After Jia Xu and Xunyou left, Liu Zhang sat alone in the room in a daze.
He didn't understand what Xun You meant, so he just chose to pretend to be dumbfounded. Fortunately, Jia Xu stopped Xun You, otherwise he wouldn't have known how it would end!
If you ask Liu Zhang if he likes Princess Wannian, Liu Zhang will definitely like her!
Same style as big stars! Who does not like? Any man will like it.
If Liu Zhang were asked if he wanted to get Princess Wannian, Liu Zhang would not have such a strong desire. There are so many beauties in the world, do you want to fall in love with them all?
As a time traveler in the 21st century, Liu Zhang does not have such a strong desire for a harem. What he cares about most is feelings!
But if you ask Liu Zhang if he regrets it later, Liu Zhang will definitely hesitate!
Liu Zhang never expected that Princess Wannian would be so highly valued by Liu Hong! Maybe if you marry the Wannian Princess, you will get a death-free gold medal!
This time Xun You not only brought him news about ginseng, but also brought him the identity and status of Princess Wannian!
The ginseng passed down by Liu Bang! The sacred objects that Liu Hong regarded as Guo Zuo were actually given to his beloved princess by Liu Hong!
Thinking of this, Liu Zhang smiled somewhat self-deprecatingly. After all, I am acting emotionally!
If it were someone like Cao Cao or Liu Bei, he would probably kick Cai Yan aside right away!
Although Liu Zhang has already rejected Liu Hong's offer of marriage, if Liu Zhang is asked to lick his face again and ask Liu Hong to marry his daughter to him, Liu Zhang will definitely not be embarrassed at all, and he will definitely feel relieved!
Liu Zhang was not afraid that Cai Yan would not agree with him to marry another wife. After all, women's status was low now, and it was very normal to have three wives and four concubines.
What troubled Liu Zhang most was the position of his head wife.
Princess Liu Yun of Ten Thousand Years, if Liu Zhang wanted to marry her, then there would be no need to think about it, the first wife must be the princess!
If the princess is allowed to be a concubine, where will the royal family's face be placed?
If Liu Zhang dared to ask Liu Hong to marry Princess Wannian as his concubine, Liu Hong might chop off his head in a rage.
Where is Cai Yan? Cai Yan is the daughter of Cai Yong, a lady of the family, and Liu Zhang’s childhood sweetheart! Her mind and vision are far better than those of ordinary women.
Liu Zhang was completely in love with Cai Yan, the kind of unforgettable love.
Liu Zhang can no longer remember how many love words he said to Cai Yan, how many vows he made, and how many times he said he only loved one person in his life!
Now let Liu Zhang tell Cai Yan that he wants to marry a princess, and Cai Yan can only be his concubine?
Liu Zhang couldn't help laughing when he thought of this. How ridiculous? What a shameless person must be to say this!
"Lord? Are you in there?"
Just when Liu Zhang was in a dilemma, Jia Xu's voice came from outside.
"Oh! Wen He, please come in."
"Lord!"
Jia Xu pushed open the door and entered, bowing his hands to Liu Zhang.
Liu Zhang nodded, not expecting that Jia Xu would leave and come back.
"Wenhe, sit down!"
"My lord must have understood what Gongda meant. Is your lord in a dilemma about how to handle this matter?"
After Jia Xu sat down, he didn't say any nonsense and went straight to the topic.
"Yes, Wen He is indeed Wen He, he can see through my mind at a glance."
Compared to Xun You, Liu Zhang preferred to get along with Jia Xu. This guy was so smart that sometimes he could understand his troubles just by sighing to himself.
Jia Xu did not feel complacent because of Liu Zhang's praise, but instead bowed his hands to Liu Zhang.
"My lord, please forgive me for being rude. You are so indecisive and you don't look like a hero at all!"
"Wen He, you are my confidant. If you have anything to say, it doesn't matter!"
Liu Zhang was confused and wanted to hear Jia Xu's views and even criticism.
"My lord, do you know that women are like clothes, and you should not hesitate to throw them away? A man should put the great cause of the world first, how can he be limited to the love of his children? From ancient times to the present, how many great causes have been ruined by the disaster of beauty?"
Liu Zhang did not answer, but held his forehead with his hands and kept sighing.
"My lord, do you know the story of 'Extinguish the Candle and Cut the Tassel'? Tang Xiao teased the concubine of King Chuzhuang. King Chuzhuang was generous and gave Tang Xiao face, so that he could defeat the Jin army in the future!"
"Today, I have not asked my lord to abandon Cai Yan, but to marry him as a concubine. If one day your majesty asks for Cai Yan, what will happen to my lord? Will you raise an army to rebel?"
Jia Xu's words stunned Liu Zhang. Faced with Jia Xu's fierce eyes, Liu Zhang actually felt guilty.
"Whether it is Cai Yan or Princess Wannian, they are just women! My lord, you must never forget your ambition!"
Liu Zhang's eyes were a little confused and he looked at Jia Xu blankly.
"My ambition..."
"My lord, you can't tell Cai Yan now just because you don't have a sense of crisis! If you are surrounded by enemies from all sides and have to rely on your identity as the consort, will you still be so indecisive?"
Jia Xu's words were like sharp blades, cutting through the fig leaf in Liu Zhang's heart layer by layer.
Comfort, sense of crisis! These words kept popping up in Liu Zhang's mind.
Jia Xu did not give Liu Zhang time to digest, but continued to ask questions.
"My Lord, do you think you have His Majesty's trust now? Let me tell you, not really! Especially after we set off to the northwest! Why do you think His Majesty has always trusted us?"
"Princess Wannian is simply a gift from God to the lord! Far more valuable than a piece of land! As the saying goes, if God doesn't take it, you will suffer from it!"
"If a general like Huang Zhong shows kindness to him again, he will definitely repay it with death! If he takes Yizhou in the future, won't he need a marriage? If he takes Liangzhou's third assistant, won't he need a marriage?"
"Lord! Only Cai Yan, and it's just a change in status in exchange for such a big benefit, do you still need to hesitate?"
Jia Xu was both rational and emotional, and even explained all the pros and cons. However, Liu Zhang never made up his mind and remained hesitant.
Liu Zhang was in deep pain at this moment, struggling in his heart.
He didn't understand what Jia Xu said, but he never had the courage to face Cai Yan.
Liu Zhang was afraid. He was afraid of losing. He was afraid that once he said these words, he would lose Cai Yan forever.
"My lord, are you afraid of losing?"
Jia Xu's insight was so sharp that he directly penetrated Liu Zhang's heart.
Liu Zhang was listless and nodded slightly. He was so guilty that he didn't even dare to look into Jia Xu's eyes.
Jia Xu must be very disappointed in me. . .
Liu Zhang couldn't help but sigh in his heart, even he was disgusted with his indecision.
In fact, Jia Xu did not do what Liu Zhang thought. He still firmly believed that Liu Zhang could cheer up.
"My lord, it is not shameful to be afraid. Everyone will be afraid sometimes! The most shameful thing is to be restrained in the face of fear and do nothing but escape!"
"Today, my lord missed the opportunity to marry the princess because he was afraid of losing Cai Yan, which indirectly caused His Majesty's alienation. Will he abandon the state and county tomorrow because he is afraid of losing Cai Yan?"
"It's acceptable to be afraid of losing something once or twice, but what if it accumulates over time? It will definitely create a situation that we can't recover from!"
"When the power is exhausted and there is no other way out, what can the Lord do to protect the one he loves?"
