Chapter Eighty-Five: Rumors About the Sizhao Sword

Luoyang City, Taifu Mansion.

For Yuan Shao, with such an obedient and sensible maid by his side, Yuan Shao has no choice but to go out to do this or that thing, after all, for a person who has been fighting on the battlefield all year round, he is still the kind of woman who needs it more.

Therefore, Yuan Shao said somewhat innocently: "Uncle, what kind of rumors? You know, I haven't been out in the past few days. ”

"Hey......" Taifu Yuan Kui sighed, and then asked a little helplessly: "Is this sword you are wearing called the Sizhao Sword?" ”

Taifu Yuan Kui had already seen the saber on his waist as soon as Yuan Shao entered the door, the saber was shining with silver light, and the shiny scabbard was like a dragon, revealing a trace of domineering.

Although he hadn't really seen this sword unsheathed, Taifu Yuan Kui was anxious and already knew that the difference between this sword and this sword would definitely not be an ordinary sword.

Hearing this, Yuan Shao didn't expect his uncle to mention his saber, he shook the Sizhao Sword on his waist, and nodded at his uncle: "Yes, Sizhao Sword has followed me for many years, fought with me on the battlefield, and bloodied the enemy, just like my good brother." ”

"Hey...... Nephew, do you know what the rumors are spread by outsiders? Taifu Yuan Kui's face was a little bitter, and he looked at Yuan Shao with an extremely pale face.

"Could it be...... Something to do with my Calling Sword? Yuan Shao was stunned for a moment, and immediately associated these rumors with Sizhao Sword.

Taifu Yuan Kui nodded and said: "It is rumored by outsiders that the Seven-Star Dream Sword, the Sizhao Sword is unparalleled, and your Sizhao Sword can be compared with the legendary Seven-Star Sword." ”

"Hehehe...... Then they are quite discerning. When Yuan Shao heard this, his heart suddenly became happy, after all, this was also praising his Sizhao Sword.

"Nonsense, nonsense...... Do you know that the legendary seven-star sword is a treasure knife that only the Son of Heaven can have, and it is rumored outside that you are holding the Sizhao sword, just like holding the seven-star sword, and you want to claim to be the Son of Heaven, but it is a great rebellion, and everyone is afraid that you will raise an army to rebel and become a rebellious minister and thief who has lost his conscience. Taifu Yuan Kui said angrily, after all, this will damage the reputation of their Yuan family, not to mention, this kind of rumor will definitely reach the ears of the eldest prince Liu Bian, and I am afraid that it will be troublesome at that time.

"How is this possible?" When Yuan Shao heard this, he was immediately a little angry, he didn't expect that the people outside would actually describe him as a rebel and thief, which really made him angry.

In the first half of his life, almost all of his life was in the service of the Han Dynasty, which gave him today's fame, his current prestige, every war he fought was for the stability of the entire Han Dynasty, and if he wanted to say that he was selfish, it was only for the prestige of the Yuan family.

But from beginning to end, he never thought of betraying the Han Dynasty and betraying the whole world.

And now that his reputation has been damaged, he is really angry.

"Who the hell is spreading these rumors, let me know that I will definitely let him be torn into pieces." Yuan Shao shouted loudly.

"Nonsense." Taifu Yuan Kui was a little angry when he saw his nephew who couldn't hold his breath, in this case, the more flamboyant a person like him, the faster he would die.

"It's really nonsense, we don't want to find out who is spreading it now, after all, the whole city is going to talk about it now, if we go to investigate at this time, it will definitely make others think that we are afraid that we really have different intentions and are suspected of being weak-hearted." Taifu Yuan Kui reprimanded Yuan Shao, then looked at his nephew who was full of displeasure, and continued: "What we have to do now is not to cause dissatisfaction with His Royal Highness the Great Prince, after all, he is about to ascend the throne, and it will not be long before he becomes the Emperor of Heaven of the entire Han Dynasty, and we must not provoke his dissatisfaction." ”

"Hmph...... Uncle has been so low-key these days, I'm afraid it's just to please him! Hearing this, Yuan Shao felt a little unhappy in his heart, and thought that it was because of the eldest prince Liu Wei's suspicion of the Taifu Yuan Kui, which made him have to stay in the mansion all the time, although there was a little maid who loved him day and night, but he was still very depressed and not very free.

"Nephew." Taifu Yuan Kui reminded him and said cautiously: "Don't be so rude to His Royal Highness the Great Prince. ”

Subsequently, Taifu Yuan Kui said: "Although His Royal Highness the Great Prince is suspicious of us now, it is just because a large number of your soldiers and horses are outside the city at this time, and I am strong in the court, His Royal Highness the Great Prince has to worry about the two of us being together, but as long as we keep a low profile, after he ascends the throne, you return to Hebei, he will not have a problem with us as he is now, after all, I have also watched him grow up since childhood." ”

Hearing what his uncle said, Yuan Shao could only nod slightly: "In this case, I still won't go out these days, just wait in the mansion for a few days, and after His Royal Highness the eldest prince ascends the throne, I will immediately return to Hebei." ”

"Well, it's good that my nephew knows." Taifu Yuan Kui also nodded with satisfaction.

