Feeling that someone was looking at him again, Liu Jian turned his head in Cao Cao's direction again.

Is it him again? This Cao Mengde, what is he always staring at himself?

This is why my brother Liu Bei is not here, otherwise he will definitely beat you up for me.

The eyes of the two people collided, but they saw Cao Cao smile again and nodded to Liu Jian.

Liu Jian just smiled and turned his head to stop looking at him.

……

And over there, Yuan Shao threw an important question to Yuan Ji.

He arched his hand at Yuan Ji and said, "Eldest brother, contact Shang Shutai and the people in the court, and ask Your Majesty to worship the highway as the captain of Changshui, why doesn't my brother know?" ”

Yuan Ji casually picked up the wine lord on the table and raised his head to take a sip.

"This matter is something I have just dealt with in the past few days, and it is not widely known to others, and it is reasonable that the virtuous brother does not know."

As soon as Yuan Ji said this, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu were quite shocked

An important thing crossed their minds.

Yuan Shao seemed to hesitate and asked, "Uncle doesn't know about this?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the hall fell into silence for a while, and no one dared to say a word first.

The atmosphere was unprecedentedly weird.

When he was young, he finally heard Yuan Ji sigh a long sigh and said, "Two virtuous brothers, this is exactly what my brother came to discuss with you today. ”

Speaking of this, Yuan Jiruo unintentionally looked towards Liu Jianzhi's location.

Liu Jian quietly gave Yuan Ji a thumbs up, as if to remind him that he had done a good job, continue!

Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu looked at each other.

Cao Cao chose to look up at the beams, as if he had suddenly developed a strong interest in the roof.

Xu You didn't see the outside, sat upright, pricked up his ears and listened, acting more than the Yuan family.

"Two virtuous brothers, in your opinion, how is the current situation of my Yuan family?" Yuan Ji finally spoke again.

After listening to Yuan Ji's words, Yuan Shu was the first to reply: "What is the eldest brother asking?" I have four generations of three princes of the Yuan family, and my protégés and former officials are all over the state, which is really a heavy weapon of the Han family! ”

Yuan Ji said while sipping his wine: "Yes, the Yuan family does seem to have a deep foundation on the surface, but the tree is very popular, how many people in the world who deliberately provoke trouble are staring at our Yuan family all the time, and how many sinister people are calculating to get some benefits from the Yuan family, and in this world of great controversy, you and I are all on the cusp of the storm, even if we want to hide, we can't dodge." ”

Yuan Shao arched his hand and said, "How did my brother say that today?" Isn't there something hidden? ”

Yuan Ji sighed and said: "There are naturally hidden feelings, and it is not a day or two, some words have been held in my heart for several years, and I don't vomit unpleasantly...... The two need to know that in the past, my mother died, my three brothers came to mourn at my mother's funeral, and more than 30,000 well-known people at home came to mourn, this network is my Yuan family accumulated for several generations, which is understandable, but at the time of the funeral, there were also people who secretly and bluntly slandered you and my brother, and the two virtuous brothers know about this? ”

When Yuan Ji and Yuan Shu's mother died, Yuan Shao was the concubine of Yuan Feng's family in the past, although he passed over, but out of filial piety, he also kept filial piety as the son of Yuan Feng's own family, and tens of thousands of mourners came to mourn at that time, and among them, there were as many as 30,000 who could be called celebrities, and its formation was unprecedented in the Han family.

To put it mildly, with Yuan's fame, there is no need to recruit troops, just by holding a memorial service and using celebrities as the leading soldiers, you can organize an army of tens of thousands of people.

What Yuan Ji said in his mouth, about his mother, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu naturally remembered.

"I wonder why my brother mentioned this? Could it be that someone slandered my brother at the funeral? Yuan Shu's expression became a little gloomy.

Yuan Ji shook the wine jue in his hand, raised his head and drank it all.

"Yes, during the funeral at that time, someone once said - if the world is in chaos, those who are in chaos will be the brothers of the Yuan family."

"Ahem, ahem, ahem!"

As soon as these words came out, Cao Cao on the side suddenly coughed for some reason.

Liu Jian looked at him with a smile.

How? Know scared?

If you don't want people to know, unless you don't do it, there are some things that the surname Yuan doesn't know, but I, a descendant, know a little.

But don't worry, Yuan Ji and I didn't name you.

I thought that some of the events in the Chronicles of Emperor Wu of the Three Kingdoms were fabricated by the author, but now it seems that what can be recorded in the book is not groundless.

Cao Cao was also shocked in his heart.

I only told Wang Jun this in the past, and with his loyalty, if I didn't give it, I would definitely not spread it!

