After Yan Xiang was kicked out of the palace by Yuan Shu, he stayed in Shouchun. Yan Xiang was very clear about what Yuan Shu had done during this time. His intelligence was not low, and he had long clearly predicted that Yuan Shu's future would only be a dead end.

If it were someone else, it was very likely that they would have left Shouchun or sold Yuan Shu, and at the worst they would have found a place to live in seclusion. But Yan Xiang is different, he was born in a poor family, and he was picked up by Yuan Shu, without Yuan Shu, there would be no Yan Xiang today. Yan Xiang's loyalty to Yuan Shu was higher than anyone else's. Yuan Shu thought of him at the last moment, Yan Xiang was relieved, but a little sad, because he knew that Yuan Shu had no choice, so he thought of him.

Yan Xiang came to the palace dressed in civilian clothes, and under the gaze of the ministers, he knelt down to Yuan Shu and said, "Yan Xiang, a grass people, greets His Majesty Emperor Dacheng!" ”

"Hurry up. Ziming, I'm wrong to blame you. I will now restore your position and be promoted three levels in a row. Yuan Shu hurriedly said.

"Thank you, Lord Longne!" Yan Xiang said unhappily and sadly.

"Ziming, at present, the four anti-thieves are powerful, and Wang Shi has retreated to Shouchun, how can he retreat from the enemy. Is there a good solution? Yuan Shu hurriedly said the purpose of the day.

"The minister has been absent from the court for many days, I don't know what the current war situation is?" Although Yan Xiang knew a little about the recent war, he still wanted to know more about it.

It was impossible for Yuan Shu to tell the defeat in person, so he instructed Yang Hong to tell the battle situation one by one.

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister has no way to retreat from the enemy." After listening to Yang Hong's story, Yan Xiang didn't expect the situation to become so bad, and after thinking about it, he told the truth.

"You don't have a plan!" Yuan Shu was disappointed, isn't there any hope.

The ministers were also discussing, and the entire hall became disturbed.

Yan Xiang looked around for a week, and said expressionlessly: "There is no countermeasure to retreat from the enemy. However, there is a way to ensure that His Majesty is thorough. ”

The ministers were silent all of a sudden, while Yang Hong and Yuan Lian were thoughtful.

"Ji will be out?!" Yuan Shu was overjoyed.

"Your Majesty simply abdicates this throne. Throw the jade seal of the heavy treasure to Yuan Benchu, and ask for a place to live on Yuan Shao's side. Let Yuan Shao shelter His Majesty from the wind and rain, and wait until the time is ripe, and then plan for after-effects. Yuan Ben, the hero of the early generation, will definitely give His Majesty a small place for the sake of the jade seal of the country. Your Majesty can maintain wealth for a lifetime even if he is not poor. Yan Xiang said words that shocked everyone.

Jin Shang, the waiter of Dacheng Kingdom, jumped out, pointed at Yan Xiang and scolded: "Yan Ziming, you are still a high-ranking minister raised by Your Majesty." Your Majesty finally came to this position and became the Ninth Five-Year Supreme, how many ups and downs have you experienced along the way! But you instigated Your Majesty to abdicate, and you let the people of the world view Your Majesty. You are simply fatherless, ungrateful, and shameless. ”

"Then Lord Jin Shilang, what are your best plans to help Your Majesty solve the current difficulties?" Yan Xiang asked rhetorically.

"This ......," the squire Jin Shang was asked by Yan Xiang.

"Hmph. Full of benevolence and morality, he can only attack others, but he has no real talent and learning, and he is simply a corrupt Confucian. Your Majesty was delayed by the rotten Confucians. Yan Xiang fought back quietly.

Jin Shang was about to scold back, but was stopped by his companions, the other party's finger secretly pointed at Yuan Shu, Jin Shang turned his head and found that Yuan Shu was looking at him with an unkind face.

Jin Shang secretly screamed in his heart that it was not good, and Yuan Shu would definitely vent his recent unhappy mood on him. Jin Shang hurriedly prepared to deduct his head and apologize.

Before Jin Shang could react, Yuan Shu shouted: "Come on, push out this sinner who is in trouble, and behead him." ”

"Your Majesty spares your life." Jin Shang knelt down directly.

