"I want to announce Yuan Shao's crimes to the Yuan family members and denounce his actions. I wonder what you two think?"
After hearing Yuan Shu's words, Yan Xiang and Yang Hong were shocked at first, and then fell silent.
To be honest, they did not agree with Yuan Shu's denunciation of Yuan Shao at this time.
In other words, they never hope that Yuan Shu will denounce Yuan Shao.
The reason why Yang Hong and Yan Xiang took refuge under Yuan Shu was not because of Yuan Shu's strong personal charisma, but because their family had a good relationship with the Yuan family in Runan, and many of them benefited from it.
Among the many years of transactions between the Yang and Yan families and the Yuan family in Runan, these two people had the most contact with Yuan Shu.
Therefore, after Yuan Shu was devolved as the pastor of Northern Yangzhou, it was in the best interest of their family to take refuge under Yuan Shu.
Nowadays, the Yuan family in Runan is huge, and its family represents the interests of prominent families in the world.
As long as the Yuan family is strong and can overwhelm the imperial power, the noble families who follow the Yuan family in Runan to make trouble in the local area will be able to absorb more nutrients and gradually grow stronger.
But once the Yuan family in Runan has an internal split or shows signs of decline, it will be like a bolt from the blue to these wealthy families.
Their interests will also suffer as the Yuan family's internal strife suffers.
When the two Yuans fight, no matter who wins or loses in the end, it will definitely involve the families who follow the Yuan family.
This is what they don't want to see.
After listening to Yuan Shu's words, Yang Hong first asked Yuan Shu: "I wonder what crime Duke Yuan wants to accuse Yuan Shao of?"
Yuan Shu has not produced the letter written by Yuan Ji to Yuan Yi during this period of time, so neither of them knows Yuan Shu's trump card.
After Yang Hong inquired, Yuan Shu placed his long-cherished trump card in front of the two of them.
The two of them saluted Yuan Shu, and then Yang Hong reached out and picked it up first.
After he looked over it over and over, his expression suddenly changed.
Finally, Yang Hong handed the letter to Yan Xiang next to him.
After Yan Xiang saw it, he lowered his head and said nothing.
"Yuan Benchu had a deceitful heart and secretly plotted to kill my uncle and my brother in the name of attacking Dong. I, the son of the Yuan family, will definitely be at odds with this blood feud!"
"Yuan has been forbearing for a long time. Now that I see that the time has come, I should send this book to the elders of the clan in Runan and join all the wealthy families in the world to denounce Yuan Shao! You two, please help me to accomplish this."
Yuan Shu wanted to ask the two of them for help, but they didn't want to die.
Yang Hong advised Yuan Shu: "Your Majesty and Yuan Shao are brothers from the same father, and they have a brotherhood with each other. Now that the world is in chaos, the government is weak, and heroes are everywhere, wise and knowledgeable people hope that the Yuan family can stand up and take charge of the overall situation of the world, and return the favor to the world."
The world is peaceful and peaceful, this is the opportunity given by God to the Yuan family."
"At this time, no matter what Benchu has done, if you denounce him, it will be like letting Dong Zhuo and his like see the joke, take advantage, and harm the Yuan family in vain. This is not what the world's heroes want to see.
Yes, please make you think twice."
Yuan Shu's expression suddenly froze.
Obviously, he was very dissatisfied with Yang Hong's answer, very, very dissatisfied.
"Yuan Benchu plotted to kill the elders of the clan. He even plotted to kill his uncle and eldest brother for the sake of his position as the father of the family. This stubborn man is worse than a beast, but you asked me to let him go? What do you think!"
What Yuan Shu said was so righteous that no one could refute it.
And there was already a fierce light in his eyes.
It was obvious that he had murderous intentions.
Yang Hong and Yan Xiang also knew what kind of character Yuan Shu was in normal life. Seeing that Yuan Shu had shown such an expression, they knew that there was no way to persuade Yuan Shu to turn back.
Now, there is only one way before them...that is to assist Yuan Shu to accomplish this matter.
Thinking about it carefully, this letter has been in Yuan Shu's hands for a long time, but Yuan Shu has never taken it out. Recently, I heard that Sun Jian arrived in Nanyang. There is no doubt that he has surrendered to Yuan Shao and abandoned Yuan Shu.
It seems that Yuan Shu was angry because of this incident, so he finally decided to break up with Yuan Shao.
