Chapter Ninety-Four: Double Strategy, Cai's Scheme!
"Now that noon has passed, I have sent someone to see Mrs. Cai and tell her about my uncle's plan to make Liu Qi his son-in-law."
Looking at Liu Biao, who was still silent, Liu Xie said with a smile.
Although the words were soft, the edge inside made Liu Biao stunned, and he immediately sat up from the chair and asked, "Your Majesty, what do you mean by this?" ”
"I said that since my uncle can't make a choice, then I can only make a choice for my uncle myself."
"Since the Zhou Dynasty, it has always been the system of eldest sons, and I promise to make my uncle the master of Jingxiang forever, and I will never break my word."
"But uncle, I also promised to cut off the family for me, so I must make Liu Qi my son-in-law."
Liu Xie said word by word.
Liu Biao couldn't hold back his anxious heart anymore and wanted to go back to preside over the overall situation immediately.
If His Majesty's people really informed Mrs. Cai about the establishment of the heir, the result can be imagined, if the Cai family and other families rebound together, it will definitely set off stormy waves.
At this time, Liu Biao was completely like sitting on pins and needles, and he didn't care about any courtesy from the monarch and ministers, so he ran out of his legs.
"Uncle, slow down."
Liu Xie was agile, blocked the door, grabbed Liu Biao's wrist, and said with a smile: "Uncle, now that there is no one in the Han family, you are a great loyal minister, we still have to talk about the old again." ”
"Your Majesty......"
Liu Xian wanted to cry, he didn't disagree with making Liu Qi his son-in-law, in fact, Liu Qi was filial piety and kindness, and he also loved it very much.
The matter of establishing a successor, as well as cutting off the family, have to be considered in the long run, and now His Majesty is acting too quickly and too impulsively, and the two major things want to be solved together, which is too big for Liu Biao to accept at all.
"Uncle, don't worry, before I came to Jingzhou, I had already planned everything, and my uncle only needs to do what I say, and it will be foolproof."
Liu Xie comforted.
No matter whether Cao Cao will do anything in Jingzhou, as long as he can win over Liu Biao and temporarily control Jingzhou through him, then Cao Cao's survival and expansion territory will be reduced.
Eradicating these big families together is also something Liu Xie has to do.
As for the promise to Liu Biao, of course Liu Xie can do it, anyway, their father and son are short-lived ghosts, what are they afraid of?
In the end, Jingzhou, a place located in the thoroughfare of the world, will eventually fall into his own hands.
"Well, then according to your majesty's words."
Liu Biao sighed, at this time he did not agree, and there was no other way.
It is impossible for the emperor to let himself leave now, and if he really disobeys His Majesty's will, then can this loyal minister of the Han family continue to be a servant?
agrees with Liu Xie's approach, Liu Biao is actually helpless.
In fact, there is still a trace of luck in his heart, maybe by making Liu Qi his son-in-law and causing a backlash from the Cai family, he can really cut them off together!
At noon, the winter sun is exceptionally warm.
In Liu Biao's mansion, Mrs. Cai was holding her son Liu Cong, who was only a few years old, and was eating.
Jingzhou has not been implicated in the war for many years, and the people's livelihood is particularly good, Mrs. Cai has a meal, and the kitchen has made more than a dozen dishes for her.
But for each dish, she just tasted a little.
Today, Mrs. Cai's appetite is particularly bad, more than an hour ago, she arranged for the maid next to her husband Liu Biao to report, Liu Biao took a few entourages and went to Xiangyang Academy.
If it was usual, Mrs. Cai didn't care about such a trivial matter, anyway, Liu Biao only went to Sima Hui and others to discuss academics.
But today is different, because there is another person who went to Xiangyang School with a child.
The woman's intuition told Mrs. Cai that Liu Biao was going to see that person.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Cai was in a very bad mood, Mrs. Cai and the Cai family had a hard time getting to have the current situation in Jingzhou.
As long as her son Liu Cong takes over Jingzhou, the entire Jingzhou will be the world of the Cai family.
