Liu Hong saw Liu Tao's memorial and was even more unhappy, so he discussed the matter with Zhang Rang and others.
"The emperor, the old slave thought that this horn is a small people's ear, don't care about him. Liu Xin, the prefect of the river, is a descendant of the Han family, who is a descendant of Liu, who lives in the nest. The same is the same as the prefects of the counties. All were ineffectively handled, but Liu Xin was the only one who managed the river in an orderly manner, which should be greatly praised."
Zhang Jiao has nothing to do with Zhang Rang, and Zhang Rang will naturally not speak for him. Liu Xin has much respect for Zhang Rang, and Zhang Rang also has a good impression of Liu Xin. And last time in Juchao, Zhang Rang received a generous gift from Liu Zhong and promised Liu Zhong one thing, so he wanted to take this opportunity to help Liu Zhong handle it.
"I remember, Liu Xin copied the home of a criminal official last year, and also sent me all the money and money he found. It is indeed commendable for his loyalty, as if he is still my cousin." Liu Hong said thoughtfully. .
Zhang Rang struck while the iron was hot and said: "What the emperor said. There is still something to be told by the slave. There is no queen in the nest. Liu Xin has a young son, Liu Bin, who is a filial piety. Now he has adopted Liu Zhong and was adopted by Liu Zhong. Sun. The slave thought that your Majesty could decree Liu Bin to be the first son of Juchao Houhou, and also give Liu Xin a commendation as a reward. Please your Majesty's approval."
Liu Hong listened to Zhang Rang's words, and thought for a while. It would cost a lot less tax to seal a Hou out that year. This was not enough, so he muttered, "This... If this is the case, he decreed that Liu Bin should be appointed as Juchao Houhou. Shizi, as for Liu Xin... don’t give him a prince, isn’t there no commendation for this role. Let’s just leave it alone. Anyway, Liu Bang is also his son. Now it’s a special case to let him be the prince. Purpose."
The emperor Jinkouyu said that this is equivalent to the imperial edict, Zhang Rang did not dare to say anything, so he passed the edict to Liu Zhong and Liu Xin separately, and told the officials to know. Liu Zhong was naturally overjoyed when he received the imperial decree, but Liu Xin was dumbfounded.
To be honest, Liu Xin had already forgotten that he still had Liu Bin as a "son". Only Liu Zhong and Zhang Rang knew about it. In fact, this Liu Bin is Liu Zhong's grandson, so Liu Zhong's daughter. , Son-in-law also knows. Now the imperial decree, the ruling and the opposition know, there are different opinions. Some people think that Liu Xin helped this uncle to renew the incense and his filial piety is commendable. Others think that the emperor is too tolerant to his family and should be succeeded by Liu Xin.
Ma Yun coaxed her son and said angrily: "This Liu Zhong is really a villain. I knew that all taxes in a county belonged to Lord Hou. Who would want to come to Hejian to be a prefect. He was good, but we finally got what we wanted. There is no reward."
Liu Xin stretched out a finger, teasing his son’s little hand, and said: “Forget it, I sincerely hope that the people in Hejian will have a good life. He rewards or not rewards. I still don’t care, as long as you and your children are safe. All right."
Seeing her son's little hand gripping Liu Xin's finger tightly, he was giggling at Liu Xin, Ma Yun couldn't help but said in jealousy: "After all, I kissed Lao Tzu. I worked so hard to give birth to him every day. Feeding him milk, I don’t see him smiling like this."
Liu Xin laughed and said: "There are two parents who are jealous for their son. In fact, it has been more than two months since the birth of the son. You don't want me to take this name, so you can't keep on dragging it."
Ma Yun whitened him and said, "I thought about the name a long time ago. I wanted to discuss it with you, but you never met."
It turned out that Liu Xin was really busy during this time, and even his son did not come back for a full moon. This year, the summer harvest will be reduced, and the autumn harvest will be hopeless. The people in all counties are waiting to help. Although the refugees in the surrounding counties have returned to their hometowns one after another, the places where they once lived must be handled with care to prevent the epidemic from spreading. Not long ago, Tian Feng and Ju Shou were exhausted one after another. Liu Xin had to go to the battle in person. It was only recently that the two of them fully recovered, and there were fewer things in various places than before, and Liu Xin gradually took off.
Ma Yun continued: "My son needs to be knowledgeable and educated, and he needs to be upright, his name is Liu Wenzheng."
Liu Xin said unhappily: "Do you think that I am a thief? I haven't graduated from elementary school. Moreover, the names of the children are all one word, so you still come up with two words."
Ma Yun blushed and said, "You, what a heart, even if you are a thief, I am not married to you yet. I am getting a character for the child, and I haven't thought about the name yet."
Liu Xin was also embarrassed for her careful eyes: "Whoever takes the word at one year old. In fact, when we came to this world, your original idea was to let me rely on my own labor to support my family. Our children only need to have enough food and clothing. That's enough, how about just calling Liu Yu?"
Ma Yun nodded and said: "Liu Yu, Liu Yu, it's not bad, then it's better to call Liu Yu, but the word Wenzheng can depend on me."
