Riding and cutting the imperial pirates of the Three Kingdoms

Lu Bu's guess was correct. Mrs. Feng's pregnancy caused Shouchun's officials to spontaneously discuss Wang Zheng's marriage again, and Lu Qiling, who had not yet married, was once again questioned about her original wife's status.

Since Mrs. Feng is pregnant with Wang Zheng's first child, regardless of gender, the identity of a concubine cannot be escaped. Wang Zheng originally called everyone to discuss this point. Who knew that everyone would discuss another topic before they knew it.

Wang Zheng had reached the crown at the beginning of the year, and now that he was going to choose a concubine, why not decide on the marriage and the choice of the first wife?

Mi Heng was the first to express that this time and that time, with the current status of the king, Lu Lingqi is no longer a good match, she can be married, but it is absolutely inappropriate to be a regular wife.

Guo Jia, who hadn't attended the meeting last time, also expressed his agreement with this: "Lu Feng's ancestor, the brave tiger, is also a hero in the world. If he really marries his daughter as his wife, this person will be a relative, and he can participate in a grandiose manner, and even Interfering with my Xuzhou government affairs, this festival must be investigated by the lord."

Wang Zheng glanced at Guo Jia when he heard the words, "Bong Xiao's words, do you agree with Zhengping's opinion?"

"It's just that this matter was originally proposed by the general, and Zhang Guo was invited to go to Wu County to be a matchmaker, and he also gave a dowry. Now that he goes back on his own, I'm afraid it will attract criticism from all over the world."

"My lord's concern is not unreasonable."

Guo Jia said with a smile: "It's against you, it's against you. Since the lord promised Lu Lingqi the status of wife, then at this time, it's true that the influence is not good. Xuzhou alone is fine. After all, the lord is kind and loving. Everyone in Xuzhou loves him. The admiration of the courtiers and the people for the Lord will never change because of this incident, but "

"How the newly attached lands of Jiujiang, Lujiang, and Beihai will react, and how the people of the world will look at the lord, we must think deeply."

"So what I mean is actually quite different from brother Zhengping. The so-called doneness is done. For the sake of the lord's reputation, Lu Lingqi's status as wife cannot be shaken. If you want to shake it, you can only let Lu Bu go back on his own initiative, or..."

Speaking of this, Guo Jia looked around the crowd, and said calmly: "In this world, some people are so poor that they become extremely rich, but because of this, they encounter unreasonable disasters and die young. I have seen this general and tiger girl in Xiapi before. Hehe, it seems to belong to this type of person.”

Hearing Guo Jia's implication, Wang Zheng immediately frowned, and before he could speak, Mi Heng on the side nodded repeatedly, agreeing:

"This plan is very clever, it can be said to be a bottom line, Lu Qiling's own family has no luck, whether it is Lu Bu or the people of the world, it is naturally no wonder that the lord is on him."

It's just that it was useless for him to agree. Wang Zheng shook his head almost without thinking, and immediately spoke directly to express his position:

"Lu Lingqi and this general have no enmity or enmity. If she wants to spread this cunning way to a woman just because of some hidden dangers, this general will not bear it, and feel even more disturbed!"

Guo Jia's strategy made it clear that he was trying to make Lu Qiling "reasonably die" in Xiapi. It was nothing more than "suddenly contracting a strange disease" or "encountering a bandit by chance".

Anyway, the result must be to respond to Lu Bu's side with the excuse of "sudden death" by accident.

Wang Zheng found it very awkward to kill a woman who had no enmity with his family, and it was really hard for him to accept such insidious means.

After pondering for a moment, Wang Zheng said slowly again: "Another method of Feng Xiao can be considered. Can we find a way to make Lu Bu take the initiative to repent?"

"It's hard."

Guo Jia shook his head: "A while ago there was a military report from Pengcheng that Lu Bu led his troops to attack the Lu State, but was attacked by the Yanzhou Army. Not to mention the big defeat again, even the generals under his command, Wei Xu and Hou Chengcheng, successively surrendered Cao Cao. Now that the army is in decline and the end of the road, marrying the lord's guild alliance is the only chance for him to turn around, how could Lu Bu take the initiative to repent and give up this only way of life?"

Everyone nodded their heads in agreement, what Mi Heng said just now was right, it was indeed this moment and that moment.

At the beginning of the negotiation of this marriage, Wang Zhengfang won the four counties of Xuzhou, and the foundation was not stable. In addition, Cao Cao specially sent Dong Zhao to Xuzhou to provoke Lu Bu and Wang Zheng to "two tigers compete for food".
On the one hand, in order to cope with this plan, on the other hand, Wang Zheng just adopted Zhang Zhao's plan and sent him to propose marriage to Lu Bu on the initiative.

But now, Wangzheng has hidden nine counties, including Beihai, Taishan, Guangling and even Jiujiang, which are either rich or powerful, and have more than [-] troops!

