The Yuan Family of the Three Kingdoms I call the shots

Chapter 141 Keeping Filial Piety (two chapters in one, [-] words)
In the hall of the General's Mansion, Guo Tu and Xin Ping, two confidantes who were inclined to Yuan Tan, both broke out in a cold sweat after listening to Yuan Shang's order.

I don’t know if I don’t see it, I was shocked when I saw it, Yuan Shang, this kid, looks gentle and refined on weekdays. Incomparable, a fatal blow!
If Chen Lin's statement denouncing Yuan Tan's unfilial piety was really published, Yuan Tan's reputation and status in the hearts of scholars from Hebei aristocratic families would plummet to the bottom of the valley.

The Yuan family is a wealthy family at the time, and is highly respected by the world's famous families. Once there is an evil, the degree of abandonment by the world is bound to be far higher than that of ordinary family children. At that time, Yuan Tan wants to stand up. Yuan Shang seized the foundations of the four prefectures, not to mention anything else, but in terms of all the rich families in Hebei, which of the four prefectures' aristocratic families would stand beside a person who bears the taboo of being an unfilial son?
What's more, Chen Lin's writing power is the best in the world. She can turn the dead into the living, and paint the white into black. What's more, from the surface, the truth is still on Yuan Shang's side.

What a vicious plan!

A proclamation pushed Yuan Tan to the opposite side of the world's scholars, and since then he has no wings, except for the old confidants, there will be no new help.
Don't underestimate this small denunciation article. In the world of the Han Dynasty, where filial piety and honesty are used to promote scholars, the power of public opinion with the word filial piety is just so powerful, just like modern nuclear weapons.

Xin Ping is mature, but still better, able to hold his breath.

The problem is that Guo Tu panicked.

After listening to Yuan Shang's order, I thought that I had put all my wealth on Yuan Tan. If I really turned to Yuan Tan in the future, my Guo clan would become the subordinates of the rebels. Faces stand in the forest of aristocratic families in the world?
No, absolutely must stop, must!

Thinking of this, he saw Guo Tu stepping out of the class, cupped his hands to Yuan Shang and said, "Sign up, my lord."

Yuan Shang's eyes lit up suddenly, he patted the table lightly, and said in a quiet tone, "What did you call me?"

"Well, I mean, my lord"

"Well, let's talk."

"My lord, my subordinates respect the gentlemen without loss, and are respectful and courteous to others. There are brothers all over the world. When the lord ascends to a high position, he should practice the way of benevolence. If he wantonly slanders his brother, how should the world treat the lord?" , and how will you treat the Yuan family, this is not advisable, please forgive me for disagreeing."

Yuan Shang looked at Guo Tu's elegant face, which was full of righteous words, which had a noble connotation of a minister dying for the king, and couldn't help sneering in his heart.

Now that this bastard is clearly thinking of Yuan Tan, he uses a tone that is good for me to persuade him?It's clear that I didn't pay attention to my IQ.

Yuan Tan turned his back on it, and I still have to pretend to be a gentleman with him?Is it possible that the words "taken advantage of me" are so clearly engraved on my face?
Beat sex!
Thinking of this, Yuan Shang couldn't help but smiled, and said slowly: "Then according to Mr. Gongze's opinion, how should we handle this matter?"

Seeing Yuan Shang's smile, Guo Tu thought his persuasion worked, and couldn't help but feel overjoyed.

Only those who knew Yuan Shang, such as Zhang Jai, Gao Lan, Deng Chang, Ju Shou, Pang Ji, Tian Feng, etc., couldn't help but collectively shuddered.

This bastard smiled so horribly, he must be pretending to be a bad thing.

Guo Tu didn't take it seriously, and said: "My lord, in my opinion, it's better not to make too much noise about this matter, and handle it carefully. My lord might as well send an envoy with a letter of accountability to Qingzhou to do something to the Qingzhou pastor. Punish and teach, ask him why he didn't come to the funeral with the lord, and order him to write a letter to save himself, so as to prevent the world from laughing at the lord's injustice, and secondly, it can also be a police training for Qingzhou Mu to make him change his past. For myself, the three things will not hurt the brotherhood, and the four things will not disappoint the old lord's dying intentions, it is really the best policy."

