Chapter 169 Yuan Shu: I have had the feeling recently that destiny has come to me.
Yang Biao has always paid close attention to Xi Yu.
He knew that although Cao Cao and Na Xiyu were close to each other now, there had never been any ties of relationship between them.
Benefits will make people's minds begin to change.
Cao Cao will change, and Xiyu may also change.
If the relationship between the two can be provoked, it will naturally be the best thing for the emperor and them.
What's more, Xi Yu's ability is known to the world.
If the emperor could really get him to stand on his side, I think Cao Cao would definitely have some scruples.
By then, the situation will have changed somewhat.
Yang Biao watched the play and admired him, but he was not like Cao Cao, Dong Zhuo, and Yuan Shao.
Even if Xiyu is in charge of the court in the future, he will not be like Cao Cao.
"Xiyu!"
After hearing the candidates recommended by Yang Biao, Liu Xie couldn't help but frown.
When he first went to Yanzhou, he did so in the name of a relative of Xiyu.
Even after entering Xuchang, Liu Xie tried again and again to build a relationship between himself and Xi Yu.
Even now, he has never denied the relative's name.
only.
He approached Xi Yu again and again, but he could clearly feel the resistance and disgust coming from the other party.
This kind of situation only happens once or twice!
This happens every time, how can Liu Xie endure it?
He is the emperor, no matter how you say it, he is just his minister.
How could he endure these repeated indifferences.
After Liu Bei appeared later, Liu Xie thought that he still had loyal ministers he could rely on.
It's a pity that he placed his hope in Liu Bei, but Liu Bei couldn't use his ability.
Now that he heard Yang Biao mention Xi Yu again, Liu Xie couldn't help but frown.
He naturally highly respected Xi Yu's ability.
But the other party seemed to be wearing the same pants as Cao Cao.
Will he stand on his side?
He was afraid that he wouldn't even be able to hide from himself!
Liu Xie smiled bitterly and raised his eyes to look at Yang Biao in front of him: "Lieutenant, I don't want Na Xi Fengyi to get closer to me, but he..."
"But you should know his attitude towards me!"
Although Xi Yu was respectful to him on the surface, his alienation could be seen by anyone with a discerning eye.
The other party serves as a royal censor and holds the position of chief agricultural officer. Nowadays, he only appears very rarely during every court meeting.
Every time it feels like something unprecedented.
Even when attending court, there were few substantive suggestions.
How can he win over!
"Your Majesty, now that the old minister is idle at home, and the post of Taiwei above the court is vacant, that Xiyu now has merit again, and the court has never awarded him a reward!"
"However, Cao Cao obviously seems to have forgotten this matter!"
"I guess he is also afraid of Xi Yu!"
"This time, I advise you that if your Majesty gives Xi Yu the title of Taiwei, then in this court, Cao Cao will be Sikong and Xi Yu will be the Taiwei!"
"The positions are equivalent. Even if the two can stand together at the beginning, as time goes by, there will be resentment between the two!"
Even if there won't be any rift between the two of them, there will eventually be rifts between the people below them.
Some things, after reaching a certain status, many things cannot be decided by one person!
No matter what happened to Cao Cao and Xi Yu.
When that time comes, the people behind them will inevitably push them to confront each other.
This is what happened in the court.
Just like him and Yuan Wei, who was also the fourth generation and the third prince.
There is no gap between them, but they are the same four generations and three princes, but the people standing behind them are different.
And the world will push the two of them to stand on opposite sides.
This is how the world works.
"Is this method possible, Mr. Yang?"
After Liu Xie heard Dao's suggestion, he became obviously more interested.
"Your Majesty may speak at the court meeting someday, but Cao Cao will never refuse directly. Even if he doesn't want to, he will follow suit."
"Of course, if Cao Cao refuses directly, what should Xi Fengyi think?"
"This method is beneficial to Your Majesty no matter what!"
Yang Biao chuckled.
Even if you can't return to the court, so what?
What was his purpose in returning to the court? It was for the sake of the Han Dynasty and for the Yang family to continue to flourish.
He has been a Taiwei in his life and has reached the pinnacle of the Han Dynasty's human ministers.
Yang Biao no longer has much pursuit of official positions.
Nowadays, although my son is under Cao Cao's command, sometimes his views are still too shallow.
