In the Huainan Yuan Shu Mansion, his subordinates reported: "Your Majesty, the big thing is not good, Princess Yingying has run away." ”

"Oops, Yingying, this kid has always been filial, the last time I heard the spies report that Liu Xun might come to fight Huainan in the near future, I shouted to assassinate Liu Xun. This time, I sent Zhang Chao to assassinate Liu Xun on the front foot, but her back foot was gone, and most of them went to assassinate Liu Xun. ”

"Yingying, this child, if there is a mistake, how can I be worthy of her dead mother", Yuan Shu is a little masterless.

"The emperor can rest assured, the princess has been practicing martial arts since she was a child, and her martial arts are already in flames, so she should be fine", Tong Yuan said.

"I hope so, now I can only pray for the blessing of the heavens", Yuan Shu said.

Half a month later, the spy reported: "Your Majesty, Zhang Chao and other assassins, including Princess Yingying, were all captured by Liu Xun, and Liu Xun beheaded Zhang Chao and others. The princess heard that she was being locked up in a prison and her fate was uncertain. ”

"How is this good, my hard-working child", Yuan Shu cried loudly, completely losing the dignity of the emperor.

"The emperor can rest assured, according to Weichen's opinion, the reason why Liu Xun left the princess alive was just to threaten him and want some benefits", Tong Yuan said.

"General Tong's words are very reasonable, if Liu Xunzhen sends someone to negotiate the conditions, I will exchange it for the princess at all costs", Yuan Shu's father and daughter have a deep relationship, and it is not in vain that his daughter was born and died for him.

"Immediately sent my order to send someone to Yizhou to find out the news of my daughter, organize people and horses, and make every effort to rescue her."

"Pass my order, the Huainan army is assembled and ready to attack Yizhou at any time."

"Weichen asks the emperor for permission, let me sneak to Yizhou in disguise, and wait for the opportunity to rescue the princess", Tong Yuan was deeply affectionate and immediately asked for his life.

"Okay, General Tong is strong in martial arts and resourceful, with you going to Yizhou, I will be relieved. Remember, everything is for the purpose of rescuing the princess, don't shoot casually, see the right time, and only make a move", Yuan Shu is worthy of the princes, and at this time he came back to his senses and began to arrange.

"Weichen obeys the emperor's instructions, once the princess is rescued, he will immediately fly back with a flying horse", Tong Yuan gave a salute and went to Yizhou to rescue the princess.

A month later, Zhang Song came to Huainan and asked to see Yuan Shu.

"Report to the emperor, Liu Xun sent Zhang Song to come, saying that there is something important to ask to see the emperor", and the eunuch reported to Yuan Shu.

"Please", Yuan Shu said.

At this time, Yuan Shu was discussing in the main hall, and the civil and military officials were on both sides, and when they heard the arrival of Liu Xun's envoy, everyone was calm on the surface, and secretly they were thinking about how to deal with it.

"The soldiers and horses guarding in front of the palace, when Zhang Song comes later, they must put on a majestic and murderous appearance, don't lose my dignity", Yuan Shu's eyes swept over the commander of the imperial guards and ordered.

"Yes, when Zhang Song comes, let the guards set up their swords and guns, let Zhang Song drill through the forest of swords, guns and swords, and kill his majesty", the commander of the guards immediately understood Yuan Shu's intentions.

"Okay, that's it, if you do such a thing, I will reward you heavily, if you can't do it, come and see you."

"Wechen obeys."

Looking at the row of guards under His Royal Highness, Yuan Shu smiled with satisfaction, "Liu Xun, Liu Xun, you are too underestimated, if you want to give me a lion big mouth, I will not pull out the iron rooster." If you want to sit on the ground and start the price, I will pay it back on the spot."

After a short time, Zhang Song came, and the commander of the guards waved his hand, and all the guards under him crossed their swords and guns, with a murderous look.

"The emperor has decreed, if Liu Xun's envoy wants to meet him, he must pass under the gun forest", the commander of the guards looked murderous and glared at Zhang Song fiercely.

