Chapter 528
"Yuan Shu, that rubbish, got the jade seal?"
In the hall of the Jizhou official temple, Yuan Shao frowned.
He thought to himself, is the jade seal blind?
It has been in the hands of that kid after so many twists and turns.
Looking at the world, who else can hold the jade seal in this chaotic world except him?
Even if it is not used now, it will be used sooner or later in the future.
Yuan Shao was very depressed.
After discussing with the civil servants, he made up his mind.
"Expel Yuan Shu from his clan now!"
Yuan Shao announced solemnly.
"From now on, there will be no such person in my Yuan family."
"This official solemnly declares that I have nothing to do with that traitor."
"Anyone can kill Yuan Shu."
The extremely stern voice echoed in the hall of the official temple.
Yuan Shao ordered the officials to write documents and announce them to the world.
To show his attitude.
Other princes got the news of Yuan Shu's enthronement, and their reactions were different.
As a Han minister and a prestigious royal family, Liu Biao naturally denounced Yuan Shu's act of claiming to be emperor.
He claimed that he would raise a million troops to fight against him.
But after issuing the document, there was no actual action.
It was just a lot of noise but little rain.
Jingzhou still did what it should do.
It didn't take any action at all.
Liu Yan, who was far away in Yizhou, was also furious when he heard about this.
He issued a document claiming that he would fight against the treasonous Yuan Shu.
Even if the journey was long, he had to lead the troops in person.
Kill that damn bastard who dared to escape from Han.
But he had to borrow the road from Liu Biao of Jingzhou, and after several documents and communications, there was no result.
Liu Yan also stopped moving.
As for the Shi family in Jiaozhou, after they got the news, they had no intention of expressing their opinions at all.
In their view, the more chaotic the Central Plains is, the better.
In this way, their Shi family can establish a separatist in Jiaozhou.
Not bound by any power.
Finally became its own small country.
Being able to live in peace in a corner, the Shi family is very satisfied.
They have already put their focus on the place further south.
Although there is miasma there, people will die from inhaling it if they are not careful.
But they can actually grow food.
The situation of three harvests a year makes the Shi family completely restless after knowing it.
They must conquer all the rich territories further south.
The Shi family put all their forces south.
Fight with the local natives.
Constantly encroach on the natives' territory and plunder their population.
Force the local natives to grow food for them.
Under the development of the Shi family, the actual control of Jiaozhou has expanded significantly to the south.
The Shi family, which has land and people, gradually accumulated strength.
Became a powerful vassal force that cannot be underestimated.
Especially they have a lot of food.
Became one of the richer vassals in the world.
Although the princes of the whole world were unwilling to admit it, they all knew it in their hearts.
The Han Dynasty was gone forever.
Everything became the past and could never go back to the past.
The princes all pointed their spears at Yuan Shu.
Let Yuan Shu instantly surpass Dong Zhuo and become the target of public criticism.
Yuan Shao seized the opportunity and asked his generals to lead troops south.
He oppressed Yanzhou in the name of conquering the rebel Yuan Shu.
Yanzhou, which was originally sandwiched between Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu's territories, trembled in fear.
The governor of the state knew deeply that when there were many princes in the world, he could not oppose those big princes with only Yanzhou.
The only right way was to choose one side to join.
Yuan Shu didn't know how many times he sent envoys to persuade him to join that side.
Originally, the governor of Yanzhou had agreed, but Yuan Shu suddenly proclaimed himself emperor, which shook his thoughts in his heart.
Yuan Shu ascended the throne in defiance of the world's taboos, and there was no future for him at all.
Going to Yuan Shu now would be like walking out of a tiger's den and into a wolf's den.
Absolutely impossible.
After stabilizing Yuan Shu's envoy, the governor of Yanzhou immediately contacted Yuan Shao's army, saying that as long as he could be given a stable and wealthy life, he would join them.
Without any objection, Yuan Shao decisively agreed, quickly passed the decision to the front line, and sent civil officials to contact them.
The governor of Yanzhou went all out and chopped off Yuan Shu's envoy on the spot.
The head was sent to Yuan Shao's army to show his sincerity.
Yuan Shao took over the entire Yanzhou without a single soldier.
His strength rose again.
Upon hearing the news, Yuan Shu was so angry that he smashed the temporary palace.
After venting his anger, he gave up the idea of sending troops to conquer Yanzhou immediately under the persuasion of the civil officials.
According to the civil servant, development is more important now.
The territory is in ruins and needs to be rebuilt, and the people need to work.
Grow more food, and then have the military to go out and conquer.
Yuan Shu had no other choice but to obey.
He was originally quite motivated, butAfter ascending the throne, he indulged in pleasure.
The script was once again dug out by the eunuchs.
He continued to promote it with various literati.
Faced with the novel scripts, Yuan Shu lingered.
He was addicted to them.
All official duties were gradually controlled by the officials of the new court.
Originally, most of the noble families in Yuzhou had been eliminated by Liu Bei, and now new noble families were born.
They were the new officials in Yuzhou.
One person's success brings prosperity to the whole family.
The relatives of the officials in Yuzhou all transformed themselves into new gentry.
They annexed land like crazy.
The land originally distributed to ordinary people was annexed by the relatives of officials by various means in secret in a short time.
There was no supervision at all, so the officials acted without any fear.
The government returned to the trend in a very short time, and it was even darker than before.
The people of Yuzhou did not have a good life for a few days before they returned to a life that was even darker than before.
The relatives of those officials were tyrannical, bullying men and women, and doing all kinds of evil.
The whole Yuzhou became a mess.
Ordinary people who had no other choice took their families and fled at night.
Some went to Jingzhou, some went to Yangzhou.
All went south to avoid the chaos.
For a time, the strength of the whole Yuzhou declined greatly.
But the officials of the new court did not care at all.
They united to deceive the superiors and the subordinates, and did not let Yuan Shu know the real situation of the people.
Everything was under their control.
As for what would happen to the new court in the future?
They didn't care, and they didn't care.
As long as they could get enough money, they would go to Yuan Shao's army when it went south.
At that time, they might even be able to get the title of a hero by opening the city gate in advance.
Although the country was destroyed, what did it have to do with them?
They are still subjects even if the monarch changes.
Nothing is more important than profit.
With the spread of this idea, officials in Yuzhou became more unscrupulous.
They intensified their efforts to plunder the wealth hidden among the people.
The trend of comparison suddenly increased and swept across the entire Yuzhou.
Liu Bei discovered the situation, but he was powerless to change it.
Seeing the fleeing people sneaking out of the city with their families, Liu Bei's heart could not help but feel bitter.
How many heads of noble families did he chop off to make Yuzhou what it was before?
However, after spending a lot of effort, the fruits of victory were easily plundered by those termites.
This made him so angry that he almost vomited blood.
