Chapter 180 Afflicting Chiyu
No matter how stupid Yuan Shu was, he could hear Yuan Wei's anger and contempt. He was so angry that his face turned red. He was about to leave, but when he saw that Malen was pale and shaky, his first reaction was to catch up and support her and shout for the doctor to come. Malen waved his hand powerlessly, indicating that Yuan Shu would not make trouble all over the city, and that such things would be not a good choice for her. Yuan Shu did not dare to disobey, and stroked Malen's back, helped her to calm her down for a long time, and finally calmed her down.
"Highway, you usually ask you to study, but you just don't listen." Malen was heartbroken and pointed his finger at Yuan Shu's nose with a trembling finger. You can't sit still, fighting Benchu? I think you can't even fight that little guy."
Yuan Shu was very dissatisfied, and I could not fight against Yuan Shao's illegitimate son. I couldn't even fight against Liu Xiu, the country man. But he had always respected Mallen. Now that Mallen was blamed by Yuan Wei, he did not dare to talk back as calmly as usual, but just kept his head silent. When Mallen saw him, he was dissatisfied, so he asked me again, "Is there any powerful trick in this memorial?"
Yuan Shu blinked, clenched the corner of his mouth with his fingers, and thought for a long time, then he said uncertainly that he had a more serious crime and had not said anything about it?"
"I'm not stupid enough." Ma Lun breathed a sigh of relief and explained to Yuan Shu in detail. Liu Xiu submitted a statement to impeach Yuan Wei for dereliction of duty, but said that Yuan Wei was incompetent in the position of Situ, and did not involve anything else. The crime of dereliction of duty can be big or small. You can say that he was just saying it, or that he was a big but inappropriate person. According to this standard, which of the three ministers and nine ministers will not dereliction of duty?
This is a universal crime. Although there are not many people who dare to use this crime to accuse the Three Dukes, there are not many people. This crime alone cannot defend Yuan Wei's position as Situ. From another perspective, if he really wants to defeat the Yuan family, why should he use such a crime? Among the few things that Liu Xiu said in the Yuan Mansion that day, he would have to pull out casually, which is more serious than the one that dereliction of duty. Not to mention anything else, the crime of overpassing the Yuan family is enough to make the Yuan family drink a pot. No matter how rich the Yuan family is, he is a minister after all, but the scale of the Yuan family's mansion is far beyond the standards that a minister can have. This is called over-the-counterfeiting. To put it more, this is called having a disobedience.
This is also a universal crime, but it is much more lethal than dereliction of duty.
But Liu Xiuwei was useless? It was not that he dared not. He took the initiative to make a fuss with the Yuan family. He dared not. He did this just to keep his back, and after the Yuan family made an extreme reaction, he would further expand the situation.
This is not timidity, but rather a sign of having a backhand.
Although Yuan Shu was naughty, he was not stupid. As soon as Mall explained, he understood the hidden murderous intent. He scratched his head and felt that he would not get into trouble. He had many ways to kill Liu Xiu, but it was not easy to do it cleanly. Liu Xiu was obviously barefoot and was not afraid of wearing shoes. Maybe he had the intention to become famous by stepping on the Yuan family. What was even more annoying is that Liu Xiu was a disciple of Lu Zhi. Mall might ask him to deal with Liu Xiu, but he would never let him kill Liu Xiu, so she could not explain to Lu Zhi.
But for a common man like Liu Xiu, he has nothing except a bad life.
"Uncle?" Yuan Shu asked Mulun for advice with a flattering smile.
Mall leaned on the podium, looking at the blue sky outside with a flashing look. The sun was so bright that it was a little dazzling. It had not rained for several months, and even the flowers and plants in the yard were a little listless. The more Mall thought about it, the more nervous he felt. Liu Xiu's memoir only showed a sign. What tricks did he have behind him? From Liu Xiu's perspective, Mall soon gave a few more lethal accusations, each of which was enough to make Yuan Wei feel embarrassed. It was no problem to lose the position of Situ, and it was not impossible to even lose his life.
Mall accidentally considered Liu Xiu from the perspective of his opponent. She felt that Liu Xiu must have wanted to get the methods he thought of with Liu Xiu's insidiousness.
"Let the Xu family settle this matter." Malun pondered for a long time, and said that Xu Xun was Sikong. I want to see if this Liu Xiu is really fearless, or if he is still fighting the trapped beast, and he is fighting to death."
Yuan Shu blinked and asked the Xu family to come forward, that was, the Yuan family wanted to endure this tone. For him, who had never suffered a bad life, this result was obviously not a good result.