His power is expanding too fast. Not to mention Lu Bu, who is now a successful or defeated dog, even when his power is at its peak, it is difficult to match. For such a royal government and such an interest group in Xuzhou, no matter whether Lu Bu himself or himself The soldiers and horses under his command are not only dispensable, but even worse than nothing!

After all, regardless of civil or military, everyone is extremely optimistic about the future of the king's government. If more people participate, wouldn't it be more mouths to grab food?

So at this moment, it can be said that everyone in the Xuzhou Army is unwilling to have Lu Qiling become Wang Zheng's official wife, including Xu Fang, Wu Sheng, Yu Jin and others who are not in Shouchun.

Maybe Zhang Zhao, who made every effort to facilitate this marriage, was an exception.

But on the other hand, at this time, Lu Bu's forces were eager for the finalization of the marriage, so Lu Qiling hurried to get in.

"How about using the excuse of being a flat wife?"

Seeing that everyone had nothing to do, Wang Zheng had no choice but to ask: "People like Lu Bu have a proud personality, how can they accept that someone is equal to her daughter, if they get angry, we just go along with it?"

"Ping wife?"

This vocabulary is easy to understand, and everyone immediately understood it, but it is also true, almost everyone did not understand why Wang Zheng came up with this method, and You Heng immediately frowned and said: "My lord, you mean to have one husband and two wives? Things that are not in line with etiquette have never happened since ancient times.”

"Uh, no?"

Wang Zheng was startled when he heard the words, and looked at Guo Jia.

Guo Jia also nodded and said: "My lord's meaning is roughly understood. It is to choose a woman to share the same room with Lu Qiling as equals. However, since ancient times, they have always been monogamous, and their status is higher than that of concubines. But it’s still far below the main wife.”

Before the Qin and Han Dynasties, there was a special existence of "concubines". In "Yi Li·Shi Hun Li", there is a saying that "the ancients married their daughters, and their nephews followed them, and they were called concubines." The nieces and sisters must be married first, and the sisters who have never married are concubines. Although the status of Teng's concubine is lower than that of the main wife, it is higher than that of the concubine. Without this qualification, this kind of "Teng concubine" can be regarded as the earliest expression of a flat wife.

The real equal wives and co-distress only appeared in the Tang Dynasty, but they only maintained an acquiescing attitude. For example, it is recorded in "Old Tang Book·Wang Maozhong Biography", "His wife has been named Mrs. Guo, and his wife Li The family is also the wife of the country; every time she enters the court, the two wives will receive gifts together."

"If you don't have it, then you don't have it."

Wang Zheng thought for a while, then waved his hands indifferently and said, "So what if you didn't have it before, I will just be the No. 1 of this creation, why not?"

seem
Nothing wrong?
Guo Jia and Mi Heng watched each other face to face. Although these things are a bit sensational and even risk the world's dissatisfaction, they may not attract much criticism when they are placed on Wang Zheng.

First, in the final analysis, this is nothing more than Wang Zheng's family affairs.

Second, there is great chaos now, no matter whether the princes are civil or military, traffickers or pawns, who has the leisure to care whether he has one wife or two wives?
Third, for the big man, Wang Zheng has already done the most rebellious thing. Compared with committing rebellion and the Yellow Turban rebellion, what is marrying two wives?

In fact, the most important thing is that even Mi Heng, who values ​​etiquette and rules the most, has to admit that Wang Zheng's proposal is currently the only solution.

Guo Jia has made it clear that it is inconvenient for Wang Zheng to voluntarily repent of the marriage, and he does not agree to let Lu Qiling "die without illness", and at this time Lu Bu is absolutely impossible to talk back.
After all, taking ten thousand steps back, even if Lu Bu is unwilling to attach himself to Wang Zheng, he will never turn against Wang Zheng at this time.

If you take the initiative to repent of the marriage, isn't that causing trouble for yourself and making enemies?
So looking at it this way, "Ping Wife" is exactly
It is the only solution.

Even if Lu Bu's father and daughter accepted it holding their noses, Wang Zheng's back house would be regarded as an extra force to restrain the Lu family.

Thinking of this, Mi Heng took the initiative to ask: "Who does the lord want this wife to be?"

Hearing this, Wang Zheng looked at Mi Heng with a smile that was not a smile, "I don't have any affiliation for the time being, if there is a beautiful woman in Zhengping's heart, why don't you tell me?"

Just as Mi Heng was about to open his mouth, his heart suddenly trembled.

Although he was arrogant and unreasonable, he was not a fool after all, he didn't realize what he had said until he was on the verge of speaking, and quickly changed his words: "This is a family matter for the Lord, it is inconvenient for me to speak."

"Ha ha."

Wang Zheng smiled, and said softly: "Zhengping, you and I have known each other for a long time, why bother to say such things to perfuse this general? If you think that this marriage is just a family matter of this general, why did you object to Lu Bu's daughter twice?"

"This general has already said that during the meeting, the speaker is innocent and speaks freely. If you have someone to choose, just say it."

