Cai Yong's departure is not a trivial matter for Luoyang, with the reputation of Cai Yong's three monarchs, although there is no official in his body, his influence in Shilin is very important, but for many people, this is also a good thing.

Cai Yong belongs to the firm imperial party, and is also a banner figure of the Son of Heaven in Shilin, now as soon as Cai Yong leaves, the momentum of these imperial parties will be a little weaker, of course, no matter what kind of thoughts, on the day Cai Yong left, even if the people in Luoyang City were enough, even if it was He Jin, they also came to see him off, in addition, there were Yuan Kui, Zheng Shuang and other old ministers in the court, and among the new generation, in addition to Ye Zhao, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, who had begun to emerge in the officialdom, also arrived.

"Congratulations to Xiu Ming for resolving the misunderstanding with Cai Weng." Seeing Ye Zhao, who was told by Cai Yong to retreat, Cao Cao said to Ye Zhao with a smile.

"It's not a big deal, it's that the teacher is too rigid." Ye Zhao glanced at Cai Yong and smiled with Cao Cao in a low voice.

Since returning from Jizhou with Yuan Shao, Cao Cao was left in Luoyang because of his merits, He Jin was jealous of the Yuan family, and these days have been in a state of prevention, so although Yuan Shao has great merit, he is still the captain of the school, but he was named the Pavilion Marquis, and Cao Cao is favored by He Jin, although the official is not as good as Yuan Shao, but under the general's account, he is now also a pivotal figure.

On this side, Ye Zhao and Cao Cao talked in a low voice, and on the other side, after saying goodbye to Cai Yong, Yuan Shao turned around and saw the two of them, his eyes were a little complicated.

At the same time, the characters who emerged when the Yellow Turban was pacified used to be drunk and intimate, but now the times have changed, the official positions of the three are getting higher and higher, and Ye Zhao is even ranked Jiuqing, but Yuan Shao can clearly feel that these two former friends now have an indescribable separation from himself.

Ye Zhao is because of the dispute with the Yuan family, whether it is Yuan Kui or the entire Yuan family, Ye Zhao, who steals the resources of the Yuan family, is obviously not friendly, and since Yuan Kui's original words, Yuan Shao has always thought that Ye Zhao's purpose of befriending him is not pure, he wants to use himself, which is what he took the initiative to alienate.

But Cao Cao ...... Yuan Shao himself didn't know when the relationship between himself and Cao Cao became weaker and weaker, but at this moment, watching the two of them talk happily, Yuan Shao felt unspeakably uncomfortable.

Cai Yong left with his dozen or so carriages loaded with bookheads, and everyone dispersed one after another, Xu You passed by Yuan Shao's side, and saw that Yuan Shao's face was wrong, so he couldn't help but pull Yuan Shao lightly and said, "Originally? ”

"What's the matter with Ziyuan?" Yuan Shao came back to his senses and looked at Xu Yu a little blankly.

"When I ask you." Xu You looked at Yuan Shao and frowned: "Why do you always feel that your original mind doesn't belong recently?" ”

Yuan Shao's face changed slightly, he shook his head, did not speak, walked side by side with Xu You, and diverted the topic: "Ziyuan has been running back and forth in Jizhou these days, but what is the matter? ”

"I have my own big things planned." Xu You glanced at Cao Cao's direction, and a cold color flashed in his eyes and said: "I had a good relationship with Meng De at the beginning, how do you think that Meng De has been quite close to that Ye Zhao recently?" ”

Yuan Shao shook his head a little depressedly: "Meng De and Xiu Ming had a friendship as early as the Yellow Turban Uprising, and now that Xiu Ming is a guard lieutenant, it is not unreasonable for Meng De to be closer." ”

Xu Yu laughed disdainfully: "Although Ye Xiuming has meritorious deeds, but from a humble background, the Son of Heaven does not need to be a loyal minister, but uses this lowly person, if you talk about merit, you have also pacified the rebellion of Chen Liu and Nanyang at the beginning, and now you are more peaceful in Jizhou, it may not be much worse than Ye Zhao, this time he returned to the dynasty, but he was not rewarded, he is really a faint king!" ”

"Ziyuan is cautious!" Yuan Shao was taken aback by Xu You, looked left and right, glared at Xu You with an unkind face, and said, "If these words come out, Ziyuan will not be far away!" ”

"If you don't regard you as a close friend, you can speak from the bottom of your heart, if you feel that your words and deeds are wrong, you can go and report you, and you will never complain." Xu You sneered.

"What did Ziyuan say?" Yuan Shao only felt a warm feeling in his chest, with Ye Zhao and Cao Cao being estranged one after another, although Yuan Shao still has a large number of people who are tied to him in Luoyang, but he has not experienced that kind of real friendship for a long time, he was born in a family, although he is a concubine, but Yuan Kui is quite valued, otherwise Yuan Jiashu is not the only one, why can he only compete with his son-in-law Yuan Shu? Because of this, he has a very high vision, and those who stammer with him, he will treat them with courtesy, but he will not treat them as true friends.

Ye Zhao and Cao Cao belong to the top group of people in the younger generation, regardless of talent or ability, in Yuan Shao's view, only such outstanding people are worthy of making friends with themselves, but Ye Zhao and Cao Cao's successive estrangement, so that Yuan Shao has a sense of loneliness, at this time Xu You's words are touching Yuan Shao's weakest side, he also longs for this kind of friendship, Xu You is so unreserved trust, but not that kind of flattery is comparable.

