Liu Lan returned to the day of the sour date.

Yuan Shao, who had not been raised for a long time, raised his tent before sunset, the military drum sounded, and the princes from all walks of life came to the scene, Liu Lan came to the big tent under the escort of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and the two intervened to guard behind him.

Today's scene seems familiar, a few months ago, Yan Liang and Wen Chou waited on both sides of the main seat like the two generals, but at that time, the two followed Yuan Shao out of the inner tent together, and today they stood on both sides of the main seat early in the morning, holding the knife upright, and the qi was long and vigorous.

Liu Lan looked weird, who are the two murderous fighting for? Liu Lan looked at Wen Chou, who had a little friendship, but his eyes were fluttering but he was deliberately avoiding his gaze, and in the end, he stood directly down and looked at his toes.

In the past few years, Liu Lan has greatly increased whether he has learned a little bit of qi cultivation kung fu from Wen Shu or his experience, Wen Chou's performance without a city government made him suspect that Yuan Shao might be ruthless to himself at the first time, his fingers rubbed involuntarily, and the yang evil qi on his body was inadvertently revealed.

A martial artist like him, to put it mildly, crawled out of the pile of hundreds of dead people, it was precisely because the perennial battle was contaminated with this Yang evil qi that the gods and ghosts were afraid, so the reason why Qin Qiong and Wei Chigong became door gods later.

Behind them, Guan Zhang and the two of them noticed Liu Lan's subtle changes almost instantly, if it wasn't for any trouble, the lord would never be so nervous, and even rubbed his fingers, Guan Yu immediately bent down and asked in a low voice in Liu Lan's ear, "Lord, what's wrong?" ”

Liu Lan rubbed his fingers with his right palm and stopped, and at this time, he could only brake statically, and whispered to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei: "The situation doesn't feel good." But it may also be that I was overly concerned and thought that the same would change first. Look at what tricks Yuan Shao plays. "The so-called 'being a thief', if Liu Lan is really worthy of it. is not afraid of Yuan Shao, but with the incident of Yu Fuluo, after seeing Wen Chou's dodgy eyes, he will subconsciously think that Yuan Shao is trying to deal with him, but after careful analysis, maybe this is just Wen Chou's fear of revealing some secrets, so he will deliberately dodge himself.

Guan Yu's body stood upright again, Dan Feng's eyes squinted slightly and looked at the inner tent, last time because of Dong Zhuo's envoy, he made such a scene, but he didn't expect to come today. Let's see who he has to deal with today, and who he can deal with!

Yuan Shao soon appeared, and this time it was Jizhou Mu Hanfu who walked out of the inner tent with him.

The princes stood up to greet each other, and Yuan Shao strode onto the throne with an intoxicating smile on his face: "You have been waiting for a long time. As he spoke, he motioned for everyone to take their seats.

"Today's gathering of the kings to raise the account is two things." Yuan Shao said, swept in front of the princes one by one, his eyes immediately became cold, and he beckoned to Yan Liang beside him. Let him come over with his ear, and he didn't know what to whisper, so the latter bowed down and left the tent, waiting for Yan Liang to come out of the big tent. Yuan Shaocai, who had an obscure expression, squeezed out a smile and said, "Sun (Jian) is too guarded before he arrives, so he has to discuss the second thing first." ”

Yuan Shao and Sun Jian had a conflict, and many people have heard of this. But I don't know why the two quarreled early this morning, and even used their swords. In the end, Han Fu became a peacemaker and persuaded the two to make peace. It's just that it seems to turn the war into a jade silk, but I didn't expect Sun Jian to refuse to come to the main account at night, and the Jiangdong Tigers really didn't give Yuan Benchu face to the fourth and fifth dukes, but think about it, Sun Jian is Yuan Shu's right-hand man, and it's not strange not to put Yuan Shao in his eyes. Everyone secretly looked at Yuan Shu, who had been closing his eyes and smiling at the corners of his mouth, it seemed that this was another fairy fight, and the next thing was going to be interesting.

Just when the princes were waiting to see a good show, I saw the lord Yuan Shao clean up his mood, smiled calmly, and said: "Today, I once again gathered all the monarchs in the main tent of the Chinese army as the leader of the alliance, and the first thing I wanted to discuss with the monarchs was to discuss with you...... Yuan Shao paused, glanced at Cao Cao, the latter's friendship with Yuan Shao, naturally understood the implication of the eyes he had seen, that is, let him support unconditionally, now Yuan Shao will never discuss with him in advance no matter how big or small, it is inevitable that he will feel uncomfortable, but before the world's meritorious deeds are built, he must look up to Yuan Shao and snort, he can't help himself, whether it is a good thing or a bad thing, he has to support. “

For the embarrassing situation at this time, Cao Cao once had such a memory, he said to the people around him, 'When Shao is strong, he can't protect himself, and everyone cares!' This passage is recorded in the Spring and Autumn Period of the Wei family, which shows Cao Cao's helplessness and involuntary self-determination at this time.

