Chapter 41 Liu Hong is furious, Yuan Kai pretends to be crazy
"How could Ziqian be imprisoned?" After many days, Huangfusong had received news from Lu Zhi. He could not understand why the emperor made such a decision. It must be another villain who was stirring up trouble.
Fu Xie also couldn't believe it when he heard this. Lu Zhi fought against the main force of the rebels in the Jizhou area. It can be said that he made great achievements, so how could he be imprisoned?
Liu Jing also heard it, but like a mirror in his heart, he already knew the result.
"It must be those treacherous villains again who are stirring up trouble!" Fu Xie was furious, clenching his hands into fists and slamming the table.
"I guess that's the case. Not long ago, the supervisory army came to visit, and presumably the supervisory army also visited Mr. Lu. He probably didn't take good care of the supervisory army. After returning to Luoyang, he framed Mr. Lu." Liu Jing analyzed.
Huangfu Song and Fu Xie also nodded. At that time, they knew that the supervisor's visit was not a good thing, so they all stayed behind closed doors to avoid getting angry. They relied on Liu Jing and Cao Cao to take care of everything.
Zhu Jun, who had already reached Wancheng, also received the news and was deeply saddened by Lu Zhi. Sun Jian and Qin Jie who joined him also shouted that the court was unfair and that treacherous ministers were taking advantage of power.
At this time, Luoyang was also uneasy. After Dong Zhuo escaped from Quyang City and was rescued by Liu Bei, he immediately reported the situation to Luoyang. By this time, it had been passed to Liu Hong.
"Where is Situ!" Liu Hongqiang said while suppressing his anger.
"Old minister here." Yuan Wei came out in response, and Liu Hong was the first to call him. It must be that Dong Zhuo's war in Jizhou has made progress, and if everything goes well, he, Yuan Wei, will naturally be better off.
Yuan Wei felt a little happy as he thought about it, but he didn't know that the development of things was completely contrary to what he thought.
"I remember that day you said that Dong Zhuo was brave in battle and had good plans. Is that correct?"
"Yes, the veteran indeed said so that day."
When Liu Hong asked this question, Yuan Wei felt that what he was thinking was more confirmed. The only thing that was a little wrong was that Liu Hong's tone seemed a little cold.
"Okay, okay! What a brave warrior with a good plan!" Liu Hong said these words almost through gritted teeth.
His Highness Yuan Wei felt more and more wrong. Could it be that Dong Zhuo had lost the battle?
"Take a good look at it!" Liu Hong threw the memorial in front of Yuan Wei, his chest rising and falling, obviously very angry!
Yuan Wei tremblingly picked up the memorial. When he saw clearly what was written in the memorial, his eyes widened and his whole figure suddenly lost its soul and he fell down.
"It's over...it's over..." He was still murmuring.
All the officials in your highness looked at it curiously, what could have caused the Yuan family and Yuan Wei to become like this.
"What do you think is written in this memorial?"
"I guess Dong Zhuo was defeated!"
"Hiss!" "No way?"
"Lu Shangshu went all the way to Julu, but Dong Zhuo was defeated as soon as he went into battle?"
There was endless discussion, and the contrast between the war in Jizhou and the war in Jizhou was too stark.
Lu Zhi has not lost in three months! Dong Zhuo was defeated in his first appearance!
Only Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong lowered their heads, fearing that others would see their wanton smiles.
This plan allowed the two of them to kill three birds with one stone! Not only did they overthrow Lu Zhi, but Dong Zhuo's defeat also dealt a heavy blow to the Yuan family. After the victory of the Yellow Turbans in Jizhou, Zhang Jiao also had a chance to breathe, and there was still a glimmer of hope for their great cause. !
"Quiet! I see that you are just like Dong Zhuo!"
All the officials shut up, and Liu Hong's words confirmed the news of Dong Zhuo's defeat.
Yuan Wei still held the memorial and sat down on His Highness, repeating the phrase "It's over... It's over...".
This image is very different from the high-spirited and high-spirited person he used to be.
"Yuan Wei, what else do you have to say!" Liu Hong glared at His Highness Yuan Wei.
However, Yuan Wei was unmoved and remained in the same image, as if he had not heard Liu Hong's speech.
"Yuan Wei!" Liu Hong shouted again.
But Yuan Wei still made no move.
"Your Majesty, could it be that Yuan Wei was stimulated and went crazy?" Zhang Rang whispered from the side.
"Hmph! It's embarrassing!" Liu Hong was extremely dissatisfied, but he had no choice but to say, "Yuan Wei will remove him from his post as Situ from today and send him back to the Yuan Mansion!"
Yuan Wei was dragged down. Some people in the court were happy and some were sad, but no one made any useful suggestions about Dong Zhuo's defeat.
The court meeting eventually broke up unhappy in this atmosphere.
As soon as He Jin returned to the General's Mansion, he saw Yuan Shao in the main room. As his staff, Yuan Shao was extremely motivated and spent most of his time in the General's Mansion every day.
"Yuan Shao, you have nothing to do today, you can go home."
Yuan Shao was a little surprised, why did he ask himself to go back?
"General, did Yuan Shao do something wrong?"
"No, it's just that your uncle Yuan Wei couldn't bear the blow in the court today and became mad. I'm giving you permission to go back." He Jin said calmly what happened in the court today.
Yuan Shao could no longer calm down after hearing this. The current leader of the Yuan family is Yuan Wei. If Yuan Wei really fails, who else can shoulder the burden of the Yuan family?
