Liu Xuan was stunned for a moment, then he looked up and smiled disapprovingly, and said nonchalantly: "You are unfounded. Liu Sheng can't resist, and he doesn't have the courage. Besides, I and Liu Sheng are both descendants of the great ancestor, and he is
How can you rebel against me?"
Seeing that Cao Xu wanted to speak, Liu Xuan waved his hand to him, indicating that he didn't need to say more about this matter.
Cao Xu had no choice but to shake his head secretly and stopped talking.
Liu Xuan went to the Cao family and his son to discuss how to deal with the greed of the Green Forest Department, but after discussing for a long time, no result was reached. At present, Liu Xuan's family is still too weak, mainly because he has no military power and has no way to deal with the Green Forest Department.
.
The matter was fruitless, so Liu Xuan had no choice but to obediently accept Wang Kuang's request, which required 200,000 shi of grain and 8 million yuan from the treasury to be sent to the Luoyang front line.
He sighed in depression. After a while, he thought of another thing. His eyes flashed brightly and he asked: "If I decree that the Yin clan be the queen, what do you think?"
Hearing this, Cao Jing and Cao Xu were both shocked. They both looked at Liu Xuan with surprised eyes and disbelief. Now, does your majesty still have any thoughts about Yin Lihua? Could it be that your majesty forgot about it so quickly?
What happened next time?
After thinking about it, the two of them realized that last time because of Liu Yan, they forcibly stopped His Majesty, which made His Majesty always feel resentful.
But now that Liu Yan is gone, His Majesty wants to untie the knot in his heart from last time, so his eyes naturally fall on Yin Lihua again.
Cao Jing reminded him seriously: "Your Majesty, the Yin family has an engagement with General Liu."
At that time, it was not easy to marry a woman who was already engaged, even if she was the emperor.
Liu Xuan shrugged and said nonchalantly: "Although there was an engagement, we never got married. Now the Yin family is still innocent!"
Cao Jing almost laughed, angrily. This had nothing to do with whether Yin Lihua was innocent or not. He said meaningfully: "Your Majesty's reputation is more important than anything else."
The emperor wants to marry a woman with whom he is engaged and make her his queen. If this spreads out, it will be too unpleasant. Not only will the emperor lose face, but the court will also lose face.
Liu Xuan has indeed always been obsessed with Yin Lihua. In the past, he did not dare to act rashly because of Liu Yan's threat. Now that Liu Yan is finally dead, who can stop the woman he wanted?
Seeing that neither Cao Jing nor Cao Xu supported his idea of establishing Yin Lihua as queen, Liu Xuan said nothing more.
Liu Xuan knew the Cao family and his son very well. They were both well-educated people with rigid minds and did not know how to adapt. He murmured in his heart that it would be most appropriate for him to discuss this matter with Zhao Meng.
If anyone can be said to have the same chemistry as Liu Xuan, it must be Zhao Meng. Liu Xuan dotes on Zhao Meng, not just because Zhao Meng is his father-in-law.
Tonight's negotiation came to an end, and Cao Jing and Cao Xu said goodbye to Liu Xuan.
After leaving the palace and getting on the carriage back home, Cao Jing shook his head repeatedly and said helplessly: "At present, there are internal and external troubles, the royal family is weak, and your majesty is still obsessed with women. It should not be done."
"And she is still engaged to a woman." Cao Xu frowned and added angrily. He had a close personal relationship with Liu Xiu. If Liu Xuan fell in love with someone else's fiancée, Cao Xu would not be so angry.
Cao Jing also had a good relationship with Liu Xiu. In private, he often accepted gifts from Liu Xiu. Now Liu Xuan was targeting Yin Lihua, which made Cao Jing feel very uncomfortable.
He pondered for a moment and said: "Xu'er, tomorrow, you go talk to Uncle Wen and give him some advice. If you should get married, get married as soon as possible!"
Cao Xu's eyes flashed, revealing a look of sudden realization. Yes, as long as Liu Xiu and Yin Lihua were not officially married, His Majesty would always have undue thoughts towards Yin Lihua.
