Chapter 487: The Son of Heaven bestows the marriage, two ladies from one mansion!
The two palaces face each other from a distance, and the two palaces are more than a hundred feet apart.
An almost perfect replica of the Luoyang Palace of the past!
Today, the Xuducheng Imperial Palace is just like before... it is still a courtyard with a "LV" shaped structure. There is a roof-covered compound road connecting the north and south palaces, seven miles long!
The so-called compound road is three parallel roads, the middle one is the royal road dedicated to the emperor and the queen, and the two sides are the roads used by the ministers and waiters.
Every ten steps, there is a guard, standing on both sides, very powerful.
The north gate of the South Palace and the south gate of the North Palace face each other with two towers, which are exactly those ten words - "the two palaces face each other from a distance, and the two towers are more than a hundred feet apart."
now…
On the complex road connecting the Xuanwu Gate of the South Palace and the Zhuque Gate of the North Palace, footsteps could be heard one after another. Queen Fushou and several attendants were rushing from the South Palace to the North Palace.
They were walking on a road that was not often traveled, which led to the Yongning Hall in the northeast corner of the North Palace!
Speaking of which, Nangong is the place where the emperor and his officials congratulate and discuss government affairs. The building layout is neat and orderly, and the palaces and pavilions are lined up in rows!
The main palaces in the palace are located on the north-south central axis.
From north to south they are: Sima Gate, Duan Gate, Quefei Gate, Quefei Hall, Zhanghua Gate, Chongde Hall, Zhongde Hall, Qianqiu Longsui Hall and Hepingshuo Hall.
but…
At this moment, the Yongning Palace that Queen Fushou was rushing to was not in the "core" palace complex.
Yongning Hall is the palace that Emperor Ling gave to his eldest daughter, Princess Wannian, when he was in the Luoyang Palace. Liu Xue liked to be quiet, so... the late emperor gave her the quietest palace in the palace.
Even after moving to Xudu City, Liu Xue still lived in Yongning Hall.
"Tap tap tap..."
Queen Fushou's footsteps became more and more urgent. Seeing this, the palace people leaned on both sides of the complex road and bowed their heads in salute.
He waited until the queen passed by before whispering.
seem…
This is the first time that the Queen has been so uneasy.
Same...
In the past two years... this is the first time that the Queen has gone to Princess Wannian of Yongning Hall.
Faintly...many people in the palace felt that something was going to happen, but they couldn't say exactly what it was!
An hour later.
After bypassing the corridor, Queen Fushou entered the Yongning Hall. He looked around anxiously, but heard the faint sound of a piano behind the flowers and trees.
Taking a few steps forward, I saw a woman in white clothes, a white hat, and a cloak playing the piano among the flowers.
But if it’s not the Wannian Princess Liu Xue, who else could it be?
This is a song called "Gongwu Crossing the River". The rhyme is strong and violent. Fu Shou couldn't help being stunned by such a high-pitched and fierce rhythm.
And at the same time…
Liu Xue also noticed Fu Shou. She continued to play the piano with one hand and gently took off her hood with the other hand, staring at Fu Shou.
Fu Shou's sincere and expectant eyes met the sincere and sad eyes of Wannian Princess Liu Xue. Such a close distance actually made Fu Shou feel intoxicated and worried, and the air seemed to tremble slightly when he breathed.
And just then...
It seems to be due to distraction...
It seems to be for some other reason.
One of the strings in Liu Xue's hand actually broke, and Fu Shou thought it was accidental.
Who would have thought... all the strings were cut by Liu Xue. Fu Shou trembled in fright, and a piece of silk silk in his hand fell to the ground... There were clearly words on the silk silk, and the accompanying maid hurriedly went there.
Shi, Fu Shou waved his hand to signal everyone to leave.
Princess Wannian Liu Xue also waved her hand and told the servants and maids of Yongning Palace to step back...
"Here!"
Following the replies from the maids, only Fu Shou and Liu Xue were left in Yongning Palace.
