Chapter 128: Plan Early
"There are some things that you can't say without evidence."
Since Wu You hasn't said it so far, it means that he is not the kind of person who likes to play conspiracy and put people to death. Liu Yu said this, at most, it was just to remind him.
"Do you have to wait until now?" Wu You said, "This time, Xiao Lao'er just wants to inform you and let you prepare early, or...... Are you ready now? ”
"Prepare what?"
Wu You said: "Xiao Lao'er came to you at the risk of leaking the heavenly opportunity to lose his life, of course, to ask you if you are ready to be a person who is a supreme minister under ten thousand people." Hey, boy, if you don't prepare the little old man, I can wake you up, it's nothing more than which prince do you think is close to the dragon chair, you go forward to help it. It's not hard, it's not hard. ”
Liu Yu was embarrassed, a person who had lived for more than ninety years actually said that revealing heaven would cost him his life. also said that it is not difficult to assist the prince to become the emperor.
If it is really not difficult to help Su Zhe, the king of Chu, ascend the throne, it is after all, he is the prince of the old emperor's picture, and the wings of the king of Chu are not yet full, and he may achieve fame. But now he and the Seventh Prince are completely two forks in the road. If you go to lift shoes for the King of Chu with a shy face, people may not be welcome, can you trust him to make him a courtier above tens of thousands of people?
Then, Wu You's meaning is to let him assist a prince who has no ability to rely on him completely to ascend the throne, and then he can dominate the order of the Son of Heaven in the world. The answer is imminent.
Yu Wang Su Yan.
Just looking at Su Yan's cynical appearance, he doesn't look like an emperor when he sits on the dragon chair, who will be convinced? How could the old emperor rest assured that the government would be in Su Yan's hands?
If Su Yan wants to ascend the throne, either the prince and princess will all die, or he will have to rebel. These two paths cannot be considered tortuous. Instead, it leads directly to the top of the head. It's hard to climb to the sky.
Liu Yu pondered for a moment. asked, "Master Wu, are you still ...... Is there a proposal for a better one? ”
"Now that the will of heaven has been informed to you, what else do you need? Just do what you want to do, and success is in sight. Wu You got up to leave, and reminded by the way, "Don't think that the little old man has something to ask for, but in the future, when you are a supreme minister, talk to the emperor at that time." Let Xiao Lao'er continue to observe the astrology, and by the way, he can often walk around with those people in the Ministry of Industry. You don't want the rest to give to the little old man. ”
Seeing Wu You away, Liu Yu returned to the main hall and sat at the table, smiling bitterly.
What's this, spoilers? If the Mandate of Heaven can really be measured, why didn't Old Man Wu measure who the future emperor would be, and it also saved him the trouble of thinking. What Wu You said was not reliable, could it be that the old emperor came to test him?
Not like.
Xu Xuanzhu was originally talking to Cai Yingnu about the family's expenses, but when he saw Liu Yu sitting alone at the table in a daze, he came over and said softly: "Husband." Yi'er and Ting'er are waiting for you to come over. ”
Liu Yu smiled, Xu Xuanzhu was reminding him to go over to comfort his wife. It is rare that there is no estrangement between her and the sisters of the Han family. Consider the needs of your sisters.
Suddenly, Liu Yu felt that there were many things that should not be hidden from Xu Xuanzhu, and he also wanted to know the opinion of Lu Dao's wife.
"Madam, there is something I want to tell you, sit down, and talk about family life."
The relationship between their husband and wife is quite good, but more often they respect each other as guests, and there are not many times when they sit down and talk about family affairs. Xu Xuanzhu didn't know why Liu Yu looked a lot more sentimental today, thinking that he had something on his mind, so he sat down and listened to what he said.
"Soon, it's going to be a change of heaven." Liu Yudao.
Xu Xuanzhu was not surprised, and said: "The emperor's illness is indeed getting worse day by day, what does the husband mean?" ”
"What the husband means is that the most likely person to ascend the throne now is the king of Chu, and this time we have offended the king of Chu by paying grain, I'm afraid ...... Future. ”
"Huh?" This made Xu Xuanzhu unexpected, and said in astonishment, "What does the husband mean that the king of Chu will ascend the throne as emperor in the future?" Don't the other princes have a chance? If it is really the king of Chu, he will ...... us Doesn't seem to be very friendly......"
"It's not unfriendly, it's not tolerable. I mean, it's better to take advantage of the fact that the court situation is still stable, resign from the official position, and do some small business or rent to support the family with peace of mind, without involving the court situation, madam, you see......"
Xu Xuanzhu said with a little happiness on his face: "The decision of the husband is the decision of the concubine, since the concubine married into the Liu family, she has no intention of re-entering the battlefield, she just wants to marry at home with peace of mind, and ...... in the future Teach your children with your heart. ”
Xu Xuanzhu could think so, and Liu Yu's most worried heart was also put down.
"In that case, we should also think about the future, madam, what kind of business do you think we should do?" Liu Yue's worries disappeared, so he asked with a smile.
Xu Xuanzhu also had a smile of joy on his face and said, "Husband, you might as well invite the sister of the Sui family to ask, the sister of the Sui family is a good hand at doing business." With her help, we will be able to settle down in Chang'an City in the future. Make money to buy land, then rent the land, and buy the land when you have more money......"
