Liu Xin said without hesitation: "Of course Miss Yueying can continue her studies. Is there any doubt about this?"
Huang Chengyan hesitated for a moment and said: "Yueying is getting older, and it will be inconvenient to hang out with those boys, so the common people..."
Because Huang Yueying is his only daughter, Huang Chengyan has always raised this daughter as a boy and has high hopes for her. Just now, for the sake of the future of the Huang family, Huang Chengyan did not hesitate to sacrifice his daughter's studies and instead fight for a few years for the Huang family's children.
In order to convince himself, when hesitating, Huang Chengyan also found a reason, that is, his daughter was older and it was not appropriate to study with a boy.
Sometimes people's thoughts are very strange. Together with this thought, it grew like weeds in Huang Chengyan's heart. He felt more and more that his daughter could not continue to study in the academy, otherwise she would be looked down upon by the Liu family.
Although it has been more than ten years since he came to this era where men are superior to women, Liu Xin's thoughts have not been affected too much, and even if he was affected, Ma Yun would not let him go, so Liu Xin has not considered this issue at all.
. Of course, both Liu Xin and Ma Yun knew that trying to emphasize equality between men and women in this era was tantamount to wishful thinking, so they did not deliberately try to change this situation and could only let nature take its course.
However, in Liu Xin's impression, Huang Chengyan should be a relatively open-minded person. Unexpectedly, he also had such thoughts. She couldn't help but look him up and down for a long time, and then said: "Liu heard the gentleman from the academy say many times, Miss Yueying
She is very good. It would be a pity to let her give up her studies like this. Anyway, Yueying is still young now, so let's continue studying in the academy for a few more years."
Huang Chengyan was now very confused about whether his daughter should continue her studies. After listening to Liu Xin's words, he felt relieved and said, "Everything depends on your orders. The common people will go back home and listen to Yueying's lectures."
Liu Xin also smiled and waved her hand, and said: "With your great talent, the first principal of Miannan Academy is none other than Mr. Li. Five years from now, I hope that Miannan Academy under your leadership will be able to send more students to the academy."
Excellent student.”
Back in the backyard, Liu Xin told Ma Yun Huang Chengyan's purpose of coming today. Ma Yun suddenly felt bright and said: "Husband, I have an idea to set up a girls' academy in Chang'an so that all the smartest girls in the world can study.
Read and learn.”
Liu Xin laughed and said: "You have a good idea. Then set up Chang'an Girls' School. Then you will be the first principal and let Zhaoji and the others become teachers. Our daughter will also have a few more friends by then.
Already."
Ma Yun rolled her eyes at Liu Xin and said: "You know how to exploit us women, do you think I can still give lectures like this? There is definitely no hope this year. When you dominate the world, I will pay more attention to my words and deeds."
, I can’t be the principal. However, I always feel a little uneasy. I’m afraid something might happen when I go to Chang’an this time.”
Liu Xin suddenly stopped smiling and said seriously: "In the past few days, I have figured out that life should be more comfortable. Now I can be regarded as occupying most of the world, with strong soldiers and horses, and the people are also determined. The right time, the right place, the right people, and everything.
, there is absolutely no need to play tricks, I have already decided that as soon as I arrive in Chang'an City, I will directly declare my accession to the throne and proclaim myself emperor!"
Ma Yun was taken aback and said repeatedly: "Haven't Jushou and the others already made arrangements? By then, people from all walks of life will come out to persuade them to join. Will you catch everyone off guard by directly announcing the news of proclaiming the emperor? And you behave like this.
Will it affect your reputation among those noble families?"
Liu Xin sneered and said: "Those gentry families are most concerned about the interests of their own families. Even people like Huang Chengyan would not hesitate to put down their bodies and come to me for the benefit of the family. Therefore, for those gentry families, reputation is only superficial.
The most important thing is the interests. Besides, in the future, the Han Dynasty will definitely not be able to rely on these noble families. I am trying every means to gradually weaken their power, so there is no need to care about their opinions."
The current situation is different from when Liu Xin first arrived in Xiangyang. In the entire Han Dynasty, except for Liu Xin, there are only two princes, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao. If Liu Xin wants to dominate the world, he will inevitably have a fierce battle with these two.
Yuan and Cao each control a puppet emperor. As long as Liu Xin uses troops against them, they can declare to the outside world that Liu Xin is conspiring to rebel at any time, thereby occupying a moral high ground. The best way to solve this dilemma is
It means that Liu Xin proclaims himself emperor or, like Cao and Yuan, he supports a puppet emperor. Since it is a choice between the two, Liu Xin of course decides to proclaim himself emperor.
Under this situation, the strategy of "building walls high, accumulating grain widely, and becoming king slowly" could no longer adapt to the development of the situation. Therefore, Ma Yun also supported Liu Xin's proclaiming himself emperor, but she did not expect it.
