Yuan Ji's heart was very uncomfortable.

Yuan Kui handed over the matter of selecting filial piety to Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, although he did not say it directly, but the meaning was obvious, that is, after selecting high-quality talents, the two of them would accept them on behalf of the Yuan family.

Yuan Kui, as the speaker of the Yuan family, can't do it himself for such a thing as personally breaking the festival to collect the talents of Beijing, as the third duke, how can he have nothing to do and deal with a group of Lang officials all day long, so it will inevitably fall the value of the Yuan family.

Therefore, these things naturally have to be handed over to the next generation to deal with.

Whoever deals with this matter is equivalent to recruiting old officials for the Yuan family, and at the same time making more personal connections for himself, and even some people who are good at speculation can directly be accepted as personal arms.

This good thing, Yuan Kui did not hand it over to Yuan Ji.

As the heir of the marquis, and at the same time the eldest son of Yuan Fengyi, Yuan Ji's foundation is quite stable, and although he did not make friends with the party like Yuan Shao, he has the name of a model in the world, but among the sons of the Yuan family, Yuan Ji's reputation for virtue is the most.

So for the relationship between these three brothers, Yuan Kui saw it very clearly.

Greatly increase Yuan Shao's momentum, slightly increase Yuan Shu's momentum, suppress Yuan Ji's momentum, and let them restrain each other and balance.

What if Yuan Ji is a descendant? You're just Yuan Feng's concubine!

If you want to be the next speaker of the Yuan clan in Runan, it's just that Yuan Feng's descendants are useless, Yuan Kui also has a son, and he has passed the old husband in advance.

Let's let the three of them fight first, both use and differentiate!

Bad hearts are bad hearts, but in terms of heart, these three nephews have their own strengths, and Yuan Kui is quite easy to use.

……

After the meeting broke up and the nephews left, Yuan Kui's eldest son Yuan Dong asked Yuan Kui and said, "Father, why don't you wait for me to select officials from filial piety and honesty?" ”

"What are you anxious about?"

Yuan Kui's tone was very flat: "The overall situation is uncertain, the general trend is unclear, why are you in a hurry to show your head?" By the way, I told Yang Boxian a few days ago, the next year will make you marry his daughter, you first think about how to get along with the Hongnong Yang family after marriage, and reach an alliance with the Yang family, and can afford to help each other, this is the most important thing for you, as for those few places filial piety, just let you two brothers? You must know that you are not in a situation now, and the Yuan family still needs them to fight...... To be a man, you have to take a long-term view, you know? ”

"Well, the child remembers his father's teachings.

……

At the same time, Yuan Shao, who had left Yuan Kui's mansion, did not take the car, but threw off his stride and walked in the other direction of his house.

On the road, there were two people waiting for Yuan Shao.

These two people were Yuan Shao's friends when he was a teenager, and now they are his right-hand men, one is Cao Cao after the eunuch, and the other is Xu Yu in Nanyang.

"Primordial!"

The two of them saw Yuan Shao from afar and called together.

When he saw these two young friends, Yuan Shao showed a pleased smile: "Meng De, Ziyuan!" ”

Cao Cao strode over to Yuan Shao's side and looked him up and down.

"Haha, my brother is in good spirits and looks very cool! What good things did Situ arrange for you? ”

Yuan Shao laughed when he heard this, and said, "Those who know me, Meng Deye!" Uncle's intention, after Xiaolian, who came to the Third Department of Beijing this year, took up the post of Lang official, everyone's resumes will be sent to me and the highway house respectively, and the two of us will screen them from them and enter the door for the Yuan family! ”

"Oh?"

Xu You was very happy to hear this, he said excitedly: "If this is the case, don't forget to call Xu when you arrive, among this year's Lang officials, several people from Nanyang and Yanzhou counties, I have visited in the past, they are all good backgrounds, good at scriptures and scholars, and filial piety from Dongping and Wang Wenzu are kind, and they can also be used......"

Xu You vigorously recommended candidates for Yuan Shao there, Yuan Shao agreed with a smile, and Cao Cao was silent and thoughtful.

Yuan Shao turned his head to look at him and said with a smile: "Meng De, Ziyuan is very concerned about this matter, why are you silent, don't you have any suitable candidates in your heart to recommend to me?" ”

Xu You smiled and quipped: "After Meng De is a eunuch, I am afraid that it will be difficult to have a good relationship with those filial piety." ”

Yuan Shao scolded Xu Yu with his hand, and said dissatisfiedly: "Don't talk nonsense! ”

Cao Cao didn't care, and said: "What Ziyuan said is that in my identity, few of those filial piety are willing to take care of me, but ......"

He changed his words and said: "There is a person who is brave and resourceful, and has a deep heart, and I like it quite a lot. ”

"Oh? Let's put it mildly. ”

"From Zhuo County, Liu Jian Liu Deran, Lu Shangshu's protégé, Zheng Kangcheng's son-in-law, Cao Mou and a group of seniors in front of His Majesty to strictly investigate Cao Poshi's matter, I have seen this person."

