Chapter 27 The desire of the Yuan family

Yuanshou seemed to have been ten years old. In just one morning, his whole spirit collapsed. In the morning, he went to attend the court meeting with great energy, but he never expected that this would be his eternal leave in the officialdom.

In the study, Yuanshou leaned weakly against the soft mattress, staring at a piece of characters on the wall with dull eyes, a large banner, and two simple and vigorous words on the snow-white paper, "Corruption", which is Yuanshou's motto, but these two words appear so pale at this time.

Yuan Shangwu was with his father worriedly. He was worried that his career would be affected by this incident?

Yuan Shangwu was not born to Yuanshou's original wife. The three sons born to the original wife had died of illness, and one had a problem with his mind and was imprisoned in the old house. Yuan Shangwu became the eldest son.

He is only 30 years old this year. Because his wife had an affair with the King of Qi, he received compensation and became the general of the left prison guard. It has been less than half a year. Is it over?

Yuan Shangwu bit his lip, he glanced at Zhang Jin who was walking in the room with his hands behind his back, and whispered: "Uncle Shi, I think this matter is a bit of a big deal? Is it a bit unreasonable that if the Yuan family's business grows bigger, it will be regarded as a rebellion? This is a bit unreasonable! Yuwen Shu used to run pig iron and controlled 70% of the capital, so why didn't he be investigated?"

"Nephew, the matter is not as simple as you think. You can control the grain of Jiangdu, the grain of Chang'an, and the grain of any place, but you cannot control the grain of the capital. So the reason for Yang Yuanqing's impeachment is that he has ulterior motives. This is called the crime of heartbrokenness. Do you understand? If you control the grain of the capital, you will be regarded as having the intention of rebellion. This kind of thing cannot be said explicitly, but everyone understands in their hearts. Of course, the emperor will not use this matter to punish the Yuan family, but he will inevitably use other things to attack, and it will sweep across the storm and uproot the Yuan family. So your father must resign himself in order to protect the Yuan family."

Speaking of this, Zhang Jin sighed, "After all, we misjudged the situation and thought he would balance the power. Unexpectedly, he was still suppressing the Guanlong nobles and could not tolerate the unity of the Guanlong nobles. The meeting last night was a big mistake and he made his big taboo."

Yuan Shangwu said angrily: "Why is the Guanlong nobles united? They all stabbed my father in the back and fucked me. Dugu Zhen turned into a prime minister. Is this what is called unity?"

When his son mentioned the Dugu family, Yuanshou's dull eyes disappeared, and two balls of flames burned in his eyes. He stared at the banner of "Corruption" with gritted teeth and said, "I always thought Yang Yuanqing was the first enemy of my Yuan family. Now I know that I was wrong. The Dugu family is the greatest enemy of my Yuan family. Dugu Zhen is indeed a very scheming and cruel method."

Zhang Jin said anxiously: "Brother Yuan, you have to calm down. This matter may not be the wish of the Dugu family. If you hate Dugu, you will truly fulfill the will of the emperor. We must put the overall situation first."

"The big picture? I don't know where the big picture is?"

Yuanshou said coldly: "Brother Putai, I am not a three-year-old child. I know the causes and consequences very well. I can't slap my left face because someone else gave me a slap in the face. I will face my right face again. My Yuan family is not that cheap. Brother Putai, thank you today. You go! I want to say a few words to my son."

Zhang Jin had no choice but to say goodbye and leave.

As soon as Zhang Jin left, Yuanshou immediately stood up and said to Yuan Shangwu: "Go to find your second brother, gather in the third brother's room, I have something to say to you."

Yuanshou walked quickly towards the room of Sanzi Yuanmin.

In the room, Yuanmin was lying on the bed and unable to move. He was insurance back by his father yesterday afternoon, and his thigh bones were broken. He had to lie on the bed for at least one year.

Yuan Min was teasing the two maids in a low voice. At this time, footsteps sounded. Yuanshou walked in, scared the two maids so much that they stood up quickly. Yuanshou nodded with a smile, "Thank you two, I will have a reward, you guys go down first!"

The two maids bowed and stepped down. Yuanshou sat in front of his son's bed and asked with a smile: "How is it? Is it better?"

"Yeah! It's no longer painful."

Yuan Min said with shame: "The child is useless. He was raped by Yang Yuanqing and implicated his father!"

The resignation of Yuanshou spread throughout the Yuan Mansion, and Yuanmin also knew about it. Yuanshou smiled, "It has nothing to do with your affairs. In fact, we have won your affairs, we are defeated by Dugu."

"Father, what should we do in the future?"

Yuanshou nodded, "Let's talk together when you two brothers come."

At this time, Yuan Shangwu and Yuan Shangjun walked in together, "Father!"

"You all sit down!"

Yuanshou asked his three sons to sit down, and he closed the door, and then said to them: "From the current situation, our Yuan family has escaped this disaster."

When Yuanshou saw that his eldest son was about to slip, he waved his hand to stop him, "I don't let the slip when I speak!"

Yuan Shangwu was so scared that he lowered his head and said, "Although I lost my official position, it doesn't matter. I voluntarily resigned, and my reputation and title were saved. Although I will not be an official, I am still the leader of the Guanlong nobles."

