"There are many ways you want me to die, but they definitely don't include asking me to take Liu Xie's blood!"
joke.
Do you really think Liu Xie is a pig in a pig pen and can be manipulated by anyone?
And even take blood... As long as Cao Pi dares to show his knife in front of Liu Xie, the first thing Cao Cao will do when he comes back is to cut off Cao Pi's head!
He Yan refused to give up: "Just give it a try! Maybe your name will go down in history!"
Cao Pi: "..."
"Is it really necessary to have Liu Xie's blood?"
"It would be best, but the blood of other Liu clan princes and kings can barely be used."
Seeing that He Yan relented, Cao Pi suggested: "Can Liu Xian, King of the East China Sea, do it? In fact, his bloodline is closer to that of Emperor Guangwu."
Liu Jiang (also called Liu Qiang), the second king of East China Sea in the Eastern Han Dynasty.
This is a character as miserable as Liu Fei, the first king of Qi in the Western Han Dynasty.
Liu Jiang was Liu Xiu's first eldest son, and he was also the first legitimate eldest son. He was born to Guo Shengtong, the first empress of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and he held the position of crown prince for eighteen years.
But later Liu Xiu deposed Guo Shengtong and appointed Yin Lihua as queen. Such changes made Liu Jiang himself afraid to stay in the position of crown prince. He repeatedly asked Liu Xiu to resign and gave up the crown prince position to Yin Lihua.
Liu Yang, the first king of the East China Sea, was born to Emperor Xiaomingzong of the Eastern Han Dynasty, who was later renamed Liu Zhuang.
Unlike the descendants of Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty who often died young, the descendants of Liu Jiang are in excellent health.
Now the emperors of the Eastern Han Dynasty have passed down to the thirteenth generation, and the King of Donghai has only passed down to the sixth generation. Moreover, Liu Xian, the sixth generation king of Donghai, just succeeded this year. His father Liu Zhi has been here since the second year of Yongshou (156).
He worked for five years in Jian'an before he was able to relieve himself of the burden of guarding Donghai Kingdom. It can be considered that he has lived a long life.
"Liu Xian?"
After sorting out Liu Xian's bloodline, He Yan agreed with Cao Pi's proposal: "Okay, I'll leave it to you! They are all descendants of the Liu family anyway! If the effect is bad, the effect will be bad!"
Seeing that He Yan agreed, Cao Pi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Liu Xie didn't dare to get blood, so Liu Xian just did it casually?
Cao Pi's eyes turned: "He Yan, do you want to go out for an outing?"
"Don't go!"
He Yan has spent too much effort on Zhao Yun these days. He Yan just wants to go back to Hewu and have a good sleep. Everything else must be put to the back!
"Tch! If you don't go, I will!"
Before leaving, Cao Pi asked He Yan: "Do you know where there are many cows nearby?"
He Yan: "..."
————————
————————
Dragging his tired body back to Hewu, He Yan fell down on the bed. It was not until noon the next day that he was awakened by the hunger in his belly.
After eating some casually, He Yan finally regained some energy, and the waiter also came over to look for He Yan at this time, saying that it was Yang Xiu who came to look for him.
"Marquis Shen?"
Yang Xiu was also shocked when he saw He Yan.
"Why are you so haggard? Are the rumors outside all true?"
He Yan asked curiously: "What rumors?"
"Is the rumored blood transfusion method true? Did you transfuse your own blood to someone else and then saved the patient?"
Yang Xiu was also a little surprised by this: "When I heard that this was done by the Xinglin Academy, I guessed that it had something to do with Marquis Shen. Today, seeing how haggard Marquis Shen is, I guess I can't fake it."
He Yan Shuangzhang patted his face: "It's true, but it's really not my blood, but Cao Pi's."
"The reason why I'm like this is that I worked hard after returning from the expedition and didn't bother to adjust. I just need to rest for two days."
Unexpectedly, Yang Xiu was even more shocked when he heard He Yan's explanation: "Is it the crown prince?"
After Cao Pi publicly declared the New Learning, Cao Pi and the families who supported the New Learning almost became people wearing the same pants.
The Yang family of Hongnong, the Xun family of Yingchuan, and the Chen family of Yingchuan all tried their best to get together with Cao Pi, so Yang Xiu had some understanding of Cao Pi.
"I never thought that a person like the Crown Prince would dare to take such a risk? It seems that everyone made the right choice."
The family's current appeal is to break something that has existed since ancient times.
As the person who can inherit Cao Cao's political legacy in the future, everyone hopes to see Cao Pi make some new attempts and not stick to the past. Otherwise, how can he shoulder the burden of changing his life in the court in the future?
