Chapter 647 People Respect Me One Foot, I Return One Foot
Sun Ce's lips moved slightly, but no sound came out. After a long time, Yuan Shu sighed, "Bo Fu, think about it more. I know you have great ambitions, but your foundation is too weak, and you have no ability."
Suppress the strength of the aristocratic family under your rule, and attack from the south to the north. Do you want to suppress the aristocratic family?"
This is not because Yuan Shu has Guo Jia's wisdom and knows that Sun Ce will definitely be killed by the family if he fights with the family, but that Yuan Shu comes from a wealthy family and understands the power of the wealthy family very clearly.
This is why Yuan Yao would say that his father was not lucky, but inevitable. In addition to the deterrence of Yuan Shu's own strength, there was also the suppression of the family behind Yuan Shu. This is also the reason why there are many rebellions in Yangzhou, but there are not many people who actually fight against Yuan Shu under the banner.
Zhou Yu signaled with his eyes, but saw Sun Ce silently turning his head and looking at Yuan Yao, "The Yuan family has a favor with me. As long as I have Sun Ce, the Yuan family will not fall. I, Sun Ce, must take my own path!"
"
In fact, Sun Ce's words had already violated the ban, but no one cared about it at this time. Although Yuan Shu often committed two offenses, his eyes were not blind.
He will do better than him in this position.
"Brother Bo Fu, it seems that I have no chance to become your moral brother. Remember to stop my father for me when he is unreliable." Yuan Yao's expression is getting better and better, and his reflection is becoming more and more obvious.
The hand holding Sun Ce became tighter and tighter.
"I will definitely stop him for you." Sun Ce nodded and said.
"Dad, I have something to tell you." Yuan Yao slowly took his hand out of Sun Ce's hand. The implication was self-evident. Sun Ce looked miserable and left with Zhou Yu.
"Dad..." After Sun Ce left, Yuan Yao's spirit suddenly declined, and his expression became quite gloomy.
"My son..." Yuan Shu said hoarsely.
"Dad, I'm afraid I won't be able to survive today." Yuan Yao said bitterly, "I have failed to live up to your expectations. You have found the best husband for me since I was a child. Unfortunately, your son is like a rotten tree and cannot be carved. He has neither
Brother Bo Fu's strength is not as strong as Brother Gong Jin's wisdom. I can't afford the Yuan family..."
"If I can't afford it, then I won't. The family fortune I have built is prepared for you. No matter how long my life is, Bo Fu, Gong Jin, I have always wanted to adopt him as my adopted son, just to prepare for you in the future. Unfortunately, this is
Life." At this moment, Yuan Shu aged suddenly, and tears flowed down uncontrollably.
"Dad, Brother Bofu, I really want to recognize him as my eldest brother. After I die, if you can, you can accept Brother Bofu as your adopted son. If not, treat him as your legitimate son. He is just like you.
Give me a foot of respect, and I will return a foot to others. If you always treat him kindly, the Yuan family will prosper." Yuan Yao slowly closed his eyes.
This sentence has exhausted Yuan Yao's strength. After all, Yuan Yao is the son of a noble family, and family inheritance is extremely important in his heart. It is for this reason that he told his doting father before his death.
"Yes, I will, I will treat him as a legitimate son, I will..." Yuan Shu burst into tears. A white-haired person crying a black-haired person will always make people sad.
"Thank you very much, father..." A smile appeared on Yuan Yao's bleak face, "Don't have a big funeral after my death. Dad, if you want your son to be remembered, you can use the extra grain every year."
Give it to ordinary people at this time, it will be remembered more than a big funeral..."
"I will, I will." Yuan Shu burst into tears.
At this time, Yuan Shu agreed to everything Yuan Yao said, but did not notice Yuan Yao's expression. After the last thing was explained, Yuan Yao lost his obsession and slowly closed his eyes, unable to wake up again.
"Yao'er!" Yuan Shu was crying and suddenly raised his head and let out a scream, and fell to the ground. Immediately, Sun Ce, Zhou Yu, Ji Ling, and Yuan Shu's wife Feng broke in directly and moved towards Yuan Shu, finally saving Yuan Shu.
"Yao'er..." Yuan Shu stood up and cried mournfully as soon as he woke up. He no longer had the courage of a lord, and was no different from a normal father who lost his son.
"Lord, please cheer up at this time, mourn for the little lord, and inform the northern Yuan family to adopt a son to inherit the lord's line!" Ji Ling still understood that people knew what to do at this time, and said immediately.
"Let's have a funeral. Bury him with the honor of Jiu Qing. Open the warehouses to release grains. Notify Yuzhou, Yangzhou, and Jingzhou. As long as all my subordinates, Yuan Shu, open warehouses and release grains. If anyone dares to deduct money, I, Yuan Shu, will destroy his clan. Those who practice fraud will be destroyed."
Destroy!" Yuan Shu said with swollen eyes and a hoarse voice.
"Here!" Ji Ling was a die-hard loyalist of Yuan Shu. Although he didn't understand why he was not buried with the rites of a prince, he left without even asking for a reason.
"On this day every year from now on, in addition to keeping the standing savings, all the excess food and grass will be distributed to the people!" Yuan Shu looked back at Yuan Yao with tears in his eyes.
"Uncle, I'm sorry. I believe that Brother Yao doesn't want you to be so sad for him." Sun Ce said as calmly as possible. Having experienced the pain of losing his father and having the whole family's life on his shoulders, he has matured a lot.
"Cao Cao! You and I are at odds with each other!" Yuan Shu shouted wildly.
Yuan Shu looked miserable. After a long time, he pressed Sun Ce's shoulder and cried loudly. He couldn't stop crying. It was the first time he was in such pain. He was beaten by Cao Cao in Luoyang before and his nose was bruised and his face was swollen. Yuan Shu was only angry at most.
Because Yuan Shu knew that it was nothing if he couldn't defeat Cao Cao. He could find his servants and beat Cao Cao until his nose was bruised and his face was swollen. But this time, even if he killed Cao Cao, his son would never come back, never come back!
"Bo Fu, Bo Fu, the Yuan family depends on you, depends on you..." Yuan Shu burst into tears. He no longer had any thoughts of conquering the world. With his son gone, everything was over.
"I will, I will..." Sun Ce nodded silently. At this moment, his courage was several times heavier. In addition to the Sun family, he was also carrying the Yuan family. He was so heavy that he couldn't breathe, but he was willing to bear these.
[Unless I, Sun Ce, die, the Yuan family will never be destroyed. If Mr. Yuan will not let me down, I will not let him down.] Sun Ce silently made up his mind.
In the spring of 194, Yuan Shu's only son passed away. In order to let people remember his son, Yuan Shu opened a warehouse to release grain every year on this day. This habit continued until Sun Ce's era, and then continued from Sun Ce's era to further eras.
Maybe some aristocratic families laughed at Yuan Shu for doting on his children, but they didn't realize that Yuan Shu's actions gave the people under his rule a hope of survival, and that trace of gratitude was enough to give a glimmer of hope to the Yuan family when it was destroyed.
After Yuan Yao's death, Yuan Shu did not accept Sun Ce as his son, but he completely delegated power to Sun Ce with the gift of a legitimate son. Yuan Shu also personally recommended Zhou Yu to the central government and awarded him Jianwei Zhonglang General. Gu Yong, Liao Li and others also
Many of them were granted titles, and Sun Ce felt guilty because of this, and he was determined not to treat the Yuan family badly.
