Yuan Shao, the father of Fanghua in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 476 The New Year

As soon as Liu Xie said this, the officials were uproarious, but Liu Xie didn't give them a chance to speak again, and continued: "I have another reward, let him send a son to receive it."

After everyone heard this, their hearts trembled. Liu Xie had to operate this edict, and lightly put the pressure back on Gongsundu's shoulders.

Sending sons as hostages is also a common operation of the Han court for the officials of the border, even the sons of the clan are no exception. The sons of Liu Yan and Liu Yu have all had such experiences, and Gongsun Du has no legitimate reason to refuse.

Right now, Liu Xie has already set out a condition, no matter whether the other party believes in the king with a different surname or not, he must express something, and what Liu Xie depends on is not only Gongsun Du's attitude, but also the thoughts of Youzhou, right?
All the ministers looked at each other. Although the rule handed down after Gaozu is that different surnames do not belong to the king, in fact, this rule has been broken several times in the past few hundred years. Now the world is in chaos. It's not that I haven't done it, but it's nothing compared to it.

Now that Liu Xie had made up his mind, everyone had no choice but to follow the order. Kong Rong took advantage of the situation and took the opportunity to scold Cao Cao with his brother Zhang Miao, who was already an official in the court, and quarreled with the Cao faction supporters on the spot.

The court meeting came to an end amidst the lively scolding. The officials of the Yongcao faction saw Kong Rong and the others leaving the hall triumphantly.
At the beginning, Bian Rang preached to others that Cao Cao plagiarized his poems, and in the end his whole family was killed. Do you really think that the emperor is safe?
It was already half a month after the edict was passed on to Youzhou, and the Chinese New Year was coming soon, and a grand Spring Festival celebration was being held in Jicheng.

As the new administrative seat of Youzhou, Jicheng had a grand celebration in its first year. At this time, the fortification has not yet been completed. Jicheng is just a large area surrounded by a simple city wall that is only two or three people high. It looks like a huge city. villages and towns.

But this is the case, because many refugees have been taken in, the population has also grown in a stepwise manner, coupled with the rich water system around, the city has ships carrying goods and food in and out day and night, which is full of vitality, and everything is competing. The appearance of hair.

Yuan Xi took his family members to sacrifice to Yuan's ancestral hall. He looked up at Yuan Ji's name on the spirit tablet on the incense case earlier, and his mood was quite complicated. He and Qi had never met before, but they were the son of each other. I have to say, The Han system really created the code of conduct for the Chinese nation for thousands of years.

After the sacrifice, the women followed Yuan Xi out of the ancestral hall, and when they heard the noise from the street outside, they all showed expressions of eagerness to try.

Yuan Xi met and learned that the people seldom went out, so he arranged several carriages for him to go out of the mansion under the protection of Sun Li.

However, he didn't go out of the house, but came to the study to check the letters sent to Youzhou in the past few days.

When he saw Liu Xie's edict, he couldn't help admiring the little emperor. He grew up very fast, and he acted more and more like a son of heaven.

But because of this, his good days may not last long.

Cao Cao would never allow an emperor with the image of a wise emperor to grow up.

In later generations, after the emperor moved to Xu County, the two sides continued to fight openly and secretly within half a year. Even if Liu Xie arrived in Xu County at that time, Cao Cao did not control the Han court, but was restrained a lot.

Cao Cao entered Luoyang in the name of "contribution", and when he arrived in Xu County, he was "below reporting to the public", commonly known as being in charge of food.

Prior to this, Liu Xie and his subordinates had a very difficult time in Luoyang. According to the records of the Later Han Dynasty, "the group of officials were hungry, and Shang Shulang and others went out to pick weeds, and either died of hunger or were killed by soldiers."

Therefore, Liu Xie was quite grateful for Cao Cao's arrival, and responded to Cao Cao's requests, but also retained his relatively independent administrative system.

For example, Cao Cao said that Han Siam Zhang Yang was guilty, and Han Siam fled in fright. Cao Cao accepted Han Siam's previous official position with a smile. Surrender your power.

But after that, it happened that Cao Cao cleaned up the ruling and opposition parties.

"Book of the Later Han Dynasty Benji Ji Xiaoxian Emperor Ji" records that Cao Cao killed his servant Taichong, Shangshu Feng Shuo and so on.Dong Cheng, the general of the guard, was appointed as the general of the auxiliary country, Fu Wan and other 13 people were made marquises, and Ju Jun was given as the prefect of Hongnong.

The latter sentence is easy to understand. The title of official and marquis must have been done by the emperor, while the previous murder was specifically marked by Cao Cao.

Taichong and Huchong, who were of the same family as Hushou sent by the Han court before, had no reason to cut off his own arm. It could only be that Cao Cao started to gain power for some purpose.

But didn't Han Xiandi become soft from then on?
No, in the later world, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty was an extremely stubborn person. He persisted until September of the 20th year of Jian'an, 20 years later, before he issued an edict.

"The emperor ordered the public to inherit the system and worship the princes to guard the prime minister."

That is to say, it was not until 20 years later that Liu Xie completely gave up the fight with Cao Cao, handed over the power of the emperor to rule and appoint officials and confer titles to Cao Cao, and admitted his failure.

