Chapter 59: The foolish Gongsun Zan

The so-called men should get married, and women should get married. Therefore, since ancient times, weddings have been a serious and important thing. Therefore, relative, a complete set of cultures related to weddings has been formed. The ancient Chinese marriage system was basically established and stabilized through the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties. In the Qin and Han dynasties, it was further developed. In general, weddings are divided into three steps: proposal, engagement, marriage, marriage, and marriage. As for the specifics, the so-called six rites, namely one lottery, and asking for names, third is Najib, fourth is Najib, ignore the invitation period, and six is ​​welcome.

Liu Bin is still proposing marriage with Cai Yan, and only marriage is left. As for Liu Bin, as for Liu Bin, he naturally doesn't have to take care of himself, so there are related subordinates to operate. He just needs to wait with peace of mind. Although this time he was marrying a concubine, it was Liu Bin's first marriage, and the second was that he had to get married before Wu Heng people reacted, so the time was relatively urgent. Especially through relevant professionals checking the almanac, he found that the best auspicious day for this year was more than half a month later, which seemed even more urgent. So Liu Bin's subordinates, even Zheng Xuan and Tong Yuan, were busy. Liu Bin's noble status, naturally did not have to do everything himself. So Zheng Xuan and Tong Yuan, who are Liu Bin's elders, naturally wanted to

He did some things on his behalf. In fact, even Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei were not idle. Because in this process, he had to give a betrothal gift. Originally, Liu Bin thought that he could just give some gold, silver, jewelry, etc., but who knew that after asking, he actually needed some birds and beasts like pairs of geese, mandarin ducks, and even grains. Liu Bin was impatient and waved his hand and asked Zhao Yun and Guan Yu to catch these things for him. Because these things were all to be caught alive. Liu Bin was too lazy to pay attention to it, and it would be a pity that he didn't need it. Fortunately, Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei followed Liu Bin for so long and had already regarded Liu Bin as their relatives. Now that Liu Bin is getting married, they are also very happy, so they all went to help Liu Bin excitedly.

The news that Liu Bin was about to get married soon spread throughout Youzhou, and even the surrounding counties had heard about it. The common people who had received favor from Liu Bin and officials who were good friends with Liu Bin all expressed their congratulations to Liu Bin. Qingzhou Governor Gong Jing, Jizhou Governor Huangpuhao, Henan Yin Zhu Yan, local officials who had dated Liu Bin before, also sent someone to give Liu Bin a big gift to congratulate Liu Bin on his big wedding. Even the Qingliu faction in Luoyang prepared a big gift to Liu Bin after Liu Bin sent people to Beijing to report the victory, and after Liu Bin learned that Liu Bin was going to get married, Emperor Ling of Han was very happy after receiving the surrender letter from Wu Heng people, Zhang Chuan and Zhang Ju's head, and Liu Bin's memorial, and he naturally wanted to express his feelings. However, he was a stingy person and reluctant to prepare a big gift.

He was preparing to promote Liu Bin. However, Liu Bin is now a general of the cavalry and the governor of Youzhou, and he has just been promoted, so he gave Liu Bin a rank of Taiwei among the three dukes. Originally, Taiwei was the leader of the three dukes, and he held the power of the world's military and horses, and had a high status. However, in recent years, it has been just a rank of empty titles and did not have much real power. Emperor Ling of Han did not want to give Liu Bin money, nor did he want to destroy the balance of power, so he gave Liu Bin such a rank of empty titles. Originally, the position of Taiwei should have been in Luoyang, but Zhang Wen had a precedent for serving as Taiwei in other places a few years ago. Now Liu Bin did not expect that Emperor Ling of Han could give him any rewards. It would be good to have a rank of Taiwei. Now the Taiwei is a rank of empty titles, and when the world is in chaos in the future, it may not be necessary.

