Yuan Kui's son Yuan Manlai died suddenly of illness after the New Year, and in order to support Dong Zhuo to become a famous general, Yuan Kui also made great efforts, but seeing that the results of the plan were about to be divided in half, he was suddenly angry, and new pain and old pain came together, so that Yuan Kui fell ill directly on the couch.

After hearing that Yuan Kui was sick, the sons and nephews of the Yuan family hurriedly came to visit.

……

"Uncle has worked too hard during this time, and because of the early death of his younger brother, he is still looking forward to taking care of his health, and the Yuan family cannot live without his uncle."

Listening to Yuan Ji's words, Yuan Kui, who was lying on the bed, sighed: "The old man is old, he is not careful, and he has repeatedly made mistakes, which is really in vain for the Yuan family. ”

Yuan Ji hurriedly said: "Uncle must not say this, the matter of the Yellow Turban is undecided, Dong Zhuo's matter is inevitably not successful, uncle does not have to be discouraged, the Yuan family cannot lack uncle." ”

Yuan Kui stretched out his hand and shook Yuan Ji's hand, and asked: "Shiji, Dong Zhuo's move, my uncle didn't do well, and it affected all the gates, your knowledge now is above the old man, can you give the old man some advice?" What should we do next? ”

"Hmm...... This ......"

When Yuan Ji heard this, he lowered his head and pondered, without saying a word.

It's not that he doesn't want to help Yuan Kui solve difficulties, it's just that local affairs are not his forte, in the past, once he encountered such a thing, he always asked Liu Jian to discuss good strategies, and now that Liu Jian is not in Luoyang, Yuan Ji is a little embarrassed.

Yuan Kui saw that Yuan Ji didn't speak, his heart was quite depressed, and he sighed.

At this time, Yuan Kui suddenly saw Yuan Shao behind Yuan Ji.

So, Yuan Kui held the hope of trying it out, and asked Yuan Shao: "I originally thought that at this time, where should the chess pieces fall?" ”

Yuan Shao arched his hand and said: "The Yellow Turban Headquarters is in Hebei, and Jizhou is the middle of Hebei, according to his nephew's assumption, if Dong Zhuo can defeat Zhang Jiao, Jizhou will be chaotic after the war, and the local people will not be attached, so please ask the Son of Heaven to guard the town with a herd."

"If this person is Dong Zhuo, it is best to control it, after all, he is just a reckless man on one side, and he is unpopular in Kanto, even if he gets the position of state pastor, he has to rely on our Yuan family."

"It's just that now, since the merit is uncertain, then you might as well send someone to show the righteousness of the emperor, if he is willing to cooperate, it is not a good candidate."

Yuan Kui suddenly coughed violently, Yuan Ji was startled, hurriedly got up and came to the table, picked up the water and came to the bed.

Yuan Kui took a sip of water and took a breath for a while before he came to his senses.

"The Huangfu family is the body of the gate, the two generations have the sincerity of returning to the family, the disaster of the party in the year, the corporal door in the world has been implicated in many people, Song Zhicong Uncle Huangfu Gui is shameful that he has not been implicated in the party affairs, and spontaneously wrote to the court to remove him from his position, and he has been reduced to a party member, hehe, it is a pity that the first emperor was smart, and he has never paid attention to him, and his Huangfu family has always been listed in the Jiangmen."

Yuan Shao said: "Because of this, to this day, Huangfu Song also has a heart, before hearing about the Yellow Turban Incident, he advised His Majesty to remove the party, it is not difficult to pull him into the ranks, but when it comes to influence in Guanxi, my Yuan family's reputation has always been inferior to the Yang family, if this matter is to be done quickly, you still have to ask Yang Taiwei to take action, if there is Hongnong Yang to pull Huangfu Yizhen, this matter can be decided." ”

"It's a pity that the fierce generals will be attributed to the Yang family." Yuan Kui sighed.

"Uncle don't worry, what we want to promote is just a precedent for the establishment of a pastor, the yellow scarf is flat, and the people of Jizhou, where its headquarters are located, will not be attached, then you can get up in a book, please Your Majesty to establish a state pastor, as long as there is a precedent, it is enough for us, whether it is Huangfu Song or Dong Zhuo, not to mention that it is the vassal general of the Yang family who is the state pastor, it doesn't matter if the ancient scriptures are set up as the shepherd,"

"After all, ancient and modern schools of learning are small disputes, and what the two classics and His Majesty are fighting for is life and death, and if you control the door of life and death, the Taoism will not be a problem."

Yuan Kui nodded and said, "Internal strife, big strife, and life, but also." ”

Yuan Ji hurriedly said: "At the beginning, you don't have to forget, there is still De Ran who can be used as a pastor." ”

Yuan Shao frowned when he heard Liu Jian's name.

"Liu Deran, although he is a close friend of his brother, he is also a half-body courtier of His Majesty, brother don't forget!"

Yuan Kui forcibly struggled to get up, and said: "Yes, the merit of Zhang Jiao is related to the first person to establish a herd, even if it is given to the slaves of Liangzhou, not the royal family of Youzhou!" Shiji, don't be emotional. ”

Yuan Ji sighed when he heard this, and arched his hand: "What my uncle said is extremely true, and what he said at the beginning is also reasonable. ”

……

……

Out of Yuan Kui's mansion, Yuan Ji stepped directly into the car and was about to go back to the house, but saw Yuan Shao hurrying from behind.

