Chapter 179 Leave
Yuan Shi tried his best to resist the pressure from a great master like Wang Yan, but he didn't stop talking: "The rise and fall of the Jinyang Wang family is all due to the Taiwei's thought. Yuan Shi's life is not a pity. If it can be replaced by the Jinyang Wang family Thousands of lives, this business can make a lot of money."

"Tell me about your conditions." Situ Wang Rong, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke from the side. When he spoke, Wang Yan also accepted the spiritual pressure released just now.

"It's very simple," Yuan Shi said with a relaxed expression, "The court situation is chaotic, and there is no long-term king who is not enough to calm the people. We hope that the highly respected Wang Situ and Wang Taiwei can support His Royal Highness Zhao Wang to ascend to the throne. At that time, you two princes will still be three princes, and the Jinyang Wang family will still be a wealthy family in the world."

Wang Rong was the first to stop Wang Yan who was about to shout angrily, closed his eyes and muttered silently.After a long time, he opened his eyes, but looked at Zhao Wang Li Lun.

"Your Highness, it's fine for the two of us to support His Highness, but the old minister has two conditions."

Zhao Wang Li Lun was overjoyed when he heard the words, and to get the support of Wang Rong and Wang Yan, this was simply a reassurance for him.

"Wang Situ, if you have any conditions, feel free to mention them."

"The first one: honorably burial the emperor."

"It's completely a matter of duty." Zhao Wang said straightforwardly.

"Second: Don't kill King Yuzhang and the grandson of the emperor. Your Highness, they are also members of your Li family."

"Okay, I agree with Situ." Zhao Wang Li Lun did not hesitate, but Li Fu opened his mouth at the side, but finally did not speak.

"Okay," Wang Rong nodded slightly, "A country cannot be without a king for a day, how about the old minister go back and write a form of persuasion?"

At Wang Rong's opening, not to mention Zhao Wang and others, even Yuan Shi was pleasantly surprised.With Wang Rong taking the lead, there is no need to do what he said earlier, such as going to the Xuandi Ancestral Temple or doing Taoist practices.

The portion of Wang Rong is enough.

"If Wang Situ can take the lead in persuading him, I will be grateful. Please rest assured, Situ and the Taiwei. After Gu ascends to the throne, the court will have to rely on the two princes to preside over it."

"Third brother," Wang Yan was furious after returning to Situ's mansion, "The king of Zhao has not yet ascended to the throne, and the little official in Langya is so arrogant, why do you want to persuade him to come in yourself? How can there be words from us waiting in the hall?"

"He just won't go any further, so is there any talk for me now?" Wang Rong said lightly, "Sixth brother, don't you hear about the strategy of taking the ladder out of the house?"

"What does third brother mean?"

"Think about how Yuan Shi dealt with Empress Jia." Wang Rong said calmly, "Isn't it also that he sent Empress Jia to a high place first, and then pulled the ladder at the end. King Zhao Yuan Shi is now full of the supreme position." No one can stand in front of their temptation. Then we will not only not stop, but also give them a ride."

"Let the princes of the world attack them?" Wang Yan already understood his third brother's plan, "Yes,"

"But the world will be in chaos, isn't it?" Wang Rong said for him what he was thinking.

"Third brother, if you act like this, won't the chaos of Shang Dongzhuo repeat itself in the future?"

"Huh, the lesser of two evils." Wang Rong said this with a flash of light in his eyes, "If you can't break it, you can't stand it. After the chaos of the Shang Dynasty, there will be a great Zhou Dynasty."

"Third brother, are things really going to this point?" Wang Yan said worriedly, "Is there any other way?"

"Shangluo is now under King Zhao's control, and no one can make a comeback." Wang Rong shook his head.

"I still can't understand how Yuan Shi, a poor family, can bring the government into such a mess today? Dong Zhuo was still in the hands of Emperor Shang Ling, and he was still in charge of the army. Could it be that he, Yuan Shi, was not afraid of Zhao? Did the king suddenly order him to be beheaded?"

"Sixth brother, don't you understand? Yuan Shi is not afraid of death at all. He can do anything for the sake of being superior. Back then, when he was nothing, he dared to threaten the righteousness of a country. This poor family is the kind One's own selfishness can make all the people in the world die."

"Hey," Wang Yan sighed, "how could the situation be as bad as it is today. You know, at that time, I should agree with you, third brother, to protect the crown prince. Even if we abolish Empress Jia, it will be better than today This situation is much better.”

"This is the gap between us and these poor families." Wang Rong said, "They act without scruples. They don't involve too much like us. They look forward and backward, and they can't do anything in the end."

"Third brother, you have to think about it. If you really take the lead in persuading it, your reputation in this life will be completely ruined. People in the world will not understand the meaning behind your going to the house and pulling the ladder. People in the world will only I scold you for being a follower of power, and you lose the face of celebrities."

