"Cao Cao, you bastard! Cao Ang, you little bastard!" Yuan Shao cursed.For this descendant of four generations and three fathers, the current aggrievedness is something he has only seen in his life.

No, he didn't want to hold a funeral for his unlucky brother at all, he cared more about the broken imperial jade seal all over the place.Originally, in Yuan Shao's plan, he was only three steps away from becoming emperor: first, remove the name of Yuan Shu's family to solve the problem of public opinion; second, lay down another territory and become the boss of the princes; Imperial jade seal.

Now the first two are in progress in an orderly manner, but the third one, which was supposed to be easy to grab, was shot to pieces by Cao Ang with an arrow.

Yecheng immediately summoned skilled craftsmen and gathered in the palace to restore the jade seal.However, these thousands of fragments, large and small, were missing a lot in the chaos.Dozens of people worked hard for half a month, but they didn't recover in the end.

Missing blocks, unable to stand.It will fall apart without filling with adhesive.But even with glue, some carvings can never be restored. After all, none of the craftsmen has seen the jade seal when it is intact.

What's even more frightening is that the word "Heaven" on the jade seal, which says "ordered by the sky", has been completely lost.This is a big bad omen, which made Yuan Shao feel extremely bad, and the frequency of scolding "Cao Ang" skyrocketed.

"The bastard after the eunuch, short-sighted and ignorant. He still reads the books of sages and sages, so he must be stupid. He deserves it for being stupid and missing the jade seal, but he dared to do such a rebellious thing, and I will be unorthodox. Sooner or later He was condemned by the gods! Just wait, I think he has the appearance of dying young, and he will not live to be thirty."

When Yuan Ying was in a meeting, Yuan Shao cursed viciously first, his mouth became dry with saliva, and then he stopped to drink water to moisten his throat.

The upright Tian Feng strode forward and shouted loudly: "My lord, children with weak crowns know that the jade seal is not as good as virtue, why should the lord be obsessed with the jade seal? What matters now is the battle situation! Cao Cao annexed Yuzhou, plus Sili's Luoyang and Yangzhou's Jiujiang and Lujiang are no longer the land of the three prefectures. On the other hand, we, together with Liangzhou, are only three prefectures. What if Cao Cao takes advantage of the situation and goes northward, using the slogan of 'the one who destroys the Yuan family is king' to disturb our army's morale?"

Tian Feng can be said to be logical and thoughtful, but it is a pity that the advisers under Yuan Shao's account are notoriously fond of infighting.As soon as Tian Feng finished speaking, a judge jumped out: "Could it be that you, Tian Feng, are the only smart people in Yecheng? I've thought of this for a long time. However——Cao Cao sent Yuan Shu's corpse with kind words He was surrounded by Liu Biao, Tao Qian, Zhang Xiu, etc. He dared to go north to Jizhou, and he was kicked even from his old nest? This is one. It is the first of all things. If the name is not correct, the words will not go smoothly; if the words are not smooth, the affairs will fail; Siblings. My lord is so wise, is he a person who is obsessed with dead things? It's just that we were dragged down by Yuan Shu and lacked a reputation, so we need to pass on the jade seal of the country to deter the princes."

Jushou snorted coldly, and muttered in a low voice: "It's all broken, where is the deterrence, is it in a dream?"

His dissatisfaction was written on his face, and Yuan Shao noticed: "Ju Shou, what do you want to say?"

Ju Shou had no choice but to go out, he sighed: "My lord, what should I do with Yuan Shu's body?"

Yuan Shao bowed his head: "He has committed public anger, and it's too late for me to get rid of him."

"So it's that easy? The loyal man went through all kinds of difficulties to bring the body back. No matter what, the lord should show his respect. Besides, Yuan Shu is the lord's cousin after all, so he still has to do it."

It's just that if the funeral ceremony is done lightly, there is no brotherhood; if it is done too much, it will become a gang with Yuan Shu. This degree is really difficult to grasp.Yuan Shao had no choice but to ask the counselors to discuss this detail again.

So there was another quarrel in the camp.

It is impossible to beat Cao Cao, and it is impossible to beat Cao Cao this year.It was impossible for Yuan Shao to fight Cao Cao before he annexed Gongsun Zan in western Liaoning.The most united with Tao Qian, went to Qingzhou to fight the autumn wind.It's just that next year, whether or not to fight Cao Cao, how to fight, I'm afraid we will have to wait for this group of family elites to quarrel a few more times.

Yuan Shao frowned slightly, and the blue veins on his forehead showed an obvious bluish-purple like fibrous roots.On his left is Guo Tu, who shouted, "Bury it in half with the emperor's ceremony, so as to show the orthodoxy of the jade seal, and can also win the hearts of the south." Tian Feng.

Master Yuan just wanted to smash the porcelain incense burner in front of him, and then go back to the back house to hug his wife and children.His third favorite son, Yuan Shang, celebrated his 13th birthday today. The young man had just finished reading the "Five Classics" and learned how to compose poems and prose.

The counselors still quarreled over Yuan Shu's funeral, and even extended their political line in the future.But Yuan Shao has already lost his mind.

I don't know what happened to the poems written by Ah Shang today?

Mrs. Liu said she was dizzy in the morning, and her face, which was as delicate as flowers in the past, was pale.In the morning, the kitchen was ordered to stew chicken soup. I wonder if she ate it?