Guo Tuyue said that his voice became quieter, because he found that Yuan Shang's face was flat, without any sign of happiness or anger, like an old monk in meditation, and no one could figure out what he was thinking.

Guo Tu felt a little uncertain, and tentatively asked, "My lord, do you think what I just said makes sense? Is it feasible?"

Yuan Shang nodded solemnly and said: "Yes, it is feasible, it is really feasible."

Seeing that Yuan Shang agreed to his words, Guo Tu couldn't help being overjoyed: "Since the lord has agreed, then then"

Yuan Shang raised his hand and pointed at Guo Tu, and said: "Since it was your idea, then I will let you go to Qingzhou to reprimand my elder brother on my behalf, Mr. Guo, this matter has a bearing on the face of the Yuan family, and the responsibility is heavy, so don't worry about it." Let me down."

Guo Tu was overjoyed when he heard the words, rubbed his hands together and said cheerfully, "Don't worry, my lord, I will do my best. This mission, Qingzhou Mu, who is destined to weep bitterly, feels deeply remorseful and pleads guilty."

Yuan Shang nodded appreciatively, and waved his long sleeves: "Pack up your things and go on a mission."

Guo Tu obeyed, and quickly exited the main hall, but he didn't realize that when he was turning around, Yuan Shang's mouth outlined a sinister sneer.

Standing in a corner of the hall, Deng Chang looked at the excited Guo Tu, and felt deep sympathy in his heart.

"You two, you're done! You're still having fun."

Deng Chang thought lamentingly.

After waiting for Guo Tu to walk out of the hall, Yuan Shang didn't take it seriously, and slowly stretched out his second finger and said, "I've finished talking about the big brother, and the following is the second important thing I have to do before the funeral."

When everyone heard the words, they all sat upright, waiting for Yuan Shang's order.

Yuan Shang scanned the crowd slowly, and said word by word: "Black Mountain Army!"

A stone stirred up a thousand layers of waves, and everyone's expressions changed in an instant.

Black Mountain Army, a word that Yuan Shang dared not bring up casually in front of the old master, has finally been officially put on the table by Yuan Shang.

Yuan Shang ignored the various complex expressions of the crowd, and continued to speak on his own: "The Black Mountain Army, the old, the weak, and the strong, at least have 20 soldiers. For women and children who have no power to bind chickens, for me in Hebei, this force is water, water can carry a boat, and it can also overturn it. The expectation in Yuan's heart is very simple. The water that carries my big boat in Hebei has become the most powerful arm in Hebei, what I mean, do you understand?"

It's all about this, who is stupid, can't understand?

When Yuan Shang's words fell, he saw Xun Chen get up and leave the squad, saying: "The Battle of Cangting, the Black Mountain Army is like a strange army, and it helped our army repel Cao Cao. He is definitely not Cao Jun's opponent, and it is normal to bring the Black Mountain Army under his command because of emotion, reason, and situation."

The examiner frowned and said: "But when the old master was here in the past, he had some indissoluble grudges with the Black Mountain Army. Now that he passed away, we will surrender the Black Mountain Army and pass it on. It's not right."

"It's easy."

But seeing Jushou stroking his beard, he said with a smile: "Before accepting the surrender of the Black Mountain Army, the lord can write a letter of guilt, saying that it is the community of the world and accepting the Black Mountain Army for the people of the four prefectures. The Eye of Lin Quan! And led Zhang Yan to worship at the old lord's grave, begging the old lord's spirit in heaven to forgive him for his crimes, and the lord will bear all the consequences. There are no mistakes or omissions in doing things, and it should be able to block the mouths of the world."

Yuan Shang nodded with a smile, and said, "This plan is very sneaky."

Everyone's face changed immediately when they heard the words.

"Cough, cough! I mean, this plan is very subtle and clever. Well, and the third thing is about my future political affairs in Hebei. , I intend to select elite soldiers from the army, and all the rest will be dismissed, sent back to farms, cultivated fields to raise food, enriched Ao warehouses, and in addition to intensify military training, forge ordnance, and consolidate local internal affairs."

