Even though Zheng Xuan was a scholarly official who didn't like politics, at this moment, his trembling heart told him that what Liu Bei said was completely correct.
Judging from the size of families like the Yuan family and the Xun family, unless they themselves are stupid, there is basically no possibility of completely overthrowing them and destroying them in one go.
For such a family, the family leader does not mean everything to the family. In a sense, the family leader serves the family.
If he fails, who knows what other family members will do?
In this era when the real Lu Fengxian has not yet appeared on the stage of history, the imperial power can be stripped from the emperor openly, but what power cannot be stripped from an individual?
Yuan Wei didn't have many brothers, but there were some, and there were also many people of the same generation in the entire family.
Xun Shuang even has seven brothers.
Without them, Xun Shuang and Yuan Wei will die personally, but the Yuan family and the Xun family are still there. As long as the family can be preserved, is the personal honor and even the lives of Yuan Wei and Xun Shuang really important?
Everyone laughs at Lu Fengxian, everyone is a little Fengxian.
Zheng Xuan was silent for a while, seemingly dissatisfied with Liu Bei's thoughts.
"Xuande, why do you think the situation is so dangerous?"
"Mr. Zheng, this is not sinister enough."
Zheng Xuan and Liu Bei looked at each other for a while before Zheng Xuan sighed helplessly.
"Xuande, sometimes I also wonder whether I should not have come to Luoyang from the beginning, and whether it would be better if I continued to write books and establish my reputation in my hometown."
"If Mr. Zheng had not come, there would be no ancient literature school today."
Liu Bei whispered: "The ancient literature school needs a leader, and Zheng Gong is the leader who can unite people's hearts and convince the people. At present, the school seems to be powerful, but in Bei's eyes, it is in danger. At this critical moment, Zheng Gong acts as Leader of the school, do you want to stand by and watch?"
Zheng Xuan raised his head and looked at the vast sky.
"Xuande, they are wrong. They should not let Ziqian leave Luoyang, but should let you leave Luoyang."
Liu Bei was shocked and didn't know what Zheng Xuan meant.
After Zheng Xuan finished speaking, he looked at Liu Bei expressionlessly, then suddenly smiled and winked at Liu Bei.
"Am I right?"
"………………"
Liu Bei took a deep breath, exhaled it slowly, and said slowly: "Mr. Zheng, Bei is still young and can't help being scared."
"Hahahahahaha."
Zheng Xuan laughed for a while, patted Liu Bei on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "That's why I find it doubly interesting. Xuande, you are still so young. Don't always think about these things secretly alone. You have thought about it too much and for a long time." , gradually, it became difficult to even look up and see the light.”
Liu Bei was silent for a while and did not reply.
Zheng Xuan didn't speak for a while. After a while, he slowly spoke.
"Whatever you want to do, just do it. You are right. I am the leader of the Ancient Literature School. I should indeed do some things that a leader should do."
"Did Mr. Zheng agree?"
"I agree it's no use, you doing well is what matters."
Zheng Xuan smiled and said: "It is true that the Ancient Literature School cannot live without Yuan Wei and Xun Shuang, but in my opinion, it cannot live without you Liu Xuande."
Liu Bei probably understood what Zheng Xuan meant, but Liu Bei was not sure whether Zheng Xuan could see what he wanted to do and what he ultimately wanted to achieve.
Logically speaking, he couldn't see it, because it was beyond the times. Zheng Xuan could not have such a vision beyond the times and be able to understand what he specifically wanted to do.
But Zheng Xuan's smile always made Liu Bei feel that he could see what was in his heart.
What a cute little old man.
With Zheng Xuan's approval and endorsement, Liu Bei decided not to waste time. He told Zheng Xuan that this newly established service organization would obey Zheng Xuan's orders. If Zheng Xuan needed to do anything, this organization would definitely do it for him.
Zheng Xuan did not comment on this, but just told Liu Bei to do it first and get the matter done before talking.
Liu Bei nodded and did what he said.
Taking advantage of the seven or eight days of free time before taking office, he called out the children of the Zhao, Li, Wang, Zheng, Yin, and Han clans who had not been assigned errands before, called them to a meeting, and arranged them. some tasks.
The goal this time is ostensibly to build a subordinate implementation organization belonging to the ancient literature school to accept and unite the vast number of scholars of the ancient literature school.
But in fact, Liu Bei's purpose is to control this executive agency in his own hands, establish a relatively strict organizational structure, and organize this scattered sand from scratch, making it appear to be the strength of the Ancient Literature School. In fact, But it is his own sharp blade and trumpet.
Of course they belong to the large group of the Ancient Literature School, but... they only do so on the premise of obeying my call.
No one can command this organization but me.
Since the first two crises of the ancient literature school, Liu Bei has had a very high prestige among the young scholars in his eyes and the outsiders in the eyes of the rest of the upper echelons of the ancient literature school.
The upper echelons of other ancient literature schools often have a mentality of taking advantage of these people. After using them, they find that they are difficult to fool or manipulate, so they decide to stay away from them and throw them away.
At that time, Liu Bei, the de facto "Minister of Propaganda", was the one who pacified these emotionally unstable young scholars. The upper-class bosses were not interested in this kind of hard work at all.
Coupled with the high-powered personalities that Liu Bei created in Luoyang City such as the Master of Classical Debate and the Great Poet of the Han Dynasty, Liu Bei was known to everyone among the young scholars.
In addition, Liu Bei likes to show off, and there are many people who have seen Liu Bei in person, dined with him at the same table, and talked face to face.
The children of the six clans, Zhao, Li, Wang, Zheng, Yin, and Han, were the first to have contact with him and the most frequent contacts. They had a personal relationship with him, so they were the first to become his team.
In addition to the children of these six families, there are not many people who admire Liu Bei and are willing to follow Liu Bei.
A "counterattack" can completely control their mentality.
So Liu Bei planned to start with this group of people who had direct contact with him and whom he had a relatively clear impression of, and bring them under his command.
As for the organization he was about to form and control, Liu Bei temporarily named it the Ministry of General Affairs, the Ministry of General Affairs of the Ancient Literature School.
For a period of time in the future, the organization's external claim will be this name, which means the department that helps the Ancient Literature School deal with matters that the common people do not want to be touched by the gentlemen.
That is, the department that does the dirty work.
Anyway, the upper echelons of the Ancient Literature School looked down upon these second-, third-, and even lower-rate scholars, and there were also things they were unwilling to do, so it would be better to use such a department to handle things.
Since you want to create an organization, it is natural to have a clear organizational hierarchy and clear division of responsibilities.
The two large-scale political alliances of the Ancient Literature School and the Modern Literature School do not have this concept. They only have a high-level consultation mechanism and no other mechanisms. Moreover, in the entire world, there is such a mechanism. It is estimated that only the Luoyang court and the Governments everywhere.
However, in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, this upper and lower mobilization mechanism was old and decayed, and there were big problems.
There are no people who should be there, and people who shouldn't be there are everywhere. People who are doing things are exhausted, and there are so many people who are just lying around and taking money without doing anything.
On the one hand, there are too many people and the efficiency of work is astonishing. This is the common problem of the central court and local officials of the Eastern Han Dynasty that Liu Bei observed.
When it's his turn, of course he will have his own ideas.
