Xun Shuang can be sure that this marriage should be a key opportunity for the Xun family to join the core system under Liu Bei.

By seizing this opportunity, Xun's will be able to smoothly enter the core decision-making circle of Liu's Group, change the previous state of dissociation, and become an important existence within Liu's Group.

If this opportunity is missed, the Xun family will be excluded from the core interest system of Liu Bei Group, and it will be difficult to have the opportunity to obtain the benefits that can only be obtained by the core interest group.

If the Xun family accepts it, then it will be able to enter the core interest circle, and as long as Liu Bei wins, the Xun family will get extremely rich rewards in the future.

But this is based on Liu Bei's victory.

Don't consider the possibility of failure, if Xun gives a clear statement at this moment, how will public opinion in the world view Xun?

The concubine of the family made Liu Bei a concubine, although he was a hussar general and a famous man, but ......

The Xun clan will have to mix in the Han Empire in the future.

It's a hard thing to do.

Xun Shuang fell into a difficult choice.

It can be regarded as a coincidence that during this time, his younger brother Xun Su was seeking medical treatment in Luoyang.

Because it was difficult to make a decision alone, Xun Shuang found Xun Su, who was recuperating, and wanted to discuss with his brother how to deal with this matter.

Xun Shuang and his seven brothers were destined to have the [virtuous name] as soon as they were born because of their father [Shenjun] Xun Shu, and one of the eight brothers was not left behind, and they were praised as the [Xun's Eight Dragons].

But among the Eight Dragons, only Xun Shuang is the most recognized by the world, and the other seven people either died early or were middle-class.

Xun Su has no reputation, except for a longer life, the others are just low-key, they don't show up in the outside world, and their abilities are average, but in the end, they are brothers, and Xun Shuang is willing to talk to his brothers and listen to his opinions.

After listening to the ins and outs of this matter, Xun Su was silent for a while before slowly speaking.

"Brother, you're very optimistic about Liu Xuande, aren't you?"

"That's nature."

Xun Shuang said in a deep voice: "Can he become the master of the valve reading with a humble background, how many people are there in the Han Dynasty for four hundred years?" This kind of person is definitely a masterpiece in the world, once encountered, you can't easily oppose it, otherwise there will be endless troubles. ”

"I also look at Liu Xuande in this way, so you asked Wen Ruo to follow him to Liangzhou and gave him a lot of funding, although some people in the family oppose it, but I support it."

Xun Su said slowly: "Later, Liu Xuande's power was more powerful, and you arranged for Gongda to follow him, and there were also people who opposed it at that time, but I still supported it." ”

"Hmm."

Xun Shuang nodded and said: "Liu Xuande's power has grown and his talent is strong, in the world, I have not seen a better existence, if the Xun family wants to go further, the better and closer the relationship with him, the greater the benefits." ”

"In that case, why should my brother hesitate in this matter?"

Xun Su said in a low voice: "The foolish brother doesn't have the wisdom of the elder brother, but he also knows what to do in this matter is the best for the family, if so, why doesn't the elder brother do it?" ”

"But he's married, and what he needs is a concubine, not a wife!"

Xun Shuang said worriedly: "If what he needs is a wife, I won't say a word, and immediately marry my beloved daughter to him!" I will give him whatever he wants, and there will be no complaints! But what he needs is a concubine!

Moreover, he will never accept a concubine, if he takes a concubine, it is better to refuse it altogether, so he can only take a concubine, and in this way, how will the world view my Xun family? Do you still want family prestige?

Putting these aside, more importantly, in the eyes of the world, the Xun family is Liu Xuande's supporter, and the current situation in Luoyang is weird, once Liu Xuande returns to Luoyang, he will inevitably become the arm of the Son of Heaven, and Liu Xuande will inevitably confront the Yuan family and the He family.

At this juncture, the Xun family will inevitably be regarded as a person on Liu Xuande's side, and the Yuan family and the He family will inevitably be vigilant and suppress the Xun family, so where can the Xun family find room in Luoyang? It's hard to say whether the next generation recognizes the things of the previous generation or not. ”

"I'm afraid that Liu Xuande just wants the Xun family to have no room and fully support him, so he did this."

