When the news of Xun Yu's death reached the ears of Cao Cao in the north, it was also when Liu Yan knew the news.

Cao Cao got Xun Yu to commit suicide, he was angry, and his head wind had another attack, and then he knew that Guan Xing was rescued, and he was even more furious, thinking that these people were playing a bitter trick for him, he knew that Xun Yu was dissatisfied with him being called king, but he didn't expect Xun Yu to come so much, and play Zhang Liao and Li Dian in applause. I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect it!

People who have been sick for a long time are the most unable to be angry, Cao Cao was angry, and he was critically ill again, this time, no one could save him, and he died of illness within two days.

As soon as Cao Cao died, the north was in turmoil, Cao Pi, Cao Zhi, Cao Zhang and other Cao second generations did everything to compete for the position of King of Wei, and the dispute over the storage position began. When the Gongsun clan of Liaodong learned that Cao Cao was dead, they were even more overjoyed, and they hated to start a major counterattack immediately. ，

On Liu Yan's side, Jiang Wan reported the news of Xun Yu's death to Liu Yan as soon as possible, and Liu Yan immediately found Xu Shu and Pang Tong, and praised Zhuge Liang from head to toe several times with a smile.

Looking at it this way, although the first battle of Lujiang was not won, it was not lost, the other party died a big man Xun Yu, his hostages were rescued, the loss of soldiers was negligible, Liu Yan put a heart back in his stomach and began to calculate the second battle of Lujiang.

But who knew that when she was making this plan, news came from the north that Cao Cao was dead, and the whole north was in chaos.

Plans for the Second Battle of Lujiang were put on hold. Because at this time, Lujiang was just to help the opponent rectify the internal strife and unify the external strife.

Now Liu Yan and her leadership team hope that the more chaotic the north, the better, just like Cao Cao hoped that Jingzhou would be as chaotic as possible, and it is best that no one in the second generation of Cao will obey anyone, and fight in groups for four or five years. In this way, the ships of Shu can touch Qingzhou unconsciously.

I thought so in my heart, but on the surface I didn't want to settle down. Liu Yan left Pang Tong alone to drink tea: "Senior brother, have you paid attention to the heirs of the Cao family?"

"Your Royal Highness, among the sons of Cao Thief, only Cao Pi and Cao Zhi have some strength to compete with the King of Wei, and the other heirs are not as good as them. Pang Tong told the truth.

"Huh, are only the two of them strong? Isn't there another Cao Zhang?" Liu Yan said suspiciously: "The clansmen of the Cao family, Cao Ren, Cao Hong, etc., don't have that mind?"

"Your Highness, that Cao Pi occupies the position of the eldest son, and others may not be able to look up to him. Pang Tong explained.

"Shhh...... It's going to be difficult......" Liu Yan said with a frown.

"Why did Your Highness say this?" Pang Tongyi was confused.

"It's not for my poor imperial brother, I originally thought that if the Cao thief died and the Wei Kingdom fell into civil strife, we would just sneak into Xudu and protect the imperial brother. lest he be poisoned again. Now it seems that it is impossible, and beyond what you say, the regime change over there is very smooth. ”

"This ......" Pang Tong hesitated for a moment, as if he didn't expect Liu Yan to say this.

"Forget it, I'll just say that, and let them fight, the left and right royal brothers still have a queen surnamed Cao to protect his life, as long as he doesn't want to get in the way, his life should be worry-free. Liu Yan groaned.

"Your Highness, in fact, our people have entered Cao Zhi's mansion and are now one of the external stewards of the Linzi Marquis Mansion. Pang Tong said.

"Hmm, there is such a good thing?" Liu Yan, who was already hopeless, lit up.

"Your Highness doesn't know, that Cao Zhiyuan has also been beautiful, and there are countless customers, but because of his personality, he fell out of favor. But there are still many people who are willing to follow him. Pang Tong explained.

"The possibility of him succeeding King Wei is almost none, isn't it?" Liu Yan asked rhetorically.

"Probably not. After all, behind Cao Pi, there is the shadow of the Hanoi Sima clan, and it is good to enjoy the shade under the big tree. Pang Tong said: "The support of the family is the winner at this time. ”

"Hanoi Sima ...... Many years ago, there was a Sima Yi who was arrested by the teacher, and it is said that this person was very energetic, and he once instigated the Wuxi rebellion with the strength of one person, causing peace in the four counties of Lingnan. Liu Yan recalled: "The people in this family are completely different from the Sima clan on our territory!"

