Dong Zhuo had just admitted in public in the palace that he was childless and was already declining, which made the courtiers relax their vigilance towards Dong Zhuo.
For a political force with no future, what will happen if it gains power for a while?
Those big families that had been around for a long time had enough patience to wait until Dong Zhuo's death and easily win.
In comparison, a Yuan family who gradually revealed the possibility of turning dark made them wary.
The foundation of the Yuan family is too strong, and they are too active in many things.
Someone whispered among the courtiers, "When the eunuchs were killed, it was Yuan Shao and General He Jin who conspired to summon foreign troops, which led to Dong Zhuo. The Yuan family was the culprit of this disaster."
Someone answered immediately.
"When you said that, I suddenly remembered. It was Yuan Shu who set fire to the imperial city, brought his troops into the palace, and killed wantonly in the Han palace. Only then was he so frightened that Zhang Rang, the minister of Zhongchang, and others kidnapped the young emperor and ran away. As a result, they came out
Not long after the palace, it was robbed by Dong Zhuo."
As soon as these two things were mentioned, some ministers who had previously disapproved became surprised and suspicious.
"Yes, wasn't Yuan Wei the first to stand up for the deposed emperor and establish a new one? He also personally took off the young emperor's jade seal, helped the young emperor off the dragon throne, and declared himself a minister in the north."
"Just now, Yuan Wei and Yuan Ji wanted to persuade us to slander our loyal ministers and disturb the Dragon Sect, so as to open our eyes for the evil thief Dong Zhuo..."
When everyone put these things together, they all gasped.
What is the relationship between the Yuan family and Dong Zhuo?
The courtiers gathered in a group and chatted, making Wang Yun move forward involuntarily.
He was so frustrated that he had to find a chance to talk about it.
As soon as I walked up to them, I heard someone say, "The traitor Wang Yun has become a disciple. I'm afraid the Yuan family will be completely stronger this time."
Wang Yun was almost furious after hearing this. Veins popped out on his neck and he shouted hoarsely, "I'm not a traitor!"
The person who scolded Wang Yun did not expect that Wang Yun would dare to come over, and was a little embarrassed for a moment.
However, he reacted quickly and immediately snorted, "Hans and thieves are not at odds with each other. I don't bother to talk to you anymore."
He turned around and left immediately.
After scolding someone, I logged off, feeling very sour.
The others followed suit and turned their backs to Wang Yun one by one, making Wang Yun extremely embarrassed.
Wang Yun's situation was like this, and Yuan Wei and Yuan Ji were even more unpopular.
Yuan Wei had no master, but Yuan Ji was extremely decisive.
"Uncle, we can't hesitate. We should tell those two guys Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu what happened here immediately."
Although the figure on the Yuan family's stage is Yuan Wei, the ones who can really do things are undoubtedly Yuan Shao, who has great influence on the younger generation, and Yuan Shu, who has a decisive personality.
As the young men of the Yuan family and the executors of the Yuan family's will, the ideas of these two people are very crucial.
Yuan Wei had been in the court for many years, and was related to the eunuch Yuan She, and had considerable influence in the Han palace.
He managed to contact a military attache with whom he had a good relationship and asked him to send a message to Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu.
The military attaché couldn't show off his feelings, and he thought that Dong Zhuo's order was only to prevent people from leaving, but not to cut off their interrogation.
After all, these people are ministers of the imperial court, so it is not an exaggeration to help them.
The military attache took Yuan Wei's letter and as soon as he left the palace gate, he was stopped by the smiling Niu Fu.
Afterwards, the person was brought to Yu Xian.
The military attaché was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat on the way.
When he saw Yu Xian, he quickly and obediently told Yuan Wei's letter and the words he had given him.
Yu Xian laughed after hearing this,
He was not surprised that Yuan Wei had such a reaction.
In history, even when Dong Zhuo was at his most powerful, the Yuan family maintained their strong influence.
Yuan Wei and Yuan Ji played an important role in the court, while Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu commanded the heroes outside and called for the wind and rain.
