Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao didn't have much confrontation with each other on weekdays. It could even be said that they were more like enemies to each other.
If Yuan Shao died suddenly and suddenly, Yuan Shu's first reaction would definitely not be to go to the funeral, but to burn incense and pray devoutly, telling the sky that he had eyes, and finally took away this evil obstacle in the world.
It is precisely because of this relationship that Yuan Shu usually won't be alone with Yuan Shao when there is nothing going on... he finds it disturbing... and eye-catching.
But today's situation is just the opposite. He would rather hurt his eyes and come here in the middle of the night. He must have something important to do.
When he saw that Wang Yun was here, Yuan Shu didn't know whether he was sincere or pretending. He immediately showed a look of surprise, stepped forward to greet him and said: "I heard that Meng De marched westward and rescued many ministers of the court in the land of Bianshui River.
, I was a little skeptical at first, but I didn’t expect it to be true! I am so happy to meet Wang Situ again here today!"
Yuan Shu stepped forward to greet Wang Yun, but Wang Yun felt uncomfortable at the moment, so he returned Yuan Shu's greeting with a sullen face, and showed a smile that was uglier than crying.
"Eh? Wang Situ, why are you looking so red? It's so different from back then! I recently found a famous doctor to diagnose my pulse and take care of my body. He once said that my red face is due to lack of hard work, and I need to warm up..."
"
The pottery merchant continued: "Wang Situ's heart is fine, but he blushes because he is angry."
Yuan Shu frowned and asked curiously: "Who made Situ famous?"
Tao Shang curled his lips secretly, looking at the word used, and it made Situ angry... Is Wang Yun trying to get popular?
Wang Situ didn't say anything, he just glanced at Cao Cao and Yuan Shao inadvertently.
Yuan Shu suddenly realized.
Straightening his body, Yuan Shu took on the posture of a rear general, turned to look at Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, and said: "Both of them were pillars of the court in the past, and today they are also commanders of the same side, and they are connected to the country and the country."
If your safety is in danger, you should show more self-respect in your words. What is your status as Old Situ? How can you speak recklessly and offend someone? If something goes wrong, Benchu and Mengde, can you afford it?"
Yuan Shao and Cao Cao just laughed and didn't refute. They just nodded: "Yes, what you said makes sense!"
"Wang Situ, how did the two of them make you angry? Tell Yu Shu! Let me help you solve your problems!" Yuan Shu looked at Cao Cao and Yuan Shao with dissatisfaction, and patted his chest to Wang Yun as a guarantee.
When Yuan Shao heard what Yuan Shu said, he hurriedly recommended: "Highway, thanks to your words!" Wang Situ was relieved. Now you all have escaped Dong Zhuo's troubles, but you have no place to stay for the time being. Meng De and I are living under someone else's roof.
How can someone like me have the ability to arrange so many ministers? I must have wronged you all, and now that you agree, Lord Situ’s difficult problem will be solved."
Cao Cao also added fuel to the flames: "You are now in charge of Nanyang County on the highway. It is rich and rich, and it is far away from the war-torn places in China. It is the perfect place for you bosses to avoid Dong's thieves, but it is wonderful!"
The pottery merchant also nodded and followed suit: "Nanyang County has a good climate and can provide for old age care."
Wang Yun had no expression on his face and looked at Yuan Shu: "Gaolu, what do you think?"
After hearing this, Yuan Shu understood what they were discussing!
Yuan Shao and Cao Cao were both heroes of the time, and Yuan Shu was not much worse than them. How could he reach out to pick up this hot potato? He gave in immediately!
"Alas, although Nanyang County is currently under my management, it is only a temporary residence and has not been officially granted the imperial title. From this point of view, Shu is just a person with no fixed abode... The princes followed Yuan Shu,
Isn’t it still precarious? Let’s find someone else.”
After receiving consecutive answers from Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, Wang Yun seemed to have expected Yuan Shu's reaction. He nodded their noses and said, "Okay, each of you...very good!"
After that, he simply stood aside and sighed.
Yuan Shao didn't seem to want to get into more trouble on this topic, so he hurriedly asked Yuan Shu: "Gao Dao, why did you come here so late at night?"
Yuan Shao's words could be regarded as clearing Yuan Shu's siege, but Yuan Shu's face suddenly turned cold.
"At the beginning, something happened... It involves the danger of the country! You are the leader of the princes alliance, I have to tell you this!"
This sentence was extremely serious. The four words "risk of accumulating eggs" were obviously used in a very serious way. Yuan Shao and Cao Cao did not pay attention to it. Even the angry Wang Yun couldn't help but put aside his own affairs and listen attentively.
"Why is it so serious?" Yuan Shao asked hurriedly.
Yuan Shu looked around and whispered hoarsely: "I heard a rumor in the military camp just now. Now everyone in the city has heard it, saying that someone among our princes found...the jade seal in the palace!"
"What!" Yuan Shao and Wang Yun couldn't help shouting in unison.
