Han Dao world

Yuan Shao was speechless.

In fact, he has also thought about these issues these days, and his conclusion is similar to that of Shi Sunrui, but he is unwilling to face it and has no chance to face it.

What he thinks now is whether he should live and be humiliated, or should he be ruined.

Whether it was life or death, he did not seem to be spared.

The words Yuan Shu said echoed in his ears all the time, waking him up again and again from his sleep, and then he kept his eyes open until dawn.

"Junrong, what should I do?" Two lines of turbid tears welled up, and Yuan Shao couldn't make a sound. "what do I do?"

"I don't know." Shi Sunrui sighed, "I sympathize with you, but I can't help you. You can only face all this by yourself."

"What should I do..." Yuan Shao cried bitterly.

Sun Rui was silent for a moment. "I don't know what you should do. But I think you should think about what to do with Xiansi. He is not you, and he still has the opportunity to choose. If he can succeed, we are not considered a failure."

Yuan Shao held back his tears, and turned his head to look at Shi Sun Rui.

Shi Sun Rui nodded solemnly.

"He... still has a chance to choose?"

"I believe there is."

"Go to the Western Regions? Self-exile for thousands of miles?"

"The Western Regions are not equal to exile." Shi Sun Rui said: "Don't forget, Shun exiled Dan Zhu to Yuzhang, and Qin Zheng exiled Lu Buwei to Shu County. Now Yuzhang and Shu County are rich and prosperous. After a hundred years, How do you know that the Western Regions cannot be as well-dressed and civilized as the Central Plains?"

Yuan Shao looked at Sun Rui in surprise.

Shi Sunrui's eyes were very firm, without any hesitation, it was obvious that he had made a decision long ago, and he was confident of success.

"Then... what can I do for Xiansi?"

"Take all the responsibilities, make him his heir, and let him set off with ease."

Chapter 792

The corner of Yuan Shao's mouth raised a self-deprecating smile.

"Jun Rong, forgive me for not being able to follow my orders. As a father, I don't want Xiansi to go to the Western Regions. Thousands of miles away, the climate is different, and life and death are unpredictable. Even if the soil is broken and the border is sealed, after a hundred years, the soul will not return to the hometown, and will end up as a wild man. ghost."

He shook his head. "The Confucian school is full of talented people, so there is no need to show off your thoughts."

"At the beginning..."

Yuan Shao turned around, turned his back to Shi Sun Rui, and closed his eyes.

Seeing this, Sun Rui shook his head helplessly, got up and got out of the carriage.

Yuan Tan and the others looked over, and seeing Shi Sun Rui wryly smile, they couldn't help sighing in unison.

Even Shi Sun Rui couldn't persuade Yuan Shao, they couldn't think of anyone else with such ability.

Guo Tu was annoyed, and cursed: "Yuan Gonggong did not succeed enough, but failed."

Everyone was silent and did not answer Guo Tu's topic, but they all felt concerned.

Yuan Tan's face turned pale and was full of worry.

If it wasn't for Yuan Shu's reckless actions that made Yuan Shao lose face, how could they have ended up in such a situation.

How the imperial court will deal with Yuan Shao has become a sword hanging over their heads, which will fall at any time and cut off all their hopes.

Seeing this, Shi Sunrui had no choice but to persuade: "Don't worry, the emperor is a wise man. There are many sages among the ministers, and they will never be arrogant. If you are free, you might as well make more preparations. The more fully prepared you are, the more you are prepared. , the greater the hope of success in the future.”

Xun Chen nodded in agreement, but Guo Tu sighed repeatedly and winked at Yuan Tan.

Yuan Tan understood, and cupped his hands to Shisun Rui: "Grandpa, my father is tired and can't travel long distances, can you rest in Taiyuan for a few days and ask a doctor to recuperate your body?"

Sun Rui nodded. "You don't have to go to Taiyuan, just stay in my camp. There are good doctors in my camp. They are good doctors trained by the Imperial Medical Office, and they are the best at this."

Yuan Tan was relieved and thanked again and again.

-

Shi Sunrui took Yuan Shao to his camp, arranged for him to live, and asked a doctor to diagnose his pulse and prepare a decoction.

But even the outstanding graduates of the imperial medical department can only cure Yuan Shao's physical illnesses, but cannot cure his mental illnesses.

