Three Kingdoms: Stealing the Tiger Talisman and forcing Yuan Shao to become a monk

Chapter 333 Night Talk, Farewell to the Mansion, Yu Fan's Pursuit

"I didn't expect Mr. Zhongxiang to be so... polite."

That night, in Qi Hou's residence, Yuan Tan sighed while looking at the memorials sent by Xun Yu, Chen Deng and others.

Xun Yu smiled and said:
"Does the Lord still hope that Yu Zhongxiang and the lord will quarrel?"

Yuan Tan laughed dumbfounded when he heard the words, waved his hands, and wanted to explain a few words, but he didn't continue.

Xun Yu is not a descendant, so naturally he doesn't know how strange this Yu Fan's character in the official history is.

To put it simply, this is the kind of Wei Zheng-style character. In official history, Yu Fan first took refuge in Sun Ce, and after Sun Ce died, he assisted Sun Quan.

The thing he is best at is direct remonstrance.

And he's not like Wei Zheng, Wei Zheng at least knows allegories, but Yu Fan doesn't. In other words, his character makes him too lazy to use allegories to persuade the lord.

It is often one thing to say one thing, and another thing to say two things. Since you have made a mistake, I, as your courtier, will point it out.

Such a character can be imagined. When Sun Ce was still alive, Sun Ce, who had a carefree personality, could still tolerate Yu Fan's advice.

But after the narrow-minded Sun Quan succeeded to the throne, Yu Fan was in serious trouble.

He was exiled to Jiaozhou and Cangwu successively, and finally died of old age directly in the land of Cangwu.

Empty with talents, but a lifetime wasted, people can't help but sigh when thinking about it.

"Mr. Zhongxiang has an upright personality. Logically speaking, he should be a doctor in the Ministry of officials. Why does the lord pay you with the position of don't care?"

Seeing that Yuan Tan didn't say anything, Xun Yu didn't ask any more questions. Instead, he brought up another topic and asked curiously.

Yu Fan's uprightness was already famous in Jiangzuo when he was under Wang Lang's command.

After Wang Lang was defeated by Sun Ce, he went north to join Cao Cao, and even Yu Fan's fame began to spread in the Central Plains, and Xun Yu also knew about it.

When I met Yu Fan today, Xun Yu and others also came to accompany him. After all, the official position Yuan Tan appointed Yu Fan was not in Xuzhou.

Now that Xuzhou has Yuan Tan, the marquis of Qi, sitting in the town, naturally there will be no other state shepherd. Xuzhou, the second person under this state shepherd, don't drive.

Its power can be imagined. To put it bluntly, as long as Yuan Tan is willing to delegate power, Yu Fan can participate in all aspects of Xuzhou's affairs.

Xun Yu and the others naturally had to meet each other.

It's just the first time we met, although we haven't talked for too long, but for people like Xun Yu and Chen Deng who are extremely intelligent.

A few words can feel a person's character and character.

Naturally, he would feel puzzled about Yu Fan's appointment.

Such an upright person is perfect for monitoring officials big and small in Xuzhou.

Hearing Xun Yu's question, Yuan Tan smiled wryly, shook his head and said:

"Wen Ruo, now that Xuzhou has made a preliminary decision, instead of using heavy punishments to scare everyone, it is better to use light punishments and heavy punishments to convince everyone. After Xuzhou is revived, it will not be too late to use heavy punishments to deter everyone."

Hearing Yuan Tan's words, Xun Yu was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly woke up, looking at Yuan Tan with more admiration:
"Your Majesty's words are very true, but I didn't think about it."

The meaning of Yuan Tan's words is very simple.

At present, Xuzhou has just been recovered not long ago, and the officials who serve, no matter how big or small, are not the old people from Cao Cao's side.

They are the new scholars who have just come to Xuzhou. These people are not very familiar with all aspects of Xuzhou's affairs, and mistakes are very common.

Therefore, as long as it is not a matter of principle of corruption, bribery or oppression, Chen Deng, as a doctor of the Ministry of officials, will turn a blind eye and close one eye, and a small punishment will pass.

But what if it was Yu Fan instead?

With his character, he will definitely implement it strictly according to the laws and regulations, and the consequences of this will be.

After two or three months, there will be no officials available in Xuzhou.

"Compared to this, this Mr. Zhongxiang did not defect to Sun Ce, but actually defected to me because of Ziyu's letter, which makes me a little curious."

