I, Liu Bian, the hero

Chapter 127
After seeing Huang Wan, Qu Mu, and Jian Shuo that day, Yuan Shu immediately rode his horse to Ruyang, the county town north of Pingyu County, which was also the hometown of his Ruyang Yuan family.

In fact, strictly speaking, the Yuan family in Ruyang is a branch of the Yuan family in Chenjun. According to legend, the ancestors were descendants of Shun, who established the surname Yuan and became the first ancestor of the Yuan family.

Chenjun, that is, Chen Guo, and Fule County in Chenjun, that is, the prefect of the Yuan family in Chenjun.

In history, when Yuan Shu planned to proclaim himself emperor, he said that "Yuan's surname came from Chen", expressing this origin.

By the time of Yuan An's father's generation, some members of the Yuan clan in Chenjun moved south to Runan, where they settled near Ruyang, and thus opened the glory of the fourth and third generations of the Yuan clan in Runan.

Until the present age, the Yuan clan in Runan was mainly divided into two lines, Yuan Peng and Yuan Tang. His influence was brought to Luoyang.

Later, Yuan Tang gave birth to Yuan Cheng, Yuan Feng, and Yuan Kai brothers, which once again increased the reputation of the Yuan family in Runan. Therefore, the so-called Yuan family's four generations and three princes actually refer to the branches of the Yuan family in Runan, not the Yuan family as the original family. Peng, Yuan He, father and son, and now the three brothers Yuan Hong, Yuan Zhong, and Yuan Hong.

It is worth mentioning that the relationship between the two branches of the Yuan family in Runan has not been harmonious. The brothers Yuan Hong, Yuan Zhong, and Yuan Hong in the family basically have no relationship with their uncle Yuan Kui, Yuan Ji, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, etc. Cousins, but compared to the family of the fourth generation and the third father, the main family has no outstanding deeds, and its prestige and influence are weaker. Therefore, people who don't know it think that Yuan Kai, Yuan Ji, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and others are from the main family.

In the early hours of the next day, Yuan Shu arrived at the Yuan family's village in Ruyang. To be precise, it was the hometown of their Yuan Tang lineage, not their own line.

Knowing that his father was returning to his hometown, Yuan Shu's son Yuan Yao hurriedly put on his clothes after being awakened by the servants, and went to meet his father in the lobby of the ancestral house.

When he saw his father, he asked in amazement: "Didn't father go to Chen country? Why did he return suddenly and didn't send a letter to the family, otherwise the child can make arrangements."

Yuan Shu didn't explain, but ordered: "You send someone to call Yuan Yin, Yuan Tan, Yuan Shang and the others, just tell me I have something important to do."

Yuan Yao didn't dare to neglect, and quickly sent someone to invite him.

Not long after, Yuan Yin, Yuan Tan, Yuan Shang, and Yuan Xi hurried over. Among them, except Yuan Yin, who was the son of Yuan Kai, who called Yuan Shu his brother, the others were all sons of Yuan Shao, who called Yuan Shu his uncle.

After everyone arrived, Yuan Shu said in a deep voice: "The little emperor sent two eunuchs to Runan to thoroughly investigate the matter of the scholars judging the court. Yuren, you are also on the list..."

Yuan Tan and the others panicked immediately, and asked Yuan Shu, "Uncle, what should I do? If it is found out that it is indeed my brother who took the lead..."

"What are you afraid of?" Yuan Shu glanced at his nephews, and said calmly: "Without evidence, who can testify? Even if someone testifies, all you have to do is get drunk and talk nonsense. Could it be that the little emperor still Can you kill someone just because of a few drunken nonsense?"

"Gaolu, don't take it lightly." Yuan Yin reminded him sternly: "Although the new king is young, he is far ahead of his peers in power and planning, so don't take it lightly."

Yuan Shu's complexion was uncertain, and he snorted coldly for a long time: "How dare I?... It's ridiculous that He Jin and Benchu ​​originally planned to control the court by helping to establish a new king, but they never thought about it... oh, I can't think of Emperor Yu. The king of licentiousness actually gave birth to such a powerful person as Liu Bian..."

Hearing this remark, Yuan Yin also showed a bit of helplessness on his face.

Originally, his Yuan family's plan was very well planned. First, he would assist the general He Jin to support the crown prince Liu Bian, and then eradicate the eunuchs, completely sweeping away the stigma that his Yuan family had suffered because of his friendship with Yuan She, the regular servant of the middle school, and control him together with He Jin. affairs of state.

When the new king is almost the right age, the Shangzuo will make the new king marry his Yuan family's daughter as the queen. After that, the Yuan family will also be a relative of the emperor. No matter whether he is Wang Mang, Liang Ji, or Dou Wu in the future, the Han family From then on, he was controlled by Yuan Shi.

