Cai Yong's departure is not a trivial matter for Luoyang. Although he has no official titles, his influence in Shilin is of great importance, but for many people, this is also a good thing.

Cai Yong belongs to a firm imperial party and is also a flag figure among the emperors. Now that Cai Yong leaves, these imperial parties will be weaker. Of course, no matter how much he is thinking, on the day Cai Yong leaves, even He Jin, the people with enough weight in Luoyang City came to see him off. In addition, there are Yuan Wei, Zheng Shuang and other old ministers in the court. Among the new generation, in addition to Ye Zhao, Yuan Shao, and Cao Cao, who have already begun to show off in the officialdom, have also arrived.

"Congratulations to Xiuming, and resolved the misunderstanding with Weng Cai." Seeing Ye Zhao who was reminded by Cai Yong to retreat, Cao Cao smiled and said to Ye Zhao.

"It's not a big deal, it's because my teacher is too rigid." Ye Zhao glanced at Cai Yong and whispered to Cao Cao.

Since returning from the Jizhou reign with Yuan Shao, Cao Cao was left in Luoyang for his merits. He Jin became afraid of the Yuan family and has been in a state of defense these days. Therefore, although Yuan Shao made great contributions, he was still the Sili lieutenant, but he was named the Marquis of Ting. Cao Cao was favored by He Jin. Although his official title is not as good as Yuan Shao, he is now an important figure under the general's position.

On this side, Ye Zhao whispered to Cao Cao, and on the other side, after Yuan Shao bid farewell to Cai Yong, he turned around and saw the two of them, his eyes were a little complicated.

At the same time, the characters who emerged when the Yellow Turbans were pacified, had drunk and talked about each other and were intimate, but now the times have changed. The three of them have become higher and higher, and Ye Zhao is even ranked among the Nine Ministers. However, Yuan Shao could clearly feel that these two former friends now have an indescribable barrier with him.

Ye Zhao was obviously not friendly to Ye Zhao who steals Yuan's resources and takes over because of the dispute between Yuan's family. Moreover, since Yuan Wei's words, Yuan Shao always believed that Ye Zhao's purpose of making friends with him was impure and wanted to use him, which he took the initiative to alienate.

But Cao Cao... Yuan Shao himself didn't know when the relationship between him and Cao Cao became increasingly weak. But at this moment, Yuan Shao felt indescribable discomfort when he saw the two of them talking happily.

Cai Yong left with his dozen frames containing books, and everyone dispersed one after another. Xu You passed by Yuan Shao. Seeing that Yuan Shao's expression was wrong, he couldn't help but pull Yuan Shao and said, "Benchu?"

"What's wrong with Ziyuan?" Yuan Shao came to his senses and looked at Xu You with some confusion.

"I should ask you." Xu You looked at Yuan Shao and frowned, "Why do you always feel that I have no idea what I really think about?"

Yuan Shao's expression changed slightly, he shook his head without saying anything, walked side by side with Xu You, and turned the topic apart: "Ziyuan has been running back and forth in Jizhou these days, but why is it?"

"I have my own plans." Xu You glanced at Cao Cao's direction, and a cold look flashed in his eyes: "Benchu ​​has a strong relationship with Meng De, why do you think Meng De has been quite close to Ye Zhao recently?"

Yuan Shao shook his head with some depression: "Meng De and Xiuming had already had friendship as early as the Yellow Turban Rebellion. Now Xiuming is the Weiwei, and Meng De is closer, which is not without reason."

Xu You sneered disdainfully: "Although Ye Xiuming has made meritorious achievements, he has a humble background. The emperor does not use loyal ministers, but instead uses this humble person. If we talk about merit, he had already quelled Chenliu. The Nanyang Rebellion is now quelling Jizhou, which may not be much worse than Ye Zhao. He has never praised him when he returns to the court this time, and he is actually a foolish monarch!"

"Ziyuan is careful!" Yuan Shao was startled by Xu You, looked around, and glared at Xu You with a bad expression and said, "If this is said, Ziyuan will not be far from disaster!"

"If you were not regarded as a close friend, you would be sincere in your words and deeds. If you felt that You were wrong in your words and deeds, you could report them to You, and You Jue had no complaints." Xu You sneered.

"What is Ziyuan saying?" Yuan Shao felt a warm heart in his heart. With Ye Zhao and Cao Cao, he was alienated one after another. Although Yuan Shao still had a lot of people who flattered him in Luoyang, he had not experienced that kind of true friendship for a long time. He came from a noble family and was born in a polite family, but he was highly valued by Yuan Wei. Otherwise, he would not be the only one of the polite family. Why could he compete for power with his legitimate son Yuan Shu? Therefore, he had a very high vision. Those who flattered him would treat him with courtesy, but would not treat him as real friends.

Ye Zhao and Cao Cao are among the top people among the younger generation. In Yuan Shao's view, only such talents are worthy of making friends with him. However, Ye Zhao and Cao Cao's successive distantness made Yuan Shao feel quite lonely. At this time, Xu You's words were touching Yuan Shao's weakest side. He also longed for this kind of friendship. Xu You's unreserved trust was not comparable to that kind of flattery.

"Since Ziyuan believes in me, Yuan doesn't bother to do that villain." Yuan Shao looked at Xu You and said calmly: "Ziyuan's words are too much despised Yuan. What Your Majesty does is also inappropriate. It's just that you and I, as ministers, shouldn't argue!"