Once the two of them got married, His Majesty had no choice but to put an end to his unwanted thoughts. He nodded and said, "Ah, I'll go find Uncle Wen tomorrow."
"Um."
Liu Xiu's eldest brother Liu Yan has just passed away. It is really not a good idea to let him get married at this time, but it is much better than having his fiancée taken away and becoming the laughing stock of the world.
The next day, Cao Xu really went to Liu Xiu's residence and reminded him that he should marry Yin Lihua as soon as possible to avoid long nights and dreams. He did not directly tell Liu Xiu about Liu Xuan's evil intentions towards Yin Lihua, but the meaning behind his words was clear. It's obvious.
In fact, the Cao family and his son were overly worried this time, and they did not deliberately remind Liu Xiu of the need.
Liu Xuan's obsession with Yin Lihua was as expected by Liu Xiu and Yan Guang.
During this time, Yan Guang was not in Wancheng, but went to Xinye. He was going to propose marriage to the Yin family on behalf of Liu Xiu.
After Liu Xiu's incident, Yin Shi and Yin Xing were worried about being affected, so they immediately took Yin Lihua back to Xinye. Now that it was inconvenient for Liu Xiu to leave Wancheng and come to Xinye to propose marriage, Yan Guang could only do it on his behalf.
When Yan Guang came, he specially brought a token of love between Liu Xiu and Yin Lihua.
In the Yin Mansion in Xinye, Yin Lu, Yin Shi, Yin Xing and his son met Yan Guang. After a brief exchange of greetings, Yan Guang got to the point and said calmly: "What happened in Wancheng must be caused by Mr. Yin and the two Yins." The young master also knows that now, my lord seems to be under house arrest in Wancheng. He is in a difficult situation and his life is precarious." As he spoke, he took out the jade pendant 'Hanrui' that Yin Lu had given to Liu Yan and treated him respectfully. The ground was handed to Yin Lu.
Yin Lu's expression changed, he stood up involuntarily and asked, "Mr. Yan, what do you mean?"
Yan Guang said seriously: "Currently, my lord is in a dangerous situation in Wancheng, and he is walking on thin ice. If the Yin family reneges on this marriage, I will return the original token on my lord's behalf."
"this……"
"If the Yin family has no regrets and is not afraid of being implicated by the lord, then Zi Ling has a heartless request. I hope that the lord Yin will agree and let the lord and Miss Yin get married on the second day of the next lunar month."
Yin Lu changed color again, frowned, looked at Yan Guang, and remained silent.
Yin Lu was originally very satisfied with Liu Xiu, his prospective son-in-law, who was handsome and came from a Han clan clan, so he needed to be capable and prestigious. But with Liu Yan's murder, everything changed.
Liu Xiu is now completely idle in the court. He is not loved by his grandma, not loved by his uncle, and cannot see any development in the future. How can Liu Xiu be worthy of such an outstanding daughter? For this family, the family has already decided Yin Lu already regretted the marriage.
It cannot be said that Yin Lu is snobbish. As a father, his considerations are completely human. What father doesn't want his daughter to have a smooth life and live a happy life?
Now Yan Guang came to the door with a token of engagement, with an attitude of either canceling the engagement or getting married, which made Yin Lu feel very unhappy.
It feels like Liu Xiu is forcing the marriage. Now that his eldest brother Liu Yan has just passed away, he is so eager to get married. Now Yin Lu even has doubts about Liu Xiu's character.
Seeing his father's hesitation, Yin Shi and Yin Xing became anxious. The younger sister and Liu Xiu were in love with each other, a talented man and a beautiful woman, and both Liu Yan and Liu Xiu had saved the younger sister. Based on this alone, Yin There is no reason to regret the marriage!
Before the two of them could speak, a firm voice came from outside the lobby door: "Father, Lihua is willing to marry Uncle Wen!" Following the words, Yin Lihua walked in from the door holding up her skirt.