"Tap..."
The rainbow light dissipated, the lotus steps moved lightly, and Liu Xue walked towards Fu Shou.
She was dressed in a white dress and white dress, with three thousand black hairs sliding smoothly down her shoulders, over her waist, and up to her delicate buttocks.
Her eyebrows are like a painting, her muscles are like ice and snow, and her pretty face is slightly thin, but it is perfectly contoured, making people couldn't help but secretly praise her, she is such an elegant beauty.
"Unexpectedly, His Majesty invited the Queen to come after all."
Liu Xue suddenly bowed to Fu Shou.
One is a princess and the other is a queen. This is the proper etiquette.
Fu Shou hurriedly helped her up and couldn't help but hold Liu Xue's wrist, "Sister Xue, you are the eldest princess, you cannot salute me!"
Liu Xue blinked her eyes, then lowered her head and picked up the silk, softly chanting: "What is this?"
As she spoke, she pulled out the silk piece by piece and saw the words on it - "Please eldest sister to save the Han Dynasty from fire and water!"
call…
Liu Xue breathed a sigh of relief, slightly surprised, and then the expression on her cheeks softened a lot.
"Sure enough, the rumors among the Han officials are not groundless. Your Majesty... wants me to marry that Baimahou? In exchange for Your Majesty and Cao Sikong... No, to be precise, it should be in exchange for the reconciliation between Your Majesty and Prime Minister Cao, right? ?”
Although Liu Xue lives in the palace.
But she has special channels to hear some "rumors and gossips", no... to be precise, these are not rumors, this is the only choice of the Han court.
The Han Dynasty reconciled and united with the Cao family... and then set its sights on unifying the world. The Han Dynasty needed to 'marriage' with the powerful officials in Cao Ying, just like the Han Dynasty had been sending princesses (maids) out of the country for hundreds of years in exchange for Reconciliation and concession with the Huns!
Of course, wouldn't it be a good story if Zhaojun goes out of the country?
"Sister Xue...you already know, then I...I..." Fu Shou stumbled over his words.
It’s hard to imagine that...the empress, who used to have a noble temperament, looked like she was biting her lips at this moment.
"Sister Xue, you...what do you think?"
Finally, Fu Shou calmed down and asked.
"What can you think?" Liu Xue threw the handkerchief with the writing on it into the pool... "I have two younger brothers. One was poisoned by Dong Zhuo, and the other became Dong Zhuo, Li Jue, and Cao Cao's puppet. They are better than me. It will be much more difficult. As a child of the royal family, this outcome may have been doomed early in the morning."
Speaking of this, Liu Xue paused for a moment. "Ten thousand steps back, I am marrying Baima Hou, and I am not marrying a trafficker and a lackey who slaughters dogs. With his current status and reputation, Lu Ziyu, I am afraid that I will not marry him for ten thousand years." The princess has reached a high level!"
Insightful, transparent!
In the past few days, two incidents... have been discussed a lot among the senior officials of the Han Dynasty headed by the Fu family. It is not an exaggeration to say that they caused an uproar.
The first is Lu Yu's request to be granted the title of "Yushi Dafu".
Everyone knows that Lu Yu's move was not about drinking, but about Cao Cao's position as "Prime Minister"!
The second is that Lu Yu marries Xiahou Juan, the noble daughter of the Xiahou family. If the Han court does not respond, or even secretly causes harm, then... the relationship between Cao Ying and the Han court will be completely extreme and irreparable!
Apart from these two things...
Han Chen was also paying close attention to the actions of the School Affairs Office, and it was obvious... the blade of the School Affairs Office was about to point at the Fu family, the head of the Han Dynasty.
This is already a critical moment for the Han court!
Therefore…
The Han court must make a decision, and the Han officials must make a decision immediately!
"Sister Xue can think like this, and I feel much more at ease..." Fu Shou groaned softly.
Never thought that it would be at this moment.
