It was normal for Wei Lian to have such thoughts. His son had read poetry and books, but on a cold day, Liu Xin stripped him naked in front of everyone. His fiancée was even present, and then he was forced to agree to quit.
Dear, no one can bear such humiliation. In modern medical terms, Wei Zhongdao suddenly became seriously ill because of a double physical and psychological blow. The culprit of all this was Liu Xin.
But it's not that easy to deal with Liu Xin. After all, he is the shepherd of Jingzhou and holds a high position. No one can easily touch him except the current emperor. Although the Wei family is one of the largest families in the world, they cannot easily control the emperor.
thoughts, not to mention that no one from the Wei family currently holds important positions in the court. If you want to deal with Liu Xin and avenge him, you can only rely on the help of others.
Wei Lian immediately took action. On the one hand, he used the Wei family's shops in various places to collect accusations against Liu Xin. On the other hand, he frequently visited the noble officials with whom he was usually friends. Within a few days, someone jumped out to impeach Liu Xin.
This person's name is Cui Yan, he is a famous scholar, and he is very famous. Because of his famous reputation, Liu Hong has prepared to let him take over the position of Situ. Situ is one of the three princes, second only to the general. His status is quite high and he can often enter the army.
Palace face saint. The Cui family and the Wei family have always been on good terms. Cui Yan had a good impression of Wei Zhongdao. Now after listening to Wei Lian's words, he suddenly felt that Liu Xin was a heinous person, so he wrote a memorial and listed Liu Xin.
He is accused of the four major crimes, impeaching him for indulging in human life, raping women, marrying bad people, and oppressing good people. Please ask the emperor to remove him from office and hold him accountable.
At this time, the Yellow Turban Rebellion had just been put down, and Liu Hong was still immersed in the joy of victory. Most of the memorials presented by the ministers were praising his virtues. When he suddenly saw such a memorial, Liu Hong was not happy and asked someone to find Cui Yan.
He came and asked: "Cui Aiqing, who is paying you this month's salary?"
Cui Yan didn't know why, so he replied: "Of course it was sent by the emperor."
Liu Hong said: "You are about to be promoted to Situ. You should also know something about the taxation situation of the imperial court. I wonder how the tax payment situation in various places is this year?"
Cui Yan thought to himself, why did he only ask about money, but he didn't dare not answer, and said: "Back to the emperor, this year the governors of various places have issued memorials stating that they have been harmed by the Yellow Turbans and have no tax revenue. Please ask the court for sympathy."
Liu Hong sneered and said: "If you can't collect taxes, how can I give you salaries? If Liu Xin hadn't paid a tax in time, you would all have gone to the northwest. In this way, you will impeach Liu Xin. I will
I don’t blame you, you are going to be Situ soon, so you have to pay some money.”
In the past, Liu Hong's targets for selling officials were mainly local officials at all levels, and he rarely sold officials from the capital for public sale. As soon as he said this, Cui Yan was so frightened that his calves went weak. He knew that Liu Hong had a dark heart.
Situ's position will cost at least 20 million yuan, so what should we do?
Seeing that Cui Yan was silent, Liu Hong also knew that although Cui Yan had family assets, he was not yet rich, so he said very considerately: "Okay, you don't need to think too much. I know you have difficulties, so just pay me five
Millions of dollars. From now on, every Beijing official who takes office or gets promoted will also have to pay money."
Liu Hong watched Cui Yan leave the hall listlessly, with a smile on his face, and said to Zhang Rang beside him: "Father, look, isn't this another profit? This Liu Xin is really interesting, I can do it in the future
I can safely hand over Jingzhou to him."
Although Zhang Rang didn't quite understand what Liu Hong meant by this, he still said flatteringly: "Your Majesty is wise."
Although Liu Hong was wicked and unscrupulous and loved money as much as his life, he was actually not stupid. As soon as Wang Meiren died, he suspected that Queen He was the murderer, but he suffered from the lack of evidence and could not punish her. Liu Xin and Liu Yan were separated.
When he took up the post of Prefectural Shepherd, it was said that these two people were both Han clan clan members, but Liu Hong was not very confident about them. So last time Liu Xin said that he hoped to get a house in Luoyang City to show that he had no ambitions.
Hong was very happy. Now Cui Yan's four major crimes against Liu Xin were in line with Liu Hong's wishes. These crimes showed that Liu Xin was also a person of bad character. Such a person would not threaten his throne.
Only when someone like this uses it can he feel more at ease. Cui Yan never imagined that his memorial would be self-defeating and produce such an effect.
Liu Xin didn't know about these things that happened in the court. His phantom secret agent had just extended its tentacles into Luoyang, and there was still a long way to go before they could break into the palace. The same goes for Mo Xiangzhai's branch in Luoyang.
It has just opened, and it has just gained some fame among the aristocratic families in the capital. The source of news has not been opened, and it is of no use yet.
However, Liu Xin's current focus is not on the capital, because he knows very well that it will be more than four years before Liu Hong passes away, and there is still time to do anything now. He has plenty of time.
