I will be the master of Xuande

Chapter 234 Yuan Ji's Fear

At that moment, Jushou volunteered to ask Liu Jian for orders, and as an envoy, he went to Luoyang to meet Yuan Ji.

Jushou was very active in this task. After all, after coming to Liu Jian's subordinates, Jushou did not make any substantial contributions.

Although he made many favorable suggestions on Liu Jian's development policy, he did not solve specific problems.

To put it bluntly, it feels like talking on paper.

For him, being able to meet Yuan Ji as an envoy at this moment is also a great opportunity to show his personal value.

For Liu Jian, the fact that Ding Yuan attacked his army is also more sensitive.

Although Liu Jian guessed that this incident was not instigated by Yuan Ji, there is no such thing as a [-]% thing in this world. Everything has a chance to happen, it's just a matter of size.

What if it was Yuan Ji?

Only by sending a wise person like Jushou to negotiate with Yuan Ji and find out the truth can Liu Jian feel at ease.

Messenger work is not an easy job. Only those with great wisdom, who can see the current situation clearly, assess the situation, and know how to adapt to the situation can see clearly and understand clearly.

Therefore, while continuing to march towards Qingzhou, Liu Jian dispatched Jushou to return to Luoyang to report to the court that he had been attacked by Ding Yuan and had no choice but to fight back... At the same time, he also secretly asked Yuan Ji to prove the cause and effect of the incident.

Jushou stepped on his horse and went to Luoyang immediately.

……

After Jushou arrived in Luoyang, after some planning, he decided to visit Yuan Ji first, and then report the matter to the court.

It's not because Jushou is afraid of offending the Yuan family, but because he is very clever and knows what to do and what not to do at critical moments.

Regardless of whether Yuan Ji sent someone to do this matter or not, if he met Yuan Ji on behalf of Liu Jian, in terms of etiquette and friendship, he had done his duty for Liu Jian and did what he should do when he cut his throat.

This is equivalent to taking the lead in righteousness.

In the future, Yuan Ji and Liu Jian will turn against each other. Whether it is public or private, Liu Jian can stand up in terms of friendship, and Yuan Ji can't find Liu Jian's problem in this regard.

In this way, it is tantamount to leaving Liu Jian with a perfect personality, and there is no need to be afraid of Yuan's use of insidious tricks to discredit him.

Hearing that it was Liu Jian's emissary, Yuan Ji was quite surprised.

He couldn't think of why Liu Jian's envoy suddenly came to see him at this time.

Yuan Ji met Jushou and asked about Liu Jian's current situation.

Jushou first said hello to Yuan Ji, and brought Liu Jian's greetings and blessings to Yuan Ji, and then reported that Ding Yuan led his troops to attack Liu Jian at night, and Liu Jian had to break through the Hanoi army and killed Ding Yuan. Yuan Ji made a report.

"Ding Jianyang is an old official of the Yuan family. He led his troops to attack Liu Jizhou. Liu Jizhou had to fight with him to the death. Now Ding Yuan is dead, but he is a captain of cavalry after all. If Liu Jizhou does not report this matter to the court, he may be killed. If the suspicion of treason and personal struggle is reported, I am afraid that the Yuan family will be involved, so I specially ordered Ju to come here, inform Yuan Gong, and ask Yuan Gong to make a decision on this matter for Liu Shijun."

Yuan Ji opened his mouth wide after hearing Jushou's words, as if shocked by the news, he didn't know how to answer for a while.

Ju Shou watched with cold eyes, quietly watching Yuan Ji's facial condition.

He is also a scheming person, although he can't be sure, but just looking at Yuan Ji's reaction, Ju Shou feels that this matter has nothing to do with Yuan Ji in all likelihood.

When I was young, I heard Yuan Ji whispering to himself: "Why did Ding Yuan raise troops to attack Liu Deran without authorization? Could it be uncle's order? Then why didn't uncle discuss this matter with me?"

When muttering to this point, Yuan Ji looked at Jushou, but saw that Jushou was just standing there respectfully, as if waiting for Yuan Ji's reply.

