Can I get to the other side?
Chapter 75 Jia Xu enters Yecheng
The Zhen family convoy sent Zhen Mi to Yecheng and left after staying there for a few days.
As the saying goes, they come and go in a hurry.
When the Zhen family members left, only Yuan Shang went to see them off. Yuan Xi still claimed to be sick and did not go.
But in fact, he was drinking at home to drown his sorrows.
"Ton ton ton ton--!"
In the study, Yuan Xi held the wine jar and raised his head to drink.
After drinking the wine in his hand, he exhaled a breath of turbid air, threw the empty wine jar to the ground and smashed it to pieces, and then shouted drunkenly: "Bring me some wine! Bring me more wine!"
The servants outside the study came over after hearing the sound.
But after seeing the empty wine jars piled up on the floor of the study, he couldn't help but persuade him: "Young Master, you should drink less..."
"Bang!"
Before the servant finished speaking, Yuan Xi slapped the table with a slap, and said angrily: "This young master can't even drink now!"
"Even a servant like you dare to control this young master?!"
Facing the angry Yuan Xi, the servant didn't dare to say anything more, so he had to bow and then go to get the wine.
"Vile thing!"
Watching the servant leave, Yuan Xi cursed bitterly, then slumped in the chair with a gloomy expression.
In order to appear reliable in front of his father.
He hasn't indulged himself like this for a long time.
But this time he really couldn't help it.
Originally, the marriage with the Zhen family was a great thing for him. He could not only win over the local wealthy family of Jizhou, the Zhen family, but also marry such a beautiful woman.
But Yuan Shang intervened and ruined the marriage!
Thinking of this, Yuan Xi couldn't help but think of the beautiful face he saw outside Yecheng that day.
In addition, during this period of time, he was suppressed by Yuan Shang in both military and political affairs.
His hatred for Yuan Shang in his heart became even deeper.
Yuan Xi became more and more angry. At this time, he heard footsteps coming, so he cursed directly: "Why are you so slow to get a bottle of wine! You useless..."
His curse stopped abruptly because the person who came was not the attendant who brought the wine, but Xu You.
"Mr. Xu? Why are you here?"
Yuan Xi sobered up a little and hurriedly stood up to greet him. Because he really drank a little too much, he couldn't stand up for a while.
Seeing this, Xu You said: "Second Master, there is no need to be polite, just sit down. I just saw that you haven't been to the official residence for a few days, so I came to visit you."
Like Guo Tu and Xin Ping, Xu You preferred Yuan Xi among Yuan Shao's three sons.
Yuan Xi had not been seen in the official residence in recent days, so Xu You came to see what was going on.
"Sir, please sit down."
Yuan Xi invited Xu You to sit down, and then called the servants to prepare tea and clean up the empty wine jars in the room.
Xu You took a look, then looked at Yuan Xi, who was drunk and a little depressed, and asked: "Why are you drinking to drown your sorrows? Not only have you neglected your affairs in the past few days, but you didn't even see Zhen off when she left."
"If the lord knew about it, he might not like it."
Yuan Xi said indifferently: "If you know, then you know. Anyway, my father doesn't like me now, and it's useless to try to show it."
"My father has always favored Xianfu."
He used to manage logistics affairs conscientiously, but in return he was reprimanded. Now he is discouraged.
Hearing the disappointment in Yuan Xi's tone, Xu You smiled and asked: "Sir, don't you want to know why the third son has been praised by the lord recently?"
"What do you mean, sir?"
Yuan Xi looked up at Xu You and frowned slightly.
In fact, he also felt very strange about this.
Father asked the two brothers to take charge of various affairs, and counselors such as Shen Pei and Xu You could only assist and help with reference, but could not directly handle them for them.
Because their father wanted to see the ability of the two brothers.
Even though it was the first time for them to do such a thing, Yuan Shang's performance was far better than his, and he handled all the affairs in an orderly manner.
He thought that Yuan Shang's ability and talent were better than his.
But now it seems... there seems to be something else?
Xu You nodded slightly, and then said: "I have a good relationship with Feng Yuantu. I learned from him that it was a counselor named Guo Jia under the command of the Third Young Master who has been helping the Third Young Master to make plans and handle military and political affairs."
"The last time the rumors were spread and the marriage between you and the Zhen family was prevented, it was also the work of this Guo Jia."
This news was also learned by Xu You recently. After careful consideration, he decided to do a favor and tell the Second Young Master Yuan Xi about this matter.
"What?!"
Yuan Xi's face changed suddenly when he heard this, and he couldn't help but grit his teeth and said: "No wonder, no wonder! This guy! He is cheating!"
At this time, Yuan Xi was furious.
No wonder Yuan Shang could handle all military and political affairs in an orderly manner, and no wonder he could come up with a countermeasure immediately when the rumors suddenly appeared last time.
It turns out that everything was because someone was helping him behind the scenes!
After thinking this through, Yuan Xi stood up without hesitation and said, "I will go tell my father now!"
The rumor last time was extremely dangerous. If we are not careful, it will be a huge blow to the reputation of the Yuan family. If Yuan Shao knew about this, he would be furious.
"Sir, please stay!"
Seeing this, Xu You quickly reached out to stop him, and then persuaded him, "Even if you know it, what? Without evidence and empty words, how can the lord believe you?"