A "pop" sound...
Liu Xue smiled, the smile was very forced, and the laughter seemed to contain some mockery, a mockery of his own identity, and a mockery of Han Ting's current situation.
The song "Gong Wu Crossing the River" she just played, haha... Gong Wu Crossing the River, Gong... How to cross the river?
"Queen, I have one more thing to say here, I don't know whether I should say it or not!"
Liu Xue spoke again...
"With two wives in a marquis's house, Sister Xue marries Lu Yu in a righteous way. That means she is the benefactor of the Han Dynasty. If Sister Xue has something to say, it's okay to say it! If Sister Xue has any requests, please speak up!" Fu Shou continued...
call…
Liu Xue turned around and walked slowly to the birch tree. There was a deep hatred in her heart. This was the first time she had such strong hatred for the "incompetent" Hanting.
perhaps…
This is the pain caused by the change of identity. From a ten thousand-year-old princess to... to a wife of a marquis, or two ladies of a marquis, a dignified princess of the Han Dynasty, how ridiculous it is to serve the same husband with other women?
The delicate jade hands were raised, and the cuffs looked particularly crystal clear in the sun...
Liu Xue finally blurted out her last words.
"Queen, please tell me, after I marry Marquis Baima, if one day my husband is going to be unfavorable to my younger brother, should I take care of my family? Or should I side with my husband's family?"
this…
Princess Wan's words left Fu Shou speechless.
As a woman, she doesn't know how to answer?
It seems...this era has never been so fair to women!
"well…"
With a long sigh, Fu Shou pondered for a moment, and then he opened his mouth and said: "Since ancient times, it has been difficult to have both loyalty and filial piety, let alone the husband's family and the natal family?"
Speaking of this, Fu Shou paused for a moment and murmured with emotion: "I can't answer Sister Xue's question... However, there is a saying in "Etiquette: Mourning Clothes" - "A woman has three obediences, and there is no special way.
.Therefore, before you are married, you will obey your father; when you are married, you will obey your husband; if your husband dies, you will obey your son.”
"It is also said in "The Rites of Zhou·Tianguan·Nine Concubines" that 'the Nine Concubines are in charge of women's studies and are governed by nine teachings - women's virtues, women's words, women's appearance, women's merits! No matter what, you, my daughter...
The three obediences and four virtues should be correct, right?"
Fu Shou didn't give a direct answer to this, but... the meaning was very clear.
Since there is a rule in "The Rites of Zhou" that "once you marry, obey your husband", then... whether to obey your husband or your clan, it seems... there is no need to study it in detail, right?
Our ancestors have already given accurate answers!
As soon as these words came out, Liu Xue nodded...
Of course, she was somewhat surprised.
I didn’t expect... Fu Shou would answer like this!
Fu Shou's words continued, and it seemed that there was some comfort in these words. "Sister Xue married Baimahou, which has helped Hanting and the Fu family... If there really is Baimahou and Han
When the day comes when the court breaks up, Sister Xue will naturally make the right choice! Just follow your heart in everything. At least...at least...at least Baimahou is still His Majesty's brother-in-law at that time? Isn't it?"
call…
Follow your heart.
Hearing this, Liu Xue's lips curled up slightly, as if...she had found the answer.
True heart...Follow your true heart, right?
Yin Ya bit her lip slightly...
Gu Yuan
Who would have thought?
This Mr. Lu, who has been so powerful in Kyushu in recent years and can be called a legend, can one day...become Liu Xue's husband and the emperor's brother-in-law!
Nothing is permanent...
If there really comes a day when my husband and the Han court have different opinions, then... they should follow their true intentions.
Brother... don’t blame your sister then!
No wonder...no wonder!
…
…
Bingzhou, Yanmen County.
On the martial arts field, Lu Bu was competing with Zhang Yan, Gongsun Zan and Qu Yi.
