It is normal for Wei Lian to have such thoughts. His son was full of poems and books, and on a cold day, Liu Xin was stripped naked in front of everyone. Even his fiancee was still on the scene, and then he was forced to quit. Dear, no one can bear such humiliation. In the words of modern medicine, Wei Zhongdao suffered a physical and psychological double blow, and this caused him to become seriously ill. The chief culprit of all this was Liu Xin.
But it is not so easy to deal with Liu Xin, after all, he is Jingzhou Mu, in 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, it cannot easily influence the emperor's thoughts. Moreover, no one in the Wei family currently holds important positions in the court. If you want to deal with Liu Xin and avenge this revenge, you can only use the power of others.
Wei Lian acted immediately. On the one hand, he used the shops around the Wei family to collect Liu Xin's crimes. On the other hand, he frequently visited the gentry officials whom he had made in his daily life. Within a few days, someone jumped out to impeach Liu Xin.
This person was named Cui Yan, he was a celebrity, and he was very famous. Because of his reputation, Liu Hong was ready to let him take over the post of Situ. Situ ranks among the three men, second only to the generals, and has a very high status, so he can often enter the palace and saints. The Cui family and the Wei family have always had a good relationship. Cui Yan had a good impression of Wei Zhongdao. Now that he heard Wei Lian’s words, he suddenly felt that Liu Xin was heinous, so he wrote a memorial listing Liu Xin’s four major crimes. , To impeach him for hasty lives, forcibly robbing people's daughters, bad people's marriages, oppressing good people, and ask the emperor to dismiss him from office.
At this time, the Yellow Turban Rebellion had just been settled, Liu Hong was still immersed in the joy of victory, and the ministers’ memorials were mostly eulogizing. Suddenly seeing such a memorial, the boss in Liu Hong’s heart was not happy, and asked someone to find Cui Yan. Come and ask: "Cui Aiqing, who made your salary this month?"
Cui Yan didn't know, so he replied: "Naturally it was sent by the emperor."
Liu Hong said: "You are about to be promoted to Situ. You should also understand the taxation situation of the imperial court. I don't know how the tax deductions are going on in various places this year?"
Cui Yan thought to himself, how could he just ask about money, but he didn't dare not answer, and said: "Going back to the emperor, this year the prefects everywhere have memorials. It is clear that the yellow scarf has been harmed and the taxation is ineffective. Please the court to be sympathetic."
Liu Hong sneered and said, "I can't collect the tax, what I will pay you. If it wasn't for Liu Xin to pay the tax in time, you can all drink the Northwest wind. Then, you impeach Liu Xin. , I don’t blame you either, you are going to be Situ soon, so let’s pay some money too."
In the past, Liu Hong’s sales of officials were mainly aimed at local officials at all levels, and Beijing officials were rarely sold out for public development. With these words, Cui Yan’s calf was weakened by fright. He knew that Liu Hong’s heart was very dark. Situ's position will cost at least 20 million yuan, how good is this
Seeing that Cui Yan didn’t speak, he also knew that although Cui Yan had family wealth, he was still not a rich man, so he said in a very considerate manner: “Okay, you don’t need to think about it. If you know you’re in trouble, just hand in five. Millions of money, every time a Beijing official takes office or gets promoted, he will also have to pay."
Liu Hong watched Cui Yan leave the hall listlessly, with a smile on his face, and said to Zhang Rang beside him: "Father, look, doesn’t this make another money? This Liu Xin is really interesting. I can do it in the future. Hand over Jingzhou to him with confidence."
Although Zhang Rang didn't quite understand what Liu Hong meant, he still said flatly: "The emperor is wise."
Although Liu Hong is desperate, and loves money like fate, he is not stupid. When Wang Meiren died that year, he was expected to be the killer of Queen He, but he suffered from the lack of evidence and could not cure her. Liu Xin and Liu Yan were appointed as state shepherds. It was said earlier that these two people were Han clan relatives, but Liu Hong was not very at ease with them. Therefore, Liu Xin said last time that he hoped to get a house in Luoyang City, showing that Liu Hong is very happy if he has no ambitions. Now Cui Yan’s impeachment of Liu Xin’s four major crimes is in line with Liu Hong’s wishes. These crimes show that Liu Xin is also a person of poor conduct. Such a person will not threaten his throne. Only such a person can use it. He was even more relieved when he got up. Even after Cui Yan was killed, he could not think that his memorial would be self-defeating and produce such an effect.
Liu Xin didn't know these things that happened in the court. His Phantom Spy has just extended its tentacles into Luoyang, and there is still a long way to go before entering the palace. The branch of Moxiangzhai in Luoyang has just opened, and it has just made some fame among the noble families in the capital. The news has not been opened, and it is not of much use for the time being.
