Yuan Feng advised: "With Qin Jie's ability to unify the crowd of Nanyang is still no match for Ma Yue's 800 stragglers, if my son is the governor of Nanyang, how should he cope?"
Yuan Shu did not think, "Qin Jie's defeat, the crime is not the crowd in Nanyang, it is not due to the law. I have heard a lot about the eight hundred stragglers and Ma Yue's way of using the army. They come and go like the wind and can run a hundred miles in a day, but they never guard the city, and they only pick the places where the Nanyang soldiers are defenceless to launch sudden attacks, so they have won many times.
Yuan Feng said: "The world is big, there are many states and counties, there are many places for my son to stretch his legs, why did my son choose the dangerous place of Nanyang to fight with the brazen thief Ma Yue to the death?"
Yuan Shu's eyes swept a trace of cunning color, not answer, but asked: "I do not know what father's view of the current world trend?"
"Although the yellow turban is destroyed, the bandits are getting stronger, the building will fall, the force can not support." Yuan Feng sighed, "Secretary Liu Yan has already submitted to the emperor a few days ago, requesting the restoration of the state pastor to control the military administration of the states in order to devote their efforts to fight the bandits, the court is full of rats, and there are castrati Zhang Jean, Zhao Zhong greedy people in the middle of the wind and waves, I think His Majesty seems to have the intention to agree. I don't know that once this example is opened, the town will be cut off, the imperial power is on the sidelines, the country will not be a country.
Yuan Shu did not think: "Now the imperial family is in decline, party confinement is widespread, and the various sectarians are rising, restoring the state pastor, according to the town, this is the trend, if I do not take advantage of the situation and rise, will be replaced by others! The 800 stragglers in Nanyang are like a torrent, if we block it, we will be drowned, but if we take advantage of the situation and make good use of it, it may not be a help."
The first thing you need to do is to look at Yuan Shu and sigh, "My son is growing up. The company's main business is to provide a wide range of products and services to the public.
Yuan Shu knelt down in front of Yuan Feng and said sincerely, "Please, father."
Yuan Feng slightly nodded his head, eyes swept a trace of relief, born son so, no regret in death.
At this moment, outside the door suddenly came the sound of the butler's report: "Master, the great general is visiting the house."
......
The next day, Emperor Ling, who had not been to the court for a long time, could not resist the plea of Empress He, so he had to get up early in the morning to attend the court meeting.
The three officials, nine secretaries, civil and military officials entered the hall in order, after bowing down and calling for long life, the emperor excused himself and rose to line up on both sides of the golden hall. Chang Chang Chang, the permanent attendant Zhang Jean threw the duster in his hand, grabbed a step forward, cupped his voice and screamed: "There is a book to be presented early, nothing to retreat from the court ~ ~"
"I have a book to present."
Zhang Jean's words fell, the Secretary of State Yuan Feng has been out of class worship on the courtyard.
The Yuan family's four generations of three princes, Yuan Feng is an important minister, the emperor did not dare to be slack, so the pleasant said: "Ai Qing quickly flat, what is the matter?"
Yuan Feng climbed to his feet with great effort and bent down deeply, and his voice resounded throughout the hall: "The Yellow Turban bandits have resurfaced, and 800 bandits have swept through Nanyang, regaining control of Wancheng, and even the great general's old father, the current president, has fallen into the hands of the bandits! Qin Jie, the governor of Nanyang, is headstrong and self-opinionated, and lost Wancheng at the beginning of the Yellow Turban turmoil, and should have been beheaded for the crime, but it was Chang Zhang who interceded on his behalf and made him stay on the governor's post to redeem himself for the crime, resulting in this incident. I would like to request the court official to investigate the crime of the unclear inspection and improper use of people."
Zhang Jian, who was standing on the jade steps, was shocked by the words and knelt down in fear before Emperor Ling's imperial seat, shouting, "Yuan Shukong is spitting blood, my servant is wronged."
Zhang let the sound of his voice fell, Stuart Yuan Kui, the middle of the service Wang Yun, the servant Cai Yong and other dozens of public officials and ministers at the same time out of the class ambushed under the courtyard, said in a loud voice: "We request Your Majesty to sternly order the Court Lieutenant Department to investigate this matter thoroughly!"

Emperor Ling frowned, this is really difficult for him. The two people he trusts the most, if he is not served by these two people, it is not even tasty to eat. But Yuan Feng and Yuan Kui are standing behind the civil and military officials, he is not willing to offend either side!
Although the emperor is dim-witted, but also know first to find out the circumstances of the matter.
"All of you are calm, Yuan Shenkong just said, I heard it is very confusing, can you tell me in detail?"
