Xuande

Chapter 37 On Beauty

Liu Bei at this moment is undoubtedly a member of the scholars.

But if he had any trouble with the eunuch, and the eunuch wanted to hit him, he would never care whether he studied ancient Chinese classics or modern Chinese classics.

Lu Zhi is the leader of the ancient literature school, but the ancient literature school as a whole is quite inferior in court politics.

Cai Yong, the leader of the ancient literature school, is very famous, but because someone in his family offended the eunuch, he was persecuted and had to leave Luoyang to avoid the river and sea, and fled to Jiangdong for refuge. So far, he has been hiding for several years.

According to Liu Bei's memory, Cai Yong could not return to Luoyang to become an official again until Dong Zhuo was in power after the power of eunuchs and relatives were wiped out in the Luoyang coup.

It can be seen from this that once the power of eunuchs becomes powerful, at least as far as the ancient literature school itself is concerned, it is impossible to provide effective political help for famous figures in its own school.

Survival is of course no problem, but political life is also directly reduced to zero, and political ambitions have also come to naught.

Cai Yong and Liu Bei are well acquainted, and he has a strong literati atmosphere. Compared with being an administrative official, he is more suitable to be a literary artist, engaged in academics and art.

But Liu Bei can't do it. Liu Bei is not an artist and writer. He wants to be a politician, a military strategist, or even a conspirator.

He could not afford to leave Luoyang, the center of the political arena.

He knew very well that at this stage, once he was targeted by the eunuchs, Lu Zhi would not be able to provide Liu Bei with any effective protection, at most he would help him escape.

People like Yuan Shao and Cao Cao are different.

The political power represented by Yuan Shao is at least not afraid of eunuchs.

Cao Cao was more straightforward. After he was an eunuch, offending eunuchs was as common as eating and drinking. He was always on the verge of death.

Although the narrow-minded Liu secretly hated Cao Aman, he thought that if he could gain some political security in the future by making friends with Cao Aman, then it would not be unreasonable to forgive Cao Aman.

Ah!
It all depends on Cao Aman's performance after that!
The two chatted happily in the car all the way, and after talking, they arrived at Yuan Shao's mansion.

Yuan Shao is not an official now, but lives in seclusion in Luoyang.

Living in seclusion in Luoyang sounds funny, but for hermits, there has always been a saying "big hermit hides in the city", so many scholars also take this opportunity to "live in seclusion" in prosperous areas, so as not to suffer in the deep mountains and old forests suffer.

Really hypocritical.

By doing this, Yuan Shao is obviously flaunting that he is also a successful and powerful hermit. Even if he lives in seclusion in Luoyang, he can still achieve his goal of being a hermit.

Take care of this.

Of course, living in seclusion is a seclusion, and Yuan Shao didn't miss any of the things he should eat, drink, and play, and neither did his social activities, but they were not so open.

Entering Yuan Shao's mansion, Liu Bei felt that if he could live in such a place, it would not be a problem to live in seclusion for ten years.

How can it be so magnificent?
Compared with Yuan Shao's secluded mansion, his own home is like an ant seeing an elephant. The gap between the masters of the new school of ancient Chinese classics and the children of the old family of modern classics is vividly reflected in this aspect.

And when he saw Yuan Shao, he immediately understood why some people would say that Cao Cao's defeat of Yuan Shao was an absolute counterattack.

Although Cao Cao is not a poor boy, Cao Cao's family background is indeed very different from Yuan Shao's. In other words, with Yuan Shao's background, people around him don't look at Cao Cao as a follower, but as a fart insect attitude.

Just kidding, the fourth generation of the Yuan family and the three princes have the Zhong surname in the world, and the disciples and former officials are all over the world.

You Cao Mengde's eunuch family background, the turbid flow in the turbid flow, isn't it just a fart in the eyes of others?
But just like that, Cao Cao, who was a farting bug, overturned the noble Yuan Shao and won the final victory.

An absolute counterattack.

The appearance of these two people on the same stage gave Liu Bei a more intuitive feeling that Yuan Shao is much taller and more handsome than Cao Cao.