Yan Xiang, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke: "If Mr. Yuan wants to deal with Yuan Shao, a letter alone is not enough. After all, although the content of this letter vaguely points to the origin, it does not say it clearly."
"If Mr. Yuan delivers this letter to the elders of the Runan tribe, although it can lower Yuan Shao's prestige and make others suspicious, it will not completely overthrow him. The current situation in the world is already complicated, and all tribes in Guandong have taken actions.
Troubled times are about to begin. This thing may be successful in peaceful times, but it is not enough to subvert it in troubled times."
Yan Xiang is the first wise man under Yuan Shu.
Since he was willing to speak, Yuan Shu was naturally happy.
"How does Mr. Yan think I should behave?"
Yan Xiang said: "Mr. Yuan, in my opinion, if we want to overthrow Yuan Shao and let Gong Yuan lead the Runan clan and the Yuan clan to separate Tiannan, we need to introduce a justifiable leader of the Yuan clan."
Yuan Shu didn't understand a bit.
The patriarch of the Yuan family?
My eldest brother Yuan Ji is dead, shouldn't I be the leader of the Yuan family?
Didn’t I kill Yuan Shao just for the sake of becoming the leader of the Yuan clan?
If I want to push others out, why should I bother here with Yuan Shao?
Yan Xiang said: "Mr. Yuan, Yan didn't mean anything else. Yan just said that if he competes with Yuan Shao for the position of father-in-law in the capacity of Mr. Yuan, it does not mean he has an absolute advantage... And in this letter,
It does not completely explain that the death of Taifu and An Guotinghou was caused by Yuan Shao. Therefore, once Yuan Shao counterattacks, Duke Yuan will easily be self-defeating and passive. It will also make outsiders think that my father-in-law is plotting to become the leader of the clan and frame Yuan Shao."
Yuan Shu frowned dissatisfied: "Then, who should this sect leader recommend?"
Yan Xiang said: "Liu Deran, in the name of avenging Anguo Tinghou, led his troops south, crossed the Yellow River, and competed with Dong Zhuo. He won many times. Although he lost a lot of soldiers and horses, his reputation for loyalty spread widely throughout the world, and he won many victories.
Praise from heroes from all over."
"Now Duke Yuan might as well follow suit and first reprimand Yuan Shao for what he did, and then call on all the Yuan family members in Runan to support the son of Marquis Ting of Anguo as the clan leader. Then people in the world will not think that Duke Yuan's trip is just to compete with Yuan Shao for the head of the family.
position, but just to seek justice for my brother and uncle,"
"Such a name for Yuan Gong's loyalty is praised by all quarters, just like Liu Deran. And Yuan Shao's murder of Taifu and Anguo Tinghou is even more solid."
After saying these words, both Yuan Shu and Yang Hong fell silent.
They were all thinking carefully about the feasibility of this matter.
When I was young, I heard Yuan Shu speak slowly: "This method is not impossible, but my eldest brother's son is now in the hands of Liu Deran in Hebei Province. You said that I, the leader of the Yuan family, is now in the hands of Liu. What is this?
?”
Yan Xiang said: "The so-called sect leader of the Yuan family is just a false name now. After all, the first two generations of sect masters are dead and the inheritance has been messed up. Yuan Shiji's son is the sect leader, which is nothing more than a trivial matter."
"How can the resources of the Yuan family be controlled by him? After all, they are still in the hands of Benchu and Mr. Yuan, but Mr. Yuan can use this name to put Yuan Benchu in a dilemma."
"And we can also ask Liu Deran to return the heirs of my Yuan family and send them to Shouchun for this matter."
"Then if Liu Jian agrees, then Mr. Yuan will take care of his nephew and lead the Yuan family, and great things will be done!"
"If Liu Jian doesn't agree, then what's his purpose of not returning the Yuan family's sect in his hands, but he doesn't return it to the Yuan family? It's really heartbreaking! Then you can use this reason to denounce Liu Jian, ruin his reputation, and make him
I can’t hold my head high in front of the world’s scholars!”
"Liu Jian will then be reviled by everyone in the world."
Yuan Shu nodded and said: "Yes, if this sinister thought of secretly detaining young sect leaders from other families could be slightly modified and spread throughout the world, then Liu Jian wouldn't be able to explain it even if he had a hundred mouths. He could only obediently send me
My nephew is sent to Shouchun, it is China's best idea not to interfere with the affairs of the Yuan family!"
"Hahaha, you are really wise. Not only did you cure Yuan Shao, but you also gave Liu Jian a difficult problem. Very good!"
