Although Liu Cheng didn't say it explicitly, just by saying this, he understood the dilemma Liu Cheng was in.
And quickly thought of a solution.
When Liu Cheng heard that Xun You said that he had an idea, he quickly said, "Gongda teach me quickly."
Xun You said: "I heard that the emperor's uncle has a younger brother named Liu Shui, and his hair has been tied up.
Controls the Taobao store that is very famous in Guanzhong.
I wonder if the emperor's uncle and his younger brother, Liu Langjun, are married in Bishui Pavilion?
If you are not married yet, you might as well make an appointment with Wu Yi's sister.
Men should be married when they are older, and women should be married when they are older.
This husband has already tied up his hair, and it’s time to get married."
When Liu Cheng heard what Xun You said slowly, his eyes suddenly lit up.
that is!
I only thought about myself, but I neglected that I also have a good brother Liu Shui!
Wu Yi's sister took her as a concubine, which was indeed inappropriate.
But betrothing her to his younger brother Liu Shui can greatly reduce this influence!
Dong Zhuo said in the past that Wu Yi, Li Yan, and those represented by them who followed Liu Yan into Yizhou and later formed the group of Dongzhou scholars in history would not have any barriers to themselves because of this.
!
This is really a good idea!
"Gongda, you are really my Xiao He!"
Liu Cheng held Xun You's hand and said with excitement and emotion.
Xun You smiled and said: "My lord, you are in the middle of the game. If you care, you will be confused and cannot see clearly.
Because my subordinates are on the outside and are not disturbed by many things, they can see clearly..."
Liu Cheng laughed when he heard this.
This is the real Xiao He!
Not only is he a good strategist, he can do things well, he also speaks well.
Moreover, in history, Xiao He was the commander-in-chief of the rear area, constantly farming and building in places like Hanzhong and Guanzhong.
While ensuring Liu Bang's rear was not in chaos, he also continuously transported food and soldiers to the front.
Liu Bang was able to defeat Xiang Yu repeatedly and finally defeated Xiang Yu and conquered the world. It can be said that Xiao He took the greatest credit!
Now, when Liu Cheng transferred Xun You to Xichuan, he also wanted Xun You to develop well in Xichuan.
And Xun You is also a man of great wisdom.
So it's not a bad idea to compare him to Xiao He.
As Xun You spoke, he saluted Liu Cheng and said: "It is our duty to help the emperor's uncle solve his problems.
Xun You must not dare to neglect the emperor’s great trust!"
This refers to the fact that Liu Cheng asked him to come over and take charge of many affairs in Yizhou.
Talking to smart people is such a worry-free thing.
Just one point and it will show through.
After a few simple words with Xun You, Liu Cheng went to find Li Yan.
Because he already had the best of both worlds in his mind, Liu Cheng felt very relaxed and walked briskly at this time.
At the same time, I'm still thinking in my heart: Little brother, don't say that your brother doesn't miss you. He hasn't even gotten married yet, and he's already busy looking for a wife for you.
Moreover, the opponent's background is not bad.
The legitimate daughter in the family is definitely worthy of your status.
The name in history is not small, but the person who became the queen...
Look how much this brother loves you!
I am so heartbroken for you!
Liu Cheng, who unilaterally arranged a marriage for Liu Shui without Liu Shui's knowledge, was thinking about his younger brother here.
The deep love between brothers is extremely touching...
"Uncle Emperor."
In the front hall, when Li Yan saw Liu Cheng, he quickly stood up to say hello.
The anxiety in my heart also reached its peak at this time.
I was afraid that I would hear news that I didn’t want to hear from Liu Cheng.
Liu Cheng waved his hand to him and motioned for him to sit down.
Then he smiled and said: "After careful consideration, I have made a decision on this matter."
Li Yan raised his heart.
"Wu Sima's sister is not suitable for me to be my concubine.
She is also the legitimate daughter of the Wu family, so it would be too unfair to be my concubine!"
Li Yan's heart suddenly sank to the bottom.
I just feel bleak and dull.
It seemed that Uncle Liu Huang really disliked these people and wanted to keep a certain distance from them.
Otherwise, why could he greet Dong Fu with such an attitude, but when it was his turn to wait for someone, he would not even take a concubine?
Why is my daughter-in-law wronged by being a concubine...
These are just excuses.
None of them care about this matter, so why would Uncle Liu Huang care about it?
