I am not Yuan Shu

Chapter 156 Blood Oath

Seeing Wei Jia's excited statement, Yuan Shu was really happy.

When it comes to such a major event as deposing and enthroning the emperor, I didn't expect Wei Jia to be so willing to fight for me.

Could it be that what Cheng Li said was true?
Can the warmth from my central air conditioning really completely warm everyone's cold hearts?
Dou Yun, who was beside Wei Jia, also immediately walked to Yuan Shu and held Yuan Shu's other hand.

"Mr. Yuan, I am willing to charge into the battle line for you, even if I die, I will have no regrets!"

Dou Yun expressed his feelings passionately, and was no less emotional than Yuan Shu.

The third one is Jia Xu.

Jia Xu felt very sorry that Yuan Shu did not have a third hand, and was very unhappy with Wei Jia and Dou Yun who were quick-eyed and quick-handed, but he did not say anything and bowed.

"I am a humble man from Liangzhou. I am deeply grateful to Lord Yuan for his trust and for entrusting me with important tasks. Now I can fight for Lord Yuan, which is exactly what I have always dreamed of! Lord Yuan, please entrust me with important matters!"

Zhao Jun also stepped forward and bowed.

"Jun has been in a daze for more than ten years, not knowing why he was born or why he studied. It was not until he met Yuan Jun that he realized the true meaning of life. For this, I am deeply grateful and only regret that I have no chance to repay Yuan Jun's kindness. Now that I have such an opportunity, I will never miss it!"

Immediately afterwards, Dai Hua, Luo Yi, Zhang Jie, Su Chu, Ma Ran and others stepped forward to express their opinions, followed by the rest of the people, and the big fool Shao Yuan also followed suit.

They all expressed strong and absolute support, and they wished they could take out their hearts and intestines and show them to Yuan Shu to prove their loyalty and their strong desire to repay Yuan Shu.

In the end, even Lu Zhi strengthened his belief after a brief hesitation.

"The Han Dynasty is already riddled with problems, with eunuchs ruling in disorder and the emperor being absurd. Without someone like Yuan Jun to lead the way, the Han Dynasty will completely collapse. Therefore, Zhi is willing to follow Yuan Jun, eradicate the treacherous and corrupt officials, and wipe out the evildoers, in order to regain a bright and peaceful world for the Han Dynasty!"

In fact, Lu Zhi, the co-founder of Yi Xin Hui, also strengthened his belief at this moment.

Yuan Shu then realized that Cheng Li was right, and that the changes he had brought to this group of people and his expectations for the future were of great significance.

They felt that they had received too many favors, and they felt very uneasy and eager to repay themselves.

But for a long time, he just gave without asking for anything in return, which made his subordinates feel grateful but also anxious.

If too much of this kind of emotion accumulates and is not expressed, it will cause problems.

Therefore, it is very necessary for Yuan Shu to give them this opportunity.

Thinking of this, Yuan Shu felt a little embarrassed, so he told everyone everything he had done before, and felt guilty for not showing sincere trust in everyone.

"You all had high hopes for me, but I did not trust you back. Instead, I worried about the leak and planned to keep it secret until the beginning of the uprising. If it were not for Zhongde's reminder, I would have almost misunderstood your sincerity. This is my fault, and I must apologize to you."

Yuan Shu bowed to everyone.

"Mr. Yuan..."

Everyone was deeply moved, and Wei Jia, Dou Yun and others were even in tears, unable to control their emotions.

They feel that their life has been worth it.

But this is not enough.

"Since you are so sincere, the tree should also give you absolute trust in return. For the rest of my life, you will not let the tree down, and the tree will not let you down. If this great event succeeds, the tree will share the future with you. If it fails, please die with the tree, and in the next life, we will create the Yi Xin Society again and accomplish great things again!"

Yuan Shu bowed again.

Lu Zhi, Cheng Li, Jia Xu and the Thirteen Guardians finally broke down and could no longer hold back their emotions. They burst into tears and felt extremely lucky and happy to have such an excellent and sincere leader as Yuan Shu. It was also from this moment that a trust was established between Yuan Shu and his top leadership core circle that would not be easily damaged.

In order to further demonstrate their loyalty, Jia Xu proposed that everyone swear an oath of allegiance to Yuan Shu and never betray him. Anyone who violated the oath would suffer a miserable death, in order to completely dispel Yuan Shu's concerns.

