Yuan Feng looked at his younger brother who was wearing mourning clothes beside him, and comforted him sympathetically: "Sorry, my brothers and sisters must not want to see you like this."
At this time, the Yuan Mansion was shrouded in sadness. It turned out that just yesterday, the chief steward of the Yuan Mansion and Yuan Wei's first wife, Ma Lun, passed away. This talented woman from the Fufeng Ma family received the Yuan Mansion during her lifetime.
She was respected by everyone, and her death also made Yuan Wei, who had a deep relationship with her, extremely sad.
"Father, Shuo Shu has sent word that Jackals have sent a group of troublemakers to sneak into Luoyang, intending to disturb our sight."
Yuan Shu rushed in hurriedly, looking as high-spirited as if he had heard some great news.
"Brother, don't worry about me. It's important. Just let me accompany Lun'er by myself."
"Then you should pay attention to your health. After a while, the world may be a little chaotic, and you won't be able to cope with it if you don't have the energy."
After Yuan Feng finished speaking, he led Yuan Shu out of Yuan Wei's bedroom, leaving Yuan Wei alone looking at his wife's memorial tablet in a daze.
Yuan Feng looked at his two biological sons in front of him. The eldest son, Yuan Shao, inherited many of his mother's advantages without losing the majesty of a man. He was very attractive in appearance, but unfortunately he was not a legitimate child, and he was adopted.
Although his brother Yuan An and his eldest son Yuan Shu are not outstanding in appearance, he has been thinking a lot since childhood and is a very smart child. However, he is not stable enough and lacks a bit of grandeur.
Of course, the most important thing is that both of them lack experience. Yuan Shao only served as the county magistrate of Puyang County for one term, and then took the opportunity to mourn his adoptive father Yuan An and fled to Luoyang for several years. He was even almost caught by Zhang Rang and others.
Little pigtails. Yuan Shu, on the other hand,
From Lang Guan to today's Henan Yin, a position equivalent to the mayor of Beijing today, but this is largely because behind him stand Yuan Feng, Yuan Wei, and Yuan's distant relatives who have held three official positions.
Yuan Pang of the Yuan family in Chenjun.
Speaking of Yuan Pang, I have to add that many people have missed Yuan Pang when talking about the fourth and third sons of the Yuan family, because Chen Jun seems to be a bit far away from Runan, but Yuan Pang’s grandfather and
The grandfathers of Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu were the same person, but they were separated.
Moreover, Yuan Pang also has a son named Yuan Huan. In terms of seniority, he should be the same generation as Yuan Feng's grandfather, but he worked as a servant under Yuan Shu. He also worked for Liu Bei, Lu Bu and Cao Cao. So, if Lu Bu is not
If you like to be a "foster father killer", I'm afraid the reputation may be higher.
In addition, Yuan Shu also carries the military rank of Tiger General, but this is more like an honorary title to him. Even the county soldiers under Henan Yin seem to be unable to control him. Who told him to have a head above his head?
Where is Captain Sili?
But this time is an opportunity, an opportunity for the next generation of his children to grow up. No matter whether it is civil or military, the Yuan family must plan carefully to make their family the biggest beneficiary of this incident.
Soon, the aristocratic families in Luoyang City began to restrain their children. At the same time, the aristocratic families no longer took pleasure in talking about current affairs and criticizing Fang Qiu. Suddenly, there was singing and dancing in Luoyang City, as if all the mythical beasts were twisted by a huge pliers overnight.
But the only ones complaining are many tertiary industry workers in Luoyang, because the situation in front of them reminds them of the scene when the Sili Colonel Yang Qiu was the cool official.
"Is the sky in Luoyang about to tremble again?" The owner of the largest club in Luoyang looked in the direction of the imperial city, wondering with some uncertainty. At this time, a man of about 10 years old stood next to him.
The little girl also stood there quietly, with a beautiful and cute little round face with a slight smile, as if to show that she was indeed a delicious and good loli.
"Meng De, come out quickly. I bought pickles from Wufulou and Murderous Drunk from Nongxiangju. Come and have a drink with me."
Cao's Mansion in Luoyang and the Cao family in Qiao County have not been established for a long time. Seriously, it is only three generations. If we include Cao Cao's great-grandfather Cao Jie, who was well-known in his hometown, it is only four generations. Although the eunuch Cao Teng treated the world very well.
Although he was generous, the people he recommended also praised him a lot, but just like another eunuch Lu Qiang, although he did a lot of good things, if he really wanted to investigate, there were also a lot of shortcomings.
Moreover, Cao Teng's qualification for promotion was to imprison Li Gu, the hope of the gentry, and Liang Ji, the leader of the foreign relatives at the time, which eventually led to the disaster of the party. Therefore, Cao Cao was often scolded by his opponents as an eunuch.
This is how ugly comes, and because of this, throughout Cao Cao's early political career, he has been working hard to eliminate this influence.
