Four hundred and thirtieth chapters want to marry a family
It was precisely because Liu Yang was not optimistic about Wang Lang but was forced by the pressure from Handan that he chose to surrender to Wang Lang but not give Wang Lang any aid or support.
Liu Yang took the tea cup, took another sip of tea, and asked: "So, based on Bo Xian's opinion, what should I do?"
Liu Zhi said seriously: "Submit to Da Sima!"
Liu Yang and Liu Zhi looked at each other for a moment, became happy, and said, "Bo Xian, do you think Liu Xiu can achieve great things in Hebei?"
After a pause, he said quietly: "Boss, please don't forget that Wang Lang has the support of Liu Lin and Liu Jie, but Liu Xiu has no foundation in Hebei."
Liu Zhi smiled and said: "Da Sima has no foundation in Hebei. Now he has the support of Shanggu County, Yuyang County, and Zhongshan County. It can be seen that Da Sima's reputation and ability are far higher than Wang Lang's.
.If one day Wang Lang is destroyed, what will happen to King Zhending who supports Wang Lang?"
Liu Yang was shocked. This was exactly what he was worried about. He smiled bitterly and said: "I'm afraid it's too late to join Da Sima now!"
Liu Zhi was startled and asked in confusion: "How can King Zhending say this?"
Liu Yang said quietly: "When Da Sima was in trouble, I stood on the side of Handan and stood by and watched. Now that Da Sima has the support of the three counties, he has successfully overcome the difficulties. It seems that I am too much to rely on Da Sima again.
... Make the most of the situation! If Da Sima succeeds in Hebei in the future, I am afraid he will settle accounts with my queen!"
It turns out that this is what Liu Yang was worried about! Liu Zhi blinked his eyes, smiled lightly, and said, "I already thought about this problem on the way to Zhending."
"Oh?" Liu Yang asked with a smile, "Does Mr. Bo have any countermeasures?"
Liu Zhi said sternly: "I have been with Da Sima for a few days, and I have some understanding of Da Sima. Da Sima has a mellow temperament and is an upright man. He is definitely not a villain who will settle accounts after the fall and kill donkeys! As long as King Zhending is now
If you are willing to stand on Da Sima's side, Da Sima will definitely not treat King Zhending badly in the future. King Zhending's worries are really too much."
Liu Yang shook his head with a wry smile and said: "One thing on the surface but another behind the scenes. When he is in trouble, he talks about benevolence, righteousness and morality. When he is in power, he becomes ruthless and turns swords on each other. Mr. Bo, have we not seen such a person often? Before
With Wang Mang and Wang Lang behind him, is it possible that Liu Xiu will be missing from him?"
It can be seen that Liu Yang is too worried about Liu Xiu. He is afraid that if Liu Xiu uses him now, he will give him little shoes to wear and cause trouble for him later.
Liu Zhi frowned and asked: "Is it true that King Ding has made up his mind to stand on Wang Lang's side, live and die with Wang Lang, and advance and retreat together?"
Liu Yang was shocked, waved his hand and said: "Of course this is not what I mean, but now that I am asked to submit to Da Sima, I am really worried and have trouble sleeping and eating!"
Having said this, he secretly glanced at Liu Zhi and saw that the latter's brows were furrowed in deep thought.
He sighed softly again and said: "If this concern of my king can be dispelled, I can lead my Zhending army of more than 100,000 to submit to the Great Sima. From now on, these more than 100,000 Zhending troops can be at the mercy of the Great Sima.
dispatch."
Liu Zhi's eyes suddenly lit up and he hurriedly asked: "How can we dispel King Zhending's concerns?"
Liu Yang laughed heartily and said, "I need you to come up with an idea, uncle."
Liu Zhi was almost angry. He was just a lobbyist, so what ideas could he come up with? Before he could continue the conversation, Liu Yang changed the subject and said slowly: "I have three daughters, all of whom have hairpins, but they are all
The boudoir to be married to."
