Chapter 412: Wedding Date
Actually, this was not to say that everyone didn't care about status.
With Liu Bian's current majesty, who would dare to oppose the decision he made.
Moreover, since Liu Bian personally selected Diao Chan as the Empress, there must be a reason.
They didn't think their judgment was better than Liu Bian's.
You must know that the talents appointed by Liu Bian, such as Zhang Liao, Guo Jia, Xi Zhicai, and others,
which one of them was not a talented and capable person?
After thinking for a moment, Liu Bian understood the reason.
"That's good. Since you don't object, then it is settled. This matter will be handled by you three: Wenruo, Old Minister Wang, and Minister Cai."
Liu Bian said to Xun Yu, Wang Yun, and Cai Yong.
This time, for the sake of the wedding, Liu Bian specially called Cai Yong over.
"Your humble servant obeys the decree!"
The three heard this and responded respectfully.
This was organizing a wedding for the Emperor; this was supreme glory, so the three accepted it happily.
However, Cai Yong's face was vaguely regretful.
He couldn't help but secretly think: "Daughter! It seems this Empress position is not meant for you!"
"However, that Imperial Concubine position, Father must fight for you no matter what!"
Thinking of this, Cai Yong couldn't help but reveal a look of determination.
However, how to open this mouth to Liu Bian was also a great art.
After all, Liu Bian was not a lustful emperor, so how to express it implicitly to Liu Bian was very important.
Otherwise, if it didn't go well, it would be counterproductive, and then it would be impossible to explain.
"Your Majesty, this old minister has a matter to ask for your grace?"
While his thoughts were turning, Cai Yong thought of a way and immediately opened his mouth to Liu Bian.
Seeing that it was Cai Yong who spoke, Liu Bian was also surprised for a moment.
One must know that Cai Yong, as a renowned great Confucian scholar of the late Han, was also a calligrapher and a master of rhapsodies.
He even created the "Feibai Style" in calligraphy, which influenced thousands of years of later generations.
He was upright and did not fear power, so he was truly curious about what he could ask for.
And at this time, others were also staring at Cai Yong with curiosity. Everyone knew Cai Yong's character very well.
Being able to make him show such an expression, the matter must be unusual, so everyone was also a bit curious.
Seeing everyone's eyes on him, Cai Yong's old face also flushed with embarrassment, and he said to Liu Bian stammeringly:
"Your Majesty, it is... it is that this old minister's daughter has admired Your Majesty for a long time and wants to see Your Majesty."
After speaking, he lowered his head, not daring to look at Liu Bian.
Hearing this, Liu Bian was a bit surprised. He didn't think Cai Yong had any other thoughts.
For Cai Yong, he was upright all his life and would not do anything to harm others.
As for Cai Yong's words, not only Liu Bian was surprised, but Xun Yu and the others were also a bit surprised.
However, the experienced Wang Yun and Lu Zhi immediately guessed the meaning.
"This old fox, actually wants to play this trick!"
Looking at Cai Yong's embarrassed expression, the two looked at each other and cursed in their hearts at the same time.
Admiring His Majesty, why didn't you say it at other times, but had to wait until His Majesty finished talking about the wedding?
However, Liu Bian and young people like Xun Yu didn't think so much.
After all, Cai Yong's daughter was the famous talented woman of the late Han and Three Kingdoms, Cai Wenji. Being admired by her, Liu Bian was still very proud.
It was just that thinking of Cai Wenji's miserable life, Liu Bian couldn't help but feel regretful!
"However, with my appearance, these shouldn't happen anymore."
After secretly saying this in his heart, Liu Bian said to Cai Yong:
"Minister Cai, since your daughter wants to see me, then let her come to the palace tomorrow. At that time, tell her to come and accompany Diao Chan more often."
"Moreover, I have long heard that your daughter is a famous talented woman of our Han, and I also want to see her."
After speaking, Liu Bian said to Dian Wei, the commander of the Huben Army guarding the imperial palace:
"E'lai, tomorrow when you see Minister Cai's daughter, bring her to see me."
Liu Bian decided to see this great talented woman; after all, he was also very curious about Cai Yan.
Cai Yong, seeing Liu Bian agree to see Cai Yan, was also overjoyed and thanked Liu Bian gratefully:
"This old minister thanks Your Majesty!"
And Dian Wei, after hearing Liu Bian's decree, also bowed respectfully:
"This general obeys the decree!"
"All of you, I have one more thing to tell you."
After solving Cai Yong's matter, Liu Bian said to everyone again.
Liu Bian looked at everyone majestically and continued:
"I intend, on the occasion of my wedding, to call the marquises of the world to come to the capital to pay homage. What do you think of this idea?"
As Liu Bian's voice fell, Guo Jia, Jia Xu, and Xun Yu, the important strategists of Liu Bian, all looked at Liu Bian with admiration.
As top strategists of the late Han and Three Kingdoms period, they immediately understood Liu Bian's intention.
The three looked at Liu Bian with admiration. Subsequently, the three looked at each other, and only saw Jia Xu and Guo Jia looking at Xun Yu.
Seeing this, Xun Yu smiled helplessly and had to come out and say respectfully to Liu Bian:
"This plan of Your Majesty is wonderful. At that time, as long as they follow Your Majesty's decree and come to Luoyang to attend Your Majesty's wedding, the marquises will definitely be loyal to Your Majesty and the Han."
"Conversely, those who dare to find excuses to shirk and not come are those with other thoughts. At that time, they will be the main targets of our expedition."
At this time, after listening to Xun Yu's analysis, martial generals like Lü Bu and Dian Wei showed a look of sudden realization.
With their minds, they would never have thought that a wedding would have so many tricks.
"Wenruo's words are very true. I just want to see which of the marquises in the various parts of the Han are still loyal to me and our Han!"
After listening to Xun Yu's analysis, Liu Bian also said coldly with a face full of chill.
"Please calm your anger, Your Majesty!"
The few felt the chill radiated by Liu Bian and said respectfully to Liu Bian.
"No matter, since you all agree with this matter, then it is settled."
"I will write the imperial decree in a while. Li Liangcheng, you arrange for the personnel to deliver the decree, and you must send it to the marquises in various places at the fastest speed."
"Otherwise, if the time is delayed, I am afraid they will use this as an excuse."
The Eunuch Chief Steward Li Liangcheng heard this and responded respectfully to Liu Bian:
"This servant obeys the decree!"
Seeing this, Liu Bian nodded with satisfaction and looked at Xun Yu and the others.
"Wenruo, do you have anything else?"
"Replying to Your Majesty, your humble servant has one more matter."
Seeing this, Xun Yu responded immediately.
"Speak!"
"Replying to Your Majesty, when the reports of victory from Liang and Bing provinces were sent back, we only had people spread them, and did not issue any formal documents from the imperial court."
"So, your humble servant wants to ask Your Majesty to spread this matter throughout the Han, so that the people in various parts of the Han will know the strength of our imperial court."
Xun Yu hurriedly told Liu Bian about the victory report. ===== CHAPTER 413 =====
