Can I get to the other side?.

Chapter 75 Jia Xu Enters Ye City

After the Zhen family's convoy sent Zhen Mi to Yecheng, they left after staying there for a few days.

As the saying goes, we come and go in a hurry.

When the Zhen family members left, only Yuan Shang went to see them off. Yuan Xi still claimed to be sick and stayed at home and did not go.

But in reality he was drinking at home to drown his sorrows.

“Ton ton ton—!”

In the study, Yuan Xi held the jar of wine and drank it.

After finishing the jar of wine in his hand, he exhaled a breath of turbid air, threw the empty jar to the ground and smashed it to pieces, then shouted drunkenly: "Bring me some wine! Bring me some more wine!"

The servant outside the study came over upon hearing the noise.

But after seeing the empty wine jars piled up in disorder on the floor of the study, he couldn't help but persuade him, "Sir, you should drink less..."

"boom!"

Before the attendant could finish his words, Yuan Xi slapped the table and said angrily: "I can't even drink now!"

"How dare a servant like you to control me?!"

Faced with the angry Yuan Xi, the servant dared not say anything more. He could only bow and go to get the wine.

"Vile thing!"

Watching the servant leave, Yuan Xi cursed angrily, then slumped in his chair with a gloomy expression.

In order to appear reliable in front of his father.

He hadn't indulged himself like this in a long time.

But this time he couldn't help it.

Originally, the marriage with the Zhen family was a great thing for him, as he could not only win over the Zhen family, a wealthy family in Jizhou, but also marry such a stunningly beautiful woman.

But Yuan Shang intervened and ruined the marriage!
Thinking of this, Yuan Xi's mind couldn't help but emerge with the stunningly beautiful face he saw outside Yecheng that day.

In addition, during this period of time, he was suppressed by Yuan Shang in both military and political affairs.

The hatred towards Yuan Shang in my heart couldn't help but deepen.

Yuan Xi became angrier and angrier as he thought about it. At this moment, he heard footsteps coming, so he started to curse, "Why are you so slow in getting the wine? You useless idiot..."

His cursing stopped abruptly because the person who came was not the servant who brought the wine, but Xu You.

"Mr. Xu? Why are you here?"

Yuan Xi sobered up a little and quickly stood up to greet him, but he had drunk too much and could not stand up for a while.

Xu You said, "Second Master, there is no need to be polite. Just sit down. I just saw that you haven't been to your official residence for a few days, so I came to visit you."

Like Guo Tu and Xin Ping, Xu You was more inclined towards Yuan Xi among Yuan Shao's three sons.

Yuan Xi had not been seen going to the official residence in recent days, so Xu You went to see what was going on.

"Sir, please sit down."

Yuan Xi invited Xu You to sit down, then called the servants to prepare tea and clean up the empty wine jars in the room.

Xu You took a look, then looked at Yuan Xi, who was drunk and looked a little depressed, and asked, "Why are you drinking to drown your sorrows? Not only have you neglected your duties these past few days, but you didn't even see Zhen off when she left."

"If the lord knew about this, he might not be happy."

Yuan Xi said indifferently: "Now that you know it, it's fine. Anyway, my father doesn't like me anymore, so it's useless to try harder to show off."

"Father has always favored Xianfu."

He used to manage logistics affairs diligently, but all he got in return was reprimand. Now he is discouraged.

Hearing the disappointment in Yuan Xi's tone, Xu You smiled and asked, "Sir, don't you want to know why the Third Young Master has been praised so frequently by the Lord recently?"

"Sir, what do you mean?"

Upon hearing this, Yuan Xi looked up at Xu You and frowned slightly.

In fact, he also found this very strange.

Their father asked the two brothers to share the responsibility of various affairs, and counselors such as Shen Pei and Xu You could only assist and provide reference, but could not handle the affairs directly for them.

Because the father wanted to see the abilities of the two brothers.

Although this was clearly the first time for them to do something of this kind, Yuan Shang's performance far surpassed his others and he handled all matters in an orderly manner.

He originally thought that Yuan Shang's ability and talent surpassed his.

But now it seems... there seems to be something else going on?
Xu You nodded slightly, and then said: "I have a good relationship with Feng Yuantu. I learned from him that it was a counselor named Guo Jia under the command of the Third Young Master who had been helping the Third Young Master to make plans and handle military and political affairs."

"The last time you spread rumors and prevented the marriage between you and the Zhen family, it was also done by this Guo Jia."

Xu You had only recently learned of this news. After careful consideration, he decided to do him a favor and tell the second son Yuan Xi about this matter.

"what?!"

Yuan Xi's expression suddenly changed when he heard this. He couldn't help but grit his teeth and said, "No wonder, no wonder! This guy! He is cheating!"

At this moment Yuan Xi was extremely angry.

No wonder Yuan Shang was able to handle all military and political affairs in an orderly manner, and no wonder he was able to come up with a countermeasure immediately when the rumors suddenly appeared last time.

It turns out that all this was because someone was helping him behind the scenes!
Thinking this through, Yuan Xi did not hesitate and immediately stood up and said, "I'll go tell my father now!"

The last rumor was extremely dangerous. If we were not careful, it would be a huge blow to the reputation of the Yuan family. If Yuan Shao knew about this, he would definitely be furious.

"Master, please stay!"

Xu You quickly reached out to stop him, and then said, "Even if you know, so what? Without evidence, how can the Lord believe you?"

