"I am already like this, why do you have to force me so hard, can't you let me die quietly?"

Madam Yuan nodded, turned and walked out.Standing at the door, she stopped in her tracks, but did not turn her head. Her face was illuminated by the slanting sunlight, and her eyes showed a strange look.

"I've always felt that Gonglu is not as good as you, but now it seems that you are not as good as Gonglu. It is really wise for your late father to dislike you and not give you the title of mother."

After finishing speaking, Madam Yuan went out and left without looking back.

Yuan Shao's chest was tight, his throat was sweet, and another mouthful of blood spewed out.

Being told by Madam Yuan that he is inferior to Yuan Shu is the greatest humiliation he has ever suffered in his life.Involving his biological mother made him even more ashamed.

It was his uncle Yuan Kai who insisted on choosing him to inherit Yuan Cheng's bloodline, but his biological father Yuan Feng actually disapproved.Yuan Feng had always disliked him and refused to give his biological mother the title he deserved, so that he was despised by Yuan Shu all his life.

But if Yuan Feng is willing to let his biological mother be his wife, why is this so.

Moreover, although Mrs. Yuan said she was tyrannical, she was a daughter of an aristocratic family after all, so she would never say such heartless words unless she was extremely disappointed in him.

If Madam Yuan refuses to help him anymore, who else can help him?

Yuan Shao was so upset that he vomited a few mouthfuls of blood again.When Yuan Tan felt that the voice was wrong and rushed in, he was already lying in the blood, dying.

Yuan Tan was shocked and called out to the doctor repeatedly.

Guo Tu, Xun Chen and others rushed over after hearing the news, and they were also confused when they saw this scene.

Knowing that what happened after Mrs. Yuan came, Xun Chen hurriedly came to see Mrs. Yuan and asked what happened.

Knowing that Yuan Shao vomited blood again and became unconscious, Mrs. Yuan also felt a little regretful.She didn't explain to Xun Chen either, so she could only vaguely say a few words, and finally said:

"Since Benchu ​​is seriously ill, don't delay, and see you as soon as possible. If you don't hide from Benchu, and you want to return to your hometown, it will be difficult to see the emperor."

Xun Chen also had similar worries, so he took advantage of the situation and said, "Can I ask my wife to introduce you?"

"Why don't you go to see the Son of Heaven directly? Instead, let me be a woman?" Madam Yuan asked back.

Xun Chen said with a wry smile: "Madam doesn't know something. Last time I went to Chang'an, I wanted to see you, but was rejected by the emperor, and the nobleman was also involved. Although Madam is a woman, she is bold and does not give way to men. With the respect of the emperor for women, Even if you don't have the face of your husband Yang Gong and your son Dezu, the emperor may see you more than me."

Mrs. Yuan was flattered by Xun Chen, but it was hard to refuse.

But she has no official position, so it is definitely inappropriate to rush to see the emperor. After thinking about it, she had to send someone to see Ma Yunlu and ask Ma Yunlu to speak.

Ma Yunlu was not a troublesome person at first, but she was escorting Yuan Quan to the east under the imperial edict, and formed a deep friendship with Yuan Quan.After she returned to Chang'an, the two kept in touch, and Yuan Quan sent her things and wrote letters every now and then.Now that Yuan Quan's aunt came to ask her, she couldn't refuse, so she had to bite the bullet and agree.

Finding an opportunity, she told Liu Xie about Yuan Shao's situation.

Liu Xie was not surprised to learn that Yuan Shao was so ill that he could not see him.

After all, Yuan Shao fell ill after being placed under house arrest by Yuan Tan, and has never been better.

With the current situation, Yuan Shao has no reason to get better.He didn't directly die of anger, Liu Xie was already very surprised.

In his opinion, Yuan Shao has absolutely no reason to live on. Wouldn't it be good to settle it once and for all?

Maybe it's really like what Xun Yu said, afraid of pain?

After a little consideration, Liu Xie decided to meet Mrs. Yuan and listen to her explain the reason.

Among other things, as Yang Biao's wife and Yang Xiu's biological mother, she still has to give her some face.

After receiving Ma Yunlu's news, Mrs. Yuan rushed to Ping Optimistic immediately.

Liu Xie met Yang Biao, Yang Xiu and his son countless times, but this was the first time he saw Mrs. Yuan.At the first glance, he saw the shadow of Yuan Quan from Madam Yuan.Not only are the two similar in appearance, but also in temperament. At a glance, they can tell that they are born noble, shrewd and powerful.

No wonder Yang Biao and his son were so tightly manipulated.

Chapter 811

Seeing the Son of Heaven sizing her up with a relaxed and natural expression, even a little casual, Madam Yuan felt somewhat displeased.

