Yuan Shao, the father of Fanghua in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 714 Dilemma
Compared with Xiao Qiao, Mrs. Liu had been in contact with Mrs. Feng for a longer time. Knowing that this woman had a weird personality, she quickly said: "Madam, I'm afraid she is mistaken. If you had intended it at that time, you would have already said it when you met Madam for the first time." It’s time to show something, Madam, think about it, was such a thing possible at that time?”

Feng raised her head and thought for a moment, then shook her head slightly, "That's true. The way you looked at me at that time, it seemed that you didn't have any distracting thoughts."

She clapped her palms, pointed at Xiao Qiao and said, "Yes, sisters are far better than concubines, so Yuan Shijun still didn't take action."

"It seems that I am in love with myself. How can I get into the face of the prince with my body like a flower and a willow?"

Da Qiao is speechless, do you think you can talk like this?
What's going on in your head?
Xiao Qiao lost her voice and said: "Is that so?"

"No wonder you didn't treat my sister and me with pretentious remarks when you lived in Qiao's house. It turns out you didn't like us?"

Da Qiao secretly vomited blood, hey, that's all Feng, sister, have you become stupid too?

Is this thoughtless talk contagious?
But she didn't notice the slight feeling of loss in her heart. Was Yuan Xi really not interested in her at all?
But looking back at his words and his own, they were not like the attitude towards strangers. They should be somewhat special to him, right?
She couldn't help but pat her cheeks, causing the girls to look towards her, which made Da Qiao's face feel hot. Knowing that she had lost her composure, she quickly lowered her head.

As a result, Mrs. Feng spoke again at this time, "It seems that Yuan Shijun is really a gentleman."

"Originally, I thought about escaping from death so that I could not repay you for your life-saving grace, so I stayed and waited for you to come back. Now that you have no such intention, I should leave in a few days, otherwise I would be shameless and stay here. This is also causing trouble for Mrs. Liu."

Mrs. Liu hurriedly said: "My husband is the sworn brother of the envoy, and it is my duty to take care of my wife. But now that the war is in chaos, where can my wife go?"

Feng thought for a while and said, "It's a bit difficult. Why don't we sell some clothes and jewelry?"

When Mrs. Liu saw that Ms. Feng was serious about leaving, she felt anxious. Ms. Feng really thought she could leave now if she wanted to?

She hurriedly said: "We will consider this matter in the long term. Maybe I will bring you back to Shouchun after a while. How about Madam telling him in person?"

After hearing this, Ms. Feng temporarily gave up her thoughts and nodded. Xiao Qiao asked curiously: "Madam said that I would repay the kindness of saving my life. How can I do it again?"

"Is Madam good at music, chess, calligraphy and painting, or is she good at dancing and singing to please you?"

Feng looked at Xiao Qiao with a strange expression, "Is this what my sister thinks?"

"This idea has taken us in a big circle."

As soon as Feng said this, the interest of the girls was aroused. Xiao Qiao said enthusiastically: "What Madam said must be inspiring!"

"Please give me some advice, madam!"

Feng clasped her fingers and said seriously: "Think about it, when a man appreciates a woman's talent in singing and dancing, on the one hand, he appreciates the woman's talent, and on the other hand, it creates a desire to possess her."

"In the end, a man's desire for those outstanding women is to get them completely."

"So no matter what a woman does, the last step is to lie on the bed."

"In that case, why bother spending so much time? Why not just lie on the bed in the first place?"

"I'm very lazy. When you come, I'll go to bed. If he doesn't like me, I'll leave. If it's the opposite, I'll repay you with my body."

Mrs. Liu and Xiao Qiao were stunned. Xiao Qiao stammered: "Madam was once a queen, how could she make such vulgar remarks?"

Feng said: "After I almost died once, I thought about it for a long time and gradually figured out some things."

"Queen, this is a status obtained by relying on men. People respect me because of the position of queen, not because I am the queen."

"Without the title of Queen, I am nothing. With the destruction of the Yuan family, my false identity has long been tattered."

"As soon as Mr. Yuan was defeated, the other concubines dared to plot against me. At this time, I have long been no different from others."

"Strip away the false reputation, I am just an ordinary woman who once fled and fell into poverty. What can I give back to others, apart from the little beauty left in my body, is there anything else?"

Da Qiao was in a complicated mood and comforted him: "Madam, why should you be so contemptuous? The defeat of Yuan Gongli, the Fourth and Third Duke, cannot be changed by Madam."

Feng said seriously: "No, it's impossible for me to not know anything about what he did."

"The reason for its defeat is that none of the Yuan clan can escape, and the same goes for me."

"Previously, I used the false name of queen and just wanted to escape and survive. I enjoyed the glory and wealth, but also suffered the backlash. Therefore, I can only say that I have brought it on myself."

After hearing Feng's words, everyone fell silent for a moment. Feng's experience was completely different from everyone else's, so no one could imagine how she became what she is now.

