Chapter 446 Master-Apprentice Alliance vs. Insect Alliance

In this era when the procuratorial system dominates the imperial talent election, Maocai is a higher rank than Xiaolian, and his future promotion will be smoother, and there are very few people who have this qualification.

In the entire Han Empire, there were at most 20 people who had the qualifications to select Maocai, so each time Maocai was recommended was at most 20 people, or even single digits.

Entering an official career through Maocai is equivalent to pre-booking the seats of the Sangong Jiuqing. For ordinary people, it is an existence that is beyond reach.

With such resources in hand, Liu Bei is naturally dignified, and those who want to obtain such resources must flock to him.

Of course, it's not enough just to have resources, but to use them.

There are a lot of resources on Lu Zhi's side, but Lu Zhi has not used them very much. He has his own persistence in this kind of thing, cherishes feathers, cherishes reputation, and is unwilling to accommodate the world for certain things.

Therefore, Lu Zhi has been unable to achieve much in his tenure as Taiwei, not only because he has no good opportunities, but also because few people are willing to cooperate with Lu Zhi.

Lu Zhi is unwilling to exchange his own resources, so no one is willing to cooperate with him.

Liu Bei discussed this matter with Lu Zhi, and suggested that he slightly change his principles of handling affairs, but Lu Zhi expressed that he was unwilling to make do with it.

"I did a lot of things against my will before, but I didn't make the ancient literature school better, so now, I don't want to continue to insult my reputation. I hope to preserve the last reputation. But, Xuande, stop talking."

Lu Zhi may be able to discuss other matters, but Lu Zhi is very concerned about this matter. He is absolutely unwilling to use his political resources for dirty political exchanges, which will make him feel sick.

Liu Bei had no choice but to resort to his ultimate move.

"Then if the disciple is in a disadvantageous state because of this, do you want to stand by and watch?"

After saying this, Lu Zhi was helpless.

"Xuande, Xuande, hehehehehe, that's all, that's all, if you need anything else, just tell me."

Under Liu Bei's offensive, Lu Zhi still compromised, saying that the Maocai quota was the most precious and important political resource in his hands, and he was willing to give it to Liu Bei for deployment.

If necessary, the quota in his Taiwei's mansion can also be given to Liu Bei for deployment.

He only had one request, the candidate needs to be checked by Liu Bei himself, he must be a talent, and he must not be an insect. In this regard, he can't trust others, he only trusts Liu Bei.

Liu Bei agreed to Lu Zhi.

So on February 25th of the sixth year of Zhongping, Lu Zhi and Liu Bei's master-student alliance and He Jin and Yuan Wei's insect alliance were completely opposed to each other.

Holding all the political resources brought by the two positions of Hussar General and Taiwei, Liu Bei stood on the opposite side with He Jin and Yuan Wei, kicking off the prelude to "Decisive Battle at the Top of Luoyang 2.0".

With the confrontation between the master-student alliance and the insect alliance, the situation in Luoyang has undergone further changes, and Liu Bei has also taken advantage of the situation to launch specific actions against the insect alliance.

Liu Bei's return and his public opposition to the abolition of the elders and the establishment of the young made many people's worries about Liu Bei disappear, not to mention that after returning to Luoyang, Liu Bei raised his opposition to the abolition of the elders and the establishment of the young twice in public.

The first time it was just a small-scale speech.

The second time, it was Liu Bei's speech at a banquet held in the General Hussar's Mansion to celebrate the official opening of the Hussars General's Mansion.

He once again expressed his opposition to abolishing the elders and establishing the young, and upholding the rule of inheritance by the eldest son. His return this time is definitely not to promote the matter of abolishing the elders and establishing the young. He can use his reputation as a guarantee.

The reason why he is willing to come back is because some people hold soldiers to their own dignity, do not obey the emperor's order, treat the emperor's order as a joke, and disrespect the emperor.

As a clan member of the Han Dynasty, he could not tolerate this kind of thing.

He will definitely uphold the glory of the eldest son inheritance system, but he also cannot tolerate Liu's imperial power being provoked by people of other surnames. He stands on the side of the royal family to maintain the majesty of the royal family.

This is tantamount to publicly declaring war on Yuan Kui and He Jin.

And Liu Bei's declaration prompted some Luoyang scholars to reflect and start to think about a very serious question-is the emperor's big battle aimed at He Jin?
If so, what happened to Liu Bei's speech and statement and the establishment of Hussar General's Mansion?

If not, why did he deliberately target He Jin?
Is it really just for He Jin?
Thinking of this, someone suddenly mentioned something.

