Halfway through the story, Yuan Xi fell asleep. He had the feeling that when he was talking about things that should have been familiar, it was as if he were talking about other people's experiences. There is a fuzzy diaphragm.

He was actually a little afraid, as if he had really become Yuan Xi, and the original deity was leaving him.

In the middle of the night, someone outside started knocking on the door, waking him up.

"Tuk Tuk Tuk - Second Brother, it's me! Something big happened, and my father summoned us over. ”

Oh, it's Yuan Shang.

Yuan Xi muttered: "What kind of door do you knock on in the middle of the night......" and didn't pay attention to him.

Seeing that he didn't respond outside the door, footsteps sounded, and the person walked away.

Zhen Ji woke up and asked, "The concubine came to serve her husband and dress?" ”

Yuan Xi turned over and said, "No need...... Sleep a little longer. ”

Although he said that he would sleep again, his eyes were wide open in the dark night, and he looked straight ahead.

After about half an hour, Yuan Shang knocked on the door again, and there was some eagerness in his voice.

At this time, Zhen Ji had already gotten up and lit the lamp and candle.

Yuan Xi sat up silently, stretched, and then walked to the door and opened the door.

Yuan Shang seemed to be lying on the door, and he suddenly opened the door inward, and one stood unsteadily, and fell towards the door. Yuan Xi stretched out his hand to support him and said, "What happened?" ”

Yuan Shang hurriedly stood firm, looked at his face, and said, "We have already burned our eyebrows, second brother, how can you still sit back and relax." The granary is on fire! ”

When Zhen Ji heard this, her face turned white with fright. Even if she is a woman, she knows the truth that the three armies go first before moving the grain and grass. And most of the grain and grass in Jizhou are now stored in this big granary, and once a fire breaks out, how serious the consequences should be, you can also figure it out with your toes.

Yuan Shang said: "Second brother, you are in charge of food, don't blame me for not reminding you, when the time comes, my father will cut off my head, I'm afraid I won't be able to protect you." I'm already angry, come with me. ”

As he spoke, he pulled Yuan Xi's sleeve and walked out.

"Wait, I'll say goodbye to your sister-in-law......"

"What else do you want to say goodbye, it's too late, you really have to say goodbye."

Zhen Ji was lying at the door, frowning slightly, looking at the backs of the two in a daze.

Yuan Shao was woken up by an emergency in the middle of the night, his heart was already full of fire, and when he heard such amazing news, his face turned blue with anger. The strategists came in a hurry, sat down one by one, and began to quarrel. Whoever wants to investigate and prosecute, and whoever wants to be removed from their posts, is full of contention. Several of them wanted to keep their own faction's people, and they just took this opportunity to fight the other factions.

Yuan Shao slapped the table and shouted: "What is the noise, what is the situation now?" ”

"According to the intelligence, the scene was full of flames, and the fire could not be stopped, and people have been organized to splash water, but I don't know how much food has been burned for a while." ”

Yuan Shao said: "Send more people!" Put out the fire first, and then investigate the cause. ”

Feng Ji muttered beside him: "This granary accounts for one-third of our army's grain and grass, if it is damaged, I am afraid that this battle will have to be delayed." ”

Guo Tu said: "How can the battle be delayed? Will Gongsun Chan wait for you? ”

Xu You said: "Isn't Gongsun Chan also short of food? ”

A few people chattered endlessly.

At this time, Yuan Shang pulled Yuan Xi in.

Yuan Shao didn't see that Yuan Xi was fine, but when he saw Yuan Xi, he was furious and shouted: "Son! How do you manage your warehouse? Why does the third watch catch fire in the middle of the night? I've been calling you for a long time, and you're only coming over now? ”

As soon as Yuan Xi was optimistic, he began to plummet again, becoming 35.