Yuan Feng said: "Your majesty, Zhang Jean improperly hired people, Qin Jie, the governor of Nanyang, neglected his duties, the bandits in Nanyang County has resurfaced, and the 800 stragglers that have emerged in their place are more ferocious than the Yellow Turban bandits, the Nanyang soldiers have repeatedly lost battles, Fuyang, Suixian and many other counties have been destroyed, and now even the county seat of Wancheng has fallen again. The situation is already unbearable!"
Emperor Ling was stunned at his words, and after a long time, he laughed dumbly and said, "Aiqing is joking with me, right? Who would dare to believe that a mere 800 stragglers would take over a large city in a county heavily fortified by my troops? I'm afraid only a three-year-old child would believe it."
Many of the civil and military officials also laughed, they are as reluctant to believe this news as Emperor Ling, they feel that Secretary Yuan Feng and Secretary Yuan Kui are too reckless, even if they want to bring down the party of the ten permanent attendants, they can not make up such a ridiculous and unbelievable story ah, at least should find some decent blame.
The company's main goal was to get the best out of the market, but it was not to get the best out of the market. The person I know as Qin Jie is shrewd, smart and talented! Although he had lost Wancheng, the reason for this has already been explained to Your Majesty."
Emperor Ling waved his hand and said, "I also know this matter, Qin Jie with thousands of people to deal with hundreds of thousands of yellow scarves, can hold on for several months is already remarkable, if someone else to go, I am afraid not even a day to defend! If all the county guards were as dedicated as Qin Jie, what would the Yellow Turban bandits have to fear?"
Yuan Feng, with his head on the ground, shouted, "What I have said is true, if there is any false word, I am willing to be tortured by torture!
Emperor Ling was still not convinced and said, "If this is true, why is there no post report? How did the Secretary of State learn about it?"
Yuan Feng said, "My dog followed General Che Cavalry to Nanyang a few days ago, and only then did I learn about it."
"Yes, Aiqing also said that even the abbot had fallen into the hands of thieves." Emperor Ling turned his attention to He Miao and asked, "Secretary He, is this true?"
He Miao came out and said, "It is true."
Emperor Ling was displeased and said, "The fact that the abbot was caught in the hands of thieves is not a trivial matter, why didn't you report it earlier?"
He Miao said calmly, "I was about to submit a report, but Lord Yuan beat me to it."
Seeing that the emperor had the intention of believing, Zhang said, "Your Majesty, don't listen to slanderous words.
Zhang Jean is also anxiously fainted, originally, the inspection of people is not clear, improper use of people is only a small matter, at most by the emperor when the court reprimanded a few sentences, it is impossible to really hand over to the court lieutenant department to investigate thoroughly. But Zhang Jean is used to domineering, see someone dare to play him in court, plus the 800 stragglers attacked Wancheng is really too unbelievable, so instinctively gave a counter-attack, not only to the fact that the charge of harboring Qin Jie, but also the most stupid backbiting, claiming that Yuan Feng and He Miao colluded in advance to slander him, but this time pushed himself to the dead end.
"Report~~~"
The sound of a loud and clear trumpet suddenly sounded outside the hall, from far to near, gradually reached outside the Golden Hall, immediately, a dusty warrior appeared in the view of the hundred officials, thumped down outside the yellow door, the sound of metal colliding with the stone steps, a long time to exhaust.
"Nanyang Diyi!"
The samurai kneeled on one knee, will carry the yellow damask bag Yu untied, with both hands held high over the top.
Zhang Jean suddenly changed color, Emperor Ling gaze, said in a deep voice: "Present it!"
As early as the yellow door attendant from the hands of the warrior took the diary, a trot through the courtyard, into the golden steps below, and a eunuch received, presented in front of the case of Emperor Ling.
The emperor read it at a glance and stood up from the dragon chair in disbelief, saying: "Is it true? This is really true! Eight hundred bandits really took Wancheng? Really took Wancheng!"
On the golden hall, all the civil and military officials were horrified and could not believe their ears. The Yellow Turban bandits are a rabble, although tens of thousands of people are often chased by hundreds of government troops, now with a mere 800 people, that is, to capture the government's heavy military garrison of the county city, is really appalling!
Zhang Jean was frightened and sobbed, "My old slave was blind and trusted the villain Qin Jie, so I deserve to die.
"Your Majesty, please send Zhang Jian to the court officer's office for thorough investigation!"
Yuan Feng dropped the stone.
"Your Majesty, please send Zhang Jian to the court officer's office for thorough investigation!"
Yuan Kui, Wang Yun, Cai Yong and others pushed and pushed.
"Please ask Your Majesty to send Zhang Jean to the Court Lieutenant's Office for thorough investigation!"
This time, more than half of the civil and military officials stood out, righteously requesting to punish Zhang Jean, who had always been domineering, but at this time was like a poor little cat, cowering at the feet of Emperor Ling, trembling. No matter how illustrious, no matter how arrogant in front of people, Zhang Jean is just a slave of the royal family, once he loses the holy favor, all his power will be reduced to nothing in a moment.
