In Nanyang, a nursery rhyme like this suddenly spread across the country.
"There are no deer in Chang'an, everything is transported back to Nanyang, the spirit of the Han Dynasty has been exhausted, and the seal can only be used to become an emperor!"
However, no one noticed anything, after all, they didn't know where Yuxi was now.
There is nothing wrong with saying this. After all, the jade seal is meant to carry luck from the sky. This is also common sense that has been passed down since ancient times.
But when this nursery rhyme reached Yuan Shu's ears, his eyes became brighter.
Yuan Shu laughed loudly, "Haha, indeed even God recognizes me, Yuan Gongliu!"
Then Yuan Shu looked at the location where the jade seal was hidden and felt even more delighted.
Regarding the matter of proclaiming himself emperor, he had already made plans, but he had been hesitating. Now it seems that his Nanyang may be as powerful as a rainbow these days.
Luck is so strong that nothing can stop it.
Nowadays, such nursery rhymes are circulating among the people, which means that if you come out with the jade seal and proclaim yourself emperor, you will definitely win the hearts of the people!
Originally, I was worried that I might not have enough luck, but now it seems that with his status as the fourth generation and the third prince, it seems logical to proclaim himself emperor!
However, although Yuan Shu has the idea of proclaiming himself emperor, he is not a fool. Now is not the time to proclaim himself emperor.
Although his current strength seems to be stronger, and the surrounding counties of Nanyang are as wide as the land of two states, he has not immediately prepared to proclaim himself emperor.
It's just that the desire hidden deep in his heart has become stronger. Sooner or later, he will become emperor, but not now!
Yuan Shu did nothing to prevent the spread of nursery rhymes around Nanyang.
After this nursery rhyme spread, the surrounding princes became commotion.
Many princes sent soldiers to search for the whereabouts of the jade seal. Not surprisingly, they all returned without success.
This made all the princes even more interested.
Is this jade seal really as magical as the legend says? Will it disappear once its energy is exhausted? And then wait for the new emperor to appear before this jade seal will appear again?
But even after all this, Yuan Shu couldn't help but laugh.
At this moment, Yan Xiang, the chief clerk of Yuan Shu's account, happened to be passing by. He saw Yuan Shu laughing, and then looked at him with puzzled eyes and asked: "My lord, why are you laughing?"
Looking at his chief clerk's question, Yuan Shu smiled and said, "Have you heard of the nursery rhymes circulating in Nanyang recently?"
Following Yuan Shu's question, Yan Xiang nodded and responded with a smile.
"Haha, it's true that the missing jade seal actually caused the princes to send people to make an empty trip."
Seeing that Yan Xiang misinterpreted his meaning, Yuan Shu did not blame him and continued to ask: "Yan Xiang, if I hold the jade seal, can I be the emperor?"
Obviously, only a few people, even his close associates, knew that Yuan Shu held the jade seal.
Seeing Yuan Shu's serious question, Yan Xiang shook his head and said, "Of course not. King Wen of Zhou was once the second largest king in the world, but he didn't even claim the title of emperor. With my lord's current strength, I'm afraid it's still too far away."
Looking at Yan Xiang who shook his head, although Yuan Shu was a little unhappy, he didn't say anything. After all, what he said was the truth.
It's just that Yan Xiang's tone looks down on himself too much, right?
After playing the nursery rhyme for three days, Chen Liu and Zhao Feng waited alone for the bronze bird to come to their door.
In just a moment, a secret scroll was handed into Zhao Feng's hands, and Yuan Shu's every move was recorded on the secret scroll.
Zhao Feng looked at it for a while, and the corner of his mouth curved. It seemed that he could implement the second strategy.
If Yuan Shu wants to be crowned emperor, his chief clerk Yan Xiang must die!
Among Yuan Shu's men, this person was the only one who did not hesitate to refute Yuan Shu's idea of proclaiming himself emperor. If Yan Xiang did not die, some changes would inevitably occur.
However, according to Yuan Shu's character, once he makes up his mind, he will definitely not listen to the advice of his subordinates. He got rid of the Yan Xiang just to ensure that nothing goes wrong.
"Tongque is here!" Zhao Feng shouted softly.
A bronze bird came forward and asked, "What are the military advisor's orders?"
At this time, Zhao Feng thought for a moment and said with a smile: "I order you to forge a letter from Yan Xiang. The content of the letter will tell Yuan Shao that Yuan Shu holds the jade seal!"
After saying this, Zhao Feng showed a smile. There had been a gap between the Yuan brothers since they started to challenge the Dong alliance.
By then, if Yuan Shu knew that Yan Xiang under his command was actually a craftsman placed by Yuan Shao, there is no need to say what the consequences would be.
At that time, Yuan Shu might take the initiative to send troops to Yuan Shao. After all, the gap between the two people is not shallow. Now that they are on separate sides, how can Yuan Shao, who is far away in Bohai County, not envy Yuan Shu?
Occupying such good land as Nanyang, even he has never owned it.
What Zhao Feng will do next is just sit on the mountain and watch the fight between tigers and tigers.
The bronze bird nodded and responded: "No!"
Watching Tongque leave, Zhao Feng showed some smile. If this letter is sent to Yuan Shu, Yan Xiang will die!
As long as this Yan Xiang dies and there is no one around Yuan Shu to advise him, it will inevitably expand. At that time, as long as the bronze bird is aroused, Yuan Shu will be able to proclaim himself emperor!
You must know that although Yuan Shu's Nanyang land has a better terrain, it is completely incomparable with Chenliu.
Today's Yuan Shu proclaiming himself emperor is seeking death. First of all, knowing that the jade seal is with Yuan Shu, Liu Biao of Jingzhou will definitely send troops. In addition, Sun Ce of Jiangdong also has a big feud with Yuan Shu.
Coupled with other princes who have various ideas about the jade seal, becoming emperor is a dead end.
All of this was planned by Zhao Feng, and every move was guiding Yuan Shu's steps. Guo Jia, who was studying alongside Zhao Feng, also began to admire this perfect plan.
After all, it was just the disclosure of Yuan Shu's possession of the jade seal. Without evidence, it would be difficult to prove it. And directly allowing Yuan Shu to proclaim himself emperor would undoubtedly leave him with no way out.
Even the poisonous scholar Jia Xu couldn't help but sigh about this plan. Compared with his own plan, this plan was more vicious and benefited himself at the expense of others.
Nanyang, where Yuan Shu is stationed.
"Reporting to my lord, a spy has been caught in the surrounding area recently!"
Yuan Shu frowned slightly and said, "Do you have any letters on you?"
It is normal for him to have elaborate works in Nanyang, and Yuan Shu doesn't care about it.
Then the soldier respectfully handed over the unopened letterbox with both hands.
Looking at this object, Yuan Shu opened it with a calm expression. After opening the letter, his eyes showed surprise.
This letter actually came from the hand of Yan Xiang, the chief clerk of his account!
"How could there be a letter written by Yan Xiang on Xizuo's body?"
Yuan Shu looked puzzled. Could it be that Yan Xiang had colluded with an outsider?
Continuing to read the content of the letter, the person receiving the letter turned out to be Yuan Shao!
Yuan Shu's face became ugly again. The content of this letter simply made a murderous intent appear in his eyes!
Now for Yuan Shu, the biggest secret is that he holds the jade seal, and according to the content of this letter, Yan Xiang wants to tell Yuan Shao that he holds the jade seal!
What made Yuan Shu even more displeased was when did Yan Xiang know that he held the jade seal?
Is it just that joke?
Obviously this is not possible. When I think of the killed Xizuo, the matter is already very clear!
