Lord Yuan

Chapter 22
Xu Suo is not as calm and generous as his brother. On the contrary, deep down in his heart, he does not want others to overtake him.

For a time, he was unwilling to share the same stage with his cousin Xu Jing. Most of the time, he was either ostracizing or suppressing him. As a result, the society was in turmoil and the Xu family declined. When Xu Zhen was appointed as the chief minister of Runan, Xu Jing could only make a living by helping others.

This can still be the case among cousins, which shows what kind of person Xu Xing is.

If Yuan Shao opened his mouth, as a member of the Yuan family, Xu Su would naturally not dare to say anything about rejection, and would even choose to come to the door and submit his comments on his own initiative.

But if it was an eunuch descendant who relied on the Cao family in Qiaojun to make his fortune by relying on eunuchs, Xu Zhen would not agree to it.

Who doesn't know that all the troubles in the world originate from the court, and all the eunuchs and eunuchs in the court are causing harm, poisoning the world, and using all possible means.

Such a heinous sinner of the Han Dynasty, although he now relies on his smooth words to deceive the emperor, uses his clever words to make money, and uses his powerless body to exercise the rights of the emperor, no one in the world will not want to crush his body and raise his ashes to express the hatred in his heart.

Now Cao Cao wants to be commented on, how can Xu Zhen let him get his wish? Not to mention that many scholars are watching, even he himself can't open his mouth.

If this were to set a precedent, Xu Zijiang would actually comment on future generations. I really don’t know how much spittle would drown him.

At the same time, he really couldn't understand what Yuan Shao could expect from the descendants of the Yuan family, the mighty overlord of Runan, besides being unable to grasp the sun, moon and stars in the sky.

Today, he would be associated with Cao Mengde, a cunning and insidious person. Wouldn't such behavior arouse the resentment and scorn of other clans?

He wanted to refuse directly, but when he looked at Yuan Shao's unquestionable look in the stands, Xu Na was a little scared after all.

After much thought, Xu Na chose to politely refuse. After all, he had offended a Yuan Shao, and perhaps the Yuan family would not blame him.

But if he offended the scholars all over the world and became the target of their verbal and written criticism, Xu Zhen felt that it would be better to die.

"At this time, I understand the rules of Yuedan Criticism better than you. If I open my mouth, I don't know how I will be viewed by the scholars who come after me, and how I will be treated by those gentlemen who want to be famous all over the world."

"If I were to ask for comment from Benchu ​​today, I, General Xu, might as well come to the Yuan Mansion in person." Xu Suo spoke resolutely.

"But if you are a eunuch, please forgive me for refusing."

Everyone present was in an uproar when they saw that Xu Suo, who had always been reluctant to say anything, dared to reject Yuan Shao in public.

They couldn't help but give him a thumbs up, and they all praised Xu Zijiang for his high righteousness and his unyielding power, and they were in awe.

Yuan Shao didn't say much, he just jumped off the stage, came to the angry Cao Cao, lightly patted his shoulders a few times, whispered a few words, and then jumped back on the stage under the puzzled eyes of everyone.

"Is there anyone still arguing with me?" Yuan Shao glanced around and said slowly.

"Is there no one?"

At this time, Cao Cao, who was in an extremely entangled state in the audience, was in a dilemma. After a long time, Cao Cao raised his eyebrows and shouted loudly: "I, Cao Mengde, am willing to come."

Yuan Shao smiled knowingly and waved his hand to signal him to come up for a while.

Cao Cao got rid of the shackles in his heart, jumped up and landed firmly on the stage.

The two looked at each other.

"I surrender."

The audience was in an uproar, and the dramatic scene was like playing house.

Afterwards, Yuan Shao, who had completed all this, returned to his seat freely and gracefully amid the astonished and astonished eyes of everyone.

Cao Cao was left on the stage with an apologetic look on his face.

"It doesn't make sense!"

Someone was hiding in the dark and shouting loudly.

"That eunuch, get out of here quickly, don't dirty that piece of pure land!"

Yuan Shao had already expected this situation, and jumped back to the stage, looking towards the direction where the shouts were the loudest.

"I don't know what kind of heroic and righteous man he is, but he only dares to hide in the back and stab people in secret. How can he not listen to the behavior of a gentleman? He should act openly and honestly. If he is dissatisfied, he can go on stage for a while."

Yuan Shao was neither humble nor arrogant, but his inherent power as a superior was quietly revealed at this moment.

The man was startled. If he offended Yuan Shao, he would be offending the Yuan family. To offend the overlord of Runan just for the sake of a quick talk was really not worth the gain.

No one responded for a long time, and Yuan Shao returned to his seat.With Yuan Shao's interference, no one dared to sneer.

"So, can Meng De be the star of the moon tonight?" Yuan Shao turned his head and said calmly.

It seemed that everything before had nothing to do with him, Yuan Shao was still so magnanimous, free and easy, and at ease.

Have you ever seen the two brothers Xu Suo behave like this?

This clearly shows that they are here to cause trouble and act rogue.

But they were helpless. With Yuan Shao's identity, no one present dared to speak out against him.

Xu Na knew very well that Yuan Benchu ​​would not give up until he achieved his goal.

And he was also a stubborn person who didn't want to bow down. He said angrily and hatefully: "Originally, I was afraid of being criticized by others for doing things like this, but for the sake of Cao Mengde, it's worth it!"

Old God Yuan Shao is here, "It's worth it."

Of course it was worth it.

Even though the current Cao Cao is young, he is full of strategies and will be a great hero in the future. How can he be compared to such a poor and rotten scholar who only knows temporary fame and wealth?

What's more, the Cao family in Qiao County is famous, and its subordinate Xiahou family has many talents. Yuan Shao needs such help and has great potential in the future.

Today is the day when I stand out for my righteousness, so what can I do next?

The passion in Yuan Shao's heart was also being ignited little by little, and as for the matters after his death, he would leave them to the deceased.

"In that case, Xu Xuan won't say any more."

"But if you thought I would give in like this, that's not necessarily true. Cao Cao has never been masked, and he was in a hurry, so he didn't know much about it, so his comments had no context for a while." Xu Ma laughed, Anyway, I didn't refuse it openly, I just stated an objective fact.

So, what else can you, Yuan Benchu, say?
Yuan Shao nodded in agreement.

"Mengde has just arrived, so it is understandable that the general would not know about it. It always takes time for me to know people. Mengde will not leave Runan for the time being. Then Mengde and I will go to the Xu Mansion to pay our respects."

Xu Na's face was pale. He never expected that Yuan Shao, who looked elegant and graceful, would use threats to coerce him.

Xu Na suddenly had the idea of ​​giving in, and then he was reminded by his brother Xu Jing and said: "In that case, we will congratulate Ben Chu on his arrival."

"Mengde, come down."

Cao Cao was really angry.

Why are these people all of the same virtue? They simply look at people based on their family background, but do not treat them based on their talents, knowledge, or conduct.

Cao Cao suddenly felt a little tired. Just like when he went to Hongnong, the arrogant expressions of those high-ranking aristocratic families stung Cao Cao's already overwhelmed mind.

Today, he was treated differently again. How could he not hear Xu Xing's excuse.

After saying goodbye, I don’t know when I will meet this good opportunity again.

After experiencing these ridicules, I feel helpless.

Cao Cao just wanted to find a place to have a good cry.

It was Yuan Shao again, patting his shoulder.

"Don't worry, someone will cry."

　I do what I say, even if it is late at night, the author is still working overtime. My son is just ten days old and my wife is in confinement and cannot help. I can only take on the responsibility of being a father, so the updates are not stable.