Yuan Shao's official position on his side was actually somewhat disordered, judging from the official position granted to Yuan Xi, he was only responsible for transporting grain and grass to the front line during the war, and was responsible for the overall deployment during this period. There will be other officials who will be in charge of the granary. But at this time, people had no concept of authority at all, and as soon as they saw him, the second ancestor, they naturally regarded him as the biggest official, and his scope of management expanded infinitely. Anyway, these things belong to your Yuan family, so naturally you are the master. As soon as his authority is expanded, he will have to take responsibility, and if something happens, he will take the blame. In Yuan Xi's view, this pot is very unreasonable, and it is purely unreasonable.

Several of the strategists stared at him in unison, as if they were about to dig something out of him. Feng Ji narrowed his eyes, and Guo Tu's eyes were rolling, not knowing what he was thinking.

Yuan Shang said: "Father, I'm afraid I can't blame the second brother for this matter." He was still sleeping at home when the fire started. ”

Surprisingly, it was this usually discordant third brother who exonerated him first.

Yuan Shao said: "As the person in charge, he actually didn't personally guard the granary. Something so big happened, and you still excuse him? ”

Yuan Xi muttered in his heart: Guarding the granary? Shall I pitch a tent and camp there?

Feng Ji on the side said: "The lord is right, when I appointed the second son a few days ago, I felt that something was wrong, but I couldn't think of anything wrong." Today, I found out that the second son is really unbearable. ”

Guo Tudao: "If you don't dare to take responsibility, how can you succeed?" This time, God is punishing us for our rashness. ”

Yuan Xi frowned. These two jumping clowns have a lot of afterthought. I remember that when the discussion was at the time, he shirked and didn't want to do it, and these people tried their best to persuade him. In the blink of an eye, he fell into the well.

The crowd began to criticize him word by word. Only Tian Feng sat next to him without saying a word.

Yuan Shang gently pushed him and said, "Second brother, if you admit your mistake first, maybe your father will be angry." You don't know who he is, the thunder is loud and the rain is small. ”

Alas, there is no escaping this cycle back and forth. At the beginning of the local fiscal reform, a seminar was held in advance, and many people raised their hands in favor of the plan, and even claimed that it was good. Later, there was an obstruction, which harmed the interests of the individual, and began to shirk the obstruction. The matter was finally stopped by the city government, and they came back to confess their mistakes, as if the matter was his own mistake.

"Report - The fire has been brought under control, the scene has been counted, and all grain silos have been completely destroyed. All the grain and grass in it were burned to char and could not be used. ”

Yuan Shao listened to it with a gloomy face. And all the strategists also turned their faces, and their hearts turned around Xiao Jiujiu.

Tian Fengyu said: "For the sake of today's plan, we should transfer grain from other places as soon as possible." ”

Yuan Shao shouted: "A thousand stones of grain will be destroyed in one fell swoop." The rations that could have provided hundreds of thousands of troops for three months are just gone......"

He covered his face, looking rather sorry.

Feng Ji said: "My lord, you must investigate thoroughly." Arrest and behead all officials who neglect their duties as an example. ”

Yuan Shao's hand moved away from his face, revealing a murderous face. However, although there was a fire at the scene, those small fish and shrimp may have fled long ago. The rest of the people, at most, are just a staker, no one has direct dereliction of duty, and it is difficult to find a scapegoat.

After Feng Ji finished speaking, everyone's eyes were on Yuan Xi, if you want to say scapegoat, isn't there just one here? But this is the son of the lord, and no one dares to speak first.

The atmosphere was uncomfortably depressed, and even Yuan Shao gradually turned his gaze.

Yuan Xi suddenly laughed.

Yuan Shao grimaced and said, "What are you laughing at?" Having lost so much grain and grass, you can still laugh? ”

Yuan Xi said: "This fire, I'm afraid it's providence. ”

Feng Ji Yin and Yang said strangely: "Oh? It turns out that the second son also has a study of the study of heaven and earth, yin and yang? ”

Yuan Xi said: "Shut up, in my opinion, this is a good thing......"

Yuan Shao finally couldn't hold it back, slammed the table with a "snap", stood up, pointed at him and shouted angrily: "You actually said it was a good thing!" Someone, drag it down, cut it! ”
