Chapter 159 Planning a Conspiracy

Zhang Yu was not surprised that Empress He would help him.

The conflict between Zhang Yu and He Jin was all because of Zhang Rang.

Zhang Yu is just a battlefield for him to fight with Zhang Rang, and Zhang Yu himself has no direct conflict with He Jin.

But Empress He didn't have any bad feelings towards Zhang Rang and others in her heart, on the contrary, she was more protective.

When Liu Hong was dying and He Jin wanted to kill Shi Changshi, Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and others begged Empress He, but He Jin actually begged Shi Changshi to protect them, thus killing He Jin.

It can be seen that Empress He has no ill feeling towards these eunuchs.

Zhang Yu came out of the palace with joy.

Obtaining complete autonomy in government affairs from Emperor Liu Hongna, as long as Empress He speaks for him, He Jin will not interfere in his military affairs.

This means that Zhang Yu has complete military and political independence, and Kuaiji County has become a small kingdom.

He Jin is a great general, commanding the world's soldiers and horses, and Zhang Yu has a military position, so He Jin is completely in charge of him.

"I didn't expect that a bottle of wine and a box of cosmetics can be exchanged for such a big profit."

Zhang Yu also feels that the world is impermanent. Although he was surprised to enter the palace this time, he was also happy.

Back in the courtyard, Zhang Yu said to Dian Wei: "Come on, destroy all these wine-making things, clean them up, and we will leave for Kuaiji County the day after tomorrow."

The matter in Luoyang is over, it is already February of 185, and Zhang Yu has long wanted to go back.

Dian Wei took orders to go to work.

 …

Yuan Mansion

"When Zhang Yu entered the palace, he met His Majesty first, and then the Queen. He heard that the Queen wanted to kill him before, but later she treated him very well. In the palace, he not only gave him a seat, but also rewarded him with cakes."

Yuan Kui closed his eyes, knocked on the arm of the chair with one hand and said.

A few members of the Yuan family sat next to Yuan Kai, including Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu.

"Uncle, it's normal for His Majesty to reward Zhang Yu, but the queen suddenly changed his attitude towards Zhang Yu. Could it be He Jin's instruction? He Jin wants to win Zhang Yu over?" Yuan Shao asked repeatedly.

"Uncle, this Zhang Yu must be taught a lesson, otherwise, what face will our Yuan family have, and how we will order other families to let our nephew go, we will definitely lose Zhang Yu's face." Yuan Shu also said aloud.

After Yuan Shao heard this, he chuckled and said, "Gaolu, we have many ways to lose Zhang Yu's face, but it's useless. Before Zhang Yu lost face to our Yuan family, we reversed Zhang Yu's loss of face." , not only is it useless at all, but it also makes our Yuan family incompetent."

Yuan Shao's tone was flat, and he didn't mean to make fun of him, but Yuan Shu was furious after hearing this, and then questioned, "Then what do you say? Do you have the ability to kill Zhang Yu?"

"Of course you can kill him if necessary." Yuan Shao said suddenly with a murderous look on his face.

After Yuan Shu heard the report, he was angry, because he knew that he had lost to Yuan Shao again, and he was very upset.

Yuan Kai had been listening quietly, but suddenly his hands stopped, and then he said: "You should inquire in many ways immediately, I want to know the true attitude of the queen and He Jin, if Zhang Rang and He Jin join forces, our family will be completely destroyed. Suppressed."

Everyone stood up and took orders.

Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao walked out quickly, both went to inquire about news, both of them wanted to get more valuable information than the other.

One night passed, Zhang Yu and the others had already started to pack their things the next day, and the soldiers went out to buy a lot of dry food.

It’s a long way back to Kuaiji. Although supplies can be provided along the way, dry food and tents must be prepared before departure.

"Report, my lord, the General's Mansion sent a gift, wishing the lord a smooth journey on the road."

Zhang Yu was tasting wine with Dian Wei in the courtyard when a soldier suddenly reported.

"He Jin's gift?" Zhang Yu was taken aback for a moment, then laughed.

He Jin sent a gift, indicating that Empress He became a lobbyist, and it was effective.

"Who sent it?" Zhang Yu asked.

The soldier replied: "An ordinary soldier, leave after delivery."

Zhang Yu nodded. Although He Jin expressed goodwill, it was only for Empress He's sake.

Therefore, only an ordinary soldier was sent to deliver it, and he left after delivering it.

"Never mind him, as long as He Jin doesn't trouble me in the future."

After figuring this out, Zhang Yu was relieved that in the future, the military and political power in Kuaiji County would be completely up to him.

There is no need to pay taxes, and no one cares about the number of soldiers and horses.

Zhang Yu put aside the matter and continued to taste wine with Dian Wei, but Yuan Wei and his family couldn't sit still.

At this time, Yuan Kai was in his study, and there were only him, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu in it.

"As expected, He Jin reconciled with Zhang Yu and sent someone to give him a gift." Yuan Kai said coldly.

"Uncle, this matter is no small matter. Although Zhang Yu is a small person, he has made great contributions. If he acts as the middleman between He Jin, Zhang Rang and others, and the two sides reconcile, our family will never have a bright future." Yuan Shao said.

Yuan Shu also stated, "Zhang Yu must be eliminated."

There was a cold light in Yuan Kai's eyes, his eyes were deep, and he didn't speak for a long time.

"Zhang Yu was ordered by the emperor, we can't do anything to him, otherwise it will hurt us." After a long time, Yuan Kai closed his eyes and said.

The room fell into silence. To get rid of Zhang Yu, there must be no reason to fall into other people's hands, otherwise there must be big trouble.

"Uncle, I personally took the dead men of the family to intercept and kill him. I heard that Zhang Yu will leave Luoyang soon. At that time, he will attack on the way. It is difficult for others to think of our Yuan family. At worst, wait until they are far away before doing it. .” Yuan Shu said.

Yuan Kai nodded slightly after hearing this and did not speak.

Although Yuan Kai didn't agree with this method in his heart, it was the last resort. If it didn't work, then he could only use this method.

"Uncle." At this moment, Yuan Shao suddenly had a flash of light in his mind, thought of an idea and said, "Yuan Zhan and Zhang Yu had a great enmity outside Guangzong City, although he is a member of our Yuan family, he can't implicate our Yuan family. "

After hearing this, Yuan Kai's eyes grew cold, and he clapped his hands and said, "Good idea, originally this Yuan Zhan has been abandoned by us, if he can make great contributions, we can use him again."

When Yuan Zhan came back, he spent all his savings to save his life, but he also lost the support of the Yuan family, so it was difficult to continue to climb up.

"Tell Yuan Zhan that if this matter is settled, I will guarantee that he will be restored to his post within three years and promoted to a higher level within five years." Yuan Kai said.

"Don't worry, uncle, my nephew will make arrangements now." Yuan Shao hurriedly took up the work and retreated.

Yuan Shu was extremely depressed, and Yuan Shao stole the limelight again.

Yuan Shao's plan was very simple. Give Yuan Zhan an official position and let him lead troops temporarily, and then give him some dead soldiers and let him lead people to intercept and kill Zhang Yu.

If it fails, it doesn't matter, because Yuan Zhan and Zhang Yu have long had a personal enmity.

This can only show that Yuan Zhan retaliated because of personal enmity, and has nothing to do with the Yuan family.

If it succeeds, the Yuan family has a way to save Yuan Zhan's life, and Yuan Kai has promised to restore him to his post.

At this time, although Yuan Zhan spent all his savings to keep his official position, if he did not obey Yuan Kai's words, he might lose his official position at any time, or even be questioned.

Yuan Zhan had no choice.