He was still taciturn, with a haggard look, which made people feel helpless.

Until Mrs. Yuan arrived in Taiyuan.

Knowing that Mrs. Yuan was coming, Yuan Tan was both surprised and happy, but Guo Tu and Xun Chen were a little nervous, wondering if they should let her see Yuan Shao.

Although Mrs. Yuan is not as reckless as Yuan Shu, she is not a good person, she has a very tough temper.It is unrealistic to expect her and Yuan Shao to have a good talk. What if the two disagree and Mrs. Yuan speaks rudely and then forces Yuan Shao to death?

Under the entanglement, it was Shi Sun Rui who made up his mind.

Mrs. Yuan traveled thousands of miles and came here from Guanzhong, it was impossible for her to scold Yuan Shao.She may not have been the one who asked Yuan Shu to persuade Yuan Shao to surrender, but she was the one who sent the letter in her name.It's perfect for her to solve this matter.

Guo Tu and others had no choice but to listen to Shi Sun Rui's suggestion, and Yuan Tan came forward to take Mrs. Yuan into the camp.

Seeing the haggard Yuan Tan, Mrs. Yuan sighed and felt sorry for her.

When Yuan Shao pursued his mother's funeral, Mrs. Yuan was not yet married. She used to play with her young Yuan Tan.

In a flash, Yuan Tan was nearly [-] years old, but being dragged into such a state by Yuan Shao made her angry and unbearable.

"How is he?" Madam Yuan cut to the chase.

Yuan Tan bowed his hands and saluted. "Mengshi Sungong took care of him and sent good medicine in the camp. His health is still good, but his heart disease is difficult to cure."

Hearing that Yuan Shao was not dead, Madam Yuan's heart fell to the ground, and she sneered, "What kind of heart disease is difficult to cure, but she doesn't want to take responsibility and wants to get out."

Yuan Tan looked embarrassed, not daring to answer Mrs. Yuan's words.

They all knew what Yuan Shao was thinking, but no one dared to say it, and only Mrs. Yuan could speak out.

"do you have any plans?"

Yuan Tan then stated his thoughts.This was a plan he discussed with Guo Tu and Xun Chen, and he also received strong support from Shi Sun Rui and others, but whether it can be carried out depends on whether the emperor will give him this opportunity.

The only person who can speak for him in front of the emperor is Yang Biao.

Madam Yuan shook her head after listening. "Xiansi, I am very pleased that you have high ambitions, but the expedition of thousands of miles is not as simple as you think. With all due respect, you are not ready yet."

"Also ask my aunt for advice."

Madam Yuan sized Yuan Tan up. "You lived in Shisun Junrong's camp for a few days, how do you think his subordinates are trained, can you bear it?"

Yuan Tan thought about it carefully, and said with uncertainty: "It should be possible."

Madam Yuan pouted. "Hearing that you are so unconfident, I know you can't do it. I might as well tell you that although Shi Sunjunrong trains soldiers with all his heart, he is still far behind the emperor. I don't understand the matter of military training, and I can't give it to you. What is your suggestion? If you have a chance, talk to Zimei and ask him how the wolf rider trains, and you will know the difference."

Yuan Tan's heart darkened, and he nodded helplessly.

During this period of time, he has been supported by his meritorious service in the Western Regions. As a result, Mrs. Yuan poured cold water on his head, and he suddenly felt disillusioned. He only felt that the future was dark and there was no hope in sight.

"How is Xian Yi?"

Yuan Tan was shocked, pulled himself together, and replied, "Should still be in Qingzhou, I haven't heard from him for a long time."

"You guys, what kind of father and son brothers?" Madam Yuan sighed.

-

After entering Shisun Rui's camp, Mrs. Yuan didn't rest, and went directly to Yuan Shao's residence.

Yuan Shao lay on the bed, motionless.

Madam Yuan stood in front of the bed, looked at Yuan Shao with disdain.She waved her hand, telling Yuan Tan and others to go out and stand far away.

Yuan Tan didn't dare to be negligent, and retreated, even the two maids serving Yuan Shao left, leaving only Yuan Shao lying stiff and Madam Yuan standing in front of the bed.

"At the beginning, you have been pretending for the rest of your life, how long are you going to pretend?" Madam Yuan said in a flat tone.