As the wife of Yang Biao, she has both the honors of the Runan Yuan family and the Hongnong Yang family. She was taught etiquette since she was a child, and she was not satisfied with the emperor's attitude.

Even though she came to beg for help, there was still a hint of unhappiness on her face.

Liu Xie keenly captured Madam Yuan's emotions and couldn't help smiling.

After all, this Mrs. Yuan was different from Yuan Quan. She was well protected and had never been beaten by the society. She died as a young girl.

Does she think I'm her junior?

"Madam, I don't know why?" Liu Xie didn't offer a seat, but said in a calm tone, holding a pen in his right hand, licking the pen on the inkstone leisurely, pressing the document on the case with his left hand, with a face of "I'm very busy." , If you have something to say, hurry up, and leave as soon as you finish speaking."

Seeing Liu Xie's expression, Mrs. Yuan immediately reacted, bowed and said, "This concubine is taking the liberty to ask for an audience, it is for the prefect of Bohai Sea, guarding Yuan Shao, the shepherd of Jizhou."

"Where is he?" Liu Xie asked casually as his eyes fell on the official document.

"Recover from illness in the post house."

Liu Xie frowned, approved a few words on the document, and called Zhuge Liang who was beside him to let him pass it on. Then he put down the pen, crossed his fingers, placed it on the case, and pondered for a moment.

"Ill? What kind of illness?"

Mrs. Yuan waited anxiously, but there was nothing she could do, she could only hold back her anger, nodded and said: "Your Majesty knows that, he thinks about the past day and night, and regrets the past, so his descriptions are useless, and he can't see you. Please forgive me."

"Reminiscing about the past..." Liu Xie raised his eyelids, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly. "really?"

Madam Yuan's expression was solemn, and she said seriously: "In front of Your Majesty, how dare this concubine speak nonsense."

Liu Xie nodded. "Knowing mistakes can be corrected. There is nothing good about it. Then let him reflect on it, and don't be in a hurry to see him."

Madam Yuan let out a long breath.Although the Son of Heaven was frivolous, his attitude was not bad, and he didn't intend to hold Yuan Shao.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your forgiveness."

"Is there anything else?" Liu Xie picked up his pen again.

Seeing that Liu Xie wanted to see off the guests, Mrs. Yuan quickly said: "Your Majesty, although Yuan Shao is ill and cannot see him, his son Yuan Tan is in his prime. I beg Your Majesty to include it."

Liu Xie rubbed his fingers. "Yuan Tan, I heard Marquis An Guoting mention it, and I heard that he is a talent."

Madam Yuan was delighted.Yuan Shu has been confused all his life, but this time he finally did something serious.

"What position does he hold? What achievements or achievements has he had?"

"He..." Madam Yuan was suddenly at a loss for words.

As the eldest son of Yuan Shao, Yuan Tan has done many things and achieved many achievements.

But these achievements may not be recognized by the emperor.

When Yuan Shao became a vassal, the emperor insisted on only recognizing him as the prefect of Bohai, not Jizhou Mu, let alone the chariot general.

In short, official positions that have not been recognized by the edict are not recognized, and they are all false edicts.It would be magnanimous for the court not to hold him accountable.

That being the case, the upper limit of Yuan Shao's civil and military affairs is the officials of Bohai County.

However, Yuan Tan has been commanding troops to fight with Yuan Shao, and has not held any position in Bohai County.

In fact, after Yuan Shao clashed with Gongsun Zan and handed over Bohai to Gongsun Zan's younger brother Gongsun Fan, Yuan Shao lost control of Bohai County, and it was naturally impossible for Yuan Tan to serve in Bohai County.

According to this standard, Yuan Tan is now white, an ordinary person.

At most two thousand stone children - Yuan Shao's Bohai prefect has not been dismissed.

Thinking of this, Madam Yuan couldn't help but suspect that it was too clever for the emperor to insist that Yuan Shao could only serve as the prefect of Bohai Sea, and directly deprived countless people under Yuan Shao's command of bargaining qualifications.

In desperation, Madam Yuan had no choice but to say: "Although Yuan Tan has experience in conscripting, he is in vain."

"Then he intends to follow the rules? Yuan Shao has served as the prefect of Bohai Sea successively, and it has not been three years?"

Madam Yuan's heart was blocked, and she felt unspeakably uncomfortable.

What the emperor said is too hurtful, but it is true.

Although Yuan Shao has controlled Jizhou for nearly ten years, his resume recognized by the court is that he served as the prefect of Bohai twice, one after Zhongping left in the sixth year, and the first month of the first year of Chuping, less than three months before and after.The first time was just one year after I submitted a letter to admit my minister last year.

