Reborn in the Three Kingdoms, I stole Liu Bei's uncle

Bohai Sea.

Yuan Shao Mansion.

Yuan Shao, who looked handsome, sat at the table, picked up the wine glass and took a sip of wine, then looked at Guo Tu and asked, "Gong Ze, has there been any news from Wang Situ in the past two days?"

Guo Tu replied, "My lord, the prince has already convinced Wang Yue that he will take his men to assassinate Dong Zhuo during the chaos."

Yuan Shao took another sip of wine, and after a while, he slowly said, "Have our people been placed in here?"

Guo Tu said: "Don't worry, lord. Everything has already been arranged. We can realize the plan in a few days when the emperor goes on the spring hunt."

Guo Tu smiled and said, "As long as Dong Zhuo is killed, you will be the first meritorious official in eliminating the thief and reviving the Han Dynasty. Then it will be natural for you to move to Luoyang and assist the emperor."

As Guo Tu spoke, he observed Yuan Shao's expression and saw that he looked a little worried.

"My lord, do you still have any doubts?"

Yuan Shao was silent for a moment and then said, "Lü Bu is very brave and always follows Dong Zhuo. I am afraid that Wang Yue will not succeed."

Guo Tu lowered his head and took a bite of the food, then slowly said: "My lord, don't forget, if Wang Yue can't succeed, we still have a second plan."

Yuan Shao's eyes flickered under the light.

"Have you contacted Hu Benhou?"

Guo Tu smiled and said, "I have already sent someone to say that once the emperor dies, the Han Dynasty will be without a leader. Hu Benhou will inevitably disagree."

"As long as the Huben Marquis agrees, then the merit of supporting the lord can be used to control the emperor and control the Han Dynasty."

Yuan Shao was still a little hesitant.

"What if Marquis Hu Ben disagrees?"

Guo Tu was slightly startled, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "Who can resist such temptation in the supreme position?"

"I have heard that Hu Ben Hou is loyal and righteous, and I am afraid that he will not be willing to accept the throne."

Guo Tu smiled and said, "Of course not. My lord, think about it. When the emperor dies, the Han Dynasty will be without a master. Since Hu Benhou is loyal, how can he watch the Han Dynasty fall? He will definitely accept the throne of the emperor."

Yuan Shao thought for a moment and then said, "Your words make sense."

"The matter has been decided in secret. Wang Yun must make arrangements and not leak any information."

"Princess, rest assured. The people we sent to contact Wang Yun were all verbal messages, and there is no written evidence. Even if Wang Yun insists that it was the master who did it, who would believe him without evidence?

"My lord, don't forget the order we have sent out. If the emperor is killed, Wang Yun will also die in the assassination."

"The emperor is dead, so if some more princes and ministers die, no one will suspect them."

Yuan Shao nodded.

"Send more scouts. I want to know the information as soon as possible."

Guo Tu bowed and said, "Don't worry, my lord. The scouts have already been sent out. If Dong Zhuo is dead, my lord will immediately lead the soldiers into Luoyang. If the emperor dies, the princess will support the Tiger Guard Marquis as emperor and fight against Dong Zhuo."

"No matter what the result is, my lord is sure to win."

After a moment of silence, Yuan Shao finally made up his mind. He slammed the table and said, "This is a great plan. If it succeeds, the world will be mine."

After saying that, he burst into laughter.

"Gong Ze, you can be said to have made the greatest contribution. You will definitely be promoted to a higher position when the time comes."

Guo Tu hurriedly bowed and expressed his gratitude.

Yuan Shao was in a very good mood at this time, as if his plan would be realized in the next moment. He sat beside the emperor, giving orders and directing the country.

"Gong Ze, there are only you and me here, no need to be polite, stand up quickly, and let's drink this glass of wine."

Guo Tu stood up and the two of them drank a few more glasses of wine.

Guo Tu asked again: "Princess, have you ever thought about what will happen after the lord takes control of Luoyang?"

Yuan Shao was stunned, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "Please teach me."

Guo Tu was confident and said slowly: "My lord, you should rely on the emperor to issue orders and send troops to wipe out the princes of the world."

Yuan Shao was a little excited.

"Okay. By then, I will be the most meritorious official in the revival of the Han Dynasty. I'm afraid even Huo Guang will have to rank behind me."

Guo Tu smiled and said, "My lord, your ambition is small?"

"Too small?" Yuan Shao was stunned, not quite sure what Guo Tu meant.

"What do you mean, sir?"

Guo Tu laughed and said, "The Han Dynasty has been in power for four hundred years and has run out of luck. My lord, do you only want to be a famous minister like Huo Guang?"

"Then the princess should inherit the throne and become a figure like Emperor Gaozu of Han, passing down the throne for thousands of generations. Wouldn't that be wonderful?"

When Yuan Shao heard this, his hand trembled and the wine glass in his hand fell to the ground with a shattering sound.

The soldiers outside the door heard the noise and thought something had happened, so they rushed in.

Yuan Shao slowly recovered from his shock, looked at the soldiers in the room, and said angrily: "Everyone get out! No one is allowed to enter within thirty steps without my order. Anyone who disobeys my order will be executed immediately."

"only!"

The soldiers retreated.

Peace finally returned to the hall.

"Gong Ze, you are drunk. My Yuan family has been blessed by the country for generations, and how could we have such a rebellious idea?"

Guo Tu said slowly, "Shang lasted 400 years before the Zhou, and the Zhou lasted 800 years before the Qin. The second Qin died in the Han. The Han has been around for 400 years. There are warlords fighting for power outside, and Dong Zhuo's government is in chaos inside. There are constant disasters and the people are living in misery. This shows that the Han has run out of luck. My lord, you have inherited the mandate of heaven and succeeded to the throne. You are following the will of heaven. How can you say that you are committing treason?"

"At that time, Zhou was originally a vassal of Shang, Qin was a minor official of Zhou, and Gaozu was a village head of Qin. These three later established their own businesses. My lord, think about the people in the future. Who would say that they were traitors?"

"Ji Fa was called King Wu, Ying Zheng was called Emperor, and as for Emperor Gaozu, he was idle and illiterate, but after he founded the Han Dynasty, everyone praised him for his generosity and magnanimity, which was rare in ancient and modern times."

Yes, the ancient books say it well: those who steal a hook will be executed, and those who steal a country will become princes. As long as I can achieve the imperial cause, people in the future will still praise me for my wisdom and bravery. Who will say that I was the one who usurped the throne and seized the world of the Han family?

Yuan Shao listened to Guo Tu's words, thought for a moment, and the expression on his face eased a little.

Guo Tu observed Yuan Shao's expression and knew that his words had touched Yuan Shao's heart.

In this chaotic world, which prince can resist the temptation of the throne?

Although they hid this idea very deeply, they eventually planted a seed in their hearts. As long as the seed was there, they would become a drop of water, allowing the seed to germinate, bloom, and grow into a towering tree.

If Yuan Shao could really succeed in becoming emperor, even if he was a loyal minister, he would be able to achieve a high position and be remembered for eternity. It would not be in vain for him to have lived in this world.

Yuan Shao grabbed a piece of meat from the plate, put it in his mouth and chewed it slowly.

"Gong Ze, can I really accomplish great things and become the emperor?"

"My lord, you have hundreds of thousands of soldiers under your command. The Yuan family has three officials in four generations, and their students and former officials are all over the world. If my lord cannot succeed the throne, then who can?"

Yuan Shao swallowed the mutton and seemed to have finally made up his mind.

"If you can really accomplish great things, you will be the first meritorious official."
