Where there are people, there are rumors.

The news that Yuan Shu obtained the jade seal basically couldn't help but leave on the same day, not only on both sides of the Yangtze River, but also in the hinterland of the Central Plains, the hometown of Jingchu, the three counties of Hebei, and the cool land of Shu, they also got the news at different times, and for a time the world was in an uproar, and all the princes gathered their eyes on Shouchun, waiting for an answer from Yuan Shu.

And Yuan Shu has always been a maverick, at this juncture, he not only did not avoid rumors and avoid the limelight, but even more faced difficulties. The next day, Yuan Shuchang Shi Yang Hong announced that Yuan Shu would be proclaimed emperor in late February, and ordered his subordinate officials from all walks of life to make a pilgrimage to Shouchun, wanting to set the capital Shouchun and the country name Zhong.

This time it seems to have really aroused the anger of the public, and when the emperor of the Han family was still alive, Yuan Shu suddenly announced that he was the emperor, you must know that this is simply a great rebellion. But on the contrary, the two leaders Cao Mengde and Yuan were originally regarded as nothing at all, they seemed to care more about their own battle of Guandu, in the case that these two did not have any essential actions, the rest of the princes had a tacit understanding to remain silent, this silence was terrible, that is, the tranquility before the storm.

The rain in Shouchun is still falling.

These days do not seem to see the blue sky and white clouds, with dark gray clouds are always all over the sky over Shouchun, the rain drops fall on the eaves of the house, the bluestone paved road has been full of water traces, there are very few pedestrians on the road, only a few small workers wear robes in the rain back and forth, they are silent in the face of the armor soldiers patrolling the city from time to time, it seems that they are afraid that a careless action will cause the disaster of the knife and axe.

The people are nervous, the atmosphere is tense, and such emotions have been lingering in Shouchun City. At this moment, the door of the unpretentious house on East Street suddenly opened, and a tall figure appeared in sight.

At this time, Yan Xiang had already put on the official uniform of the Han system, holding the jade plate in his hand, his eyes were slightly closed, and he let the rain slip off the official hat, his expression was solemn and relaxed.

The old servant Fubo finally held up an oil-paper umbrella and asked softly, "Master, do you need to prepare a car?" ”

"Since ancient times, the advice of famous ministers has been on foot, where is there a car ride?"

Yan Xiang suddenly smiled, and most of them walked into the drizzle, and the old servant hurriedly followed, wrapping the oil umbrella tightly on top of Yan Xiang's head.

Yan Xiang looked sideways, and the old servant leaned over, "I've been following the old man for a long time, and I'm bolder." I'm not a great character, so I want to send my lord on this journey. ”

Yan Xiang's eyebrows were raised, and he slowly eased again, and finally seemed to agree with the old servant's statement, and said with a smile: "It's just that no one asked Lang'er to get up today, just let him sleep a little longer..."

...

Early in the morning, really early in the morning, a master and a servant were moving slowly in the drizzle. The soldiers patrolling back and forth did not dare to stop them, but the small workers who were still busy just now stopped, looked at them, and whispered.

The wind, not a violent wind, but a breeze and rain rushed towards Yan Xiang, he didn't dodge, but stepped forward with his head held high.

Suddenly, the door of another house opened, and with a wild laugh, Fan Sheng, a member of the army, had already strode forward, and walked to Yan Xiang with only a slight salute, then slowed down and followed behind Yan Xiang.

Captain Hu Jie, the local clan of Shouchun, who has reached the age of knowing the destiny of heaven, also wears armor and helmets, and his eyes sweep across the street sharply, and when Yan Xiang walks by, he blatantly joins the queue.

More and more houses opened their doors, and these agreed Wenchen generals appeared at their doors at the same time at the agreed time, and they all looked at each other with firm eyes, unwilling to speak, just bowed to their colleagues, and entered the queue.

The team is constantly expanding, the queue of a few people in front of a stick of incense has suddenly increased, looking at the formation There are probably more than 100 people, Wenchen wearing official uniforms, military generals wearing armor, all marching forward in the rain, they have already made their minds sideways, that is, to complete the seemingly impossible task.

Yuan Shu's palace was perfected, and the palace wall was also raised from the ground, and the soldiers guarding looked at the posture in front of them, although they were startled, but they still stepped forward and asked, "I don't know what your lords are talking about?" ”

"Enter the palace and meet my lord."

Yan Xiang's words were not shocked, but the soldier who was guarding was already full of gloom, you must know that at this time, Yuan Shu was ordered to pass, and no one was allowed to enter the palace. But on the one hand, Yan Xiang, a group of powerful ministers, and on the other hand, Yuan Shu, he could only make a choice.

"The Lord has decreed that no one shall be seen."

"I'll have something important to do, and I ask the general to let me go."

The soldier commander was already resolute, "I said that the lord has..."

Blood slowly spilled from the corner of the soldier's mouth, he looked at the spear across his chest in disbelief, and before the word "order" of "order" was finished, he was about to face the merciless killing of the old general Hu Jie.

Hu Jie's white beard was already dyed red, he pulled out his spear, pushed down the corpse of the soldier commander with an expressionless face, and shouted angrily: "Don't drive Mr. Yan in Yuzhou to meet the lord, who dares to stop it!" ”

Don't drive in Yuzhou, this is Yan Xiang's accurate official position. This official position can overwhelm almost everyone except Yuan Shu.

In the face of this mixture of blood and water, Yan Xiang did not have the slightest sympathy, and with Hu Jie and his generals opening the way, he had slowly stepped over the young corpse.

History is always ruthless, Yan Xiang's leap has opened a road to killing, whether it is the old general Hu Jie's tragic killing of the guards, or the sword and axe of Yuan Shu that they will face in the future, it seems that it is already doomed, after all, there is no turning back after opening the bow.

The corpses have been lying on the bluestone slabs, many of these people are very young, it can be said that they are simply the fearless victims of this political struggle, and the loss of life is only in an instant, and the chess pieces will always be manipulated by the chess players at will.

A team of armor soldiers had already rushed over, and the old general Hu Jie was bloodied, and in the face of such an old general, although these armor soldiers were angry, they had already begun to hesitate, but they just drew their swords and did not dare to step forward.

"Come on, Lao Tzu, see who dares to rebel!"

The momentum of Hu Jie and the others had already risen, and there seemed to be a mess in the palace, which was the result of Yan Xiang's acquiescence, and only when this group of teams arrived at Yuan Shu's dormitory did Yan Xiang slowly speak.

"Hua Jie (Hu Jie's character), put down the sword."

"Huh?" Hu Jie, who was killed, was a little stunned.

"Get on your knees!"

Yan Xiang's voice was irresistible.

Boom, under the leadership of Yan Xiang, these hundred civil and military officials have already knelt on the ground, their foreheads on the ground one by one, and they know that this is the most important link they are facing today!

If you succeed, you will ascend to heaven, and if you fail, you will go to the ground.

"Subordinate Yuzhou, don't drive Yan Xiang to see the lord, hope that the lord will take back his life, don't do what the thousand people pointed to!"

The words are sharp, and Yan Xiang has long put life and death out of the way.

One person calls, and a hundred people respond.

These civil and military warriors all began to speak at the voice of this Yan Xiang.

"Fan Sheng, a member of the subordinate army..."

"Subordinate Captain Hu Jie..."

"Subordinate..."

The palace shook...
