Lord Yuan

Chapter 107 Yuan Shao was arrested,
"By acting like this, I'm not afraid of being despised by everyone in the world."

Xu You was filled with indignation, his raised eyebrows turned, and his pupils suddenly shrank, full of disgust.

As if he didn't expect Xu You to have such a big reaction, Yin Xun, who had taken a break, immediately left his place, walked quickly to Xu You, and picked up the so-called edict.

Yin Xun, who had always been calm and indifferent, now became angry, with veins on his head exposed, and he was holding the edict tightly in his hand as if he wanted to destroy it.

"Could it be that Cao Zhongchang's behavior was because of what he said the day before yesterday?" Yin Xun's face was extremely ugly. He frowned and glanced at the silent Temple Prison Captain behind Cao Jie, and the throbbing in his heart became more and more crazy. Sheng.

Cao Jie shook his head with a smile, stretched out his finger and pointed at the top of his head: "I am not like you, my regular servant, who hides everything in his heart without saying a word."

"A certain person repays a favor on the same day, and never overnights a grudge. Yuan Pushe gave a lot of inspiration to the regular servant in this book that day."

"The easier it is to ignore the point, the more energy you need to invest to prevent its resurgence from causing greater destruction, such as you, Yuan Pushe."

Cao Jie smiled and turned cold, and the sarcasm on his lips made everyone feel angry.

"The regular servants in Cao Zhong will do whatever they want, and all the subordinate officials will take over. There is no need to get entangled with irrelevant people here."

Yuan Shao suddenly spoke.

He could see it.

This Cao Jie came well prepared and with the emperor's will. If he said that he did not plan this action carefully, he would not believe it even to death.

Xu You has always seen big winds and waves, and is far-sighted. He has never frowned at trivial matters, but now he took the initiative to speak, with uncontrollable anger on his face.

That edict must have a purpose that was so unfavorable to him that even Xu You couldn't write it down.

Yuan Shao thought about it, and it was just that he would be arrested and imprisoned, handed over to the Tingwei for review and then sent to prison, or that Cao Jie would directly take him to the Huangmen North Temple Prison with his decree.

Thinking back to the posture of the captain of the Huangmen North Temple Prison behind him who was ready to try, it was obvious that Cao Jie had planned to send himself to that prison to torture himself again.

Yuan Shao also didn't expect that the cunning Cao Jie would directly choose to draw fire from the bottom of the cauldron.

Yuan Shao's eyes were stunned for a moment. Fortunately, he had a strong ability to adjust his emotions and he regained his composure in an instant.

"Don't you know that Yuan Pushe is now a famous figure in Luoyang? If you arrest him and imprison him like this, won't you incur the indignation of the world and jointly file a memorial?"

Yin Xun's tone gradually became less calm, and the eyes he looked at Cao Jie were full of anger.

Cao Jie burst out laughing suddenly, looking crazy. After a long time, he stopped, and then looked at Yuan Shao with a very mocking look: "The so-called model in the world? Haha, morality is just for restraint. You pedantic people, who are willing to give up everything, still care about these floating things."

"I will never offend anyone, because anyone who offends me will be tried in various ways."

"When we last met, I gave you a chance, but you didn't choose to cherish this opportunity. As a result, I can only act in an abnormal way."

Yuan Shao laughed when he heard this and stared at Cao Jie who seemed to be standing on the commanding heights.

Cao Jie was shocked by this sudden smile. If he remembered correctly, the last time Yuan Shao showed this look was when he started to decline.

"In order to deal with me, a little servant like me, Mr. Zhongchang mobilized so many troops, and even His Majesty's imperial edict can be easily obtained. In this case, why did Mr. Zhongchang leave those inducing words last time?"

A hint of panic quickly appeared in Yuan Shao's indifferent eyes. This sudden attack was completely unexpected, but he couldn't be frightened when facing Cao Jie at this time. With an expressionless face, he swept towards Cao Jie quietly like a sculpture.

"No one's promise counts. Only what you can control counts. And now, unfortunately, I have no intention of fulfilling my promise." Cao Jie stopped talking nonsense to avoid adding to the misfortune.

Yuan Shao is really full of tricks, and he might have a lot of ideas hidden in his belly right now.

"Is Yin Shangshu Ling willing to write the edict in person? If not, I will take Yuan Pushe directly to Beisi Prison, and we will make up the procedures in the future."

"The regular waiter is here, why don't you do more? Why are you so anxious?"

"No need, the night is long and there are many dreams. I would like to fulfill His Majesty's orders as soon as possible so that I can go back and deliver my errands. Yin Shangshu ordered me to say no more and come back to see you in the future."

Cao Jie said no more and waved his hand. The people behind him were all tall and powerful.

The captain in black clothes and silver belt said softly: "Yuan Pushe, just go with the officials and others."

The men stepped forward and blocked Yin Xun, Xu You and Yuan Shao, forming a pedestrian wall.