Everyone responded by dropping their blood into the wine and drinking together.

A blood oath is the highest level of oath. Once a blood oath is made, it means there is no turning back. Whether in one's own heart or in the eyes of others, one is a person with no turning back and will not give up until one achieves his goal.

This was beyond doubt until Sima Yi pointed at the Luo River and farted.

After this blood oath was reached, Cheng Li suggested that the people with outstanding performance and trustworthiness in all major departments of Yi Xin Hui should be brought in to inform them of the matter so that they could be somewhat prepared.

It is very difficult to get things done with only a dozen people here. Those managers in important positions should also join in and form a supreme command center to accomplish big things. We should start to formulate the detailed rules of action now.

Although it is said that plans cannot keep up with changes, there can be no changes without plans.

Cheng Li's proposal was supported by everyone. They all said that Yuan Shu had done a great favor to the members of Yi Xin Hui, and many of them wanted to repay him, but they just had no way to do so.

After thinking about it for a while, Yuan Shu nodded in agreement, and asked everyone to go out and find the most outstanding subordinates, the most responsible, the most promising and the most trustworthy people to discuss the matter together.

Yuan Shu first returned to Luoyang City secretly and told Yuan Feng and Yuan Wei that he had already accomplished his task. He also learned from Yuan Feng and Yuan Wei that the palace was still busy with the funeral arrangements for Empress Dowager Dou.

Previously, the eunuchs hoped to minimize the political impact of Empress Dowager Dou's death as much as possible, so they wanted to bury Empress Dowager Dou as a noble lady in another place instead of burying her with Liu Zhi.

This resulted in strong opposition from the court officials, who were furious and kept criticizing the situation in the memorials. The eunuchs felt guilty, and Liu Hong was still grateful to Empress Dowager Dou for enthroning him as emperor, so he agreed to the ministers' request and buried Empress Dowager Dou and Liu Zhi together.

But this incident angered many people, and the aftermath has not yet subsided. Yuan Feng and Yuan Wei believe that there will be follow-up to this incident.

However, since Yuan Shu has already arranged Liu Kui's affairs, the Yuan family can handle the subsequent Luoyang situation with greater confidence.

No matter how the situation in Luoyang develops next, they don’t have to worry about not being able to cope with it. Yuan Wei even put forward more radical suggestions.

He said that they should try to launch a military coup now, kill the eunuchs, and depose Liu Hong on the charge of "murdering Empress Dowager Dou". This would be reasonable.

However, the cautious Yuan Feng still raised objections, saying that although the eunuchs had made many stupid moves, they had not lost their composure.

At present, the main military force of Luoyang is still under the control of eunuchs, especially in the palace. There are not many people willing to fight to the death for the Yuan family. The centrists may not be reliable, so they still need to continue to manage and win people's hearts.

In other words, the eunuchs themselves need to make stupid moves and do more wrong things until the matter becomes completely out of control.

Only then will Yuan be able to defeat the enemy with one move and kill the enemy with one sword.

Yuan Shu expressed his support for Yuan Feng's opinion, and Yuan Wei no longer insisted. The three of them then made the final decision and waited for a better opportunity.

After the negotiation, it was already late, so Yuan Shu did not return to Luoyang Liangzhuang, but stayed in Yuan Mansion to rest for one night.

It was at this time that Yuan Feng, as if he had just remembered, told Yuan Shu something.

"Your brother has come to Luoyang and will soon take up his post as a palace official. Go and meet him. There were many misunderstandings between you when you were young. Now that you have grown up, you should not dwell on the past. If you can resolve them, then resolve them. After all, he is no longer the heir to the eldest house."

Yuan Feng was obviously not talking about Yuan Ji. When Yuan Ji came to Luoyang to be a palace attendant, Yuan Shu was still in mourning in Maoling. When Yuan Shu came to Luoyang, Yuan Ji had already been sent to Yanzhou to be a county magistrate for training.

It is said that he planned to serve as a county magistrate and a prefect, and then be directly transferred to the court to serve as a nine ministers, and strive to become one of the three highest officials before the age of forty, continuing the reputation of the Yuan family's three highest officials for generations.

For example, three dukes in five generations!
Therefore, the only person who could be in Yuan Mansion in Luoyang during this period of time could be Yuan Shao.
