"In the past, there was a saying in the Han Dynasty: The Han Dynasty suffered from the calamity of the Sixth and Seventh Dynasties, and Fa Ying was ordered to do it again. Who among the descendants of the clan should respond to this? Those who are the Han Dynasties in the Sixth, Seventh, and Forty-second Generations should be Tu Gaoye. Therefore, it is known all over the world that those who are the Han Dynasties should be Tu Gaoye.
, when Tu Gaoye!”
Yuan Benchu, who was hurriedly called over from the outskirts of Luoyang, picked up a piece of Gongsun paper on the case and read it carefully. After reading it, he felt that his father and uncle were making too much fuss... Who doesn't know this? It's cliche.
As for the source of prophecy, this kind of rumor even calls me from outside the city?
"Don't read it out, just read it yourself!" Yuan Wei, who was blushing at the side, couldn't help scolding. "There's more below."
"Here!" Yuan Shao, who was still wearing his mourning, quickly agreed casually, then picked up another wooden slip in order, looked at it carefully against the light, and saw that it read:
"However, the number six, seven and forty-two does not necessarily refer to the number of emperors, but can also be the number of years. It has been nearly three hundred and ninety years since the emperor of the Han Dynasty killed the white snake. It may be said that the monsters appear one after another, which is the natural phenomenon of the sky, showing the Han Dynasty
Only thirty years left to live!"
Seeing this, Yuan Shao's heart was already pounding a little... These words are not some cliche nonsense like "those who represent the Han Dynasty should be Tu Gao".
And this fresh explanation is quite interesting... Tu Gaoli, who represents the Han Dynasty, thinks that "the Han Dynasty suffered from the calamity of sixty-seven years". It is generally believed to refer to the fall of the Han Dynasty after the 6742nd Emperor, but here it is believed that it means the fall of the Han Dynasty after the 6742nd Emperor.
The country perished in 420 years. It is also believed here that the starting point of time should be calculated from the time when the emperor of the Han Dynasty killed the white snake and inherited the destiny of heaven. It is actually 390 years ago this year.
Doesn’t this mean that the big man only has thirty years left?
After reading the second part, Yuan Shao quickly picked up the third object in order, which was a piece of silk cloth. After taking a closer look, he couldn't help but feel confused and speechless!
It turns out that the third paragraph actually says this:
"The fate of the Han Dynasty is in the fire, and those who succeed the Han Dynasty should be virtuous. The Yuan family came from Chen, so it should be here! Moreover, the four generations and three princes, the leaders of all surnames, are originally the most important surnames in the world, which is in line with the destiny! When Yuan Feng, the captain of Xu Changshui, goes to the palace with his sword
, Praise and worship without name, add nine tins, and grant Zhong the surname of Emperor. After thirty years, Yuan and Liu can follow the example of Yao and Shun, and the world can enter the peaceful world without the disaster of war!"
Uh, what does this paragraph mean?
it's actually really easy:
First of all, whether from the perspective of the five elements or from the perspective of strength, the Yuan family is the family that best matches the Dai Han family. After all, the Yuan family is now the second surname in the world after the Liu family.
Bo Zhong and Shu Ji, the surname Zhong means the second surname.
Then, the person who wrote this short article also creatively proposed a solution, saying that it would be better for the emperor of the Han family to grant Yuan Shao and his biological father Yuan Feng the title of "Emperor with the surname Zhong", which means "the second emperor", and
Slowly transfer power, and then wait until thirty years later when the two surnames can surrender peacefully, avoiding the phenomenon of bloody changes in the country.
Well, what should I say about such a creative method? No wonder Yuan Wei blushed and Yuan Shao fell silent.
"How do you feel about Benchu?" Yuan Fengke asked directly regardless of whether his son wanted to talk or not.
"Sir." Yuan Shao hesitated to speak, but finally had no choice but to speak. "Forgive me for being stupid, I really don't know how to 'feel', and I really don't know what to say!"
"There's always something to talk about." Yuan Feng pointed to Yuan Ji and Yuan Shu, who were kneeling outside the threshold, with their noses and faces swollen for some reason. "From your uncle to them, everything that needs to be said has been said..."
