Mythic version of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 656 Yuan Shu, Yuan Shao, Yuan Family
In the spring of 194, Yuan Shu mourned for Yuan Yao. Although Yuan Yao said not to make his funeral too grand, Yuan Shu silently buried Yuan Yao with the ceremony of Jiuqing, saying that if Yuan Yao did not ask for it, Yuan Shu would definitely He will be buried with the rites of a prince.

Having said that, although the ceremony of Jiuqing still has some limitations, but now the world is in chaos, and no one can control it. In addition, Yuan Shu opened warehouses and put food for the people under his rule, and promised himself that he would do the same every year, so after learning that After this incident, the people of Yuzhou, Yangzhou, and Jingzhou spontaneously put a stick of incense on Yuan Yao, which can be regarded as an alternative cannibalism.

Mourning for Yuan Yao was not a big deal at first, but the problem now is that Yuan Shu has no children after Yuan Yao's death, and Yuan Shu is the top three princes in the world anyway, and behind it is the Yuan family. Find a way to help with this.

The extinction of heirs was absolutely unbearable for the ancients. Generally speaking, at this time, Yuan Shu's brothers who had more sons would immediately adopt one of their own sons to Yuan Shu to inherit the incense.

After all, in the eyes of the ancients, as long as you worship my ancestors, worship my ancestors, and admit that you are my descendants, then no matter what happened to you in the past, now you are my heir, and the adopted son and the straight son enjoy the same power. The only difference is that the adopted son does not have the right of inheritance.

Of course, this refers to the situation where the son-in-law is alive, like the kind that needs someone else's adoptive heir to inherit the incense. Needless to say, there must be no son-in-law. In this way, the adopted son will inherit everything from the adoptive father, including power and obligations. , all aspects of status will be inherited.

This is also why Yuan Shao, as Yuan Feng's son, had the same status as Yuan Shu even though he was only a concubine and gave birth to a son. It was because Yuan Feng adopted him to Yuan Cheng and inherited the position of the direct son of Yuan Cheng's line. Of course, from then on, he It is necessary to call Yuan Feng his uncle, Yuan his father, and Yuan Shu his cousin.

In the same way, Yuan Shu’s statement of accepting Sun Ce as his adopted son, in terms of the original intention, is to let Sun Ce inherit Yuan Shu’s lineage. After he dies, someone can put incense on him during the solar terms, so that he will not be in Yuan Shu’s lineage. Lonely ghost.

"Looking for my cousin?" Yuan Shu glanced coldly at the elders of the Yuan family, "Since they are all adopted sons, why should I accept someone who I hate to look at, I don't need you to care about my affairs!"

"It's not that my Yuan family has no blood. The Wenkai line didn't have the prosperity it is today because of the adoption of the original. Today, the Zhou Yang line that supported the Wenkai line has such a situation, naturally it should be There is a stepchild in the line of Wenkai." The Yuan family elder replied helplessly.

In fact, in addition to being dissatisfied with Yuan Shu's statement that he treated Sun Ce with the courtesy of his son-in-law, the Yuan clan elder also had some careful thoughts of his own.

Not to mention anything else, the Yuan family is now prosperous, much more dashing than the Yang family who was curled up in Chang'an and didn't dare to move.

Whether it is Yuan Shao's lineage or Yuan Shu's lineage in the Yuan family's evaluation, they are basically powerful princes who are qualified to win the world.

It is precisely because of this tyrannical strength that the Yuan family supporting Yuan Shao and the forces supporting Yuan Shu can sit down and have a good talk. It looks like it's actually just trivial.

Their vision has been detached from one city and one place, and they have begun to look at the whole world. They have also thought about joining forces. Unfortunately, how can you say that Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu are too strong. It's too bad to be beaten all the time, don't they want to return to the original strong promotion?
Naturally, I think, the problem is that it can’t be done. Let’s talk about who will be the boss. After all, the Yuan family is divided into two branches because of Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao. Although the Yuan family is a sensible elder, it is more of a bet. The guy on Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao.

This was the first time that the Yuan family in the north and the south mentioned this matter, and they broke up immediately, but this time Yuan Yao died, but the rational clan elders of the Yuan family saw the light again.

The two lines of the Yuan family in the north and the south exchanged their opinions soon after Yuan Yao's death. There was basically nothing to talk about about the merger. In the end, Yuan Shao, who was forced to helpless, threw out his trump card - his intelligence team!
After Xun Chen and Xu You joined in, the Yuan family couldn't reach an agreement from the original fist and foot, and soon walked to sit down and think about it.

In the end, the two parties reached an agreement under the coordination of Xun Chen and Xu You. First, the lords of the world should be cleared, and the struggle for hegemony within the Han Dynasty would become an internal conflict within the Yuan family. As for who should be the boss, this matter will be discussed later.

Although Yuan Shao had a quarrel with Yuan Shu, to be honest, he was not as good as Yuan Shu, and he would not let Yuan Shu die.

In fact, adopting Yuan Shang to Yuan Shu was Ju Shou's proposal, because Ju Shou had already seen some signs of doting Yuan Shang in Yuan Shao, and Yuan Tan has not done anything wrong now. .

Yuan Shao agreed to Ju Shou's proposal without much thought. He really liked Yuan Shang, the youngest son, but now he is wise enough not to waste the elders and establish the younger ones, but after Ju Shou's proposal, he couldn't help but give birth to some other sons. Idea, the Yuan family needs the strongest person as the head of the family!
To tell the truth, Yuan Shao was purely out of kindness. He never thought of using this method to occupy Yuan Shu's place. For Yuan Shao, this method was not as good as a banquet, at least it wasn't ashamed.

Because of this, Yuan Shao's explanation to Yuan Shang is that after adopting the past, you only need to think about how to benefit Yuan Shu's lineage, even if this benefit will greatly damage Yuan Shao, it doesn't matter.

As a result, we can see from the current situation. Yuan Shu bird did not care about Yuan Shao. Yuan Shu, who was now paranoid about the proposal of the Yuan clan elder, went straight on.

Sometimes people are like this. After falling into paranoia, the more you let him do it, the more he refuses to do it. Now Yuan Shu is in this state. He has given up hope of accepting Sun Ce as his adopted son. He has absolute confidence in inheriting his Yuan Shu lineage.

Just as the Yuan family was about to continue educating Yuan Shu, a messenger rushed into the hall.

"Report, General, Liu Biao's troops went out of Jingbei and seized Nanjun, and the soldiers forced Dangyang!" The messenger roared loudly.

"Liu Biao, you are courting death! As the Eight Horses, you don't know how to bereavement!" Yuan Shu angrily roared.
