Yuan Shang had a good idea of the marriage trial, but the accident happened against their will.
"Xiansi (characterized by Yuan Tan), you are too presumptuous..." Just as the guards preparing to take action and Yuan Tan completely lost control, Liu Youchong's voice came from behind a screen.
The battle to seize the heir has always been expected by Liu Youchong. But Liu Youchong, who is much more experienced, quickly saw the outside situation clearly. Whether it was to quell the dispute or to protect Yuan Tan, she took action at the right time.
, stood up.
"Since ancient times, there are no two days in the sky, and there are no two masters in the family." Now, Hebei is in a period of life and death. Since your father's will is to show his father (named by Yuan Shang) as the head of the Yuan family, then he will be the king of Hebei.
, if you don’t respect him, the king’s law and the family law will not tolerate it, are you clear?”
As the absolute elder of the Yuan family, Liu Youchong did not appear in person, but his voice projected absolute majesty and severity.
Yuan Tan, who had been arrogantly planning to kill Fengji just now, had to stop when he heard Liu Youchong's stern voice. He bowed and said "Yes! I know!"
At this time, Liu Youchong's reasonable words not only allowed Yuan Tan to calm down for a while, but also made Yuan Tan notice the situation and changes in the mourning hall. He noticed that there were more guards in the mourning hall at some time, and then Yuan Tan knew
If he really couldn't control his anger just now and made a scene in the mourning hall, Yuan Shang and Shen Pei might have reason to take him down or even kill him.
"It turns out that there was an ambush here, and it was definitely an ambush for me. A good man doesn't suffer the consequences of his immediate defeat. Since the general's sword is in Xianfu's hands, it's useless for me to make a fuss. And I only brought two military guards with me.
But there are so many sword-wielding warriors here. If the real fire breaks out, it will definitely be me who suffers. I have to leave here first..."
After being reminded by Liu Youchong, Yuan Tan secretly assessed the situation and immediately gave hints to the left and right.
As an expert in receiving hints, Guo Tu has done an excellent job in serving Yuan Shao and now Yuan Tan.
Guo Tu took the Seal of Chariot and Cavalry General from the waiter on the side, thrust it into the hand of Yuan Tan who was in a dilemma, and said mischievously: "The general knows Dali, and he will never act like a relative."
Pain is something that pleases the enemy."
Following Guo Tu's words, Yuan Tan took the seal ribbon with all his tugged clothes, then bowed three times and nine times in front of Yuan Shao's coffin, and then slowly withdrew.
Many people in the mourning hall breathed a sigh of relief when Yuan Tanzhi stopped taking action. After all, blood splattered in the mourning hall was something most people didn't want to see.
Especially Yuan Shang, after all, he is still young and cruelty is not his specialty. Except for people like Shen Pei who have political interests above all else and are dissatisfied with the final treatment of Liu Youchong and Yuan Shang, others can accept this.
the result of.
In this way, Yuan Shao's funeral went on as scheduled in peace. Within five days, Yuan Shao's relatives and friends rushed back to Yecheng for the funeral. After Yuan Xi returned to Yecheng, he also obviously participated in the fight between the two camps.
Competition for the head of the family: The emperor obviously favored Yuan Shang, and Yuan Xi naturally sided with his compatriot Yuan Tan. However, neither of them wanted to get involved. After Yuan Shao finally died in peace, they both returned to their respective territories. There was no
What drastic actions did Yuan Shao take before and after his funeral? At present, all the competition is still in the undercurrent stage and has not reached the stage of open competition.
Yuan Tan, who was unwilling to do so, did not want to do this. After being aggrieved in the mourning hall, he did not leave or return to Qingzhou. Instead, he intercepted the troops under his and Guo Tu's direct jurisdiction and stationed them in the suburbs of Yecheng.
On the day of Yuan Shao's "funeral", Yuan Tan, who was unwilling to be controlled by his younger brother Yuan Shang, asked Guo Tu in his tent outside the city: "What does the military advisor think we should do next?" Guo Tu has now been cited by Yuan Tan as his leader.
The first think tank - military advisor.
"It would be unwise for a general to fight with his compatriots when Duke Yuan has just passed away and is observing mourning. If you stir up trouble first, you will definitely be criticized by the people in the world. Moreover, Yuan Shang, Shen Pei and others have already obtained most of the official positions.
I agree, with our current strength, it is not appropriate to compete with them at this time and here. Why don’t you, general, ask Yuan Shang for troops and leave Yecheng in the name of resisting foreign enemies!"
"Um……"
Guo Tu's opinion is obviously the most suitable for Yuan Tan's situation at present. Now Yuan Shang is obviously at an absolute advantage over Yuan Tan. Yuan Tan can only leave the area that Yuan Shang strongly controls first, wait for his wings to grow, and then come back to compete with his younger brother.
length.
As soon as Yuan Tan followed Yuan Shao's plan, Yuan Shang proposed to send troops to Liyang to compete with Cao's army for the current gate of Jizhou.
After Yuan Shang received Yuan Tan's application, he discussed the matter with the examiner.
"He's going to seek death, so let him go." Shen Pei said with a hint of contentment. Now it's clear that Li Yang has completely returned to the enemy Cao Zhi's hands. If Cao's army hadn't been unable to keep up with the food and fodder, they would have already entered Jizhou.
Yuan Tan is asking for a battle at this time, and the situation is not promising. Cao Jun is now recognized as a tiger and wolf army. Anyone who blocks this first hurdle will be in danger.