Yuan Shao had no choice but to sit down cross-legged and spoke to Yuan Feng and Yuan Wei in detail: "I'm sorry for my nephew's bluntness. At first glance, it looks like someone wants to harm our Yuan family, but if you think about it carefully, it may not be that person."
The sincerity of the disciple of Yuan Kuo. Didn’t my uncle recommend a famous person from Hanoi during his tenure as Taiwei? What’s his name? Xiang, Xiang..."
"Xiang Xu." Yuan Wei responded helplessly. "I'm going to be the Prime Minister of Zhao."
"Yes, Xiang Xu! I heard that this person once recited the Sutra of Filial Piety to the sky during the solar eclipse to pray for relief from the celestial phenomena. There are all such people. Doesn't it mean that there is no one who wants to be a hero of the dragon and is crazy?"
"Then what?"
"Then...if we consider the current political instability and repeated chaos, I think that in all likelihood, some people deliberately threw these things out to make us, the leader of the noble clan of the fourth generation and three princes, anxious and flawless.
Some of their plans!”
Yuan Feng nodded slightly, this was quite right, but precisely because of the rivalry, it was impossible to guess who did it... After all, the current situation is too chaotic.
"Of course, looking back, maybe someone really wants to harm our Yuan family!" Yuan Shao finally sighed. "The key is that the interpretation of this prophecy is too incredible. It is half true and half false, and it seems to be something and nothing.
'Position' is vaguely convincing, but the method proposed in the end is really dumbfounding! And the most powerless thing is that we have no way of judging how people in the world will view this silly rumor.
!”
"Finally, there is someone who understands!" Yuan Feng rarely sighed. "Original, you know... your uncle was so frightened when he saw this; when your brother saw this, he only thought about Gongsun Xun and that night.
Yang Wenxian had to tell me that those two families did what he did to humiliate him; your brother is the most incredible, he actually asked me if I did it secretly, and then really wanted to be the emperor of the Zhong family?!"
Even though Yuan Shao was in a state of confusion, he couldn't help but look back at Yuan Jiujiu with interest, which caused the latter to look at him angrily. However, Yuan Shu's expression was immediately replaced by a wooden clog from his own father.
Flying towards you!
"After talking for a long time, will the emperor believe this?" Yuan Wei couldn't help but interject during the intimate interaction between his brother and his family.
"I don't know!" Yuan Feng looked down at his bare feet and shook his head.
"Where is the minister?" Yuan Wei looked at Yuan Shao again like a barrage of shots.
Yuan Shao shook his head repeatedly: "I don't know!"
"Where are the people in the world?" Yuan Wei continued to ask sharply.
This time, the father and son said in unison: "I still don't know."
"What can you do?" Yuan Wei almost collapsed.
"Of course I need to confiscate these things that spread rumors, and then declare my innocence, and at the same time ask the court to investigate the matter thoroughly!" Yuan Shao, whose head was wrapped in linen, spread his hands and opened his mouth. "What else do you think, uncle?
"I wonder if there are many such things?" Only then did Yuan Shao remember to ask about something else.
"It's enough for all Luoyang people to know." Yuan Feng looked up and looked out. "This is not a particularly difficult method. Just make these prophecies in advance, and then use a few confidants and several cars to sneak around the city in the dark before the curfew.
Walk around in a circle and sprinkle it everywhere, where can you stop it?"
"Indeed." Yuan Shao couldn't help but sigh. "This is actually the same as the prophecies and nursery rhymes in the past. It's just that after the emergence of Gongsun paper, it is convenient to write large paragraphs. It's not like we haven't done it before!"
Yuan Feng nodded slightly.
"And it's not necessarily a bad thing." Yuan Shao continued to cheer up. "Now that the abolition of the empress has begun, how can the emperor and your ministers really care about such a ridiculous 'prophecy'? And if you are the emperor, your ministers will not doubt us because of this.
, maybe people in the world will value us more because of this, and we, the Yuan family, will naturally become known as the Zhong family in the world!"
Yuan Feng glanced at his adopted son and said nothing more.