Yuan Jichang sighed, and said: "Jugong, right? You go back and tell Deran that although he did not follow my order to join forces with Zhang Yi and others, I will never let Ding Yuan attack him! After all, my two Human friendship is not something that can be destroyed by such a trivial matter!"

When Yuan Ji said this, he said it firmly, righteously and sternly, and his face was very solemn.

Ju Shou cupped his hands and said, "Liu Jizhou doesn't believe it either. Because of such a trivial matter, Yuan Gonghui took action to ruin the friendship between Yuan Gong and Liu Jizhou."

Yuan Ji stood up and said to Ju Shou: "Ju Gonghe, although Yuan thinks he is not a saint, but he is open to his friends. You go back and report this matter to Shangshutai. Yuan will not mind. After all, This matter has nothing to do with Yuan."

Even Ju Shou couldn't help being moved by what he said.

The head of the Yuan family is indeed quite proud.

But if you think about it carefully, as the head of the Yuan family, how could he be like an ordinary person with his self-cultivation?
Afterwards, I saw Jushou salute Yuan Ji, said goodbye and left, and went to Shangshutai to report the matter.

And Yuan Ji was not idle, he immediately asked someone to prepare a car, and went to Yuan Kai's mansion for consultation in person.

When he arrived at Yuan Kai's mansion, Yuan Ji walked like the wind.

After a hasty meeting with Yuan Kai, Yuan Ji asked, "Uncle, did you send Ding Yuan to attack Liu Deran?"

Yuan Kui was very puzzled: "What do you mean by that? Why did Ding Yuan attack Liu Deran?"

Yuan Ji saw that Yuan Wei didn't know, so he gave him a general account of the matter.

After listening, Yuan Wei was silent for a while.

He had a dark expression on his face, as if he couldn't understand the cause and effect of this.

"That Dingyuan is not directly under the old man, isn't he the one recommended by you and Benchu ​​in the past?"

"At the beginning..."

Yuan Ji's face became stiff all of a sudden, he seemed to have thought of something.

Yuan Kui didn't think about what Yuan Ji was thinking about.

He frowned, looking quite depressed, and no matter what evil wind Ding Yuan had, he insisted on fighting Liu Jian to the death.

But in this way, Zhang Yi's army, the governor of Bingzhou, lost reinforcements and was easily annexed by Dong Zhuo.

This is what Yuan Kai does not want to see.

But different from what Yuan Kai thought, Yuan Ji is now very angry with Yuan Shao's actions.

What is Yuan Benchu ​​trying to do?
Without going through him and Yuan Wei, he secretly instructed Ding Yuan to fight Liu Jian...

Both Yuan Ji and Yuan Kai were a little out of their minds, so after chatting casually for a while, they each dealt with their own affairs.

After Yuan Ji left Yuan Kai's mansion, he suddenly felt extremely depressed. He went back to the mansion to gather his men, and asked them to prepare hunting items, and go hunting in the countryside with him.

When they came to the main gate leading to the outside of the city, some city gate officials directly blocked Yuan Ji's way.

"By the order of the Xiangguo, and there is no order from the Xiangguo, the ministers of Luoyang are not allowed to leave the city at will!"

Seeing this, Yuan Ji couldn't help being furious.

He pulled out the sword at his waist and roared at the gatekeeper, "Do you know who I am?"

The gatekeeper was expressionless.

"Yuan Situ."

"Since you know my identity, how dare you stop me from leaving the city?"

Before he could finish speaking, he saw a group of soldiers defending the city showing their weapons one after another, encircling Yuan Ji and his party.

All of a sudden, the faces of the Yuan family headed by Yuan Ji turned pale.

"Please return Situ to the mansion!"

The city gate official said loudly.

"Please return Situ to the mansion!"

A group of Xiliang sergeants uttered a chorus of reprimands.

The Yuan family had never seen such a battle before, so they were naturally frightened.

An attendant of the Yuan family gently tugged at Yuan Ji's sleeve: "Situ, the situation is not in our favor, so we can't force it. Let's go back first... and then find a chance to deal with it."

Yuan Ji's face was ashen, he actually realized a very serious problem.

Dong Zhuo has already set out to put him and Yuan Kui and others under house arrest in Luoyang!