What the hell is alive?

The Yuan brothers were all shocked at this moment, but they didn't notice Cao Cao's abnormality.

Yuan Shao's face turned a little pale, and he frowned and said, "Who would say this?" I really don't know. ”

Yuan Ji sighed: "I don't know who said it, you run around the party all day long, and there are some folk rumors, you naturally can't hear them." ”

When Yuan Shao heard this, his face was quite solemn.

Yuan Shu on the side said: "After the eldest brother said it, I remembered the rumors in Beijing in the past, saying that Yangqiu used to say to his subordinates that Gongqing Hao was like a child of the Yuan family and engaged in self-management. ”

Yuan Ji nodded and said, "Yes, that's right!" Therefore, I and other people of the second generation of the Yuan family have long thought that they have entered the eyes of everyone in the world, and they can't avoid it if they want to, and they can't hide if they want to...... Our brothers seem to have no one to mess with on weekdays, but I don't know how many people are secretly thinking about the three of us! ”

When Liu Jian and Cao Cao heard this, they looked up at Fang Liang together.

Yuan Shu slapped the table case heavily and said: "If you let someone catch these rats, you will definitely pull out their tendons and bones!" ”

Liu Jian, who was on the side, stood up and said to Yuan Ji: "Since the prince has talked about it so far, then I also want to say a few words, when Liu Jian was in Zhuo County, he also heard that the scholars of Youzhou and the people of Haoyouzhong had said something about the Yuan family. ”

Yuan Ji looked at Liu Jian and said, "People from the prefecture and county, how do you say about my Yuan family, please ask Deran to try to say it." ”

Liu Jianlang said: "There are many people in the place who talk about Luoyang, saying that the Yuan family has accumulated three dukes, Guiqing at that time, brothers meet, Kui and like personnel, handsome outside, eunuchs inside, Kui's Zongren, use things in the middle, to Feng, Kui family prime minister, push and worship for help, so the Yuan family is noble in the world, rich and extravagant, the family is not there, the second generation of the Yuan family brothers, good people are famous, and the guests are scattered. Corporal Shao Zhijie, does not choose the virtuous and foolish, and the art is also a chivalrous and good man, and the people who do good things in the world all rush to his door, and there are often a thousand taels of firewood and carts. ”

Yuan Shao heard this, stroked his beard and remained silent.

Yuan Shu sneered: "It's clearly jealousy!" seems to be envious, but in fact it implies derogatory words. ”

Yuan Ji glanced back and forth at Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu who were present: "Among the Yuan family, the most famous ones in the world today are you and my three brothers, and at the same time, the most vulnerable to attack are also our three brothers. ”

"Uncle is old, he is nearly sixty years old, over the years, many things have been beyond our strength, we can't have everything to worry about the uncle's labor, this Yuan family will be in charge of Brother Wei sooner or later...... No, to be exact, it's our people in the room who are in charge. ”

After that, Yuan Ji looked at Yuan Shao and said: "Originally, even though you have passed into the second uncle's room, my brother has never forgotten that you are my brother, no matter where you are, my brother regards you as a person in this room!" ”

Yuan Shao hurriedly got up and said to Yuan Ji: "Brother is so affectionate and righteous, my brother is grateful!" ”

Yuan Ji glanced at Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu back and forth, and said: "The current Yuan family seems to be calm, but in fact, they are kicking a lot, you and I brothers still need to worry a lot for the Yuan family, and also share a lot of worries for my uncle. ”

When Yuan Shao heard this, his mind turned sharply.

He has always been a person who dares to take things by surprise and hide his unpreparedness, and his style of action is very different from that of his brothers.

After listening to what Yuan Ji said today, he already understood the deep tone in Yuan Ji's words.

The meaning of the words is nothing more than - let him take power earlier, it is good for everyone, and it is good for Yuan Kui, after all, the sixty-year-old man, there is no tomorrow today, and it is easy to lose his life if he manages too many things.

And looking at the meaning of Yuan Ji's words, he hopes to be in charge of the Yuan family's jade with him and Yuan Shu.

This is to win the support of him and Yuan Shu.

To put it bluntly, it is also for the two of them to stand in line.

Yuan Ji's performance today is very different from his usual style of guarding the lord, his words contain a deep enterprising heart in the open and the dark, and he uses both grace and power, first forcing them to stand in line in the name of his father and brother, and then seducing them with the same mind of holding jade.

Yuan Jiken divided power with Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, which made Yuan Shao amazed.

This is by no means an ordinary family head.