If Cao Cao really changed the world!
What should the Yang family do?
Neither Cao Cao nor the people behind Cao Cao will let the Yang family return to its former glory.
Where will the Yang family's way out then?
I'm afraid I don't know how many more years to go, and with the passage of time, I will disappear from the world.
However, if this time can restore the power of the Han Dynasty.
The emperor will naturally not forget Yang Biao's contribution.
With the blessings of the Four Generations and Three Dukes, the Yang family will definitely be the same as before in the future, sharing weal and woe with the Han Dynasty.
The difference between the two is too obvious.
Even if it is difficult, why not give it a try?
"Although this method works, even if there is a gap between Xi Yu and Cao Cao, how can I guarantee that Xi Yu will get closer to me?"
Liu Xie was still a little worried.
At this time, Yang Biao raised his head and glanced at Liu Xie.
There is actually a simpler way.
However, this matter seems a bit difficult for Liu Xie.
Nowadays, it is rumored all over the world that Xi Fengyi is a romantic person who is very beautiful.
However, during the years of war, there are already very few royal princesses.
Now His Majesty is too young and does not have a legitimate princess.
The matter of marriage between Xi and Fengyi is a bit difficult.
However, I heard that Dong Cheng and others discovered the former young emperor's queen some time ago and have now taken her back.
if……
Yang Biao shook his head, he couldn't talk about this matter!
What’s more, we haven’t reached that stage yet!
"What can Mr. Yang do?"
Liu Xie saw Yang Biao lowering his head and thinking, and couldn't help but ask.
Yang Biao raised his head and looked at the clear and bright eyes in front of him.
He bit his teeth.
"Your Majesty, that Xiyu loves beautiful women!"
If he could remind him, he could only remind him to this point.
The rest is up to Liu Xie to think about.
Yang Biao didn't say anything else, and the two of them discussed how to reward Xi Yu at the next court meeting.
When midnight was approaching, Yang Biao hurriedly resigned.
After all, he is a foreign minister. Even if His Majesty doesn't mind, staying overnight in the palace is taboo after all.
"Your Majesty, it's late at night, so I'll take my leave first. Please ask your Majesty to let the palace guards take me out of the palace!"
Yang Biao spoke, and Liu Xie nodded.
"Okay, please go ahead!"
After sending Yang Biao out of the palace, Liu Xie called to the attendants and asked the guards to escort Yang Biao all the way, and then he turned around and returned to the harem.
At this moment, Liu Xie's mind was echoing with Yang Biao's words.
Play Fengyi, what a beauty!
But where is he going to collect beauties to send to Xiyu?
The maids and others in the palace now were all donated by Cao Cao.
After Liu Xie returned to his dormitory with a dull head, he turned over and lay down on the bed. At this moment, the attendant outside the palace suddenly whispered a reminder to him.
"Your Majesty, the Queen has just cooked lotus seed soup for you and is waiting in the side hall now. Look!"
When the attendant spoke, Liu Xie raised his eyes and subconsciously looked towards the side hall.
"The Queen is here!"
Dezhi Fushou was waiting in the side hall, but Liu Xie did not hesitate, got up and took the lead and walked towards the side hall.
Entering the side hall, Liu Xie raised his eyes.
The lights flickered before my eyes.
In front of the table and stool, Fu Shou was drooping his eyelids with a hint of sleepiness on his face.
There is a bowl of lotus seed soup on the table.
Liu Xie walked over with his feet raised, his steps neither light nor heavy.
At this moment Fu Shou heard the sound and subconsciously raised his head and looked at Liu Xie.
"Your Majesty is here!"
"Concubine, I just made lotus seed soup. Your Majesty..."
Fu Shou touched the jade porcelain bowl in front of him, and it felt a little cold!
She was about to ask someone to help warm it up, but Liu Xie beside her had already picked up the bowl with skill.
"Your Majesty is cold, please let me warm you up!"
"It's okay, it's just cool!"
Liu Xie opened his mouth without hesitation, put the bowl to his mouth, and swallowed in one gulp.
When I put the bowl down, it was completely empty.
At this moment, Liu Xie looked at Fu Shou and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Queen. Go back and rest early!"
He looked towards Fu Shou, and the girl in front of him was bright and moving.
