Lord Yuan

Chapter 35 See you at the end

My teacher was strong and unyielding. Even when he faced the emperor who commanded the entire Han Dynasty, he dared to argue with reason. When faced with the eunuchs' rebellion, he dared to rule according to law.

This originally had nothing to do with him. With his current ability and reputation, he was far from being able to touch the struggle above the court.

If Li Ying wants to return to the court, he must have an opportunity that is enough to reverse the situation of the war.

And now.

This opportunity was right in front of him.

The Yuan family.

Yuan Shao thought about it carefully and understood the reason.

After all, his teacher was unwilling to give up. Faced with the eunuch chaos in the Manchu Dynasty, the more righteous domestic celebrities like them, the more unwilling to give up, even if they have been suppressed forever by Emperor Xiaohuan's party imprisonment. Can't hold my head up.

Yuan Shao secretly rejoiced at the same time.

Fortunately, he is from the Yuan family in Runan, the only one among the current family.

Fu Bo accidentally made a right choice for himself. If not, his article would have been shelved for who knows how long.

Yuan Shao put away his smile and put on a stern expression, showing his trademark attitude of a son of a noble family.

"Master Li's reputation has spread far and wide. Foreigners are timid and eunuchs are frightened. Now His Majesty has dismissed Master Li from his official position due to a sudden mistake. Brother Zan, don't be impatient."

"Master Li's strategy is so profound that it is rarely seen in the world. If nothing unexpected happens, when the Qiang people learn that Master Li has resigned, they will definitely restart the Tiger and Wolf Division and invade the border."

"At that time, His Majesty will definitely restart Master Li."

Yuan Shao was well aware of the direction of history. Soon, the emperor would die and the world would be in chaos. Emperor Ling would succeed to the throne, and his cousin Dou Wu and Taiwei Chen Fan would regain power. Therefore, he continued to appoint many scholars who had been dismissed before, including those who were idle at home. Li Ying.

He knew very well that this was a naked conspiracy, a struggle against scholars that continued to sweep the country.

Li Ying clearly had a chance to escape, but when the party's imprisonment broke out, the court arrested scholars who were involved with the party members. Li Ying clearly had a chance to escape, but he stayed where he was and spoke to his fellow villagers who were hurriedly fleeing.

"I have been walking on thin ice through thousands of arrows but I have not taken a step back. Now serving the monarch has led to disaster. The eunuch has fabricated charges and imposed on me. As a minister, it is my moral integrity not to escape if I am guilty. I am already over sixty years old, and I have long looked down on life and death. , where can you go in this huge world?"

So he took the initiative to go to the prison ordered by the imperial court.

Even though he was tortured by those evil-minded eunuchs like Li Ying who were afraid that the whole world would say that the eight heroes would be reborn, they never said even a single word of truth.

In the end, under the disguised torture of the eunuchs, Li Ying was tortured to death.

His children and clan were sent to the border to be exiled to the army.

The old officials under the sect will never be hired by the students.

Such a noble and honorable man must end up like this.

Yuan Shao secretly felt cruel.

I, Yuan Shao, will never let this happen again, and at the very worst, I will save Master Li's life.

With this thought in his mind, Yuan Shao still maintained a straight posture on his face.

Li Zan felt a little comforted when he heard Yuan Shao's comfort.

"Father has been waiting here for a long time. The distinguished guest also wants to meet Benchu." Li Zan led the way and led Yuan Shao into the courtyard.

"Father, Ben Chu has arrived." Li Zan shouted loudly before he arrived.

Yuan Shao quickly straightened his clothes and then lowered his head to observe whether there was any discomfort in his appearance.

Facing Li Ying, Yuan Shao actually always felt a little timid, just like an ugly daughter-in-law meeting her new mother-in-law for the first time.

Yuan Shao calmed down and looked respectful.

"My hair has turned white waiting for you. Why did I just come here today?" Li Ying was dressed in Taixue uniform and academic cap, looking like a strict teacher.

