What is the easiest thing to destroy a person?
Desire. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
If a person cannot control his desires, he is not far from failure. This is especially true as the leader of a faction. If you can't control your desires, you're not far from perdition.
What is Yuan Shu's desire? That is to let the Yuan family replace the Liu family, of course, this is under his leadership.
The desire to replace the Liu family is not sudden, but gradually formed, perhaps Yuan Kui did not think about making the Yuan family an emperor at first, but just wanted to continue to grow the Yuan family, so he gave Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu the two brothers Jizhou and Yuzhou respectively, even if there is only one success, they can continue to carry forward the lintel of the Yuan family. Or, if both of them succeed, they can join forces to take charge of the Han court again, just like Dong Zhuo.
Yuan Kui's plan is good, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu are also more competitive, and in a short period of time, they have become the leaders of the Kwantung princes, and have become the first princes, especially Yuan Shao, who led the various princes of Kwantung as the leader of the alliance.
It's a pity that Yuan Kui made thousands of calculations and missed a problem. Yes, according to his plan, the Yuan Shao brothers will definitely succeed in the end, but he has not been able to solve the problem of the brother's wall.
Yuan Shu is the son-in-law, Yuan Shao is the eldest son, older than Yuan Shu, and his talent also surpasses Yuan Shu, and later he was passed on to Yuan Cheng, Yuan Kui did not look down on him because of Yuan Shao's background, and he was also trained in the same way, and relied on him very much, which made Yuan Shu dissatisfied with him. But with Yuan Kui here, Yuan Shu didn't dare to say anything, and honestly acted according to Yuan Kui's plan. But after Yuan Kui was killed by Dong Zhuo, Yuan Shu couldn't stand Yuan Shao anymore.
Yuan Shu doesn't look down on Yuan Shao, although Yuan Shao and him are the same father, but Yuan Shu scolded Yuan Shao directly as a "house slave", which shows how incompatible the two are.
The two brothers were at odds with each other and demolished each other, from the dispute over the alliance leader of Dong to the later Yuan Shu going north, and there was still a Yanzhou and Cao Cao between the two, otherwise they could really start a war directly. It is precisely because of this that there was the wonderful Three Kingdoms era later, otherwise the two would unite and work together, so what would be Cao Cao and Liu Bei!
Maybe Yuan Kui didn't expect that Dong Zhuo would bring a series of consequences to Beijing, he tore off the last fig leaf of the Han Dynasty, and let the world see the weakness of the Han Dynasty, and since then, the fate of the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty is not controlled by himself, but by others. Correspondingly, the ambitions of the various princes swelled dramatically.
The position of the Son of Heaven, the Ninety-Five, who doesn't want to, but some people just think about it, and some people can't help but try. And Yuan Shu is undoubtedly the latter. Especially after he got the heirloom jade seal, he felt more and more that his destiny was in his own, and his desire for that position became stronger and stronger.
Although Yuan Shu has a big flaw in his character, he is definitely not stupid, otherwise how can he be in charge of such a large territory for several years, and in the game, it is also a 7th-order existence. He didn't know that in the current situation, it would do more harm than good to be called emperor, but in the end, he ignored the opposition of his generals and insisted on being emperor.
The matter of becoming the emperor, of course, is not so simple, but there is a set of processes, and only two years after entering Jian'an, Yuan Shu has already begun to act. In fact, before that, there were already signs. When the Son of Heaven first entered Jinyang and promoted the princes from all walks of life, even Yuan Shao expressed his gratitude, but Yuan Shu did not move from beginning to end, neither saying refusal nor acceptance.
Liu Feng knew in advance about Yuan Shu's plan to become emperor, and he didn't know what Yuan Shu thought, so he actually sent him an invitation letter and invited him to attend the ceremony of his accession to the throne. After receiving the invitation, Liu Feng was actually very puzzled, Yuan Shu wouldn't be so naΓ―ve, right? I just cater to him a few times in action, does this guy feel that he is on his side? You know, you still have the identity of a "great Han clan"!
