I will be the master of Xuande

Chapter 190 The Yuan Family's Great Plan

After the rest of the idlers left, Yuan Ji's mansion was left only with him and the second generation of Yuan family members surnamed Yuan.

For the Yuan family, there are certain matters that only their own family can get together to talk about, and it is inconvenient for outsiders to hear them.

Yuan Ji looked back and forth at the crowd and said, "The Son of Heaven made Liu Yu and Lu Zhi the governors of the state, and gave Liu Deran the right to fake axe. This is to arrange for him after his death."

Yuan Dong said with a smile: "Brother Wuyou, now Dong Zhuo has exhausted his military power in the northwest, Liangzhou's rebellion is no longer a climate, the people in the northwest are tough, and Dong Zhuo himself is from Liangzhou. Based on horses, we will recruit Qiang soldiers from Liangzhou, this is our big foreign aid, no matter how the emperor arranges it, it will be in vain."

After hearing this, Yuan Ji nodded in satisfaction.

"However, after the death of the emperor, what should our Yuan family do next?" Yuan Yin asked from the side.

Yuan Ji stood up slowly, and said: "I have already discussed this matter with my uncle, and my uncle feels that at this time, it is a god-given opportunity for my family, the Yuan family, and we should not miss it."

"After the Son of Heaven is gone, the new emperor will be enthroned. The emperor is still young, and he will rely on He Jin for everything. However, if the butchers of He Jin want to control the court, they also need to rely on our Yuan family. In this way, major events in the court can be decided. It’s also time for you brothers to go to the place to practice.”

After Yuan Ji finished speaking, the second-generation children of the Yuan family suddenly became more energetic.

Everyone was gearing up and looking at each other, all with joyful faces.

After all, I have been in the capital for many years, if I can really be sent to a place as a shepherd guard, the feeling of leading a party, as long as I think about it, it will be wonderful.

Yuan Ji looked at the crowd back and forth, and said: "Of course, I will definitely fight for the position of Mu Shou for you brothers, but it will not be so easy if you think about it, and not all the court officials are on our Yuan family's side. "Among Liu's clan, there are only three shepherds, so I, Yuan, can't be more than three as shepherds, do you understand this?"

No matter how powerful the Yuan family is, they cannot surpass the royal family on the bright side. Yuan Ji grasped this measure very accurately.

Among the Yuan family's children, some people couldn't help but feel a little disappointed after hearing this.

If there are really only three people who can serve as Mushou, then don't think too much, the first people to be arranged must be Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, these two people directly occupy two positions.

It's really hard to say who the remaining one is.

Sure enough, Yuan Ji stood up slowly, glanced at the second generation of the Yuan family present for a long time, and finally set his eyes on Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu who were sitting side by side.

"At the beginning, you deserved the position of Beimu envoy of Jingzhou."

Yuan Shao got up hastily, and said: "Thanks to elder brother's trust, I will do my best!"

Yuan Ji then looked at Yuan Shu again: "The position of Beimu envoy of Yangzhou, Gonglu, I will try my best to fight for you!"

Yuan Shu was overjoyed when he heard the words.

However, he still looked at Yuan Shao enviously.

If it is possible to exchange, he still hopes to exchange with Yuan Shao.

Although Yangzhou Beimu can control large counties such as Jiujiang County, Lujiang County, and Danyang County, there is still a gap compared to the three counties Yuan Shao can control when he becomes Jingzhou Beimu, Nanyang, Jiangxia, and Nanjun.

After all, Nanyang County is the largest county in the world, with a population of 240 million, almost equal to the population of Youzhou.

But no matter what, it was assigned by Yuan Ji. Even though Yuan Shu was jealous of Yuan Shao, he didn't have the ability to make Yuan Ji take back his life.

Besides, according to Yuan Ji's intention, he could fight for the Yuan family's three shepherd positions at most, and it was impossible to surpass the clan members of the Han family. This was the limit.