That is to say, even according to the standard that two thousand stone disciples can become Lang Guan, Yuan Tan will have to wait for more than a year before he is eligible to be selected as Lang Guan, let alone others.

The emperor did not reject her, but blocked her mouth with the system.

She really wanted to ask for a few more words, but she couldn't open her mouth.

Growing up so big, she has never begged anyone, let alone after being rejected face to face.

Annoyed and ashamed, Mrs. Yuan had no choice but to resign and returned home defeated.

Seeing Mrs. Yuan's back disappearing outside the door, Liu Xie thought for a moment, and called for the accompanying minister to draft an edict.

Yuan Shao, the prefect of Bohai, is seriously ill and unable to perform his duties. He will be dismissed from his post immediately, and he will recuperate in peace of mind. Arrangements will be made after he recovers.

-

Madam Yuan returned to the posthouse, thinking about how to explain to Xun Chen, Guo Tu and others, but Xun Chen rushed over.

The emperor just issued an edict to dismiss Yuan Shao's Bohai prefect.

The imperial edict was written very politely, allowing Yuan Shao to recover from his illness with peace of mind.

But for Xun Chen and others, this was their last straw.Yuan Shao became white, so what are they?

Even if you surrender, you will be appointed in the future based on your current position.

Considering that the edict was issued at the same time as Mrs. Yuan's meeting, Xun Chen came directly to ask Mrs. Yuan, what did you say to the emperor?

Madam Yuan was also dumbfounded.

Son of Heaven, what does this mean?Do you want to force Yuan Shao to death?

But from the edict, there is no malice, only the emperor loves the minister's fist.

Facing Xun Chen who was almost impatient, Madam Yuan couldn't hide anything, so she had to tell the story.

After listening to Xun Chen, he was also at a loss, unable to figure out what the emperor meant.

You can say that he was chasing after him and not giving Yuan Shao a living, or you could say that he was just following the rules and it was Yuan Shao who committed the crime himself, which hurt Yuan Tan's future.

Xun Chen thought about it for a long time, and finally said: "The matter has come to this, I can only try the emperor's will again."

"How to try?"

"Madam doesn't know, Xiansi still has two chances to become an official."

Madam Yuan was overjoyed and urged Xun Chen to speak quickly.

"One is to recruit trilogy, conquer from the emperor, and accumulate military merits. However, the emperor has no shortage of troops, so I'm afraid he won't agree."

Madam Yuan agreed.

With Bingliang's elite in hand, the emperor has 10,000+ troops at his disposal, and he doesn't care about Yuan Tan's thousands of people.

"Secondly, my wife doesn't know something. She has a filial and honest identity, and the recommender is Xuzhou Mu Liu Bei. The emperor recruited soldiers from all directions, and he was optimistic about Yu Ping. Liu Bei should come in person. Liu Bei will come forward to recommend, and the emperor should I'll show you face."

Madam Yuan's face became hot when she heard this.

She knows Liu Bei.In the last years of Zhongping, when Liu Bei was traveling in the capital, he visited Yang Biao many times as a disciple of Lu Zhi, hoping to obtain an official position, but in the end he failed.

Asking Liu Bei to recommend Yuan Tan now is tantamount to admitting that she does not have enough face, and is not as good as Liu Bei who was not considered by her back then.

Mrs. Yuan couldn't swallow this breath, and decided to go to see the emperor again, and ask Yuan Tan for a chance to be a man.

If it doesn't work, Yang Biao can appoint Yuan Tan as an official. Why bother to ask Liu Bei?

Chapter 812

Liu Xie was somewhat surprised that Mrs. Yuan left and returned.

Logically speaking, as Mrs. Yuan, after hitting a snag once, she shouldn't come back again.

Sure enough, there is no desire to be strong.When someone asks for something, no matter who she is, her figure will be softer, even if she is an old and arrogant girl.

Liu Xie asked Madam Yuan to come in, and when they met, she said, "Madam came just in time, I am planning to send someone to thank Madam."

Madam Yuan was at a loss. "Why did His Majesty say that?"

"If Madam didn't speak up, I wouldn't even know Yuan Shao was ill. I thought he was complaining and refused to see him." Liu Xie said sincerely: "After listening to Madam explain the whole story, I just issued an edict to dismiss him from office. , let him recuperate well. After receiving the imperial edict, is he better?"

Madam Yuan's chest was blocked, and she almost vomited blood like Yuan Shao.

You are young, but your methods are really insidious.Don't issue an edict early, don't issue an edict later, you issue an edict as soon as I come, isn't this pushing me into the fire pit?

Even so, Madam Yuan could only swallow her anger.

"Your Majesty's forgiveness, although his body hasn't improved yet, his spirit has relaxed a lot."

"That's good, that's good." Liu Xie nodded with satisfaction.