"If this matter spreads, the prince's reputation will definitely rise to the next level!"
Yang Xiu gradually became excited: "I wonder who the person the prince saved was?"
He Yan hesitated for a while before telling Yang Xiu: "It's Zhao Yun."
"But that Zhao Yun who killed Yuan Shao's general Han Xun at the Jiming Mountain Formation?"
Yang Xiu applauded heavily for his extremely clever idea, and the idea of helping Cao Pi and also helping Xinxue's promotion suddenly came to mind.
Seeing Yang Xiu's anxious look, He Yan still hit him with words -
"This kind of thing is always a double-edged sword, so be careful. Don't make too many enemies for Cao Pi in the court... Also, Sikong has not expressed his attitude on this matter yet, so don't go too far."
"Don't worry! I understand, I understand!"
When He Yan saw Yang Xiu's happy expression, he knew that he must not have listened to what he said.
He Yan opened his mouth to speak again, but quickly closed his mouth again.
Yang Xiuna is someone who even Cao Cao can't suppress, so he should save his words.
Moreover, the dissemination of new learning always requires some radical people, and they cannot all be boring gourds like myself, Yang Biao, and Chen Qun.
If you use people like Yang Xiu and Mi Heng well, you can get twice the result with half the effort! If you don't use them well...then you can cheat them again!
"Hey! Marquis Shen! This is really amazing! Please tell me the truth behind this!"
Yang Xiu, like everyone else, has basically zero understanding of blood.
Even if there is understanding, it is basically leaning towards the "bloodline" side, which is extremely ridiculous and wrong.
have no choice.
He Yan could only start from the beginning and tell Yang Xiu some basic knowledge about blood.
"Understood? Blood and bloodline are two completely different things. Don't confuse these two things when you go out to create momentum, otherwise it will be grandstanding."
Yang Xiu was still immersed in this small piece of new knowledge, and after digesting it, his eyes became a little disappointed.
"It's a pity that blood is different from blood, otherwise the impact of this matter on that person would be greater."
He Yan rolled his eyes at Yang Xiu: "Remember, facts are facts, truth is truth. You can use it, you can master it, but you can't twist it, you can't distort it, let alone add some unfounded things to it.
On it! Otherwise, what’s the difference between our Xinxue, Zhenwei, and Imperial Power?”
"Don't worry, Lord Shen, you understand that I still know all this."
In matters of right and wrong, Yang Xiu is still very serious, and even has a vague feeling of being reliable. This is one of the reasons why He Yan is willing to let Yang Xiu and the Hongnong Yang family behind him join the new learning camp.
.
"By the way, I found the Ma Jun that Marquis Shen wanted for you."
When it came to Ma Jun, Yang Xiu had a look of fear on his face: "Fortunately, Lord Shen, you warned me that Ma Jun has a stuttering problem, otherwise I might not be able to find it for you this time!"
Ma is a popular surname in Guanzhong. Even in Fufeng County, there are thousands of families with the surname Ma.
In order to find Ma Jun, the Hongnong Yang family spent a lot of money this time, and both black and white took action at the same time.
On the surface, because Guanzhong was too dilapidated before, the local rosters in Fufeng County were all compiled ten years ago, and there was no condition to find people.
A ranger who was still friends with Hongnong Yang was very impressed by a child with a stutter when passing through Fufeng, so he went to visit with the attitude of giving it a try. Unexpectedly, he turned out to be Ma Jun!
Under such a coincidence, Hongnong Yang found Ma Jun. Otherwise, he would have broken his promise to He Yan.
"Have you found Ma Jun?"
He Yan, who was still tired, immediately cheered up when he heard Ma Jun's voice: "Did you bring him here?"
"I have settled his family near Xuchang. If Marquis Shen wants to, he can move them to Hewu at any time."
Yang Xiu glanced at He Yan's back, then gently moved Yu and said: "Marquis Shen, be careful, someone is going to be jealous."
Following Yang Xiu's gaze, He Yan looked back and found that Deng Ai was looking towards him with his head exposed and a face full of resentment.
Behind Deng Ai's back, Deng's mother seemed to have discovered that Deng Ai was peeping on the conversation between He Yan and Yang Xiu. She quickly came over and thought that He Yan showed an apologetic look before dragging Deng Ai away.
"It's okay, the two of them can't argue."
He Yan yawned: "Dezu, I won't send you off. I've been really tired these past few days and need a good rest."
"I see!"
Yang Xiu gave He Yan a look that every man could understand.
"Marquis Shen, don't get tired the more you rest! Take care of yourself!"
"roll!"