In this way, with Yuan Feng's gentle glance, in early February, the situation in Luozhong was completely out of control.
The matter of Cai Yong's letter has not yet reached a conclusion, and the emperor still insists on his own way regarding the Hongdu School.
But on the other hand, Wang Fu couldn't wait to openly accuse the Song Empress of practicing witchcraft, which aroused the emperor's anger, making the pending abolition of the empress in the harem officially kicked off in an extremely tragic way; at the same time,
As the leader of the clan, the Yuan family was inexplicably entangled by the prophecy of the so-called "Emperor with the surname Zhong"!
Officials, ministers, and ordinary people in the city are all at a loss, and everyone has their own thoughts.
Of course, things have their own priorities. Among these things, the most intense and frightening thing is the aftermath of the abolition.
In less than three days, Wang Fun claimed that "the evidence is conclusive", and then the emperor became furious and officially ordered Empress Song to be thrown into the cold palace, and the entire Song family was imprisoned and tortured. Not only that, all nobles involved with the Song family were
Officials will all be knighted, dismissed, and removed from office!
The most representative of these is the family of Cao Teng, the former Great Changqiu. This family almost lost all their official positions in an instant because of their marriage to the Song family.
To be honest, today's attitude and demeanor of completely tearing off the skin and launching a big purge will only cause two kinds of reactions. The cowardly people will naturally remain silent, and the people with a bit of backbone will naturally respond more fiercely!
And if you add in the Hongdu sect, which is really unbearable for the scholars, the confrontation between the Emperor of Heaven and the old forces in the DPRK becomes increasingly clear.
All in all, the emperor and the courtiers; the scholars and the eunuchs; the old and the new nobles... The game of various forces in the court made the situation chaotic, and the division of camps was extremely chaotic. Often everyone played multiple roles. Obviously this
The two are at odds with each other on this matter, but they will help each other on another matter, and then they are innocently involved in a third matter...
Relatively speaking, Cai Yong's matter seemed inconsequential. Even when Cheng Huang, the official of the Central Academy, wrote to an enemy of Cai Bojie, inviting him to join forces, the other party blatantly refused on the grounds that the affairs of Hongdu Sect were far higher than personal enmity.
He accepted the invitation and wrote a letter in favor of Cai Yong's attack on Hongdu School.
As for Yuan's 'prophecy', or 'rumor', or something that is more appropriate as a 'big-character poster', just as Yuan Benchu thought, because it is too absurd... Although at the bottom
The common people were making a fuss, but among the officials and ministers, most of them just regarded it as a joke.
Of course, it's not like there weren't fools who went to the Yuan Mansion to express their loyalty, but were turned away by the enthusiastic crowd and sent to Captain Sili, and then there weren't people who were wise enough to actually write a letter demanding severe punishment for the Yuan family, but nothing happened.
But in any case, the real big shots in Luozhong didn't really take this matter to heart... Until mid-February, someone suddenly posted an article in front of the brand new gate of Nangong.
The article is very simple, even a little rough. It first lists the emperor's misdeeds since he came of age...from deepening the party's imprisonment to unreasonably abolishing the queen, from celestial warnings to indulging eunuchs, from rejecting sages to using Hongdu disciples...anyway
They are all words copied from famous recent articles.
Then, he listed the various virtues of the Yuan family in recommending sages over the years, as well as the support of the Ruyin and Wanluo scholars for the Yuan family...
However, the most shocking thing is the following paragraph. The article claims that before Yuan met Yuan Gong, he gave up being a servant and became a captain of Changshui in order to take charge of the military power;
Even Duke Cao of the Great Changqiu Cao Festival was on good terms with Yuan Gong!
Therefore, if the emperor understands current affairs, he should admit his innocence and let the "Emperor of the Zhong Family" take charge of the government! But if he does not understand current affairs, the Yiyin Huoguang incident will inevitably happen!
As soon as this standard "big-character poster" came out, the government and the public were immediately shocked... You know, prophecies became common in the Later Han Dynasty. Who hasn't studied "those who came to Han Dynasty should be painted high"? But posting this kind of big-character poster in front of the Nangong Gate requires the emperor
The nonsense about handing over power is really too shocking!