To put it bluntly, we just use this as a medium to make the relationship between the two parties closer.
He and others have already lowered their attitude so low, but Uncle Liu Huang still disagrees...
This is indeed a shameful thing for people to leave their hometown!
At this moment, many thoughts flashed through Li Yan's mind.
The mood is very low.
"I have a younger brother who has been dependent on me since childhood and has already tied his hair. He is in charge of our Taobao store.
I have not yet decided to get married, but now I have reached the age of engagement.
I just never found the right woman.
Coupled with the busy schedule of various affairs, there was also a delay.
Wu Sima's sister is so good and she is the legitimate daughter of the family. How about marrying my brother Liu Shuiyue, the lord of Si Shui Pavilion?
The parents of my two brothers have passed away. The elder brother is like the father. As the elder brother, I should arrange marriage for him."
Liu Cheng looked at Li Yan and said this.
Mountains and rivers are full of doubts and there is no way out, and there is another village with dark willows and bright flowers!
Li Yan, who was in an extremely low mood and had many things on his mind, heard Liu Cheng's words and his low mood was swept away in an instant.
The whole thing became surprising and joyful.
Originally, she just wanted to ask the emperor's uncle to take her as his concubine, but now the emperor's uncle wants to make a marriage agreement with his younger brother and become his younger brother's main wife.
This change is beyond expectation!
"Yes, yes, if Wu Sima knows what the emperor means, he will definitely be very willing."
Li Yan said repeatedly.
He was afraid that if he agreed too slowly, Liu Cheng would regret it.
"The younger brother of the emperor's uncle is already a prince at a young age, so he must be a handsome man.
For Wu Sima's sister to marry the emperor's uncle's brother is a high achievement."
Li Yan said this.
Liu Cheng smiled and waved his hand: "Marriage is a big deal, it is a good marriage between two families. There is no such thing as one being superior and the other being inferior.
As long as the two of them get along well and get along well from now on, everything will be fine."
As Liu Cheng said this, he looked like many parents were getting married for their children.
"Fang Zheng, please go back and talk to Wu Sima Tong, tell him about this matter and see what his opinion is.
After all, this matter concerns Wu Sima's sister, and Wu Sima needs to be informed and agreed to.
If Wu Sima agrees, we will agree on a date and go through all the etiquette of leaving.
Make an appointment for the two of them to get married.
Marriage is not a trivial matter, it needs to be treated seriously and cannot be taken carelessly."
"What the emperor said is absolutely true. I will go find Wu Ziyuan and talk to him about this matter..."
At this time, Li Yan typically did whatever Liu Cheng said.
Under the twists and turns, I felt particularly excited.
Liu Cheng nodded and Li Yan said goodbye...
Li Yan went back to see Wu Yi and told Wu Yi about Liu Cheng's proposal, and Wu Yi readily agreed.
This result was better than the best result he could have imagined.
Rather than letting his sister be Liu Huangshu's concubine, he would rather have his sister be Liu Shui's wife.
After all, these days, the status of the wife and the concubine are so different that they can be said to be in the sky and on the earth.
Although Wu Yi often marries his sister, he is not a hard-hearted person.
After being able to resolve the matter, he naturally wanted his sister to live a better life.
Li Yan and Wu Yi discussed it for a while, and immediately asked Li Yan to return to Liu Cheng to reply, saying that Wu Yi had agreed to the matter.
He also said that the date of engagement will be decided by the emperor's uncle, and he will decide it whenever he has time.
He also expressed tactfully that the girl from Wu Yi's family has reached the age to get married...
This is to allow Liu Cheng to settle down the marriage as soon as possible.
Liu Cheng is not a mother-in-law person.
When you haven't made a decision, forget it.
Now that the decision has been made, there will be no further delay.
It was agreed at that time that the engagement would take place three days later.
Li Yan went happily.
He also brought joy to Wu Yi, Fei Shi, Wu Lan and other outsiders who followed Liu Yan into Xichuan.
Liu Cheng also began to order some people to work on this matter and prepare what should be prepared.
Liu Cheng felt that he felt a little sorry for Liu Shui about this matter.
I think this is an arranged marriage.
Without Liu Shui's knowledge, he arranged a marriage with Liu Shui.
But everyone who knew about this matter thought it was normal, and no one thought Liu Cheng's behavior was wrong.
