Chapter Forty-Nine: Sharpening the Knife Huo Huo to Lu Bu
When the two brothers Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi saw their father's weak appearance, they were anxious and puzzled.
"Father, you have always been in good health, why did you suddenly fall ill?"
Yuan Shang's face was full of eagerness, and his tone was full of worry.
He just heard that Yuan Shao suddenly fell into a coma, and then hurried back with Yuan Xi, but he didn't know what the specific reason was.
Yuan Shao sighed: "I suddenly heard that Yuan Shu was called the emperor, and I was angry for a while, but now it's okay, I don't have to worry." ”
"What?"
Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang were shocked when they heard this.
Yuan Shu...... Emperor?!
The two were not stupid, and when they heard this amazing news, they immediately realized the huge impact it would have.
Yuan Shang's face was full of anger: "My Yuan family has received the grace of the Han Dynasty, isn't his rebellious behavior ruining my Yuan family's century-old reputation!" ”
"What's more, the Son of Heaven is still in Yecheng now! He is the emperor, how will you behave in front of the Son of Heaven in the future? ”
He kind of understood why his father was so angry that he fainted.
What Yuan Shu did was simply hateful!
Yuan Xi on the side was much calmer and asked, "Father, what are you going to do, do you have a way to deal with it?" ”
Yuan Shao nodded slightly and said: "My father plans to ask for an edict against the thief and draw a clear line with Yuan Shu, so that the people of the world can know that Yuan Shu's title to the emperor has nothing to do with being a father." ”
He told his two sons about his plans for the future.
Yuan Shang breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this: "This is very good." ”
When Yuan Xi heard this, he frowned and pondered, and after a while, he raised his head and said to Yuan Shao: "Father, the child thinks that simply asking for an edict to beg for thieves is not enough to prove your loyalty to the Han family, why don't you let other princes from all walks of life jointly send troops to fight for thieves?" ”
"As long as your father, you take the lead, and then create the momentum of the Eighteenth Route Princes to crusade against Dong Zhuo back then, in this way, who would dare to suspect that you are selfish?"
Yuan Xi's proposal attracted everyone's attention.
At the beginning, Yuan Shao led the princes of the Eighteen Roads to discuss Dong, which was the most high-spirited highlight moment in his life, and since then he has become a "model in the world".
If the situation of the joint discussion against Dong is reproduced now, it will inevitably make everyone in the world recall Yuan Shao's glorious deeds, which will not only greatly reduce the negative impact of Yuan Shu's claim to be emperor, but also make his reputation to a higher level!
"The second son's words are wonderful!"
Frustrated's eyes lit up, and he greatly appreciated Yuan Xi's proposal, and then said to Yuan Shao excitedly: "Lord! Issuing an edict ordering all the princes to beg for thieves is indeed the best policy! ”
"Let Yanzhou Cao Cao, Xuzhou Lu Bu, Jiangdong Sun Ce, Jingzhou Liu Biao, plus you, a total of five armies, encircle Yuan Shu!"
"In this way, it can not only let them share the risk, but also show your loyalty and purity of righteousness and crusade against your relatives!"
The general edict of the Son of Heaven, the princes can find an excuse not to listen.
But when an edict was issued to crusade against a traitor who claimed to be the emperor, no prince dared not listen, because they were all Hanchen!
Even this kind of traitor is not crusaded, do you also want to call the emperor a rebellion?
Xu You also touched his beard and said, "Not only that, but you can also take the opportunity to consume the strength of all the princes, especially Lu Bu and Cao Cao." ”
"Lord, haven't you always wanted to take Xuzhou? This crusade against Yuan Shu asked Lu Bu to send troops to be the vanguard, consume his soldiers and horses, and prepare for the capture of Xuzhou in the future! ”
"And if you can defeat Yuan Shu, you can also take the opportunity to carve up Yangzhou!"
"This is a strategy to kill four birds with one stone!"
All the strategists were full of praise for Yuan Xi's proposal.
At first, they only thought about how to prove their innocence and draw a clear line with Yuan Shu, but they never thought of taking this opportunity to seek greater benefits!
The so-called authorities are fascinated, and bystanders are clear, and this is exactly the case.
There is no doubt that this is the optimal solution to the current dilemma, and it can even turn the passive into the active, turning bad things into good things!
"Good!"
Yuan Shao was so happy that even his face became a little ruddy.
He didn't expect that there would be such a way to break the game!
Thinking of this, he looked at Yuan Xi with approval and praised: "I haven't seen you for a few months, Xianyi is really impressive for my father!" ”
Yuan Xi said modestly: "Father praised it falsely, the child just said it casually, it is nothing." ”
"Don't be modest, that's your credit!"
Yuan Shao laughed, and then said: "My father is now in poor health and needs to cultivate, from today on, the affairs in the city will be handed over to you and Xianfu." ”
"Just let my father see how much you've grown."
As soon as these words came out, the hearts of the other courtiers in the room sank.
Let the two sons take charge of the affairs of the city?
When the two brothers Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang heard this, they immediately perked up, and immediately responded in unison: "I am willing to share my father's worries!" ”
Yuan Shao patted Yuan Xi on the shoulder and said, "Xianyi, you are a brother, and you act more steadily, remember to share more for Xianfu." ”
Yuan Xi said: "Father, please rest assured, children remember." ”
"Gonghe and Zhengnan, you also have to pay more attention, the two sons are still immature, and you must be carefully assisted."
Frustrated, judged, and other courtiers all said: "The ministers will do their best to assist the two princes!" ”
Yuan Shao nodded, then waved his hand and said, "Please go and handle the edict as soon as possible...... Okay, you all stand down, I'm a little tired. ”
After holding on to these things, he was already very tired.
The crowd saluted and left the room.
When he came to the courtyard, Yuan Xi saluted Fu Zhu and the others: "In the next period of time, I will have to worry about you, if my son has any misconduct, please ask for your help." ”
His attitude is very modest, and his posture is very low.
The strategists hurriedly returned the salute, saying that they did not dare.
Guo Tu stepped forward with a smile on his face and said: "If the second son doesn't understand anything, just come to ask the minister, and the minister will do his best." ”
Everyone can see that after what happened just now, Yuan Shao recognized Yuan Xi's ability very much; said that the two sons would be in charge of the affairs of the city, but in fact, Yuan Xi was the main one, otherwise he would not have told Yuan Xi to take care of Yuan Shang.
Xu You also laughed and said: "The second prince is serious, this is what we courtiers should do." ”
Seeing Yuan Xi and the ministers talking and laughing, Yuan Shang's face on the side was a little gloomy, and he didn't say anything, and strode out of the courtyard directly.
This made Guo Tu and Xu You a little embarrassed.
Yuan Xi's face remained unchanged, and he smiled kindly: "It's okay, third brother, he's just a little tired from running all the way." If you have time, why don't you take me to familiarize yourself with the affairs of the city? ”
"Good, good ......"
The two regained their smiles and left with Yuan Xi.
And the judge and Feng Ji glanced at each other, and followed in the direction where Yuan Shang left, and now only Fu Zhu and Tian Feng were left in the courtyard.
"My lord, this is a problem for us."
Looking at the backs of everyone leaving, Fu Zhi felt a little headache.
Yuan Shao handed over the affairs of the city to Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang, and asked them to assist these courtiers, clearly trying to test their attitude towards the two princes.
Tian Feng said lightly: "Just do your own thing, don't think about other things, it has nothing to do with us." ”
Frustrated Professor shook his head, his face sad.
If only it were that simple.
