Yuan Shao, the father of Fanghua in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 474
Yuan Xi smelled the faint fragrance of Cai Zhaoji's body, and said: "In a place like Youzhou, I don't have much courage, and I'm afraid I will be wiped out in a few years."

"Although benevolence, morality and law are important means to maintain stability, in this fortress far away from the Central Plains and full of conflicts, forced by the harsh living environment, hands are more effective than words."

Cai Zhaoji sighed, "But what she did, isn't it a kind of retrogression?"

Yuan Xi said with a smile: "After the power and prestige that maintained the Han court collapsed, the whole world will not be much better."

"In troubled times, fists can not only protect yourself, but also make others listen to your reasoning."

"Although this is a kind of helplessness, even in peacetime, it is impossible to have no power at all."

Cai Zhaoji said: "But Gongsun Du obviously wants to dig a hole for you. He wants to stand on his own, but he doesn't show up for himself, but implies that you put up for him. Obviously he has bad intentions."

Yuan Xi smiled and said: "This man is indeed very good at planning. He only uses a few ports and wants me to go forward for him. I am afraid that if I really build a port city there, there will be troubles in the future. Block Samhan for him."

Cai Zhaoji covered her mouth with a smile and said, "The young master lost his business. First, he cleared the sea route for him, and then traded with him. Youzhou didn't get much benefit. Once he became self-reliant, he divided half of Youzhou. out."

"Pingzhou Mu? He really dared to think about it."

Yuan Xi said: "Gongsun Du is not inferior to Gongsun Zan in terms of vision or ambition. He sees that I can't break my face with him now, so he will do this. However, the two sides have just joined forces, so this method is too urgent. .”

Cai Zhaoji worried: "Then what should we do now, reject him?"

Yuan Xi shook his head, "It's okay, the port is just an addition, and it won't be too late to build it in a few years."

"He thought I was thinking about Liaodong, but he didn't know that I'm not interested in his area now."

"All I want is for him to block the Eastern Xianbei, Goguryeo and Sanhan in the past few years."

"He is so ambitious, sooner or later he will become king and expand his territory, but he can't fight on my side, so he naturally wants to expand in other directions."

"It just so happens that the Goguryeo and the Three Hans have evil intentions. Over the years, they have gradually eroded the land of the previous four counties of Hanting. It would be better if Gongsun Du beat them up first."

Cai Zhaoji worried: "If Gongsun Du grows stronger, won't he have more ideas about Youzhou?"

"This person acts very fiercely. I'm afraid it will be difficult to get any benefits from him. When the time comes, Youzhou will be watching him all the time. I'm afraid he will be restrained in doing things."

Yuan Xi smiled and said: "It's okay, just wait patiently, he won't live for a few years after all."

"After he dies, his heirs will definitely fight for the throne, and then they will have a chance."

"It's ridiculous to say that whether the family is prosperous or not depends on how long the head of the family can live."

After hearing this, Cai Zhaoji wondered, "My lord, can you really watch the stars?"

"Who did you learn this method from? Do you want to find a successor?"

Yuan Xi touched his nose in embarrassment, "This method can only be understood but not expressed in words, it all depends on feeling."

"It's not necessarily accurate, it depends on luck."

He prevaricated anyway, and covered up the talk, but suddenly remembered that Gongsun Du should have six or seven years to live, but Yuan Shao might only have four or five years.

If I predict that the Gongsun family will seize the throne, I am afraid that it will be staged in the Yuan family in advance. How should I choose then?

Thinking about it a few years ago, I thought I could prevent this kind of situation from happening, but I didn't expect to find out that none of the Yuan family's children was a fuel-efficient lamp when they really started to fight for the world.

He also thought about assassination, but unless the force of thunder killed both of them at the same time, it would be of no use at all, and it would only make the remaining one superior.

This kind of thing that harms others is not good for oneself, and it is easy to expose oneself. Yuan Xi gave up after thinking about it. There are so many foreign enemies who can't deal with it.

But even though he thought so, the real thoughts of the other two people were unknown.

Cai Zhaoji saw Yuan Xi was in a daze, and asked, "What are you thinking, my lord?"

Yuan Xi looked up with his face up. The advantage of the knee pillow was that he could see the rare scenery.

He stretched out his hand, and the heavy peaks made the wise man very happy, and said with a smile: "I'm thinking when Zhao Ji will give me a child too."

Cai Zhaoji blushed, and said in a low voice: "I am thinking about it, but I am afraid that someone will catch you."

"A few days ago, the Hedong Wei family sent a letter. Judging from the tone in the letter, it didn't seem like they were going to let it go."

Yuan Xi's face darkened, "They are very courageous, do they think I'm easy to bully?"

"It's likely that they are standing with Cao Cao, and they came to threaten me without fear. They are really brave."

There are different opinions on whether the Hedong Wei family is the descendant of Wei Qing, but it is undeniable that in the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Wei family was already a prominent family in Hedong. With Anyi, the prefecture of Hedong County, as its base camp, it managed painstakingly and became more and more powerful in the local area.

The fact that Cai Yong was able to marry Cai Zhaoji into the Wei family meant that the two parties were well matched, and that they were well matched in terms of reputation and status.

Yuan Xi asked: "Does Wei Zhongdao have an older brother, Wei covets Wei uncle?"

Cai Zhaoji was surprised and said: "You know it well, when I left that day, Wei Ke was in charge of the house."

Yuan Xi snorted coldly and said: "Back then they treated you harshly and forced you to leave home. They were making things worse. Now they still have the face to write to me and threaten me with your affairs. It's really life and death."

He naturally knew that Hou Shiwei was highly appreciated by Cao Cao, and now he heard that he had been conscripted by Cao Cao as a county magistrate. It is very likely that this letter was ordered by Cao Cao.