At this point, Liu Yang stopped talking. Liu Zhi was so smart. When he heard this, he immediately understood what Liu Yang meant. It turned out that Liu Yang and Liu Xiu were like sons and daughters. To put it bluntly, he wanted to
Liu Xiu's father-in-law.
In this way, Liu Yang and Liu Xiu are tied together. From now on, they will be a family, and they will both prosper and suffer.
Liu Zhi really didn't expect that Liu Yang had this idea. He pondered for a moment and said: "King Zhending, this matter is not a trivial matter. I must go back to Jiangcheng to discuss it with my lord."
Liu Yang nodded and said with a smile: "For the sake of solemnity, Bo Xian would like to ask Da Sima to come in person to make a decision. If Bo Xian and Da Sima can trust me."
Liu Zhi was stunned for a moment, then he raised his hands and said, "When I go back first, I will definitely bring King Zhending's wishes with me."
"Okay, okay, okay!" Liu Yang smiled while stroking his hands, and ordered his servants to prepare food and wine to entertain Liu Zhi.
Liu Zhi stayed in Zhending for one day. Early the next morning, he said goodbye to Liu Yang and returned to Gancheng. When he returned to Gancheng, Liu Zhi met Liu Xiu and told him the story of his meeting with Liu Yang in detail.
.
Finally, he said: "My lord, King Zhending did not insist on joining the lord, but because he was too worried. He was afraid that the lord would settle accounts with his wife after he succeeded. Therefore, he has been standing still, neither helping the prince nor the lord.
.If the lord can marry the king of Zhending, then the worries in the heart of the king of Zhending will be completely dispelled. I hope the lord will think twice about this matter!"
In his heart, Liu Zhi very much hoped that Liu Xiu and Liu Yang would get married. Liu Xiu was his lord, and Liu Yang and he were old friends. He didn't want the two of them to go to the stage of fighting each other.
Secondly, Liu Yang has more than 100,000 Zhending troops under his command. Once Liu Yang surrenders, his own troops can suddenly increase by more than 100,000. What a boost this will have to the improvement of his own strength!
On the other hand, if Liu Yang was forced to side with Wang Lang, join forces with Wang Lang wholeheartedly, and become his own enemy, even though his side now has the support of three counties, he is still far from being his opponent.
Whether public or private, he hopes to promote this matter.
After listening to his words, Liu Xiu lowered his head and remained silent. Deng Yu and others present looked at each other and did not speak immediately.
The matter of getting married seems to be quite simple, as long as Liu Xiu nods. But the problem is, there is Yin Lihua stuck in the middle.
When you get married to the daughter of the True King, you can't let her be your concubine, right? But if you let her be the official wife, where will Yin Lihua go? Let Yin Lihua be your concubine?
When Liu Xiu was at the lowest point in his life, Yin Lihua married Liu Xiu, creating a great story. If Yin Lihua was demoted from his wife to a concubine in order to gain the support of King Zhending, it would be both unpleasant and unpleasant to hear about it.
It will also greatly damage Liu Xiu's reputation.
"I don't agree!" No one spoke, Zhu Xian exploded. He turned to Liu Xiu and said: "My lord, Zhong Xian only recognizes one wife, and that is Mrs. Lihua. My lord, please think twice about this matter!"
I am afraid that only Zhu dared to say this in front of Liu Xiu. Even Deng Yu would not have dared to say this.
Geng Chun cleared his throat and said: "Whoever belongs to King Zhending and the more than 100,000 Zhending troops under King Zhending is very important to us and to the king. I hope that my lord can take the overall situation into account."
It’s important!”
Obviously, Geng Chun's attitude is the same as Liu Zhi's, and they both support the marriage of Liu Xiu and Liu Yang's daughter.xdw8
Wu Han didn't know Yin Lihua, nor Liu Yang, nor Liu Yang's daughter. He raised his chin and said proudly: "What's so scary about the small Zhending Kingdom? In the worst case, we will destroy his Zhending Kingdom first.