In the world where people are judged by their appearance, Yuan Shao's appearance and posture can reach at least [-] points out of [-]. He is tall and straight, with sword eyebrows and star eyes, fair skin, and can be called handsome.

Cao Cao, on the other hand, was quite short, and his face was just passable. He would not be sorry for the world, and at best he was a passing grade.

Even if the referee is a member of Cao Cao's family, it is absolutely impossible to have the cheek to give Cao Cao a score of more than 69 points, [-] is the top of the sky.

Liu Bei was already able to eat enough food and even eat meat when he grew his body, so he didn't delay his growth. Now he is eight feet tall and has a good appearance. He can barely be regarded as a handsome man in the late Han Dynasty.

But facing Yuan Shao, Liu Bei had to admit that Yuan Shao could indeed overwhelm him in appearance.

In terms of beauty, he, Liu, is indeed no match for Yuan Shao.

Hi!

Lost!

Seeing the heaven chasing Yuan Shao who was being fed, Liu felt a sense of frustration in his heart.

The inexplicable frustration of the customer is really annoying!

Yuan Shao didn't know about Liu Bei's mental activities, and Yuan Shao probably didn't care about these things.

"Hahahahahaha! Xuande! Xuande! I have heard about the great name for a long time, but I have not seen him. Today, I can finally see Xuande's face! Hahahahahaha!"

Before the person arrived, the bold voice arrived first.

Yuan Shao walked towards Liu Bei quickly, walked in front of Liu Bei, straightened his clothes, and saluted him to show respect.

Liu Bei quickly returned the gift.

Taking a closer look, Liu Bei feels that Yuan Shao looks about 30 years old. Although his skin is fair and handsome, he is not feminine. Although his figure does not have the big waist and waist of a general, he is definitely strong.

And to be honest, with his family background of four generations and three fathers, being able to show respect to Liu Bei's little Ling Shiru shows that this person is quite tolerant.

Generally speaking, such aristocrats with noble backgrounds in the traditional Jinwen Confucian classics always have a stinky problem. They tend to look down on others and feel that Lao Tzu is the best in the world.

But Yuan Shao is really not like this.

Maybe it's because of his bastard's background and some experiences in his childhood that Yuan Shao didn't have such a bad problem.

"Yuan Jun's misrepresentation, it's just a little bit of bad name."

"The spring breeze in February is like scissors, and the spring scenery in the garden can't be closed... Tsk tsk tsk, I find these poems extremely delicate every time I read them. , but why can’t you write such a poem?”

Yuan Shao sighed: "After much deliberation, there is only one conclusion, that is, one's ability is limited, one can advance in learning, but one cannot get out. I am really ashamed!"

No matter how much Liu Bei had thought before, Liu Bei had to give relative feedback at this moment when the other party gave him face and praised him so much.

"Poetry and prose are nothing more than small ways, and they are just entertainment after drinking. They are of no great use. The Yuan family has four generations and three princes, and Mr. Yuan has a noble character. I am very grateful for being a corporal here."

After finishing speaking, Liu Bei bowed deeply.

Yuan Shao was very satisfied, thinking that his goal had been achieved, looked at Cao Cao, Cao Cao also nodded with a smile.

So Yuan Shao stepped forward to help Liu Bei, took him by the hand, brought him into the living room, invited him to a seat himself, and then ordered people to serve good wine and food, singing and dancing music, accompanied by Cao Cao, and the three of them feasted and sang. So happy.

Liu Bei originally thought that Yuan Shao would tell his intentions when the banquet was over, but until the banquet was over, Yuan Shao personally sent Liu Bei out without mentioning the disaster of the party. Then call Liu Bei to drink and have fun.

Isn't it time?

Liu Bei pretended that he had drunk too much and was not sober, smiled drunkenly, thanked Yuan Shao for his hospitality, and then staggered into the carriage home.

After entering the carriage, Liu Bei put away the disguise just now, thinking about Yuan Shao's reception this time, he felt that this should be only the first time, and if Yuan Shao had thoughts about himself in the future, there would definitely be a second or third time.

Then, it was almost time to pull myself into the group.

It was such an interesting experience.
