At this moment, inside the Yuan family. Yuan Wei was sitting on the main seat entertaining someone, and this person was the current general He Jin.
His sister was the queen of the dynasty, and they were discussing the issue of eunuchs being powerful nowadays.
Yuan Wei said: "What do you mean when the general comes here this time?"
In fact, Yuan Wei also knew what the butcher-turned-general had in mind. It was nothing more than the growing power of the eunuch group.
If He Jin's sister was not the current emperor's queen, He Jin would be just a butcher now. Therefore, as a nobleman, Yuan Wei looked down on this person a little, but now they are all in the same camp.
So he could only stabilize He Jin for the time being. He wanted his plan to succeed first. After all, if he and He Jin had a showdown with the eunuchs now, in the final analysis, it would be their Yuan family whose interests would suffer the most.
He Jin had a bloated figure, although he was dressed luxuriously and wore expensive medicinal aromatherapy. But when others pass by, they will smell a slight smell of pork meat from his body, which is disgusting.
He Jin took a sip of tea and said, "Master Taifu, I came here this time to ask for your opinion."
"Now the group headed by the eunuch Shi Changshi is getting stronger and stronger in the court. I want to unite with people with lofty ideals to eradicate them."
"Give this man a bright future."
What He Jin said was righteous, but how could Yuan Wei not know what he was thinking. It is nothing more than that the rights in his hands are getting less and less, and the majesty in the court is getting lower and lower.
Even if his sister is the queen of the court, there are still many nobles in the court who do not need to give him face because of their origin.
After all, the entire imperial court is now divided into two factions. One faction is headed by the eunuch Shi Changshi, and the other faction is headed by He Jin and Yuan Wei.
As for there are also many neutral people who are the targets of wooing by both sides.
As one of the three princes, Yuan Wei was also one of the party leaders of He Jin's faction. Without his support, He Jin would not have become a general in power in the Qing Dynasty by virtue of his status as a relative.
Yuan Wei: "Does the general want to unite with the literati and wise men headed by Wang Yun and Cai Yong?"
"If this is the case, the general should think twice."
"After all, they are loyal to the Han Dynasty and His Majesty. So, has the General ever thought that they would not attack us after they used our hands to eradicate the ten permanent servants?"
"His Majesty has already ignored political affairs in the court for many years now. Even when issuing imperial edicts, they first pass through the hands of the Ten Permanent Attendants."
"There are so many clues here that I don't think it's the right time for us to do anything yet."
"And there is nothing we can do against the Ten Permanent Attendants now. After all, it is difficult for you and me to even meet His Majesty."
"Every time if there is no big event, His Majesty will not even attend the morning court. Our memorial may not appear completely in His Majesty's hands. These various reasons are what we have to consider what will happen."
"Besides, as long as we don't take the initiative now, there is nothing the Shi Chang Shi can do against you and me. After all, the general is still the biological brother of the current queen."
Although He Jin didn't know the focus of what Yuan Shu said, he could hear the signal from Yuan Shu's tone that he should not take action against Shi Changshi.
And after so many years of calculations in the officialdom, even he used to be very irritable and irritable. Now I am much calmer and will no longer be as reckless as before.
On the other side of Wang Yuan's mansion, a servant was reporting to Wang Yun: "Sir, I followed General He all the way and witnessed him entering Taifu Yuan's mansion."
"You can't go wrong."
After Wang Yun heard this, he waved his hand to let him go down.
Ding Yuan saw this and said, "Brother Wang, how sure are you that this plan will work?"
Wang Yun: "It's less than 10%. After all, Yuan Wei can firmly sit on the position of Taifu."
"His methods are beyond what you and I can imagine. It's just a small lead this time."
"After this incident, even Yuan Wei has persuaded He Jin to stop now. But after all, a seed has been planted in He Jin's heart. At that time, we only need to find another opportunity to let He Jin enter the game on his own. "
"At that time, no matter whether Shi Changshi succeeds or He Jin succeeds, we will be the proud ones in the end, and He Jin's behavior will probably lead to a lose-lose situation, which will be more conducive to our next step. "
And Wang Yun and Ding Yuan's purpose is not for the so-called big man, but for their own interests.
After all, how many people are willing to be subordinate to others for a long time!
The scene returned to Yuan Wei and He Jin. He Jin asked: "The Tutor is right. If we draw all the literati and wise men who have always remained neutral to our side, we will not be able to overthrow the Shi Chang Shi. ?"
"Watching them slowly riding on top of you and me, wouldn't it make people wanton and ridiculous?"
