Royal Road - Chapter 301

[Chapter 300 | City]

Before January, the weather was still cold.

There is a brazier burning in the palace, not the most fashionable charcoal, but ordinary charcoal.

No matter how good the charcoal cage is, there is still a hint of firework in the room.

Liu Yuan leaned on the desk and sipped a cup of warm wine.

After recovering from his illness, his habit of drinking two pots a day returned.

However, what is in the cup now is not the clear-like Shangdang Yuluchun, but the burning spring mixed with a little thick wine.

Those residues floated in the cup, like a thin layer of flocculent floating.

The taste of this wine is naturally not as good as that of Yulu wine.

But there are still some spicy, and after a while, I am afraid that this kind of wine will not be able to drink it, right?

With a snort, another glass of wine entered his throat.

He put down the wine cup, and said to the man sitting beside him, “Do you think that we should not allow relatives to join the state?”

Liu He nodded: “My son thinks that the surnamed Liang will not answer. Spreading it out, I’m afraid… it will be detrimental to the emperor.” Although the words “self-inflicted insults”

were not spoken, their meaning was clear.

Now Liang Feng has become a general and governor, commanding the three states, and proclaiming himself a prince.

According to the custom of the Jin people, it is absolutely impossible to marry a Hun woman with a low status as a wife.

Then they went to ask for a kiss with great fanfare, and they turned away and were turned away, wouldn’t they lose face?

“He won’t answer.” Liu Yuan snorted, “But this marriage is not something he should answer.”

Liu He

blinked: “Is the father and the emperor want to use the time?”

Rumors that the Han State and the Governor of Bingzhou intend to marry.

Thousands of miles away, the little emperor of Jin was afraid that he would be furious, and he would no longer believe in Bingzhou.

In this way, it can be regarded as alienating this pair of monarchs and ministers.

However, Liu Yuan still shook his head: “Sima Xiaoer didn’t trust Liang Feng, otherwise he would not have been named Shangdang County Duke. However, this move can find out how much the Jin court is afraid of Bingzhou.”

This is obviously his father’s exam. Liu He thought about it for a moment before saying, “If Sima Xiaoer believes in Liang Feng, he should turn a deaf ear and don’t take this matter to heart. If he doesn’t believe it…”

Cut Jue?

Dismissal?

Decentralization?

Liu Hesi thought about it, and didn’t know what the little emperor was going to do.

After all, Emperor Tiangao is far away. He is a young emperor with little military power. How can he punish a prince like Liang Feng?

Liu Yuan had no intention of embarrassing his son, and said directly: “If he doesn’t believe it, he will allow Sima’s daughter to enter Bingzhou.”

Ah!

Liu He suddenly realized.

Yes!

It was obvious that the marriage would be rejected. If the little emperor still had doubts, he would definitely propose the marriage in person and continue the relationship for Liang Feng.

This is the usual method of Sima’s line to win over important ministers. Although the little emperor has no daughters, there are always sisters.

To be the wife of the Liang family with the daughter of the sect is really a high look at the other party.

But is this Sima girl so easy to marry?

Once married and had children, Liang Feng’s heir would have problems first.

And will the women of Sima’s lineage make waves in the Liang Mansion, secretly report to the court, and become the little emperor in the Liang Mansion’s eye line?

No one can guarantee!

As long as Liang Feng has the slightest disobedience, he should think about rejecting the marriage.

And if he really rejected the marriage of the Tian family, would he still be reliable?

At that time, Emperor Jin was afraid that he would be afraid to the bone, and he would never take care of the affairs of Bingzhou again.

Of course, there is another possibility.

It was Liang Feng who temporarily married the Sima clan, so that the girl would not be allowed to have children. When the time was right, she would be given death.

Therefore, whether it is to marry or not to marry, as long as the little emperor raises this matter, the relationship between the two parties will immediately become tense or even broken.

This is the key to destroying the trust between the ruler and the ministers!

It looks like a trick, but in fact it kills every step of the way.

