I am not Yuan Shu

Chapter 68: Psychology is his scalpel (first order required)

At present, Yuan Shu's adoptive father Yuan Feng is no longer the Jingzhao Yin, but instead serves as Taifu, one of the Nine Ministers in the court.

This position is in charge of the emperor's carriages and horses. The position is very close to the emperor, so it has a special status among the Nine Ministers.

Under such rumors, Yuan Feng was promoted to one of the Nine Ministers. It was obvious that the eunuchs valued the Yuan family enough, and the Yuan family's future was still stable.

So Yuan Shu calmed down and didn't worry too much.

Seeing Yuan Shu's calm face, Xu Chong felt that the emperor was not anxious, but the eunuch was.

"Jia Wenhe works at the Shangshutai. If we ask around, he will definitely know more. Anyway, I think we should be more careful. Those stinking eunuchs are so bloodthirsty that they don't care about anything. Wasn't the Yunyang County Magistrate arrested and killed because he complained a few times a while ago?"

"Don't you always dislike Wenhe? Why did you listen to my advice?"

Yuan Shu glanced at Xu Chong, then lowered his head and continued reading Jia Xu's letter.

Xu Chong looked as if it was a matter of course.

"This is not about Jia Wenhe. This matter is mainly about your safety. Liu Biao, Zhang Jian and Xia Fu are all here with us. If they are not discovered, it will be fine. But if they are discovered, how can we explain it? So I am considering you."

"You really think a lot."

After reading the letter, Yuan Shu looked up at Xu Chong and patted him on the shoulder: "Think about it more, it won't be wrong. You look strong and smart, so you must be smart. You should learn to use your brain more and not treat it as a decoration."

"Hey hey hey..."

Xu Chong didn't know what he was thinking about, he just smiled.

"You're right. It seems the situation is quite tense this time."

Yuan Shu put away Jia Xu's letter, turned around and went into the thatched cottage, saying as he walked: "Killing people in Luoyang is not enough, we must force all the provincial governors and county governors to kill people together. Those who don't kill are accomplices and must be dealt with together. The emperor has a righteous cause, and if this is done, it will be difficult for the local authorities to do things."

"The emperor is only thirteen years old, he knows nothing! He can issue a shitty order! Isn't he just a puppet in the hands of those stinky eunuchs?"

Xu Chong had followed Yuan Shu for so many years that he had long lost his fear of the emperor. He cursed in dissatisfaction, "That's what those bastards meant! They keep killing people every day, and sooner or later they'll be killed!"

Yuan Shu walked to the table, picked up the utensils for brushing teeth and washing face, and started washing.

"That's what they say, but on the surface, this is the emperor's order. Disobeying the order is disobeying the emperor's order and is disrespectful. They can be taken down at any time and replaced with people who are willing to obey orders. Anyway, there are many people who want to become eunuchs and officials these days. Even if we kill all thirteen provincial governors and more than a hundred county governors, we can quickly replace them with others."

"Isn't it?"

Xu Chong sighed: "Are those stinking eunuchs really lawless? No one can control them?"

Yuan Shu brushed his teeth with salt, rinsed his mouth, looked at his healthy teeth in front of the smooth bronze mirror, and nodded.

"Who's in charge? The thirteen-year-old little emperor? Or Empress Dowager Dou? The little emperor is a puppet, and Empress Dowager Dou has long been under house arrest. Now the entire court is the court of those eunuchs, and they can do whatever they want."

“It’s really unfair!”

Xu Chong said with an unhappy face: "They say that the emperor is the son of heaven, so why doesn't the emperor take care of his own son? He caused so many troubles and killed so many people. Isn't he afraid that someone will rebel in anger?"

"In the final analysis, those who were killed were those who opposed the eunuchs. These were the minority. Those who cooperated with the eunuchs were the majority. Who would rebel?"

Yuan Shu put down his toiletries, wiped his face with a cloth, and said, "To put it bluntly, if we kill those party members, wouldn't the vacant positions be just right for those who want to get ahead? Luoyang will free up a group of positions for Luoyang's collaborators, and local positions will free up a group of positions for local collaborators.