But Feng's words sounded a warning to them. What would happen if they were unable to control themselves and fell into the hands of others?

If they were Feng, would they still be as calm and composed as they are now?Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit depressing, Ms. Feng comforted everyone and said, "Madam and the two girls have a bright future, so there is no need to be affected by my words."

"The dishonest person I entrusted to you is already in ruins. I am willing to give you this dirty body, but others may not be willing to take it."

"Both Yuan Shijun and Governor Lu are famous young talents in the world. Their futures are promising and limitless, so there is still a lot you can do."

Xiao Qiao said softly: "What about Madam?"

"Is there nothing you want to do, madam?"

Feng was stunned for a moment, then laughed at herself: "In this world, it's very difficult for women to do what they want to do."

The girls were unknowingly infected by Feng, and thought of the sad realization that they did not want to face, and the atmosphere became dull for a while.

In Yecheng, Jizhou, Yuan Shang was sitting in his official residence. He had just sent away his mother Liu who was chattering away. He felt tired and closed his eyes to rest.

Mrs. Liu was very dissatisfied with Yuan Shang's sending troops south to Yanzhou. She felt that this move was doing Yuan Xi a favor and Yuan Shang would not get much benefit at all. In her opinion, she should find a way to kill Yuan Tan, unify Qingzhou, and then merge the states. Gao Gan captured Yuan Xi's Youzhou and unified the Central Plains.

Yuan Shang was so confused by Mrs. Liu's quarrel that he couldn't explain the pros and cons to Ms. Liu, so he had to finally say: "Mom, I may not even be able to beat my brother now."

"And the dispatch of troops this time was unanimously decided by the counselors. I will explain it to my mother in detail later."

After hearing this, Ms. Liu had no choice but to give up. She took Yuan Shang's hand and said, "Son, your father has passed away. Now we are the only ones left. You must realize clearly that my mother is the one who really stands." On your side."

Yuan Shang said helplessly: "Don't worry, Mom, I can spare it."

After hearing this, Mrs. Liu walked out with confidence. After walking a few steps, she turned around and wrote lightly: "By the way, those few concubines your father left behind are usually the demon Qiao Qiao, who is always there. Thinking of seducing your father, I suspect that your father's condition worsened because of them."

Yuan Shang heard this and said, "Didn't I kick him out of the mansion and find another place for him to live, so as not to make my mother unhappy?"

Mrs. Liu said happily: "Of course I know, but when I think of these foxy people harming your father, I get very angry."

"So the day before yesterday, I asked your personal guards to go over and chop those vixens to death."

Yuan Shang's expression froze. Kill them all?
You know, if Mrs. Liu wants to kill these concubines, she will kill them. After all, Mrs. Liu is the mistress and her status is legitimate.

But although these concubines are slaves, to Yuan Shangshang, his father's concubines are also elders, and it is Yuan Shang's personal guards who take action. This lets the people of Yecheng know how they will criticize him?

Killing father and maidservant indiscriminately?

Yuan Shang's head is getting big. He has just taken over the position of the head of the Yuan family, and he is still trying to create an image of magnanimity and benevolence towards others. If this matter spreads, won't his efforts during this period be ruined?
Is this how my mother tricked me?

But now that the matter was over, he could only wave his hand feebly and said: "Mom, please go back first, I still have official business to do."

Mrs. Liu, who was so proud of the spring breeze, didn't even notice Mrs. Yuan's entanglement, and went out happily, leaving Yuan Shang messy in the wind.

It wasn't until Liu's back disappeared for a long time that Yuan Shang punched the table hard.

After he became the head of the Yuan family, he realized how heavy the burden was on his shoulders!
When Yuan Shao was alive, Yuan Shang did not need to make decisions on many things, so many extremely difficult decisions were blocked at Yuan Shao's level.

At that time, Yuan Shang was even thinking that he might be able to do better than Yuan Shao, and since there was no one restricting him at that time, he could do whatever he wanted, and he would definitely be more comfortable!
After Yuan Shao's death, when Yuan Shang began to take over the power, he discovered that things were not that simple.

As a lord, the most important skill is to distinguish what is the truth and what is a lie.

This is an eternal problem for those who are superiors.

Because the channels through which he obtains information are his subordinates and subordinates, and it is also these people who make suggestions.

As a result, problems arise.

If the subordinates have ulterior motives and start to deceive the superiors from whether the news is true or false, how can the superiors tell the difference?
Yuan Shang has been thinking about this problem, but until now, he has not figured it out. This is why this problem has troubled countless high-ranking officials, including the emperor, for thousands of years.

Because they rely on their officials to collect information and get things done, but at the same time they also have a sense of fear.

Are you in an information cocoon specially created by these officials, where you can only see what they want you to see and what they want you to hear?
Therefore, the superiors rely on their subordinates while guarding against them. As subordinates, although their life and death may be determined by the superiors, they will also take risks because of various huge interests.

The biggest headache for Yuan Shang now is that after the death of his most trusted Pang Ji, there is no one around him who he can completely trust.