However, who would have thought that only two years after Prince Liu Bian was taken back to the palace, he first alienated the ten permanent attendants in the palace, recruited a group of eunuchs such as Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong, and then worshiped Lu Zhi and Yang Xu as teachers, and quickly created a grand palace. What they did not expect most was that on the night of the late emperor's death, the crown prince Liu Bian personally suppressed He Jin and Yuan Shao's side actions of the Qing emperor, and even took this opportunity to dismiss his uncle, the great general He Jin. He Miao temporarily acted as the general.

Only then did they realize that this new emperor was far more difficult to deal with than Emperor Yu, who was also enthroned at the age of 12, and his tactics and city government were not inferior to adults.

It's a pity that it was too late to understand this point. He Jin, the great general who was friendly to the Yuan family, had already been dismissed, and he didn't know when he would be able to resume his position. Moreover, Yuan Shao, the mainstay of the Yuan family today, was sent to prison, and he may be imprisoned at any time. was put to death.

"Why did the new emperor target his Yuan family like this?" Yuan Yin once asked his father Yuan Wei.

The father thought for a while before answering him: "The new emperor may be afraid that my Yuan family is too famous."

The truth about Yuan Yin is also unknown, but in the face of the new king's suppression, he Yuan will inevitably do something.

Therefore, he returned to Ruyang under the order of his father Yuan Kai. On the one hand, he wrote letters to connect with his former disciples of the Yuan family, and at the same time chose a suitable opportunity to play to the court, pleading for Yuan Shao's pardon; on the other hand, he incited Runan, Scholars in Yingchuan and Sichuan criticized the fact that the new emperor favored the eunuchs after he came to the throne, and sent Yuan Shao, He Yong, Wang Yun and others to prison.

You know, eighth of the world's scholars in Kanto, and the two counties of Yingchuan and Runan, account for half of Kanto. Weigh it up.

Unexpectedly, the news about the new emperor was really good. Within four months, two eunuchs were sent to thoroughly investigate the matter - if the time spent by the two eunuchs on their way is excluded, it should be three months, which is not counted. I'm slow, I just don't know who reported this to Xinjun.

On that day, Yuan Shu, Yuan Yin, Yuan Tan and others had a good plan, and it was not until dawn that they prepared the carriage and took a few people to Pingyu.

When they arrived in Pingyu County, it was already noon, Yuan Shu took his brother Yuan Yin and several nephews to see Huang Wan.

With the backing of his uncle Yuan Shu, Yuan Tan and the others were not afraid of Qu Mu and Jian Shuo, saying that they just held a poetry and wine party, but they didn't know who was talking nonsense about the court after being drunk.

"I don't know any of them?" Qu Mu had a half-smile.

"I don't know any of them!" Yuan Tan was quite courageous, because he expected that Qu Mu would not dare to torture them.

In fact, Qu Mu really didn't dare. After all, the Yuan family is different from Xu Shao's family. It is a real wealthy family in Runan, with a great reputation and intricate and deep-rooted connections. Therefore, even Liu Bian asked Qu Mu to marry him. Take people after you have the exact evidence, so as not to be falsely accused by Yuan Shi, and put pressure on the court by winning the sympathy of the people of the world.

In contrast, the other scholars who were involved did not have this kind of treatment. Jian Shuo vented his anger at Yuan's on these people. Whenever he was interrogated, he would be beaten ten sticks first, and then he would come to ask questions. Scholars with thin skin and tender flesh cried to the ground.

Fortunately, Huang Wan, the governor of Yuzhou, would not just watch Qu Mu and Jian Shuo torture those scholars, so he sent a civil official named Wen Ji from his entourage to supervise the two.

Facts proved that he was too worried, because among the hundreds of people Xu Shao confessed to, almost none of them could withstand ten sticks, and he honestly confessed everything he knew in a short while.

But even so, there is no direct evidence that it was Yuan who was behind the push, and even a few guys who had nothing to do with Yuan took the initiative to admit that they were drunk and talking nonsense, which offended the majesty of the court.

It seems that the case can be settled at once?

Even, Yuan Shu asked Qu Mu in a strange manner: "...how does the angel plan to deal with these drunken scholars who can't control their mouths?"

This puts Qu Mu on the fence. After all, what Qu Mu wants to catch is the Yuan Shi, what is he doing to catch a bunch of guys who have nothing to do with Yuan Shi?Is it really necessary to kill these people because they slandered the court with drunken nonsense?Isn't this causing trouble for Xinjun?
Huang Wan saw Qu Mu's embarrassment, and at the same time couldn't bear the suffering of those younger generations, so she begged in private, "Why don't you leave it to me, and I'll send someone to discipline them."

