Chapter 31: Yuan Shu's Reward
When Yuan Yao learned from Ji Ling that Cao Cao had led his troops and horses to pursue Dong Zhuo, he was also deeply sorry. In Yuan Yao's memory, he vaguely remembered that Cao Cao's pursuit seemed to have failed this time, and it was Cao Cao's failure in this pursuit that made Cao Cao see through the essence of the Eighteen-Way Princes' Alliance, and then the Eighteen-Way Princes' Alliance was disbanded and each returned to its own territory.
But these are all later words, after Yuan Shu's anger calmed down slightly, Yuan Yao just approached Yuan Shu and said to him: "Father, what do you guess I found in Luoyang?" ”
"What?" Although Yuan Shu's anger had not subsided at this time, his attitude towards Yuan Yao was much better. And when Yuan Yao informed Yuan Shu of his harvest in Luoyang City this time, Yuan Shu was stunned.
When Yuan Yao took Yuan Shu, Ji Ling and Yan Xiang to the place where he stored the four or five thousand volumes of books, Yan Xiang looked at the books that were placed by Yu Shi at will, which was painful, and scolded Yu Shi on the spot, and then held those books and refused to let go.
Yuan Shu is quite restrained, and there are a lot of books in the Yuan family in Runan, Yuan Shu, as the sister-in-law of the Yuan family in Runan, has naturally seen the collection of the Yuan family in Runan, but after all, it is the collection of the Yuan family in Runan, not Yuan Shu's own. And now these books that have been brought back by Yuan Yao can be said to be Yuan Shu's, which makes Yuan Shu how can he not be excited.
It's just that Yuan Shu still had a few doubts in his heart, and asked Yuan Yao, "Yao'er, are you sure that these books were all rescued by you from Dongguan and Cai Zhonglang's mansion?" ”
Yuan Shu also deliberately accentuated his tone on the saving word, as if he wanted to determine whether the source of these books was really as Yuan Yao said.
Yuan Yao knew that Yuan Shuhui was suspicious, and immediately said with a smile: "Father, do you think I will lie to you about this kind of thing?" If you still don't believe it, you can ask General Yu She, you can always believe his words. ”
Yuan Shu turned his head to look at Yu She, and Yu Shi also nodded fiercely at this time, indicating that what Yuan Yao said was true.
Yuan Yao also said to Yuan Shu at this time: "Father, if there is a big chaos today, if these books are left in Luoyang, I am afraid there will not be much left, why don't we transport these books back to Nanyang or Runan, and wait until the world is peaceful in the future, and when Your Majesty is still in Luoyang, we will return these books to Your Majesty and Cai Zhonglang, I don't know what my father thinks?" ”
Listening to Yuan Yao's words, Yuan Shu was thrilled. What Yuan Yao said revealed was that they would transport these four or five thousand volumes back to their own territory first, otherwise if they stayed here in Luoyang, if the other princes found out that Yuan Shu suddenly had so many more books in his hands, it would inevitably be divided by the other princes, which was not Yuan Shu's will.
As for what Yuan Yao said about waiting until the world is peaceful before returning these books to Emperor Han and Cai Yong, Yuan Shu should have never heard of them, and he will copy them all in the future, send the original back, and keep the copies by himself. But that is also a last resort, if he can, Yuan Shu will not let these books out of his hands.
Taking a few deep breaths, calming down his mood, and suppressing the restlessness in his heart, Yuan Shu said to Yan Xiang: "Zixuan, these books will be handed over to you, don't leak a little rumor out, and we will return to Nanyang in a few days." ”
Zixuan is Yan Xiang's word, after hearing Yuan Shu's order, Yan Xiang also knew that this matter was very important, if the news of so many books in his own hands leaked out, it would not be able to be saved, as a scholar, Yan Xiang naturally would not let such a thing happen to him.
After thinking about it for a while, Yan Xiang said to Yuan Shu: "Lord, if the situation in Luoyang is unstable and the princes from all walks of life are unpredictable, the lord still needs to sit here, but these books can't stay here for a long time, and his subordinates implore the lord to send someone to transport these books back to Luyang first." In this way, even if the other princes knew that so many books were in our hands, and these books had also arrived in Luyang, it would be impossible for them to snatch them. ”
"Hmm!" Yuan Shu thought for a moment and nodded: "Zixuan, this matter will be entrusted to you, I will let Chen Lan and Lei Bo listen to your arrangement, and be sure to send all these books back to Luyang safely, and there will be no loss." ”
"Don't worry, my subordinates will definitely send all these books back to Luyang safely."
After instructing Yan Xiang to secretly transport all the four or five thousand volumes of books that Yuan Yao got out of Luoyang back to Luyang, Yuan Shu looked at Yuan Yao and asked with a smile: "Yao'er, this time you got so many books from Luoyang City, it can be said that it is a great achievement, if you want anything, just tell your father, and your father will definitely promise you." ”
Yuan Yao's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said, "Father, do you really agree to whatever I want?" ”
Seeing Yuan Yao ask like this, Yuan Shu suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart, but the words he said were like water spilled, and he couldn't take them back. Yuan Shu could only bite the bullet at this time and said: "That's right, whatever you want for your father, I will promise you, as long as my father can get it." ”
In the end, Yuan Shu still added a little condition, as long as he could get it, he would get it to Yuan Yao, but on the contrary, if Yuan Yao who he couldn't get it wanted him, he couldn't do it.
Yuan Shu had already thought about it, and if Yuan Yao made any too harsh requests, he would use this reason to prevaricate the past. Although this is a little uncomfortable for his son, Yuan Shu understands that since his son has a serious illness, he can no longer be viewed with common sense.
Just like entering Luoyang City this time, all the princes, including himself, were busy fighting fires, but Yuan Yao's purpose was very clear, at the beginning, he went straight to Dongguan and Cai Yong's mansions, because in Luoyang City, these two places have the largest collection of books.
Yuan Shu also once doubted whether Yuan Yao had expected it a long time ago, so he asked himself about the location of Dongguan and Cai Yong's mansion in Luoyang City. But at that time, when Yuan Yao asked Yuan Shu about the location of Dongguan and Cai Yong's mansion, he also inquired about many famous buildings in Luoyang City, and covered up his true thoughts. Therefore, Yuan Shu's suspicion was only fleeting, and it did not stay in Yuan Shu's heart for too long.
After receiving Yuan Shu's promise, Yuan Yao couldn't help but look happy on his face, and blurted out: "Father, I want a weapon to take advantage of." ”
"Weapons?" Yuan Shu and Ji Ling glanced at each other, and they both saw the strange look in each other's eyes, and then Yuan Shu asked Yuan Yao, "Yao'er, are you sure?" Give you another chance for the Father. ”
