MTL - Three Kingdoms-Chapter 3 Each has its own abacus

  Chapter 3 each has its own calculation

   "Hmm... My Gongliang is useless... Hiss..." An old man with gray hair muttered while pinching his beard.

Cui Hou respectfully said: "Yes, my lord, I saw that this book was placed on the desk of that Zhuzi, and I must have read it often, but that Zhuzi took me to read other books about classics, history and elegance. If you don't talk about this book, there must be something strange, I was afraid of arousing his suspicion, so I came back first—but I can't remember where this sentence came from?"

The old man, the father of Cui Hou, Cui Yi raised his head, squinted his eyes, and said in silence for a long time: "It seems that it is right to ask you to test it out. This son really has other secrets. It is not your fault if you don't recognize this book, because it is not in the book. According to history, I suspect that this sentence comes from..."

  Cui Yi opened his eyes suddenly, but lowered his voice very low, as if he was afraid of being heard by others: "... Hu, Fei, Zi..."

   "Oh, ah!" Cui Hou was shocked, "... Hu, Hu Feizi? Could it be that Hu Feizi that Father is talking about? So, this Zhuzi got it—"

   "Shut up!" Cui Yi glared.

  Cui Hou knew that he had lost his composure, so he quickly lowered his voice: "So, what father suspects may be true?"

Cui Yi nodded: "It is said that Hu Feizi was skillful at imperial objects, leaving behind five braves, seven craftsmen and eighteen methods, but many of them have been lost... This son's family is mediocre, and he suddenly produced such an exquisite treasure. The so-called family biography is mostly an excuse... Glass is fragile It is difficult to carve, but the pattern of this glazed bead is seamless, without the imprint of the knife and axe..."

"I suspect that this son has obtained Hu Fei's secret technique in all likelihood... In a few days, you might as well invite this son to come to the village, and try it out as a father. Okay, when this son is not at home, check it carefully, be careful, don't let him find out."

   "Father, what do you want to check?" Cui Hou still didn't quite understand.

  Cui Yi is a little helpless, why is he so stupid, but he is his own son after all, so he has the patience to make a point: "... there must be utensils for making things! Search in hidden places to see if there are any unusual things—understand?"

   "Wei!"

  In a large-scale and magnificent mansion in the city, another old man in fine clothes is also teaching his children, but this one is not so good-tempered.

   "Stupid! Stupid!"

  The old man was furious and knocked on the ground with his crutches angrily. All the servants inside and outside the hall immediately fell to their knees and prostrated themselves on the ground, not daring to raise their heads, not even daring to move.

  This "stupid man" also quickly fell to his knees, knelt and climbed a few steps forward, and kowtowed: "My lord uncle, please calm down! My lord uncle, please calm down!"

  Everyone inside and outside the hall also kowtowed in unison: "Master Taifu, please calm down! Master Taifu, please calm down!"

   For a moment, everything was quiet inside and outside the hall, and inside and outside the courtyard. Everyone was trembling and did not dare to make any sound.

   Only heard the heavy panting of the current imperial tutor, Lord Yuan Kai.

   "...Cao Aman! Cao Aman's words! Is your surname Yuan or Cao? Cao Aman told you to eat arrows and you would eat them too?!"

   This is really a heart-breaking remark, Yuan Shao was so frightened that he kowtowed on the ground again and again: "My child dare not! My child is guilty!"

  Yuan Kui calmed down his breath slightly, and let the servants inside and outside the hall retreat far away, and then said in a deep voice: "'But paying a jailer is enough'-it's too much to say!...The butcher heard this method?"

   "General He... Then Butcher He—seems a little moved..."

   "Okay, okay, okay!" Yuan Kai sneered a few times, staring at Yuan Shao who was kneeling on the ground in front of him, "Then did you have anything to say?"

  Yuan Shao shivered for a moment, although he didn't look up, he seemed to be able to feel Yuan Kai's piercing gaze, and replied in a low voice: "...boy, boy...haven't said anything..."

   "Stupid! Stupid! What use are you for!" Yuan Kai became angry again, and smashed Yuan Shao on the back with his crutches.

  Yuan Shao didn't dare to hide for a while, so he could only grit his teeth and resist, and he had to keep persuading: "The child is stupid, the child is guilty! Uncle, please calm down..."

After all, Yuan Kui was old and tired after only a few hits, he yelled, "Zhuzi is a bad guy and a good thing!" Although he had no strength to fight, he was still puzzled and kicked Yuan Shao to the side, "Don't you usually boast that you are smart? , why can't you even see such subtotals?"

  Yuan Shao quickly got up and knelt down again, not daring to say a word.

   "Go and talk to the butcher quickly, don't forget about Dou Wu's past! Don't stop, you will suffer!"

   "Wei!" Yuan Shao quickly got up, didn't dare to lift his head, bent over, and retreated out the door like a servant, before turning around and leaving.

Because he was walking in a hurry, when he reached the gate of the yard, he almost collided with a servant who was waiting at the gate. Yuan Shao, who was holding back his stomach, didn't even think about it, kicked the unlucky servant down, and left in a hurry .

   But this scene was seen by a young man in Huayi who turned out from behind the screen in the hall, and sneered slightly, "It's just playing prestige in front of the servants..."

  Mr. Hua Yi walked up to Yuan Kui, saluted and said, "Master Uncle."

  Yuan Kai nodded and motioned Mr. Hua Yi to sit down: "Shu'er, what do you think of this matter?"

