Three Kingdoms: From Yinlin to Great Wei Xiongzhu

Chapter 499 Gong Wu crosses the river, Gong competes to cross the river
"Crack, snap!"

Crisp applause came from the second floor.

Behind the curtain, a man about the same age as Lu Yu came out. He was dressed in the clothes of a servant, and his brows looked sad and melancholy.

It's just that the noble temperament in his bones is ready to come out.

Except today's son Liu Xie?Who else?

"Worthy of being the Marquis of the White Horse. He has extraordinary eyesight and has no plans left. When I came here, I knew that you would definitely find me. It's just that I never thought that you would find me so quickly?"

"Your Majesty, Miao Zan." Lu Yu cupped his hands, as a courtesy of a monarch and minister.

"Tread, step!"

Emperor Liu Xie walked down from the second floor, walked up to Lu Yu, and carefully looked at this man who was about his age.

He is also in his 20s, but Lu Yu's confident and confident aura is impressive.

On the other hand, Liu Xie is almost the complete opposite of Lu Yu.

Although he is in a high position, he is... like walking on thin ice, and his aura is completely at a disadvantage.

"His Majesty!"

"In Changjie's garden, there are no monarchs and ministers, only relatives." Emperor Liu Xie sat down, and he motioned for Lu Yu to sit opposite him.

"Don't dare..." Lu Yu still didn't dare to break the rules.

Sitting on an equal footing with the emperor, this is no joke...

"You are my brother-in-law now? Why don't you dare!" Liu Xie continued to stretch out his hand...

This time, Lu Yu didn't push back and sat down immediately.

say sit...

In fact, it is kneeling. The emperor Liu Xie and Lu Yu both kneel and sit.

One table, two cups of tea, two people sitting down...

The emperor Liu Xie winked at Liu Xue, the elder sister, and Liu Xue plucked the strings again, but the song she played was completely different from the lingering and melodious "Qin Cao" just now.

The song is majestic, walking with the sound of the piano, as if you can see the mountains, the sky and the sea, the meaning of this song is intoxicating.

As for the name of this song, Lu Yu was no stranger to it.

——"Public No Crossing the River"

It is the shortest of the Han Yuefu poems, and it is the same as the longest "Peacock Flying Southeast" about the martyrdom of a couple!
This song describes the tragic cry of his wife when the white-headed madman threw himself into the river to die.

——The public did not cross the river, but the public actually crossed the river!

——Fell into the river and died, what a shame.

There are only four sentences in this poem. The sentiment is sad and sad, and the connotation is profound. It hits the depths of the soul and vividly shows a woman's sincere feelings for her relatives.

Similarly, with the help of Liu Xue's fingers stroking on the strings... the current situation of Han Ting, the current desolation and suffering are vividly revealed!

"Princess is good at playing the piano. The song "Gongwu Crossing the River" is probably far ahead of my sister!"

Lu Yu couldn't help boasting.

"Haha..." Emperor Liu Xie laughed out loud. "Your Lu Yu's sister is brilliant, but my sister is an ordinary person? Haha..."

Laughed at first...

It's ridiculous to the end, Liu Xie seems to be created by the sound of the piano!
Turning the subject, I became emotional...

"If you don't cross the river, if you don't want to cross the river, why don't you fall?" Emperor Liu Xie said softly, "How many people can cross the river in this world? I congratulate my brother-in-law, who went upstream in this troubled world and crossed the river safely. !"

call…

This…

Lu Yu breathed out and asked curiously, "I don't know what Your Majesty means by crossing the river safely?"

"Heh..." Liu Xie smiled wryly. "In the past, the King of Qin handed over 60 troops to Wang Jian to attack Chu. Before the battle with Chu, Wang Jian repeatedly asked the Emperor Qin for fertile land and mansions to show that he had no ambitions and only wanted wealth and glory! My brother-in-law is smart all his life, how can he not know the world today... My concern, the Han court's concern, and the prime minister's concern!"

Hey…

When Liu Xie said this, Lu Yu probably understood.

No wonder Sister Zhaoji agreed to the two wives of the Marquis House without discussing with her, but he, Lu Yu, was infatuated.