"I'm already in my 90s, so why do I need those false names. I only regret not being able to follow in the footsteps of Ruan Ji and his wife, not to go to the temple, but to roam the rivers and lakes."

Hearing Wang Rong's words, Wang Yan fell silent immediately.After a long time, he raised his head again and said, "Third brother, is our Jinyang royal family tied to King Zhao's ship that is doomed to sink? Our royal family cannot be destroyed by you and my brother."

"This is what I want to discuss with you." When Wang Rong said this, his brows and eyes were extremely solemn, "Sixth brother, do you regret your life?"

Wang Yan was startled, looking at Wang Rong's dignified eyes, he understood his third brother's thoughts instantly with his intelligence.He was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "I understand, third brother, I will persuade you to come in together."

"Okay, if you and I are of the same mind, we will definitely be able to accomplish this." Wang Rong suddenly called out, "Bring in a jar of wine."

After that Uncle Wu came in with a jar of wine with a puzzled face, and went out with a puzzled face.Wang Rong opened the wine seal and poured two bowls.

"Come on, since Ji Kang and Ruan Ji passed away, I stopped drinking alcohol. Today, you and my brother chatted about being young and crazy, so how about letting go again?"

"If the third brother is interested in this, how can I not accompany him." Wang Yan picked up a bowl of wine, and the two brothers raised their necks, and drank the two bowls of wine in one gulp.

"Hahahaha, good. Ruan Ji and Liu Ling were the best at that time. It is often said that those who invent wine brewing should be rewarded by all the lands. I didn't think so at the time. Now that I drink this thing, I know that Ruan Ji's words are really wonderful. .”

The two brothers just drank one bowl after another like this. After a while, the altar of fine wine ran out.

"You and my brother took the lead in persuading the advance, King Zhao must be grateful. Taking this as an opportunity, he asked to release my son from the Wang family as the governor of the two states. If the conditions are handed over, King Zhao Yuan Shi and others will not object, but will think that we are in the Jin Dynasty. Yang Wang's family has been tied to them."

"When they arrive in office, it's time to raise the flag of righteousness." Wang Yan continued his third brother Wang Rong's words, "So our Jinyang Wang family is still the leader of the wealthy family in the eyes of the world."

"Hahahaha, it's just you and my two old bones..."

"Our two old bones are old, so we will be buried in Shangluo."

"Sixth brother, in your opinion, which of our Jinyang Wang family's children are suitable to be sent to the governor of a state?"

Wang Yan pondered for a moment and then said: "Wang Dun and Wang Cheng. One is sent to Yanzhou, and the other is sent to Jingzhou."

"Oh, tell me why you chose these two states?"

"Third Brother, are you testing me?" Wang Yan laughed and said, "You and I have not been like this for many years. Yanzhou is the center of the world. It is Yanzhou that holds the flag of righteousness and unites the princes of the Kanto."

"What about Jingzhou?" Wang Rong asked again.

"Jingzhou has the solidity of Jianghan," Wang Yan drank another bowl of wine and said, "If the coalition forces are unfavorable and return to the situation where the later merchants attacked Dong Zhuo, then Jingzhou is more than enough to protect itself."

"Wang Dun liked military books since he was a child, and his heroic spirit is the most prominent among all his children. He should be the governor of Yanzhou." Wang Yan paused and continued, "Wang Chengqian is full of talents, and he is always admonishing. The person who protects the family most is the governor of Jingzhou. Third brother, do you think this arrangement of your sixth brother is appropriate?"

Wang Rong pondered for a moment, and then said: "Actually, I prefer to let Wang Cheng go to Yizhou."

"Yizhou and Jingzhou are fine, let's communicate with other companies. Since Yuan Shi wants to go upstairs, then we have to make this ladder as high as possible this time."

……

While the Wang family brothers were drinking in their own house, there were also two big men drinking together in the long pavilion ten miles north of Shangluo City. It was the third-grade barbarian who watched Zhang Bu and Wang Tianci's sword competition at Hongdu College that day. Monks and fourth-rank merchant monks.

"Brother Wang, I don't know when we will see each other again after this farewell. To borrow a poem from a poet of your businessman: I advise you to drink a glass of wine, and there will be no old friends when you leave Yangguan in the west."

This extraordinary third-rank barbarian monk is none other than Liu Yao, the son of Liu Yuan, the current Hun left commander of the imperial court.The Xiongnu unified the grasslands before the founding of the former Shang Dynasty, and they were veritable overlords outside the Great Wall.The former Shang and the Huns fought back and forth for almost 100 years, and finally defeated the grassland overlord.In the post-Shang period, the Xiongnu was divided into two groups. Among them, the southern Huns went south and surrendered to the Central Plains court, becoming an internal state.Afterwards, the Later Shang and the Southern Huns jointly wiped out the Northern Huns, and the title of Great Chanyu outside the Great Wall has since belonged to the leader of the Southern Huns.At the end of the post-Shang period, Emperor Wu of Zhou at that time divided the Southern Huns into three parts and revoked Shan Yu's title.

