Yang Ci rarely laughed: "I also want to know, why did the Han Dynasty suddenly become like this by a few Taoists?"

"Forgive me for speaking frankly." Yuan Shao is Yang Ci's true nephew, so there is no need to hide it. "The one who is causing chaos in the world is in the North Palace. The thief who caused the Yellow Turbans to spread here is not Zhang Jiao, but Shi Changshi! That generation

The descendants of the tribe are spread all over the sea, killing the loyal and good, causing harm to the world, making the people miserable and resentful of the Han Dynasty for a long time... Zhang Jiao just happened to meet him at the right time!"

"So that's it." Yang Ci suddenly realized. "Then what is Benchu's intention?"

"Execute the officials!" Yuan Benchu's words were sonorous and powerful.

"Execute eunuchs..." Yang Ci was thoughtful for a moment. "The general was still here when we executed eunuchs last time."

"Of course you know that if you want to kill an eunuch, you must wait for a general to take over the government." Yuan Shao smiled knowingly. "Actually, the general who was pardoned yesterday has always been quite friendly to us, and we are willing to work with him.

intersect."

"Then just go look for him." Yang Ci smiled slightly and raised his eyebrows. "Why are you looking for me?"

"Mr. Yang." Yuan Shao couldn't help but laugh. "As soon as the general was appointed, he led his troops out of the capital pavilion outside the town. Then he had to inspect armaments and repair equipment... How can we find him at this time?"

"What do you mean?"

"The Yellow Turbans were raised in all directions, and the world was shaken. Even the emperor was troubled. It was rare to walk out of Zhuolong Garden (West Garden)... With such a good opportunity, shouldn't we give the emperor a try?" Yuan Shao asked sternly. "

If the emperor has an epiphany, there will be no need for a general."

"It's the other way around." Yang Ci was half tired and half impatient. "Things need to be done step by step. First find a way to lift the party's imprisonment and then say anything to tempt the emperor!"

When Yuan Shao heard this, he immediately stood up and bowed to him: "I am about to ask Duke Yang to write to the emperor to abolish the party prison! In this way, the scholars in the world will definitely inherit Duke Yang's virtues!"

Yang Ci was startled for a moment, but then he came back to his senses: "It turns out that Benchu ​​was waiting for me here a long time ago... But if that's the case, why didn't your uncle Yuan Wei write the letter?"

Yuan Shao smiled awkwardly.

When Yang Ci saw this, he still didn't take it seriously: "Benchu, your uncle doesn't want to do it. He wants to consider the family and doesn't want to harm the eunuch; but I can't do it. I'm old and don't want to do anything.

!”

Yuan Shao wanted to speak but stopped.

"This moment is indeed the best time to break the shackles of the party," Yang Ci continued. "But as far as the emperor is concerned at this time, what your uncle and I jointly say may not be as good as the casual words of a general who is about to go to the front line.

Mentioning it may not be as good as the darkroom reminder from a palace chamberlain... Remember, don’t ask for your disciples’ former officials!”

Yuan Shao suddenly realized what he was doing, and immediately bowed again, and then left directly.

Yang Ci watched the other party leave and thought about his son, Yang Biao, a handsome general with good features who was accompanying He Jin in the capital pavilion outside the city to prepare the army. However, he did not feel disappointed, but he was just getting more and more tired.

It was getting dark, and as soon as Yuan Benchu ​​walked out of the side door of Yang Mansion, Xu Ziyuan couldn't wait to greet him, but it wasn't until the two got into the car and drove to the street that they spoke to each other.

"Benchu, what do we, Mr. Yang, who wanted his son to be the leader of the party for several years, say?" Xu You pinched his mustache and sneered. "Do you agree to test the emperor directly, or are you willing to encourage him first?

What about lifting the shackles of the party?”

"Mr. Yang is old." Yuan Shao shook his head and sighed. "I think he is disheartened and has no ambition to fight for supremacy in the court. We cannot treat him as Chen Fan. We have to rely on ourselves for everything. However, he is also

He gave me some pointers and asked me to find the side general and Lu Changshi. It probably meant that these people could take advantage of the situation to intimidate our emperor so that the party's imprisonment could be solved quickly..."

Lü Changshi refers to Lü Qiang, the Zhongchangshi. Although he is an eunuch, he has always been inclined to the scholars and sympathized with the party members. He is a rare support for the scholars in the Beigong.

