Liu Bei took out the meaning of the worship post in public, and Yuan Shao was clear.

This is not only Liu Bei's loyalty, but also a question that Liu Bei gave him.

Liu Bei is not a protégé or former official of the Yuan family, the owner is still his own father-in-law, he is a political free man, and he follows him because he is optimistic about his prospects.

And he also took a fancy to Liu Bei's talent and the forces behind him.

This is a two-way selection process, Liu Bei has the right and qualifications to ask questions, and Yuan Shao needs to be the answerer.

He needed to tell Liu Bei and the others who were watching.

Follow me, there is meat to eat.

So Yuan Shao personally went to Yuan Shu's residence with the invitation, ignored the dissuasion of Yuan Shu's porter, and went straight into Yuan Shu's mansion, making Yuan Shu, who was drinking and having fun with his concubine, very unhappy.

"What are you doing here?"

Yuan Shu was dressed in regular clothes and looked at Yuan Shao angrily.

Yuan Shao didn't care about his cold attitude, and directly threw his invitation on the table.

"Liu Xuande is my doorman, and he is an indispensable and important help for me, you have crossed the line."

Yuan Shu was stunned for a moment, looking at the invitation, his face darkened suddenly.

"You did it?"

"Xuande's heart is for me, how can you change it? I invited him first, I got to know him first, I got close to him first, and now that he has made achievements, are you interested in him? It's late, it's really late. ”

Yuan Shao smiled coldly: "Outside, you and I are still brothers in the final analysis, don't make some things that make outsiders feel that my brother is not in harmony, otherwise it will not be good for the Yuan family." ”

Yuan Shu looked at Yuan Shao with a dark face and some anger.

"I'm a son-in-law! It's not your turn to teach me a lesson! ”

"The second son."

Yuan Shao sneered: "And I am older than you, I am your brother, and I am the only successor of my father, I am also a son-in-law, don't use my son-in-law status to pressure me." ”

Yuan Shu was annoyed.

"Liu Xuande is not your protégé, why can't I invite him to do things for me? If you start first, I can't do it later? What rule doesn't allow me to do that? ”

Yuan Shao was dismissive of Yuan Shu's words, and he didn't bother to argue with Yuan Shu.

He needed to let Yuan Shu know that Liu Bei was his indispensable and important assistant, and Yuan Shu couldn't get his hands on him, otherwise he would be openly opposing him.

This is crucial, and it involves the principle of struggle within the Yuan family.

He said coldly: "If that's the case, I shouldn't have heard it, just say it in private, but on the surface, don't do it, otherwise let others laugh at me The Yuan family's internal discord and fierce internal fighting will ruin the reputation of the Yuan family, do you think my uncle will be very angry?" ”

Yuan Shu was angry.

"You ......"

"You and I are both children of the Yuan family, the Yuan family has the greatest prestige, under the prestige, you and I are both foils, don't smear the prestige of the family anymore! You're defending the ghost in the way! ”

"Yuan Shao!"

Yuan Shu was furious, stepped forward and glared at Yuan Shao, and roared: "Remember the identity of your concubine!" Don't think that if you pass by, you are a son-in-law! Don't put my family reputation on me! What you can do, I can do! Don't be too presumptuous, or I'll never make you feel better! ”

"Whatever, but don't forget, in public, remember to call me brother, don't ruin the reputation of the family's brothers!"

Yuan Shao sneered, turned around and left, leaving Yuan Shu in a fit of rage.

Although he was angry, although he wanted to beat Yuan Shao to make himself more comfortable, Yuan Shu knew that he couldn't do this, at least not publicly.

Otherwise, it will be to let outsiders see Yuan's jokes and damage Yuan's reputation.

This is very serious for the Yuan family, which is already in a very delicate situation in the disaster of the party.

Once the incident happens, the elders of the clan will definitely not let themselves have a good time.

It may even affect your ranking among the family heirs.

After Yuan Shao left, Yuan Shu was full of annoyance and didn't know where to sprinkle, so he could only sprinkle fire on the concubine.

After venting the evil fire, Yuan Shu found Yang Hong, who was giving him advice, and threw the invitation in front of him.

"This invitation was brought to me by Yuan Shao."

Yang Hong was stunned for a moment, then shocked, and then looked at Yuan Shu's face, it was obvious that he was angry.

