Of course, Yuan Shu is not that arrogant. He is so arrogant that he completely believes that he is such a wise king. But the spread of such folk songs at least shows that the common people are no longer interested in the Han Dynasty. Are they Han people? I don’t care, as long as I can live a good life! Becoming emperor at this time, not only complying with God's will, but at least not going against public opinion, right?
While thinking about it, Yuan Shu returned to the inner courtyard and suddenly caught a glimpse of Feng Fangnu sitting there quietly, as if writing something. She was so serious that even Yuan Shu didn't notice that she was back. Out of curiosity, Yuan Shu secretly walked over and walked around behind Feng Fangnu.
"What are you writing?"
Yuan Shu spoke softly and finally woke up Feng Fangnu.
"ah!"
Feng Fangnu stood up and faced Yuan Shu. She subconsciously grabbed the paper on the table and hid it behind her back. Her face was red, and she was as shy as a child who was caught doing bad things.
"Sir, when did you come back?" Feng Fangnu asked carefully. She didn't know how much Yuan Shu had seen.
Yuan Shu smiled slightly and said deliberately,
"I've been standing here for a long time."
For a moment, Feng Fangnu's face turned red even more. She kneaded her hands for a while and then remembered to say,
"Are you tired? Sit down first. I'll make you tea!"
As he said that, he ran away as if he wanted to escape.
Unfortunately, Yuan Shu did not do as she wished. He stepped forward and hugged Feng Fangnu in his arms, and whispered softly in her ear,
"What is it written? Can you read it to me too?"
Feeling Yuan Shu's warm breath on the tip of her ears, Feng Fangnu's body softened and she surrendered immediately. Feng Fangnu took out the paper in her hand, unfolded it, and showed Yuan Shu the contents in detail.
Yuan Shu looked intently, and suddenly a light flashed in his eyes, his pupils shrank slightly, and his heartbeat accelerated a bit.
"Madam, what is this written? Why don't I understand it?" Yuan Shu asked, knowing everything.
"I just heard some nonsense recently. I'm just making nonsense. I can't take it seriously." Feng Fangnu replied quickly.
"I want to hear it, and you can help me interpret it for my husband." Yuan Shu insisted.
"Then... I will be disgraceful."
While speaking, Yuan Shu reached out his hand and grabbed the paper for Feng Fangnu, letting her free her hands to do whatever she wanted. Feng Fangnu pointed at the contents on the paper, as if Yuan Shu really didn't understand, and explained them to Yuan Shu one by one.
"My lord's surname is Yuan, with the given name Shu and the courtesy name Gongdao. The surname Yuan comes from Chen, who is after Shun. I read the ancient books, 'Yu Shun Fire, Xia Yu Earth'. Shun belongs to fire, and among the five elements, fire generates earth. Using earth to carry fire is what Yuan is talking about. In addition, when painting is high, painting is the road, isn't it the road?"
After saying that, Feng Fangnu's face was rosy and her breathing was a little rapid. This was a very natural feeling of excitement.
"Sir, I just talk casually, and I can't be considered elegant." Feng Fangnu waved her hand in embarrassment.
"Hahaha!"
Yuan Shu burst into laughter and used strength to hold the woman he loved most tightly in his arms.
"What is the elegant hall? This is the elegant hall! What you said is good! You are better than those old masters said! Reward! It should be a big reward!" Yuan Shu laughed loudly.
"My lord has given enough rewards to me, why not give it to the other sisters." Feng Fangnu said quickly.
Yuan Shu deliberately kept a straight face, shook his head and said,
"What's yours is yours. Whenever they have it, that's what they deserve. If you don't distinguish between right and wrong, and rewards and punishments are unclear, how can you convince the public! I just want to reward you, reward them, let them know what kind of Only those who deserve to be rewarded!"
"Then please try to reward as little as possible, sir, I'm afraid..." Feng Fangnu whispered.
"How dare they!" Yuan Shu was furious, "Do you really think that I don't know anything about the family's affairs?"
Yuan Shu knew very well that because of his doting on Feng Fangnu, many women in the family were jealous of Feng Fangnu, especially those with prominent family backgrounds, who were often insulted and bullied. Yuan Shu believes that the reason why these women are so bold is because of the strong family power behind them. In other words, Yuan Shu is not strong enough! One day, if he, Yuan Shuruo, becomes emperor, let's see who else dares to disobey him!
······
Just as Yuan Shu's desire to proclaim himself emperor grew stronger, Sun Ce asked for troops to be sent to Liyang in exchange for the imperial seal.
To be honest, Yuan Shu was originally hesitant about Sun Ce's request. Why did he accept the imperial seal? Isn't it because he is afraid that Sun Ce will never come back? But is it impossible for Sun Ce to abandon the imperial seal?
But what was unexpected was that nearly 80% of the civil servants and generals in the court agreed to let Sun Ce send troops. Yuan Shu had never seen such a consensus among his officials. Have they all been convinced? No! impossible! Then, there is only one possibility left: it was the Imperial Seal that impressed this group of people!
Folk rumors only represent the thoughts of ordinary people, and can only help Yuan Shu break through moral barriers. To really succeed, what is needed is the support of the ministers. Now, seeing so many ministers "overjoyed" to pass on the imperial seal, how could Yuan Shu not understand their thoughts? He, Yuan Shu, wanted to be the founding emperor of the country, so naturally the ministers below him also contributed greatly to the founding of the country! Once he becomes emperor, the level of these ministers will have to be upgraded by at least two or three levels. These people spend their entire lives just for power and fame!
Therefore, what moved Yuan Shu was not so much the imperial seal as the attitude of the officials. The seemingly acquiescent attitude of the ministers in turn strengthened Yuan Shu's determination to get the imperial seal!
In addition, not long ago, General Ji Ling came specifically to analyze the situation in Liyang with Yuan Shu. Yuan Shu's army has personally seen the terrifying natural dangers of the Yangtze River. This absolute geographical advantage cannot be easily solved by simply changing the commander, in addition to relying on absolute strength to suppress it. Ji Ling firmly believed that even if Sun Ce could win in the end, the damage would probably be huge and it would take a long time. By then, Xuzhou might have been captured by them. How can a small Sun Ce, with only Liyang, be able to make waves? You have to come back obediently and reattach yourself.
Let Sun Ce out, kill him with vigor, and help contain Liu Yao at the same time. It can be said that he kills two birds with one stone.
Therefore, Yuan Shu waved his hand and agreed to Sun Ce's request. Sun Jian's old troops, such as Cheng Pu, Han Dang, Huang Gai, etc., were all placed under Sun Ce's command. However, in fact, Sun Ce was only given 5,000 troops and was sent to Liyang. At the same time, people were sent to Liyang to inform the army there to take a temporary rest and return to Shouchun. Just as Sun Quan had deduced at the beginning, Yuan Shu could not give Sun Ce much help. All the troops he sent out at the beginning would be withdrawn in the end!
······
Sun Ce was very fast and set out from Shouchun with five thousand soldiers that day. In the eyes of some people, it was like running away, as if he was afraid that Yuan Shu would regret it. At this time, Shangguan Di finally woke up after receiving the news from the court.
"be cheated!"
She was completely used by Sun Quan!
