Three Kingdoms: I will act as a substitute for the Hunjun

Chapter 36 The Yuan family’s plan

Everyone hurriedly followed the sound and saw a person hurriedly walking in at the door. It was Yuan Shao. "Shao has found out clearly that the thieves have kidnapped Your Majesty and are planning to attack my Yuan family."

"Don't be impatient. What did you find out? Tell me slowly." Yuan Feng hurriedly motioned for Yuan Shao to come forward and talk. At the same time, he handed him a cup of tea and said, "Is it true that Your Majesty was held hostage by thieves?"

The last time He Jin came to see Yuan Feng to deal with Jian Shuo together, he revealed at that time that His Majesty had been kidnapped by Jian Shuo, but Yuan Feng didn't believe it.

He always thought that Jian Shuo was arrogant and relied on His Majesty's favor to act recklessly. Although Your Majesty was stupid, he was deceived at most. How could he be held hostage by the eunuch?
  Although they later saw the emperor asking Jian Shuo for his opinion on everything in the court, as veterans of the court, Yuan Feng and Yuan Wei also analyzed it afterwards and both felt that being held hostage was too ridiculous. So he tried his best to find out the real situation in the palace.

Unexpectedly, before the informants in the palace could spread the word, there was news from Yuan Shao, and it was clearly stated that the emperor had been held hostage, which shocked everyone present and pricked up their ears to listen carefully.

"Your Majesty gave the boy and Meng De a banquet today. During the banquet, your Majesty said personally that Jian Shuo was kidnapped." Yuan Shao took the tea and drank it all in one gulp, and continued, "We have also personally checked. There are garrison guards at the front and rear gates of Changle Palace. Any Anyone who wants to come in or out needs Jian Shuo’s consent.”

"So your Majesty is under house arrest?" Yuan Wei stood up slowly, his face pale and his whole body trembling with shock, "The matter is far more serious than we expected. It seems that as Benchu ​​said, the matter is urgent and must be dealt with early. "

"What other plans does the thief have for my Yuan family?" Yuan Feng asked. Although government affairs are important, he cares more about his family's interests.

"I heard from your majesty that the Jian thief demoted his father to Zhi Jinwu in order to be transferred to his subordinates for convenience and humiliation." Yuan Shao continued, "Your Majesty also said that the Jian thief will continue to attack the Yuan family, including the younger generation, and your Majesty is powerless to stop it. , let us prepare countermeasures.”

"Do you have any suggestions for your majesty to eliminate thieves?" Yuan Feng asked.

"My child advises me, as long as your Majesty gives an order, we will lead the troops into the palace and kill the thieves." Yuan Shao briefly recounted the conversation he had with Liu Ming during the banquet and said, "Your Majesty's intention This matter must not be done rashly, but it must be done too hastily, and it is easy to force the thieves to jump over the wall, and even murder your majesty. However, if left unchecked, the whole world will fall into the hands of the thieves, and my Yuan family will also be wiped out."

"This..." Yuan Shu, who was listening to the side, had already become impatient and said loudly, "Just talk about Chelulu, whether to kill or to stay, whether to fight or to make peace, but you can give me your order quickly so that we can raise troops. Escort."

"Nonsense!" Yuan Feng scolded, "Didn't you hear that His Majesty was held hostage by thieves? How can you issue an order so quickly? You are also a high-ranking general, how can you be so reckless in your words and actions?"

Yuan Shu snorted coldly, rolled his eyes at Yuan Shao, and stopped talking.

Yuan Shu has always been unconvinced with Yuan Shao. It is obvious that Yuan Shao is a son of a concubine, but he is quite popular among his elders and is even famous in the government and the public. However, he, a legitimate son, is always suppressed by others. He keeps holding his breath in his heart. What do you think? Why do I feel that Yuan Shao is not pleasing to the eye?

