Chen Gong cupped his hands and said, "Back to my lord, Guo Jia seduced the Tang family, the concubine of King Hongnong!"
As soon as these words came out, even Ju Shou and Tian Feng were shocked and asked repeatedly: "Gongtai, are you serious about what you said? When did this happen?"
Chen Gong's expression remained unchanged and he continued: "This incident happened after Feng Xiao returned to Xiangyang from Nanzhong. An important figure personally told Chen. Chen didn't believe it at first, but later he sent someone to observe secretly, and it turned out that
Fengxiao has often been in and out of Queen Mother He's residence recently, so he came here to report to the lord."
In the Han Dynasty, it was not a big deal for a woman to remarry. If she were an ordinary woman, no one would care about it, but Tang Xian's identity was different. Tang Xian was the queen of Liu Bian, the young emperor of the Han Dynasty. After Liu Bian was deposed by Dong Zhuo, he was renamed King Hongnong.
Tang Xian was also demoted to the status of a princess. Equally embarrassing as Tang Xian were He Lian and Fu Shou. They were both empresses of the Han Dynasty, so naturally they could not remarry.
As a cabinet bachelor, Guo Jia knew the situation of these people very clearly, and logically he should not provoke Tang Xian. Although Guo Jia was born in a poor family, he was trusted by Liu Xin at a young age and was considered to be in a high position.
He has great power and a generous salary. As long as he nods his head, who among the noble families in Jingxiang would not want to marry their daughter to him?
However, gentlemen are fond of fair ladies. Liu Xin had met Tang Xian and knew that she was very beautiful, and Guo Jia had long passed her prime, so it was not impossible that she really fell in love with her.
Liu Xin couldn't help but pondered: "How old is Tang's family this year?"
As the leader of the Phantom Secret Agent, Jushou kept the files of these important figures in his stomach. When Liu Xin asked, he hurriedly raised his hands and said, "Back to my lord, Tang must have just reached the age of hairpin!"
In fact, Liu Xin knew Tang Xian's approximate age. He wanted to excuse Guo Jia, so he deliberately asked her. After Jushu finished speaking, Liu Xin nodded and said, "It turns out that Tang Xian is only fifteen years old.
At such a young age, she cannot be allowed to die alone. If Guo Jia intends to..."
Chen Gong interrupted Liu Xin's words and said seriously: "My lord, please forgive me for being rude. Tang will die alone, and I don't want to see it, but the ancestral rules are like this, how can it be changed? If you want Tang to remarry, you can only
One can marry her!”
After he said this, his eyes were fixed on Liu Xin, which made Liu Xin's hair stand on end. She waved her hands repeatedly and said, "In this way, I will investigate Guo Jia's matter slowly and detain him for three months."
We will wait for the matter to be clear before making another decision. The public broadcaster said frankly that Liu was very pleased and sent an order to commend him and also rewarded him with fifty taels of gold. He hoped that the public broadcaster would continue to work hard and maintain this moral code for Liu.
.”
Chen Gong did not resign, but continued: "Fengxiao's family is poor, he is also a dissolute man, loves to drink, and spends a lot of money on weekdays. I'm afraid I won't have much money left. It would be very inappropriate to deduct three months of his salary.
Fortunately, he has not made a big mistake yet, so I would like to give you a warning instead. Please think again, my lord!"
Liu Xin smiled and said: "Gongtai, you are an upright person, able to report to the public and enforce the law, but you also have a benevolent heart. It is really the right person to let you do this as the imperial censor. Okay, it's a matter of filial piety."
Don't worry about it, I will handle it seriously."
Chen Gong was a person who devoted himself to his work. Seeing that Liu Xin had already mentioned this, he stopped talking. He had many other things to deal with, so he bowed out and left. Seeing that he was approaching Dongcheng District, Jushou
, Tian Feng also said together: "Master, the ladies must be waiting at home impatiently, and my subordinates also took their leave first."
"You're not busy!" Liu Xin turned to the carriage and shouted, "Rong'er, go back to your house first and tell your wife that I have one more thing to deal with and will go back in a while."
All the snacks prepared in the carriage had been wiped out by Zhu Rong long ago. She was lying on the window looking at the surrounding scenery boredly. Suddenly she heard Liu Xin talking to her, and hurriedly raised the curtain and said: "Brother, I will go with you.
!”
Liu Xin said with a straight face: "I have business to deal with, what are you saying to follow me? Go home quickly, tell Qian'er and ask her to prepare the ingredients, and I will cook it myself when I come back!"
Hearing the word "go home", Zhu Rong felt warm in his heart. Hearing that Liu Xin was going to cook in person, he immediately hooked up the greedy man and repeatedly ordered to the strong woman: "Quick, quick
,Hurry! Go back home!"
Seeing Zhu Rong's child-like behavior, even Tian Feng couldn't help laughing and said with a smile: "Haha. My lord, only you can control a strange woman like Mrs. Rong."
Jushu continued: "Hey, Yuan Hao, what you said is wrong. Which of the lord's wives is not a strange woman?"
"You two are so disrespectful to your elders, you actually made a joke about Liu." Thinking of the lovely wives and concubines at home, Liu Xin wanted to fly back, but he had a big thing.
When he wanted to do it, he had to suppress his temper and said, "Okay, let's talk about business."
Jushou said: "My lord, the matter of filial piety is not urgent at the moment. Reunion with the ladies is more important. You'd better return home first."
