The beginning of the Three Kingdoms Cheng Yuanzhi

Chapter 49 Do it yourself
In late February, the winter is still cold, and spring has come.

Cheng Yuanzhi rode a horse, majestic and high-spirited, across the Yellow River to the capital Luoyang.

Unlike the last time he came, this time he was already a celebrity, and the emperor's summons caused some commotion when he stepped into the north gate.

Cheng Yuanzhi got off his horse, led the horse and walked slowly, his eyes glanced at the guard soldiers lined up on both sides of the city gate, and saw that they were patrolling every person entering and leaving with a serious expression, but they turned a blind eye to himself.

This treatment reminded everyone present that this person was extraordinary.

"Brother, are you safe?"

He had been waiting here for a long time, and Yuan Shu, who was dressed in the official uniform of the general of Huben Zhonglang, came up to him and slightly cupped his hands.

For this virtuous brother, Yuan Shu is both happy and timid. He likes his unparalleled resourcefulness, and he is afraid that he will talk all over the world with his sharp mouth, regardless of enemy or friend.

He was frightened anyway.

Don't you see, all the celebrities in Luoyang City were bullied by him before, and everyone was so angry that they walked away on the spot, cursing "Zhu Zi'an dare to be so arrogant" behind their backs.

Cursing and scolding, they turned their heads, but they all praised "Yuan She" for his great talents in governing the world and his clever strategies.

As an official of the Five Dynasties, Yuan Shu saw through the tricks at a glance.

Kill it!

As long as Yuan She is promoted, with today's stupidity, the general's idiot, and his temperament that hates the sky...

The consequences are not difficult to predict...

If you don't die from talking madness, you will die from conflicts from all sides.

Yuan Shu saw it through, but if he didn't say it, he would be hindering his future.

Because this is a conspiracy, you know that there is a pit in front of you, and you will jump into it willingly.

Cheng Yuanzhi greeted him enthusiastically, and said with a smile:

"Highway, long time no see."

Yuan Shu lowered his head and said, "My dear brother, your reputation has skyrocketed, and you have gained a great reputation. Now you have been summoned by your majesty. Your rise to the top is just around the corner."

Something is wrong. Cheng Yuanzhi frowned slightly. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that this trip to Luoyang was a mix of good and bad, even bad and good. What does Yuan Shu mean by this?
Cheng Yuanzhi immediately thought about everything he had done since he came out of the mountain, and after confirming that there was no major negligence, he said slowly: "I also ask Gonglu to give me some advice, and I will not hesitate to teach you."

"Easy to say, easy to say."

The two of them came to Dongcheng together and entered Yuan Shu's mansion. After they sat down separately, the banquet was served.

Yuan Shu said with a smile, "It's been two months since we left last year. I never imagined that my virtuous brother would make such a big name this time around."

How do you know so clearly? Cheng Yuanzhi was surprised and laughed, "What does the highway refer to?"

"Two battles and two victories, Megatron Northland, this name is not small."

"The hearsay is unbelievable. This is all done by Shangdang prefect Zhang Yang." Cheng Yuanzhi said humbly, "I'm just helping from the side..."

"What a side support!"

Yuan Shu jumped up and grabbed his hand: "Young brother, don't hide it from me, I already know everything."

"Oh, know everything?"

"Know everything!"

"Then tell me..."

Cheng Yuanzhi thought: Then you talk about it first, and I'll see if you want to admit it.

Yuan Shu laughed loudly, after laughing, he walked up and down the room, and walked up to Cheng Yuanzhi, looked directly at him, and said eloquently:

"Ten thousand strange soldiers robbed Yingtao, five thousand powerful soldiers broke through Changshan Mountain, three thousand light cavalry burned the barbarians, and eight hundred warriors destroyed Wuhuan. My brother really used fewer and fewer troops, but this battle was fought more and more coquettishly."

"You already know..."

Cheng Yuanzhi heaved a sigh of relief, and a look of surprise appeared on his face at the right time.

After all, Yuan Shu is a son of everyone, he can praise others, and his adjectives rhyme so gorgeously.

Cheng Yuanzhi felt that if he encountered such a thing, he would only express his amazement with three consecutive words.

"Come on, brother, drink and drink."

The two raised their glasses and drank from the same bottle, and the atmosphere became more intense.

Yuan Shu put down the wine bottle and sighed: "Your Majesty has called you here this time, both as an accountability and a compliment."