As soon as he heard what He Jin said, Yuan Wei knew that he could only persuade this guy for a while. Unexpectedly, after so many years of officialdom drama, this guy can still only see the surface of things.
He didn't think about it realistically, if Wang Yun and Cai Yong really didn't form cliques. How is it possible to survive in the officialdom, when ordinary people want to imitate Wang Yun and Cai Yong and pretend to be elegant and wise men.
He had been killed by Shi Changshi and his own faction a long time ago, and now it seems that there are only two gangs fighting in the court. But there are three of them. On the surface, Yuan Wei and He Jin are in tit-for-tat opposition to Shi Changshi.
But in fact, the so-called neutral faction has always been their biggest threat, once either of the two factions loses.
Then you will face the crazy suppression of your opponents and these so-called literati and wise men. This is the real game. If you are not careful, you will lose everything.
Moreover, He Jin's coming to him now was completely a game of chess played by Wang Yun and the others. As long as He enters the game, no matter what, it will affect the whole body and affect everyone.
Helpless, Yuan Wei could only take a sip of tea and said: "General, please bear with the calm for a while."
"And you are the Queen's biological brother, so there will be no danger for your life no matter what. After all, the ten permanent servants are just eunuchs anyway, and our real opponents are the so-called literati and sages."
"So, we'd better take a long-term approach to this matter regarding the Ten Constant Attendants, so as not to let others take advantage."
Yuan Wei said so much to He Jin, he could only hope that He Jin could understand. After all, he originally chose to cooperate with He Jin because his identity could bring him more convenience, but now Yuan Wei only feels that He Jin is unable to hold up the wall.
He believed what others said casually. He really thought that his sister was the queen, so no one moved him.
Little did they know that behind all this was the support of the emperor and their Yuan family, which made the queen's status as stable as a mountain.
Moreover, the Ten Constant Attendants were equivalent to the emperor in disguise, so how could he have been able to sit on the throne for so many years.
If we really talk about talent and leading troops, then Huangpu Song, Zhu Jun and Lu Zhi are all much more talented than him. He Jin would be more qualified to take this position than any of them, if it weren't for the fact that his sister is the queen. Even if He Jingui is the uncle of the state, he cannot be a general. This position is the largest official position after the three princes.
It's just that over the years, He Jin obviously didn't see the situation clearly. I didn't expect that at this moment, with just a few words, I would let someone else become a spearman without even realizing it. I could only pray that when He Jin wants to take action against Shi Changshi in the future, he can just ignore the Yuan family.
He Jin: "Since Master Taifu has said it, let's wait until later to talk about this matter!"
"It's getting late now, so I'll go back first!"
He Jin's heart: It seems that what this old guy Wang Yun said is indeed right. Yuan Wei is just a timid person, otherwise he is afraid that my strength will be stronger than his.
That's why they obstructed me in every possible way because they were afraid that I would be beyond their control.
When Yuan Wei heard that He Jin was about to leave, he stood up and said, "I'll see the general off. Be careful on the way back!"
After sending He Jin to the door and saying goodbye to each other, Yuan Wei looked at He Jin who was slowly walking away and sighed heavily, thinking in his heart: I just hope he can listen to my words and not be obsessed with temporary interests and power. eyes.
He didn't even think about it, if His Majesty hadn't allowed the Ten Permanent Attendants to do so. How dare you put pressure on him, the uncle of the country, there are many ways to do it.
At this time, Yuan Shao just came back from outside. Seeing his uncle Yuan Wei standing at the door, he immediately greeted him: "Uncle, I wonder why you are standing here?"
"Are there any distinguished guests coming?"
Yuan Wei came back to his senses and saw that it was Yuan Shao who said, "Oops, it's the origin."
"I see that your breathing is disturbed. Could it be that you have something urgent to do and you have to come back in a hurry?"
As soon as Yuan Wei mentioned this matter, Yuan Shao immediately cheered up and said: "Uncle, let's go in first and then talk."
"There are so many people talking here, it's not convenient for others to know."
In fact, it's not Yuan Shao's fault, because this time Yuan Shao got news from Cao Cao. This time, there were actually three prefect positions among the official positions auctioned by the court.
Yuan Shao came back this time just to discuss it with Yuan Wei, and to use a sum of funds from the Yuan family for him to buy a position as a prefect.
Although Yuan Wei didn't know what important matters Yuan Shao would have, he still attached great importance to his nephew's words, so he followed Yuan Shao into the study.
Yuan Wei: "Ben Chu, what exactly happened? That made you so mysterious and so anxious that you had to go into the study to discuss it?"
