When everything was calm at Jingxing Pass and Tian Chou was not attacking, Xin Pi from Taiyuan received news from Lu Xuan.
The news of Xin Pi's surrender to the Kingdom of Wu was never told to his eldest brother Xin Ping.
Yuan Tan died in Qingzhou, and Xinpi escaped from Qingzhou. Yuan Shao did not pursue the case. After all, Yuan Tan was killed by Zang Ba because of his betrayal. Xinpi cannot be blamed for this. To this day, Xinpi has been able to help Yuan Shang become the heir apparent. He must
With help from Xin Ping.
Therefore, Xin Pi called his eldest brother Xin Ping and told him to submit to Wu and serve Lu Xuan.
Xin Ping was very surprised after hearing this.
After a long while, Xin Ping regained his composure and sighed: "Second brother, what you did is right. The situation in the world is still clear and clear. Lu Xuan's family is the only one who wants to dominate the world."
"Your Majesty, you have been hungover all day long, indulged in singing, dancing and having fun these days. You have completely lost your fighting spirit. You are not the King we know. Your Majesty ignores government affairs, and people's hearts naturally collapse, and you lose your fighting spirit to resist."
Xin Ping didn't do well under Yuan Shao.
Anyway, it has some influence.
Xin Pi said in a mocking tone: "When Gongsun Zan was defeated and retreated to Yijing City, he lost the fighting spirit to resist. Yuan Shao said that Gongsun Zan was a waste for not resisting desperately. Now Yuan Shao is the same. It's the same for everyone. At this point,
I started to give up.”
Xin Ping asked: "What are you going to do?"
Xin Pi smiled and said: "Of course we are looking for Yuan Shang to express his position. We support him to become the crown prince. He will not refuse. What's more, I heard that Yuan Shang has been seeking the position of crown prince these days, but Yuan Shao has not agreed. Let's support him.
, please ask the reviewer to come forward, there is a great chance of success."
Xin commented: "Listen to you."
Xin Pi took Xin Ping with him and went straight to see Yuan Shang.
In the past, Xin Pi and Xin Ping supported Yuan Tan and had a normal relationship with Yuan Shang. Yuan Shang was also trying to win over the two of them, but Xin Pi and Xin Ping never expressed their stance.
This time, Yuan Shang was very happy to see Brother Xinpi coming and asked, "What can I do for you two gentlemen?"
Xin Pi cupped his hands and said: "Third Young Master, I came here today to serve you. Furthermore, I am willing to support Third Young Master to become the heir apparent."
Xin Ping said: "I am the same below."
What Yuan Shang was thinking about most was to become the heir to the Jin Kingdom. With the support of the two brothers Xin Pi and Xin Ping, Yuan Shang suddenly became excited and said quickly: "With the help of these two gentlemen, my master has achieved great things.
"
Xin Pi smiled and said: "Third Young Master has received the award. Our support is just the icing on the cake. After all, it is Third Young Master who is wise and powerful, coupled with the support of the Shen Shangshu, this is the foundation."
Yuan Shang also had a smile on his face after listening to the words.
Xinpi is very good at talking.
Yuan Shang thought for a while and sighed: "It's a pity that my father never let go, otherwise I would have been the eldest son of the Jin Dynasty."
A flash of light flashed across Xin Pi's eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "Third Young Master, it is precisely because the King has been slow to express his position that he has to decide on the identity of the Crown Prince."
Yuan Shang asked: "Why?"
Xin Pi explained: "If Yuan Xi is defeated at Jingxing Pass and Lu Xuan's army comes, we will face annihilation. There is nothing to say. However, once Yuan Xi blocks the Wu army outside Jingxing Pass, this will be a huge achievement.
."
"Yuan Xi is quite popular in Bingzhou. If Yuan Xi makes meritorious deeds again, there will definitely be many people who will gather around Yuan Xi and strongly support Yuan Xi. For the Third Young Master, this is a threat and it exists.
Uncertainty."
hiss!
Yuan Shang took a sharp breath.
He immediately agreed with Xin Pi's words. Once Yuan Xi made meritorious service, his father would be even more hesitant and more people would support Yuan Xi.
This cannot be tolerated.
Yuan Shang looked solemn, stood up and said: "Thanks to Mr. Xin for your advice, otherwise, I would have been in trouble. Let's go, let's go find the Shen Shangshu and discuss it with the Shen Shangshu."
Xin Pi said: "I admire the Third Young Master's resoluteness and determination."
