Han Dynasty Achievements

Chapter 74 Wang Yun's Ambition

Yuan Ji, Huang Wan and a large group of people helped Yuan Wei up. Seeing that cold sweat was pouring down his forehead and he couldn't open his eyes, they became even more panicked and shouted continuously.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way!"

Yuan Ji was anxious, and strode out with Yuan Wei on his back, surrounded by countless people, looking extremely anxious.

Ding Gong and Liu Hong stood side by side. Seeing that more than half of the Quefei Hall was empty, they looked at each other silently.

As the others walked out one after another, Ding Gong smiled, walked forward side by side with Liu Hong, and whispered, "Do you feel particularly surprised?"

Liu Hong glanced at Wang Yun and Dong Zhuo who were slowly getting up, and laughed softly, "It's more than a surprise. Such courage and sense of proportion almost scared me."

The two looked at each other, smiled knowingly and happily.

Dong Zhuo stood up and looked outside the door, his eyes wide open and filled with hatred.

"You old thief have gone too far in bullying me!"

He roared in his heart. When he was in Bingzhou, Yuan Wei personally promised him that when he arrived in the Eastern Capital, he would be the Grand Commandant and the Prime Minister, the highest position among officials.

But on the first day, he could already see that the little emperor was extremely wary of the Yuan family, and was trying to warn them in every word!

What about the position of Grand Marshal and Prime Minister? He is now afraid that the Yuan family will cause his death!

Wang Yun was walking at the back, and when he saw a large group of people gathered in twos and threes in front of him, making a lot of noise, he looked unhappy.

"A bunch of idiots!"

He cursed softly, then turned to look in the direction where Yuan Wei was being taken to the palace, his face full of coldness.

At this time, Liu Bian and Cao Cao were strolling towards Fanglin Garden.

Cao Cao was behind him, telling about what he saw and heard during this trip to Bingzhou.

After a long while, Liu Bian smiled and said, "So Dong Zhuo is a talented general. He wiped out the Qiang people with just a wave of his hand from hundreds of miles away?"

Cao Cao's eyes flashed with a hint of cruelty, and he said, "Your Majesty, I suspect Dong Zhuo killed innocent people to take credit for his achievements."

Liu Bian entered Fanglin Garden, sat down in the small pavilion, poured himself some tea, and asked, "How is Yuan Taifu?"

Pan Yin stood in front of him and said quickly, "He's awake. The palace physician said it was caused by the long journey. He will be fine if he takes good care of himself."

Liu Bian felt the heat, picked up the teacup and took a sip, then said, "What you said, Huangfu Qing's family also had some speculations before. What do you think I should do with Dong Zhuo now?"

Cao Cao wanted to kill Dong Zhuo to prevent future troubles, but he changed his mind and said, "I will obey your order."

Liu Bian held the teacup and looked out of the palace. Suddenly he said, "Cao Cao, I want to ask you, if someone persuades you to establish yourself, or even to usurp the throne, what will you do?"

Cao Cao's face suddenly changed, and he knelt on the ground with a plop. He said in a deep voice: "If anyone dares to say such treasonous words, I will kill him immediately without hesitation!"

Liu Bian glanced at him for a long time and nodded slightly.

Cao Cao knocked his head to the ground, his eyes flashed with murderous intent, his face was as hard as steel, and he thought to himself: Is it the Yuan family? Someone advised the Yuan family to establish their own independence? They deserve to be killed!

Liu Bian took another sip of tea and said, "I will promote you to the rank of Right General of the Central Army, command 10,000 troops, and station you in Hongnong."

"I obey your order!" Cao Cao replied. At the same time, he was filled with hatred. If the Yuan family dared to mess around, he would lead his troops into the capital without hesitation and wipe out the Yuan family!

Liu Bian thought for a long time, and then said: "Xu Rong will be promoted to General of the Tiger Guards, with 10,000 soldiers, stationed in Yingchuan."

Cao Cao was stunned. He knew Xu Rong, who was from Liaodong and was originally a subordinate of He Jin, and was the General of the Left.

However, if he wanted to deal with the Yuan family, his 10,000 men would be enough, so why should Xu Rong be stationed in Yingchuan?