Of the three positions, being able to assign him to Yuan Shu is already enough to show the brotherhood.

As for the remaining position of state shepherd.

Yuan Ji's heart is a little off now.

He looked around at everyone present.

Yuan Xu is also from Yuan Feng's lineage, but like Yuan Shao, he is a concubine. Yuan Shao adopted Yuan Cheng to take charge of the house, but Yuan Xu's status is not high. In the future, he will be a prefect. The important position of state shepherd is absolutely beyond his turn.

Yuan Yin's situation is the same as Yuan Xu's.

Yuan Zhong is the second son of Yuan He. Although Yuan He used to be the Prime Minister of Pengcheng with two thousand stones, in the Yuan family with deep roots, two thousand stones can be found everywhere. In contrast, Yuan He can only be a second-line player.

Yuan Zhong, Yuan Hong, and Yuan Hong belonged to the generation of Yuan He's family. Except Yuan Zhong was here, the other two brothers were all self-restraining and elegant, hiding in Runan and not serving official duties, which made Yuan Ji a little annoyed.

The family needs you to contribute, but you hold on to your identities and hide in Runan as hermits. Do members of the Yuan family in Runan live in seclusion?
Because of the relationship between Yuan Hong and Yuan Hong, Yuan Ji's feelings towards Yuan Zhong are also average, so it is naturally impossible to entrust him with a heavy responsibility.

As for Yuan Kai's three sons, Yuan Ying died, and Yuan Ji felt that the remaining two, Yuan Dong and Yuan De, were somewhat inferior in ability.

In this way, there is another Yuan Yi, who is quite famous among the second-generation nephews of the Yuan family.

He is a person who is the best in the world, and has the ability to work hard.

Thinking of this, Yuan Ji turned to Yuan Yi: "Bo Ye, this great responsibility belongs to you."

Yuan Yi stood up hastily, cupped his hands and said, "If brother can trust me, then just make arrangements, but in the opinion of elder brother, where should I go?"

Yuan Ji pondered for a long time before slowly opening his mouth and said: "Yizhou, Yizhou Beimu, it's you."

Yuan Yi pondered for a while, and said, "Brother wants me to keep an eye on Liu Yan?"

Yuan Ji nodded, and said: "Actually, I have always been a little puzzled. Then Liu Yanxu is old and good-looking, why does he have to go to the middle of Shu? After all, it is not a good place, but since Liu Yan took office in Shu, I finally understand that this person has no good intentions."

"When Liu Deran was in Jizhou, no matter what he did, he sent people to report to Shangshutai regularly. There was no hindrance to the government orders between the local government and the imperial court. However, since Liu Junlang entered Shu, he seemed to have disappeared. The roads in Guanzhong are impassable, and all the post stations are closed, it is obvious that there is a problem!"

Yuan Shao interjected: "I've thought of this too, but now the states in the world are rebelling frequently, and the court is entangled in all kinds of affairs, so there is no time to take care of him, but just imagine, this Liu Yan is a shepherd, but he chose the most remote place with the most blocked roads. After going to Sichuan, what is the meaning of closing the gates and roads? Hehe, the rebellious heart is clearly revealed."

In fact, as far as the Yuan family is concerned, the state herdsmen of the Liu clan established by Liu Hong are all thorns in their eyes, especially after the local princes and kings opened their mansions. Wang Zicheng's faction is bound to pose a threat to the wealthy families of the states and counties.

Therefore, once a reason is found, the well-dressed family headed by the Yuan family will naturally cut off the Liu family's state shepherds supported by Liu Hong.

If Liu Yan is in charge of the entire territory of Yizhou, and the country is closed to the outside world, the noble family may have nothing to do with him for a while. After all, the land of Shu is too dangerous and it is too difficult to enter the kingdom of Shu.

But now, Liu Yan only occupies half of the land of Shu.