But if something happens, wouldn't Jingzhou be cheap for Liu Qi's kid?
Liu Qi is now sixteen years old and the eldest son, according to the etiquette, Liu Biao should pass on the throne to him, which is also the thing that Mrs. Cai is most worried about.
Even during this time, I was a little suspicious, thinking that everything was related to the matter of Liyan.
"Madam, there are two girls outside asking to see you."
Suddenly, the maid came to report.
"Girl?"
Mrs. Cai was a little curious and asked, "Which girl is it?" ”
"The slave doesn't know it."
The maid shook her head and said, "One of them has yellow hair and looks like a Qiang Hu. ”
"Qianghu?"
Mrs. Cai was even more puzzled, how could Qianghu appear in Jingzhou in Yongliang, Bingzhou, Liaodong and even Guanwai?
"Let them in."
Mrs. Cai also wants to see who is looking for her, should it be, Cao Cao's person again?
"Two girls, Madame let you in."
Under the leadership of the maid, Lu Lingqi and Ma Yunlu arrived at the house, and Liu Xie specially instructed the second daughter before going to Xiangyang Academy.
As long as Liu Biao is willing to come to the school, then an hour later, he will go to Mrs. Cai according to the plan.
It is useless to persuade Liu Biao to make Liu Qi his son-in-law, and he must inform Mrs. Cai of this matter to cause a backlash from the Cai family, so that Liu Xie can benefit from it.
"Madame, the two girls have arrived."
The maid brought Lu Lingqi and Ma Yunlu to the hall.
Mrs. Cai stopped her chopsticks and looked at the second daughter, both of whom were talented and beautiful, but they were different from ordinary women.
Lu Lingqi is less gentle, but more heroic, and Ma Yunlu is the yellow-haired woman with Qianghu blood.
Mrs. Cai asked, "I don't seem to know the two girls, why are you here?" ”
"Of course, it's a big deal about Madame."
Lu Lingqi smiled slightly and said, "Let me introduce myself first, I am Lu Lingqi, the daughter of Lu Bu, and the one next to me is Ma Yunlu, the daughter of Ma Teng." ”
"You are the people of Your Majesty's side!"
Mrs. Cai was shocked and looked at the second daughter in surprise.
A few days ago, she had only been in contact with Cao Cao's envoy, but she didn't expect His Majesty's people to arrive in Jingzhou so soon.
What are they here for?
Could it be that the conspiracy between himself and Cao Cao was exposed?
Mrs. Cai stared at the two of them more and more vigilantly.
"Madame, don't be nervous, we are friends and not enemies."
Lu Lingqi smiled slightly and continued: "Madame should know that the reason why my father Lu Bu surrendered to His Majesty is because he suffered a defeat in Xuzhou. ”
"There's such a thing."
Mrs. Cai bowed slightly, Lu Bu's third surname was a domestic slave, and he was a wolf with ambitions, how could he really surrender to the Han family.
Thinking that the other party was Lu Bu's daughter, Mrs. Cai lowered her guard a little.
Ma Yunlu said again: "My father Ma Teng is only an alliance with His Majesty, and my father fought several battles with Han Sui in Liangzhou, but he didn't get any bargains." ”
"Liangzhou is a barren land, where Qiang and Han live together, so it is naturally not so easy to do things."
Mrs. Cai nodded slightly, although both of them were saying that they were not so close to His Majesty, but Mrs. Cai still didn't dare to completely let down her guard, and asked, "Why did you come to see me?" ”
"Madam, Liu Jingzhou went to Xiangyang Academy today, do you know who he saw?"
Lu Lingqi asked with a smile.
"What do you want to say?"
Mrs. Cai frowned slightly.
"The person Liu Jingzhou saw was His Majesty, and they discussed that they would set up the eldest son Liu Qi as their son-in-law, and the canonization ceremony would be held within three days at most."
Lu Lingqi said with a smile, and Mrs. Cai sat up from the stool suddenly, unable to calm down anymore.
