Three Kingdoms New Emperor

Chapter 172 The Heart-warming Diao Chan

"Cicada, is the adoptive father old and useless?" Wang Yun knelt on the carpet, even when he was resting in the mansion, he still sat upright, always using the dignified etiquette of a scholar. Standardize your own words and deeds.

He is indeed the kind of person who is strict with himself and expects to impose his views on others from the beginning to the end.

Diao Chan is currently kneading Wang Yun's temples carefully. Her technique is not very clever, but such cute and caring movements make Wang Yun feel differently comfortable.Especially when Wang Yunwei closed his eyes, thinking of the pair of jade hands serving him at this time, he couldn't help but feel a little bit of complacency that cannot be understood by outsiders.

"The adoptive father is in the heyday of Spring and Autumn, and he is the head of the three princes in the imperial court. He always records the affairs of Shangshutai. It can be said to be a grand event. How can you say that you are old?"

It's fine if Diao Chan didn't say such consoling words, once she said such words, she immediately swept away Wang Yun's frivolous complacency just now.For an old man like Wang Yun, who has experienced ups and downs in his career, he can tell what is true and what is false.

But he couldn't criticize Diao Chan harshly. At this time, what else could Diao Chan say besides saying these things against his will?

"Cicada, as a father, I know that you are unparalleled in intelligence, and you have mysterious eyes and ears in the world. The adoptive father wants to know, is it wrong for the adoptive father to persuade His Majesty to promulgate and reprimand Kandong today?" Wang Yun sighed secretly, he said at this time After saying these words, he actually didn't want to expect a definite answer from Diao Chan.

In Wang Yun's view, Diao Chan is just a girl, so what kind of knowledge does she have?Apart from being used for vulgar and lustful warriors like Dong Zhuo, it has no other use.As for the news that she didn't know where, Wang Yun didn't pay much attention to it.

The so-called do it behind closed doors, then you will know the affairs of the world.Wang Yun is well-versed in poetry and books, and he is also used to watching conquests in troubled times, and he claims to be familiar with the world's major events.Today, a few sighs can be exchanged for a few emotional and heart-warming words from Diao Chan, that's all.

Therefore, after finishing the last sentence, Wang Yun couldn't help showing off again, and added: "Determining the world to care for Li Shu, in the east and not in the west. Today there are disputes, states and counties are divided into territories, and wolves, owls and falcons kill each other. Although the old man has defeated Dong Zhuo, the situation in the world is not easy to change. This order for His Majesty to issue an edict and announce it to the world is an act of discerning loyalty and rebellion and strengthening the prestige of the imperial court. However, Your Majesty is self-willed and does not understand the general trend of the world. ..."

Speaking of this, Wang Yun, who was immersed in his own world, suddenly found that Diao Chan's hand on his temple stopped.He just came to his senses, couldn't help laughing, and said to himself: I seem to be really old, so I can't help but talk more.Can she, an ignorant maid, understand the important affairs of the country?
But just when Wang Yun was going to go back to sleep peacefully for a while, Diao Chan's hands moved lightly again, and said at the same time: "Father, Diao Chan doesn't know about this important court event. However, about the important event in the Kanto region, the servants are not aware of it." I've heard a lot, I wonder if foster father would like to hear it?"

Wang Yun nodded silently, although after drinking the cup of ginseng tea, he felt a little heavy in his head.But with the service of the beauty, he naturally wanted to spend more time.

"The thing that has changed the most in this world, and also the most eye-catching, is the Yuan family of four generations and three generations." Diao Chan said, without the tenderness of a well-behaved maid, like a cold female strategist:
"The dispute between Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu is now even more chaotic. Since Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shu formed an alliance, they gained a lot in the battle against the Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou. The property looted by the Yellow Turbans turned into Gongsun Zan's hands. Most of the tens of thousands of people were filled into Gongsun Zan's army, and the white horse general Gongsun Zan took advantage of the situation to cross the Yellow River and occupy most of Qingzhou."

Wang Yun's brows and eyes moved suddenly, and now the army horses of the imperial court are heading for Luoyang, the old capital, and have reached Hulao Pass.From then on, Guanzhong was no longer so obstructive about news from Guandong, but Wang Yun was still ignorant of such a major event.Hearing this from Diao Chan at this moment, he was naturally shocked.

However, Wang Yun was always a scheming person, so he resisted curiosity and asked Diao Chan how he knew about it.He just pretended to have a look that he already knew, and waited indifferently for Diao Chan's subsequent news.

"In Yuzhou in the Central Plains, Yuan Shao didn't seem to be progressing smoothly. Zhou Ang, the governor of Yuzhou he appointed, gradually failed in the face of Yuan Shu's offensive, so he had to abandon Yuzhou and fled to Yangzhou to rely on his elder brother Zhou Xin, the prefect of Danyang. In the previous fierce battle, Gongsun Zan's younger brother However, Gongsun Yue died under Zhou Ang's stray arrows, and this incident gave Gongsun Zan an excuse to crusade against Yuan Shao."

