I am not Yuan Shu

Chapter 106 Yuan Shu's Anticipated Opponents
Didn’t Yuan Shu meet the emperor?
I couldn’t even say a word to the emperor?
After Xu Xu finished speaking, the rest of the crowd widened their eyes, their faces filled with disbelief.

"How can this be?"

"This is news that has been publicly spread in the palace, and it also involves the emperor. How can it be false? Could it be that the emperor is lying?"

"That day, Yuan Shu entered the palace in the morning and came out at sunset. He didn't see the emperor for the whole day? Lord Situ, have you been deceived by someone? How can such a thing be true?"

Everyone was talking about it and said they couldn't believe it.

Xu Xu sighed again.

"At this moment, the truth or falsehood is not important, but this news was heard by my disciple from the eunuch Jian Shuo. A while ago, the eunuchs in the palace had two consecutive conflicts, and it was said that the fighting was very fierce. My disciple and Jian Shuo are from the same hometown, so he went to inquire about the news and learned about this incident by accident.

It can be said that the whole thing was planned by the eunuchs. Although we don't know what they were thinking, it seems that recalling Yuan Shu and asking him to meet the emperor had nothing to do with the Yuan family. It was all the eunuchs' idea. Yuan Shu entered the palace and sat there all day without seeing the emperor. The one who personally guarded him at that time was Jian Shuo. "

Zhang Ji's hands trembled and the words came out of his mouth.

"Lord Situ, this... this is a lie, right? Eunuchs are shameless people. They must have lied to instigate internal discord among us. Lord Situ, you must not fall for the eunuchs' tricks!"

"Whether it's a lie or the truth, it doesn't matter now."

Xu Xu was filled with regret and helplessness, and he smiled bitterly: "I now understand why so many high-ranking officials and celebrities worked together and took the lead to seize the initiative, but they were vulnerable. The generals and the lieutenants of the imperial court were slaughtered like pigs and sheep, and the rest fled in panic, like dogs that had lost their homes.

What a famous scholar, what a hope of the whole country, but he couldn't even withstand the eunuch's sword, and he needed Yuan to rescue him. What was the result? The eunuch just threw a bait, and we started to bite, treating the savior as the enemy who killed our father, and wishing to kill him. Is this the style of our famous scholars? ! "

The more Xu Xu spoke, the more frustrated he became. In the end, he just stopped caring and let out all his dissatisfaction.

"When there is a little bit of profit, they rush to be the first, fearing that they will suffer a loss and others will take advantage of them. When they encounter setbacks and dangers, they think of their partners around them and want them to move forward while they shrink back and hide!
I think what Yuan Shu said is right. We are nothing but walking corpses! We have studied the principles of saints for most of our lives, but we are still saints. We have only a few thoughts, and they are all filled with desires! "

What Xu Xu said was very unpleasant, making everyone present feel embarrassed.

Some people wanted to explode, but because of Xu Xusitu's identity, they dared not speak. They could only hold it in. Their faces turned pale. If you didn't know better, you would think that they had a stomach upset yesterday and wanted to explode now, but had to stay.

But Xu Xu did not stay any longer.

After venting his anger, he left without staying for even a second.

He really had no way to stay here any longer. He felt that if he stayed here any longer, his life would be shortened.

He couldn't get over it in his heart, and he didn't want to get involved with this group of people and make the same mistake all the way.

He felt that he had reached the end of his career as Si Tu and would inevitably be liquidated. Even if the Yuan family spared him out of their past friendship, he would not be able to maintain his current position. But no matter what, he had to protect his family from being implicated.

Since Yuan refused to see guests, he sent people to visit her every day. No matter what, he had to try to gain Yuan's forgiveness, escape from this terrifying political whirlpool, and protect his family.

After he left, everyone present vented their dissatisfaction, constantly accusing Xu Xu of saying things that were too harsh and too heartless.

No matter what, weren't you the one who was first attacked and rushed forward?

If you don't take the lead, how can we follow?
Now you're blaming us?
Why is your face so big?
Yang Ci's expression was also very unhappy, and he felt that Xu Xu was somewhat inappropriate, but he still spoke out to stop everyone's discussion.

"Mr. Situ is a man of high moral character and we are not allowed to discuss him. Talking about others behind their backs is against the gentleman's demeanor."

Yang Ci's speech ended everyone's discussion, but the matter did not end there.

Yuan Shu is still showing his prowess in Luoyang City and is still making outputs. The public opinion field in Luoyang City is full of bombardment. Their positions are in danger due to Yuan Shu's bombardment. They must do something to respond, otherwise if Yuan Shu really becomes powerful, how will it end?

By doing this, they have offended the Yuan family and Yuan Shu. If they cannot suppress their arrogance, they will only become a laughing stock if they stop now.

Whether they really want to continue or not, they have to continue now. Otherwise, they will lose face and will not be able to stay in Luoyang in the future.

"Please investigate what Lord Situ said to see if it is true."

"But whether it is true or not, this matter cannot be concluded so simply."

“Whether Yuan has any intention to shake the official school or not, we must let the world see that the official school is the official school because it is orthodox and cannot be shaken!”