Cao Cao's face darkened, as if he was thinking, while the pottery merchant raised his eyebrows.
The jade seal is the emperor's jade seal, a symbol of supreme power... It symbolizes a divine right to the king, a symbol that all people in the world should obey, and a symbol of the justice that the Chinese people have always emphasized.
When the emperor issued an order, it was called an edict if it was covered with a jade seal. If it was not covered with a jade seal, it could only be regarded as a draft at best...
If an ordinary person loses his official seal, he can engrave one at will. If the emperor's official seal is lost, where can he apply for a replacement?
It’s causing trouble for the country!
Yuan Shao hurriedly pulled Yuan Shu aside and said hurriedly: "Who did you hear that, and whose hands did the jade seal fall into now?"
Yuan Shu spread his hands and said: "What I told you are just rumors spread in the army. I don't know who took the jade seal specifically..."
Yuan Shao frowned: "Rumors? Highway, I am not talking about you because of my brother. How can rumors be believed? What you just said shocked me."
Yuan Shu shook his head and said: "Benchu, what you said is wrong. How can there be unprovoked rumors in this world? Moreover, the jade seal is related to the state and the country. Even if it is a rumor, it must be carefully investigated to find out how it came out.
Such rumors! Otherwise, if the rumors spread, the false ones will become true!"
"If that's the case, then the rumors must have someone to refer to, right? Who is it?"
Yuan Shu hesitated for a while, then murmured: "I just heard it, it seems that it was Sun Jian..."
The pottery merchant listened on the sidelines and sighed secretly in his heart, these people... there is really no good thing.
Yuan Shu came specifically to plot against Yuan Shao and Sun Jian this time.
If this matter was not affected by the butterfly effect caused by his time traveling here, it means that this thing is likely to fall into Sun Jian's hands in the end.
When he was in Yingchuan, Yuan Shu was already wary of Sun Jian. With Yuan Shu's ambition and methods, it is very likely that he had secretly sent spies to sneak into Sun Jian's army. When the jade seal fell into the hands of Sun Jian, it was obviously Yuan Shu.
The detailed work leaked the news to Yuan Shu.
But Sun Jian is still nominally Yuan Shu's partner, or in a higher sense, he is Yuan Shu's vassal... Yuan Shu coveted the jade seal, but he couldn't force Sun Jian out of his camp because of this matter, so he used rumors to
He came to Yuan Shao and wanted to use Yuan Shao to deal with Sun Jian and force Sun Jian to hand over the jade seal.
Yuan Shao will definitely send someone out to investigate this rumor later. If nothing unexpected happens, Yuan Shu must have secretly sent his men to spread this rumor throughout the ruins of Luoyang and make it true! False rumors will also become true after the spread of rumors.
’s... not to mention that this thing is actually true.
Having guessed Yuan Shu's tricks and methods, the pottery merchant had to secretly praise that it was indeed a beautiful job. However, seeing his sinister intentions, the pottery merchant did not dare to compliment him...
Yuan Shu is really not a good person, the kind that is so bad that he falls to pieces... Is there any pure land in this world that can provide a place for a gentleman like himself to live?
Wang Yun was trembling with fear as he listened. The old man hesitated and then said to Yuan Shao: "At first, what the highway said may not be rumors! A few days ago, when Dong Zhuo moved all the officials from Luoyang to Chang'an...
… Along the way, I really didn’t see Fu Xilang, who is in charge of the jade seal…”
Yuan Shao frowned and said, "Wang Situ, this matter is of great importance. Don't you make a mistake?"
Wang Yun shook his head and said: "I can't be wrong. Although millions of people moved to Luoyang, hundreds of officials gathered in one place and moved together. They were divided into three groups after leaving the city... Although the officials' families were
Quite a few, but I am sure that I did not see Fu Xilang in the imperial court, maybe he suffered an accident in the chaos before leaving Luoyang..."
Seeing that Wang Yun was the witness, Yuan Shu hurriedly said: "Look at Benchu, Fu Xilang is the official in charge of the emperor's seal. He has a very important responsibility. If this person can't be found, Yu Xi is not with your majesty!"
After all the words were said, Yuan Shao already believed it 70% to 80%.
What Yuan Shu just said may be a rumor, but after some analysis by Wang Yun and others, it has become a mountain of ironclad evidence in Yuan Shao's mind.
Yuan Shao turned around and shouted: "Where is Wen Chou?"
Wen Chou strode up to Yuan Shao and said loudly: "The general is here!"
"General Wen immediately led his troops to Sun Jian's place in Changsha and asked Grand Administrator Sun to come over immediately to discuss matters!"
Wen Chou accepted the order and was about to turn around and leave when he saw Yuan Shao's soldiers running over in a hurry, cupping his hands in front of Yuan Shao and saying, "To the leader of the alliance, Sun Jian, the governor of Changsha, has come to see you on important matters!"
Yuan Shu squinted his eyes and revealed a sneer at the corner of his mouth.
