Chapter 495
Yuan Shu heard this and remembered his embarrassing past.
He waved his hand while others hadn't understood the reason yet:
"We don't have this tradition in Yangzhou. Just stay with Fan Qing tonight."
With Xi Zhicai's intelligence, he understood Yuan Shu's meaning in seconds. He smiled and bowed:
"Since that's the case, the ministers obey the order."
The wedding banquet ended in a harmonious atmosphere.
As a good boss who is considerate of employees, Yuan Shu gave Xi Zhicai a month's wedding leave.
However, after less than ten days of his marriage vacation, Yuan Shu called him to discuss matters by the Marquis's Mansion.
In the main hall of the Hou Mansion, Yuan Shu sat in the main seat.
Liu Bowen, Xi Zhicai, Jia Xu, Zhong Yao, Li Ru, Guo Tu and other advisers were listed next to him.
As Yuan Shu's disciple, Xiao Zhouyu stood modestly behind Yuan Shu.
Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong have not yet officially joined Yuan Shu, so they cannot attend such a confidential meeting.
Yuan Shu handed the secret documents sent from the secret department in his hand to everyone for circulation, and said with a bad expression:
"Everyone, let's take a look. There is another provincial governor in our Yangzhou, and it is also the Yangzhou governor personally conferred the title of the emperor.
Now this Lord Zhou Mu has designated Qua Xiaocheng as the capital of Yangzhou, which is simply a big deal!
What’s even more funny is that there are still many people in Yangzhou that responded, which really gave me a surprise!”
Yuan Shu's confidant advisers read the secret documents carefully, and the content on the secret documents was also very simple.
A few days ago, Emperor Liu Xie of Han sent Wei Kai as an envoy, and appointed Liu Yao, a relative of the Han Dynasty as the governor of Yangzhou, and designated the Yangzhou capital as Qu'a.
Then the guard Kai went on a mission to Lujiang, Kuaiji, Wujun and other places.
Liu Xie conferred the title of Liu Xun, the prefect of Lujiang, as General of Zhennan and Marquis of Wan, and issued an edict to lead his army to fight against Yuan Shu.
Later, he appointed Wang Lang, the prefect of Kuaiji, as the Bianjia and Leping Hou of Yangzhou, and asked him to assist Liu Yao.
Even Yan Baihu, a hero who was born into a bandit in Wujun, was named General Pingnan, allowing him to lead his army to fight against Yuan Shu.
For a time, Yangzhou was undercurrents, and some aristocratic families also secretly supported Liu Yao, and even asked him to openly take the banner of Yangzhou Mu.
This is equivalent to slapping Yuan Shu hard in the face.
In fact, the reason why these people can become officials in Yangzhou is that they have historical problems.
When Liu Yan proposed to abolish history and establish Mu, Liu Yao asked himself to be the governor of Yangzhou, but was rejected by Zhang Rang, who had taken Yuan Shu's benefits.
Liu Yao's courtesy name is Zhengli, and he was the nephew of the Grand Marshal Liu Chong and the younger brother of the governor of Yanzhou Liu Dai. He was a real relative of the Han Dynasty and was considered to be the family of Emperor Ling Liu Hong.
After rejecting Liu Yao's request, Liu Hong felt a little guilty towards his family.
So the confused emperor appointed Liu Yao as the governor of Yangzhou to calm his heart.
The governor of Yangzhou was abolished, so Yuan Shu gave Emperor Ling a face and did not attack Liu Yao.
Liu Yao was aware of this person and did not come to Shouchun to serve. He settled in Qu'a with the whereabouts of his confidants Zhang Ying, Xue Li and others, and became a nameless governor.
Yuan Shu had never had time to pay attention to him, but he didn't expect that this guy would actually make trouble now.
There is also Liu Xun, who is an old official of the Yuan family. He was originally a general of Yuan Shu in his previous life, and he was somewhat loyal to Yuan Shu.
It is just because of the change of fate that Yuan Shu now doesn't like the stinky fish and shrimps that assisted him in his previous life.
These former officials of the Yuan family had to find someone to surrender. Yuan Shu didn't like them, so they just surrendered to Yuan Shao.
