When the bamboo slips hit his face, Yuan Chen lowered his head and remained silent.
"Forging original letters, secretly communicating with the four generals in Hebei, and blocking the disciples of Mu Sheng, how brave you are!"
Compared with the Grand Lieutenant Yuan Feng, Yuan Wei, who once served as a Situ and later resigned due to the corruption of the party, looks much older, and his aura has declined.
This is a sign that the end is approaching.
But he is still a giant in conjunction, with great power, and the power of the sick tiger is still there.
And Yuan Chen, who was kneeling below and whose cultivation was completely imprisoned, was only a collateral descendant of the Yuan family.
Although Yuan Chen has many friends and has a good relationship with Yuan Shao, and is secretly serving as a think tank staff, but now that Yuan Shao's whereabouts are unknown, he actually dares to steal Yuan Shao's mark, fake Yuan Shao's handwriting, use the Yuan family's alliance, and plan a counterattack. This is monstrous.
It is no wonder that Yuan Wei was furious because of such a serious crime.
You must know that the elite soldiers under the command of Fourth General Yan Liang were secretly trained by the Yuan family and were originally used for rebellion.
Now that Wen Chou and Gao Lan were directly killed, and Yan Liang and Zhang He were also chased around, it was difficult to find a foothold. Ten years of hard work had been ruined. How could Yuan Wei not be angry?
"Master, I think this is my Yuan family's last chance!"
Yuan Chen's face was very calm, he had already put life and death aside, and said in a calm voice: "The reason why the prince left the capital was because the Buddhist sect entered the original mausoleum and dug out the dragon's veins. Now that the army has surrounded the Taihang Mountains and cannot enter, the Tiaomu Saint sect must use the ground to
Qi moves, I..."
"That's enough! No need to use these little tricks!"
Yuan Wei waved his hand to interrupt: "These old men you mentioned have known for a long time, but do you know that the prince is waiting for our Yuan family to rebel. Once he rebels..."
Unexpectedly, this time, Yuan Chen actually interrupted the family leader and said loudly: "So what if we rebel? Now the army is concentrated to the north of the Yellow River, and Guanzhong is empty. We can march straight in and attack Cloyang!"
He spoke very excitedly, but Yuan Wei seemed to be looking at an idiot: "What's the result? The world is in chaos, all states have raised troops to attack the Yuan family! Can Luoyang be defended? Can the Yuan family successfully ascend the throne? If not,
Isn’t that just a pioneer for the king!”
Doesn’t Yuan Wei know how to rebel?
He had a hundred ways to rebel, but the end would always be the same: the Yuan family would overthrow or severely damage the Han Dynasty, and then be destroyed.
Is it worth it?
Of course not worth it.
The Yuan family is in dire straits now. The power of the court has been wiped out in one day. But after all, they are still alive and have shrunk back to their ancestral land. There is nothing the court can do. This is why Yuan Feng ordered Tian Feng to bring back those seven words.
Bear it, bear it, bear it!
A family that has been passed down for thousands of years is by no means a knight-errant who wants to take revenge and block everything just to vent his bad anger. Instead, he must know that if he has regrets, he will have a peaceful future!
Yuan Chen hesitated and said anxiously: "Master, if we let the prince survive this calamity, when he ascends the throne, we will still destroy my Yuan family! Instead of sitting back and waiting for death in the future, it is better to take a risk now to see if he can be the pioneer of the king.
It’s still unknown!”
"Did you know that Taifu Cai Yong is now traveling around the states and visiting seven aristocratic families? The prince is young and energetic, and wants to kill them all, so he first designs to trick us into making mistakes, and then orders Cai Yong to convince each family. Unfortunately, he cannot succeed in the end. Wait until he understands
The aristocratic family is the foundation of the imperial court, so it will naturally give up..."
Yuan Wei sneered, took out a stack of flying letters and took a picture of them: "These are the letters from the heads of each family. What do you think will be written in them?"
Yuan Chen fell silent.
He knew that this must be the guarantee given to Yuan by the seven great families.
The eight great aristocratic families in the world are not all in the same spirit. They all prosper and suffer, but they all know the bottom line. The Yuan family can decline, but cannot be destroyed. They must not exploit the family and exterminate the family.
What a coward!
Those seven aristocratic families worked together to take away their Yuan family's official position, and now they are pretending to be good people?
Yuan Chen's chest heaved and he clenched his fists.
One day I will have the power to kill everyone in the world who betrays me!
That day no longer exists.
"Take it down!"
Yuan Wei waved his hand, and soon the guards took Yuan Chen down. After the rapid screams, everything returned to silence.
Seemingly quiet.
Yuan Wei knew that killing Yuan Chen would not solve the problem. There were hundreds of thousands of Yuan family members in Runan, and there were many people who had the same thoughts as Yuan Chen.
