Lord Yuan

Chapter 54 Political struggle is endless

The first year of Yongkang.

Yuan Shao listened to the time mentioned by the servants in the Li Mansion chatting.

In the first year of Yongkang, December 28th will be the day after tomorrow.

If nothing unexpected happens, this day will be the day when Liu Zhi, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty and Emperor Xiaohuan of the Han Dynasty, passes away.

Of course, since he is not dead yet and has not been given a posthumous title, he cannot be called Xiaohuan.

Yuan Shao planned to go back to the house, write a few letters quickly, and make plans in advance.

On the way, I met Li Zan who was rushing out.

Yuan Shao called softly: "Brother Zan, why are you in such a hurry?"

Li Zan just immersed himself in rushing and did not notice Yuan Shao's figure in advance. Hearing Yuan Shao's call, he realized it later and stopped slowly.

"Benchu, my father asked me to notify other students to come. Today he plans to teach scriptures for the last time."

After Li Zan finished speaking, he glanced at Yuan Shao who was a little stunned. For fear that he might misunderstand, he hurriedly said: "Of course, Benchu ​​is not one of them. My father has always planned for you to inherit his mantle. Even I am treated like this." This biological son doesn’t even realize it.”

Li Zan was smiling but not smiling, and anyone could see the helplessness on his face.

As the biological son of Li Ying, his knowledge is not as bad as that of Yingchuan's talented people. However, when facing Yuan Shao, he never received some favor from his father. On the contrary, Yuan Shao, as an outsider, repeatedly I once again experienced my father's unique teaching method.

Li Zan is just a little envious. Compared with Yuan Shao, he is still self-aware for the time being.

What's more, after becoming a family, there is nothing to worry about.

He knew very well what his father's frequent and subtle temptations meant. In addition, the silly sister who was devoted to Yuan Shao only knew how to cling to Yuan Shao all day long, completely leaving his father and my brother aside.

Alas, fortunately, Yuan Shao had a prominent family background and his own conditions were extremely strong. Li Zan felt that Yuan Shao and Li Wan were indeed a talented man and a beautiful woman.

I just don’t know when Yuan Shao plans to come to propose marriage.

How about you take advantage of now and ask?
Li Zan was a little hesitant.

Yuan Shao looked at his future uncle in front of him and suddenly looked around, his thoughts racing, and he chuckled.

"Brother Zan has something important to do, why don't you hurry up and take care of it. I also have something to do after I go to see the teacher."

Li Zan was struck like thunder and suddenly realized.

Nodding eagerly and looking at Yuan Shao, his future brother-in-law became even more lovable.

"What Benchu ​​said is true. I almost missed my father's important event, so I will go and come back."

Yuan Shao smiled and nodded.

Then the two went their separate ways.

Arrive at Master Li’s door.

Yuan Shao calmed down and opened the door.

"Teacher, I heard from Brother Zan that you are going to teach for the last time."

Li Ying has a frivolous beard.

When facing Yuan Shao, he always showed sternness that ordinary people could not match, and he never stopped even in the scorching sun and cold winter. Under his training, Yuan Shao had gradually gathered momentum, which was completely different from the first time he came to the door.

"It's time for them to find their own way back. From me, they can't learn what they really want."

Yuan Shao was thoughtful, and he knew exactly what Li Ying's words meant, which were obviously a pun.

The teacher was speaking in a subtle way about the seniors who came here because of their fame and went to great lengths to pay their respects. What they wanted was nothing more than fame, connections, and political resources.

Now, time has passed, I have gained a reputation, and I have made connections, but my political resources are not available for the time being.

The ban imposed by the party has not been lifted yet. As a model party member in the world, Master Li ranks first among the eight heroes. Naturally, he is strictly monitored by the eunuchs.

"Everyone's pursuit is different. Some people like beauty, but they don't know that the word "sexuality" means a knife. Another example is that some people are addicted to gambling, and they gamble until their family is ruined and they still don't know it."

"These types of people all have one thing in common."

"They are all exquisite egoists. Whenever there is a slightest stake, they will choose to think about it for who knows how long before finally making a difficult decision that is obviously not correct." Yuan Shao didn't think at all, raised his head and looked directly at Master Li's deep pair of eyes. eyes, unyielding.

When he faces something he has decided is right, few people can force him to step back.

Li Ying seemed to have something in mind and frowned.

"Exquisite egoist."

"This sentence hits the mark."

Yuan Shao stopped asking further questions and instead asked about other things.

"Teacher, do you still have any plans to continue to be an official?"

Li Ying, who was almost 60 years old, was a little surprised when Yuan Shao asked him this question.

"Why do you ask this question?"

"Students have a premonition that the teacher will be reactivated before long."

"How can you see it? Your Majesty has been deceived now, and all those eunuchs are in power. The party's brazen campaign is still forcing countless scholars to grow old with regret. I don't know when we will see this turbid and dark court restored to purity."

Li Ying's eyes shone, but then dimmed again. He didn't know how to deal with those eunuchs who were good at understanding people's hearts.

He is no longer as vigorous and vigorous as he was when he was young. The influence of age is gradually wearing away Li Ying's spirit, courage and fearlessness.

Yuan Shao naturally had enough confidence to say these words.

After the death of Emperor Xiaohuan, Dou Wu, a relative, regained power.

Dou Wu, who can be said to be a breath of fresh air among his relatives, is not as domineering as his predecessor Liang Ji, nor is he like the latecomer He Jin, who was born a butcher and only knew force but not power.

After Liu Hong, the Marquis of Jieduting, succeeded to the throne, the first thing Dou Wu did when he regained power was to start using party members who had been deposed during the first party ban.

As a leader of the party, Li Ying, a powerful family member, was naturally among them.

Yuan Shao had a clear view of the current situation, and Dou Wu was about to become the most prominent member of the court again, holding many powers in his hands.

But he failed miserably again in the subsequent struggle with the eunuchs.

In Yuan Shao's view, all this explains it.

None of them are very good at political warfare.

Or.

These people have no idea what political struggle is.

The eunuchs were very familiar with this, and political struggles seemed to be commonplace for them.

The most striking feature of political struggle.

Never die.

Don't leave any sparks behind, as resurgence is not uncommon.

The eunuchs knew this very well. They had been pushed to the edge of a cliff many times.

But amid the eunuchs' groveling pleas for mercy and tearful confessions, the predecessors, who clearly had the upper hand, chose to forgive.

Then came the resurgence of the eunuchs.

The eunuchs were missing something, and it seemed that God had given them something in return.

That is to treat things with meticulous attention to detail, and the slightest disturbance will cause a stir.

The political struggle was vividly displayed in the hands of the eunuchs.

Yuan Shao didn't want to let his teacher embark on the road of no return that was destined to be a dead end in this life.

　Please collect it, recommend it, and read it.Asking for a monthly pass, asking for anything
　　With so much preparation before, Yuan Shao was finally going to show off his skills in the court.
