Waves at the end of Han Dynasty

Chapter 74
Luoyang, the capital of the empire, has gradually dissipated the haze of factional struggles in the imperial court.

Because the "melon people" had "new melons" again, they quickly put the "old melons" behind them, not to mention that the new "melons" were very sweet.

The imperial court posted notices everywhere, to auction off half of the confiscated land of the criminal gentry in Bingzhou!
This is the first time a farmer enters the imperial city!

"What does this auction mean, old Tiantou, do you know?"

A notice was also pasted opposite a restaurant in the city, and city officials were arranged to read it out from time to time, and the "melon people" in the restaurant began to discuss enthusiastically.

"It seems to be a bit of an impression. Who said it last time?"

"Tch, if someone said it, someone would still ask you? If you don't know, you don't know, so why put on an air."

"This strategy is clever, very clever!"

The two people on this side were still arguing, and a man dressed like a scholar on the other side sighed loudly.

"I don't know what Xiongtai just said, but do you know the meaning of 'auction'?"

As soon as the words came out, people around immediately gathered around, like zombies smelling fresh flesh
"This was created by the rebellious minister Ouyang in the past, with the meaning of open competition and the highest price wins. It's just that, um..., under the current competition of various families in Italy, the Wang family, hehe, no one will pay attention to it from now on. carry on”

----

As soon as the notice came out, similar melon-eating feasts appeared everywhere in Luoyang, but most of the interpretations in the market were extremely simple, and it was the major gentry who really understood the meaning.

The layman looks at the excitement and the insider looks at the doorway.

Just like Yuan Shao at this time, the government situation has changed unexpectedly recently, Yuan Shao has been inquiring from all sides, and is active in various parts of the Beijing circle, so it is naturally impossible not to be unaware of this kind of news.

Yuan Shao was a well-known figure in the "Beijing circle" of the Han Dynasty. When he needed it, he could not only gather information from all parties, but also contact the two parties involved to mediate relations, and even had his own close circle and think tank to interpret.

Moreover, the influence and energy of Yuan Shao's circle is not small. If Chen Wentian knew about it, he would immediately offer him his knees, because many of them are heroes in another time and space.

For example, Liu Biao, the eight steeds who dominated Jingxiang in another time and space, Zhang Miao, the governor of Yanzhou, Wang Kuang, the prefect of Hanoi, Bao Xin, Wu Kuang, the warlord, and celebrities He Yong, Xu You, Pang Ji, Kuai in another time and space. Yue, Cai Mao, Luoyang Ling Zhouyi and others can be said to have had a great influence.

Even the hero Cao Cao was in another time and space, but when Yuan Shao was about to win him over in this time and space, Cao Cao uncharacteristically moved his family back to his hometown, which also surprised Yuan Shao.

However, his purpose has always been to find opportunities to escape from the control of the family. He has not participated too deeply in the party struggle between the eunuchs and the Qingliu, and has always been from the perspective of a bystander.

The starting point is different, and the perspective of viewing events is naturally different.

However, Yuan Shao's practice of not taking responsibility and only seeking benefits also aroused the dissatisfaction of his subordinates. Yesterday Luoyang ordered Zhou Yi to go to Yuan Shao's mansion, angrily and then walked away!

After being reprimanded by his friends, Yuan Shao was also very embarrassed, but he didn't dare to attack. After all, although Zhou Yi was not a big official, his background was also very strong. Son Zhou Yu can not mention it for the time being
Although Zhou Yi himself is a county magistrate, he is in charge of the capital city. The importance of the mayor of the capital to people in the capital circle is naturally extraordinary.

Of course, it is also because the two have a very good personal relationship, and they have always been outspoken when they communicate.

So after Yuan Shao was sprayed, he still had to be patient and try hard to persuade him, but no matter what he said, he couldn't keep him in the end.
Zhou Yi's attitude and views are very clear. Yuan Shao's recent behavior made him feel contemptuous. He made friends with Yuan Shao because he admired the demeanor of Yuan's crown family and the excellent style of governing the area in Runan, but now he keeps to break his cognition.

Many people in Yuan Shao's circle are the sons of great nobles. At the beginning of Yuan Shao's establishment, it was also in the name of helping the Han Dynasty. Now the eunuchs are still so rampant to harm the country and the people, but Yuan Shao is watching from the sidelines.
You must know that Wang Yun, the head of the Bingzhou gentry who was targeted this time, was also one of them.