Thinking in this way, Yuan Shao finally showed a smile on his face, looking at the image of a polite and tolerant lord again.

In fact, the biggest problem with Yuan Shao's camp is that the factions are chaotic.Because he claims to be the leader of the family, when forming a team, he will not refuse anyone from the Qingliu celebrities and wealthy families.Now every time there is a decision, the people below are arguing endlessly for one breath.

Yuan Shao was very annoying to them, and he didn't bother to tell who was more loyal among them, he just felt that they all had their own little thoughts.Who is not a family?Who hasn't come from the counselor?He, Yuan Benchu, started his career as an aide to General He Jin, and now the trees on He Jin's grave can bear pine nuts, which is why he has achieved his current career.

Yuan Shao used himself to push others, so he felt that the counselors were all outsiders after all, and they just wanted to use themselves to climb up. Who knows if these people are slandering him in their hearts, or are their wives and children cute.

Yuan Shao, who had this kind of thinking, was exactly in line with Guo Jia's sentence "On the surface, he is courteous and virtuous, but in reality he is self-willed".But no matter how much people in Juancheng look down on Yuan Shao, he can still cause trouble for Cao Cao.For example, when he heard of the wedding of Cao Zhen and Sun Ce, Yuan Shao sent someone to Juancheng to send a generous gift, a whole box of antiques and curios, which he called "makeup for my niece".

Due to the delay in the news and the delay on the road, it was already October when this shiny golden box of local tyrants arrived in Juancheng.

Mrs. Ding was happy holding the Qingzhou apple one second, but changed her face the next second. "Bah, when did our Ah Zhen become Yuan Thief's niece?" She slapped the food table and glared at Cao Cao, scaring Madam Bian and Madam Huan so much that they both bowed their heads and dared not speak.

"I suddenly remembered that I still have business to deal with." Seeing that the situation was not good, Cao Cao got up and wanted to run, but Mrs. Ding grabbed the jade pendant around his waist.

"Oh, Meng De—" Mrs. Ding showed a threatening smile.

Cao Cao: ... "Madam calm down, calm down."

Madam Ding gritted her teeth and lowered her voice: "Let you make friends randomly when you are young!"

Cao Cao also lowered his voice: "My friend! My friendship with Yuan Shao was exhausted when I greeted the late emperor. He was buried in the dung heap by the late emperor's last words, and he wanted me to stink with him!"

"Then what do you say now?"

"Take it, it will make us look stingy if we don't take it." Cao Cao replied in a low voice, "It's a pity that these golden lacquer jades will bother Madam and lock them in the warehouse, so I dare not show them to others."

Mrs. Ding gave a small pooh again: "Big gold and red, what kind of vulgar stuff, you know how to dislike me."

"Hey, hello." Cao Cao exclaimed exaggeratedly, then picked up Madam Ding and walked around in a circle, "You are getting more and more lazy after your son and daughter get married and start a business, and you don't even want to accept the slightest grievance."

"You let me down, all the servants are here, what's the matter?"

"Hahahahaha." Cao Cao ignored it, hugged Mrs. Ding and turned to the back of the screen, rubbing against each other again, wrinkling Cheng Ji's skirt.

Cousin Ding held a big hairy head in her arms, and sighed: "Are you going to fight again?"

Cao Cao let out a "huh" and continued to bury his chest for a while, then suddenly let her go, turned around and left decisively.

He strode away from the warm back house and walked into the chilly autumn wind.Behind them, there was a series of hasty and uneasy "respectfully send off the gentleman", but Cao Cao didn't even give them a look: "Prepare the horse, go to the barracks first. Let Xia Houdun, Xia Houyuan, Cao Hong, Cao Ren, Dian Wei, Guan Hai, Xu Chu , together with Guo Jia, Cheng Yu, Xun You, Xun Yu, Xi Zhicai, etc., went to Daying in the southern suburbs to discuss matters. Oh, yes, there will be a banquet at Huanghuatai in the evening, with rice wine and autumn crabs. I want to invite Liu Xuande to a banquet. Tomorrow, please Chen The palace and the heads of the various families in Yanzhou..."

Cao Cao's angry voice gradually faded away, but it seemed that his thoughts were as endless as military and political affairs.

It wasn't until Cao Cao's back disappeared that Madam Ding adjusted her clothes and turned around from behind the screen.

"Ma'am." The two concubines and a group of maidservants bowed their heads to show respect, and did not straighten their upper body until she made a "raise" gesture.Mrs. Bian went up to hold her left hand winkingly, and Mrs. Huan followed behind her right hand step by step.

"Ah Huan."

"I'm here." Mrs. Huan replied in a low voice.

"Look at that green pine, when it was young, it only knew how to fight with snakes, insects, rats and ants. Although it was thrilling, it was not unpleasant to grow freely. When it grows into a towering giant tree, what it faces is the invincible wind and the precariousness. The rocks in the mountains can only grow branches along the direction of the wind, and extend the root system along the cracks in the rocks, why is that?"

Mrs. Bian opened her mouth invisibly, but she didn't dare to speak up in front of Mrs. Ding.

Mrs. Huan's face was pale, and after thinking for a long time, she slowly whispered: "Because the green pine has grown into a big tree?"

Madam Ding sighed: "Because the green pine has grown into a big tree."
