Chapter 345: You can't treat your son who died in battle
The news of Yuan Xu's death in battle was transmitted back to Yecheng.
The entire Yuan family fell into an atmosphere of sadness.
The inner and outer courtyards of the Yuan family are hung with white silk.
Yuan Xu is just a concubine, and he is not qualified for such treatment at all in terms of background.
The Hebei staff all knew that Yuan Shao loved this son.
Since the news of Yuan Xu's death in battle came back to Yecheng, Yuan Shao didn't think about tea and dinner all day, and his whole person lost weight.
"Yuan Gong!" The waiter entered the room with a bowl of rice and carefully placed it on the table: "Eat some, your body is important......"
"Yuan Man." With tears in his eyes, Yuan Shao said to his attendants: "Xianxin is gone, my heart is ...... panic."
Yuan Man wiped the corners of his eyes and said with a crying voice: "Yuan Gong loves the fifth son, and the villain is also watching. Gongzi died in battle for the Yuan family, Yuan Gong was in pain, and the villain felt the same way. It's just that Gongzi has always been filial, and Yuan Gong is getting thinner and thinner because of this, how can he rest assured in the spirit of heaven! ”
"It's like there's something stuffed in your throat, where can you eat it?" Big tears fell, and Yuan Shao said: "When Xianxin was there, I never felt how important he was. Now that he has left, he knows that although there are many sons, he is the only one who is really caring! ”
Kneeling in front of Yuan Shao, Yuan Man said: "The villain implores Yuan Gong to take care of his noble body, and the fifth prince can rest assured in the spirit of the sky!" ”
Closing his eyes, two lines of old tears rolled down Yuan Shao's cheeks.
"Qi Yuan Gong, the second son and the third prince are leading the army back and are waiting." The voice of a guard was heard outside the door.
"Return!" With round eyes, Yuan Shao gritted his teeth and said, "They actually have the face to come back!" ”
Yuan Man got up and stood aside, hanging his head and not daring to say anything.
The door was pushed open, and Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang entered the house one after the other.
"Father!" before entering the house. Yuan Shang knelt down with a howl, and said bitterly: "The child is incompetent. Failed to save Xianxin! ”
Yuan Shang suddenly made this move, and Yuan Xi was stunned and quickly knelt down.
"How did Xianxin die?" Took a deep breath. Yuan Shao asked.
Kneeling on the ground, Yuan Shang only sobbed and did not respond.
Yuan Xi said: "Back to my father, the child and Xianfu led the army to Puyang, and the Cao army was besieging the city. There are so many enemy soldiers that we don't dare to step forward......"
Yuan Shao didn't say anything, just looked at Yuan Xi coldly.
"Puyang is surrounded by iron buckets, and it can't be sent to Xianxin." Yuan Xi said: "A few days ago, Xianxin suddenly left the city and came all the way to the east. The child and Xianfu led the army to greet each other, and in order to prevent the Cao army from pursuing the child, people dug a trap......"
"Blocking Cao's pursuit? Pitfall? Yuan Shao seemed to understand something. His eyes widened: "Go on!" ”
"In order to prevent our army from rushing to Puyang, Cao Ren led his troops to intercept it. When Xianxin came, he led his troops to turn back and intercept them. Yuan Xi said tremblingly: "The trap was originally prepared for Cao Ren, and I don't want it to be a ......."
Grabbing the rice bowl on the table, Yuan Shao slammed it out.
The forehead was firmly hit by a bowl, and the blood flowed out instantly, Yuan Xi knelt down, trembling all over his body and didn't dare to say a word.
"What a trap! Good for Cao Ren! Gritting his teeth, Yuan Shao said: "You rebel! A thousand calculations. Just for your brother to release the past suspicions! I don't want you to dare to kill each other and dig out a trap to block the way back of Xianxin! ”
Drawing out his long sword, Yuan Shao got up and said, "I'll kill you today!" ”
Yuan Shao drew his sword, Yuan Xi knelt on the ground, trembling and didn't dare to move.