Yuan Shu's guards were too familiar with doing this kind of thing, and Yuan Shu generally didn't take it back when he opened his mouth, and they understood what they had to do.

Jin Shang was dragged out, and what the fate would be, the ministers knew very well in their hearts. The ministers felt a chill on their necks, and the bloody examples were in front of them, and they didn't dare to talk nonsense.

"Your Majesty, the eldest husband can bend and stretch. Since Your Majesty has the ambition of the world, why should you worry about the criticism of the world. Since ancient times, the winner is the king and the loser Kou, Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, was defeated and insulted by Xiang Yu many times, and he survived. Liu Bang relied on the spirit of bending and stretching to achieve the Han Dynasty, is Your Majesty still not as good as Liu Bang, who was born in the market? Your Majesty, please think again. Yan Xiang encouraged Yuan Shu again.

Yuan Shu closed his eyes and was silent for a while, he was thinking about the gains and losses, the pros and cons.

Yuan Shu was already at odds with Yuan Shao, and the contradictions between the two were known to everyone in the world, and now Yuan Shu wanted to put down his identity and go to Yuan Shao, but Yuan Shu couldn't open this knot. And even if he succeeds in going to Yuan Shao's side, it is difficult to guarantee whether Yuan Shao will do anything.

"What if you can't do something and can't do it again?" Yuan Shu opened his eyes and said.

Yan Xiang sighed and said, "If you can't do anything, Your Majesty will treat all this as a dream." ”

"Think of it as a dream!? Hehe, my Yuan Highway is in such a situation now. It's sad. Yuan Shu smiled bitterly.

"Ziming, even if Your Majesty goes to Hebei, Yuan Benchu is willing to accept it. However, the princes of the Four Roads are not eating dry food, and they will not let His Majesty leave easily. And what should Shouchun do here, as soon as Your Majesty leaves, Shouchun has no leader. Yang Hong said all the worries in his heart.

Yan Xiang said solemnly: "The Lu of the king of food, the worry of the king." The minister has prepared everything for His Majesty and his colleagues. As for Shouchun's precautions, I will leave it to the minister. ”

Everyone was subdued by Yan Xiang, which is a typical loyalty.

The corners of Yuan Shu's eyes were a little moist, Yan Xiang stayed in Shouchun, according to what he knew about Yan Xiang, what was the final outcome, Yuan Shu knew very well in his heart.

Thinking of his previous injustices to Yan Xiang, Yuan Shu suddenly felt very sorry for him, and said emotionally: "The country is in danger, and the truth is seen in adversity." I finally understood that only Ziming was my most loyal courtier. I have failed to do so. ”

Yuan Shu's words made the others feel ashamed, and they couldn't do as much as Yan Xiang could do for Yuan Shu.

Yan Xiang knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, it's best to prepare in advance now, if the princes of the four roads gather in Shouchun, Your Majesty will not be able to leave." ”

Yuan Shu felt the same, so he began to prepare to run away.

Yan Xiang designed an escape route for Yuan Shu, first going south to the Lujiang River, then turning halfway to Runan, then going north from Yingchuan, and then hiding in Luoyang, taking the opportunity to cross the Yellow River and reach Jizhou. During this period, Yuan Shu couldn't carry too many things, and his entourage couldn't have too many people. As for the other ministers, Yan Xiang divided them into several ways to escape, but they could see that Yan Xiang was asking them to cover for Yuan Shu, and although they were unwilling in their hearts, they didn't dare to speak out.

Yuan Shu saw that Yan Xiang had arranged it in such detail, and regretted even more why he didn't listen to Yan Xiang at that time.

Now that it has reached this point, Yuan Shu has no complaints.

Yuan Shu prepared quickly, and now that they are all on the run, there is nothing to bring, and even his son Yuan Yao, Yuan Shu also entrusted it to Yang Hong, hoping that he can bring Yuan Yao to Yuan Shao, so as not to be taken by a nest. The rest of the harem beauties, Yuan Shu doesn't care, women are like clothes, the old doesn't go and the new doesn't come, he still understands this truth.

Late at night, Shou Chuncheng ran out of several carriages and headed in several directions.

Yuan Shu lifted the curtain, looked at Shouchun City, which was slowly becoming farther behind him, sighed, and said, "It's just a dream." ”
