Chapter 493: Lu Lingqi: What if I killed Tong Yuan!
Xuzhou, Xiapi City!
Xia Houyuan is here...
It also brought two exciting pieces of news.
First, Lu Yu was conferred the title of imperial envoy by the emperor, and Cao Cao even handed over the school affairs office to Lu Yu.
This is too big!
You know, the imperial censor is just a title, but the school affairs office is the actual supervisory official, responsible for the life and death of the officials!
According to Xia Houyuan's account, Cao Cao specially appointed two deputies for Lu Yu in the school affairs office. One was Guo Jia and Guo Fengxiao, and the other was Ju Shou, who claimed to have been sentenced to death!
This is even more meaningful.
Lu Yu could somewhat understand Lao Cao's thoughts. Since then, he had proposed the abolition of the "poll tax" and the implementation of the new policy of "dividing every man into an acre". Although it was not implemented, Cao Cao always took it to heart.
In this regard, Cao Cao's heart was like a clear mirror. The source of the turmoil in the world was the turmoil in the human heart.
The turmoil among people's hearts is due to the fact that a large amount of land is in the hands of a few wealthy clans.
However, the heavy poll tax is a drop in the bucket for these wealthy clans who have thousands of fertile lands, but it is a heavy burden for the common people!
Cao Cao specially handed over the school affairs office to Lu Yu...
Starting from this point, there is no ulterior motive!
Perhaps, it contains the vision of this New Deal.
Of course, this news needs to be understood in more depth.
It doesn't really matter whether Lu Yucheng failed to become a censor. What's important is that Cao Cao became the prime minister and general manager of all officials as he wished. This undoubtedly completely emptied the Han Dynasty and the emperor!
In Lu Yu's view, this marks that Wei Wu Yangbian's hegemony has entered a new chapter, which he is happy to see.
As for the second article.
"General Xiahou..." Lu Yu faced Xiahou Yuan, with questions on his forehead: "What is going on? It's so good, why is it that the emperor granted marriage, and how come there are two ladies from the same house? I'm not ready yet..."
"Also, have you asked my sister about this? Does she agree?"
A series of questions were thrown up.
Thrown to this, Xia Houyuan, who was a "good brother" one moment, became his father-in-law the next.
"Actually, I was also surprised that the emperor granted me marriage!"
Xia Houyuan explained: "However, since the marriage has been granted, Miss Cai Yan has naturally been informed. Of course, Ziyu, I know you can't accept it for a while. After all, your sister is my eldest brother's sister.
Your sworn elder brother is also my elder brother, so..."
Xia Houyuan paused and came up with a compromise. "I've thought about it. For the time being, let's go our separate ways. You call me father-in-law, and I'll call you Brother Lu Yu! This way the hierarchy will not be confused!"
"
Apparently, Xia Houyuan also realized a serious problem. The Cao family and Xiahou family were in chaos because of Lu Yu alone!
Of course…
It was acceptable for Xia Houyuan to pay some verbal price for his daughter to marry such a good son-in-law.
Well…
Lu Yu was still a little confused and dizzy!
Is this "the emperor bestows marriage"?
They are still two wives of a Houfu, who are obedient and daring... Fortunately, Lu Bu just took the initiative to ask Lu Lingqi to withdraw from the candidate of the Houfu's wife, otherwise... Lu Yu felt that his Houfu would also be in chaos!
Of course, Xia Houjuan... Lu Yu had heard about it. He was a good-natured person with a good heart and a beautiful appearance. He had also made great contributions in the defense of Xudu. He thought he would be a good candidate for his wife!
Can…
Princess Liu Xue?
Who is it?
In Lu Yu's memory, there is a record in "Book of the Later Han" that she was the only daughter of Han Ling Emperor Liu Hong. In the third year of Guanghe, Liu Hong canonized her as Princess Wannian. As for who is her mother? History
There is no research on it.
However...according to the meaning of the marriage edict, Princess Wannian was the daughter of Empress Song. She was considered the eldest daughter of the Han Dynasty, and her status was very noble.
"General Xiahou..." Lu Yu continued to open his mouth.
I never thought that Xia Houyuan would quit. "You still call me general?"
Well…
Lu Yu suddenly felt that he was a generation inferior!
"Ahem..." After a slight cough, Lu Yu didn't even know what to call him. Everyone has his own thing, how about... I call you brother, and you call me son-in-law?
"Xiahou..."
Lu Yu originally wanted to call him Brother Xiahou, but Lu Yu decided not to do so and decided to be more direct.
"Father-in-law." Lu Yu opened his mouth and said, "Does Prime Minister Cao send you here to ask me to return to Xudu City immediately to get married?"