Yuan Shao nodded abruptly and said, "I know this person!" Now in Luoyang City, it can be regarded as out of the limelight, in the past in the northern Xinjiang, it has also made a world-class contribution, I heard that he was blocked by Cao Poshi this time, but Cao Poshi was abolished, hahaha, it is very good! It's quite consistent with your stick killing plan back then! ”

Cao Cao touched the short hair on his chin, shook his head and said: "At the beginning, I can't hide it, Cao feels that this person's actions are a little more courageous than I used to be." ”

Yuan Shao seemed to be quite interested: "Oh? Why? ”

"I was a stick to kill the picture, it really has the meaning of establishing a prestige and a name, but the eunuchs can help me, after all, although the ancestors are eunuchs, serving the four emperors, my father is in the shadows, ranked in the ninth qing, even if I killed him with a stick, but after all, no one dares to touch my life, but this Liu Jian, who has no background and no family to rely on in Beijing, knows that he is the introduction that Situ used to destroy the Cao family, and he dared to abolish Cao Poshi, so that Situ's arrangement is empty, and he can also let His Majesty protect him in order to protect the Cao family, this mind and courage are not simple."

Yuan Shao smiled when he heard this, and said: "What Meng De said is good, this person is quite courageous, and he has also made great contributions in Saibei, he is a person in my generation, and he still needs to be included in the door, and he will use it for his own use." ”

Who would have thought that Xu You, who was on the side, hurriedly said: "Although this person has some skills, it is still not suitable to make friends with him at this moment!" ”

Yuan Shao was puzzled: "Why?" ”

"Originally, although Liu Jian of Zhuojun was a character, but he had just broken Situ's plan to destroy the Cao family, with Situ's position, he would not worry about him as a junior, after all, there was still Lu Zigan's face, but I expected Situ to be dissatisfied with that Liu Jian in his heart, and now Situ asked you and the highway to do the matter of collecting filial piety, and as soon as you turn your head, you will include the people he doesn't like into the door, but I am afraid that it will be unfavorable in the future! Aren't you afraid that Situ will be angry, and if there are good things in the future, all of them will turn to the highway? Or even to your eldest brother? ”

When Yuan Shao heard this, he instantly became a little hesitant.

Seeing this, Cao Cao hurriedly said: "The big husband should be decided, what is the reason for trivial matters?" The Cao family is already rootless, the disease of scabies is not enough to cause trouble, Situ can't destroy the thieves of the Cao family today, find another reason in the future, and it can be done! Besides, Liu Jian is Zheng Xuan's son-in-law after all, and the scholars of the ancient scriptures and the modern scriptures all respect him, if you make friends with him, it will definitely be beneficial and harmless to you in the beginning! ”

Xu You said on the side: "Mengde! Ben Chu was not a descendant at home, when it comes to resources, far inferior to his two brothers of the same root, over the years he has taken the risk to make friends with our party members, and finally got today's fame, Situ has to treat him differently, how can it be because of a son-in-law of Zheng Xuan, and it is a big thing! ”

"Not really!"

Cao Cao couldn't wait to slap Xu You at the moment, and he shut up: "Originally, you were also a broad-minded character, and you still acted according to Situ's eyes in everything?" I think that at the beginning, you made friends with Zhang Mengzhuo, He Boqiu and other party members, and Situ was not allowed in every way, but didn't you grit your teeth and persevere? Besides, Situ can't not use you, he still wants to use you to fight against ......"

Speaking of this, Cao Cao suddenly reacted to something and shut up.

He wanted to say, "Situ still wants to use you against your brother Yuan Ji."

But this was not said after all, after all, this is a matter of the Yuan family, and they are brothers of flesh and blood, so it is inconvenient for Cao Cao to speak out.

"It's different."

Finally, Fang listened to Yuan Shao slowly speak: "At the beginning, my brother had a low status in the door, taking a step forward like a mountain, taking a hundred steps back without a road, alone, without scruples, fighting to the death for the sake of prestige and future, it is understandable, but now it is ......."

Yuan Shao sighed and shook his head, he looked at Cao Cao and said, "Meng De, you should be the one who knows me best." ”

Cao Cao understood what Yuan Shao wanted to say.

What Yuan Shao wants to express is: It's just that now he Yuan Shao has become famous among the party, praised as a model in the world, has a foundation, has a reputation, and after Yuan Kui's support over the years, he has faintly become a representative of one of the forces in the Yuan family.

These things are not simple, especially the matter of making friends with the party, which is a desperate struggle for Yuan Shao.

Although with his identity, as long as Yuan Ji is still alive, or Yuan Kui's three sisters-in-law are still alive, it will be difficult for him to compete with the other party for the master of the Yuan family......

But in this world, who can guarantee that there will be no eventuality? Who can guarantee that he will live to the end of his life in peace?

When people are at the bottom of a circle, they dare to be desperate, dare to do anything with their lives, and desperately want everything.

But when a person finally struggles to get out of the bottom of this circle, how can he still act the same as he did at the beginning? Because he already has chips in his hand, he is not worthless at the beginning.

When he was young, he saw Yuan Shao slowly stretching out three fingers: "Wait for three months, let this Liu Jian wait for three months, and after three months, Yuan will personally go to his house and make friends with him!" ”

Xu You clapped his hands and said, "So good!" ”

Cao Cao didn't speak, and he felt a little uneasy in his heart.

A lot of things will happen in three months, you are so sure that this Liu Jian will not be ...... by Yuan Shu Even Yuan Ji, do you pry them to their side?