After all, this is the norm of this era.
Living in this era, especially in large families, not only women are not free to marry, but many men from high-ranking families are also not free.
A certain degree of sacrifice needs to be made for the sake of the family and the interests.
Not to mention Liu Shui, isn't Liu Cheng himself the same?
Originally, according to his original intention, he did not want to marry Dong Bai.
As a result, now, doesn’t he still become Dong Bai’s fiancé?
…
On the third day, Liu Cheng, Liu Shui's elder brother, took Xun You and some other people, and brought the necessary gifts to Wu Yi's place with great fanfare.
It's also amazing to say.
The last time Liu Cheng was engaged to Cai Yan himself, due to some special circumstances, he was unable to return to Luoyang to carry out the engagement in person, so he asked Liu Shui, his younger brother, and Lu Yang, his retainer, to help with the work.
Now, it's his turn as the elder brother to personally take care of his brother Liu Shui's marriage...
On Wu Yi's side, there was also a big fanfare. Those who followed Liu Yan into Yizhou, the more prominent people, and those who could come, basically all came.
He was even more serious than Liu Cheng.
From this we can see how much Wu Yi and others attach great importance to this matter...
Things went smoothly. The two parties had already discussed it. Now it was time to go through a process and announce to everyone that Wu Yi's sister and Liu Huangshu's brother had made an engagement. From now on, they are a family.
After all, the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves.
Liu Cheng was a little dizzy after drinking.
As for Wu Yi and others, many of them got drunk immediately and went under the table on the spot.
Wu Yi drank too much and talked too much.
This time, I lived up to the instructions of my deceased parents and found a good family for my sister...
When a marriage is settled, many people are happy about it.
But not everyone feels happy.
For example, Liu Zhang, who was under house arrest, couldn't help but curse in a low voice after learning the news.
He scolded Wu Yi for being unreasonable and unkind!
When his father was around, he took great care of him.
As a result, now, his father and brother have just died and their bones are not yet cold. Wu Yi is already crying and begging to marry his sister to Liu Cheng's younger brother!
That is the unmarried wife of my third brother!
As a result, now, she has become Liu Cheng’s sister-in-law!
He also scolded Li Yan and others for being ungrateful.
He scolded Liu Cheng for bullying others.
But the one who scolded the most was Wu Yi...
But now, Liu Zhang could only curse like this, he didn't even dare to curse loudly, he could only curse in a low voice...
How angry Liu Zhang was, no one paid attention to him.
At this time, no one cares what he thinks...
And Liu Cheng, after returning that day, began to write letters to Liu Shui.
Tell Liu Shui that his elder brother has found him the great news of a beautiful daughter-in-law.
In the letter, of course he used pen and ink to praise Liu Shui's sister Wu Yi.
The words he used were more sophisticated and better than when Li Yan was talking to Liu Cheng before.
Wu Yi's sister is simply someone who should exist in heaven.
The depth of brotherly love is vividly reflected.
Later in writing, Liu Cheng revealed his true thoughts to Liu Shui, telling Liu Shui the dilemma he encountered and the necessity to do so.
After all, they are brothers, and they still depend on each other for life.
Different from others.
These things can be discussed in detail.
No need to be secretive.
Otherwise, it will make things worse...
…
It was already dark at night, Zhang Lu was lying on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.
His mind was completely disturbed by what happened today.
At that time, he was at Wu Yi's place.
After witnessing the betrothal and the engagement, Wu Yi was so happy that he was drunk.
To be honest, he is really envious!
My eyes are red with envy!
I really wish I could replace it with my own body.
But it is a pity that it was not him who experienced this, but Wu Yi.
And he only had one brother, who died, and no sister.
My daughter is only a few years old and is really too young.
After thinking about it, Zhang Lu's thoughts that had arisen before finally started burning in his heart again.
He had been thinking about this in his mind for a long time.
It has never been implemented.
But now, with Wu Yi's living example in front of him, he finally couldn't hold back anymore...
After thinking here for a while, Zhang Lu made up his mind.
He got up, walked out of the room, and headed towards another room.
Went to find his mother.
Zhang Lu's mother was released on the day Liu Cheng ordered the disposal of Liu Yan's family.
After all, Zhang Lu, a surrendered general, has to give face...
…
The next afternoon, towards dusk, Zhang Lu came to Liu Cheng...
