The gossip news that Zhao Xing was marrying a concubine before the New Year, with the spread of "Jin Bao" and the rest of the newspapers, was already known to the world in the first month.

Luoyang and Chenliu, the closest to Crouching Tiger City, got accurate news before Chinese New Year's Eve.

After Liu Bei heard that Zhao Xing was begging for his wife again, he showed disdain, but he still felt a little apprehensive in his heart. Because he has now begged women in four or five rooms, two of whom are still the daughters of the big men in the court, but he has given birth to two boys and three girls until now, which is incomparable with Zhao Xing's "livestock".

After Cao Cao heard that Zhao Xing was in a hurry to ask for a wife a few years ago, he was quite complacent, because he calculated that he had more than 20 women, and now he has more than 30 children, which is even more prosperous than Zhao Xing.

Regardless of whether Liu Bei is really disdainful, or whether Cao Cao is really complacent, anyway, these two guys who like to play intrigue and trickery are secretly continuing to operate the strategy they have set in Kaifeng City.

Before the Chinese New Year, Huang Chengyan married his daughter Huang Shuo (Yueying) to his good son-in-law Zhuge Kongming, who had been fancy for a long time. Liu Bei personally invited his teacher Lu Zhi to witness the marriage of Kong Ming and Yueying, and held a feast on the "Pitching Virtue Drunken Immortal Building" in Luoyang City to celebrate.

Huang Yueying, a strange woman who is ingenious and proficient in the design and production of organs, finally threw herself into Liu Bei's camp in disguise, and I don't know if it will bring some new troubles to Zhao Xing in the future.

According to the rule that news spreads from near to far, by the time Yuan Shu learned that Zhao Xing was marrying a new wife in Crouching Tiger City, it was already the second day of the first month of the eighth year of Guangxi (200 AD).

Yuan Shu, who was originally in a good mood, heard that his subordinates reported the incident, his face was full of gloomy color, and he fiercely pushed away the maid who was nestled in his arms, and entered his study without saying a word, and then the sound of "Ding Ling clang" came from inside.

The subordinates in the Yuan Mansion were so frightened that they didn't dare to speak out, for fear that one would accidentally anger Yuan Shu, and then be used as a gas bucket by the moody lord and tortured to death.

Last time, when Yuan Shu learned the exact news that Zhao Xing had returned from the Western Regions safe and sound, three poor maids died in Yuan Shu's bedroom at night. These poor girls died in such a tragic condition that the people who went in to clean up the room trembled every time they remembered it.

The reason why Yuan Shu was so angry after hearing that Zhao Xing had married his wife was because he was now approaching the age of knowing the Mandate of Heaven (50 years old), and the ambition that had been hidden in his heart for many years could not be realized at all, and he didn't even get a throne until now. On the other hand, Zhao Xing, who has just passed the age of 30 years old, has been named the king of Pingxi, and with the passage of time, it is very likely that he will stand on behalf of the Han Dynasty.

Since Yuan Shu was a teenager, he has been mixed in the Goolan horse stall, and he has played with countless women, but he doesn't know what's going on, and now he has two sons and a daughter under his knees. If the divine doctor Hua Tuo can diagnose and treat him, he will definitely tell Yuan Shu: It is because you started playing with women when you were a teenager and lost your kidney element early, so it caused the semen to be thin, and no matter how much you ask for a daughter-in-law, you can't give birth to a child!

Zhao Xing is now beautiful, and he has many children under his knees. Yuan Shao, one of the two veins of the Yuan family, was uprooted by Zhao Xing, and now people of all ages are confined in Taihang Mountain to sweep the tomb, which can be described as a great shame;

Whenever he thought of these things, Yuan Shu felt a raging flame in his chest, as if he wanted to burn himself and all the people and things he saw.

Yuan Shu was furious, and the people in the mansion were both afraid and worried, so they hurried to report the matter to the eldest prince Yuan Yao. Yuan Yao heard that his father was furious when he heard that Zhao Xing had married a wife, and he was also very worried, so he went to his uncle Yuan Yin for help and asked him to comfort Yuan Shu.

Yuan Yin is Yuan Shu's younger brother (another way of saying cousin), although this person has no ability, but his kung fu of slapping horses and flattering is really excellent, and he has relied on this shamelessness over the years, and he has been mixing easily and comfortably under Yuan Shu's hands. Hearing from his nephew that Yuan Shu was sulking alone in the house, Yuan Yin volunteered to persuade Yuan Shu.

The people of Yuan's mansion trembled and reported to Yuan Shu, saying that Master Yuan came to ask for a meeting, and Yuan Shu let Yuan Yin into his study.

Looking at the messy study, Yuan Yin knew that Yuan Shu was only afraid that he would be angry this time, so he said: "Big brother, since the depression in your chest is irrepressible, why don't you try to get rid of it? Why do you want to enclose yourself in the room and can't get along with yourself!"

Yuan Shu didn't know what was going on, as long as he listened to Yuan Yin, his mood would be better, so he said a little lazily: "Brother, you said it lightly, do you know why I'm angry for my brother?"

Yuan Yin replied unhurriedly: "The eldest brother is angry, but Zhao Guochang is the king and he can't get it, because he is worried about the future of the Yuan family!" Yuan Yin said this beautifully, not only said the root of Yuan Shu's anger, but also put on a high hat of scruples for Yuan Shu.

Sure enough, after Yuan Yin said this, Yuan Shu's face looked a little better, he sighed and said, "Alas, my brother still knows what I think in my heart." Afterwards, Yuan Shu poured out the bitter water in his stomach to Yuan Yin.

Maybe it's because of his age, or maybe he really has found the object to talk to, Yuan Shu's verbosity is not less than two hours before and after, and he really gets tired of listening to Yuan Yin. If you want to stay in the future, Yuan Yin is a competent psychological counselor.

After listening to Yuan Shu's nagging patiently, Yuan Yin was really afraid that Yuan Shu would come to talk to him again tomorrow, so his brain moved and gave Yuan Shu an idea. He said: "Brother, now Yangzhou is resisting the invasion of Zhao Xing's subordinates head-on, which is the eastern barrier of the imperial court, and the Yuan family has worked hard for the Han Dynasty for hundreds of years, and the credit is even more shocking, so you might as well report to the court and ask to be crowned the king of Huainan." In order to win you over to continue to resist Zhao Xing, Xing Xu Zhen agreed to this matter. ”

Yuan Shu listened to Yuan Yin's suggestion and felt that there was really some truth, so he excitedly summoned Ji Ling, Zhang Xun, Yuan Yao, Zhuge Jin, Yang Hong, Yan Xiang, Li Feng, Xun Zheng, Han Xian, Huang Tai and others, and said his intention to ask the imperial court to crown the king of Huainan.

Everyone understands in their hearts that Yuan Shu's so-called request is just a polite statement of persecution. Everyone also heard that Yuan Shu has not been in a good mood recently and likes to abuse people to death. So when Yuan Shu said his thoughts, few people came forward to oppose it. Of course, there weren't many ** applauds, because it was a stupid idea that was killing itself.
