In the meantime, don't make Zhen Mi jealous!
This difficulty level is almost the same as hell difficulty level.
An hour later, New Year's Eve Banquet finally ended.
Yuan Shao took his three sons, Zihe, and nephew back home to reunite with their families, and the others also left one by one.
Xuan Room.
Liu Bei came to see Liu Xie privately, while Lü Bu went to the Ziyun Palace to see Lü Lingqi.
"Your Majesty, we must not let Gao Gan be ordered to conquer Hanzhong!"
As soon as he saw Liu Xie, Liu Bei, he said anxiously.
"How can I not know!" Liu Xie sighed heavily, his face full of bitterness and unwillingness, "But I am just a Puppet! Yuan Shao forced me to have sex with Battlefield, and I can't refuse, let alone this matter?"
Liu Bei After hearing this, he clenched his fists angrily, eyes burning with anger.
If Liu Zhang hadn't suddenly come to Ye City to ask for help from Imperial Court, how could Yuan Shao have found the opportunity to legitimately send an army into Yi Province?
"Yuan Thief is immortal, how can Han Dynasty regain his sight!"
"I've heard for a long time that Liu Zhang is a very talented person, but I never thought that this guy would succeed more than fail!"
"For him to come to Ye City to ask for help is tantamount to inviting a wolf into the house!"
Looking at the angry Liu Bei, Liu Xie said worriedly, "Liu Zhang is far away from Yi Province. I'm afraid I didn't expect that I would However, he has no power at all and has completely become Puppet. He must have seen this just now, so he used New Year's Eve Banquet as an excuse not to talk about state affairs. But he can hide from today, but he cannot hide from tomorrow."
There is no doubt that Yuan Shao will revive this topic early tomorrow morning.
Finally, Liu Xie issued an edict, ordering Gao Gan to attack Zhang Lu.
Take this God-given opportunity to get involved with Yi Province.
"Hateful!"
Liu Bei cursed through gritted teeth.
Liu Xie comforted Liu Bei a little and said, "After today, Yuan Shao will definitely force me to issue an edict, ordering Gao Gan to conquer Zhang Lu."
"I want Imperial Uncle to secretly lead thousands of elite troops to Yi Province to prevent Gao Gan from attacking Zhang Lu and using Hanzhong as a stronghold to occupy the entire Yi Province."
Liu Bei solemnly promised, "I obey the decree! I will protect Yi Province for Your Majesty, and will not let Yuan Thief have any influence on it."
Liu Xie nodded slightly, but there was also worry in his heart.
Although he hopes that Liu Bei can capture Yi Province as it did in history, to open up territory for himself and seize an excellent base area.
But he was also worried that after taking Yi Province, he would have some unwanted thoughts, so he decided to give him a strong dose of medicine.
So he grabbed Liu Bei's hands and said with a sincere (feeling) face:
"Although Liu Zhang is Han House clansman, he is weak and incompetent and cannot protect the world of the Han Dynasty. Imperial Uncle might as well take his place after Yi Province arrives."
Liu Bei shook his head quickly, "Your Majesty, how can this be done? Liu Zhang's Governor of Yi Province inherited his father Liu Yan. How can I seize the position of the same clan!"
Liu Xie sighed, seemingly with infinite emotion. "I have been reduced to Puppet of Dong Zhuo and Yuan Shao one after another. This life can be described as walking on thin ice, and I can't even take my own life. Imperial Uncle can replace Liu Zhang to take charge of Yi Province, I can rest assured. In this way, even if something unexpected happens to me one day, Han Dynasty will still have Imperial Uncle to support me."
Liu Bei heard this, his eyes turned red instantly, and he felt that a surge of anger and hatred was going to burn him to death.
He could not wait to call out Guan Yu and Zhang Fei immediately, and go to General Yuan Shao's Residence to kill all Yuan Family.
Seeing that Liu Bei's emotions were already in place, Liu Xie quickly increased his efforts. "My personal safety is small, Han Dynasty's safety is big. I, Han Dynasty, am the country, It must not be destroyed at the hands of Traitor! Not to mention Governor of Yi Province of Liu Zhang. Even if I encounter an unexpected situation one day, Imperial Uncle can replace it."
"I am terrified!" Liu Bei Tiger Eyes burst into tears and kowtowed, "How dare I not fail to do my best! Following on from the loyalty and loyalty! Following up with the call for death!"
"I'm going to Yi Province. I don't know how many years have passed. I just hope that Your Majesty will take care of the dragon's body. Don't say such things again."
Chapter 144 Yuan Clan Brothers Yanqiang, Xu You Defection
In this New Year's Eve Banquet, some people are happy and some are worried.
Liu Bei left Imperial Palace late at night, his eyes red when he left.
Jia Xu also left Xu You's house late at night, with a smile on his face when he left.
Not long after he returned home and slept, Yuan Xi came to visit with gifts.
Yesterday on New Year's Eve Banquet, after Yuan Xi got the position of Governor of You Province personally promised by Yuan Shao, he was so excited that he couldn't sleep all night.
So at dawn, he hurried to Jia Xu's house.
Seeing the red-faced Yuan Xi, Jia Xu yawned, raised his eyelids slightly, and asked, "Why did Second Young Master come to the door so early?"
"Xi came here specifically to thank Minister of the Imperial Clan." As Yuan Xi spoke, he put the wooden box in his hand on the table, "I know Minister of the Imperial Clan likes treasures, and small gifts are not disrespectful, so I hope you will accept them."
After that, he opened the wooden box and gently pushed it in front of Jia Xu.
Jia Xu glanced at it and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and said, "Second Young Master, why did you give me such a big gift for no reason?"