Tian Feng couldn't help showing a smile when he heard the words.

Yuan Shang once promised him that his recuperation policy would be implemented, and today is the time for him to fulfill his promise.

"Tian Feng!" Yuan Shang turned to greet him as expected.

"Subordinates are here."

"Prepare a specific process for recuperation, layoffs and downsizing, as well as a government strategy that should be reformed. After the mourning ceremony, I will check it as soon as possible."

"promise."

Yuan Shang looked around at the crowd, and said again: "There are still some issues about personnel promotion, appointment and transfer. We will discuss together after I observe my mourning. During my mourning, Hebei military affairs will be handled by you. Please take care of me. "

All the ministers worshiped together: "My lord is wise, we dare not try our best to wait for you."

Yuan Shang gently waved his sleeves, and said: "Everyone has worked hard these few days, let's go back and rest first, but we still have work to do in the future. Mascot, you stay with Zhao Yun, Pang Ji, and Deng Chang. I have something else to tell you."

Sima Yi was taken aback when he heard the words, feeling a little uncomfortable.

Stay with Zhao Yun, Pang Ji, and Deng Chang?The implication is that he is not a human anymore?
Everyone bowed and retreated after hearing the words, only Deng Chang, Sima Yi, and Zhao Yunpangji were left. They looked at Yuan Shang with different thoughts, wondering why he wanted to leave them behind.

After everyone left, Deng Chang smiled and said to Yuan Shang in a low voice: "Okay! There are a few times, the order is quite methodical, ordering people to come and go one by one, it's a bit like being a lord !"

In front of these garlics, Yuan Shang had nothing to be afraid of. He leaned his body on the table and said nonchalantly, "What's the problem? Who can't pretend? Shocking a tiger's body, scatter bastards, that's all." It's so strong, you can do the same."

Sima Yi held his nose in depression, and said, "What are we doing here? Are you watching a bath for hundreds of people?"

Yuan Shang shook his head heavily, and said: "What nonsense are you talking about? My father just died, if I still have the mind to fix this, wouldn't I become King Zhou? I have something to tell you!"

Hearing this, Pang Ji cupped his hands and said, "What do you want to say, my lord?"

Yuan Shang was silent for a while, and then slowly said: "Guo Tu is a man with evil intentions, just now he used some pedantic principles to persuade me not to publicize Yuan Tan's disobedience, and asked me to go to Qingzhou to ask the envoy to be held accountable. It’s because you don’t want to wear a pair of pants with me, there were too many people talking just now, and there are some things that I can’t do too vilely.”

Pang Ji's expression tightened, and he hesitated: "Master, you don't want to do things that are bad, but you want us to do it?"

"Yuantu, you are really smart, talented and beautiful. I really can't hide anything from you. If you are born into a woman, you will be a first-class female star in a brothel. My heart is very comforted."

Hearing this, Pang Ji proudly puffed up his chest, but soon realized that the charm in it was wrong, and the chest that had just puffed up quickly shriveled again.

Yuan Shang slapped the table heavily, and said: "I'm very upset that Guo Tu went to Qingzhou this time, but I didn't block Youyou's mouth, and it's not easy to stop me on the surface. I want you guys to lead your confidants, Pretend to be Yuan Tan's subordinate in Qingzhou, go knock him out, and teach Guo Tu a lesson."

The four were shocked when they heard the words.

Pang Ji wiped his sweat and said, "Your Majesty, you want us to pretend to be soldiers from Qingzhou, prevent Jizhou from envoys to be held accountable, and ruin Yuan Tan's reputation with injustice?"

"That's what it means." Yuan Shang seemed very calm, and spoke slowly.

What is it?That's exactly what it means.

Sima Yi frowned, and said, "My lord, this method is too vicious, isn't it a bit low-handed?"

"Are you doing it? Why didn't I see it, it's a bit obscene."

Pang Ji also shook his head and said, "My lord, once this method comes out, it would be good if Guo Tu doesn't see through it. If someone sees through, you'll be fine, and our reputation will be rotten."