"And even if the lord believes in you, I'm afraid he won't vent his anger on the third young master. Instead, he will dislike you even more, the second young master."

Yuan Xi was stunned: "Why? He's obviously cheating!"

Xu You felt helpless and sighed, "Being able to cheat is a skill. Although the Lord did not allow us to help the two gentlemen, he never said it explicitly, nor did he restrict the two gentlemen from asking us and other talented people for help."

"Being able to get help from talented people is also a skill. Do you understand, sir?"

Although there is this unspoken rule here, it is not a real rule, and even if it is a real rule, what does it matter?

Rules have always been broken. If Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang have the ability to persuade their advisers to help, then that is a talent.

Xu You knew this early on, and he had been waiting for Yuan Xi to come to him for help, but Yuan Xi actually just worked hard and honestly.

To be honest, he couldn't bear to watch it anymore.

This is a special reminder.

After hearing this, Yuan Xi was stunned and shocked.

So... you can play it like this?

For some reason, he suddenly remembered the question his father asked him that day and the meaningful look he gave him.

"Xianyi, do you really have no objection?"

"This is the wedding that was originally prepared for you."

Suddenly, Yuan Xi woke up.

So...that's how it is.

Only now did he understand what his father Yuan Shao meant by his words that day, but it was too late.

No! wrong!

It's not too late!
Yuan Xi suddenly raised his head and looked at Xu You, as if he saw the last straw to save his life, and begged: "Mr. Xu, you must help me!"

Now he has no choice but to ask Xu You for help!

But Xu You shook his head and said, "Please forgive me, Second Young Master. I have already broken the rules by telling you the inside story. I can no longer help you."

"You can go find Tian Yuanhao and Ju Gongyu and see if you can win their help. Goodbye."

After Xu You finished speaking, he turned and left.

Yuan Xi was left alone, standing in the study room in a daze.

Is it true that no one helps him?
……

Outside the south gate of Yecheng.

A horse-drawn carriage drove slowly towards the city along the wide official road.

In the carriage, a slightly fat scholar raised his head, lifted the curtain, looked up at Yecheng in front of him, and smiled slightly.

"We've finally arrived in Yecheng."

This fat scholar is Jia Xu!

After separating from Zhang Xiu in Wancheng, he went all the way to Jizhou, and it took him a month to finally arrive in Yecheng.

He had two purposes for this trip.

One is to pay homage to the emperor, and the other is to serve under Yuan Shao.

He came here specifically for the Emperor. If the Emperor was worthy of assisting, he, Jia Wenhe, might be able to be a loyal minister and support the Han Dynasty; but if the Emperor was not worthy of assisting, he could also join Yuan Shao.

In short, there are ways to advance and retreat.

"Don't let me down."

Jia Xu smiled, lowered the curtains of the carriage, and slowly drove into the city.

The carriage did not stop until it reached the outside of the palace.

"The palace is a forbidden area, no one is allowed to enter!"

As soon as the carriage approached the palace, the guards came forward to check.

The person on duty today was Gao Lan. He came forward with two guards and asked, "Who is coming?"

Soon the curtain of the carriage was lifted and Jia Xu got out of the carriage.

After tidying up his clothes and putting the crown on his head, Jia Xu smiled and said, "I am Jia Xu, with the courtesy name Wenhe, and I am the Grand Master of Imperial Households. I heard that Your Majesty is currently living in Yecheng, so I have come to pay my respects to you."

"Grand Master of Imperial Households? Jia Xu?"

Gao Lan's expression changed slightly when he heard this.

Although he had never heard of the name Jia Xu, he was well-known for Guanglu Dafu, which was second only to the Nine Ministers!
This ugly fat guy in front of me.

He is actually a high-ranking official with a rank of two thousand stones?
Gao Lan didn't know whether it was true or not, but he didn't dare to neglect it. He said respectfully: "Please wait a moment, sir. I will go and report to His Majesty first."

"Thank you."

Jia Xu said with a smile, he has a very good temper.

So Gao Lan asked the left and right guards to stay where they were and watch Jia Xu, while he went into the palace to report to Liu Xie.

Liu Xie was taking a nap in his bedroom at that time. After hearing the news, he lost his sleepiness all of a sudden and jumped out of bed.

"What did you say? Jia Xu?!"

Liu Xie looked at Gao Lan in shock, wondering if he had heard it wrong, or if Gao Lan had said it wrong!
Gao Lan nodded and said, "Yes, Your Majesty, he claimed to be the Grand Master of Imperial Households, his surname was Jia, his given name was Xu, and his courtesy name was Wenhe. I heard it correctly."

After confirming this from Gao Lan, Liu Xie swallowed his saliva.

I felt a little confused.

Of course he had heard of the name Jia Xu. He was the most famous ruthless person in the Three Kingdoms, and his fame was no less than that of the genius Guo Jia!

"Why would Jia Xu come to Yecheng? Cao Cao was fighting Zhang Xiu, shouldn't he have surrendered to Cao Cao together with Zhang Xiu? What's going on?"

Liu Xie now feels that his brain CPU is a little overloaded.

Jia Xu's arrival was completely different from the history he was familiar with.

After his expression changed several times, Liu Xie got out of bed and said to Gao Lan, "Bring him to the main hall. I want to see him in person."

"Yes! Your Majesty!"

Gao Lan took the order and left.
