Three Kingdoms New Emperor

Chapter 763 It seems to be...

In Ye City, a grand and dignified funeral was held.Except for the soldiers who needed to guard the city wall, all Yuan's troops were summoned to the Yuan's Mausoleum Temple in Yecheng—they wanted to make the last journey for their lord.

That's right, this time they not only want to bury Yuan's Qingzhou shepherd Yuan Tan, but they also want to witness the funeral of the most important member of Yuan's family—Yuan Shao and Yuan Benchu, who was once the most powerful lord in Hebei in the Han Dynasty. On the second day when he learned of Yuan Tan's decapitation in Yecheng, he died suddenly.

All the people in Yecheng knew that after Yuan Shaowen heard that his eldest son had been beheaded by Cao Cao, he suddenly felt great grief, vomited blood in pain and died.

This situation seems normal, but Liu Xie and the civil and military officials in the Han Dynasty scoffed at the news.However, the strange thing is that Tian Feng and Jushou, the most knowledgeable and wise people in Ye City, stood up and resolutely refuted the rumor when the people of Ye City began to doubt the authenticity of the news.

As a result, the entire Yecheng people, driven by an inexplicable and unclear curiosity, rushed to participate in the most important funeral in Hebei.

On this day, it seemed that the heavens were also crying for Yuan Shao, and it began to rain lightly.

This kind of light rain is not heavy, but it carries a trace of sadness, which is extremely rare in midsummer.The rain fell on the Yuan's flag, making the flag seem to be wrapped up in publicity.

Yuan Xi's performance at the funeral will almost be forgotten.He just kept crying weakly, but couldn't make any sound, as if his whole body had collapsed.But Yuan Shang's performance couldn't help but move everyone in Yecheng. The handsome and stalwart Yuan Shang was wearing neat and clean white clothes, crying bitterly in front of his father and brother's tomb, and the sound of grief and pain made the grass and trees feel sad.In the end, until his voice was completely hoarse, he was still reluctant to let the corpses of his father and brother be buried in the ground under the persuasion of his senior minister Jianpei.

Seeing this scene, the people of Yecheng couldn't help being moved by the loneliness of Yuan's brilliant family, especially for Yuan Shang's innocent heart.

In the end, Yuan Shang ordered to live in the coffin and bury it.He suddenly turned around, and with the demeanor of an absolutely strong and famous family, he shouted to all the officers and men of the Yuan army and the people of Yecheng: "The heavens can learn from me, my Yuan family has four generations and three generations, and I have been loyal to the Han Dynasty since the generation of my great-grandfather." , shed blood to repay, and saved the Han Dynasty several times. But now, we, the Yuan family and the people of Yecheng who are loyal to the Han Dynasty, what have you got?"

"What we got was that the Han Dynasty's [-] troops besieged Yecheng heavily! They even wanted to flood Yecheng with the water from Zhangzhang, and let our loyalty and righteousness turn into a swamp! I am unwilling, unwilling! How helpless the sky is!" Eyes, the world is so unfair, why should I, the Yuan family and Yecheng, suffer such misery!"

Yuan Shangling raised his arms and shouted, his voice was like weeping blood.All the soldiers and civilians who heard the words were indifferent to the enemy, and could not help but think of their own situation these days, and resent the injustice of God.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Lin, Hebei's first penman, was invited out by the guards and read a eulogy.This eulogy does not have gorgeous or incomprehensible rhetoric, but uses hurried sentences to praise Yuan's loyalty and great sacrifices for the Han Dynasty, and then, like Yuan Shang's words, lashed out at God's Injustice, and a ruthless attack on various things of the Han court.

This eulogy is completely the roar of the land of Hebei to this ruthless and chaotic world, which makes people involuntarily raise a gloomy but extremely eager to vent emotions in their hearts.

Just after Chen Lin's eulogy was finished, Yuan Shang passed Yuan Xi, the heir in line, and grabbed a handful of dirt in front of Yuan Shao's mausoleum, his hands trembling, his face sad and angry.He stared intently at the coffins of his father and elder brother, sprinkled the soil in his hands on the coffins, and suddenly cried again: "The heavens are not fair, we will no longer be the dogs of fate. Father, brother , you are loyal and brave, but I don't want to be manipulated by this injustice anymore!"

After lifting the soil in his hands, Yuan Shang turned around angrily, and shouted at all the soldiers of the Yuan army and the people of Yecheng: "Wait, are you willing to go on like this?!"

"I don't want to!" Tens of thousands of Yuan Jun soldiers suddenly roared, and the sound shook the world.

"I don't want to!" The shouts of hundreds of thousands of people surged like waves, one wave after another.

They are not convinced, they are unwilling, they want to fight for their own destiny, and they don't want to live worse than a dog in this troubled world!

