Chapter 134 Although Liu Hou is dead, his plan still exists
The girl is about fifteen or sixteen years old, with beautiful appearance and elegant temperament.
Shunhua refers to the hibiscus flower. Ying Zheng named the girl "Shunying" from the "Book of Songs" in the hope that the daughter would be like the hibiscus flower.
"No need to be polite, how is Shunying doing these days? Is there anything missing?"
While walking towards the girl's palace, Ying Zheng asked the girl some trivial matters in her daily life.
The girl felt strange in her heart while answering Ying Zheng's question.
Her father has dozens of children, but she is not favored among them, and he would not come to her at all.
Why did you suddenly think of her today and come to her to ask for help?
The girl thought of her age, and also thought of her several married sisters. Could it be that her father's visit this time...
After arriving at the girl's palace, Ying Zheng implemented the girl's arrangements. He looked at the girl and said, "Shunying has reached the age to get married. I have chosen a husband for Shunying."
As expected, the father came here for this reason, and the girl sighed in her heart.
As she grows up, it will happen sooner or later. Like several of her sisters, she will be married to someone by the decree of her father.
It is not up to them to make the decision, nor can they make the decision. But after hearing Ying Zheng's words, the girl still couldn't help but wonder who the husband she was going to marry was, what he looked like, and what was his temperament?
I hope I won’t be like the eldest son of Li Tingwei’s family!
Obviously there is such a big age difference between the two parties, but in order to show his favor to Li Tingwei, his father insisted on marrying his eldest sister to Li Tingwei's eldest son.
Her brother-in-law is not much different in age from her father.
The girl knew in her heart that Ying Zheng came to see her today all because of her husband, whom she had never met before. From this point of view, the family background of the unknown husband she was going to marry would not be bad.
Suddenly, an idea arose in the girl's mind: Could my father want to marry me to that mysterious Li Nian?
After Ying Zheng revealed Li Nian's name, he did not prohibit its spread. Therefore, even though she was deep in the palace, the girl knew about Li Nian.
After all, some of the things and food they use now, such as the tables, chairs and benches, and the tofu she likes to eat recently, are said to be made by Li Nian.
Just thinking that her father might marry her to that Li Nian made the girl feel bitter in her heart.
I heard that Li Nian is knowledgeable and talented and can make all kinds of wonderful things. But the more talented Li Nian is, the more it proves one thing: Li Nian is probably not young, but a very old man.
Because if you are young, you are unlikely to know so many things. You must be so knowledgeable over time, and this means you are older.
But even if she wants to marry an old man, she can't resist.
The girl responded obediently: "But it's up to my father to make the decision!"
Thinking on the bright side, if the husband her father wanted her to marry was really Li Nian, she would also be marrying a talented man.
Moreover, she was guessing that Li Nian was older, what if he wasn't?
Ying Zheng noticed the subtle expression changes on the girl's face and probably guessed what his daughter was thinking. However, he did not tell the girl what he meant. He was rather curious to know if the girl saw Li Nian. The changes of the old man.
He came to the girl today because he was influenced by Zhang Liang’s words:
“Having left his own era and coming here alone, Brother Nian is the loneliest person in this era. "I have a message for Brother Nian: Where you feel at ease is your hometown!"
Zhang Liang’s words were not only addressed to Li Nian, but also to him: Li Nian was alone in this era, which means he had no worries.
Don't look at what Li Nian said about being greedy for life, afraid of pain, and afraid of Da Qin's torture, so he acted very honestly and told him everything he wanted to know.
But this all has a premise. Li Nian still wants to live, but what if one day Li Nian no longer wants to live?
This kind of carefree person is equivalent to having no weakness. If this kind of person doesn't want to live, it will be really difficult to deal with.
It is easy to kill someone, but it is difficult to prevent someone who does not want to live from dying.
What’s even more difficult is that if this kind of person doesn’t want to live, even death can no longer scare him, which means that nothing in the world can make him fearful and surrender, and then it is even less possible to do things for him. All restrictions and restraints will be ineffective, and he can be said to be invincible!
I just don’t want to do anything for you. If you have the guts, just kill me. I don’t want to live anyway. Come on, come on, the good head is here, chop it off as you wish.
But if Li Nianbu wants to become such an invincible person and still be able to be used and controlled by him, then the only way is to make him care about him in this world and in Da Qin.
What kind of care can bind people the most?
Naturally, they are relatives, parents, wife and children. However, it is impossible to create a pair of parents for Li Nian out of thin air, so they can only be wives, children and children!
This is also the true meaning of Zhang Liang’s saying, “The place where you feel at ease is your hometown.”
Only by allowing Li Nian to take root in Da Qin and make him feel at ease will he regard Da Qin as his hometown.
Given Li Nian’s situation, I couldn’t possibly let him marry any other woman, only his daughter.
But in this way, Li Nian became his son-in-law, and he became Li Nian's father-in-law.
Thinking of this relationship, even he might hesitate a little more when he wants to kill Li Nian in the future.
‘Is this what you want to leave for Li Nian? Let him be the widower's son-in-law, so that he can have an extra layer of protection in Da Qin, Zhang Liang and Zhang Zifang! ’
Thinking of the young man who died this morning, Ying Zheng sighed again. He and Li Nian were both involved in the conspiracy. No matter how he chose, he would fall into the trap.
If he chooses not to marry a girl to Li Nian, it will make Li Nian feel that he does not trust him and will alienate him. Once this distrust begins, the consequences will be unpredictable. If he wants Li Nian to do his best to assist him, I'm afraid it will be difficult for him.
It's not like he has never seen monarchs and ministers whose trust has been broken, such as the Zhao State. Guo Kai sowed discord, which caused the King of Zhao and Li Mu to become estranged. As a result, the King of Zhao killed Li Mu and the State of Zhao was destroyed by the Qin Dynasty.
And Li Nian no longer tries his best to help Qin. Isn't it a great good thing for those who plot to rebel against Qin?
But if he chooses to marry a daughter to Li Nian, it will be in line with Zhang Liang’s original intention, allowing Li Nian to have an additional son-in-law status with him, easing Li Nian’s crisis in Daqin, and creating a better future for Li Nian. An extra layer of security for the future.
This is a conspiracy. It seems that he can choose and the decision-making power is his, but as long as he is rational, he actually has no choice.
Of course, Ying Zheng himself had long wanted to marry his daughter to Li Nian, but Li Nian had not achieved enough results before, and the history that Li Nian said had not been confirmed. At that time, Li Nian had not let him There is plenty of trust.
But things are different now. New plows, papermaking, refined salt, cement, briquettes, etc. all demonstrate the benefits that Li Nian can bring to Da Qin. Some of the history he said has been confirmed. The Xiang family has great pupils. And that Zhang Zifang...
Now Li Nian is qualified for him to marry a daughter.
Ying Zheng thought in his mind and looked at the girl. Although he has more than ten daughters, now that they are of marriageable age, there is only one who is not married yet, and there is no candidate.