"That's right!"
you!"
To know…
Xia Houyuan now knows Lu Yu's identity.
Lu Yu is the eldest son of his eldest brother Cao Cao, and he is also the unofficial future heir apparent and the successor to his great cause.
Although it is still a bit far away, if Juaner marries him, it is possible that Feng Yi will dominate the world in the future!
Because of the support of the Cao family and the Xiahou family, this is very possible.
Therefore, Cao Cao was not as anxious as Xia Houyuan in choosing this auspicious day.
hehe…
Of course, Lu Yu could only laugh!
Damn it, he doesn’t even know the date, date, or candidate of his wedding, it’s like opening a blind box!
Alas, helplessness, this is the helplessness of arranged marriage in feudal society!
Feelings in my heart...
Lu Yu said.
"Well, it's already evening today, let's go tomorrow...at noon tomorrow, the class will return to the court!" Lu Yu immediately ordered.
I've been away from home for too long, it's time to go back!
It’s time to go back and get a wife!
I don’t know whether Sister Zhaoji is satisfied or not with these two wives!
…
…
Xiapi City, Wanhua Pavilion, Xianggui on the third floor!
The night is melting, and through the window, you can see the dark sky dotted with stars, and the light breeze blows, bringing up the past.
Under the dark moonlit night, the sparse light of the moon reflected the cheeks of a father and daughter in Ge Yu.
However, the father's cheeks were a little pale, while the daughter's cheeks were haggard.
Lu Bu and Lu Lingqi have been chatting for a long time.
Lu Lingqi always kneels...
And Lu Bu seemed to feel a touch of regret from the bottom of his heart. He pressed his hands on the window helplessly, looked at the bright moon, and closed his eyes in silence!
"Dad, it was my daughter who was wrong...but...but my daughter didn't know, then Lu Yu..."
Before Lu Lingqi could finish speaking...
Lu Bu turned around and glared at her.
Lu Lingqi hesitated for a second and spoke again: "But...but my daughter didn't know that it was Mr. Lu who rescued her father in Baimen Tower. Otherwise...otherwise, how could my daughter go to Changshan to learn martial arts as a teacher, and how could she kill Hou Cheng and Wei Xu?"
How could the others... be plotting to kill Mr. Lu?"
call…
Lu Lingqi blurted out these words, and Lu Bu let out a long sigh.
Hou Cheng, Wei Xu, Cheng Lian, Song Xian, the seller Qiu Rong, deserve to die...
My daughter won’t lose anything if she kills them!
But Lu Lingqi's assassination of Lu Yu was simply too sinful.
What's more, this is no longer as simple as repaying kindness with hatred. This is simply murdering one's own husband, which is treason.
In the past, the agreement that Lu Bu finally made with Lu Yu and the perfect "position" arranged for Lu Lingqi was "made" to death by herself.
What a pity...what a pity!
Lu Bu only felt that things were unpredictable, regretful, and uncomfortable!
"It's just that I've spoiled you since you were a child and let you develop a temperament that's not afraid of the sky or the earth!" Lu Bu sighed with emotion...
He blurted out these words...
Lu Lingqi took off the hairpin, held the hairpin with one hand, and pointed the sharp point of the hairpin at her neck with the other hand.
She shook her long hair. "Dad, my daughter knows that she repaid a favor with a grudge, which is treason. My father is speechless in front of Mr. Lu, so...then the daughter can die to apologize, right?"
As she spoke, Lu Lingqi really planned to use her wrists.
Who would have thought that Lu Bu turned around and immediately snatched the hairpin from Lu Lingqi's hand.
His tone was still as cold as ice.
"Death? Is it useful for you to die?"
"Is it... to apologize with death? Isn't that even...?" Lu Lingqi was still arguing, but what came to her mind was the scene of Lu Yu "humiliating" her today...
Let her take off her clothes one by one!
Even if there is... a reason, it is still too humiliating, no, it is too shameful!
Lu Bu's eyes became even colder. "After you die, have you ever considered your mother, your little mother, your sister? Originally, their situation would be better and safer! But... because of you...
"
"mother?"
Lu Lingqi felt that this title was too unfamiliar. It seemed that she had not heard her father mention it for so many years.
...When Lu Bu came to Xuzhou in the past, in order to unite with the Danyang faction in Xuzhou, he specially married the daughter of Cao Bao, the leader of the Danyang faction. For this reason, he could only let his original wife, Mrs. Yan, remain anonymous!
Only Lu Bu and Chen Gong knew about this matter, not even Lu Lingqi and Diao Chan!
