Of course, Yuan Shu was not so arrogant, so arrogant that he completely believed that he was such a wise ruler. But being able to spread such folk songs at least means that the people are no longer interested in the Han Dynasty. Are they the people of the great men? They don’t care. As long as they can live a good life! At this time, they will be emperor, and they will not follow the will of heaven, at least they will not go against the public opinion?

While thinking about it, Yuan Shu returned to the inner courtyard and suddenly saw Feng Fangnu sitting quietly there, as if he was writing something. He was serious and didn't even notice Yuan Shu came back. With curiosity, Yuan Shu secretly walked over and walked around behind Feng Fangnu.

“What are you writing?”

Yuan Shu spoke softly and finally woke Feng Fangnu up.

"ah!"

Feng Fangnu stood up and faced Yuan Shu. Subconsciously grabbed the paper on the table and hid it behind her. Her face was flushed, and she felt shy of a child being caught doing bad things.

"Sir, when did you come back?" Feng Fangnu asked cautiously. She didn't know how much Yuan Shu had seen.

Yuan Shu smiled slightly and said deliberately,

"I've been standing here for a long time."

For a moment, Feng Fangnu's face turned even red, and she kneaded her hands for a while, then she remembered to say,

"Are you tired? Let's sit down first. I'll make tea for you!"

As he said that, he wanted to escape and ran away.

Unfortunately, Yuan Shu did not do what she wanted. He went up and hugged Feng Fangnu in his arms, and said softly in his ear,

"What are you writing? Can you show me too?"

Feeling Yuan Shu's warm breath at the tip of his ears, Feng Fangnu's body softened and immediately surrendered. Feng Fangnu took out the paper on his hand and showed the contents on it to Yuan Shu in detail.

Yuan Shu looked at him carefully, and suddenly a flash of light in his eyes, his pupils slightly shrank, and his heartbeat increased a little.

"What is this writing by Madam? Why didn't I understand?" Yuan Shu asked knowingly.

"I have heard some nonsense recently and are just making trouble. I can't take it seriously." Feng Fangnu replied quickly.

"I want to hear it, you can help me interpret it." Yuan Shu insisted.

"Then... I'll be ugly."

While speaking, Yuan Shu reached out and grabbed the paper for Feng Fangnu, so that she could free up her hand and use it at will. Feng Fangnu pointed at the content on the paper, as if Yuan Shu really didn't understand, and explained to Yuan Shu one by one.

"The great man's surname is Yuan, his name is Shu, and his courtesy name is Gaolu. The surname Yuan came from Chen, and Chen was the descendant of Shun. I read ancient books, "Yu Shun Fire, Xia Yu Earth". Shun belongs to fire, and among the five elements, fire produces earth, and earth inherits fire. Isn't it Yuan? In addition, when the tutu is high, the tutu is the road, isn't it the road?"

After saying that, Feng Fangnu's face turned rosy and her breathing was a little rapid, which was a very natural sense of excitement.

"Sir, I just talk casually and can't be a good place." Feng Fangnu waved his hand embarrassedly.

"Hahaha!"

Yuan Shu laughed loudly, and put his hands in his hands tightly, holding the woman he loved most in his arms.

"What is a great elegance hall? This is a great elegance hall! You said it well! You are better than those old masters said! You should give it a great elegance!" Yuan Shu laughed loudly.

"I have already given me enough rewards. Why don't you give it to other sisters?" Feng Fangnu said quickly.

Yuan Shu deliberately shook his head and said,

"What deserves you is yours. When they have it, it is also what they deserve. If they don't distinguish right from wrong, and if they don't know how to convince the public, I just want to reward you, give it to them, and let them know what kind of people should be rewarded!"

"Sir, please try to give me less rewards, I'm afraid..." Feng Fangnu whispered.

"They dare!" Yuan Shu was furious, "I don't know anything about family matters!"

Yuan Shu knew very well that because of his favor for Feng Fangnu, many women in the family were jealous of Feng Fangnu, especially some of whom have prominent families, insults and bullying are indispensable in daily life. Yuan Shu believed that the reason why these women are so brave was that they were completely dependent on the strong family power behind them. In other words, Yuan Shu was not strong enough! One day, if Yuan Shu was called emperor, he would see who would dare to disobey him!

······

Just when Yuan Shu's intention to become emperor became stronger, Sun Ce used the imperial seal as his property and requested the military service of Liyang.

To be honest, Yuan Shu was hesitant about Sun Ce’s request, why did he take down the imperial seal? Isn’t it because he was afraid that Sun Ce would never return? But could it be impossible for Sun Ce to abandon the imperial seal?

But unexpectedly, nearly 80% of the civil and military officials in the court that day agreed to let Sun Ce send troops. Yuan Shu had never seen such a consensus among his officials. Have they been convinced? No! Impossible! Then, there is only one possibility left: it was the imperial seal that impressed these people!

The rumors among the people only represent the ideas of ordinary people, and can only help Yuan Shu break moral obstacles. If you really want to accomplish something, what you need is the support of the ministers. Now, seeing so many ministers being "ecstatic" for the imperial seal, how could Yuan Shu not understand their thoughts? Yuan Shu wanted to be the founding emperor, and the ministers below were naturally quite founding meritorious! Once they became emperor, the level of these ministers would have to be at least two or three levels. Didn’t these people live their lives just for power or fame?

Therefore, what impressed Yuan Shu was not so much the attitude of the ministers. This seemingly default attitude of the ministers in turn strengthened Yuan Shu's determination to get the imperial seal!

In addition, not long ago, General Ji Ling came to Yuan Shu to analyze the situation in Liyang with Yuan Shu. Yuan Shu's army had personally experienced the terrible danger of the Yangtze River. This absolute geographical advantage could not be simply solved by changing the commander alone. Ji Ling firmly believed that even if Sun Ce could win in the end, it would probably have a huge damage and took a long time. By then, Xuzhou might have been taken down by them. Sun Ce, the little one, could only Liyang, make up some big waves? He would not have to come back obediently and relate to it again.

Letting Sun Ce go out, kill his aura, and helping to restrain Liu Yao, is simply a killing one stone.

So, Yuan Shu waved his hand and agreed to Sun Ce's request. He assigned Sun Jian's old subordinates, Cheng Pu, Han Dang, Huang Gai, etc. to Sun Ce, but in fact, he only gave Sun Ce five thousand troops and sent him to Liyang. At the same time, he sent someone to Liyang to inform the army there to rest for a while and return to Shouchun. As Sun Quan inferred at the time, Yuan Shu could not have given Sun Ce too much help. At the beginning, all the soldiers he sent out would be taken back!

······

Sun Ce was very fast and set off from Shouchun with five thousand soldiers that day. In the eyes of some people, it was like running away, as if he was afraid that Yuan Shu would regret it. At this time, Shangguan Di, who received the news from the court, finally realized it later.

"I've been fooled!"

She was completely exploited by Sun Quan! (To be continued)
