The next day, the morning sun had just risen, and the morning dew had yet to disperse.
Yuan Shao slowly opened his eyes and found that there was no one beside him. Recalling what happened last night, he quickly got up."Zilong? Zilong?"
"My lord, what's the matter?" Zhao Yun had already finished washing up and came in dressed.
"Zilong…get ready. You and Dian Wei will go to court with me.”Yuan Shao quickly stood up and said to Zhao Yun as he put on his clothes.
"Yes!" Zhao Yun nodded and closed the door.
Fifteen minutes later, in the courtyard of the front yard.
Yuan Shao saw that everyone had arrived and greeted,""Gong Ji, did Bujun sleep well last night?”
Pa! Yan Liang, Wen Chou, and the others lowered their heads and cupped their fists."Thank you, my lord, for your concern.”
"That's good. How about this, when I go to court, Uncle Fu…bring Gong Ji and Bujun to the best blacksmith shop in Luoyang City and help them forge two sets of Mingguang Armor. When he returned, he would bring them to the stable and choose two good Western Liang warhorses for them to ride on. How can a warrior not have a good horse?" Yuan Shao suddenly remembered that Yan Liang and Wen Chou didn't have warhorses and armor to protect themselves, so he instructed Uncle Fu.
"This old servant understands." Uncle Fu replied with his long beard.
"My lord, this…isn't very good, right?" When Yan Liang heard this, he felt like a scholar would die for his confidant.
"Hey! So what? Horses and armor are the second life of a general. You two brothers have actually sought refuge with me. How can I mistreat you?”Yuan Shao waved his hand and said.
"That's right. The lord treats his subordinates as warmly as spring. If the two of you feel that you don't deserve it, just kill more enemies in the future.”Guo Jia had followed Yuan Shao for a long time, so he could understand some modern terms at once.
"Thank you for your reward, my lord. We will definitely be the first to ascend the mountain in every battle. To repay my lord's great kindness." Yan Liang, Wen Chou, and the others knelt on one knee and cupped their fists.
"Get up quickly. We're all family.”Yuan Shao walked forward with a smile and pulled Yan Liang and Wen Chou up.
"Mancheng, I'll leave the family to you during my time in court.”Yuan Shao didn't forget about Li Dian.
"Please rest assured, my lord. Dian will ensure the safety of Yuan Manor.”Li Dian held the helmet in his right hand and patted his chest with his left hand.
"My lord, Luoyang City is already in the midst of a storm. We still need to bring more guards when we go out.”Guo Jia advised Yuan Shao with a rare serious expression.
"You're right. How about this, I'll bring a hundred personal guards and Dian Wei will make the arrangements.”Yuan Shao thought for a while, it was not far from Dong Zhuo entering the capital, so he instructed Dian Wei.
"I'll make the arrangements now, Li Guo. Fan Yong brought a hundred personal guards to protect the lord's safety.”Dian Wei called out to the two people not far away.
"Yes! Commander Dian."
Soon, the hundred or so personal guards had gathered. Yuan Shao mounted his horse and waved his brocade robe.""Zilong, Dian Wei, let's go."
"Yes!" Zhao Yun and Dian Wei also mounted their horses.
——
Luoyang North Palace, Chongde Hall.
"If there's anything, then report. If there's nothing, then withdraw." Little Yellow Gate's sharp and high-pitched voice spread throughout the entire hall.
Yuan Shao stood up and held a wooden board in his hand. He faced Young Emperor Han and Empress Dowager He, who was sitting behind him, and said,"I! Yuan Shao, the commander of the Si Li, has a memorial."
"Yuan Qing, please speak?" The Young Emperor of Han raised his hand stiffly.
"Shang Tang used Yi Yin, and Ji Fa used Lu Shang. Both of them are wise kings at that time, so Your Majesty should be close to virtuous ministers and alienate villains. This is the reason why the Han Dynasty flourished. It was the decline of the Han Dynasty to be close to villains and alienate virtuous ministers. I implore Your Majesty to issue an edict to kill the ten constant attendants and help the country. It is just around the corner.”Yuan Shao organized his words and spoke slowly.
"Talking about Yuan Benchu! Are you saying that His Majesty is not wise?" Empress Dowager He angrily slammed the table, stood up, and pointed at Yuan Shao.
"I dare not. This subject has been sighing day and night, afraid that the four hundred years of the Darkhan Dynasty would be ruined by the hands of a mere eunuch party. Your Majesty, Empress Dowager, for the continuation of the Great Han Dynasty, this subject pleads to kill the Ten Attendants!”After Yuan Shao finished speaking, he directly knelt down.
"This minister reconsidered! I implore Your Majesty to issue an edict to kill the Ten Attendants!”
"Ministers reconsider!" Two-thirds of the officials in the court knelt down with wooden boards in their hands.
"You…you guys are so bold! How dare you force me to abdicate!" Empress Dowager He was so angry that she went crazy. She actually lifted the bead curtain and walked out with a furious look on her face.
