Chapter 3 Each has its own abacus

"Hmm... my bow is useless... hiss..." an old man with some gray hair said in deep thoughts, pinching his beard.

Cui Houbi said respectfully: "Yes, Father, I saw this book was placed on the table of that Shuzi, and I must have read it often, but that Shuzi took me to read other books on classics, history, and elegances.

If I don't talk about this book, there must be something fishy. I'm afraid of arousing his suspicion, so I came back first - but I can't remember where this sentence comes from?"

The old man, Cui Hou's father, Cui Yi raised his head, squinted his eyes, and was silent for a long time before saying: "It seems that it is right to ask you to test it. This boy really has another mystery. I don't blame you if you don't recognize this book, because this book is not here."

According to history, I doubt that this sentence came from..."

Cui Yi opened his eyes suddenly, but kept his voice very low, as if he was afraid of being heard by others: "...Hu, Fei, Zi..."

"Oh, ah!" Cui Hou was shocked, "...Hu, Hu Feizi? Could it be that my father is talking about that Hu Feizi? In this way, this Zhuzi got-"

"Silence!" Cui Yi glared.

Cui Hou knew he had lost his composure and quickly lowered his voice: "So, what father suspected may be true?"

Cui Yi nodded: "According to legend, Hu Feizi was skillful in handling objects and left behind five brave men, seven craftsmen and eighteen techniques, but many of them have been lost... This man's family was mediocre, and he suddenly came up with such an exquisite treasure. The so-called family legacy is mostly an excuse... Liuli

It is fragile and difficult to carve, but the pattern of this glass bead is completely integrated, without any marks of swords or axes..."

"I suspect that there is a high probability that this son has obtained Hu Fei's secret method... In a few days, you might as well invite this son to the village, and test it again as a father - if it is true, it is a must... Hum, you can arrange it for me.

A few skilled men should take advantage of this man's absence to conduct a thorough investigation and be careful not to let him discover him."

"Father, what do you want to check?" Cui Hou still didn't quite understand.

Cui Yi was a little helpless, why was he so stupid, but he was his son after all, so he had the patience to remind him: "...you must have tools to make things! Search in hidden places to see if there is anything unusual - understand?

?”

"only!"

In a large and splendid mansion in the city, another old man in rich clothes was also teaching his children, but this one was not so good-tempered.

"Stupid! Stupid!"

The old man was furious and beat his cane on the ground angrily. All the servants inside and outside the hall immediately knelt down and prostrated on the ground, not daring to raise their heads or even move.

This "stupid man" also quickly knelt down on the ground, crawled forward a few steps, and kowtowed: "Uncle, please calm down! Uncle, please calm down!"

Everyone inside and outside the hall kowtowed in unison: "Master Taifu, please calm down! Master Taifu, please calm down!"

For a moment, everything was quiet inside and outside the hall, inside and outside the courtyard. Everyone was trembling and did not dare to make any sound.

I could only hear the violent breathing of the current Imperial Tutor, Lord Yuan Wei.

"...Cao Ah Man! What Cao Ah Man said! Is your surname Yuan or Cao? Cao Ah Man told you to eat and you also ate it?!"

This was such a heartbreaking statement that Yuan Shao was so frightened that he kowtowed on the ground repeatedly: "I don't dare! I'm guilty!"

Yuan Wei's breathing calmed down slightly, and he asked the servants inside and outside the hall to step back and said in a deep voice: "'It's enough to pay one jailer' - it's such a big statement! ... What will happen to the butcher after listening to this method?"

"General He...then Butcher He - seems to be a little moved..."

"Okay, okay, okay!" Yuan Wei sneered a few times and glared at Yuan Shao who was kneeling on the ground in front of him, "Then did you have any suggestions at that time?"

Yuan Shao trembled. Even though he didn't raise his head, he seemed to be able to feel Yuan Wei's piercing gaze, and replied in a low voice: "...Baby, baby...I haven't made any progress yet..."

"Stupid! Idiot! What's the use of you!" Yuan Wei got angry again and hit Yuan Shao on the back with his crutch.

Yuan Shao didn't even dare to hide, so he could only grit his teeth and resist, and kept trying to persuade him: "I'm stupid, I'm guilty! Uncle, please calm down..."

After all, Yuan Wei was old and could not beat him for a few times before he got tired. He yelled, "It's a bad thing, you're a bad guy!" Although he didn't have the energy to hit him, he still felt angry and kicked Yuan Shao to the side. "Don't you usually boast about your intelligence?"

, why can’t you even see such a small plan?”

Yuan Shao quickly got up and knelt down again without daring to say a word.

"Go and talk to the butcher quickly, don't forget Dou Wu's old story! If you continue to break up, you will suffer the consequences!"

"Wei!" Yuan Shao quickly got up, without daring to raise his head. He bent over and walked backwards like a servant, then turned around and left.

Because he was walking in a hurry, he almost bumped into a servant waiting at the door when he arrived at the door. Yuan Shao, who was holding back a belly of evil fire, without thinking, kicked the unlucky servant down in the waist and left in a hurry.

.

But this scene was seen by a young man in rich clothes who came out from behind the screen in the hall and sneered softly, "It's just to show off one's power in front of the servants..."

The handsome man walked up to Yuan Wei and saluted, "Uncle."

Yuan Wei nodded and motioned for the handsome man to sit down: "Shu'er, what do you think of this matter?"