One was an eunuch who was ugly and his political career was severely affected, and the other was talented but was despised because he was not the legitimate son. This similar experience made Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, two guys with similar personalities, quickly become good friends.
friend.
Of course, Yuan Shu and Zhang Miao are also in this circle because they also like the flying eagle lackey Ren Xia for fencing. However, as Yuan Shu is the direct son of the Yuan family, his status is naturally different, so his natural sense of superiority makes him somewhat separated from Cao Cao and others.
of
The social circle is still closer to those from aristocratic families, where there are more direct relatives. As for Zhang Miao, because he is older, he is more like a big brother rather than a fair-weather friend. In addition, Zhang Miao was also very famous at the time, "eight
One of the chefs.
One more thing, the word cook in "Eight Chefs" refers to "words can save people with money." To put it bluntly, they are rich people who are loyal and generous. This is very remarkable in the Han Dynasty, an era of loyalty. Don't you see Wei Zi (
This brother
They are still under Zhang Miao, and it is true that if the superiors do something good, the subordinates will follow suit.) Therefore, his son became the third Duke of the Wei State, Zhang Fei became the feudal official of the Shu State, and Lu Su succeeded Zhou Yu.
Shepherd and guard one side.
It has to be said that this was not only influenced by the chivalrous style, but also Lu Buwei Zhuyu.
Yuan Shao and Cao Cao drank spicy soju and ate delicious side dishes without saying a word. They both knew what the atmosphere in the capital was like now, and the only thing they could not be sure of was their respective futures.
"At this time, I was planning to join the army to conquer Zhang Jiao."
After a long silence, Cao Cao broke the silence between them. Then he raised his hand slightly, and a pretty woman immediately filled his cup with fine wine.
"I heard that the Qiang people in the west are ready to make a move, and the Hu people in the north are also uneasy. Shanyue in the southwest has been playing hide-and-seek with the court for many years in order to resist taxes. Those barbarians and powerful people in the south are also causing trouble.
It hurts. At first, I, Cao Mengde, don’t have the foundation of Yuan’s business for many years, so I plan to learn from Zhang Ranming or Huangfu Weiming, drive north beyond the Great Wall, and achieve the same feats as Huo Qiaoqi. This way, my life will not be in vain."
After hearing Cao Cao's somewhat drunken words, Yuan Shao smiled bitterly and shook his head. Although the wine in the cup was good, the drinker felt extremely depressed.
"Mengde, why don't I want to be like this? I have already taken some paths and plan to work for that butcher He Jin. With my background, I think that guy He Jin will take me seriously, so that I can step forward
Step by step, I want to show everyone that even without the help of my family, I, Yuan Benchu, can become a famous minister who is famous all over the world."
"Hahahaha~ It's been a long time since I've seen Benchu so generous. It looks like you and I are both drunk. Come on, have another drink and thank the elegant lady for providing you and me with such fine wine."
After hearing what Yuan Shao said, Cao Cao laughed up to the sky and raised the wine glass. Yuan Shao was stunned when he heard Cao Cao's words, and then he also laughed, slammed the wine glass in his hand against Cao Cao's glass, and then drank it boldly. Finally,
, the two people looked at each other, just about to laugh at each other's story.
After making a gesture, he heard two "plops", followed by a series of even grunts. The young woman who had been standing behind Cao Cao, pouring wine for the two of them seemed to have been accustomed to this kind of scene, and skillfully called Cao's servants to clean up.
The endgame, and organized people to send the drunk Yuan Shao back to Yuan Mansion.
Similar wine parties continue to take place in the mansions of various aristocratic families in Luoyang. Everyone has their own worries about the future, and everyone also has their own expectations for the future. In this calm moment before the storm, everyone is either excited or uneasy,
Or looking forward to it, they all pointed to the same thing in the end - good wine. The wine shop opened by the Zhen family in the capital made a lot of money.
Perhaps the biggest winner of the Yellow Turban Uprising was Li Shushi, the brewer. Old Tong smiled and said nothing.
But it is undeniable that Ma Yuanyi and Zhang Jiao, who originally thought that they were doing something secretive, obviously thought of things too idealistically. They obviously did not realize that their preaching with the help of the emperor had made many people wary.
A lot of chess pieces were easily buried inside them.
Therefore, when Zhang Jiao was really preparing to start an uprising, his every move was almost transparent to the emperor and to the aristocratic family. Those little people who were usually inconspicuous at this moment became the decisive factor in the outcome.
Putting your hands behind your back and opening your corners is still too naive and simple.
The night is already deep. However, whether in the palace or among the aristocratic families, everyone is formulating plans on how to make the situation more favorable to them. A storm is about to unfold.
p.s. No, I feel like I can’t hold on any longer... I’m really trying my best~ Thousands of words~ It’s all just floating clouds...
