Three Kingdoms: From Yinlin to Great Wei Xiongzhu

Chapter 491 Two Maids and One Husband, the First in History

The night was like a rock, and the rain was pouring down.

It was still sunny during the day, but in the middle of the night...it was pouring rain.

At this moment, the thirty miles east gate of Xudu City was full of people, and countless officials were waiting in the heavy rain wearing coir raincoats.

At the front of the group of officials was the Son of Heaven under the umbrella of the yellow cover. He was trembling all over, coughing twice from time to time, but his eyes were extremely firm!
It was very cold, at this moment he was shivering with cold...

But even if he was curled up, the emperor Liu Xie's feet were still motionless, waiting... even if he was just making a gesture, he still had to wait!

"Get it..."

The neighing of a war horse resounded here.

Cao Ren led a few tigers and leopards and galloped to the east gate. When they saw the emperor, they all reined in their horses.

A soldier helped Cao Pi grab the reins, and Cao Pi got off his horse.

"Your Majesty, Cao Sikong knows that His Majesty will meet you within thirty miles, and he is grateful. He sent me to inform His Majesty that the army will not be able to reach Xu Capital City today. There is no need to wait. Let's go back. Under the heavy rain, Your Majesty still needs to take care of the dragon's body!"

"What is my body?" Emperor Liu Xie grabbed Cao Ren's hands. "Cao Sikong begged for thieves for the country, and he didn't return for more than half a year. How many times his life was on the line...Compared with my body, I care more about his body. Tonight...even if Cao Sikong's army does not triumph, I will defend it Day, this is...the only meager effort I can do for Cao Sikong!"

Huo…

Cao Ren was a little surprised that Emperor Liu Xie put on such a low profile.

But Han Chen was not surprised, nor was Xun Yu beside him.

The Son of Heaven was worried that Cao Cao would enter the city of Xu...

Once in, it is necessary to personally try the "Fujia" case, and the relationship between the Han court and the Cao family will never be eased in the first trial of this case!
According to the current strength... Han Ting will definitely die.

"Your Majesty, it's raining heavily. Cao Sikong has always been cautious and never walks at night. It's better to go back to the palace to rest. Your Majesty will come early tomorrow morning." Xun Yu persuaded.

"No need... I'm waiting for Cao Sikong here, to welcome Cao Sikong back in triumph!" Emperor Liu Xie's tone was exceptionally firm.

at this time…

"Da da da..." The sound of horseshoes sounded again.

In the sound of rain...

Suddenly, the sound of tens of thousands of horseshoes came from far and near...

Liu Xie's eyes widened suddenly, and Xun Yu's eyes were full of disbelief. Cao Sikong...has he really walked at night?

"Get it..."

The horse neighed, and this time it was Xia Houyuan who stopped the horse in front of the emperor.

He got off his horse, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, Cao Sikong is already in Chongde Palace, waiting for Your Majesty!"

Huo…

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was shocked, except Xun Yu's eyes narrowed, and he murmured in his heart.

Cao Sikong is still the familiar Cao Sikong, how can his whereabouts be easily revealed?

Except for members of the Cao and Xiahou clans, except for his eldest son, he would not trust anyone!

...

...

The guards of the palace were still complaining about the terrible weather. The heavy rain caused a layer of mist to appear on the ground. Their shoes and socks were completely wet, and they couldn't help shivering all over.

After all, His Majesty was not in the palace tonight. I thought about staying up until late at night, so I took turns to be on duty so that some people could have a little sleep.

I never thought that it could be seen in the distance... Not far away, a group of people are quickly entering the palace!
"Cao Sikong..."

The guard rubbed his eyes with an incredulous expression on his face. According to the letter sent back, Cao Sikong should be back tomorrow morning...why...

Don't wait for them to come back to their senses.

"When working late at night, cheer up!"

Cao Cao roared, he had already passed the Sima Gate, and stepped into the complex road connecting the Xuanwu Gate of the South Palace and the Suzaku Gate of the North Palace!

He walks in the middle, which is only the emperor and queen can walk, commonly known as "Royal Road"!
But two hours.

