That night, Yuan Shu summoned a civil and military official to discuss the matter, and the discussion lasted until late at night.

Early the next morning, an astonishing news spread throughout Yuzhou.

The jade seal of the country, which had been missing for a long time, actually fell into the hands of Yuan Shu.

"Congratulations to Yuan Gong, congratulations to Yuan Gong, to be able to obtain such a strange treasure."

On top of the court discussion, a middle-aged scribe came out of the ranks, bowed to Yuan Shu, and said flatteringly.

The officials behind him hurriedly followed suit.

For a while, on the entire hall, the voices of congratulations continued.

Yuan Shu's smile was like a big chrysanthemum in full bloom.

While enjoying everyone's praise, he pretended to say "Where, where." ”

After a long time, the noise in the hall slowly calmed down.

Yuan Shu twisted his body to make himself more upright in his position.

He opened his mouth and asked: "Everyone, now that this heirloom jade seal has fallen into my hands, what do you think should be done?" ”

After Yuan Shu asked, he glanced at all the people present.

The hall, which was still a little loud just now, immediately became silent at this time.

Everyone craned their necks and didn't dare to say anything.

Yuan Shu's brows furrowed slightly.

Although the heirloom jade seal is a treasure, it is also a hot potato.

Yesterday night, I gathered a few people to discuss it all night, but there was no result of the discussion, and I didn't expect it to be like this early this morning.

After waiting for a while, no one spoke, and Yuan Shu's face immediately became a little gloomy.

Just when Yuan Shu's face was not good and he was about to speak, a middle-aged scribe suddenly came out of the ranks.

"Yuan Gong!"

Yuan Shu looked at the person who came out of the ranks, this person was not tall, his face was not angry and arrogant, and his whole body exuded a sense of righteousness.

This person's name is Yan Xiang, and he is an upright person.

It's just that this person doesn't know how to flatter, so he is not liked by Yuan Shu.

However, Yan Xiang has always been quite talented, and Yuan Shu also relied on him, so he had to appoint him as the main secretary.

Yuan Shu's brows furrowed slightly, and he immediately let go, making a pleasant appearance and saying:

"It turned out to be Lord Yan, what do you think, but it doesn't hurt to say it."

Yan Xiang clasped his hands into fists, looked at Yuan Shu and saluted slightly: "Duke Yuan should return this jade seal to the imperial court as soon as possible!" Demonstrate the loyalty of Yuan Gong. ”

Yuan Shu was a little angry in his heart, but he made a satisfied expression on his face and nodded slightly.

Yan Xiang is right. The fourth generation and the third duke of my Yuan family are all loyal and righteous people of the imperial court, and they should be like this, and they should be like this. ”

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of everyone in the hall were different.

Some of them were expressionless and even shook their heads slightly, they were all people who were called by Yuan Shu to discuss last night.

There are also some expressions of excitement, and most of these people are people who really care about the Han family.

After Yuan Shu finished speaking, his upper body leaned back slightly, his expression gradually calmed down, and his fingers lightly tapped on the small table in front of him, but he did not continue to speak.

Yan Xiang waited for a while, didn't hear Yuan Shu's words, and hurriedly spoke again.

"Yuan Gong is noble, and the jade seal symbolizes the power of the emperor, which has been lost for a long time. Why don't we return it to the court as soon as possible......"

There was a cold murderous intent in Yuan Shu's eyes, and it flashed away.

This Yan Xiang, just said that he wanted to send the jade seal away, and gave him a face, but he even dared to kick his nose in the face and force himself to return it as soon as possible in front of so many people.

"My lord." At this time, another middle-aged scribe stood up and spoke.

Yuan Shu turned his head to look over, and after seeing the faces of the people in the queue clearly, a smile appeared on Yuan Shu's face.

"Yang Hong, what's the matter with you?"

The middle-aged scribe was thin and had bright and cunning eyes.

Hearing Yuan Shu's question, he hurriedly bowed and saluted, and said with a smile on his face:

"Lord, Master Yan is right. However, Xia Guan was a little worried. ”

As soon as Yang Hong said this, everyone's attention was focused on him.

