Lu Zhi didn't seem to understand the reason, and looked at Liu Bei with a somewhat strange look.
After a while, Lu Zhi regained his composure.
Then he put his hand on his forehead and laughed to himself.
"Xuande, in front of you, I really don't look like a teacher anymore, right?"
"You will always be your disciple's mentor, and this will never change no matter what."
"But I feel like I have changed. When did it happen?"
Lu Zhi looked up at the sky: "I was not like this before. I would rather give up my official position than do anything that goes against justice. But when did it start to change?"
"Teacher, since "Zuo Shi Chun Qiu" resumed its status as an official school, we have no way out, right?"
Liu Bei smiled and said: "Everything is different from before. Whether it is the Lu family in Zhuo County or the Liu family in Zhuo County, they have been tied to "Zuo's Spring and Autumn Annals". The disciples thought, We have gained a lot from this, and we are destined to lose a lot.
The ancient literature school has not yet overwhelmed the modern literature school. Among the fourteen schools, only Zuo Shi Chun Qiu is in the hands of our ancient literature school, and the remaining thirteen are still in the hands of the modern literature school. They have the luxury, but we do not. At this moment, the Ancient Literature School needs more friends, not enemies. "
What a high-sounding and meaningful reason!
Lu Zhi couldn't say a word.
He knew very well that at this time, it was meaningless to impeach the emperor Zhang Rang. It was not certain whether the emperor could see this memorial. There was a high probability that Zhang Rang would suppress this memorial and successfully anger him. Zhang Rang was revenged by him.
This does not do anything good for the overall situation of the Ancient Literature School.
In the middle of the court, the Modern Literature School was grabbing Lu Zhi and attacking the Ancient Literature School. At this time, angering Zhang Rang and asking Zhang Rang to take action against the Ancient Literature School would only make the already bad situation worse.
The ancient literature school's power in high-level politics is still insufficient compared to the modern literature school.
Zheng Xuan is a scholar-type official with insufficient political struggle ability.
Ma Rixi, Xun Shuang, Fu Qian and others did have a certain ability in political struggle, but their status was not high enough and they were ambitious but insufficient.
Now the only person who can take the leading role is Yuan Wei, who is also the Sangong and records the affairs of the Shangshu.
It is already not easy to fight against Yang Ci. If Yang Ci and Zhang Rang join forces, can Yuan Wei handle it? Can you keep the power of recording ministerial affairs? Can the official scholarly status of Zuo Shi Chun Qiu continue to be stable?
These are questions that Lu Zhi cannot answer.
In this case, what reason does he have to impeach Zhang Rang for this?
meaningless.
It would be better to cover up such a thing for him, and then find a way to convey goodwill to Zhang Rang, sell him face, and exchange favors. It will always come in handy.
This kind of thing is quite despicable. In the past, Lu Zhi would never accept it. He would scold Liu Bei who made the suggestion and expel him from the school.
But today, Lu Zhi was horrified to find that he did not resist this proposal deep down in his heart. Instead, it was his previous actions that made him feel very uncomfortable.
Have I really turned into the most annoying person I've ever been?
Lu Zhi looked into his heart and discovered this fact very sadly.
The Lu family of Zhuo County and Zhuo County and the inheritance of "Zuo Family's Spring and Autumn Annals" have changed him forever. He is already the leader of a Yue family. He is no longer the same person as before. He has become the Lu family of Zhuo County and Zhuo County. And the slaves inherited from "Zuo's Spring and Autumn Annals".
He has to consider the interests of his family and the school at all times, and the little considerations that belong to him are simply insignificant.
For a moment, he couldn't accept this fact, and he didn't want to face himself like this.
But he clearly remembered it very clearly.
In order to deal with Yang Ci before, he had to deny Yang Ci's proposal against his will, and had to put forward his own suggestion against his will.
Even though his suggestion would consume more manpower and material resources and cause more people to die, he still made it.
He has become like that!
Before making this decision, he was already like this!
After the first time, there is a second time, then a third time, and a fourth time.
Can't stop anymore.
So Lu Zhi was shocked to find that he had become like this and no longer had the position to stick to his previous decision.
After a long silence, Lu Zhi spoke.
"Xuande, I'll leave this matter to you. It's up to you what to do. You don't have to ask me..."
"only."
Liu Bei nodded, then turned and left.
He did what Zhang Rang asked him to do. He successfully persuaded Lu Zhi in an almost cruel way.
Well, it might be quite cruel, and the person who benefited the most was not the Ancient Literature School, but Liu himself.
Would Zhang Rang thank the Ancient Literature School and Lu Zhi?
No, he will only remember that Liu Bei did this, and he will only thank Liu Bei. This favor belongs to Liu Bei.
What belongs to Lu Zhi is a fact that he is unwilling to admit.
The one who belongs to the ancient literature school is Lu Zhi, who is no longer sharp.
And what belongs to him, Liu...
It was a favor from a great eunuch.
That’s good, everyone has a bright future.
Liu Bei wrote a letter to tell Zhang Rang about the incident, and then wrote a little about Anping King Liu Xu's affairs, and the meaning was very clear.
This guy had offended him. He didn't want this guy to continue to dominate the local area. It was best to find an excuse to kill him. If he couldn't be killed, he would be unable to survive or die.
After writing the letter, Liu Bei packed the letter and gave it to a reliable subordinate, and asked him to send it all the way back to Luoyang and hand it over to Liu Hui who stayed behind, and Liu Hui met Zhang Rang.
He believed that people like Zhang Rang were very good at giving eye drops to people. Liu Xu had lost the face of the descendants of the Han family, and anyone who wanted to deal with him had very good reasons.
Doesn’t he think that he is the reigning sect king and is very awesome?
Then we might as well become the pheasant clan.
The impact of this incident is not small, but the scale is not large. However, Liu Bei and Lu Zhi know that many people are not at the highest level and are not qualified to be affected by this incident.
What really affects everyone is war.
There was a little twist and turn on Dong Zhuo's side.
In the war against Gao Zheng, the left divine envoy of Taiping Dao, he lost for a while, then turned around and won, and finally won a complete victory.
The reason why he lost for a while was because he was too careless and underestimated the enemy. Seeing Liu Bei's easy winning streak, he felt that he could do it too, but it turned out that Gao Zheng had a little skill, which made him careless. A little loss.
Gao Zheng had a little skill, and it was just a little skill. Using this little skill to anger Dong Zhuo and the battle-hardened beasts under his command was not a wise choice.
Dong Zhuo became angry and pressed forward with all his strength. The high government department soon fell apart and collapsed.
Then Dong Zhuo massacred the city of Gaoyi to vent his anger.
Lu Zhi heard the news and was dissatisfied, but didn't say anything.
Whether the city is massacred or not depends on the general's thoughts, and Lu Zhi is beyond the reach of his whip.
And sometimes, if the soldiers are tortured unbearably by a city, and they must massacre the city after breaking it, the general has no choice but to sit back and watch the massacre. At most, after the soldiers' animal desires have been vented, he will punish a few leaders. Others were fined with three drinks and ignored it.
It's useless to blame anyone. Who made this city a "rebel" city?
Liu Bei also found that he had underestimated the bestiality of soldiers in this era, thinking that enough rewards could successfully restrain them. Now it seems that in this environment, money is not everything.
The accumulation of emotions cannot be alleviated simply by relying on money.