"It's easy to say, Mr. Lu Changshi." Xu Ziyuan shook his head and said. "That's what the question says, but the generals... who knows who the emperor prefers to be the commander-in-chief? And it's even harder to say if you have to avoid your disciples and former officials.

Yes! You must know that now only Gongsun Wenqi is taking the lead and recommending himself. However, he is too young. Although the emperor praises his words and deeds, he may not really entrust the overall situation to him. "

"It doesn't matter!" Yuan Benchu ​​said confidently. "No matter who comes, if he doesn't want to punish the eunuchs and unblock the party, let him not be a general!"

"That's right!" Xu You immediately held up his palms and laughed. "We can't go to the battlefield, so why can't we still win in the court?" At this time, Xu Ziyuan lowered his voice again and said. "At the beginning, I

I have an old acquaintance with Gongsun Wenqi. He will come from Yandi next month. I will go look for him myself and promise to persuade him not to miss the important event!"

Yuan Benchu ​​was quite speechless... He has Gongsun Xun's kind of political consciousness regarding the lifting of party restrictions, so why do you need to persuade him? It's just a matter of saying hello.

Of course, Yuan Shao's speechlessness was just hidden in his heart, but he didn't care at all on his face. He even bluntly asked the other party to get some money for social arrangements after returning home. After all, he didn't know in his heart that this

Does Xu Ziyuan want to control the relationship between the two parties and then spend some money on both parties?

Just rub it!

In this way, the two of them continued to conspire in the car, and they actually wanted to use their bodies to control the affairs of the court... They didn't stop talking about it until they arrived at the bustling Yuan family residence.

By the way, even though it was evening, there was still a bustling crowd in front of Yuan Shao's residence. At this time of turmoil in the world, many people had been sitting for a long time, just hoping to see the world's model Yuan Benchu. As a last resort, Yuan Shao could only

Let the car go around to the back door and then get off!

However, as soon as the two got out of the car at the back door, they were grabbed by someone who had been waiting here for a long time: "You two were sneaking around in the car, and you did a great job!"

Xu You and Yuan Shao were both startled, and then sighed together.

"Meng De!" Yuan Shao said angrily. "Are you just idle? You're not waiting for me inside, but you just come here to scare people?"

"You are really right!" Cao Cao immediately narrowed his eyes and said. "The country is in turmoil and the world is in chaos. Gongsun Wenqi spent five days in Youzhou to defeat the thieves, and ten days to clear the land of Yan. What else will he want right away?

Three thousand Youyan knights are heading south to Heluo, but I can only scare people at the back door of your house... If I am not idle, what else can I do?"

Xu You became even more amused: "Mengde, what are you so anxious about? Aren't you just taking advantage of the situation and making contributions on the battlefield? Your family background is here, and we will create some public opinion for you as a talented person. It's time to find a few family friends to recommend you.

, can it be done without you?"

"What Ziyuan said is true." Yuan Shao was also speechless. "Why bother thinking about it? Things in the world are light and heavy. What you need to pay attention to at this time is to take advantage of the great power of the Yellow Turban Thief and the eunuchs who are with him.

Taking advantage of the unclear opportunity, try to use the Ten Constant Attendants!"

"Since the Yellow Turban thieves are so powerful, shouldn't we cut them off first to calm people's hearts?" Cao Cao disagreed. "How to start a court dispute at this time? If we can kill the thieves and bring peace to the world, we should win the trust of the people after making great achievements.

Emperor, right?"

"Meng De's remarks are ignorant!" Xu You immediately refuted. "Who do you think this person is today? Believe it or not, if you can't punish him when he is frightened, he will turn his back after the Yellow Turban thieves are wiped out.

When you recognize people, do you still regard eunuchs as father and mother?"

Cao Cao disagreed, but he had no choice but to purse his lips and pretend to be convinced.

After the three of them entered the Yuan family's mansion from the backyard, they heard that Wang Yun from Yushitai was visiting - because Wang Zishi had recently been appointed as the governor of Yuzhou and was inspecting the rumors of the local Yellow Turbans' persecution. In addition, Zhang Rang's family was in Yingchuan, Yuzhou.

, so Yuan Shao became even more excited, and immediately invited him to meet and continue to discuss how to eliminate the eunuchs... Cao Mengde became more and more impatient when he saw this, so he left after a while, and then went out to find Xiahou Dun, preparing to go to Gongsun Fan's place.

Let’s have some food and drinks, and find out about Gongsun Xun’s whereabouts.