Speaking of...

Xia Houjuan is the noble daughter of the Cao family and the Xiahou family;
And Wannian Princess Liu Xue is a woman of the Han Dynasty;
What if they don't marry into the Marquis Mansion?How can Cao Ying and the Han court, the emperor and Cao Cao be trusted... how can Lu Yu, who is gaining power day by day, confide in him?
"Ugh…"

Lu Yu sighed with emotion. "How much I wish to emulate Wang Jian, but it's a pity...Your Majesty and Prime Minister Cao are not the King of Qin!"

Before Lu Yu could finish speaking.

Liu Xie spoke first. "The king of Qin does not kill heroes, but throughout the ages, which monarch does not kill heroes? Especially the big man. For 300 years, his relatives and powerful ministers have been the leaders of the world one after another. These... I and the prime minister are like mirrors!"

"Therefore, my brother-in-law's situation today is ten times more dangerous than that of Wang Jian in the past, and the burden on my brother-in-law is even heavier than that of Wang Jian! The unification of the world and the unity of the four seas that my brother-in-law wants are much more difficult than in the past when the Qin State defeated Chu." Times!"

"However, my brother-in-law disdains to protect himself with wealth, and he is not mistaken by beauty, like this? No weakness, no flaws? How to protect yourself? And how to gain the trust of the prime minister and the Han court?"

Confidentially...

Today's Liu Xie can be said to have confided his heart to Lu Yu.

mentioned here...

Lu Yu subconsciously turned his gaze to Princess Liu Xue.

"So, the two wives of the Marquis House are the smallest price? Is that so?" Lu Yu smiled slightly. "It's really a small price to make His Majesty and the Prime Minister feel at ease with me without smearing myself with wealth, but... I feel wronged..."

Don't wait for Lu Yu to finish speaking!

"Boom..."

Suddenly the piano sounded.

It seemed that Princess Liu Xue was upset.

"Haha..." Liu Xie laughed out loud and continued: "Even the parents and sons of Emperor Wu in the past recruited people to be framed by witchcraft. The elder sister's mother, Empress Song Fengyi, was also killed because of witchcraft. !"

"Brother-in-law, how can you not attract envy in your current position? That's all for me here, but once there are more envious people, and the prime minister is suspicious by nature, it will inevitably not cause tragedy."

"It's all right now. I don't want to cross the river. I want to cross the river. The two wives, brother-in-law and elder sister of a Marquis family have successfully crossed the river, but I don't know... Where is the way forward for me, the way forward for the big man?"

mention here...

Liu Xie's head drooped down, his eyes full of sadness.

He came to see Lu Yu today from the bottom of his heart. As for... what do you want to talk to Lu Yu about, or what is his purpose?
Liu Xie himself didn't know.

Perhaps the biggest purpose is to lament Lu Yu's "successful crossing of the river"...

Sentimental Han Ting's "If the public does not cross the river, what should I do!"

call…

Hearing this, Lu Yu breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately said softly: "It seems that your majesty likes this song "Gong Wu Crossing the River" very much. Even if you like it, then your majesty should know that the beauty of this song lies in restraint. The sound of the piano is far away, with a sense of boundlessness and solemnity, and a sense of powerlessness, but it lacks a sense of danger and restraint!"

This…

The sound of the piano stopped suddenly, and both Liu Xie and Liu Xue raised their eyes to look at Lu Yu.

"I hope my brother-in-law can advise me."

Liu Xie asked quickly.

Lu Yu got up slowly. "Someone said something before, it was deafening and thought-provoking, just today, I will tell His Majesty to listen to it."

Well…

Before Liu Xie could speak, Lu Yu's voice came out again.

——"Whenever I am worried about current affairs but can't do enough, there is always a voice to remind me!"

——"Love your family and people around you more, do your current affairs well, and convey kindness and blessings to everyone you meet."

——"Don't complain, don't indulge, and don't fall into despair. The so-called... People don't want to overcome their fate, but at least they can overcome their desires. They don't want to change the world, but they want to change themselves!"

Huo…

Lu Yu's words are not long, but the words between the lines are deafening.

The emperor Liu Xie subconsciously bit his lip.