Yuan Shao shook his body, as if he wanted to turn around, but he held back.

"If you are really disheartened and don't want to see anyone, you might as well go back to Runan to guard the tomb. Guandong Taiping, I'm planning to bury my uncle, father, and elder brother in Runan. You guard the tomb for them, shut the door and reflect on yourself. In the future, it may be possible to bury it in the ancestral tomb, so as not to be a lonely ghost."

Yuan Shao's breath became thicker, he turned around slowly, sat up, looked at Madam Yuan, his face was pale.

"If so, I will die without regret."

"But I have one request."

"You said."

"Pass the letter to Xianyi, tell him not to engage in unnecessary disputes." Madam Yuan's tone became severe. "If the judge refuses to surrender, your wives, concubines, and children in Yecheng will be in danger. Xiansi is not to your liking, and all you can count on is Xianyi. You don't want to die alone, and you will die one after another in the future." There are none."

Yuan Shao's heart tightened. "The imperial court wants to storm Yecheng?"

"Unless you can order the judge to surrender." Madam Yuan snorted, "Can you do that?"

Yuan Shao's face turned red and white. "I... can try."

"Then it's settled." Madam Yuan turned around and left.

Yuan Shao subconsciously raised his hand and let out an "ah".

Madam Yuan stopped and turned to look at him with mocking eyes.

Yuan Shao was ashamed by Mrs. Yuan's eyes, he couldn't say anything, and finally he could only choke out a few words.

"Slow... go, don't send!"

Chapter 793

Madam Yuan went out, covered her nose, and said to Yuan Tan who was guarding the door: "Let him come out more to bask in the sun, he's going to die."

Yuan Tan waved for the maids to rush in to serve, while walking forward with Madam Yuan.

"Auntie, he... agreed?"

"He will write letters to the judge, and he will also write to Xianyi. Xianyi should be fine, but I'm not sure if the judge will be downgraded. Xiansi, do you think the judge will be downgraded?"

Yuan Tan pondered for a while. "It will drop, but he will definitely raise conditions."

"A condition?" Madam Yuan sneered, "Then he can only wait to die."

She paused and sighed again. "It's not a pity for him to die. Your siblings are still young, so it's a pity to die like this. The Yuan family was robbed first, and more than fifty people died of accidents. There are only a few people left in the line of Duke Zhonghe. Jie, it’s true that misfortunes never come singly. Xiansi, who can persuade the judge to surrender?”

Yuan Tan thought about it carefully. "Perhaps we can ask Mr. Ju to give it a try."

"You arrange it, I want to see him."

-

Jushou was a little surprised.

Mrs. Yuan didn't see Guo Tu, Xun Chen, or Sun Rui and others, but she wanted to see him.

After hearing Yuan Tan explain the whole story, he smiled wryly and said, "General Yuan, you overestimated me. The matter has come to this point, not to mention me, even Tian Yuanhao can't influence the trial of Zhengnan."

He was taken aback suddenly, and stared at Yuan Tan twice.

Yuan Tan was puzzled. "Ju Jun?"

"I understand why Shenzhengnan is trapped in Yecheng." Ju Shou stood up. "General, please lead the way. I'm going to meet Mrs. Yuan."

Yuan Tan was puzzled, but he still brought Jushou to Madam Yuan.

After the ceremony was over, Ju Shou got to the point. "Madam is from a noble family and is the wife of Duke Yang, so she must know the story of the beginning of this dynasty?"

Madam Yuan nodded slightly. "Know a little."

"Then you should also know why Shen Zhengnan refused to surrender even though he knew he was invincible."

Madam Yuan's eyebrows moved slightly. "What do you mean..." She couldn't help laughing, feeling incredible.

Ju Shou didn't smile, but became more serious.

Madam Yuan laughed twice, but stopped laughing, and her complexion became more and more ugly.

She understood what Jushou meant.

It wasn't she who was looking for Jushou, but the judge was looking for her.Shen Pei held Yuan Shao's wife and children hostage, just waiting for her to come to negotiate.

As far as the judge is concerned, only she has the ability to change the emperor's decision. To be precise, only her husband Yang Biao.

"Ju Jun, he may think highly of me and my husband." Madam Yuan said coldly, "No one can influence the emperor's decision, no one. If he insists on his own way, he will die without a place to die. "