As a result, Luoyang and other places will have a large number of eunuch collaborators. They will seize the power of the party members and take the benefits of the eunuchs. They will become die-hard eunuchs in the future. In this way, the power of the eunuchs will only become greater and more stable. Where will people come from to rebel? "

Xu Chong was stunned when he heard this. He touched his boss's head and thought for a long time before he figured out the connection.

"Can someone kill someone so calculatedly? There must be a master among these thieves! Isn't it terrible to think this way?"

"People who came before us will suffer for their sins. There are many good horses, but few good horse trainers."

Yuan Shu hung the towel back on the rack, adjusted his appearance in front of the bronze mirror, and said slowly: "Do you really think that all the party members are good people? They want to eat meat and drink soup, but they don't even leave a few bites for the subordinates. There are so many people under them, there must be some who can read and are smart, and they are unwilling to live in a muddle all their lives. Isn't it just right for them to join the eunuchs?
What are the three kings, eight ministers, and eight chefs? They boast about each other and brag about each other. They really think they are the saviors. If they die, there will be no salvation for the world? They think everything they do is right, and everything the eunuchs do is wrong? Even saints can make mistakes. Can the party members surpass saints and not make mistakes? "

Xu Chong scratched his face, looking confused.

"Boss, why do I feel like... you are speaking for eunuchs?"

"I am speaking for the people of the world!"

Yuan Shu fixed his appearance and walked out slowly, saying as he walked: "Eunuchs and party members are nothing more than the difference between bullies and hooligans. They fight and kill each other, hurting the people of the world who want to live a good life, and they themselves don't benefit. Wait and see, the best is yet to come!"

Yuan Shu turned around and said with a smile, "Oh, it's just right that you're here. I'll leave the chopping of firewood, boiling water and making breakfast to you. I'm going to pay my respects at the teacher's grave. The funeral will be over in a few days, so I won't be able to come often in the future. Spend more time with the teacher now. Call me when the meal is ready, and we'll go back to Liangzhuang after dinner."

Xu Chong was stunned when he heard this. "But Cheng Zhongde seems very anxious..."

"Don't be impatient, don't be impatient. You can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. Sharpening the knife does not delay the chopping of wood."

Yuan Shu laughed, waved his hand, and left.

Xu Chong could only nod helplessly, took on a lot of work, and started preparing breakfast for Yuan Shu.

He didn't think there was anything wrong with this, as that was how he served Yuan Shu in the past.

He even felt that it was his privilege to prepare meals for Yuan Shu. Only he could personally prepare Yuan Shu's meals and understand Yuan Shu's preferences.

Just in this respect, he is far better than Jia Xu and Cheng Li.

Hehehehe, I am the boss’s most trusted person!

Xu Chong won huge prizes, while Yuan Shu took a bottle of wine to Ma Rong's grave not far away, poured a glass of wine into the glass in front of the tombstone, and leaned on Ma Rong's tombstone.

"Teacher, time flies so fast. In the blink of an eye, three years will have passed. I won't be able to accompany you every day in the future. Don't feel lonely. If you feel lonely, come to me in my dreams at night and talk to me... Don't come to me when you are awake, I'm afraid."

"After the death of the previous emperor, the national strength of the Han Dynasty was getting worse year by year. Those eunuchs were really powerful. They controlled the young emperor and placed Empress Dowager Dou under house arrest. The entire court was truly a court of eunuchs. In this respect, they were more powerful than the previous five marquises."

"The Yangtze River's waves behind push the waves in front, and beat the waves in front to death on the beach. Before, they were just abusing their power, but now they are directly acting as regents. The little emperor is still young, and it is not time for him to stand up. These eunuchs are killing people everywhere. The influence is really too bad. It is really unpleasant!"

"But there is nothing I can do. I am not old enough to be an official yet. There are many things I cannot do and I can only watch. But I think I won't be long. I haven't wasted any time in the past few years. My reputation has grown and my skills have become more and more solid."