"Highway, I miscalculated, I didn't expect Yuan Benchu to attach so much importance to Liu Bei."

"The more he attaches importance to it, the more it proves that Liu Bei is really talented, if such a person can give me advice, do I still need to worry about not being able to overpower Yuan Shao?!"

Yuan Shu was furious, his face was full of unhappiness, and he hammered his fist on the case: "Just a concubine, you dare to be majestic in front of me!" If you don't teach him a lesson, he won't know what humility is! ”

Yang Hong felt that Yuan Shu was a little out of control, and hurriedly dissuaded him.

"Highway, at this moment, you must not openly confront Yuan Shao, this is absolutely unacceptable for the Yuan family, if you do this, Yuan Gong will definitely be very angry."

The Yuan Gong in Yang Hong's mouth is naturally Yuan Kui, the current speaker of the Yuan family after Yuan Feng's death, and the uncle of the three brothers Yuan Ji, Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shu.

Yuan Kui, who is in charge of the Yuan family's foundation and is in a high position, Yuan Shu does not dare to disobey, and for the majestic Yuan Kui, Yuan Shu has no spirit at all.

"Don't always press me with your uncle."

He could only reprimand Yang Hong with a fierce heart.

Of course, Yang Hong was very discerning and apologized to Yuan Shu, but he also pointed out the fact that the Yuan brothers could not break up publicly.

For this fact, Yuan Shu was very helpless, but he also hated it very much.

"Did you just watch Yuan Shao step on my head?"

"Right now, there's no better way."

Yang Hong is not a scheming ghost, and in the face of this situation, he can't think of any better way, so he can only persuade Yuan Shu to take a step back and use his identity as a sister-in-law to make more encirclement of Yuan's protégés and stabilize his basic plate.

"As a concubine, it is difficult for Yuan Benchu to encompass the protégés who are more closely related to the Yuan family, and the most important strength of the Yuan family is none other than the protégés of the Yuan family, as long as these people can be encircled, no matter how much Yuan Benchu tosses, he will not be able to turn the sky upside down."

Yang Hong is right, Yuan's political power is mainly reflected in the two groups of protégés and former officials.

Compared with the group of former officials with more complex composition and more chaotic people's hearts, the protégé group is the most important political cornerstone of the Yuan family.

Because of the reason that they were employed by the Yuan family, they were highly consistent with the interests of the Yuan family politically, and they were also more noble and appealing in social status than the group of former officials of different origins.

If you take the term of cultivating immortals to explain, the protégé is equivalent to the inner disciple of the Yuan family, and the official is the outer disciple of the Yuan family.

Yuan Shu knew this kind of thing, but compared to Yuan Shao, who was born as the eldest son, he had a major disadvantage.

In the sequence of descendants, he is the second son, not the eldest son, compared to Yuan Shu, the protégés are more willing to take refuge in Yuan Ji, unless Yuan Ji is not taken seriously, they will abandon Yuan Ji and take refuge in Yuan Shu.

This made Yuan Shu feel that he was the spare tire of Yuan's protégés, and he was very unhappy, so he had to go against Yuan Shao everywhere.

And Yuan Jizuo didn't dare to do it.

But now that he is not only suppressed by Yuan Ji, but also by Yuan Shao, the bitterness in his heart can be imagined.

Yuan Shu's distress Yuan Shao didn't know, and he didn't want to know it, because he never regarded Yuan Shu as his own person, whether Yuan Shu's life was good or bad had nothing to do with him, as long as he didn't make trouble, didn't mess around, so that he ruined Yuan's reputation, it was enough.

As a concubine, Yuan Shao took every step very carefully.

was afraid that something would happen that would affect the prestige he had so hard accumulated, so when he returned to his hometown, he would be afraid of Yuedan to comment on Xu's family, and he didn't dare to let Xu's know his style signboard to avoid being badly judged by them.

From this point of view, Yuan Shao's upper history as a concubine is actually full of difficulties, compared with Yuan Shu who played GG at the beginning of Tianhu later, Yuan Shao is undoubtedly better.

It's just that Yuan Shao has obvious advantages and obvious disadvantages.

He is a top-level publicist, but also a terrible HR, and a general manager who lacks management ability.

Liu Bei has already seen this.
