Chapter 166: Dominance

Fei Guan claimed to have a clever plan, and the spirits of the two of them suddenly lifted, and they all set their eyes on Fei Guan, and Zhuo Ying couldn't wait to urge: "Bingbo, if you have any good plans, just say it quickly, don't hang our appetite." ”

Fei Guan stroked his beard and smiled, and said: "Actually, it's simple, I think the two of you also know that there is only one Mrs. Mi under the lord's body, and Ziyuan's sister is still in widowhood, if you can imagine trying to get the lord to accept the sister, in this way, wouldn't my Kanto Shiren climb the big backer of the lord, and then even if it is a Fufeng person, we Kanto Shiren can also sit back and relax." ”

It turned out that Fei Guan had such an idea, and the two of them were surprised, Wu Yi smiled bitterly: "Okay, you are a Binbo, you also came up with such an idea." You also know that my sister is a widow, and his first husband is Liu Jiyu's brother, don't you think it's ridiculous for the lord to marry my sister? ”

Fei Guan patted Wu Yi's shoulder and said with a smile: "Ziyuan, you will see you in a short time, it doesn't matter if you are a widow or not, don't you see what kind of background Cao Ying's main room is?" What's more, if the lord really has the heart to win over my Kanto scholars, don't say that your sister is a beautiful widow, even if she is as ugly as Zhong Wuyan, the lord will still want it. ”

The atmosphere of the Han Dynasty was open, and the scholars looked down on the festival and the like very lightly, and Fei Guan said that it was not unreasonable, but Wu Yi was still worried: "Even so, but my sister is Liu Jiyu's brother and sister-in-law, can he look at the lord?" ”

At this time, Zhuo Ying said: "This doesn't matter, because Ling Mei was Liu Jiyu's brother and sister-in-law, so if the lord can marry her, it will be more able to appease the hearts of those scholars who still miss Ji Yu. ”

The persuasion of these two gradually moved Wu Yi, he pondered for a moment, his eyebrows gradually stretched, and said, "Since you both agree, then you might as well give it a try." It's just that how to carry out this good deed, you can't let me, as an elder brother, take the initiative to ask the lord for a kiss. ”

A few people thought about it for a while, and then Fei Guan said: "Of course, it won't work to talk to the lord in person, only knock on the side, if you can get the trust of the lord and try your best to match, then this matter can probably be done." ”

Zhuo Ying said: "The people who are trusted by the lord's side are nothing more than two military advisors, Fang Zhongzheng and Fa Xiaozhi and others, the three people in front of them are from Jingzhou, most of them will not help, as for Fa Xiaozhi...... Well, when I didn't say. ”

Zhuo Ying didn't say a word, but Wu Yi's eyes lit up, and he said: "This matter really has to rely on filial piety!" ”

Zhuo Ying was stunned for a moment, and said puzzledly: "Let's rub this marriage, just because we are afraid that we will be ridden on the head by his Fengshi people, Ziyuan, but you went to seek Fa Zheng, aren't you joking." ”

Wu Yi smiled mysteriously and said: "Then you will fall into obsession, you must know that Fa Xiaozhi is a Fufeng scholar relative to you and me, but compared to the lord, he is a Dongzhou scholar." If my sister can marry the lord, it will be the marriage between the Dongzhou scholars and the lord, so that we can improve our position below the Jingzhou scholars, and it will be profitable for everyone, I expect that the law will be filial piety and will agree. ”

After hearing this, the two couldn't help but nod their heads, and Fei Guan praised with a thumbs up: "It seems that Ziyuan is still old and spicy, okay, it's so decided, and I will go to Fa Xiaozhi to be a lobbyist again." ”

Wu Yi immediately said: "No, it's better for Bin Bo not to come forward in this matter, so as not to be suspicious of filial piety." ”

Fei Guan said: "In Ziyuan's opinion, who is more suitable to be this lobbyist." ”

Wu Yi pondered for a moment, a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and said, "This person must be Xu Wenxiu." ”

The Xu Wenxiu mentioned in Wu Yi's mouth is Xu Jing. This person is a generation of celebrities, people from Runan, but successively served in Kong Ling, Xu Gong, Wang Lang, Liu Zhang, when Liu Bei first set Yizhou, he was quite contemptuous of this person's personality, and he didn't want to reuse, but at the critical moment, Fa Zheng stood up to speak for Xu Jing, so Liu Bei treated him favorably and appointed him as the head of General Zuo's mansion, which is equivalent to the position of secretary general under Liu Bei.

Obviously, Xu Jing has a very good relationship with Fa Zheng, and Xu Jing is a Kwantung scholar, and his interests are implicated in the Kwantung and Fufeng scholars.

Wu Yi's choice was obviously very smart, and the two raised their hands in favor at that time, so they looked for an opportunity to persuade Xu Jing and explain the benefits and disadvantages to him, and Xu Jing was naturally a smart person, even if he agreed to this matter.

To say this Xu Jing, everyone says that he is in name only, but his mouth is quite neat, after his side knock, Fa Zheng happily followed his advice, so, shortly after sending Zhuge Jin away, in a private meeting of the monarch and ministers, the matter was raised to Liu Bei.