Yuan Shang blinked his eyes and said, "What do you mean... you don't want to do me this favor anymore?"

Deng Chang wiped the man on his head, and said weakly: "It's not that I don't want to help, but it's a bit too contrary to the general idea of ​​Confucianism, and a gentleman should definitely not do it."

Zhao Yun, who had been silent all this time, snorted coldly, shook his head, and said disdainfully, "I swear not to do anything against the hero's benevolence and righteousness! If you want me to help you get rid of black people, don't even think about it!"

"So dragging?" Yuan Shang was a little dumbfounded, and said: "You are my direct descendants, and you refuse to help with such a trivial matter? It's so embarrassing!"

Sima Yi chuckled, and said: "The direct line belongs to the direct line, but this kind of thing of pretending to be an enemy and hurting oneself is really too bad reputation! I have read the books of sages since I was young, and I pay attention to etiquette and morality. It's nothing more than a trivial matter, but such a nasty act. Please forgive me and swear to die!"

After the four expressed their opinions one by one, the hall was silent like death.

Yuan Shang's expression gradually became gloomy, and the forehead between the sword eyebrows was deeply furrowed like a river, looking at Yin Que.

"This matter cannot be entrusted to others. You are my direct descendants. This matter must be handled by one of the four of you!"

The four of you looked at me and I looked at you, but no one answered.

Yuan Shang got angry when he saw this, he slapped the table heavily, and said angrily: "Brothers in battle, father and son soldiers in battle, we are such a small circle and still can't get together, how will we do things with Cao Cao in the future? Sima Yi, let me ask first." You, if you accomplish this, I will give you a bath of hundreds of people and expand it to a bath of thousands of people. After one month, I will definitely fulfill my promise! How about it, let you pretend to be the Qingzhou army to hijack and clean up Guo Tu, you go or not Go? Tell me!"

Sima Yi's face immediately turned red when he heard the words, and two lines of bright red nosebleeds slowly flowed down the crowd, very beautiful and dazzling.

"The monarch is worried about the humiliation of the minister, the emperor's humiliation and the death of the minister, and it is the duty of the subordinates to share the worries of the master. Why should we thank you with this heavy gift? The master's words are serious, and the matter that harms Yuan Tan and Guotu, Yi is willing to be the front. pioneer!"

Yuan Shang nodded, then turned to Deng Chang and said, "Master Deng Bo came with me from the Central Plains. It has been a long time and he has worked hard. Now that I am the lord of the four states, I want to worship Master Deng Bo as the military commander of the General's Mansion to offer wine! It’s like Cao Mengde’s relatives like Guo Jia, I don’t know if Deng Bo has any objections? If you want to do it or not, this is the only chance, if I don’t do it, I will change to someone else.”

Deng Chang was taken aback when he heard the words, then stomped his feet and said angrily: "Guo Tu, who is restless and self-confessed to assist Ming Gong, instead, is playing tricks to protect Yuan Tan's children everywhere, and doesn't care about our hard-won great unity in Hebei. , It’s unbearable to be familiar with! This Liangzi, Deng will set it up! The sage master has a spirit in heaven, and he will definitely forgive me.”

Yuan Shang took a deep breath, turned his head and said to Pang Ji: "I heard that Yuantu has five sons under his knees, and now the first two sons have performed the crown ceremony. I would like to order the local prefectures and counties to appoint two people as Xiaolian, and first find two small counties in Jizhou After a bit of experience, when you mature in the future, you will be recruited into Ye City, and together you will accomplish great things together! Yuan Tu, what do you think of this matter?"

Pang Ji's face twitched when he heard this, he got up and kicked the table in front of him, and screamed to the sky.

"Guo Tu, you bastard from Qin Muchu! The old lord treated you kindly before he was alive, how can you do such a thing to provoke civil strife? I will not beat you to death today. My surname is not Pang!"

After saying that, he turned around and was about to run out to find Guo Tu desperately, but was stopped by Sima Yi and Deng Chang desperately.

"Pang Gong, don't be impulsive!"

