Chapter 583: There must be a place for my Yuan clan between heaven and earth
Time returns to the present.
In Shouchun City, after Yuan Shu received the information that Ji Ling had died in battle and Jiangxia City was in danger, he did not need to summon all his subordinates to come. He had already analyzed the current situation in his mind and quickly figured out what he was doing now.
The situation you are in.
Then he ordered someone to summon Lei Le, but learned that he had gone to Leijiazhuang on the outskirts of the city to recuperate from his injuries.
"Rebellious minister!"
After a slight change of thought, Yuan Shu understood what Lei Bo meant. How much he didn't think highly of himself was why he would blatantly sacrifice his life and loyalty in battle in exchange for the early retreat of the Lei family. In anger, Yuan Shu was going to destroy the entire family.
The Lei family was imprisoned, but after careful consideration, they endured it.
After all, the loyal Lei Bo in the past would have this thought. It is not difficult for Yuan Shu to imagine that when the entire Shouchun City and even Huainan received the news of Yuan Jun's defeat in Jingzhou and Ji Ling's death in battle, some of his subordinates would not be as loyal as Lei Bo in the past.
What will be the reaction of civil and military officials?
It is precisely because of this that Yuan Shu had the moment of madness after the ultimate calm in the hall, and the weakness and nostalgia after the madness.
Shouchun Hall, in the quiet hall, Yuan Shu has not left the Chengde Hall for a whole day and night since he received the information. The luxurious and majestic hall is now filled with endless cold chill.
On the marble steps in front of the throne, Yuan Shu was lying on the ground with disheveled hair. In the past, he paid most attention to the style of a famous family and the majesty of the emperor. At this time, he no longer had any trace of etiquette.
Outside the main hall, the frontline information brought back by Lei Bo, as well as the news about Yuan Shu's self-isolation in the palace for a day and night, were naturally quickly learned by Yan Xiang, who was Yuan Shu's chief plotter. If Yan Xiang hadn't just gone to Ping An one day ago,
Inspector, I'm afraid I met Yuan Shu yesterday.
At this time, Yan Xiang, who rushed to the palace quickly, walked directly outside the Chengde Hall without caring about etiquette, and asked in a deep voice: "How is the country?!"
"This..." the guard looked hesitant.
"Forget it, no need to report, I'll go in by myself!" Yan Xiang was anxious and immediately ignored the consequences, brushing away the guards in front of him and striding into the main hall.
After Yuan Shu decided to ascend the throne in Shouchun, Yan Xiang personally supervised the construction of this main hall. However, Yan Xiang had put a lot of effort and effort into it, and he naturally knew the furnishings in it. So as soon as he entered the door, he just casually
Looking at the messy scene in front of him, which looked like a violent wind, Yan Xiang was startled, but he also had a good idea of Yuan Shu's current state.
"nation!"
Adjusting his state of mind, Yan Xiang, who was originally anxious, adjusted his state in an instant, and with a calm expression, he bowed to Yuan Shu, who was slumped in front of the emperor's throne without any image, and said lightly: "I'm back in command, and the defense lines of Ping'a and other places are stable. As long as I
If the army does not retreat for a day, the coalition forces of Cao and Liu will not be able to advance an inch."
"You're here!"
In the main hall, the deathly silence gradually dissipated with the arrival of Yan Xiang. Yuan Shu raised his head indifferently and looked at Yan Xiang quietly. After a long time, he spoke in response, and then there was a long silence.
"The country, the general died in the battle, and the front line in Jingzhou is unstable. The ministers requested the country to give orders to counterattack Liu Biao." Yan Xiang waited quietly for a long time, but when Yuan Shu didn't react, he finally couldn't bear it and spoke again.
"Is it wrong to be alone?!"
After a long time, Yuan Shu slowly raised his head and stared at Yan Xiang with his dead eyes. After a long time, he said word by word: "You said, Gu...is it wrong?"
