Demon of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 9: Luoyang Trivia

() Dahan In the spring of 188 BC, there were two major events in Luoyang that shook the world. One was that Lu Rui, the adopted son of Cao Cao, received the award from Emperor Ling of Han and the title of Marquis of Qi.This is the highest marquis treatment that non-Liu clan members have received since the founding of the Han Dynasty. This has caused a great disturbance among the bureaucratic group and the gentry group. This is the first time in history that a child aged [-].The upright officials were disappointed with Emperor Han Ling, while the speculative officials thought it was a good opportunity, as long as they could figure out Emperor Han Ling's hobbies, they could be promoted to rank.

Compared with Lu Rui's appointment as an official, another thing shocked the whole world of Han Dynasty. Cao Cao, the son of Taiwei Cao Song, had in his hand a magic pill that could revive the tortured person and continue his heirs.As soon as this news came out, the eunuch group of the big man basically broke through Cao Song's Taiwei mansion, and even Cao Song's life experience became a topic of chatting among the big man from the nobles to the common people. With the divine pill, Cao Song was born. What Cao Cao now holds is the divine pill obtained from his grandfather Cao Teng.

When Cao Song heard the rumor, he almost fainted. He was adopted by Xiahou's family to Cao's family, and he was originally a descendant of Xiahou's family.However, as soon as the rumor of Cao Song's life experience came out, many members of the Cao family began to discuss it. Even Xiahou's family sent people to inquire. Cao Song was the first and the second, and he just wanted to leave Luoyang, a place of right and wrong after resigning. !

Cao Cao has been in the mansion for the past few days, and he has also been disturbed by it. Originally, he didn't know what was going on with this magic pill. Cao Song thought that he instructed Lu Rui, so he pushed the matter to him and left it to him to handle.Later, the magic pill in Cao Cao's hand was spread even more magically. The magic pill was a magic medicine that could cure infertility and keep men alive. As soon as the rumors came out, Cao Cao received the news and hurriedly declared sick. He closed the door in the mansion and saw no guests. .

Cao Cao also asked Lu Rui how to obtain the elixir and how to know the pleasure of the boudoir and what Emperor Han Ling liked. Lu Rui only told Cao Cao that the elixir was obtained from Hua Tuo.But who told him what boudoir joy and Han Lingdi's preferences were? Only secretly investigated.You can't do anything to your beloved adopted son.

On this day, Emperor Han Ling suddenly issued an edict to let Cao Cao take Lu Rui into the palace, to officially confer the title of marquis on Lu Rui, and at the same time to officially confer an official position on Cao Cao. It's not surprising that Lu Rui was appointed a marquis, but he still has to enter the palace and be appointed an official position. This makes the second monk Cao Cao Zhang puzzled. What is His Majesty's plan?But when the emperor summoned him, Cao Cao couldn't say he was sick, so he had to take Lu Rui to court.

Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty promulgated two decrees.The first government decree was to confer Lv Rui as Marquis of the State of Qi, with one thousand households enjoying food, and the fief in Fan County. This Fan County will be an important strategic location in the battle between Cao Cao and Lv Bu in Puyang. After Cao Cao lost Puyang, That is to say, relying on this to hold Puyang's throat, and finally regain Puyang!

The second government decree made Cao Cao feel uneasy. Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty set up the eight captains of Xiyuan, and the eight were:

Lieutenant of the Military Academy——Little Huangmen·Jian Shuo

Lieutenant of the Chinese Army --- Huben Zhonglang General Yuan Shao

Lieutenant of the Lower Military Academy --- Lieutenant of Tunqi Xiaobao Bao Hong

Lieutenant of Dianjun——Yilang·Cao Cao

Auxiliary Army Zuo Xiaowei——Zhao Rong

Assistant right school lieutenant - Feng Fang

Zuo Xiaowei———Admonishment Doctor Xia Mou

Captain Right - Chun Yuqiong

Eight people were ruled by the eunuch Jian Shuo, and the eight captains were mainly in command of the 15 imperial troops in Luoyang, the great Han Dynasty. As soon as the edict came out, He Jin's face changed slightly, and the eight people who were entrusted all murmured in their hearts, Han Lingdi As soon as this edict came out, everyone knew that Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty wanted to divide the military power of He Jin, so that the eunuch could control the military power of the forbidden army in Luoyang, the great Han, and fight against He Jin, who controlled the soldiers and horses in the world.Yuan Shao and other officials who were close to He Jin felt disapproving, no matter how his official position changed, he was a member of General He Jin.As for Cao Cao, his identity is embarrassing. Cao Cao’s grandfather, Cao Teng, was an eunuch. People who also attribute him to the bureaucracy.Such an identity puts Cao Cao in a dilemma, and it is not suitable to lean to either side. It is most suitable to be a neutral faction, but as a neutral faction, can he protect himself in such a court political situation?Difficult, really difficult!

