After the "generous speech", Tian Feng saluted Yuan Shao and expressed his will.
He was determined not to cooperate with the Luoyang court, which in his eyes represented the interests of the eunuchs.
Liu Hong died and the new emperor came to power. The world's resentment towards the eunuchs could no longer be contained. However, Liu Bei, as a famous figure in the country and a hero in the world, did not take this opportunity to eradicate the eunuchs. Instead, he wanted to rule together with the eunuchs.
Isn't this an ending that will disappoint everyone in the world?
Tian Feng was greatly disappointed with Liu Bei and also with the Luoyang court.
Yuan Shao really didn't expect that the reason Tian Feng said these words was because Liu Bei did not eradicate the eunuchs.
So he was extremely angry and dissatisfied with Liu Bei and the Luoyang court, so he decided to support himself...
this……
yes!
Why didn't he think of this point to attack Liu Bei?
Before, I was just blindly arguing about the issues of treason and loyalty, and I didn't even consider that there was another breaking point in this matter - the eunuch!
People in the world have been suffering from eunuchs for a long time, and there are very loud voices that are dissatisfied with the continued existence of eunuchs. Previously, the adult emperor was in power. No matter how everyone opposed it, the emperor had a righteous name and could coerce the world. The political forces that opposed the eunuchs could not always take advantage of it. Upside.
But now, with the young emperor as the concubine, the deterrent power of the imperial power has dropped to a historical low. At the same time, the dissatisfaction of the people of the world against the eunuchs' exclusive power has also risen to a historical high!
If this kind of dissatisfaction is channeled a little, it will be a bustling situation in the world!
Yuan Shao suddenly realized that it was pointless to continue arguing about whether Yuan was rebellious at this time. Everyone knew about this and Yuan's reputation was already ruined.
What we should do now is to jump out of this circle and point the finger at the eunuchs, and then directly at Liu Bei.
In fact, when Yuan Shao thinks about it now, he doesn't quite understand. He feels that there is no need for Liu Bei to stick to the late emperor's decree. Wouldn't it be better if you kill all the eunuchs?
Even if you disobey the late emperor's decree, as long as you kill eunuchs, everyone in the world will be selectively blind, and Yuan Benchu will never be able to survive in Jizhou.
Even if Han Fu runs away, the people of Jizhou will not follow him, but will fight against him.
But unfortunately, Liu Bei didn't do this.
Cooperating with a notorious eunuch was his biggest sin. There were two eunuchs among the four ministers. This was the biggest weakness of this system.
As long as we start from this perspective, we will definitely set off a new round of rebellious psychology among the people of the world, thereby launching a huge public opinion offensive against Liu Bei and the Luoyang court.
By then, Liu Bei will inevitably lose his footing and lose his reputation.
Unless he can get rid of the eunuchs and prove that he is not on the eunuchs' side.
But as someone who joined forces with the eunuchs to gain political power, can he eradicate the eunuchs?
Maybe it's possible, but the Luoyang court will definitely be in chaos because of this, and Liu Bei will have one more enemy. Without a group of helpers, his power will definitely be weakened. This is a major benefit for Yuan Shao and others!
So when he looked at Tian Feng again, Yuan Shao's eyes became much softer.
Yeah.
It didn't take much effort to find such a good point to attack Liu Bei. This man was even willing to help him obtain Jizhou. Yuan Shao felt that Tian Feng was simply his nobleman and the man he was destined to be.
Sure enough, destiny has not completely abandoned me!
It is said that Liu Xuande has great luck, hum!
Great luck belongs to the Yuan family and to me, Yuan Shao!
"What Mr. Tian said is what I am deeply worried about. Liu Bei has a reputation as a famous person in the world, but this time he hangs out with the eunuchs. I think this is a very bad thing. Now that the puppet emperor is young, the Luoyang court It's all in the hands of Liu Bei and the eunuchs!
He has long forgotten his original intention, and has fallen into depravity. He has colluded with the eunuchs, and has done countless things that are harmful to nature. He even falsely accuses me, the Yuan family, of being rebellious. Can all the people with lofty ideals in the world just sit back and ignore such things? "
Whether the Yuan family is rebellious or not? The Luoyang incident was well known to the world. Everyone has a strong idea in their hearts. Almost all of them have been convinced. No one can criticize anyone.
But the existence of eunuchs really made the people of Jizhou very dissatisfied.
Because Jizhou itself is a place where eunuchs were born and where many properties were purchased. Many counties and counties have properties purchased by eunuchs. The Shi Changshi forces headed by Zhang Rang seem to be particularly fond of Jizhou. Both the older generation and the new generation are buying houses in Jizhou. Buying land and slaves, with the intention of retiring in Jizhou after retirement.
I don’t know if it’s because the emperor Liu Hong was born in Jizhou.