Xun Su nodded and said: "I often hear people say, wealth is in danger, if you want to get rich, it is not easy, of course, our Xun family is already rich, you are the door of the valve, there is nothing missing, if the brother has nothing else to ask for, there is no need to pay attention to Liu Xuande, but if there is......

Brother, this is just my personal speculation, but I think that with Liu Xuande's background, if he can get to where he is today, then if he is the final winner in the future, and the Xun family fully supports him, what he can give us is far more than what He and Yuan can give us. ”

After Xun Shuang heard this, he was silent for a while.

For a long time, he seemed to have an idea of his own.

"So, you support our marriage to Liu Xuande?"

"It's useless for me to support, this matter mainly depends on my brother's opinion."

Xun Su smiled: "It's just that I suddenly remembered the sacrifice that Brother Zhong made for the family in order to deal with the eunuchs, if Brother Zhong hadn't come forward to make a sacrifice in that matter, I'm afraid that even if the Xun family still exists, it will be divided and survive." ”

Xun Shuang raised his eyebrows.

He understood what Xun Su meant.

In that year, when the first disaster of the party was launched, Emperor Huan Liu Zhi launched a powerful political offensive against the scholars, many scholars were arrested, killed, and many families were destroyed.

In the midst of the crisis, the Xun family was forced to accept the marriage request of Tang Heng, the then permanent servant.

At that time, it was Xun Qi, the second eldest of the Xun family's eight dragons, who made a sacrifice to let his son Xun Yu form an in-law relationship with Tang Heng's daughter in exchange for Tang Heng's political support.

At the critical moment, this decision gave the Xun family hope of survival in a desperate situation, which was not easy.

Similarly, this move also brought a lot of prestige blow to the Xun family at that time, if it weren't for the fact that the family foundation of the famous family was thick enough, the Xun family would have died in the scholar group long ago.

And if you want to say that Xun Qi is completely active, it is not true.

Of course, Xun Qi didn't want his son to bear such a thing, but there was no way, back then, the brothers and distant relatives and neighbors discussed for a while, quarreled and quarreled, and almost fought, and finally came up with the best solution was that someone made sacrifices.

Enjoy the superior conditions brought by the big family to everyone, you have to make sacrifices for the family at the critical moment, no one is born to be happy, there are so many hungry people in the world, why can you enjoy happiness?

In order for the majority to continue to be happy, it is inevitable that some people will make sacrifices.

At that time, Xun Yu, Xun Yu, the son of Xun Qi, was the most suitable candidate, and there was no one.

In the end, although Xun Qi accepted the family's decision and made sacrifices, he was definitely unhappy in his heart, so within a few years after the family affairs were decided, Xun Qi died depressed.

Of course, the family didn't really treat him badly, Xun Yu's reputation was maintained, his face was basically preserved, and he was taken care of by the best resources of the family, making him today's Wang Zuozhicai.

At the beginning, the Xun family escaped a catastrophe.

And now, it seems, it's time to make a decision again.

However, unlike back then, back then, if there was no sacrifice, the family would face a fierce blow, and this time, without making sacrifices, the family would not be able to obtain the top political benefits, and the bargaining power of the Valuing House still had it.

If the Xun family is willing to give something, Liu Bei's feedback must be satisfactory to them.

So the choice was not as urgent as it was back then, and the environment was not as bad as it was back then, naturally, Liu Bei's reputation was far better than that of eunuchs.

What will happen to Luoyang in the future, Xun Shuang doesn't know.

Where Liu Bei can go in the future, Xun Shuang doesn't know.

As a speaker of a big family, Xun Shuang needs to be responsible for this family.

Generally speaking, he can't easily participate in a certain gambling game, let alone block the future of the entire Xun clan for this, at this moment when the situation in the world is changing drastically, Xun Shuang thinks a lot.

So, Xun Shuang wanted to make his own choice.

He found his youngest daughter, Xun Le.
