Yuan Shao, the son of Sikong Yuan Feng, was later passed to his uncle Yuan Cheng, born in the Yuan family of Runan of the fourth and third princes, and was one of the famous beautiful men in the Three Kingdoms era.

Because of his superior background, handsome and mighty posture, Yuan Shao won the love of the elders, especially Yuan Feng and Yuan Kui, who loved him very much, he became a Lang official at a young age with the background of the family, and became the county magistrate of Puyang at the age of less than twenty.

After that, Yuan Shao mourned for three years because of the loss of his mother, and then Yuan Shao lamented the early death of his father Yuan Cheng, and served the funeral for Yuan Cheng for three years, so Yuan Shao served a total of six years of mourning. After the mourning period expired, Yuan Shao refused to go out of office, but ran to Luoyang to live in seclusion.

In history, Yuan Shao was more or less discriminated against because he was a concubine, but in the tradition of the old Yuan family, there was no restriction that a concubine could not become a talent, on the contrary, the eldest sons who had inherited the family business basically did not come out, from Yuan An's eldest son Yuan Shang to Yuan Shao's uncle Yuan Ping, basically all of them were watered.

How can people who have old books to eat have the motivation to move forward.

Yuan Shao is very self-motivated in history, he wants to prove that he is no worse than anyone else, but it is precisely such a Yuan Shao who did not choose to move forward smoothly under the arrangement of his elders, but instead chose a very dangerous path.

Yuan Shao grew up in the period of Emperor Ling, which was the darkest era under the rule of the central court of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

What kind of period was that, the era when the Ten Standing Servants were in power alone, the era of wanton behavior, and the most glorious period for the eunuchs! Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty once launched the party again at the suggestion of the eunuch Cao Jie to crack down on loyal scholars, and later even recognized the eunuch Zhang Rang as his father and Zhao Zhong as his mother, comparing the two to his parents, and almost obedient to the eunuchs, it can be said that they are the puppets of the living eunuchs.

During the reign of Emperor Ling, it was the era of eunuchs, and the eunuchs were the biggest cancer of that era.

At that time, the scholars and doctors who survived above the court were basically appeasementers, except for the neutral ones, that is, the lackeys of the eunuchs, as for those loyal ministers, they either became shrunken turtles, or they had already been hung up with the name of "party members", and they died and ran away.

Of course, the old Yuan family is also a appeasement faction.

But Yuan Shao is not! Yuan Shao didn't want to compromise with the eunuchs, he wanted to eliminate the eunuch forces.

Therefore, Yuan Shao gave up an easy and risky career, but refused to go out, chose to fight against the Ten Standing Servants, gave up comfort, and finally became a leader against the eunuch faction.

Yuan Shao has his own ideals and ambitions, he faces the dark society and the dark reality, refuses to integrate into it, but uses his family background, gives full play to his advantages, and constantly accumulates strength, prepares, and waits.

Yuan Shao lived in seclusion in Luoyang, ostensibly not in vain with guests, but in fact he was secretly accumulating his own strength and making friends with party members and chivalrous people, including Zhang Mengzhuo (Zhang Miao), He Boqiu (He Hao), Wu Ziqing (?) ), Xu Ziyuan (Xu You), Wu Yu (Wu Qiong) and others.

Zhang Miao is one of the famous "Eight Chefs", and his family has a lot of money.

He Hao had too close a close relationship with the party leaders Chen Fan (one of the three gentlemen) and Li Ying, and was strictly guarded against by the eunuchs, and was very prestigious, and when he changed his name and took refuge in Runan, Yuan Shao took the initiative to make friends with him, and even invited him to come to Luoyang many times in private.

Xu You also strongly opposed the eunuchs, and later prepared to abolish Emperor Ling of Han with Wang Fen and others in Jizhou, re-establish the Marquis of Hefei as the emperor, and expel the eunuchs, but in the end failed, Wang Fen committed suicide, and Xu You fled.

Wu Qiong, a member of the party, after Dong Zhuo took power, he was vigorously promoted to the captain of the city gate and the servant, and later proposed to Dong Zhuo to appoint Yuan Shao as the Bohai Taishou and send Han Fu and others to garrison one side.

In addition to these that have been recorded, there are also Yuan Shao's sworn friends Cao Cao and others.

Yuan Shao himself is personable, beautiful, benevolent to people, and pays attention to fame. His ancestors served as the third prince for generations, and there were many guests, and Yuan Shao lowered his status to make friends, so all the scholars rushed to him. Regardless of whether the scholars came or not, Yuan Shao was equal to them in etiquette, and all kinds of vehicles of the guests who came to visit crowded the streets and alleys.

Yuan Shao's activity in Luoyang naturally attracted the attention of the eunuchs, after all, Luoyang is the base camp of the ten permanent servants, the strongest place for the eunuchs, and Yuan Shao's actions made the eunuchs very angry.

Zhao Zhong, a regular attendant, said in the palace: "Yuan Benchu refused to be an official to raise his reputation and worth, but now he likes to raise those who are not afraid of death, I don't know what this kid wants to do!" ”

After Yuan Shao's uncle Yuan Kui learned the news, he was very scared, so he immediately called Yuan Shao and reprimanded him with Zhao Zhong's words, but Yuan Shao never changed.

Because Yuan Shao himself has no official position, he is a junior, and he has the protection of the old Yuan family, plus he was not caught, Yuan Shao did not make too radical moves, so the ten permanent servants did not take Yuan Shao too seriously for a while, but they must be very dissatisfied with Yuan Shao's small actions.

In history, Yuan Shaohui abandoned his official position and chose Luoyang as his place of seclusion, which was also carefully considered.

Due to his background, Yuan Shao does not lack a platform or resources, what he lacks is enough influence. If Yuan Shao becomes an official, his official position will not be too high at the beginning, and he will be entangled in vulgar things, and he will be more constrained.

If he should not be called, Yuan Shao can not only enhance his reputation, but also move more freely, even if he does something out of the ordinary, because Yuan Shao is white, he will not be too eye-catching, causing the jealousy of the eunuchs, and it will only be regarded as a junior fool.

On the other hand, it is true that Luoyang, as the nest of eunuchs, is very risky to stay here, but it is matched by a huge opportunity. Luoyang, as the Kyoto of the Han Dynasty, is the center of the Han Dynasty and the highest stage, and only here can Yuan Shao maximize his performance.

And Yuan Shao himself has given up his official position, without any official position, even if he returns to his hometown Runan to stay, it is difficult to gather heroes from all over the world, but Luoyang is different, Luoyang internal talents gather, although Yuan Shao has no position, but the old Yuan family has a huge influence in the court, Yuan Shao can use the strength of the family to accumulate strength.

At the end of the Han Dynasty, the ten permanent servants relied on the palace, and the power was overwhelming, and they could do whatever they wanted.

Yuan Shao secretly erected a banner against the eunuchs in that era when he was young, you must know that the party policy was not over at that time, and Yuan Shao took a great risk in doing so.

But he did not regret in the face of setbacks, did not give up, persevered, the emperor lived up to his wishes, and Yuan Shao finally waited for the opportunity he had been looking forward to.