"What's the meaning of this statement?"

"There has never been a precedent in this dynasty for massacring foreigners under rule. We always have to give them an explanation. Otherwise, how can many foreigners feel at ease?"

"I am self-prosperous, and foreigners are self-serving. Why do I need to explain?"

"This statement is wrong. Today's big man is no longer the big man who oppressed the world in the past."

"Hey, let's not talk about these things. When my younger brother sees His Majesty tomorrow, he will know for himself, drink, drink,"

The two cousins ​​reunited, they talked fiercely, and the conversation became more and more intense, and they both drank a few more glasses.

When the wine was full, Yuan Shu took out a greeting card from the desk.

Cheng Yuanzhi took a closer look and saw that the post had written "Yuan She pays homage to Lord Yuan Kai".

Puzzled, he asked, "What is the highway doing?"

In this day and age, an adult is not an official position, but a respectful title for the elders by the juniors, so you can't write or shout.

Yuan Shu explained with a smile: "My uncle has no descendants and wants to accept his virtuous brother as his adopted son."

Accept me as a foster son?
That's right, Yuan Wei is the current Situ, and the coffee position is there. Although he wrote this post, he has to take the lead in expressing his opinion.

Cheng Yuanzhi remained expressionless, thinking silently in his heart.

To recognize or not to recognize?
Until now, he finally understood the reason why Yuan Shu was so happy when he saw him.

It turned out that the two were about to change from superficial brothers to real brothers!

Superficial brothers are equal to cousins, and real brothers are equal to dry brothers, which is reasonable.

In this era, the adopted son has the same status as the biological son, and has the same inheritance status.So Lu Bu recognized Ding Yuan Dong Zhuo as his father, Qin Zhen worshiped Cao Cao as his father, and Liu Feng followed Liu Bei as his master...

It can be seen that at this time the set of identifying sons is extremely popular.

The son of the three princes of the current dynasty is also the adopted son of the Runan Yuan family, the largest family in the Han Dynasty. This is probably the dream of ordinary people for a lifetime.

For some reason, knowing that this move is beneficial to him, Cheng Yuanzhi faintly resisted.

Combined with their abnormal performance after upsetting many celebrities before.

It's killing!

What the hell!

This bunch of dog scholars who kill people with their mouths but not with knives!No wonder he was hated by Liu Zhi and Liu Hong, and directly imprisoned by the party for several years.

Yuan Kai must have listened to the fame they boasted, and then inquired from Yuan Shu about his personality, age, family background, and his friendship with Yuan Shu, and then he came up with the idea of ​​adopting him as a foster son.

This should be the general truth of the matter.

This situation once again proved that no matter what the occasion, Mu Xiuyu Lin will be destroyed, either by the wind or by people.

Afterwards, the two changed the topic and commented on various famous actors in Luoyang brothel.

It is worth mentioning that the brothel at this time is not the place where you sell your body and buy performances like later generations, but sell performances without selling your body. If you fancy a famous actress, you can spend some money to marry and play at home.

Cao Cao's second wife, Bian, was born in a brothel.

Usually when talking about this topic, Cheng Yuanzhi's knowledge blind spot is poked,
This is Yuan Shu's field of expertise.

Cheng Yuanzhi could only look up at him, watching him spit and boast.

Regarding this kind of matter, Cheng Yuanzhi has always practiced it personally and never talked about it.

The two chatted until late at night, Cheng Yuanzhi declined Yuan Shu's invitation to sleep with him, and went back to the next door to rest.

Cheng Yuanzhi is very helpless, this marriage has two harms, but only one benefit, he doesn't want to admit it.

The first harm is that it is too high-profile, which will attract people's envy and hatred. The second harm is that it is impossible to develop in a low-key manner from now on, and any action will be eagerly watched by people.

As for the benefits, since then the status has skyrocketed, and it will no longer be difficult to recruit talents from all over the world.

At this time, the foundation of the big man has not been dispersed, and the unified structure is still struggling to maintain. As long as Liu Hongjian is alive, it will continue to be maintained.

Because the military power is under his control, the general He Jin, the Nanyuan school lieutenant (the eighth school lieutenant of Xiyuan has not yet been set up at this time), and the forbidden army all obey him.

But he only had three years to live.

Many people have seen this, stopped working in the court, and began to plan for themselves, such as Liu Yan. Soon he will propose the state pastoral system, split from under Liu Hong's nose, and become a minister and a real king.