The man in rich clothes, who was Yuan Shu, straightened out his clothes, sat down at the banquet in a graceful manner, and said, "This is Cao Ah Man's plan to slow down the troops. After all, Cao Ah Man's surname is Cao!" Cao Cao's father, Cao Song, was the adopted son of the great eunuch Cao Teng, and the great eunuch Cao Song

Teng is simply a typical representative of successful people in the eunuch world. He served four emperors and was named Fei Tinghou! A eunuch marquis! This made the Yuan family, who regarded themselves as pure people, extremely embarrassed.

Yuan Shu's meaning is also very clear. Cao Cao was born in a family of eunuchs, so how could he sincerely make suggestions for the great cause of eliminating eunuchs?

Yuan Wei nodded slightly, with a look of satisfaction on his face, "Shu'er's words are exactly what I want. It's not difficult for the jailer to capture him, but if he can't get out, who can give the order?"

Regarding the cause of killing eunuchs, Cao Cao had a bad idea. Who are the eunuchs? They are a group of people closest to the emperor. Who can kill eunuchs with a direct order? Only the emperor. And the current emperor Liu Bian is young.

Is it possible that when he has just become emperor, he must order the killing of those close to him who previously served him?

Previously, He Jin killed Jian Shuo in the name of Jian Shuo's disobeying the Han Ling Emperor's last wish. This was more or less justified. Besides, he only killed Jian Shuo. But now it is clear that the chariot and the horse must be killed regardless of the reason.

How could it be possible for a jailer to kill all the powerful eunuchs?

"What my uncle said is true. Cao Ah Man is just killing him out of fear and breaking his foundation. It's a pity that my eldest brother can't detect it..."

"Incompetent bastard, don't mention him!"

"Only." Yuan Shu agreed, then smiled and said, "Uncle, I happened to buy a treasure in the market a few days ago, and I am here to present it to my uncle."

Yuan Wei shook his hand and came out looking a little happy, "If there is any treasure, you can just keep it. My uncle is not lacking either. You have this intention and it is enough."

"This way, uncle, I will never let you down!" Yuan Shu said with a smile, turned to face the door and said loudly, "Come here, bring me what I brought!"

Yuan Shao was sitting in the carriage, and the more he thought about it, the more angry he became. He punched the carriage angrily, frightening the guard who was driving, and stopped the car in a hurry to ask.

Yuan Shao replied in a muffled voice that the guard had nothing to do and continued walking, but his heart was boiling like a boiling pot.

Of course I know whether Cao Amo's idea is good or bad, but what's the benefit of me going to reveal it?

Cao Ahao was right. To kill an eunuch, you only need to call a jailer, but what about killing all the eunuchs? Who has the qualifications to order the arrest and killing of eunuchs, only the emperor. But the question is, will the emperor give this order? ?The emperor is still young and only listens to the Queen Mother He. And if He can be the Queen Mother, it is said that several eunuchs have contributed a lot. How could he order the killing of all the eunuchs?

What's more, if all the eunuchs here are eliminated, will there be no new eunuchs in power after the next day? They talk about righteousness, saying that it is all for the country and the country, but in fact it is not for selfish desires! It is nothing more than the old man being humiliated by Zhang Rang and others before. It’s just that when the time comes, you won’t show mercy!

Although Jian Shuo, the Eighth Military Academy Lieutenant of Xiyuan, has been executed, after all, the eunuchs have been running the business for many years, and there are countless disciples and old officials among them. Execution of all the eunuchs will undoubtedly lead to chaos, so the old man sent Dong Zhuo from Kansai to Beijing to weigh in to prevent unexpected events.

Yuan Shao sighed deeply, Cao Ah Man, I can't help you this time. It seems that the old man is determined to fight the eunuchs until death.

For Yuan Shao, the desire to get rid of the eunuchs was far less strong than the desire to gain benefits for himself. He had not experienced the disaster of party imprisonment when the eunuchs were in power, and he did not hate the eunuchs to the core like his uncle Yuan Wei did.

Yuan Shao was far less popular at home than he was outside. He just wore the cloak of being the eldest son and grandson, but at home, his identity was still that of a concubine. In fact, it was his brother Yuan Shu who was favored.

You get a share of the dirty work, but the benefits are pitiful! For example, the Yuan family thinks very highly of themselves and is unwilling to have too much contact with He Jin, who was born as a butcher. When He Jin needed help, he assigned Yuan Shao to assist He Jin in front of the horse and behind the horse, while leaving his beloved Yuan Shu by his side.

Yuan Shao basically didn't feel the warmth of relatives at home. He only felt the friendship of some friends with Cao Ah Man. This was one of the reasons why he did not expose Cao Ah Man.

Killing Jian Shuo, helping Liu Xie ascend to power, and summoning Dong Zhuo to the capital. Behind all of this are traces of the operations of the Qingliu represented by the Yuan family. Yuan Shao was just a puppet pushed out by these Qingliu.

But after all, these ideas were ostensibly made by him. If something bad happened in the future, it would be Yuan Shao who would take the blame.

Yuan Shao knew it, but he had no choice but to say no. If he hadn't been pushed out to be a puppet, he wouldn't even be qualified to enjoy the glamorous coat of the Yuan family.

This is the sorrow of a concubine.

But even so, so what!

Yuan Shao clenched his fists, his face was ferocious, and he was shouting wildly in his heart——

I, Yuan Shao, Yuan Benchu, the only way is to seize every opportunity, go up, go up!

I, Yuan Shao, Yuan Benchu, must get rid of this prison and create a world that belongs to me!

I, Yuan Shao, Yuan Benchu, will let everyone in the world know my name, and let these people who bully and humiliate me make the world crawl at my feet!