His uncle Yuan Cheng died young due to illness. His biological father Yuan Feng once worked as a Sikong, but his official career was not smooth and his influence has long been lost. Only Yuan Kui has served as a three-gong for a long time, and his wife is the daughter of Ma Rong, a famous scholar in the country.
.
Yuan Shao was anxious, so he said goodbye to He Jin immediately, got up and returned to Yuan Mansion, and finally found Yuan Wei in the backyard.
At this time, Yuan Wei didn't look crazy. He was pouring tea for himself leisurely, looking calm and natural.
"Uncle?" Yuan Shao was surprised. He Jin would definitely not make up a lie to deceive him, but Yuan Wei looked very normal. What's going on?
"Why are you back?" Yuan Wei asked, seeing Yuan Shao's anxious look, "He Jin must have told you something."
After asking, I thought that it was almost time for the court meeting to end, and I also figured out the key points.
"Uncle, it's not the rumor that you..." Yuan Shao stopped talking.
"Hahaha! It doesn't matter, the more they spread the word, the better! This time it was my uncle who didn't know who the person was, and it caused a big disaster! If I hadn't escaped from the shell with this crazy golden cicada, I'm afraid I would be in prison by now!" Yuan Wei stated
Even so, I still felt terrified in my heart.
He had foreseen Dong Zhuo's fate, and it was probably worse than Lu Zhi's. More than ten thousand elites were lost in one battle. Dong Zhuo couldn't bear this responsibility, and he, Yuan Wei, couldn't bear it!
"That's it." After Yuan Wei explained, Yuan Shao also understood, "But uncle, does it not bear the name of my Yuan family to act like this?"
After hearing Yuan Shao's words, Yuan Wei's face suddenly became serious, "Shao'er! Today I want to teach you something, don't value your face more than your life!"
Yuan Shao saw Yuan Wei become serious and stood aside respectfully to listen to his instructions.
"I am the fourth and third son of the Yuan family! Now that you and Shu'er are not yet mature, if I take my face into consideration and go to jail or even die, do you think the officials will still respect my Yuan family and follow my Yuan family as they do now?"
"This..." Yuan Shao was speechless. He actually already had the answer in his heart, that is, no!
It has been passed down from generation to generation in aristocratic families. If Yuan Wei and Yuan Shu have not yet ascended to high positions, if Yuan Wei dies, it is very likely that the Yuan family will disappear, and the power in the court will be divided up by others, and eventually they will fade out of people's sight.
It was precisely because of this that Yuan Shao became more determined to enter His Majesty's sight as soon as possible. In the end, it was his uncle who was struggling to support the huge Yuan family, and he even had to pretend to be crazy in front of all the officials.
"You are a smart boy, I think you already have the answer in your mind!" Yuan Wei knew Yuan Shao very well and had an insight into what he was thinking. He poured a cup of tea for Yuan Shao and pushed it over.
"You will stay in the mansion for the next few days, and then go to the General's Mansion. Remember to tell the truth about my loss of heart and madness as true as possible!"
"Yes! Uncle!"
Yuan Shao was the eldest son of the Yuan family. He was loved by Yuan Wei, Yuan Feng and others because of his extraordinary appearance and majestic temperament. He was more mature than his peers when he was young. He took office in Puyang at the age of twenty and gained a reputation as an honest and capable man.
Later, he made friends with many people and was praised by everyone.
As for Yuan Shu, the legitimate son of the Yuan family, although he is the legitimate son, he is not loved by everyone in the Yuan family. He did not like to study when he was young, and he only wanted to make trouble with various rangers. If it were not for the Yuan family's huge background, something would have happened long ago!
He often enjoys hunting and playing with others or getting drunk in restaurants.
At this moment, I don’t know which hunting ground or restaurant I am in.
After the news about Dong Zhuo spread in Luoyang, people from all walks of life also stepped up their time to spread the news to all directions.
Jizhou Guangzong City!
After Dong Zhuo's defeat, Zhang Jiao had received the message from Zhang Bao.
"Okay! This person is really brave! He used a secret plan to assassinate Chen Cang right under my nose!" Zhang Jiao sneered after hearing the news, and the atmosphere in the room couldn't help but become a bit scary.
Zhang Jiao became ill due to overwork and has not recovered yet. His original celestial charm gradually faded as his cheeks became more and more withered. Now Zhang Jiao looks more like an evil ghost under the Lord of Hell. Just looking at him makes him feel scary.
"Ahem!" After finishing speaking, Zhang Jiao felt that he couldn't hold a breath in his chest, and he immediately started coughing, coughing up a mouthful of blood.
The messenger hurried forward and said, "Great Master, are you okay?"
"It doesn't matter!" Zhang Jue suppressed his rebellious spirit, "You will notify me immediately, and the army will be ready to follow me out of the city."
Although the person who sent the message was nervous about Zhang Jue's body, he also knew the importance of the military order and immediately retreated to arrange it.
When Dong Zhuo left, he left nearly a thousand people outside Guangzong City. The purpose was to give Zhang Jiao the illusion that the army was still there.
Zhang Jiao made up his mind to defend Guangzong City. He had not personally climbed the tower for many days and was successfully deceived by Dong Zhuo.
If the news about Zhang Bao had not come, Zhang Jiao would still be kept in the dark at this moment, but now that he knows it, the more than a thousand people outside Guangzong City would not be able to leave!
Dong Zhuo did not dare to return to Guangzong after leaving Quyang. He took a detour. The news about Zhang Bao must have spread faster than him. As long as he dared to go to Guangzong, he would definitely escape death.
The more than a thousand people outside Guangzong City had long been abandoned in Dong Zhuo's heart! In other words, when he decided to attack Quyang City, the fate of these people was already doomed.