Yuan Shu raised his eyebrows even more, leaned forward slightly, and looked at Yang Hong with a light smile.

When Yang Hong saw Yuan Shu's appearance, he was proud in his heart, and said:

"The lord is full of loyalty, and the lord is loyal to the Han court with the heart of his fist, which can show the sun and the moon, needless to say."

Raising his eyebrows, he secretly glanced at Yuan Shu's satisfied expression, and Yang Hong continued:

"It is a matter of course for the lord to obtain this jade seal of the country by chance and return it to the imperial court. However......"

Speaking of this, Yang Hong suddenly stopped talking.

Yan Xiang on the side always listened with his ears pricked up, and couldn't help but ask, "But what?" ”

His question also raised a question common to others.

Yang Hong glanced at the eyes of everyone looking at him, and said proudly: "However, is the imperial court at this time really the imperial court of the Han family?" ”

As soon as the words fell, there was a sudden whispering sound in the hall.

Yan Xiang was immediately startled, his mouth closed tightly, and a thoughtful expression appeared on his face.

Yuan Shu was happy in his heart, but he still pretended to be puzzled and asked: "The imperial court is naturally the imperial court, why did Yang Hong say this?" ”

Yang Hong hurriedly bowed to Yuan Shu and said, "Lord Mingjian." It was the lower officials who did not make it clear. Since Dong Zhuo's rebellion in the Han Dynasty, the young emperor ascended the throne. Although the court is still nominally retained, in fact, it is completely covered by Dong Zhuo. ”

Yuan Shu nodded, and then asked, "You're right, it was Dong Zhuo who would be like this at that time." I still know Cao Cao, although he came from a humble background, he is also very cunning. However, this man has quite a legacy of his ancestors. ”

Yuan Shu said some more pertinent words for the first time, not noticing the strange eyes that everyone looked at him, Yuan Shu then spoke:

"Now, Emperor Han Xian was taken to Xu County by Cao Cao, and Cao Cao treated him with great courtesy, greeting him in the morning and evening, asking for instructions on everything, and all of them obeyed the law of etiquette. There are really some ministers of the Zhongxing Han Dynasty. ”

Yuan Shu's voice fell, and many officials in the hall nodded slightly.

Yingchuan is very close to them, so they can accept a lot of news over there, and the authenticity is also very high.

What Yuan Shufang said just now is no different from the facts.

Cao Cao's recent series of measures are indeed aimed at revitalizing the Han family, from Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty to the common people of Limin, all of whom applauded his actions.

However, just as whispers began to appear in the main hall, Yang Hong's voice raised an octave and sounded again.

"My lord is right. But I would like to ask the lord to think carefully, and there are also the princes in the list. At that time, when Dong Thief first entered Luoyang, wasn't it almost the same as the current Cao Cao? ”

After Yang Hong asked rhetorically, there was a buzz in the hall, and a noisy sound sounded.

Yuan Shu's eyebrows were also tightened, and his mouth was slightly closed.

A smug smile appeared on the corner of Yang Hong's mouth, and he continued: "That's exactly what Xia Guan wants to say. What Cao Cao is doing now is just to show the people of the world. Because he had just welcomed the return of Emperor Xian, he urgently needed to gain a lot of fame, which could facilitate his subsequent series of means and activities. But if you wait for him to ......"

When Yang Hong said this, he deliberately did not continue, but paused.

There were no stupid people present, and the words were already so obvious that if no one had understood yet, it would be a little abnormal.

Yuan Shu slowly sat up straight, what Yang Hong said had been discussed last night, so he didn't have any surprises.

But at this time, he suddenly thought of another question, and then asked.

"But now, the fact that I got this heirloom jade seal, the world still knows about it, and if I hide it in my hands privately, I am afraid that it will be criticized by the people of the world."

After Yuan Shu's question was raised, a whispering voice sounded below again.

Yan Xiang spoke again at this time: "Duke Yuan, it is precisely because of this that Duke Yuan should return the jade seal to the imperial court as soon as possible, so that not only can he gain a good reputation, but he can also throw this hot potato." ”

Yuan Shu was silent, he didn't know that returning the jade seal was the easiest way.

