Yuan Yao and Yuan Shu broke up unhappy.
Although Yuan Yao tried his best to explain to Yuan Shu, Yuan Shu didn't believe it at all. The Xiapi Chen family, headed by his old friend Chen Gui, never considered cooperating with him.
He also didn't believe that his old official Zhuge Xuan would turn to Jingzhou Liu Biao for no reason.
He didn't believe it even more. Liu Biao was a soil-guarding dog like Yuan Yao said and needed to be taught a lesson before he would become honest.
The most unbelievable thing is Yuan Yao's explanation that he let Liu Yao go back to the mountain because he saw that Liu Yao would not be alive for a few days.
See what he can do!
Why didn't he say that he could predict the future?
This treacherous son, who has achieved a little bit, is self-righteous and has learned to brag!
See if I don’t kick him!
In the end, Yuan Shu chased Yuan Yao all over the hall until he was out of breath and failed to catch up with Yuan Yao.
In the end, Yuan Yao saw how pitiful he was, so he pretended to fall and let Yuan Shu kick his butt, which made Lao Deng breathe out.
Seeing Nizi pat his butt, get up and run out of the hall like a normal person, Yuan Yao sat down on the ground, breathing heavily.
"I'm old, I'm old, alas~"
Yuan Shu let out a long sigh.
Yang Hong, the chief minister, came up, caressed Yuan Shu's back, and said: "My Lord is in his prime, and will achieve great achievements for eternity. How can you say you are old?"
Yuan Shu stood up with help and looked at a box on his desk.
The letters, cups, candlesticks and other items on the desk were swept to the floor, except for the square box, which was placed there yesterday and today.
"So what if I can live a thousand years? If this traitor doesn't make any progress, he will die sooner or later!"
Yuan Shu said sadly.
Yang Hong shook his head and put forward a different opinion: "In Hong's opinion, the prince is not without progress... at least he has a lot of insight into the situation in the Central Plains."
Yuan Shu turned his head: "Why, do you also think that after Cao Cao captures Yongqiu, he will continue to go south to capture Yuzhou?"
"How can he dare to attack Yuzhou when he is short of soldiers and food?"
Yang Hong said unhurriedly: "As the prince said, Cao Cao is short of soldiers and food, so he will be eager to attack Ru and Ying to occupy the population and plunder the food and grass."
"If, as the prince expects, Yongqiu is captured by Cao Cao this month, then he will still have the strength to go south. My lord should take precautions early!"
Yuan Shu fell into thinking.
Because he was angry just now, he didn't listen to many of what Yuan Yao said.
Now that he had calmed down, Yang Hong whispered slowly, "Hey!" It seems to make some sense.
"Well, send someone to Wuping to let Yuan Si take precautions."
"Send someone to Sun Xiang in Runan and ask him to contact He Yi, Liu Pi, Huang Shao, and He Man to prepare for war."
Yang Hong cupped his hands and said: "No!"
"Since Cao Cao may go south to Yuzhou, will my lord postpone sending troops to Xuzhou?"
Yuan Shu hesitated for a moment, and then said: "I have been planning to attack the Big Ear Bandits for a long time, and the plan... remains unchanged for the time being."
Yang Hong asked again: "If the lord wants to go on an expedition, the prince must be in charge of the country. Since the lord has withdrawn his order, he will not let the prince oversee the affairs of Yangzhou, but he must be given a special official position..."
Yuan Shuyi frowned: "When did I take back his appointment as governor of Yangzhou?"
Yang Hong was startled: "Isn't it just now that my lord, while chasing the crown prince, shouted 'I won't give you anything' and 'I even confiscated your general's number'?"
Yuan Shu: "When did I say this?"
Yang Hong: "..."
Yuan Shu looked at Yang Hong with a puzzled look on his face: "Old Yang, how can I be an uncle like you?"
"I can say some things, but I don't necessarily have to follow them."
Yang Hong nodded: "I understand."
The suffocation in Yuan Shu's chest has not completely subsided: "But is it too early to ask him to oversee the affairs of a state now?"
"In less than a year, he has already been promoted to Xiaolian, Langguan, Lieutenant of Lujiang, and Captain of Yuzhang, and he has been promoted to the prefect of Yuzhang as a general. He has been promoted quickly enough."