The last time it was a few imperial students who wrote in front of Nangong Gate, what happened? Duan Xi arrested thousands of imperial students in one breath and sent them to prison for torture!
Of course, what is different from last time is that everyone who understands now knows that the Border Army and the Northern Army will eventually listen to the emperor. Although the Huben Army and the Yulin Army listen to Cao Jie, at most Cao Jie can reach an agreement with Yuan Feng
Political alliance, is he crazy that at this age he still wants to serve Yuan Feng as the 'Emperor of the Zhong Family'?
Therefore, this matter is nonsense after all!
But it is nonsense, but it must be taken seriously.
In fact, when everyone heard that Cao Jie went directly to the palace to resign from the post of Changqiu, and the emperor agreed on the spot, everyone knew that the Yuan family was in trouble.
"Two Mr. Yuan! Brother Benchu, Brother Qiu... I didn't want me and the two of them to meet in such a situation! Especially brother Benchu, you are still in Xiaozhong, and I want to invite you back to the city to inquire. It's really
That's presumptuous!" In the main hall of the Yuan Mansion, Gongsun Xun, the official of Zhongdu who came to investigate the matter on the order of the Chancellor's Desk, seriously greeted the several key members of the direct lineage of the Yuan family in front of him one by one.
Of course, he said he was asking for greetings one by one, but he unceremoniously passed over Yuan Ji, who had not given him a good look before, and gave Yuan Shao a particularly high look.
But young people, under such circumstances, Yuan Feng and Yuan Wei didn't bother to pay attention to this.
"It made Wen Qi laugh." Yuan Shao had a sad look on his face and shook his head repeatedly. "I never thought that I would meet Wen Qi in such a situation... It is really hard to explain that our family was framed by a villain."
"This matter is so absurd. Everyone knows that Yuan is innocent. It's just a brief inquiry. Brother Benchu, don't worry." Gongsun Xun quickly leaned over, held the other person's hands, and repeatedly comforted him. "Moreover,
Well, the imperial court did not allow someone from the Sili Xiaowei to come to ask questions, but instead asked me, a Zhongdu official from Shangshutai, to come here. This in itself shows that the imperial court has no suspicion of Gong Yuan."
"I have to trouble Wen Qi a lot about this." Yuan Shao also expressed his gratitude again and again.
"Okay." A tall young chamberlain on the side couldn't help but frowned. "Dr. Gongsun is an official in Zhongdu. He was ordered to inquire about the beginning and end of this matter. He is not a guest. Please inquire as soon as possible.
, I can return to the palace as soon as possible."
As soon as these words came out, everyone's attention was immediately attracted. Even Yuan Ji, who was quite hostile to Gongsun Xun, immediately looked at this person angrily... But it was just a look, because this
His surname was Jian Mingshuo, and he was a close eunuch who had grown up with the emperor. Although he had not yet been promoted to the rank of regular eunuch due to his seniority, he was just a so-called Huangmen minister, but he was still a close confidant of the emperor.
"Mr. Yuan!" Gongsun Xun couldn't help but sigh after hearing this. "Since the Emperor's personal attendants are here, let's get straight to the point... There is no need to say anything about the connection with Cao Jie of Great Changqiu, or the conspiracy against the Tiger and Ben Army.
Yes, it is really ridiculous. There is only one thing... I dare to ask Mr. Yuan, you have a prominent family and have been ministers for generations, but why do you ask yourself for the military position of Changshui Captain?"
"I was just feeling the celestial phenomenon and felt that I was ashamed of my position as a minister, so I wrote a letter asking for punishment and demotion." Yuan Feng stared at Gongsun Xun and replied seriously. "As for what happened after the letter, the Emperor, the Chancellor, and the Huangmen Supervisor came.
It was dealt with, and I never thought that I would be appointed as the Changshui Colonel in the Northern Army."