Liu Feng was happy to see Yuan Shu become emperor, because only if Yuan Shu took this step and made a fatal mistake, would he give all the princes an excuse to besiege Yuan Shu together. With a strong neighbor, Liu Feng has always been unsteady in his heart, and only by beating Yuan Shu can Liu Feng develop better in the future. Even if Cao Cao or someone else unified the Central Plains at that time, Liu Feng would not mind a big war at that time. At that time, I don't know who is strong and who is weak!
Although I am happy in my heart, I can't show it, and I still have to do superficial articles. Because in the eyes of others, the two sides have always been allies, and now that Yuan Shu has made a mistake, if he doesn't persuade and remind him, it will damage his reputation in the future.
So, even if he was unwilling in his heart, even if he hoped that Yuan Shu would soon become emperor, Liu Feng could only endure and write a letter of admonition to Yuan Shu, just like Sun Ce in history. Sure enough, there was no more letter from Yuan Shu after that, and the armies of Jiujiang and Lujiang began to be mobilized, just to guard against Liu Feng.

"Lord, do you really want to do this?" In the simple "palace" made by Pengcheng Yuan Shu, Yan Xiangzheng persuaded bitterly, "In the past few years, General Liu has been chasing the lord, and now even General Liu in Jiangdong has advised the lord not to do anything arrogant, I am afraid that no one in the world will agree." Once the lord is proclaimed emperor, I am afraid that he will be crusaded by the whole world! β
"It's ridiculous, the lord is favored by heaven and inherits the unification, which is a move that obeys heaven's fate. Don't you hear the saying 'those who represent the Han should be high'? The name of the lord should be so. And the Yuan family came out of Chen, after being the Great Shun, he used the earth to bear the fire, and he had to be lucky, and the lord was called the emperor, which must be a good omen. At this moment, a man dressed as a warlock retorted, "If the lord inherits the throne, there will be great righteousness, and he will be invincible in this crusade against the princes." β
"Zhang Xuan, it's you, a demon, who bewitches the lord to be the emperor, what do you want? If the lord fails, what good will it do you? Say, "Are you a fine worker sent by someone else?" Yan Xiang was immediately furious and directly rebuked the warlock Zhang Xuan.
"I have been cultivating for decades, observing the stars and knowing that the destiny of heaven is here, I specially came to visit, how can I talk about being sent by people? It's Lord Yan, who is bent on preventing the lord from going further, what kind of heart do you have? Zhang Shu fought back without showing weakness.
"You ......"
"Enough!" Just when Yan Xiang wanted to continue to refute, Yuan Shu got angry, and stopped the dispute between the two with an angry shout, "And because they are all Lone's henchmen, don't hurt the harmony for this matter." Master Yan, the matter of the founding of the country has been agreed upon, and it will definitely not be changed. As for what you are worried about, it is not a problem, as long as we maintain our strong strength, who dares to provoke us? β
"Liu Feng is just a temptation, and Lone has never had hope for him, after all, he is a member of the Han family. Since he doesn't have the same heart as us, then we should guard against it in the future. When the next matter is settled, he will send troops south and take Jiangdong. β
Although Yuan Shu has not yet been called the emperor, he is already called a lonely widow.
Yuan Shu was not stupid, of course he knew that he would have opposition to the emperor, so he deployed heavy troops in various places bordering other princes to prevent possible surprise attacks. Although Liu Feng's reply was unexpected by Yuan Shu, Yuan Shu did not mean to change his mind.
Just like Zhang Shu said, the destiny of heaven is already in me, what can you do with mortals?
But he forgot what the result would be if Zhang Hao deceived him.
In March of the second year of Jian'an, Yuan Shu, who had made all the preparations, proclaimed himself emperor in Pengcheng, established the name Zhongshi, and placed hundreds of officials and ministers, and the world was in an uproar.
