The Three Kingdoms: The Cold Gate World

Chapter 50

"Guo Jiapifu, you are so crazy!"

After Yuan Shao returned home, he was furious. After smashing many antiques and treasures, he still couldn't understand his anger, so he drew his sword and split the desk.

In front of the Cai Mansion, Yuan Shao's face was damaged by Guo Jia's arrogant attitude.

A poor man in common clothes actually made the captain of Sili very afraid!

Such rumors will spread in Luoyang City soon, Yuan Shao doesn't care who Guo Jia killed, but he cares about his own fame!

What annoyed him the most was that the imperial court actually pardoned Guo Jia's past crimes, which made Yuan Shao want to make trouble afterwards without knowing why!

When the chest was heaving and fluctuating, the servants reported outside the door: "My lord, Yuan Taifu asked the lord to go to the mansion to explain."

After Yuan Shao dismissed the servants, he began to arrange his clothes. After a while, the majestic Captain Sili stepped out of the room and walked towards the Taifu's residence.

Since the death of Yuan Shao's biological father, Sikong Yuanfeng, the current leader of the Yuan family has become Yuan Shao's uncle, Yuan Kai, who is the imperial tutor and also among the three princes.

When they came to Yuan Kai's mansion, the servants had been waiting for a long time, and led Yuan Shao into the secret room in the Taifu's mansion.

Although Yuan Kui was over half a hundred years old, he was still in good spirits, so he poured two cups of tea and sipped leisurely.

When Yuan Shao arrived, Yuan Kai signaled to him that there was no need to salute, and he ushered in a seat and sat facing each other.

Yuan Shao, who knelt down, picked up the teacup and drank it in one gulp, which was completely different from Yuan Kai's sips and slow sips.

After Yuan Shao calmed down, Yuan Kai said, "I heard that Guo Jia from Yingchuan has arrived in Luoyang."

Yuan Shao frowned slightly, why did Guo Jia become the focus as soon as he arrived in Luoyang?What's the point of being a poor man?

"Yes, my nephew met once in Cai's mansion today." Yuan Shao didn't hide anything, besides, in Luoyang City, there are many powerful people with eyes and ears, so don't pretend to be deaf and dumb in front of each other, and there is no need to hide between uncles and nephews. cover up.

Staring at Yuan Shao with deep meaning in his eyes for a moment, seeing his normal expression, Yuan Kai said calmly: "The friction between you and Guo Jia is harmless, but Guo Jia met someone before going to Cai's Mansion."

"Who?" Yuan Shao became suspicious, and vaguely thought it was related to Guo Jia's pardon.

Just as Yuan Shao expected, Yuan Kai revealed the answer: "Prince Association."

A seven-year-old prince going to see Guo Jia?

Yuan Shao was not sure what was in it, and he couldn't figure it out, so he humbly asked his uncle for advice.

Yuan Kui kept his face indifferent, guessing: "Although the Prince Association is young, it has a mature mind. Now the two factions in the court are clearly divided in order to establish the crown prince. The general and the gentry in the court support the prince's argument. You also understand the reason. The general is the prince. Uncle Bian, the gentry in the court do not want His Majesty to dethrone the elders and establish the young. Only the eunuchs support the Prince Association as the crown prince, and their purpose is to protect themselves. The Prince Association knows that it is alone, so it wants to plump its wings. It is to win over foreign relatives, gentry, and forces other than the eunuch party. The people in Luoyang must have known what Guo Jia did in the past, so the prince's association with Guo Jia is likely to take Guo Jia for his own use."

A hint of sarcasm could not help appearing on Yuan Shao's face, he sneered and said, "Guo Jia is a child from a poor family, with no power and power, how much trouble can he cause?"

Yuan Kai frowned and looked directly at Yuan Shao, and said earnestly: "There are many people who think like you. Back then, the yellow scarf bandit Bocai defeated Huangfusong's [-] elites and killed countless warriors. In the end, Bocai died in the fire of the Changshe. .Hedongwei’s family is deeply rooted in Hedong County, but the eldest son of the family died tragically at the door of the house. Tao Qian’s Danyang army was unstoppable, and no one dared to touch his edge when he took over Xuzhou. As a result, Tao Qian’s eldest son was killed in front of Xuzhou’s generals, and Tao Qian himself almost died "Guo Jia, don't underestimate it."

After his uncle mentioned something, Yuan Shao woke up in horror, closed his eyes and pondered for a while, then nodded heavily, and said: "Uncle's words are like a blow to the head, my nephew has been taught. According to my uncle, Guo Jia's assistance to the prince's association is good or bad. ?”

Yuan Kai was very pleased to see that Yuan Shao was being educated humbly, and after thinking for a while, he said: "If the prince co-operates to seize the throne, the party of the generals will bear the brunt of the disaster first, and after that, it will be the gentry who oppose the abolition of the elders and the establishment of the younger. , my Yuan family is bound to be implicated. Guo Jia is an unpredictable person. He came from a humble background and has a deep prejudice against the nobles. Now he dares to commit heinous crimes several times. At that time, this person may be even more unscrupulous, and the gentry headed by my Yuan family may be wiped out."

Yuan Shao was dumbfounded when he heard it, and when he regained his senses, he slammed his fist heavily on the desk, and a few drops of tea splashed out of the teacup, but Yuan Kai turned a blind eye to it, as if he didn't complain about Yuan Shao's actions.

"Uncle, this person must not be allowed to take power! However, if the prince is allowed to easily ascend to the top, the general's power will be even more difficult to shake. Will my Yuan family be able to avoid disaster?"