"It stands to reason that this is indeed the case." Gongsun Xun said with a frown. "However, when Mr. Yuan wrote to plead guilty that day, among the two thousand official positions under the Central Committee's Jiuqing, only the post of Changshui Colonel was vacant. In other words, at that time, you
If you resign, you will most likely be serving as the captain of Changshui. Does Mr. Yuan know about this?"
Jian Shuo also kept a close eye on Yuan Feng.
Yuan Feng immediately shook his head and said, "Please report this to the ministers, Feng doesn't know!"
"I understand." Gongsun Xun nodded slightly.
Immediately, the two of them asked and answered questions, and from time to time they would also ask people to present some government affairs, which were very detailed.
Seeing that noon was approaching, Gongsun Xun looked at the sun outside the hall and took out the last piece of evidence from the wooden box beside him, which turned out to be several pieces of 'Gongsun Paper'.
"Mr. Yuan," Gongsun Xun shook the pieces of paper. "Do you know the origin of these prophecies, rumors, and demonic books?"
"There is someone who wants to harm me, the Yuan family, that's all!" After being asked for a long time, Yuan Feng was a little annoyed, so he immediately answered firmly. "I don't know anything about it."
"But there is something to worry about." Gongsun Xun pointed at the paper and continued. "These so-called 'Gongsun Papers' are nominally issued by my Gongsun family's Amway Company, but in fact the Amway Company is limited to Hebei, and the so-called 'Gongsun Paper' in Luozhong
Gongsun paper is produced by various workshops in Henan. After careful inspection, we found that these papers are very similar to the paper produced by the workshops in Yuan's manor..."
"The thief must have deliberately purchased it himself." Yuan Feng remained calm. "What's there to say?"
"That's right!" Gongsun Xun couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief, and then said with a smile. "In the final analysis, they are all unsubstantiated things. Mr. Yuan does not need to worry..."
"It doesn't matter." Yuan Feng probably realized that this humiliating inquiry was finally over, and couldn't help but laugh.
"Jian Huangmen." Gongsun Xun turned to look at Jian Shuo again. "Actually, this is what it is. There are unfounded words and unfounded things everywhere. It is neither enough to serve the world nor the law. You
But is there anything else you want to ask?"
"No." Jian Shuo couldn't help but frown. "It's just that I will tell the truth to the emperor today."
"This is natural." Gongsun Xun and Yuan Feng's family all bowed immediately.
After the inquiry was over, as Yuan Feng and Yuan Wei, they naturally would not send off a doctor and a Huangmen in person - but it was rare for the three brothers of the younger generation of the Yuan family to send those two people out together. The two elders of the family
The person naturally stayed where he was and sat quietly.
"How is it?" As soon as the three brothers came back, Yuan Wei couldn't help but stand up and ask.
Yuan Benchu, a model in the world who was wrapped in linen, was the first to answer: "I told Gongsun Xun that based on his performance in Shangshutai, he should have gone out to a large county and taken a further step in his official career, but he laughed and said nothing."
"This is a polite refusal." Yuan Feng replied simply. "But his teacher is Cao Shangshu of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and he has no shortage of good positions, which is reasonable. Where is the highway?"
"I also refused." Yuan Shu bowed and replied honestly. "In my life, this is the first time I have seen a yellow gate that doesn't charge money... I don't even want five hundred gold. What does Jian Shuo want to do?"
"He doesn't dare to ask for it," Yuan Feng sighed immediately. "He is a close servant of the emperor, so he must be aware of the emperor's attitude towards this matter... I don't think so, the emperor has already become red-eyed after clearing out the old dignitaries, and then he is really suspicious of me.
Yuan Zhouyang is gone!"
"What...what can I do?" Yuan Wei couldn't help but asked nervously.
"What can I do?" Yuan Feng couldn't help but sneer. "I still don't know how much the emperor has doubts about me, Yuan Feng. If he is just a little suspicious, he will naturally ignore me, and then according to the court system, wait for me in this Changshui School.
The lieutenant will stay with me for half a year and then be transferred back to the position of Jiuqing; and if I am really suspicious, I am afraid that I will be transferred back to the position of Jiuqing regardless of the rules and conventions."
