Chapter 234: Discussing with Ma Guiren
Liu Xian really wants to have a good talk with this uncle, so that she doesn't treat herself like a child all the time. And then you have to plan so many things for yourself.
If it's a peaceful world, it doesn't matter if Liu Xian is there, it doesn't matter if there is an elder who loves him and arranges everything for himself. But not now.
Liu Xian was also worried that this aunt would do too much for herself, but she couldn't follow her wishes, so in the end, she felt sad and unhappy.
After Liu Xian said to Ma Guiren, he turned to Xiaojing and said, "Xiaojing, you go to the residence that Uncle Niang prepared for me first, let someone send some things over to eat, eat and wash up and rest first." β
"Okay, then brother, you should have talked to your aunt about resting a good time."
Xiaojing stood up obediently and saluted Ma Guiren: "Uncle, Jing'er will leave first, and I will accompany you tomorrow." β
"Well, okay, Xiao Tao, you take Xiao Jing and make good arrangements."
Ma Guiren saw that Liu Xian seemed to have something very important to tell him, so he didn't let Xiaojing stay, and called her personal maid to take Xiaojing away.
"Okay, look at you like a little adult, what do you want to say to your aunt?" Ma Guiren smiled and said to Liu Xian.
Liu Xian sat opposite Ma Guiren, and then put some dishes on her bowl for Ma Guiren, and then said solemnly: "Uncle, there are some words, my nephew doesn't know how to say it for a while." β
"Well, let's talk while we eat something."
"Well, okay, it's up to you." Ma Guiren looked at Liu Xian, as if he liked it more and more, and nodded after a long time.
Liu Xian thought for a while and said, "Uncle, let's tell you about me first, I believe you also want to know." β
"Okay, over the years, I may have really suffered you two mothers, alas, that uncle, unlike your second uncle, the second uncle likes wine, he likes sex, he must not have been able to take good care of your mother. But fortunately, so that you can live in peace, otherwise...... Uncle can't even imagine it. Ma Guiren looked at Liu Xian with a look of affection.
In fact, anyone, especially someone like Ma Guiren, has always been sad about her family's future, for her, it is indeed a kind of despair. Now that she suddenly has a descendant, she is indeed happy from the bottom of her heart, and she really wants to be good to this nephew from the bottom of her heart, and wants Liu Xian to continue this royal blood of the Han family.
Later generations may be unimaginable, in this ancient era, it is indeed to pay attention to unfilial piety, there are three, and no queen is great. The world is big, and the inheritance of incense bloodline is the greatest, especially the kind of rich and noble families with noble bloodline inheritance.
In ancient times, even some condemned prisoners, if they had a person from their family who interceded, they could open the net and find a woman to keep a queen for their family before they were executed. Of course, this kind of thing is not on the table and not in the law, but it is true.
For Ma Guiren, the Han royal family is an honor, and after cutting off the bloodline, she herself feels that she has no face to meet the ancestors of this Han royal family.
Now, she really wants to protect Liu Xian well and give Liu Xian the best.
Liu Xian also felt the deep love of this Ma Guiren for him, so it was necessary for him to have a good talk with her.
Liu Xian shook his head and said comfortingly: "Uncle, there is a saying that is right, blessings and misfortunes are lurking, and misfortunes and blessings are relied upon, whether it is a blessing or a curse, and a curse cannot be avoided." In the past, you don't have to feel too much about it, uncle, so many years have passed. β
"I'll just talk about it briefly, in fact, my mother and I have come over the years, and there is nothing bad about it. That...... Dad, he should have realized something before he was killed, so he made some arrangements for me and my mother, sent Zheng Feng and some other guards to my mother's side, and brought a lot of money to send them. Therefore, when my nephew was a child, he had no worries about food and clothing, and lived a good life. β
"In this way, then this little uncle still has some conscience......" Ma Guiren nodded.
"Then, there are unforeseen circumstances, and there was a Yellow Turban riot at the beginning of the year, which also had a certain disaster to Liulin Village, where my nephew is located. A few months ago, my mother and I both contracted a death disease. β
"What? YouβYou're sick? W-How is this going on? Why didn't you tell your aunt last time? No, my mother wants to ask the court for a royal doctor to see for you. When Ma Guiren heard this, he was anxious.