Seeing Yin Lihua, Yan Guang quickly bowed his hands and said, "Miss Yin!"
Yin Lihua returned the courtesy to Yan Guangfu and said, "Mr. Yan."
As she spoke, she looked at Yin Lu and said seriously: "Since we have a marriage contract, Lihua will marry Uncle Wen no matter whether he is rich or poor, high or low. The Yin family is a famous family in Nanyang, and we should build the world with sincerity. I hope my father will agree. !”
Yin Lu naturally knew that his daughter was enamored with Liu Xiu, but the problem was that Liu Xiu was now in a quagmire. If she married him at this time, Lihua might also be in trouble too.
Yin Lu said worriedly: "Bo Sheng has just passed away. It would be too early for Uncle Wen to get married at this time..."
Although Liu Yan is not Liu Xiu's father and does not need him to observe filial piety, he is his eldest brother after all. He will get married a few days after Liu Yan's death. Is this appropriate? If word spreads, Liu Xiu and the Yin family will be laughed at.
Yan Guang bowed his hands to Yin Lu and said, "My lord understands what Yin Gong said, and Zi Ling also understands it, but my lord has a reason why he has to get married soon."
The main purpose of Liu Xiu's doing this was to confuse his political opponents, including Liu Xuan, Wang Kuang, and even Zhu Tuna, Zhang Xian and others, so that they would feel that the brotherhood between Liu Xiu and Liu Yan was not as deep as rumored. This will dispel their fear and murderous intention towards Liu Xiu.
Yin Lu frowned and said nothing. Yin Lihua said again: "Father, Lihua will never marry anyone other than Uncle Wen in this life!"
Yin Lihua's attitude was so firm that Yin Lu wanted to object but was unable to speak out. In the end, Yin Lu could only sigh and said meaningfully: "No matter how difficult and dangerous the path you choose in the future, you have to keep going. ah!"
After speaking, Yin Lu coughed and was supported by a servant before returning to his room. After Yin Lu left, Yin Lihua looked at Yan Guang and asked: "Mr. Yan, Uncle Wen... Uncle Wen is now How is the situation?"
Yin Lihua could also guess some of the blow Liu Xiu suffered when Liu Yan was killed. Yan Guang smiled lightly and said: "It was fine during the day, my lord receives guests every day, but at night, the food in my lord's room was not touched. Passed by, and there were often sounds of crying.”
After hearing this, Yin Lihua's eyes turned red and tears rolled in her eyes. Yin Shi and Yin Xing also felt sad and kept rubbing their eyes. Yin Lihua choked and said: "Lihua doesn't understand the affairs of the court, Lihua only knows Both eldest brother and Uncle Wen have saved Lihua's life, and Uncle Wen and Lihua are in love with each other. Today, eldest brother is in trouble, Uncle Wen is in a difficult situation, and Lihua will not stay out of it."
Upon hearing this, Yan Guang bowed respectfully to Yin Lihua without saying a word. Then, he looked at Yin Lihua and said with a smile on his face: "If my lord knows what Miss Lihua is thinking, he will be able to clear away the gloom in his heart."
Liu Xiu sent Yan Guang to Xinye to propose marriage, but Yin Lu seemed hesitant. However, due to Yin Lihua's firm attitude, and precisely because of Yin Lihua's attitude, Yin Lu finally accepted the marriage and kept the relationship between the two. The date is scheduled for the second day of next month.
Liu Xuan has never given up his suspicion of Yin Lihua. He and Zhao Meng are still planning on what to do to bring Yin Lihua closer to the palace.
As a result, a sudden 'good news' shocked him and made his and Zhao Meng's plans go to waste.
Liu Xiu and Yin Lihua will get married on the second day of the Lunar New Year next month.
Hearing this so-called good news, Liu Xuan wondered if he had heard it wrong. The second day of next month?
It's the end of the month now, and there are only five days left until the second day of the new month next month. Liu Xiu and Yin Lihua are going to get married so soon? Didn't Liu Yan just die? Didn't Liu Xiu have a deep feeling for Liu Yan?
