Regarding Zhuge Liang's thoughts, Zhang Xi can only say. It's a good idea, but he doesn't get involved in this matter.

Zhang Xi didn't want to put unnecessary pressure on his apprentices.

Yanghu is not Deng Ai, Deng Ai's father died early when he was a child, and his mother was alive alone, and as a master, it is necessary to worry about Deng Ai's marriage.

And Deng Aina also fell in love with Guan Yinping first, and then asked Zhang Xi to come forward to propose marriage, which is completely different from the nature of shoehorning a wife to Yanghu.

People have fathers and mothers, even according to the requirements of the etiquette system of these years, they also pay attention to the "life of their parents" first, as for Zhang Xi, he is just a "matchmaker's words", and he can't be the master.

Again, when he accepted Xiao Yanghu as an apprentice, he also told Yanghu's father that in the future, which force Xiao Yanghu would serve, Zhang Xi would not make mandatory requests.

So Zhang Xi will not speak for Zhuge Liang in this matter, at most, when he asks Xiao Yanghu to write a letter to his family, he will mention this matter, and it is Taishan Goat himself who is in charge.

Besides. The dignified prime minister, it's okay to always calculate these things, it's really nothing to do, right?!

With this kung fu, let's talk about whether the Northern Expedition is good.

Zhuge Liang was annoyed by Zhang Xi's statement, and was a little speechless. But it's hard to say anything.

This thing is just this virtue, what can you expect from him?!

But the Northern Expedition.

"The matter of the Northern Expedition, after the generals gather, there is still one matter that will not be discussed later, and I want to discuss it privately with the governor." Zhuge Liang continued, "This matter is related to the country, and I hope that Yuan Chang must not shirk it. ”

Kunimamoto?!

Zhang Xi was stunned for a moment, then raised his head and looked at Zhuge Liang. I didn't speak for a long time.

As soon as he talked about the so-called national capital, Zhang Xi understood what Zhuge Liang wanted to say.

In this era, there are probably two things that can involve the country.

One is that the Son of Heaven is in poor health and is in danger of being mourned. Obviously, if Liu Chan is about to hang up, Zhuge Liang obviously will not have the heart to still care about Xiao Yanghu's marriage in his mansion.

Then there is only one left-up to now, Liu Chan, the current son of the Han Dynasty, has not been crowned a prince.

Liu Chan is not without sons, Liu Chan now has two sons, the eldest son Liu Xuan, ten years old, and the second son Liu Yao, three years old.

These two sons are not very old, and considering the premature mortality rate of children in this era, it is actually said that one of them is not appointed as the prince now.

After all, the death of the prince is just an ordinary thing, but if something happens to the prince, the political influence is very great.

However, these two children, no matter who is canonized as the crown prince, in fact, strictly speaking, they are a little unjustifiable, and these two people are not sons-in-law, that is, they are not born to Queen Zhang.

Whether it is out of etiquette or the stability of the political pattern, the canonization of Empress Zhang's son as the crown prince is the most in line with the actual needs of the current Ji Han regime.

Can. Empress Zhang and Dangjinzi have been married for almost ten years, and they still have no children.

This can't help but make Zhuge Liang worried.

If this situation continues, until Liu Xuan becomes an adult, then the voice of making Liu Xuan the crown prince will become louder and louder.

After all, a kingdom cannot be without a king for a day. The prince is also a king!!

So, Zhuge Liang's thoughts, Zhang Xi is not incomprehensible, but right.

"The Son of Heaven is in the prime of life, and the prime minister is in a hurry to think about this, right?!" Zhang Xi hesitated a little and persuaded Zhuge Liang.

"Liang also knows that the Son of Heaven is healthy and does not worry about his heirs. It's just the queen" Zhuge Liang frowned slightly, and the words were broken here.

You don't need to say it all, or it won't sound good.

After all, Liu Chan proved that it was okay for him to have children, so the problem could only be with Empress Zhang. It's just that they are all children of their sons and nephews, and Zhuge Liang is not easy to say.

If you can't have children after ten years of marriage, do you still expect a miracle in the next ten years?!

Zhuge Liang is worried about this.

Empress Zhang's position is very stable, from Liu Chan to the Yuancong faction and the Jingzhou faction, they don't want Empress Zhang to lose her position as queen, even if he has nothing to do in his life.

As for Zhuge Liang, considering the stability of the political structure, he naturally didn't want any accidents for Empress Zhang. This involves some relationships between imperial power, clans, and families.

Judging from the historical comparison between the two Han Dynasty, in fact, there is a relationship of skillful checks and balances between imperial power, clans, and families.

The relationship between the imperial power and the family has basically been a state of semi-cooperation and semi-confrontation.

The emperor is powerful, so the family must support the imperial power, after all, they need to seize local interests through the imperial power, and the imperial power also needs the family to help the court better rule the place.

And when the imperial power declines, the family will also spontaneously maintain the imperial power, after all, their vested interests come from the imperial power, and they do not want the imperial power to collapse completely.

