Chapter 807: Food and grass exchange for princess plan
(Getting in the car was already extremely civilized, simply amazing!)
(Please ignore the issue of marriage with the same surname)
With Wang Xuan stepping in to top the vat, everyone could speak freely. From the young widow Cai Yan, to Hongnong Yang's legitimate daughter, to Lu Bu's daughter, a total of more than a dozen candidates were chosen.
Either she is the daughter of a great Confucian, she comes from a great power, or she is the legitimate daughter of a great family. Anyway, it sounds quite appropriate.
However, these are not the most suitable candidates in Wang Xuan's mind.
Seeing that the Han Dynasty was getting worse day by day, even if Liu Bei finally established the Han Dynasty again, it would actually have nothing to do with the current Eastern Han Dynasty.
Just like the actual situation of the Eastern Han Dynasty has little to do with the Western Han Dynasty, Liu Xiu's seventh generation ancestor was Emperor Jing Liu Qi, and Liu Qu, the last serious emperor of the Western Han Dynasty, was already in the fifth server.
And Liu Bei and Liu Xie...the so-called King Jing of Zhongshan was also the son of Liu Qi. They were the same ancestors as Liu Xiu for twenty generations, and other than that, they were both surnamed Liu. Well, four hundred years ago
It's a family.
"Ta Ta." Wang Xuan lightly knocked on the walnut table. Everyone immediately fell silent when they saw that Wang Xuan had something to say, "I prefer Princess Wannian."
After Wang Xuan finished speaking, the meeting hall immediately buzzed, and everyone immediately started discussing.
"Princess Wannian is very good. In this way, it will be more legitimate for the lord to inherit the Han Dynasty." Someone agreed.
"Wouldn't it be a little bad if they all have the last name Liu?" someone retorted.
This is also the reason why everyone originally thought of Princess Wannian.
"How far apart is this?"
There was a lot of discussion, and in the end most people agreed with the proposal.
But the fact that one of them is more justified in inheriting the Han Dynasty is enough reason. What's more, there is no need to worry about the so-called relatives, who are equal to the royal family.
Only the fact that the surname Liu is Liu is a bit risqué, but it doesn’t make up for the flaws!
After deciding on the candidate, the rest is Wang Xuan's problem, of course it is up to him to convince Liu Bei.
"What makes me marry Princess Wannian?" Liu Bei jumped up from his seat in shock, "This... this!"
It was so sudden, Liu Bei never thought about it that way.
"What's the problem? Princess Wannian is only sixteen years old, and she is the daughter of the Ling Emperor. Does Xuande still feel that she is not worthy of you?" Wang Xuan raised his eyebrows, feeling that Liu Bei was distracted.
"What are you talking about?" Liu Bei smiled bitterly, "I just think I'm not worthy of him."
"How could it happen? Duke Xuande is now a Qingzhou shepherd, and his future achievements are limitless. Apart from the big age gap, he is no longer worthy of Princess Wannian."
"Besides, Princess Wannian will not end up well if she marries anyone other than Duke Xuande. What's more, in order to legitimately inherit the Han Dynasty's inheritance, Duke Xuande must also marry Princess Wannian!"
Wang Xuan analyzed it and found that Liu Bei had to take Ten Thousand Years, otherwise, how could he achieve some of his goals.
Liu Bei was told that he could only nod his head in approval, but he didn't criticize her. He already knew in his heart that he had no control over his wife's matter.
After everything is settled here, it’s time to go to Chang’an to propose marriage. No one is worried about this. Liu Ye, a clan member of the Han Dynasty, is the best candidate to propose marriage. If you bring the letter written by Li Ru to Li Jue and the others, everything will be perfect.
.
As for Emperor Xian Liu Xie, he didn't even dare to protect Wang Yun, so he didn't have the guts to raise objections on this matter.
It only takes ten days to take a boat along the river to the west, then transfer from Tongguan to the Weishui River to reach Chang'an. The current river is not the Yellow River in the future, and the waterway transportation is very developed.
Liu Ye first formally visited Emperor Xian, paid a tribute, and completed the process. Liu Xie was quite happy. After all, Liu Bei's surname was Liu, so he must have supported him. It's just whether he was happy or not, no one cared.
.
After the next court, Liu Ye visited Li Jue with Li Ru's letter. Sure enough, after reading Li Ru's letter, Li Jue entertained Liu Ye well.
Regarding the issue of marrying Princess Wannian mentioned in the letter, Li Jue and Guo Si directly agreed. In the final analysis, the reason was because of Li Ru's face. After all, it was just a woman, and neither of them cared.
At the banquet for Liu Ye, Li Jue tactfully raised some questions, hoping that Liu Ye would help solve them or bring a message to Li Ru.
"Guanzhong has been in constant war over the years and the land has been depleted. I hope to purchase a batch of grain and grass from Guandong."
Speaking of the war, Li Jue and Guo Si couldn't help but blush. The war in Guanzhong over the years was basically related to them, but recently, they really didn't want to fight. For no other reason than lack of food!
These two guys are not the materials to govern the place at all. They have no way to deal with the decline of Guanzhong. But, damn Ma Teng and Han Sui came to attack together. The slogan was to save the emperor. Really?
baffling.
To rescue the emperor, two of them are worthy of being rebels!?
Yes, the two guys have always been rebels. Back then, Beigong Boyu, a Qiang man, rebelled and captured Han Sui as a hostage. Later, he forced Han Sui to join the gang and became the boss. After that, he got out of hand and led ten people at the peak.
Thousands of Qiang soldiers invaded Chang'an, shocking the world.
Among them, in the fourth year of Zhongping, Liangzhou Army Sima Ma Teng joined the rebels, and together with Han Sui elected the commander-in-chief of the kingdom, and robbed the three assistants, which was known in history as the "three assistants rebellion".
Before Dong Zhuo's death, he invited two people to come to Chang'an to deal with the Guandong gentry together. When the two arrived, Dong Zhuo was already cold. Li Jue couldn't bear to let the two go to Chang'an in vain, so he worshiped Han Sui as General Zhenxi.
Afterwards, he was allowed to return to Jincheng, and Ma Teng was appointed General of the Western Expedition, and he stationed troops in Yi County.
This year, Ma Teng sent people to Li Jue some time ago to ask for some food and grass. However, there was a severe drought this year. Li Jue and Guo Si didn't have enough, so how could they supply Ma Teng? So something bad happened. As a result, Ma Teng somehow
He joined forces with Han Sui and began to march towards Chang'an.
Speaking of which, there really was a drought this year. Although it was not particularly serious, the grain production in the entire north was reduced by nearly half. Fortunately, the entire Qingzhou water conservancy project has completed two phases. It survived safely this time, but it was already
The withered Sanfu Land of Chang'an was in dire straits. Li Jue and Guo Si had begun to let their soldiers go around plundering people and aristocratic families.
There is no way, people always have to eat just right!
Liu Ye estimated that Ma Teng and Han Sui also faced the same problem, so they could join forces to attack Chang'an so simply.
The way to eliminate internal conflicts is not only to "Oli give", but also to transfer conflicts, either to grab enough food, or to let the excess population die in Chang'an. In any case, you can get through the difficulties in the end.
It can’t solve the food problem, but it can solve the problem of people who eat food~!
For a while, Liu Ye didn't know how to solve this problem, so he could only stay vague for now.
After all, the purpose of this time is to propose marriage, or to get Princess Wanning back. This is definitely not in line with etiquette. After all, she is a princess. The case says that Liu Bei should come to marry her, but... it can only be said that the princess was born at the wrong time.
.
Fortunately, Liu Bei was a military commander, and despite his age, he was in good health...
