I am not Yuan Shu
Chapter 130 Yuan She is on fire
Chapter 130 Yuan She is on fire
Yuan She's return brought some uncertainties to this struggle.
Because neither the eunuchs nor the Yuan family had any real intention of tearing each other apart, nor did they have the courage to do so. Both sides knew very well that the other had the ability to destroy them, so they were wary of each other and did not dare to act recklessly.
After the return of Yuan She, who had long served as a lubricant, this struggle seemed to see the dawn of a complete end.
Yuan She came back with a lot of resentment.
When he was still in Yingchuan, he received first-hand information from Chunyu Deng and Yuan Wei.
After learning what happened in Luoyang, he was surprised and delighted by Yuan Shu, the Yuan family prodigy who suddenly emerged. At the same time, he felt helpless about the eunuchs' operation that ended up with a loss.
After all, he is a member of the Yuan family and also a eunuch. His dual identities mean that he does not want the two to break down completely. The previous balance was the best, but neither of them is easy to deal with.
Yuan secretly stole things to protect his party members, and the eunuchs also secretly looked for opportunities to weaken Yuan.
You take turns, I take turns, which makes Yuan She, the middleman, feel helpless.
No matter how smooth the lubricant is, it can’t resist your hard friction!
Now that he had been away from Luoyang for a month, Yuan and the eunuchs were just about to start a real fight.
In other words, Yuan Shu emerged as a dark horse, intimidated Luoyang with his extremely strong hard power, and controlled the situation with great restraint, preventing the situation from collapsing. Yuan She was very pleased about this.
Overall, both the Yuan family and the eunuchs were wrong in this matter, but the eunuchs obviously made more mistakes.
Don’t you understand the principle of forgiving others when you can?
You old guys are not as good as a teenager!
In particular, Yuan She was furious when he learned that Chunyu Deng, his close friend, had personally come to Yuan's house to deceive him, which seriously undermined Yuan's trust in the eunuchs and even in himself.
He directly scolded the envoy sent by Chunyu Deng and asked the envoy to go back and tell Chunyu Deng that he, Yuan She, had severed ties with Chunyu Deng from then on and would no longer interfere in any of Chunyu Deng's affairs. What happened to Chunyu Deng, whether he lived or died, had nothing to do with Yuan She!
Even Yuan She began to consider whether to kill Chunyu Deng to restore his alliance with the Yuan family.
As for the envoy sent by Yuan Wei, Yuan She explained in a kind way, poured out his grievances, and tried his best to appease Yuan Wei. He said that once he returned to Luoyang, he would take action to rectify the situation and see how to make up for Yuan's losses.
A group of powerful eunuchs and a group of famous scholars in the official school, which were in a sense united, were defeated by a young man. After the disastrous defeat, Yuan Shu gained great authority in Luoyang.
At this point, the eunuchs were finally at a loss and thought of Yuan She, hoping that Yuan She's return would bring them some hope.
But what magic medicine does Yuan She have to reverse the current unfavorable situation?
What's more, after Yuan She returned, he learned that the eunuchs pretended to allow Yuan Shu to serve as the emperor's tutor, but actually did not allow him to enter the palace. This operation made Yuan She exclaim that it was stupid.
"Either don't give him anything, or if you do give him something, then give him something that's practical! Giving him something but not letting him enter the palace is not only embarrassing, but will also anger the Yuan family even more. How stupid! Stupid!"
He scolded Zhang Rang, the military strategist who proposed the strategy, harshly.
Zhang Rang was so angry that he almost wanted to duel with Yuan She.
"First, I didn't bring this up, and second, I didn't make the decision. I just put forward my own idea, and everyone discussed it and made the decision together. How can it be my fault? Even if you want to scold, you should scold everyone together. Why are you scolding me alone?!"
Zhang Rang rolled up his sleeves and was ready to have a real PK with Yuan She. Yuan She looked at the relatively younger and slightly strong body of Zhang Rang and did not dare to fight with Zhang Rang on the spot, but he did not lose in momentum.
Not only did he scold Zhang Rang, he also tied Duan Gui, Cao Jie, Wang Fu and others together and scolded them one by one. His saliva sprayed all over the ground and he almost spit out his tongue.
The eunuchs also knew that Yuan She had a lot of resentment in his heart. Although they were unhappy about being scolded, Yuan She was the only one who could do something about the current situation. If being scolded could bring about a smooth resolution of the situation, it would be worth it.
So even Cao Jie and Wang Fu, who had very bad tempers, held back and let Yuan She scold them.
When Yuan She finally got enough of his scolding, he sat down on the cushion, drank a glass of honey water, took a breath, and calmed himself.
"I told you, if you expect me to convince the Yuan family not to continue targeting you, forget it! They deceived them, put them on the fire, and even dragged their ancestors out to scold them. They have shown the greatest restraint by not killing anyone!
What's more, you have promised him to be a tutor, but you don't allow him to enter the palace. Yuan Shu is a young man, a young man with a hot temper. It's rare that he can hold back and not take action. What else do you want?"