Do what's right now!

Spread kindness and blessings!

Overcome Desires...not to change the world, but to change yourself!

No one has ever said such "philosophical" words to him!
Such words... let him have a feeling that I can't seem to understand, but his heart is still greatly shocked.

Yes…

Instead of complaining, instead of indulgence, and instead of despair, it is better to do what you can!
As far as Liu Xie is concerned, if he let go of those unrealistic fantasies, in fact...his status as the emperor...can do more.

"Gudong."

Emperor Liu Xie swallowed, and he got up slowly.

At this time, Lu Yu was standing with his back to him, hands behind his back, like a scholar who saw through everything, while Liu Xie bowed his hands and bowed deeply to Lu Yu!
Lu Yu's words... within a short time, Liu Xie still couldn't understand.

Can…

It seems that he saw a brand new door!

What's more, there's light on that side of the door!The light of "hope" which is the opposite of "despair"!

...

...

Xu Capital City, the Prime Minister's Mansion, within a huge courtyard.

Cao Cao, Mrs. Ding, Mrs. Bian, Mrs. Yin, Mrs. Du, Mrs. Zou, and Mrs. Huan are surrounding a beautiful pheasant, with musicians playing beside them.

The sons Cao Ang, Cao Pi, Cao Zhang, Cao Xiong and Cao Chong are also here.

Mrs. Ding was in a good mood because she had a daughter half a year ago, and she was happily poking the pheasant with its feathers, and said while poking: "Jump, why don't you jump?"

The pheasant was unmoved.

Cao Cao and the rest of the wives watched with smiles, but the county magistrate who brought the pheasant was extremely frightened and nervous. He quickly poked the pheasant with another feather. "Jump, jump, you better jump!"

This pheasant was specially presented to the prime minister and Mrs. Ding when they heard that the prime minister had a daughter-in-law in Shanyang County. It is said that it is very auspicious to be able to hear music and dance!

It's just... this pheasant seems a little unaccustomed, let alone dancing, even jumping around becomes a luxury!
At this time, the county magistrate was sweating coldly on his back. He glanced at Cao Cao nervously, then knelt down and said with a "click": "Prime Minister, Madam... I am an official... I will never dare to be with my fathers and folks in Shanyang County... To lie to the Prime Minister and Madam, this pheasant is indeed dancing to the music in Shanyang County!"

Cao Cao showed displeasure in his eyes.

So many wives and sons are here, because of a pheasant, the great interest is gone.

He was about to send the county magistrate...

"Father!" At this moment, five-year-old Cao Chong stood up. "Father, my son has a way to make this pheasant dance!"

Cao Chong is the son of Mrs. Huan.

As for Mrs. Huan, she was a concubine taken by Cao Cao when he captured Pengcheng in Xuzhou in the past.

Cao Chong was smart since he was a child, and he was quite loved by Cao Cao...

It is not an exaggeration to say that in Cao Cao's view.

Among the sons, apart from Yu'er, Cao Chong is the smartest!

"What is my son's magical method?" Cao Cao asked with a smile.

Cao Chong didn't answer, just showed a smiling face, and then whispered a few words to the maidservant at the side.

The maid left immediately, but soon... she went back and brought out a bronze mirror.

Cao Chong pointed at the pheasant. "Put the bronze mirror in front of the pheasant!"

Cao Cao waved his hand. "Do as Chonger says."

Immediately, a tiger ben soldier placed the bronze mirror in front of the pheasant. The pheasant saw its own shadow in the mirror, and suddenly spun and jumped, with a graceful posture like a dance!
this time...

Cao Cao and his wives were amused, and the county magistrate of Shanyang County let out a long breath.

Wipe the sweat off my brow...

"Ask me, my lord, why...why did this pheasant...dance when he saw himself in the mirror?"

Cao Cao, his wives, and sons also looked at Cao Chong.

As if... They also want to know this question.

Cao Chong explained softly: "I remember it was said in the book that pheasants love their feathers and dance when reflected in water. Such a beautiful thing... I think it likes to look at the shadow and feel sorry for itself. When it sees itself in the mirror, it will naturally dance with joy."