"And even if the lord trusts the young master, I'm afraid he won't be angry with the third young master. Instead, he will dislike you, the second young master, even more."
Yuan Xi looked stunned: "Why? He is obviously cheating!"
Xu You felt helpless and sighed: "Being able to cheat is a skill. Although the lord does not allow us to help the two young masters, he has never made it clear and has not restricted the two young masters from asking me and other talented people. Help."
"Being able to get help from talented people is also an ability. Master, do you understand?"
Although there is this unspoken rule here, the unspoken rule is not a real rule, and even if it is a real rule, so what?
Rules have always been broken.
If Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang have the ability to persuade their advisers to help, then that is their ability.
Xu You knew this early on, and he had been waiting for Yuan Xi to come to him for help, but Yuan Xi actually worked hard and honestly.
He was so honest that he couldn't stand it anymore.
This is a special reminder.
After hearing this, Yuan Xi was stunned and shocked.
So... can we still play like this?
For some reason, he suddenly remembered the words his father asked him that day and the meaningful look he gave him.
"Xianyi, do you really have no objection?"
"This is the marriage originally planned for you."
Suddenly, Yuan Xi suddenly woke up.
It turns out...that's it.
Only now did he understand what his father Yuan Shao's words meant that day, but now it was too late.
No! wrong!
It's not too late!
Yuan Xi suddenly looked up at Xu You, as if seeing the last straw, and begged: "Mr. Xu, you must help me!"
Now he can only ask Xu You for help!
But Xu You shook his head and said: "Second Young Master, please forgive me. Telling you the inside story this time has broken the rules. I can no longer help you."
"You can go to Tian Yuanhao and Ju Gongyu to see if you can win their help. Say goodbye."
After Xu You finished speaking, he turned and left.
Yuan Xi was left alone in the study, dejected.
Could it be that no one really helped him?
…
Outside the south gate of Yecheng.
A carriage drove slowly toward the city along the spacious official road.
In the carriage, a slightly fat scribe raised his head and lifted the curtain, looked up at Yecheng in front of him, and smiled.
"Finally arrived at Yecheng."
This fat scribe is none other than Jia Xu!
After separating from Zhang Xiu in Wancheng, he went all the way to Jizhou. It took him a month to finally reach Yecheng.
He had two purposes for this trip.
The first is to pay homage to the emperor, and the second is to join Yuan Shao's command.
His trip was for the emperor. If the emperor was worthy of his assistance, he, Jia Wenhe, might not be able to serve as a minister of the dragon and help the great Han; but if the emperor was not worthy of his assistance, then he could also seek refuge with Yuan Shao.
All in all, there is a way forward and backward.
"Don't let me down."
Jia Xu smiled, lowered the curtains of the carriage, and slowly drove into the city.
The carriage did not stop until it reached outside the palace.
"Forbidden areas of the palace, stop anyone who comes!"
As soon as the carriage approached the palace, guards came forward to investigate.
The person on duty today was Gao Lan. He came forward with two guards and asked, "Who is here?"
Soon the car curtain was raised and Jia Xu got out of the car.
After straightening his clothes and straightening the crown on his head, Jia Xu smiled and said: "Jia Xu, courtesy name Wenhe, Doctor Guanglu, I heard that His Majesty is now living in Yecheng, so I came here to pay my respects."
"Doctor Guanglu? Jia Xu?"
Gao Lan's face changed slightly when he heard this.
Although he has never heard of the name Jia Xu, Doctor Guanglu is very familiar with it, and he is second only to Jiu Qing!
The fat man in front of me was a plain-looking man.
He is actually a high-ranking official with a rank of two thousand stones?
Gao Lan didn't know whether it was true or not, but he didn't dare to be negligent. He said respectfully, "Sir, please wait a moment. I will go and report to His Majesty first."
"Thank you."
Jia Xu said with a smile and a very good temper.
So Gao Lan asked the imperial guards on the left and right to stay where they were to watch Jia Xu, while he went into the palace to report to Liu Xie.
Liu Xie was taking a nap in the palace at this time. After hearing the news, his sleepiness disappeared immediately and he climbed out of bed.
"What did you say? Jia Xu?!"
Liu Xie looked at Gao Lan in shock, wondering if he had heard wrong, or if Gao Lan had said it wrong!
Gao Lan nodded and said, "Yes, Your Majesty. He calls himself Dr. Guanglu. His surname is Jia and his given name is Wenhe. I heard you right."
After confirming the matter from Gao Lan, Liu Xie swallowed.
There was some uncertainty in my heart.
Of course he has heard of Jia Xu, the famous poisonous warrior of the Three Kingdoms, who is as famous as the ghost Guo Jia!
"Why did Jia Xu come to Yecheng? When Cao Cao attacked Zhang Xiu, shouldn't he and Zhang Xiu have joined Cao Cao? What on earth is going on!"
Liu Xie now feels that his brain's CPU is overloaded.
Jia Xu's arrival was completely different from the history he knew well.
After his expression changed several times, Liu Xie got out of bed and said to Gao Lan, "Bring him to the main hall. I want to see him in person."
"Yes! Your Majesty!"
Gao Lan took the order and left.
