Runan Xu Manor.
In Runan, even in the hearts of the scholars of the world, the Xu Manor had an extremely important position. Its reputation was extremely wide and it was highly regarded!
Because this was the residence of the two brothers, Xu Shao and Xu Jing. The monthly review hosted by the Xu brothers was definitely the first review of the day.
They were held at the beginning of each month to comment on the township party, praise and criticize current politics, to identify good and bad, to distinguish between good and evil. People in the court and in the wild were all in his evaluation.
After each review, everyone was convinced. Moreover, those who received good reviews all became famous. Over time, the monthly reviews had become the benchmark in the hearts of scholars in the world.
Even Cao Cao did not hesitate to use force to threaten him in order to get the evaluation of Yue Danping. Finally, he received the comment of "a capable minister in governing the world, a fierce hero in troubled times" before leaving in joy.
One could imagine the influence of Yuedanping!
On this day, Yang Xiu, a descendant of the Yang family of Hongnong, came to visit Xu Shao. Looking at his plain clothes, Xu Shao felt a sense of impending disaster.
As a critic, it was a basic quality to observe people's expressions and try to figure out their hearts. The Xu brothers were able to bring the title of "The World's Number One Review" to the Yue Dan Review. It was enough to show their ability to judge people.
As expected.
After Yang Xiu took a sip of tea, he went straight to the point and said,"I hope that you will comment on the current Emperor in the monthly evaluation forum in a few days!”
Rumble!
It was like a thunderbolt on a clear day, making Xu Shao jump up. Then, he sat down resentfully and directly refused,
"Impossible! At the beginning of the establishment of Yuedan Review, it was stated clearly that it commented on the people in the court and in the wild. How could Your Majesty be discussed by us scholars?”
Xu Shao had naturally heard of what had happened in Luoyang. Not only did a critic need to know people, but they also needed to be observant and attentive. The speed at which they obtained information was beyond imagination.
The aristocratic families led by the Yuan and Yang families were directly massacred by His Majesty because they had submitted to Dong Zhuo and colluded with the Western Liang Army!
Now that the imperial edict was about to be announced to the world, if he, Xu Shao, went to the government to report it, Yang Xiu, a direct descendant of the Yang family, would be imprisoned and tried.
However, due to his face and the connections of the Yang family's four generations and three dukes, he only gave the Yang family face.
However, if the Yang family wanted to use the reputation of the "monthly review" to counterattack the Emperor, then he, Xu Shao, really did not have the courage!
His Majesty's Snow Dragon Cavalry had surrounded and annihilated more than 200,000 Western Liang cavalry in the northern suburbs of the capital. It was said that in the end, corpses piled up like mountains and rivers of blood flowed. Only tens of thousands of Western Liang soldiers survived. That iron-blooded suppression had intimidated all disloyal hearts in the world!
Yang Xiu's expression turned cold. If the Yang Family's master was still alive, how could Xu Shao reject him? "What if I say I have to?" he asked coldly.”
"His Majesty has started a massacre in the Imperial Court, and the three dukes of the Yuan and Yang families have all died tragically. I am just a weak scholar, how can I dare to resist the imperial power?”
Xu Shao said sarcastically.
Your Yang Family's three dukes have all been killed, yet you still dare to come here and show off? Do you really think I, Xu Shao, am a vegetarian?
Yang Xiu was furious. Just as he was about to speak again, a cold voice sounded outside the hall,"What if we, the Yuan Family, are included?"
Yuan Shu barged in directly. Runan was his territory, and he had many soldiers under him. How could the servants of the Xu Manor dare to stop him?!
This made Xu Shao's face instantly turn pale!
After all, the Yang family was the Yang family of Hongnong. Hongnong was still thousands of miles away from Runan. But the Yuan family's full name was Runan Yuan family!
Even though news of the Yuan Clan's descendants had spread through the capital, the officials still didn't dare to arrest them.
In fact, they would not arrest them because these people were all students and old officials of the Yuan family. They were all forces of the Yuan family!
And now, this force was under Yuan Shu's control!
"Uncle!"
Yang Xiu looked at Yuan Shu, his eyes filled with tears. His father was Grand Marshal Yang Biao, and his mother was Yuan Shu and his sister. The four generations and three dukes of the two families had arranged marriages with each other, and they were in cahoots.
Yuan Shu looked at Yang Xiu and sighed. This was his nephew. The Yang Family was now leaderless, and Yang Xiu had to step forward at the age of his hair. Seeing this made his heart ache.
"Dezu, why don't you go to uncle first? So much so that he was humiliated? Do you really think that our two families are dead?!”Yuan Shu glared at Xu Shao.
"Xiu originally wanted to pay a visit after this matter was over!”Yang Xiu bowed.
Yuan Shu patted Yang Xiu's shoulder and then looked at Xu Shao,""I think Dezu's suggestion is very good. Do you agree or not?”
Xu Shao looked at the aggressive and murderous soldiers behind Yuan Shu, and then at the unfriendly Yuan Shu. He sighed in his heart. If he refused, he would probably die at home.
However, the Yang Family and Yuan Family had made it clear that they wanted him to say something that was beneficial to the two families and unfavorable to the Emperor. How could he dare to criticize the Emperor?!
Xu Shao sighed." It's not that I don't want to help, but if I speak ill of His Majesty, I'll definitely die!"”
"Do you think this matter represents our Yuan and Yang Families?”
"Wrong!" Yuan Shu said coldly. This matter represented the competition between the imperial power and the aristocratic families of the world! The Xu family was also one of the aristocratic families, right? If you refuse, I don't even need to do anything. You will definitely be rejected by the aristocratic families of the world!
"Besides, the mountains are high and the emperor is far away.!”
This last threatening statement was already naked. Yuan Shu didn't know what would happen to Liu Bian in the capital, but if Xu Shao refused, he would immediately end him!
Xu Shao sat down. He had no choice but to lower his head. He sighed helplessly and said,"Good! I will comment on His Majesty in the next monthly review!”
"A wise man understands the times!" Yuan Shu nodded and handed over a letter."This is my uncle's personal letter.”
"Grand Tutor Yuan Kui?"
Xu Shao was shocked. After taking a look, he could only sigh that it was indeed a family of four generations and three dukes. It was unusual to prepare for danger in times of peace.
"I know!"
Cao Cao could be evaluated by threatening him with force. Yuan Shu was naturally too lazy to talk nonsense. He could make Yue Danping make an exception by directly threatening him with force.
A hard fist was the truth!
Yuan Shu directly left with Yang Xiu, without even showing any basic farewell etiquette. However, Xu Shao did not dare to say anything.
"Keep an eye on Xu Shao. If he dares to escape, break his legs!”
"This general will obey!"
Yuan Shu added another layer of insurance. Then, he looked at Yang Xiu and said,"Dezu and Uncle are going home!"
"Thank you, Uncle!"
Yang Xiu first bowed and then advised,"Uncle, we have an even more important matter to do now!”