"Father, brother, go all the way!" Yuan Shang received the answers from the soldiers and the people, bowed heavily to the coffin, and hissed: "From today onwards, I will lead the entire Yecheng, the entire Yuan family, and the entire Hebei, Resist the injustice of this troubled world, and never go back to your lamentable old ways! All the soldiers, all the people, I..."

As soon as he said this, Yuan Shang suddenly saw a commotion among the people at the back.He immediately frowned slightly, waved his hand and ordered Shen Rong to send someone to investigate quickly.When he was young, Shen Rong rushed to Yuan Shang with a strange expression on his face, and said something that stunned Yuan Shang: "The Han army shot many arrows on the city wall, but none of them had arrowheads, but they were all tied with a piece of white cloth. Send envoys to offer condolences..."

Yuan Shang subconsciously cast his eyes on Shenpei, Tian Feng and Jushou. Tian Feng and Jushou closed their eyes and thought for a moment, then solemnly shook their heads to indicate no.However, the judge came out proudly, and said to Yuan Shang: "My lord and young lord are all dead. Even if the officials of the Han Dynasty have a thousand words, it is hard to argue that they are so cruel to Zhongliang! It is just right for them to come here this time, and we still need a good one." Only the head is sacrificed to the flag!"

As soon as Yuan Shang heard the last sentence of the trial and assignment, his face immediately became grim, and he understood the meaning of the trial and assignment.He couldn't help but turned around and said loudly to the soldiers and the common people: "The fatuous and ruthless imperial court has the face to come here this time. It's really shameless. I'm going to be here today to seek justice for our Yuan family and Yecheng! I will take him come over!"

This process was very long, because Yuan Shang miscalculated the sincerity of the Han Dynasty.He thought that the Han Dynasty might send one or two people into the city to hang himself, so he didn't dare to open the city gate, but ordered the soldiers on the city wall to drag these envoys into the city one by one with baskets.

Finally, half an hour later, when the mourning momentum of the soldiers and the people in Yecheng began to calm down, the envoys of the Han Dynasty arrived late.But that scale is dizzying.

The mourning envoys of the Han Dynasty were very large and formal. They all wore plain clothes, and their personal guards and entourages all carried solemn ceremonial guards and sacrifices.The specifications used are entirely the etiquette of the imperial court in memory of the three ministers.And the leader is Chen Gong, the minister of the Han Dynasty who is now famous all over the world.

Yuan Shang wanted to strike first, so he beheaded the envoys of the Han Dynasty, making Yecheng completely cut off.However, the mourning team of Hanshi's size made him unable to react for a while.In particular, when Chen Gong came to the mausoleum, he suddenly burst into tears: "Alas, the pillar of the Han family! It hurts, the loyalty of the Yuan family!..."

This cry of pain completely overwhelmed Yuan Shang: he thought that the envoys of the Han Dynasty came here not to force himself to submit, but also to sneer and sarcasm to hit the morale of Yecheng.But he never expected that the envoys of the Han Dynasty seemed to really come to commemorate the passing of a minister.

Then, Chen Gong didn't wait for Yuan's and others' reaction, and immediately opened an imperial edict and said: "General Yuan Shao, a chariot and cavalry general, has a noble character, both virtue and ability. , He made great achievements, he can be regarded as a model, and he was specially named a general, Marquis of Ye, and given the posthumous title of 'Huai', so as to show his beauty during his lifetime and honor him after his death."

Chen Gong's edict almost exhausted all his strength, and most of the people behind heard it.And the people who heard it couldn't help telling the people who didn't hear it clearly one by one, and then the people who didn't hear it clearly wanted to convey it to the people who didn't hear it.For a moment, the dignified and solemn atmosphere in front of the mausoleum was immediately dispelled, and everyone was discussing: "Our lord...is this recognized as a loyal minister by the court?"

"It seems, it seems to be..."

"Then what was the young master talking nonsense just now?" Some of the people suddenly responded, but at the same time they became more puzzled: "Wait, isn't our master still slandering His Majesty for not being the son of the late emperor? Then he didn't guard the side, did he?" Just now, you went to fight Cao Cao with force, and Cao Cao was defeated in the end?"

"It seems, it seems to be..."

"In this way, it's not that the court failed our lord, but that the lord didn't listen to the court's orders. Also, the Han Dynasty is orthodox. Isn't it natural for us to surrender to the Han Dynasty?"

"It seems, it seems to be..."

"Then, what are we doing here?"

"I, I don't know..." A commoner suddenly became irritable, and shouted angrily: "There is no end to fighting and killing all year round. We are originally Han people, why should we resist the Han family?! This Yuan Shao, back then let soldiers rob my family of food!"

"Yeah, I even robbed a big black wok (pot) from my house!"

"There is also a sheep in my family...my poor sheep, it was killed in less than two months..."