"......" remembered the family that was cleaned up by Liu Yan very well-behaved, and Pang Tong realized that he had said the wrong thing, so he kept his mouth shut.

"That Sima family, the cultivation is not the way to govern the world, fortunately they are not in my Shu country. Otherwise, I will never let such a family exist. ”

"......" Pang Tong was speechless: No matter what Tao they learned, as long as their surname was Sima, you would not keep them.

"Since there are our people on the Cao family's side, let him find my imperial brother and protect him from harming the pond fish in the future. ”

In fact, Liu Yan doesn't know, the world doesn't know, "The Son of Heaven is in Xudu" is just a smoke bomb released by Cao Cao, in fact, Liu Xie and his concubines are not in Xudu at all, but in an inconspicuous farm on the outskirts of Xudu, only a few people know about this place.

The palace in Xudu was just a permanent set built by Cao Cao.

Pang Tong talked about the Sima clan in Hanoi, which reminded Liu Yan of Sima Hui again, Pang Tong did not guess wrong this time, Liu Yan was indeed a little uncomfortable in her heart: no matter which Sima family, there are no good things.

Months have passed, and it has been close in recent years. Seeing that Liu Yan was about to celebrate her twenty-seventh birthday, her subordinates began to bring up the old things again, and the recitals persuading Liu Yan to establish a reserve as soon as possible began to appear frequently.

This time, Liu Yan felt that there was no need to hide anymore, so after the last regular meeting of the princess's mansion in front of her, she left Kou Feng, Pang Tong, and Xu Shu for a small meeting.

First of all, her own position is very firm, and she clearly told the three of them that she will not have a queen, nor will she pass the children of her relatives to be heirs. The best future for Shu is to welcome back Emperor Xian, and let Emperor Xian or choose one of Emperor Xian's children to be the heir.

This requires a lot of efforts from his subordinates to make Shu strong as soon as possible.

When the three people heard such a judgment, they didn't feel good in their hearts, especially Kou Feng and Xu Shu.

"Sister, you are only twenty-six years old, and there will be many days to come, how can you say such depressing words, I knew you were going to say this, I won't come today, I won't come today!" Kou Feng said, and he was about to get up: "Today is when I haven't been here!

"Sit down! Although I only invited a few of you today, it seems that I am talking about my own private affairs, but in fact, this is a state affair! It is not a matter of a corner of my Shu Kingdom, is it child's play?" Liu Yan drank Kou Feng.

Kou Feng sat down stupidly: "Even so, it's too early!"

"It's not too early! Cao Pi is already dead, Cao Pi's accession to the throne is a sure thing, when Cao Pi was there, he still cherished his reputation and did not dare to weigh it, but what about Cao Pi? He is the same generation as the imperial brother, or the eldest brother-in-law, will he continue to raise the imperial brother's family like his father? There is also the Sima family behind him, and wait for the sky to change......" Liu Yan sighed.

"Your Highness...... You...... Why don't you want to choose an heir?" Pang Tong really couldn't understand, even if Cao Cao asked you to obey the festival, but he was already dead, even if he was still alive. Shu Kingdom, you have the final say, it is you who do not want to marry, why is this?

Liu Yan was silent for a moment, at this time she really wanted to see the teacher's expression, but then scolded herself, if you have such a thought, you should slap your mouth!

"My position as the Marquis of Shu is an expedient measure in a special period, and it has no future and cannot be inherited. Brother cares about chaos, senior brother, why aren't you sober anymore?" Liu Yan smiled bitterly and said: "Even if one day in the future, the situation changes, and I have the blood of my relatives, they will not be able to inherit my position as the Marquis of Shu." ”

"......" Kou Feng impulsively wanted to ask why, but was stopped by Xu Shu with a look. Pang Tong blushed and lowered his head. The scene was awkward again.

"This is the best decision I can think of, not only for Shu, for Dahan, but also for myself. Liu Yan pushed the tea cup in front of her and said softly.

"Since His Royal Highness has made up his mind......," Xu Shu wanted to say, "Then let's do it!" The words came to his lips but swallowed back, and Shengsheng changed to: "The subordinates must do their best to achieve their wishes." ”

Liu Yan heard Xu Shu say this, and laughed: "It's still the teacher who understands me best, and the two military advisors know this matter in their hearts, so I'm relieved." Each of you will work hard for me and for the Han family to take the first step in this revival. ”

Only then did Pang Tong understand why Liu Yan was reluctant to choose an heir, and why she said that even if she had a son, she would not pass on the throne to him.

