Chapter 491: Wei Qi proposes
Although Liu Xin has no interest in Wei Zhongdao, he is still a little curious about Wei Qi, after all, Wei Qi is also the most capable talent of the Wei family in Hedong now, and according to historical records, Liu Xin feels that Wei Qi should also be the kind of person who doesn't like to do things, and will honestly work for the lord, and he is also a rare internal affairs talent.

You must know that according to Liu Xin's view, although there are endless talents in the Three Kingdoms period at the end of the Han Dynasty, among which there are countless people who are resourceful, and there are many people who are famous in the world for their talents, but there are really few celebrities of the Three Kingdoms who can really be called internal affairs talents, just like Sima Yi and Zhuge Liang are better at exerting their abilities on the battlefield, Cai Yong and Yang Biao are superior in terms of talent and learning, and Zhou Yu, Lu Meng, Lu Xun and other Eastern Wu governors (I have to say, The position of the Governor of Eastern Wu is simply toxic, and basically the people who sit in the position of Governor of Eastern Wu, although they have achieved remarkable results, they can all be said to have died young) Although they are in charge of the overall situation, they are not too good in terms of internal affairs, so in terms of internal affairs ability, the above-mentioned people are really not comparable to Wei Qi, the minister of Wei who is not well-known.
Therefore, Liu Xin is still very interested in Wei Qi, to put it simply, Liu Xin plans to introduce Wei Qi to Yizhou for development...
But back to the topic, although Liu Xin has some ideas about Wei Qi, Liu Xin doesn't plan to let Wei Qi come forward on behalf of the Hedong Wei family to successfully propose marriage, so that Wei Zhongdao and Cai Yan can reach a marriage contract, and Liu Xin has already found a problem after listening to Cai Yong's tone, that is, Cai Yong doesn't know much about the Hedong Wei family, or Wei Zhongdao of the Hedong Wei family, and it can even be said that Cai Yong's cognition of the Hedong Wei family is probably from Wei Qi's introduction.
After all, Liu Xin's understanding of Cai Yong in the past two days shows that Cai Yong is a typical person who "doesn't listen to things outside the window and only reads sage books", and his circle of friends is very narrow, basically they are all members of the scribe forces in Luoyang City, and Liu Xin also knows that with the character of these scribes, it is unlikely that he will talk about some gossip news about the Hedong Wei family, after all, most of the chats between the scribes are about talking about the wind and snow, or discussing some details of classic books, plus the influence of the Hedong Wei family has been declining over the years, And the foundation of the family is not in Luoyang City, and there are no big officials in the Han court, so it is reasonable for Cai Yong not to know the situation of the Hedong Wei family, after all, even if Liu Xin is from later generations, he has a lot of relevant information about the Three Kingdoms period, and knows the famous families in the Three Kingdoms period, but Liu Xin's understanding of the Hedong Wei family is also learned through Wei Zhongdao and Wei Qi, as for the other members of the Hedong Wei family, Liu Xin really doesn't know...
Therefore, judging from the number of historical materials in later generations, such as the Hongnong Yang family, the Yuan family and other family families have left a lot of relevant information, and many family members have left their names in history to be able to consult detailed information, but the Hedong Wei family is dwarfed, it can be seen that the Hedong Wei family has begun to decline in the Three Kingdoms period at the end of the Han Dynasty, if it weren't for Wei Qi as the last face of the Hedong Wei family, and also chose to serve the Cao Wei forces, I am afraid that the Hedong Wei family would bid farewell to the stage of history.
Therefore, Liu Xin felt that Cai Yong did not know about the situation of the Wei family in Hedong, especially for Wei Zhongdao's sick son, I am afraid he had never heard of it, and Liu Xin also suspected that the Hedong Wei family knew that Cai Yong did not know about Wei Zhongdao's situation, so he found Cai Yong, and wanted to deceive Cai Yong, first negotiated the marriage contract between Wei Zhongdao and Cai Yan, and then told Cai Yong about Wei Zhongdao's situation, so that even if Cai Yong was a hundred reluctant, but for his own reputation, and the so-called "spirit of contract", It is impossible for Cai Yong to repent of his marriage casually, not to mention that although the Hedong Wei family has begun to decline, it is still easy to deal with Cai Yong, so Liu Xin adheres to the perspective of conspiracy theories and begins to suspect that the marriage between the Hedong Wei family and Cai Yong in history is actually a fraudulent marriage!