The last batch of official residences have been completed, including his state pastoral residence. All Liu Xin's cronies have moved into their new homes. The roads here are spacious and clean, and the streets and alleys are guarded by flying tiger guards. All the houses are made of bricks
The stone structure can minimize the losses caused by fire. The houses are carefully designed, very much in the style of Jiangnan gardens. The roofs are all in the form of traditional Chinese cornices, which are warm in winter and cool in summer.
Liu Xin's family also moved into the new Zhoufu Mansion, which is located in the southeast of Xiangyang New City. It occupies a very large area and is half the size of the original Zhoufu Mansion. Moving is actually very simple, because there are all kinds of things in the new mansion.
The household items are all complete, and even the maids and slaves have been added a lot. All you need to do is pack up a few things and bring them over to move in.
As the Prefectural Mufu's Palace got bigger, she, Bian Yu, and Zhu Qian no longer had to live in the same courtyard. Ma Yun's courtyard was the largest and had an independent small garden. She was surprised to find that there was a flower in the corner of the small garden.
A small door. During the construction process, Ma Yun came to see it many times, especially her own courtyard. She looked at it more carefully. After all, this was their first residence in the true sense after they came to the Eastern Han Dynasty.
Ma Yun was sure that this door was no longer there. She turned to look at Liu Xin, who had been following her. She saw Liu Xin staring at the door with a smile. Ma Yun couldn't help but ask: "Husband, what about that door?"
What's going on with the door on the side? Why didn't I know?"
Liu Xin smiled and said, "Want to know? Then just push it away and have a look."
Ma Yun gently pushed open the door and was stunned by the sight in front of her. In front of her was a small courtyard surrounded by iron fences. In the middle of the courtyard was a straight path paved with cobblestones. At the end of the path stood an impressive
A two-story bungalow! This bungalow completely imitates the modern villa style. It has a living room, study room, bedroom, kitchen, dining room, and bathroom. The furniture in the house is also all in modern style. Although it is built in a modern style, in fact
Many places are different from modern villas. For example, the kitchen is just a decoration because there is no fire at all, while the bathroom has a toilet and a bidet.
When she came to the backyard, Ma Yun was even more surprised. There was even a swimming pool built there. Ma Yun once told Liu Xin that her favorite sport was swimming, but after coming here, she could no longer find a suitable place for her.
She showed off her heroic deeds. Unexpectedly, this guy kept her in mind and actually built a swimming pool for her.
Seeing that Ma Yun's tears were already welling up in her eyes, Liu Xin gently held her waist and said, "Honey, why are you crying? Are you homesick?"
Ma Yun couldn't bear it any longer, tears flowed down her face, and she cried on Liu Xin's shoulder.
Liu Xin wiped her tears and said: "Okay, don't be sad. It has been two and a half years since we came here. We can never go back to the past and can only face reality. This house is my gift to you."
A New Year's gift is a memory of our past world. How do you like it? Do you like this gift?"
In fact, Liu Xin's original idea was to build a three-story house, but he was worried that the construction technology at this time was not up to standard, so he changed it to a two-story house. Liu Xin quietly let people build this house. The craftsmen did not
He didn't understand why Liu Xin wanted to build such a house that was neither good-looking nor practical. Liu Xin didn't bother to explain, so he brought out the golden-armored god again, and only said that the golden-armored god asked him to build this house in a dream.
Everyone who followed Liu Xin in Hejian had heard the story of the golden-armored god. The style and structure of this house were indeed unprecedented, so the craftsmen believed it and couldn't help but have an infinite fascination with this house.
Awe.
Liu Xin does not just regard this house as a memory of the past world. Now this house is also a place where he collects secrets. Some of the items they brought from another world are hidden in a large box under the bed in the master bedroom on the second floor.
.Except for Xiu'er and Ling'er sisters who are responsible for daily cleaning, no one else is allowed in here, including Bian Yu and Zhu Qian.
Ma Yun finally broke through her tears and smiled. With a "boo" sound, she kissed Liu Xin on the face and said softly: "Husband, you are so good to me."
Liu Xin gently stroked Ma Yun's slightly bulging belly and said, "Honey, let me discuss something with you again. I want this child to have your last name."
Ma Yun looked at Liu Xin and said in surprise: "My last name? You want this child to be named Ma?"
Liu Xin smiled and nodded. He had had this idea for a long time. In Liu Xin's view, the name is just a symbol, and the surname Liu and Ma are not important. He and Ma Yun traveled to the Han Dynasty, and Liu Xin didn't care.
He was originally a loner. But Ma Yun was different. Uncle Ma only had one daughter, so he was very anxious now. He gave the child the surname Ma as an explanation to Uncle Ma.
Ma Yun nestled in Liu Xin's arms. Liu Xin thought of everything for her. She felt so happy. Looking at everything incredible in front of her, Ma Yun's thoughts gradually returned to the past. She was once a person with ideals and ambitions.
As an ambitious young man, caring for a husband and raising children was not the life she wanted. She suddenly said to Liu Xin: "Husband, I want to ask you one more thing."
