Chapter 23 Each has a ghost

After the imperial capital was resolved, the joy of the scholars and the people shook the sky, and Emperor Ling of Han even held a banquet in Changle Palace to celebrate with all the officials.

The banquet ended late at night, and all officials and ministers returned to their homes one after another, while Liu Yan, a great hero who came from other places, could only return to his temporary residence.

As soon as he returned to the room, Liu Yan angrily smashed the decorations in the house, and even drew his sword and stabbed it into the wall.

"who?"

Liu Yan, who was furious, noticed that someone was outside the door, calmed down and shouted in a deep voice.

"My nephew Liu Bei pays homage to his uncle." Liu Bei's calm voice came from outside the door.

Liu Yan suppressed his anger and invited Liu Bei into the house.

The house was in a mess, and Liu Bei turned a blind eye. He knelt in front of Liu Yan, lowered his head and said lightly: "Do you have any troubles?"

Liu Yan's expression was calm at this moment, and he replied, "Your Majesty rewarded me with great value, so how could I have any worries?"

This is a typical misunderstanding, but the slander Liu Yan said pointed out the key point.

Liu Bei was a smart man, and he also guessed that Liu Yan was angry because he could not get the emperor's value. Although he was rewarded a lot and promoted the title, he was promoted to the title without money and possession, and his official title was also idle and empty, so he naturally felt unwilling to accept it.

"My uncle is about to return to Youzhou soon, but the Yellow Turbans will cause rebellion. There are many officials from all counties and counties in Youzhou who are fleeing. Why don't my uncle report to Your Majesty's current situation? The governor is noble and wants to quell the treacherous thieves. He can let the governor general take charge of the military and political power of a state. In this way, in a state, the commander's military and political power will be twice the result of quelling the rebellion. The Qing Dynasty selects talents to take responsibility. In just a short time, peace can be restored."

After listening to Liu Bei's suggestion, Liu Yan suddenly opened his eyes wide, with a serious expression, and thought in his heart: If I commanded the military and political power of a state, I could not only raise troops and respect themselves, but also win over the gentry to serve as county officials for my use, and have a basis for advancement and retreat, which is comparable to breaking the soil and becoming king.

But in this case, if the states do not listen to the imperial court, the Han Dynasty will be doomed!

Liu Yan's thoughts were full of changes, weighing the pros and cons, and finally a thought came up: I, Liu Yan, is a relative of the Han Dynasty. If there are unjust people who will secede the king in the future, I, Liu Yan, will naturally raise the banner of the Han Dynasty to launch an army to attack. At that time, you can expand your territory. If the emperor is lonely, will I, Liu Yan, be able to...

Liu Bei slowly withdrew from Liu Yan's room. After closing the door, Liu Bei took advantage of the night to look up at the waning moon in the sky, and his deep and smart eyes bloomed with unknown colors.

At the same time, in Sikong Yuan Feng's mansion, Yuan Feng sat opposite Yuan Shao.

The two are biological father and son, but Yuan Feng has adopted Yuan Shao as his brother.

Yuan Shao had been drinking all night and had already sobered up most of the time. He knew that his father called him to the mansion late at night and sent him to the back, so he must have something important to discuss.

Yuan Feng kept looking at Yuan Shao, who was extremely handsome. Yuan Shao only lowered his head to drink tea, woke up his mind and did not ask questions.

After a long time, Yuan Feng sighed and said, "Original, if there is a difficult road in the future, you must not let the death go unsuccessful."

Yuan Shao was shocked and hurriedly said, "Highway is my relative, my closest relative, how could I sit and see him in trouble? What does my father mean?"

In the Yuan family in Runan, the only ones that can make people look up to the Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shu are the concubine's son, and Yuan Shu is the legitimate son. If the two fight in the future, the Yuan family will be greatly damaged. As the father of the two, Yuan Feng also knew in his heart that Yuan Shu was convinced by Yuan Shao's face. Yuan Shao had great ambitions and probably would not take Yuan Shu's legitimate son seriously.

Yuan Feng put aside this topic for a while, and he said slowly: "By the beginning, we elders have seen what you did in Luoyang in the past few years. A few years ago, you became famous scholars and were quite like a prince of the Warring States Period. But you forgot that my Yuan family was always at the forefront. On that day, a villain came to the emperor and said that you had a bad intention to raise a dead soldier, which almost made my Yuan family in danger."

"Father, I, I..." Yuan Shao was unaware of his dislike. He liked to make friends with famous scholars in the world, but he had no intention of raising dead soldiers. In those years, Yuan Shao received praise from many literati and scholars, praising him for his respect for his wise and noble character and his extraordinary demeanor.

Yuan Feng waved his hand to signal Yuan Shao not to panic, and then said, "I said this just to warn you to judge the situation. Your actions of becoming famous scholars are very pleased for your father and your uncle. Now that Your Majesty sells official positions and titles, my Yuan family has the reputation of being the three generations of four generations, but now the position of the three ministers is exchanged for money and silk, and it is within your fingertips. If you continue for a long time, my Yuan family will inevitably decline. Therefore, I call you today to entrust you with the important task of revitalizing the Yuan family."

Yuan Shao, who was ecstatic but looked shocked, said, "How can a child take on this great task?"