After the Hanling Emperor issued two edicts, he withdrew from the court and returned to Beijing.Lu Rui was taken to the palace by the eunuchs, where he made Hou Ye's clothes, issued the seal, and other trivial things that could not be done in the court.Cao Cao had to wait for Lu Rui in the open space outside the meeting hall, and returned to the mansion together when Lu Rui was done.

At this time, the people from the next court also left one after another, and the first to come was the general He Jin, dressed in military uniform.When Cao Cao saw it, he cupped his hands and said, "General."

He Jin looked at Cao Cao, smiled and said, "Congratulations to Meng De, I wanted to recommend it to His Majesty, but I didn't expect that Meng De, who is so talented, would be appreciated by His Majesty so quickly. Meng De, don't forget the past ri's friend."

When Cao Cao heard this, he quickly cupped his hands and said, "You are welcome, General. Aren't the soldiers and horses in the world under the control of the General?"

After hearing this, He Jin laughed and left, Cao Mengde still knows the general idea!

Suddenly, an official said, "Meng De, who are you waiting for here?"

An official said: "You are not waiting for their family's young master, Qi Guohou Lu Rui, Lu Houye, Meng De, you are really good at it."

When Cao Cao heard this, he was at a loss again. Why are these two talking in a strange way?What do you care about yourself?Just when Cao Cao was puzzled, Xu You came up to meet him, showing a flattering smile, and said, "Meng De?"

Xu You smiled and said: "Meng De, you are too unkind. If you have such a good thing, give it to Your Majesty, and don't leave it to us friends. What Rui Er contributed is deeply loved by His Majesty, Rui Er After entering Qi Guohou, Meng De also got the official position of Dian Jun Xiaowei, Meng De, you have earned enough, give me some of the magic pills, Ziyuan has no heirs in his family."

When Cao Cao heard it, he realized that it was a big black pot, another big black pot. At first they thought that Cao Cao used Lu Rui to offer elixir to Han Xiandi, and then won the appreciation of Han Xiandi, so they sealed it The official position of Cao Cao, the Dianjun Xiaowei, Cao Cao, the Dianjun Xiaowei, is the Dianjun Xiaowei of the Forbidden Army, that is, the school lieutenant who manages the codes and laws of the Forbidden Army. Forbidden Army, a family soldier who manages the Taiwei Mansion.When Cao Cao heard this, he was furious. I, Cao Mengde, should be a man. How could I use such despicable means to obtain an official position?Lieutenant Dianjun?I Cao Mengde's five-color stick in Luoyang Beiduwei has made many high-ranking officials change their colors. I Cao Cao's official position is obtained by speculation?No, it depends on strength!

Cao Cao glanced at Xu You, and said, "Ziyuan, Rui'er found the elixir, and now it's in Rui'er's hands. I, Cao Mengde, don't have it. If you want to ask, go ask Rui'er!"

When Xu You heard it, he became angry too. Cao Mengde, you are too shameless. You used your adopted son again and again, a three-year-old child. Your adopted son is still so arrogant. I, Xu Ziyuan, begged you so much, but you refused.

Xu You glanced at Cao Cao, flung off his sleeves, snorted, and left.The rest of the colleagues who wanted to ask for the elixir saw that Xu You was embarrassed, so they were embarrassed to ask Cao Cao, and they all left with disdainful eyes.

Seeing everyone leaving, Yuan Shao stepped forward, patted Cao Cao and said, "Meng De, I haven't seen you for a long time, I didn't expect Meng De to become more and more treacherous, even using three-year-old children, Baixianglou cheated us so much money , and now he is using pills to win His Majesty's favor, Meng De, don't be too shameless." After speaking, Yuan Shao left without looking back.

After everyone left, Cao Cao stayed alone in the palace, feeling so depressed that he was blamed again, hum, whoever told Ruier about the joy in the boudoir must be investigated and dealt with, and he must be killed!Baixianglou?By the way, there is also the matter of Baixianglou, my private money of Cao Mengde, by the way, Cao Zhong, this dead boy, who spent so much money on himself, first vent his anger on this bastard!

Cao Cao did not expect that for Lu Rui, he would bear the blame of history again. Chen Shou's "Three Kingdoms. Wei Shu. The Biography of Emperor Wu": The emperor is a hero, but his personal morality is bad. Sui Wenxin Hou entered the Danling Emperor, and took the official position by skill, and he no longer had the integrity of the Luoyang Five Color Stick in his early years.

When Cao Cao went underground, he was so angry, my God, I am Emperor Wei Wu!With the country conquered by force, the official position of the big man needs to be taken by skill?I got it by my strength!Alas, poor Cao Cao has made another big scapegoat!

