Yuan Shao thought about it, but he couldn't imagine what he had in his hand that could win Liu Bei's heart.
It seems that Liu Bei no longer needs what he can take out, and what Liu Bei needs, he can't take out.
He doesn't have the qualifications. The qualifications lie with Yuan Ji, or simply in the hands of Yuan Wei.
Once Liu Bei's identity is confirmed, he will be equal to Yuan Wei, and even surpass Yuan Ji. Yuan Ji cannot communicate with Liu Bei on an equal footing, but must treat each other with courtesy, let alone Yuan Shao.
At that time, why would Yuan Shao need to take action?
We can only take advantage of now, we can only take advantage of now.
But right now, Yuan Shao couldn't come up with anything.
Why, now?
Yuan Shao's heart was extremely tangled and irritable.
The only thing that made him feel a little better was that the foundation laid by the friendly relationship with Liu Bei was still there. He was still the person closest to Liu Bei in the entire Yuan family. If the Yuan family wanted to contact Liu Bei, the best thing to do was to The way is Him.
At the same time, he also felt that Liu Bei still regarded him as a close person, otherwise how could he say such a thing?
So he put away his original emotions and calmed down.
"Xuande should not worry too much about this. If others find out, he will definitely look down on Xuande. A man is born between heaven and earth, and he should stand upright. What does it mean to be frustrated for a while? After lying dormant for several years, he can still stir up troubles by taking advantage of the trend. !”
Yuan Shao's words and actions show his incomparable confidence, which comes from his family background, his past experiences, and the laws of this era.
But Liu Bei did not have these in the past.
Yuan Shao came from a wealthy family, and the Yuan family in Runan, a super-class noble family that formed a closed loop of academic and political affairs, had the ability to provide basic protection for their children.
The children of the Yuan family can fail politically, offend others, do wrong things, and say wrong things. As long as they do not make principled mistakes, and as long as they do not offend those in high positions to death, they always have room for it.
He absolutely does not have to worry about his political career being cut off. The Yuan family will definitely support him and ensure that he has no worries.
Because of the family's transcendent status, the Yuan family's children have such confidence.
Just imagine that someone from a family like Cao Cao could kill a powerful eunuch's uncle and only be driven out of the capital. Liu Bei could almost imagine how low the cost of trial and error for the brothers Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu was.
This is what disciples and former officials all over the world brought to Yuan Shao.
And according to normal circumstances, Liu Bei can also have these, but he has to wait.
What an advantageous background.
Looking at Yuan Shao who was standing and talking without pain in his back, Liu Bei showed an envious expression.
"The fourth generation and the third Duke of Yuan Gong's family, disciples and former officials are all over the world. With a wave of arms, the world responds. The victory of our battle is absolutely indispensable to the contributions of the Yuan family and the Xun family. I heard from the teacher that Zheng Gong plans to go there in the near future. Officially visit the Yuan family and the Xun family."
Liu Bei revealed the news to Yuan Shao.
Yuan Shao suddenly became concerned.
This time, Yuan and Xun had their finger on the pulse of history. They jumped back decisively and stabbed the Modern Literature School in the back. They helped the Ancient Literature School overthrow the strong pressure of the Modern Literature School in one fell swoop and promoted Zuo's Spring and Autumn Annals to become an official school and establish The doctor made a great contribution.
It can be said that if it were not for the backstabbing of these two top wealthy families, and the political resources controlled by the top noble families such as the Hongnong Yang family, the Runan Yuan family, and the Yingchuan Xun family, were put on the Ancient Literature School, the pressure on the Ancient Literature School would still be very huge.
At least those old antiques will never go out together to start a decisive battle on the top of the Forbidden City between Taixue and Zheng Xuan.
It was because of the backstabbing of Yuan and Xun that they realized that if they did not launch a decisive battle with Zheng Xuan and allowed the situation to develop, the Jinwen School would definitely fall apart.
That's why they rashly launched a decisive battle when they were unprepared. The result was a complete failure and they left the field in despair. They almost lost their pants after losing.
After the victory of the Ancient Literature School, they did not forget Yuan and Xun.
They had held a meeting before and planned to express their gratitude to Yuan and Xun this time, accept Yuan and Xun into the new leadership of the Ancient Literature School, and together suppress the remnants of the Modern Literature School and divide up what they lost after their death. "Knife Joy".
“I don’t know what the outcome of this meeting will be.”
Yuan Shao said with some thought: "What do Xuande think Yuan and Xun can gain?"
"From what the teacher said, he should be in the position of minister, or he should be recommended by the school with all his strength, recommending Duke Yuan to take the position of three ministers to record the affairs of the minister and officially take charge of the government."
Liu Bei smiled and said: "In any case, both Yuan and Xun made great contributions to our victory. We must unite sincerely, overcome the difficulties together, and work together to find ways to completely defeat the Jinwen School."