Prior to this, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty insisted on not delegating power even if all the trusted female relatives around him were killed, just betting his life that Cao Cao would not dare to do anything to him.

So for an extremely stubborn person like Liu Xie, Yuan Xi didn't want to control him at all at first, but let him do things freely, because he knew that the more he was forced, the greater Liu Xie's reaction would be.

Cao Cao in this life may take a long time and do a lot of things to get to the bottom line of Liu Xie. During this process, he and Liu Xie gradually turned against each other and finally broke up completely.

Yuan Xi thought for a while, and started to play the inscription, but after writing it several times, he felt that the wording was not suitable, so he simply threw the inscription aside, and began to write a letter to Lu Bu.

He warned Lu Bu to be careful of Cao Cao's recent actions. If Cao Cao wanted to find out Liu Xie's bottom line, he might use ministers and ministers to test him. This behavior is very dangerous, so Yuan Xi could only warn Lu Bu in advance.

After he finished writing, he hesitated for a while, and wrote another letter to Kong Rong.

Yuan Xi also had rumors about the emperor's court. In his opinion, Kong Rong was too stubborn. Isn't this a proper way to seek death?
He wrote a few strokes, always feeling awkward, what is his relationship with Kong Rong, the other party may not appreciate writing this letter, right?
I'm afraid it's for the sake of his wife and daughter that I meddle in other people's business?

After all, if Kong Rong was really killed, his family members might not escape death either.

But it's hard to persuade the damn ghost, according to Kong Rong's temper, even if he escaped this time, he will not escape the next time. Although Yuan Xi knows what happened in the future, he is impossible and has no ability to save them one by one. Can only do our best.

Suddenly the door was knocked several times, Yuan Xi responded, opened the door and saw that it was Zhen Mi who was holding the child, and wondered, "Why did you come back so soon?"

Zhen Mi smiled and said: "I always think about my children, and I can't enjoy myself while playing, so I just don't go shopping, anyway, there will be opportunities in the future."

Yuan Xi carefully took the swaddle from Zhen Mi's arms, and found that she was obediently shrinking her hands, staring at herself, her small face was slightly flushed by the winter's cold, and couldn't help laughing out loud.

The two sat side by side on the bed, listening to the wind whistling outside the window, Zhen Mi asked doubtfully: "I feel that this year is extraordinarily cold?"

Yuan Xi sighed: "It may be getting colder and colder."

He briefly talked about the climate change in the next ten years, and finally said: "The next Youzhou is not peaceful, so I am also a little anxious, thinking that at least within three years, a multi-layer defense line will be initially established in Youzhou , to prevent alien invasion."

"I am now in a state, and I don't have the energy to repair the Great Wall, let alone support tens of thousands of troops, so I have been keeping Youzhou's troops below [-]. It will be better."

Zhen Mi wondered, "Since my husband has foreseen it, why didn't he choose the relatively safe Yijing as the governing place? After all, it is backed by Jizhou, so even if foreigners go south, they will have more time to react."

Yuan Xi smiled and said, "Madam is right, but I'm afraid Yecheng will not be safe within a few years."

Zhen Mi suddenly opened her eyes wide, the long eyelashes made her pupils brighter, "Is Yecheng not safe?"

"Isn't that the world is in chaos?"

Yuan Xi's heart is similar, at least for the people of Yecheng, it can be said that it is tragic.

He said: "Don't worry, I will try my best to stop it."

Zhen Mi listened, smiled, and leaned her head on Yuan Xi's shoulder, "My husband's words, no matter when you hear them, they are reassuring."

She shook the sleeping child in her arms, and said softly, "Have you decided on a name for the child?"

Yuan Xi had a headache, he couldn't name this child Yuan Rui, could he?

This is so weird!

He had a headache and said, "Let me think about it again."

Zhen Mi pursed her lips slightly, "I know, you named Mrs. Wu's child Yuan Qian first."

Yuan Xi sweated profusely, "I saw Mrs. Wu last night, and I got excited by chance, so I cut my name."

"Our child has not been named for a long time, isn't it prudent."

Only then did Zhen Mi's eyes bend, "I'm teasing my husband, seeing that my husband is making you nervous."

She lowered her voice, "Looking at Madam Wu's appearance, I'm afraid I still want to leave."

"Husband didn't stay?"

Yuan Xi sighed: "I can't force others to do what they want, after all, the palms and backs of both hands are full of flesh."

"However, this matter should not be rushed. After all, Jiangdong will undergo some changes in the next year, and she may not be able to leave."

Zhen Mi asked curiously, "Change?"

"Jiangdong is now dominated by Yuan Gonglu's family. Even Ben Chugong can't easily defeat him?"

"Sun Bofu, Yuan Gonglu's capable subordinate, occupies Yangzhou. I heard that the governance there is quite good. At least it's safer than Youzhou, right?"

Yuan Xi smiled and said, "Just walk and watch."

The first year of Jian'an ended in a short period of peace, but Yuan Xi's words became a prophecy, and something happened in Jiangdong.

Yuan Shu finally couldn't hold back anymore.

In the second year of Jian'an (197), Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor in Shouchun.

After Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor, he appointed the prefect of Jiujiang as Yin of Huainan, appointed public officials and courtiers widely, and built an altar for the emperor to worship the Emperor of Heaven in the south of the city and north of the city.

As soon as this move came out, the world was shocked.