"From your Majesty's point of view, you are worried about your own safety and the stability of the government." Yuan Wei lightly stroked his long white beard and said leisurely, "But from the perspective of our Yuan family, bringing troops into the palace is naturally the most direct way, but The risk is also high. Once we fail to eliminate the thieves, our Yuan family will face an irreversible disaster. Not to mention that the soldiers and horses that our Yuan family directly controls in the capital are the original Xiyuan Army. It is too risky."        “Isn't that simple? ?" Yuan Shu became more excited after hearing this, "Since we don't have many troops and we don't want to take the risk of failing to lead troops into the palace, why not encourage the general He Jin to lead troops into the palace to eliminate the thieves? The general has no shortage of troops. Failure It won’t involve our Yuan family in the future, isn’t it wonderful?”

"Stupid!" Yuan Feng rebuked again, "I only know one but not the other, and I still think that I am right. Have you ever thought about what if He Jin really succeeds? Wouldn't the entire court fall into the hands of the butcher? Our Yuan family is still What's the difference between not having the right to speak and trying to take power now?"

Yuan Shu was depressed, wondering what happened to this old man? I said that I led troops to fight in, and I was scolded. I said that I encouraged others to fight in, and I was scolded again. It was just killing a castrated dog. No matter what I did, it was wrong.

You only have that bastard in your eyes, right? One day I, Yuan Gongli, will make some earth-shattering achievements and let you see who is stupid and who is blind!
  "The news came from Xiliang that Dong Zhuo sent troops to Chencang, but was severely defeated by the Qiang soldiers." Yuan Wei hesitated and said, "Instead of being unable to make achievements in Xiliang, it is better to transfer him back to the capital. Of course not in the name of our Yuan family. Come and adjust."

"Dong Zhuo is a rebellious, greedy and lustful person. Is it safe?" Yuan Feng asked cautiously.

He knew that Dong Zhuo was Yuan Wei's man, but he also knew Dong Zhuo's character very well. He was still a little worried about leaving such a big matter in the hands of such a person.

"Without me, Dong Zhuo would not be where he is today. He is deeply grateful to me, respects the Yuan family very much, and has a lot of troops." Yuan Wei said with confidence, "This time I entered the palace to eliminate thieves, my Yuan family It is not easy to take the lead and rush to the front. It is most appropriate to let the trustworthy frontier troops do it. If we win, my Yuan family will benefit and control the world. If we lose, my Yuan family can safely stay out of the matter and not suffer any losses."

Yuan Feng pondered for a long time, nodded, and said: "Benchu, go to the General's Mansion. They must also be planning to deal with the thieves. Can you suggest that the General summon Dong Zhuo to the capital to eliminate the thieves? Later Ci Yang (Yuan Feng) Wei) wrote a secret letter to Dong Zhuo to inform him of the matter. I, the Yuan family, are behind the scenes. I cannot completely stay out of the matter, but I also have to ensure that I can escape safely if something goes wrong."

"The general asked the boy to come to the government tomorrow to discuss matters. I think it was just to ward off thieves." Yuan Shao replied, "At that time, the boy just suggested that he send foreign troops to Beijing. Then everything will fall into place and success will surely come."

Yuan Feng nodded with satisfaction, then turned to Yuan Shu in the corner and said: "The road (named by Yuan Shu) will set off to return to Runan tomorrow. In the name of suppressing bandits, we will recruit troops to prepare for emergencies. I always feel that this matter will not be so serious." Simple, just in case, even if there are changes in the capital, we can still return to our place of origin and remain invincible, but this is the worst plan, I hope it doesn't come to this."

"Father, don't worry. With the prestige of my Yuan family in Runan, it will not be a problem to raise an elite army. It's up to me this time." When Yuan Shu saw that such an important task was entrusted to his hands, he immediately became energetic again. While responding loudly, he glanced sideways at Yuan Shao.

"Remember, everything must be done secretly. If any leak is revealed, our Yuan family will be in catastrophe!" Yuan Feng once again told everyone, "At the same time, Jian Shuo's evil deeds must be spread in many ways, including his kidnapping His Majesty to bring chaos to the court, and lay the foundation for the future. Get rid of Jian and build momentum."

Everyone agreed in unison.
