Clan, relatives, and eunuchs are just three tools of checks and balances. They are not the normal operation of the country. The regular configuration. Tools can only be tools and cannot replace the normal administrative order that affects ministers. Otherwise, the country will, into turmoil.
When they enter a stable period, they should be put into cages and released to the south mountain for other use.
However, the expansion of the Yuan family broke this hard-won power structure. Two of the three pillars of the Han Dynasty were chopped down by the Yuan family.
Just when the Yuan family was preparing to harvest the fruits of victory, unexpectedly, Dong Zhuo came out.
bass! ! ! Yuan Xi drew out his own sword.
And pointed the sword at the man's nose.
"I don't have time to negotiate terms with you. If you don't tell me, someone will naturally say it. I'll count to three."
Yuan Xi looked at this little eunuch and said aggressively.
"No, I said, I said." The little eunuch was so frightened by Yuan Xi that he burst into tears and runny nose.
"Actually, we are not." He was about to say.
"Mrs. Wang, you are seeking death. Have you forgotten how Miss saved us?"
Suddenly, someone stopped him loudly.
"Kill!!!" Yuan Xi pointed his sword at the man.
brush! ! ! That man, who had been killed by Xu Chu, raised his knife and dropped it. He refused to close his eyes and reported to the underworld.
Only one head was left, rolling to the ground.
"I said, I said, we are King Hongnong, the people in the palace, we are protecting the young lady and escaping today."
The little eunuch named Wang Tai said quickly.
"Oh?" Yuan Xi looked at the crowd.
Sure enough, there was a girl with her head bowed, surrounded in the center. It seemed that she was Princess Hongnong.
"I don't understand why you didn't just go out of the city, but did the opposite. What do you mean?" Yuan Xi hit his horse, approached the crowd, and left.
"The lady said that it is dangerous to go the right way. If we go the other way, the Allies will think that we are refugees and will not make things difficult for us. That's why we did it."
Wang Taizhan explained tremblingly.
Yuan Xi couldn't deny it. Unexpectedly, Princess Hongnong was quite intelligent, which was really interesting.
Princess Hongnong, Tang Ji saw Yuan Xi getting closer.
At this time, Tang Ji also raised her head and looked at Yuan Xi.
"Princess, let's stay safe."
Yuan Xi said teasingly, looking at Tang Ji.
"Yuan Xi, it's me, what do you want?"
Seeing that there was no way to hide, Tang Ji revealed her identity.
Princess Hongnong, Princess Tang, met Yuan Xi, which was her misfortune, but in these troubled times, meeting Yuan Xi was her blessing among misfortunes.
After Tang Ji's death, under the instructions of Yuan Xi, she assisted Gao Yue in taking care of the Yuan family's back house. Therefore, Emperor Xuanwu could spread his military power throughout the world without any distractions.
However, it is a pity that Tang Ji's son, Yuan You, King of Runan, participated in the battle for the legitimate son.
The incident of Princess Hongnong is just a microcosm of the many tragedies in this era. The Han Dynasty has almost no pure land.
After wasting a lot of time, Yuan Xi estimated that the Yuxi matter was in vain. If he went to argue with Sun Jian, he really couldn't defeat him with such a small manpower, and gave Sun Jian a life, then forget it.
It's better to accept it when it's good. You can't have it both ways. What you lose is in the mulberry tree, but what you gain is in the east. Go back the way you came.
On the way, Yuan Xi met many scouts.
After asking, he learned a good news and a bad news about Sun Jian and Cao Cao.
The bad news is that Cao Cao was ambushed, defeated by Lu Bu and Xu Rong, and nearly captured.
The good news is that Lu Bu had just won. Unexpectedly, Sun Jian suddenly attacked and the formation was thrown into chaos.
Sun Jian took advantage of the situation and killed the Xiliang army. He was caught off guard, but Sun Jian did not go deep.
After returning to Yuan Jun's camp, Yuan Xi reported to Yuan Shao the harvest of the trip and the incident of Princess Hongnong.
Yuan Shao didn't care. After all, even the emperor and the Yuan family dared to depose, let alone a princess.
There are only two princes who are really tough with Dong Zhuo, one is Cao Cao and the other is Sun Jian.
Three generations of the Yuan family have all done one thing, that is, to seize power, depose the emperor, and usurp the Han Dynasty.
Yuan Wei planned to depose Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty and establish the King of Hefei. Yuan Shao wanted to depose Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty and respect Liu Yu. However, Yuan Xi wanted to kill the prince and force Emperor Xian to abdicate.
Living in troubled times, you can't help yourself! ! !
Liu Xie: If there is an afterlife, I will never be born into an imperial family. I curse that your Yuan family will never have peace.
