Yuan Tan, the new Chief Sima, will soon marry Zhen Mi, the fifth young lady of the Zhen family.

Although the former Yuan Xi was not considered an outstanding person, he was not a man who killed his father and mother.

After the bloody night in Yecheng, rumors spread throughout Hebei, saying that Yuan Shao's death and Yuan Tan had an inescapable responsibility.It was even rumored that Yuan Shao was killed by Yuan Tan himself.

Even though Tian Feng and others tried their best to defend Yuan Tan and clarify these rumors.

But after all, there were so many soldiers who saw Yuan Tan's killing of Liu Shi in public, and they spread it to ten, ten to hundreds, and the more they tried to block it, the more they sat down and realized that there was something strange in their hearts.

Although the Zhen family is afraid of the Yuan family, it is impossible to sit back and watch their daughter marry an unfaithful and unfilial person.

That's why Zhen Kuan went south to ask for help.

Mi Zhu didn't say anything after hearing Zhen Kuan's situation.

As a close minister of Cao Anmin, the first thing he should do is to protect Cao Anmin and the interests of Xuzhou.Besides, I am in charge of the Bureau of Commerce and Trade, so whether to fight or not is not under my control.

"Brother Zhen, you and I are both businessmen, so I won't go around in circles. I just ask you, if my lord protects you, what will my lord get?"

Zhen Kuan didn't expect Mi Zhu's questioning to be so straightforward, and he froze there.

Yes, businessmen are profitless people.

I begged Cao Anmin to help me. Who is Cao Anmin? He is the overlord of the five northern states, a generation of heroes who surpassed Yuan Shao.

It would be very difficult to seek help from him without showing sincerity.

"My Zhen family is willing to serve the former general."

Mi Zhu was taken aback for a moment, then laughed out loud.

Amidst his laughter, Zhen Kuan became more and more unconfident.

"Brother Zhen, I'm not joking. If I go out now and shout to the outside, who will be loyal to my Lord? I can guarantee that 99 out of a hundred people will rush forward to promise me. Haha, say To be honest, my lord does not lack loyalty.”

Zhen Kuan naturally knows that loyalty is extremely cheap in this era, and if he can impress Cao Anmin, he may feel that his world view is distorted.

"Brother Zizhong, why don't you teach me!"

This is what Mi Zhu was waiting for.

"It's very simple, marriage."

"Marriage?" Zhen Kuan stood up abruptly, looking at Mi Zhu in front of him with a look of fear in his eyes.

"That's right! I've heard that the Fifth Miss of the Zhen family has an alluring appearance, and her talents and tenderness are the best in Hebei. Otherwise, the two sons of the Yuan family would not have wanted to marry him one after another. Brother Zhen wants to win my lord's love." Asylum, the only way is to marry my younger sister to my lord. With this kind of relationship, how can my lord not protect your Zhen family."

Zhen Kuan wanted to refute, but was at a loss for words for a while, and didn't know how to make an excuse.

What Mi Zhu said is true, marriage is indeed the most suitable way.Otherwise, with Mi Zhu's ability and talent, how could he secure his position as the director of the Bureau of Commerce and Trade and take charge of the fattest job in the world.

"But the former general already had five wives and concubines, so my sister can only be a concubine when she enters the mansion!"

Mi Zhu burst out laughing when he heard this.

Although they are not from aristocratic families, they are also giant businessmen who hold great power. It is no exaggeration to describe them as rich and powerful.Ordinary small households have three wives and four concubines, let alone a monarch like Cao Anmin who owns five states.

Not having the 72nd concubine of the Sixth Court of Sannomiya is already pretty good.

If the Cao family can replace the Liu family in the future, any wife and concubine can at least be a concubine, and the children born will be either princes or princesses.

What an honor, what an honor.

"Well, I've already said this, and it's up to Brother Zhen to decide whether he can do it or not. It's getting late, and I have something to do with me, so I'm sorry I can't accompany you." The smile on Mi Zhu's face slowly faded away as he spoke. Go, put on a posture of closing the door to see off the guests.

Zhen Kuan came here originally to seek a way out, if Mi Zhu's path was cut off, who else could he rely on in this unfamiliar place of Xuzhou?