Soon, Lu Rui was brought out by the palace servants. Cao Cao took Lu Rui and went straight back to the Taiwei's mansion. Cao Cao didn't want to stay outside for a moment. Once he went outside, he would definitely be surrounded. Although Luoyang was big , only Taiwei's Mansion is Cao Cao's moment of peace!

After Cao Song resigned, he was starting to return to Qiao County, because Cao Song had a big business in Luoyang, and he still had a lot of property to deal with, so after resigning, he continued to stay in Luoyang and planned to use it for a month Time to deal with their own family business.Lu Rui also used this time to study swordsmanship as soon as possible, hoping to bring out all of Wang Yue's unique skills!

Seven days have passed since Lu Rui became a Marquis, and many dignitaries who gave gifts have come to pay a visit to the Cao Mansion. On this day, Lu Rui got up early, and after practicing sword skills with Wang Yue, he took a bath and returned to his own in the room.

As soon as Lu Rui took a sip of tea in the room, Cao Zhong came to see Lu Rui, Lu Rui was taken aback, why did this kid come to see him?Lu Rui didn't think much about it, so he asked his servants to bring Cao Zhong in. The housekeeper of Cao's house still had a certain status in Cao's house.

As soon as Cao Zhong saw Lu Rui, he bowed flatteringly and said, "Congratulations, son, for becoming the Marquis of Qi. From now on, you will enjoy endless glory and wealth."

Lu Rui looked at Cao Zhong. This Cao Zhong was a servant who grew up in Cao's parents. Because of his cleverness, Cao Song took a fancy to him. He was appointed as the housekeeper of Cao Cao's first room at a young age. It is a talent.Lu Rui smiled and asked, "Cao Zhong, why are you here?"

Cao Zhong smiled and said, "Master Hou, this time I came here to congratulate the young master, and I came here to give him a gift." After finishing speaking, he showed a wretched smile.

Lu Rui looked at Cao Zhong's appearance and felt like throwing up. He thought of a sentence from later generations. No one asked about it after studying hard for ten years. Once he gained power, the world knows. Although there is no imperial examination system yet, it is used to describe the current Lu Rui. It was so apt.Lu Rui looked at Cao Zhong, ate a bite of dim sum, and said, "Gift? What's the gift, Cao Zhong, what's the gift, quickly show it to Master Ben."

Cao Zhong smiled inwardly, he was still a child, and said, "You come in."

I saw a four or five-year-old girl walking in. After seeing Lu Rui, she knelt down and said, "Little girl Guo, please meet the young master." As soon as Guo raised her head, Lu Rui was stunned, the little beauty Ah, melon-seeded face, willow-leaf eyebrows, pointed ears, small cherry mouth, slender fingers, decent manners, although only four or five years old, but it can be seen that she is a beauty embryo.

Lu Rui looked at Cao Zhong, Cao Zhong said with a smile: "Young master, this is a maid bought by the villain in Luoyang City. The young master is new to the Marquis, and he must need a maid who can serve by his side, so Xiao People, just..." At this point, Cao Zhong looked at Lu Rui obsequiously, waiting for Lu Rui's reply.

After hearing this, Lu Rui realized that Cao Zhong wanted to bribe himself, and find such a little maid to serve him, hehe, this kid is still a sensible person.Lu Rui looked at Mrs. Guo and said, "What a beautiful little sister, she must have a lot of money." Although Lu Rui is young, she still knows about the business of maids. In the Han Dynasty, this was often done by rich families. , Lu Rui is used to it, and knows that maids are expensive, especially such good-looking and young maids.

Cao Zhong smiled and said: "Master Hou was joking. It is a great honor to serve Master Hou. The mere money is just a foreign thing. I hope Master Hou will accept it."

Lu Rui nodded. Anyway, I was short of a maid in my room, and it happened that Cao Zhong sent it, which saved me trouble. I would need a maid after I left Cao's mansion. Dressing and taking a shower by yourself is quite comfortable, especially for beautiful women.Thinking of this, Lu Rui said: "Are you going to give her to me? In that case, I will stay. Cao Zhong, you go down." Lu Rui would never refuse gifts from people in Cao's house.

Cao Zhong arched his hands and said, "Yes, Lord Hou." But Cao Zhong did not withdraw.

Lu Rui looked at Cao Zhong suspiciously and said, "Cao Zhong, why don't you go out, I still have to rest?"

Cao Zhong said with a smile: "Master Hou, I went out to buy goods a few days ago, and I just returned to the mansion yesterday, and I heard that the master once looked for me, and he was very angry. The master is not happy, so if the master punishes the villain, I hope the young master can help the villain to intercede."

When Lu Rui heard it, it turned out that this was the case. Cao Zhong sent a maid to please him because he was afraid of being punished by Cao Cao. It seemed that Cao Cao had made a big mistake. He was so depressed and wanted to find someone to vent.All this stemmed from the gathering in Baixianglou. Cao Zhong's extravagance in Baixianglou cost Cao Cao a lot of money. Now Cao Cao wants to settle accounts with Cao Zhong.