So what Zhou Yi said was right, and Yuan Shao was very depressed about it at first, but after calming down and thinking carefully, he gradually came to some understanding.

Yuan Shao began to reflect on whether he had always been too obsessed, whether it was because of the small achievements of the Suiyang county magistrate that he was too proud, which led to a great resistance to the arrangement of the clan later, and also led to his extreme thinking all these years , always wanting to go out and stand on my own
He remembered his childhood dream of leading famous officials and good generals to help the great Han community. Once upon a time, Yuan Shao in his youth used this as the motivation to move forward and learn. At that time, he believed that noble officials should be the pillars of the country and shoulder the responsibility of prospering the country. Heavy duty!
But I don't know when these all slowly fade in my heart
Maybe because of the injustice in the clan.

Perhaps because of the helplessness of the situation.

Maybe it was because he discovered the problem of the gentry itself.

But should these make you give up your ideals?
After one night, Yuan Shao, who forcibly shut himself up in the room for self-reflection, finally came to his senses.

He felt that he seemed to understand the actions of Xun Shuang, Lu Zhi, Cai Yong and others. Although Yuan Shao still did not approve of their way of doing things, he thought that the current effect of Mianjun would not be very good, and he was even a bit foolish and loyal, but the key was that they were Taking practical actions to save the big man, no matter what the result is, is better than doing nothing and watching a show!

Many people always like to do nothing for themselves after something happens, but they have to stand on a moral high ground and comment on what is wrong or that is wrong with others, and they also have a sense of superiority, assuming that if the person involved is themselves, what will happen, Yuan Shao was like this before .

However, now that he was woken up by his friend scolding him, Yuan Shao, who hadn't slept all night, felt refreshed!
He thought that Wang Yun could not be rescued, but the eunuchs must be eradicated, and the emperor must return to their virtuous scholar-bureaucrats to assist them, so that the great man can be rejuvenated!
"A certain Yuan Ben was born with a celebrity from the crown family, but he has not been able to make good use of it. Now, fortunately, a good friend persuaded Fang to realize the Tao. He should take the country and the common people into consideration, lead my doctor's ambition, and devote himself to assisting the community!"

Before the writing desk, Yuan Shao, after enlightenment, wrote bold words with a pen.

"Come here, take my invitation card and send it to the Xunfu, and say that Yuan Benchu ​​has something to ask for an interview tomorrow."

Immediately, he summoned his servants to give orders.

Yuan Shao had already judged the current situation. He believed that the resistance of the Wang family and many noble families in Bingzhou was about to begin.

Even if the eunuchs auction off the scrapped land, it may be considered a pretty good countermeasure. It can not only please the few gentry who are greedy for small profits, but also divide the gentry camp, but this is far from enough to solve the problem.

Although the gentry of the Wang family in Taiyuan has been passive for a while, it is not something that can be wiped out by the lackeys of the eunuchs. At least as the spokesperson of the Yuan family in Beijing, Yuan Shao himself knows a few of the Wang family's backers, let alone those Hidden darker dark sub.

So the key now is to contact the Xun family. Yuan Shao heard that they have obtained the secret consent of the emperor, and they are about to organize the royalists to take power on the stage.

If the Xun family is willing to unite their forces and personnel in the capital to do something truly useful to the community, then they will have no regrets in the future.

Of course, doing this is against the layout of the patriarch Yuan Kai, but Yuan Shao doesn't want to be the spokesperson of the Yuan family anymore, he just wants to be himself, a true loyal man of the big man!

In this way, it may be able to achieve the result I have wanted for many years.
At that time, Yuan Shao will take the lead in occupying the righteousness as the crown clan, and the gentry all over the world will inevitably respond. Even if Yuan Wei is the head of the family, he will not be able to stop it at that time, and even the methods used to threaten Yuan Shao will not work.

Yuan Kai hinted to him back then that if he was disobedient, the Yuan clan would consider removing him from the genealogy. This is a consistent method within the management of the gentry.

But this time is now the other time, if Yuan Kai dares to do this this time, wouldn't it mean that Yuan's century-old loyalty sign will be ignored?

However, these are only based on the premise of Yuan Shao's righteousness. If Yuan Shao fails this time, he will naturally have no chance to turn around, so he needs to find someone to discuss it.

"Come here, go and inform Liu Jingsheng, He Boqiu, Xu Ziyuan, Pang Yuantu, Kuai Yidu to meet at the mansion in Xushi"
