Chapter Ninety-Seven: Plotting against the Zhongshan Kingdom

Seeing that Cai Yong was angry, Liu Tianhao hurriedly tightened his expression, bowed down again and said, "The son-in-law is also too happy, that's why he abruptly father-in-law!" Please also ask your father-in-law to forgive your son-in-law! ”

Cai Yong saw Liu Tianhao apologize, and he also understood his personality when he got along with Liu Tianhao on weekdays, so naturally he would not ruin the good things of his daughter and Liu Tianhao by this flaw on Liu Tianhao, but he still said bitterly,

"You said that you, the dignified general of Pingbei, and the king of Zhongshan, are princes, but you are not so serious all day long, you need to know that the husband is in the world, you should respect the way of Confucius, Meng, Huang Lao, restrain yourself, and be an example of a gentleman!"

As soon as he heard Cai Yong start preaching, Liu Tianhao's head hurt, but he still endured listening to it, and responded with a smile, "What my father-in-law said is that my son-in-law has been taught, and from now on, I will cultivate myself and seek the way of a gentleman!" ”

Hearing Liu Tianhao say this, the expression on Cai Yong's face finally relaxed, twisting his beard and lowering his head, he was still very satisfied with Liu Tianhao, the prospective son-in-law!

Mi Zhu saw that the relationship between Weng and his son-in-law had finally been sorted out, and said, "Well, Old Man Cai, you see, when is the marriage date of my father-in-law and mother-in-law?" ”

As soon as Cai Yong heard Mi Zhu's question, he continued to rub his beard, pondered for a moment, and said, "Tianhao is a prince, according to my Han laws and etiquette, from the date of marriage, he can only marry after half a year; Today is the sixth day of the twelfth month, so I think it will be the sixth day of the sixth month of June next year! ”

"Well, the old lady will really choose, the sixth day of June next year is indeed an auspicious day for the zodiac, and it is better to marry!" Without waiting for Mi Zhu and Liu Tianhao to answer, the matchmaker on the side flattered Cai Yong with a smile.

Cai Yong was obviously very impressed by the matchmaker's sycophancy, and nodded at the matchmaker, which can be regarded as admitting!

"Ah Fu, reward the matchmaker! Well, Yang, you can live in this cloud city, and I will be indispensable in this city in the future! Liu Tianhao is also in a good mood.

"Thank you, Master!" The matchmaker was in a better mood, and she did four or five gifts in half a day, and the reward could be less? The young general just said that he wanted to be rewarded by the public!

Ah Fu took the matchmaker and walked out!

After the matchmaker left, Cai Yong remembered something, so he asked, "Tianhao, are you planning to hold this wedding here in Cloudsdale?" ”

Liu Tianhao and Mi Zhu were stunned, Cai Yong's words reminded Liu Tianhao that he still has a fiefdom - Zhongshan Kingdom! Although it is said that at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the so-called princes generally only have titles and no real power, at best, they are just big landowners, for example, Liu Tianhao, the Zhongshan Kingdom, Mi Zhu told Liu Tianhao a long time ago that the real power of Zhongshan Country is Xiang, that is, Zhongshan Xiang, similar to the county guard; For example, there are Lang Yu Xiang, Beihai Xiang and the like, Liu Tianhao, the king of Zhongshan, is what Luoyang means to himself, and he can't take it too seriously!

Now being asked by Cai Yong like this, Liu Tianhao thought deeply, and after a while, he looked up like Cai Yong, clasped his fists and said, "Father-in-law Xie reminds!" ”

"Reminder of what?" Cai Yong was confused.

"Uh, it's nothing, father-in-law, I have something to discuss with Jia Wenhe, I'll go out first!" Liu Tianhao thought of where it was, and the inspiration shone in his mind, but it was difficult to grasp the essence, so he had to go to Jia Xu immediately to discuss.

“…… Well, if you have something to do, go and get busy, come back for dinner in the evening, don't stay in the barracks! ”

Cai Yong still didn't understand what Liu Tianhao was talking about, but he saw that Liu Tianhao seemed to really think of something urgent; After thinking about it, he thought that his father and daughter occupied Liu Tianhao's mansion, not to mention, and forced Liu Tianhao to live in the military camp outside the city, but he always couldn't get through in his heart, so he asked Liu Tianhao to go back to eat and live!

"Well, okay!" Liu Tianhao's whole mind was on Zhongshan Kingdom, and he didn't hear what Cai Yong said, he just casually agreed and walked out, and when he walked to the door, he turned his head and said, "Well, my son-in-law is leaving, don't blame my father-in-law!" Zizhong, you can come with me! ”

Mi Zhu hurriedly followed and left with Liu Tianhao.

Cai Yong looked at Liu Tianhao's back and muttered, "This kid is a pillar of talent, but now it is a troubled time, Tianhao will inevitably participate in it, but I don't know if I Yan'er followed him, is it a blessing or a curse?" ”

Liu Tianhao didn't hear Cai Yong's words, he was already excited when he thought of his own matter of sealing the country's Zhongshan, and rushed to Jia Xu's mansion with Mi Zhu, Dian and Xu in a hurry.

Because Jia Xu's house was personally arranged by Mi Zhu, Liu Tianhao, under the leadership of Mi Zhu, walked over all the way!

