After hearing the concerns expressed by his younger brother Liu Shui, Liu Cheng thought for a while and shook his head: "I won't persuade you, and you shouldn't persuade either.
Both parties are my in-laws, one is my father-in-law and the other is my father-in-law. In this case, I can’t persuade either of them to succeed, and neither of them will be successful.
Not only will it not solve the problem, it will make it worse...
Your persuasion is the same as my persuasion.
You are my younger brother. If you go to persuade me right now, what you say is not what I mean. They will think that is what I mean...
Let them make trouble first."
Seeing that Liu Shui still looked a little anxious, Liu Cheng smiled and said: "Don't worry too much about this matter. Your sister-in-law is here with your teacher. With her intelligence, she will definitely stop your teacher and prevent him from messing around.
act.
This matter cannot be messed up.
It's not appropriate for me to express my opinion. You can talk to your sister-in-law and your teacher about anything."
"But what if my sister-in-law didn't stop my teacher, or what if she couldn't?"
Liu Shui continued to ask questions.
Liu Chengdao: "This won't happen.
To put it bluntly, even if it really happened, nothing would happen and I would still be standing here.
Even if both sides want to quarrel, there must be a limit."
Seeing that his brother had already made up his mind about this matter, Liu Shui was worried and disappeared.
He still believed in his brother as always.
Since my brother said there is no problem, then there will definitely be no problem.
If there is really a problem, I will stand by my brother's side and solve the problem.
Right now, I am having dinner here with my brother...
…
"Grandpa, don't go!"
At Cai Yong's house, just as Liu Cheng expected, when he saw that his grandfather was going to find Dong Zhuo to seek justice for this matter, Cai Yan immediately ran over and grabbed Cai Yong to prevent Cai Yong from doing this.
Do.
"No! What happened this time is related to Zhaoji's majesty and status in the future. You can't give in at all costs!
Since Dong Zhuo dared to do that, I, Cai Yong, dared to go and argue with him!
He doesn’t want his face anymore, and neither do I!
Could it be that his granddaughter is the one he loves, but not my daughter?!"
Cai Yong's attitude on this matter this time was extremely firm.
Not moved at all.
"Zhaoji, don't be afraid. Then Dong Zhuo doesn't dare to really do anything to me. He will need me in many places in the future.
He doesn't even dare to do anything to you, Zhaoji.
Zhaoji, you are not only my Cai Yong’s daughter, but also Kede’s unmarried wife!”
Cai Yong struggled to get Cai Yan to let go, and he wanted to find Dong Zhuo to continue his argument.
Cai Yan smiled and said: "Grandpa, my daughter is not afraid, but she feels that there is no need to fight about this matter. If Grand Master Dong wants to make Dong Bai the King of Weiyang, then just do it. Whatever you want to do, do it."
No matter how much you do, what's the use?
It still doesn’t change the fact that I got engaged to the emperor’s uncle first, and I am the emperor’s right wife.
Moreover, from now on, Dong Bai and I will marry the emperor's uncle together, and we will become his people. Our status with the emperor's uncle will not be a high one ourselves, but then our status will be high.
My daughter is confident that she will not suffer any loss when she marries the emperor's uncle. Doesn't it mean that I don't believe in my daughter?"
After Cai Yong heard this, he calmed down a little, but he still felt angry in his heart: "But even so, Dong Zhuo can't do this. This is clearly bullying others."
Cai Yan smiled and said: "Master, you are careless and confused. You care too much about your daughter. There are some things that you didn't notice.
Grandpa, why do you think Dong Zhuo would do something like this at this juncture?"
Cai Yong still had a lot of anger in his chest, and when he heard this, he didn't bother to think too much, so he said: "Dong Zhuo has always been arrogant, and he wants to use some means to elevate his granddaughter and suppress Zhao Ji at this time.
you?"
Cai Yan laughed when he heard this and said, "Master, that's not the case. It's because Master Dong is worried about his granddaughter.
He was worried that his granddaughter would suffer in the future.
The biggest reason is probably that he saw the behavior between the two of us when we welcomed the emperor's uncle yesterday, which is why he became so worried and did such a thing.
Grandpa, why have you always been so indifferent and not even thinking about doing anything about this matter?
This is because Grandpa, you are very confident about your daughter.
I know my daughter will not suffer any disadvantage after getting married, so I am so calm!"
People who can talk should talk more.
Originally, Cai Yong was filled with anger and was ready to find Dong Zhuo and break up with Dong Zhuo.
As a result, now, after listening to Cai Yan's words, a rich smile couldn't help but appear on his face.
The anger in my heart has almost dissipated.
"Zhaoji, you are right. Dong Zhuo is indeed powerful, but what's the use?
Compared with my daughter, his granddaughter is far behind!
