Waves at the end of Han Dynasty

Chapter 26 Crown Clan
If Yuan Shao were placed in later generations, he would definitely be regarded as a person who sings and sings every night. As long as he is not called by the "boss" in the clan, he will not go home all day. The top card in Goulan is the "Persian cat" from the Western Regions...at least he thinks so...

What he likes is to accept the praise of "heroes" from all walks of life as the eldest son of the Yuan family. In their eyes, Yuan Shao is the future of the Yuan family. In their eyes, Yuan Shao is so knowledgeable, humble and open-minded. This kind of ordinary appearance, which was used as a backdrop for the green leaves of the handsome and talented younger brother Yuan Shu, was so romantic and suave in their eyes...

In the past, he was also diligent and diligent in completing every instruction in the clan, and he frequently gained fame and fame among heroes outside the clan. Three years ago, he went to Runan County Shangcai as the magistrate and completed many arrangements in the clan , has also achieved good political achievements, and it is said that he is also widely loved locally...

But just after he resigned from office and reaped a lot of fame, he returned to his family with great ambitions, only to find that the future he had planned and envisioned had already been turned upside down...

He didn't understand why he had to be instilled with the spirit of sacrifice and dedication by the elders of the clan since he was a child; he didn't understand why he was arranged by the clan to do the most tiring and unachievable work when he was obviously smarter than all the younger generations in the clan; I have worked hard to accumulate a lot of fame, but I still have to be arranged to be a chess piece that may be discarded at any time; I don’t understand why the little brother who followed behind me every day when I was young and didn’t understand anything, and grew up to be useless to the clan, why suddenly He was designated as the heir of the Yuan family...

After a short period of depravity and indulgence, Yuan Shao regained his sobriety. Yes, he was not reconciled, nor would he give up his pursuit, so he continued to have fun on the surface, but in fact he was always secretly looking for opportunities.

On the third floor of Luoyang Huaxia Restaurant, the banquet called by Yuan Shao was still going on. The bearded woman in tulle was wriggling her body and dancing hard. Everyone in the hall after drinking for three rounds was a little intoxicated for a while, but Yuan Shao himself was a little dazed. thinking about...

At this time, one of Yuan's servants walked up the stairs quickly and whispered a few words into Yuan Shao's ear. Yuan Shao's face quickly became serious, and he bowed his hands and said to everyone: "Everyone, the elders of the clan are urgently recruiting, and I forgive Shao for being slow, everyone. Continue to drink and talk here, and I will bear the cost here, and I will make amends in the future, so I will say goodbye..."

In Taifu's mansion, Yuan Kui watched Yuan Shao, who was slightly drunk, come to salute, frowned and relaxed, and responded with a look to Yuan Shu, who was on the other side, and asked him to sit aside and not care about it.

"Everything is happening frequently this year, and there are changes in all parties. What do you two think?" The current situation and the consensus of the clan, Yuan Kai has actually talked with Yuan Shu just now, and here I ask again in front of Yuan Shao It is to let Yuan Shu show more, so that Yuan Shao can concentrate on helping him.

After Yuan Shu was decided to be the heir by the clan, Yuan Kai often arranged such behaviors, because he had tried his best to promote that decision.

To say that Yuan Kai had any prejudice against Yuan Shao, in fact there was no such thing. Both of them were his nephews, and it wasn't a so-called issue of concubines, it was just because he liked Yuan Shu very much since he was a child, and sometimes he didn't know why.

But he knew that, as the only crown clan in the world, the most important thing was that the power in the clan should not be dispersed and opinions must be unified, so since the decision had been made, he had to obey it, including himself.

What's more, the current situation in the world is so chaotic. For Yuan Shi, it is an opportunity but also has a big risk. Maybe one mistaken move will lose the whole game, so he and Yuan Shi must be cautious.

The development of the gentry in the Han Dynasty to the present, in fact, the difference in strength between the second-rate and third-rate gentry is not large, and the ranking of strength is often changed. , is basically difficult to be surpassed.

Therefore, if the world is in chaos, Yuan Wei feels that it is not friendly to the Yuan family, because they are already the crown family, and Yuan Wei does not dare to think about it. There is not much improvement, so their first request is to maintain their current status, and then talk about the harvest...

When Yuan Kai was thinking and distracted, Yuan Shu made a generalization based on the content of the conversation between the two of them. Yuan Shao looked carefully at Yuan Shu who was talking eloquently, and then at Yuan Kai who seemed to be in a daze. He knew in his heart that they were We have communicated in advance, and it seems that we will be notified again today, "Okay, come here, no matter how difficult it is, Yuan Benchu ​​will not back down!"

"What you saw on the road is very comprehensive, Shao admires it." Yuan Shao hurriedly got up and saluted sincerely.

"Well... that's true. The Xianbei barbarians, the remnants of Longwei, and the Taiping slander seem to have sharpened their swords. The Yang family's son teased Qiang Di with the intention of plotting to quell the imperial court's financial resources... but I don't know if the world will be chaotic at that time. What's the use of a little wealth...so we shouldn't get caught up in the Qing Dynasty." Yuan Kai kept looking ahead as if he didn't hear the conversation between the two, but after Yuan Shao finished speaking, he nodded his head slightly, and then calmed down Said.

"However, there are many gentry in Yuzhou and the population is crowded, so it is difficult to expand. Recently, there was a catastrophe in Yanzhou. On the highway, you used the name of the Yuan family to provide relief there. People from the Runan tribe have already sent people to Dongjun, Jiyin, Dongping and other places. The catastrophe in Yuzhou was severe, and the Taiping Taoists did not go deep. It can be said that it is a good opportunity... If there are surviving nobles and clans, you will mediate as the Taifu Fufu, and you will get the seal and a certain handwriting later. Zhongzicai, take advantage of this opportunity to expand the foundation of the clan to cope with the changing situation. In addition, find hidden places in these counties to recruit refugees and train them into an army, in case of emergencies!" Yuan Kai looked at him with encouraging eyes. Looking at Yuan Shu, he said that this is a good opportunity he has been looking for, no matter it is for Yuan Shi or Yuan Shu, as long as he succeeds, he can take a big step forward.

"Follow my uncle's order, and Shu will do his best to live up to his entrustment!" Yuan Shu stood up, straightened his robes, and saluted Yuan Kai calmly and proudly.

"At the beginning, I made a lot of friends, so I stayed in Luoyang to continue to listen to the news from all parties. You said the day before yesterday that the Xun family has changed, and someone has already sent someone to investigate, but listen to what you said. If it is true, they contacted Ma Rizhao and Cai Bojie. , Zang Ziyuan, Lu Zigan and others must be "that person"..., but "that person"...has been entrusted for many years, will the harem follow what they say?" Yuan Kai patted Yuan Shu on the shoulder as a sign of encouragement. He sat down, turned around and chatted with Yuan Shao again...

For this concubine Yuan Shao, Yuan Kai had to admit that he was really smart and capable. He originally wanted to promote more, but he still had the heart to take the helm of the Yuan family...

Therefore, after Yuan Kui found out, he could only take various measures to dispel his thoughts, try to stay by his side in order to control him at critical times, and incidentally use it as Yuan's external appearance to cover up Yuan Shu's secret actions.

If it really comes to a critical moment, it can only be...
