In the entire state school, there are many students with better grades than Ma Chao. For example, Fazheng and Mengda, a pair of good friends, are typical academic masters.
In addition to them, there are also many talented academics, many of whom Liu Bei has never heard of.
It can only be said that the past history did not give them a platform to perform, and they completely disappeared in the long river of history.
But this time, Liu Bei will give them a sufficient stage to display their talents, and they can display their talents to their heart's content, as long as they are really talented.
Zhouxue is Liu Bei's future talent pool and the cornerstone for him to take over the Luoyang court and control power across the world. He has deep expectations for this large group of "Liu family disciples".
It is not required that all of them be saints, as long as they can complete their historical mission in a specific historical period and kill those insects and replace them, that is enough.
Liu Bei's eyes are turned to the future.
But Liu Hong's vision can only stay in the present.
After receiving Liu Bei's reply, Liu Hong felt a little regretful.
Liu Hong did not expect that Liu Bei would directly talk to him about abolishing the elders and establishing young ones, and also talked about a lot of disadvantages of abolishing the elders and establishing young ones.
Of course Liu Hong knew this, so Liu Hong had no intention of abolishing the elders and establishing younger ones.
He just wanted to attack He Jin's power and restrain his relative's power, so as to prevent his relative's power from becoming too strong and causing Liu Bian to be controlled by his relative after he ascended the throne.
Doing this can not only deal with He Jin, but also punish and take revenge on Queen He.
I can't change your son's ascension to the throne, but I will never let you, the Queen Mother, live a good life. I will definitely let you be punished and make you die in pain.
Moreover, I can't let you hurt my other son.
The attack on the He family was also to protect Liu Xie from being harmed by the He family in a sense, otherwise Liu Hong was really worried that he would be gone and Liu Xie would end up like Liu Ruyi.
Liu Hong was certain that Liu Bian and Liu Hui were equally unable to protect their younger brother. After his death, if the He family wanted to retaliate against Liu Xie and kill off all of Wang Meiren's bloodline, he would have no choice but to do so.
So even to protect Liu Xie, he had to attack the power of He's relatives.
However, this kind of behavior made the most trustworthy people around him start to worry about the possibility of abolishing the elders and establishing younger ones, which made Liu Hong feel that it was a bit wrong.
Previously, Qingzhou Mu and clan elder Liu Yu publicly petitioned the court, asking Liu Hong to learn from the lessons of his predecessors and not to abolish the elders and establish the younger ones.
Later, many officials in the imperial court wrote to Liu Hong, telling him the disadvantages of abolishing elders and establishing young ones, hoping that Liu Hong would think twice before acting.
This is almost like the ministers taking political sides, hoping that Liu Hong can take the overall situation into consideration and not cause trouble to prevent the situation from getting out of control.
Seeing that a considerable number of local, central and eunuch forces were on He Jin's side, Liu Hong couldn't help but feel a little frightened.
At this moment, the quickest way to solve the problem is to declare Liu Bian as the crown prince.
But things have advanced to this point. If he gives in and announces to the outside world that Liu Bian will be the crown prince, wouldn't it mean that he, the emperor, has been defeated?
Then what authority will he have and what dignity will he have as emperor?
no.
If I don’t give it to you, you can’t rob it.
I can let Liu Bian be the crown prince and inherit my position, but that must be my own initiative, and you will never be allowed to force me!
Liu Hong realized that he could no longer compete with He Jin's power with the Xiyuan Army alone.
At this time, Liu Hong needed Liu Bei. He needed his die-hard loyalist, the most capable general of the Han Dynasty, to come back with his troops to intimidate Xiao Xiao and increase his gaming chips.
Therefore, Liu Hong felt that he could only explain his purpose to Liu Bei a little, so that Liu Bei should not think too much and come back with confidence.
It should be said that Liu Hong still cared about Liu Bei. He really explained his action goals and did not deceive Liu Bei.
So when Liu Bei was preparing to go to Luoyang, he learned that the purpose of Liu Hong's elaborate actions, including recruiting troops, which turned Luoyang upside down, was to attack the power of his relatives.
