"Lord, do you think reputation is important or strength is important?"

Yuan Shu replied without hesitation:

"Of course it's strength...

Wait, Wen He means that we don’t need to pay attention to the matter of Yuan Shao tainting my reputation?"

Jia Xu nodded and smiled:

“What the lord said is, but not all.

According to Xu's opinion, although the lord's political achievements in Nanyang were outstanding, it also touched the sensitive nerves of many people in the court.

After all, now the Han Dynasty is full of people living in poverty. Why is it that Nanyang is a paradise? Are officials everywhere idiots?

In this case, it is beneficial for the lord to come to Luoyang to sue the lord, which can make many lords and ministers let go of their vigilance against the lord.

Therefore, we don’t have to pay attention to this matter at all, we just need to make good officials in the court.

Xu said something disrespectful. Could it be that if they didn’t slander the lord, would the lord have a reputation?

The lord’s name is “the fierce ghost on the road”, but it has always been deeply rooted in people’s hearts.”

After listening to Jia Xu's analysis, Yuan Shu felt it made sense, so he nodded in agreement and asked again:

"Since that's the case, the students of Luoyang Academy are discredited by me, will I ignore it?"

Jia Xu pondered for a moment and said:

"Lord, Yi Xu's understanding of your brother Yuan Shao is not like his style of conduct.

The reason why he could do this was that there must be someone behind him to support him, thus achieving some ulterior motive.

Although the lord is not afraid of stigma, the talent and reputation that has been passed down cannot be easily discarded.

As the saying goes, there is clear and turbidity. Only when everyone praises and criticizes the lord, can the lord be invincible.

Therefore, this is the famous lord who must strive for.

Jia Xu dared to ask, was the lord's name misrepresented by the people or did he have real talent and knowledge?

I also ask the lord to tell you the truth and make the next plan for you."

Yuan Shu could hear that Jia Xu's question was already very tactful. Didn't he just want to know if he had copied other people's works?

It’s right that I copied it myself, but no one can tell me about it. I can think of it as writing it myself.

So he replied with a slightly red face:

"Wenhe, those poems are indeed written by me, and it will not be a problem for me to write ten or eight poems."

When Jia Xu heard that Yuan Shu was so powerful, he quickly smiled and said:

"My Lord is indeed a stunning talent.

That's the case, it's easy to do.

These students from Luoyang Academy slandered their lords for plagiarism. The lord might as well come to compete with them personally for their literary talent.

In this way, not only will their insulting words in the lord be self-defeating, but their lord's talent and reputation can also be improved."

After hearing Jia Xu's plan, Yuan Shu swept away the anxiety haze before, patted Jia Xu's shoulder and smiled:

"Sir, the clever plan can really relieve my worries, so I did what the clerk said!"

...

At this time, there were crowds of people in front of the Cai Mansion, and dozens of students from Luoyang Academy protested loudly here.

"Let everyone Cai come out, we want to see everyone Cai!"

"Yes, although we respect everyone Cai as a great scholar in the world, his disciple Yuan Shu openly plagiarized our works, and we will never tolerate it!"

"That's it! The work is our life. Yuan Shu plagiarizes our hard work and takes our lives!"

"Let everyone Cai come out and explain to us!"

“…”

The students of these academy were very excited. No matter how kind-hearted the officials and servants of the Cai family advised them, they could not calm down.

The housekeeper of Cai’s family advised with great sincerity:

"All the talents, our master is really out and has not returned. Please let everyone go back first?