It's just that Liu Xie didn't have the slightest interest this time.
For him, the world of the Han Dynasty was the most important thing.
Nowadays, he spends his time every day on those official documents, although most of these things will be handed over to Cao Cao for processing.
But this does not prevent Liu Xie from being a channel for him to understand the outside world.
Perhaps Cao Cao would be happy if he fell into the trap of sensuality.
However, he wanted the Han Dynasty to return to its former strength, so how could he be trapped in sensuality now?
"Your Majesty, please rest early!"
Fu Shou raised his eyes and glanced at Liu Xie. Without saying anything, he turned around and took the maid out of the side hall.
The lights in the hall are a little dim.
Liu Xie turned his head and stared at Fu Shou's leaving figure. At this moment, he couldn't help but hear what Yang Biao had just said in his mind.
Xiyu, what a beauty!
And his queen is not the most beautiful in the world!
At this moment, Liu Xie stared at Fu Shou's figure and couldn't help but shiver all over.
no!
Liu Xie, why do you think so?
Even if you want to win over Naxi Fengyi, you can't give away your queen!
Why not!
For the sake of the Han Dynasty, what's the harm in having a woman?
When Emperor Gaozu founded the world, he also abandoned Empress Lu, so what difference does it make!
If you want to achieve an imperial career, if you can't even let go of a woman, how can you talk about the world?
If only we could revive the great Han Dynasty!
By then, the world will only praise you as a warrior, and no one will care about a woman!
In my mind, two thoughts suddenly appeared.
Liu Xie's figure was swaying, and the attendants at the side quickly stepped forward to support him.
"His Majesty!"
"I'm fine, just help me rest!"
…
It was night and Liu Xie had trouble falling asleep.
At the same time, Yuan Shu, who was far away in Huainan, also had difficulty falling asleep.
Ever since Sun Ce limited the Jade Seal to him, Yuan Shu would hold the Jade Seal in his arms whenever he slept.
An idea became more and more popular in my mind.
Destiny is mine!
Now, the fate of the great Han Dynasty is at stake, and the prophecy that has been passed down for hundreds of years once again resounds in Yuan Shu's mind.
Those who represent the Han Dynasty should be Tu Gaoye!
No matter how you think about it now, this so-called successor to the Han Dynasty refers to Yuan Gongdao!
After obtaining the Imperial Seal, Yuan Shu's performance in recent times has been too obvious.
Even his subordinates had discovered that something was wrong with Yuan Shu.
It's the day.
Yuan Shu was sitting quietly in his mansion. Suddenly, the Taoist priest Zhang Jiong presented him with a talisman. When he got the talisman, Yuan Shu's mind felt like it was exploding.
First, the jade seal of the country was passed on, and at this time, someone also dedicated the talisman.
Coupled with the prophecy that has been circulating for many years.
Everything seemed to tell him that it was time to replace the big man.
Yuan Shu was in a good mood and rewarded Zhang Jiong for his contribution to the talisman. The latter was overjoyed.
The next day.
Yuan Shu reunited his advisers and generals after a long absence.
"Everyone, please feel free to speak frankly about how you view the Han Dynasty today!"
Yuan Shu opened his mouth. The ministers below looked at me and I looked at you.
Most of them don't understand why Yuan Shu suddenly asked about this matter.
However, how do we view today’s Han Dynasty?
This is too obvious.
"My Lord, today's Han Dynasty is just like the Zhou Dynasty in the Pre-Qin and Warring States Period!"
Someone said it, and it was true.
Nowadays, there are many princes, just like the pre-Qin period.
The Zhou royal family is not much different from the Han court.
However, there are some things that cannot be said directly. After all, they are still nominally affiliated with Dahan.
Hearing this, Yuan Shu nodded subconsciously.
It seems that most people agree with him. Now, this big man's destiny has tilted.
Just like the destiny of the Zhou Dynasty was tilted back then.
Perhaps he can also inherit the destiny of the Zhou royal family and the destiny of the Han Dynasty like the Qin Kingdom.
At this moment, Yuan Shu almost asked whether he was the same as the Qin State back then.
After thinking about it, Yuan Shu was not in a hurry to continue mentioning this.
Gathering a group of people today is just a test.
Immediately afterwards, Yuan Shu thought of Lu Bu's reply to the letter a few days ago and spoke again: "This time I have formed an alliance with Lu Bu!"
