Chapter 34: Planning for the Future

Liu Hong was even more unhappy when he saw Liu Tao's recital, so he discussed the matter with Zhang Rang and others.

"Your Majesty, the old slave thinks that this horn is a small people's ear, so don't pay attention to him. Liu Xin, the Taishou of the river, is a relative of the Han family, and is a descendant of Liu, the Marquis of the Nest, who is also in a great drought, and the county Taishou is not able to deal with it effectively, but Liu Xin will govern the river in an orderly manner, and it should be greatly praised. ”

Zhang Jiao has nothing to do with Zhang Rang, Zhang Rang naturally won't speak for him, Liu Xin has a lot of filial piety to Zhang Rang, and Zhang Rang also has a good impression of Liu Xin. And last time in Juchao, Zhang Rang accepted a generous gift from Liu Chong, and promised Liu Chong one thing, so he wanted to take this opportunity to help Liu Chong do it.

"I remember, Liu Xin raided a criminal official's house last year, and also sent me all the money and property he stolen, and he was really loyal, as if he was still my cousin." Liu Hong said thoughtfully.

Zhang Rang struck while the iron was hot and said: "The emperor is very right. The slave still has a thing to play, this nest Hou has no queen, Liu Xin has a young son Liu Bin, in order to show filial piety, and now he has passed with Liu Chong, and was adopted by Liu Chong as a grandson. The slave thought that His Majesty could decree that Liu Bin should be appointed as the prince of Juchao, and that Liu Xin should be given a reward as a sign of honor, and that His Majesty would be gracious. ”

Liu Hong listened to Zhang Rang's words, thought about it, how much less tax would it cost to seal a Hou out that year, this is not good, so he muttered: "This...... That being the case, he decreed that Liu Bin should be the prince of Juchao, as for Liu Xin...... Don't be a marquis, isn't there no praise for this horn? That's it, anyway, Liu Bang is also his son, and now it's a special case to let him be the son of the world. Go and draw up the decree. ”

Emperor Chrysostom said that this was equivalent to a holy decree, and Zhang Rang didn't dare to say anything, so he passed the decree to Liu Chong and Liu Xin respectively, and told the ministers to know. Liu Chong was naturally overjoyed when he received the holy decree, but Liu Xin was dumbfounded.

To tell the truth, Liu Xin has long forgotten that he still has such a "son" as Liu Bin, and only Liu Chong and Zhang Rang know about it, in fact, this Liu Bin is Liu Chong's own grandson, so Liu Chong's daughter and son-in-law also know. Some people think that Liu Xin helped this uncle renew the incense, and his filial piety is commendable, and some people think that the emperor is too tolerant of his family, and Liu Xin should succeed him as the marquis of the nest.

Ma Yun coaxed her son and said angrily: "This Liu Chong is really a villain. I knew that all the taxes of a county belonged to the Hou Ye, who would want to come to the river to be a guard. He was fine, and he finally got his wish, but we didn't get any reward. ”

Liu Xin stretched out a finger, teased his son's little hand, and said: "Forget it, I really hope that the people of Hejian will have a good life, whether he rewards him or not, I don't care about it yet, as long as you and the child are safe." ”

Seeing her son's little hand holding Liu Xin's fingers tightly and smiling at Liu Xin, Ma Yun couldn't help but say with jealousy: "In the end, it's with Lao Tzu." I worked hard to give birth to him, and I fed him every day, and I didn't see him smile so much. ”

Liu Xin laughed and said: "How can there be two fathers and mothers who are jealous of their sons." It's been more than two months since my son was born, and you won't let me take this name, so I can't keep delaying it. ”

Ma Yun glanced at him and said, "I have already thought of the name, and I want to discuss it with you, but you have not been able to meet you." ”

It turned out that Liu Xin was really busy during this time, and he didn't even come back from his son's full moon. This year's summer harvest is reduced, the autumn harvest is hopeless, and the people in all counties are waiting for help. Although displaced people from surrounding counties have returned to their hometowns one after another, the places where they once lived must be handled carefully to prevent epidemics. However, some time ago, Tian Feng and Fu Zhu were tired one after another, and Liu Xin had to go into battle in person, until recently, the two of them fully recovered, and there were fewer things in various places than a while ago, and Liu Xin gradually became idle.

Ma Yun continued: "My son must be knowledgeable and educated, and he must be upright, so he is called Liu Wenzheng. ”

Liu Xin said unhappily: "Do you think I'm a thief, I haven't graduated from elementary school." And people name their children with one word, and you make two words. ”

Ma Yun blushed and said, "You, what a heart, even if you are a thief, I am not married to you." I'm getting a word for my child, and I haven't thought of a name yet. ”

Liu Xin was also embarrassed for his own cautious eyes: "How can anyone pick up words at the age of one." In fact, when we came to this world, your original idea was just to let me rely on my own labor to support my family, and our children only need to have enough food and clothing, so why don't you call Liu Yu? ”

Ma Yun nodded and said: "Liu Yu, Liu Yu, it's not bad, then it's good to be called Liu Yu, but the word Wenzheng has to depend on me." ”

In fact, Liu Xin and Ma Yun came together by accident and inevitable. Ma Yun has had a crush on Liu Xin for many years, and she is a relatively strong girl, and she suddenly came to this era of male superiority and inferiority, let her marry another man and be a little woman, she may never be able to adapt to such a life. For Liu Xin, of course, the choice is much greater, but there is really no second one who can have a common language with him, except for Ma Yun. It's just that neither of them expected this child to come so quickly, and they thought that they wouldn't be able to give birth to a child for several years.