"Since Ziyuan believes me, Yuan doesn't bother to do that villainous act." Yuan Shao looked at Xu Yu and said indifferently: "Ziyuan's words are inevitably too underestimated Yuan, but what Your Majesty did is also inappropriate, but you and I, as courtiers, should not be arrogant!" ”

"Original forgiveness." Xu You looked around, and the two of them unconsciously lagged behind the crowd, and after seeing that there was no one around, they said in a low voice: "If you are stupid today, appoint eunuchs and traitorous ministers, seeing the wind and rain in the Han Dynasty, your heart is painful, and you have the heart to set things right, but people are soft-spoken, and now they are planning a major matter to discuss with the beginning, this is not the place to speak, if you believe in me, and come with me." ”

When Yuan Shao heard this, he looked at Xu You's expression, and his heart jumped, what big thing did Xu You want to plan? Yuan Shao already had some guesses in his heart at this moment, when he was fighting the Yellow Turban in Jizhou, Wang Fen, the assassin of Jizhou, had invited him to a banquet several times, and his words had also revealed his dissatisfaction with what the Son of Heaven had done, and during that time, Xu You seemed to have a very close relationship with Wang Fen, and some of the things that Wang Fen said to Yuan Shao, even if he thinks about it now, made Yuan Shao sweat coldly.

After returning to the dynasty, Xu You went to Jizhou several times......

Coming to a wine shop belonging to the Yuan family, after Xu Youping retreated, he looked at Yuan Shao solemnly and said: "At the beginning, the meaning of Wenzu, I really don't know at the beginning?" ”

Yuan Shao knelt on the straw mat, and after thinking for a while, he looked at Xu You and said seriously: "Ziyuan said before me, who is involved in this matter?" ”

Yuan Shao is not a stupid person, since Xu You has directly talked to him about this matter at this time, I am afraid that he has already made a plan.

Xu You stared at Yuan Shao, and said after a while: "Zhou Jing, the prime minister of Liang, Chen Yi, the son of the late Taifu Chen Fan, and many heroes in Jizhou. ”

Wang Fen, as one of the eight chefs, is not weak in Shilin, but listening to these names, Yuan Shao's brows furrowed slightly: "Only these?" ”

Xu You smiled bitterly: "Wen Zuqian turned over the original shirk, I didn't want to find the original again, but I thought that this matter is related to the world, and it must be a virtuous person. ”

Yuan Shao frowned and pondered when he heard this, and did not give the result immediately, so he shook his head for a long time and said: "This matter is very important, let me think twice." ”

"I heard that the Son of Heaven wants to tour the old house between the rivers in the north, Wen Zu has written to say that the Black Mountain thieves have robbed the counties, please have the right to transfer troops, if this matter has the help of the beginning, if it is successful, then the original can echo in the court, the prince is young, we support the king of Hefei as the emperor, then the dynasty is in hand, why can't the original worry about showing the ambition in the chest?" Xu You saw that Yuan Shao's heart was moved, and hurriedly persuaded: "This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, even if it fails, we will take the blame ourselves, and we will not make it difficult to make the beginning!" ”

Yuan Shao heard this, quite moved, this time he pacified Jizhou has a great contribution, and then after returning to the court, not only did the court not have any reward, He Jin also intended to cut his military power, but Cao Cao was promoted by He Jin, which already made him unhappy, and now he was so plucked by Xu Yu, and suddenly had a thought, if he can really succeed, with the momentum of the Yuan family and the fact that he is in Luoyang at the moment, he has taken the lead, as long as he succeeds, the momentum of the Yuan family will be able to surpass Yuan Shu and become the heir of the Yuan family, and then Ye Zhao will be the captain of the guard? The dismissal will be in his thoughts.

"Ziyuan will come back, before Your Majesty goes on patrol, Shao will have a reply!" Yuan Shao looked at Xu Yu solemnly and solemnly promised.

After all, it is a matter of abolition, although there are precedents of Huo Guang and Yi Yin's success, but there are more examples of failure, how majestic Liang Ji was back then, and in the end, it was not a death without a place to be buried? No matter how big the Yuan family is, Yuan Shao can't cut it off in person?

"You are waiting for good news, but you should cut off as soon as possible, so as not to miss a big event!" Xu You nodded, got up and said goodbye: "But before the matter is completed, You can't be too close to the beginning, so as not to affect the original after the defeat." ”

"Ziyuan is noble, but he can't help but underestimate Yuan!" Yuan Shao said unhappily.

"Don't blame the beginning, this matter is not to be trivialized, but if the thing fails, if the original can stay out of the matter, you can still take care of me and wait for a thing or two, if the original is implicated, the world is so big, we will have no place to wait!" Xu You said solemnly: "This matter is about the world, we have to be careful!" ”

"It's just that, it's hard work." Yuan Shao said with emotion.

"Farewell!" Xu You took a deep breath, bowed to Yuan Shao, and left first, while Yuan Shao waited for Xu You to leave for a long time before leaving the wine shop with his personal guards, and went to the mansion to convene his staff to discuss the matter.

Yuan Shao is distressed, Ye Zhao has also been distressed recently, the Son of Heaven went out to patrol the old house, originally there was nothing to do with him, the responsibility of guarding, and he had his own Yulin Army, but Liu Hong was obviously not at ease with the Yulin Army, and specially ordered Ye Zhao to lead the guard brigade Ben Sanling plus the women's battalion to protect Liu Hong's family, and Ye Zhao also led the Yulin Zhonglang to protect Liu Hong's family.

This is not a trivial matter, Ye Zhao has the intention to dissuade him, but not only Liu Hong is determined to go out on patrol, but most of the officials in the DPRK and China also agree, and the few voices of Lu Zhi and others who feel inappropriate are also annihilated by the voice of praise.