"Uncle, don't worry, I'm not okay now? Listen to me. Liu Xian hurriedly said in a few words: "I was seriously ill, as if I had dreamed about something, and then the illness was cured, and I was alive, but unfortunately my mother had no choice but to go." β
"Really? What did you dream about? Isn't it pitiful that you dreamed that the gods cured your illness? Ma Guiren immediately clasped his hands together and said to God: "Thank God, I thank God for not letting our Han royal family break off." β
"It doesn't matter what I dreamed about, the important thing is that my nephew's illness is indeed completely cured, and it seems to have opened his mind." Liu Xian knew that people in this era believed in some ghosts and gods, so he had no choice but to borrow ghosts and gods.
followed Liu Xiandao: "This may also be related to everyone's growth process." It turns out that I am in a mess all day long, I can't learn literature or martial arts, I don't just ask about many things, and I don't have to worry about my nephew if my mother is there. But after my mother left, I suddenly felt that I had grown up. Looking at things, dealing with problems, and having their own ideas and opinions. It may be that my nephew knows that my mother is gone, and I will have to rely on myself in the future. So, I can't be like an ignorant kid like I used to be. β
"And then, I did a lot of things." Liu Xianshu said: "At that time, there were still some officers and soldiers and thieves who came to scourge me, so my nephew united with the head of my Liulin Village and established a self-defense force, killing a lot of Yellow Turban thieves who came to invade Liulin Village, and my nephew also killed a Yellow Turban Qu Shuai with his own hands." It seems to be one of the thirty-six square commanders of the Yellow Turban Army, named Li Damu. β
"And then, so many people ran out of food and starved to death, and my nephew thought, this living person can't be starved to death, he must find a way to get money and food. Therefore, I thought that people could get food...... These aunts should have heard of it, right? β
"I've heard about it, I've heard it when I was in Julu. However, at that time, Uncle Niang didn't believe that you came up with these solutions. This can't really be what you came up with, right? Ma Guiren said a little unconvinced.
Liu Xian was helpless, so he had to affirm: "Uncle, it's really the food that my nephew managed to get, not only that." There was also the later deal with General Huangfu Song. It's all my nephew's way of doing it single-handedly. β
"That'...... Have you met General Huangfu Song? β
"Yes, I met General Huangfu, and I also asked him to owe me a favor, until now, he still owes me more than 20 million dollars in money and things, well, there is not so much now, but it is estimated that it will take a while to pay it off."
"So, are you serious about this Liu Mansion caravan?" Ma Guiren naturally knew a lot of things about Liu Xian, but she didn't hear Liu Xian tell her in person, and it was really hard for her to believe that such a sixteen-year-old boy could do so many things.
"Uncle, you are now one of my few relatives in this world. It can be said that except for the royal sisters and aunts I have never met, you are the only relatives I can see and recognize. The nephew can feel that the uncle does regard the nephew as a close relative, so the nephew does not dare to lie to you. Liu Xian said very seriously.
"Okay, good, it's really God's eyes, my nephew has the ability, not an ordinary person. It seems that the revival of our royal family is hopeful. Ma Guiren was a little excited, and kept thanking God.
"Ahem...... ahem" Liu Xian coughed twice, and said solemnly: "Uncle, my nephew told you this, but that my nephew has really grown up and is no longer a child." I have my plans and plans. The main thing is for the safety and safety of our mother. β
"And what do you think?" Ma Guiren knew that he might be concerned and confused, and he had to re-examine this nephew.
Liu Xian thought for a while and said, "Uncle, first of all, what my nephew wants to say is that our current big man is probably about to be in chaos." β
"Huh? Xian'er, what nonsense are you talking about? Hasn't the Yellow Turban riots been suppressed this year? Why is it still messy? "Ma Guiren is indeed just a woman's family, and although she is only a lonely person, she is not too happy, but after all, her identity is there, and her life is relatively prosperous, so she naturally can't see the suffering of the Han people today, let alone know the imminent chaos in the Han world. She was indeed a little surprised by Liu Xian's remarks.