But when the imperial power is completely lost, these families will immediately give up the old imperial power, seek cooperation with the new imperial power, and even create a new imperial power themselves.

From a historical point of view, the relationship between the two Han Dynasty, Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties is basically like this.

This is when there was the Yellow Turban Uprising, the heroes and powers in various places rose up to exterminate the Yellow Turban Army, and when Dong Zhuo was in turmoil, the princes of the Eighteenth Road begged Dong Ke to Cao Cao to be crowned king, and the loyal ministers of the Han family, except for a Liu Bei and a Xun Yu, were all gone.

And in the Cao Wei era, after the Gaopingling Incident, there were three rebellions in Huainan, but when Sima Zhao killed the monarch on the street, Cao Wei's family didn't even have a fart.

It can be seen that for the imperial power, the family can cooperate, but it cannot be relied on.

As far as the imperial power is concerned, the only force that can really be relied on is the clan.

In this regard, Cao Wei is the best.

On the one hand, Cao Wei's clan is indeed full of talents, whether it is fighting the world or guarding the world, there are indeed a lot of talents, except for Cao Shuang's garbage.

On the other hand, whether it is Cao Pi or Cao Rong, or even Cao Fang, they are still clear about the role of the clan, although they are somewhat wary of the clan, but at the critical moment, they still know that only their own family can be trusted.

Even if it was Cao Fang, when he was seeking to kill Sima Shi's dictatorship, he also consulted with Xiahou Xuan, Zhang Ji and others.

Xiahou Xuan is a member of the clan, and Zhang Ji is the father of Empress Cao Fang, a relative and an outer branch of the clan.

It can be seen that the relationship between the clan and the imperial power is the relationship between both losses and prosperity, and it is also the best helper used by the imperial power to balance the family.

But Cao Wei can do this, because he thinks that the old Cao family really has a lot of people, whether it is the Cao family or the Xiahou family, it is a big family, and Liu Bei's family does not have this condition.

In fact, strictly speaking, as Liu Bei, who is a relative of the Han family, most of the people surnamed Liu in the world can be regarded as clans. But the problem is that the blood relationship between people surnamed Liu in this world has faded to the point that they are basically no different from passers-by, especially after Liu Bei, the former King of Zhongshan in the Han Dynasty.

Liu Biao, Liu Zhang, although they still recognize Liu Bei as a clan, they are all wary in their hearts, and people like Liu Ye and Liu Fang would rather be officials on Cao Wei's side than come to Liu Bei.

Liu Bei's clan, he really has no one. Otherwise, as for Liu Bei who has passed away now, does Liu Chan still have waste snacks like Liu Yan?!

It is just to set an example, and if you really want to rely on it, it is absolutely unreliable.

Therefore, for Liu Chan, the clan strength that he can really rely on is actually the Zhang family and the Guan family. His father's two brothers with different surnames are much more reliable than those surnamed Liu.

Especially the Zhang family, that is, Zhang Fei's lineage.

After all, Liu Chan's queen is surnamed Zhang.

Therefore, from Zhuge Liang's point of view, he certainly hopes that the child born to Empress Zhang can be established as the crown prince by Liu Chan. Zhuge Liang's position has always been on the position of imperial power.

But now, since Empress Zhang and the Son of Heaven have been married for ten years and have not been able to give birth to an heir, Zhuge Liang pondered, doesn't the old Zhang family have a little daughter.

It seems that this year is almost an adult, and there is no promise of a partner. Well, Zhuge Liang is moving this mind.

As long as the crown prince is the grandson of the Zhang family, then the power of this clan can be considered stable.

As for the Guan family, it doesn't matter, it won't be without opportunities in the future, for example, Guan Ping's son, Guan Xing's son, and even the daughter of "Guan Suo", in fact, you can also consider it.

It's just that this matter, he Zhuge Liang is a little difficult to open this mouth in person.

After all, today's son called him "father", and now that Zhang Fei and Guan Yu have passed away, he, who is a patriarch, went to the door to ask the Zhang family to agree to "two daughters serving one husband".

After all, the situation is different from what it was in history. In history, when Empress Xiao Zhang entered the palace, her sister unfortunately died of illness.

But at this time, Queen Dazhang is still alive and well, and the relationship between Queen Dazhang and Liu Chan is quite harmonious.

So, Zhuge Liang is hoping that Zhang Xi can go and discuss with Zhang Fei's widow, Mrs. Xiahou, to see if this matter is possible. Zhang Xi immediately sternly refused.

Just kidding, you Zhuge Liang think it's not serious, and I won't lose face if I work together, right?!

Lao Tzu was also a comrade who ate with General Zhang Fei with a horse spoon back then, can he do such a lack of virtue for you?!

Return the country?!

Well. Out of respect for Zhuge Liang, I won't "bah", but my eyes show contempt, and I still have to have it!!

Whoever likes to do it, anyway, Lao Tzu doesn't do it!!