Yan Xiang was stunned, and his mind was filled with thoughts.
Is the country, the lord, or the Yuan family’s legitimate son whom I serve, Yuan Shu and Yuan Gongdao, wrong?!”
There is no doubt that there are many mistakes made, so much so that a good situation will be ruined.
However, as a minister, can I say it clearly?
Yan Xiang doesn’t know!
Perhaps he could guess that at this time, Yuan Shu had begun to feel a trace of regret in his heart.
Regret that the family had insisted on the distinction between legitimate sons and concubines, regretted the power dispute with his brother Yuan Shao, regretted that he had used his status as legitimate son to forcefully take over the family's accumulation of several generations in Yuyang, only to ruin it step by step. Regret that he was once again
When the great opportunity came, he persisted in proclaiming himself emperor, causing this huge Huainan foundation to be in danger of overthrowing in an instant. I regret Ji Ling's death, regret...
I regret that when the opportunity was great, I did not obey the family's instructions to join forces with Yuan Shao early, allowing the Yuan family's power to merge from the north to the south, and lay the foundation for Dingding's world, which ultimately led to the Yuan family's current crisis.
However, even though he could guess so much.
As a minister, how can he act against his master in rebellion?
Yan Xiang doesn't want to do it, and he doesn't dare to do it!
There are still hundreds of members of the Yan clan behind him, how could they all die because of him?
There are three kinds of unfilial piety. The greatest is not having descendants, how much more is it like losing one's clan?
Yan Xiang didn't dare to gamble, nor was he willing to gamble with the fate of his entire family, especially when facing the lord and emperor who was so familiar to him in the past and now so strange to him.
capital and desire.
There was silence, as if a substantial sense of depression continued to accumulate in the entire hall, reaching the extreme level of depression.
"Hiss~"
Yuan Shu, who had been waiting for Yan Xiang's answer for a long time, suddenly let out a cold laugh like the neighing of a night owl, and murmured to himself: "If you don't tell me, that means I'm right!"
"Yes, I, Yuan Jiujiu, am right!"
"I, Yuan Jiujiu, can never be wrong!"
"Now the great "accomplishment" has been established!"
"It's me, the legitimate son of the Yuan family, it's the Yuan family's sons Yuan Shu and Yuan Jiujiu who have accomplished what the Yuan family of the fourth generation and the third generation has been pursuing. It's me who has made the Yuan family of the fourth generation and the third generation reach a higher level in this troubled world.
, took that decisive step!”
"Eldest brother, father, uncle..."
"Just wait, wait patiently!"
"Gu will prove it. It will prove that I, Yuan Gongdao, am right. Only Gu can lead the Yuan family to the top."
"Cao A'gan wants to stand out, Liu Jingsheng wants to get rid of the rebellion and protect himself, and even the weavers and shoe sellers, who don't know the so-called Wilderness Liu, also want to use me, Yuan Shu, as a stepping stone to snatch the glory that does not belong to them."
"Then let me see, let me see what they are capable of!"
Yuan Shu whispered, the ferocity in his eyes accumulated crazily, and his fierce look was revealed.
"If you want Gu's life, then come and let Gu see what you are capable of!"
After saying these words, Yuan Shu suddenly stood up from the steps, turned around and strode to his throne and sat down. The fierceness on his face quietly faded, and the oppressive and cold aura in the hall slowly dissipated.
Yuan Shu raised his head and stared blankly in the direction of Hebei. A strange dark blush quietly appeared on his face, and he muttered to himself as if he was nervous: "Brother, if you die, you died for the family. But, don't
Forgot, I, Yuan Gongli, am the legitimate son of the Yuan family, and I am no less concerned about the honor and survival of my family than you are. In today’s battle, it is either victory or death, so how can I let you be more beautiful than before?"
"You guys, please walk slowly, there must be a place for me, the Yuan family, between heaven and earth!"
"Come here, summon everyone to discuss matters in front of the Civil and Military Hall!"
