Chapter 357: The Son of Heaven's Trance
Yuan Shao, on the whole, is still relatively wise.
The person who can become the leader of the princes alliance is definitely not a young slick person like Xin Bi who can be fooled casually, after all, Yuan Shao is also a person who has been up and down in the court for many years, and he is by no means comparable to ordinary people.
Xin Bi is a talented person, Yuan Shao can see it, but he also sees this young man's frivolity and impatience.
But after all, the Xin family is a famous family in Yingchuan, and Xin Bi and his brother Xin Ping are both famous people in the world, so it is impossible for Yuan Shao to deal with him because of the trivial matter of fighting for his own high official price.
When it came to the ears of other clans, Yuan Shao's people were completely defeated.
But Yuan Shao could treat him in other ways.
If Xin Bi took the initiative to confess to Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao would not look down on him, but Xin Bi did not admit his mistake, but instead passed the buck to the envoy of the Black Mountain Army, which made Yuan Shao a little unaccustomed to it.
In order to appease his elder brother Xin Ping, Yuan Shao did not clean up Xinbi, but temporarily transferred him from the center of Jizhou and sent him to his eldest son Yuan Tan to take up his post and retain him.
Yuan Shao's doing this is also very meaningful.
After taking the state and driving Zhang Yan into the ravine, Yuan Shao intended to take Qingzhou, and Yuan Shao, the chief general of Qingzhou, intended to support his eldest son Yuan Tan.
Let Xin Bi pass, one is a punishment, and the other can also allow him to give Yuan Tan ideas.
Xin Bi was young and anxious, and he was very unconvinced by Yuan Shao's behavior, although he complied on the surface, he actually had resentment in his heart.
It seems that the turbulent Son of Heaven moved the capital, and in this official buying action, it was covered so silently, but the potter did not naively think that this matter would end so simply.
At least one person will not be willing to suffer a dumb loss like this.
In this migration of the Son of Heaven, the biggest loser was Cao Cao.
It is not too late for the so-called gentleman to take revenge for ten years, but the pottery merchant believes that with Cao Cao's character, he will definitely not be able to wait ten years.
Revenge on yourself is certainly a recent thing.
A few days later, news came from the north that Da Sima and Youzhou Mu Liu Yu were beheaded by Gongsun Zhan for the crime of rebellion.
Although Gongsun Zhan's move to kill Liu Yu was expected by the pottery merchants, it greatly surprised the expectations of the princes.
In any case, Liu Yu is also the most famous Han clan member today! And he has a very high reputation among the people, and he is very popular in the north, and some people have even described him as 'the world leads the way to return', such a figure was actually killed by Gongsun Zan on the charge of rebellion?
Gongsun Zhan's move, what word is used to describe it?
It's just angry!
Just when everyone felt sorry for Liu Yu, only one person almost didn't fart.
Needless to say, that person is naturally Yuan Shao.
Among the heroes of Hebei, Gongsun Chan is undoubtedly Yuan Shao's biggest opponent, more than Zhang Yan, as one of the two most warlike princes alongside Sun Jian, Gongsun Zhan's white horse righteousness can be said to be the nightmare of any prince.
It's a pity that after the incident of killing Liu Yu without permission, in Yuan Shao's eyes, Gongsun Chan is no different from a dead man.
No matter how good the cavalry under your command is, after losing the popularity of the world, let's see what you can do against Yuan!
A few days later, Gongsun Zhan's envoy's plea and Liu Yu's head were sent to Fan County.
After Liu Xie saw this, he shed tears of regret on the spot.
Although he is not familiar with Liu Yu, in this world full of tigers and wolves, the only people who can really reassure Liu Xie may be those so-called Han clan relatives.
Today, in Liu Xie's heart, there are only three members of the Liu family who are really capable of helping the world.
One is Liu Yan, the pastor of Yizhou, the other is Liu Biao, who has just been named the general of Jingzhou Mu and Zhennan, and the other is Liu Yu.
A few years ago, Liu Xie got the news in Puyang City, saying that Liu Yan, a pastor of Yizhou, died in Chengdu due to a back sore, and now within a few months, Liu Yan died in the hands of Gongsun Zhan.
The three most influential clan relatives have lost two of them this year, and Liu Xie is very eager to find a fortune teller feng shui master to calculate, to see if the old Liu family has found something evil this year, and walked such a big quilt.
Just as he was sad, Ma Xun, the regular attendant, entered the house and bowed his hand to Liu Xie: "Your Majesty, the pottery merchant of Danyang County asks to see you." ”
Liu Xie stretched out his hand and wiped his tears: "Pass quickly." ”
Ma Xun went out of the house and invited the potter in, but the potter smiled and asked Ma Xun about the situation of the Son of Heaven.
Ma Xun had a very good impression of the potter, so he told the potter that the Son of Heaven was very sad after receiving the report from Gongsun Zhan.
After listening to Ma Xun's words, the potter had a plan in his heart, and then went in to face the saint.
"Tao Aiqing!"
As soon as he saw the potter, the Son of Heaven finally couldn't control his tears anymore, and said while crying: "Aiqing knows that my clan relatives and uncles were killed by Gongsun Zhan's thief!" ”
Liu Xie was still a child after all, and the potter saw him crying, and he felt quite uncomfortable in his heart, he reached out and took out a handkerchief from his sleeve, handed it to Liu Xie, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, don't be too sad, the deceased is gone, and the minister came to Your Majesty today specifically for this matter." ”
Liu Xie took the potter's handkerchief, wiped his tears, and sobbed: "What does Aiqing have to say to me?" ”
Seeing Liu Xie's crying, the potter was quite touched in his heart.
