Chapter 399: A chance to turn the tables
The messenger who was ordered to go to Taihang returned to Yecheng.
Yuan Shao sat in the study, and the only one who accompanied him was Guo Tu.
After listening to the messenger's reply, Yuan Shao frowned and asked, "Xianxin really said that?" ”
"Back to Yuan Gong, that's exactly what the fifth prince said." The messenger said, "The fifth prince has made it clear that the eldest son is the eldest brother. Since ancient times, Yuan Gong handed over Hebei to him, and he definitely didn't dare to promise! If it is handed over to the eldest son, the fifth son should do his best to assist! ”
Yuan Shao waved his hand and motioned for the messenger to retreat.
When the messenger left, he asked Guo Tu, "What do you mean by the public rule?" A certain entrusted Hebei to him, but he didn't accept it? ”
"Congratulations to Yuan Gong, congratulations to Yuan Gong!" Guo Tu smiled and said, "The fifth prince understands the righteousness, which is the blessing of Yuan Gong!" ”
"What do you mean by that?"
"Yuan Gong thinks about it, why did the third son and the eldest son get to this point?"
Staring at Guo Tu, Yuan Shao was speechless.
Although Yuan Tan is the eldest son and has made a lot of contributions to the Yuan family, he just doesn't like it.
Mrs. Liu gave birth to Yuan Shang and surrounded him all day long.
is the most similar to his appearance, and will please him, before Yuan Xu has a correct name, Yuan Shao really thought about handing over Hebei to Yuan Shang.
But Yuan Shang was really in a hurry!
For the sake of Hebei, he actually plotted with Yuan Xi as a brother.
Although Yuan Kang is a concubine, Yuan Shao doesn't like him even more, but he is still a son!
Killing his son under his father's nose is still the other two heirs!
In any case, Yuan Shao couldn't accept such a fact!
Guo Tu continued: "I know that Yuan Gong doesn't like the eldest son, but the words of the fifth prince are not unreasonable. The young and the old are orderly. How can you trespass the courtesy? ”
"What do you mean?" Yuan Shao hesitated and asked, "Handed over Hebei to Xiansi?" ”
"Exactly!" Guo Tu said: "If Duke Yuan wants to hand over Hebei to the fifth prince, it is nothing more than an order. Hebei was inherited by the eldest son, and the fifth son was assisted by it. The two brothers run it together. With the ability of the two sons, why worry about Cao Cao's unbreaking? Why worry about the Yuan family's foundation not prospering? ”
"I think the public will only say good things to please people. Today's words are deeply meaningful! ”
There were only Yuan Shao and Guo Tu in the house.
The two of them did not lower their voices when they spoke, and the guards outside the door listened to it sincerely.
After the changing of the guard, one of the guards secretly ran to see Yuan Shang.
Yuan Shang was taken aback when he learned from the guards that Yuan Shao and Guo Tu were discussing.
After retiring the guards, Yuan Shang ordered someone to invite Feng Ji to come.
It didn't take long for Feng Ji to come to Yuan Shang's room.
"Fenggong!" greeted Feng Ji, and before he sat down, Yuan Shang said: "A certain party just got the news, and Xianxin did not accept his father's wishes. Instead, ask your father to hand over Hebei to the eldest brother! ”
Feng Ji frowned, and his face was instantly bad.
"The fifth prince is like this, once Yuan Gong agrees, the prince is afraid that he will not have a chance!"
"Is there a way to deal with it?" Yuan Shang asked anxiously.
"Childe can consult with his wife." Feng Ji said: "Let's explore the lady's mouth!" ”
"What's the wind?"
"No need for anything else, just cry to Madame and see how she reacts!"
"Although my mother is my wife, who is entrusted by Hebei is my father." Yuan Shang hesitated and said, "What's the use of listening to my mother's tone? ”
"Childe just do it!" Feng Ji got up and said, "This matter can't be delayed. Retire first and make some plans for the son! If the lady calls so-and-so, the matter has already become the majority! ”
Feng Ji departed. Yuan Shang also rushed to Mrs. Liu's residence.
