"Can anyone tell me what this rumor is about?"

In the side hall of the General's Mansion, Yuan Shao sat on the main seat, stroking the thick beard on his chin, and his face was very calm.

Yuan Shang, who heard this, glanced around, and there were very few people who sent it down, all of them were important ministers in the house, Tian Feng, Xun Kan, Judge, Guo Tu, Xu You, Feng Ji, and adding one of them, it was obvious that Yuan Shao didn't want to make things too big, and the so-called family ugliness should not be publicized.

"Feng is in charge of the Yecheng Yamen, and he failed to stop this rumor, which made people insult the second son, please punish the lord" Tian Feng stood up first.

"What I want to know now is not this, but whether this rumor is true or false" Yuan Shao slapped the desk with a serious gaze.

"My lord, maybe the second son is a little relaxed, but it shouldn't be as serious as rumored."

"You can send someone to Youzhou to check," Xu You said softly.

Hearing the word check, Yuan Shao raised his eyebrows, looked at Yuan Shang, who had been keeping his head down, and said, "Shang'er, what do you think?" ”

Yuan Shang's pupils shrank, but he still replied immediately: "My son doesn't know the specific situation, so I can't make a judgment, but even if it's true, I ask my father to open up to the second brother."

When Yuan Shao heard this, his face suddenly showed a trace of disappointment, these words seemed to be maintenance, but they did identify Yuan Xi's spending and drinking, and he was absurd.

"Lord, in fact, it's not a big problem at the moment! Even if the second son is like this, it has not affected the civil affairs of Youzhou," Xun Kan comforted.

"That's because Shao deliberately left Han Yan in Youzhou back then" Yuan Shao said in a loud voice, Han Yan knew very well that when he was still frustrated, he recommended him many times, when he conscripted Youzhou, the other party's internal affairs talent has always made him attach great importance to it, the reason why he didn't take it away is to stabilize the situation at the time, and second, he also wanted to keep it for his son, but he didn't expect it to work now.

"No matter what the situation is, let's control the rumors first, if the turmoil expands, it will be very bad for the reputation of the second son," Xu Yu continued.

"When this Feng came, someone had already been sent to deal with it," Tian Feng said.

"Secretly send someone to ask Han Yan, you know, did this bastard win two battles, and if he sealed a marquis, he really fell" A trace of anger flashed in Yuan Shao's eyes.

"No!"

After the ministers left, Yuan Shang was left alone, looking at Yuan Shao with sharp eyes, and he was a little apprehensive in his heart.

"Shang'er, did you do this" After a moment of silence in the hall, Yuan Shao suddenly asked.

Yuan Shang was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "Of course not, how could you harm the second brother like this?"

Yuan Shao looked at Yuan Shang's expression, and after seeing that he didn't look like a lie, he said softly: "For the importance that your father attaches to you, you should know very well that your eldest brother went to Qingzhou, your second brother went to Youzhou, only you stayed in Yecheng, do you understand the intention of doing this for your father?" ”

"I understand, thank my father for his love," Yuan Shang said gratefully.

"Now that you understand, then my father asks you, is it an ambitious, ambitious second brother who makes you happy, or a second brother who enjoys women, wine and meat makes you happy" Yuan Shao suddenly showed a smile at the corner of his mouth.

Yuan Shang was stunned, not knowing how to answer.

"Think it out for yourself!" Yuan Shao waved his hand lightly.

"Nuo" Yuan Shang turned around and walked just a few steps, Yuan Shao suddenly said: "Shang'er, Han Yan, you don't have to think about it, it was specially left for Xi'er for his father."

Yuan Shang was shocked, and hurriedly turned around and gave a salute, "I understand"

After Yuan Shang got out of the side hall, Feng Ji, who had been waiting, hurriedly walked over and said with concern: "Son, what did the lord say?" ”

Yuan Shang shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Father is not only not angry, but I can feel the joy in his heart"

"What?" After Feng Ji's eyes flashed, he immediately congratulated: "It seems that the lord is most concerned about the son, the second son performed well some time ago, which made the lord a little worried, and now that this matter has come out, it makes him breathe a sigh of relief."

"That's true, in fact, I'm the same as my father, if the second brother is just addicted to and enjoying beauty, he will never care, and he will even be greatly rewarded in the future, and it is not a problem to raise a rich and glorious idler in the world" Yuan Shang said seriously.

"Childe is benevolent" Feng Ji patted a dismount and said: "When our people come back, if this is the case, Childe, you will say a word for the second son"

"I understand," Yuan Shang smiled slightly.

。。。。。。。。

A few days later, in the Youzhou Thorn Mansion, two urgent items were placed in front of Yuan Xi, one was sent by Tian Feng, and the other was secretly passed to Han Yan.

"Haha, I'm not afraid of him doing it, I'm afraid that he has been hiding" Yuan Xi looked at Li Ru, Pang Tong, and Han Yan in front of him and said with a smile.

"Beauty, laziness, and waste of government affairs, these are not problems at all in the eyes of Yuan Gong's father, he originally gave a state as compensation, to be honest, some time ago, Yuan Gong was very happy, but he was probably worried that the son would participate in the battle for the son" Li Ru said.

"That being said, Gongzi's reputation in Yecheng has also been ruined," Han Yan said with some concern.

"Reputation is indeed important, but strength is more important, Lord Tian recognized this, so he would rather completely destroy the reputation of the son, than let those who have a heart do tricks again, Confucianism agrees very much, this step, what happens in Youzhou in the future, Yecheng will think that Zipei is credited, and the son will get the greatest protection" Li Ru appreciated.

"This really makes Yan ashamed, Youzhou can have the current situation, Yan didn't contribute much at all" Han Yan smiled bitterly, this matter suddenly raised his reputation by several levels

"Zipei, don't be modest, Han Gaozu has three masters, and Xi also has it, you are Xiao He of Xi, this reputation is what you deserve" Yuan Xi said in a soft tone.

Han Yan's face showed a hint of emotion, and he clenched his fists: "Thank you, Childe, Na Yan is ready to draft the workpiece."

"Just write, don't have any worries, show me when you're done," Yuan Xi comforted.

"No!"

"Shiyuan, why don't you speak?" At this time, Li Ru looked at Pang Tong, who was not speaking, and suddenly asked with a smile.

A cold light flashed in Pang Tong's eyes, "There is no doubt that the one who wants to harm the son this time is Cao Cao's side, maybe it is the ghost talent, since he has made a move, if he doesn't cut off his three taels of flesh, wouldn't he be bullying the son and no one"

"Haha" Looking at Pang Tong who was not admitting defeat, Yuan Xi admired it very much: "Then what do you say?" ”

"Since you have already defiled yourself, then simply be thorough and expand the message to Gongzi because of Yecheng's message, he is about to rebel and send troops to Jizhou at any time" Pang Tong said loudly.

Li Ru immediately smiled appreciatively, "Excellent, but after Zipei's piece arrives, it will be expanded, so that a few people can disguise the people of Cao Cao in the city, and let Lord Tian take advantage of this opportunity to clean up the spies arranged by Cao Cao in the entire north, and even implicate some officials, so that Lord Tian can arrange his own people to go up and better control Yecheng."

Yuan Xi nodded, and said with a domineering expression: "Okay, come and don't be rude, since the ghost wants to try Xi, Xi will play with him."
