Yuan Shao was not blind about the matter of the eldest son and the third son fighting for the throne in the family. He was naturally very clear in his heart.
Regarding this matter, Yuan Shao was actually very conflicted. On one hand, since ancient times, he had always been the eldest son. On the other hand, he also liked the third son very much. In addition, with Liu-shi blowing his pillow hair, Yuan Shao was somewhat uncertain about this matter.
However, knowing it in his heart was one thing, and picking it out in the open was another.
Just as Yuan Xi had said, Yuan Shao was still the master of the household, and the civil officials under his command had all begun to stand on his side and fawn over him. Moreover, they were so arrogant that they did not even put their second son in their eyes.
If he were to wait until he ascended the throne in the future, wouldn't these civil officials 'tails be raised to the sky?
Yuan Xi saw that Yuan Shao was angry and continued to talk to himself,
"Old Weng is in the prime of his life, and his body is in good shape! To be honest, the little calculations in the hearts of you officials are a little too early.”
"Don't think that my words are unpleasant. I'm the second son anyway, and I don't expect to inherit the family business. I don't have to build a good relationship with you and curry favor with you. I just have to be filial to my father.”
"Perhaps the eldest and third brothers will flatter you when they see you, but I'm different. I'm called unselfish, so be polite when you talk to me in the future.”
"You want to step on me? Then I'll complain to Old Weng and see whose backer is stronger.”
After everyone heard Yuan Xi's words, they all looked at each other.
The reason why Yuan Xi acted like this was because he wanted to show his political stance and attitude in front of everyone.
I, Yuan Xi, do not intend to inherit the family business.
In this way, he was telling the people of the eldest and the third brother not to provoke him. He was not their enemy and they would mind their own business in the future.
He pulled himself out of the whirlpool of the battle for the throne and stood aloof from the matter.
In this way, not only did the eldest and the third not dare to offend him, but they also had to curry favor with Yuan Xi to obtain the support of their allies.
Secondly, it was a performance for Yuan Shao.
You see, the second son is so filial, firmly supporting you, and even voluntarily giving up on inheriting the family business. Yuan Shao will definitely feel indebted in his heart, and will definitely think of ways to compensate Yuan Xi in the future.
"Did you hear what Xianyi said?”Yuan Shao asked with a dark face.
"I heard you clearly." Everyone quickly agreed.
"If I hear anyone bullying my son in the future, hmph!”This cold snort was Yuan Shao's warning to everyone.
"I wouldn't dare."
Guo Tu and Feng Ji broke out in a cold sweat. They didn't expect that trampling on a powerless Yuan Xi would cause so much trouble. They had to be more careful in the future and not provoke this living King of Hell.
"My son, you haven't told me how to deal with your uncle's matter.”Yuan Shao asked.
The two suggestions given by the counselor put Yuan Shao in a dilemma, so he especially wanted to hear his son's opinion now.
"Old Weng, uncle is a member of the Yuan family and is also Old Weng's younger brother. Now that he has no choice, he has come to seek refuge with Old Weng.
It was a good time to show that Ah Weng was broad-minded and forgave the past. Ah Weng should accept his uncle so that the world could see Ah Weng's magnanimity.”
Yuan Xi learned from Tian Feng's lesson. When giving advice, he would bring in private goods and praise Yuan Shao more. Only then would Yuan Shao be able to listen.
"My son, Gao Lun!" Yuan Shao stroked his beard and smiled.
"Isn't that the same as my opinion?”Guo Tu curled his lips and whispered.
Although his voice was not loud, his words were just right for everyone to hear.
Yuan Shao revealed a displeased expression. He wanted to reprimand Guo Tu and defend his son, but when he thought about what Guo Tu said, he did not know what to do. He could only look at Yuan Xi again.
"No!" Yuan Xi said with a smile.”
"Accepting my uncle is because my father is mindful of the brotherhood between us. Blood is thicker than water, not because I want to accept the other party's title.”
"My father controls the four northern provinces, has a million people, a hundred thousand soldiers, and a thousand good generals. He will sweep the world and restore the mountains and rivers sooner or later.”
"If Ah Weng accepts uncle's abdication of the title of emperor, who will be the founding emperor after you unify the world?”
"When you and uncle are a hundred years old, will the ancestral temple name be given to you? Or should I give it to uncle?"
"Since ancient times, this child has only heard of the son inheriting the throne after the death of the father, but I have never heard of an elder brother inheriting the throne from a younger brother.”
"If you inherit uncle's title, wouldn't it be the greatest joke in the world?”
"So in my humble opinion, you can accept it, but don't mention the matter of inheriting the throne!”
"Moreover, although the Han Dynasty exists in name only, its fate has not been cut off. It is too early to claim the title of emperor now. Uncle is a good negative example.
Of course, with Old Weng's intelligence, how could he not know? I'm the one who talked too much and made you laugh.”Yuan Xilin did not forget to praise Yuan Shao.
When Yuan Shao heard Yuan Xi's words, his heart felt as if it had eaten honey.
"My son is right! The world today was a world of great competition! Who doesn't want to be the emperor?"
"However, even if I want to be the emperor, I have to personally conquer thousands of miles of land and then officially ascend the throne!”
"Yuan Gonglu? A small Zhong Emperor, living in a corner, the title of emperor of a small country, I, Yuan Benchu, am not interested in it!”
At this moment, Yuan Shao could not help being lofty and high-spirited.
