Yuan Shao's words made all the strategists fall into deep thought.

The rumor that Yuan Shao wanted to be the emperor has spread, and it is undoubtedly difficult to break it, because the marriage between the Yuan family and the Zhen family is indeed a thing, but the marriage and prophecy are deliberately linked together by someone with a heart.

If it had been in the past, no one would have cared about that.

No one would think that Yuan Shao would have such an idea.

After all, the reputation accumulated over the years is there.

But now is a sensitive period, Yuan Shu is the emperor, and the Son of Heaven is in Yecheng, at this time, you Yuan Shao let his son marry a woman who was prophesied to become the queen, it is difficult not to make people feel different.

At this time, the best way to dispel rumors is undoubtedly to cancel the marriage contract, so naturally no one will say anything more, but ......

The strategists secretly glanced at Yuan Xi, who had a flat expression and couldn't see his joy or anger.

No one opened their mouths to say this.

However, there is only one exception.

Tian Feng said directly: "Lord, it's very simple to break the rumors, just cancel the marriage contract, and the rumors will be self-defeating." ”

As soon as he said this, Yuan Xi's face sank significantly.

The other strategists were secretly relieved.

Brother Feng, it still depends on you at a critical time.

But Yuan Shao was displeased when he heard this: "Don't I know that this can dispel rumors?" What I want is a way to marry Zhen and dispel rumors! ”

Zhen's family is a local tycoon in Jizhou, and his family is very rich.

If he can marry him, then for his forces, it is equivalent to adding another big arm, and Yuan Shao does not want to give up the marriage.

Yuan Shang also said with a look of approval at this time: "The child also feels that the marriage cannot be canceled, and in the eyes of outsiders, it will feel that it is a sign of weakness." ”

When these words were spoken, everyone cast surprised eyes.

Including Yuan Xi's eyes, a trace of astonishment flashed.

He heard from the people in the house that the third brother Yuan Shang was very unhappy that he could marry the Zhen family, so rumors have spread in the past few days, and the first thing he suspected was Yuan Shang.

But now Yuan Shang actually took the initiative to say that he couldn't cancel the marriage?

"What kind of medicine is he selling in his gourd? Did I misunderstand him, and he didn't spread the rumors? ”

Yuan Xi's eyes flickered slightly, and he said secretly in his heart.

If he was Yuan Shang, he would definitely wish that the marriage between him and the Zhen family could be canceled, how could he still object.

"Xianfu, what do you think?"

Yuan Shao was also slightly surprised when he heard this, so he asked.

When Yuan Shang heard this, his face showed hesitation, and he said: "Father, the child did think of a plan, but ......"

He glanced at his second brother Yuan Xi and said with some guilt: "But the second brother may be unhappy, and the child doesn't dare to speak up." ”

Yuan Xi was taken aback, and then hurriedly pulled out a smile and said, "How can it be, if there is a way to break the rumors and not hurt my father's reputation, it is too late to be happy for my brother." ”

"The third brother doesn't hurt to say it, you don't have to care about being a brother."

At this time, the suspicion that Yuan Xi had just born had completely disappeared.

Although he didn't know what his third brother could do, he put a hat on him when he came up, and he couldn't refuse even if he wanted to!

Certainly not Ann has any good intentions!

"Since the second brother said so, the younger brother said it bluntly."

Yuan Shang breathed a sigh of relief, and then said to Yuan Shao: "Father, since the daughter of the Zhen family has been prophesied to have a phoenix life, then you might as well sacrifice her directly to the Son of Heaven." ”

"In this way, you can not only win over the Zhen family, but also dispel the rumors, killing two birds with one stone, but you have to wronged the second brother."

Show one’s true colors in the end.

"Yuan Shang! You guy——! ”

Yuan Xi gritted his teeth, and couldn't wait to rush up and slap Yuan Shang's hateful face now!

But reason told him he couldn't.

Yuan Xi suppressed the anger in his heart, and said to Yuan Shao with a smile: "Father, the child thinks that the third brother's strategy is feasible and is the most suitable way. ”

Yuan Shao didn't speak, his deep gaze first fell on Yuan Xi's face, and then at Yuan Shang, and after a long time, he looked at the many strategists in the hall.

"What do you think?"

The strategists still didn't say anything, and only Tian Feng took the lead and said: "The third prince's strategy is very suitable, and it is the best way to dedicate the Zhen family's daughter to the Son of Heaven." ”

"I'll second."

With Tian Feng in front, the strategists followed.

Yuan Shao finally looked at Yuan Xi again and asked, "Xianyi, do you really have no opinion?" This is the wedding that was originally prepared for you. ”

"Child......

Yuan Xi subconsciously wanted to answer that he had no opinion, but for some reason, his intuition told him that this answer was quite important at the moment.

However, after only a moment's hesitation, he continued to reply: "The child has no opinion, everything is up to the father." ”

Yuan Shao retracted his gaze, a trace of disappointment flashed in the depths of his eyes, and then said lightly: "Gong and stay, and the rest of the people should retreat." ”

"Yes, Lord (Father)."

Yuan Xi, Yuan Shang, and all the strategists left one after another.

Only the frustration remained.

After everyone left, Yuan Shao frowned and asked Frustrated, "Gonghe, what do you think of this matter?" ”

He was taken aback, and then asked carefully, "What is the matter of what the lord said?" ”

He didn't dare to answer this kind of question casually.

Yuan Shao sighed and said, "Do you think it's appropriate to dedicate Zhen's daughter to the Son of Heaven?" That's a pariah, after all. ”

If it's a true Son of Heaven, it's just that, the key is that it's a fake Son of Heaven.

Let a mere untouchable marry the daughter of the Zhen family in Zhongshan, if this matter is revealed in the future, it will definitely cause the monstrous anger of the Zhen family.

Other wealthy families will also have opinions on the Yuan family.

He relaxed slightly, pondered for a moment, and then replied, "There is no better way to do it than this, besides...... He has already been found to pretend to be the Son of Heaven, so what's the matter with this? ”

Fu Zhu understood Yuan Shao's concerns.

But the consequences of finding someone to pretend to be the Son of Heaven are already too big, what can multiple Zhen families do?

Now they can only grit their teeth and believe that the Son of Heaven is real, and there is no other way.

"Got it."

Yuan Shao only felt a faint pain in his eyebrows.

Welcoming this false son of heaven over, there are indeed a lot of benefits, but now I always feel that it is difficult to ride a tiger and fall deeper and deeper.

Now the whole world can say that this Son of Heaven is fake, but he can't.

After chatting about this matter, Fu Zhu hesitated for a moment and asked, "Isn't the lord angry?" Behind the rumors, there is obviously the shadow of the third son. ”

Although no one has said anything about this, everyone knows it.

Because any conspiracy means only need to look at who the ultimate beneficiary is, and Yuan Shang's methods are not secretive and clever, but more of a conspiracy.

"What's there to be angry about?"

Yuan Shao asked rhetorically, snorting coldly, "He can prevent the marriage, this is his ability, in such a contentious world, it is a sin not to fight." ”

"It's Xianyi that really disappointed me."

He asked Yuan Xi again and again, but Yuan Xi still endured.

This is a sign of weakness in his opinion.

His second son is too steady.

Frustrated, he stopped talking, but in the end he didn't say anything, just sighed in his heart, turned around and retreated.
