I am not Yuan Shu

Chapter 56 Yuan Shao Burned by the Sun

Chapter 56 Yuan Shao Burned by the Sun

Taking Guo Qi as an example, there are many other weird lazy people and people with bad intentions who also expose their true nature in the heavy and meticulous daily work. They really can't persist, and either quit automatically or are forced to quit.

By the end of March, Yuan Shu had reviewed more than 400 applications for membership and personally expelled 71 members, forcing them to withdraw.

In addition, more than 20 people violated the rules of the Yi Xin Society during work and were forcibly expelled.

Those with serious offenses were sent to the government for trial and imprisonment.

Some of them beat farmers, while others secretly withheld food and clothing and resold them in the county to make a profit.

These situations have occurred before, and Yuan Shu lamented that corruption is indeed a global and historical problem.

No matter what kind of organization it is, no matter how good its original intentions are, as long as it becomes big, such problems are inevitable.

He had no other choice but to further strengthen the power of the Audit Department and let Lu Zhi lead the Audit Department to keep a close watch.

He further promoted the formalization of Yi Xin Hui, and made the rules of Yi Xin Hui more important and deeply rooted in the hearts of the members, and made them pay more attention to the methods of doing things and the regulations.

No one regards Yuan Shu as a boy anymore, and no one regards Yi Xin Hui as a funny conceptual organization anymore.

The organization became more formal and official, and people became noticeably more serious when talking about the Yi Xin Hui.

More and more people want to join Yi Xin Hui, but not many can successfully join. The rules are becoming more and more detailed, and the review conditions are becoming more and more stringent.

But no matter what, as Yuan Shu's reputation grew, his power seemed to inevitably begin to rise as well.

In addition, Yuan Shu has not rested on the academic level.

During these months, Yuan Shu and the famous Guanxi scholar Fa Zhen had eleven written discussions on conceptual issues of "Mencius Interpretation", each of which was open to the public, which was equivalent to a remote debate.

Although the two men never met, their debate was intense and eye-catching.

As Ma's de facto top disciple, Yuan Shu had a heated debate with the old-school celebrities, and it was difficult to tell who was better, with both sides winning and losing.

Finally, Fa Zhen publicly stated in his hometown of Mei County that he was unable to refute Yuan Shu, saying that "the young are to be feared."

He said that he still disagreed with Yuan Shu's interpretation of the scriptures, believing that there was a distortion of Mencius' original intention, but he had no way to refute Yuan Shu's overall logic.

Yuan Shu's ideas are reasonable and can be self-consistent and form a logical loop. Even the methodology proposed based on them can be put into practice.

He had no choice.

Perhaps we can only wait for other talented people to refute it.

Before this, he acknowledged that Yuan Shu, who was able to propose his own academic system, was an emerging and excellent "master of classics". He was very envious of Ma Rong for having a talented disciple and for being able to pass on his academic knowledge.

This was the first time that an academic master with the qualifications, qualifications and reputation gave Yuan Shu the title of "Master of Classics".

For Yuan Shu, this was like a coronation.

At the age of twelve, he officially became a classics teacher recognized by the academic circles of Guanxi in the Han Dynasty.

After he became a senior student, he had actually become a quasi-teacher who could convey his own views to scholars.

The public recognition of people like Fa Zhen further made the public accept the fact that Yuan Shu became a sutra master.

He had his own theoretical system, his own representative works, and his own group of believers. An academic group with Yuan Shu and the School of Conscience as its core was officially formed.

Fa Zhen's public recognition of Yuan Shu made Yuan Shu famous again. His identity as a Confucian scholar was thus established, and no one questioned his academic ability because of his age anymore.

At the same time, no one will despise the study of conscience and "Mencius's Interpretation" anymore.

With Maoling County as the center, scholars in the entire Sanfu area began to take "Mencius Interpretation" seriously and carefully examine Yuan Shu's conscience-enhancing learning and his efforts to help farmers.

As the spring breeze blew and the earth warmed up, the popularity of "Mencius Interpretation" also spread from the Sanfu area to Hongnong and Luoyang.

Scholars in Hongnong and Luoyang were very interested in this matter and began to discuss "Mencius's Interpretation".

Following the trend in Luoyang, the nearby Yingchuan area also began to pay attention to this matter.

As one of the cultural gathering places in the world in the middle and late Eastern Han Dynasty, Yingchuan County gathered the largest number of aristocratic families in the middle and late Eastern Han Dynasty. The large number of aristocratic families also gave birth to a large number of masters of Confucian classics, who paid close attention to every move of the academic community.

