Liu Zhang looked confused, what happened to these two people?

One's face was extremely gloomy, and the other's face suddenly turned pale with fright.

"Two military advisers, Liu Zhang's qualifications are dull, can you clear up my doubts?"

Both Jia Xu and Xun You ignored Liu Zhang, and they still looked at each other with nervous expressions.

No matter how stupid Liu Zhang is, he can still feel that something is wrong!

These two are top-level wise men, and the matter that makes them extremely worried is definitely very difficult.

"You... can you just talk to me first? At least let me know how bad the situation is!"

Liu Zhang was so anxious that he was sweating. He was always careful and never bullied others!

Now that he has reconciled with He Jin and has contact with the Yuan family, how could he suddenly fall into crisis?

"Gongda, tell me, let me think about it again."

Jia Xu didn't even have time to explain to Liu Zhang, he was still thinking about countermeasures.

Liu Zhang didn't bother Jia Xu, and looked directly at Xun You, he must know what's going on!

"My lord, you are in the middle of the game, so you can't see the situation clearly!"

"Gongda! Just tell me, I'm going to die of anxiety!"

Xun You didn't get straight to the point, which made Liu Zhang very anxious, even more nervous than facing thousands of troops!

"My lord, don't worry. Your Majesty's promotion of my lord is to protect the imperial power. Wen He asked just now, what if the imperial power cannot be guaranteed?"

The more Liu Zhang listened, the more confused he became. He was thinking about historical events in his mind, but he didn't think about what Liu Hong would do after the Yellow Turban.

"How could the imperial power not be guaranteed? Could it be that the rebels in the northwest could still reach Luoyang? Or are you worried that He Jin will rebel?"

When he said this, Liu Zhang himself didn't believe it. After all, it was impossible for him to happen!

"My lord, didn't Gongda just mention the three forces in the court?"

Seeing that Liu Zhang still couldn't figure it out, Jia Xu reminded him aloud.

Liu Zhang nodded, still puzzled.

"I know that the aristocratic family headed by Yuan Shi, the relatives headed by He Jin, and the eunuch headed by Shi Changshi."

"I know these officials don't tell me, what's the problem?"

Jia Xu asked again: "So, my lord, do you know who is the most powerful?"

"Naturally the ten permanent attendants!"

Without even thinking about it, Liu Zhang blurted out.

Jia Xu continued to ask, "Then why did His Majesty initiate the disaster of party imprisonment several times?"

"Because it is necessary to limit the continuous expansion of the power of the aristocratic family, which in turn affects the imperial power. It was only during the Yellow Turban Rebellion that His Majesty had no choice but to lift the party shackles."

Liu Zhang still answered very straightforwardly, he was already familiar with these historical events!

"Then the lord thinks that among the three forces, which one is the strongest? Which one is the weakest?"

Jia Xu's question made Liu Zhang difficult after all. It is really difficult to distinguish between the strong and weak of these three forces.

"I think in terms of power, the ten permanent servants must be the most prosperous! In terms of background, no one is better than the Yuan family, but the great general He Jin controls the world's soldiers and horses, and his strength cannot be underestimated!"

"These three powers rely on different forces. The ten permanent servants are the simplest, and they all rely on the emperor. The Yuan family has four generations and three princes, and their disciples and old officials are all over the world. This is the reason for their prosperity. The general He Jin is the most direct, it is soldiers and horses! "

Jia Xu smiled and nodded, he was very satisfied with Liu Zhang's answer.

"My lord, think carefully about the situation in the court."

Liu Zhang couldn't help but put his chin up with his hands, and fell into deep thought.

Above the court, eunuchs, aristocratic families, and relatives dislike each other and restrict each other, but they form a delicate balance.

Now compared with history, there are more people joining me, is it because of me?

"Is it because my rise broke the balance?"

Liu Zhang seemed to have a little thought, but still couldn't grasp the key point, and gave Jia Xu a puzzled look.

"That's right, but what the lord has to consider is who caused the lord to break this balance, and what is his purpose? After the balance is broken, what is the new situation!"

Jia Xu's intentions are far-reaching. He has been guiding Liu Zhang. Only by letting Liu Zhang think clearly can he truly grow up!

Liu Zhang knew Jia Xu's intentions very well, so he simply calmed down and thought carefully about Jia Xu's question.

If you ask who made you break this balance, it must be the current emperor, Liu Hong!

Without his support, how could I be in the top rank of the rear general before reaching the weak crown! Even holding 10,000 soldiers and horses!

Before the outbreak of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, there was no doubt that the power of the ten permanent servants was the most powerful! At that time, He Jin hadn't been promoted to general, so he didn't need to consider the threat of his relatives. Then only the aristocratic family headed by Yuan Shi will be left!

The aristocratic family has experienced the scourge of being imprisoned by the party, and their power has been greatly reduced. But even so, it still cannot be underestimated!

Liu Hong's use of the ten permanent servants is enough to contain the family, and the imperial power is relatively stable.

But with the outbreak of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Liu Hong had no choice but to promote He Jin, which made the power of his relatives grow rapidly!

And because of worrying that the aristocratic clans in various places harbored resentment towards the imperial court because of the Danggu, and secretly supported the Yellow Turban Army, Liu Hong had to end the Danggu, and the power of the aristocratic family rose again by leaps and bounds.

The eunuch and the relatives are fighting each other, but the aristocratic clan put on a posture of not helping each other!

No, there are quite a few families in the General's Mansion!

No no no.

Liu Zhang's thoughts were suddenly stuck, and he couldn't explain it from left to right, so he could only ask Jia Xu for advice.

"Wen He, eunuchs and relatives are fighting for life and death, and the aristocratic families seem to be at odds with each other, but in fact they are secretly helping He Jin!"

Jia Xu smiled softly and shook his head slightly.

"My lord, how did you know that the family is turning to the relatives?"

"Yuan Shao! Yuan Shao is serving in the General's Mansion! Isn't that obvious enough?"

Liu Zhang looked confused. Didn't Xun You just say that Yuan Shao became the eldest son after adopting Yuan Cheng?

"My lord!"

Xun You also smiled wryly, wondering if he thinks Liu Zhang is too stupid!

"My lord, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, and even Yuan Ji cannot represent the Yuan family. No matter who joins the General's Mansion, they can only be regarded as the Yuan family's throwing stones to ask for directions! To represent the family!"

"hiss…"

Liu Zhang took a sharp breath, and Xun You's words made him think through many things in an instant.

"I understand! The eunuch and his relatives take advantage of each other, but the aristocratic family doesn't help each other, they only want to reap the benefits of the fisherman!"

"Then He Jin is stupid, thinking that Yuan Shao's joining is the family's fall for him! In fact, His Majesty has already seen through Yuan's trick!"

"If Your Majesty just sits idly by, both the eunuchs and relatives will suffer, and the rise of the family will be even more unstoppable! Your Majesty wants me to rise up suddenly, but in fact he wants to muddy this pond! Pull the family into the water, into this quagmire!"

Both Jia Xu and Xun You nodded with a smile, Liu Zhang finally got the hang of it!

"My lord's eyes are like torches!"

Liu Zhang blushed slightly when he heard Jia Xu's praise, but he still had many questions in his heart.

"Since this is the case, aren't the Quartet forces more stable now?"

"Why do you two say I'm going to be in trouble?"