"Mom? Still alive?"
Lu Lingqi's pupils widened.
Lu Bu pulled his daughter up, and there seemed to be a hint of relief in his cold tone.
Gu Qin
——"Follow me!"
…
In the early morning, on the outskirts of Xiapi City, a dawn breeze gently passed through this quiet village.
This wind is like a pot of old wine, intoxicating the trees, bamboos and crops in the fields behind an ordinary farmer's house.
The sound of "rustling" is endless.
In the fields, the sounds of frogs and insects come and go, one wave after another...
"Quack quack quack!"
Amidst the sound of frogs, Lu Bu led Lu Lingqi, father and daughter, up here.
Lu Lingqi was wondering, but Lu Bu stretched out her hand, and the two of them stopped, looking silently at this ordinary house from a distance.
"father…"
Lu Lingqi opened her mouth to ask what happened.
"Shh!" Lu Bu signaled her to be silent, and the father and daughter waited here quietly in such a tacit understanding.
It seems that something is about to happen!
Finally, the door of this ordinary farmhouse opened...
A farmer walked out of it, carrying a hoe, as if he was about to start a day of farming.
Behind the farmer, another woman walked out. She was wearing a hat and holding a swaddling baby, as if she was sending the man away.
Because it was too early, the baby hadn't woken up yet.
But the two parted reluctantly, and the woman put on the man's clothes.
It seems that this is an ordinary everyday life for a farm couple.
Lu Lingqi didn't feel anything at all...
But after the farmer left, Lu Lingqi noticed that the farmer's woman had placed the baby, took off her hat, and sat in the yard. She began to make various meats into dried meat.
This is an essential task for farmers in October. By the end of this month, agricultural work will be almost over. Some farmers will use the koji made in July to make wine, and they will also dry the meat into dried meat before the twelfth lunar month.
winter!
certainly…
These are not the important points. The important point is that when the peasant woman took off her hat, Lu Lingqi recognized her at a glance!
She...she...she is my own mother.
That's right, this woman is Lu Bu's former wife, Mrs. Yan!
"Mother...mother..."
Lu Lingqi opened her mouth subconsciously, but because the distance was too far, and because Lu Bu waved his hand towards her, signaling her not to shout.
The sound of "Mother" didn't spread very far.
Even so, countless tears were swirling in Lu Lingqi's eyes, about to burst out.
In just two days, she felt... ten years, twenty years...
First, the father who died in Baimenlou returned safely...
Then again, my mother, who has been “dead” for nearly eight years, is still alive!
Lu Lingqi felt that her life suddenly changed from great sadness to great joy, and her tears were tears of joy...
etc…
That’s not right!
Lu Lingqi suddenly turned her head to her father, Lu Bu. If her mother was still alive, then why? Her father said she had died eight years ago?
If my mother was still alive, how could she marry an ordinary farmer...
Her husband is... the unparalleled God of War, Lu Bu!
Lu Lingqi's brows were raised, and her eyebrows were filled with question marks.
And Lu Bu's words came out at the right time...
The tone is extremely calm!
"Lingqi, you must be surprised. Why is your mother still alive? Why is your mother already married? These are all because..."
Lu Bu paused for a moment. "Because your mother has never died... Her previous departure was for the sake of the overall situation. I have placed her in this farmhouse until... until the so-called 'Death in Baimenlou'!"
call…
Lu Lingqi took a long breath, and for a moment, she even felt like she was in a dream.
Can…
She pinched her arm violently, and the extremely real pain made her realize that all of this was real.
"father…"
Before Lu Lingqi could speak, Lu Bu's words came out again. "'Death in Baimenlou', my father was saved from the execution ground by Lu Yu. From that moment on, my father changed his name to 'Lü Ying' and forgot about the past. I don't want people to know that my father is still alive and cause unnecessary trouble."
The dispute! As for your mother..."
"When she first heard the news that I died in Baimen Tower, she was heartbroken and cried all day long. Lu Yu told me all this and asked me to make a decision...whether to see your mother and tell her the truth!"
"And my decision is to say goodbye to the Lu Bu once and for all. Maybe... From the past, I was forced to let her remain anonymous. From the day she selflessly dedicated herself to me, my fate with her has come to an end! Now I,
I just want to silently protect you, your mother, Diao Chan, and Ling Ju..."
Speaking of which…
A rare tear fell from Lu Bu's eyes.
Lu Lingqi nodded in understanding.
Lu Bu seemed to be talking. He squatted down and signaled Lu Lingqi to squat down, so that... they would be less likely to be discovered by Madam Yan!
He doesn't want to break the peace and ease of Mrs. Yan's current life!