It's just that......

I thought about the ingenious jade seal, and the words engraved on it were ordered by the heavens, and the longevity of Yongchang.

Yuan Shu's heart suddenly churned with a burst of heat, and he was really reluctant to give this thing away.

While hesitating, Yang Hong's voice sounded.

"My lord, don't hand it over easily. Since this thing can be passed on to the lord, it means that this is the will of heaven......"

Yuan Shu's eyes lit up, and he straightened his back slightly, and was about to listen carefully to Yang Hong's words.

"Yang Hong, you need to bewitch Yuan Gong here. Now that the prestige of the imperial court is still there, if you say such a rebellious word, wouldn't you mislead Yuan Gong, and wouldn't you want Yuan Gong to fall into the situation that Qianfu pointed out. ”

Yan Xiang angrily interrupted Yang Hong's words, pointed at Yang Hong's nose and began to reprimand loudly.

Yang Hong and Yan Xiang have long had grievances, and at this moment, the other party suddenly became difficult, how could Yang Hong be humiliated.

hurriedly stepped forward and immediately fought back: "Yan Xiang, Hugh wants to be strong here." Now that the Han court has long existed in name only, he Cao Cao is just a courtier who coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes. On this jade seal, there are already engraved with the words "Ordered by Heaven", and the lord can obtain this thing, which does not mean that the lord is destined by heaven. But you are here to obstruct everything, what is your intention? ”

Yang Hongzhen lacks some talent and learning, but his kung fu is perfect.

On weekdays, it is precisely by figuring out Yuan Shu's mind that this is the case that Yuan Shu is thriving.

Yesterday night, he figured out Yuan Shu's thoughts.

Yuan Shu ostensibly wanted to discuss with everyone how to deal with this heirloom jade seal.

But in fact, he had already calculated in his heart that he wanted to leave this jade seal and ascend the throne as emperor in the future.

However, Yang Hong also understood that if Yuan Shu was called emperor at this time, it was too early.

Therefore, although he guessed Yuan Shu's thoughts, he didn't dare to say it directly, but adopted this obscure way of expression, on the one hand, he followed Yuan Shu's wishes, and on the other hand, he refused to say that rebellious suggestion.

In the Yuan Shu Group, there are not a few people similar to Yang Hong.

This is also thanks to Yuan Shu's great joy and his character of listening to slander, so there are many flatterers.

However, at the same time, under Yuan Shu's command, there are also antagonistic existences against this group of people.

They are loyal people who really care about the Han family, and for various reasons, they stoop to the command of Yuan Shu, but what they are worried about is the world of the Han Dynasty.

It is precisely because of the existence of this part of the people that Yuan Shu's power group will not be strong from the outside.

In Yuzhou, a territory surrounded by strong enemies, it has continuously developed and strengthened its strength.

Although Yuan Shu does not have the talent of a hero, he is not a mediocre person.

I also know a lot about these things.

At the same time, while reusing Yang Hong and his ilk, many talented people were also arranged in various important joints of the military and government.

This action is in line with the balance of the superiors.

This time, there are no exceptions.

As the leaders of the two forces spoke, the generals under their command were immediately divided into two factions.

Verbal attacks began, foaming and spitting.

For a time, the huge hall seemed to have become a vegetable market.

Angry shouts, mockery, and sneers were endless.

Yuan Shu tightened his brows with a headache, rubbed his temples, closed his eyes, and no longer paid attention to the quarrel in the hall.

He had gradually gotten used to this kind of noise, and if he didn't come to such a court meeting one day, he would feel abnormal.

Blinking his eyes, Yuan Shu automatically shielded the noise below.

Although his eyes looked ahead, he unconsciously remembered the heirloom jade seal made of beautiful jade.

The white color, the slippery touch, thinking of this, Yuan Shu's mind flew again.

Unconsciously, I remembered the group of beautiful girls in the back garden.

A fiery fire gradually emerged in my heart.

He looked in disgust at the people arguing in the main hall.

Yuan Shu shook his head, got up and left his seat.