When Liu Bei heard Fa Zheng's words, he couldn't help but be shocked in his heart, and hurriedly said: "I and Ji Yu are both relatives of the Han family, if I marry his brother and sister-in-law, wouldn't it be bad for people!" Filial piety, I'm just afraid I can't afford it. ”

Fa Zheng said: "The lord's words are wrong. In order to get the support of the Qin State to complete the great cause of restoring the country, didn't he also marry Huai Ying, the daughter-in-law of his younger brother Jin Huigong? If you have to count the relationship between relatives and relatives, will the relationship between the lord and Liu Mao be closer than the relationship between Duke Wen of Jin and his own nephew? ”

Liu Bei was speechless for a while, thought for a while, and said: "Although the words of filial piety are reasonable, I am over fifty years old, and I already have a child under my knees, so I don't care much about the woman, but I don't have to take a concubine anymore." ”

Liu Bei said that he didn't love women, which was obviously insincere, and it was estimated that he was thinking in his heart: Even if Lao Tzu takes a concubine, he has to pick a few beautiful girls from good families who are pleasing to the eye, so why do you have to marry a widow who has never seen you.

At this time, Fa Zheng's expression became more and more solemn, and he said: "Just saying this good medium for the lord actually has another deep meaning." This Wu's father is an old friend of Liu Yan, and this daughter has a good personal relationship with the Yizhou scholars who were previously loyal to Liu Jiyu, and if the lord can marry this woman, it will be a kind of attraction to these people. Moreover, even if this layer is not considered, the lord should marry a Yizhou woman to show his honor and favor to the Yizhou scholars. Besides, the lord sits in the land of two states, and how can he serve with only one lady by his side, so in public and private, the lord should marry the Wu family, otherwise, how can the Yizhou scholars be loyal to the lord in a down-to-earth manner. ”

Fa Zheng kept saying that this move was to win over the Yizhou scholars, which seemed reasonable, but Liu Bei was so cold that he broke out in a cold sweat when he heard it.

You must know that although he is also a Yizhou scholar in name, he is actually a Dongzhou scholar, which is essentially different from the indigenous scholars. And that Wu is Wu Yi's sister, how can Liu Bei not know that he is also a Dongzhou scholar, and the same law is wearing the same pants, Fa Zheng's move is not so much to protect the interests of Yizhou scholars, but to say that it is for his Dongzhou scholar group.

And the implication of Fa Zheng's last sentence seems to be a bit more persecutive Liu Bei, that is, if you want to get the loyalty of my Dongzhou Gang, you must marry this Wu family, if you don't know, don't blame us for not being steadfast in our hearts.

The last time Fa corrected them, the result of their unsteadfastness was betraying Liu Zhang, and this time they were unsteadfast, Liu Bei certainly knew who they would betray.

This is clearly a euphemistic warning.

Liu Bei is not the cowardly lord of Liu Zhang, for the persecution of Fazheng, Liu Bei's heart suddenly became angry, but he frowned and thought for a long time, but he still had to suppress the fire, muttered for a long time, turned his worries into joy, and said: "It's rare that filial piety is so conceived for me, yes, I agreed to this marriage." It's just that this Wu family is my brother and sister-in-law, if people don't want to, I think they still can't come. ”

Seeing Liu Bei's agreement, Fa Zheng couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "This lord doesn't have to worry, the lord is a generation of heroes, which woman in the world doesn't dream of serving the lord, Wu's side, since the old man is coming to peace this month, the lord will wait for the good news." ”

The news that Liu Bei planned to marry Wu Yi's sister spread far and wide, and Wu Yi, Fei Guan, Shejian and other Dongzhou scholars were greatly pleased, while Huang Quan and other Yizhou scholars were also quite relieved to hear about it.

However, some people are happy, some people are displeased, and the most unhappy ones are, of course, Mi Zhu and other Xuzhou elders.

Originally, Liu Bei only had Mrs. Mi, a wife, and gave birth to Liu Tai, a son-in-law, even if it was the eldest son of the eldest son Liu Chan, it was also born to Mrs. Gan, who was born in Xuzhou. Therefore, Mi Zhu, Sun Qian and other Xuzhou veteran groups, although their abilities are not very good, but relying on their special relationship with Liu Bei, they are now in a high position, and their honor and favor are extraordinary.

Now Liu Bei suddenly wants to marry the Wu family, which obviously has the intention of winning over the Yizhou scholars, and with the strength of the Yizhou scholars, if the Wu family gives birth to a boy and a half girl in the future, it will undoubtedly threaten the status of Mrs. Mi and the inheritance of the two young sons with Xuzhou blood, which of course Mi Zhu and others do not want to see.

As for the Jingzhou scholars represented by Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong, although they are in favor of wooing the Yizhou scholars, there is a limit, if the Wu family gives birth to a son for Liu Bei in the future, the power of the Yizhou scholars will continue to expand by virtue of this relationship, which will inevitably threaten the dominance of the Jingzhou scholars.

If there is another accident in the inheritance, then if Liu Bei dies in the future, it is very likely that the Yizhou scholars will replace the Jingzhou scholars to become the ruling class of Liu Bei's group, which is obviously what Zhuge Liang and his Jingzhou people do not want to see.

Because of its weak power and the fact that it has lived in Jingzhou for more than ten years, Xuzhou Group has been continuously integrated with the Jingzhou scholars, and has formed a close relationship, and the scholars of the two parties naturally have common interests.

So, soon after this news was confirmed, Mi Zhu, Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, Fang Shao and other heavyweights of the Jingxu Group would be in Mi Zhu's mansion to discuss how to deal with the matter.