"Teacher, at that time, there was a very powerful senior who said that to conquer the world, you can't just rely on the pen, you also need the gun. Guns alone are not enough, the pen can't be left behind either. The gun and the pen complement each other, and only then can you firmly rule the world."

"So my writing is not enough, I also need to have a gun, otherwise those who are unhappy with me or have bad intentions can control me. I didn't think so much at the beginning, I just wanted to protect myself. Who would have thought that this self-protection was really right, everyone praised me for my foresight, and the gun became stronger."

"Teacher, don't worry. I haven't forgotten Ma's teachings, nor have I given up. I'm still saying what I need to say. In the past few years, many people have come to me to learn from me, and I've accepted them all. Confucius needed 3,000 disciples to accompany him when he traveled around the countries. I think 30,000 people are not enough if I want to make a name for my new knowledge."

"I may have too many followers, and I need some money, houses and land to accept them, so I borrowed some from Ma... I borrowed, not took, and certainly not robbed. I am a martial artist, and I return what I borrow, so they were very polite and gave me a lot."

"I said I didn't want it, but they insisted that I accept it. I said if I accepted so much, what would I do if I died and saw the teacher and the teacher blamed me? They said they would die first and then help me explain. That way, when I died and saw the teacher, the teacher wouldn't blame me."

"Now that we've come to this, it would be unreasonable for me not to accept it. And to be honest, the land of Sanfu is in ruins, production is declining, and there are large tracts of wasteland. I can't bear to see such a good land of abundance fall to this state, so I accepted it and bought a lot myself."

"I have always been adhering to the knowledge of conscience and have been passing it on. My disciples are just like me, adhering to conscience and doing the right thing. Now my disciples have a lot of experience in helping farmers, and many farming geniuses have emerged. They have written many agricultural books. Now they no longer call me the little prodigy, but call me the Little Shennong instead."

"I was thinking, I'm just farming, how can I be regarded as a little Shennong? But when people praise me, I accept it. If I don't, wouldn't it be hypocritical? Anyway, farming is a good thing, a great thing. If everyone farmed and everyone had land to farm, the world would be peaceful..."

Yuan Shu leaned against Ma Rong's tombstone, holding the glass of wine in his hand, smiling and talking, saying out everything that was in his heart that he could and could not say.

Ma Rong is no longer with us, so it is safest and most reliable to talk to him. Yuan Shu doesn't want to keep things to himself all the time, so he also needs a tree hole to talk.

In the past few years, he told Ma Rong everything he knew from his previous life, but he didn't know what Ma Rong would think after listening to him.

If you suddenly find out that your trusted disciple is from another world, would you be so surprised that your relics would burst out?
But Yuan Shu couldn't care less. He really wanted to talk and say everything that was in his heart.

He has desires, but he also has ideals. What he wants is not only power, but also a beautiful and ideal future.

He wanted to destroy all humanoid creatures and return the world to human rule.

Then use new academic ideas to rebuild the spiritual pillars of society, perform a surgical operation on this society from the inside out, and correct those strange things.

The philosophy of psychology is his scalpel.

However, in order to allow patients to lie quietly in bed and receive surgery, military means are still necessary.

Moreover, he could not wait until the destined moment, nor wait until the chaos of war among the heroes. By that time, he didn't know how long he could live.

He needs to speed up and lay the necessary foundation as soon as possible before he grows up. Once he grows up and becomes stronger, he will be able to take advantage of the situation.

Looking back on the past and looking forward to the future, Yuan Shu just leaned against Ma Rong's tombstone and talked and talked. He said a lot of random things until Xu Chong shouted at Yuan Shu to go for breakfast. Yuan Shu stopped talking.

He stood up and, as he had done in the past, bowed to Ma Rong's tombstone and poured the wine in the cup in front of the tomb.

"Teacher, drink this cup to the full, and I will leave."

After saying that, Yuan Shu turned and left.