The emperor and all the officials hurried back.

Cao Cao stood in front of the gate of the Chongde Hall with a smile, and when he saw the Emperor Liu Xie, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Your Majesty has gone out of the city for thirty miles to meet you, you really have a heart, please..."

Who would have thought that in the middle of the night... the entire Chongde Hall was brightly lit!

Cao Cao knew that the emperor had something to say to him...

I also want to hear what the emperor plans to say?How to do it?
Of course, the beginning of all this was because of Yuer's letter asking for the title of "Doctor Yushi"!

...

The Late Dynasty, the Chongde Hall at this moment, is undergoing a very rare "Late Dynasty".

Speaking of...

In ancient times, there were "late dynasties", which corresponded to "early dynasties".

It's just that "Zhou Li" stipulates that the royal family must go to the morning court every day.

Of course, the early dynasties stipulated by Zhou Li were not for discussing state affairs, but to greet the emperor. Zhou Li, the etiquette of the occasion was far more important than politics.

But... later on...

With the increasing complexity of social classes and the development of national politics, the entire imperial court has countless things to discuss every day.

then…

The ministers and the emperor took advantage of the time in the early court. In addition to greeting the emperor, they also reported on their work and discussed policies.

This is the origin of the early dynasty!
As for the court meeting at night, it was carried out by another emperor surnamed Zhu who was called a "workaholic" thousands of years later!

now…

The emperor sat on the dragon chair, holding a memorial book in his hand...

And Cao Cao stood proudly beside him, with sword shoes on his body.

"This is the list of meritorious deeds in the Battle of Guandu, the Battle of Cangting, and the Battle of Xudu. I have submitted the drafted awards to the Shangshutai. Your Majesty, please have a look!"

"Among them, Xia Houjuan, the adopted daughter of General Xiahou, discovered the position of the bandit soldiers during the defense of Xudu, and made great achievements. She should be rewarded, but Xia Houjuan is a woman. The specific reward has not been determined by the minister. Come and ask His Majesty!"

"The minister intends to ask His Majesty for Xiahou Juan's will to marry her to Marquis Baima. I wonder what His Majesty's opinion is?"

Cao Cao didn't mention the imperial envoy doctor, nor the position of prime minister, but only proposed a reward, and even a marriage!
These are all well-known things.

As for the others...Cao Cao wants the emperor to speak, and wants to see his attitude?

Of course.

Marriage bestowed by the Son of Heaven was a great honor in ancient times!

"Hahaha…"

Liu Xie laughed out loud, his tone was extremely gentle.

"Since it's the award presented by Cao Sikong, I don't need to look at it, I just hand it over to the Shang Shutai to draft the edict... As for the Marquis Baima's marriage to the noble daughter of the Xiahou clan..."

Speaking of this, Emperor Liu Xie deliberately paused.

Cao Cao's eyes narrowed slightly.

However, just for a moment, his eyes opened again.

He was sure that the emperor could not refuse.

"Hahaha…"

Sure enough, Liu Xie was laughing, laughing.

"I don't know Cao Sikong's intentions."

"It is said that it is the noble daughter of the Xiahou family, but in fact, it is the Baimahou who made the first contribution in the three battles..."

"Actually, I drafted the emperor's will to marry you early in the morning, so that this pair of jade couples can enjoy a lot of glory, but...before that..."

The emperor Liu Xie made a fool of himself, and he winked at Leng Shouguang, the little yellow family beside him.

"Read!"

A voice came out...

Immediately, Leng Shouguang faced all the officials, took out an imperial edict from his cuff, and read aloud:

——"Your Majesty wrote it personally. I heard that Cao Gongteng, Marquis of Feiting, supported the Great Han Dynasty for more than [-] years. He is good at advancing and talented, and the recommended Chenliu Yufang, Bian Shao, Nanyang Yangu, Zhang Wen, Hongnong Zhang Huan, Yingchuan Tangxi Dian, etc. are all recommended to be ministers. appreciation."

——"His son, Song, entered an official position in the shadow of his family. He has successively served as the Colonel of Sili, Qing of Honglu, and Da Sinonong. He ranks among the nine ministers! Humerus of a great man!"

