"Your marriage with Ah Guo is not a matter of you and Ah Guo, but a matter of Yongqiu Wangfu and Taiwei's Mansion, whether Yongqiu King and Taiwei can work together to serve His Majesty." Xiahou Hui said lightly. The voice is not loud, but it is righteous and stern, and it is impossible to refute it.

Before the words fell, Mrs. Xie and Cao Zhi had already nodded in agreement, and Princess Deyang also nodded, looking at Cao Miao with eager eyes.

Cao Miao sat cross-legged on the couch, tilted his head, supported his cheeks, and looked at the uninvited Xiahou Hui, looking a little inexplicably uneasy, constantly changing his sitting posture.

Xiahou Hui nominally accompanied Princess Deyang to meet Mrs. Xie and came to see him by the way. But anyone with a discerning eye knows that the purpose of Xiahou Hui's trip is him, that is, his relationship with Sima Guo. She herself is not obscure, straight to the point, and does not give him a chance to avoid at all.

Cao Miao understood Xiahou Hui's mood and agreed with her analysis.

If the Yongqiu Mansion and the Taiwei Mansion form a marriage family, the biggest beneficiary is Cao Rong.

has a marriage relationship with the clan, Sima Yi should stop thinking about the matter of commanding the army, he should mainly avoid suspicion. Similarly, with such a close marital relationship with Taiwei, one of the three dukes, Cao Zhi can only be an imperial uncle with peace of mind in the future, otherwise he will be ambitious.

In this way, Cao Rong has two more assistants, eliminating the two biggest hidden dangers, and they are two hidden dangers with old feuds, and the possibility of joining forces is infinitely close to nothing, and he makes a lot of money.

In the face of such interests, the opinions of Cao Miao and Sima Guo are not important. With the monarch here, when will it be their turn to speak. Xiahou Hui came to explain to him that it was already for the sake of him being a patient and saving him face.

"There's something I don't quite understand." Cao Miao looked at Xiahou Hui with a smile.

"You say."

Mencius said, sacrifice life for righteousness. He also said, "If you govern the country with righteousness, why bother with profit?" Why is it that when you open your mouth, you are profitable, but you are not righteous at all. ”

"Isn't it righteousness to be loyal to the king, filial piety to the father, and sacrificing one's own interests for the peace of the world?"

"But is it fitting that you give up my profit and seek your righteousness?"

Xiahou Hui stared at Cao Miao, and his eyes became sharp. "Is Yunliang pursuing the way of Yang Zhu?"

Cao Miao laughed, her eyes even more presumptuous. "Don't button me up. No one has stipulated that if you follow Yang Zhu's way, you should die. Of course, you can despise me, it's your right, just as I can despise you. ”

Xiahou Hui laughed angrily. "I don't know what I did wrong to be despised by Yunliang. I also hope that Yunliang will not hesitate to give advice. ”

Cao Miao came out of his mind for a while. "I'll ask you a question, you can answer it or not, just think about it in your heart."

"You say."

"In the past few years since you married Sima Shi, has his attitude towards you changed? For example, after your father died. For example, after Taichu became a farmer in Luoyang. Another example is after his father was removed from the military. ”

Xiahou Hui's heart was in turmoil, and he subconsciously bit his lip.

Cao Miao saw the change in Xiahou Hui's expression, and then smiled again: "Have you ever thought about a question, if Taichu had not been appointed as a farmer in Luoyang, if Sima Yi had not been deprived of military power and turned into a lieutenant, would they be so enthusiastic that they would have to marry their daughter to me?" ”

"Yunliang, you think too much......"

"I'm thinking too much?" Cao Miao interrupted Xiahou Hui. "I don't read much, but I still have this intuition, don't try to lie to me. Don't forget, the person who said that Sima Yi would set up the enemy was me. As it turns out, I'm not talking crazy. ”

Xiahou Hui held his breath, and after a while he slowly spit it out, but his heart was still depressed.

She knew that what Cao Miao said was the truth, and the reason why Sima Yi's father and son were in a hurry to marry Sima Guo to Cao Miao now was not because they valued Cao Miao much, but out of their own interests. Sima Yi lost his military power, but Cao Zhi and Xiahou Xuan were reused by the Son of Heaven, and they needed this marriage to consolidate their position and show loyalty to the Son of Heaven.

Sima Shi asked her to end the retreat so many days in advance and return to the main room, and her intention was already obvious.

However, no matter what Cao Miao said, the matter has come to this, all she can do is face the reality, just like Sima Yi's father and son. It is also good for her to facilitate this marriage. As for whether Sima Shi treats her sincerely, it doesn't matter in the first place.

Like the marriage she is talking about now, her marriage was originally an exchange of interests and had nothing to do with feelings.

Xiahou Hui adjusted his thoughts and regained his calm. "Yunliang, this is all your own opinion, although it is not necessarily wrong, but it is inevitably biased. Hundreds of schools of thought, which one you believe in is your personal freedom. But you are not a careless hermit, you are the clan of Great Wei, you have the blood of the royal family in your body, how can you believe in the way of Yang Zhu and refuse to pluck a hair and benefit the world? ”

Cao Miao had to secretly praise, this Xiahou Hui is indeed smart, not easy to deceive.

"You're right, I'm a clan, and I should serve the country, and I can't do nothing." Cao Miao spread his hands. "But I'm a sick person, and I can't do it. So many children of the clan don't serve the country, and they have to stare at me as a patient, what is the reason? Because I'm a bully? ”

Cao Miao said, her eyes were red, tears were rolling in her eyes, and her voice was choked. "It is said that marriage is the order of my parents, and the words of the matchmaker, but my aunt died at a young age, and now I don't know where she is buried, where do I go to ask her?"

As soon as these words came out, Mrs. Chen also closed her mouth in embarrassment. No matter how much she cares about Cao Miao, after all, she is not Cao Miao's biological mother, and Cao Miao has not looked at her for so many years.

Princess Deyang also relented. Although she is in favor of this marriage, she knows that many people can benefit from this marriage, including her, but Cao Miao is a sacrifice. If Mrs. Cui was alive, there was a high probability that she would not agree to this marriage. Although it is not important whether it is married or not, the feelings of both parties are important, the important thing is the interests of the family, but there is no reason to push the biological child into the fire pit, there is a better choice.

She now regrets marrying Xiahou Hui to Sima Shi. If it weren't for Sima Yi's loss of power, but Xiahou Xuan got the opportunity to be released, how Sima Shi would treat Xiahou Hui is really hard to say. Even if Xiahou Hui doesn't say it, she, a mother, can feel it.

It was a very dangerous thing to marry the Sima clan. This is especially true for Cao Miao, a mentally impaired patient.

"Yuanrong, or ...... Besides, there's no rush on this matter anyway. Yun Liang He ......"

Xiahou Hui thought about it and eased his expression. "Yunliang, hearing is false, seeing is believing, instead of listening to rumors and doubting in the dark room, it is better to see Ah Guo and say, how about it? I can assure you that Ah Guo is a good woman, and you will never regret marrying her. ”

"If you regret it, will you compensate me?" Cao Miao said with tears in her eyes and grievances.

Xiahou Hui couldn't cry or laugh, and said casually: "Okay, if you regret it in the future, I will compensate you." As soon as the words came out, I regretted it a little and felt that I had lost it lightly. I couldn't take it back, so I had to give up.

Cao Miao hesitated for a moment, and said timidly: "That...... Just see? ”