Of course, Cao Cao, who is known for his uprightness, will not let Yuan Shao come to Hu, if he touches his bottom line, Cao Cao will also not stand for Yuan Shao, and even admonishes directly, and this is exactly the case, only to hear Yuan Shao say: "Today's son is young, and he was forced by Dong Zhuo, far away in Guanzhong, I don't know if I survived, I will bring you here today, and I have one thing to discuss with you." ”

Everyone listened attentively at this moment, and many of them had abnormal faces. Pious 'looked at Yuan Shao, and Liu Lan kept his head down, he really worried about today's things, Yuan Shao did not target him a lot, judging from the performance just now, it should be Sun Jian, and the reason why Yuan Shao and Sun Jian turned their faces is familiar with the romance, of course he knows that it is because of the jade seal of the country, and after that, Sun Jian betrayed the alliance and left, and was killed by Liu Biao when he passed through Jingzhou, of course, because of Yuan Shao's relationship, but also with Sun Jian's withdrawal from the alliance, the alliance of the princes completely collapsed, and it seems that he can only refuse Cao Cao to send troops to Guanzhong.

The silence in the room made Liu Lan come back to his senses in an instant, glanced at the princes of the military tent, and then at Yuan Shao, and after the latter created the atmosphere, he finally spoke: "Youzhou Mu Liu Yu is a virtuous man of the Han family, and Yu summoned all the monarchs to come today, just to discuss with the monarchs to support Liu Yu to become our new son of heaven!" ”

Liu Lan was in an uproar, he didn't expect that Yuan Shao would be arrogant to the point of lawlessness in a few months, such a rebellious thing would dare to say it in front of everyone, wouldn't he be afraid of a violent backlash? Or did he not care about the reactions of the other princes at all, or did the other princes already join him?

Maybe it's really possible, otherwise the princes wouldn't have drunk and had fun here every day, and only Cao Cao was in a hurry to march to Guanzhong.

And at this time, the most ugly face is Yuan Shu.

Yuan Shu, who is about to enter the age of not being confused, is still personable, compared with Yuan Shuzi, he is really a beautiful man, and compared with Yuan Shaowen, Yuan Shu is recognized by the world as a civil and military all-rounder. The subset of scripture and history is all known, and the art of war and tactics are all understood. In the Tiger Army, because he is good at riding and shooting. Holding a longbow in his hand, the arrow was appreciated by the Spirit Emperor, coupled with family reasons, his career was smooth and smooth. It can be said that for so many years, whether it is prestige, official position or birth, Yuan Shao has not been comparable to Yuan Shu, and it is precisely because of this that Yuan Shao, who was born as a concubine, understands that he wants to establish a new emperor, even if Liu Yu disagrees. can also force him to do the same, but if Yuan Shu does not agree, this matter will only be difficult to do. It was he and Han Fu who found Yuan Shu at the first time and persuaded: "The emperor is not a filial piety Lingzi, and he wants to rely on Jiang, abolish the young master, and welcome the story of the king, and serve the great Sima Yu as the emperor." ”

But as soon as he spoke, he was rejected by Yuan Shu on the pretext that this matter needed to be discussed openly with the princes, but what Yuan Shu didn't expect was that Yuan Shao really had the courage to mention the establishment of the new emperor in front of everyone. This made his face turn blue in an instant, and he regarded Yuan Shuzi's performance as a provocation to himself, as the eldest man of the Yuan family, he wanted to teach Yuan Shao a good lesson. But before he could get up, Cao Cao had already turned pale, and said fiercely: "We are the ones who do not respond from far and near when we raise troops." For the sake of righteousness. Now the young lord is weak, and he is controlled by traitorous ministers. It is not the provocation of Changyi to lose the country, but once it is changed. Who is safe in the world! To the north, I am to the west. He believes that after Liu Yu loses his morality, the people of the world will not accept it, and there will be endless troubles after changing it.

With the friendship between the two, Yuan Shao naturally thought that Cao Cao was out of the queue to support him, with a smile on his cheeks, waiting for Cao Cao's high comments, but this high talk made Yuan Shao's cheek smile stiffen little by little, and in the end, it became even more ugly, and even angry.

"Enough!" Yuan Shao stood up, and his anger was unobstructed, but his cultivation, his anger control, and even his friendship for many years still made him hold back the anger in his heart, took out something from his sleeve, and said loudly: "This is the destiny of heaven!" ”

Everyone looked at it, only to see Yuan Shao holding a seal in his hand, the size of the mouth, jade, dragon and tiger buttons, shocked, even Liu Lan, because the thing in Yuan Shao's hand is not an ordinary product, it is actually the emperor's letter seal.

