Xuande

Chapter 53 Could it be that I just watched Yuan Shao step on my head?
Yuan Shao knew the meaning of Liu Bei's greeting letter in public.

This is not only Liu Bei's loyalty, but also a question Liu Bei asked him.

Liu Bei is not a protégé of the Yuan family or an old official, and the host is still his own father-in-law. He is a free man in politics. He follows him because he is optimistic about his prospects.

And he also took a fancy to Liu Bei's talent and the power behind him.

This is a two-way selection process, Liu Bei has the right and qualification to ask questions, and Yuan Shao needs to be the answerer.

He needs to tell Liu Bei and other bystanders.

Follow me, there is meat to eat.

So Yuan Shao personally took the invitation to Yuan Shu's residence, ignored Yuan Shu's concierge's dissuasion, and went straight into Yuan Shu's mansion, making Yuan Shu who was drinking and having fun with his concubine very unhappy.

"What are you doing here?"

Yuan Shu was dressed in ordinary clothes and looked at Yuan Shao angrily.

Yuan Shao didn't care about his indifferent attitude, and directly threw his invitation on the table.

"Liu Xuande is my doorman and an indispensable and important help to me. You have crossed the line."

Yuan Shu was stunned for a moment, looking at the invitation, his complexion suddenly darkened.

"You did it?"

"Xuande's heart is for me, so how can you change it? I was the one who invited him first, I was the one who got to know him first, and I was the one who got close to him first. Now that he has made achievements, are you interested in him? It's late, it's really late."

Yuan Shao sneered coldly: "Outside, you and I are still brothers in the final analysis, don't cause outsiders to think that you and I are brothers, otherwise it will not be good for Yuan."

Yuan Shu's face was dark, and he looked at Yuan Shao angrily.

"I'm the son of a concubine! It's not up to you, a concubine, to teach me a lesson!"

"Second son."

Yuan Shao sneered and said: "And I am older than you, I am your elder brother, and my father's only heir. I am also the son of the son, so don't use my status as the son of the son to oppress me."

Yuan Shu was annoyed for a while.

"Liu Xuande is not your former student, why can't I invite him to do things for me? If you do it first, I can't do it later? Which rule forbids me to do this?"

Yuan Shao dismissed Yuan Shu's words, he was too lazy to argue with Yuan Shu.

He needed to let Yuan Shu know that Liu Bei was his indispensable and important assistant, and Yuan Shu could not get involved with him, otherwise he would be openly opposing him.

This is very critical, and it involves the principles of the Yuan family's internal struggle.

He said coldly: "If that's the case, I'll pretend I didn't hear it. It's fine if you say it in private, but on the surface, you don't want to do it, or you will make others laugh at my internal discord and fierce internal fighting in the Yuan family. Do you think Uncle will be very angry if Yuan's reputation is ruined?"

Yuan Shu was out of breath.

"you……"

"You and I are the children of the Yuan family. The Yuan family has the most prestige. Under the prestige, you and I are the foils. Don't tarnish the family's prestige! You are a ghost on the road!"

"Yuan Shao!"

Yuan Shu was furious, stepped forward, glared at Yuan Shao, and growled, "Remember your status as a concubine! Don't think that you are a concubine if you are adopted! Don't use your family's reputation to pressure me! I can do the same thing you can do! You Don't be too self-righteous, or I will never make it easier for you!"

"Whatever you want, but don't forget, in public, remember to call me brother, don't ruin the reputation of the family brothers and sisters!"

Yuan Shao sneered, turned around and left, leaving Yuan Shu on the spot distraught.

Although he was angry, although he really wanted to beat Yuan Shao up to make himself more comfortable, Yuan Shu knew that he couldn't do it, at least he couldn't do it publicly.

Otherwise, it would be to let outsiders see Yuan's jokes and damage Yuan's reputation.

This is very serious for the Yuan family, which is already in a very delicate situation during the disaster of party imprisonment.

Once the incident happened, the elders in the clan would never make it easier for themselves.

It may even affect his ranking among the family heirs.

After Yuan Shao left, Yuan Shu was full of anger and didn't know where to vent it, so he could only vent it on his concubine.

After venting the evil fire, Yuan Shu found Yang Hong who advised him, and threw the invitation in front of him.

"This invitation was given to me by Yuan Shao."

