Chapter 554

"Yes, Lord Yang, we must think of a way."

"Lord Yang, why don't we submit another memorial."

Yang Ci, dressed in a black robe, walked slowly in front of the crowd.

Listening to the words of the group, Yang Ci could only shake his head.

Submitting memorials before was useless.

Not to mention that Yuan Kui had already taken action to pull Duan Yu over.

If they submitted another memorial, they would not only have to face Duan Yu.

But also face Yuan Kui.

The Runan Yuan clan had students and former officials all over the world.

Now Yuan Kui was the Minister of Works, and many members of the Yuan clan held high positions.

Luoyang had Yuan Shu, the General of the Household of the Tiger's Might, in charge of the Forbidden Army.

Hedong Commandery had a blade of the Yuan clan hanging over it.

If Liangzhou had another sharp blade.

Then in the future...

Yang Ci dared not imagine.

It definitely couldn't be blocked now.

This matter had become a foregone conclusion.

"We can only think of other ways," Yang Ci said with a frown.

"Does Lord Yang have any other good ideas?" Cui Lie asked.

Yang Ci shook his head and said: "I can't say they are good ideas, but they are better than having no ideas."

"Like this, Servant Cui, you take my name card and invite Huangfu Song over, just say that I am hosting a banquet in the mansion tonight," Yang Ci said.

Huangfu Song?

Cui Lie was stunned.

Wasn't that Huangfu Gui's nephew, who was currently a Gentleman in Luoyang?

"Is Lord Yang talking about Huangfu Gui's nephew Huangfu Song?" Cui Lie asked.

Yang Ci nodded and said: "Yes, it is this person."

Inside Yuan Kui's carriage.

Yuan Kui and Yuan Shao, uncle and nephew, sat in the carriage.

On the way out of the imperial palace, Yuan Shao did not say a word.

He was still digesting the scene in the court just now.

"Do you understand now?"

Yuan Kui, who was resting with his eyes closed, suddenly spoke, pulling Yuan Shao, who was deep in thought, out of his thoughts.

"I understand," Yuan Shao said with some hesitation.

Yuan Kui, who was resting with his eyes closed, slowly opened his eyes.

The light in those turbid old eyes was like an old wolf staring at its prey, making Yuan Shao feel a little hairy in his heart.

"Hmph."

Yuan Kui snorted coldly and said: "I think you still don't understand."

"With your level of cunning, you might be able to deceive ordinary people, but do you really think you can deceive me?"

"You are nothing more than still feeling unfair for Duan Yu in your heart."

"Still feel that my methods are despicable?"

Yuan Shao lowered his head hurriedly: "Nephew dare not..."

"Dare not?" Yuan Kui's brows frowned tightly and he said: "Is it dare not, or is it not!"

"Remember, you are a descendant of the Yuan clan, and everything must be considered for the interests of the Yuan clan."

"I don't oppose you making friends with Duan Yu. But no matter how good your relationship is, when facing family interests and other relationships, you must always put family interests first!"

"Today it is just a Duan Yu. In the future, even if it is your clansman, your relative who is blocking the interests of the Yuan clan, you must choose the interests of the Yuan clan first without hesitation."

Yuan Shao felt like he had fallen into an ice cellar, and cold sweat streamed down his forehead.

"Nephew... nephew understands..."

Seeing Yuan Shao like this, Yuan Kui's gaze softened slightly and he said: "The Yuan clan has worked hard for a hundred years, and through the unremitting efforts of several generations, we have the situation we have today."

"This is the hard work of several generations, and the sacrifice of several generations."

"Remember, in this world, there is no one who cannot be sacrificed, and there is no matter that cannot be compromised."

"If one day, you become the helmsman of the Yuan clan, everything today will be up to you."

"But the premise of everything is based on the fact that everything you do is for the Yuan clan. Otherwise, even the clansmen of the Yuan clan will not help you."

"Don't think that my use of this method to subdue Duan Yu is something you despise."

"A scholar must be broad-minded and resolute, for his burden is heavy and his road is long."

"To take benevolence as one's own responsibility, is it not heavy? To die only after the end, is it not long?"

"What you have to learn, and what you have to experience, is still far away!"

Yuan Shao remained silent with his head lowered.

He had never heard these words from his uncle before.

Some of the preaching in the past was mostly reprimanding him for being unruly and not doing his proper job.

As Yuan Kui's voice fell, the carriage fell into silence again, with only the squeaking sound of the wheels crushing the ground.

Inside the imperial palace.

The Small Huangmen Zuo Feng returned to his residence after the court was dismissed.

After staying in his room for a while, Zuo Feng called a small eunuch.

"You send this letter to Buguangli. There is an address on it. Just send this letter to the person inside the mansion," the Small Huangmen Zuo Feng said.

The small eunuch nodded hurriedly and left with the letter.

That night.

A warhorse stopped in front of Grand Marshal Yang Ci's mansion.

A tall, middle-aged man of about thirty years old dismounted from the horse.

The middle-aged man was burly, and when he walked, he carried an air of detachment, which seemed somewhat out of place with the official robe he was wearing.

Arriving in front of Yang Ci's mansion gate, the middle-aged man handed over the name card in his hand.

"I am Huangfu Song, here by the invitation of Lord Grand Marshal to attend the banquet." ===== CHAPTER 556 =====