Zhang Yan wields the sword, Gongsun Zan wields the spear, and Qu Yi wields the spear. The three of them dance like tigers and tigers, while Lu Bu still wields his Fangtian halberd. His movements are fierce and powerful. It is not a big problem to fight one against three!
Just then.
Tian Yu was brought to the martial arts arena by several dragon knights. His brows were furrowed and he shouted several times in succession, but Lu Bu, who was in the middle of the fight, didn't hear it at all!
The halberd wind was still howling. This time, Tian Yu was extremely anxious, but...he couldn't interrupt.
Qu Yi's sharp eyes...saw Tian Yu, and immediately winked at Gongsun Zan and Zhang Yan. After a flash of swords and shadows, the three of them stopped in a tacit understanding, and then saluted Lu Bu respectfully.
"General Shadow is extremely skilled in martial arts. The three of us are no match for him!"
In one word…
"Haha..." Lu Bu laughed. He took the hand towel handed to him by Huben Jun beside him to wipe his sweat, and said with a smile: "It's not as good as before!"
This sentence means a lot!
While talking, Lu Bu noticed Tian Yu and waved. Gongsun Zan, Zhang Yan and Qu Yi knew it was an emergency and came over.
Tian Yuze quickly reported: "Just now, we received the flying pigeon from Taishan County, Yanzhou. The trace of Mr. Yang has been found!"
Hmm…
As soon as these words came out, Lu Bu's eyes narrowed.
Speaking of which, he came to Yanmen with Yang Xiu, and along the way...he didn't like this gentle and elegant student, but...as time went by, he found that this guy's brain was very easy to use!
With his strategy, his martial arts and general strategy can be said to get twice the result with half the effort, and in terms of internal affairs, this kid is a good hand!
In the past few months... without Yang Xiu around, Lu Bu still missed him a little!
I even occasionally think that Tong Yuan, the old immortal, won't make things difficult for him, right?
No wonder his expression suddenly changed when he heard Yang Xiu's trace this time.
"Where?"
Lu Bu immediately asked... "Taishan, now being imprisoned on the mountains of Mount Tai, seems... to be guarded by a group of thieves who call themselves Taishan soldiers!"
call…
Hearing this, Lu Bu was startled!
Taishan soldiers? Zang Ba?
Subconsciously, he thought of his former sworn brother, Zang Ba, who was loyal to Bo Yuntian in a corner of Mount Tai, and his loyal Taishan soldiers and horses!
Since he left the Central Plains and came to Bingzhou, Lu Bu tried his best to forget the past and rarely asked about these brothers in the past. He thought that this was good for them and good for himself!
But... now it was learned that Yang Xiu was imprisoned on Mount Tai? How could Lu Bu remain calm when imprisoned in Zang Ba's hands?
That peaceful heart is already throbbing again and again at this moment!
If Tong Yuan is involved again, this...
Lu Bu's eyes suddenly narrowed.
Tian Yu's words continued. "Not only is there news about Mr. Yang... Mr. Yang also used a trick to spread the word and named 'Lu in trouble'. General Yan Rou speculated that this meant that Mr. Lu was in trouble..."
Huo…
If the whereabouts of Yang Xiu just now only made Lu Bu's mood suddenly flutter, then... as soon as the words "Lu Younan" came out, how could Lu Bu remain calm!
You know, in Lu Yu's opinion... Diao Chan and Ling Ju can live well now, and he can live well in this world. It was never a gift from Cao Cao!
It's Lu Yu...it's the reason why Lu Yu exists!
If you think about it from this perspective...
Whenever Lu Yu makes a mistake, he and everyone he cares about... will...
"Is it related to Mount Tai's army?" Lu Bu asked subconsciously.
"I don't know!" Tian Yu shook his head.
Lu Bu didn't ask much, he immediately picked up Fang Tian's painted halberd and walked to the stable.
Lu Yu is in trouble...
Lu Yu is in trouble!
All he could think about was this: Zang Ba was one of his own, and so was the Taishan Army. We must not flood the Dragon King Temple!