This…

The county magistrate of Shanyang County was taken aback, not because of the pheasant dancing, but... but because he was impressed by the intelligence of such a young man.

"Hahaha…"

This made Cao Cao laugh out loud. "My son is smart, and he broke the siege of the county magistrate! Come on, father will reward you well, what does my son want?"

Hearing this, Cao Chong was not only not happy, but frowned and sighed.

Cao Cao, Mrs. Ding and Mrs. Huan looked at each other in surprise.

Madam Ding hugged Cao Chong in her arms.

"Why is Chong'er so sad? Why don't you tell your parents?"

Cao Chong raised his head and glanced at the eldest son Cao Ang beside him.

"Brother Ziyou made great contributions, and brother Zijian was able to preside over the affairs of the newspaper office. They all learned a lot from the side of the head of Taixue Lu. The child also wants to study in Taixue. He will learn university knowledge from Master Cai and Master Lu and replace his father. It's just that the child is too young and too educated to accept the child!"

Hey…

It turned out that Taixue studied.

"Haha..." Cao Cao immediately laughed. "Isn't it just learning to read too much? How can Chong'er be smart and show it in an ordinary way? When Ziyu comes back, father will go and tell him in person that you will enroll this year!"

Cao Chong raised his head to thank Cao Cao, Mrs. Chaohuan, and Mrs. Ding with a smile.

Speaking of...

Cao Chong and Cao Ang have a good relationship. Whenever Cao Ang came back from Taixue, Cao Chong would always pester him...listen to him repeating.

It has always been... Cao Chong's dream to go to Taixue to study.

"Thank you daddy, thank you mom!"

Now, Cao Chong was overjoyed.

At this time...

A tiger ben soldier stepped in from the door and walked quickly to Cao Cao's side.

"Report, Prime Minister Cao, there is an urgent dispatch from Jiangdong. It is said that the Sun family in Jiangdong sent an elephant that is only found in the south, and it will be delivered to Xudu in a month or so!"

Well…

Cao Cao narrowed his eyes slightly, and his attention was all on the northern border during this time.

As for Jiangdong...not too much attention!

I only know that half a month ago...Jiangdong sent a mourning letter, and Sun Ce died of illness!

Cao Cao also specially sent a special envoy from the imperial court to mourn the funeral. He suddenly sent an elephant over at this time.Or do you have no deep meaning?
"Which son of the Sun family sent the elephant here?"

Cao Cao immediately asked...

Huben soldiers reported the truth. "It was ordered by Sun Quan, the second son of the Sun family, and Sun Yi, the third son of the Sun family."

call…

Hearing this, Cao Cao's eyes narrowed. From the four words "an order", he figured out something...

This elephant is bound to have a different world, the situation in Jiangdong cannot be stabilized!
certainly…

What is it?Cao Cao didn't know either!

He knew too little about Jiangdong, except that Yu'er's mother clan was there... and that he arranged for Chen Gong to help the Lu family in Jiangdong!

Cao Cao knew nothing about the others.

"Tell the news to Shang Shutai first, and let Xun Lingjun arrange the elephant's entry into Xudu!"

"Here!"

The tiger ben soldier promised to do it immediately.

"Okay, let's leave today, and my father will test your studies another day."

Cao Cao turned around and waved his hand.

"Well..."

A group of princes bowed their hands in worship, and a group of concubines except Mrs. Ding even bowed their bodies to salute.

But the second son Cao Pi hastily surrendered. "Father, my child also has an unfeeling request."

"Say!"

"My son has reached the age of dancing elephants, but he has achieved nothing because of his stupidity. My son begged his father to agree to let him go to the Taixue to study with brother Chong, and follow Mr. Lu and Mr. Cai to listen to the teachings!"

Heh... Cao Pi is also going to Taixue to study.

Cao Cao was happy to hear about this, and all these sons should learn from their elder brothers.

"Okay, Dad promises you!"

Cao Cao patted Cao Pi on the shoulder, and immediately walked towards the study in the backyard with fast strides.

Don't forget to order while walking.

"Ziyou, come here, I have something to tell you for my father!"

Yes…

Of course Cao Cao has something to say to Cao Ang!