"By the way, uncle, when I go back...... Bring Xiao Er with you. Yuan Shao asked a little embarrassedly, after all, he is also a general, and he is tired of being with a maid every day these days, which is a bit of a loss of identity, but Yuan Shao thought about it and mentioned it to his uncle.

Hearing this, Taifu Yuan Kui was also stunned, and after thinking for a while, Taifu Yuan Kui still knew about the fact that Yuan Shao had called Xiao Er, a slightly beautiful maid, every day in the past few days, whether it was day or night, but he didn't stop it, after all, it was just a maid, so Taifu Yuan Kui slowly asked, "Take it back?" What about your wife? ”

Taifu Yuan Kui just wants to remind his nephew, that Xiao'er is just a maid, with a low status, just play for a few days, don't use true feelings, after all, your own wife in Hebei is your main room, don't make any big things out at that time.

Yuan Shao hurriedly said: "Uncle, don't worry, Xiao'er is just a maid, I will accept her as a concubine at most, and I will talk to her well on my wife's side." ”

Hearing this, Taifu Yuan Kui nodded and said no more.

However, at this time, a subordinate came in from outside the door and said to the Taifu Yuan Kui: "Master, Gonggong Jing is here, and the queen mother has issued an edict to General Yuan. ”

When Taifu Yuan Kui and Yuan Shao heard this, they immediately had some doubts in their hearts.

"Uncle, is this Father-in-law Jing a person?" Yuan Shao is usually far away in Hebei, and most of the people above the court are not very well understood, so he only knows some officials who often deal with his uncle.

"This father-in-law Jing is a big celebrity beside the queen, he has been following the queen's side for many years, and the queen's mother also trusts him very much." Taifu Yuan Kui explained that he and Empress He assisted the eldest prince Liu Wei in managing the government before, and he often passed this Gonggong Jing, so he was relatively familiar with him.

"Oooh...... This, this decree of the queen mother is for me? Is she looking for me? Yuan Shao was also stunned, glanced at his uncle, and then said, "Got it, let's go immediately." ”

Yuan Shao nodded, and the graceful figure of Queen He, as well as her delicate and beautiful face, gradually appeared in his heart, which suddenly made his heart tremble again.

I have dreamed of this beautiful woman several times at night, and even sometimes when I have family fun with Xiao Er in bed, I close my eyes and imagine Xiao Er as the noble, cold and elegant beautiful woman I am talking about in my heart.

Although many feudal ideas and rules restrain him from time to time, he thinks about it in his own mind, and it will always be fine, after all, others will not know.

Thinking of the beautiful woman he had fantasized about countless times in his heart, and gave himself a decree, Yuan Shao's heart was also a little excited.

"Uncle, let's go and have a look!" Yuan Shao said to his uncle.

"Well, let's go." Taifu Yuan Kui also wanted to know very much, what was Queen He doing for Yuan Shao at this time? Could it be related to the rumors that everyone in Luoyang City is talking about what they want to wear.

Thinking of this, Taifu Yuan Kui was a little worried in his heart.

But Yuan Shao didn't think about it so much, he was a little excited in his heart, and he walked out quickly with his uncle.

......

Taifu Yuan Kui and Yuan Shao came to the door of Taifu's mansion.

Gonggong Jing held Yizhi in both hands and waited quietly at the door of Taifu's mansion.

In fact, in the Han Dynasty, generally like these messengers who delivered the decree of His Majesty the Emperor or the decree of the Empress Niang, they could directly enter the official's mansion, and others could not stop it at will, because once blocked, it meant that they wanted not to accept the holy order, and they would definitely be severely punished.

But at this time, Gonggong Jing did not dare to enter the Taifu Mansion so directly, because by the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the imperial family was declining day by day, and the imperial power was gradually dispersed, so His Majesty's prestige had decreased a lot, and even some powerful officials could directly oppose His Majesty the Emperor, so even the envoys sent by His Majesty the Emperor or the Empress Niangniang to deliver the holy decree or the edict did not dare to break into the official's mansion so directly.

What's more, this is still Taifu Yuan Kui's mansion, unless he doesn't want to die, so he breaks in directly.

Therefore, he passed on Empress He's decree, but he could only wait patiently at the door of the Taifu Mansion, and did not dare to offend anyone in the Taifu Mansion, after all, the current Taifu Yuan Kui can't even be provoked by a big man like Xiangguo Dong Zhuo, and he is just a small eunuch.