Unfortunately, when they arrived there, Cao Mengde learned that Liu Kuan was quite unwell after returning from Nangong today. Gongsun Fan did not dare to neglect him and actually went to serve him early.

So, partly because he had nowhere to go, and partly because he was moved by the scene, Cao Ah Man just asked Xiahou Dun to go back by himself, then he took out a jar of wine from Gongsun Fanyuan, took a roast chicken, and drove to Qiao Xuan Mansion himself -

- Qiao Gongzu is now seventy-five years old. Although he is still conscious after falling this time, he is afraid that it will be difficult to get up again! Such a situation, coupled with the close friendship between the two, how can Cao Mengde not be worried?

Cao Cao was naturally free to come and go from Qiaoxuan's mansion, so he carried the chicken and wine and went directly to Qiaoxuan's bed.

When Qiao Gongzu saw the person coming, he also rarely showed a smile, but when he saw the other person holding chicken wine, he couldn't help but got angry: "Meng De, are you going to sacrifice me in advance?!"

Cao Cao quickly put down the food and wine and explained: "If I want to pay homage to Mr. Qiao, it's too fast! I just didn't have dinner today, so I brought some chicken and wine to see if Mr. Qiao has improved and if we can share a drink with him."

When Qiao Xuan heard this on the couch, he couldn't help but sneer: "Okay, judging from your behavior, when I die in the future, if you pass by my grave, I'm afraid you won't even have a chicken or a bucket of wine."

, not to mention too tight?!"

Cao Cao was not ambiguous. After hearing this, he immediately knelt down in front of Qiao Xuan's couch and swore: "Please don't worry, Mr. Qiao. If I pass by your grave in the future, there won't be a chicken or a dou of wine to worship. I got in the car and left."

If you don't take more than three steps, I, Cao Mengde, will get a stomachache!"

Qiao Xuan still sneered: "So, is it really not too tight?"

Cao Cao was extremely helpless: "Does Mr. Qiao want too much prison or chicken and wine?!"

"I don't want anything!" Qiao Xuan scolded him sternly on the couch. "I'm not dead yet, why do I need you to pay my respects?!"

"Look, this sentence has come around again." Cao Cao sat down and immediately put his hands on his hands and laughed.

Qiao Xuan also laughed, but then shook his head and sighed: "Having said that, judging from my current body, if I really want to eat your chicken wine, I'm afraid I will have to wait until after death. However, at my age,

If you die, you will die... The situation is getting more and more chaotic. If you die at this time, you can at least go away peacefully as a Hanchen."

Cao Cao was about to speak but stopped.

"I know what you are going to say." Qiao Xuan slowly shook his head. "Don't pay attention to those party members, eunuchs and the like... For this kind of thing, just show your attitude and do nothing wrong now. But the world will be in chaos.

After all, it is about who can do practical things, calculating this and that all day long, can the hungry people be fed? Can the displaced soldiers and people settle down! Meng De, in the next few years, if the situation allows, we must

Manage the place well and calm down the chaos. If the situation does not allow it, then go back to your hometown to study and cultivate yourself, calm down and cultivate your character, and wait for the time... Xu Zijiang's words are mostly flattering, but your comment is the only one. The so-called traitor of Jun Qingping, in troubled times

I am quite proud of you as a hero... If the world is going to be in chaos, please don't live up to your reputation as a hero!"

Cao Cao rarely stood up and bowed solemnly.

"Let's go!" Qiao Xuan said for a while and was already out of breath. At this time, he could only hold on with all his strength. "The country will be in chaos. Do your best. Even if I die, I will definitely write a letter recommending you to go to the battlefield. Save

You are so angry with me here... Don't lose to that student Liu Wenrao and lose my face... However, at this moment, it seems that losing face doesn't matter... In short, don't come to see me again in the future! Dying

The image is really ugly!”

Cao Cao was speechless, so he could only bend down and bow again, and then he turned around and walked away. However, after leaving the Qiao Mansion, the man regretted that he had left too quickly, without even looking at the other person's appearance.

Qing Qing, for the first time in his life, was timid and did not dare to go back to visit, so he lingered in front of the Qiao Mansion.

"Brother Meng De!" At this moment, a person suddenly came through the door, but it was Qiao Xuan's youngest son. The boy who was kidnapped in the past was now a handsome young man.

"What's the matter?" Cao Cao quickly straightened his appearance.