——"Its grandson Cao, who was ranked as Sikong in the current dynasty, flattened the yellow scarf, punished the Dong thief, eliminated the false emperor, and helped the Han family, a Cao family, full of loyalty, I am very relieved, now I personally named Cao Cao as the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, The head of a hundred officials, the general manager of a hundred affairs, I hope that Aiqing will remember the loyalty and courage of Cao's family, and rule the world for the Han Dynasty, and return the world to a bright and peaceful world!"

Huo…

It was expected and reasonable that this edict spread to Cao Cao's ears.

Cao Cao was happy in his heart, at least, Yu'er's "Doctor Yushi" request was not in vain. After weighing the pros and cons, the emperor still took this "difficult" step.

Immediately, a smile appeared on the corner of Cao Cao's mouth!
Followed by handcuffs...

Praise to the unknown Cao Cao, very rare to bow to the emperor Liu Xie. "Cao Cao thanked the emperor for his kindness, and helped the Han Dynasty to rule the world. This is the ambition of me, Cao Cao. For this... I must devote myself to everything!"

While speaking, Cao Cao bowed again...

The emperor Liu Xie hurriedly supported Cao Cao.

"Prime Minister Cao, why not... After listening to the imperial edict, it's not too late to thank you!"

In a word, Liu Xie turned his head and looked back at Leng Shouguang.

"Continue, read!"

As soon as he opened his mouth, Leng Shouguang put away the first edict, and immediately took out the second edict from his sleeve.

Quickly unfolded, and then said loudly:

——"Written by Your Majesty, the Xiahou clan, the descendant of the founding hero Xiahou Ying, the noble daughter of the Xiahou clan, has a beautiful heart and a beautiful heart, and is upright this year, suitable for marriage!"

——"Princess Wannian, the eldest daughter of the late emperor, and my eldest sister, was born of the empress of the late emperor Song. She has a noble status, is intelligent and sensitive since she was a child, and has been loved by the late emperor day and night. The late emperor loves her very much!"

——"At present, Princess Wannian has passed her prime, and it is time for her to marry. I will inherit the late emperor's dream and choose a good son-in-law from among the ministers to marry the princess!"

——"I heard that Baima Hou Lu Yu has a noble character and a dignified appearance. He is a match made in heaven with the noble daughter of the Xiahou family and the princess Wannian. It is the beauty of a beautiful woman. I want to imitate the etiquette of the state of Qi in the pre-Qin period. I hereby authorize the noble daughter of the Xiahou family Princess Wannian and Princess Wannian are married to Baima Hou Lu Yu together at an auspicious time, and all the etiquette will be discussed by Tai Chang and Guang Luxun to be done!"

——"In addition, I specially appointed the son-in-law Lu Yu as the royal doctor to supervise the officials on behalf of the big man and the emperor! This edict is announced at home and abroad, and the salty envoys will hear it!"

As soon as this edict came out...the audience was in an uproar!
A group of Han officials were quite prepared, and it was their deliberate decision to let Lu Yu serve as the bridge between the Han Dynasty and Cao Ying.

Although Lu Yu is Cao Cao's humerus, he is quite trusted by Cao Cao!

But this is not important, the important thing is...he has no background...

In other words, he has no parents, no family, and his only elder sister, Cai Zhaoji, can be regarded as the descendant of a loyal minister!After Hanchen!

Of course, it is contrary to etiquette to let Lu Yu marry two wives at a time!

But at this time, Lu Yu's marriage has a lot to do with it, and he can move his whole body if he pulls it. No Han officials will question it, and Cao Ying's Chinese officials and generals are even more happy to hear it.

Of course... there is a bit of envy to some extent.

On one side is the noble daughter of the Xiahou family. The Xiahou family and the Cao family share weal and woe, and Xiahou Juan's status will naturally rise.

On the other side is the most beloved eldest daughter of the late emperor, Princess Wannian...

It is not an exaggeration to say that she is one of the most valuable women in the world today!