"This is the land of the Han Dynasty, I am the envoy of the Han Emperor, sent by General Liu, to announce the decree. Yuan Shu dared to claim to be the emperor in vain, and dared to stop the messenger of the saint, I will go back and let General Liu send troops to recruit the traitors", Zhang Song didn't look at the swords, guns and swords in front of him, and turned around and left.

The commander of the guards was a little panicked all of a sudden, he knew the reason, Zhang Song was really leaving, and Yuan Shu would kill him when he turned back.

"The envoy stays", the commander of the guards said with a smile, "My brother was also sent by order, and I really couldn't help myself with this move just now." I will report to the emperor and ask him to make a decision for himself. ”

"You tell Yuan Shu to remove his sword and gun and come out to greet him personally, otherwise, I will call him a lifelong hatred", Zhang Song shouted loudly.

Yuan Shu in the hall had already heard it, "The incompetence of the guard commander has caused me to lose face." After Zhang Song left, he would not be spared. ”

The matter has come to this point, Yuan Shu is difficult to ride a tiger, it is related to the life of a beloved woman, so he has to temporarily bow his head and personally greet him.

"When the distinguished guest came to the door, you dared to use knives and guns without permission, such a big dog guts, and you didn't put it away for me", Yuan Shu scolded sharply, as if everything was made by his subordinates and had nothing to do with him at all.

The guards hurriedly put away their swords and guns, and stood far away, making way for an avenue in the middle.

"Bastard, what are you doing in a daze, don't you invite your guests into the hall soon", Yuan Shu slapped the guard commander with his hand, and hit him with gold stars in his eyes.

The commander of the guards scolded Yuan Shu dozens of times in his heart, but on the surface, he smiled happily, "Lord Messenger, please inside." ”

Zhang Song observed his words, secretly laughed, and sneered: "General Yuan, your subordinates are so bold that they dare to be your master without authorization. If these minions don't teach them, they're going to climb on top of you in the future. ”

Yuan Shu's heart was furious, and he said with a smile on his face: "The envoy doesn't care about the villain, these bastards, I will settle accounts with them in the future, please." ”

Zhang Song swaggered into the main hall, as if there was no one around.

Suddenly, a person raised his sword and shouted: "Where did you come from, the madman dares to deceive me Huainan no one, I know you, the three-foot Qingfeng in my hand doesn't know you." ”

When Zhang Song looked fixedly, a person was coming out of the hall, this person was dressed as a Confucian scholar, snatched a sword from the guard's hand, and was looking at him angrily.

Zhang Song saw that this person had a righteous face, for fear that he would not be able to hold it, and really cut himself to death with a sword, so he hurriedly laughed and said: "Your Excellency, Zhang Song in Xia Yizhou, I don't know Huainan Yingjie, please don't be surprised if you are offended." ”

The man's expression softened a little, and he also said politely: "In Xia Huainan Zhou Xin, I have heard of the name of Zhang Song in Yizhou. ”

Zhang Song was very happy when he heard that his name had spread to Huainan, and he didn't dare to make any more publicity, so he walked into the hall side by side with Zhou Xin, putting away his previous madness.

Yuan Shu secretly screamed: "I'm ashamed that I have encountered a dilemma, and most of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are helpless." This Zhou Xin is not usually very important, but at the critical moment, he earned face for me. ”

After this incident, Yuan Shu used Zhou Xin very much, that is a later story.

Entering the hall, Zhang Song clenched his fists and shook them on all sides, which was regarded as a courtesy with the Huainan monarchs.

"Huainan did not respect the emperor, vainly claimed to be the emperor, and actually sent someone to assassinate General Liu Xun, and now the assassin Yuan Yingying has been captured", Zhang Song went straight to the point and shocked the hall.

Zhang Song's words were righteous and strict, Yuan Shu was called the emperor, and many of the civil and military officials in Huainan did not approve of it, and many people were speechless.

"Emperor Xian has no virtue, but he is just a puppet in Liu Xun's hands. Yan Han belongs to fire, now the fire virtue has ended, our emperor's Yuan surname comes from the surname Chen, Chen is the ancient Emperor Shun, with the soil to bear the fire, the name is right, why not", Zhou Xin argued.