Promote Yuan Wei to record the affairs of the minister?
The Ancient Literature School actually plans to do this?
Yuan Shao's mind suddenly came to life.
Yuan Wei currently holds the position of Situ, but without being a minister, Situ is just a showman, waiting to be deposed by the emperor with the vision of heaven and earth.
However, once you are appointed as a minister, your position will be like that of prime minister and assistant, which cannot be shaken by ordinary people. You will have real power, be able to govern the country, display your ambitions, and will not be easily influenced by the influence of eunuchs and relatives.
The Yuan family will also be able to truly and legitimately utilize the huge political resources of the family of the Four Generations and Three Dukes.
Maybe he could unify the government in one fell swoop and take the central authority of the Eastern Han Empire into his hands.
During the Party-controlled turmoil in the Eastern Han Dynasty, the reason why eunuchs had strong real power and made it difficult for the scholars to resist was because during this period, the three ministers did not record the affairs of the ministers, and their relatives were destitute, and the ministers were eunuchs.
The eunuchs took advantage of the power of the Shangshutai in administration, justice, supervision, and public security to ravage the scholars in many aspects, making the scholars miserable.
The Shangshutai was the administrative center of the Eastern Han Dynasty. It was the place where national affairs were actually handled. Therefore, there were many people and many institutions. It was mainly divided into six cao, which was quite similar to the six bu in later generations.
The six Cao Cao of the Eastern Han Dynasty were respectively the Three Gong Cao, the Two Thousand Stone Cao, the South and North Guest Cao, the Min Cao, the Libu Cao, and the Zhongdu Guan Cao, who were responsible for different national affairs.
For example, San Gong Cao was originally responsible for supervising the Three Gongs. However, due to the decline of the power of the Three Gongs, he was changed to be responsible for examining state and county affairs at the end of the year to judge whether state and county officials were fulfilling their duties.
Erqian Shicao was originally responsible for managing the affairs of prefecture and county magistrates, but was later changed to be responsible for matters related to resignation.
Cao, the official of the central capital, was responsible for water, fire, robberies, and public security issues in the capital.
The responsibilities of the host and guest Cao from the north and the south are similar. They are all responsible for matters such as government orders, reception of court appointments, and legal protection in ethnic minority countries. The things they do mainly involve diplomacy.
In the Western Han Dynasty, Min Cao was responsible for petitions from officials and people. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, he was responsible for the civil engineering of the capital.
The Ministry of Personnel Cao was still called this name before Liu Hong, but it was renamed the Election Department by Liu Hong a few years ago. This name was also accepted, and it was mainly responsible for the election of officials.
The Shangshutai is extremely powerful. It issues edicts, government decrees, and elects courtiers. The three ministers and some central officials are qualified to nominate candidates, but the candidates generally need to be reviewed by the Shangshutai, and the Shangshutai can also participate.
In addition, the Shangshutai also has the power to inspect, impeach, and prosecute hundreds of officials. It can participate in the planning and decision-making of major national political affairs, and has a significant impact on government affairs.
However, although the power of the Shangshutai is heavy, the position of the Taigong official is humble. The chief minister's order can only be worth a thousand stones, and he is still under the Jiuqing. Such a humble position and power can make it easier for the emperor to appoint capable people to serve, which is easy to control and efficient.
For example, Lu Zhi was assigned by Liu Hong to work in Shangshutai because he was capable of doing things, and became his firefighter.
It can be said that whoever can control such an institution can control the center of the Eastern Han Empire and become the de facto prime minister.
After the Emperor Hedi in the Eastern Han Dynasty, there were many young kings and weak rulers, and the real power was often controlled by relatives and eunuchs. Therefore, although the three princes were restricted by the Shangshutai, the Shangshutai was often controlled by relatives and eunuchs with greater real power.
However, the Three Dukes could sometimes be appointed by the emperor to record ministerial affairs, using the power of scholars to check the power of eunuchs and relatives, so as to achieve a balanced state.
By controlling this institution, the power of scholars, relatives and eunuchs waxed and waned, and they continued to dominate the center of the country in different periods of time. The demons danced wildly, leading the Eastern Han Dynasty towards the unstoppable abyss. And go.
Therefore, once the Yuan family takes control of this organization, the huge reputation of the Four Generations and Three Dukes and the political structure of disciples and former officials all over the world will inevitably push the family's power to a new peak.
At that time, they are athletes, referees, and game rule makers, with the final right of interpretation. It is a trinity. What a wonderful situation!
In this special period when the party's restrictive policy against the Jinwen School has not yet been abolished, once the Yuan family takes control of the Shangshutai, the officials of the Jinwen School will be waiting to face the storm of impeachment!
Yuan Shao couldn't help but start to think about the situation where the Yuan family dominated the world.
