Liu Bei knew all this very well.
At the same time, he also believed that some smart people could gradually realize this.
But when these guys who are immersed in the comfortable warm water suddenly notice that the water temperature begins to rise, will they jump out suddenly, or will they hesitate and be unable to make a decision?
The answer is already written in history. Meat eaters are despicable! Failed to plan far!
Therefore, they are destined to be a piece of meat and a ball of rice in Liu Bei's bowl.
For Liu Bei, the implementation of the State Council system and the official elimination system was a clarion call to declare war. However, in the eyes of the scholars of the ancient literature school who were collectively kFC, this was not a declaration of war, nor was it the beginning of Liu Bei raising his butcher knife. But a small internal friction.
Most people think that this is a problem that can be solved internally, or that if they cooperate with Liu Bei a little, they can still get some compensation, just like every time in the past.
It just looks like things are different.
Therefore, after Liu Bei announced that he would fully implement this policy, the conservative forces within the Ancient Literature School, headed by Zheng Tai and Jia Xi, held internal discussions and felt that there was no need to break up with Liu Bei on this matter.
Although there was a "small" dispute before, which made everyone unhappy, and there were some disputes, a cooperation agreement was finally reached.
It can be regarded as a compromise between the conservatives of the Ancient Literature School and the radicals led by Liu Bei. They lost some interests, but they did not lose too much. They were a little unhappy at first, but it passed after that.
After all, there is still money to take.
So this time they habitually thought that the worst result would be the same as before, four or six points.
Liu Bei is becoming more and more domineering, and he is not willing to split evenly. Four or six points is the bottom line for conservatives in the ancient literature school. Everyone is still the same as before - they believe that Liu Bei will give them some special terms or compensation terms to ensure that their interests are not suffer losses.
Of course it is possible to let them cooperate in doing things, but there must be some benefits, and if someone from his own faction is taken down for not doing things well, Liu Bei must also show some expression in order to save everyone's face.
Therefore, Zheng Tai and Jia Xi, as representatives of the conservatives, took the initiative to negotiate with Liu Bei on this issue and planned to ask Liu Bei how he planned to compensate for their losses.
These two people felt that they could negotiate anything if they took action, so they took the initiative to go to the general's mansion to look for Liu Bei.
But unlike last time, this time Liu Bei met them. From the moment they arrived at the gate of the General's Mansion, he could feel the vigilant gaze. The soldiers guarding the General's Mansion wearing light armor and holding swords seemed completely different from before. Approved people.
On their way from the door to the living room, they also discovered a number of armed soldiers in light armor patrolling and standing guard. These soldiers were very majestic and they could tell at a glance that they were elites. More importantly, everyone used Wary eyes scrutinized them.
how? Think we are assassins?
Zheng Tai and Jia Xi felt a little unhappy, but they couldn't say anything. They could only lower their heads and pass through here as quickly as possible to avoid those eyes boring into them and making them uncomfortable.
But the situation did not improve even when they saw Liu Bei, because when they saw Liu Bei, there were two strong men standing behind Liu Bei.
The two strong men still looked at them with the same eyes as before.
Why is it still here?
Zheng Tai and Jia Xi were speechless.
This reminded them of the rumors that had been circulating in Luoyang circles before.
It is said that since the last assassination, Liu Bei has prepared a very strong and professional team of personal guards to protect his safety.
And according to the latest requirements of the General's Palace, the Guards must protect Liu Bei's safety at all times. Even if Liu Bei is sleeping, the courtyard where he lives must be personally protected by the Guards.
Later, when many people met Liu Bei, they found that he was different from the past.
There were always a few Guards soldiers around him who were eyeing them. This sudden change gave them a sense of oppression.
It makes them feel uncomfortable and nervous.
Invisibly, Liu Bei's power also increased. Many people did not dare to get too close to Liu Bei for fear of being targeted by the guards with knives. Many people felt a little unhappy.
But there is no way, who let Liu Bei be assassinated before?
Now it is reasonable and legal for people to strengthen security, and no one can say otherwise.
So those who met Liu Bei could only talk to Liu Bei under the guarded and vigilant eyes of his personal guards. .
Zheng Tai and Jia Xi had heard about this, but had never seen Liu Bei's personal guards with their own eyes. When they saw it with their own eyes today, they suddenly felt that except for ghosts and gods, no one would dare to cause trouble to Liu Bei without being discerning.
These two bull-like strong men were tall and majestic, wearing leather armor and holding long knives. One of them also carried several short iron halberds on his back. It was unknown what they were used for.
Although they knew that these two people would not use force against them, they still felt a little nervous unconsciously and could feel a slight sense of oppression.
"Xuande, I'm here because I want to talk to you about something important. I don't know if I can...
Zheng Tai glanced at the two tough men standing behind Liu Bei.
Liu Bei looked back at Xu Chu and Dian Wei.
They were specially brought here by himself to give Zheng Tai and Jia Xi a little shock in the general's palace. He knew what these two people were here for, so he asked Xu Chu and Dian Wei to work together.
"They are my personal guards. They are never far from me. They are absolutely reliable. Their mouths are also absolutely tight. Without my permission, no one will leak even a word of the conversation I had with Zheng Gong and Jia Gong today."
Zheng Tai and Jia Xi looked at each other and felt helpless.
"Well, Xuande, the two of us are here today to discuss with you what you mentioned about the government affairs meeting and the elimination of officials. Regarding the elimination of officials, what we want to know is...
Although it was a bit difficult to talk to Liu Bei under the scrutiny of two tough men, Zheng Tai still spoke first despite the pressure because it was about core interests.
His meaning is also very simple.
In this wave, will they still be open to them, just hold it high and put it down gently?
If you want to do a full trick, what kind of compensation should be given to them afterwards to make up for their losses?
How many benefits should be given in exchange for capturing an official or clerk?
This is how everyone has done it in the past, and this time is no exception, right?
After all, we are our own people, and you, Liu Xuande, are today thanks to our help, right?
To put it bluntly, they feel that if Liu Bei really holds a political conference and eliminates officials, then in the next two or three years, someone from their faction will definitely fall, and the number will not be small.
But if Liu Bei had not done this, this loss could have been avoided.
Of course, everyone is so familiar with each other, so it’s not impossible to cooperate, and it’s not impossible to remove some people to save your face, but you can’t let us suffer too much, right?
The two of them were waiting for Liu Bei's quotation.
When you win a county magistrate, will you give money or compensation for other local magistrate positions?
Ten million?
How about taking down the next county governor?
When Liu Hong was still in office, a county governor needed to pay 20 million yuan to take office. Let's not say more, at least it can't be less than this number, right?
As a result, Liu Bei's answer surprised them.
Liu Bei's general meaning is - you guys talk to me about compensation and I want to laugh.
Still want compensation? Wasn’t the previous compensation enough? What a beautiful thought!