Doesn’t the Yuan family want to be independent?

Cao Cao had a look of doubt on his face and was uncertain in his mind.

Liu Bian deduced it again in his mind and said to himself, "It's almost done. Pan Yin, clean up the right side of Jiade Hall and turn it into the Grand Marshal's Mansion."

"Yes." Pan Yin responded softly, feeling confused in his heart. Did the Yuan family really intend to become independent?

evening.

Yuan Wei was carried out of the palace and returned to Yuan Mansion.

In Yuan Wei's bedroom, only Yuan Ji was by his bedside.

Yuan Ji saw that Yuan Wei looked a little pale, and asked worriedly, "Uncle, are you really okay?"

Yuan Wei was silent, his eyes were filled with silence. After a long moment, he whispered, "Is Gonglu back?"

Yuan Ji paused and said, "He was ambushed by a group of bandits a while ago and nearly died. I don't know where he is hiding now. I'm trying to find him."

Yuan Wei frowned, and then said: "I'm fine, just tired from the long journey. Please ask for leave for me."

Yuan Ji was startled and said in a panic, "Uncle, asking for leave at this time..."

Yuan Wei glanced at him and said, "It doesn't matter. I'll take another look."

Yuan Ji nodded thoughtfully, feeling depressed and his face solemn.

But the words spoken by His Majesty in the palace were not only a warning to Yuan Wei, but also to the Yuan family, as well as the Yuan family's disciples and former officials, as well as the aristocratic families and scholars who were interested in the Yuan family.

It will take time to see how heavy this blow is.

Yuan Wei leaned against the bedside, silent for a long time, and said: "Dong Zhuo, you should be careful in making friends. After a while, I plan to push him into the Shangshutai."

Dong Zhuo is only the Grand Marshal now and has not yet been appointed as the Minister of the Secretariat.

Yuan Ji looked at Yuan Wei and said hesitantly, "Uncle, Dong Zhuo's mind is hard to predict. His words in Quefei Palace seemed to have some implications."

Yuan Wei said: "It should be someone from Bingzhou who taught him. He may not understand what it means. Pushing him up will only benefit our Yuan family, so there is no need to think too much."

Yuan Ji hesitated to speak. His qualifications were still a little shallow. Huang Wan was qualified, but not as close as Dong Zhuo's Taiwei.

After a while, Yuan Ji put aside his reluctance and said, "Uncle, the most important thing now is the 'new system'. If the imperial court issues an edict, the nine ministers will become decorations, and everything will be decided by the Shangshutai."

He didn't say it in full, but it was clear that the Nine Ministers had become mere decorations, and the previous arrangements of the Yuan family were in vain.

Yuan Wei looked calm and remained silent.

Yuan Ji wanted to say more, but Yuan Wei suddenly said, "There are some beginnings and ends, you should clean them up as soon as possible."

Yuan Ji's expression suddenly changed, with fear in his eyes. He leaned closer and whispered, "Uncle, will His Majesty take action against us?"

Yuan Wei shook his head slightly and said, "Just in case."

Yuan Ji felt relieved. What the emperor said today really scared him.

It's getting dark.

Wang Yun paced back and forth in the yard, his face full of worry, and he sighed to the moon from time to time.

He was an extremely calm person. For a long time, he stayed away from the eunuch party and the relatives of the emperor's wife, watching from the sidelines. He had a clear understanding of the court situation, but never got involved in right and wrong.

Ever since the eunuch party and He Jin came into power, the Yuan family suddenly became the dominant force in the imperial court, and every move of the imperial court depended on the Yuan family's wishes.

Although Wang Yun was also the Secretary of State like Yuan Wei, and was considered half a prime minister, his power was incomparable.

He sat and watched as Yuan Wei placed Yuan's disciples, former officials, relatives and friends into the court one by one, scattering them in all directions like chess pieces, and he had no way to stop it.

However, Wang Yun wanted to arrange one of his disciples to be a counselor, but he encountered obstacles at every turn and has not been able to make it happen so far.

"It's just a name, but what can I do..."

Wang Yun looked at the bright moonlight and sighed with melancholy again.

He felt miserable and wondered when he could ever reach the top and hold power like Yuan Wei.