The situation is now critical, and it is time for Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu to flee and threaten the court with force.
Yu Xian thought for a while, picked out one of the two letters on the table, and said to the military attache, "Go and deliver the letter from Yuan Shao. As for Yuan Shu, you don't have to worry about it."
The military attache was sweating profusely and kowtowed repeatedly, "I don't care about my humble position."
Yu Xian frowned, "Go and see you off if I ask you to. How come Yuan Wei can summon you, but I can't?"
The military attache did not dare to say anything more, and he got up obediently and took the letter handed over by Li Ru.
Li Ru looked at the military attache and said coldly, "You should know how to reply to Yuan Wei, right?"
The military attache nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, "I understand, I just said that both letters have been delivered."
Li Ru nodded with satisfaction and let him leave.
Li Ru turned around and saw Yu Xian thinking about something on the letter on the table. He took the initiative and said, "En Xiang, Yuan Shu's side..."
Yu Xian snorted coldly. Yuan Shu, a man who failed to succeed but failed more than failed, was the best prey.
"After Yuan Shao escapes from Luoyang City, you immediately seal the city gate and no one is allowed in or out. Then have someone deliver this letter to Yuan Shu."
Li Ru quickly responded after hearing this.
Yu Xian thought for a while and added sinisterly, "It would be best to find someone to send a message to Yuan Shu, saying that Yuan Benchu is beyond words and is not worthy of being a minister."
The person Yuan Shu looked down upon the most in his life was Yuan Shao.
Because although Yuan Shao is Yuan Shu's biological brother, he is the son of a concubine. In Yuan Shu's words, he was the son of a despicable woman.
As the legitimate son of the Yuan family in Runan, Yuan Shu has such a noble bloodline. How could he have a brother like Yuan Shao?
It's a pity that God wants to succeed Yuan Shao.
Not long after, Yuan Shao's uncle Yuan Cheng died.
Yuan Cheng has no sons.
For a family as big as the Yuan family in Runan, it is naturally impossible for the eldest son of the Yuan family to die.
According to common sense, a younger brother should be adopted from Yuan Cheng's closest bloodline to act as his son.
After searching around, it turned out that the other legitimate sons of the Yuan family were not rich, so Yuan Feng's concubine Yuan Shao fell into everyone's sight.
Yuan Shaosheng was handsome and mighty, and he was very up to date. Everyone in the Yuan family was very satisfied. So Yuan Shao passed from Yuan Feng to his uncle Yuan Cheng.
As a result, Yuan Shao's identity has undergone earth-shaking changes.
From a concubine who was only slightly better than a domestic slave, he became the eldest grandson of the Yuan family in Runan, a prestigious family in the world!
Even Yuan Shu, Yuan Feng's direct son, had a much lower status than Yuan Shao.
This made Yuan Shu extremely jealous.
On weekdays, Yuan Shu often openly laughed at Yuan Shao's humble background.
Yuan Shao also understood that Yuan Shu was the direct descendant of the Yuan family, so he could only tolerate it on weekdays.
As the saying goes, if you don't say anything about peaches and plums, you will create your own trouble.
Yuan Shao has always been heroic and heroic, and he has the status of the eldest grandson of the Yuan family in Runan. This makes the disciples and former officials of the Yuan family regard Yuan Shao as the flagpole of the Yuan family, and instead regard Yuan Shu, the serious son of the Yuan family, as soy sauce.
How could Yuan Shu be reconciled to this?
Therefore, although Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao are half-brothers, their relationship is like that of enemies.
After Yuan Shao successfully escapes from Luoyang and travels abroad, if Dong Zhuo lets people know that Yuan Shao is a noble person, Yuan Shu, who is trapped in Luoyang City, will inevitably go berserk because he cannot accept it.
For a man who dared to burn down the imperial city and bring troops into the palace.
There is nothing he dare not do.
Yuan Shu was Yu Xian's fulcrum to leverage the Yuan family.
