Volume 5 Chapter 421 Liu Bei's Choice
Malun is in a bad mood recently. Yuan Shao was dragged by the Yellow Turban in Jizhou. Yuan Wei was so embarrassed by the emperor in the court that he was so angry that he had no place to speak. When he came back, he complained to Malun. Malun also knew that Yuan Wei was under great pressure. Unconsciously, the Yuan family had already fought against the emperor. Yuan Wei, as a representative figure of the Yuan family, was directly under all the pressure, but he tied his head to the belt to compete with the emperor. However, whether it was Yuan Shao or Yuan Shu, they were all Yuan Feng's sons.
Why is he doing? If it is for his own son, then there is another person who says, for someone else's son - even if this person is his brother, he will find it a little strange. In this case, it should be Yuan Feng who charges in the battle. Why is it him, but Yuan Feng hides in the mansion and doesn't stand up?
It is good for those who are capable to work hard, but it depends on whether the work is natural.
Mall felt very guilty about this. It was her biggest regret that she could not give birth to a son for Yuan Wei. In the face of Yuan Wei's venting, she could only endure it. However, she was tough by nature and was not someone who could tolerate it. It was okay once or twice, but after a long time, she couldn't stand it. She couldn't get angry with Yuan Wei, so she had to take the person and vent her anger, and then sulk.
On this day, when she got angry and threw a precious white porcelain wine glass, someone came to report that Liu Bei was here.
Liu Bei and Malun were stunned, and their raised eyebrows did not fall for a long time. Liu Bei was Lu Zhi's disciple. He had come with Lu Zhi several times, but he had never visited alone. Although his relationship with Yuan Shu seemed to be good, he and Liu Xiu were better. Liu Xiu treated him like a brother, while Liu Xiu was the thorn in the Yuan family.
"What is he here to do?" Mullen murmured to himself.
"It is said that he is coming to celebrate the New Year on behalf of Mr. Lu."
After hearing this, Mallen was not too lazy and asked someone to invite Liu Bei in. Liu Bei respectfully bowed and presented a gift. He congratulated Mallen on behalf of Lu Zhi, and then congratulated Mallen on the New Year's Day with his son and nephew. Mallen saw Liu Bei's talent. He was respectful and polite, but he liked it a little. He naturally asked: "Didn't you accompany your husband to Youzhou? When did you go back to Luoyang?"
Liu Bei bowed and said politely: "I just came back yesterday. When I paid New Year's greetings to my husband in the second year of the lunar calendar, my husband told us that Ma Fufeng had opened a tent to teach his disciples. He was a generation of Confucian scholars, so he remembered his wife. I happened to have something to go to Luoyang, so I recommended myself and Mr. Dai came to congratulate her on the New Year."
What a person Malun is. He suddenly heard what Liu Bei said. Last year, Guo Tu rushed to Zhuo County to inquire about Liu Xiu's parents. She had asked Liu Bei, and she knew it. When she heard it, she immediately became alert. While signaling the servant to bring the wine, she asked quietly: "Your husband and Zheng Jun from Beihai are both proud disciples of the ancestors. With you, a high disciple like General Wei and General Zuo. He can now be regarded as a generation of Confucian scholars."
Liu Bei smiled modestly: "If General Wei and General Zuo are indeed worthy of their duty, I am ashamed of my teacher's teachings, it would be better not to mention it."
Malen shook his head: "The saint said, "To establish virtue and meritoriousness, General Wei and General Zuo have made meritorious contributions, but you have surpassed them too much in your knowledge, so why are you ashamed of? Besides, you can also find a chance to make meritorious contributions. If you give you a chance, you can't surpass them."
Liu Bei smiled and said, "Thank you for your teachings, and I'm grateful for it."
Mallen encouraged a few more words. Then he pretended to be casual: "My great man established his country with filial piety. You haven't been back for a long time. You must have missed him very much. It's so easy to go home and stay at home for a while. If you don't stay at home, what kind of urgent matters should you come back? Moreover, you only took ten days to get there. You have suffered a lot along the way."
Liu Bei hurriedly said, "It's nothing to do with hard work. It's really too urgent and it can't be delayed." He thought for a while and said, "Madam must have known about Guo Tu's trip to Zhuo County last year."
Malen said with a slight tip: "I know a little bit." She waved her hand, but she didn't rush to ask Liu Bei what was going on. She just waited for the servant to bring the wine, and then persuaded diligently: "This is the wine given by the emperor during the New Year's Day celebration. Please try it."
Liu Bei quickly thanked him, picked up the wine glass and took a sip, praised "good wine", drank it slowly, thanked him again, and said, "Last year, Guo Tu went to Zhuo County, and called me to ask, but I think that although there are doubts here, it has nothing to do with General Wei. After his parents disappeared, he sent people to search for it many times, but unfortunately he has not found anything."
Malun listened quietly. She didn't believe that Liu Bei came to the door today to clear Liu Xiu's suspicion. As soon as Yuan Shao sent back the results of Guo Tu's investigation, she felt that Liu Xiu might not be able to catch any handle. Liu Yuanqi disappeared inexplicably. Even if there was something shameful, as long as it was not a serious crime of corruption, he would not hurt Liu Xiu's roots. Liu Xiu is now deeply trusted by the emperor. The emperor handed over all the two states of Liang to him. How could he break his hands and feet because of a father's affairs? Then, he would not blame anyone who knew him or demoted him to show punishment. In a few days, he would find a reason to make up for it. Apart from stimulating Liu Xiu, there is no substantial effect. Since this is the case, it is better to let him go for the time being, and Liu Bei doesn't need to express his feelings.
