This time, Yuan Xi's plan was very successful. He used the rumors to defame himself and successfully pushed the blame onto King Zhao.
After getting through Yuan Shao, he directly eliminated the King of Zhao, greatly weakening the strength of the Liu mother and son.
However, Yuan Xi did pay a price. First, his head was almost split open, and it was a close shave. Secondly, Yuan Xi's reputation was ruined because of his self-deprecation.
He had become a jinx in the mouths of the people of Ye City, a jinx and an ominous person.
This situation had to be quickly reversed, otherwise, if he really succeeded Yuan Shao's position in the future, there would be strong opposition from the people.
The current rulers were very superstitious, let alone the common people. The people of Ye City, Jizhou, and Hebei would not be willing to let a jinx rule them.
"My lord, what orders do you have for me?”Zhao Yun quickly rushed over.
Yuan Xi had been staying in the Great General's residence these days, and Zhao Yun, as a personal guard, had been standing guard outside the courtyard.
"Continue to spread the news in the city."
"Or is it about you, my lord?”Zhao Yun asked.
"That's right, but this time it's about my childhood." Yuan Xi nodded.”
Zhen Mi couldn't help but reveal a curious expression. She was obviously very interested in Yuan Xi's childhood.
Yuan Xi began to narrate the tragic childhood of the dead Yuan Xi.
The eighteen torture methods of the vicious woman Liu-shi were displayed one by one, making Zhao Yun's hair stand on end.
"There's actually such a vicious person?! Damn it!" Zhao Yun finally couldn't help but curse.
"My Lord, please forgive me... I really couldn't hold it in, please punish me!”
Zhao Yun immediately reacted. No matter what, Liu-shi was still Yuanxi's stepmother. It was very disrespectful for him to curse Liu-shi in front of Yuanxi.
"It's fine. You're right. I've had enough.”
"Did you remember to spread these things among the people?”Yuan Xi asked.
"It's unforgettable!"
Yuan Xi's story was so tragic that it left a deep impression on Zhao Yun.
"Go ahead." Yuan Xi waved his hand.
Yuan Xi's goal this time was very simple. It was to arouse the sympathy of the people of Ye City.
In the hearts of the people of Ye City, Yuan Xi was already a jinx. If he were to create a filial son persona now, no one would believe him at all. It was better to create a tragic character to arouse the sympathy of the people and win their sympathy first.
He wanted to change his image among the people of Ye City and then reverse it again to create a sense of contrast.
It was just like how many incidents that appeared on the internet in the future would always be reversed, reversed, and then reversed under the watchful eyes of netizens. They would constantly increase the topic of discussion to increase the popularity of the incident, and finally, they would throw out a shocking ending.
Yuan Xi had experienced this kind of thing many times in his later life, so he naturally learned it without a teacher.
Moreover, the common people of today were much easier to fool than the netizens of the future. Moreover, this matter was related to the Yuan family. If such a wealthy family were to smash the melon, it was estimated that the people of Ye City would be stuffed.
Hugs from husband ~"
Just as Yuan Xi was thinking about something else, Zhen Mi suddenly hugged Yuan Xi and started crying.
"Ah ~" Yuan Xi couldn't help but have a headache. Why was his little wife crying again?"What's wrong now?"”
"My husband had a hard time when he was young ~ Mi 'er's heart aches for my husband…Mi 'er will take good care of her husband in the future!”Zhen Mi cried as she said firmly.
"Uh... Alright." Yuan Xi didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Yuan Xi was indeed very miserable when she was young, but she didn't experience it herself, so she could describe it in a nonchalant tone and didn't have too deep feelings.
However, it was completely different in Zhao Yun and Zhen Mi's ears.
How tragic! It was really too tragic! It was simply a cry.
However, this also showed Yuan Xi's childhood experiences. Once it spread in Ye City, it would definitely cause a huge wave and gain the sympathy of the people without any problem.
"Alright, stop crying. I really don't know if your tears are stored in advance and can flow out directly whenever you need them.”Yuan Xi teased Zhen Mi, and Zhen Mi rolled her eyes at him.
"Go and inform Old Weng and Hua Tuo to come over.”
"Yes ~"
During this period of time, Yuan Xi's movements had been restricted. Zhen Mi had almost become Yuan Xi's messenger, and he needed Zhen Mi to convey everything.
However, Zhen Mi also informed the servant girls at the door that the real errands would be done by the servant girls themselves.
Not long after, Hua Tuo and Yuan Shao arrived together.
"My son, how do you feel now?”
"I'm sorry for making you worry. I'm feeling very well now and I expect to recover very soon.”Seeing Yuan Shao extremely worried, Yuan Xi immediately comforted him.
Hearing Yuan Xi's words, Yuan Shao also heaved a sigh of relief.
At this time, Hua Tuo had finished checking Yuan Xi's pulse, checked the wound, and changed the new medicine.
"Great General, Second Young Master is recovering very well. I think it won't take long for him to recover.”
"Godly doctor, how long will it take for me to recover?”Yuan Xi asked.
"This…" Hua Tuo pondered for a moment and said," Even if you're injured, you'll need a hundred days to recover. Second Young Master, you've injured your head this time. You'd better recuperate as much as you can."”
"How can that be? Wasn't this delaying things? Miracle Doctor, please think of a way to help me recover within a month.”Yuan Xi hurriedly stood up and said.
"What are you in a hurry for? Stay at home and rest." Yuan Shao reprimanded with a glare.
"Old Weng, I'm just afraid of delaying my appointment! Youzhou has just been conquered, and I still have to monitor the situation in Youzhou for you.”Yuan Xi said bitterly.
"No need! You just need to rest well. I have many civil officials under me.”Hearing this, Yuan Shao felt warm inside. He didn't expect that Yuan Xi was still thinking about Youzhou.
"How can that do? How can my subordinates be more reliable than my son? The provincial governor supervised the affairs of a state. Once they protected each other, wouldn't they deceive Ah Weng?”Yuan Xi still insisted.
"Isn't your brother-in-law going to Ji County to be the county magistrate? He could be considered a family member and was directly promoted to provincial governor.”Yuan Shao waved his hand and said.
Yuan Xi was delighted when he heard this. He didn't expect to have such an unexpected gain.
The reason why Yuan Xi brought up the matter of the Youzhou governor was that he did not want to go to his post and wanted Yuan Shao to bring it up so that he could stay in Ye City.
It was not bad to be in charge of a region, but as long as Yuan Shao was alive, even if he became a provincial governor, he would not have any administrative power and would not be able to develop his own power. It was better to stay in Ye City and stay by Yuan Shao's side.
Ye City was the center of power in Hebei, and Yuan Shao was the center of the center, which was the power itself.
The closer he was to the center of power, the easier it was to obtain power.
Just as he was about to agree, he suddenly stopped.
There must be something wrong with this abnormal situation!
Letting Zhen Yan directly become a provincial governor from a county magistrate was too big of a leap. Even if it was an exceptional promotion, it would not be promoted like this.
"The old man is testing himself!" Yuan Xi was shocked.