Qu Mu thought for a moment, and finally sold Huang Wan's face.

After returning to the camp, Jian Shuo became more and more annoyed with his thoughts, and said to Qu Mu: "like this, how do you go back and report to your majesty?"

Qu Mu sneered and said, "Who said it's all over? This matter can't be used by Yuan Shi. You and I can search for Yuan Shi's other criminal evidence."

On the same day, he wrote a memorandum, ordering two Habayashi cavalry to be sent to Luoyang immediately, and then led two hundred tiger ben and nearly a hundred Yulin cavalry to Ruyang, and broke into the Ruyang county government.

Ru Yangling didn't dare to be negligent, and respectfully asked about his intentions, Qu Mu took out the guard order of his arch guard, and said: "Our family is the imperial envoy of the sage, and Qu Mu, the guard envoy of the arch guard, wants to check your county's land register today. Wait, let everyone leave!"

Ru Yangling and his officials looked at each other, wanting to procrastinate, never wanting to draw their swords from the nearby tigers, they were so frightened that they hurriedly moved away.

"Hurry up and tell Yuan Shi."

Ru Yangling said in a low voice.

That's right, even Zhao Qian, the prefect of Runan County, was restrained by the Yuan family, and this Ruyang order was undoubtedly on the Yuan family's side.

Half a day later, when Yuan Shu was still talking and laughing with Huang Wan in Pingyu County, Yuan Yin hurried in and whispered to Yuan Shu, "On the highway, the Ruyang Order sent a message. Two eunuchs led a group of soldiers to break into the palace. The county government is rummaging through boxes and cabinets to check the field records..."

Yuan Shu knew it was broken as soon as he heard it.

You must know that Zheng Tai, the censor, was criticized by Prince Liu Bian because his family had [-] hectares of fertile land but it was not enough for the diners to eat. If it was revealed how much land and wealth he had in the Yuan family...

What's more terrible is that the way he, Yuan's got part of the fields is actually not glorious, and it is very likely to become a handle.

Thinking of this, he hurriedly bid farewell to Huang Wan and Zhao Qian, and rushed back to Ruyang with Yuan Yin.

Watching him leave in a hurry, Huang Wan and Zhao Qian looked at each other, and they could roughly guess.

It's just that there are some things, and it's not easy for them to interfere.

"quick!"

The moment he stepped out of the prefect's mansion, Yuan Shu told his cousin Yuan Yin, "Contact the officials in Yuzhou, Yangzhou, Xuzhou, and Qingzhou immediately, and ask them to report to the court immediately."

"Okay." Yuan Yin nodded repeatedly.

Once back and forth, it happened to be the first ten days of October, and the burial of the first emperor was about to happen. Memorials from Qing, Yu, Yang, and Xu prefectures came to Luoyang like snowflakes, and were presented on the case of the new emperor Liu Bianyu.

　Not many people.

　　I talked to the editor two days ago.

　　In fact, this book could be put on the shelves as early as half a month ago. However, on the one hand, because the results are estimated by the editor to be similar to the previous one, and the community has been closed for nearly two months, I feel anxious, and I really don’t want to save manuscripts, so I just kept writing. Dragging.

　　Two days ago, I communicated with the editor about the problem.

　　First of all, the subject matter is not well chosen. Too many people know this story. It is okay to read a few books, but if you read too much, you will get tired of it, even if you write it from a different angle.

　　Secondly, there is a paragraph in the middle that collapsed.

　　In fact, I also know this point, that is, the part about discussing Liangzhou.

　　Because the plot was flat, I stepped on the accelerator, and I finished writing about a hundred chapters in two years, which was too crowded.

　　As for the third problem, the writing is not relaxed and humorous enough. This is related to the mood. I really can’t relax. I haven’t gone out for two months, no express delivery, no snacks.

　　In the end, the editor said that so many books have collapsed after Dawei wrote, maybe the writing of historical texts has reached a bottleneck, and asked me if I want to change the subject matter, such as urban, western fantasy, especially glamour, steampunk and so on. It was very popular, and I also cited many transformational authors as examples. I said that I had never written Western Fantasy, and the editor said, no matter how bad it is, what can I do.

　　Think about it.

　　In other words, in the next book, I will try to transition to writing Western Fantasy, and I can't go on like this forever.

　　That's why I want to read the suggestions of chasing book friends. If there are not many people who want to read this book, I simply don't put it on the shelves, so as not to be tired of writing and reading.

　　Alas, maybe I'm actually not suitable for writing novels, but I still feel a little bit reluctant to give up. After all, I have been writing for ten years. Let's stick to it and see when I can write.