For example, Dong Zhuo, under the guise of suppressing the rebels in the Northwest, used the money, food and equipment from the treasury to massively expand his military strength and support the bandits.

Only Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, the stunned youths, are still passionate about trying to set things right.

Yuan Shu did not have this idea. He secretly controlled Nanyang, the first county of the Han Dynasty with a population of 250 million.

At the same time, Yuan Shu was still operating in Luoyang for a long time, and the money and food in the treasury had already piled up like a mountain.

That family background is really deep.

Cheng Yuanzhi originally planned to keep a low profile until the big change, quickly control Taiyuan and Shangdang, and use this as a base to develop quietly northward.

Then sit Taihang Mountain, Bingzhou, and two more populous counties, Hedong and Hanoi. After several years of dormancy, it is enough to frighten the Qianghu in the north and the Central Plains in the south.

But people are not as good as heaven.

Liu Yuankai's letter of acknowledgment changed his fate and position in an instant.

If you don't accept it, you will immediately offend Situ and the Yuan family.

Early the next morning, the leading eunuch drove to remind her.

Cheng Yuanzhi followed him to the outside of Deyang Hall in a daze, waiting for Liu Hong to summon him.

At the end of the dynasty, all the officials who filed out looked at him one after another, whispered to each other, and left.

At this time, an old man in his 60s stopped in front of him and said with a smile: "The emperor summoned you, why are you so depressed?"

Cheng Yuanzhi quickly raised his hands in greeting and forced a smile on his face: "I feel so uneasy that I don't dare to laugh."

"This is Yuan Situ." The eunuch leading the way reminded him.

Is this Yuan Wei who wants to be my father?You are so old. If you accept your marriage, I am afraid that you will inherit a huge family fortune in a short time...

I don't know how his family background is compared to Yuan Gonglu's?
Cheng Yuanzhi suddenly became agitated, and sweat broke out on his forehead.

Yuan Kai saw that "Yuan She" was absent-minded, and felt that this place was not a place to talk freely, so he said lightly:

"When you see Your Majesty, don't panic, just answer truthfully."

After all, drift away.

The eunuch took out a brocade handkerchief from his sleeve, handed it over and said, "You need to wipe it off."

Cheng Yuanzhi took two steps away hastily, and waved his hands again and again. The eunuch's things always felt like a monster, so how could he dare to take them.

The eunuch snorted coldly and turned his face away.

　Life of Liu Hong.

　　In the seventh year of Guanghe (184), Taiping Taoism advocated Jiaojiao to launch the Yellow Turban Uprising. Taiping Taoists in eight states in the world rose up, states and counties fell, and the court shook.At the suggestion of Huang Fusong, the prefect of Beidi County, and Lu Qiang, the permanent servant of the Central Committee, Liu Hong announced the lifting of the party's imprisonment and organized the officers and soldiers to quell the rebellion.

　　At the end of the year, the government army led by Huangfusong, Zhu Jun and others wiped out the Yellow Turban Army from all over the country. Liu Hong changed his name to Zhongping in order to show the peace of the world.But at the same time, Beigong Boyu, Li Wenhou, Han Sui, Bian Zhang and others in Liangzhou rebelled.

　　In the second year of Zhongping (185), Liu Hong sent Huangfu Song and Zhang Wen to Liangzhou to quell the rebellion. Not only did they fail to quell the rebellion, but they actually made the Liangzhou rebels grow stronger.

　　In the fourth year of Zhongping (187), Liangzhou fell, and Geng Bi, the governor of Liangzhou, and Fu Xie, the prefect of Hanyang, died in battle.

　　In the same year, Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju from Yuyang County joined forces with Wuhuan to launch a rebellion in Youzhou, beheading Wuhuan Xiaowei Jichou, Youbeiping prefect Liu Zheng, and Liaodong prefect Yang Zhong.

　　In addition to the difficulties on all sides, there were also undercurrents surging within the ruling group, such as Wang Fen's attempt to support the Marquis of Hefei and Yan Zhong's attempt to persuade Huangfu Song to stand on his own, but all ended in vain.The one after another rebellion in the world made Liu Hong gradually come out of the enjoyment of Xiyuan.In October of the fifth year of Zhongping (188), Liu Hong held a military parade in Pingtang, Luoyang. He called himself the "Supreme General" and reviewed the troops on horseback with a sword.

　　Passed away seven months later.