Liu Xian didn't need to say these words to this Ma Guiren, but if she didn't say it, she probably wouldn't support many things she had to do.
"Uncle Niang......" Liu Xian shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Our current big man, let's not talk about the people's suffering. Let's talk about our imperial court, today's emperor, Thakin Pang traitor, so that the court traitors are in charge, these are indisputable facts, in the people, as long as there are people of insight, they can already see the corruption of the court. You should have heard about General Lu Zhi, right? He just didn't bribe the eunuchs in the palace, but he was imprisoned by their greedy words, and he was almost beheaded. Well, let's not talk about that. β
"What my nephew wants to say is that now in our Han court, the royal power is falling, and the Han family is in a state of decline, look at the people who have the authority in the court now, which one is a fuel-efficient lamp? Perhaps, they do not dare to usurp the Han dynasty in a grand manner, but they will compete for power. Wait and see, sooner or later the big man will be in chaos. β
"What's going to be like this? If it is really as Xian'er said, then wouldn't our big man ......" Ma Guiren's face turned a little pale, and he didn't dare to imagine it.
This Han court, no matter how bad it is, makes her first emperor and her family extinct, but she really has to rely on the shadow of the Han court to live well. Without the protection of the Han court, her Ma Guiren may be nothing in Liwu County. Everything she has now may be taken away by someone else in the blink of an eye. She shuddered to think about it.
"Xian'er, you're alarmist, aren't you?" Ma Guiren was a little unconvinced.
"Uncle, there is no need for these nephews to talk nonsense." Liu Xian also looked a little helpless and said: "The general trend of the world today is like this, the Han family is weak, the imperial power is falling, and something will happen sooner or later." β
"So, if that's the case, what should Iβwhat should we do? Could it be that we can only watch our Han Dynasty decline like this? Can you ......" Ma Guiren wanted to say something, but he shook his head and said: "It's unlikely, Mrs. Ben is just a woman's family, and she has no chance to talk to the current emperor about these things, and women can't interfere in politics." β
In fact, Ma Guiren himself also knew that he only had the name of the first emperor's younger sister-in-law. Speaking of which, she hasn't even seen the current emperor. Besides, it is unlikely that the current emperor will see her, because in addition to this name, she really has nothing to do with the current emperor, and even, because she herself has no blood relationship for this Han royal family, strictly speaking, she can actually be said to be not a member of this royal family.
If it weren't for the first emperor who gave her a noble title, then now the Han Dynasty, who would respect her? Even if it is respectful, it is estimated that it is superficial.
Liu Xian also guessed what Ma Guiren wanted to say, he shook his head and said to Ma Guiren: "Uncle, there are some things that we don't have to worry about, let alone what we have the ability to save." The general trend of the world is like this, no one can come, not to mention, freezing three feet, not a day's cold. β
"Then according to Xian'er's opinion, what are we going to do now?" Ma Guiren unconsciously began to pay attention to Liu Xian's words and opinions.
"Uncle, what we have to do now is that we can only protect ourselves. We don't care what the general trend of the world is, no matter what the Han court will do in the future, what we have to do is to take advantage of this period to develop our own forces as much as possible. β
"Develop our own power? ThisγHow does this make? If this is known to the court, won't I, and we have become thieves? Ma Guiren was taken aback.
"Uncle, how did we become thieves? We were originally the royal family of the Han Dynasty, could it be that we should oppose ourselves? What the nephew means is that we must have the power to protect ourselves, in case the world is really in chaos, so that we can also have the ability to protect ourselves, in order to protect what belongs to us, including our own lives. β
"This ...... Will this really work? β
"Okay, how could it not be?" Liu Xian sat up a little straighter and said, "This is also the main reason why my nephew wants to form a caravan in Liu's house." Now that his nephew has more than 1,000 caravan guards, as well as generals like Huang Zhong, in the future, his nephew will vigorously develop the Liu Mansion caravan, and will look for more capable people to subdue and let them be used by his nephew. Therefore, this time the nephew came to pay a New Year's greeting to the aunt in advance, but just passing by, the nephew had to continue to trade, start the reputation of the nephew's caravan, and let more people come to join him. Therefore, please forgive me, my nephew will probably have to leave after staying here for a day or two. β