Yuan Shu, this rising star, was born in Runan County, which is close to Yingchuan and is also the place where the world's cultural heritage is located. The scholars of Yingchuan and Runan already had a lot of exchanges or in-laws, not to mention the super family like the Runan Yuan family.

Yuan Shu, a core member of the seventh generation, was famous for his various activities in Guanxi. At a young age, he founded his own academic school, annotated the "Mencius", and constructed an academic system with conscience and the unity of knowledge and action as the core, which was officially recognized in Guanxi.

Although the academic core of the Han Empire gradually shifted from Guanxi to Guandong from the Western Han Dynasty to the Eastern Han Dynasty, and the scholars in Guandong gradually began to look down on the scholars in Guanxi, but a broken ship still has three thousand nails, and a lean camel is bigger than a horse. It is really not easy to gain formal recognition in the academic circles of Guanxi.

Scholars such as Ma Rong and Fa Zhen enjoyed great reputation in the entire academic community, and many scholars from Guandong went to visit them to study. Their recognition was not unacceptable to the scholars from Guandong.

What's more, Yuan Shucai was so young, not even an adult, but he had already been recognized as a master of classics. His own academic system had also been initially recognized and had withstood the test of the two great masters.

Isn't this genius?

Each of our families praises our children to the skies, and we all know the truth, but... has your family really produced a genius?
Real genius?
The noble families were collectively shocked and searched everywhere for news about Yuan Shu's deeds, looked for handwritten copies of "Mencius's Interpretation", studied the theories proposed by Yuan Shu, studied "Mencius's Interpretation", and tried every means to find out whether this matter was true.

After some research, they found that this was indeed true.

Yuan Shu does have his own set of things, a self-contained system with rigorous logic and meaningful words. He also has methodology and practical results, and even launched his own spokesperson - Yu Shun.

My goodness, the modern literature school promotes Confucius, the ancient literature school promotes Zhou Gong, and you guys just doubled it up and promote Yu Shun, right?
At present, this school is small in scale and its influence is limited.

However, although the sparrow is small, it has all the necessary facilities. It has everything that an academic group should have. The next step is to promote it outward, expand it, and increase its influence. With this set of combined punches, the world situation will probably change.

With the Yuan family's political connections and resources, plus the true genius of Yuan Shu, it is simply like adding wings to a tiger!

The Yuan family has been powerful for six generations. Will the seventh generation continue to be so powerful?
Even more awesome?
The noble families in Yingchuan County who thought highly of themselves were all very surprised by this.

At the same time, some people felt that Yuan Shu's "Mencius Interpretation" and his philosophy of awakening the conscience were interesting and seemed to be plausible. Although they did not say anything good about Yuan Shu publicly, they did study them in private.

The Xun family, Han family, Zhong family, Lai family, Fang family, Yu family, Fan family and other major noble families in Yingchuan all had members who were interested in Yuan Shu's theories, and they studied and exchanged ideas privately. For a time, it became a fashion for the children of the noble families to talk about "Mencius Interpretation" when they socialized. This news spread to Runan and was known to the Yuan family.

The Yuan family members were both surprised and happy and felt very surprised by this.

After the elders who had been contradicted by Yuan Shu before learned that Yuan Shu's theories had become a popular trend among the Yingchuan gentry, they stopped speaking ill of Yuan Shu and instead began to speak well of him.

They didn't seem to have much opposition to Yuan Shu's constant talk of changing the name. Instead, they said that Yuan Shu had his own ideas, which was a good thing and could bring prosperity to the family.

When Yuan Shu's elder brother Yuan Ji learned about this, he was greatly moved and repeatedly said that his younger brother was far superior to himself in studying. He believed that it would not be himself but his younger brother Yuan Shu who would prosper the family in the future.

Yuan Shao was furious, feeling both envious and jealous.

Upon learning that Yuan Shu had become famous in Guanxi and had achieved great things, he kicked his table to pieces.

He had a bad relationship with Yuan Shu since childhood.

Of course, this is not a subjective factor of Yuan Shu.

When Yuan Feng and Yuan Wei's eldest brother Yuan Cheng died, he had no son. At that time, Yuan Feng's illegitimate son Yuan Shao was born. The family decided to adopt the infant Yuan Shao to Yuan Cheng to carry on the family line.

From the perspective of patriarchal law, Yuan Shao became a poor child who lost his father at birth.