"Yuan Shu is a courtier of the Han Dynasty, the fourth and third princes of the Yuan family, he does not want to contribute to the country, but sets himself up as an emperor, and is disloyal to his ministers, what face does he stand between heaven and earth", Zhang Song did not give in.

"The emperor of the Han Dynasty has been immoral for a long time, Huan Ling has come, the government is not in order, and the people are living in the fire of the water. My lord bears fire with earth and saves all people from fire and water, why not", Zhou Xin countered.

Zhang Song saw that the other party didn't eat this set, and didn't want to entangle here, so he went straight to the point, "Yuan Shu sent his daughter to assassinate my father-in-law, and now she has been captured." If you want to get your daughter back, you agree to my father-in-law's conditions. ”

At this time, Yuan Shu had to speak, "What conditions does Liu Xun want before he is willing to release my daughter?" ”

"It's very simple, cancel the title of emperor, and still dedicate the emperor to the lord in the future. In the future, if you have an order, you must obey the order", Zhang Song put forward the conditions.

"What if I don't cancel the title of emperor?" Yuan Shu forced his eyes to look at Zhang Song, with murderous intent in his eyes.

"That's simple, in Chengdu Tianxiang Building, there will be one more Oiran from now on. The name of the Yuan family will be even louder among the princes from now on", Zhang Song was not afraid at all, and looked at Yuan Shu, hehe sneered.

"Damn Liu Xun, he dares to ruin the reputation of my Yuan family, I can't spare him", Yuan Shu trembled, and he was in chaos.

Anyone in the hall understood that if Liu Xunzhen did that, the reputation of the Yuan family would be ruined, and they would definitely become a laughing stock, and they would never be able to raise their heads again.

But if Yuan Shu canceled the title of emperor and slapped himself in the mouth, he couldn't say it for a while.

For a time, Yuan Shu was difficult to ride a tiger, and he was in a dilemma.

In the midst of the difficulty, the forbidden army came to report: "Your Majesty, Zhang Xiu led the army out of Yizhou, and is currently stationed on my western border, eyeing the tiger." ”

Not long after, another flying cavalry came to report, "The military situation is urgent, Zhao Yun's army is out of Luoyang, and it is stationing troops on our northern border, threatening to attack Shouchun." ”

It's not over yet, the battle report starts again, "100,000 are in a hurry, Xu Huang's army is out of Jizhou and threatens my northeast border." ”

For a while, there was silence in the hall, and you could hear the needle falling to the ground.

The civil and military officials of Huainan all looked at Yuan Shu, waiting for him to make up his mind.

"Your Majesty, now that the princess is in trouble, the minister can't bear to see the lord suffering from the capture of his beloved daughter, so let's cancel the title of emperor", Zhou Xin saw this, knowing that Yuan Shu's heart had been shaken, but for the sake of face, he didn't want to take the initiative to bring it up, so he took the steps for him at the moment.

In order to avoid others saying that Yuan Shu was forced to cancel the title of emperor due to the pressure of the army, Zhou Xin cleverly said that he loved his daughter, and in this way, Yuan Shu fell into a good reputation.

"Daughter, for your sake, I have to give up this emperor", Yuan Shu let out a long breath, and finally had a step to go down.

"Okay, according to General Liu Xun's wishes, I will immediately cancel the title of emperor and restore the title of General Huainan, when will my daughter be released?" Yuan Shudao.

"General Yuan can recognize the situation, that is the best. As for Miss Yuan Yingying, General Liu said that from now on, the eldest lady will be the general's honored guest, living in Luoyang for a long time, and accompanying Emperor Xian. ”

"Congratulations to General Yuan, the eldest lady has been with the emperor for a long time, the emperor is happy, and the Yuan family is infinitely rich from now on", Zhang Song arched his hand, laughed, and was extremely proud.

"Congratulations, Liu Xun's thoughts, I don't know yet. On the surface, he treated my daughter as a distinguished guest, which is nice, but he took my daughter as a hostage and asked me to fight for you. One day if I don't listen to you, my daughter will die", Yuan Shu was angry in his heart, but he didn't dare to come out.

"Then thank you to the general", the army pressed the border, Yuan Shu had no choice but to bow his noble head.