Cao Jie said with a smile: "There is no need to bother you. Yin Shangshuling is unwilling to obey His Majesty's will. I will put in a few good words for you. Your Majesty will definitely be happy to have a minister like you. I can't say that Long It may not be wrong for Yan Dayue to reward you and reunite you."

After saying that, Cao Jie called the captain: "Let's go to Beisi Prison."

"No." After receiving the order, the captain whispered in Yuan Shao's ear that he was offended and moved his hands. In the blink of an eye, Yuan Shao had changed from a servant of the minister to a prisoner.

As for the length of the sentence, it all depends on when His Majesty will be happy, or if he remembers that there is still a servant in Beisi Prison.

From the current situation, it is obvious that Cao Jie has won an overwhelming victory. In the face of His Majesty's will, Yin Xun and Xu You cannot express all their grievances. In a sense, this is not the will of Emperor Liu Hong. , but Cao Jie, who pretended to be powerful, took advantage of His Majesty's youth and used clever words and tricks to coax him into setting up this imperial edict.

In fact, Yin Xun knew these things very well in his heart, but he had no choice but to watch as Cao Jie was in high spirits, detained Yuan Shao as if he had won a battle, and turned to leave the Chancellor's desk.

It's like a dream.

The day before yesterday, Luoyang was famous as a role model in the world, and the world was full of praise for him. What he did was to boost the spirit of the world.

Yuan Shao's actions made the world understand that eunuchs are not invincible. They must learn angles and learn to win with wisdom instead of using brute force to destroy.

However, for such a talented man from Luoyang, he was famous for a while, but in front of a powerful eunuch who wielded great power, a mere word of His Majesty's decree could instantly invalidate the fame that Yuan Shao had worked so hard to create.

Yuan Shao never expected that Cao Jie could be so cunning and cunning.

In other words, my planning was not precise enough. In this seemingly smokeless struggle, I seemed to have won a short victory, and also won the most precious time needed to raise my hope.

But being dazzled by the momentary victory, he forgot that Cao Jie was not like other people.

Cao Jie was now at his most powerful period. He appointed a new king and promoted him to the Marquis of Chang'an Township. He was also given the title of Captain of Che and the most important title of Zhong Chang Shi.

In fact, even compared to the Taifus who are above the Three Dukes and are in charge of all the country, Cao Jie is not inferior to Chen Fan except that he is not as capable as Chen Fan in handling government affairs and recruiting learned people from all over. The situation is even showing a crushing trend.

Now that it fell into the hands of Cao Jie, Yuan Shao was not too worried that his life would be harmed.

After all, the emperor's edict specifically stated that he could only be pardoned if he knelt down and worshiped his majesty.

But this physical pain cannot be alleviated at all.

Yuan Shao secretly regretted that he was still too smooth and had reached his current position without encountering many setbacks, but he had lost his respect for the ancients. "Shang Shuling just watched Cao Jie take Ben Chu away?" Xu You was extremely angry. Seeing Yuan Shao being taken away and unable to know the specific situation, he suddenly lost his mind.

He was so arrogant that he even wanted to pull out a sword and stab it into the body of Cao Jie who was pressing closer and harder, giving him a chill.

"Then Cao Jie carries His Majesty's imperial edict. If I don't respect it, I don't know what reason Cao Jie will use to slander His Majesty. It is also extremely important for me to keep the position of Shangshu Ling from falling into the hands of eunuchs." Yin Xun heard this. Frowning, he didn't expect that Cao Jie was so shameless. Not only did he bully the small, but he even used small tricks secretly to make him unable to refute.

"Haha, Shangshu Ling means to let Benchu ​​fend for himself." Xu You sneered.

"Then Cao Jie originally hated Benchu ​​extremely, and now he will definitely torture him severely when he seizes the opportunity. Although Benchu ​​is practicing martial arts day by day, he will definitely not be able to withstand such torture."

Xu You became more and more frustrated and simply threw his butt directly to the ground.

Thinking of Cao Jie's insidious and cunning appearance before, Xu You felt that the anger in his chest had nowhere to vent.

This Emperor Lao Shizi was in dire straits for Zhongliang. Instead, he sat back and watched eunuchs like Cao Jie grow up and mastered the power of the country. He was really stupid and unfathomable.

If I have enough soldiers and generals in my hands now, with my original reputation and my strategy, I can overthrow the dog emperor, so why not change it to someone else?

Xu You was furious, regretting that he had no strength in his hands, and now he could only watch Yuan Shao being arrested.

Xun Chen suddenly said at this time: "Why don't you go see the Taifu? I'm sure the Taifu will not ignore death."

Xu You seemed to have received a life-saving straw. Light suddenly appeared in his dazed eyes. He quickly got up and muttered: "Yes, Taifu, Taifu. If Taifu doesn't want to, then You will go and see him." I see that my servant is originally a descendant of the Yuan family, but now that he is in trouble, how can the Yuan family not help him?"