"We dare not! We are only doing this for the sake of the Great Han Dynasty and for the sake of preventing the Darkhan Dynasty from falling into the hands of the eunuchs!”The officials raised their boards and said.
"Eunuch party! Eunuch Party! You keep saying that we are eunuchs and traitors? Then you children of aristocratic families are not at fault? And you, Yuan Benchu, why are you forcing me? Why?" Zhang Rang, who was standing at the side, couldn't help but stand up and point at Yuan Shao's nose to scold him. The more he scolded, the more energetic he became.
"Attendant Zhang, the late Emperor often called Attendant Zhang my father. I also heard that in the first year of Zhongping, Meng Tuo, a man of Fufeng, had a rich family property. He became friends with Zhang Changshi's prison slave and gave everything he had to the prison slave, leaving nothing he loved. The prison slave thanked him and asked Meng Tuo: What do you want? I can do it for you. Meng Tuo said,"I only hope that you will bow to me." At that time, the guests who requested to see Attendant Zhang often had thousands of carriages parked at the door. Meng Tuo asked to see Zhang Changshi, but because he arrived later, he could not enter. The prison slave led the servants to greet Meng Tuo on the road and carried his carriage through the door together. The guests were very surprised and thought that Meng Tuo and Zhang Rang were very close, so they all competed to bribe him with treasures and strange toys. Meng Tuo gave all the treasures to Zhang Changshi. Zhang Changshi was overjoyed and made Meng Tuo the governor of Liangzhou. I wonder…is there such a thing?" Yuan Shao said playfully.
"You! You're slandering me! There was absolutely no such thing! Your Majesty. This is Yuan Benchu framing me!”Zhang Rang immediately became anxious when he heard that. He was so angry that he almost couldn't take it anymore.
"Your Majesty, we'll know once we investigate. I just don't know if Attendant Zhang…dares to do it?”When Yuan Shao held the board in his hand and reported, he deliberately glared at Zhang Rang.
"Alright! Stop arguing. What are you talking about? Is this a market?" Empress Dowager He saw that things were out of control and hurriedly called out.
"I dare not!" Yuan Shao said with a wooden board in his hand.
"Well, I'll leave this matter to the chief justice. Alright, that's all for today. Let's retire.”Empress Dowager He hurriedly stood up and left.
"Retreat!" Little Yellow Gate shouted sharply.
"We respectfully send off His Majesty and the Empress Dowager.”The officials bowed.
During court session, Cao Mengde suddenly walked over. When he saw Zhao Yun behind Yuan Shao, his eyes lit up. He then said to Yuan Shao,"Benchu, you were so mighty just now."
"Meng De, you're pointing fingers at the mulberry tree and scolding the locust tree.”Yuan Shao smiled and put his arm around Cao Cao's shoulder.
"Hey, how can you say that? You, Yuan Benchu, are the third duke of the fourth generation. You're a famous family in the world and a role model for the world. "Oh, right, this…handsome general is…" Cao Mengde suddenly changed the topic and asked.
Cao Mengde! Do you think I don't know what you're thinking?
"This is my confidant, Zhao Zilong of Changshan.”Yuan Shao grabbed Zhao Yun's hand and introduced her to Cao Mengde.
"Is that so? Ben Chu…was really blessed. You're so lucky!" Cao Mengde's words had a hidden meaning, and he quickened his pace.
"Meng De, see you at the General's Estate!”Yuan Shao let go of Zhao Yun's hand and shouted at Cao Cao.
"See you!"
——
General Manor, Meeting Hall.
Sima Pan Yin, Chen Lin, Xun You, Cao Mengde, Yuan Shao, and others sat down.
"Great General has arrived!"
Everyone stood up and said,"Welcome, Great General!"”
He Jin looked around and nodded in satisfaction. He walked to the main seat and sat down. He asked,"Now that the Empress Dowager is going to protect the eunuchs, what should I do?”
Yuan Shao stood up and pondered for a moment. He cupped his fists and said,"You can summon the brave warriors from all over the world to enter the capital and threaten Empress Dowager He to make her submit.”
"This plan is very good, I will do it immediately.”He Jin stroked his beard and agreed with Yuan Shao's plan.
"No! You can't do that. Now, the general has the authority of the emperor and holds the military power. Whether it's high or low, it's all in your heart. Instead, he abandoned his weapon and looked for external help?”Chen Lin objected.
"What do you know? Since you're a junior, I won't blame you today. You should leave quickly.”He Jin said unhappily.
"Killing a few eunuchs only requires one jailer. Why do you have to summon others to the capital? This is the way to bring disaster.”Commandant Cao Mengde also stood up to object.
"What a coward!" said He Jin with a smile.”
"I've decided. There's no need to mention it." He Jin immediately said.
Commandant Cao Mengde stood up and left. When he walked out of the meeting hall, Cao Mengde's face was gloomy. He spat on the ground and said disdainfully,""Those who disrupt the world will definitely advance."