Liu Yu smiled awkwardly, it seemed that he had inadvertently hooked out the hidden thoughts of the landlord's wife in Xu Xuanzhu's heart.
…………
comforted his wife, and it was getting late. Lunch was also ready, and the maid urged her a few times.
The Han sisters were exhausted and went to sleep first, Liu Yu put on his clothes and walked out, and bumped into Lu Chu'er, who rushed over recklessly.
"Auntie...... Uncle, I'm sorry. Lu Chu'er stabilized her mind and said anxiously, "Outside...... There were guests coming from outside. ”
"It's just a guest, so don't you have to make such a fuss?" Liu Yu didn't feel good, "If I'm still in the room and don't come out, are you going to bang on the door and go in?" ”
Lu Chuer was reprimanded, lowered her head aggrievedly, but quietly stuck out her tongue, looking disapproving.
"Who's the visitor?"
Lu Chu'er followed behind Liu Yu and replied: "It's the one who was arrested by you and taken to the yamen and beaten by Sister Cauliflower, it's called ...... Wang Hu felt disgusted when he saw him. ”
"Wang Hu?" Liu Yu remembered that he should have followed Su Bi and Chai Hulu to collect grain, could it be that the fourth princess and her party had returned to Chang'an?
"What is he doing here?"
Lu Chu'er immediately said angrily: "He brought the matchmaker and the dowry, and said that he came to propose!" I want our cauliflower sister to marry him. I'm talking to the general. ”
"Holy!"
Liu Yu also had this idea before, after marrying Xu Caihua to Wang Hu, Wang Hu could be honest, but now he didn't mention it, Wang Hu actually took the initiative to come to the door to propose marriage. Needless to say, Wang Jian also heard about the heroic deeds of "Xu Caihua Fighting the Tiger" that day, and forced him to propose marriage in order for his son to be safe in the future.
As soon as Liu Yu arrived in the front yard, he saw that there were many boxes and boxes in the yard, all of which were decorated with red silk. Wang Hu brought a lot of servants, all the little guys stood in a row, those little female soldiers looked at the point and commented from afar, as if they wanted to choose a "handsome guy" from them, those little guys had straight waists and smiles on their faces, and they seemed to enjoy the feeling of being evaluated.
Before entering the main hall, I heard an old woman like three aunts and six mothers-in-law gushing about the benefits of the young master of the Wang family, who is a single seedling and a jinshi, and his father is a high and powerful person, and the family is wealthy, and his appearance is extraordinary, knowledgeable, and down-to-earth, enterprising, and filial to his parents and respects his teacher......
Looking at Wang Hu sitting on the chair with his head down and crying with his face down, Liu Yu expressed deep sympathy in his heart, and he selectively ignored the matchmaker's self-selling and boastful words. It doesn't matter if what the matchmaker said is true or not, the point is that Wang Hu's happiness in the second half of his life is likely to be buried in Xu Caihua's hands, Wang Hu feels sad, and Liu Yue feels sad for him.
Xu Xuanzhu had been listening to the matchmaker's chatter with a smile on his face, and after listening to her words, Xu Xuanzhu said: "The son of the Wang family, this ...... Grandma, the concubine has sent someone outside the city to inform the Xu sister, you ...... Wait. ”
The matchmaker looked unhappy and said, "How can you speak and what is your lady...... Mother-in-law? ”
Liu Yuxin said that Xu Xuanzhu had no experience in dealing with matchmakers, and calling her grandma was respectful, so Liu Yu directly called her "dead old woman".
When Liu Yu entered the door, Wang Hu's eyes lit up, and he came over to salute as if asking for help, with a sad and helpless look on his face, and his eyes looked at Liu Yu dryly.
"Sir, you ...... I have to save the students once. The student still wants to serve the imperial court and does not want to marry a wife. Wang Hu pulled Liu Yu's sleeve and begged.
The concubines have married room after room, and Wang Hu actually said some high-sounding words to fool people.
Liu Yu shook off his hand and said: "Where did Wang Gongzi's words come from, the words of the matchmaker of the parents' order for this marriage event, I have no relatives with you and have no reason, how can I mention the words of rescue?" ”
As he was talking, a few more guests came to the door, it was Sui Yi and Li Mi who heard that Liu Yu had returned to Chang'an, pulled the newly promoted seven-rank official Hu Xuan, and came to the mansion to find Liu Yu to go out to eat and drink together.
Seeing Wang Hu coming to ask for marriage, Sui Yi became interested and stepped forward to ask, "Didn't Wang Dashao come to rob the people's girls again?" ”
One sentence made Wang Hu and the matchmaker's faces very ugly, as the parents of Chang'an City, they naturally understood Wang Hu's bad deeds clearly, and no matter how nice they were, they could judge that they were false.
Wang Hu didn't say a word, and at this time, a burly "man" came over at the door, and he heard him shout from afar: "Which one of you doesn't open your eyes to propose marriage to me?" Yikes! The kid surnamed Wang, you haven't been beaten enough by me, you want to be beaten again when your skin is itchy, right? ”
Xu Caihua strode forward, Wang Hu gasped, and when he saw Xu Caihua, his legs couldn't stand straight. (To be continued......)