Yuanshou glanced at his three sons and said slowly: "You must remember your identities. You are the royal family of the Northern Wei Dynasty, the descendants of Emperor Xiaowen, and you are not slaves of the Yang family."

"My father controls the food in the capital, is he really thinking...?" Yuan Shangwu heard what his father meant.

Yuanshou shook his head, "I will remember this grudge when the grain shop was framed by Dugu. But after today's incident, I have figured it out. If you want to avoid being treated as a dog, you have to find a way to be a human being. Wasn't Yang Guang's grandfather Yang Zhong also a dog of our Yuan family?"

"But my father, the Yang family's country has settled down."

"fart!"

Yuanshou angrily scolded his son, "The country is not owned by the Yang family. How did Yang Jian gain the country? Without the support of my Yuan family and the support of the Guanlong nobles, could Yang Jian succeed in usurping the throne? Fortunately, Yang Jian knew that half of this country belonged to the Guanlong nobles, so he did not dare to touch our interests. Even if he moved the capital, he would not dare to leave Guanzhong. However, Yang Guang was a bastard. He forgot his father's promise back then. If he wanted to destroy our Guanlong nobles, he would definitely suffer the consequences."

Yuanshou whispered to his three sons: "Now the army is still in the hands of our Guanlong nobles. Once he forgets and wants to attack the army, it is the arrival of chaos in the world. Our opportunity will come. Our Yuan family has strength and must restore the glory of the Tuoba clan. One of you three brothers will definitely be the lord of the world."

Yuan Shangwu's eyes lit up. He was the eldest son, and the only lord of the world was him. Yuan Min also felt a little desire in his heart, and he also wanted to be the lord of the world.

"What we need to do now is to keep a low profile and wait!"

Zhang Jin returned to his mansion and sat in the study. He was also restless. He had been paying attention to the affairs of the Yuan family these two days. When the affairs of the Yuan family faded, he unexpectedly discovered that a crisis was quietly appearing around him.

This morning, when Emperor Yang Guang talked about the canal, he mentioned the name Zhang Xin in Pengcheng County. Zhang Xin was his clan brother, but he was not dealt with as severely as Yang Guang said. He had just received a letter from Kuaishou, but was transferred from Pengcheng County, demoted to Liang County Magistrate.

Zhang Jin was a little confused now. He didn't know whether it was an accident or whether Yang Guang was preparing to attack him. Jun's heart was unpredictable. Just as he did not expect that Yang Guang would appoint Dugu Zhen as the Inner Shi Ling to take over the cabinet. With an extremely clever move, he successfully separated the Dugu family and Yuan family. Yang Guang's methods were really elusive.

Thinking of this, Zhang Jin became a little uneasy, and he quickly whispered: "Go and call Changsun!"

Zhang Jin had five sons. Except for the youngest son who served as the Left Guard, who stayed by his side, the other four sons were all officials outside, three Yingyanglang generals and one prefect, and the prefect was the eldest son Zhang Yunyi.

After a moment, Changsun Zhang Qi walked in, bowed and said, "Did your grandfather look for me?"

Zhang Qi was about 23 or 24 years old and was also a preparatory person in Qianniu in the palace. He was quite smart and capable, and had a very strong martial arts skills. Zhang Jin smiled and said, "How long can you take a leave for the longest time?"

"Report to my grandfather, it's up to one month."

Zhang Jin nodded, "Okay, you can just take a month off, go to Jiangdu, find your father, I have a letter to him."

Zhang Jin ordered his grandson and got up and put on a robe. He wanted to find his clan brother Zhang Heng, who was also a censor and was trusted by Yang Guang. Perhaps he could know some inside information.

In the evening, Yang Yuanqing's carriage drove into Xiuwenfang. He went to Yang Lihua's mansion. Pei Minqiu had already decided to meet the queen. The day after tomorrow, Yang Yuanqing was a little worried that Empress Xiao would make things difficult for his wife because of the King of Qi, so they went to find Yang Lihua.

In the carriage, Pei Minqiu looked sad and kept bowing her head and silent. Her husband had only been back for a few days and was about to leave in three days, which made her feel a little sad.

Yang Yuanqing hugged his wife and whispered to her, "This time I was just a business trip, not a war, I will come back at most one or two months. I can promise you that I will definitely come back for the New Year."

Pei Minqiu sighed secretly. Although she felt sad, she could not drag her husband down. This was official business after all.

She forced herself to smile and said, "I feel a little sad, but you don't have to take it to heart. Go to Jianghuai with peace of mind and do things well."

At this time, Pei Minqiu thought of something again and told him: "Also, if you want to see your aunt, it is best to go to Yingzhou first, visit your uncle, then pay homage to your mother, and then leave some money for your uncle. I can listen to you in the capital and not see your father, but at least you should be careful about family affection and not be told by the world that you are unfilial."

Yang Yuanqing nodded silently, Pei Minqiu hesitated for a moment. Although it was difficult to say it, she still wanted to say, "I still have the opportunity to bring her back! I think I can accept her."