The man in Huayi was Yuan Shu, straightened his clothes, sat on the table in a graceful manner, and said: "This is Cao Aman's plan to slow down the army. After all, Cao Aman's surname is Cao!" Cao Song, the father of Cao Cao, was the adopted son of the great **** Cao Teng, and the great **** Cao Teng is simply a typical representative of successful eunuchs. He has served four emperors and was named Fei Tinghou! A **** Lord Hou! This made the Yuan family, the gentry who regarded themselves as Qingliu, feel very embarrassed.

  Yuan Shu's meaning is also very clear. Cao Cao was born in a family of eunuchs, so how could he sincerely make suggestions for the great cause of eliminating eunuchs?

  Yuan Kai nodded slightly, with a little satisfaction on his face, "Shu'er's words are exactly what I want. It's not difficult to capture with jailers, but if you can't get out, who can give orders?"

   For the cause of killing eunuchs, Cao Cao came up with a bad idea. Who is the eunuch? It is a group of people who are closest to the emperor, who can kill eunuchs with a single order? Only the emperor. But the current emperor Liu Bian is young and has just become emperor, so he wants to order the killing of those close to him who served him before. Is this possible?

Previously, He Jin killed Jian Shuo in the name of Jian Shuo's coercive edict against Han Lingdi's last wish, which was more or less worthy of his moral reputation. Killing all the eunuchs in power, how can a jailer be able to do it?

   "What my uncle said is very true. Cao A's concealment is nothing more than fear of punishing everyone and breaking his foundation. It's a pity that the elder brother can't detect it..."

   "Incompetent bastard, don't mention him!"

   "Wei." Yuan Shu agreed, and immediately smiled, "Master Uncle, I just happened to buy a treasure in the city a few days ago, and now I am here to present it to Uncle."

  Yuan Wei shook his hand, Fang appeared a little happy, "If there are any treasures, you just keep them, and you don't lack uncles, it's enough if you have such a heart."

   "If that's the case, uncle, don't disappoint Shu!" Yuan Shu said with a smile, and turned his head to the door and shouted, "Come here, present the things I brought!"

  Yuan Shao sat in the carriage, the more he thought about it, the more furious he became, and he punched the carriage angrily, scaring the guard who was driving the carriage, and hurriedly stopped to ask.

  Yuan Shao replied in a muffled voice that the guards had nothing to do and continued walking, but his heart was boiling like a boiling pot.

  Of course I know whether Cao A’s idea is good or bad, but what’s the benefit of me poking it out?

  Cao Aman is right. To kill an eunuch, you only need to call a jailer, but what about killing all the eunuchs? Who is qualified to order the arrest and killing of eunuchs, only the emperor. But the question is will the emperor give this order? The emperor is still young, so he only listens to Empress Dowager He, and it is said that several eunuchs have contributed a lot to He's ability to be empress dowager, so how could he order to kill all eunuchs?

   What's more, if all the eunuchs are eliminated here, will there be no new eunuchs in power after the next day? Talking about righteousness, saying that it is all for the country and the community, but in fact it is not for selfish desires! It's nothing more than the fact that the old man was humiliated by Zhang Rang and others before, and now he is gaining power and is not forgiving!

  Although it is said that Jian Shuo, the captain of the eighth school of Xiyuan, the captain of the military school, has been executed, but after all, the eunuchs have been in business for many years, and there are too many former officials among them. Extinguishing the eunuchs will undoubtedly cause chaos. That's why the old man sent Dong Zhuo from Kansai to Beijing to weigh in, in case of accidents.

  Yuan Shao sighed deeply, Cao Aman, I can't help you this time, it seems that the old man is determined to fight the eunuchs forever.

  For Yuan Shao, the desire to get rid of eunuchs is far less strong than the desire to gain benefits for himself. He has not experienced the disaster of the party when the eunuchs were in power, and he does not hate eunuchs to the bone like his uncle Yuan Kai.

  Yuan Shao is far less handsome at home than outside. He just wears the cloak of being the eldest son and grandson, but at home, he is still a bastard, and it is his brother's son Yuan Shu who is actually favored.

   Participating in the dirty work, the benefits are pitiful! For example, the Yuan family thought highly of themselves and didn't want to have too much contact with He Jin who was born as a butcher. He stepped forward and killed Yuan Shu, and kept his beloved Yuan Shu by his side.

  Yuan Shao basically didn't feel the warmth of his relatives at home, only felt the friendship of some friends at Cao Aman's side, which was one of the reasons why he didn't expose Cao Aman.

  Killing Jian Shuo, helping Liu Xie to the throne, and summoning Dong Zhuo to Beijing, behind all of this there are traces of operations by the Qingliu represented by the Yuan family. Yuan Shao is just a puppet pushed out by these Qingliu.

   But after all, he was the one who said these ideas on the surface, if something bad happened in the future, it would be Yuan Shao who should bear the blame.

  Yuan Shao knew it in his heart, but helplessly, he didn't even have the right to say no. If he hadn't been pushed out to be a puppet, he wouldn't even be qualified to enjoy the glamorous coat of the Yuan family.

   This is the sorrow of the bastard.

  But even so, so what!

  Yuan Shao clenched his fists, his face was ferocious, and he was screaming wildly in his heart——

  I, Yuan Shao, Yuan Benchu, the only way is to seize every opportunity, go up, go up!

  I, Yuan Shao, Yuan Benchu, must get rid of this cage and create my own world!

  I, Yuan Shao, Yuan Benchu, I will let everyone in the world know my name, let those who bully me and humiliate me, and let the whole world prostrate at my feet!