Anyone knows that this is a humble word, and Yuan Feng is unwilling to spend too much time on the sidelines and continues: "Your personal friend Cao Aman is an extraordinary person. If you can become your arm in the future, it is good. If you can't use it for you, get rid of it as soon as possible."

Seeing Yuan Shao's face showing confusion, Yuan Feng explained: "Although Cao Aman was a descendant of a eunuch, he had great ambitions. In his early years, he beat Jian Shuo's uncle and won praise from the senate. In recent years, he was demoted several times because he overturned the case for the party and corruption disaster that year. This shows that this person not only wanted to draw a clear line with the eunuch, but also wanted to win the support of the genius. Liang Guoqiaoxuan, Nanyang He Yan, and Runan Xu Shao all looked at Cao Aman differently, saying that he had the talent to stabilize the country."

Yuan Shao nodded in a vague way. What he understood was that Cao Cao was better than him. Although he did not admit it in his heart, his father thought so. What he didn't understand was that since Cao Cao had the ability to stabilize the country, why did he get rid of him? It would be helpful to the Han Dynasty and the country.

Yuan Feng's words solved his doubts. Yuan Feng said: "Although the Yellow Turban is pacified, the eunuchs are still there. The ten regular attendants control the great power in the court. As a relative of the foreigners, the general will naturally be unwilling to accept it. For a long time, there will be open and secret struggles between the two. At first, the world is chaotic, the country is uneven, and the times are coming. The relatives and eunuchs only care about fighting for power and profit in the court. But as a father, you hope that you will turn your vision to the court, in this ten thousand miles of country."

Yuan Shao was shocked, and he had already deeply felt the profound meaning of his father's words.

Yuan Feng also looked at Yuan Shao with a sharp look. Seeing his expression, he smiled with relief and said, "The late emperor and Your Majesty valued eunuchs and relatives, and criticized the gentry as a rebellious party. All the gentry and family members in the world were resentful. Our Yuan family has four generations and three masters, and their disciples are all over the world. When the time comes, they can climb up and shout. People with ambition in the world will compete to compete for each other!"

Looking blankly at the fist that his father held in front of him, the surging momentum did not look like that of a gentleman? Yuan Shao found that he did not understand his father at all. At this moment, he bowed and said solemnly and humbly: "Please teach me, my father."

Yuan Feng helped Yuan Shao up and said seriously: "When the Ten Generals and Generals are in secret, you can help the fire. When both sides are in danger of life and death, you can set up your own party and wait for both sides to get ahead when both sides suffer losses."

Yuan Shao suddenly appeared sad and asked, "Although these two sides have the same power as water and fire, they may not necessarily fight life and death, so it is difficult to do this."

Yuan Feng shook his head solemnly, and pointed his finger at the roof.

Yuan Shao immediately understood and was shocked.

Your Majesty is celebrating the sky? After thinking about it again, I suddenly realized it!

The emperor has two sons, the eldest son Liu Bian was born to Queen He, and the second son Liu Xie was born to Prince Wang Meiren. If Your Majesty is in vain, the dispute over the throne will be related to the lives of both parties.

However, Yuan Shao still had concerns and said, "But Your Majesty is not yet thirty years old..."

At this time, Emperor Ling of Han was not even thirty years old. He was only thirty years old next year. Even if he was short of his life, Yuan Shao would only dare to imagine that the emperor would die before he could die in his forties.

But Yuan Feng whispered: "Although the emperor is in his prime, the dragon body is getting worse and worse. If he doesn't have ten years, he may die in the world."

Yuan Shao was stunned and could not say anything anymore.

Yuan Feng finally instructed: "At the beginning, the rise and fall of the Yuan family has been entrusted to you. Remember, if God gives you a good opportunity, don't hesitate. If you call for a high place, the gentry in the world will be headed by my Yuan family. As long as you control the military power with one hand and the gentry with the other, the whole world will be in the Yuan family's pocket. At that time, if the destiny is in my Yuan family, you will take it yourself. If you are not here, you can just follow the example of Qi Huan and Jinwen."

Yuan Shao himself didn't know what he was in and walked out of Sikong Mansion.

The secret conversation with his father made Yuan Shao sow the seeds of ambition in his heart. He couldn't help but think in his heart: I, Yuan Shao, originally just wanted to be a general who was loyal to the Han Dynasty. Can my Yuan family have the opportunity to win the world?

No one can tell what will happen in the future, but when Yuan Shao heard his father's words today, he felt like he was enlightened. His vision and ambitions have changed essentially.

Although the danger to the imperial capital has been resolved, rebellions still need to be quelled in various places. The heroes who have emerged in the Battle of Luoyang are now leading their troops away.

Dong Zhuo returned to Liangzhou with an unrestrained resentment, and even threw the sword that the general sent him to the wilderness.

Tao Qian and Gongsun Zan also left angrily.

Some are happy and some are sad.

Sun Jian took Jiangdong's children to Changsha with all their ambitions. He originally wanted to seek the prefect of Wu County, but he did not expect to become the prefect of Changsha, Jingzhou.

Liu Yan, who couldn't help but chuckled on the way back, was obviously the happiest. He was no longer the governor of Youzhou, but the governor of Youzhou, and the general leader of military and political power. Liu Guan and Zhang, who returned with him, only Liu Bei reaped a sesame official from the Plain Order.

After the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the emperor issued an edict to change the governors of each state into governors, and the governors of the state were in charge of military and political affairs in a state.
