Lord Yuan

Chapter 118 Yuan Shao decided

Obviously, in the eyes of Dou Wu and Chen Fan, their operation cannot be regarded as 100% successful, and no political struggle will have an absolute victory.

Because of his talents and reputation, Yuan Shao has been regarded by them as a pillar of the scholars when they rise again in the future. They cannot venture into dangerous situations. In fact, there are many other scholars like Yuan Shao.

But for Dou Wu and Chen Fan, there are very few people who can truly achieve the attitude of Yuan Shao. They are not willing to always follow the interests of the family and are not afraid of power. It is already very difficult for these two things to appear in one person. This is a great thing, not to mention Yuan Shao is full of talents.

Chen Fan decided to start a counterattack, using the eunuch Cao Jie to target Yuan Shao and imprison him as a counterattack point.

Under such prerequisites, in fact, although many scholars are very jealous of eunuchs and do not want to provoke them too much, after all, eunuchs now place their cronies everywhere wantonly, and a large part of counties and counties in various places belong to eunuchs. People, either confidants, family members, or mud-legged people who are attached to them wholeheartedly.

With their own interests being greedily swallowed up by the eunuchs, they naturally chose to rise up and resist.

It just so happened that the Tutor and the General planned to do just that.

In August of the first year of Jianning.

The sky, which had always been filled with dark clouds, suddenly turned blue.

The Han Dynasty at that time had always paid attention to the induction of heaven and humans proposed by Dong Zhongshu. In order to strengthen the imperial power, any heavenly and human phenomena that occurred in the entire territory of the Han Dynasty would have corresponding interpretations by Si Chen officials.

Liu Yu, who was Yilang at the time, had a deep research on this technique. Chen Fan, the Taifu, went through the process one morning and promoted him to the position of servant, always accompanying the emperor.

He suddenly discovered that since he was promoted to the position of servant, Venus has appeared in the west.

In ancient times, Venus has always been regarded as a representative of the generals and ministers in the court, and its position represents the safety of the generals and ministers.

He wrote this news to the Queen Mother, but was naturally ignored by Queen Mother Dou.

In fact, Liu Yu had long known that this would be the result. Empress Dowager Dou had been close to Ling Emperor's wet nurse, Zhao Rao.

Zhao Rao was also an extremely greedy person, and he colluded with the eunuchs to exploit people wantonly in order to gain profits.

Although Empress Dowager Dou was said to have all the rights to marry her, in fact it was Zhao Rao who made the decisions many times, or was the eunuch who became friends with her.

When Liu Yu told Chen Fan and Dou Wu the news, several days had passed.

If a vision from the sky comes as a result of the induction of heaven and man, the west border of Venus will herald a great crisis for the general.

Dou Wu and Chen Fan adopted Liu Yu's suggestions.

First, make personnel arrangements in advance, such as bringing all the security forces to protect the entire Luoyang into your own hands. This existence, which can be called Luoyang's trump card, must be firmly grasped. Therefore, Zhu Yu was appointed as the Sili Colonel, and Liu You was the Yin of Henan, and Yu Qi was the magistrate of Luoyang County.

There are hundreds of Sili lieutenants in the Sili school. Henan Yin is the third auxiliary officer and naturally has hundreds of soldiers. The Luoyang county magistrate sits at the emperor's feet and has hundreds of officials.

Not enough, this is not enough.

Chen Fan sent people to Yuan Mansion.

I met Yuan Feng, the Grand Servant, hoping to get his support. After all, he represents the entire Yuan family. With the power of the Yuan family, if I raise my arms and shout, half of the states and counties in the world will respond, at least openly they will choose support.

Chen Fan didn't have high demands. If Yuan didn't want to die, he only needed to send Yuan Shu, who was in the middle of the tiger's nest, to drive him.

In this battle, absolute force must be possessed, and the Huben Suwei and the Yulin Army must be firmly in control.

The reason Yuan Shu was able to become this tiger-fighting general was because of Chen Fan's plan in advance to win over the Yuan family.

However, Yuan Feng knew very well that this battle was not a trivial fight, but a political struggle to determine the future ownership and division of interests between the two forces. For the Yuan family, which was already in a high position, they only needed to proceed step by step without taking the initiative. No matter which side wins in the end, Yuan will need to share the spoils.

Yuan Feng naturally did not want to end up, but he also thought that his son Yuan Shu had just come to Luoyang. He had a lot of capital but no merit. He was in charge of the Huben Suwei. He said that if necessary, the Huben Suwei would obey the Taifu's arrangements.

It was not all because of what the Taifu said. If Yuan Shu did not want to end, then he would temporarily step down from the official post of General Hu Ben Zhonglang.

Chen Fan won over many aristocratic families, and Dou Wu was already sought after by scholars because of his hard conditions, and various major aristocratic families emerged one after another under his command.

Dou Wu and Chen Fan had prepared everything.

When they had begun to attack some of the mud-legged men under the eunuchs, Yuan Shao went to Yongle Palace to ask for a meeting with his teacher Li Ying.