However, Liu Xin's current focus is not on the capital either, because he knows very well that Liu Hong will return to heaven in more than four years, and he has no time to do anything. He has time.
The last batch of official residences has been completed, including his state and pastoral residence. All of Liu Xin's cronies have moved into their new homes, where the roads are spacious and clean, and the streets and lanes are guarded by flying tigers. All houses are made of masonry structure, which can minimize the loss caused by fire. The houses have been carefully designed and have the style of Jiangnan gardens. The roofs are 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 prefecture, which is located in the southeast of Xiangyang New City. It occupies an extremely large area, half the size of the original prefecture. Moving is actually very simple, because all kinds of household items in the new mansion are complete, and even the maids and servants have added a lot. You only need to tidy up some soft things and bring them over and you can move in.
The prefecture and animal husbandry mansion is big, so she and Bian Yu and Zhu Qian no longer need to live in the same courtyard. Ma Yun's courtyard is the largest, and there is also a small independent garden. She was surprised to find a small door opened in a corner of the small garden. During the construction process, Ma Yun visited many times, especially her own courtyard, she looked more carefully, after all, this is their first residence in the true sense after they came to the Eastern Han Dynasty.
Ma Yun was certain that this door was definitely gone in the past, and she turned to look at Liu Xin who had been following her. Seeing that Liu Xin was staring at the door with a smile, Ma Yun couldn't help asking: "Husband, what's the matter with the door over there? Why don't I know?"
Liu Xin smiled and said, "Want to know? Then you can just push it away and see."
Ma Yun gently opened the door, and was stunned by the sight in front of her. In front of me is a small courtyard enclosed by iron fences. In the middle of the courtyard is a straight path paved with cobblestones. At the end of the path is a two-story bungalow! This bungalow completely mimics the style of a modern villa. Inside, the living room, study, bedroom, kitchen, dining room, and bathroom are all available, and the furniture in the house is also modern in 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, but the toilet and bidet are placed in the bathroom.
When she came to the backyard, Ma Yun was even more surprised. A swimming pool was built there. Ma Yun once said to Liu Xin that her favorite sport is swimming, but after coming here, she can't find a suitable place for her to show her heroism. Unexpectedly, this guy kept in mind and really built a swimming pool for her.
Seeing Ma Yun's tears rolling in her eyes, Liu Xin gently embraced her slender waist and said, "My wife, why are you crying? Are you homesick?"
Ma Yun couldn't help it anymore, tears shed on the ground, and she fell on Liu Xin's shoulder and started crying.
Liu Xin wiped her tears and said, "Okay, don't be sad. It's been two and a half years since we have been here. We can never go back to the past. We can only face reality. This house is just as I gave you. A New Year’s gift can be regarded as a memory of our past world. How about, do you like this gift?"
In fact, Liu Xin's original idea was to build a three-story bungalow, but he was worried that the construction technology at this time was not enough, so he changed the original to two-story. This house was quietly built by Liu Xin. The craftsmen did not understand why Liu Xin wanted to build such an unsightly and impractical house. Liu Xin was too lazy to explain, so he carried out the golden armored god man, only that the house was built by the golden armored god man entrusted him to build it. Anyone who has followed Liu Xin in Hejian has heard of the story of the Golden Armor God Man. The style and structure of this house are indeed unprecedented, and the craftsmen believe it, and they can’t help but give birth to infinite lives in this house. In awe.
Liu Xin didn't just treat this house as a memory of the past world. Now this house is still his secret collection. Some of the items they brought from another world are hidden in a big box under the bed in the master bedroom on the second floor. Except sisters Xiu'er and Ling'er who are responsible for daily cleaning, no one else is allowed in here, including Bian Yu and Zhu Qian.
Ma Yun finally burst into laughter, and gave Liu Xin a kiss on the face with a "bo", and said softly, "Husband, you are so kind to me."
Liu Xin stroked Ma Yun's slightly raised belly, and said, "My wife, I'll discuss something with you. I want this child to have your last name."
Ma Yun looked at Liu Xin and said in surprise: "Tell me the last name? You said this child should be named Ma
Liu Xin smiled and nodded. He has had this idea for a long time. In Liu Xin's view, the name is just a symbol, and the surname Liu and Ma is not important. He and Ma Yun traveled to the Han Dynasty, Liu Xin didn't care, he was originally a lonely family member. But Ma Yun is different. Uncle Ma only has this daughter. Now I don't know how anxious he is. He let his child be named 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. Seeing the incredible things in front of her, Ma Yun's thoughts gradually returned to the past. She was once a good young man with ideals and aspirations. Her husband and son were not the life she wanted. She suddenly said to Liu Xin: "Husband , I beg you one more thing."