Yuan Man hurriedly stepped forward. knelt in front of Yuan Shao and said: "Yuan Gong is angry, the fifth prince is gone, if you kill the second son." Isn't it self-cutting of one's own siblings? ”
Anger filled Yuan Shao's mind, and he kicked Yuan Man away. Stride towards Yuan Xi.
When they got closer, they rushed in from outside the door.
After entering the house. The two men stepped forward to hug Yuan Shao and knelt beside him.
It was Feng Ji and the trial that rushed in.
The judge looked up at Yuan Shao and said: "What the second prince said is not completely unreasonable, please calm Yuan Gong's anger!" ”
Feng Ji, who hugged Yuan Shao's leg and knelt on the ground, said to Yuan Xi: "The second son is not going to go quickly!" Do you really have to lose your life? ”
After being reminded by Fengji, Yuan Xi got up and ran out.
After going out, he ran all the way, how dare he look back!
Being judged and Feng Ji hugged his thighs left and right, Yuan Shao lowered his head and asked Yuan Shang: "You say, but that rebel is secretly plotting to show his heart?" ”
Raising his tear-stained face, Yuan Shang cried and said, "Father Mingjian, what the second brother said is true!" The trap was actually to intercept Cao Jun, and the child thought that it was inappropriate or would show the accidental injury, but the second brother was confident that it would definitely cause Cao Jun to be chaotic......
"Plotless! There is no plan to do this! Throwing the long sword on the ground, Yuan Shao said angrily: "I knew this was the case, and I shouldn't have let the two of you go!" ”
Feng Ji and Ju got up.
Supporting Yuan Shao, Feng Ji glanced at Yuan Shang.
Bowing down, Yuan Shangcheng retreated in fear.
"Justice, it was you who recommended these two sons to go to Puyang to help! Now that he is dead, he is in pain! Beating his heart, Yuan Shao cried: "My son! ”
I have never seen Yuan Shao like this, and he was very close to Yuan Xu in the past, as if something was stuffed in his throat, and his eyes were red and he couldn't speak.
Feng Ji said with trepidation: "Yuan Gong mourns. Cao's army is strong, the fifth prince is sitting in Puyang, and the soldiers are already tired. The two sons went to the rescue, but fortunately did not fight the Cao army. With 10,000 soldiers and horses against 50,000 Cao troops, did Yuan Gong have to fill in the other two sons? ”
Although the judge did not agree with Feng Ji's words, and it was inconvenient to argue in person, he also persuaded each other on the side.
The two of them helped Yuan Shao to sit down.
After being silent for a long time, Yuan Shao said: "Xianxin has made great contributions to the Yuan family, although he died on the battlefield, he should not be underestimated." ”
"What is Yuan Gong going to do?" Without Yuan Xu, there was a lot less resistance to supporting Yuan Shang, and Feng Ji, who was in a good mood, blurted out.
Although he was in a comfortable mood, Feng Ji didn't dare to show it at all, and he also used a sad tone when asking.
"Zhang, the mother of Xianxin, although she is not from a famous family, has always been deferential, and she will be treated as a wife from today on." Yuan Shao said: "My son is loyal, brave and wise, and has worked hard for the Yuan family, marching with loyalty and courage first, respecting filial piety as the norm, and burying him with the rite of the eldest son!" ”
Yuan Shao wanted to bury Yuan Xu with the gift of his eldest son, Feng Ji was taken aback, and hurriedly persuaded: "This move is to mess up the dignity of the eldest and youngest, and the gift of the eldest son must not be!" ”
"Xianxin died in battle, and the bones are gone!" Yuan Shao roared: "If a beloved son is lost, can't the public rule make my father's peace of mind?" ”
If he continues to talk about it, it will definitely anger Yuan Shao, and Feng Ji does not dare to say more.
The trial has always been good friends with Yuan Xu, he died on the battlefield, and the trial was also depressed.
It's just a funeral, what kind of etiquette is used or what Yuan Shao said, and of course the trial will not obstruct it.
Stroking his forehead, Yuan Shao waved his hand weakly: "You two go!" (To be continued.) )
