Chapter Seventy-Eight: Scheming
Yuan Ji looked at his face, and felt very uncomfortable.
Passive confrontation with the 'new system' of the imperial court was a tacit acquiescence to most officials in Luoyang City.
Everyone knows that His Majesty the young man will definitely be angry and angry, but he never thought that it was such a way to punish his heart.
After today's incident, Huang Wan's career has been cut off.
Others, even more seriously consider the consequences of fighting against the 'new system'!
After a while, Huang Wan slowly turned his head, his expression was complicated, and said, "Shiji, tomorrow I will resign from the official and return to my hometown." ”
He entered Beijing this time, aiming at the third duke, and never thought that it would be this ending.
Huang Wan is an important candidate for the Yuan family to succeed Yuan Kui, and he has spent so much money, how can he let go easily.
Yuan Ji hesitated, but still persuaded: "Ziyan, maybe there is a turnaround, I will go back and find a way with my uncle later." ”
Ziyan, the word of Huang Wan.
The corners of Huang Wan's face moved, as if he was struggling, and after a while, he sighed lightly and said, "I don't want to say more, before leaving, I still have some heartfelt words, and I want to talk to Shi Ji." ”
Yuan Ji knew that Huang Wan had made up his mind, so he nodded helplessly.
Huang Wan's pale face hesitated, and he said slowly: "I...... Guan Taifu is not as good as Ling Zun. Ling Zun acted simply, decisively and powerfully, and everyone was convinced. Taifu is as soft as mud, looking forward and backward, timid, and not the heart of a person who has achieved great things. You have to plan ahead. ”
Yuan Ji's eyes widened suddenly, and his expression was surprised. Unexpectedly, what Huang Wan said was this!
He opened his mouth, but did not retort.
Recently, the Yuan family has been defeated and retreated in the government and the opposition, Yuan Ji is in his eyes and anxious in his heart, but Yuan Kui has hardly done anything, allowing His Majesty to exclude the Yuan family from the court step by step.
As soon as Huang Wan leaves, the 'new system' will be completed, Jiuqing will become an ornament, his uncle is becoming more and more isolated in Shangshutai, and Yuan Ji's momentum has fallen to this point unconsciously!
Huang Wan looked at Yuan Ji's expression and said, "I can only say so much, how to go from now on, you need to be cautious and not careless." This majesty is not like the first emperor, every move has few scruples, and the punishment of the doctor is unknown. Treasure. ”
Seeing this, Yuan Ji's temples agitated, and he got up and raised his hand and said, "Ziyan take care!" ”
Huang Wan nodded silently, his face depressed and lonely.
Yuan Ji left the Huang Mansion and returned to the Yuan Mansion in a carriage, with a lot of worries along the way, all of which were Huang Wan's words.
"Uncle......" Yuan Ji whispered in his heart.
As the 'patriarch' of the next generation of the Yuan family, he was extremely unwilling to the rapid decline of the Yuan family.
"You, you dare to hit me!"
"I'm me, it's you who came up!"
"Yang Wenxian, I'm not done with you!"
Suddenly, a familiar voice came from his ears, Yuan Ji opened the curtains, and saw that it was the Yang Mansion, and he couldn't help but be stunned, and then listened carefully, it was actually his uncle and aunt arguing.
Wen Xian, Yang Biao's words.
The carriage went quickly, Yuan Ji didn't hear much, and said suspiciously: "Haven't my uncle and aunt always been harmonious?" ”
Yuan Ji didn't think much about it, and when he returned to Yuan's mansion, he went straight to Yuan Kui's room.
Yuan Kui was sitting on a stool, soaking his feet.
When he saw Yuan Ji come in, his expression was as usual, and he picked up a footcloth to wipe his feet.
Yuan Ji sent the people away, and said with a solemn expression: "Uncle, a Yanzhou pastor, a royal history Zhongcheng, has it been decided like this?" ”
Yuan Kui wiped his feet, looked at him quietly, and said, "Can't hold your breath?" ”
Yuan Ji took a deep breath, didn't beat around the bush, and said straight to the point: "What is Uncle's plan?" ”
Yuan Kui's eyes were quiet and Yuan Ji looked at each other, seeing that he did not retreat and bow his head like before, he was silent for a moment, and said: "The first emperor was also high-spirited, but then he was trapped in the palace for more than ten years, do you know why?" ”
Yuan Ji twisted his eyebrows, he has been in the office for more than 20 years, and he really doesn't know about this, but he only knows that later the first emperor was addicted to wine, which became more and more ridiculous and very unbearable.