"Don't pull me! Damn it, whoever pulls me, I'm in a hurry!" Pang Ji was furious, showing his pride.

"Pang Gong calm down, this is a villain, it's not too late to settle accounts with him in the future, it's more important to listen to the lord first."

The two persuaded Pang Ji earnestly for a long time before he turned off the fire and sat on his knees, panting angrily.

Yuan Shang turned his head and set his eyes on Zhao Yun again.

"Five horses, ten fat sheep, fifteen altars of fine wine, twenty pairs of armor, and one beautiful woman for a price of one. Don't be afraid to do it anyway. Anyway, I have enough people! One more than you is not too much."

"Hmph!" Zhao Yun shook his head arrogantly, as if he was very disdainful of Yuan Shang's words.

Seeing this, Sima Yi, Deng Chang, and Pang Ji felt a little ashamed of themselves.

Wealth and honor cannot be promiscuous, poverty cannot be moved, and might cannot be subdued. This is called a real man. Compared with Zhao Zilong, we are still a little bit worse.

after a long time
"What kind of weapon does Yuan Tan like to use on weekdays? What color brocade robes and armor do he like to wear? If I pretend to be him, I have to measure up to look like him, so as not to reveal my secrets." Zhao Yun turned around and said quietly.

Beads of sweat involuntarily rolled down from behind everyone's foreheads.

Heroes, too, have fallen.

Looking at the four people coldly, Yuan Shang sighed deeply, patted the table and said with emotion: "It's not that I said you, take a pee and look in the mirror by yourself, what's wrong with each of you? If you have a request, tell me directly, are you guilty of messing with me? I still have to study you one by one! Are you tired? In the future, if you have this kind of mind, remember to use it on Cao Cao and Yuan Tan more, don’t be a day It's just trying to figure out my ability. It's disgusting."

Several people were ashamed when they heard the words, and their faces were very ashamed.

"Thank you, my lord, for your reminder. The lesson is that I've been fooled."

Yuan Shang waved his hand lightly, and sighed: "I look at you dizzy, don't annoy me here, get out, get out, I have to keep my filial piety."

********************
On the second day after the court meeting, according to the custom, Yuan Shang immediately lived in a side house next to the General's Mansion to keep Yuan Shao's filial piety.

Because it is filial piety, there should not be too much contact with outsiders. Living alone is the right way.

Logically speaking, with Yuan Shang's current prominent status, he should keep his filial piety for three years in accordance with ancient rituals, but in extraordinary times, he should do extraordinary things. If he really kept his filial piety for three years, Cao Cao might have beaten him to his door.

Therefore, Yuan Shang's filial piety period was only set for a short month.

In the dead of night, the sky is full of stars, and from time to time, a shooting star will pass by, dragging its long tail, very poignant and desolate.

Outside the ancestral hall where Yuan Shang kept his filial piety, a team of Huishuang battalion guards patrolled day and night, restrained and conscientious, using their bravery and loyalty to protect the safety of the lord in the house.

However, what they didn't know was that in this silent night, danger gradually shrouded around them.

In the alley not far away, at some point, two furtive figures appeared, an old man and a middle-aged man, with a bald head and a dirty face, and the middle-aged man's face was simple, straightforward and kind .

Immortal Master Zuo and Ge Xuan are here to eliminate demons again for the sake of the common people!

***********
On the main seat in the ancestral hall, Yuan Shao's spirit seat is placed, and next to it are black and white cloth hanging together, and the oil lamps in the hall are like beans, crying like complaints, as if photocopying the desolation of the ending of a generation of heroes.

Yuan Shang knelt and sat down, dressed in white mourning clothes, looking at Yuan Shao's tablet above, he couldn't help hesitating in his heart.

Yuan Shao left, but left himself a huge mess.

There is a strong enemy Cao Cao in the south, so forget it, but this Yuan Tan
Although I don't like him very much in my heart, but when I think about it carefully, he is undoubtedly my brother.

Blood is thicker than water, no matter how much you can't rely on it.

Yuan Shao's words before his death were very clear: "With your brothers here, why worry about the Yuan family's unhappiness, why worry about the world's unrest!"

