The original Ma Lun is not in a good mood recently, Yuan Shao was dragged by the yellow scarf in Jizhou, Yuan Kui was embarrassed by the sky in the court, and there was no place to send a fire in his belly, and when he came back, he was imprisoned at Ma Lun.

What is he for? If it's for his own son, then there is another one who says, for someone else's son - even if this person is his brother, he also thinks it's a little weird, in this case, it should be Yuan Feng charging into battle, right, why is it him, but Yuan Feng is cowering in the house and not coming out?

It is good for those who can work hard, but it also depends on whether this work is natural.

Ma Lun felt very guilty about this, and it was her big regret that she couldn't give birth to Yuan Kui, and she could only endure it in the face of Yuan Kui's venting. But she is tough and tough, she is not a person who can bear it at all, once or twice is okay, but after a long time, she can't bear it. can't get angry with Yuan Kui, she can only take down people to get angry, and then she sulks herself.

On this day, when she was on fire for a while and dropped a precious white porcelain wine glass, someone came to report that Liu Bei was coming.

Liu Bei? Mullen was stunned for a moment, and the raised eyebrows did not fall for a long time. Liu Bei is Lu Zhi's younger brother, and he has followed Lu Zhi a few times, but he has never visited alone. Although he seems to have a good relationship with Yuan Shu, he and Liu Xiu are good, Liu Xiu treats him like a brother, but Liu Xiu is the thorn in the flesh of the Yuan family.

"What is he doing here?" Mullen muttered to himself.

"It was said that he came to celebrate the New Year on behalf of Lu Jun."

Ma Lun listened, but it was not good to be too lazy, so he invited Liu Bei in. Liu Bei saluted respectfully, presented gifts, congratulated Ma Lun on behalf of Lu Zhi, and then congratulated Ma Lun with a nephew gift. Ma Lun saw Liu Bei's talent. He was respectful and polite, but he liked it a little, so he naturally asked: "Didn't you accompany Mr. back to Youzhou?" When did you return to Luoyang? โ€

Liu Bei bowed and said politely, "I just came back yesterday." When I paid my New Year's greetings to Mr. on the second day of junior high school, Mr. and I talked to my juniors about the time when Ma Fufeng opened an account and taught apprentices, and he was a generation of Confucianism, and he remembered his wife. It just so happened that I also rushed to Luoyang, so I recommended myself to come to congratulate Mrs. on behalf of Mr. โ€

What kind of man Mullen is. I immediately heard the meaning of Liu Bei's words. Last year, Guo Tu rushed to Zhuo County to inquire about Liu Xiu's parents, and once asked Liu Bei, she also knew, and when she heard it, she immediately became conscious, and while motioning to the servant to bring the wine, she asked quietly: "Your husband and Beihai Zheng Jun are both proud brothers of the ancestors, and there are high-ranking disciples like you, General Wei and General Zuo." He can now be regarded as a generation of Confucianism. โ€

Liu Bei smiled modestly: "If you talk about General Wei and General Zuo, they are indeed worthy of it, me." I am ashamed of my husband's teachings, and I don't want to mention it. โ€

Ma Lun shook his head: "The sage said, meritorious deeds, General Wei and General Zuo are meritorious, but you surpass them too much in learning, how can you be ashamed?" Moreover, meritorious service also has an opportunity to see, and if you are given a chance, you can't surpass them. โ€

Liu Bei smiled: "Thank you Madame for your teachings, I am grateful." โ€

Mullen gave a few more words of encouragement. This pretended to say casually: "My Han Dynasty established the country with filial piety, you haven't been back for a long time, the widowed mother at home, presumably I miss it tightly, it's easy to go home, don't stay at home for a while." Accompany your mother, what kind of urgency do you have to rush back? Moreover, Zhuoxian County to Luoyang is 1,800 miles, and it only took you ten days to arrive, and you have suffered a lot along the way. โ€

Liu Bei hurriedly said: "It's nothing hard, it's too urgent to delay." He thought for a while, and then said, "Madame must have known about Guo Tu's trip to Zhuojun last year." โ€

Ma Lun nodded slightly: "I know a little bit about it." She waved her hand, but she didn't hurry to ask Liu Bei what was going on, just waited for the servant to bring the wine, and persuaded diligently: "This is the wine that God rewarded when the Yuan Dynasty meeting, you can taste it." โ€

Liu Bei hurriedly thanked him, took a sip of the wine glass, praised "good wine", drank it slowly, thanked him again, and then said: "Last year, Guo Tu went to Zhuoxian County, and he also called me to inquire, but I think that although there are doubts here, it has nothing to do with General Wei. After his parents disappeared, they also sent people to search for him many times, but unfortunately nothing was found. โ€

Ma Lun listened quietly, she didn't believe that Liu Bei came to the door today, just to clear Liu Xiu's suspicions. As soon as Yuan Shao sent back the results of Guo Tu's visit, she felt that this matter might not be able to catch Liu Xiu's handle. Liu Yuanqi's inexplicable disappearance, even if there is something shady **, as long as it is not a major crime of rebellion, it will not hurt Liu Xiu's roots. Liu Xiu is now deeply trusted by the sky, and the heavens have handed over the two states of Liangliang to him, how can he break his hands and siblings because of a matter of his father's generation, and when the time comes, he will not blame anyone who does not know, or he will be demoted to show punishment, and he will find a reason to make up for it in a few days. In addition to stimulating Liu Xiu, there is no substantive role of xing, since this is the case, it is better to let it go for the time being, and there is no need for Liu Bei to intercede at all.