I don’t have to sit here for anything, he can’t compare to me!”
There was a smile on his face and he looked very arrogant when he said this.
When Cai Yan saw his grandfather, the smile on his face became fuller.
After all, it’s my grandpa who is a bit stubborn sometimes, but he is cute in his stubbornness.
"Moreover, this matter is not just a matter for our two families, but also for Uncle Liu Huang.
If we make a fuss, it will not look good to the emperor's uncle, and it will put him in a dilemma.
Grandpa felt that this time, we were more tolerant and did not make trouble with Dong Zhuo. Compared with Dong Zhuo's aggressive behavior of interfering in the affairs of the emperor's uncle, who seemed stronger or weaker to the emperor's uncle?
Again, after getting married, what you get from your natal family is not that important. What is important is Uncle Liu Huang's attitude.
This is the fundamental..."
The smile on Cai Yong's face became even stronger.
As his daughter said, before, he loved his daughter so much that he was temporarily confused and did not think deeply about it.
At this time, after being analyzed in this way by his daughter, he immediately discovered that this matter was exactly what his daughter said. This time it was Dong Zhuo who made a mistake.
Trying to improve his granddaughter's status had the opposite effect.
As long as you stay calm here and don't do anything about it, you can win.
Going to compete would be bad and counterproductive.
After all, they will all have to live with Uncle Liu Huang from now on.
It would be easy to say that Uncle Liu Huang was just an ordinary person.
But my good son-in-law is obviously not.
Under such circumstances, it is obviously not good to control too much and interfere too much...
…
Dong Zhuo is here.
After Dong Zhuo announced this matter, he had been waiting for Cai Yong to come over and talk to him.
Long before he heard Li Ru's plan and prepared to do this, he had already thought of Cai Yong's reaction and prepared a countermeasure.
As a result, after waiting for five days, when the ceremony to confer Weiyang Lord on his daughter was about to begin, Cai Yong did not even come to tell him about it.
I have never asked anyone else to act as an intermediary or mentioned this matter.
It was as if this thing had never happened before.
"well……"
Dong Zhuo couldn't help but sigh.
This time, my step was a little bad, and I fell behind.
However, my granddaughter has such a personality, if she doesn’t make some arrangements in advance, she will really suffer a loss!
Knowing that I might fall into the inferior category, I had no choice but to do this.
This Cai Bojie gave birth to a wonderful daughter!
If his granddaughter was as smart as Uncle Cai's daughter, then he wouldn't have to worry so much...
The ceremony held with Dong Bai to confer the title of Lord of Weiyang was extremely grand.
It was not held in Chang'an City, but in a dock dozens of miles away from Chang'an City, where some outlines and buildings had been built.
Southeast of Xiwu, a platform was built.
It is three feet in diameter and more than eight feet high.
On the platform, there are some flags of various colors, which are beautifully decorated and have some majesty.
There were some soldiers guarding with swords.
There is a person standing on the platform, Dong Zhuo's nephew Dong Huang.
He will represent the imperial court to reward Dong Bai.
Originally Dong Zhuo wanted to do this himself.
But after thinking about it, it wasn’t quite appropriate.
Mainly because of Cai Yong's reaction, he felt that it would be inappropriate to do this again.
So my nephew Dong Huang was asked to do this.
Dong Huang stood here waiting, counting the time.
After waiting for about half an hour, there was finally movement.
There is a large group of people walking towards this direction.
The status of these people on foot is not simple at all. They can be seen everywhere, such as captains, generals, governors, admonishment officials, Guanglu officials, etc.
Except for those at the three-gong level who did not come over, the rest of the officials were basically transferred as soon as they could.
They have very distinguished status and high status. At this time, they are all walking.
Do the work of guidance.
Behind them, there were strong horses pulling a cart forward.
The carriage is resplendent and inlaid with precious stones of various colors, and the canopy is also a gilded green umbrella canopy.
Just a piece of the gems inlaid on this vehicle would be enough to feed and clothe an ordinary family of three for a year.
Still relatively wealthy.
This shows how luxurious this car is.
It can be said to be a complete luxury car.
On top of the cart, under the gilded green umbrella, sat Dong Bai in full regalia.
With such a formation and the gorgeous clothes on his body, Dong Bai looked even more luxurious and a proper rich woman.
Dong Huang stood on the high platform and looked at this scene from a distance, feeling very envious.
Such treatment was not given even when he was a prince before!
This shows how much his uncle loves Dong Bai.
It is enough to see Liu Cheng's good luck.
Such a pearl is willing to marry Liu Cheng!
The team kept moving forward and stopped when they came to the main road near the high platform.
The officials leading the way began to take action and lined up on both sides to greet them.
Dong's white carriage moved forward slowly and passed through this narrow road.