Since the murder of Yuan Xu failed, Yuan Shang did not dare to visit Mrs. Liu.
felt embarrassed by him, and Mrs. Liu didn't plan to see him.
Yuan Shang asked to see him, and Mrs. Liu said to the maid, "Ask him what is the matter." If you want to do something to disgrace me again, you don't have to see each other! ”
The maid answered, and after a while, she folded back.
"Madame Hui. Childe said it was a life-saving event! ”
Mrs. Liu frowned slightly, and ordered, "Call him in to talk." ”
Summoned by Mrs. Liu. Yuan Shang rushed into the house.
Before Mrs. Liu could ask, he knelt on the ground with his legs bent. Crying bitterly: "Mother save me! ”
After all, he was his own flesh and blood, and seeing him like this, Mrs. Liu's heart suddenly softened.
"Why is this the case with my son? Get up and talk quickly. ”
"The father wants to inherit Hebei, and the child doesn't dare to say anything!" didn't get up, Yuan Shang raised his face and cried to her: "Show kindness, or don't hurt the child's life." But just now the child got the message, but he wants to give up Hebei to the eldest brother......"
Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang have always been on good terms, and Mrs. Liu is also well aware.
The two brothers have been fighting for several years, and Yuan Tan has won Hebei, and Yuan Shang will definitely not be able to please him.
"What did Yuan Gong say?" Mrs. Liu asked.
"Father seems to be planning to agree to this!" Kneeling down, Yuan Shang cried and said: "If the eldest brother wins Hebei, the child's life will be at rest!" ”
"With my mother here, who dares to hurt my son?" Mrs. Liu's apricot eyes glared, and said to Yuan Shang: "My son just have to be relieved, just don't cause trouble again!" ”
"If the mother is like this, the child's life is really at stake!" Yuan Shang cried more and more sincerely, as if his head had been lifted in Yuan Tan's hands.
"What are I going to do?"
"The public has a plan, but he just refuses to tell the child!" Yuan Shang raised his face and said, "If his mother inquires, he will not dare to hide anything!" ”
"What a coincidence!" Mrs. Liu gritted her silver teeth and said, "In the past, my son was favored, and he came to the door all day long. Now that the general trend has gone, he refuses to even come up with a plan. ”
"Someone!" Mrs. Liu greeted outside the door and said, "Go and invite Fenggong!" ”
A maid responded from outside, and Mrs. Liu raised her hand to Yuan Shangxu and said, "Get up, even if the sky falls, there will be a mother to stand up for you." ”
got Mrs. Liu's words, and Yuan Shang was grateful.
It didn't take long for Feng Ji to come to Mrs. Liu's residence.
He greeted Mrs. Liu first, and then greeted Yuan Shang: "The third prince is also here." ”
"Fenggong!" After taking her seat, Mrs. Liu asked Feng Ji, "Have you heard that Yuan Gong plans to hand over Hebei to whom?" ”
"Madame Hui!" Feng Ji said: "A certain party just went out to investigate, and Yuan Gong wanted to hand over Hebei to the eldest son. ”
"Didn't you say earlier that you wanted to pass Hebei to Xianxin?"
"Although Duke Yuan has this intention, the fifth prince refuses to accept it." Feng Ji said: "On the contrary, he suggested, saying that since ancient times, the eldest son is the eldest brother who should inherit Hebei, and he must not transgress the etiquette!" Yuan Gong favored the fifth son, how could he not allow it if he said this? ”
"Xianxin is a sensible child!" Mrs. Liu snorted coldly: "If he wins Hebei, he may not show what will happen." Xiansi is narrow-minded, and Xianfu has offended him. Hebei is handed over to Xiansi, how can there be a way to live? ”
"That's what Madame said!" Feng Ji said: "Yuan Gong has a plan, and anyone who refutes it must be useless!" (To be continued.) )
