Chapter 20: Destiny Is Mine!
"Eight hundred miles expedited! Edict of the Son of Heavenββ! β
The voice was heard from afar, and then a dusty post man ran into the main hall, panting and raising the yellow cloth in his hand.
"Edict of the Son of Heaven! After the general and Yangzhou pastor Yuan Shu received the order! β
Everyone in the hall was stunned when they heard this.
Edict of the Son of Heaven? Where did the edict of the Son of Heaven come from.
Or rather...... Which edict of the Son of Heaven was it?
Yuan Shu glanced at the holy decree in the hand of the post guard and asked, "Where did this edict come from?" Is it Jizhou or Xuxian? β
The post guard breathed a sigh of relief, and then replied, "General Hui is from Jizhou. β
Jizhou? Yuan Shao?
Hearing the location of this holy decree, Yuan Shu frowned, and there was a faint feeling in his heart.
The holy decree was issued from Yuan Shao's side, so naturally it could not really be the will of the Son of Heaven, it must be an edict issued by Yuan Shao in the name of the Son of Heaven!
He had always been at odds with that concubine, and now that he had sent him a holy decree, he certainly didn't have any good intentions.
"Show it to me."
Yuan Shu said that he planned to take a look at the content of the holy decree first.
If it was something that was not good for him, then he would directly refuse on the grounds that he didn't know which was the true Son of Heaven.
Soon the holy decree was presented to Yuan Shu.
Yuan Shu took the holy decree and looked at it carefully, his expression quickly changed, first he was puzzled, and then he was angry!
"This concubine! Ann dare to insult me! β
Yuan Shu slapped the table heavily and scolded angrily.
The other strategists in the hall were taken aback.
Yan Xiang was a little puzzled and asked, "My lord, what is written in this holy decree?" Why are you so angry? β
Yuan Shu said hatefully: "That concubine pretended to be the Son of Heaven and canonized himself as a general and a great Sima, but only canonized me as a captain!" Bow down to Him! β
"I am the sister-in-law of the Yuan family, how dare he be above me as a concubine raised by a small servant?!"
"This son is too deceitful!"
The more Yuan Shu spoke, the more annoyed he felt, and he grabbed the holy decree again and threw it on the ground, as if it was Yuan Shao's head.
Although it was a great disrespectful sin to insult the Holy Decree, the post man in charge of delivering the Holy Decree did not dare to say anything when he saw this, but lowered his head as if he did not see it.
When Yan Xiang and the other courtiers heard this, they were all silent.
In all fairness, being canonized as a lieutenant is not a bad thing, this is the position of the third duke! It can't be considered low.
It is necessary to know that the fourth generation and the third duke of the Yuan family made the Yuan family firmly at the top of the major families, and was known as the surname Zhong second only to the surname Liu!
It's just that they all know the dislike between their father-in-law and Yuan Shao, although they are half-brothers, they have never been at odds, and they all want to be separated.
Now when he hears Yuan Shao canonized like this, he will naturally be angry.
But these are personal grievances between the two brothers, and they are not good at saying much.
And after Yuan Shu lost the holy decree, he was still angry.
Since he was a child, Yuan Shao has been favored by the elders in the family, and he has been pressed everywhere, obviously he is just a concubine, but he is regarded as the future helmsman of the Yuan family!
Even when he crusaded against Dong Zhuo at the beginning, the princes from all walks of life also promoted Yuan Shao as the leader of the alliance, instead of choosing to push him!
Why!
What is he worse than that concubine?
"Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao, with the Son of Heaven in your hand, you can't wait to come to me to show off your might?"
"Captain...... Ha ha! What a captain! β
Yuan Shu laughed angrily and gritted his teeth.
He didn't care about the position of the third prince at all, for him, this position was more like an insult, as if it was given to him!
If Yuan Shao stood in front of him now, he would definitely draw his sword and cut him to vent the hatred in his heart!
"The Lord is angry, this is just a holy decree issued by Yuan Shao in the name of the Son of Heaven, you don't need to pay attention to it, just ignore it."
Yang Hong opened his mouth to persuade.
"Neglect?"
Yuan Shu raised his voice suddenly, and said angrily: "That concubine almost laughed at me to my face!" He thought he was something! I need his handout?! β
"I am the son-in-law of the Yuan family, and now I occupy Yangzhou, sitting on the richest in the world, with millions of armor, and countless elite soldiers, what does he compare with me!"
"I am the heir of the Yuan family! I am the future master of the world! β
Yuan Shu was already so angry at this time that he couldn't choose to speak.
Hearing his words, everyone in the hall changed their faces, and they all felt cold sweat on their backs.
That's a great rebellion!
Although the Han Dynasty is now in decline, the people's hearts are still there, and at present, the princes of all parties are also in the name of supporting the Han family, and do not dare to show their ambitions.
Even Dong Zhuo didn't dare to say that he was the co-master of the world, but just manipulated the Son of Heaven as a puppet!
Yuan Shu's words are undoubtedly heart-wrenching.
In the main hall, the two generals under Yuan Shu's command, Zhang Xun and Qiao Rui (Rui), glanced at each other, and then Zhang Xun suddenly stepped out of the ranks and rushed towards the post guard.
"Sneerββ!"
With a flash of cold light, before the post guard could react, his head was directly cut off by Zhang Xun, blood sprayed several feet high, and the body fell to the ground weakly.
The head of the postman rolled to the ground, his bloodstained face still shocked, and he didn't understand why he died.
"Y-What are you doing?"
Seeing Zhang Xun's sudden killing, Yuan Shu was taken aback, and his sanity returned a little, and he couldn't help asking.
Zhang Xun was covered in blood, holding a knife on the ground, kneeling down on one knee and said: "This post guard pretended to pass on the holy decree, and the last general was impulsive, and he asked the lord to punish him!" β
Immediately afterwards, Yan Xiang also stood up and said, "Lord, please calm down, you lost your temper just now." β
Hearing this, and seeing that the courtiers in the hall were all heavy-faced, Yuan Shu realized why they looked like this.
But instead of feeling remorseful, he said dissatisfiedly: "What if he listens to it, what's the matter, is there anything wrong with me saying that I am the co-master of the world?" Don't you think so? β
"Lord ......"
Yan Xiang had a headache, he really couldn't say this kind of thing.
Yuan Shu snorted coldly: "There is nothing to scruple about, the decline of the Han family is an indisputable fact, and the Mandate of Heaven is no longer in the Han family!" β
"Now who of all the princes does not have the idea of replacing the Han family and becoming the co-lord of the world? They think, they're going crazy thinking about it! But they didn't dare to say it! β
"But they don't dare, I dare!"
A trace of madness appeared in Yuan Shu's eyes, he laughed, swept his gaze from the people in the main hall, and said unhurriedly: "I found someone to do divination a few days ago, what do you guess the result of divination is?" β
Everyone lowered their heads, and no one dared to answer.
They only felt that their backs were already wet with cold sweat.
And Yuan Shu laughed loudly: "He said that I have a destiny of heaven, and said that I have the destiny to be the son of heaven!" Say that I am the real co-master of the world! β
"The future, destiny is mine!"