"I suggest that you select outstanding young men from your clan or outstanding disciples from your school to debate with Yuan Shu and defeat him. We cannot let him continue to deceive the public with his lies!"

After Xu Xu left, Yang Ci became the backbone of everyone present. He put forward an initiative that was recognized by everyone.

Therefore, the official school of modern literature decided to officially step down and stop its strategy of doing nothing.

This was exactly what Yuan Shu was expecting. Now that the game had begun, it couldn't be stopped. If it stopped midway, it would only become a pointless joke and would also hinder his efforts to develop the Yi Xin Hui's power in Luoyang.

He was not afraid that someone would go against him, but he was afraid that those people would really get scared, shrink back and do nothing, causing everyone to continue to wait and see.

Luoyang is a city that is very political, and cities that are very political tend to have this wait-and-see attitude.

Anyone with a little bit of financial resources and concerns will wait and see the situation, wait until the dust settles before making a decision and voting for the winner, rather than jumping in at the start.

No one wants to take risks, so a winner must be decided. Only the winner can win in such a political place and win the zero-sum game in this city.

The opponents that Yuan Shu expected soon arrived.

On the morning of May 24, the fourth year of Jianning, Yuan Shugang had just begun to give a speech in the Imperial College when a small group of about twelve or thirteen Confucian scholars forced their way through the crowd and marched straight in.

The leader was of medium build, but had a loud voice. He shouted at Yuan Shu, saying that he wanted to challenge him and debate with him.

The group tried to rush up to the stage to confront Yuan Shu directly, but then they found themselves unable to move forward.

Because Yuan Shu's two generals, Lian Da and Shao Yuan, came forward, the two big men directly blocked the stairs for them to ascend to the podium, making it impossible for them to climb up the stairs.

"Get out of the way! Do you know who I am? I am Zhou Liu, a disciple of Dr. Han from the Imperial Academy!"

The leader Zhou Liu was very angry and was about to get angry, pointing at Lian Da and Shao Yuan, but what he got in return was not a concession, but a more determined obstruction.

"No one is allowed to go up without Yuan Jun's permission!"

"If you insist on forcing your way in, don't blame me for being merciless!"

Lian Da and Shao Yuan had both been on the battlefield and killed people. They were strong and sturdy, and looked like fierce generals. They glared at the arrogant leader Zhou Liu with murderous intent.

Under such intimidation, without even resorting to violence, Zhou Liu was frightened by his terrifying appearance and took a few steps back. His face turned pale and he was only able to avoid falling because of the support of the people behind him, revealing his cowardly nature.

"You...you...why are you so rude?"

"There is no need to be polite to rude people."

Cheng Li, who had been standing behind Yuan Shu, walked in front of Yuan Shu at the right time, protected Yuan Shu with his body, and answered on behalf of Yuan Shu.

During this time, other members of the Yi Xin Hui who were responsible for maintaining law and order also reacted and quickly gathered from all directions. They soon surrounded the dozen people, each raising their sticks and vowing to protect Yuan Shu's safety to the death.

Seeing that Yuan Shu was surrounded by security guards, all of them were tall and held sticks, and they looked very martial. These dozen people did not dare to act recklessly. Zhou Liu was furious and could only yell at Yuan Shu.

"Mr. Yuan keeps saying that only by following one's conscience can the situation be saved. He also says that the current situation is critical to survival. However, the Qiang rebellion has been quelled, and the world is at peace. How can there be any signs of crisis? Isn't Mr. Yuan's words alarmist? I cannot agree with him! I am willing to argue with Mr. Yuan!"

He looked forward to debating with Yuan Shu, to getting close to Yuan Shu, to refute him, to complete the task assigned to him by his beloved teacher, and then to get the reward he deserved.

In such an occasion, he did not want to become a laughing stock because of his physics debate.

Of course Yuan Shu did not refuse this.

On the contrary, he was very much looking forward to it and he was very happy!

The debate he had been looking forward to for a long time was finally here!
Dr. Han from Taixue?
Is he the Dr. Yingchuan who taught Shangshu and Yijing?
interesting.

All of the doctor's disciples have personally taken action?
Yuan Shu knew that compared with ordinary students of the Imperial College, these so-called disciples obviously had some background. They could successfully become disciples of the doctors of the Imperial College and become disciples, rather than ordinary students.

Although these people are not descendants of families that inherited the New Text Confucianism, after becoming disciples of the Imperial College doctors, they can also be recognized as part of the New Text Confucianism school. They are considered marginal figures and cannot eat meat, but can at least drink a sip of soup.

It was difficult for ordinary Taixue students to find jobs in Luoyang after graduation, and they often had to return to their hometowns and rely on their status as Taixue students and their family background to find a job as a minor official in their hometown counties.

After that, it will depend on your family background and character to see if you can obtain a position as a filial and honest official and return to Luoyang. If you cannot, you will only be a minor official for the rest of your life.

However, the disciples will more or less have the possibility of staying in Luoyang to serve as palace guards, and their future development will be related to the doctor himself. If they develop well, they can become the doctor's wings.

If they were to fail, the people behind them would also fail. They would have to confront Yuan Shu head-on instead of hiding in dark corners and shooting from behind.

Of course Yuan Shu would agree to such a good thing, so he started a heated debate with this group of people.
