Three Kingdoms

The servant took the order and left. After a while, Yuan Shu came.

Yuan Wei motioned for Yuan Shu to sit down. He did not speak immediately, but looked at Yuan Shu while thinking.

It can be said that Yuan Shu is much more handsome than Yuan Shaolai, which is one of the reasons why Yuan Wei prefers Yuan Shu despite his bloodline.

Yuan Shao was the product of Yuan Feng's drunkenness and the singing girl at home. It was a by-product of drunken sex. He had not been taken seriously since he was a child. He was naturally a bit stout due to exposure to wind and sun. Unlike Yuan Shu, who had been pampered since he was a child. , the finely crafted ones naturally become more different as they grow older.

Moreover, Yuan Shao's mother was just a singer. Naturally, Yuan Shao had to learn the etiquette by himself, but Yuan Shu was different. From the age of three, he had a special etiquette officer responsible for guiding him. Every move must comply with the standards. As time went by, Yuan Shu's His speech and behavior became more and more like a noble family, and Yuan Shao's behavior was often criticized and said to be rude.

This is also the reason why Yuan Shao later only made friends with some heroes in the market, but Yuan Shu often talked with the children of the aristocratic family about the past and the present.

Yuan Wei looked at Yuan Shu, who looked exactly like his brother Yuan Feng, and his young and slightly arrogant face. Although he felt a little reluctant to give up, he finally made up his mind. He would be great at home, but without experience How can wind and rain grow into towering trees?

Yuan Wei said: "Do you know about your brother today?" - Do you know about Yuan Shao's resignation?

Yuan Shu nodded and said: "It's already known." In fact, Yuan Shu was not worried but a little bit happy when he found out that Yuan Shao ran away. What bothered him most since he was a child was that others always compared him with his brother Yuan Shao. One was the legitimate son and the other was. Bastard, is there any comparison?

Yuan Wei said: "The imperial court now worships your brother as the governor of Bohai."

Although Bohai is not a large county, it is still a large county. The prefect of a large county is a high-ranking official worth a thousand shi. And more importantly, the prefect has control over the civil and military affairs of the place under his jurisdiction, and can freely appoint officials under him. , such as the prefect's chief secretary, etc., the court will usually agree to it, and rarely reject the idea of ​​sending another person.

Therefore, with the official position of Bohai Governor, Yuan Shao officially has a piece of territory of his own. As for the future development, that is a matter of the future.

Yuan Shu obviously knew very well about the official position of the prefect, so he seemed incredulous when Yuan Wei said, "Why is this so?" - What is this thing called? Not only was he not held accountable for resigning, but he was also banned from a bigger official position! If I had known that such a good thing would happen, I would have resigned!

"This is the plan of the Dong family." Yuan Wei looked at Yuan Shu and explained a little, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. This is the burden that the Yuan family, standing at the top of the gentry, must bear - the Yuan family has deep roots and luxuriant leaves. Naturally, it is a big tree that attracts the wind. Over the years , those who want to take advantage of the Yuan family's limelight, those who want to gain authority from the Yuan family, and those who want to win over and suppress them. Yuan Wei had experienced this situation countless times, and he was calm about all situations, but the Yuan Shu in front of him did seem to be a bit immature.

"How many armors can you use now?" Yuan Wei asked.

Although Yuan Shu was not a military attache of the imperial court, he came from a noble family. It was a well-known practice to keep some soldiers and armor in private. As long as the number was not too high, basically no one would care about it.

"The soldiers are in a group." Although he didn't know what Yuan Wei meant, Yuan Shu still answered honestly. The military system of the Han Dynasty consisted of two villages in a song, two teams in a village, and ten troops in a team, each with its own strengths, so Yuan Shu had almost a hundred private soldiers under his command.

Yuan Wei nodded, this was almost what he understood. Yuan Wei took out a ring pendant from his side, handed it to Yuan Shu, and said: "With this token, you can go to the right army in Xiyuan to find the commander Zhang Xiao, and he will listen to your orders."

Then Yuan Wei lowered his voice and said: "The Dong family wants to depose the emperor, and most likely he will put the deposed emperor in the Nangong. You can look for an opportunity to cause trouble!"

"What! Jie... Jie Emperor?!" Yuan Shu was shocked.

"Calm down and calm down!" Yuan Wei reminded, isn't it just robbing an emperor? Moreover, he is still a deposed emperor. Is it worthy of being so rude?

Yuan Shu took a few deep breaths to calm down his agitated mind - Uncle, you are speaking lightly. Talking about robbing the emperor is like drinking tea and chatting. He was the emperor. Although he was deposed, the whole Han Dynasty Just this one baby, okay?

But why do we, the Yuan family, take risks? Or should I, Yuan Shu, take this risk?

Yuan Wei looked directly at Yuan Shu and asked: "If the Dong family wants to take charge of the government, they will definitely target my Yuan family. This place seems stable, but it is not. And if your brother comes with troops during the holidays, what should you do? Don't you hear about Chong'er's old story? Huh?" - Luoyang City looks stable. In fact, in order to dominate the government, Dong Zhuo must confront the Yuan family, so it is safer to leave Luoyang. Moreover, Yuan Shao is now the prefect and has the right to lead troops. If one day he Like Dong Zhuo, who came here with his troops, can you, Yuan Shu, still keep your position?

Yuan Wei asked another question as if he didn't want to do it: "If the emperor is deposed, what will your brother benefit from?" - Yuan Shao resigned and refused to work. If the emperor is really deposed, what benefits will he get from it?

Yuan Shu thought for a while and then said tentatively: "Human hope?"

Yuan Wei stroked his beard and nodded, "Exactly. Therefore, you, the emperor, need to know that you can succeed or fail." - You don't have to succeed in doing this, and it doesn't matter if you fail. What matters is whether you can understand it.

Yuan Shu listened thoughtfully.

Yuan Weiyuan stretched out his hand and made some gestures on the table, indicating to Yuan Shu: "This is the second palace of the north and south..."

Seeing Yuan Shu nodding, Yuan Wei continued: "If the emperor is deposed, he will most likely live in the palaces on both sides of Yongxiang..." - After all, he is a deposed emperor. Of course, he cannot be released to run around the world. The best way is to enter the cold palace. Good choice.

Yuan Wei drew a larger frame on the table to represent the city wall, and said: "Your private soldiers can hide at the south gate, prepare more chariots and horses, and take advantage of the chaos to seize them. You can lead Zhang Xiao's soldiers and pass through the palace." , go straight out of the south gate..." Yuan Wei drew a line to connect the Nangong and the South City Gate.

After all, Nangong is closest to the South Gate and has the shortest distance, so the risk is relatively small.

Yuan Wei saw Yuan Shu lowering his head and thinking, and then added, "You can ask Cao Ahao to discuss this matter together."

Cao Ah Ma, Cao Cao, why are you looking for him? Isn't it better that the fewer people know about this kind of thing?

"Cao A'hao, there must be someone from the past in the palace." Yuan Wei said, and then added, "You can let him be the master."

Seeing Yuan Shu's look of enlightenment, Yuan Wei finally added, "Shu'er, you must remember that whenever you act, you must leave a way out, and Cao A'ao is also a way out... You can go and think about it carefully, and we will discuss it tomorrow. .”

Yuan Shu then resigned, and before he left, he asked: "Where can I go after this?" - Regardless of success or not, I definitely can't stay in Luoyang City, so where should I go?

"You can go to Nanyang."