I, Wu Han, will take Liu Yang’s head!”
Kou Xun sighed, waved his hand to Wu Han, and said with a wry smile: "Zi Yan, be careful! Zhen Ding has an army of more than 100,000 people, and how can he raise this army of more than 100,000 people in such a small area to have strong soldiers and horses? Let all roads in Hebei
The army of thieves dare not invade Qiu Hao, so how can King Zhen Ding be a prince, comparable to Yan Feng and his like?"
The implication is, you should take a rest as soon as possible, and don't shout and kill at every turn. With our current strength, we really can't touch Zhen Dingguo.
Speaking of which, Kou Xun had a close personal relationship with Wu Han. The two of them had a very good relationship before, but now that they were both under Liu Xiu's command, their relationship had naturally improved.
Wu Han curled his lips, but didn't say anything more. Deng Yu shook his head and sighed, and said meaningfully: "If the Zhen Ding Army can be used by us, we can put down Wang Lang's rebellion within a few months. Zhen Ding Army
If the Ding army is used by Wang Lang, we... will either retreat to Youzhou, or retreat to Luoyang or Chang'an."
Liu Xiu, who had been silent all this time, murmured: "Zhonghua also thinks that I should marry the daughter of King Zhending?!"
Deng Yu lowered his head and whispered: "As a subordinate, you should not interfere with the lord's family affairs. But if the lord wants to achieve great things, then the lord's family affairs are official affairs. I, the subordinates, can only propose what is most beneficial to the lord."
opinions.”
Officials should be regarded as Jinwu, and wives should be regarded as Yin Lihua. The love story between Liu Xiu and Yin Lihua has long been circulated as a good story, and few people in the world don't know it. Because of this, it is difficult for everyone to talk about it now.
Liu Zhi coughed dryly and said, "I have also considered the matter between my lord and Mrs. Lihua. I believe that Mrs. Lihua can still be my lord's just wife."
Everyone present looked at Liu Zhi in unison.
Yin Lihua is still the head wife? Does that mean that the daughter of King Zhending is made a concubine for the lord? If King Zhending heard about this, he would be furious on the spot.
If that's the case, it's better not to agree to it. At least you won't embarrass them, and you won't turn against them.
Before others could raise objections, Liu Zhi continued: "The daughter of King Zhending can also be his wife!"
"What?" Everyone present stared at Liu Zhi inexplicably.
In fact, many people now misunderstand that men in ancient times can have three wives and four concubines. This statement is not accurate. In ancient times, men usually had only one wife, who was his head wife.
As for concubines, there can indeed be many, but their status is much lower than that of the head wife.
To give a very simple example, the children of concubines, that is, children of concubines, have no inheritance rights. Those who can inherit the family property must be the children of the first wife, that is, children of legitimate children.
Children born from concubines cannot call the concubine who gave birth to them mother, but must call them aunt. They can only call their official wives mother or mother-in-law.
Liu Zhi looked around at the people present and said word by word: "Of course my lord cannot let the daughter of King Zhending be his concubine, but he can follow the ancients and let her be his wife and equal his wife!"
The flat wife is indeed an ancient system. It once appeared in the Spring and Autumn Period, but it has become increasingly rare since then.
The occurrence of equal wives after the Spring and Autumn Period is a very special situation. Usually, a man has been away from home for many years and married another woman. The relationship between them is deep and they do not want her to be a concubine, so they can be regarded as equal wives.
The relationship and status between the principal wife and the common wife are equivalent to those between sisters-in-law, but different from the relationship of superiority and inferiority between wives and concubines.
At this time, Liu Zhi suddenly brought up the concept of equal wives, which made everyone present feel confused. Kou Xun slapped his hands fiercely and praised: "Your Majesty, my lord, I think your words are very good!"