He didn't greet anyone else at all, and walked out step by step.

After the court discussion, Yang Hong angrily walked towards the outside of the main hall.

As he walked, he was still cursing in a low voice.

When he walked to the gate of the official mansion, his own subordinates stepped forward.

"Master, why are you angry again? But Yan Xiang, that old man, and you are doing it again? ”

"Hmph, when is that old guy not going against me?" Speaking of Yan Xiang, Yang Hong's anger immediately rose again.

Carefully helped Yang Hong onto the carriage.

The waiter smiled and asked, "Master, let's go home?" Still is? ”

As he spoke, the waiter winked ambiguously at Yang Hong.

Yang Hong suddenly understood what the waiter meant, the corners of his mouth unconsciously curved upwards slightly, and an ambiguous smile appeared on his face.

"Then go to Nancheng Xiaocui's house, hahaha."

The waiter still had an ambiguous smile on his face, and secretly touched his mouth, where there was a heavy gold cake, and the smile on the waiter's face was deeper when he held the gold cake in his hand.

Putting away his smile, the waiter drove in the direction of Nancheng.

After a while, the carriage swayed to a mansion in the southern city.

It is in the middle of the city, and the mansion occupies a small area, but the layout of the door is very exquisite.

There were also two stout men guarding the door.

The market at the entrance is quite lively, and although it is not crowded, there are quite a few pedestrians.

The waiter who drove the car helped Yang Hong out of the carriage.

The two housekeepers who were guarding the gate of the mansion immediately came over and led the carriage down.

Yang Hong was about to walk towards the mansion, when the waiter next to him suddenly spoke:

"Master, what are you doing over there, there are so many people gathered around."

Yang Hong looked for prestige, and sure enough, he saw that not far from the street, there was a stall in front of which was particularly lively.

After looking at it twice, he didn't want to pay attention to it, but suddenly Yang Hong saw a flag erected next to the stall.

It was an ordinary white cloth flag.

On the top of the flag, a few lines of poetry are generally written on the ghost drawing symbol:

Criticize yin and yang to break the five elements, look at the sun and moon in the palm;

Measure feng shui and take the sleeve.

Heaven and earth know everything,

Yin and Yang gossip is clear about life and death.

When Yang Hong saw this flag, he immediately understood that this was a fortune-telling stall, and he didn't have the slightest good impression of these gods.

Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly paused, and after his eyes rolled twice, he glanced at the waiter next to him and raised his chin slightly.

The waiter understood, and hurriedly ran to the stall, and with his thin figure, he squeezed into the crowd in three or two clicks.

Yang Hong ignored him, turned around and entered the mansion.

Without lingering in the front yard, Yang Hong walked quickly to the backyard.

A smile appeared on his face, and even his steps became much lighter.

Not long after entering the backyard, a red-clothed figure suddenly appeared in front of Yang Hong's eyes.

The red figure is like a jumping elf, jumping smartly and happily.

Seeing the red figure appear, the smile on Yang Hong's face deepened, and his eyes showed a fiery color.

This is a young woman, wearing a red Luo skirt that looks better than snow.

Her delicate face was filled with a cheerful smile.

"Master, you can be regarded as coming, waiting for people to be so anxious."

The woman ran to the front in a few steps, kept walking, and threw herself directly into Yang Hong's arms.

After Yang Hong took the woman into his arms, his hands began to be dishonest subconsciously.

He also said with a smile: "Let me see, where is my little Cui'er waiting for the most anxious?" ”

"Oh, sir, you're so bad......" Xiao Cuijiao's voice was sweet and sultry.

Yang Hong not only didn't feel awkward when he heard it, but looked very useful.

Just when the two of them were tired of being together, suddenly a voice came from outside the courtyard gate.

"Sir!"

Yang Hong's face sank, and he was faintly displeased.

It was also the waiter's voice that could be heard, Yang Hong let go of Xiao Cui in his arms, walked to the pavilion in the backyard and sat down.

"Come in and talk."

Xiaocui entered the house very obediently, and after a while, she brought some pastries and tea.

Gently placed in front of Yang Hong, she herself walked around behind Yang Hong and kneaded her shoulders for him.