"I heard that Lu Bu has a daughter. I want them to be in-laws and marry Lu Bu's daughter for me that time!"
Yuan Shu opened his mouth, and all his subordinates didn't have much opinion after hearing this.
After all, Yuan Shu has already decided to form an alliance with Lu Bu.
Although Yan Xiang under his command wanted to give some advice, Yuan Shu had already made up his mind this time, and even mentioning the in-laws was like blocking his mouth.
If they get married, the alliance between Yuan Shu and Lu Bu will at least be more stable than those who were allied with Lu Bu before!
"I wrote to Lu Bu before, and he has no objections to this matter!"
When the matter came to this point, Yuan Shu did not say anything more.
On that day, after all his subordinates left, Yuan Shu secretly summoned a few of his confidants into the mansion.
"Yong Yi, I have called you here this time because you are all my confidants!"
"I have something to ask you now, and you can speak frankly!"
After summoning Ji Ling and others into the mansion, Yuan Shu led everyone into the back hall and started talking directly.
Hearing this, Ji Ling and the others quickly bowed their heads: "I don't know what my lord is asking. If I need to serve you, I am willing to die in the service of my lord!"
Hearing Ji Ling speak, Yuan Shu patted the other party's shoulder eagerly.
"That's not the case!"
"To be honest with you, I recently obtained two treasures, and I feel that destiny has been given to me recently! I want to stand on behalf of the Han Dynasty!"
Yuan Shu opened his mouth and was shocked!
All the confidants nearby could not help but feel a little dazed!
They originally thought that Yuan Shu summoned them to discuss some important matter, but they did not expect that it would be such a big deal.
Yuan Shu wants to replace the Han!
This is simply telling them that I am going to rebel, will you follow me?
At this moment, several people looked at each other.
They were Yuan Shu's confidants, and some of them had followed Yuan Shu when he was the commander of Huben in Luoyang.
Now that Yuan Shu wants to replace the Han Dynasty, they naturally have no other choice.
"We are willing to die in the service of our lord!"
As Ji Ling spoke, all Yuan Shu's confidants nearby agreed.
They had no choice but to follow Yuan Shu. Even if Yuan Shu chose an unexpected path, they had no other choice.
What's more, the Han Dynasty is indeed in extreme danger now.
The current power of the Yuan family is unmatched by other princes.
If Yuan Shu could really reach the top, wouldn't they be the same people as Fan Kuai and others who were beside Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty?
One glory and all glory.
"Okay! Okay! Okay!"
Yuan Shu was overjoyed when he saw all his subordinates expressing their stance.
Then he kindly pulled several people up one by one, and then began to discuss how to stand on behalf of the Han Dynasty.
At this time, everyone heard that Yuan Shu had obtained the jade seal passed down to the country, and some people had offered talismans. In addition, Yuan Shu explained the long-circulated prophecy in front of them.
Everyone, including Ji Ling, started to get excited.
"I want to choose a day to proclaim myself emperor, what do you think?"
Yuan Shu spoke, feeling extremely excited.
At this time, everyone was extremely excited when they heard what Yuan Shu said.
After all, once Yuan Shao becomes emperor, their positions will rise accordingly.
At this time, the boss next to him, Bo Li Feng, was quite calm.
He did not object to Yuan Shu replacing the Han Dynasty, and he did not even have the slightest objection to Yuan Shu becoming emperor.
But considering Yuan Shu's current power, proclaiming himself emperor is actually too reluctant.
"My lord, this time I have to ask for three invitations and three rejections to become emperor!"
"Secondly, the current situation in the world is turbulent. If I proclaim myself emperor this time, I am worried that my lord may become the target of public criticism."
"I have something to say, if my lord changes his title first, he will be able to proclaim himself emperor in the future!"
As soon as Li Feng opened his mouth, Yuan Shu frowned unconsciously.
But what the other party said was correct. At this time, all Yuan Shu's confidants also calmed down.
After all, Yuan Shu's power has not reached the point where he can blatantly replace the Han.
And Li Feng's meaning is also very clear.
You can proclaim yourself emperor, but you can't rush it. You have to do it step by step.
Let's change the title first, instead of rushing to call him emperor, let's see the reaction of the princes in the world.