In fact, Yuan Ji didn't want to do this, but Liu Jian had already told him that Yuan Kui had formulated the business policy of the next generation of the Yuan family, that is, the suzerain was in charge of the power, and the side brothers were in charge of the small power, even if Yuan Ji didn't want to divide the power, Yuan Kui also had a way to divide part of the power and resources of the Yuan family's suzerain.

Since the wood has been completed, why should Yuan Kui do this favor?

Again, those who are good at controlling power are not as good as those who are good at controlling others.

……

After weighing the pros and cons, Yuan Shao no longer hesitated.

In Yuan Ji, he saw the hope that he could show his talent even more!

He was the first to say: "The eldest brother's words are very good, and I wish to put my brother first, and everything is based on my brother's horse!" ”

Yuan Shu pondered for a moment, and he also figured it out in his heart.

The elder brother has already recommended himself as the captain of Changshui, and in the whole clan, as long as Yuan Ji and he are from the same father and mother, now that Yuan Ji has expressed his willingness to promote himself, how can he not be on the Tao?

He got up slowly and said, "The eldest brother is so well-intentioned for the sake of the family and the foundation of the Yuan family, and my brother deeply admires it!" The elder brother is very good at what he says, and the younger brother should do his best, and the elder brother will never shirk if he has an order! ”

Yuan Ji couldn't help laughing when he heard this.

"Very good! With your two brothers by my side, our brothers are united, what else can't be crossed? ”

Speaking of this, he looked at Cao Cao, Liu Jian, and Xu Yu again: "And Deran, Meng De, Ziyuan!" ”

This play was directed by Liu Jian, and he is naturally familiar with it.

I saw Liu Jian being the first to get up: "I am willing to serve the prince!" ”

Cao Cao sighed and said secretly: This second generation of the Yuan family is matched with Liu Jian, it is really amazing! The righteousness is awe-inspiring, the grace and power are combined, and the pressure is pressing step by step, so that you can't refuse!

"the Death!"

Xu Yu also said: "Xu should also put the head of the family first!" ”

Yuan Ji nodded with satisfaction and said: "Okay, with your words, I will rest assured, just wait for the New Year to arrive, I will give a major message to the Son of Heaven, you must help when the time comes, don't forget today's words!" ”

The speaker has no intention, the listener has a heart, Cao Cao secretly said in his heart what Yuan Ji wants to say to the Son of Heaven, so solemn?

Could it be that Liu Jian taught him again?

Yuan Shao showed his loyalty and said: "Eldest brother, my uncle asked me to investigate this year's filial piety resume to see if there is anyone who can be accommodated, the list of candidates has been prepared, and I will send someone to the eldest brother's mansion in the coming day, and ask the eldest brother to read it." ”

Yuan Shu on the side saw that Yuan Shao had handed over the list, and he naturally couldn't hide it.

"The younger brother should be like this, and the roster will be sent to the eldest brother's mansion the next day, and it will not be delayed."

Yuan Ji stroked his beard and nodded with satisfaction: "The two virtuous brothers have a lot of hard work, you can send the list at the right time, I see that if there is no problem, you can go directly to handle it, as for the uncle, you don't need to be clear, I will report afterwards!" ”

Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu took a deep breath.

Is this going to stop this matter directly from Yuan Kui's hands?

It's so different!

……

……

The banquet dispersed, and the Yuan brothers, Liu Jian, Cao Cao, and Xu You each drunkenly bid farewell to Yuan Ji and left.

Cao Cao deliberately fell behind, walking side by side with Liu Jian.

He said in a low voice as he walked: "Today's prince is really different from the past, and his words, I have never heard the prince say in the past, it is really amazing!" It seems that I worshipped a famous teacher. ”

Liu Jian glanced at Cao Cao: "The prince is the head of the Yuan family, with heavy responsibilities, growing every moment, naturally changing with each passing day, and the dynasty is different." ”

Cao Cao said in a low voice: "It's just that this day is changing too quickly." ”

Liu Jian burped and sighed: "Brother Meng De, when the mother of the prince died, did you ever mourn?" ”

"Of course I went."

"That sentence that says that those who mess with the world will be the son of the Yuan family, have you ever heard it?"

Cao Cao's face changed a little in an instant, but it quickly turned back to normal.

"Hehe, at that time, there were a lot of people talking and saying everything, and I was indulging in pain for the beginning, and I couldn't remember a lot of words and things."

Liu Jian smiled and patted Cao Cao's hand: "Brother Meng De is rarely confused. ”

After saying that, Liu Jian arched his hand towards Cao Cao and left first.

Cao Cao sighed and squinted his eyes at Liu Jian's disappearing back.

"Hehe, I actually make good use of the same means as Cao, it's amazing, yes, I'm confused, but everyone is drunk, but you may not be the only one who wakes up."