Liu Xin looked at her sleeping son and said to Ma Yun that she had been worried about her pregnancy, because in this era of extremely backward medical conditions, giving birth to a child is indeed a very dangerous thing, especially for modern people who are used to accompanying the caesarean section, and it is also the time to give birth to the first child. When she knew that Liu Xin had pretended to be excited in front of her before, Ma Yun's tears couldn't stop flowing, worry and love are always twins, because of worry, love is more reflected, from this moment on, she really felt Liu Xin's strong love.

The two hugged each other very naturally, and finally met each other, in addition to discussing the name of their son, they naturally had to make love, and there was a heart-warming moan in the room......

Julu's Zhang Jiao was very annoyed in his heart, and he summoned Zhang Bao, Zhang Liang and several cronies to discuss.

"Big brother, this emperor is really mediocre. That Liu Xin helped the victims of the disaster in a county, what he should do, his son was made a marquis, and the eldest brother saved the people of Sizhou, but he was not praised at all, there is really no heavenly reason! Zhang Bao was grumpy and the first to jump out.

"What is this Liu Xin, he has been against the eldest brother many times, and this time he dared to steal the limelight from the eldest brother, let's start immediately, and start with him first!" Zhang Liang is also not angry.

"Please also be at ease. Ma once heard that Liu Xin and Zhang Rang had a very close relationship, and the dog emperor favored the eunuchs, so Zhang Rang must have spoken for him in front of the emperor. Now the guru wants to plot great things, and he should also make friends with the eunuchs as an internal response. The person who spoke was also a close confidant of Zhang Jiao, surnamed Ma Yuanyi, and was a generous Qu Shuai.

"What Yuan Yi said is reasonable. You managed to send someone to transport some gold and silk, and went to Beijing to bribe the regular servants of Zhuzhong to support you. If the thing is successful, you will be credited with the first credit. Zhang Jiao thought for a moment and decided to let Ma Yuanyi enter Beijing to communicate with the eunuchs.

If Liu Xin heard Zhang Jiao's discussion, he must have been wronged, he and Zhang Rang had only met once, how could they have a good relationship? What's wrong with giving something during the New Year's holidays, and how many local officials don't give gifts to Zhang Rang?

Of course, Liu Xin didn't know that both the court officials and the Taiping Daoists had classified themselves into the eunuch party, and he was busy preparing for the banquet held by his son Liu Yubai on this day. There is no celebration during the full moon, so it is natural that this day will be very lively. Not only Tian Feng, Fu Zhi and his six brothers, but also Zhang Jun, Wang Lei, and Chen Jin, the officials of Hejian and the county commanders of the subordinate counties, as well as the scholars of the whole county, were all invited.

The people who were invited naturally felt that there was light on their faces, and they sent generous gifts to Liu Xin one after another. There are many people who have not been invited, and who feel that they have a certain identity and status, and after learning the news, they began to trust their relationships, walked, and tried their best to squeeze into the ranks of gift-giving.

Zhang Jiao also has a lot of eyeliner in the river, and Liu Xin is setting up a banquet this time, so naturally he can't escape their eyes. So, Zhang Jiao also asked people to send gifts. Zhang Jiao's relationship with Liu Xin is now more delicate, of course Liu Xin knows Zhang Jiao's details, and Zhang Jiao has also understood this, he needs to maintain the current state with Liu Xin to ensure that he will not spoil his own big things.

Seeing the gift sent by Zhang Jiao, Liu Xin couldn't sit still, now that Ma Yun has given birth to a child, she doesn't have to worry about affecting her emotions, she can discuss this matter with her: "Wife, it's October now, and there will be a Yellow Turban Uprising in February next year." Zhang Jiao is now sending someone to send gifts, what is his idea? ”

Ma Yun thought for a while and said, "He must be trying to stabilize you." Alas, with the war, I don't know how many people will be killed, and how many people will have their families ruined, I just hope that my son and I can survive this catastrophe safely. ”

Liu Xin couldn't help laughing: "What's there to worry about." My six brothers, which one is not the three armies of the brave champion, now the city defense between the river has also been renovated, you and I can not predict the prophet, no matter how powerful he is to open his horns, the Yellow Turban Army will not want to please him in the river. ”

Ma Yun pushed him and said, "I'm not just worried about our mother and son. When the war is raging, it is not the common people who suffer, you always think of yourself as caring for the common people, why don't you think of a way to prevent the Yellow Turban Uprising? I remember that there didn't seem to be any major disasters in the next few years, and if there was no Yellow Turban Uprising, the people would still be able to live a peaceful life for a few years. ”

Liu Xin couldn't help laughing and said, "Do you think we can change history?" ”

Ma Yun glanced at him: "Didn't you change history?" Without you, Li Cheng's uncle and nephew must still be alive and well, and Liu Chong's seal may be taken back soon. Have you planned for the future? ”