The development of the situation unexpectedly made them marry together...

What a blessed young man!
call…

Even Cao Cao was outraged, a little surprised.

It's not Yu'er's official title as the imperial censor, but the two wives of a Marquis family!

In Dahan, a man married two regular wives, which has never happened before...

Even in the past, King Qi accepted the queen, one king and three queens only said that, and the historian recorded that, before the queen was accepted, the king of Qi became cold.

It is no exaggeration to say that Yuer, the two wives of the Marquis House, set a precedent in history.

Moreover, the most strange thing is that these sour scholars in the court did not say a word for such a behavior that violated the etiquette!

acquiescence!

Their expressions seemed to have acquiesced to the emperor Liu Xie's idea.

That means a lot...

What's more, in the imperial edict, Emperor Liu Xie put Xia Houjuan's name first, and Princess Wannian's name last. This is full of details!

This is the sincerity and concession of the emperor!
Ha ha…

Thinking of this, Cao Cao laughed, laughing out loud in his heart!
Yu'er is his son, with two wives from the same Marquis Mansion, hehe... Cao Cao likes to hear about it, even ten times, a hundred times happier than him marrying two wives himself!
"Hahaha…"

With this in mind, Cao Cao's hearty laughter came out one after another, followed by his melancholy voice. "Your Majesty is thoughtful. Princess Wannian and Xia Houjuan work together as a husband. Only in this way can the contribution of 'Lu Yushi' be demonstrated, and also the greatness of His Majesty's grace!"

This sentence blurted out...

All the feelings raised by the Han Chen came to the fore, and they were afraid... Cao Cao would not accept the Han Dynasty's reconciliation!

Of course…

Han Chen and the Son of Heaven only saw the first floor at most, but Cao Cao had already seen the fifth floor!
Princess Wannian, the eldest daughter, only daughter, and first daughter of the first emperor!

Marrying Yu'er with such an identity, wouldn't that be a huge blessing to Yu'er's fame and prestige?Yu'er is the candidate for the heir that he has already determined, and the future great cause will definitely be handed over to him.

There is such a title of "son-in-law", whether it is to inherit the great cause, or to be regent, to take power...

In the whole world, who would dare to say half of the word "no"?

Even Hanchen didn't dare!
Not even qualified!
Because, Yu'er's identity as the son-in-law of the late emperor was imposed by them!
"Ha ha ha ha…"

Cao Cao's devilish laughter resounded throughout the Chongde Hall. Who would have thought that such a "late dynasty" would have such a harmonious atmosphere.

Cao Cao couldn't stop muttering...

Your Majesty, Hanchen, ridiculous, ridiculous...

They are clever but they are mistaken by cleverness!
Thinking of this, Cao Cao immediately waved.

"Your Excellency Xun Lingjun drafted the imperial edict on behalf of Shang Shutai. Lu Ziyu was blessed with double happiness. The emperor bestowed a marriage on him. He had two wives from the Marquis's house. We must send your majesty's imperial edict to Xuzhou immediately, so that Lu Yushi can rush back immediately and get married! This way, we will live up to it." holy will!"

In fact, Cao Cao had already sent someone to recruit Lu Yu back to the court.

after all…

Food and grass are almost raised. To be honest, as an old father, Cao Cao also misses his most important son!

only…

Lu Yu wanted to assist "Zhuge Liang" to bring the Jiangbei League on the right track, plus... nothing major happened recently, so Lu Yu wrote back to Cao Cao and returned to Xu Capital at a later date.

Well now.

The imperial edict from Shangshutai is another story. The emperor bestowed a marriage, so the two daughters-in-law of Cao Cao can't be left alone, can they?Ah ha ha!
"Prime Minister Cao ordered..." Emperor Liu Xie followed Cao Cao's words and continued: "Lu Yushi returns as soon as possible, so Taichang and Guangluqing can choose a good day and auspicious date as soon as possible!
"Lu Yushi's big wedding is not only related to the noble daughter of the Xiahou family, but also to the princess Wannianchang. It must be grand and amnesty the world!"

Liu Xie gave Lu Yu enough face, and also gave Cao Cao enough face.

