Hee Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 174 An Youhou (Second Update)
After Yuan Xi returned to the Governor's Mansion, Yuan Shao finally received the news of Zhen Mi's pregnancy in the distant city of Ye. He was overjoyed and immediately summoned his second son and ministers. This is the first grandchild of the Yuan family!
"Congratulations father"

"Congratulations, my lord"

After knowing the situation, although Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang were envious and jealous, they still congratulated the excited Yuan Shao with civil and martial arts. Some time ago they wanted to capture Zhao Yun, but they didn't know what went wrong. Not only did they fail, but they were reprimanded and warned After a pause, if you don't take the initiative now, you will probably be scolded again.

The corner of Yuan Shao's mouth burst into a smile, and he said loudly: "Xi'er, wipe out Zhang Yan, protect the environment and the people, and even defeat Wuyan in Youzhou, and win the Guangping Plain War, especially for the descendants of the Yuan family. Contribution, three times combined into one, a certain person wants to play the emperor, and give him the title of Marquis"

Wen Wu was taken aback, while Yuan Shang and Yuan Tan had wry smiles on their lips. The battle of destroying Zhang Yan and Guang Ping Yuan was not qualified to be a marquis. The key was that Zhen Mi was pregnant, which made Yuan Shao happy, but they couldn't say anything at this time. Who told his woman's belly to be disappointing, and she hasn't conceived yet.

"My lord, it's too heavy to be a marquis! The second son's military exploits don't seem to be enough, why don't you reward him with money?"

I saw Tian Feng stood up anxiously, and quickly stopped him, saying, what Yuan Xi needs now is to quietly accumulate strength, not such a false name, which has no other effect at all except to attract everyone's attention.

"Is it heavy? Shang'er, tell me?" Yuan Shao didn't answer Tian Yu, but instead looked at Yuan Shang, who was conferred the title of Loyal and Filial Marquis on his birthday just because of a map.

Yuan Shang suddenly wanted to vomit blood in depression, his title is not the same as this one, he was forced to lose his position as son because of that title.

"My son has no objection, my second brother is definitely qualified," Yuan Shang said with a bitter smile in his heart.

"What about Tan'er?" Yuan Shao looked at Yuan Tan with stern eyes.

"I don't have any," Yuan Tan said hastily. He has been ordered by Yuan Shao to go to Qingzhou next year. If he objects now, he will probably have to go there this year.

Tian Feng smiled wryly, and turned his head to look at Wen Wu next to him. When everyone saw his eyes, they immediately lowered their heads. Isn't it just a knighthood? It's just a reputation.

"My lord, you can also be named a marquis, but Feng suggested that the lord should be treated equally. As the eldest son, the eldest son should also be canonized."

In desperation, Tian Feng could only divert his attention. If Yuan Tan was also enshrined, then all three sons would be there, and there would be fewer people paying attention to Yuan Xi.

Hearing this, Yuan Tan's face immediately showed a hint of gratitude. He really had this thought in his heart. After all, he has two younger brothers. It would be too embarrassing for his eldest brother to be a general.

"Master Tian's words are very true. The Lord will rule the north fairly, and his achievements will conquer the world. All descendants should be named marquises." Guo Tu immediately stood up and supported him.

The other civil and military people all had wry smiles on their mouths. This position has become a cabbage, but the neutral people don’t want to offend Yuan Tan, and Yuan Shang’s people are also at a loss, because Yuan Shang made a start, and he has no military exploits, so he was also named a marquis. .

Yuan Shao looked at Yuan Tan who was full of longing on his face. After hesitating for a while, he felt that he really couldn't ignore the eldest son like this, and said softly: "Tan'er, you have a lot of filial piety and love, and you have made many suggestions to stabilize Yecheng. The unification of the north has also made a lot of contributions, and someone will report to the emperor, hoping to bestow a title."

"Thank you, father." Yuan Tan immediately knelt down gratefully. As for the hope, it was all official words. Their Yuan family had long since become a whole. Offend Yuan Shao, otherwise Yuan Shang's title would not fall so easily.

Seeing this scene, Tian Feng breathed a sigh of relief.

. . . . . . . .

Time passed by, and in the blink of an eye, it was the eve of New Year's Eve. On this night, the temperature was a bit cold, but it was still within acceptable limits. The city of Ji County was obviously much quieter. The merchants closed their doors and the people returned home, except for the patrolling soldiers who were still there Taking turns to stay outside at night, there are very few pedestrians on the street.
In the governor's mansion where the lights are still bright, Yuan Xi is also arranging work for the last day of this year. Tomorrow is New Year's Eve. He will enter the new year with his subordinates, civil and military.

"Xueping, you've worked hard." In the inner hall, Yuan Xi looked at Juhu, who was a little tired from preparing for the New Year's Eve feast and New Year's greetings, and said softly.

