Lord Yuan

Chapter 58 Li Ying’s Attitude
"The Grand Tutor called me to Luoyang as an official. I don't know how many people are staring at my legs. They may not believe that I have to go through muddy waters at this age." Li Ying shook his head mockingly, frowning. The room is full of vitality and a positive attitude.

Li Ying has never been a person who is good at retreating. Even if a situation where thousands of arrows are fired comes, he will always choose to move forward bravely.

In other words, border sergeants like him often have this crazy and wise attitude in their bones.

When asked by Emperor Huan, Li Ying was still able to do it with ease. At the same time, he could also interrogate the arrested eunuchs with various tricky crimes, so that the emperor had to change his mind.

Although Li Ying is still being reactivated, he is highly regarded.

But its foundation has been lost. Just like the pavilions and pavilions, the foundation is not very good.

His official career is not like that of nobles from aristocratic families who rely on family resources to climb up step by step. At the same time, his disciples and former officials are also climbing up each other, so that in a certain period in the future, the role of his disciples and former officials will gradually become apparent.

Objectively speaking, Li Ying and Yuan Shao are not the same kind of people at all.

Li Ying has an arrogant personality and is not good at communicating with others. This is not so important when fighting against Xianbei and the rioting Qiang people at the border. He only needs to defeat them with his fists.

But when the area under his jurisdiction came to Luoyang City, Li Ying's character would often cause him to be unpopular with others, so that his official career was not very smooth.

Being able to climb all the way up depends entirely on his proud reputation.

The reputation that has been accumulated for countless years is always unfavorable when facing scholars and nobles. Scholars always care about their own reputation, and the aristocratic families or powerful people behind them also need reputation to maintain.

But, eunuch.

They don't know what fame is.

from their perspective.

This kind of behavior in which some people were willing to sacrifice their lives for a glimmer of fame is completely cost-effective.

Eunuchs pursue the ultimate price/performance ratio.

If they can spend a penny less, they won't say a word more.

Fame?

It is nothing more than a prison lock to cover oneself. This was clearly demonstrated during the first disaster of party imprisonment.

Yuan Shao has also been pursuing the ultimate fame, so as to achieve the need to recruit good ministers and powerful generals.

But he doesn't choose to indulge in it blindly. He knows how to change, or it can be said to be flexible.

Just like keeping filial piety to one's mother.

Or comment on the first day of the month.

Another example is to worship Li Ying as his teacher.

All of Yuan Shao's actions can actually be regarded as purposeful actions, but what he did happened to be in line with what the contemporary scholars are eager to pursue.

He relied on his reputation and relatively kind personality to get all the way to where he is now.

In fact, the role played by the family can only be regarded as a push, but it cannot play the role of a needle in the sea.

He also understands.

I am just an outcast who may be pushed to the forefront at any moment.

It may be that the Yuan's Building is about to collapse.

Maybe it was when Yuan Shao blocked the progress of his direct lineage.

Or it could be Yuan Shao's various behaviors that are not conducive to the development of the Yuan family.

Because of this, Yuan Shao cherishes his time very much and strives to strengthen himself every minute and every second.Not relying on the family also means that he is not bound by the family and can freely and boldly make any decision he thinks is appropriate.

In this era, few people would choose to give up their family's support.

The resources Yuan Shao received were pitiful compared to Yuan Shu and Yuan Ji.

So Yuan Shao wanted to seize any opportunity to make a comeback.

The first chance was that someone else had already made the decision for him without even realizing it.

He suddenly became the legitimate son, although he was still called Yuan Cheng's son by Yuan Shu from time to time as his domestic slave.

The second chance was that when his adoptive mother passed away, he tried his best to honor her mother in the highest standard way he could think of.

This move earned Yuan Shao the praise, praise, and hard-won fame from the scholars in Runan.

The third opportunity was when he took the name of Li Ying in Yingchuan. This man was always known as the famous man in the world, Li Ying and Li Yuanli, who was the first of the eight heroes.

This decision allowed him to get in touch with enough scholars, party members, and celebrities from all over the world, so as to become famous in this circle.

Now, Grand Tutor Chen Fan is about to recruit Li Ying to serve in the government, and teacher Li Ying will have a short-term opportunity to serve the country loyally.

As for Yuan Shao, he can only choose to rely on the identity of this teacher to seek another official position, and try to find ways to help the teacher survive this crisis. He will not be imprisoned as generously as in his previous life, and even his clan members and classmates will be imprisoned. All were exiled to the border.

"Since the teacher has responded to the call, he will return to Luoyang Court in three to five days. I hope that the teacher will put the overall situation first and never use a tough attitude to confront the eunuchs."

Yuan Shao reminded him.

Yuan Shao, who was well aware of his teacher's temperament, was afraid that if his teacher disagreed with him, he would return to the same tough attitude as the former Sili school captain, so he directly chose to enter the eunuch's mansion to catch the criminals.

Although this move could indeed boost the sagging morale of the soldiers, it would also lead to crazy and bloody cruel revenge from the eunuchs.

Yuan Shao still vaguely remembered some of his teacher's experiences. If it weren't for the joint report by Taifu Chen Fan, General Dou Wu and others, and the situation was getting less and less like Emperor Huan imagined, otherwise, Yuan Shao would have every reason to believe it.

How could those group of eunuchs who kill without blinking an eye and commit corruption so easily release the teacher from prison?

"Since we have received the favor of the imperial court, we should root out the traitors and eradicate evil deeds. How can we give up with the eunuchs?"

Yuan Shao looked helpless and frowned tightly.

That's fine, teacher, but he still can't restrain his attitude towards eunuchs. When the eunuch's name is mentioned, the teacher wants to eat his skin and swallow his bones.

"Teacher has been on the battlefield for many years, so he doesn't know the art of detours, or he may be planning secretly."

"Show the enemy weakness, seize the fleeting opportunity, and then use thunderous means to win victory."

"Isn't this what the teacher always taught me? Although the eunuchs are now weak, their fundamentals have not been damaged at all. Now the Taifu and the general are just relying on the emperor who has just ascended the throne. They are still young and cannot be in charge or hold the imperial power. That’s all.”

Yuan Shao persuaded him earnestly.

But Li Ying suddenly smiled, and then looked at Yuan Shao with a sincere face, feeling very happy in his heart.

This student, whom he was proud of, studied classics all day long, and clearly understood strategies and tactics. He often used sandboxes to simulate the ever-changing situations on the battlefield, and often made plots.

Not only in terms of personality and conduct, Yuan Shao also liked what he did. He was neither arrogant nor impetuous. He did not focus on victory or defeat in the moment, but only ended with one blow that decided the world.

With students like this, even if I am thrown into prison, what will happen if I am tortured several times.

Yuan Shao is here.

The inheritance of classics will not be cut off.