But then the judge said worriedly: "If Yuan Tan can defeat Cao Zhi, his growing prestige will definitely threaten you, so someone must be sent over to keep an eye on him, lest you still feel resentful and harbor any resentment."
Big brother with different ambitions, support yourself and turn your back on us!"
"Yeah!" At this time, Yuan Shang still had little control and awareness of the overall situation. He was completely following the orders of the experienced judge who had single-handedly promoted him to the leading position.
"Then who should we send?"
"Send Fengji! Fengji favors us. Although Yuan Tan is dissatisfied, after all, they are comrades who have just returned from fighting side by side in Youzhou. We then entrust Fengji with the post of supervising the army to suppress Yuan Tan.
Guo Tu, come to think of it, they don’t dare to cause chaos at will!”
"Well, good!"
At present, Yuan Shang trusts the review and allocation, so he dispatches manpower and replies to Yuan Tan according to the review and allocation.
So, a few days later, they set out again from Yecheng to attack Cao Zhi. The 40,000 Yuan army, led by Yuan Tan and Feng Ji, arrived at the outskirts of Liyang and confronted Cao Zhi's army, Yaoxiang, who had already garrisoned Liyang.
But what is unexpected is that before Yuan Jun started fighting with Cao Jun, who was just around the corner, internal strife broke out among Yuan Jun's troops after they had just set up camp and integrated the newly arrived troops with the original garrison. As soon as Yuan Tan finished integrating the troops that night, he took over the position of military supervisor.
Fengji who came was killed.
In his response to Yuan Shang, he killed him because he had different ambitions and wanted to surrender to Cao Zhi. When the news was sent back to Yecheng, Yuan Shang angrily tore up the letter sent by Yuan Tan in his hand and cursed Yuan Tan for being a wolf.
They vowed to rectify the eldest brother who really had different ambitions. The two Yuan brothers officially broke up before Yuan Shao passed the Qi period, and the brothers were at odds with each other.
#######During the period of internal strife in the Yuan family, Cao Zhi was enjoying the warmth and family happiness of his family in Xudu.
Before Cao Zhi eliminated those who opposed and had evil intentions, the entire Han court was still in uncertainty for a period of time.
First of all, Cao Zhi needs to appease and see clearly the attitude of the generals outside the country and the officials towards his handling of the results. Especially those who are mainly involved in this turmoil, such as Cao Ren and Xun You, their attitudes will have an impact on Cao Zhi's subsequent court arrangements.
It has a vital impact on the internal stability of Cao's team.
But what Cao Zhi didn't expect was that before these important figures who were not in Xudu expressed their stance, Jia Xu was the first to stand up and express his intention to resign from all official positions to Cao Zhi and the current emperor Liu Xie.
Willingness to return home for retirement.
This caught Cao Zhi a little off guard. Cao Zhi has always classified Jia Xu as the person who can best assess the situation in these troubled times, seek to live the longest and protect his family, has real great wisdom, and is the smartest person in the Three Kingdoms period.
.
But I didn't expect that Jia Xu's resignation and the voice of leaving the political arena were so sudden and resolute. Just less than half a month after Cao Zhi appointed him as Xun Yu's successor and became Shangshu Ling, Jia Xu proposed
The resignation received a fierce response from the outside world.
One theory is that Jia Xu believed that he was not an old minister of the Cao family, but he had profound plans, so he was afraid of being suspected by members of the Cao family, so he adopted a self-protection strategy of staying behind closed doors and not seeking alliances with powerful people.
Secondly, Jia Xu has always been opposed to the turmoil caused by Cao Zhi. This is an act of revenge out of dissatisfaction and frustration.
Third, Jia Xu was seriously ill and would die soon, so he resigned.
Anyway, no matter what the outside world speculated, Cao Zhi's reaction was still very strong. On the day Jia Xu submitted his resignation, Cao Zhi, who was furious, ordered the arrest of Jia Xu and immediately sent him to prison.
But just as Guo Jia, Li Ru and others were pleading for mercy, Cao Zhi went to the cell that night to visit the chief adviser since Xun Yu. Outsiders did not know what Cao Zhi and Jia Xu talked about during this meeting.
, only to know that Cao Zhi went out of his way again on the second day. Not only did he withdraw his order to punish Jia Xu, he immediately returned to the capital to replace Jia Xu, and instead appointed Xun You, Xun Yu's nephew, to replace Jia Xu and become the third minister of the Han Empire under Cao Zhi's support.
After Jia Xu was also released from prison, except for the post of Shangshu Ling, all other officials were restored to their original positions.
At this time, Cao Zhi also received letters of loyalty from Cao Ren, Xun Chen, Xun You, etc. The foreign officials and generals who were not with Cao Zhi at this time, whether they were members of the Cao family or officials with foreign surnames, all expressed their feelings for Cao Zhi.
Understanding and support for field rectification.
After Cao Zhi gained unprecedented unity and support, his mood improved. With his power consolidated and promoted, he also took the opportunity to set the schedule to marry Zhen Mi.
At the end of the ninth month of the golden autumn, Cao Zhi officially accepted Zhongshan Wuji Zhenluo as his concubine in Xudu. Although Cao Zhigui was the most powerful official in the empire and the new prime minister, Cao Zhi still advocated no extravagance and no grand wedding banquet.
We invited the most important ministers of the court and close relatives of the clan, and set up a few tables at home, which was equivalent to a reunion dinner for Cao Zhi's class teacher after returning to the court. Even if it was a wedding banquet, the marriage between him and Zhen Mi was just arranged in this way.