Yuan Kui stood up, walked to the bedroom on crutches, and his voice floated back calmly: "Don't worry, take a long-term view." ”
Seeing that he was still like this, Yuan Ji couldn't suppress the anger in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "Uncle! ”
Yuan Kui didn't seem to hear it, and slowly walked into the bedroom.
Yuan Ji looked at Yuan Kui's back, his face full of annoyance, unwillingness and helplessness.
……
Three days later, Nanyang County, five miles east of Shuishui.
Cao Cao led 2,000 men and rode horses to conquer the Yellow Turban Army in this area.
Beside him was a tall man with a beard and a beard, the man was holding a big knife, his face was calm, and he said: "Meng De, there are only a few hundred bandits, why do you need to come in person." ”
Cao Cao was wearing armor and looked indifferent, and said, "I don't want to exterminate them, but to co-opt them." ”
Xiahoudun looked at it and said, "In front of them is their stockade." ”
Cao Cao also saw it, and shouted when he hit the horse: "Cao Cao, the right middle lang, is ordered to suppress the thief and kill!" ”
"Kill!"
Xiahoudun took the lead and killed the past.
There are hundreds of bandits, no need for bells and whistles.
The Yellow Turban Army not far away was very scattered, there were few wearing armor, most of them were ragged, and their weapons were all swords, guns, clubs, and halberds.
"Don't let anyone go!"
Seeing this, Cao Cao shouted loudly, and led his troops to chase after the group of people who fled the most.
Xiahoudun, as a general, chased ahead of him.
But it didn't take long for his face to change suddenly, and he turned his head and shouted: "Meng De, there is an ambush, retreat!" ”
"Kill!"
Before Xiahou Dan's words fell, countless Yellow Turban troops were killed in all directions, these people wore armor and unified weapons, obviously not ordinary rogues!
Cao Cao turned his horse's head and ran.
"Cao A's resignation!"
Some of the Yellow Turbans rode and shouted, armed with spears, and chased after them.
Cao Cao looked back and hit the horse hard.
Xiahoudun roared angrily, brandished his long knife, and fought hard to break the back.
I don't know how long the fight lasted, Cao Cao and Xiahoudun still got out, crossed the water, and walked on the way back to Nanyang.
Xiahoudun's face was covered with blood, his armor was cut to tatters, and he said angrily: "Meng De, someone must have reported the news!" ”
This is clearly ambushing them, and it must have been premeditated in advance!
Cao Cao had already thought of it, and his long and narrow eyes were full of killing intent.
But he couldn't think of who it was for a while, looked around at the remaining hundreds of people behind him, and said without changing his face: "I just thought it was a group of scattered rogues, and I never thought that it was specially for me Cao Cao." ”
When Xiahou heard this, he shouted: "Mengde, let's go back and reorganize the army, and then kill back!" ”
Cao Cao looked in the direction of Nanyang County, pulled him over, and said in a murderous whisper on his face: "Find out that fine work!" ”
"Good!" Xiahoudun suppressed his anger and said.
Luoyang City, Imperial Palace.
Liu Wei has been doing things smoothly recently, and he is in a very good mood.
At this time, he was in the study, looking at the map of the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty, thinking quietly.
Locally, the most important thing is the state pastor, not only the state pastor of the seven northern states needs to be further refined, Yizhou, Jingzhou, Yangzhou, etc., have also been included in his consideration.
At this moment, Xun You hurriedly came in with a few notes, and said, "Your Majesty is not good, something has happened." ”
Liu Wei glanced up at him and said with a smile: "Why is the Qing family so anxious?" ”
Xun You calmed his mind, handed over the notebook, and said: "Your Majesty, Zhu Zhijun of Qingzhou defeated Licheng, which was converted into more than 3,000 people. The Yanzhou Yellow Turban bandits captured more than ten prefectures and counties. There are traces of the Yellow Turban Army outside Yingchuan, Runan was besieged, Cao Cao was ambushed in Nanyang County, losing nearly 2,000 people, and almost didn't escape......"
Liu Weimeng, who was immersed in a piece of obedience, opened his eyes angrily, and the whole person was instantly woken up.
After a few moments, he slowly sat down in his chair, his eyes unusually calm.