Yang Hong was taken aback for a moment, then he was startled. Looking at Yuan Shu's face, he was obviously annoyed.

"Gaolu, I miscalculated. I didn't expect Yuan Benchu ​​to value Liu Bei so much."

"The more he attaches importance to it, the more it proves that Liu Bei is really talented. If such a person can advise me, do I still need to worry that I won't be able to overwhelm Yuan Shao?!"

Yuan Shu's anger was high, his face was full of displeasure, and he punched the case: "A mere bastard, how dare you show your prestige in front of me! If you don't teach him a lesson, he won't know what dignity is!"

Yang Hong felt that Yuan Shu was a bit out of control, so he quickly dissuaded him.

"Gaolu, at this moment, you must not openly confront Yuan Shao. This is absolutely unacceptable to the Yuan family. If you do this, Yuan Gong will definitely be very angry."

The Yuan Gong in Yang Hong's mouth is naturally Yuan Kai, the uncle of the three brothers Yuan Ji, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, who is now the talker of the Yuan family after Yuan Feng's death.

Yuan Shu, who was in charge of the Yuan family's foundation and held a high position, would not dare to disobey him. For the majestic Yuan Kai, Yuan Shu couldn't raise his spirits at all.

"Don't always press me with uncle."

He could only reprimand Yang Hong sternly.

Of course, Yang Hong was very discerning and submissive, and apologized to Yuan Shu, but he also pointed out the fact that the Yuan brothers could not openly break up.

Regarding this fact, Yuan Shu was very helpless, but also hated it very much.

"Are you just watching Yuan Shao step on my head?"

"Currently, there is no better way."

Yang Hong is not a genius who is full of wit and scheming. Faced with this situation, he can't think of any better way. He can only persuade Yuan Shu to take a step back and use his status as the son-in-law to win over the Yuan family's disciples to stabilize him. basic disk.

"As a concubine, it is difficult for Yuan Benchu ​​to win over the disciples who are more closely related to the Yuan family, and the most important strength of the Yuan family is the Yuan family's disciples. As long as he can win over these people, no matter how much Yuan Benchu ​​struggles, he will not be able to turn the world around."

What Yang Hong said is correct. The Yuan family's political power is mainly reflected in the two groups of students and old officials.

Compared with the group of old officials with more complex composition and more chaotic hearts, the group of disciples is the most important political cornerstone of the Yuan family.

Because of being employed by Yuan's family, they are highly consistent with Yuan's political interests, and their social status is more noble and appealing than the group of old officials with different backgrounds.

To explain it in the terms of cultivating immortals, disciples are equivalent to disciples of Yuan's inner sect, and old officials are disciples of Yuan's outer sect.

Yuan Shu knew about this kind of thing, but compared to Yuan Shao, who was born as the eldest son, he still had a major disadvantage.

In the descendant sequence, he is the second son, not the eldest son. Compared with Yuan Shu, the disciples are more willing to take refuge in Yuan Ji, unless they are not valued by Yuan Ji, they will abandon Yuan Ji and take refuge in Yuan Shu.

This made Yuan Shu feel that he was the backup of Yuan's disciples, and he was very upset, so he wanted to fight Yuan Shao everywhere.

I dare not fight Yuan Ji against him.

But now he is not only suppressed by Yuan Ji, but also suppressed by Yuan Shao. One can imagine the depression in his heart.

Yuan Shu's distress is not clear to Yuan Shao, and he doesn't want to be clear, because he never regards Yuan Shu as one of his own. Whether Yuan Shu's life is good or bad has nothing to do with him. His reputation is enough.

As a bastard, Yuan Shao took every step very carefully.

He was afraid that something might happen that would affect the reputation he had accumulated so hard, that's why when he returned to his hometown, he was hesitant to comment on Mrs. Xu, and he didn't dare to let Mrs. Xu know about his popular brand, so as to avoid being criticized badly by them.

From this point of view, the history of Yuan Shao as a concubine is actually full of difficulties. Compared with Yuan Shu who played gg in Tianhu's opening game, Yuan Shao is undoubtedly better.

It's just that Yuan Shao has obvious advantages as well as obvious disadvantages.

He is a top-level publicist, but also an extremely bad HR, and even a general manager who lacks management skills.

Liu Bei has already seen this.