"At most, I can remove Chen Ji and let him temporarily serve as the governor of Jiujiang, so he can justifiably guard Huainan for me."
Yang Hong cupped his hands, nodded and said, "Goodbye, my lord!"
Yuan Shu: "Haha, not bad. I also think we should let him take it slowly and step by step. He is still young..."
Yang Hong said calmly: "I have come from the north to report that Yuan Shao's eldest son Yuan Tan was appointed as the governor of Qingzhou just last month. He will lead an army out of the town plain and will attack Qingzhou."
As soon as Yuan Shu heard the word "Yuan Shao", he jumped up and said, "Prefect of Jiujiang? Ah! How can the governor of a county be worthy of my son?"
"According to my order, my son Yuan Yao will immediately take charge of the affairs of Yangzhou!"
"You now! Immediately! Write me a letter of appointment immediately!"
"No, Yuan Shao is a commoner. How can his son be on the same level as my son?"
"I want to report to the imperial court and let my son directly become the governor of Yangzhou!"
"Ah no, Yangzhou Mu!"
Yang Hong hurriedly advised: "My lord, you must not do it. The prince is still young and cannot control himself. You must take your time..."
Yuan Shu was anxious: "Take your time!"
"If it doesn't work, I'll just use this one and pass it on to my son with a big one!"
As he said this, Yuan Shu raised the square box with an attitude of risking everything.
Yang Hong: "..."
…
After a while, Yang Hong anxiously found Yuan Yao, holding a bunch of talismans and inscriptions.
Yuan Yao was surprised: "Uncle, are you... vacating my father's place?"
Yang Hong gasped: "Don't talk nonsense. Let uncle go through the process first. It will be too late when your father regrets it later."
Yuan Yao: "..."
After a while, Yuan Yao stood up, holding the staff in one hand, a bunch of seals and ribbons in the other, and a pile of inscriptions in his arms.
Am I now the governor of Yangzhou?
According to his uncle, if it weren't for the fact that Hui Qu, the current governor of Yangzhou, couldn't find any fault and couldn't be dismissed, Yuan Yao would have directly become the governor of Yangzhou now.
The post of governor was only a temporary official title at the end of the Han Dynasty. It had no rank or establishment, and the things it was in charge of could be big or small, empty or real.
Originally, Yuan Yao had an indifferent attitude towards this official title. It would be best if he had one, and it didn't matter if he didn't have one.
But the governor-general that Yuan Yao was awarded was extraordinary.
He is the governor of Yangzhou who upholds integrity!
This "scepter" is not the "fake festival" given by Li Jue to Yuan Shu for General Zuo and Marquis Yangdi, but a higher-level "zhijie".
It was the "Chi Jie" that Yuan Shu snatched from Ma Rixi.
There are four types of envoys, namely "Jie Jie", "Chi Jie", "Shi Jie" and "Jie Jie Yue".
The four kinds of political integrity in the Han Dynasty did not distinguish between high and low levels of power. With the chaos at the end of the Han Dynasty, these four kinds of political integrity were divided into high and low levels.
After the unification of Wei and Jin, the authority of the fourth-class envoys was completely clarified.
Holiday: He has no power to deal with people in peacetime, but can kill those who violate military orders in wartime.
Chijie: In peacetime, he can kill people without official positions, and in wartime, he can kill officials with less than two thousand stones.
Envoy Chi Jie: Can kill officials with less than 2,000 stone in peacetime and wartime.
Fake Jie Yue or Fake Yellow Yue: It can kill Jie Jie generals, including Jie Jie, Zhi Jie, and Shi Zhi Jie.
Now that Yuan Yao has Chi Jie, he is officially granted the power of life and death over middle and lower-level officials.
Even if he doesn't maintain discipline, he can still kill people with his "power". But killing people with restraint can help "power"!
But Yuan Yao, who had obtained the right to "hold integrity", was not happy at all.
Yuan Shu used to regard this "keep the integrity" as a treasure. With this thing, he appointed many officials and established a lot of power.
But now you give this thing to yourself so easily, what does it mean?
It means he is going to play something more explosive!
