"I know what you are going to say. Don't forget how Zhang Rang made old man Lu Zhi lose his military power and return to the capital Luoyang obediently. He was in the first grade of junior high school, and I was in the fifteenth grade! Benchu, do you know?
What is the scariest thing in the world? It's a rumor... Good things, I can make them bad and smelly, and we can also make them fragrant. It just depends on whether you do it or not, and how you do it!" Yuan Wei
He spoke earnestly to Yuan Shao, then picked up a small bell on the table and struck the bell.
As soon as the bell rang, the butler Yuan Fu walked in from the door. Yuan Wei took the note from Yuan Shao and handed it to Yuan Fu without saying anything. Yuan Fu glanced at it and immediately tore up the note.
He swallowed it into his stomach, then bowed and said: "Master, I'll go down first."
Yuan Wei waved his hand and said: "Go... By the way, go find the second young master. I have something to ask him to do." Yuan Fu responded, bowed his waist, and exited the study. There is no doubt that this second master and servant
The tacit understanding between people has reached the level of understanding.
Yuan Shao didn't need to give any orders, but the housekeeper Yuan Fu knew what the old man had in mind. This kind of tacit understanding made Yuan Shao very envious, and thought to himself: "I am really worthy of being a book boy who grew up with my uncle!"
"I heard that Dong Zhuo was granted the title of Marquis of Aoxiang?"
Yuan Shao nodded jealously and said: "Exactly, not only that, Zuo Aoran was also granted the hereditary double marquis title. I really don't know what kind of smoke is coming from the graves of his Zuo family, so that he can have such a
Good luck in officialdom."
The Marquis of Aoxiang is a rural Marquis, a hereditary Marquis. Sons inherit their father's legacy and pass it down from generation to generation. Among the ranks of titles in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Zuo Aoran's official position is unmatched by anyone. This fact has simply made countless people
Jealous eyes are red.
But Yuan Wei laughed: "Benchu, have you read Yihu?"
Yuan Shao was startled, nodded and said: "Of course I have read it!"
"Now that you have read it, you should know what the Qian hexagram says. Dong Zhongying was the governor of Hedong at that time. He promised not to use the hidden dragon on the ninth day of the lunar month, and then used Taiping Road to cause trouble. He saw the dragon in the field, and he stayed at Guangzong.
, isn’t it the hexagram that corresponds to the gentleman who works all day long? Then he went to Liangzhou, but it was September 4th, or leaping into the abyss... Now, the Dong family is at its peak, and it is like a flying dragon in the sky, hehe, but what will happen to him in the future?
That's something no one can say for sure... Benchu, don't forget about Zuo Jiazi!"
Yuan Shao's eyes flashed with light, and then he said: "What do you mean, uncle... is that going too far is not enough?"
Yuan Wei stood up, pointed at Yuan Shao's chest, then pointed at his own chest, and then said: "You know, I know..."
Everything always has its ups and downs. When development reaches its peak, it also means the beginning of decline. Yuan Shao suddenly became energetic, smiled and said in his heart: "As expected of my uncle, he sees things thoroughly."
"I understand, kid." Yuan Shao bowed and said, "Uncle, what should we do?"
"Now that the Dong and Zuo families are in the limelight, it is not appropriate to conflict with them head-on. We will just wait for him and wait for him to make a mistake. When we go along with the flow, we must give up what should be given up. If we don't throw away some things, so what?
Can we get greater benefits?!" Yuan Wei said.
Yuan Shao said again puzzled: "What uncle means..."
Yuan Wei immediately said: "Give all the troops and horses in your hands to these two!"
"Ah?!" Yuan Shao exclaimed.
Yuan Wei took out a stack of letters from the desk drawer and said: "Don't forget, the things we collected at the Wu family were now used as weapons during the fight between Dong Zhuo and Zuo Aoran, but it doesn't matter.
At least from these letters, we can influence Dong Zhuo's mind."
Yuan Shao said succinctly: "You mean..."
Yuan Wei shook his head and said: "Let me ask you, if Jian Shuo didn't have the edict, would he have dared to do that thing?" Yuan Shao was startled, and then he realized that what Yuan Wei meant was that if Jian Shuo dared to assassinate He Jin, the emperor would
Did you give him a will?!
"Since Guangwu, relatives have repeatedly become threats to the royal family. Earlier, Wang Mang used his status as a relative to plot rebellion and usurp the throne. I guess that the emperor still has scruples about He Jin in his heart. If he wants to preserve the foundation of the Han Dynasty, he must
He Jin will be killed... We all know that the late emperor actually preferred King Chen Liu, so this may not be our opportunity." Yuan Wei said in a dark tone.
"But... no edict was found on Jian Shuo?!" After Yuan Shao finished speaking, he suddenly shouted "Ah", shook his head and said: "No, no! That Jian Shuo seems to have committed suicide."
, the last person he saw was..."
The smile on Yuan Wei's face became even thicker, he stroked his beard and said: "I am very relieved to be able to think of this."
Yuan Shao's thoughts suddenly opened up and he said softly: "Why don't we just tease Dong Zhongying into promoting and abolishing the establishment?"
Yuan Wei did not speak, but picked up the flask, filled himself with water and wine, raised the glass to Yuan Shao, and drank it all in one gulp. Yuan Shao let out a long breath, and all the unhappiness in his heart disappeared.
He also poured himself a glass of wine...
When Yuan Shao was about to drink the wine, he suddenly remembered something and asked: "Uncle, why do you think there is still banditry in Luoyang City? They even ransacked Yingchun Street?"
Yuan Wei spit out a mouthful of wine, coughed a few times and said, "Bandit trouble?"
It turned out that Yuan Wei stayed in the study all night, and no one except Yuan Fu could approach him, and Yuan Fu did not leave too far. Although the riots in Luoyang City were serious, they did not attract Yuan Fu's attention.
When Fu went out to inquire about the news, the situation had calmed down.
Most of what Yuan Fu paid attention to was about what happened in the court. After understanding a general idea, he hurriedly returned to the mansion to report. Therefore, Yuan Fu thought that the martial law on the street was the result of the riots and rioters in the imperial city last night.
.
When Yuan Wei heard what Yuan Shao said, he was shocked and asked anxiously: "How do you say this at the beginning?"
Yuan Shao did not dare to slack off at all, and quickly told Yuan Wei what he knew in detail. After Yuan Wei listened, his expression suddenly became very ugly, extremely ugly.
"This is impossible. After the Taiping Dao rebellion, the late emperor sacrificed his butcher's knife and went on a killing spree, and there were so many soldiers and horses in the capital. How could such a thing happen? Unless these thieves and bandits didn't want to live anymore, how could they dare to come to Luoyang to plunder?
!" Yuan Wei said in confusion.
Yuan Shao was also a little puzzled. He shook his head and said: "I also think this matter is a bit strange. When I escorted the emperor back, I heard that all the official families on Yingchun Street had been looted. I was thinking, if these
If the robbers seek wealth, how much money can the official family get? On Zhengyang Street in Nancheng, half of my wealthy people are gathered, and none of them is rich, but they have not been violated in any way."