"Lingqi, do you know? What does your mother do throughout the year when she lives in this country?"
this…
Lu Lingqi did not interrupt Lu Bu's words. She knelt down and listened carefully while looking at her mother in the distance.
She had a feeling that her father now was completely different from the unruly father he once was!
——"On the first Ding day and the first Hai day of the first ten days of the first lunar month, your mother will sacrifice to the ancestors and the god of agriculture together with her man, praying for them to bless this year's harvest. Then throughout January, your mother will move
Plant some trees, such as bamboo, pine, cypress, etc.!"
——"In the middle of the month, when the farmers were farming, your mother began to take out the stuffing from the winter clothes and change them into summer clothes. The farmers said this was called 'rejuvenating the clothes'! In February, the elm trees will produce elm pods.
The pods can be used as food, your mother will also collect elm pods, steam them first and then dry them in the sun!"
——"In March, on the third day of the lunar month, your mother will help the man plant melons without hesitation. From the third day of March to the Shangsi Festival, it is also the time to collect mugwort leaves, black fern, and catkins. These are herbal medicines that can be sold.
The doctor wants to change some money."
——"In April, the soil can be plowed for low-level fields. These lands can be planted with food crops such as japonica rice, or oil crops such as flax..."
…
Mention Mrs. Yan’s daily life.
For a whole year and twelve months, Lu Bu had every treasure in his family.
He has always been a good man. Although he kept Mrs. Yan out of the house, he still paid close attention to Mrs. Yan's life, whether he was in Xuzhou or not.
As a matter of fact... he had never cared about agricultural affairs, but because of Mrs. Yan, he actually became very familiar with them.
only…
"Dad..." Lu Lingqi started, "Wouldn't dad be angry if my mother marries someone else?"
"Angry?" Lu Bu laughed. He shook his head, and then turned his head to the sky. "Once, I thought that only if I kept killing people and expanding my territory could the people around me live a good life."
"But...because of the marriage with the Xuzhou Danyang Sect, I have to arrange for your mother to live in a farmhouse. Is this a good life for her?"
Lu Bu paused for a moment. "But... since I died, from Lu Yu's letter to me, I found that your mother is getting happier and happier!"
"She got married in February. Before she got married... Lu Yu sent several letters in succession, asking what I meant... But I feel that since Lu Bu is dead, your mother should naturally be able to pursue her own happiness!"
"That man..."
At this point, Lu Bu choked up. "That man, known as Er Niu, is a well-known honest man in this village. With him, your mother will live a better life, calmer and more comfortable. You, I will not break her."
The happiness and peace that we finally found in troubled times!"
actually…
After the reshaping of Bingzhou, from Wenhou Lu Bu to Jiuyuan Lu Fengxian, Lu Bu seemed to have changed into a different person.
He is transformed from the depths of his soul...
What he cares about now is "love" more than the illusory material things and false fame!
Since the moment of "Death in Baimenlou", he has seen through and seen through the intrigues in this world. Now he only wants to protect the people he wants to protect.
And this emotion...through a series of words, he wanted to convey it to Lu Lingqi, so that she could understand...the painstaking efforts of a father.
"Dad...what have you experienced these years?"
Lu Lingqi opened her mouth and said...
Lu Bu was speechless. He stretched out his hand and stroked Lu Lingqi's long hair.
“I have experienced everything that needs to be experienced!”
"When dad was alive, he could protect you, your mother, your little mother, and your sister... But if something happens to dad one day, then who of you can protect you?"
Lu Bu shook his head helplessly.
"Lu Yu has promised his father to marry you. In this way, no matter whether his father is still alive or not, at least he will protect the people he wants to protect. In this troubled world, you will be safe and sound! But...but...your behavior...
My father just felt unwilling to mess up all his plans!"
Got it...
Lu Lingqi completely understood at this moment, and he understood her father's painstaking efforts.
His father kept his name anonymous, and he made an agreement with Lu Yu. Wasn't everything his father did... always for the sake of this family?
And she...she, Lu Lingqi, besides destroying her father's hard work?
What exactly was done?
"Dad...I..." Lu Lingqi opened her mouth, but the words stopped abruptly when she reached her lips. "My daughter will make up for the trouble she caused by herself?"
"How can you be happy? Is it possible that you can marry Lu Yu again?" Lu Bu asked immediately.
"Why not?" Lu Lingqi bit her lip tightly, as if...she made a difficult decision in her heart. She made the final choice between her father and another important man.
——"What if...what if I kill master Tong Yuan?"
——"Even if you bear the infamy of killing your master, is this enough to make up for your fault?"