Liu Xinhui proclaimed himself emperor.
Ma Yun was stunned for a moment, frowned and said: "Jushou, Xu Huang and the others have been secretly preparing for this for a long time. You know this too. Now that you suddenly declare yourself emperor, will it disrupt their original plan?"
Deployment and making things more complicated? I think it’s better to talk to them first.”
Liu Xin suddenly took out a Dahan Express from behind his back, shook it in front of Ma Yun, and said: "Yes, they have been carrying out this matter secretly. But, do you think it is such a big thing and involves so many people?"
Can people call it a secret? Look at the Dahan Express, which published many articles urging people to advance, including Qiao Xuan’s appeal.”
Ma Yun hesitated and said: "Husband, are you worried that someone will cause trouble in the ceremony prepared by Jushou and the others?"
Liu Xin nodded and said: "I'm sure that no matter how good I am, there will still be many people who don't want me to ascend the throne and become emperor. Moreover, I very much believe in your sixth sense. Since you think something will happen,
Then I believe that this accident is very likely to happen. If my guess is correct, Jushu and their arrangements have been noticed by people with ulterior motives, and they are likely to cause trouble during the enthronement ceremony."
Ma Yun suddenly laughed and said: "I think you are too cautious. Even if they object to you becoming emperor, what harm can they do? By then, the surroundings will be tightly controlled, and things like bows and crossbows will not be allowed.
It may appear at the scene, and there are no bombs in this era, so safety should not be a problem."
Liu Xin shook his head and said: "Of course I don't have to worry about safety issues. What I worry about is that some people will regard themselves as loyal ministers of the Han Dynasty. If they commit suicide and die for the country during the ceremony, wouldn't it ruin everyone's good mood?
"
After a pause, Liu Xin said again: "I want to take things by surprise this time and make these people's carefully prepared plans useless."
Ma Yun thought for a while and said with a smile: "In this case, I'm afraid Ju Shou's preparations will be of no use."
Liu Xin also smiled and said: "You can't say that. At least Jushou and the others continue to prepare and can attract the attention of these people. It will be smoother for me."
Ma Yun also felt relieved and said: "It's just that Jushou and the others have suffered so much. You are still keeping them in the dark. All your busy work is in vain."
"Actually, I didn't hide it from them deliberately. If you hadn't said that you felt a little uneasy, I wouldn't have made this temporary change." Liu Xin waved her hand and said, "Let's not talk about this anymore. I will adapt to the situation when the time comes. By the way,
How is the little guy Liu Bang doing now? Can you take some time to bring him to your house for two days?"
Even though Liu Bei was dead, the people responsible for monitoring Liu Bang still did not relax at all. Every morning and afternoon, Liu Xin would receive secret reports from the phantom. Therefore, Liu Xin's words were simply asking questions knowingly.
Although Liu Bang is the "eldest son" of Liu Xin and Ma Yun, in terms of close relationship, the "parents" Liu Xin and Ma Yun are far inferior to Liu Bei in Liu Bang's eyes. Therefore, when the news of Liu Bei's death spread,
When he arrived in Xiangyang, Liu Bang cried a lot and is still in a trance. When Liu Xin saw this report, she was even more sure that she had done the right thing by attacking Liu Bei as early as possible.
Although Liu Bang is still just a child, it is very helpless for him to be involved in political struggles and get hurt. But after more than ten years, Liu Xin has become extremely determined. If Liu Bang is his biological son
, naturally it was another matter, but Liu Bang was not his son at all, so Liu Xin did not hesitate at all. People who do big things cannot be their mother-in-law.
But Ma Yun is a woman after all, and the mother of two children, with a third child about to be born. After learning about Liu Bang's situation, her overflowing motherly love made Ma Yun feel a little unbearable for Liu Bang's experience. Therefore, Liu Xin suggested
Taking Liu Bang to live in the house for a few days was just to take care of Ma Yun.
Ma Yun lowered her head and thought for a while, then said: "Liu Bang is actually like a piece of white paper, but it was stained by Liu Bei. No matter whose child he is, he is not at fault. In fact, people are also to blame.
If we had cared more about him when he was first rescued, maybe he wouldn't have been so close to Liu Bei. Why don't we just listen to you and take him into the house and move him to
Just let him go with us when we get to Chang'an, so we can have someone to take care of us."
As Liu Zhong, his daughter, and son-in-law passed away one after another, the secret of Liu Bang's life experience was completely brought into the coffin. No matter how powerful the phantom secret agent was, there was no way to find out that Liu Bang was actually Liu Zhong's grandson.
Liu Xin and Ma Yun had always thought that Liu Bang was just an orphan that Liu Zhong found from somewhere. It was really pitiful to think that he was forced to leave his parents just after he was born. So Liu Xin nodded,