"Think about it, if Benchu encountered this situation, he would do it." Malen patted Yuan Shu's hand and signaled him not to hurry and think about it from another angle. Although Yuan Shu was unhappy, he didn't dare to ignore it. When his eyes rolled, he understood what Malen meant.
"Uncle, I...I'll go to Liu Xiu... to ask for advice?" It's very difficult to say this from Yuan Shu's mouth.
"Highway, you have learned from your mistakes and gain wisdom. You finally got to know yourself." Malun said to Yuan Shu with relief. He reached out to pick up Yuan Shu's cheeks and all of them were good. I said that if you want to take it, you must give it first. I don't need to talk to you more about this principle, right? You have many words on Wu Novels.com, but you just refuse to bow your head. In fact, sometimes bowing your head is more useful than raising your head. Look at what you are doing, and you are."
Yuan Shu's face looked very ugly. If it weren't for Mullen's words, he would have jumped up and cursed. He said this to him not just to hit him, but to consider him. He suppressed the anger in his heart and savored Mullen's words, and suddenly realized that he had really lost to Yuan Shao in this regard.
Yuan Shao was adopted by Yuan Cheng, the eldest wife of Yuan Tang's lineage. Among them, Yuan Shao was the first to be a Puyang ruling. He was just twenty years old. Later, he was resigned from office because of his mother's worries and mourned for three years. Then he surrendered Yuan Cheng for three years. He obeyed him for six years when he was the most supposed to be an official. Then he lived in Luoyang and refused to become an official. Yuan Shu originally thought he was troublesome and hypocritical, but now he is more useful than being an official. Although Yuan Shao's highest position is only 600 stones, he is much lower than Yuan Shu's lieutenant, but Yuan Shao's reputation is not something that Yuan Shu dares to hope for.
Whether it is a hero or a famous scholar who comes to Luoyang, they will go to see Yuan Shao, and few people come to see Yuan Shu on their own initiative. This incident has always made Yuan Shu feel very upset. He feels that the famous scholars and celebrities are blind and only praise the stinky feet of the Yuan family's concubine's son. However, the Yuan family is now strong, Yuan Feng and Yuan Wei. Yuan Feng inherited the title of Yuan Tang, and Yuan Wei was the earliest of this generation to the third duke.
Now he understood that this was Yuan Shao's business method, and he was more famous than being an official than being an official. Yuan Shao was demoted to all the heroes and famous scholars who came to visit him. He seemed to have no prestige of the public, but this was even more prestige.
"I understand. Uncle, don't worry, I will not be compared by that illegitimate son." Yuan Shu gritted his teeth and stomped his feet to pretend that he could not do it."
"That's right." Malun was very pleased and gave him another advice to let him push the Xu family out. Yuan Shu understood it and excitedly arranged it. He found Xu Yong, the stupid and serious person who was scolded by Liu Xiu and vomited blood. For your sake, our Yuan family has become Liu Xiu's enemy. He impeached my uncle, Lord Situ, dereliction of duty. Should you also do some effort to help my uncle solve the situation?
Xu Yong had no choice but to pass Yuan Shu's opinion to Sikong Xu Xun. Xu Xun had already reported that Liu Xiu had impeached Yuan Wei, but he didn't expect that this matter would be involved. He just lamented that people these days dared to do anything in order to become famous. In his opinion, it was definitely not a good idea to step on the shoulders of the Yuan family. Maybe it would be a mistake to become famous in the short term. The Yuan family would avenge this revenge sooner or later. But he did not expect that this matter would involve his Xu family. The Yuan family would not offend him and must rescue him. So Xu Yong defended Yuan Wei, saying that there was insufficient financial resources. Although Situ could not escape the responsibility, it was the matter of the Grand Secretary's Farmer, and demanded that the Grand Secretary's Farmer Cao Song be dismissed.
Liu Xiu impeached Yuan Wei just to listen to it. The students of the Taishou felt that he had the courage. No one in the court dared to stand up to express his approval. However, Xu Xun's impeachment of Cao Song was very different. The people who attached the comments were rushing to be considered as sympathetic to the eunuch party. The real eunuch party did not support Cao Song either. In their opinion, the Cao family was determined to defect to the aristocratic family, which was not worthy of sympathy.