Yuan Feng was of course filled with reluctance and guilt about this, so for nearly six years, Yuan Feng and Yuan Wei were very caring towards Yuan Shao. During that time, Yuan Shao was the apple of everyone's eye.

This situation continued until Yuan Shu began to show his unusual charm.

Yuan Shao is three years older than Yuan Shu. After Yuan Shu activated his innate skill of [understanding sentences and sentences at the age of two, and reading classics at the age of three], Yuan Shu became the focus of attention of the elders, and the original focus, Yuan Shao, was gradually marginalized.

How could Yuan Shao bear such a gap?
At the beginning, he studied hard and tried hard to do things, but the feeling of powerlessness in the face of talent soon defeated Yuan Shao.

He was jealous that Yuan Shu was good at studying and that he had attracted all the attention that originally belonged to him from Yuan Feng and Yuan Wei. In anger, he often quarreled and fought with him.

But Yuan Shu was not only good at studying, but also had great martial virtues. He also had Xu Chong, his lackey, to help him, so he was simply no match for him.

Unable to study or fight, Yuan Shao saw himself becoming a loser and had no other choice but to curse Yuan Shu for disaster.

When Yuan Shu had a conflict with the clan elders over the name issue, he was very happy and thought that Yuan Shu was going to be beaten.

After Yuan Shu was sent to Guanxi to study, he was very excited. He felt that the attention that belonged to him was coming back. As the "eldest orphan", he would be cared for and loved again.

So he further demonstrated his talents, and while studying, he made friends with the sons of noble families and powerful people in Runan County, acting as a leader and traveling back and forth in the county. He soon gained a reputation as a hero and became a very energetic young man in society.

But he gradually felt that things were not developing in the direction he expected.

Yuan Shu became more and more powerful. Although Yuan Shu was no longer seen in the underworld of Runan County, his legend remained.

Yuan Shao often heard Yuan Shu's name in places where his friends gathered to play and act tough, and heard everyone talking about him - look, he was Yuan Shu's brother.

We are brothers, so why don't I deserve a name?

Why do I have the illusion of being burned by the scorching sun in the dim light?
He felt that his life was about to enter eternal night.

Seeing that he was about to change from [Hero Yuan Shao] to [Yuan Shu’s brother], Yuan Shao got angry, but nothing changed except that a poor table was kicked to pieces.

There is no way, Yuan Shu’s awesomeness is high-end, grand and classy.

No matter how angry Yuan Shao was, he was unable to demonstrate his "strengths" on academic issues.

Yuan Shu seriously proposed theories, wrote academic articles, and became a classics teacher recognized by famous scholars in Guanxi, breaking the record of the youngest classics teacher in the Han Dynasty. Nearly two thousand people believed in his theories and followed him. In fact, he had established a school of thought and was very proud of himself.

And Yuan Shao's academic level...

Can't say no.

There is a little bit.

However, Yuan Shao’s academic level is just like the beef in Kangshuaibo’s braised beef noodles, which is not the main component of Yuan Shao.

He is good at physics debates, but how can he use these physics debate techniques in a serious academic setting?

Moreover, even in a physics debate, he seems to be no match for Yuan Shu.

Yuan Shu waved his hand and two thousand ishu responded. They were all high-quality men from Guanxi, well-read and full of martial virtues.

On his side, there were only thirty or fifty rich young men and street thugs following behind him, plus a dog-headed military advisor Xu You waving flags and shouting cheers. Compared with the two thousand brothers on Yuan Shu's side, their fighting power was nothing...

Slightly insufficient.

The chances of winning the fight are not great.

Yuan Shao was very distressed about this.

Envy, jealousy, pain, inferiority, all kinds of emotions intertwined together. He felt that the pain in his heart was more than the water in the ocean. Compared with his, the troubles of young Werther could be regarded as the carefreeness of Teletubbies.

Later, he obtained a handwritten copy of "Mencius Interpretation" through certain channels, trying to find Yuan Shu's weaknesses in it and then break them, so as to directly gain fame that surpasses Yuan Shu and climb up by stepping on Yuan Shu.

Then, the plan ended with his sleep quality greatly improved.

After waking up, Yuan Shao felt healthier, but more bitter in his heart.

But no matter how bitter he was, at the age of fifteen, there was no way he could go and cause trouble for Yuan Shu and teach him a lesson.

He could only swear secretly that after he was crowned an official before Yuan Shu, he would surpass Yuan Shu in the officialdom.

So, he began to try to study the ways of being an official, hoping to find a new way in this field.
