Take a train to the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 83 The Yuan Family
early morning.

Enter Weiyang Palace.

Liu Hong, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, leaned against the dragon chair, ignoring the report of the minister who was holding a bamboo slip and chattering away. He closed his eyes slightly and peacefully enjoyed the massage from the maid next to him.

After a long time passed when the minister finished speaking in a mellow tone, Liu Hongfang yawned, waved his hand and said, "If you have nothing else to do, then leave the court!"

"I have something important to report: Is the appointment and transfer mentioned by the Holy Majesty too hasty? There are many talents from the fourth and third generations of the Yuan family, and their disciples are all over the world. It may cause dissatisfaction with the Yuan family, and may cause chaos, please think twice!"

"Who is this?" Liu Hong pointed at the speaker and asked.

All the civil and military officials felt a chill in their hearts: The Han Ling Emperor had been in power for nearly twenty years now, how could he not even remember the names of the ministers in the court? !
However, He Jin, who was close to Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, immediately came out to relieve the siege and said loudly: "Your Majesty, this is the minister Zhou Ao!"

Liu Hong suddenly realized, patted his head and said, "Oh, look at my memory, hey, I'm getting older!"

As soon as these words came out, all the officials of the imperial court were startled, and immediately fell to their knees, shouting in unison as if they had a heart: "The Holy One will last forever, forever and ever!"

"Okay, okay!" Liu Hong was very happy to hear that, so he gave the order: "Then the one just now, yes, the one named Zhou Ao, let him be demoted to a higher level! Effective immediately!"

All the officials were startled. The Hanling Emperor Liu Hong made it clear that he wanted to deal with the Yuan family. Even the people who spoke for the Yuan family were demoted. What kind of big deal did the Yuan family do?
All the officials looked at each other in dismay, puzzled in their hearts, looking at Yuan Shao and others who were at the front of the court hall, they also had expressionless faces and couldn't see the depth clearly.

And Hanling Emperor Liu Hong also noticed Yuan Shao and the Yuan family, and asked, "Are you dissatisfied?"

The Yuan family immediately buried their heads: "I don't dare!"

"Then do you know why I demoted your official positions?" Liu Hong continued to smile.

"I don't know." The Yuan family's tone was full of innocence.

Liu Hong continued to smile, but his tone turned cold, and he said, "Okay then, let me tell you about an interesting thing I personally saw."

Next, Liu Hong described what happened to Yuan Xi.

When these words came out, the Yuan family broke out in cold sweat immediately, and some important ministers who were watching were also angry and said: "Rebellious ministers, rebellious ministers, my lord, I suggest that Yuan Xi's whole family should be executed, so as to be dignified by the righteous sages!"

"My minister agrees!"

It was a group of people from the eunuch faction who spoke out. If the Yuan family of four generations and three princes fell, Zhang Rang and others would gain the most. Therefore, under Zhang Rang and Duan Gui's signal, everyone denounced the Yuan family together.

"enough!"

Liu Hong, who felt his ears were dirty, roared angrily, and finally everything fell silent.

"I am a nostalgic person. The four generations and three princes of the Yuan family have contributed so much to the court. How can I have the heart to kill them all?"

"You are putting me in an unkind and unjust position!"

Liu Hong said in an eloquent voice, like a benevolent king who conquers others with virtue, but there is a sneer on his face, which makes people break out in a cold sweat.

The Han Lingdi, who suddenly became incomprehensible to the ministers of the court, also made them alert. Some things seemed to be out of bounds!

"I dare not wait!"

"Then let's do it!" Liu Hong said, "As for how the Yuan family will deal with it, it all depends on their sincerity."

"Retreat!"
-
the next day.

"What do you mean by the sincerity that the emperor said?" An official asked the people who went to the court together, "I have been thinking about it for a whole day, but I still haven't figured it out!"

"I thought about it for a long time and didn't understand it, but I understood everything after I learned about Yuan's family's actions this morning. Do you know what they did?"

"What did they do?" The official immediately followed his words and continued to ask.

"According to the report from the informant I sent out, last night, ten carriages of gold, silver and jewelry were loaded into Yuan's house and transported to the palace."

"So it is!" said the man suddenly realized.

Sure enough, the early court announced the result of Yuan Xi's punishment: Yuan Xi was dismissed from all official positions and would not be allowed to be an official for life.

This was basically Yuan Xi's previous disposition. The most likely capital crime found a way out with money opening the way.The other more important thing is that the official positions of Yuan Shao and others have been preserved, and they have not been lowered.It's just that the rest of the Yuan family is still the same.

In any case, after this incident, the Yuan family suffered a big loss, and even the power was faintly surpassed from the first family of the imperial court by the Hongnong Yang family and the Yingchuan Yan family.

But these are no longer Lin Xun's business.

Lin Xun is still consolidating his newly broken-through Great Witch Realm. Although he won the battle with Zhao Yun, it was indeed the precondition that Zhao Yun could not attack and let him brew up witchcraft in advance to win. From the battle, Lin Xun I also found that although the magic bricks rewarded by the system are very buggy, there are many restrictions. The bricks must hit people and have a dizzy effect on the head. Otherwise, hitting other places may even damage the opponent's armor. not broken.

Therefore, it is necessary to improve his actual combat effectiveness.

Reaching the realm of great witches is definitely considered to have stepped out of the novice stage of Dharma cultivators. At this time, the power of witchcraft is revealed.

The road is long and long, and Lin Xun still has a long way to go.

Withdrew from the state of closing his eyes and cultivating mental strength, Lin Xun let out a sigh of relief.As if suddenly remembering something, he took out a small book from his pocket.Zhang Jiao gave it to him, because Lin Xun couldn't read the content of this book at all in the realm of the little witch, so he kept it hidden on his body and never practiced it. Now that Lin Xun has reached the realm of the great witch, he also wants to try the realm of the great witch. I can't see clearly what is written in this extraordinary book of Taiping essentials.

However, as soon as he opened the book and wanted to read it, the important art of peace turned into a little dust, and the flying ash disappeared. At the same time, a systematic electronic voice sounded in Lin Xun's mind:

"Warning, warning, major virus detected."

"The virus is being crushed."

"Virus processing is complete!"

Lin Xun looked at his palm. It turned out to be a strange book, but it was treated as a virus by the system!

"System, I want an explanation!" Lin Xun said angrily.

"can."

The cold electronic sound of the system came over.

"This book is a pirated version of Taiping Essentials, and the witchcraft recorded is an inferior method that exhausts vitality!"

"If the host practices the witchcraft described in this book, it is estimated that he will not live for five years!"

"Hiss!" Lin Xun gasped. This book of witchcraft practice, which was originally a legend, turned out to be a pirated version, and it was still such a sinister and vicious method!
Lin Xun couldn't help thinking of what Zhang Jiao had said when he gave this book to him: This book is for reference only, don't practice.

"So, what happened to Zhang Jiao who practiced the book now?" Lin Xun couldn't help but worry.