So the main impeachment of Liu Xiu, the master of Situ Yuan Wei, was not affected, but the Grand Secretary Cao Song was dismissed from office. Cao Song was still watching jokes, wanting to see how far Liu Xiu and the Yuan family could fight and how capable they were. Unexpectedly, they saw that the disaster was caused by the city gate. The fire broke out, causing trouble, and Yuan Wei did not make any trouble, so he lost the official for no reason. He was so angry that he cursed, calling the Yuan family and Xu Xun shameless and did not dare to compete with Liu Xiu face to face. He only dared to show off his anger and scolded Liu Xiu for being troubled. You can't do it well, but you insist on financial affairs?
At this moment, Cao Luan also encountered trouble. After accepting Liu Xiu's suggestion, she was reborn in a short time and quickly conquered Song Qi and kept him in obediently. Song Qi was fascinated by her coquettish charm from the inside out and could not stop. She circled around her like a greedy cat every day. After gaining Song Qi's favor, Cao Luan just said a few coquettishly and quietly drove the beautiful concubines who were originally favored out of the house.
After Cao Luan won the flag, she was not as happy as a little rich man. Her concept changed a lot. She no longer thought that Cao Cao's original idea was nonsense. On the contrary, she thought that such a good way would not allow Empress Song to use it to win the favor of the emperor, but to just conquer Song Qi, which would be a bit useless. So she found an opportunity to go to the palace to meet Empress Song, and showed up to say that Empress Song also changed her old-fashioned and boring style, and thought about please the emperor and solve the major crisis facing the Song family.
The Song family is in crisis? The Song family is in crisis. Empress Song's aunt is the princess of Liu Ju, the brother of Emperor Huan. In the first year of Xiping, he was falsely rebelled and the couple was killed together. The initiator was Cao Jie, Wang Fu and others, who are the most powerful Zhongchangshi. The Song family became the queen, and Cao Jie and others might live in peace? What they fear most was that Empress Song gave birth to a queen and became the queen mother in the future. None of them could escape, and even if they died, they would have to be dug out and whipped the body.
There is no room for ease between the Song family and the eunuchs, only to die. But what makes the Song family depressed is that Empress Song has been in power for six years. Not to mention having a child, she has not even given birth to a daughter. In fact, it is simple. The emperor doesn't like her at all, and she can't come to her palace a few times a year. It would be strange that she can give birth to it.
Therefore, although Empress Song felt that Cao Luan's suggestions were too ridiculous, she seemed to have grabbed a life-saving straw and refused to let go. She followed Cao Luan's method to teach, first studied Yuefu, then practiced physical posture, dressed up well, and then found an opportunity to show her face in front of the emperor. The effect was very bad. The emperor, who was rarely seen directly, suddenly had a bright look at her, and she chatted with her in a very bad mood. She had a meal in the Jiaofang Hall that day.
This made Empress Song cry with joy. She has been in the palace for so many years, but when she first became the queen, she saw the emperor smiling and had dinner together in the Jiaofang Hall.
However, just when Queen Song decided to continue to work hard, the effect ended here. The emperor came twice and never came again.
Empress Song was puzzled, and Cao Luan was also confused. She was still so attractive to Song Qi and was very favored every night. The emperor was tired of it so quickly? Although Empress Song was able to be a queen and was related to the Song family's family background, her talent and appearance were not bad, otherwise she would not have been selected and entered the palace through layers of selection.
Cao Luan was puzzled and had to discuss it with Cao Cao. He happened to learn that Cao Song's Grand Marshal was dismissed, which was a disaster. She had no choice but to ask Cao Song to ask Cao Cao to return to Luoyang to discuss it immediately. Cao Cao returned to Luoyang soon, but was in a very bad mood because he was also in trouble. Pei Xiang Wang Ji grabbed the trivial matter he had committed in the past and wanted to arrest him. Fortunately, Xiahou Yuan was punished and he was spared. Xiahou Yuan was still in prison now.
When Cao Song heard this, his face was ashamed. His affairs were probably related to the Song family. Wang Ji was Wang Fu's adopted son. It was probably because Wang Fu learned that Empress Song had the intention to compete for favor, so he signaled Wang Ji to attack Cao Cao. Perhaps they believed that the leader behind Empress Song's competition for favor was Cao Cao. Eliminating Cao Cao was to get rid of the Song family's think tank.
Before Cao Cao arrived in Luoyang, there was not so many things happening in Luoyang, and the final roots of these things were all concentrated on Liu Xiu, so he couldn't help but feel embarrassed. He originally wanted to hide from Liu Xiu and stay away from him to avoid being affected, but he still didn't do it. Liu Xiu lit a fire, but nothing happened, but he was burned to pieces. His father's Grand Marshal was also relieved of the loss. Only those who have done it can know how much fuel is in this position.