Liu He couldn’t help sighing, Jiang was still old and hot.

Compared to his father’s wrist, what he thought was too shallow.

Seeing his son suddenly realized, Liu Yuan also nodded.

His eldest son is only young and not stupid. These political methods must be learned sooner or later.

After taking a sigh of relief, Liu Yuan continued: “No matter how the Jin country will respond, the rejection of marriage may not be unprofitable to me, the emperor. In the past two years, those extravagant things in the party have been banned repeatedly, and the DPRK and China are useless. Means. After Bingzhou refuses to marry, and then issue a strict order, it will be a matter of course.”

Not to mention the white porcelain, colored glass, paper and other items of Shangdang, just like wine, you can exchange for an unknown amount of salt.

Liu Yuan could see clearly that after those Xiongnu nobles occupied the territory of the Jin people, they were eager to learn the appearance of the Jin people, and they were extravagant.

However, what kind of salt, grain, fur, and even livestock are not related to the lifeline of the country?

He set an example by himself. He didn’t use porcelain or brocade, and he still couldn’t curb the extravagance of his clansmen. This time, he could take advantage of “rejecting relatives and being humiliated” to ruthlessly ban this crooked trend.

It’s a pity that even he himself can’t drink Yuluchun from Shangdang.

However, there are always substitutes for drinks. How to successfully weaken the strength of Bingzhou and stabilize the political situation before moving the capital is the fundamental.

I’m afraid I won’t be able to live in Pingyang for a long time.

As if the regret in his heart caused his illness, Liu Yuan coughed lightly.

Liu He hurriedly got up, beat his back, and took a silver tin jug aside and poured a glass of warm wine.

This jug was the Zhengdan congratulations presented by my cousin Huyanyou before, and it was also the only utensil that my father received.

As the king of a country, he still does not use porcelain and jade, but prefers pottery and silver. For the sake of the Han Dynasty, his father also worked hard and tried his best.

How could he not feel the same way?

“Father’s painstaking efforts, the clan will know. The great cause is uncertain, how can we forget the fundamentals? The bow and horse are the foundation of my emperor.”

Liu Yuan’s heart was relieved by his son’s demeanor.

Raising the cup, he drank it with his head held high.

The warm wine seemed to soothe the stagnation in his chest.

Bingzhou is difficult to deal with, but Liang Zixi is not without weaknesses.

After a while, until the summer harvest, it will be the time to launch a large-scale army.

How about being compassionate, without thousands of dead bones, how can the country be in control?

The kindness of his women will eventually bring disaster to Bingzhou.

Eyes fell on the silver pot aside, the goddess smiled, like a wisdom pearl in her hand.

There was a sneer on Liu Yuan’s lips.

The most important thing is the overall situation.

Only when Bingzhou was too busy to take care of himself would he have a chance.

※

Renri’s official banquet is extremely grand, no less than Yuanhui.

The states and counties are gradually entering into formality, which can be regarded as a promising prospect.

However, after the banquet, trouble came to the door.

They faced off against the Xiongnu for several years.

Even Liu Yuan’s biological son lost one.

It should have been endless, but who would have expected the Huns to send envoys to visit them just for marriage!

Anyone who listens will be stunned for a moment.

And the document handed by the envoy was really tempting.

In addition to his biological daughter who was still in the boudoir, Liu Yuan also promised to make him a king with a different surname, to hold the four states of Ping, Ji, Yan, and You, to promote the prefect, and to add a servant to the middle and so on.

It can be said that as long as Liang Feng nods his head, half of the northern land will be under control immediately.

Such generosity is far beyond what the little emperor of Jin is willing to give.

Liu Yuan didn’t want to cover up at all, and came forward with great fanfare, looking forward to repairing with Bingzhou and persuading him to change his posture.

Regarding these attractive conditions, Liang Feng only gave one sentence: “Bingzhou is under the rule of the imperial court, and the Xiongnu thieves should not be used as a plot.” The

envoys cannot be killed.

However, the Governor’s Mansion couldn’t let it go so easily.