"Is that all? It won't endanger my Yuan family's comfort, right?" Yuan Wei couldn't help but ask. "The Song family is also a century-old family, and the whole family was imprisoned in one day..."
"Bullshit, a century-old family!" After saying this, Yuan Feng suddenly stood up, walked to the front of the hall, put his hands behind his hands and looked at the sky and said. "I, the fourth and third prince of the Yuan family, have disciples and former officials all over the world. How can I be a has-been?"
How can our relatives and relatives compare?! If the Song family is the light of fireflies, our Yuan family is the scorching sun at noon! There are all kinds of absurdities in those rumors, but only one of them is very good... My Yuan family is the best in the world.
!Of course the emperor can take us down quickly, but if that is the case, I would like to see how many people are herders for him and how many people are working for him?!"
When Yuan Feng and his three sons heard this, they each thought deeply.
"Okay, all three of you, go ahead. I have something to say to your uncle." Yuan Feng waved his hand slightly, but repelled his third son.
The three of them quickly said goodbye.
"Brother." Seeing that only his brother and himself were left in the hall, Yuan Wei quickly handed over.
"I know who did this!" Yuan Feng turned around and said with his hands behind his back. "It's Gongsun Xun, the White Horse Zhonglang who just came to ask the case! In other words, it's Gongsun Xun and his comrades who are determined to punish the officials!
"
Yuan Wei was shocked: "Why does he want to harm us?"
"It's not that he's harming us, he just wants to tie our Yuan family's hands and feet so that we won't get in the way." Yuan Feng couldn't help but sigh. "This man, as well as Wang Yun, Tian Feng and others from Yushitai, have been thinking of dealing with him wholeheartedly.
The eunuchs were resolved by me and Cao Jie at the Shuori Dynasty. For this reason, Tian Feng resigned in public to vent his anger... But after this incident, Cao Jie resigned and our Yuan family was trapped. Naturally, they can take it easy.
Arrange it, and then try to kill the official!"
Yuan Wei was stunned.
"In fact, I should have thought of it earlier. It's just that these people are of too low status and didn't dare to think about it. If I hadn't met him today and saw that he deliberately let go of my communication with Cao Jie,
Otherwise, these people will really hide it... Young people today are really bolder and more intelligent than the last one!"
"In that case, what can we do?" Yuan Wei couldn't help but ask again.
"Don't do anything, don't tell my three traitors, it will save you a scare and give someone a handle." Yuan Feng replied easily. "Let them be arrogant for a while. After this period of time, I will crush them with one finger."
!”
"Here!"
"After all," Yuan Feng, who had his back to the door, suddenly pointed his finger to the sky and smiled at his younger brother. "My Yuan family is as powerful as the sun above our heads. It is awe-inspiring and untouchable. But now that the government has collapsed,
It has never harmed the prestige of my Yuan family. Although the other party has a small plan, it is nothing to mention!"
"Brother!" Yuan Wei suddenly changed his color. "There's a solar eclipse! There's another solar eclipse!"
Yuan Feng panicked, quickly put down his hand and looked back, and then he was stunned and didn't know what to say.
—————————I am the dividing line of collapse————————
"The fourth and third sons of the Yuan family in the Later Han Dynasty, their disciples and former officials spread all over the world. As for Yuan Feng, the brothers Yuan Wei were in charge of the Yuan family, and their power was growing day by day. However, the Han Dynasty was declining, and there were again those who were from the Han Dynasty. They should Tu Gao and Yuan Yuan.
"The words of the family". Whenever someone is arrogant, Wei is afraid of them. One day, after drinking, he leaned against the door and pointed to the sky. He laughed and said to his younger brother: "Why should I worry about my brother? The power of the Yuan family is like the great sun. If the Yuan family collapses,
It's bad, unless there is another solar eclipse today!' At the beginning of the year, on the day of Xinhai in February, and on the first day of October at the end of Xiping two years ago, there was a solar eclipse passing through Luo. For a moment, Yuan Wei also laughed. But the laughter didn't stop,
If there is a heavenly dog attacking the sun, if the complexion changes drastically, there will be depression." - "Shishuo Xinyu", Prophecy Chapter