"Not only does General Wei not know the secret of this, but his loyalty to His Majesty is also obvious to all. The emperor was raised in the house, he treated him as if he had come out, not only took care of him, but also taught him to practice literature and martial arts, for the safety of the emperor, he hid it from everyone, even we didn't know that it was the emperor, anyone who saw them, who didn't say that they were a pair of good fathers? Liu Bei slowed down and became a little nervous unnaturally: "Speaking of which, even people like me who have been playing with General Wei since childhood, I also feel that the imperial concubine is General Wei's biological son, who would have thought that they would not have a little blood relationship, let alone others." โ€

The corners of Mullen's eyes jumped, and he didn't speak for a long time.

"Today, I was ordered by General Wei to enter the palace to congratulate the Queen Mother, and by the way, I brought a lantern to the Imperial Concubine. This lantern is made by General Wei, the emperor is the same as in previous years, as soon as he gets the lantern, he is happy to sรจ, and he asks a lot of questions about General Wei, and the feelings are deep, I think it is a little closer than his biological father. โ€

Liu Bei glanced at Ma Lun's face, and saw that although Ma Lun was still very calm, his eyes flashed with ecstasy, which secretly relieved him, and said a few more gossips, and then got up to leave.

Ma Lun got up very rarely and sent Liu Bei to the hall, and gave a few words of encouragement as an elder, both of them behaved normally, and they couldn't see anything unusual, but both of them understood what each other meant, and their hearts were boiling like boiling water.

Liu Bei left Yuan's mansion, got into the car, and walked farther and farther with a calm smile.

Maren returned to the hall, but she couldn't sit still, she walked a few steps back and forth in the hall excitedly, and the more she thought about it, the happier she felt, and then she couldn't help laughing. What a godsend, Liu Xiu probably never thought that such a fatal handle would fall into her hands in such a way.

Those who represent the Han Dynasty are high, is it really the will of God to represent the Yuan family? Unable to suppress the joy in his heart, Mullen shook his head with a smile.

"Why are you so happy?" Yuan Kui walked in from the side door, with a smile on his face, and when he saw Ma Lun's appearance, he couldn't help but ask in surprise. When Mullen saw him, he was not angry, but just glanced at him with his eyes, which were full of smugness and cunning.

In an instant, Yuan Kui seemed to see Ma Lun when he had just gotten married, he was so smart and so good-looking.

"What's wrong with you?" Yuan Kui was stunned for a moment, and was the first to react: "What good things happened?" โ€

"What do you say?" Ma Lun couldn't control himself and walked to Yuan Kui's side, and told Yuan Kui the secret he had just learned. Although her voice was not loud, it sounded as shocking to Yuan Kui as Chun Lei. Yuan Kui took half a step back and widened his eyes: "How is it possible, this involves the queen, it's not a joke." โ€

"Kidding? Am I going to make fun of this? Ma Lun sneered: "Queen, what's wrong with the queen, if you don't push Queen Song down, what chance does the Yuan family have?" This time Zhang Jiao died unexpectedly, will there be such a good thing next time? Although the sky is useless, but Liu Xiu is a cunning and dangerous little one, isn't it all his credit that the Yuan family has come to this point? If it weren't for the fact that Tian didn't deliberately suppress him, but let him come to Shandong, would Benchuhe Highway have a chance? Do you think it's Cao Cฤo who is the biggest threat now? No, it's Liu Xiu's erection. โ€

Yuan Kui sat down, poured himself a glass of wine, and tasted it slowly, his brows furrowed, and one hand slowly twisted his beard. Seeing him pondering, Ma Lun immediately stopped, she knew that Yuan Kui was weighing the pros and cons at the moment. This matter is too big, it is done, of course, it is a victory in one fell swoop, and no one can stop the pace of the Yuan family on behalf of the Han Dynasty, but in case of a single step, the blow to the Yuan family cannot be ignored, and there is no room for negligence. Especially now that he is planning to use the heavens to take advantage of Liu Xiu's precautions to regain relations with Liu Xiu and make a lot of progress, if he decides to attack Liu Xiu, it will completely cut off the possibility of cooperation with Liu Xiu.

Yuan Kui pondered for half an hour, drank a liter of wine, put down the wine glass, and slowly raised three fingers: "I have three questions." โ€

Mullen sat across from him, holding his breath.

Yuan Kui looked at her: "First of all, it's not enough to know that the imperial concubine is similar to the young Liu Xiu, I also want to know if he is similar to the young Tian." โ€

Ma Lun nodded: "This is easy to do, just let Ah Hui ask in the palace." โ€

Yuan Kui continued: "Secondly, there must be definite evidence to show whether the empress had an affair with Liu Xiu, and during that time, they had contact and there is a possibility of a contact with Jiฤn. โ€

Ma Lun smiled slightly: "This is also very simple, let Yuan Yu check the relevant records." โ€

Yuan Kui was silent for a moment: "Later, there must be a way to prove that the imperial concubine is Liu Xiu's bloodline, not the heavenly bloodline." He slowly clenched his fists: "If there is such a way, and it is confirmed, then this time I must let Liu Xiu and the Song family die without a place to be buried." โ€

Mullen frowned and was silent in thought, this latter request seemed a little too difficult. To be continued
