The Yuan Family of the Three Kingdoms I call the shots

Chapter 417 Emperor Liu Xie
On the second day after discussing with his family about recruiting Yuan Mai and Deng Ai into the army, Yuan Shang issued an order that Zhuo Yanliang's son and Wen Chou's son went to Yecheng to meet them.

Yan Yuan, the son of Yan Liang, is currently the Captain of the Tunqi School in Xindu City, and Wen Tu, the son of Wen Chou, is the Marquis of Yuyang County. Both of them are not working in Ye City, and it took a few days to call and transfer back and forth.

After the two came to Yecheng, they first waited for the ceremony at the posthouse, and then met with Yuan Shang.

When they actually met, Yuan Shang found that the appearance and temperament of the two were very different from what he had imagined.

When Yuan Shang returned to this era, it was at the end of the Battle of Guandu. At that time, Yan Liang and Wen Chou were both dead, so Yuan Shang had never seen them. However, after many years, he had some feelings for the two former generals whom Yuan Shao relied on the most. heard.

It is rumored that both of them are brave generals known for their bravery. Force is better than commanding an army. Their strengths are charging and attacking cities and villages.

His father was like this, so in Yuan Shang's mind, the sons of the second general should also be known for their bravery, and he silently defined the sons of the two as big and three rough, fierce-looking, and hulking.

It was only after meeting Yan Yuan and Wen Tu that Yuan Shang felt that his thoughts were a bit wishful thinking.

Yan Yuan and Wen Tu are not very old, both around 22 or [-] years old, slightly younger than Yuan Shang, with a height of seven or eight feet. They can't be called fierce, heroic, or handsome. They can only be regarded as ordinary, but they are after all. After Tiger General, both of them have a bit of heroic look, but faintly, there is also a bit of frailty.

Yuan Shang's eyes flicked back and forth between the two of them, nodding while watching, appreciating: "Well, yes, indeed, after the tiger general, he is indeed handsome and heroic, but unfortunately he is a little more bookish."

Under the hall, Yan Yuan respectfully made a military salute, and said: "My lord, the two of us lost our father when we were young, and our family suddenly lost the backbone, which led to the decline of the clan. One reason is that my father's skills are not as good as others. The second is also caused by personality. My father was good at martial arts but not literary, and he was too self-reliant and brave, so he was killed by Guan Yu. We will remember the past and change our original demeanor. Cultivate your character, after many years, you have more Confucian anger, but less violence and perverseness."

Yuan Shang was stunned when he heard the words, and said: "It turns out that it is so-called to be brave after knowing shame. It is a shame to kill your father, and it is courage to uphold your ambition and sharpen yourself. The two of you are also considered good talents... Yan Yuan, your name is like It was a coincidence with the ancients, who started it for you?"

Yan Yuan laughed and said, "I'm ashamed to say that the last general was not called this at first. Nine years ago my father died at the hands of Guan Yu. My mother was inexplicably sad. She changed her original intention and didn't want me to become a general in the footsteps of my father. Therefore, imitating the ancient name, I chose the surname of Yan Hui, who was the head of the ten philosophers of the Confucius sages in the Spring and Autumn Period, and changed the name of the general to Yan Yuan. My mother hoped that I would abandon martial arts and follow literature, and not pursue a broad road."

Yuan Shang nodded and sighed: "Your mother changed the name of the saint's family for you, hoping that you would abandon martial arts and follow literature. I don't want you to follow literature but never abandon martial arts. You are so talented in both literature and martial arts. Your father, General Yan Liang, has a spirit in heaven. It's also reassuring."

Yuan Shang turned his head, looked at Wen Tu with a smile and said, "Wen Tu, does your name have a meaning?"

Wen Tu's face turned red, and he lowered his head in conjecture, "I'm ashamed of the last general, the name hasn't been changed, and it doesn't mean much."

Yuan Shang couldn't help sighing regretfully when he heard the words.

Wen Tu was in a hurry when he saw that Yan Yuan had changed his name once, and he was praised and praised by Yuan Shang. If he hadn't changed his name himself, Yuan Shang didn't praise him!

He is also a fierce general, how can his self-esteem bear it now?

Wentu was cruel, and cupped his hands and said: "Since the lord started his career, he has fought in both the south and the north, and has become famous all over the world. He has made great achievements many times! The general admires the lord deeply. It is a great honor to be called by the lord today! The lord will not give up, the general dares to ask the lord to change his name for the general!"

Yuan Shang was taken aback: "You asked me to change your name for you? This...isn't appropriate!"

Wen Tu shook his head and said, "The Yuan family owes the Wen family a mountain of kindness. They reused our martial arts family, and now there are two generations of Enze. What is changing the name? I hope the lord will not be polite, and change the name for the younger general." Bar!"

Yuan Shang touched his chin when he heard the words, thought for a while, and said: "Well, your father was famous in four states in the past, and his martial arts was the best in Hebei. Everyone knows his name. His name is Wen Chou. You are his son. Then you Call……"

Wen Tu looked expectant: "What's the name of the last general?"

"Then you'll be called Wen Chou Chou!"

Wen Tu: "..."

*********************************
Xuchang, Deyang Palace.

The name of Deyang Palace is taken from the name of the old palace in Luoyang, the former eastern capital, and it is intended to commemorate. It is located in the north of the Xuchang Imperial City, with Jiacheng inside, Menshui in the east, and Yuanbai in the north. There are five halls outside and three palaces inside. .The outer wall is 200 meters long from the northwest corner of the palace to the south and 800 meters wide to the east. Although it is not as magnificent as the former Luoyang Palace, it is still prosperous.