"Ben Chu forgives the crime." Xu You looked around. Before they knew it, the two lagged behind the crowd. After seeing that there was no one around, they whispered: "Just like today, I am stupid and appointed eunuchs and treacherous ministers. Seeing the storm of the Han Dynasty, You felt heartbroken and sad, and he was determined to make things right. However, people were slight, and now they were planning to discuss something with Ben Chu. This is not a place to speak. If Ben Chu believes in me, please follow me."

When Yuan Shao heard this, he looked at Xu You's expression and his heart was thumping. What big thing Xu You was going to do? Yuan Shao had some speculation in his heart. When he was fighting against the Yellow Turbans in Jizhou, the governor of Jizhou, Wang Fen, invited him to have a banquet several times, and his words also revealed dissatisfaction with the emperor. Moreover, during that period, Xu You seemed to have had a lot of contact with Wang Fen. After that, some of the things Wang Fen and Yuan Shao said later, even if they think about it now, Yuan Shao was sweating coldly.

Thinking about it again, after returning to the court, Xu You went to Jizhou several times...

When he came to a tavern belonging to the Yuan family, Xu You stepped back and looked at Yuan Shao solemnly and said, "Benchu, Wenzu's meaning, really doesn't know?"

Yuan Shao knelt on the straw mat, thought for a while, looked at Xu You, and said seriously: "Ziyuan said before me, who is involved in this matter?"

Yuan Shao is not a stupid person either. Since Xu You had already explained this matter to him directly, he might have made plans.

Xu You stared at Yuan Shao and said after a while: "Zhou Jing, the prime minister of Liang State, Chen Yi, the son of the Grand Tutor Chen Fan, and many heroes in Jizhou."

As one of the eight chefs, Wang Fen has a strong appeal among the Shilin. But when he heard these names, Yuan Shao frowned slightly: "These are the only ones?"

Xu You smiled bitterly and said, "Wen Zu Qian saw Benchu ​​refusal, and Benchu ​​refused to look for Benchu ​​anymore, but You thought that this matter was related to the world and was not a person with virtue. After Benchu's fourth generation and three kings, he had a lot of prestige. This time, the war in Jizhou was pacified, which was loved by the scholars and people in Jizhou. If Benchu ​​was willing to raise his arms and call, he would defeat us a hundred times."

Yuan Shao frowned and thoughtful when he heard this, but did not give a result immediately. He shook his head for a long time and said, "This matter is of great importance, let me think twice."

"You heard that the emperor wanted to tour the old house in Hejian, and the Master Wen had already written to the letter saying that the Black Mountain bandits attacked the counties and asked for the right to dispatch troops. If this matter is helped by Benchu, if it is done, Benchu ​​can respond to the court. When the prince is young, we support the King of Hefei as the emperor. At that time, the court will be in control. Why should Benchu ​​worry about not being able to show his ambitions in his heart?" Xu You saw Yuan Shao's heartbeat and quickly advised: "This is a rare opportunity. Even if we fail, we will take the blame on our own. We will definitely not make it difficult for Benchu!"

Yuan Shao was quite moved when he heard this. This time he made great contributions to pacifying Jizhou. However, after returning to the court, not only did the court not give any rewards, but He Jin also intended to cut off his military power. On the contrary, Cao Cao was promoted by He Jin, which made him unhappy. Now that Xu You was urging him like this, he immediately became interested. If he really succeeded, with the Yuan family's power and his current status as a Luoyang, he would have the advantage. As long as he successfully established himself, his power in the Yuan family would definitely surpass Yuan Shu and become the heir of the Yuan family. So what if Ye Zhao was at the top of the Weiwei? The dismissal would be in his mind.

"Ziyuan is back. Before Your Majesty goes on tour, Shao will have a reply!" Yuan Shao looked at Xu You and made a solemn promise.

After all, it is a matter of destruction. Although Huo Guang and Yi Yin succeeded, there are more examples of failure. How powerful Liang Ji was back then? In the end, he ended up dead and without a burial place? No matter how big the Yuan family is, Yuan Shao could not stop such a thing himself?

"You waited for good news, but Benchu ​​should stop it as soon as possible to avoid missing major events!" Xu You nodded, stood up and said goodbye: "But before things are done, You cannot be too close to Benchu, so as not to cause Benchu ​​to suffer after things fail."

"Zi Yuan is so arrogant, but he can't help but underestimate Yuan!" Yuan Shao said unhappily.

"Don't blame Benchu. This matter is not to be underestimated, but if the matter fails, Benchu ​​can stay out of the matter, and if Benchu ​​is involved, we can still wait a little while. If Benchu ​​is implicated, the world is so big that we have no place to live!" Xu You said in sternly: "This matter concerns the world, and I have to wait for it!"

"Just that's the case, I'll have worked hard." Yuan Shao sighed.

"Goodbye!" Xu You took a deep breath, bowed to Yuan Shao, and left first. Yuan Shao waited for Xu You to leave for a while before he took his personal guards to leave the restaurant, headed to the mansion, and summoned his aides to discuss the matter.

Yuan Shao was distressed, and Ye Zhao was also worried recently. The emperor went on a tour of his old house. He had nothing to do with him. He had his own Yulin Army. However, Liu Hong was obviously not at ease with the Yulin Army. He specially issued an edict to lead the three orders of the Guards and the female barracks to escort Liu Hong and his family. Ye Zhao also took the post of the Yulin Army General to guard the left and right, protect Liu Hong and his full family.