In fact, Liu Xin and Ma Yun came together by accident and inevitable. Ma Yun had been secretly in love with Liu Xin for many years, and she was a stronger girl. She suddenly came to this age of inferior men and women, and asked her to marry another man to be a little woman. She might never be able to adapt to this kind of life. For Liu Xin, of course there is a lot of choice, but there is really no way to find a second one except Ma Yun who can have a common language with him. It's just that neither of them thought that the child would come so quickly, thinking that they would not be able to give birth to a child for several years.
Liu Xin looked at her sleeping son, and she was worried about Ma Yun when she said that she had been pregnant for her, because in this age of extremely backward medical conditions, having a baby is indeed a very dangerous thing, especially for those who have already Modern people who are accustomed to having an abdomen, and when they have their first child. When he knew that Liu Xin was pretending to be excited before him, Ma Yun's tears couldn't stop streaming down. Worry and love are always twins. Because of worry, love can be more manifested. From this moment, she really felt Liu Xin's deep love.
The couple hugged each other very naturally, and finally met back. Apart from discussing the name of their son, it was natural to have some affection, and there was another ear-beating moan from the room...
Julu's Zhang Jiao was very annoyed, and he summoned Zhang Bao, Zhang Liang and some of his cronies to discuss.
"Big brother, this emperor is really stupid. That Liu Xin helped the victims of a county, as it should be, his son even sealed the marquis, and the eldest brother saved the people of the four states, but did not give the slightest praise. There is really no sense of heaven!" Zhang Bao has a grumpy temper. The first one jumped out.
"What kind of thing is Liu Xin, who has fought his eldest brother over and over again and again, this time he dared to steal the limelight from his eldest brother. Let's start the matter immediately and take him first!" Zhang Liang was also uncomfortable.
"I also ask the master to stay calm. Ma once heard that Liu Xin and Zhang Rang had a very close friendship. This dog emperor favored the eunuch, and it must be Zhang Rang who spoke for him in front of the emperor. Now the master wants to plot big things. , You should also make friends with the eunuchs as an internal correspondent.” This speaker is also a close friend of Zhang Jiao, whose surname is Ma and his name is Yuanyi, and he is a generous Qu commander.
"Yuanyi's words are reasonable. You try to send someone to the capital to bribe the regular servants in the capital to serve as a backup. If things succeed, you should remember your first work." Zhang Jiao thought for a moment and decided to let Ma Yuanyi go to Beijing for transportation. party.
If Liu Xin heard Zhang Jiao's comments, she would have been wronged. He and Zhang Rang have only met once, so how come they have such a deep friendship? Why don't you give gifts to Zhang Rang every year? How many local officials don't give gifts to Zhang Rang
Of course, Liu Xin didn't know that both the court officials and the Taiping Taoists put himself in a party of castration. He is now busy preparing for his son Liu Yu to hold a banquet on this day. There is no celebration at the full moon, so the Hundred Days will naturally be a lot of fun. Not only Tian Feng, Jushou, and his six brothers, but also officials from the Hejian area such as Zhang Jun, Wang Lei, and Chen Jin, the county magistrates, and the gentry and clans of the entire county were invited.
Naturally, those who were invited felt bright and gave Liu Xin generous gifts one after another. Many people who have not been invited but feel that they have a certain identity and status, after learning the news, began to trust the relationship, walk around, and try to squeeze into the ranks of gift-giving.
Zhang Jiao also has a lot of eyeliner in Hejian, and Liu Xin was not able to escape their eyes when Liu Xin was having a banquet this time. Therefore, Zhang Jiao also sent a gift. Zhang Jiao's relationship with Liu Xin is relatively subtle now. Of course Liu Xin knows the details of Zhang Jiao, and Zhang Jiao already understands this. He needs to maintain his current state with Liu Xin to ensure that he will not ruin his own major events.
Seeing the gift sent by Zhang Jiao, Liu Xin could not sit still. Now that Ma Yun has given birth to a child, there is no need to worry about affecting her emotions. This matter can be discussed with her: "Wife, now It’s already October, and the Yellow Turban uprising will happen in February next year. Zhang Jiao is now sending someone to send gifts. What is his idea?"
Ma Yun thought for a while and said, "He must be trying to stabilize you. Alas, when the war is going on, I don't know how many people will be devastated, and how many will have their families destroyed. I just hope that my son and I can survive this catastrophe safely."
Liu Xin couldn't help but laughed: "What is there to worry about. My six brothers, none of them are brave champions. Now the city defense in Hejian has also been renovated. You and I can tell the prophet again. No matter how powerful he is, the Yellow Turban Army I don’t want to be pleased in the river."
Ma Yun gave him a push and said, "I'm not just worried about our mother and son. The common people are not the ones who suffer in the war. You always take care of the common people, so why don't you want to find a way to prevent the Yellow Turban uprising from happening? I remember. It seems that no major disasters occurred in the next few years. Without the Yellow Turban Uprising, the people would still be able to live a peaceful life for a few years."
Liu Xin couldn't help but smiled: "Do you think we can change history?"
Ma Yun gave him a white look: "Have you not changed history? Without you, Li Cheng's uncle and nephew must be alive and well, and Liu Zhong's title may be taken back soon. Have you planned for the future? ?"