Anyway, Mi Heng has entered the system a long time ago, so there must be no problem with his loyalty to him, but he has selfishness, at least it does not conflict with his own interests, and Wang Zheng will not care too much for the time being.

This is what Wang Zheng said, and you Heng knew in his heart that he had already seen someone in his family, otherwise he would not have taken the lead against Lu Qiling again today.

If he refuses to say anything today, even if Wang Zheng won't blame him, he won't have the chance to speak up on this matter in the future. After hesitating for a moment, he is determined, so he simply said directly:

"My lord, there is a girl named Mi Zhen in the Mi family, she is both talented and beautiful, and she has the virtues of being a lady. She is the prestige of the people in Xiapi County, and I think she is a good match."

"Mi Zhen?"

Hearing this name, an elegant and beautiful face immediately appeared in Wang Zheng's mind.

If it is true that the first time they met was under the circumstances that the two did not know each other's identity, then the second time is already very unlikely.

Both times we met in the Mi family's courtyard, and the girl's conversation is extraordinary and her temperament is generous, she can't be a servant girl, and she doesn't look like a wife or concubine, so she can only be a relative of Mi Fang.

Under such circumstances, Wang Zheng can guess with his toes that the so-called Shi Bei is most likely the original Mrs. Mi who married Liu Bei in history.

And did Mi Zhen guess Wang Zheng's identity?

Wang Zheng didn't know, but from what he thought, this woman Mi Zhen was very handsome, even if he didn't know his real identity, he would never believe that he was an ordinary guard.

Marry Mi Zhen as his wife?

It has to be said that Wang Zheng was a little moved by this candidate.

Compared to Lu Qiling who had never met before (he thought), at least the little girl Mi Zhen had a good impression on him, and he even had a good impression of her.

Because the other party is not only beautiful, but also smart, the key is that it is quite consistent with the three views of Wang Zheng.

It's just that although I thought so in my heart, it showed that Shang Wangzheng was calm, and instead looked at Mi Heng and smiled: "This is Mi Fang's younger sister, Zhengping, I will remember that you have no personal relationship with Zifang, why did you recommend this?" Female?"

"The lord's words are tactful, the minister and Mi Fang are not just friends."

You Heng smiled wryly and said, "It's simply disgusting to look at each other, but the sages have said that you don't avoid relatives when you do it internally, and you don't avoid enemies when you do it externally. Although the minister and Mi Fang have disagreements, they admire her sister very much."

"This woman is not only charming and charming, but also talented. If she can marry a hero like the lord, it can be said to be a perfect match, a perfect match, and it will be a good story to pass down to future generations!
Is it rated so high?
Wang Zheng was stunned, he didn't expect that Mi Heng, whose eyes were above the top, could admire Mi Zhen so much, he was silent for a moment, nodded, then asked Guo Jia, "What does Feng Xiao think?"

But Guo Jia said: "I have heard about Mi Zhen, she is indeed a good wife, but it is not suitable at this time."

"Oh?"

Wang Zheng looked sideways and asked, "Why?"

"My lord wants to marry an ordinary wife to anger Lü Bu."

Guo Jiadao: "Mi Zhen's status is not considered low, and the Mi family was naturally not considered anything before.

The family is rich, but since the lord entered Xuzhou, he has shown great kindness to him, and now he has the potential to replace the Chen family. Mi Fang is also an important minister under the lord's command. Obtaining one of the two identities is no small matter, let alone having both? "

"Lv Bu and Lu Qiling would be dissatisfied at most if a girl like Mi Zhen wants to be a flat wife, and they may not become angry from embarrassment. If this happens, the lord's plan will be useless, so I said it is not suitable at this time."

"Um"

Wang Zheng nodded along with Huang Zhong and Wei Yan beside him, feeling that Guo Jia's words made sense.

There is a reason!
However, Mi Heng was very dissatisfied, and immediately sneered and said, "According to Guo Jijiu, it is most suitable to choose a woman of low status? After all, it is already very embarrassing to have an ordinary wife. If Lu Qiling To sit on an equal footing with a servant, isn't it even more disgraceful?"

His words were meant to be sarcastic, but he didn't expect Guo Jia to nod repeatedly:

"That's right, the one who knows me is Zhengping, what I mean is to let the lord accept a maid as his wife, so Lu Bu and his daughter will probably leave in shame and anger."

Wang Zheng was stunned, and so was Huang Zhong and Wei Yan.

Mi Heng was also stunned, but immediately turned into a rage.

"absurd!"

He jumped up angrily, "According to what you said, Lu Bu and his daughter are gone, but what about the future?"

"How did it end?"

There is nothing wrong with Mi Heng's question. According to Guo Jia's strategy, if Wang Zheng insists on accepting a lowly woman as his equal wife, let alone a hero who is proud and arrogant like Lu Bu, he is just an ordinary wealthy family. It is also difficult to accept, there is a high probability that she will be unbearable and will voluntarily withdraw from the engagement.

But the question is how will it end after retiring?

With Wang Zheng's current status, if he really married a slave, wouldn't it be laughed at by the world?
