Chapter 172: An Youhou (Second Update)
After Yuan Xi returned to the Assassin's Mansion, in the distant Yecheng, Yuan Shao finally received the news of Zhen Mi's pregnancy, and was immediately overjoyed, and immediately summoned the second son, the ministers, this is the first grandchild of their Yuan family!
"Congratulations to Dad"
"Congratulations to my lord"
After knowing the situation, although Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang were envious and jealous, they still immediately took Wenwu to congratulate the excited Yuan Shao, some time ago they wanted to snatch Zhao Yun, but they didn't know what went wrong, not only did they not succeed, but they were reprimanded and warned, and now if they don't take the initiative, they are estimated to be scolded again.
The corners of Yuan Shao's mouth bloomed with a smile, and he said loudly: "Xi'er, exterminate Zhang Yan, protect the territory and the people, and defeat Wuyan in Youzhou, and win the victory of the Guangyuan Plain War, especially for the descendants of the Yuan family, incense has made a great contribution, three times into one, a certain will play the Son of Heaven and give him the title of marquis"
Wenwu was shocked, and Yuan Shang and Yuan Tan both had wry smiles on the corners of their mouths, how can they be qualified to be crowned marquis in the battle of destroying Zhang Yan and Guangping, the key is that Zhen Mi is pregnant, which makes Yuan Shao happy, but at this time they are not good at saying anything, who called his woman's belly not angry, and she is not pregnant yet.
"Lord, the marquis is too heavy! The second son's military exploits don't seem to be enough, so it's better to reward him with money."
I saw Tian Feng stand up anxiously, and hurriedly stopped, what Yuan Xi needs now is to silently accumulate strength, not such a false name, which has no other effect at all except to attract everyone's attention.
"Is it heavy? Shang'er, can you talk about it? Yuan Shao did not answer Tian Yu, but looked at Yuan Shang, who was canonized as a loyal and filial marquis on his birthday that day.
Yuan Shang suddenly wanted to vomit blood in a depressed mood, his position was the same as this, he was forced, just because that title made him lose the position of the son.
"I don't have an opinion, the second brother is definitely qualified" Yuan Shang was bitter in his heart, and forced a smile on his face.
"What about Tan'er?" Yuan Shao looked at Yuan Tan with stern eyes again.
"No," Yuan Tan hurriedly said, he had been ordered by Yuan Shao to rush to Qingzhou next year, and if he wanted to oppose it now, it was estimated that he would have to go over this year.
Tian Feng smiled bitterly, turned his head to look at the civil and military next to him, everyone saw his gaze, and immediately lowered their heads, isn't it just a title, Yuan Shang has been canonized without any military merits, not to mention Yuan Xi, who still has military merits, this is just a reputation.
"The lord, the marquis can also be feuded, but Feng suggested that the lord should be treated equally, and the eldest son, as the eldest son, should also be canonized"
Tian Feng had no choice but to distract himself, if Yuan Tan was also made a marquis, then all three sons would be the same, and there would be fewer people who paid attention to Yuan Xi.
When Yuan Tan heard this, his face suddenly showed a trace of gratitude, he did have this idea in his heart, after all, he had two younger brothers, and his eldest brother was still a general, so it was too embarrassing.
"What Lord Tian said is extremely true, the Lord is fair to the north, the merit covers the world, and the descendants should be crowned marquis" Guo Tu immediately stood up and supported.
The other civil and military officers all smiled bitterly, this marquis has become a cabbage, but the neutral people don't want to offend Yuan Tan, and Yuan Shang's people are also at a loss, because Yuan Shang made a start, had no military achievements, and was also made a marquis.
Yuan Shao looked at Yuan Tan with a hint of longing on his face, and after hesitating for a moment, he felt that he really couldn't ignore his eldest son like this, and said softly: "Tan'er, you are filial piety, and you have made many suggestions to stabilize Yecheng and make a lot of contributions to the unification of the north.
"Thank you, father" Yuan Tan immediately bowed down gratefully, as for what kind of hope, it is all official words, their Yuan family has long been self-contained, and the Son of Heaven has no deterrent effect on their family at all, Cao Cao is now conscripting Yuan Shu, naturally he will not easily offend Yuan Shao, otherwise Yuan Shang's title will not fall so easily.
Seeing this scene, Tian Feng immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
。。。。。。。。
Time passed slowly, in the blink of an eye, it was the eve of Chinese New Year's Eve, I saw that this night, the temperature was a little cold, but it was still in the acceptance range, Jixian City was obviously much quieter, merchants closed their doors, people returned home, except for the city patrol soldiers who were still taking turns to hold the night, there were few pedestrians on the street,
In the Thorn Shi Mansion, where the lights are still bright, Yuan Xi is also arranging the last day of work today, tomorrow is Chinese New Year's Eve, and he will enter the New Year with his Wen Wu.