He wanted to know what his teacher was really thinking. Faced with the disaster that was about to hit this time, even Li Ying, who had lived in the palace for a long time and never interfered with current affairs, chose to die generously after the incident. He had obviously escaped so many times. Opportunity, but he still chose this, in Yuan Shao's opinion, the stupidest way without hesitation.

He didn't want the teacher to go.

Although he didn't want Chen Fan and Dou Wu to end in this way, in fact, for Yuan Shao, the more such battles, the more beneficial it would be for his future development.

He needs to baptize these noble and demanding families again and again, powerful and even eunuchs.The more such baptisms there are, the more help will be given to those hidden behind the scenes.

The Yuan family is like this, Liu Hong is like this, and Yuan Shao is like this.

There are no winners on either side of this struggle, only those buried in blood and tears.

When Yuan Shao appeared in Yongle Palace unobstructed, he could vaguely see Empress Dowager Dou still chatting with Zhao Rao, but little did he know that trouble was coming.

The life and death of these people has nothing to do with him. In this era, as the saying goes, the world is unkind and treats all things as suckers.

If a person does not serve himself, he will be destroyed by heaven and earth. Of course, under the premise of this destruction, it is not a bad idea to be able to save his teacher from this dangerous situation.

He didn't know how sure he could persuade the teacher, but he had to do it.

The worst thing he could do was force him to change his mind in his own unique way, and he couldn't keep his head down and hit the bottom of the wall.

When he and Li Ying found a secluded pavilion.

Yuan Shao told Li Ying all the plans of Grand Tutor Chen Fan and General Dou Wu, watching his face gradually become excited and happy.

Yuan Shao knew that it was time to pour cold water on the teacher.

He presented the final result of this fight in an extremely tactful and bystander manner.

It was obvious to Li Ying that he had his own judgment.

But that's it.

My teacher may have a thorough understanding of the classics, but he still has a lot of knowledge about the Xianbei alien race and the Qiang rebellion.

But in this matter, Li Ying could not match Yuan Shao's judgment anyway.

"Why do you have to choose this way to face-to-face duel with the eunuch even if the power is unequal?" Yuan Shao looked at his teacher. He was very excited now and could not get more excited.

Li Ying looked at the completely different Yuan Shao with some strangeness. He couldn't tell what had happened to this student whom he was so proud of, but he knew that Yuan Shao's words were for his own good and he didn't want to fall into such a situation. Looks like a great plan.

"This is what we people dream of doing, to clear away thousands of miles and give the Han Dynasty a good foundation. If the eunuchs continue to behave like this, the Han Dynasty will be destroyed by them sooner or later."

Li Ying's words were concise, and both inside and outside his words revealed an undoubted mentality, that is, the heart of loyalty to the emperor and the country.

"Why were the eunuchs destroyed? How much better did the aristocratic family do than the eunuchs?" Yuan Shao chose to refute the teacher head-on for the first time. He needed to wake up the teacher in an alternative way.

"Why did you say that?" Li Ying looked puzzled and looked at Yuan Shao, who was clearly from a wealthy family. Could it be that he had lost his mind and gone crazy and would choose to stab his own family in the back?

"The origin is from the Yuan family. Isn't it possible that the Yuan family is not as good as those eunuchs in your eyes?"

Yuan Shao shook his head: "It is precisely because the student comes from the Yuan family that I understand that this big man is no longer the big man of Gaozu's time, nor the big man of Emperor Guangwu's time."

"These aristocratic families that have been sucking the spinal cord of the big man without any restraint are just more decent than those eunuchs. They know what to do without causing resistance from the people below, and will not cause an angry uprising among the common people in the world."

"As for eunuchs, they place their cronies randomly throughout the country to seek their own benefits."

"As the saying goes, don't you think it's ridiculous to recommend a scholar who is filial and honest, who doesn't know how to read, and whose father lives away from home? What is filial piety? Is this how you do it? For the sake of your own career, Even my own father has to choose to live alone."

Yuan Shao spoke fiercely. He knew that he would not be able to impress the teacher if he did not do this. Seeing that the teacher seemed to be interested, he decided to add some fierce information.

"Take a step back and see that the emperor is now weak and everything is under the control of the eunuchs. There are no decrees and eunuchs are hard to find. In this situation, even if those eunuchs are killed, who knows if those who will follow will be Is it the second type of eunuch?"

It seemed that he had never thought that his students would be like this. Li Ying felt a little lost for a moment. He listened to Yuan Shao's words in a daze, but suddenly found that he didn't seem to know how to refute his bad and ridiculous point of view.

He said in a low voice with insufficient confidence: "Taifu, the generals are rare gentlemen in the world. If they win, all the eunuchs will be killed. Your Majesty will be able to personally govern and get his assistance, and this situation can be reversed. How can it be as terrible as what Ben Chu said?"

"What's more, what the eunuchs have done today is hated by all the common people in the world. Under such a situation, how can the eunuchs have a chance to stand up?"

Li Ying seemed to have thought of something, and his whole body began to become energetic.

Yuan Shao looked disdainfully and sneered: "Even if the scholars represented by the Taifu win, then the next step will be to divide the fruits left by the eunuchs. In this way, what can the emperor get and what can the common people get? It's just A different person continues to exploit in a different way."

"No matter what, teachers are not allowed to participate in this operation."