"Yuan Shao suddenly fell into unprecedented pressure. On the one hand, Gongsun Zan has expanded to Qingzhou to form a siege; on the other hand, if Yuzhou on the south road misses, Yuan Shu may kill him at any time, and Yanzhou's second barrier has not yet completely Established; there are also the Black Mountain Army, the Yellow Turban Army in Jizhou, and the Jizhou Muhushou appointed by Dong Zhuo are still harassing him from time to time."

"After Gongsun Yue's death, Yuan Shao had no choice but to bow his head to Gongsun Zan in order to relieve the pressure from all sides, and handed over the original headquarters of Bohai County to Gongsun Zan's other younger brother, Gongsun Fan."

"Unexpectedly, after Gongsun Fan got Bohai County, he immediately turned against him and suggested to his elder brother to attack Yuan Shao immediately. Gongsun Zan became so mad that he secretly appointed his subordinates Yan Gang as the governor of Jizhou, Shan Jing as the governor of Yanzhou, and Tian Kai as the governor of Qingzhou, and issued a call to action Charge Yuan Shao with ten crimes including 'creating chaos', 'disloyalty on his back', 'inhumanity and filial piety', and 'restraining fate', and led his troops to provoke south."

"Fortunately, Yuan Shu's general Sun Jian was killed in battle at that time, and Yuan Shu's offensive was suspended, which temporarily relieved Yuan Shao of his worries. Therefore, Yuan Shao bit the bullet and fought Gongsun Zan at Jieqiao in the northeast of Guangzong County. Both sides won and lost, and the number of deaths exceeded [-]. ..."

Hearing this, Wang Yun could no longer pretend to turn a blind eye.Diao Chan's military report, with its meticulous logic and precise words, especially the 100% truthfulness of the information, made Wang Yun no longer be able to treat Diao Chan as an ordinary maid.He turned around abruptly, staring in amazement at the beauty in palace costume who was kneeling behind him, and suddenly felt an unbelievable fear: "You, who are you?...Why did you tell these things to me today? Old man?!"

No matter how stupid Wang Yun was, he could tell from Diao Chan's report after report that the situation in Kanto was in chaos.If the imperial court issued a rebuke edict without knowing what to do, what a storm it would cause.

These Kwantung princes have long ignored the court of Chang'an, and set off waves of bloody storms in their respective territories.If the imperial court issued an imperial edict at this time, although the Kwantung heroes would not dare to raise a banner to rebel, they would definitely expand their forces more militaristically, strengthen their own foundation, and then plan to replace the imperial court of Chang'an!
At that time, I am afraid that it will be the time when the real world is talking about it, when Li Shu is in trouble!

Thinking of these, Wang Yun's back felt cold.But behind all these panics, he was still more afraid. He still wanted to know what was the relationship between Diao Chan and the emperor of the Han Dynasty?

Now it is impossible for him not to know that the reason Diao Chan said this is to let himself know how ignorant and stupid his wishful thinking in the court today is!

Even, at this moment, Wang Yun seemed to see Liu Xie's playful and contemptuous face behind Diao Chan's bright smile!
However, at this moment, when Wang Yun suddenly wanted to stand up and question Diao Chan, he found himself suddenly top-heavy.The old body staggered and sat down on the ground.At this moment, Wang Yun suddenly saw the tea bowl, suddenly thought of something, and said: "Just now, in that cup of tea... No, even if you are the emperor's secret response, you would not dare to murder the old minister... Old man, old man If Situ of the current dynasty falls into the mansion at this moment, he, Liu Xie, will also become a tyrant that everyone despises!"

"Of course Your Majesty would not use such a low-level method. According to him, this kind of least-technical thing is not something a tall and powerful king like him would use..." Diao Chan still smiled quietly, even He also gently supported Wang Yun to lie down.So much so that the guards who heard the news couldn't help being a little embarrassed when they saw this scene.

"Lord Situ is tired. He just said something that the servants couldn't understand, so he just fell asleep." Diao Chan looked back and explained to the guards naturally. One of the leading guards was obviously caught by Diao Chan's look back just now. Fascinated by his amorous feelings, he stood there in a daze like those companions behind him, not knowing what to do.

"What are you doing standing there stupidly? Quickly help the prince into the bedroom, and the servant is alone, but he can't help him." Diao Chan was coquettish again, and suddenly, the guards were like wooden statues that had been given their souls, scrambling to grab him. Go with Diao Chan to help Wang Yun.

Along the way, the smile on the corner of Diao Chan's mouth never dissipated, because she was eager to know, what kind of means would that little emperor in the palace use to make Wang Yun take the initiative to resign from office?
Thinking of letting the upright Wang Yun take the initiative to let go of the power in his hands, Diao Chan felt inconceivable: "That little guy, does he really have a magical way to change people's minds? I really want to see it with my own eyes..."