After all, if Wei Zhongdao's illness is not mentioned, Liu Xin also thinks that Cai Yong can marry the Hedong Wei family, which is also a good decision, after all, the Hedong Wei family is also a famous family of the Han Dynasty, and Cai Yong can be regarded as a high climb if he can marry the Hedong Wei family, of course, all this is based on the fact that Wei Zhongdao is not a sick man!
After all, according to the relevant records in history, Cai Yong now only has one daughter of Cai Yan, because after Cai Yong ended his exile and returned to Luoyang, that is, around 178 AD, when Cai Yong asked Emperor Ling of Han to play, he once mentioned that he has no heirs under his knees now (this is another evidence that Cai Yong was born around 178), and in other historical records, Cai Yong only has Cai Yan's daughter, so although Liu Xin has not verified this matter, But it is visually judged that Cai Yan is Cai Yong's only child, so Cai Yong must be very fond of Cai Yan, the only daughter, and will definitely not push Cai Yan into the fire pit in order to cling to the Hedong Wei family.
And although the Hedong Wei family may have cheated on marriage in the process of Wei Zhongdao and Cai Yan's marriage contract, it is absolutely impossible for the Hedong Wei family to force marriage, forcing Cai Yong to marry Cai Yan to Wei Zhongdao, after all, Cai Yong is one of the best scribes in the Han Dynasty, although Cai Yong has not set foot in officialdom at this time, but Cai Yong can still be regarded as a famous scholar in later generations, and his influence can be described as extremely strong, even the Yuan family and the Hongnong Yang family will not offend Cai Yong at will, after all, the knife can kill, the pen can also kill, Cai Yong only needs to ascend and shout, Although it is impossible to respond to Yunqi, there will be no fewer people who are willing to stand up for Cai Yong, at least the fellow people of the scribe force will definitely stand up to help Cai Yong, and the advantage of public opinion at that time will definitely be on Cai Yong's side.
Therefore, it is impossible for the Hedong Wei family to risk the consequences of offending Cai Yong to force marriage, unless the Hedong Wei family doesn't care about their own reputation.
Thinking of this, Liu Xin suddenly felt as if he had discovered the truth of the matter, after all, it stands to reason that Cai Yong would not agree to marry Cai Yan to Wei Zhongdao, a sick son who didn't know that he would die that day, and his daughter Cai Yan might also have her reputation damaged because of this!
Thinking of this, Liu Xin pretended to be casual and said to Cai Yong: "So that's the case, this king heard the second brother of this king Yuan Benchu talk about the Hedong Wei family a few days ago, after all, the ancestor of the Hedong Wei family was the general Wei Qing back then, and the king admired General Wei very much, so when the king heard the second brother mention the Hedong Wei family, he inquired about the current situation of the Hedong Wei family, and I have to say that time is really a sharp knife, and the powerful Hedong Wei family back then is now no more than Erer, However, this king also heard a gossip, Wei Zhongdao, the sister-in-law of the Hedong Wei family, has been weak and sick since he was a child, and now he basically holds a medicine jar every day, so this king is also a whim, and he has nothing to do to calculate the fate of this Wei Zhongdao, and found that Wei Zhongdao's illness is already incurable, and it is basically impossible to live past the age of twenty. ”
Cai Yong still doesn't know that Wei Qian is likely to ask for Wei Zhongdao today, so Cai Yong can still evaluate the news mentioned by Liu Xin from a neutral point of view, "Oh, it is said that Wei Qian's expression is Wei Boru, then this Wei Zhongdao should be Wei Qian's younger brother, I didn't expect Wei Qian, who is the elder brother, to look so healthy, but the younger brother is a person who has been sick for a long time, this is really a trick." ”
Liu Xin also nodded, and no longer commented on this, after all, now Liu Xin's goal has been achieved, let Cai Yong know the true situation of Wei Zhongdao, so that as long as Cai Yong's IQ is enough, it is impossible to agree to match Cai Yan to Wei Zhongdao, and now what Liu Xin needs to do is to sit here and wait to watch a good show, after all, Liu Xin has a premonition for no reason, today Wei Qian came to visit Cai Yong, and also brought Cai Yong's favorite ancient book as a gift, Then Wei Qi must have asked Cai Yong to visit Cai Yong this time, and as the sister-in-law of the Wei family in Hedong, Wei Qi can ask Cai Yong for the only thing that can be done for his younger brother.
Therefore, Liu Xin was very curious about how Wei Qi would tell Cai Yong about this, and he didn't know that Cai Yong had already known the true situation of Wei Zhongdao.
