Yuan Tan was so moved that he sent Shi Sun Rui out of the door. He watched Shi Sun Rui turn over and gallop away under the clutches of several knights. He was envious and felt ashamed.
Shi Sun Rui is nearly fifty years old and can still ride a horse.
In contrast, I am just young and strong, but I cannot be so heroic.
He had no doubt that if he and Shi Sun Rui had a match, he would have lost.
Back in the courtyard, Xun Chen flashed out from the side.
"how?"
Yuan Tan's general Sun Rui just said again.
After hearing this, Xun Chen let out a long sigh, stroking his hands and smiling, "With his words, this matter can finally be resolved."
Yuan Tan hesitated a little.
Shi Sun Rui had soldiers in his hands, and the emperor expected the next candidate for the Grand Marshal. He must speak more than his aunt Mrs. Yuan. If nothing unexpected happens, the emperor will give him such face.
But Shi Sun Rui did not have any requests. The letter of apology was made by Shi Sun Rui.
This apology was not for him, but for Yuan Shao. However, Yuan Shao was seriously ill and could not see him or write him personally, so he could only write a letter on behalf of his father.
Seeing that Yuan Tan's expression was not depressed, Xun Chen asked in confusion: "What are you worried about?"
"I'm afraid it's not what my father wants."
Xun Chen smiled, raised his hand, and waved it lightly. "Ling Zun is seriously ill and cannot say anything. If you are worried, go and ask your aunt what she means."
Yuan Tan blinked.
Yuan Shao's illness was indeed very serious, but he was not as good as not being able to speak. He could hear clearly what Su Sun Rui said just now, but he had no response and could only pretend not to hear it. Wait for him later
When you go in, Yuan Shao will definitely ask.
But Xun Chen asked him to ask his aunt Mrs. Yuan directly, obviously thinking that Yuan Shao was a dead person.
Is this... OK?
Yuan Tan was still hesitant, but Xun Chen didn't want to say much and pushed Yuan Tan away directly.
Yuan Tan had no choice but to go out and go to the courtyard where Mrs. Yuan lived.
Xun Chen entered the atrium and came to Yuan Shao's sickbed. Guo Tu had already arrived.
Yuan Shao also woke up, his face turned red, his eyes were red, and he was panting like a cow.
But Guo Tu looked at him with pity.
Seeing Xun Chen coming in, Yuan Shao forced himself to sit up and opened his mouth to speak, but Guo Tu pressed him back and tucked the quilt considerately.
"Originally, it is important to be at ease to recover from illness. If you are friends, let's go out and talk."
Xun Chen, who had just stepped into the door, immediately took back his feet, responded, and went out with Guo Tu.
Yuan Shao's angry roar came from behind, but Guo Tu and Xun Chen turned a deaf ear. The two maids hurried into the door and went to serve Yuan Shao.
Feng Ji also rushed over and saw the scene, immediately stopped and stayed in front of Guo Tu.
Guo Tu's soldier Sun Rui came to see Yuan Shao and said roughly, "Youruo, Yuan Tu, this may be the last chance, and you must not miss it."
Feng Ji, Xun Chen nodded at the same time.
Yuan Shao had few days and could not let him make trouble anymore, which not only destroyed Yuan Tan, but also destroyed their family.
"How should I write this apology? " Xun Chen tentatively said.
Shi Sun Rui asked Yuan Tan to write a letter on behalf of his father, but Yuan Tan could not write it himself, and this matter would eventually fall on their shoulders.
Guo Tu sighed: "It's a pity that Chen Kongzhang is not here, otherwise he will be the most suitable candidate. Let's write this way. Anyway, I'm old and it's time to retire to the countryside. It's better not to have this old face."
Xun Chen felt relieved when he met the script and smiled knowingly.
——
Shi Sun Rui rushed to the Imperial Camp and reported to Liu Xie about his experience of meeting Yuan Shao.
He was holding a document in his hand, which was Yuan Shao's apology memorial that Yuan Tan asked him to transfer.
This apology is written in depth and comprehensively. It starts from the time Yuan Shao becomes famous when he is young, and has been written until Yuan Shao's capture, and now his reflections are reflected thousands of words.
These days, the articles are concise, and a book is only tens of thousands of words.
To put it seriously, the detailed level of this apology can be regarded as Yuan Shao's biography.