"Xueping, hard work" In the inner hall, Yuan Xi looked at the slightly tired frustrated Hu who was preparing for the Chinese New Year's Eve feast and New Year's greetings, and said softly.
"Childe is serious, this is what Hu should do" Frustrated Hu smiled slightly.
Yuan Xi nodded, then looked at a weak young man standing next to Fu Hu, and said in a more gentle tone: "You'an, tomorrow you will represent your father at the table."
You'an is Yan Fang's word, after Yan Fang came over, he was arranged to work as Gong Cao, belonging to the government affairs hall, and learning with Fu Hu, he should have inherited his mother's characteristics, thin body, fair skin, delicate mind, love literature, without the body of his father and late eldest brother, and the temperament of a military general, which is why Yan Rou arranged him to Yuan Xi's side, one is as a proton, and the other is afraid that something will happen to him, after all, although he can't inherit the Liaoxi Army, he Yan Rou only has this one son.
"Put, on behalf of my father, thank Gongzi for your kindness" Yan Fang said with gratitude to Shi Li, Yan Rou did not arrive, but Yuan Xi did give up the first position of the general, which shows the love for their father and the entire Yan family.
"It should be" Yuan Xi smiled and said, "It's not too early, let's go back!" Get a good night's sleep tonight, tomorrow might be even more tiring"
"No!"
After the two left, they saw Pang Tong walking in slowly, and said with some regret on his face: "Meet the son"
"I know the matter, bury it thickly, and give his family enough pension" Yuan Xi said softly, just today, Zhu Yan and Cheng Tong fought again, and both died without hardship, and the entire military department and yamen were sad for it, regretting the talents of the two, but of course the truth is not like this.
"Gongzi Xie" Pang Tong gave a salute.
"Shi Yuan, do you think Xi is too cruel?" asked Yuan Xi.
Pang Tong shook his head and sighed: "No, in fact, after Gongzi said it, he still talked to them, hoping to give them one last chance, but the two have completely deviated and are too persistent, once the two of them take power in the future, the military department will inevitably be turbulent, and even various departments"
A hint of relief flashed in Yuan Xi's eyes, and he slowly stood up, "It's right that you can think so, the military secretary, the secret cabinet, the government affairs hall, the three-legged stand, no one can overstep their authority, when Xi is there, with prestige, they don't need their innovation, and even the next few generations don't need it, Xiao Gui Cao Sui, it's completely enough, as for the back, it depends on the descendants themselves, no matter how much it happens at that time, Xi can't control it"
"Childe is wise," Pang Tong admired.
Yuan Xi smiled slightly, "Don't talk about this, it's Chinese New Year's Eve soon, every festive season, Shiyuan also misses his family a little"
"It's okay" Pang Tong smiled bitterly, this is thousands of miles away from Jingzhou, even if you want to go back, it is impossible.
"It's inconvenient to go back, you can write a letter!"
"No, when Tong left, he had already said that he would personally follow the army south to Jingzhou one day, and it would not be too late to meet at that time" A trace of arrogance flashed on Pang Tong's face.
"I see, well, if Xi can succeed in the future, he will personally lead a million army to conquer the land of Jingyang," Yuan Xi promised loudly.
"Gongzi Xie" Pang Tong's eyes showed emotion.
"Childe!" At this time, Han Yanxiao ran in at a brisk pace, with a deep joy on his face.
"What's the matter, Zipei, so happy" Yuan Xi asked curiously.
"Yu Gongzi, Ye Cheng replied, after the lord knew that his wife was pregnant, he was overjoyed, and directly gave the word Xianyong, and in order to commend the achievements of the prince during this time, he specially played the son of heaven and gave the son the title of Marquis of An You, which is the second title in the entire north" Han Yan said excitedly.
"An Youhou" Yuan Xi couldn't help frowning, and said seriously: "This is not a good thing, it is estimated that my two brothers are going to target me again"
"Childe doesn't have to worry at all, the eldest prince has also been canonized as the Marquis of Qingyuan, and the three brothers of Childe are all marquises," Han Yan said with a smile.
"The eldest brother was also canonized, what's going on" Yuan Xi was a little surprised.
"This is all the credit of Lord Tian, son, please see" Han Yan took out another bamboo slip hidden in his pocket.
Yuan Xi hurriedly took it, and after reading it, he sighed with a look on his face: "I can get Uncle Tian's service, it's really a blessing from God!" ”
Pang Tong also immediately looked at the bamboo slips, nodded appreciatively, and said: "Lord Tian is wise, since he can't stop it, he will distract his attention, so this position, the son will not only take it easily, but also will not cause the jealousy of the other son."
Yuan Xi nodded, looked at the two of them and said, "Immediately go to the book to thank you."
"No, Master Hou" Han Yan and Pang Tongyi replied together.
Hearing this title, Yuan Xi was stunned for a moment, and then laughed.