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

Cao Cao rarely knelt and bowed his hands to salute, while Liu Xie helped Cao Cao up.

Just as he was about to speak, Cao Cao's words came out quietly.

——"Your Majesty has a heart. I have always felt that the Fu family united with the Yuan family. This is a misunderstanding. What do you think, Your Majesty? Ah!"

The extremely low and thin voice resounded in Liu Xie's ears.

Only he and Cao Cao can hear it.

——"Misunderstanding, of course it is a misunderstanding!"

Liu Xie stood up tremblingly...

He knew that Cao Cao's ability to say such a sentence was a great reconciliation between Cao Ying and the Han Court...and Han Chen!It is a huge concession from Cao Cao!
finally…

With the position of a prime minister, the position of a censor doctor, and the price of two wives of the Marquis Mansion... in exchange for the trust of Cao Cao, he saved a group of Han officials!Let the Han Dynasty continue!
The moon is at the brow, the cold wind is biting...

But at this moment, the Chongde Hall is inexplicably full of warmth!
...

...

In the second half of the night, the city of Xu Capital was under heavy prison.

The torch was flickering, and the sound of groans kept coming and going. Cao Cao strode in, followed by Man Chong.

They came to the prison door where Fu Wan was held.

Cao Cao gestured for Man Chong to open the door, then entered the prison, looked at Fu Wan and said, "This Prime Minister will give you one last chance, who else is in your party? Is there Kong Rong? Xun Yu?"

——"I, I don't have any accomplices, I don't know Cao Si... I don't know what Prime Minister Cao means!"

Fu Wan's voice was extremely soft, as if he had been tortured here.

after all…

Even if you don't unite with Yuan Shao, you can act as Liu Bei's internal response, cooperating with the internal and external, and trying to take the emperor away in vain, which is already a capital offense!

but…

Now that he can't die and rule the world, Cao Cao still needs the help of the Han court, at least... before the northern border is completely wiped out, there can be no more internal turmoil.

As long as we weaken the power of the Fu family and take away the military power in his hands, just like how we dealt with Yang Biao in the past...

The Fu family can no longer set off any storms!
Ha ha…

Cao Cao gently licked his lower lip with his tongue!
He squinted his eyes to see Fu Wan, and suddenly laughed "haha", he helped him up and down. "Fu Guozhang, I'm sorry for making you wronged!"

Fu Wan looked at Cao Cao in astonishment, with fear in his eyes.

Cao Cao said with a smile: "Many villains secretly communicated with Yuan Shao, Liu Bei and others, trying to take advantage of me during the battle of Guandu to break through the city gate of Xudu and take away the emperor. It made you suffer, but fortunately, today's investigation is clear, and the school affairs office has cleared up your grievances!"

After bending down, his legs became weak and he couldn't stand upright, so he almost leaned on Cao Cao's body.

Cao Cao continued, "Is the injury serious? Can you still walk?"

Fu Wan said in a trembling voice, "Can...can!"

It seemed that he was not having a good time in this prison.

Cao Cao supported Fu Wan and walked out.

"Actually, it's best if your Majesty can figure it out. I, Cao Cao, am also a Han subject. Everything I do is to reshape the mountains and rivers for the Han Dynasty! Fu Guozhang will not make me Cao Cao too difficult, yes no?"

Fu Wan said in a low voice: "I dare not..."

Cao Cao patted Fu Wan's hand in satisfaction, but the next sentence was meaningful.

——"The two wives of the Marquis' Mansion, Fu Guozhang, kill three birds with one stone. The more I think about it, the more I admire Cao Cao!"

call…

After bending down, he paused, as if he was a little surprised, but only for a moment, his expression became calm again.

——"Three birds with one stone? Why don't you understand? The official thinks that Prime Minister Cao has killed three birds with one stone!"

Hey…

This is blurted out!

Ha ha…

Ha ha ha ha…

Cao Cao and Fu Wan laughed heartily at the entrance of the prison.

This laughter, if you don't know it, you will probably think that they are a pair of close friends who haven't seen for a long time!

...