Liu Yao is a direct descendant of the Southern Huns' Great Chanyu.

The Southern Huns have been attached to the Central Plains for more than 300 years. The upper-class nobles of the Huns admired the cultural costumes and even the eating habits of the merchants.Before it was attached, these high-level Xiongnu nobles imitated the customs and habits of the merchants everywhere.After staying for more than 300 years, if they still insist on the tradition of kuntou, otherwise no one can tell whether this person is a Hun or a merchant, and they have almost become exactly like merchants.This Liu Yao has been familiar with classics and history since he was a child, and he traveled around to study and learn from teachers. Wang Mi is a close friend he met when he was studying under a great Confucianist in Jizhou.

The two have similar personalities, both are extremely free and easy heroic people, and they have become close friends since they hit it off.

"Brother Liu, I think you don't want to stay in Shangluo as a proton anymore." Wang Bi laughed after drinking the bowl of wine, "Shangluo is going to be in chaos. At this time, no one will care about you The Huns are hostage. Go back to your Pingyang, this situation is the time for us to show our talents, so don't waste any more time in the chaos of Shangluo."

"You, it's no wonder that the teacher always said that you have a rebellious bone in the back of your head. This sentence is really true." Liu Yao said with a smile: "Your father was also a majestic Grand Administrator of the Jin Dynasty, and you also conferred the title of Marquis of Ting on him." Why do you always think about raising troops and making troubles, why do you live in peace and tranquility?"

"I was born in a troubled world." Wang Bi said with a smile: "You and I always feel that we can't make great achievements and leave a name on the history when we were not in the time of Gaozu Guangwu. It's a pity that the Li family turned out on their own. Civil strife, God has given you and me such a great opportunity, you should devote yourself to it and compete with the heroes of the world for that moment. Only in this way can you live up to this life."

"If you and I meet on the battlefield in the future, what will Brother Wang do?" When Liu Yao said this, he was still upright and without any pretensions.

"Fight the heroes of the world first, if the big waves wash the sand, you and I will be left in the end. On the battlefield, I will do my best to defeat you. I think the same is true for you."

"What a Qingzhou Leopard!" Liu Yao praised sincerely, "Brother Wang's words make sense. After drinking this wine, let's say goodbye. When we meet on the battlefield someday, we will say goodbye to Brother Wang."

In Zize Garden on the outskirts of Shangluo, Shi Zhong anxiously paced back and forth in the Jing Pavilion, looking towards the gate from time to time, hoping that Xiong Yuan would return with news soon.

After he got the news that the King of Huainan had launched an army in the early hours of yesterday, he immediately summoned the Cangtou who could fight in Zi Ze Garden and hurried to the city, but before he entered the city, he got the news that the King of Huainan had been captured by Yuan Shi. Killing with tricks is on the verge of failure.Shocked, he led everyone back to Zi Ze Garden in a hurry.Early in the morning, he sent his most powerful housekeeper, Xiong Yuan, to visit everyone in Shangluo City with generous gifts.

Standing on one side of the cabinet was a vigorous young man who was less than 30 years old. His appearance was very similar to him. This man was his eldest son Shi Chao.

Shi Chao is different from his father, he didn't like these businessmen's money since he was a child, but he liked the books of cultivation and battle formation since he was a child.When his grandfather Da Sima Shi Bao hadn't passed away, he often praised that this grandson was the most like him, and that he would definitely become a great general guarding one side in the future.

With the Shi family's almost endless financial resources, coupled with Shi Chao's extraordinary talent and extremely hard work, last year, he finally succeeded in advancing to the third-rank Zhupao monk, becoming a top-rank monk admired by countless people.Sili Zhongzheng determined Shi Chao's grades as: upper-middle class in family background, upper-lower character, upper-lower ability, and it is extremely rare for a young handsome man who is in the top three categories.And above the imperial court, there were many big figures scrambling to recommend and recruit Shi Chao, and in the end he chose to be Taiwei Wang Yan's subordinate.

"Father, my son thinks that we should set off today and return to our hometown in Hebei. Yuan Shi is a man who will take revenge. My father has offended this man in his early years, and this man is well known for his hatred of his father. The son said that a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. The child has already obtained Accurate news, Yuan Shi overwhelmed Wang Situ and Wang Taiwei in Zhao Wangfu, and asked the two princes to agree to take the lead in persuading him to enter the table and assist Zhao Wang to ascend to the throne. With the endorsement of the two princes, it can be said that Zhao Wang ascended to the throne. It's a certainty. As King Zhao's most powerful assistant, Yuan Shi will naturally go one step further. Father, now that Yuan Shi and the others are neglecting to take revenge on our family, we must leave Shangluo as soon as possible."
