Lord Yuan

Chapter 27 Yuan Shao’s evaluation of Emperor Xiaohuan

After Yuan Shu reluctantly left the Yuan Mansion with an angry look on his face, Yuan Feng took Yuan Shao and sat down.

"Shao'er said before that today the emperor is ill. It can take at least one year or three years at most. Something will happen in the court. I don't know where I got such shocking news." Yuan Feng stared at Yuan Shao closely. With her eyes, she wanted to see something in his eyes.

Yuan Shao was as calm as water and just shook his head lightly: "Uncle, as the saying goes, secrets cannot be leaked. If you say such a big thing, your life will be shortened. I have paid a lot of money to find out from Fang Shi, and uncle never wants Shaoer to pay anything more. Bar."

Although Yuan Feng was confused about this and wanted to break the casserole and ask the truth, he couldn't say any more when he heard that Yuan Shao was actually involved in the ethereal alchemist.

"Shao'er is interested. If the court changes as you said, what will happen to the world's situation? How should I, the Yuan family, deal with myself?" Yuan Feng unknowingly regarded Yuan Shao as his successor. There is a sense of closeness in every word.

Yuan Shao smiled, how could he not know that his previous attitude towards Yuan Shu had shown everything.

For big men like them who lead a clan, how to make their family more prosperous and stronger is far more important than internal fighting.

Yuan Shu is a legitimate son, but he does not cultivate his moral character. He only knows how to treat a gentleman with a villain's heart. If the Yuan family is handed over to him, sooner or later, the Yuan family will be dragged into the endless abyss, and she will never be able to recover.

But Yuan Shao is completely different.

First, his identity has evolved from a concubine who did not inherit the family resources to his brother's legitimate son.

Although his elder brother died young, he was the eldest son of the Yuan family after all. If nothing unexpected happened, the head of the family would have fallen into the hands of his elder brother Yuan Cheng.

And now, Yuan Shao has become his brother's legitimate son, and he has naturally become the person closest to the pinnacle of power in the Yuan family, even if he is an adopted heir.

If Yuan Feng were to choose a family heir to entrust Yuan's future.

He may only choose between Yuan Ji and Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shu will be eliminated directly.

Naturally, Yuan Shao didn't know that at this moment, Yuan Feng, his biological father and uncle, was already secretly considering the future head of the Yuan clan.

"Uncle, I want to know, if the emperor dies and a new king is established, what will the Yuan family choose to do?"

Yuan Feng thought for a while, and at this time he no longer tried to catch Yuan Shao for talking about the emperor's faults.

He was thinking carefully about what Yuan Shao said.

The Yuan family has already multiplied like countless dense forests, and the towering trees are the result of the Yuan family's continuous layout over the years.

There are many roots and leaves, and intricate branches, running through the north and south of the river.

He went up to the emperor's court and went down to the local county magistrate.

Yuan's hands have already stretched out to reach everything.

Over the years, through the Yuan family's hard work, the Yuan family, which has already grown into a towering tree, has been further sublimated.

The world is full of disciples and old officials.

These words do not come from empty lips.

Such a behemoth would naturally arouse the fear of the emperor in Luoyang Court.

Although the emperor today is fatuous and incompetent, he is still an emperor with relative power after all.

Yuan Shao was deeply impressed by the emperor who now controlled the Han Dynasty and whose posthumous title was Xiaohuan.

Surrounded by a large number of relatives, she has no way out of the palace, and the queen Liang Nuying has no talent or virtue.

Xiaohuan, who had just ascended the throne, did not dare to go overboard at all. Even though the domineering general Liang Ji had just poisoned his predecessor, he still dared to be angry and dare not speak out.

In this almost hellish start, he was still walking on thin ice, fighting for the slightest chance to turn around.

He knew that he had to fight for this opportunity by himself. Liang Ji was authoritarian and domineering. He had been in the court for more than [-] years. He had no idea how many people in the inner palace were controlled by him.

Emperor Xiaohuan had no other choice. Taking advantage of Liang Nuying's death, the harem finally lost its previous high-pressure policy, and he could free up a hand to explore.

As for the lack of control of the queen in the harem, in addition to the concubines and maidens who hoped to gain the favor of the emperor, there was also the lack of precious eunuchs.

After all, women are timid in planning such big things. Emperor Xiaohuan thought about it, but it seemed that there was no one else who could help him except the eunuch.

Put yourself in their shoes, actually.If Yuan Shao was involved, he would face such powerful ministers and relatives who were so powerful and domineering that they could poison the emperor at will. Later, there would be a queen who relied on the authority of her relatives to poison the harem.

I'm afraid that he is powerless and can only let his relatives control him and act as a puppet for a period of time.

But Emperor Xiaohuan was not reconciled.

Ultimately, relying on these eunuchs.

He succeeded.

Liang Ji was executed and all his party members were cut off.

The officials cheered and the people secretly rejoiced.

however.

This is the ending where one tiger is eliminated and five wolves appear again.

Emperor Xiaohuan relied on eunuchs to regain control of the government, so he naturally wanted to reward the officials who had contributed to this plan.

The eunuchs collectively received the highest level of rewards.

together.

A new interest group, the eunuchs gathered together.

In order for this interest group to go further.

The eunuchs accused Li Ying and other officials of the DPRK of forming a party for personal gain, forming a faction, slandering the court, destroying customs and many other false accusations. Emperor Xiaohuan, who had planned to enjoy himself, was furious and ordered the whole country to arrest Li Ying and other so-called party officials. people.

This was the first disaster caused by party control.

Emperor Xiaohuan would go from being a puppet emperor who was cautious and walking on thin ice only to protect himself at the beginning, and then evolved into a cowardly and mediocre king who only knew how to enjoy himself and didn't care about the country and the country.

He is also just a relatively ordinary "guy."

The extremely high pressure that exists all the time before taking the throne, the harsh environment where you have to be controlled at all times, and you have to be careful whether your head has moved the next day, will inevitably lead to abnormal changes in a person's heart.

Emperor Xiaohuan was no exception. He was just a member of the same clan who was forcibly placed on the throne of the emperor.

In the late Eastern Han Dynasty, when the posthumous titles had not been greatly modified, the posthumous titles could still objectively reflect the emperor's life.

Liu Zhi's posthumous title Xiaohuan is enough to explain.

He was not an inactive emperor, but he also took the initiative to push the already shaky Han Dynasty to the edge of the cliff, from which it could never be saved.

And this, theoretically speaking, will no longer have anything to do with him after a year.

Liu Zhi, who made a comeback in the early stage, naturally has his unique ability to control the overall situation.

Yuan Feng knew very well that although the Yuan family had a great business and luxuriant branches and leaves, if the emperor was angry, he would eventually have to pay the price with blood.

Yuan Feng didn't want Yuan's efforts over the years to go to waste.

and so.

Every step he takes must be carefully considered.

This is a necessary responsibility as the leader of the Yuan clan.

And Yuan Feng wanted to see what Yuan Shao planned.

At the same time.

It is also something that a future clan leader must learn to do.

"Protect yourself wisely and wait for the right time."