Since Dong Zhuo came to power, these officials have also been unlucky and busy.
Often used as a tool.
Not long ago, they lined up to welcome Liu Cheng, who led the army and returned in triumph, and now they are once again guiding Dong Bai Fengjun...
It can be said that since Dong Zhuo took power, the other business abilities of these people have not improved.
But the ability to line up to welcome people has improved a lot...
Dong Huang quickly came down from the stage, walked all the way to the carriage, and invited Dong Bai to get off.
Dong Bai got out of the car with the help of the maid, and then, under the guidance of Dong Huang, stepped onto the high platform step by step...
The cards are so huge that countless people are heartbroken.
However, Liu Cheng was not among those who attended the ceremony.
On the one hand, Liu Cheng is now General Wei and has a high status.
The more important aspect is that Liu Cheng will marry Dong Bai soon.
He is Dong Bai's husband.
At this time, if Dong Zhuo asked Liu Cheng to participate in Dong Bai's ceremony of enthroning the king as a tool, it would be more than just wanting to give his granddaughter a strong reputation before getting married!
Instead, he directly wanted his granddaughter to overwhelm Liu Cheng and ride directly on Liu Cheng!
This is obviously impossible.
If you really do this, things will really be self-defeating...
With the conclusion of the grand enthronement ceremony held for Dong Bai, the time for Liu Cheng's marriage was also set, on November 20th.
There are still thirty-one days until this day.
The date was set by Liu Cheng.
Generally speaking, the man decides the date of marriage. After the man looks forward to the date, some well-spoken and well-educated people from the man's side will go to the woman's side with gifts to discuss the matter.
This process is called ‘sending goods’.
Basically, the date sent by the man will not be changed.
Of course, if there is indeed an emergency on the woman's side, certain changes can be made according to the situation...
Liu Cheng actually didn't want to set the date so late at the beginning.
He wants to get married soon.
Of course, it was not that he was impatient to enjoy the blessings of the Qi people. The most important thing was that he wanted to set a trap for Han Sui and Ma as soon as possible and lure these people out of Liangzhou as soon as possible.
Conquer one more state.
Our Uncle Liu Huang is also a good man who focuses on his career.
To him, female sex is really just a matter of sex.
At least, this is what he thought after entering the sage mode after discussing knowledge with Diao Chan again...
The reason why he decided to set it relatively low was because this was his first marriage and the woman was unusual.
His marriage was different from ordinary marriages in that it involved many other things.
If the time is too short, it will not be arranged at all.
Thirty-one days are not enough, and it seems a bit rushed...
After the news and date were announced, Chang'an City once again became lively.
Not only Liu Cheng was busy making various preparations, but Dong Zhuo's house and Cai Yong's house were also busy preparing for the future marriage of their daughter...
A large number of people, as soon as they learned the news, set out from Chang'an, mainly towards Guandong, and passed the news through various channels to those who were concerned about this matter.
People convey...
As this news spread, not only Chang'an was busy, but many other places began to become busy...
"Don't go! Don't go! No matter what, don't go!
That guy Liu Cheng just cheated me out of 500,000 shi of rice and made me a joke.
Yuan Shao, that little maid-raised guy, wrote a letter to mock me two days ago.
At this time, how can I carry the gift and stick it up?
Am I, Yuan Shu, shameless?
I, the fourth and third son of the Yuan family, am not better than the pig-killer?
Do you need to flatter him like this?!"
Here in Nanyang, Yuan Shu is losing his temper.
The whole person seemed rather irritable.
In front of him stood his chief secretary Yan Xiang.
"Lord, if something big happens, you have to endure your anger for a while!
Liu Chengwei got married and married Dong Zhuo's granddaughter. This was a big event.
As expected, Liu Biao, Yuan Shao and others will send people to congratulate him with gifts at this time.
Yuan Shao had signed an alliance agreement with Liu Cheng and Dong Zhuo behind Liu Cheng.
It is certain to send someone there.
It doesn't matter if everyone doesn't congratulate you.
Everyone is destined to go to congratulate us now. If we don't go, we will be too conspicuous.
Will turn against Liu Cheng and Dong Zhuo.
The five hundred thousand shi of rice that we paid before was completely in vain."
Yan Xiang, the chief clerk, looked at Yuan Shu and tried to persuade him earnestly, not to let Yuan Shu act on his own initiative.
But no matter how he tried to persuade him, Yuan Shu refused to listen. He was determined to fight to the end and would never give any gifts to Liu Cheng who had tricked him.
Yan Xiang even said it was over, but there was nothing he could do.
In the end, he could only sigh and leave Yuan Shu.
I feel very helpless for Yuan Shu's use of energy...
The next day after Yan Xiang returned, just when Yan Xiang was about to go to persuade Yuan Shu again, suddenly someone sent by Yuan Shu came in a hurry.
