Seeing the anxious expressions on Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu's faces, Yuan Wei closed his eyes and sighed, shaking his head in depression.
"The situation has changed. It is different from the past. Now Zheng Xuan is resigning and leaving Luoyang. After he leaves, the next leader of the Ancient Literature School will be Lu Zhi.
At present, Lu Zhi has been recognized, and I, the Yuan family, are about to become a family that obeys Lu Zhi's orders. Do you think this kind of thing is acceptable? "
Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu looked at each other with a tacit understanding, and then looked at Yuan Wei together without speaking.
Obviously, this matter is indeed a bit difficult for the Yuan family to accept.
The fourth and third prince of the Yuan family, with the surname of Zhong in the world, has the super bonus of having disciples and former officials all over the world. Taking the initiative to change jobs to help your ancient literature school is already a great honor.
It’s okay to just listen to the orders of a powerful person like Zheng Xuan who is experienced and experienced, but now that Zheng Xuan is leaving, do you want us to follow Lu Zhi’s orders?
Can't stand it.
That was really unbearable.
Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu both thought so.
But what does this have to do with letting them join the army and fight for their lives on the battlefield?
"Then why do we need to go to the battlefield?"
Yuan Shu asked: "With my status as the fourth and third prince of the Yuan family, how can Lu Zhi be able to resist? How can Lu Zhi have such qualifications?"
"Lu Zhi himself is also a Taiwei, and he also records ministerial affairs. His power is not under mine. Even though his power is not as good as mine, he is widely respected in Luoyang City."
Yuan Wei showed an unhappy look on his face and said slowly: "The most important thing is that his disciple, Liu Bei, is now the shepherd and chariot general of Liangzhou. He holds military power and dominates Liangzhou. He is very powerful!
He and Lu Zhi united, one person controlled the political power, and the other controlled the military power. They echoed each other from afar, and their reputations were unparalleled. From what I observed, the reputation of my Yuan family was actually suppressed for a while! "
Yuan Shu turned his head and looked at Yuan Shao.
Yuan Shao pursed his lips, and the palms hidden under his wide sleeves unconsciously clenched into fists.
Yes, the biggest variable in the entire Luoyang City is not Lu Zhi or Zheng Xuan, but...
Liu Bei.
Without him suddenly fighting a glorious victory in the Northern Expedition, the reputations of Lu Zhi and Liu Bei, the masters and disciples, would not have expanded to such an extent that even the Yuan family would have been suppressed.
The so-called county magistrate is not as good as the current manager, and the same principle applies to this matter. The current storm is so strong, a strong wind blows, no matter how long it lasts, when the strong wind blows, people are the most awesome.
No matter how old you are, you have to give up your position to others.
But after all, who could have imagined today?
Liu Bei came to Luoyang City at the age of nineteen, and it has only been seven years since then.
In just seven years, he went from a humble mat weaver and shoe seller to become a Liangzhou shepherd, a chariot and cavalry general, a Marquis of Fan Yang, and an inheritor of Zuo's Spring and Autumn Annals.
He is just a mat weaver and shoe seller from a humble background. If the bit of royal blood flowing through his body can be considered a bonus, then just add it to him. Anyway, apart from that, what else does he have? nor.
But now, he has everything.
Everyone still vaguely remembers that the last person to achieve great things in seven years was called Liu Bang. That man founded the Western Han Dynasty.
He also has an even more impressive descendant who only took three years from raising an army to proclaiming himself emperor, named Liu Xiu. That man founded the Eastern Han Dynasty.
And now, will this awesome luck be passed on to Liu Bei again?
Why are the Liu family so awesome?
Are there heroes from generation to generation?
None of the three people named Yuan expected that at this moment, at this moment, their thoughts were highly consistent, and all three of them thought of the same thing.
Yuan Wei shook his head and put away some sighs and even a trace of undetectable fear of the mysterious existence.
"All in all, Lu Zhi's biggest advantage lies in his military exploits. The military exploits of this pair of masters and apprentices are too strong. Yuan will not only catch up with them, but at least achieve military exploits so that he can seek higher military positions in the future, at least in the future. In Luoyang City, my Yuan family cannot be at a disadvantage!"
Yuan Wei also knew that war cannot be just a matter of words. If you want to achieve military success, you really have to risk your life, and military talent is not something that can be easily obtained.
Naturally, children of the Yuan family like Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu must have been able to learn the art of war and read military books during their education. Apart from anything else, they still possess basic military knowledge.
Now, if you want to take up a military position, you can definitely find a suitable teacher through family connections to do some pre-battle assault and learn more.
Then they can take office, and even find an opportunity to go to the battlefield to practice and come back with some military merit.
This matter was of course risky, so he could not pin his hopes on Yuan Ji, but could only pin his hopes on Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu.
At least if Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu die accidentally, it will not be an irreparable loss to the Yuan family. They are not the eldest sons.
As long as the eldest son Yuan Ji is still there and the Yuan family inheritance is still there, everything will be fine.
Family inheritance is such a harsh and cold thing.
Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu had no choice. Since they enjoyed the glory brought by their family, they must give everything for the family at the critical moment, whether it was reputation or life.
In the next few days, Yuan Wei used his own power to move around and manage things. He once again used his family's eunuch connections and spent a lot of money to finally bribe the greedy eunuchs and get Yuan Shu the position of Tiger Guard and Lieutenant General. .
Yuan Shu was able to take up this position because of his official qualifications and family power. He could command the Huben forbidden soldiers and the main bodyguard, with a rank of two thousand stones. The Yuan family now had a clan member who could control the military power.
In addition, although Yuan Shao looked down on He Jin's humble family background, he had no choice but to accept He Jin's position and family requirements.
He Jin was indeed very happy about Yuan Shao's joining. As soon as Yuan Shao joined the General's Mansion, he held a banquet to invite Yuan Shao. During the dinner, he was very close to Yuan Shao, which made Yuan Shao very uncomfortable.
Why didn't Yuan Shao understand He Jin's little thoughts?
On the one hand, it is the huge reputation of the fourth and third princes of the Yuan family. Responding to He Jin's call was a great reputation enhancement for He Jin.
On the other hand, both families have eunuch backgrounds. This time Yuan Shao responded to the call, and there were also eunuch factors in it. Based on this, He Jin believed that Yuan Shao was trustworthy. At least the interests of the two families did not conflict, so they were particularly close. .
But to Yuan Shao, He Jin is just a country bumpkin. Staying with him will have an impact on his identity. The only thing he has to do is to gain his trust and her favor, then seek military power and complete the family's mission. .
As a general, He Jin was able to control the left and right Yulin armies and controlled a very important armed force in Luoyang City.
Now Yuan Shu has obtained the position of Huben Zhonglang General, at least nominally in control of the Huben Army. As long as Yuan Shao succeeds, the Huben Army and the Yulin Army, two important forces that protect the palace, will be under Yuan's control. Got off.
In this way, the Yuan family will initially have the ability to compete with Lu Zhi.
Yuan Wei's first goal can be achieved.
Yuan Shao was quite helpless about becoming a family pawn, but he couldn't resist. He was quite dissatisfied, but he couldn't resist the family's orders. He also had a pretty good guess about Yuan Wei's thoughts, but what about that? How?
Who makes him a concubine, not the eldest son!
But whether it should be said or not, Yuan Shao was really concerned about seeking power.
The main reason is the resentment and competitiveness in Liu Bei's heart.