Liu Xin shook his head and said: "The matter of Fengxiao is still a bit strange, and some things still need to be investigated clearly. Just now, the public station said that an important person told him the news. Who is that important person? And why should he be told to the public?
These things need to be clarified."
Tian Feng was a little puzzled and blurted out: "It's not easy to figure this out. Just ask the public radio station to find out."
Liu Xin said: "Otherwise! This important person is equivalent to the informant of the public station. If the informant is betrayed casually, who else will be willing to provide him with information in the future? If Liu goes to ask the public station, he will naturally not be able to do so.
Not to mention, but who knows if he has promised that important person to keep the secret? If this is the case, it will make it difficult for the public to be a good person, so it is better for Liu not to ask."
Tian Feng slowly stroked the three long strands of beard under his chin, silently thinking about what this "informant" meant. But Jushou heard clearly that he was in charge of the Phantom Secret Agent, those who provided intelligence to the Secret Agent
They can all be called "informants". However, he didn't understand, did Liu Xin still need to investigate these matters personally? So, he couldn't help but said: "In this case, my lord doesn't have to be busy for a while."
Liu Xin laughed and said: "Mr. Yu, of course I am not in a hurry about this matter. You can just arrange for someone to investigate slowly. Now please take me to see someone."
Ju Shou and Tian Feng looked at each other and asked in unison: "I wonder who my lord wants to see?"
Liu Xin smiled and said two words: "Ma Teng!"
Ma Teng, who was staring at the sky boredly in the yard, sneezed loudly for no reason. It had been more than ten days since he came to Xiangyang from Liangzhou. Although he had no worries about food and clothing, no one had assigned him a job.
, it is inevitable to feel a little panicked. The only consolation is that Liu Xin has not come back yet, and others dare not make the decision.
Ma Teng is not as loyal to the Han Dynasty as you described in The Romance of the Three Kingdoms. He also has his own ambitions. However, his ambitions have not yet reached the point of unifying the world. He just wants to separate one side. When Fan Chou went to lobby,
Like Han Sui and others, Ma Teng neither expressed his surrender nor openly resisted.
Wanting to maintain the status quo of his monopoly in Liangzhou. If Liu Xin just sits in Chang'an and takes no further action, Ma Teng also plans to send an envoy to Chang'an to visit him and seek a position where he will listen to orders but not announcements. Who knows that he will be killed halfway?
The appearance of Jia Xu changed Liu Xin's plan, and Zhang Fei and Huang Zhong attacked Liangzhou together.
What Ma Teng didn't expect was that Zhang Fei and Huang Zhong did not adopt the strategy of weakening first and then becoming strong. Instead, they directly attacked Han Sui, the most powerful person in Liangzhou. Although Han Sui killed Fan Chou, it gave Liu Xin the opportunity to use force.
Reason, but Ma Teng can be sure that Liu Xin's goal is the entire Liangzhou. This approach of strengthening first and then weakening is against common sense.
Although Ma Teng and Han Sui were sworn brothers, they separated and reunited countless times. They also fought against each other many times. Ma Teng's wife and child were killed in the hands of Han Sui, so Ma Teng
He has a clear view of Han Sui's strength and knows that he is not Han Sui's opponent yet.
However, under the attack of Zhang Fei and Huang Zhong, Han Sui was unable to fight back and retreated steadily. Judging from the news reported by Tan Ma, all the battles between the Liu and Han armies were fair and honest, and they were head-on.
There was no conspiracy or trickery in the battle, which shows that the combat effectiveness of Liu Xin's army is much higher than that of Han Sui.
Ma Teng knew very well that among the powerful tycoons in Liangzhou, he would be the only one after Han Sui. If Liu Xin wanted to solve the entire Liangzhou and eliminate Han Sui, he would be his next target. Ma Teng also wanted to protect himself, so he sent
The people asked the Qiang tribe for help. Ma Teng was half Qiang blood and had always had a good relationship with the Qiang people. Unexpectedly, the news brought back by the sent people surprised him. The Qiang tribes actually sided with Liu Xin.
This news caused Ma Teng's attitude to undergo a 180-degree turn. It has been five or six years since he started the rebellion. During this period, he suffered many defeats, relying on the Qiang people as a great backup to save the day. Now the Qiang people not only do not
Will continue to help myself
, and may even turn against each other. Moreover, even more shocking news came to him. Zhang Fei and Huang Zhong actually refused Han Sui's surrender and made it clear that they would kill them all. In this case, Ma Teng was forced to send Pang De
Go to Xiaoguan and submit the ascending and descending form to Liu Xin.
Ma Teng knew that he was no match for Liu Xin, so he surrendered completely this time. Not only did he hand over his seal, but also his territory and military power, and moved his family to Xiangyang to wait for Liu Xin's summons. This is what happened
For more than ten days, Ma Teng became a little impatient. Every time he sent someone to ask, the answer
My lord is still in Nanzhong, please be patient. However, Ma Teng has staked all his wealth and life. I don’t know what Liu Xin’s attitude is about the space. How can he calm down and stay here all day?
I was so lost in thought in the courtyard that I didn't even bother to take a look at the prosperous Xiangyang City.
Just because he doesn't want to go out doesn't mean that others don't want to go out. His three sons and one nephew are all teenagers, and they all feel that they have no eyesight for so many novel things in Xiangyang City. No, it's so early in the morning.
Went to the street.
Suddenly, the door banged open, and a handsome young man strode in and said angrily: "Dad, Liu Xin is bullying people too much!"