"My son is serious, this is what Hu should do." Juhu smiled slightly.

Yuan Xi nodded, then looked at a frail young man standing next to Juhu, and said in a more gentle tone: "You'an, you will represent your father at the table tomorrow."

You'an is Yan Fang's word. After Yan Fang came here, he was assigned to work as a meritorious service. He belonged to the government affairs hall and studied with Juhu. He should have inherited his mother's characteristics. He is thin, fair-skinned, delicate in mind, and loves Wen Shi does not have the body of his father and the late elder brother, nor the temperament of a military general. This is why Yan Rou arranged him beside Yuan Xi. One is as a hostage, and the other is because he is afraid that something will happen to him. After all, although he cannot inherit the Liaoxi Army, But Yan Rou only had this one son.

"Let go, thank you son for your kindness on behalf of father." Yan Fang said with a grateful salute. Before Yan Rou came, Yuan Xi did give up the position of the first general, which showed his love for their father and the entire Yan family.

"Should be." Yuan Xi smiled and said, "It's getting late, let's all go back! Get a good sleep tonight, you might be even more tired tomorrow."

"promise!"

After the two left, Pang Tong walked in slowly, and said with regret on his face, "See you, son."

"I know the matter. I will bury him generously and give his family enough pension." Yuan Xi said softly. Just today, Zhu Yan and Cheng Tong fought again, and both died unhappily. The entire military office is mourning for it , It's a pity for the talents of the two, but of course the truth is not like this.

"Young Master Xie" Pang Tong saluted.

"Shi Yuan, do you think Xi is too cruel?" Yuan Xi asked.

Pang Tong shook his head and sighed: "No, in fact, Tong talked to them after the young master said it, hoping to give them one last chance, but the two have completely deviated and are too persistent. Once the two of them take power in the future , the military division is bound to be turbulent, and even spread to other places.”

A gleam of relief flashed in Yuan Xi's eyes, and he slowly stood up, "You're right if you think so, the military commander, the secret affairs hall, and the government affairs hall are three pillars, and no one can exceed the authority. When Xi is here, relying on prestige, they are not needed." Even the next few generations don’t need innovations. Xiao Gui and Cao Sui are enough. As for the future, it depends on the children and grandchildren themselves. No matter how many things happen at that time, Xi can’t control it.”

"My son is wise," Pang Tong admired.

Yuan Xi smiled slightly, "Let's not talk about this, New Year's Eve is coming soon, every festive season misses relatives a lot, does Shi Yuan miss his family a little too?"

"It's okay." Pang Tong smiled wryly. Jingzhou is thousands of miles away, even if he wants to go back, it is impossible.

"It's inconvenient to go back, why not write a letter!"

"No, when Tong left, he already said that he will follow the army south to Jingzhou in person, and it will not be too late to meet at that time." A trace of arrogance flashed across Pang Tong's face.

"I see, well, if Xi can succeed in the future, he will personally lead an army of one million to conquer the land of Jingyang," Yuan Xi promised loudly.

"Young Master Xie" Pang Tong's eyes showed emotion.

"My lord!" At this time, Han Yan ran in quickly like a small trot, with a lot of joy on his face.

"What's the matter, Zipei, so happy?" Yuan Xi asked curiously.

"My lord, Yecheng replied. After the lord knew that his wife was pregnant, he was overjoyed, so he directly bestowed the word Huayong, and in order to commend the achievements of the lord during this period, he specially played the son of heaven and canonized the lord as Marquis of Anyou. His second honorary title," Han Yan said excitedly.

"Marquis Anyou" Yuan Xi couldn't help but frowned, and said seriously: "This is not a good thing, I guess my two brothers are going to follow me again."

"Young master, there is no need to worry at all. The eldest son has also been canonized as Marquis of Qingyuan, and the three brothers of the son are all marquises," Han Yan said with a smile.

"Brother was also canonized, what's going on?" Yuan Xi was a little surprised.

"It's all thanks to Mr. Tian, ​​my lord, please take a look." Han Yan took out another bamboo slip hidden in his pocket.

Yuan Xi quickly took it, and after reading it, he sighed, "It's really a blessing from God that I can get Uncle Tian to work for me!"

Pang Tong also looked at the bamboo slips immediately, nodded appreciatively and said, "Lord Tian is wise, since you can't stop him, you should distract your attention, so that this prince can not only take the position easily, but also won't arouse the jealousy of other princes."

Yuan Xi nodded, looked at the two of them and said, "Send a letter to thank you immediately."

"No, Lord Hou," Han Yan and Pang Tong replied together.

Hearing this title, Yuan Xi was taken aback for a moment, and then burst out laughing.