Could it be that the jade seal found by Sun Jian was taken away by Yuan Shao? If Liu Lan first arrived at the end of the Han Dynasty, he would definitely think so, in fact, the Han Dynasty had seven seals, passed down from generation to generation (that is to say, the seal of the emperor of the Son of Heaven of Liu Bang, the founding emperor of the Western Han Dynasty, more than 10 emperors behind him, including Wang Mang and Liu Xuan, would continue to use it until the Western Han Dynasty collapsed and the Eastern Han Dynasty was established), among which there is a jade seal, which is engraved by the first emperor from the "Heshi Bi". Its square circle is four inches, on the New York hand over five dragons, the front is engraved with Li Si's book "by the sky, both longevity and Yongchang" eight seal characters (note, once seen another saying, long time can not remember, only remember that the book is said to be 'ordered by the sky, both by Yongkang'.

This jade seal is the important weapon of the country, and it is only used for the purpose of passing on the country. If it is obtained, it symbolizes that it is "ordered by heaven", and if it is lost, it shows that its "qi has been exhausted". Those who ascend to the throne without this seal are ridiculed as the "white version of the emperor", and the jade seal of the country disappeared when He Jin and Yuan Shao entered the palace to kill the eunuchs.

With the change of the times, the seal character was gradually replaced by the seal word, but because of the difference between respect and inferiority in ancient times, Cai Yong recorded in "Dictatorship" that the seal of the Son of Heaven is still called the seal, jade, dragon and tiger button. The private seals created by the hundred officials and some ordinary people are collectively called seals, and they cannot be made of jade, otherwise it is overstepping, in the hierarchical feudal era, this is a matter of losing the head.

The six seals of the Son of Heaven are similar in shape, but the inscriptions are different, and the different inscriptions are different for the different functions of the seals, such as:

The emperor's seal is used to seal the general edict, such as worshipping the officials below the three dukes.

The Emperor's Seal was used to seal the edicts issued to the princes and kings, and was also used to levy the soldiers of the county.

The Emperor's letter seal was used to seal the edict of conscripting ministers, and it was also used in general edicts to send troops.

The seal of the Son of Heaven was used to seal the edicts given to foreign leaders such as the Xiongnu Shan Yu.

The Seal of the Son of Heaven was used to seal the edict of a foreign country or to recruit its chief.

The letter seal of the Son of Heaven is used to seal the edicts made by foreign soldiers or ghosts and gods.

Cao Cao saw what Yuan Shao was doing, sneered and returned to his seat and bent down, the seven seals of the Son of Heaven, relatively speaking, only the emperor's jade seal is the seal of the country, symbolizing imperial power, and the other six seals are more like the emperor's private seal, Yuan Shao is not ashamed to say the mandate of heaven with the emperor's private seal, isn't it ridiculous?

And the six seals of the Son of Heaven are by no means as noble as Yuan Shao showed, the twelve emperors of the Eastern Han Dynasty, in addition to the proper preservation of the seal of the country, the rest of the six jade seals will be replaced with the new son of heaven, and the six seals of the previous dynasty will not be destroyed, and the content of the new six seals must be approved by the emperor himself, and the content of the seal will be changed in the middle to show that it is different from the previous emperor, if Yuan Shao is in his hands is the seal of the country, then he said the Mandate of Heaven, Cao Cao has no way to refute, but he took the emperor's letter seal and said that the Mandate of Heaven, if Dong Zhuo knows, He only needs to coerce the Son of Heaven to create another emperor letter seal, and at that time, the emperor letter seal in Yuan Shao's hands is just a piece of jade, and there is no other use!

Cao Cao smiled and returned to his position, the emperor's letter seal is indeed useless, but if a new monarch is established, it will be useful, the legal right ultimately lies in who can find the jade seal of the country, who is legitimate, and the six seals of the Son of Heaven in his hands will become the real seal, on the contrary, it is a private carving, and no one will agree.

Cao Cao's piercing laughter made Yuan Shao's face change several times, originally he wanted to hope that he could help him at a critical moment, but he didn't want him to stand up against the new monarch first, and the moment Cao Cao sat down, the viciousness in his eyes staring at him was even stronger, but Cao Cao didn't notice that he was sitting down.

Yuan Shao gritted his teeth above the main seat.

The gods are fighting, and the princes just look at the excitement, and no one wants to participate, but Liu Lan has been silent, and the cunning man likes to be smart, he really wants to see how Yuan Shao's play should be sung after Cao Cao stirred it up like this......

Yuan Shao didn't care about what to do next, he just looked at Cao Cao viciously, and in the eyes of others, he naturally hated him to the bone marrow, but only Yuan Shao knew best in his heart that he was not hate, but wronged, and resented that Cao Cao did not speak for him at the critical moment.

Cao Cao noticed the eyes cast by Yuan Shao, and immediately closed his eyes to recuperate, this is his bottom line, no matter how deep Yuan Shao's friendship with him is, he will not help his relatives, his character, no matter what happens, as long as he touches his bottom line, then he will always stand on the side of the truth, even if that person is his hair young, even his relatives!

Wave after wave, Cao Cao was not the only one who gave Yuan Shao a headache, but also his half-brother Yuan Shu, who came out of the stairs at this moment, saw his sneering appearance, and immediately chuckled in his heart, he knew that the real trouble was coming! (To be continued......)