This child's feelings are still quite delicate, and crying like this for an uncle who has never seen him is quite emotional.
Speaking of which, he is just a child who has no father or mother, but is constantly being bullied and used.
"Your Majesty, Gongsun Chan has made meritorious contributions to quelling the rebellion, and His Majesty should give him a reward, and His Majesty can sell the official positions of General Zhenbei and Youzhou Mu to Gongsun Chan to reassure him."
"What!"
When Liu Xie heard this, he was shocked: "Tao Aiqing, Gongsun Chan killed my clan uncle and wronged him for betrayal!" Now I can't wait to personally raise a million troops and cross the Yellow River north to personally behead the head of this fang! You're going to let me reward him? It's just ridiculous! ”
The potter was not in a hurry, he just said lightly: "If Your Majesty wants to ask Gongsun Zhan about his crimes, then please immediately issue an edict and send a million soldiers to Youzhou to quell the rebellion, and the minister is willing to be the vanguard of the front and share the worries for Your Majesty." ”
Liu Xie pouted when he heard this: "What is Aiqing talking about!" You know I don't have any generals! ”
Tao Shang sighed: "Your Majesty knows that you have no soldiers in your hands, but you still act so willfully, Your Majesty knows that now Chu Feiyan's Black Mountain Army has been beaten into the ravine by Yuan Shao to ask for food, and in the entire land of Hebei, except for Gongsun Zhan, no one is Yuan Shao's opponent, if Gongsun Zhan is weakened again, then the entire north of the Yellow River will belong to Yuan Shao sooner or later...... If Yuan Shao captures Hebei, does Your Majesty know what this means? ”
Although Liu Xie didn't understand it very well, he also roughly heard the seriousness of the matter.
"What does that mean?"
The potter said solemnly: "Jizhou is the granary of the world, and the state produces strong soldiers, Qingzhou is a large state of Haiyan, with extremely high taxes, and Youzhou produces good horses in the world...... There is no shortage of food, money, people, and Ma Yuan Shao, does Your Majesty think he will be more threatening than Dong Zhuo in the future? ”
Liu Xie was so frightened by the potter that he immediately panicked.
"Never, we must not let Yuan Shao become a trend!"
The pottery merchant continued: "Although the death of the Great Sima is regrettable, in the long run, it is still beneficial to Your Majesty, after all, Yuan Shao had intended to make the Great Sima the emperor and establish a dynasty in the eastern part of the country...... Although Da Sima did not agree, it is difficult to guarantee that Yuan Shao will not bring up the old matter again in the future! ”
"There is such a thing!" Liu Xie was furious when he heard this, and slapped the table heavily: "Yuan Shao's guy is the leader of the princes in vain, which is really hateful!" If there is no reminder from Aiqing, I will still think of him as a loyal and good general! ”
The potter catered to Liu Xiedao: "Who says it's not, Your Majesty must be extra careful in the future, don't let the Yuan thief take advantage of the loophole, you need to know that the Yuan family tree has deep roots and is very popular in the world!" ”
"I am so good to Yuan Shao, even the general has sold it to him, but he treats me like this! I still want to make someone else the emperor...... But I really didn't expect him to be such a person! Tao Aiqing, how much did you sell him for the position of general this time? ”
The pottery merchant smiled: "Your Majesty, rest assured, the minister will never cheapen Yuan Shao for nothing, the minister has cheated him for six thousand yuan this time!" ”
Liu Xie was surprised when he heard this: "So many? ”
"This is still the mercy of the ministers."
Liu Xie was stunned for a while, and suddenly said, "He deserves it!" Who made him unfaithful to me! Aiqing pit is beautiful! ”
Tao Shang nodded and said: "Your Majesty, according to the current situation, Gongsun Zhan must be crowned as an official, Your Majesty not only wants to make him the pastor of Youzhou, but it is also best to give him the title of Temperance Sizhou, so that he can have dealings with Yuan Shao, who was named a general, so that Your Majesty can develop without worry...... Your Majesty can rest assured that the minister will never let His Majesty give Gongsun Chan an official title for nothing, and the minister will definitely slaughter Gongsun Chan ruthlessly. ”
Liu Xie nodded vigorously: "Yes, kill him!" ”
Although the minister is loyal to His Majesty, in order to block the world's mouth, he also asked His Majesty to send someone close to him to check the accounts to prove the integrity of the minister. ”
Liu Xie sighed with emotion: "Aiqing is really a gentleman and loyal, for a courtier like you, how can I send a minister to check on you, so I won't become a faint king?" In this way, let Ma Xun, the regular servant of the middle school, go to see the account on behalf of me, and the meaning will be over. ”
The potter's face was full of emotion: "Your Majesty trusts the minister so much, although the minister is full of liver and brains, he should be loyal to His Majesty in the future." ”
"Tao Aiqing doesn't have to be like this, you are my loyal minister and good minister, and you will definitely be recorded in history in the future and left for eternity."
The potter waved his hand modestly, and suddenly said, "Your Majesty, the minister still has one more thing I want to ask Your Majesty for." ”
"What's the matter?"
"Under the command of Gongsun Zhan, there is a person named Liu Bei, who was originally the plain minister, this person is a relative of the Han family, and he is also a confidant of Gongsun Zhan, if Your Majesty wants to crown Gongsun Chan this time, remember not to forget this person."