After sending Yang Xiu away, Deng Ai escaped from Deng's mother's guard as expected and stared at He Yan with all kinds of grievances.
"What are you doing? Have a problem with your homework? I'm not free right now! Come and ask me tomorrow!"
But Deng Ai didn't reply, but stared at He Yan with his black eyes, as if He Yan had done something sorry for him...
He Yan never thought that a child could express such resentment! It was simply more terrifying than the resentment of Cao Pi and Cao Jie combined!
As a last resort, He Yan subdued and said: "Yes, that's right, He Wu will have another little stutter coming soon... But you two should become good friends. Don't you think you have a good relationship with Sun Shao?"
I thought that mentioning Sun Shao and Deng Ai would make him feel better, but he became even more angry!
"He! He! You, you, do you want to adopt that stammerer as your adopted son?"
Adopted son?
He Yan touched his chin, estimated Ma Jun's age, and shook his head decisively.
Ma Jun is probably about the same age as himself, so why would he accept such a big man as his adopted son?
But when He Yan saw Deng Ai, he became very playful——
He Yan was shocked when he pretended to be discovered: "How did you know?"
Deng Ai was really panicked now!
"No, no!"
"No? Why? If others are willing, so am I. Why do you have to meddle in other people's business?"
Deng Ai thought that He Yan really wanted to adopt Ma Jun as his adopted son, and his eyes were filled with mist.
Unfortunately, before He Yan had time to appreciate Deng Ai's adopted son, Deng Ai decisively walked back to his room and locked himself up.
Deng's mother and Da Qiao, who were disturbed by Deng Ai's movements, hurried over. The two women thought that there was some conflict between He Yan and Deng Ai, so they asked each other.
"fine."
Pulling Mother Deng and Da Qiao into his arms, He Yan quietly told the two daughters the truth.
Da Qiao silently punched He Yan's chest: "Marquis Shen, are you a bit too bad! You actually teased Deng Ai like this!"
Mother Deng didn't say anything, but was a little worried and expectant.
From Deng Ai's reaction, the three adults could tell that Deng Ai was really jealous.
What does this mean? It means that Deng Ai still agrees with He Yan in his heart.
Mother Deng had been staying with He Yan for so long, and she had already integrated herself with He Yan. At the same time, she also hoped that Deng Ai could integrate into him.
It's just that Deng Ai is a stubborn kid and doesn't want to call He Yan "father"...
Over time, Deng's mother was also afraid that He Yan would become unhappy and dislike Deng Ai.
If Deng Ai can take this opportunity to pierce the last layer of membrane between him and He Yan, it will be a good thing for everyone!
"Let's go, leave him alone, let the boy sulk alone! I and the two ladies will have a good time catching up on old times!"
"Master He! It's daytime now!"
"What happened during the day? Let's go!"
Da Qiao was about to surrender, but suddenly he remembered something and quickly pushed He Yan out: "Marquis Shen, you can't! Don't forget that Mrs. Gan, Mrs. Mi, Liu Yue and Liu Ying are also in the building.
Yeah! We can’t let them hear it!”
"It's okay, we are all a family sooner or later!"
Big Joe:???
…
…
From noon to evening, He Yan finally sat down at the table to enjoy dinner again.
Except for Deng Ai who locked himself up, Mother Deng, Da Qiao, Mrs. Gan, Mrs. Mi, Liu Yue, and Liu Ying all had red faces.
The difference is that the faces of the two in the front are flushed, while those of the women behind are blushing.
Oh, there is also Sun Shao who is drinking milk. His face should be considered...baby red?
Several people ate the food on their plates without saying a word, and the entire dining environment was extremely silent. It can be seen that this is a sign of the improvement of the quality of everyone in He Yan's family.
But not everyone in this world is qualified.
Just when He Yan finished the portion of soy sauce beef and roasted wild vegetables on the dinner plate, Deng Ai walked out of the house with a clanking sound, as if he was afraid that others wouldn't see him.
"Ai! Have you eaten? I asked the waiter to place the meal at your door. Have you seen it?"
Mother Deng asked Deng Ai if he had eaten, but in fact she kept pulling Deng Ai towards He Yan, hoping that Deng Ai could give her a surprise.
Deng Ai buried his head in his arms and took a long time before looking at He Yan.
Seeing that He Yan was not looking at him, Deng Ai had to take two steps towards He Yan.
It wasn't until he was one step away from He Yan that Deng Ai asked He Yan in a voice that only he could hear -
"He, he."
"You, you accept, you accept, that, that stuttering, as a son, is it, is it because, because I didn't, I didn't call you, call you daddy?"