It is said that there is a very famous woman in the later generations of Wei, Wang Xizhi's calligraphy teacher and relative, Mrs. Wei.

Good calligraphy in ancient times is not easy to see, and the brushwork is kept secret, so it is not easy to pass on to others. Once you learn the correct brushwork and get high-level calligraphy, you will have the conditions to become a famous artist.

Cai Yong was originally a master of calligraphy in the late Han Dynasty, and Cai Zhaoji got his true biography. There are very few writers in the world who can stand shoulder to shoulder with Cai Zhaoji, and even Yuan Xi's mansion has benefited a lot.

Yuan Xi can't care about things that will happen a hundred years from now, and he doesn't have anything to do with any celebrities now. He just wants to solve Cai Zhaoji's identity issue as soon as possible.

Although Cai Zhaoji was forced to leave the house, she did not really sever ties with the Wei family after all. She taught as a teacher at Youzhou Free School, and her reputation spread far and wide, and her identity could not be hidden at all.

Wei did not know what means he had learned about this, but at the same time he also found out about the relationship between Cai Zhaoji and Yuan Xi, so he sent a letter, implying that Cai Zhaoji should return home.

Although Yuan Xi is very popular and powerful now, and the Wei family did not dare to offend easily, they still brought out the hat of etiquette, implying that if this matter were revealed, it would be bad for Yuan Xi's reputation.

Yuan Xi hated others threatening him the most, so he immediately torched the letter and sent back a very threatening letter.

He said that since he had sent troops to Anyi, he might not be unable to send troops a second time. Sili could come and go whenever he wanted, and he would definitely visit with Cai Zhaoji at that time.

Thinking of Yuan Xi's rather childish behavior, Cai Zhaoji couldn't help but smile: "My lord, are you serious?"

Yuan Xi smiled and said, "Why not?"

"As soon as this matter is over, I'll take you there and throw the divorce papers in their faces."

"I don't know where there is such a big face. Cao Cao recruited Wei Qi as a subordinate official, and Wei was eager to stand up for him. The exchange of benefits in the middle is really nasty."

"They really think I care about the reputation among the nobles?"

He suddenly remembered something: "I heard that Cao Cao was Cai Zhonglang's disciple, maybe he has been coveting you for a long time?"

"This man is lustful, is he trying to take his wife back?"

Cai Zhaoji blushed slightly, and said angrily, "Where did you go!"

"Is he worth a woman for me, so much trouble?"

Yuan Xi thought to himself, don't underestimate Cao Cao's lust, he is the one who hooked up with his son and the fierce general for whoring.

Although Yuan Xi thought he was not a serious person, he would be extremely concerned about his own interests when he struck, and would never get involved with women related to his subordinates. He hesitated for a long time about Mrs. Hou's matter, lest there would be unforeseen hidden dangers.

Yuan Xi stretched his waist, wrapped his arms around Cai Zhaoji's waist, turned over, threw Cai Zhaoji onto the bed, and said with a smile: "When the time comes, we will take the children with us, and we will piss them off."

Cai Zhaoji's face turned even redder, and she said softly, "It's still daytime, and someone will come in at any time, you are so courageous."

Yuan Xi said with a smile: "I've always been daring, Madam broke my throat, I"

He suddenly felt something, and casually stretched out a tube of bamboo slips to the window behind him, only to hear a slap and screams.

Cao Xian rubbed his forehead and popped out of the window in aggrieved voice, "How did you find me, my lord?"

Cai Zhaoji was ashamed, and hurriedly covered the opened skirt, and said angrily: "Cao Xian, your problem is getting worse and worse, be careful, I will report to Mrs. Huan!"

Cao Xian argued: "I didn't do it on purpose. I served you tea with good intentions. Who knew you would dare during the day?"

Cai Zhaoji's face turned red, and she was so choked up that she couldn't speak, Yuan Xi smiled at Cao Xian, "Didn't go through the door to serve tea, but through the window?"

"Come in, I'll show you something nice."

Cao Xian put the tea tray from the window on the table in the room, proudly said: "I will not be fooled by the young master. I know very well what the young master is planning."

"If I go in"

She suddenly noticed that Yuan Xi and Cai Zhaoji had playful expressions on their faces, and she felt something was wrong. Just as she was about to turn around, she was grabbed by the collar and lifted up.

She turned her head and saw that it was indeed Lu Lingqi, and said pitifully, "I knew that the method of concealing my breath that my wife taught me was tricky!"

"Why can't I hear Madam's footsteps, and others can detect me?"

Lu Lingqi proudly said: "You haven't become a teacher yet, so how can I reveal the truth."

"Go ahead and make amends with your husband." After speaking, she carried Cao Xian inside.

Cao Xian waved his hands anxiously, "Madam, Madam, don't want it, if you go in, everyone will be finished!"

Lu Lingqi said contemptuously: "I won't be deceived by you, you are the one who needs to be taught a lesson, why everyone?"

Cai Zhaoji couldn't help sighing as she watched Lu Lingqi come in carrying Cao Xian, and then closed the door behind her.

This Mrs. Lu is really pure in her mind.

I'm afraid that what happens in a while will teach her a lesson.

Not long after, the woman's shy and suppressed gasps came from inside the room.

After an unknown amount of time, Lu Lingqi stood up and straightened her clothes, angrily said to Yuan Xi: "You kindly want to help you, and you will repay your kindness!"

At this time, Cao Xian smiled the most proudly, "What do you mean by throwing yourself into a trap?"

Seeing Cai Zhaoji who was still panting, Lu Lingqi finally understood why there was a huge bed in the study.

Husband, this perverted tiger, really knows how to play!