Especially young people who are full of energy and accustomed to the superior status of the Yuan family, the best family in the world, find it difficult to switch from extravagance to frugality, so they will naturally become rebellious.
"Ahem! Ahem!"
At this moment, Yuan Wei coughed repeatedly, feeling the unevenness of the star power in his body, and his face turned gloomy again, so he hurriedly took the elixir.
After silently adjusting his breath, he looked worried.
What Yuan Wei is most worried about now is where the Yuan family will go after he dies.
Originally, the designated heir of the Yuan family, the next head of the family must be Yuan Shu. Even if Yuan Shu is gone, Yuan Shao can still hold a big position.
Unexpectedly, during the changes in the capital city, the two heirs were imprisoned and disappeared. The next descendants of the Yuan family were not far behind, but they were no less ambitious. They refused to obey anyone and plotted to seize the throne.
Now Yuan Yi, Yuan Wei's legitimate son, has been designated as the next generation head of the family, but Yuan Wei knows that with Yuan Yi's prestige and ability, he cannot control such a large family.
"When I die, there will be chaos!"
Yuan Wei sighed deeply.
After all, he was once the Third Duke, with extremely high prestige, and he could still control the situation. Once he died, one of the Yuan family's children would definitely be responsible, and they would be bold enough to directly launch a rebellion in Yuzhou!
A single move can affect the whole body. At that time, Yuan Yi was coerced by the general trend and had to do the opposite even if he didn't want to.
"It would be great if there was an elixir that could prolong life!"
The higher the position, the more afraid of death, let alone such worries. Yuan Wei felt that he would have to live for at least another ten years before the Yuan family could stabilize and transition. He waved his hand and said: "Call Meng Jie!"
Not long after, an alchemist with a young face, fresh hair, and skin as smooth as jade walked in, bowed his hands and said, "Greetings to the master of the family!"
This person has a very good appearance, and it is easy to fall in love with him at first sight, but disdain flashed in Yuan Wei's eyes, and he said coldly: "I asked you to trick He Jin into taking Wu Shi Powder, not for you to use for yourself!"
Meng Jie was shocked and bowed down: "Master, if it is not a matter of discipline, then He Jin is a pig butcher. He practices martial arts all day long and is not good at this thing. His son He Xian has become addicted and even copied the recipe in a precious place, causing disaster.
Descendants!"
This is somewhat prophetic. The person who made Wu Shi San popular in history was named He Yan. He was the grandson of He Jin and the son of He Xian, but he was not born yet.
"That's all, it's useless to say all this now!"
Yuan Wei shook his head.
Regarding He Jin's layout, it happened two years ago when the Yellow Turban Rebellion had just begun, when he was the general. Now times have changed, and the prince oversees the country. Although He Jin also controls the imperial guards in the palace, it is all under the fingers of the prince.
Even if the plan is successful, it will not help if a little power is left out.
Yuan Wei summoned Meng Jie with an extravagant request: "Is your sect a branch of the Taoist Holy Land, Dantai Cave Heaven?"
Meng Jie puffed up his chest and replied very proudly: "Exactly!"
Yuan Wei showed a hint of hope: "Can you get me a pill to extend my life by a few years?"
Meng Jie was startled, his expression stiffened, and he did not dare to hide: "Master, you are born into the world as a saint, and you are born into the world as an immortal. Only when immortals are not stained by the mortal world can they live forever. If you rush to practice the longevity elixir for ordinary people, it will greatly harm your Taoism, so
Immortal tea is the limit..."
"alright!"
Yuan Wei had actually known for a long time that it was just a fluke after all, so he waved his sleeves and said, "Go down!"
Meng Jie had no choice but to retreat, feeling very frustrated.
The Yuan family in Runan has hundreds of thousands of disciples. What an opportunity it is to be able to enter Yuan Wei's eyes. But now, whether it is the Five Stone Powder or the life-extending elixir, the family owner has been disappointed, and the end must be relegated to the cold palace...
"Husband, that man came to visit again!"
"There are five stones scattered, bring them quickly!"
So when he returned home, when his wife Zhou mentioned that she had guests coming, Meng Jie waved his hands irritably, his jade-like skin was no longer shiny, and his whole body was twitching slightly.
Zhou glanced at him worriedly, took five stones and gave them some powder. After Meng Jie took it, he immediately felt as if he were in heaven.
After coming back to his senses, he remembered something and asked: "What did you just say?"
Zhou's face showed enthusiasm: "That Taoist Master Jia came to visit again and said that he can make you prosperous!"
Meng Jie was disdainful: "The wandering Taoist is clever and charming. I want to ask for the elixir to prolong my life. Can he get it too?"
Mrs. Zhou's face changed when she heard this, and she grabbed her husband's hand with great joy: "That's exactly what he said. If you ask for an elixir, he can recommend someone!"