In the warm pavilion in the southwest of the hall, a 27-year-old young man with a fair complexion and few beards is sitting on a soft couch on the dragon mat, looking at a golden brazier not far away in a trance. He is wearing black and yellow Alternating uniforms, belts of white jade leather, jade hooks and blunderbusses, are luxurious and graceful.

Compared with his gorgeous clothes, his expression is obviously not very healthy.

To say that he is unhealthy does not mean that his complexion is not good, but that his expression is slightly sluggish. At first glance, nothing can be seen in his narrow eyes, but if you dig carefully for a while, you will find Hidden in the depths of his eyes are deep grief and self-pity for the world.

This person is the most honorable person in the world today!

On the contrary, he is also the saddest person in the world.

All the princes in the world would kneel and kowtow three times and nine times when they saw him, respectful and submissive, but they also sneered at him from the bottom of their hearts, secretly contemptuous of him.

He was born in the world for only 27 years, but he has lived as a puppet for 18 years, experiencing humiliation and suffering that ordinary people have never encountered in their entire lives.

He lost his mother due to power in less than a month after he was born. He was ruled by Dong Zhuo at the age of nine, followed by Li Jue and Guo Si's rebellion, tossed and turned, and finally fell into the hands of Cao Cao.

He is none other than Liu Xie, today's son.

"Report to Your Majesty." Outside the door, a small yellow door approached with a respectful demeanor, and from a distance, he bowed and offered a gift: "The general of Fuguo is here to see His Majesty outside."

It wasn't until this time that Liu Xie came back to his senses from the daydream. He straightened his clothes, forced himself to sit upright, and said, "Xuan."

Xiao Huangmen took the order and went, when he was young, he saw an old figure walking slowly into the hall, and said to Liu Xie, "I have finished my bow, and I pay my respects to Your Majesty."

"Guo Zhang is exempt from courtesy." Liu Xiexu raised his sleeves and motioned to get up: "Guo Zhang, you entered the palace a few days ago to congratulate the New Year's celebration. How did the Guo Zhang think about what I said to you?"

Liu Xie had just finished speaking, but Fu Wan raised his hand, signaling Liu Xie to silence, then moved to the windows and doors of various places, looked around for a long time, and returned to Liu Xie after confirming that no one was eavesdropping. Xie front.

"Your Majesty must be careful when calling in-laws in the future, for fear of leaks." Fu Wan persuaded patiently.

Liu Xie shook his head and said: "Don't worry, the father of the country. Although the Cao family has many eyes and ears, in recent years, I have been vigorously suppressing the interior. In this palace, it is considered peaceful. There are no spies among my close people."

"That's better to be careful." Fu Wan remonstrated again, and then pondered for a while, Fang said again: "What your Majesty said to the old minister years ago, according to the old minister, it is not yet the right time, the old minister I also ask Your Majesty to endure for another three years, and wait until your Majesty and the veterans have accumulated enough strength within these three years, and after three years, it will be the best policy to make a decision in one day and decide the overall situation."

"Wait for three years..." Liu Xie's face became a little stiff: "Patriarch, now Cao Cao is dead, the top pillar of Cao's family has collapsed, Cao Zhi is in power, but he is young and weak. Flow, such a god-given opportunity, if I miss it, I will never have a chance to govern myself in this life!"

Fu Wan shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, Cao Cao is dead, but his confidantes and cronies are still there. Cao Zhi is young, but he is not easy to deal with! Only from the past, he took Cao Cao in one fell swoop. From the beginning of the power, the old man saw that this young man was not easy! He is not the eldest son of Cao Cao, but he can do his best to win the hearts of the old Cao family, win Cao Pi steadily, and knock him out of the circle! Moreover, compared with Cao Cao, Cao Zhi is resourceful and fierce. Not as good, but more kind. In just a few years, the civil and military brothers inside and outside the Cao family are all convinced by him, and they all abide by their own ways. Even Shang Shuling Xun Yu respects him very much, no less than his opponent. Back then Cao Cao, now that Cao Zhi has stabilized Zhongzhou, if His Majesty wants to take charge now, it may not be the right time!"

Liu Xie sighed, shook his head and said, "Because of this, I can't wait for three years! It took Cao Zhi less than a year to win the hearts of Xudu. If I give him another three years, wouldn't the hearts of the world be defeated?" He's gone?"

Fu Wan shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, otherwise, although Cao Zhi is benevolent, he does not have Cao Cao's military strategy! Today the world is undecided, with Sun Quan in the east, Yuan Shanghu in the north and Yuan Shanghu in the south. Uncle Liu Bei is always waiting to rescue the emperor and help the Han Dynasty! Cao Zhi is only at peace for a while, and sooner or later there will be a big war in Zhongzhou! According to the old minister, when Cao Zhi and the princes of the world are at war, Xu is empty At that time, His Majesty will ascend the heights and summon loyal ministers to help the government, and call the emperor and uncles to serve the king outside. It is like a thunderbolt, and Cao Zhi is caught off guard. If this is the case, the Han Dynasty will prosper and the world will be settled!"

Liu Xie thought about it carefully, then shook his head and said: "No, the time you said is too long and the variables are too big, I really can't afford it!"

Fu Wan was a little heartbroken: "Your Majesty, you have endured humiliation for 18 years! Dong Zhuo, Li Jue, and Guo Si are all dead, and even Cao Cao is gone. Why can't you afford to wait for the last three years?"

Liu Xie shook his head and said: "Those old thieves are at least twenty years older than me, and I dragged them to death, but Cao Zhi is different. He is young and young, much younger than me! If I Deal with him the same way you deal with an old thief, and in the end, I’m afraid that I will be the one who is dragged to death, Guo Zhang, isn’t there any other way?”