Thinking of this, Lu Rui suddenly had a plan, hey, Cao Zhong, you sent it to your door, don’t blame Ben Hou Ye, Lu Rui glanced at Cao Zhong, then jumped down, pinched Guo Shi’s little face Said: "Okay, for the sake of sending this beautiful sister, if Father Zhong spanks your ass, I will tell you not to spank, that's fine."

When Cao Zhong heard this, he was secretly delighted that he had succeeded, and then he cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Lord Hou, the villain is leaving." After finishing speaking, he withdrew.

After Cao Zhong withdrew, Lu Rui looked at Mrs. Guo and asked, "What's your name? Where are you from?"

Mrs. Guo walked up to Lu Rui and said: "Master Hou, the little girl's surname is Guo, and her name is Zhao. She is from Nanjun. When she came to the mansion, Cao Steward gave her the name Ling'er." Usually she enters a rich family and works as a maid. They can't have their own names anymore, they can only be the names bestowed by their masters.

Lu Rui said: "Well, I will call you Ling'er from now on. By the way, you should still call me Young Master, or Young Master Lu in the Cao Mansion, and the Hou Ye should not call you." Lu Rui always lives in Cao Cao's house now, No du li out of the house, Hou Ye, Hou Ye called, it doesn't sound good, Cao Song is just a Hou Ye, Cao Cao doesn't have a title yet, he keeps calling, isn't it not for Cao Cao's face, an adopted son, the title belongs to you On top of that, what face do you Cao Mengde have?

Ling'er is also a smart person, and then said: "Understood, my lord."

Lu Rui nodded, then walked in front of Ling'er, looked left and right, and turned around a few times, hehe, she is really a beauty, with a suitable distance.Especially this little pink face, as soon as Lu Rui saw it, he wanted to pinch it.

Lu Rui squeezed it with his little hand, and Ling'er's face became even redder, and then Ling'er seemed to be shy again, avoiding Lu Rui's little hand, Lu Rui thought to himself, hehe, the little sister will still be shy, it's fun, and then asked: "Ling'er Son, why don't you pinch it for me?" After finishing speaking, he put up his waist and pretended to be angry.

Seeing Lu Rui's eyes widen, Linger trembled, and then said weakly: "Young master, there is a difference between superiority and inferiority. I am a servant, so it is not good for others to see."

When Lu Rui heard it, there was a difference between superiority and inferiority?This little girl actually knows the difference between superiority and inferiority?It seems that I don't want to be born in a poor family.Lu Rui asked: "Ling'er, you still know the difference between superiority and inferiority. What family were you born into?"

Ling'er looked at Lu Rui, and then said: "My lord, Ling'er was originally the daughter of the prefect of Nanjun. She was born as an official since she was a child, but she was displaced here after the Yellow Turban Rebellion."

When Lu Rui heard it, the prefect of Nanjun, a high official, did not expect that such an official's family would be exiled to Luoyang. It seems that the Yellow Turban Rebellion had a great impact on the big man. I didn't think much of it when I read history books before. It was just a sentence But in the current situation, the daughter of a prefect of a county is like this, so what about the poor people?

While Lu Rui was chatting with Ling'er, a servant entered Lu Rui's room and asked, "Master?"

Lu Rui glared at the servant, nainai, I was talking to the maid, what are you doing here without eyes, Lu Rui said displeasedly: "What are you doing here?"

The servants were taken aback when they saw it. Lu Rui is now a celebrity in Cao's mansion, a marquis. If he provokes him, his life may be lost.The servant hurriedly said: "My lord, this is what Steward Cao asked me to hand over to you. It is Ling'er's contract of sale." After speaking, he presented the contract of sale and withdrew.

When Lu Rui heard it, this Cao Zhong was really smart. He didn't sell himself a deed just now, but now he is very good at taking advantage of people's hearts. Just remind yourself, don't forget to help him intercede in front of Cao Cao, When Lu Rui smiled, he really regarded me as a three-year-old child!Take advantage of the child's coquettish desire to get the things he likes!

Lu Rui picked up the deed of sale, which had Ling'er's date of birth, ancestral home, name, and trade name on it.

Lu Rui saw that Guo Zhao, styled Queen, was from Nanjun and the second daughter of the prefect of Nanjun.Queen Guo?Cao Pi's queen?Lu Rui hurriedly asked: "Ling'er, do you still have words?"

Ling'er nodded and said: "Returning to my son, yes, when Ling'er was born, her father said that Ling'er was the king of girls, so she was called Queen, Queen Guo."

When Lu Rui heard this, he was stunned, darling, I made a great empress of Wei!Ha ha ha ha!