As soon as the eunuch's property increased, he naturally had fierce conflicts with the local powerful scholars. The land in Jizhou was limited. If the eunuch wanted more, he would naturally have disputes with the local people.
Some people don't take it very seriously, or the fire doesn't burn them, so they can tolerate it for the time being.
But some people have really had their interests robbed by eunuchs, so they are even more intolerable to eunuchs.
Now that the eunuchs occupy a very important position in the new court, it also proves that the eunuchs will intensify their grab for local interests, and Liu Bei's power will become the basis for the eunuchs to grab more benefits. This is unacceptable to the locals of Jizhou of.
If the political background of the Luoyang court was eunuch politics, then this emperor would be difficult for Jizhou people like them to accept.
Anyway, Tian Feng has stood up. On behalf of the Tian family whose interests have been violated by the eunuchs, he can confirm that they cannot accept the status quo of eunuchs with huge power, and they must make changes.
They wanted to call on all Jizhou people whose interests had been violated by the eunuchs to resist the eunuchs.
Choosing Yuan Shao as everyone's banner, raising the banner of anti-eunuchs, using the Yuan family's prestige and connections, calling on more people to cut ties with the eunuchs, and do things they have wanted to do for a long time but have never dared to do before, it seems. is a good choice.
It's just that the risk is too great.
But Tian Feng was the first to stand up and support.
Later, Shen Pei, a local official in the governor's office, also came forward.
"I support what Mr. Tian said. Eunuchs are running rampant in the countryside, preying on the people. The people are miserable. The mood of wanting to completely confront the eunuchs can no longer be controlled. Liu Xuande, who has the hope of the world, did not eradicate the eunuchs. It is really shocking. What a disappointment!
Now that this court has become a court controlled by eunuchs, there is no need for us to obey the orders of a eunuch court! Now, it is time for us to follow the instructions of a hero and rise up to resist! General Yuan Zhonglang is that person! "
Shenpei, who has a relatively high reputation in the local area, expressed his support for Yuan Shaoti to take over Jizhou.
Yuan Shao was overjoyed.
After the selection process, Xin Ping from Yingchuan also came forward.
He was originally Han Fu's subordinate, but Han Fu was not very close to him. This time Han Fu escaped without taking him with him, which made him very dissatisfied and disappointed. He originally planned to run away and return to his hometown in Yingchuan, but Tian Fenghe Shenpei's words moved him.
If they are just avenging the Yuan family, it is unlikely that anyone will respond to them. This call is too inferior and it is impossible to achieve anything.
But from another perspective, as long as Yuan Shao persists in opposing the eunuchs, combines the political goals of revenge for the Yuan family and opposing the eunuchs, and comes up with a new concept of "revenge against the eunuchs", it will naturally attract many people Come join this team.
The reputation of the Yuan family was already bad. The Luoyang court, which had the late emperor's edict in hand, had a great righteousness, and used this great righteousness to attack the Yuan family. It was difficult for Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu to resist.
But don’t forget, being anti-eunuch is also politically correct recognized by scholars and powerful people all over the world.
Now that Liu Xuande has become a general and holds great power, he should eradicate the eunuchs and complete what Dou Wu failed to complete. What is the result?
If you don't eradicate the power of the eunuchs, but still join forces with them to govern, isn't this too disrespectful to everyone?
Don’t forget, when you Liu Xuande fired your first shot on the political stage, it was against the eunuchs. You, Liu Xuande, have never stood with the eunuchs. You have always been a standard scholar. Why don’t you eradicate them now? Where are the eunuchs?
This is the best propaganda point. Liu Bei said that the Yuan family was a rebel, so the Yuan family would respond by being an anti-eunuch and use political correctness to fight against political correctness!
So Xin Ping gave Yuan Shao some good suggestions.
"The world is bustling with people, but eunuchs are absolutely detestable existences. The reason why Liu Xuande is famous in Luoyang is that he opposes and goes against eunuchs. Now he is a general. If eunuchs are not eradicated, how long will it take?
I vaguely remember that when Liu Xuande rose to fame, it was because he dared to fight against Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong. But now that he is a general, has he lost the courage he had back then? Instead, did he forget the threat that the eunuch brought to him? Or is he going to collude with the eunuchs?
As long as this word is spread all over the world, everyone in the world will have doubts about it. Liu Xuande will inevitably face a choice. If the eunuchs are eradicated, there will be civil strife in Luoyang. If Liu Xuande does not eradicate the eunuchs, everyone in the world will oppose him.
At that time, Yuan Zhonglang will raise his arms and shout, and the world will gather to respond and raise troops to the throne together. Liu Xuande will be in a dilemma. The biggest problem will definitely be solved, all the eunuchs will be eliminated, Liu Xuande will also lose the hearts of the people, and our long-cherished wish will definitely come true! "