"General Wei not only does not know the hidden truth, but his loyalty to His Majesty is obvious to all. The emperor's legitimate son is raised in the mansion. He is ready to go out. He not only takes good care of him, but also teaches him to practice literature and martial arts. For the safety of the emperor's legitimate son, he hides it from everyone. Even we don't know that he is the emperor's legitimate son. Who wouldn't say that they are a good father and son when they see them?" Liu Bei slowed down and became a little nervous unnaturally: "That's right, even when I meet with General Wei who has been playing with General Wei since childhood, I think that the emperor's legitimate son is the biological son of General Wei. Who would have thought that they would have no blood relationship, let alone other people."
Mullen's eyes hopped up suddenly and he didn't say anything for a long time.
"Today, I was ordered by General Wei to enter the palace to celebrate the New Year to the Empress Dowager, and bring a colorful lantern to the emperor's son. This colorful lantern was made by General Wei. The emperor's son was the same as in previous years. As soon as he got the colorful lantern, he was happy and asked many questions about General Wei. The deep feelings were so deep that I felt a little more close than the biological father and son."
Liu Bei glanced at Mullen's face, and saw that although Mullen was still very calm, his eyes were filled with ecstasy light. Then he breathed a sigh of relief, and after saying a few more gossips, he got up and said goodbye.
Mall rarely stood up and sent Liu Bei to the hall, and encouraged him as an elder. Both of them behaved normally and could not see any abnormality, but both of them understood what each other meant, and their hearts were boiling as long as the water in their hearts.
Liu Bei left Yuan’s mansion, got in the car, and walked further and further away with a calm smile.
When Mallen returned to the hall, she couldn't sit still. She walked back and forth with excitement in the hall. The more she thought about it, the happier she felt. Finally, she couldn't help laughing out loud. It was such a god-given opportunity. Liu Xiu probably wouldn't have thought that such a fatal handle would fall into her hands in this way.
Those who replace Han Dynasty are at a high level. Is it really God's will to replace Han Dynasty? Malen couldn't suppress the joy in his heart and shook his head with a smile.
"What are you doing so happy?" Yuan Wei walked in through the side door with a gloomy face. When he saw Malen's appearance, he couldn't help but ask in surprise. Malen was not angry when he saw him, but just glanced at him, his eyes full of pride and cunning.
In an instant, Yuan Wei seemed to see Mulen when he got married, so smart and so beautiful.
"What's wrong with you?" Yuan Wei was stunned for a moment and reacted first: "What good thing has you encountered?"
"What do you think?" Malun couldn't control himself and walked to Yuan Wei, saying the secret he had just learned to Yuan Wei. Although her voice was not loud, Yuan Wei was as shocked as Chun Lei. Yuan Wei gave in half a step back and widened his eyes: "How is it possible? This involves the queen, it's not a joke."
"Just make fun of it? Will I make fun of it?" Malen sneered: "Empress, what's wrong with the queen? If you don't push Queen Song down, what chance will the Yuan family have? Zhang Jiao died unexpectedly this time. Will there be such a good thing next time? Although the emperor is useless, Liu Xiu is a cunning and insidious boy. Isn't it his credit for the Yuan family to get to this point today? If it weren't for the emperor who did not deliberately suppress him, but asked him to come to Shandong, would Benchu and the Highway have a chance? Do you think the biggest threat now is Cao Cao? No, it's Liu Xiu's son."
Yuan Wei sat down, poured himself a glass of wine, and slowly savored his slightest. He frowned and slowly twisted his beard with one hand. Seeing him pondering, Malun immediately stopped talking. She knew that Yuan Wei was weighing the pros and cons at this moment. This matter was too big and done. Although it was a success, no one could stop the Yuan family's pace of replacing Han Han from now on, but if he missed the opportunity, the blow to the Yuan family should not be ignored and there would be no negligence. Especially now, he was planning to use the emperor's precautions for Liu Xiu to re-improve relationships with Liu Xiu and make considerable progress. If he decided to attack Liu Xiu, it would completely cut off the possibility of cooperation with Liu Xiu.
Yuan Wei pondered for half an hour, drank a liter of wine, then put down the wine glass and slowly raised three fingers: "I have three problems."
Mullen sat opposite him, holding his breath.
Yuan Wei looked at her: "First of all, it is not enough to just know that the emperor's legitimate son is similar to the young Liu Xiu. I also need to know whether he is similar to the young emperor."
Mullen nodded: "This is easy to deal with, just let Ah Hui ask in the palace."
Yuan Wei continued: "Secondly, there should be definite evidence to show whether the queen had an affair with Liu Xiu, and during that time, they had contact and had the possibility of adultery."
Malen smiled slightly: "This is also very simple. Let Yuan She check the relevant records and understand."
Yuan Wei was silent for a moment: "In the end, it is best to prove that the emperor's legitimate son is Liu Xiu's bloodline, not the emperor's bloodline." He slowly clenched his fists: "If there is such a method and it is confirmed, then this time I must let Liu Xiu and the Song family die without a burial place."
Mullen frowned and pondered. This last request seemed a bit too difficult!!!