Yang Hong sat there, comfortably enjoying the beautiful woman's considerate service.

Squinting at the waiter who had approached him, he hummed a syllable from his nose.

The waiter understood, and hurriedly said, "My lord, that's a fortune teller." His name is Zhang Yong, and he is very famous in the southern city of our Shouchun, and is called Zhang Daxian by the common people......"

Yang Hong snorted coldly after hearing this, he was very uninterested in this kind of person, so he naturally didn't have a good impression when he heard the name Zhang Daxian.

"Zhang Daxian?" The delicate voice came from behind Yang Hong, and it was the woman named Xiaocui.

Yang Hong couldn't help but open his eyes: "Oh? Xiao Cui has also heard of this person? ”

Xiao Cui's hand didn't stop, and he said, "Master, this Zhang Daxian is amazing. ”

Yang Hong raised his eyebrows and nodded noncommittally.

As if knowing what Yang Hong was thinking, Xiao Cui stopped kneading her hands and came to Yang Hong.

Slowly squatted down, and two small hands gently beat Yang Hong's legs, and then he spoke: "This Zhang Daxian is amazing." It is particularly famous in our southern city, and it is said that there is nothing he can't afford. ”

Yang Hong was still a little disbelieving, and reached out to stroke Xiao Cui's hair.

Seeing that Yang Hong still didn't believe it, Xiao Cui's small mouth was stubborn, and her big flickering eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of mist.

Yang Hong asked suspiciously, "What's the matter, Xiaocui?" Why is it like this? ”

Xiao Cui half-lowered her head, just enough for Yang Hong to see half of her little face, and her white teeth bit her lower lip aggrievedly, without saying a word.

Seeing this, Yang Hong reluctantly pulled Xiao Cui up, hugged him into his arms, raised a hand, and motioned for the waiter who was still on the side to withdraw at the moment.

Seeing this, the waiter hurriedly bowed his head and left here.

"Xiaocui, what's wrong? It's just a fortune teller, believe it or not, how can you still make you look like this? Yang Hong hugged Xiaocui and asked softly.

Xiao Cui pouted, and then said: "This Zhang Daxian is still Xiao Cui's benefactor. ”

Yang Hong looked at Xiao Cui in surprise, and he could see that Xiao Cui was not lying.

Xiaocui continued: "One year, there was a drought near Shouchun, and there was no rain for several months, and even the river dried up. ”

Yang Hong nodded, he knew about this matter.

He didn't say anything, and continued to look at Xiao Cui, waiting for her to continue.

There was mist in Xiao Cui's eyes again, and there were still a lot of painful looks in them, as if there were many pasts that he didn't want to mention.

Yang Hong felt something in his heart and gently patted Xiaocui's shoulder to show encouragement.

Xiao Cui calmed her breath and continued to speak: "That year, there were many children in our family, and there was really nothing to eat. The father and Uncle Wang discussed exchanging the youngest child with the people of the neighboring village......"

"Easy to eat." Yang Hong's heart sank.

I've heard of many stories of poor people who changed their children and ate in the year of calamity, but I have always thought that it was an exaggerated concoction.

I didn't expect such a tragic thing to happen.

When Xiao Cui said this, she couldn't cry anymore, relieved her emotions for a while, and then said: "Zhang Daxian happened to be passing by, and after hearing about the incident, let the people from several nearby villages gather. When he opened the altar, he immediately asked for rain, and at the same time taught us how to find food in the mountains. A lot of people survived. My little sister survived. ”

After hearing this, Yang Hong looked at Xiao Cui in surprise, and looked carefully for a long time, only then did he determine that Xiao Cui's words were not lies.

This Xiaocui is the woman he brought into the house some time ago, and he also sent someone to inquire about the situation at home after that, so he also knows some of the things that Xiaocui said, but it is not so detailed.

Yang Hong's eyes rolled, and he said, "In this way, this Zhang Feng really has some ability." Maybe I'll be able to help me for a while. 21 Baidu read the latest chapter of "Lu Bujie's Literature of the Three Kingdoms" for free for the first time.