He informed Yan Xiang that it was Yuan Shu, the later general, and asked him to come over to discuss going to Guanzhong as an envoy to attend the wedding of Liu Cheng's traitor.
When Yan Xiang heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then his heart blossomed with joy.
My lord, I really can't hold him back, and I'm trying to push him backwards!
For some things, the more you persuade him not to do it, the more he will do it.
If you stop paying attention to him, he will figure it out on his own...
…
"It's not that I'm afraid of the pig-killer and trying to curry favor with him, but I'm considering the overall situation.
And although we know a lot about the situation in Guanzhong, we don’t have enough weight to see it with our own eyes.
I just want to take this opportunity to go and have a look and see what this level is like.
Also, there are many forces involved in Liu Cheng's thief's wedding, and they will send their most trusted and trusted people to attend.
When the chief is here, I can also take this opportunity to meet more of these people, find out about their situation, and see if I can win over some people to be mine.
Especially the people from Gongsun Zan.
Yuan Shao's little maid had a dark heart and directly deceived Gongsun Zan. He used Gongsun Zan as a tool and deceived him. With the help of Gongsun Zan, he easily obtained Jizhou.
Not even a little soup was left for Gongsun Zan.
Gongsun Zan will definitely hate Yuan Shao for raising him as a servant.
This is an opportunity for us.
Gongsun Zan is in the north and we are in the south. When the time comes, we can attack from both sides and beat Yuan Shao’s little maid!"
Yuan Shu explained to Yan Xiang like this.
Without Yan Xiang opening his mouth, he explained many of the benefits of this trip.
It seems that if this is the case, you will be able to pass your own psychological level.
Others won't think that he is trying to curry favor with Liu Cheng...
"On behalf of your lord, Yan Xiang must keep this in mind. He must make great achievements here and live up to his hard work."
Yan Xiang bowed respectfully to Yuan Shu and said...
Yan Xiang was ready to go soon.
After Yan Xiang left with his troops and a lot of valuable gifts, Yuan Shu showed a smile on his face, stretched out his hand to touch his face, and whispered: "This way no one will say that I flatter the thief Liu Cheng, right?
"
Then, he remembered that the dog thief Liu Cheng had stolen 500,000 stones of rice from him, and now he had to send someone to bring valuable gifts to attend the wedding of the dog thief, and he suddenly became angry again.
"I will remember these for you! When the time comes, I will ask you to return them double!"
Yuan Shu said this.
He didn't just say it.
After he finished speaking, he quickly found a piece of expensive cloth, picked up a pen and wrote on it, and wrote down the incident in a notebook.
Afraid that he would forget in the future and that his determination was not strong enough, Yuan Shu prepared to bite his fingers open and press a bloody hand on them.
I bit it twice and found it painful, so I changed my mind.
Find the ink pad and press the red fingerprint...
Jingzhou, Liu Biao's place.
"My lord, my subordinates feel that it is time to send someone to attend Liu Cheng's wedding with congratulatory gifts.
Liu Cheng occupied Yizhou, and his troops moved down the river. The first one to bear the brunt was our Jingzhou.
At this time, even if I have to hold back the nausea in my heart, I still have to do this..."
Kuai Liang looked at Liu Biao and said this, trying to persuade him.
Liu Biao naturally knew the correctness of what Kuai Liang said.
Just thinking about how he had been cheated out of so much food by Liu Cheng and his fellows before, and at this time he had to send people specially with a lot of free gifts to celebrate the marriage of Liu Cheng and his fellows, Liu Biao said.
I feel depressed.
It is simply more uncomfortable than eating a blowfly when eating!
"Forget it, just let this guy take advantage of you and treat it like feeding a dog."
After struggling for a while, Liu Biao sighed and said this.
"You, Zirou, will lead the team to do this, and the others will lead the team. I don't trust you. Zirou should do things safely."
What happened this time seemed to be attending Liu Cheng's wedding, but in fact, it was far from as simple as attending his wedding.
Smart people need to be sent there.
People like Cai Mao, Zhang Rang, and Huang Zu were quite capable of leading troops in battles, but if they were allowed to do this, it would be really embarrassing.
Their intelligence is not bad, but they are still not suitable for such occasions.
Kuai Liang did not refuse after hearing the words. He bowed his hands respectfully to Liu Biao and said, "When I leave, I should try my best to get as many useful things as possible and come back."
Hearing what Kuai Liang said, a smile appeared on Liu Biao's face.
Just thinking that I have to give gifts to Liu Cheng, the pig-killer, makes me feel very uncomfortable. Some of the joy that just arose has disappeared...
Here in Pingyuan County, Sun Qian quickly headed towards Liu Bei...