"Why does my brother ignore me, because of my suitable words, and make my brother unhappy?"

Yuan Ji squinted at Yuan Shao: "Where are your own carriages and horses?" ”

"It's not far away, but I can let them go back on their own, does my brother want to give me a ride?"

Yuan Ji waved his sleeves at Yuan Shao: "Get in the car!" ”

After Yuan Shao got into Yuan Ji's car, Yuan Ji ordered Yuan Shao to be sent back to the mansion first.

On the way, Yuan Ji kept a calm face and did not speak.

Yuan Shao smiled and said first: "Brother is angry because of his brother's words? ”

Yuan Ji was dissatisfied: "De Ran is half of the royal family, but he is also my descendant, why should he be so blunt in the beginning, but how can I feel good in my heart?" ”

Yuan Shaochang gave a salute: "My brother is just for the big things in the family, and he is anxious and fast, and he hopes that his brother will forgive his sins." ”

Yuan Shao made a big gift to make amends, and Yuan Ji didn't care, in terms of mind, Yuan Ji was okay, at least better than Yuan Shu.

"Forget it, you're unintentional too."

"Thank you, brother, for your understanding."

Then, I listened to Yuan Shaodao: "Brother, although Your Majesty is resourceful today, but the vision is not long-term, the Gongqing clan replaced Lu Shangshu with ten dollars per acre, Your Majesty thought that he had a plan, but I don't know that after this incident, we must promote the establishment of the pastor in Jizhou because of the destruction of the army, once this opening is opened, everything can be slowly promoted in the future." ”

"Lu Shangshu is well-known in the sea, and Liu Deran is his protégé, they are all self-appointed and clear-minded, in this matter, they may not be used by us, or Dong Zhuo or Huangfu Song is better used."

Yuan Ji said lightly: "Then we have to wait for the great merit of Zhang Jiao to fall on the head of Dong Zhuo or Huangfu Yizhen." ”

Yuan Shao laughed and said: "These two are Liangzhou warriors, generals of a hundred battles, I don't think Liu Deran can win these two." ”

Yuan Ji heard this and was silent.

In fact, speaking from his heart, Yuan Ji also felt that Liu Jian couldn't take any credit in the hands of Dong Zhuo and Huangfu Song.

After all, the resumes of those two people's conquests are there.

How old is Liu Jiancai?

I am afraid that the time of commanding soldiers and horses is longer than that of Liu Jian.

"Brother, as long as the matter of establishing a pastoral is precedent, everything will be accomplished in the future!"

Yuan Ji said lightly: "How to become a success?" It's still early, with today's deep planning, and his style of selling official beards, even if he opens his mouth and sets up a pastoral, I am afraid that his tenure is only a year and a half, what kind of storm can it become? ”

Yuan Shao said with a smile: "It doesn't matter how long the time is, just to let him set a precedent, yes, when there are many tricks today, this Jizhou pastor who pacifies the Yellow Turban, it is estimated that he will be able to be a person for three or five months at most, and then he will inevitably be taken down by His Majesty for a reason,"

"But my brother needs to know that since the rise of Guangwu in this dynasty, in addition to Emperor Guangwu and Emperor Ming, the ten emperors of the past dynasties have never lived beyond the age of thirty-five, and the first emperor collapsed at thirty-five, and he has a high life among the emperors, and his majesty is also nearly thirty years old, and he is addicted to wine and is too indulgent,"

"I had a casual conversation with the Imperial Physician Ling last year, Your Majesty has been suffering from major and small illnesses in the past three years, although they are not stubborn diseases, but they are all caused by the consumption of essence and internal demand, like such a son of heaven who died for the sake of beauty, I don't think he will be able to survive the first emperor!"

"Shh Yuan Ji stretched out a finger and said, "Don't be vain! ”

"Yes, yes, my brother taught me a lesson, my brother Meng Lang!"

"However, according to my brother's opinion, His Majesty is good at scheming, even if he is a pastor, he will also use the method of replacing the official lord to stabilize the authority of the society and limit the power of the state pastor, this is his wisdom, but the only thing he is not wise about is that he misestimated his body!"

Yuan Ji smiled: "Yes, everyone thinks that they can live a long time, and they don't think they will die early, Your Majesty is really not good at this, if he wakes up a little, he will never indulge in lust like this, as you said, I think he will not live long." ”

Yuan Shao stroked his beautiful beard and said proudly: "If Your Majesty dies, no matter who of his two children ascends the throne, they will all be young, and then my brother and uncle will be able to unite with the Yang family and control the military and political affairs of a country. As soon as the party is dissolved, thousands of Yuanmen's children enter the court, how honorable is it? ”

Yuan Ji heard Yuan Shao say this, and his heart was ethereal.

He "supported" the young master, controlled the military and political affairs of a country, several brothers took up the post of shepherd, screened the domain for the country, thousands of old officials were born into the court, internal and external, and the military and political affairs of a country were all in his hands.

"The arms of the original true brother too! I am in the middle of the day, and my brother is outside the wall, and I am really solid as gold, and the next day I will be the lintel of the brother's light, and I will not be disappointed with you. ”

"Thank you, big brother!"