Yuan Shang smiled proudly.
Yuan Shang took Xin Pi and Xin Ping together and went directly to the minister's desk and found Shen Pei. Yuan Shang did not go around in circles and directly stated Xin Pi's judgment. Finally, he said: "In the review of the book, we must appoint the crown prince, otherwise, for me,
unfavorable."
The judge is on Yuan Shang's side.
He thought for a while, agreed with Xin Pi's judgment, nodded and said: "Third Young Master, since you want to do something big, you must summon everyone. In addition, he also supports Third Young Master because of the rules."
Having said this, Shen Pei paused for a moment and made arrangements: "Third Young Master, please go see the King first. Regarding the matter of appointing the Crown Prince, the King will definitely call us to discuss the matter, and we will express our support one after another."
After Yuan Shang agreed, he first went to the palace to find Yuan Shao.
Today, Yuan Shao is still drinking and enjoying singing and dancing.
Yuan Shang did not go around in circles, but directly talked about the position of the crown prince, and said solemnly: "Father, in times of crisis, my sons and ministers also want to share your worries. However, I have never become the crown prince, and I cannot make a legitimate arrangement."
"It was like this in Yijing City before, and my sons and ministers couldn't give orders. It was like this in Hejian Kingdom, and it was the same when I returned to Yecheng later. Now we are in Taiyuan City, and it's the same. Please give me a warning, father."
Yuan Shao drank a glass of wine and frowned slightly.
He looked at his stubborn son, thought about it carefully, and felt that it could be arranged. He still didn't want to deal with the matter, but Yuan Shang had the desire and could arrange it.
Yuan Shao waved his hand for the singer to retreat and ordered: "Then call everyone together and discuss it."
Yuan Shang said excitedly: "Father Wang Shengming!"
Yuan Shao arranged for people to call Shen Pei, Ju Shou, Xin Ping, Xin Pi, Xun Chen and Feng Ji. They talked about the appointment of Yuan Shang as the prince. He said in a deep voice: "Now that the king has appointed Xianfu as the prince, what do you have?
view?"
Shen Pei said: "Your Majesty, with the crown prince, the country has a wind-fixing stone, which can stabilize people's hearts. I agree."
Feng Ji said: "I also agree."
Yuan Shao nodded, and seeing that the others were not in a hurry to express their opinions, he took the initiative to ask: "Jushou, what do you think?"
Jushu said: "Your Majesty, if you appoint the crown prince now, I'm afraid it will cause a reaction from the second young master Yuan Xi."
"impossible!"
The judge spoke decisively.
He glanced at Jushou and said: "Second Young Master Yuan Xi has always understood justice and obeyed the King's arrangements. What's more, the King has already made rules for keeping the Third Young Master by his side. The Second Young Master has always been sensible.
, there will be no objection.”
Feng Ji said: "It is precisely because the rear is stable that the Second Young Master will not be affected."
Xin Pi said: "I second the proposal!"
Xin Ping said quickly: "Your Majesty, I agree with you. Only by appointing the Crown Prince now can we stabilize the people's hearts in Taiyuan City and avoid panic. After the Crown Prince is established, we can let the Crown Prince patrol the four directions on behalf of the King and stabilize the hearts of the people."
Xun Chen was from the Yingchuan faction. When he saw that Xin Pi and Xin Ping, who were both from Yingchuan, had expressed their opinions, he was a little unclear about the reason, so he also expressed his opinion: "I also support it."
For a time, everyone except Ju Shou supported him.
Yuan Shao wanted someone to take charge of the situation. After thinking about it, he felt that Yuan Shang was qualified. Regardless of Jushou's advice, he ordered: "That's it. The judge will draft an imperial edict and name Xianfu as the crown prince of the Jin Dynasty."
"I obey!"
The judge responded immediately.
Yuan Shang said excitedly: "Father, please rest assured that I will do my best to live up to my father's high expectations."
Yuan Shao waved his hand and said: "Everyone, please step back."
Yuan Shang led Shen Pei, Xin Pi and the others to retreat. Ju Shang looked at Yuan Shang's happy scene, looked at the slightly complacent look, and shook his head.
But, he didn't try to persuade.
The current situation in the Jin Kingdom is very unfavorable. It is already in such a bad situation. A group of people are still thinking about fighting among themselves and fighting for power. It is very disappointing.
Yuan Shang was appointed as the crown prince, and the news spread throughout the city and also reached Yuan Xi's house.
Yuan Xi's people quickly spread the news to the front lines.
