Can I get to the other side?

The brothers Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi were anxious and confused when they saw their father's weakness.

"Father, you have always been in good health, why did you suddenly fall ill?"

Yuan Shang's face was full of anxiety, and his tone was full of worry.

He just heard that Yuan Shao suddenly fainted, and then he and Yuan Xi hurried back, but he didn't know the specific reason.

Yuan Shao sighed: "I was angry when I heard that Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor. Now it's fine, my son, don't worry."

"What?"

Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang were shocked when they heard it.

Yuan Shu... proclaimed himself emperor? !

The two were not stupid people. After hearing this shocking news, they immediately realized the huge impact it would bring.

Yuan Shang was furious: "My Yuan family has been blessed by the Han Dynasty for generations. His rebellious behavior is destroying the reputation of my Yuan family for a hundred years!"

"What's more, the emperor is still in Yecheng! If he becomes emperor, how will you deal with him in front of the emperor in the future?"

He finally understood why his father fainted from anger.

What Yuan Shu did was extremely hateful!

Yuan Xi, who was standing aside, was much calmer and asked: "Father, what are you going to do? Do you have a plan to deal with it?"

Yuan Shao nodded slightly and said: "I plan to ask for an imperial decree to fight against the enemy and draw a clear line with Yuan Shu, so that people in the world will know that Yuan Shu's becoming emperor has nothing to do with me."

He told his two sons about his next plan.

Yuan Shang was relieved after hearing this: "Father, I'm glad you're prepared."

Yuan Xi frowned and thought after hearing this. After a while, he looked up and said to Yuan Shao: "Father, I think that simply asking for an imperial edict to fight against the enemy is not enough to prove your loyalty to the Han Dynasty. Why don't you let other princes fight against the enemy together?"

"As long as you take the lead, and then create the momentum of the 18 princes fighting against Dong Zhuo, who would dare to suspect that you have selfish motives?"

Yuan Xi's proposal attracted everyone's attention.

When Yuan Shao led the 18 princes to fight against Dong Zhuo, it was the most high-spirited and glorious moment in his life. From then on, he became a "role model for the world".

If the situation of jointly fighting against Dong Zhuo is reproduced now, it will surely remind people all over the world of Yuan Shao's glorious deeds. At that time, it will not only greatly reduce the negative impact of Yuan Shu's enthronement, but also make his reputation even higher!

"Second Master, this is a brilliant idea!"

Ju Su's eyes lit up, and he greatly appreciated Yuan Xi's proposal, and then excitedly said to Yuan Shao: "My Lord! Issuing an edict to order all the princes to fight against the enemy is indeed the best strategy!"

"Let Cao Cao of Yanzhou, Lu Bu of Xuzhou, Sun Ce of Jiangdong, Liu Biao of Jingzhou, and you, a total of five armies, encircle Yuan Shu!"

"This way, they can share the risk, and show your loyalty to the cause of justice and punish the rebellious!"

Generally, the princes can find excuses not to listen to the emperor's edict.

But if an edict is issued to punish a traitor who claims to be an emperor, no prince dares not to listen, because they are all Han ministers!

If you don't even punish this kind of traitor, do you also want to become an emperor and rebel?

Xu You also stroked his beard and said, "Not only that, but we can also take the opportunity to consume the strength of various princes, especially Lu Bu and Cao Cao."

"My lord, haven't you always wanted to conquer Xuzhou? This time, let Lu Bu be the vanguard to attack Yuan Shu, consume his troops and prepare for the future capture of Xuzhou!"

"And if we can defeat Yuan Shu, we can also take the opportunity to divide Yangzhou!"

"This is a strategy of killing four birds with one stone!"

All the counselors praised Yuan Xi's proposal.

At first, they only thought about how to prove their innocence and draw a clear line with Yuan Shu, but they didn't think of taking this opportunity to seek greater benefits!

The so-called authorities are confused, and the bystanders are clear, this is exactly the case.

There is no doubt that this is the best solution to the current dilemma, and it can even turn passivity into initiative and turn bad things into good things!

"Good!"

Yuan Shao was very happy, and even his face became a little ruddy.

He didn't expect that there was such a way to break the deadlock!

Thinking of this, he looked at Yuan Xi with approval and praised: "I haven't seen you for a few months. Xianyi really impressed me!"

Yuan Xi said modestly: "Father, you are too kind. I just said it casually. It doesn't mean anything."

"Don't be modest. This is your credit!"

Yuan Shao laughed and said: "Father is in poor health and needs to be recuperated. From today on, all the affairs of the city will be handed over to you and Xianfu."

"It just happens to let me see how much you have grown."

As soon as these words came out, the other ministers in the room were startled.

Let the two princes share the affairs of the city?

The brothers Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang were immediately inspired when they heard this, and they immediately responded in unison: "We are willing to share the worries for our father!"

Yuan Shao patted Yuan Xi on the shoulder and said: "Xian Yi, you are the elder brother and you are more stable. Remember to share more of Xian Fu's burden."

Yuan Xi said seriously: "Father, please rest assured, I will remember it."

"Gong Yu and Zheng Nan, you should also pay more attention. The two princes are still young, you must assist them carefully."

Ju Su, Shen Pei and other ministers said: "We will do our best to assist the two princes!"

Yuan Shao nodded, then waved his hand and said: "Please do the imperial edict as soon as possible...Okay, you all leave, I am a little tired."

After arranging these things with all his strength, he was already very tired.

Everyone saluted and left the room.

When he arrived at the courtyard, Yuan Xi bowed to Ju Shou and others and said, "I will trouble you all for the next period of time. If this young master has done something wrong, please help me."

His attitude was very humble and his attitude was very low.

The counselors hurriedly returned the greetings, saying that they dared not.

Guo Tu even stepped forward with a smile and said, "If the second young master has any questions, just ask me, and I will do my best."

Everyone can see that after what happened just now, Yuan Shao recognized Yuan Xi's ability very much; he said that he would let the two young masters share the affairs of the city, but in fact, Yuan Xi was still the main one, otherwise he would not have told Yuan Xi to take care of Yuan Shang.

Xu You also laughed and said, "The second young master is too serious. This is what we ministers should do."

Seeing Yuan Xi chatting and laughing with the ministers, Yuan Shang's face was a little gloomy, and he didn't say much, and strode out of the yard directly.

This made Guo Tu and Xu You feel a little embarrassed.

Yuan Xi's expression remained unchanged, and he smiled warmly: "It's okay, my third brother is just a little tired from traveling all the way. If you two adults are free, why don't you take me to familiarize myself with the affairs in the city first."

"Okay, okay..."

The two men regained their smiles and left with Yuan Xi.

Shen Pei and Feng Ji looked at each other and followed Yuan Shang in the direction he left. Now only Ju Shou and Tian Feng were left in the yard.

"My lord, this is a difficult problem for us."

Looking at the backs of the people leaving, Ju Shou felt a little headache.

Yuan Shao gave the affairs of the city to Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang, and asked them to assist them, which clearly meant to test their attitude towards the two princes.

Tian Feng said lightly: "Just do your own job well, don't think too much about other things, it has nothing to do with us."

Ju Shou shook his head, with a sad look on his face.

If only it were that simple.
