Boom!
In the Mu Mansion of Jizhou, Yuan Shao smashed a newspaper on the table and said angrily,"
"We tried our best to coerce and bribe Yue Danping to work for us. Who knew that Liu Bian's newspaper would be able to destroy the rumors we created!”
After the newspaper was published, the aristocratic families 'plan to use the monthly review to slander Liu Bian fell through. Moreover, it caused a backlash, causing the common people and scholars to criticize Yue Dan.
Although the aristocratic families were behind the scenes and were considered the masterminds, they were not greatly affected.
However, the evidence of Yuan Kui's crimes listed in the newspaper pointed directly at the Yuan family. As the representative of the aristocratic families, the Yuan family's reputation was completely ruined.
Liu Bian had killed the unforgivable Yuan Kui and implicated the entire Yuan family. This was also within the acceptable range of the common people and scholars.
Liu Bian was not cruel and heartless, nor was he a fatuous ruler. Instead, he had killed the Yuan Family, the vermin of the empire, which made people talk about it with relish!
Many commoners already felt that Liu Bian was a wise ruler, a mighty and resourceful ruler!
Xu You looked at the contents of the newspaper and shook her head.""Your Majesty, by relying on the newspaper to prove your innocence, you can obviously change the views of the scholars in the world on Your Majesty.
"Who knows what kind of education reform His Majesty will introduce? The Confucian classics that we once studied, the Four Books and Five Classics, etc., will end up on the same level as mathematics, physics, and other miscellaneous studies.
"This move will definitely arouse the anger of the scholars in the world. We don't even need to continue slandering them. The scholars will criticize His Majesty in word and in writing!”
Yuan Shao snorted coldly." Liu Bian, you little brat. You've implemented the imperial examination system and selected the wise according to their abilities. This is a brilliant plan." Taking advantage of the purge of the aristocratic families, there was no obstruction.
"It's a pity that he's too impatient. Now that the world's heroes and dukes are worrying about having no reason, isn't this giving us a chance to raise an army?”
The impact of Yue Danping slandering Liu Bian had spread far and wide.
Yuan Shao originally wanted to call on the dukes to purge the side of the monarch, but who knew that the newspaper would appear. It directly broke the rumors that Liu Bian was a fatuous ruler.
They had thought that they would need to think of other countermeasures and find an opportunity to " justify themselves ", but Liu Bian's education reform had given them another opportunity.
Yuan Shao was somewhat speechless, not understanding what Liu Bian was thinking.
"Benchu!" Xu You said excitedly. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. We can also use this as an excuse to purge the emperor.
"Let's say that the Emperor was deceived by treacherous officials and favored crafty sycophants. Those eunuchs wanted to take this opportunity to attack the scholars of the world, so they introduced such educational reforms. Their goal was to consume the scholars and dominate the court.”
This reason was full of loopholes, but Yuan Shao only needed an opportunity to "justify" himself, and this reason was already very good.
Yuan Shao nodded and then looked at the aide below.""Does anyone have any other opinions?"
After Yuan Shao seized Jizhou, he smoothly accepted Han Fu's team. There were top strategists such as Tian Feng, Zhang He, Gao Lan, and other top generals. The lineup was very strong.
However, in this life, because of Liu Bian's sudden appearance, there were many butterfly effects. As a result, the Yuan family's disguise was torn off, and Han Fuyuan's team was very disdainful of Yuan Shao.
Now that the situation was stronger than them, they could only submit to Yuan Shao on the surface. His heart was in Han.
Even though many of the top strategists had other opinions about Yuan Shao's inquiry, they did not have any thoughts of giving advice.
Each and every one of their perfunctory methods made Yuan Shao extremely furious in his heart. He also needed a battle to prove himself, just like how Liu Bian slaughtered the Western Liang army in the northern suburbs.
Yuan Shao wanted to give the order just now, but the thirteen slayers requested an audience. Yuan Shao immediately dismissed his aides and generals and met the thirteen slayers in the back hall.
These thirteen slayers had all done some shady deeds for him, so it was naturally impossible for them to make it public.
"How did it go?" Yuan Shao asked anxiously.
Sun Bugong cupped his hands and bowed. The Xianbei King Kebineng and the Xiongnu King Zuoxian Yu Fuluo have agreed to send troops to the Great Han Dynasty to harass the border of the Great Han Dynasty for the sake of our fellow disciples. They will send troops to the capital to help the general!”
"That's great!" Yuan Shao was overjoyed.
Yuan Shao was afraid that the capital would be in trouble, and Liu Bian would transfer the border troops back to defend.
As long as the Xianbei army and Xiongnu army invaded the border, the border soldiers would be unable to take care of themselves. Their attack on the capital would be foolproof!
Secondly, the border was being attacked by Xianbei, Xiongnu and other races, so perhaps they could transfer Liu Bian's Snow Dragon Cavalry to the border.
This was a plan to kill three birds with one stone!
"I owe you a favor for this.”Yuan Shao looked gratefully at Sun Bugong." Help me thank the Netherworld Divine Lord!"”
Sun Bugong, the Xianbei King, and the Xiongnu Left Sage King, Yu Fuluo, were all disciples of the Netherworld Divine Lord.
"General Yuan, you are too kind."
"How's the Zhen family?" Yuan Shao asked Ouyang.”
" I'm sorry, General Yuan. Someone suddenly came to our rescue and allowed the Zhen family to escape…" Ouyang Da said with some resentment.
After Yuan Shao seized Jizhou, besides taking over Han Fu's original team, he also had to clean up Jizhou. At the same time, he would be in complete control of the Zhen family.
The Zhen family was one of the aristocratic families. They controlled the trade, food, salt, and iron north of the Yellow River, as well as the warhorses outside the Great Wall. They belonged to the richest tycoons in the world.
Compared to the Mi Family, the Zhen Family was much more difficult to deal with. Yuan Shao wanted the Zhen family to be used by him, but unfortunately, the Zhen family was not restrained at all.
Time was tight, so Yuan Shao could only send the 13 slayers to deal with the Zhen family's armed forces without anyone knowing, forcing them to join Yuan Shao.
Who knew that the thirteen slayers were all peerless experts. With such a lineup, they could still let the Zhen family's direct descendants escape?
"Who saved him?" Yuan Shao was furious.
The " hero saving the damsel in distress " plan that he had created to use the thirteen murderers to force the Zhen family into a corner, and then he, Yuan Shao, would lend a helping hand to make the Zhen family cry tears of gratitude was directly ruined because of this person's interference.
"Zhao Zilong of Chang Mountain!"
Ouyang Da looked furious." General Yuan, please rest assured. We have already sent people to track down this person. We will deal with this reckless youth ourselves and the Zhen family at the same time!"”
"Zhao Zilong of Chang Mountain?" Yuan Shao frowned and pondered deeply. He did not have this person in his mind at all. He nodded and said,"Zhen family's business is extremely important to me, don't be careless!”
"We understand!" Ouyang Da nodded." Dugu Wei has already brought people to investigate. We'll find out soon."”
At this moment, a messenger pigeon flapped its wings and flew over. Superintendent Ouyang immediately took it. This was the contact method of the thirteen slayers.
" I found Zhao Zilong's whereabouts!" Superintendent Ouyang looked at the thirteen slayers around him and said angrily," We can't let him escape again this time!”
"Set off immediately!" Sun Bugong nodded.
