Liu Xin saw the phantom's secret report, and couldn't help laughing and said, "Liu Bang, this little guy probably hasn't started yet, why do you want to ask for a daughter-in-law." ”

Ma Yun said angrily: "This little cub is a little like the Liu family in terms of lust, but I don't know whose daughter Liu Bei fell in love with for him." However, I can't help but toss Liu Bei here, the matter of the canonization of the prince I told you last time, do you want to think about it again? ”

Liu Xin muttered: "Throughout the winter, the construction of Chang'an City has not stopped. According to the news that Xiang Lang has just sent back, in a maximum of 20 days, the construction of Chang'an City will be completed. These days, Tian Feng, Guo Jia, and Cheng Yu are all secretly colluding to persuade me to ascend the throne and become emperor on the day the capital is moved to Chang'an. ”

These words seemed to have nothing to do with Ma Yun's question, but Ma Yun had already understood what Liu Xin meant, nodded and asked, "Do you want to take this opportunity to settle the prince?" ”

Liu Xin shook his head and said, "No, I still say the same thing, it's too early to decide who will inherit the throne, although it depends on the performance of these children in the future." However, we can set a rule for determining the heir. ”

On the question of who is indeed the future heir, Liu Xin's view is different from Ma Yun's. Ma Yun naturally likes Liu Yu, after all, this is her son. But Liu Xin hopes to make a decision through future observation, anyway, no matter who he chooses in the end, it is his flesh and blood. However, the husband and wife have reached a consensus, that is, no matter what, this position will not fall on Liu Bang. It's not because Liu Bang is not their biological son, nor because Liu Bang's origin is unknown, but more importantly, because Liu Bang's ability is there, if the Han dynasty is handed over to Liu Bang, I'm afraid it will be a few years before the world will be in chaos.

Ma Yun thought about it, and agreed with Liu Xin's proposition, and said: "Okay, this rule is up to you, but you have to show me before announcing it." ”

Liu Xin heard that Ma Yun agreed very reluctantly, and couldn't help laughing: "Wife, it's not that you don't know how many catties and taels I have, and this rule is still up to you." Whatever you decide, I'll raise my hands in favor! ”

Ma Yun suddenly came to her senses, and blurted out: "This is what you said, don't regret it." ”

Liu Xin smiled: "I will never regret what I said!" ”

The two of them "snapped" a high-five, and this major event related to the future fate of the Han Dynasty was decided. Liu Xin said again: "Not only is this rule set by you, but I also plan to revise the law of the Han Dynasty, I'm afraid I will have to work hard for you." ”

Ma Yun said without thinking: "No problem, I am an expert in this area!" ”

Liu Xin looked at Ma Yun, whose belly was getting bigger and bigger, and said distressedly: "It's just that you are pregnant now, don't be too tired." ”

Ma Yun said disapprenously: "It's okay, I don't have to write it myself." I thought about it, so I dictated it, and then asked Akihime to write it down and organize it into a written language. ”

Liu Xin thought for a while and said, "That's fine." When your Han law is sorted out, the matter of moving the capital to Chang'an can be put on the agenda. ”

The two of them discussed the formulation of the law of the Han Dynasty here, and Liu Bei had already come to Sima Hui's house outside Xiangyang City.

Seeing Liu Bei, Sima Hui was very happy, and while giving him a warm welcome, he sent his servants to invite Pang Degong and Huang Chengyan.

Sima Hui, Pang Degong, and Huang Chengyan have always been good friends, don't look at them living in seclusion in the wilderness, but the news is not closed. There are many channels for their sources. One is that their disciples often travel around the world, and they can bring what they see and hear from all over the world in a timely manner. On the other hand, Liu Xin's Dahan Express, they are also a must-see in every issue, and even the advertisements in the middle seam are not missed. Another important channel is Huang Chengyan.

Huang Chengyan is related to Liu Xin and Cai Mao, and his daughter is still the only female student in Xiangyang Academy, these unique conditions also allow Huang Chengyan to get a lot of inside information. Huang Chengyan has been old friends with Sima Hui and Pang Degong for many years, so naturally he will not hide his secrets from them. However, Huang Chengyan was not stupid enough to say anything, at least he didn't tell anyone about the family affair between Huang Yueying and Liu Yu.

Everyone can keep their own secrets, which is understandable, because Sima Hui himself has an ulterior secret. As early as the time of the Yellow Turban**, Sima Hui saw that the world was about to be in chaos, and he very much hoped that the Sima family could take advantage of this chaos to steal the world, of course, this secret can only be buried in the bottom of his heart, and he can't tell it to others.

The reason why Sima Hui has such an idea against the sky is not only because he is far-sighted, but also because he found a genius in the Sima family, that is, Sima Yi, who is only sixteen years old.

Many people will think that Sima Hui is from Yuzhou, but Sima Yi is from Sili, and there should be no relationship between the two, but in fact, it is not. First of all, they are both surnamed Sima, and it is very likely that the two belong to the same family. Moreover, Sima Hui is a native of Yangzhai County, Yingchuan County, Yuzhou, and Sima Yi is from Wen County, Hanoi County, Sili, and the two places are actually only a stone's throw away. Sima Yi is actually Sima Hui's nephew, and no one knows this secret except for the Sima family.

Historically, Cao Cao's power was in full swing, and Liu Bei was defeated repeatedly, but Sima Hui recommended talents to Liu Bei many times, and Xu Shu, Zhuge Liang, and Pang Tong were more or less related to Sima Hui's recommendation. If it weren't for the help of Xu Shu, Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong and others, Cao Cao would have ruled the world a long time ago, and where would Liu Bei have anything to do.