Yuan Shao slowly raised his head and saw a pair of eyes that were a little too bright. When he saw the iconic clothes, he knew that this was Li Ying.

He hurriedly stepped forward and bowed respectfully: "How dare students trouble Master Li and harm the students?"

There was a person standing next to Li Ying. Yuan Shao didn't know who he was, but seeing that he was slightly younger than Li Ying, he also bowed to him.

After giving up, Yuan Shao stood up and quietly waited for Li Ying's next instruction. "Ciming, do you know his name?" Li Ying asked the man next to him with a smile.

The man smiled and said, "Li Jun is joking. I am just an ordinary person, and I have never met this wise nephew, so how can I know his name?"

After saying that, he looked at Yuan Shao, who had a reserved posture, and laughed softly: "I don't know how to call him, but his talent and learning are so outstanding. Li Jun is so happy that he even wants to go out of the house to see it with his own eyes."

Yuan Shao suddenly realized when he learned that the man next to him was named Ciming.

Isn't this the same Xun Shuang who drove Li Ying in Yingchuan when he returned home from office?

One of the Eight Dragons of Yingchuan, ranked sixth. It is known as the Eight Dragons of Xunshi and has unparalleled Ci Ming.

During the reign of Emperor Xiaohuan, he was recommended as Supreme Xiao by Taichang Zhao Dian.

When Yuan Shao came back to his senses, he never expected that he would meet a big boss from the Yingchuan Xun family here.

Xun Yu still had to lower his posture respectfully in front of him.

"The student's name is Yuan Shao. His courtesy name is Benchu. I have met Mr. Ciming."

Xun Shuang's eyes were filled with surprise. He looked at Yuan Shao in front of him and treated everyone well, and he couldn't help but take a high look.

"Which Yuan family? Could it be the Yuan family in Runan?"

Yuan Shao was neither humble nor arrogant, with a calm expression. He cupped his hands and replied softly: "The student doesn't want to reveal his family background, but Mr. Zhi has always known people very accurately, so it is not convenient to hide it."

"It's the Yuan family from Runan."

Xun Shuang became more and more interested. He had also dealt with Yuan Wei, who was now serving as Dahong Luqing in the court, but he felt unclear about it.

The Yuan family's reputation as the Fourth Generation and Three Dukes is not in vain. Although it has not reached its peak now, it should not be underestimated.

After all, the Yuan family has always claimed the surname of Zhong in the world.

Why is the surname Zhong?

The ancients have always regarded seniority as seniority ranking among brothers and uncles.

The character Bo is in the front and the character Zhong is in the back.

Therefore, the Yuan family often boasts of being the second surname in the world.

Xun Shuang has always heard about this family known as Zhong. After all, there are not many connections between aristocratic families.

What's more, the base areas of the two aristocratic families are also within the jurisdiction of Yuzhou.

"Who are you, Da Hongluqing now?"

Yuan Shao looked at Xun Shuang's eyes and nodded: "I'm uncle."

"What about Mrs. Yuan?"

"Uncle too."

Xun Shuang was also stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect that the person standing in front of him was actually a direct descendant of the Yuan family.

"No wonder, then Yuan Cheng is your father."

Yuan Shao nodded, then shook his head slightly, with a trace of hesitation in his eyes.

When Xun Shuang saw this, he knew that he was asking about someone's pain.

Yuan Cheng had a well-known name, was tall and liked to make friends, so it was widely rumored in the Luoyang court at that time.

Everyone from General Liang Ji to the following did good things for him.

Yuan Chengying died young, and his official position was only that of Zuo Zhonglang.

"Why are you talking about this? Ci Ming, why did you come here today to investigate the person's background?" Li Ying pretended to be dissatisfied, and he also saw Yuan Shao's sadness.

Facing this student who became more and more pleasing to his eyes, Li Ying was eager to conduct the apprenticeship ceremony as soon as possible.

"Li Jun was joking. Although Benchu ​​comes from a famous family, he has no arrogance at all. He is really much better than the one from my family."