At that time, when the emperor ascended the throne, he was supported by the former general Dou Wu. The throne of the emperor was decided by Dou Wu. The latter two clashed. The emperor relied on the power of the eunuch to get rid of the general Dou Wu and regained power. .

Looking forward, the first emperor was also supported by Liang Ji, who was the great general at the time, to ascend to the throne. Later, he also relied on the power of eunuchs to kill Liang Ji and regain power.

The biggest obstacle in the early days of the two consecutive emperors was the general, so let's look at He Jin now, look at He Jin's power now, and Empress He in the palace...

If today's emperor passed away and Liu Bian ascended the throne, would the power be in Liu Bian's hands, or in the hands of Empress He and He Jin brothers and sisters?

Can the emperor accept it?
As soon as this idea was put forward, there was a big market immediately. Some people began to hold this view, thinking that the possibility of this kind of situation might be the goal of the emperor's decision to take action against He Jin.

Because he hated He Jin and the tradition of a great general governing, Liu Hongcai decided to take a series of actions against He Jin. He didn't care that He Jin was the uncle of the eldest son of the emperor. in hand.

If you think about it this way, many things that you couldn't figure out in the past can be figured out in an instant.

As a result, some people who were originally on the vacillating position fell to Lu Zhi and Liu Bei's master-student alliance, and chose to stand on Liu Bei's side, and chose to stand on the side of the emperor.

Liu Bei also jumped up and down during this period of time, running back and forth in Luoyang City, looking for support from many sources, and for this reason once again sacrificed the usual magic weapon during the battle between ancient and modern prose.

He said that after he eliminated those who did not respect the emperor, he would once again promote the classics of the ancient literature school to replace the classics of the modern literature school.

Yuan Kai had made such a promise before, but it failed and failed. After that, he procrastinated and repeated, but he didn't succeed anyway. Those ancient literary forces who made a decision to invest in Yuan Kai were very worried.

Especially in the face of Liu Bei's strong rise, they became more worried, so they began to consciously send people to ease the relationship with Lu Zhi before Liu Bei returned to Luoyang. .

Don't even want Liu Bei to come to them, they will come to Liu Bei.

The representatives are mainly Zheng Tai and Jia Xi.

When Lu Zhi and Yuan Wei were arguing, these two people were representative figures who took refuge in Yuan Wei. They were also beneficiaries of Zuo's Spring and Autumn Period, but they chose to betray Lu Zhi because of the requests of other families and the additional interests of their own family. Yuan Kui.

They are not satisfied with the status quo of Zuo's Spring and Autumn Period, they want more ancient Chinese classics to replace modern Chinese classics, they want more.

Now that Liu Bei is back, they came to contact Liu Bei again, saying that they were just trying to let other families who didn't get benefits get benefits together, so as to ensure the maximum unity of the ancient literature school and avoid a complete split.

Only the family inherited from Zuo's Spring and Autumn Period will benefit, while the inheritance of other families will not.

At that time, Lu Zhi could not lead everyone in this direction, only Yuan Wei could, so it was understandable for everyone to follow Yuan Wei.

They just made a mistake that all Fanyue families would make, and they should be forgiven once.

Right, Xuande?
Liu Bei looked at them with a smile and nodded slowly.

Yes, of course.

Everyone is just doing it for the benefit, not for anything else, and they don't have any personal opinions on Lu Zhi, so as long as the interests are in place, we can still cooperate with each other to achieve great things, right?

Liu Bei didn't think about what to do with them from the very beginning. The so-called gaining the right gives more help than losing the right. If Liu Bei can't get help from many people now, wouldn't it prove that he has no "dao"?

And when he has the "Tao", those who don't help him become innocent.

That's when it's time for a full-scale counterattack.

Now is not the time.

So Liu Bei immediately stated that it is his duty to lead everyone to victory. As long as he can defeat the insect alliance of Yuan Wei and He Jin, then he will be the strongest power holder. Sweep pie thoroughly into the trash.

But the premise is that you want to help me, you have to help me with all your strength, and you can no longer have two minds.

Zheng Tai and Jia Xi immediately said that Liu Bei is wise, martial, and handsome, and he looks like he can win at first glance. They will definitely do their best to help Liu Bei win the victory, and they will definitely not let the insects win.

After Liu Bei's forgiving expression, Zheng Tai and Jia Xi brought good news to the scumbags. When the good news came, the scumbags naturally surrendered, and they all returned to the master-student alliance.

The reason is also very simple.

After all, Yuan Kui jumped from the Modern Literature School, while Lu Zhi and Liu Bei tried to be members of the Ancient Literature School. Under the same conditions, their own people are more trustworthy, and outsiders...

Hard to say.

So Yuan Kai was dumbfounded.