This time, it is really sinister.

“The emperor just moved the capital, and Liu Yuan acted like this. I’m afraid it is to alienate the relationship between the lord and the court.” Duan Qin frowned and expressed his doubts.

“The matter of refusing marriage can be heard in the ears of the emperor in a blink of an eye. Such a strategy is too rude.” Liang Feng really couldn’t guess, Liu Yuan’s purpose for doing this.

This pseudo-Han emperor is not a shallow-minded person.

After fighting with Bingzhou for so many years, he should also understand his temperament.

How could it be possible to rush out to get humiliated?

Zhang Bin snorted coldly: “This move of the pseudo-han is indeed alienation, but it is not the answer of the lord, but the mind of the emperor. If the emperor is suspicious, I am afraid that he will give the lord a marriage and marry the daughter of the Sima clan into Bingzhou!”

This time, everyone suddenly realized!

What Zhang Bin said was not bad at all. If the emperor really had doubts about Bingzhou, he would bear the brunt of it, and then he would show his favor and win over, and then control the marriage.

The Son of Heaven bestows marriage, but it is a hassle.

Once agreed, it will have a great impact on Bingzhou and even Liangfu.

If he did not agree, the poisonous thorn was completely pierced into the heart of the little emperor. If Bingzhou went to war with the Huns in the future, I am afraid that even a reinforcement could not be found.

What’s more serious is that if he refuses to marry, he is afraid that it will attract those scholars who are interested in the court and doubt Liang Feng’s loyalty.

Now is not the time to be self-reliant, once there is chaos in the state, things will be troublesome!

Duan Qin responded very quickly: “The lord should be engaged first!”

It would take at least a few days for the news to spread from Luoyang to Shouchun, and then return to Luoyang from Shouchun.

If you can take this opportunity to choose a noble girl from the Bingzhou nobility, and hire him to ask for relatives, the predicament will be solved.

In this way, even if the little emperor wanted to marry the lord, it would be impossible.

Although the daughter of the Sima clan has a noble status, the marriage contract of the nobility cannot be trampled, not to mention that the lord is a prince, and no one dares to pick on it.

The marriage is also very helpful for the unity within Bingzhou.

If possible, it would be more beneficial to marry a few more.

It can be said that one simple move can destroy all conspiracies.

“It’s a pity that Wang Zhongzheng passed away, otherwise it would not be too bad to marry a Wang daughter.” Zhang Bin regretted.

At the end of last year, Wang Wenke died in Yanzhou.

After a year of serious illness, this news is not really surprising.

However, after Wang Wen’s death, Liang Feng’s good relationship with the Taiyuan Wang family was also broken.

If you want to get married again, I am afraid that no one will be able to hold back.

“The Sun family, the Gao family, and the Pei family can also be candidates. Or you can choose one from the lower-ranked gentry. With the status of the lord now, you don’t have to worry about not being able to marry a noble girl.” Duan Qin is not very optimistic about the Taiyuan Wang family now. , after all, the matter of Wang Jun’s annihilation is still choked there.

The less trouble, the better.

“The rank is the second. If you choose a master, you should put your appearance first.” Zhang Bin said more bluntly.

If you marry a wife, you should marry a virtuous one. If you marry someone like Lu Zhi, you might as well not marry him.

Now Liang Rong, the eldest son of the firstborn, is the worthy heir of the lord, and he must not have troubles because of the character of his stepmother.

The two of you, your words, and my words, are pure words of loyalty.

However, Liang Feng never answered. After a long while, he said, “It’s a big deal, let me think about it carefully.”

Duan Qin groaned in his heart, only to feel that something was wrong.

This is not the first time the lord has rejected marriage.

However, today is different than usual. If the little emperor really wants to marry first, then the trouble will be big.

Indecisiveness leads to disaster.

The lord has never made such a mistake!

It seems that it is time to find that person and persuade the lord.

Duan Qin secretly clenched his fists, and pressed that worry to the bottom of his heart.