Cao Jie couldn't sit still anymore and spoke with an unhappy look on his face.
"Yuan She, you've scolded me, and we've tolerated it. Now it's time for you to make a decision. Can you please stop complaining? Make a decision!"
Upon hearing this, Yuan She could not help but sneer.
"I have no idea. I've already told you that I didn't allow you to do this stupid thing before, but you didn't want to and drove me away. Now you've outsmarted me and asked me to come back to clean up your mess. Who do you think I am? A deity from heaven?"
Cao Jie was even more unhappy.
"If you really don't want us to do this, you could have sent someone to inform the Yuan family and remind them. Why don't you do it and blame us for not doing a good enough job? Don't forget who started this matter in the first place? It was the Yuan family! They were the first to protect the party members and go against the court's policies!"
"Snitch? Let me snitch? If I had snitched, would you have let me live to this day? How can you say that?" Yuan She glared at Cao Ji and cursed, "There are only a few people in Maoling. What difference does it make whether they are alive or dead? Haven't we killed enough people? Haven't we driven away enough traitors? Haven't we done enough to destroy families and exterminate descendants? Are there only a few people missing? Do we have to kill them?"
As he said this, he turned the gun around and pointed it at Duan Gui.
"Duan Gui! Don't you think so? As for Zhang Jian, the death of Hou Lan is not enough, and you still want to pursue him? You must kill him? If he doesn't die, none of us can live, right? To kill Zhang Jian, you have to offend the entire Yuan family, what are you doing! Are you crazy?"
Yuan She once again got close to the opponent and started to scold the group of people.
Cao Jieqi's face turned red, but he really didn't know how to refute.
As for Duan Gui, his injury from last time had not healed yet. When he was about to refute, he accidentally touched the old wound. He was in so much pain that his teeth were gnashing and he couldn't utter a word. He was probably disabled.
As for the other eunuchs, they all fell silent and dared not say anything.
Yuan She cursed for a long time. He had used up all the curse words he could think of in this era. He was so exhausted that he sat down and didn't move.
At this time, Wang Fu spoke.
"Have you scolded me enough? Can you tell me a solution? Although your last name is Yuan, you are also a eunuch. Without the support of people like us and the momentum we have created, the Yuan family will not take you seriously. This is the absolute truth. Please don't think I am lying to you."
Yuan She glanced at Wang Fu, then looked away.
After a brief silence, Yuan She spoke.
“I know you don’t dare let the emperor come into contact with Yuan Shu, for fear that the emperor will be persuaded by Yuan Shu to believe in his philosophy, so I won’t say anything else. I’ll just see what you can come up with.
Anyway, the Yuan family is furious this time, and the key is that they won the battle, and their prestige has soared. If you don't want Yuan Shu's son to have contact with the emperor, you have to give the Yuan family something else as a trophy."
"Trophy?"
Cao Jie glared at him and said angrily: "You said that as if we were defeated!"
"We didn't lose? Then what are we doing here now? Why did you call me back?"
Yuan She gave Cao Jie a cold look, which made Cao Jie furious.
Just as he was about to open his mouth to retort, he was stopped by Wang Fu.
"What Yuan Changshi said makes sense. So what kind of spoils do you think we should give to the Yuan family so that they will be satisfied?"
Yuan She was silent for a while and sighed.
"As for the positions of the Three Dukes, let's make some arrangements and give them to Sikong and Situ together. Let Yuan Wei and Yuan Feng ascend to the positions of the Three Dukes together. What we decided before can be done now."
Wang Fu said nothing.
Cao Jie didn't say anything either.
They suddenly remembered that not long ago, they had discussed among themselves to allow Yuan Wei and Yuan Feng to ascend to the positions of the Three Dukes together.
The two sons of the Yuan family ascended to the positions of the Three Dukes together to share the firepower for them. They could then take advantage of the situation to place their own people in the positions of the Three Dukes, thereby increasing the political power of the eunuchs to fight against the deeply rooted power of the scholar-officials.
On the one hand, they satisfied Yuan's desire for the position of one of the Three Dukes, and on the other hand, they allowed Yuan to share the firepower for them so that their political intentions would not be too obviously exposed to the world, thus achieving a kind of vulgar development.
When they proposed this idea internally, most people supported it, believing it was a good strategy that killed two birds with one stone.
But after Duan Gui proposed the idea of destroying the Yuan family, the eunuchs came up with a new plan.
First, severely betray the Yuan family, let them be excluded by the scholars, get close to the eunuchs, and become the eunuchs' running dogs, and then give the positions of the Three Dukes to the Yuan family.
This way, they gave Yuan a sweet reward after giving him a blow, and made him serve the interests of the eunuchs obediently.
Originally, this was indeed a good strategy. If it was successfully implemented, Yuan might really become a loyal lackey of the eunuchs.
As a result, Yuan Shu turned the situation around with his own words, directly disrupting the eunuchs' plans, and all the prerequisites disappeared.
Giving it to the Three Dukes at this time would be more like surrender.