He didn't want his relatives to lose their power, and he didn't want his future heir to become a puppet of the He family and experience what he had experienced.
He also spoke very frankly, saying that when he became emperor, he was selected by a former general. When he first came to the throne, he was ignorant and experienced a relatively painful period, so he did not want his son to experience such a thing.
Painfully, he must limit the power of the He family and leave a relatively relaxed environment for his heirs.
At that time, Liu Bei felt that Liu Hong might have some serious illness.
In order to attack He Jin, you started such a big thing? All kinds of conscription to form an army?
Even if you send someone to assassinate him, or simply send eunuchs to kill He Jin publicly like how you killed Dou Wu before, is it better than blatantly recruiting an army like this?
The real high-level political struggle is to flip the table immediately if there is a disagreement.
When you killed Dou Wu, who was helping you make suggestions?
Have you really learned nothing?
If Liu Hong really had the same tactics as he used to deal with Dou Wu and Chen Fan in this matter, Liu Bei felt that the troubled times at the end of the Han Dynasty might not be possible, but that matter was obviously not handled by Liu Hong personally, so this kind of
The possibility is estimated to be low.
Liu Bei couldn't accept this explanation for a while, but after thinking about it, he felt that with Liu Hong's acting style, it was really possible that he could do such a thing.
Absurd, frivolous, there is nothing he can't do, these are his biggest labels.
Okay, this is very Liu Hong.
Liu Bei was speechless.
But thinking of this, Liu Bei thought of an interesting point - since Liu Hong did not intend to abolish the eldest son and establish a younger one, that means he planned to let Liu Bian inherit the throne, which means... Liu Xie and Liu Bian competed for the throne
Was it Jian Shuo who promoted the incident?
Was it Jian Shuo who wanted Liu Xie to be the emperor, not Liu Hong who wanted Liu Xie to be the emperor?
Liu Bei thought for a while and suddenly understood the connection here.
By doing this, Liu Hong learned from previous lessons, suppressed the power of the He family, protected Liu Bian's imperial power, and at the same time protected Liu Xie's life safety.
Jian Shuo did what he did after Liu Hong's death to protect himself.
Because the suppression of the He family failed and the He family was stronger, Jian Shuo knew that once Liu Bian came to the throne, he would definitely die, and he would not be able to save Liu Xie, so he wanted to push Liu Xie to the throne.
But Liu Hong couldn't succeed, and Jian Shuo couldn't succeed either. He was betrayed by the people around him, and then died, leaving nothing behind.
However, after such a commotion, the influence of his mother's family that could protect Liu Bian was also eliminated, and the Yuan family became the victor for a period of time, which indirectly saved Liu Xie.
That chaos indirectly fulfilled part of Liu Hong's wish in an incredible way, although the rest was contrary to his vision.
After thinking about these things, Liu Bei no longer worried about many matters about returning to Luoyang, but based on this, he began to think about how he should operate to become the final winner.
For this reason, he called Jia Xu again, told Jia Xu the latest information, and asked Jia Xu to help him provide advice.
After Jia Xu learned that Liu Hong had no intention of abolishing the elders and establishing younger ones, he no longer stopped Liu Bei from going to Luoyang. However, Jia Xu did not dare to make a clear guarantee on how to gain the greatest advantage from the current situation.
"If you go to Luoyang at this time, you should have the opportunity to gain higher power, but at the same time, you will also be at the forefront of fighting against the He family and the Yuan family, so you need to first clear up the relationship between abolishing the elder and establishing the young.
Relationship.
After clearing this matter, you need to rely on your relationship in Luoyang City to stabilize yourself first, and then find an opportunity to persuade the emperor. First, confirm the prince's position as the prince. As long as the prince's position as the prince is confirmed.
, you and the Emperor's side will have the upper hand, and the He family's power will begin to collapse."
After Liu Bei heard this, he felt that what Jia Xu said was reasonable.
But the truth is this, whether Liu Hong will follow it is another matter.
Basically, Liu Bei can be sure that Liu Hong will not do this.