"You might as well ask Yuan Benchu. The governor of Yuzhou Cheng is an old official of the Yuan family. Please write a letter to Chengju, so that Chengju will impeach Wang Ji and abuse him." Cao Song was very depressed, but had no choice.
Cao Cao was hesitant, should he plead with Yuan Shao or ask Liu Xiu for advice? This is a major matter related to life and death. Although the Yuan family has not counterattacked Liu Xiu's impeachment now, Liu Xiu was thinking that he was generally clear that Liu Xiu's actions were not as simple as becoming famous by the Yuan family. What he had to do was far greater than becoming famous.
If it is done, it will naturally be a step to reach the sky. If it is not done, he will probably not be able to board Yuan Shao's ship again.
Cao Cao thought for a day and a night, discussed with Cao Luan for a long time, but finally gritted his teeth and decided to visit Liu Xiu. He was in danger and followed Yuan Shao. He was always a contemptuous man who was looked down upon. If he helped Liu Xiu now, Liu Xiu would be grateful to him for his whole life. After success, he would not lose his pill. The risks are great, but the benefits are also very obvious.
Cao Cao came to Luofu Noodle Restaurant again, but did not see Liu Xiu. When he asked the shopkeeper Hu Shicai, Liu Xiu was busy with the opening of Lingtai branch these two days. In order to open the business in front of the big cloud, Liu Xiu was so busy that he had no time to go back to Buyunli, so he lived directly in Lingtai branch.
Cao Cao hurried to the Lingtai branch, and the one that appeared in front of him was not a noodle restaurant, but a gym. The house was a building attached to Lingtai. The doors were open inside and outside, with three floors and five rooms across. The real place to sell noodle is just the first floor. Although the private rooms on the second and third floors also sell noodle wine, it is mainly the place where the Tao is discussed. In the middle of the second floor is a one-person-high podium. From the second and third floors, you can directly see the scene on the stage.
Liu Xiu was directing several lacquers to depict the decoration in the center of the platform. It was a circle with a curve in the middle that divided the circle into two halves of black and white. There was a white dot in the black half and a black dot in the white half.
"Deran, is this picture?" Cao Cao walked forward and said intimately. This is not a Hetu or Luoshu. What is the knowledge that seems to be?"
Liu Xiuzheng drew the white dot with his own hand. He had seen Cao Cao's figure long ago, but he did not get up. He turned his head until Cao Cao greeted him, and then showed a joyful expression, laughing and saying, "Meng De, will he be from his hometown so soon?"
Cao Cao was a little embarrassed. He didn't know whether Liu Xiu's words were true or false, so he had to nod, "I just came to see you yesterday."
"Hahaha..." Liu Xiu handed the paint and pen in his hand to the painter. While washing his hands, he smiled and said, "I was really in tune with each other. I was thinking that if I didn't have Meng De's fun, I would lose a lot of color. You'll hurry up."
Cao Cao smiled at Tai Chi Gym? Isn’t selling noodles anymore?”
"Selling, but that's a very small business. I can't always be a small businessman who is looked down upon." Liu Xiu and Cao Cao were appreciating the Tai Chi diagram he had just completed with satisfaction, and said proudly Meng De, how about my Taoist temple?"
"Tianjin and elegant." Cao Cao said convincedly. This Tai Chi Taoist temple exudes a sense of knowledge from the inside to the outside. Whether it is the calligraphy and paintings on the wall or the patterns on the pillars, it is very different from the Luofu Noodle House in the market. "It costs a lot of money to decorate this way, right? Nothing to say, two hundred gold or three hundred gold?"
Liu Xiu smiled, avoided answering, pulled Cao Cao downstairs and sat down, and asked someone to send him some wine and food, and asked Cao Cao to take a sip, then he said with a smile that it was just five hundred gold."
Cao Cao directly sprayed out all the wine he had just drunk, his eyes widened, and it took him a long time to say that he was good at Morality, you have become rich, and in less than two months, can you actually take out five hundred gold?"
"I don't." Liu Xiu shook his head, "I'm just an open boss, and the real boss won't come forward."
Cao Cao's heart moved and said half-jokingly, who could use such a big face to touch Deran?"
Liu Xiu smiled and smiled that there are many powerful people in Luoyang, and I am just a villain, not. You said that, but you have some bad intentions. You look down on me, but you think I am arrogant and injustice."
Cao Cao was a little anxious and said it was useless. Let’s talk to me about it. Who is the real boss?"
It is by】.!!!