Yuan Tan shook his head, driving these distracting thoughts out of his mind.

Anyway, Yu Fan has already made it clear that he has taken over the position of Xuzhou Biejia.

With Yu Fan's personality, he definitely can't do anything like pretending to be a real spy. Since he calls himself a prince, his loyalty is absolutely reliable.

As for the reason, after getting in touch with it slowly, you will naturally know.

At this time, the Biejia Mansion in Xuzhou had been vacant for several months.

With Yu Fan's arrival, there was finally a bit of fireworks.

Xuzhou, the new official, is sitting and drinking tea with his friend who has been away for more than a month, Zhuge Jin, one of the three carriages under Xuzhou Qihou's command.

As a descendant, Yuan Tan not only knew Yu Fan's character, but also Yu Fan's fate in official history. Even so, he felt a little strange that Yu Fan joined him.

Then, Zhuge Jin, who is purely a friend of Yu Fan, is naturally quite curious.

Why did Yu Fan directly join Yuan Tan's command?

He and Yu Fannai have known each other for many years, so naturally there is no restraint, and he immediately asked his question.

Hearing his friend's doubts, Yu Fan smiled, put down the wine cup in his hand, and said lightly:

"I said, I came to seek refuge because I thought that Qi Hou could bring peace to the world. Tzuyu is trustworthy?"

Zhuge Jin was taken aback when he heard the words.

Although he took refuge under Yuan Tan's command, he naturally believed in Yuan Tan's ability and was impressed by Yuan Tan's courage.

But if Yuan Tan could really unify the world, wouldn't it be...too early?

Yu Fan glanced at the stunned Zhuge Jin, smiled, and didn't say anything more, just continued to drink a glass of wine.

Seeing that Yu Fan didn't want to say more, Zhuge Jin didn't ask any more questions. He knew the temperament of his friend.

If he doesn't want to speak, no one in the world can force him to speak.

After drinking a few more glasses of wine, Zhuge Jin got up to leave, and before leaving, she told Yu Fan a few more words, that she must be cautious when she is new here.

He was really worried about his friend's nasty temper, in case he caused any trouble here.

He, Zhuge Jin, really couldn't bear it.

Yu Fan smiled and sent his friend out of the house, repeatedly expressing that he knew.

After returning to the mansion, Yu Fan calmed down and sat back in front of his desk.

If Zhuge Jin was here, he would definitely be surprised.

Because, the desk in front of Yu Fan was actually filled with slips, densely packed, with fresh ink marks, as if they were just written.

The contents described are all what Yu Fan saw and heard in Xuzhou this month!
Promoting agriculture and mulberry, emphasizing people's strength, recruiting refugees, dividing troops...

Yu Fan's eyes swept over the words of the letter one by one, and finally stopped at the last place.

There is a big circle drawn in Jiangzuoyuan.

"Xuzhou armor? Water hammer transfer?"

As an outsider, Yu Fan came to Xuzhou earlier than Zhugejin imagined, and even observed in Xuzhou for a whole month before coming to meet Yuan Tan in full dress.

As for Jiang Zuoyuan, I also heard a thing or two.

If it were someone else, those gossips might be forgotten.

But for Yu Fan, these rumors alone are enough to deduce a lot of information!

For example, Yuan Tan, Marquis of Qi, attaches great importance to craftsmen, or in other words, the skills of farming and engineering.

Far beyond the imagination of the world!
The foundation of the kingly way should come from farmers and workers, not from scholars.

Yu Fan slowly picked up the pen, wrote this sentence at the end of these letters, and nodded slightly.

Yu Fan is a typical disciple of Confucianism. The scripture he studied is called Yi.

The pursuit is peace in the world.

Looking at the princes of the world, there is no one other than Yuan Tan who really gives Yu Fan hope.

"I was born in troubled times, and I am so lucky to meet such a wise king?"

Yu Fan sighed in a low voice, summoned his followers, and ordered lightly:

"Burn all these scrolls, don't keep them."

Then, he went back to the bedroom, ready to take a good rest, so that in the future, he would do his best for the Mingjun in his mind.

……

And just when Yu Fan spent half his life thinking about himself, he finally met Mingjun and fell asleep happily.

Jingnan, who is also in the Han Dynasty, is also an outstanding figure among scholars.

Fan Tinghou Kuai Yue's mood was much worse.