So, Liu Xin pretended to want to get up and say goodbye, but Cai Yong felt that Wei Qi came to visit him today, and I am afraid there would be nothing important, so Cai Yong decided to keep Liu Xin, after all, Cai Yong also heard from Liu Xin's words just now, Liu Xin is still very interested in the Wei family in Hedong, so Cai Yong plans to introduce Wei Xin to Liu Xin, Liu Xin will definitely be very happy, and Wei Xin will definitely not let go of the opportunity to get to know Liu Xin, after all, Liu Xin is a hot big man in the Han Dynasty today, As the son-in-law of the Hedong Wei family, Wei Qi must be very willing to get to know Liu Xin, so as to seek benefits for the Hedong Wei family.
Therefore, adhering to the idea of "hello, hello, everyone", Cai Yong naturally opened his mouth to keep Liu Xin to stay, and Liu Xin naturally chose to stay.
After a while, Wei Qi came to the living room under the leadership of the Cai family, after all, Cai Yong's mansion is relatively small, and it will not take long from the door of the mansion to the living room.
Wei Qi walked into the living room and saw Liu Xin at a glance, originally Wei Qi saw that there was an extra stranger in the living room in addition to Cai Yong, and wanted to ask Cai Yong what was going on, after all, the reason why Wei Qi came to visit Cai Yong today was to come with the task given to him by his father, that is, as Liu Xin thought, on behalf of his younger brother Wei Zhongdao to propose to Cai Yong, and asked Cai Yong to marry Cai Yan to Wei Zhongdao.
The reason why Wei Qi got acquainted with Cai Yong was at a recent gathering of scribes in Luoyang City, Wei Qi, as the sister-in-law of the Wei family in Hedong, was also the best among the scribes of the same generation in Luoyang City, so he was naturally invited to participate in the gathering of scribes, because some of Wei Qi's opinions were consistent with Cai Yong, so Cai Yong and Wei Qi became New Year's friends, and then in the next contact, Cai Yong and Wei Qi also exchanged their personal information with each other, of course, Wei Qi could not tell Wei Zhongdao's situation, After all, Wei Zhongdao's situation has become a matter that the Hedong Wei family is unwilling to mention, although Wei Zhongdao is also Wei Qi's younger brother, but Wei Qian doesn't have much affection for Wei Zhongdao, after all, many people have intentionally or unintentionally teased themselves about Wei Zhongdao's affairs, which makes Wei Qian inevitably feel a little uncomfortable, and by the way, he can't have a good impression of Wei Zhongdao.
However, Wei Qi also learned that Cai Yong only had one daughter Cai Yan under his knees, and his father also heard that he had a good relationship with Cai Yong, and also knew about Cai Yan's existence, so Wei Qi's father, that is, the head of the Hedong Wei family, had some thoughts about Cai Yong and Cai Yan, simply put, Wei Qi's father asked his son Wei Qi to think about his other son Wei Zhongdao, so he proposed to Cai Yong and asked Cai Yong to marry Cai Yan to Wei Zhongdao.
Although Wei Qi was reluctant to accept this task at first, after all, Wei Qi felt very sorry for Cai Yong and Cai Yong's daughter Cai Yan, because Wei Qi also understood that with Wei Zhongdao's current situation, if Cai Yan was promised to Wei Zhongdao, this life would basically be over, so Wei Qi still insisted that it was not very kind to do so at the beginning and was unwilling to accept this task.
However, Wei Qi's father does not intend to give up such an opportunity, after all, for Wei Qi's father, Wei Zhongdao has become his heart disease, if it were not for the head of the Hedong Wei family, he must think about the fame of the Hedong Wei family, so he can't arrange a family affair for Wei Zhongdao casually, otherwise Wei Qi's father would have casually found a patriarch of a second- and third-rate family who was willing to marry his daughter to Wei Zhongdao, and arranged this family affair.
So in the end, under the continuous persuasion of his father, Wei Qi finally reluctantly accepted this task that was a little unkind in Wei Qi's eyes, after all, Wei Qi received an education to serve the family since he was a child, and now he is no longer deceiving Cai Yong in order to arrange a family affair for his younger brother, but for the reputation of the Hedong Wei family, so as a descendant of the Hedong Wei family and the heir to the head of the Hedong Wei family, Wei Qian can only accept this task.
Fortunately, Wei Qi also knew that Cai Yong didn't know much about the Hedong Wei family, let alone Wei Zhongdao's situation, so this means that as long as he says a few words casually, it is possible to successfully complete this task.
Therefore, Wei Qi has prepared Cai Yong's favorite gift, several ancient books that can no longer be seen on the market as a stepping stone, as long as he finds a suitable time, Wei Qi is ready to propose to Cai Yong!