To say that Mi Zhu, a big businessman, is really not covered, from Liu Tianhao's words to Jia Xu, he knows that Jia Xu is very valued in the eyes of his lord, so the house he arranged for Jia Xu is very close to Liu Tianhao's county guard's mansion, and the middle is just across the courtyard that Mi Zhu himself arranged!

The group didn't walk a few steps to Jia Xu's house, and the servants at the door were also arranged by Mi Zhu, so they naturally knew each other, and when they saw Liu Tianhao Mi Zhu coming, the little servants hurriedly came up to salute.

"Is Wenhe at home?" Liu Tianhao blurted out.

"Tell my lord, my lord is at home!" The little servant doesn't talk nonsense either.

"Well, you serve me well!" Liu Tianhao took out a few big coins from his sleeve and handed them to the little servant, and walked straight to the courtyard.

The little servant accepted the reward, and his face was full of joy, "Thank you, sir! ”

Liu Tianhao entered the courtyard and looked around, but found that the courtyard arranged by Mi Zhu for Jia Xu was very good, quiet and elegant, and the rockery and green plants had been renovated.

"Wenhe, Wenhe!" Liu Tianhao shouted Jia Xu as he walked.

"Uh, see the lord!" Jia Xu hurriedly walked out of the lobby and greeted Liu Tianhao.

Liu Tianhao saw that the corners of Jia Xu's mouth were still stained with white porridge soup, and hurriedly said, "Wenhe got up late, and he only eats it now?" ”

Jia Xu heard Liu Tianhao's joke, but there was no wave on his face, and he said, "Yesterday was busy during the day, and at night I watched some cases sent by Zizhong, plus the saddle horse was tired a few days ago, and I am older, and my body is not as tough as you, so I got up late!" Lord, have you ever had breakfast? ”

"Well, when you said that, I just remembered that I really hadn't had breakfast!" Liu Tianhao also realized that he had really been on an empty stomach since the morning exercise.

"Oh, why don't you have breakfast together?" Jia Xu said.

"Oh, that's fine, let's talk while we eat! Zi Zhong together, Evil Lai, Zhong Kang, the two of you go out and find something to eat, Wen He can't satisfy your appetite with this white porridge! Liu Tianhao didn't have any rejection of the matter of rubbing rice at all, just like in his own home, but he drove away Xu Chu Dianwei and the others, he was afraid that Jia Xu didn't prepare so much food here.

"Wenhe, do you know that the imperial court named me the king of Zhongshan?" Liu Tianhao asked Jia Xu while drinking porridge.

"Well, I was still in Luoyang half a year ago, so I heard about it!" Jia Xu brushed the soup off his beard and replied.

"Oh, what do you think of me, the king of Zhongshan?" Liu Tianhao continued to drink porridge with his head down, without raising his head, and continued to ask.

"The gold and jade are outside, and the defeat is inside!" Jia Xu said it succinctly!

When Liu Tianhao heard this, he put down the pottery bowl in his hand and looked up at Jia Xu, "Oh? How? ”

"The lord also knows that now, since the beginning of Gaozu, after nearly 400 years, the original princes and princes have long been installed by the Luoyang court to control the military and politics, and take profits with the princes! As far as I know, the lord has never set foot in Zhongshan until now, right? Jia Xu spoke without mercy, just seeking truth and telling the truth.

Liu Tianhao's face was embarrassed, "Uh, can't you be tactful about Wen He!" Even according to what you say, these are facts; However, since the imperial court has given me the title of King of Zhongshan, and now I want to confirm this name, what should I do in Yiwenhe's opinion? ”

"What?" Jia Xu looked at Liu Tianhao in shock.

"Do you remember that I said to Dong Zhuo a few days ago that within two years, there will be a war in Jizhou, right?" Liu Tianhao asked Jia Xu rhetorically.

The story of a few days ago is still vivid, and Jia Xu nodded to remember it.

"Jizhou is a plain area, and it is the north bank of the river, Zhongshan is located in the north of Jizhou, almost at the junction of Youzhou; Now this Cloud City is where my foundation is, but in the long run, I have to find a piece of land in the Central Plains! Since this Zhongshan Kingdom is nominally mine, I want to take it down and use this land as my true foundation! Liu Tianhao stared at Jia Xu without blinking and said.

When Jia Xu heard Liu Tianhao's words, he fell into deep contemplation, staring at Liu Tianhao while rubbing his beard. After thinking for a moment, he finally spoke, "What does the lord want to do with that Zhongshan Xiang?" ”

"Those who follow me are rampant, and those who oppose me die!" The eight words that didn't hurt or itch spit out of Liu Tianhao's mouth.

Mi Zhu and Jia Xu were deeply shocked by Liu Tianhao's words.

After a long time, Jia Xu opened his mouth and asked tentatively, "Lord, do you have a plan?" ”

"Hehe, no. That's why I came to you, I know your Jia Wenhe's ability, so you can think of a way for me to do this beautifully! Liu Tianhao said with a smile.

Jia Xu lowered his head and thought for a moment, then looked up at Liu Tianhao, "When is the lord going to do this?" ”

"The sooner the better, of course! However, now that it is almost winter, just wait for Ju Yi and Hu Che'er to pick up your family, and Yun Chang and Xian have taken their wives and children's parents over, let's spend the New Year together, and wait for the beginning of spring! Liu Tianhao thought about it for a while, and also found that it was better to nest in the city in winter.

"The lord is wise!"