Of course, if it's just the Taishan Army...or Zang Ba wants to be detrimental to Lu Yu, then...it's easy to say!
But what if, the old immortal Tong Yuan takes action... Lu Bu doesn't think that besides himself, there is anyone else who can be Tong Yuan's opponent!
"General Shadow...don't panic!"
Seeing Lu Bu leaving quickly, Tian Yu quickly shouted: "The most urgent task is to report to Mr. Lu quickly so that he can be on guard."
hehe…
After saying this, Lu Bu said "haha", fast horse...is there any horse faster than his red rabbit horse?
tread…
Lu Bu paused in his footsteps and yelled loudly: "My fast horse can travel thousands of miles in a day. It only takes three days to travel from here to Xuzhou! Not to mention the fast horse that rushes to report, even the flying pigeon can't compare with me.
The power of a horse’s feet!”
Speaking of which…
Lu Bu paused for a moment, then colder words came out one after another: "If that old dog dares to touch a hair of Lu Yu, I will cut him into pieces!"
Huo…
As soon as these words came out, Gongsun Zan, Qu Yi and Zhang Yan frowned.
Rarely, they discovered that...the "invincible" Shadow General was angry!
No...he was not angry, but furious!
Tread...
Sonorous and powerful steps resounded throughout the martial arts arena, and not long after...
"Definitely..."
A war horse neighed.
The sound of horse hoofbeats was deafening, and the tiger came out of the gate... Fang Tian's painted halberd was actually covered with a layer of brilliance under the sunlight!
Senhan, biting front!
And so urgent and angry!
…
…
In the palace of Longlou and Fengque, the clouds hide the sun.
Cao Cao has not yet returned from Guandu.
But...the school administration has already taken action.
Just in the morning meeting just now...Xu Chu and a group of school officials ambush the leader of the Han Dynasty and escorted him out. The Han Dynasty officials panicked in an instant...and rolled, crawled, and staggered after him.
However, from the moment Xu Chu showed off his machete...
The whole palace was quiet!
…
At three o'clock in the morning, noisy banging on the door and scoldings continued to be heard from the gate of the Fu family in Xudu City.
The housekeeper knew that the person coming was not a good person from across the door, so he asked in a trembling voice.
"You, who are you?"
——"Is this Fu Wan's mansion? On Cao Sikong's order, the Fu family members were arrested, and the rest of the slaves were guarded on the spot!"
These words were unreasonable, and the housekeeper panicked, but... Fu Wan was not here, and they had no chance to ask the family leader for instructions. At this moment...
With a "bang" sound, the door was forced open.
"What happened to my Fu family?"
Some servants were staggered by the knock, and some got up and grabbed a sergeant, asking in panic.
"snort…"
The only answer was a cold voice. "Colluding with Yuan Shao, such a serious crime? What else is there to quibble about? All of them will be imprisoned!"
For a time, the entire Fu family was in chaos, and countless Han ministers... were in a panic!
…
At noon, inside Weiyang Palace.
Queen Fushou grabbed the emperor Liu Xie and walked towards the west gate of Xudu City.
After careful calculation, Cao Cao will return at noon tomorrow!
"Queen? If we do this...will it be useful?"
Fu Shou chuckled. "Is it useful? Your Majesty...don't you have to do this?"
Emperor Liu Xie rubbed the edict in his hand and finally made up his mind.
This is the edict to confer Cao Cao as Prime Minister!
It was also an edict conferring Lu Yu the title of imperial censor!
What's more...the emperor granted marriage, an edict from two ladies of a prince's house!
——"Summoned to the Chancellor, all civil and military officials were summoned to go out thirty miles from the city to welcome Cao Sikong in triumph..."
——"It is said that the person in charge of etiquette among the nine ministers came to see me by "Feng Changling". I want to discuss with him the wedding of Baimahou and Princess Wannian, the noble daughter of the Xiahou family!"