In this way, it is impossible for Liu Yan and his son to hide in Shu for more than 20 years to recuperate, as they did in history, and it has nothing to do with them even if the Central Plains are turned upside down.

There is no doubt that under the current situation, Liu Yan's family in Xishu will not be able to escape if the world is in chaos, and they will inevitably participate in the competition.

In other words, it is impossible for them to stay out of the matter, and they must choose sides.

"Boye, you go to Nanzheng and sit in Hanzhong. You are in charge of Hanzhong County, Bajun County, and Guanghan vassal states. You need to carefully monitor Liu Yan's movements! If he has any acts of disobedience, he should always report to the court, and he will be defeated!"

Yuan Yi said: "Well, it's just brother. In the south of Yizhou, the most affluent Shu, Guanghan, and Qianwei counties are all under Liu Yan's control. Badi is a barren land. Once Liu Yan is found to have rebellious deeds, I'm afraid I can't beat him."

Yuan Ji said with a smile: "You can rest assured that you are in Hanzhong, and you cut Liu Yan's throat in the north, and the east of Badi is the gateway from Jingchu to Sichuan. It was originally in Nanyang, which is enough Be your foreign aid."

"You two brothers, one in the north and the other in the east, are enough to put Liu Yan to death!"

Yuan Shao flicked his long sleeves, and said: "Brother Boye, when Liu Yan first arrived in Yizhou, if he wanted to control Shu, he must attract people from the Kanto to Sichuan, but if you can control Hanzhong, and I will cooperate with you to control Bai The emperor's road, the people of Dongzhou will not be able to enter Shu County, and our brothers will join forces to detain all the people of Dongzhou in Hanzhong and Badi for our own use."

"Based on the prestige of the Yuan family in Runan, and the help of the detained and extradited Dongzhou scholars, Liu Yan will not be afraid for three to five years. If he dares to rebel, he will be disciplined and appointed head north!"

Yuan Yiyan said: "I have a good opinion at the beginning."

Yuan Yin on the side said: "If Liu Yan can be restrained, there will only be Liu Jian from Jizhou and Liu Yu from Qingzhou among the Liu's state herdsmen. How to deal with these two?"

"Crack!" Yuan Ji slapped the table suddenly, and said angrily: "What nonsense! Liu Deran is my best friend, not someone else, whoever dares to plot against him, don't blame me for turning against me!"

Seeing Yuan Ji's anger, Yuan Yin was too frightened to say anything.

Yuan Zhong said cautiously: "Brother, we know that brother and Liu Deran are close friends, but after all, he is a relative of the Liu family and a state shepherd, and now he still has the right to festival Yue, so he has to be somewhat restricted. It’s not restricting him, but getting someone to watch over him.”

Yuan Xu also said: "Yes, yes, brother can ignore Liu Deran, but at least he has to send some people in Hebei to watch him, so you can rest assured!"

Yuan Ji frowned, seemingly displeased.

At this time, I saw Yuan Shaodao: "Brother, what you say is for the sake of the Yuan family. My brother recommends a few people to help my brother keep an eye on Deran. Our Yuan family will not interfere with him, but we will send people to Hebei Serving, what are you watching him do, this is the head office? Could it be that he, Liu Deran, is afraid that people will not see him?"

Yuan Ji sighed lightly: "Tell me, who do you want to recommend?"

Yuan Shaodao: "Ding Yuan from Taishan County is brave and good at military affairs. Zhang Yi from our county in Runan and Zhang Yang from Bingzhou are all worthy of great use. After your majesty dies, we can arrange these people to be stationed in the village. Bingzhou and Hanoi, and find a leader in our Yuan clan, so that we can closely monitor Liu Deran's movements."

Although Yuan Ji believed in Liu Jian, he also knew that under the advice of so many brothers, it would be somewhat unreasonable if he did not make any arrangements in Hebei.

If it is too partial, I am afraid it will be difficult to convince the public.

"Okay, then act according to the original words."
