of the great ancestor of the Eight Classics. If he really wants to be the emperor, he is not completely unqualified and unreasonable. Anyway, the family of the current emperor is also a side branch, belonging to a small sect and a large sect. If the relationship is closer, he cannot
Change the fact that small sects become large sects.
And this was not the first time that something like this happened in the Han Empire.
After all, the emperor's surname is still Liu, and the Han Dynasty is still a Han Dynasty, so what's wrong with it?
And if you really want to talk about it, this big man is in the current situation all because of Liu Bei. Without Liu Bei, Lu Zhi felt that the Han Dynasty would have collapsed. It was Liu Bei who suddenly came out, wiped out the ambitious people in the world, and saved the situation.
.
The Han Dynasty seven or eight years ago was really a scene of the end of the world. There were rebellions everywhere in the world. Even the rebellion in Bingzhou defeated the imperial army. At one time, they came to the Yellow River and shocked the world. At that time, they abandoned Luoyang and fled south.
There are not a few people.
However, with Liu Bei's fists and kicks, this apocalyptic scene inexplicably took on the appearance of a prosperous age.
From the perspective of Lu Zhi, who was deeply involved in the historical process of these seven or eight years, the main opportunity for the transformation of the world really started when Liu Hong died and Liu Bei came to power.
Since Liu Bei came to power, the Han Dynasty has begun to make positive changes instead of continuing to slide into the abyss.
A weak giant took a deep breath and crawled out of the abyss. He took a breath and began to recuperate, and actually began to recover.
This is not the first time that this giant has fallen into the abyss and climbed out again, this is the second time.
The person who did this last time was Liu Xiu, and the person who did it this time is Liu Bei. They are both descendants of the old Liu family and descendants of Liu Bang.
this……
Isn’t it really God’s will?
Under the leadership of Liu Bei, the Luoyang court adopted the political principle of respecting ghosts and gods and keeping away from them. Everyone followed this principle tacitly and did not pursue the mysterious logic behind things. But when things came to an end, Lu Zhi discovered that this matter was really a bit mysterious.
The smell of nagging.
Could it be that his disciple was really a mysterious being sent down from heaven to revive the Han Dynasty?
His life of more than thirty years has been too legendary. He started from a humble beginning and had nothing but the royal bloodline, but he has been upgraded and defeated monsters all the way to a glorious rise, until now he has the power over the world. Isn't this... really the power of ghosts and gods helping him?
Otherwise, how could he achieve a take-all ending with a bad hand of cards?
Along the way, he made almost every choice right. Every time it was a major decision-making moment, he always managed to get through it and became stronger than before.
Luck, this existence has been talked about by everyone for a long time.
Liu, those who are lucky will have an unlimited future!
He heard this from many people, and he began to believe it. To this day, he felt that none of them seemed to have made a mistake.
He really has a bright future!
After figuring this out, Lu Zhi completed his logical closed loop.
Then he gave up the struggle.
I, surnamed Lu, don’t care about the affairs of the old Liu family.
Your old Liu family is awesome, you old Liu family is powerful, your old Liu family has produced outstanding people from generation to generation, ghosts and gods have helped each other, and the Han Dynasty has flourished three times. It is an invincible existence in the world. I will be a Han minister. As for who is the "Han"...
I do not care.
Zheng Xuan and Lu Zhi had already given up, and when the core figures in Liu Bei's military and political circles learned the news, they were so ecstatic that their feelings cannot be accurately described.
Their mood was a complex emotion of ecstasy with a hint of excitement, and excitement with a hint of worry and timidity. Ecstasy accounted for about 90%, and the rest were complex emotions.
But generally speaking, they yearn for it, and they yearn for it extremely.
Because currently, although Liu Bei is the most powerful person in the world, in order to maintain this ruling position, he has to share power with the other two factions.
The eunuch group and the ancient literature school, these two factions include his collaborators and followers, as well as relatively independent forces and opponents.
The combined power of the latter two is greater than that of the former, so these two factions have not actually become followers of Liu Bei. Instead, they have maintained their own relatively independent political bases and acted as collaborators at the political level and
Liu Bei shared the benefits.
In fact, it also squeezed out the political space of Liu Bei's own power. High-level positions such as the Three Gongs and Nine Ministers always had to share some profits with them, and his own people could not occupy them all, so they were let go on a large scale.
If Liu Bei becomes emperor, then the distribution of all political power will be at Liu Bei's discretion. Liu Bei can decide everything, and there is no need to consider the wishes of the Ancient Literature School and the eunuch group.
Even Liu Bei planned to completely annex these two factions and kill all the opponents.
In this way, who will fill the power gap left vacant after the clarification?
There is no doubt that our own people will fill it.
What they have longed for will truly come. They will truly follow Liu Bei and become the dominant group in the world, and those guys they dislike will soon be eradicated by them.
It was mid-May of the fifth year of Jian'an, and Liu Bei held a core internal meeting in the name of a regular meeting at the General's Mansion in Luoyang City.