Of course, Yuan Shao was beaten to death and refused to treat it as a biography.
According to the point of view of this article, Yuan Shao was simply a natural hypocrite. He had been accustomed to fraud and seeking fame since he was a child, and had different opinions and was a model of hypocrisy for famous scholars in the late Han Dynasty.
Although there is no word "betrayal" in this apology, it is full of betrayal.
Betrayal of the family, betrayal of the court, betrayal of the Confucian family.
Contemporary Wang Mang is undoubtedly.
Liu Xie read it three times, and finally put it gently on the table, sighing.
"A bird is about to die, and its singing is sad. A man is about to die, and his words are good. Although Yuan Shao is confused, the courage to reflect on himself is really touching."
Shi Sunrui had a tense face and nodded seriously to agree.
How could he not hear the emperor's ridicule?
With the wisdom of the emperor, he naturally knew that this was not Yuan Shao's original intention. If Yuan Shao had admitted his mistake, he would have admitted his mistake long ago. Why did he remain stalemate until now? But he was willing to accept this apology.
No matter what Yuan Shao thought, the people around Yuan Shao had completely surrendered.
Including Mrs. Yuan.
Without Mrs. Yuan’s acquiescence, Yuan Tan did not dare to submit this apology.
Liu Xie tapped the desk with his fingers a few times. After a while, he raised his head, looked at Shi Sunrui, and smiled slightly. "I have an idea, I don't know if it is feasible, so I would like to ask Mr. Shi Sun to give advice."
Shi Sun Rui felt nervous and bowed and said, "How dare I? Please tell me your Majesty bluntly."
"This is a good article that will be passed down to future generations. Therefore, I plan to print the world first so that everyone in the world knows the original intention of self-reflection."
Shi Sun Rui's face changed immediately.
He knew that the emperor would not let Yuan Shao go easily, but he did not expect that the emperor would come up with such an idea.
This is to make Yuan Shao infamous for thousands of years.
"Your Majesty thinks it's not suitable?" Liu Xie said, and inadvertently glanced at Shangshu who was holding a quick pen.
Shi Sunrui felt a toothache.
Regardless of whether he agrees or not, since this article has been in the hands of the emperor, it is impossible to take it back. Even if it is taken back, a record will be left in the "Daily Notes".
"It's right..." Shi Sun Rui almost squeezed out two words from his teeth.
If Yuan Shao was sacrificed alone, it would be worth it to save the Yuan Tan brothers, Guo Tu, Xun Chen and others. Except for Yuan Shao, no one would object.
As for Yuan Shao himself, it is no longer important.
"Where is he going back?"
"Of course I'm going back to Ruyang, but..."
"Yuan Gaolu disagrees?"
"There is this possibility." Shi Sun Rui looked at Liu Xie with complicated eyes.
The so-called Yuan Shu disagrees, but in fact, the emperor disagrees. Yuan Shu's fierce ghost is just a puppet in the hands of the emperor. As long as the emperor issues an edict, he will definitely do it.
"I'll persuade you, maybe it's useful." Liu Xie sighed: "A clan of Yuan's family cannot avoid a few unfilial descendants. It's not scary to make mistakes. Just make a mistake, as long as you can change it, even if you are a negative example for future generations, descendants.
Typical is worth it.”
The more Shi Sun Rui listened, the more uneasy he became.
Judging from what the emperor said, this apology is not the end, but just the beginning.
"Your Majesty..." Shi Sun Rui looked at Liu Xie almost begged. "The Yuan family of Runan was a famous family of four generations and three dukes. The ancestors of all ages were loyal and sincere to the Han Dynasty. Yuan became the court and spared no effort to fight against Liang Yi without hesitation.
, we must be confined to make people in the world know the court's benevolence to treat ministers well. All the crimes and responsibilities should be limited to Yuan Shao alone, and it is not advisable to implicate the clan."
Liu Xie nodded. "Yes, Yuan Shao is indeed not suitable to accept Yuan Cheng's success. It is best to choose another person..."
Shi Sun Rui was startled and said quickly: "Your Majesty, there are not many people in Yuan's family. Although Yuan Shao is not a good person, Yuan Tan is still a master. Let him inherit Yuan Cheng's door."
Liu Xie smiled. "That's it?"
"That's it, that's it." Shi Sun Rui wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and did not dare to say another word.