If Sima Hui really thinks about the people of the world, he should support Cao Cao to unify the world, so as not to destroy the lives of the people, instead of helping Liu Bei. Because Sima Hui should have seen it a long time ago that it was impossible for Liu Bei to unify the world, which can be seen from Zhuge Liang's Longzhong pair. Fundamentally, Zhuge Liang's judgment will definitely divide the world into three parts in the future, but Zhuge Liang is a talent that Sima Hui is extremely optimistic about.

Therefore, Sima Hui's real purpose in helping Liu Bei was not to let Liu Bei unify the world, but to let Liu Bei come to stir up Cao Cao's good situation, and only by disturbing Cao Cao's good situation could their Sima family have hope.

Now, due to Liu Xin's birth, the most powerful force has changed from Cao Cao to Liu Xin. With Sima Hui's vision, he has long seen that Liu Xin has the strength to unify the world. Liu Xin not only has strength, but also acts extremely calmly and is not in a hurry.

With Liu Xin's current strength, even if he defeats the combined forces of Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, it is not impossible. But Liu Xin did not do this, but gradually eliminated the large and small enemies on the periphery, and even went to the Western Regions to rebuild the capital palace. The more Liu Xin takes such a step, the more Sima Hui has no chance to take advantage of.

But Sima Hui was not reconciled, he was still looking for an opportunity to disrupt the situation. Because for a family, it is not easy to encounter a talent like Sima Yi for hundreds of years, and it will also have to be in troubled times. Sima Hui knew very well that after this village, there would be no such shop, and he was unwilling to give up.

At this time, Liu Bei suddenly came to the door with Liu Bang and fell into the arms of Sima Hui. From Sima Hui's point of view, how can he not see that Liu Bang is a character who can't support the wall. But it is precisely such a role, if they are "supported" on the wall, their Sima family will have more opportunities. Therefore, Sima Huicai has always been at such a level, and even let Pang Tong and Zhuge Jin go to participate in the imperial examination.

In fact, Sima Hui is playing a big game of chess, Liu Bei, Liu Bang, Pang Tong, Zhuge Brothers and his other disciples, even including Huang Chengyan and Pang Degong, are all chess pieces on his chessboard, the purpose is just to let the world continue to maintain **, until the Sima family's thousand-mile horse gradually grows up and is strong enough to control the world. However, this game of chess is now becoming more and more difficult to play, and even the most important "chess piece" Liu Bei has been disheartened and has not come to him for half a year. Therefore, Liu Bei's sudden visit today made Sima Hui very happy.

waited until Pang Degong and Huang Chengyan arrived one after another, and Liu Bei explained his intention today. Through a political marriage, he could immediately bring reinforcements for Liu Bang, Sima Hui and Pang Degong applauded one after another, but Huang Chengyan "sighed" in his heart. On the surface, everyone present supports and helps Liu Bang to take the position, but in his bones, Huang Chengyan is on Liu Yu's side.

Sima Hui thought for a moment and said, "I heard that General Huang Zhonghuang, the commander of the Fifth Legion, has a daughter who is ten years old, which is similar to the age of Chang Lehou. General Huang has a heavy army, and if he can say that this family business can be said to be quite helpful for that matter. ”

Pang Degong waved his hand and said: "Liu Xin has six righteous brothers, four are the commander of the legion, and two are the commanders of the Flying Tiger Guard, among the generals, the status of these six people is above Huang Zhong. As far as I know, Xu Huang and Zhang Fei both have daughters of appropriate age, and if you want to say that they are close, it is more appropriate to use these two. ”

Liu Bei shook his head and sighed: "What the two gentlemen discussed, according to Liu's opinion, is difficult. ”

The generals respect the loyal and brave people, and when they were in Lujiang City, Liu Bang was so scared that he peed his pants several times, which was naturally despised by them, and after Liu Bang came to Xiangyang, the generals' attitude towards him can be seen.

Pang Degong said confidently: "What's so difficult about this? Chang Lehou is Liu Xin's eldest son, and proposing to them is to promote them. ”

Sima Hui suddenly thought of a question and said, "These are just what we are thinking, will Liu Xin listen to us and propose marriage for Liu Bang?" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone's mood suddenly fell, only Huang Chengyan was secretly happy. Liu Bang is not one of their disciples whose parents have died, so they can come forward to ask for marriage. Liu Bang's "parents" are both alive and well, and they are in high positions, no matter what they do, it is impossible for them to act on their behalf.

After being silent for a moment, Liu Bei suddenly said: "If the woman takes the initiative to bring it up, won't there be no problem?" ”

Sima Hui sneered: "Didn't you just say that they didn't treat Liu Bang very well?" How could they take the initiative to come to the door to propose? ”

Pang Degong laughed and said: "We don't have to hang ourselves on a tree, military generals can't, then choose from Wenchen." ”

Liu Bei also echoed: "Yes, yes, yes, then choose from Wenchen, and choose a family that can take the initiative to propose marriage." ”

There are a lot of school-age girls in Wenchen's family, but the key is the latter condition, they are not sure that they can persuade others to take the initiative to go to the state pastor to propose, and they can't test them one by one, otherwise the city will be full of wind and rain, which may cause Liu Xin's vigilance. The atmosphere at the scene was dreary again.

Sima Hui suddenly laughed and said, "Haha, I thought of someone!" ”
