His advisers were divided into two groups and quarreled with each other, while Yuan Shao just sat on the main seat and watched indifferently, with no expression on his face and no words at all.

Under Yuan Shao's laissez-faire, Xu You and Guo Tufengji quarreled even more vigorously. Later, even the trial matchmaker was dragged in by Xu You.

They reveal each other's secrets and want to kill each other, making other people's hearts tremble with fear.

After arguing for a long time, there was no result in the end. Both sides insisted on their own opinions and met their opponents, but they could not refute each other. In the end, they could only look at Yuan Shao who was sitting on the high platform. This look did not matter. Yuan Shao had an expressionless face and terrifying eyes.

Everyone was instantly frightened and broke into a cold sweat. They quickly knelt down and waited respectfully for Yuan Shao to speak, and remained silent.

"Have you had enough noise?" Yuan Shao said calmly, looking at the courtiers kneeling in two rows under the stage.

"We were in a moment of impatience and spoke nonsense. I hope your majesty will forgive you!" everyone said in unison.

Proclaiming himself emperor is a huge change for both Yuan Shao's power and Yuan Shao himself. Although Yuan Shao was very majestic in the past, he would only give people a terrifying sense of intimidation when facing a crisis. Now he is called emperor.

After becoming the emperor, perhaps due to the blessing of the emperor's position, or his own hint, Yuan Shao's sense of intimidation to others became stronger and stronger. This made other ministers under his command feel a sense of imperial power at all times.

I feel that I am always respectful and cautious, and do not dare to overstep the rules or be negligent in the slightest.

Of course, this situation also happened to Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shu. The specific manifestation was that Gongsun Zan became more and more "self-willed" and could not listen to other people's opinions. But on the contrary, there was always an invincible mentality lingering around him.

His self-confidence makes his subordinates extremely fanatical about him, like a god of war. Yuan Shu, on the other hand, acts increasingly domineeringly and casually. In layman's terms, he is known as a "tough ghost on the road", which can be said to be chivalrous.

He was even more disdainful of some red tape, and had some intention of exporting it into the constitution. He came up with various reform policies casually, whatever came to mind, and carried out reforms from all aspects, constantly improving Chu State's policies.

Yuan Shao's eyes were like lightning at this time, and his dark and deep pupils glanced at the courtiers below, and said calmly: "If it were normal times, it would be okay if you guys were making noise. But now that the war is approaching, I am not in the mood to watch you play around, and I don't want to

There’ll be another time!”

"No!" Everyone trembled and said in admiration. Then they retreated to both sides and knelt down in two rows. Everyone looked at their eyes, nose and heart, not daring to do anything beyond the rules. They were like sculptures.

Stay still.

"In the battle of Jieqiao, I don't want any accidents to happen. How sure are you, Ziyuan, of wiping out Gan Xingba's navy?" Seeing that these people were being honest, Yuan Shao's anger dissipated a little and he spoke indifferently.

asked.

Looking at Yuan Shao who looked like a god on the high platform, and then quickly and casually glanced at Guo Tu and Feng Ji, Xu You felt cruel, gritted his teeth with a solemn expression and said in a deep voice: "Fifty percent!"

"Fifty percent?" Yuan Shao murmured softly, and then his empty and wandering eyes returned to calmness again: "That's enough. This time, you will be the commander-in-chief and have full authority to command this battle. No one, including me, can

Those who interfere without authorization will be killed if they disobey orders!"

Yuan Shao's calm words revealed incomparable determination and boundless killing intent, causing the courtiers kneeling on both sides to nod their heads in silence.

"Thank you, Your Majesty! You will definitely do your best and never let down Your Majesty's trust!" Xu You was filled with excitement and moved after hearing this, and he bowed his hands in admiration with a solemn expression.

"Yes." Yuan Shao nodded lightly, then looked into the distance and said calmly: "The Battle of the Boundary Bridge will definitely defeat Gongsun Bogui. Anyone who wants to stop me or is likely to stop me will disappear. I will never allow it.

Any accidents happen, do you understand?"

"Yes!" everyone said in unison.

Then Yuan Shao gently waved his hand and drove away these courtiers. He sat alone on the high platform, looking deeply into the distance, and fell into deep thought.

Before finally leaving, Xun Chen couldn't help but look back at Yuan Shao. Feeling the firmness, domineering, bravery, wisdom and other colors in his eyes, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Now Yuan Benchu ​​is worthy of being called a model in the world.

, but unfortunately, this is just a flash in the pan. Only in this critical situation, he will wake up, but now it is a bit late.

After Xun Chen walked out of the palace, he saw that Xu You had not left. He was standing in front of the palace gate, looking at him quietly.

"Ziyuan, what's wrong?"

"Youruo, I need your help this time!" Xu You said with solemn eyes and a solemn tone.

"I know, I will take action when the situation falls." Looking at Xu You's firm eyes, Xun Chen sighed softly and said bitterly.

Xu You nodded slightly when he heard the words: "If you have any reservations about eating the emperor's salary and being loyal to the emperor, I can't force you to do so. But at this time, I still hope that you can help me. After all, if something happens this time, your majesty will really

There is no hope, we must be absolutely sure!”

"Do your best!" A complex look flashed in his eyes, and after a moment, Xun Chen whispered.

Xu You smiled and said: "This sentence is enough!", then turned around and prepared to leave.

But Xun Chen suddenly stopped him at this time and said in an inexplicable tone: "Zi Yuan, Guo Hui Yi Yao. Sometimes being too smart is not necessarily a good thing, especially in front of His Majesty."

A look of fear and shock flashed in Xu You's eyes, but he immediately returned to his previous proud and arrogant face. As he left, he laughed and said: "Your Majesty and I grew up together and are brothers and sisters. You think too much."

Already."

Looking at Xu You's pretending to be cool, Xun Chen sighed lightly, turned to look at the gate of the palace, and murmured: "Ziyuan! Although you have seen through His Majesty's temperament, you have underestimated His Majesty.

Sometimes playing tricks will not only have no good effect, but will arouse others' suspicion and fear even more. If this continues, I'm afraid you will lose your power and lose your life not far away." Then he turned around and walked along the road that was different from Xu You's.

One way to leave: "Yuan Benchu, alas!"

Before the battle between Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan started, a plot against Gan Ning had already begun.

Gan Ning, who was still wandering near the Bohai Sea at this time, was completely unaware of this. He didn't know that a big secret net was slowly coming towards him. However, given his character, even if he knew, he probably wouldn't be able to change anything.