Regarding this question, Yuan Kai showed a slight smile, and said softly: "Although the prince is old, he has a childlike heart, loves to play and waste his career, and is arrogant and indulgent. , the great general is of course rising with the tide and monopolizing power in the court, but the first enemy that the general will eradicate is the eunuch party. Once the eunuch party is eliminated, it will benefit and not harm our gentry, this is one of them. The general is a warrior, marching and fighting may be He still has some skills, but he has no way to govern the country. At that time, he still has to win over the gentry to use for him. At that time, the gentry can take the opportunity to revive and make false claims with the general. When the time comes, hehe. This is the second. From this two Li, we will naturally help the prince argue to be crowned prince."

Suddenly Yuan Shao nodded in agreement, deeply agreeing, but he frowned and asked: "What should we do for the current plan? Guo Jia may have already joined the Prince's Association."

Yuan Kai closed his eyes and said calmly, "Kill Guo Jia."

Yuan Shao's expression was startled, then he nodded heavily and said: "My nephew understands, my nephew will go back to the house and make arrangements."

Unexpectedly, Yuan Kai waved his hand and said indifferently: "You and Guo Jia have conflicts in the Cai Mansion today, so it is not appropriate to come forward. Besides, killing this person will cause a lot of trouble afterwards. You don't need to do it yourself. There are two people who can help you." you."

Yuan Shao thought about it, his uncle was right, if he killed Guo Jia, his reputation might be damaged, so he should listen to his uncle's advice: "Which two people?"

"Gaolu and Cao A lie."

……

Yuan Shu, who was drinking and having fun with his beautiful wife and concubine in the mansion, suddenly pushed away the beautiful lady in his arms, pointed at the person and shouted: "Is this true? As long as I do something for Yuan Shao, he will embrace me as the head of the Yuan family from now on?"

The person who came was Yuan Shao's confidant, and he clasped his hands and replied in a deep voice: "My lord indeed said so. After the matter is completed, my lord will return to his hometown in Runan in person, and enshrine the general as the new head of the Yuan family before the ancestral throne."

Yuan Shu waved his hands left and right, and drove out his wives, concubines and servants, leaving only him and his servants.

After pacing back and forth for a long time, Yuan Shu asked, "What's the matter?"

The visitor took a step forward and whispered in front of Yuan Shu, "Kill Yingchuan Guo Jia."

After hearing this, Yuan Shu raised his head and laughed heartily, "Yuan Benchu, Yuan Benchu, you actually abandoned official business to avenge your own personal revenge!"You are afraid that killing this person yourself will dirty your hands and stain your name. I, Yuan Shu, are not afraid. Killing this person is easy. If you dare to break the promise after it is done, don't blame me for revealing the identity of the son of the Yuan family. Against you!

Yuan Shu, who is the general of Huben Zhonglang, is doing nothing now, the emperor is sick in bed all day long, and the imperial army has been handed over to Jian Shuo, so the Huben army is useless at all.

On the other hand, Yuan Shao led the Xiyuan Army Sili Xiaowei, bought people's hearts wantonly in the army, and his wings gradually flourished. Those insightful people who had long admired the Yuan family's prestige also rushed to visit Yuan Shao. Naturally, I feel unwilling.

However, it would be different if Yuan Shao personally supported Yuan Shu as the leader in the clan. Yuan Shu could not only command Yuan Shao in a legitimate manner, but also inherit the Yuan family's business, and his prestige was naturally at its peak.

That night, not only the Yuan's family was not the only mansion that was not peaceful, but the Cai's mansion, which had just finished banqueting the scholars in Luoyang, was also in turmoil.

Sitting in the study, Cai Yong looked at Cai Yan who was bowing his head in front of him, and comforted him: "Yan'er, my father has already learned that the emperor has pardoned Guo Jia's crimes. Although my father is heartbroken, there is nothing he can do."

Cai Yan looked indifferent, but shook his head slightly.

Cai Yan had mixed feelings when her fiancé died tragically in Hedong County. If she said she was heartbroken, then she wasn't. It's just that she has been proficient in classics and history since she was a child. How does Yan deal with it indifferently?

Hedong Wei Zhongdao and her childhood sweetheart are like brothers and sisters. Although they often yearn for the heart-pounding love between men and women in the Book of Songs, marriage matters are left to the discretion of their parents. Marriage with Wei Zhongdao is just going with the flow, and the state of mind is always The waves are not going well, marrying Wei Zhongdao as a wife is not difficult to accept, but in the dead of night, I sigh inexplicably, maybe I still feel a little bit lost in my heart.

The person who stirred the heartstrings and made people unable to help themselves never appeared after her cardamom years. When she was in her prime, she would be happy if she married and became a married woman, took care of her husband and raised her children.

When the sad news of Wei Zhongdao's death came, Cai Yan only sighed three times in the room. She lost a talented person who would sing with her, and a close friend who cared for her. carry on.

But then the sons and daughters of the gentry in Luoyang City came in droves, and there were countless beggars. The compassion and greed revealed in words and deeds made Cai Yan feel ashamed, and the mud bodhisattva was still angry. ?
Being made a laughingstock and being pitiful, Cai Yan was furious, and all the sources came from that arrogant young prince of Yingchuan: Guo Fengxiao!
Inviting Guo Jia to the banquet was originally an ambush for murder, but unexpectedly he was humiliated by this person, and he begged personally to get this person to splash ink and leave three poems mocking the nobles. Cai Fu.

This hate is hard to settle!

It was already dawn, and there was a terrified cry from the servants in Cai's mansion: "Master, master, it's not good, Miss is gone!"