However, as soon as Yuan Shao left, everything went downhill immediately.

The bloody situation of brothers killing each other is really about to happen.

Yuan Shang didn't want this, but he couldn't help it. The world is like chess and people are like pieces. Humans are a very humble creature. They can change their destiny, but they can't control the way of heaven, even if they are time travelers.

Living in this troubled world is not easy, and many things will not develop according to your expectations.

Brothers are of one heart, and their strength can break gold!Why did Yuan Shang not want to live such a life, but it is a pity that the sky does not follow people's wishes, he is destined to be just a passer-by in the long river of history. Butterfly wings can change the direction of the world, but they cannot drive the development of the world.

Yuan Shang is destined to be just a survivor struggling in the troubled times, working hard to survive.

The sound of light footsteps interrupted Yuan Shang's thoughts.

Turning his head away, he saw an unexpected person walking behind him at some point.

Zhen Mi was dressed in white mourning attire, walking like a light lotus, holding a food box in her hand, smiling all over her face, and came to Yuan Shang's side.

"It's you?" Yuan Shang's face showed deep surprise, and he couldn't believe it: "Why are you here?"

"Are you surprised?" The corners of Zhen Mi's mouth twitched slightly, revealing a smile that could turn all living beings, and then knelt beside Yuan Shang.

Slowly opened the food box, took out the food in it, gently placed it in front of Yuan Shang, and said with a smile: "Aren't you hungry, I made this with my own hands, would you like to try it?"

The aroma is tangy and it smells appetizing.

But Yuan Shang didn't care about this, but looked at Zhen Mi in amazement and said: "During my filial piety, before the full service, I lived at home and cut off all entertainment and communication to show my grief. There are my guards outside. These things have long been How can you be let in after you have given it to them?"

Zhen Mi gently swept the black hair at the sideburns with her showy hands, looking extremely charming, Li Ling smiled and said, "You are so smart, why don't you guess?"

Yuan Shang thought about it for a while, and suddenly showed surprise on his face, and said in amazement: "Could it be that your real identity is actually a peerless master who is unique in thousands, and you raised your hand and knocked down all my guards , and then came in through the main entrance?"

"Cough, cough!"

Zhen Mi blushed when she heard the words, and said shyly: "Minnv are a weakling, not as evil as you said."

"Then how did you get in?" Yuan Shang was full of curiosity.

Zhen Mi's face turned red, and she said in a low voice: "Actually, two days ago, the little girl went to the General's Mansion to pay her respects, and she met Madam. Madam loves you and is kind to me, so I am allowed to come over at a suitable time." Send some food and take care of your life by the way."

Zhen Mi's voice became lower and lower as she spoke, almost like the sound of mosquitoes at the end.

Yuan Shang couldn't help being very surprised when he heard the words, and looked at Zhen Mi in a daze.

I remember that before I came back to Yecheng from the Central Plains, I heard rumors that Mrs. Liu seemed to despise this girl?Why did I change my temper when I met a real person this time, and let this girl take care of my life instead?

This damn thing, how much did she benefit my old mother?Or did you take the ecstasy?

With the current situation, Yuan Shang also couldn't guess, he just put Zhen Mi's food between his head sullenly, and stuffed it into his mouth mouthful.

Zhen Mi smiled and watched Yuan Shang eating the dishes she made with her own hands, a small look of anticipation subconsciously appeared on her beautiful face.

"How is it? Is it delicious? I made this with my own hands."

Yuan Shang was still thinking about why Liu Shi suddenly asked Zhen Mi to come over. After hearing Zhen Mi's words, he didn't react for a while.

He just subconsciously said: "The vegetables are too salty, the meat is too bland, and the rice is still delicious. Unfortunately, I want to eat steamed buns now. You don't know what steamed buns are? I'll teach you how to make them some other day."

Having said that, she turned her head away, only to see Zhen Mi's still smiling face was filled with a faint scowl.

"Don't eat if it doesn't taste good." Zhen Mi closed the food box dissatisfied, pouted her mouth, her face full of resentment, very pleasant.