After all, with the current situation... Yu'er's identity has not been revealed for a day, the clansmen of the Cao and Xiahou clans, all the wives, all the sons, including Ang'er himself, will logically believe that Cao Ang is Cao Cao's future heir!

And what Cao Cao has to do is to let Cao Ang be eliminated first in the competition for the position of the son!

Previously...

As Xun Yu mentioned, the three steps for Lu Yu to become a prince...Among them, a son, a wife, and in a family, the son refers to the "eldest son" Cao Ang!
He was out of the game unreasonably, Yu'er couldn't take the position!

"go quickly…"

Madam Ding patted Cao Ang on the shoulder.

"Yes, mother." Cao Ang hurried to catch up.

But Cao Pi, he opened his eyes suddenly, first he looked at Cao Ang, then at Cao Chong...there was some meaning in his eyes.

...

...

Jiangdong, Wu County, Lu Family Mansion.

A handsome young man walked quickly.

At this moment... In the courtyard of the Lu Mansion, a middle-aged man in Taoist robes was lazily basking in the sun.

The young man bowed respectfully to the middle-aged man in Taoist robes.

"Mr. Chen!"

The middle-aged man stretched his waist before getting up, and he sighed in his heart, the weather in Jiangdong is really good!
This middle-aged man is Chen Gong...

And the dashing handsome young man is Lu Xun.

Lu Xun looked a little anxious...

"Mr. Chen? Why did our Lu family propose to send an elephant to Xudu? Is there any reason for this?"

Lu Xun was a little puzzled...

Today's Jiangdong can be said to be full of people's hearts and minds, internal and external troubles.

Inside, Sun Ce is dead!

Of course, his death was inseparably related to the Lu family. According to what his elder brother Lu Yu had said before, even if Sun Ce woke up, it would be very easy to kill him, all he needed was a bronze mirror.

When the pheasant sees its own feathers in the mirror, it can dance happily!

The same goes for Sun Ce.

He claims to be the top two handsome men in Jiangdong, and he is an extremely narcissistic man...

If you see your handsome cheeks, all diseases will disappear naturally, and you will be dancing!
But… the opposite.

Seeing the face riddled with holes, I couldn't accept it, so I vomited blood and died!

Sun Ce can be said to be the ultimate honorary president of the "Appearance Association" in this era...

He not only has strict requirements on the appearance of those around him, but also has reached a level of penny-pinching about his appearance!

A bronze mirror!
In the mirror, an "ugly" cheek full of scars was enough to kill him on the spot!

After Sun Ce's death, in the entire Jiangdong, the entire four major families of Wujun, and the four major families of Kuaiji...caused a series of turmoil!
As for foreign troubles... it's Yamakoshi.

Hearing of Sun Ce's death, Shanyue was ready to make a move, and even turned out to plunder Jiangdong.

For this reason... all the rich and noble families in Jiangdong were furious, but they were helpless.

after all…

The last man who beat Shan Yue to the knees and sang conquering was completely cold!
But Lu Xun...

During this period of time, I searched for capable people and learned the habits of the Shanyue people...

According to the deployment of his elder brother Lu Yu in the past, their Lu family must stand up against Shanyue, so as to take over the power of the most soldiers and horses in Jiangdong!

Establish prestige!

but…

While Lu Xun was learning to fight against Shanyue.

Chen Gong suggested that Lu Ji did one thing, a big one, and that was to convince Sun Yi, the third son of the Sun family...to pay a tribute to Cao Cao in Xudu with an elephant!
That's right...it is the elephant that pays tribute to Cao Cao, not the emperor!
This move... means a lot!
Of course, Lu Xun didn't understand at all.

So I rushed to ask...

However, Chen Gong's expression was calm, he got up slowly, and said loudly:
——"The one who expresses the image is also the one who expresses the idea; the one who speaks is the one who expresses the image.

——"There is nothing more like an image than an image, and no more words than an image. Words are born from images, so you can find words to observe images; images are born from ideas, so you can find images to observe ideas."

——"The meaning is fully expressed by the image, and the image is expressed by the image."

Make a fool of yourself!

At this moment, Chen Gong is like a mysterious stick!Stick to stick!