"No, Yuan Jun has always been named after his teacher. In Luoyang, he never considered himself a descendant of the Yuan family. Even when Yuan Gongdao became the general of Hu Ben Zhonglang, Yuan Jun could have sought promotion as a descendant of the Yuan family, but he always There is a reason why you don't want to take it personally." Xun Chen was thoughtful, and suddenly an idea struck him.

"His teacher, Li Jun, is now the Young Master of Yongle and one of the three ministers in the Queen Mother's palace. Naturally, he can get close to the Queen Mother. If he is desperate, he will go to Li Jun and ask for his help. Yuan Jun is his student, so he will naturally be happy to help."

Xu You's eyes became brighter: "Then let's go find the Taifu first and see what he says."

Yin Xun couldn't get a word in for a while. He felt quite moved when he saw these two people busying themselves with Yuan Shao'an without slacking off at all.

This is pure friendship.

But Xu You always treated him with an unpleasant attitude, which annoyed Yin Xun.

Young people are young people after all and do not understand its hidden plans.

Compared with Yuan Shao being imprisoned, although he was a talented man for a while and had outstanding talents and learning, he would definitely be able to reach the status of Sangong and Jiuqing in the future, but now he has failed to grow up. How can one person compete with Cao Jie.

Just like what Cao Jie said.

Yuan Shaozhi's reputation was rare in the world at his age. He was already well-known in Luoyang when he was more than [-] years old. At this time, most scholars had not yet clearly understood the classics, and they were empty and ignorant.

However, this extremely important reputation in the eyes of scholars was not worth mentioning in the eyes of eunuchs like Cao Jie, as worthless as dung.

Eunuchs can abandon even the most important treasures, and this moral condemnation has no lethal effect on them.

Xu You didn't understand the truth. Yin Xun just thought that he was blinded by anger and didn't care about his nonsense.

When they arrived at the Taifu's Mansion, the Taifu was out on business, so Xu You and the other two could only wait outside the house. Fortunately, Yin Xun specially handed over the official seal of his Shangshu Ling to Xun Chen for safekeeping.

Otherwise, facing the crowded and bustling street in front of him, Xu You really didn't know how to get in.

I don't know how long it took, but the sky turned from bright to dark, and Xu You and the others did not leave, they were still guarding not far from the gate of the mansion.

When they saw Taifu's chariot approaching slowly, Xu You and Xun Chen didn't care that their shirts were already covered in yellow sand, and rushed all the way to Chen Fan's chariot.

The guards had serious faces, and the weapons in their hands shone with a cold light, which was breathtaking.

Xu You shouted loudly: "I hope Taifu will save Ben Chu!"

Xun Chen shouted loudly beside him, but at this critical moment, he couldn't be restrained.

When the guards saw that the two of them dared to say anything to disturb them, they immediately dismounted from their horses. The swords in their hands were already placed on Xu You's neck. If they dared to speak more, they would be red.

Xu Youke ignored that and started arrogantly. He still exclaimed loudly, hoping to attract Chen Fan's attention.

The guards saw that this man didn't know whether to live or die, and dared to harass the Taifu. However, they saw that he was not afraid of the sword at his neck, as if he didn't care about life and death, and the guards were a little hesitant.

This was the first time he met such a person who was not afraid of death, and it was also the first time he met someone who dared to stop Tai Fu from driving his car.

Perhaps it was the voice that caught Taifu's attention, or maybe it was the word "original" that Xu You kept saying.

I saw the car driving up and the curtain opened.

"What's wrong with Benchu? You two are Xu Youxunchen, right?" Chen Fan looked tired, but his eyes were full of worry. He saw that the guard was still hanging the sword on Xu You's neck, even wearing a silk thread. There was a trace of blood, and his face suddenly turned uglier.

"Put it away!" Chen Fan yelled angrily.

Xu You got rid of the restraints, flew up, and came to the driver.

"Master, please save Ben Chu." The anxiety in Xu You's eyes was palpable, and he couldn't stop pulling the curtain of the car with his hands.

Chen Fan looked puzzled and said: "What about Benchu?"

"This morning, with the emperor's imperial edict, the regular servant Cao Jie, followed by the captain of the Huangmen North Temple Prison and dozens of jailers, detained Ben Chu to the Huangmen North Temple Prison."

Chen Fan looked at Xu You's lips turned white from puckering, and thin cold sweat broke out one after another on his wrinkled forehead, like a stream, and his eyes were darting around uneasily.

Looking at Xun Chen on the side, although he was not as irritable as Xu You, he bit his lips unconsciously, rubbed his hands back and forth, and kept pacing in place with his feet.

After understanding the ins and outs of the matter, Chen Fan's eyes suddenly became much calmer. He glanced at the sky and saw that it was almost evening.

"Enter the house, I'll have a good discussion."

The car was driving in front, and Xu You and the others followed closely behind, for fear of being pulled down.

With Taifu's intervention, Xu You and the two entered Taifu's residence without any hindrance.

"I just had a meeting with the general during the day, but Cao Jie has quietly attacked and detained Ben Chu. Is there any connection between them?"