However, so many people were happy about Liu Bin's wedding and wanted Liu Bin to congratulate him. Some people were still uncomfortable with this. The first one was He Jin in Luoyang. He had disliked Liu Bin. Since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Liu Bin had a conflict with his position, and he was even more dissatisfied with Liu Bin. He originally wanted Liu Bin to take this opportunity to embarrass people, but who knew that Liu Bin had put down Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju's rebellion so quickly, and also let the barbarians of Wuheng come forward and surrender. He

Even if he suppressed Liu Bin, there was no excuse. After all, since Liu Bin debuted, he had already made the Xianbei and Wuheng tribes express surrender to the court. This was the greatest feat of the Han Dynasty for a hundred years. No emperor was excited about the expansion of territory. Now Liu Bin has done this. Emperor Ling of Han trusts him more, so how could he suppress Liu Bin? What's more, he wants Liu Bin and He Jin to compete. Therefore, although he has any dissatisfaction, he can only swallow his anger.

Another person who was dissatisfied with Liu Bin and even angry was naturally Gongsun Zan. He originally thought that Liu Bin sent people to the grassland and asked those Wu Heng people to hand over Zhang Chun, to make a big fuss. As a result, he was talking about it. Wu Heng people ignored Liu Bin's orders. Who knew that Liu Bin was so cunning, and he had sent people to the grassland long ago. Guan Yu led an army of more than 10,000 to make a big fuss on the grassland. Wu Heng people couldn't bear it and finally handed over Zhang.

Chun. Before Gongsun Zan understood what was going on, it was reported that Liu Bin was going to get married and was preparing to marry Wuheng. Gongsun Zan was even more furious when he heard this. He also put a lot of effort into extermination of Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju. If it weren't for him, Youzhou might have fallen under the iron hoofs of Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju and Wuheng. But unexpectedly, he not only did not make any contribution in the end, but also caused the loss of troops and generals. How could Gongsun Zan, who has always been stingy, accept it?

Gongsun Zan cursed Liu Bin in his own territory, saying that Liu Bin had robbed his credit. Liu Bin is now at its peak in Youzhou and is a living god in the hearts of the people. If Gongsun Zan dared to scold Liu Bin like this outside, there would definitely be many ordinary people who would fight against him. Fortunately, he is now in his yamen and is surrounded by his confidants, so there is no need to worry about these words being passed outside. However, there is no way for him to scold Liu Bin. After all, whether it is power, power, or even fame, he is far from Liu Bin, and he is not of the same level at all. Even if he is really dissatisfied with Liu Bin, he has no way to vent his feelings. So there is no other way to curse Liu Bin in secret.

Together, we are depressed here. His subordinates, including his two brothers, did not dare to show off their anger. They stood there carefully. Only Gongsun Zan's most trusted confidant adviser Guan Jing thought for a while and said, "Lord, you don't have to worry so much. Although Liu Bin is in a strong voice and has a great reputation, we cannot face him directly. But it does not mean that we have no choice. We will lose our troops and lose our generals, and we cannot let Liu Bin feel at ease."

When Gongsun Zan heard this, he became a little interested. He narrowed his eyes and said, "Shiqi, (Guan Jing's word.) What are you good ideas? But it doesn't matter."

Guan Jing smiled and said, "Lord, isn't Liu Bin going to marry those Wu Heng people now? Humph. Now that Liu Bin is going to marry such a hurry, he definitely doesn't want those Wu Heng women to become his concubines, so he first married a Han woman. In this way, Liu Bin wants to really marry the Wu Heng people, and there is still some time left. And the two tribes want to marry, so he must discuss the complicated details. During this period, the two sides will definitely send envoys to keep communicating. We might as well send some soldiers to halfway along the way.

The interception of these envoys made both sides misunderstand that they could not only not be able to marry, but also wanted them to turn against each other. In this way, we can benefit from the fisherman. The lord might as well make friends with Liu Bin's political enemies in the court. The reason why Liu Bin achieved his achievements today is that he has his own contributions, and there is also the help of Zhang Jun and those people. However, the lord did not have much support in the court. Therefore, he would be at a disadvantage in the confrontation with Liu Bin. If the lord wants to change this situation, he must also have great support in the court.