What is in this wooden box is East Sea shark beads.
Each one is worth thousands of gold.
There are exactly ten pieces in the box!
Yuan Xi waved his hand to send such a precious gift, but he did not show any distress at all, but said sincerely:
"If Minister of the Imperial Clan hadn't spoken kindly for me in front of my father, how would my father have promised me the position of Governor of You Province? Compared with the big gift Minister of the Imperial Clan gave me, these shark beads are nothing."
Yuan Shao was a little disgusted with him before.
But since the last time Jia Xu agreed to help him, he found that Yuan Shao's attitude towards him gradually changed, and last night he directly agreed to take the position of Governor of You Province!
There were such big changes before and after, Yuan Xi could even imagine with his butt that Jia Xu must have contributed, so he had to express it.
He still knows this about human nature.
But what Yuan Xi didn't expect was that Jia Xu had a look of disappointment on his face after listening.
"I originally thought that Second Young Master was a rare young talent with a deep chest and great ambitions. But unexpectedly, I misjudged him and turned out to be just a short-sighted person."
"Second Young Master, it's better to take this gift back."
Jia Xu didn't even look at the shark beads in the wooden box, and directly issued an eviction order.
Yuan Xi was immediately stunned by his words. After reacting, he quickly said, "Minister of the Imperial Clan is not satisfied with this gift? I will go back and prepare a new one!"
At this moment, he felt a little annoyed at his haste.
Compared with the position of Governor of You Province, ten shark beads are nothing. No wonder Jia Xu is angry because of this. He is too ignorant.
"It seems Second Young Master still doesn't understand."
Jia Xu sighed after hearing this, and said to Yuan Xi with some pity, "You are here to be happy for a mere Governor of You Province, but you don't know that you have been excluded from Heir's Position's successor by Grand General."
"You have no idea what you've lost."
Yuan Xi's expression suddenly changed, and he asked in confusion, "Minister of the Imperial Clan What do you mean by this? What does it mean to be excluded from the heirs? Doesn't my father value me and allow me to be Governor of You Province?"
He didn't understand the meaning of Jia Xu's words at all.
In his opinion, the appointment of eldest brother Yuan Tan as Governor of Qing Province is a sign of his father's cultivation and attention; letting him serve as Governor of You Province in the future shows that his status in his father's heart is no less than that of his eldest brother!
Why was he excluded from being the heir?
Faced with Yuan Xi's question, Jia Xu said unhurriedly, "The Bingzhou Shepherd will be held by Gao Gan, the nephew of the general, the Qingzhou Shepherd will be held by the eldest son, and the Youzhou Shepherd will be held by the second son, Qin."
"Then I dare to ask Second Young Master, who will be in charge of Governor of Ji Province... in the future?"
Yuan Xi was stunned. After a moment, a look of belief appeared in his eyes, and he asked Jia Xu in a trembling voice, "Is it... the third brother?!"
"Second Young Master Just be clear."
Jia Xu said lightly, "Ji Province is the foundation of Grand General. Whoever can take on the role of Governor of Ji Province will inherit everything from Grand General in the future."
"Grand General handed over Governor of You Province and Governor of Qing Province to Second Young Master and Eldest Son respectively, but did not give Third Young Master the position. Isn't this obvious enough?"
"I thought Second Young Master knew this. Who would have thought about it but didn't know anything about it? It's really disappointing. There is not enough wisdom and strategy."
Jia Xu shook his head and said, about to get up and leave.
At this time, Yuan Xi's face was completely pale.
His hand became unstable, and the wooden box fell to the ground. The shark beads worth tens of thousands of gold inside spilled out and rolled everywhere on the ground.
And this voice also brought Yuan Xi back to his senses.
"Minister of the Imperial Clan Please stay!"
Yuan Xi quickly stepped forward, grabbed Jia Xu's sleeve, and begged, "Please Minister of the Imperial Clan help me!"
Jia Xu pulled on his clothes and was about to leave, "I can't help."
But Yuan Xi held on to Jia Xu and refused to let him go. He even choked with tears and said, "I know I am stupid, but please Minister of the Imperial Clan, out of my sincerity, help me again! I will repay Minister of the Imperial Clan a thousand times in the future!"
Jia Xu seemed to hesitate, and after a long time he sighed, "Oh... Second Young Master just let go."
Yuan Xi looked up at Jia Xu with tears in his eyes, and asked full of hope, "Minister of the Imperial Clan are you willing to help me? If not, I won't be able to kneel here for a long time!"
Jia Xu said sternly, "Second Young Master has already talked about it, why should I stand by and watch? I will try my best to help Second Young Master win Heir's Position! However, I have a condition."
"Minister of the Imperial Clan, please tell me! Don't say it's just one condition, even if it's hundreds or thousands, I will still agree!" Yuan Xi was overjoyed and agreed immediately.
As long as Jia Xu can agree to help him, it will be a great thing. What conditions can he care about now?
"No, only one."
Jia Xu looked sharply at Yuan Xi and said in a deep voice, "Second Young Master must promise me that when fighting for Heir's Position in the future, no matter what means are used, he will never be merciful!"
"The battle between Heir's Position is bloody and cruel. If you lose, you will die! Yuan Shu is the half-brother of Grand General. He competes with Grand General for the world. After losing, they were both executed by Grand General himself. This is the character of those who achieve great things!"
"Stay alive, stay alive by any means necessary!"
"Only to become the final winner!"
"This is my only request for Second Young Master!"
Jia Xu's tone was extremely cold, and the murderous intent revealed in it made Yuan Xi couldn't help but shudder.
The scene of Yuan Shu being beheaded appeared in his mind involuntarily.