She is a princess, even if the heir is surnamed the country in the future, in the eyes of outsiders, she is the blood of the foreign surname after all. If she is self-reliant as a king at this time, it is just that, everyone in the world can be self-reliant, but she can't. Because she is a princess and the royal sister of the Son of Heaven, her surname is Liu.

Not to mention that Emperor Xian is alive now, even if Emperor Xian dies in the future, or is forced to abdicate, she will unify the world, and she will not be the lord of the world, at least nominally to support a man with "pure" blood to be the emperor.

Hey, after all, it's because she's a woman! As a woman, what do you want to do in this world?

Pang Tong felt sorry for Liu Yan, but Kou Feng couldn't figure it out at all. After leaving the princess's mansion, he followed Xu Shu home directly, and asked the teacher why his sister said something like that.

In his opinion, the rivers and mountains of Shu belong to his sister, and only his sister's children can inherit it, so why should others take advantage of it?

My sister has no children now, but it doesn't mean that she won't have it in the future, and she is not as patriarchal as Liu Bei, even if she gives birth to a daughter, she can inherit the Marquis of Shu!

Facing the excited Kou Feng, Xu Shu was full of sorrow.

Things have finally come to this point, and she has no heirs, so the country is removed. In order for the regime change in Shu to be stable and the people of Shu to continue to enjoy the benefits she brought to them, she would rather endure eternal loneliness and continue to move forward alone with a butcher's knife.

I still remember that she said that she would take him to Qingzhou, saying that if he went there, the world would probably be peaceful.

The world is peaceful, the people have been settled, what about you? What about yourself? After welcoming the emperor back, where do you want to go?

The picture in my mind was one after another, and when I finally froze the frame, there was a white-haired old woman, wearing a long dress with patches, sitting under the eaves, surrounded by kittens, dogs, and a few chickens.

He didn't know why he was seeing that. In the picture, the old woman is slow and skinny.

This made him suddenly wake up: in fact, Tu'er didn't care about her own ending at all, she just wanted to do what she wanted to do.

How can there be people in the world who are so strict with themselves? I thought that time would change you, let you let go of your obsessions, let you relax, and try to enjoy life instead of endure it.

As a result, after seventeen years, you are still the same, and even worse, what should I do?

Xu Shu was in a bad mood, and in the face of Kou Feng's questioning, he became angry for the first time in his life: "Why do you think she made such a decision? Do you think that when she gets married and has children, things will be better than they are now? No! It will only be worse! Go back and think about it with your brain! Think about how you can really help her instead of adding to her blockage!"

Kou Feng was scolded so bloody that he went back in disgrace. Xu Shu, who was angry, sat in the study and couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.

The calm and strict Liu Yan pressed a big stone on his heart without saying a word, making him chest tightness and shortness of breath and irritable.

However, what made him even more frustrated at that time was that he also agreed with Liu Yan's point of view: her position as the Marquis of Shu has no future, let alone inheritance.

The Cao family established himself as the king of Wei, and was immediately ridiculed by the general public: he coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, and he deserved his name.

Zhuge Liang took advantage of this to make waves on the front line of the Lujiang River, forcing Xun Yu to death and Cao Cao to death.

But what if Liu Yan is not single, and she has children? Can he still be so reasonable?

Even if Liu Yan's child has the surname of the country, I am afraid that it will be cut off because of "there are no two days in the sky, and there are no two masters in the country", right?

If the emperor is offered the throne, and her children will eventually inherit the unification, then in essence, Liu Yan is also a thief who steals the country. It's hard to block the mouths of the people, why does Emperor Xian let the heirs of the Liu family not pass on the throne, but want to pass on the throne to people with foreign surnames?

The apprentice is right, she can do things, but she can't do things. The best ending of Shu is the removal of the country, and the emperor or the child of the emperor will come back to be the master of the world.

However, thinking like this did not make Xu Shu's mood better, but made him more depressed. He even hated Zhuge Liang, who used Liu Yan's life experience to build momentum for the Shu army and turned defeat into victory.

It was Zhuge Liang who publicized the "facts" of Liu Yan's widowhood to everyone. Being advertised like this, how can she change the status quo?

At present, few of those courtiers who persuade their disciples to choose an heir as soon as possible really think about her and hope that she will live comfortably. Most of them think about their own future. The high place is unbearable, and the disciple has long understood that her position can only be for her to show grace to others, and it is difficult for her to feel warmth from others.

What she needs most at the moment is someone who can stand in her position and think about her and think about her.

Ay...... Even if you are right, your children cannot inherit your position, but at least they can warm your life, when you say that there is no future, there will be no inheritance, don't you feel sad in your heart at all?