My Zhen family is a small family, and being able to climb the big tree of the Cao family is indeed a matter of glory for the ancestors. Thinking of this, Zhen Kuan couldn't help but change his decision, grabbed Mi Zhu and said: "I am wrong, yes, yes, I Zhen The clan agrees to this marriage."

Chapter 515 Not the stupidest

A construction site in Yecheng was full of conscripted craftsmen, either moving stones or transporting wood, and the scene was very lively.

After the fire, the original Da Sima Mansion was dilapidated. In order to avoid bad luck, Yuan Tan ordered the recruitment of craftsmen and labor to build the palace.Now is the time when the farming is busy, so the recruitment of peasants has resulted in no one farming in the fields, and many crops are directly rotting in the land.In order to speed up the construction period, countless people were exhausted and died, and there was a lot of complaints and complaints among the people.

The palace was under construction, and there was news from the north that Yuan Xi had destroyed several counties.

Yuan Tan was furious and asked Yan Liang and Zhang Yun to mobilize troops to go out. Unfortunately, Yuan Shao's elite was exhausted early in the battle of Yecheng, and the recruits had not yet been replenished. He went out several times, and the results were dismal.In a fit of anger, Yuan Tan dismisses Yan Liang and uses veteran Han Meng as his commander to launch a counterattack against Zhending.

Han Meng has been idle in the mansion since Cao Anmin was angered by Yuan Shao after he escaped from Yecheng. After a few years, he was activated again. Everyone thought that Han Meng would make a difference, but they did not expect that in the battle of Guan County, the army led by Jintai directly He broke through Han Meng's camp and killed [-] Jizhou troops.In desperation, Han Meng led the remaining soldiers to surrender to Yuan Xi.

Han Meng's surrender was a devastating blow to Yuan Tanjun's morale.So far, Yuan Tan's offensive is completely gone, and he can only let Yuan Xi's clamor go.

Yuan Xi took advantage of the situation to control the land of Changshan and Zhongshan counties, and the soldiers pointed at Julu.

In Yuan Tan's temporary residence in Yecheng, Tian Feng and Ju Shou stood in the main hall and waited anxiously.

Reports of defeat from the front kept coming, and many aristocratic families in Julu turned their backs one after another. Zhang He was defeated again and again and retreated towards Guang'a.

"What the hell are you doing, my lord? You haven't come out for so long. Did you bring your message?" Tian Feng waited for half an hour, but Yuan Tan didn't come, and the nameless fire in his heart was burning.

"Tian Biejia, the lord hasn't got up yet, we have urged you several times." The servant's face was full of helplessness.

When Tian Feng heard this, his face was full of disappointment.

Who would have thought that the difference between before and after Yuan Tan ascended the throne could be so great.

At this moment, he suddenly thought of Liu He, the "Abandoned Emperor of the Han Dynasty" who was once abolished by the power minister Huo Guang in the former Han Dynasty.The two are about the same age, and the former has done thousands of ridiculous things in just [-] days after he ascended the throne.It was only half a month after the latter ascended the throne, but Jizhou was in chaos. If Tian Feng and the others hadn't strongly supported him, Jizhou might have fallen apart by now.

"Brother Yuan Hao, are we?" In the past few days, Yuan Tan's every move has been in their eyes. To be honest, Ju Shou has completely given up.

How powerful the Yuan clan used to be.

In the land of the four states, there are millions of armored soldiers and thousands of generals. At one time, they are powerful and prestige, and they can swallow the world like tigers.Unexpectedly, Li Yang's battle turned into a mirage.

I thought that Yuan Tan could still make a difference and regain his strength, but he didn't expect that everything was just a daydream.

"Where is the buyer?"

Ju Shou's face changed slightly when he heard the words, and his eyes looked at Tian Feng in astonishment.

Yuan Mai is Yuan Shao's youngest son and the only son who did not participate in the seizure of the heir apparent. It is precisely because he is less threatening that Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi did not arouse hatred and attacks from Yuan Xi and others.

After Yuan Tan ascended the throne, he devoted all his energy to dealing with Yuan Xi, so he naturally had no time to think about Yuan Mai.

Now that Tian Feng suddenly mentioned him, it was by no means a casual remark.

Could it be that this friend who has been in the same robe for many years is planning to welcome a new king?
