Chapter 497 Princess Wannian teases, the doctor of the censor is confused
Huxiang is the one who comes up with the intention;
The speaker is the one who understands the image.
The meaning is expressed in images, and the images are expressed in words.
Chen Gong's words come from an article in "The Book of Changes: Ming Xiang", which is the meaning of the eleven hexagrams in the Book of Changes.
It seems that Chen Gong, who is well versed in the Taoist Heart Sutra, has figured out something!
certainly…
The "xiang" here does not refer to the "elephant", but to the "four elephants and eight trigrams".
But, that's not important.
Because for Lu Xun, he knew every one of these words, and he could roughly understand them together into words, but... it turned into a sentence, and he was a little confused!
"Bo Yan..." Chen Gong didn't explain. He turned around and patted Lu Xun on the shoulder. "You don't have to worry about this matter. Gong Ji and I will take care of it. You just need to study Shanyue's habits. The art of war against Shanyue will be of great use very soon!"
Chen Gong said this with full confidence.
For the Jiangdong Lu family, the problem of money and food has now been solved.
Next, the biggest problem before us is power. We have to find a way to enter Jiangdong's core power circle, and use this as a basis to get more troops.
Still the same sentence...
Because of Jiangdong's special military system.
If the Lu family gets tens of thousands of soldiers and horses from the Sun family, then these tens of thousands of soldiers and horses will belong to the Lu family. Even if Lu Xun dies in battle, Lu Ji will inherit it!
If Lu Ji dies in battle, the other heirs of the Lu family will continue to live on and on, and there will be no reason to return them.
And these soldiers and horses will also become loyal members of the Lu family!
From this point of view…
When the Lu family's soldiers and horses are mastered to a certain extent, they will be able to dominate the political power of Jiangdong. The most direct way to find soldiers and horses is to enter the core circle of power in Jiangdong.
Giving the elephant to Cao Cao was a plan of Chen Gong, with the purpose of helping Sun Yi gain power during the dispute between Sun Quan and Sun Yi.
The conquest of Shanyue was the only way for the Lu family to obtain a large number of soldiers and horses in a short period of time.
Chen Gong is playing a big game of chess.
He thought, in the Central Plains... both Cao Cao and Lu Yu should be able to understand his move, right?
"hehe…"
Thinking of this, Chen Gong's lips curled up into a cheerful smile.
Lu Xun tapped his forehead lightly, feeling that he was listening to everything you said today. Although there were still many questions, Chen Gong's achievements during his time as Lu Mansion's staff were obvious to all. He didn't say anything, and Lu Xun couldn't. Ask more carefully.
"Then it's all thanks to Mr. Chen."
"Don't worry, Boyan." Chen Gong still showed a confident smile. He raised his head and looked towards the north...
He said with emotion: "Bo Yan, the current situation in Jiangdong is much simpler than that in the Central Plains and in the north. Everything is under control!"
Speaking of this, Chen Gong's eyes flashed with light.
With these two obedient Lu family members? It seems that everything has become much simpler!
…
…
On the outskirts of Xudu, within Huangzhuang.
The sound of the piano plucks.
"Hahaha…"
Emperor Liu Xie's sad laughter resounded.
"I had a great chat with my brother-in-law today. My brother-in-law's words were like enlightenment. But there is one thing that I don't understand..."
"Why does my brother-in-law say that whether it is the Prime Minister, me, or the people of the world, we all have a common enemy? Who is this enemy?"
Lu Yu and Liu Xie chatted for a full hour and had a great time.
Lu Yu talked a lot about philosophy to Liu Xie. These topics were like bowls of "poisonous chicken soup", just like Lu Yu was forcibly brainwashed in the circle of friends in his previous life every day...
and…
These "poisonous chicken soups for the soul" are particularly effective for people who are in confusion. This was the first time for Emperor Liu Xie to hear it, so... he felt enlightened!
only…
Lu Yu mentioned another topic, which attracted his attention even more.
That is the common enemy!
The so-called...the Han world, whether it is the emperor, the prime minister, or the common people...their common enemy.
Now the topic has been brought here.
Lu Yu opened his mouth and said: "Your Majesty, this enemy is too powerful. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is your Majesty's father-killing enemy. Isn't it better not to mention it today?"
kill…
The enemy who killed his father?
After Lu Yu finished speaking, Liu Xie and Liu Xue were stunned. Their father was the Ling Emperor, but... in the memory, his father died of illness? Wasn't he killed?
this…
Before Liu Xie and Liu Xue could speak, Lu Yu's words came out first.
"Your Majesty, the princess will probably wonder where the revenge for killing her father came from? Didn't the late emperor pass away on his death bed? It's just that... Your Majesty and the princess have ignored a huge question, that is, what is the disease of the late emperor?"
Look at the expressions of Liu Xie and Liu Xue.
For a moment, Lu Yu suddenly felt.
Perhaps in the future, when it comes to dealing with aristocratic families and fundamentally eliminating the ills of this world, that is, aristocratic families monopolizing land and resources, making the people miserable... Both the emperor and the princess can be fought for.
As the saying goes, there are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests!
"Brother-in-law, you might as well say it directly if you have something to say!" Liu Xie asked with eyebrows raised.
Lu Yu slowly stood up and stood with his hands behind his back.
"Your Majesty, this topic will take a long time to talk about, and we can't finish it in a day or a night. However, your Majesty may wish to listen to and think about some of the questions!"
Lu Yu slowly opened his mouth. "Why did the once majestic Han Empire established by Emperor Guangwu gradually decline? What did your Majesty and the ministers ignore? What factors drove the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Dong Zhuo's entry into the capital, and the separatism of the heroes, so that
The power of the Han Dynasty has fallen? Or even...what is affecting today's trajectory and the course of future history?"
At this point, Lu Yu paused.
"If we don't sort out these things, then we will just talk about war, annexation, civil servants, military generals... all of them are just scratching the surface, and only one leaf is missed!"
"If Your Majesty wants to know the truth about the death of the late Emperor Long Yu, you might as well try to explore, search, and answer the questions I just mentioned."
Lu Yu finally gave up.
He understands.
If you want to guide the emperor to stand against those aristocratic families who monopolize land and resources, it will not be done overnight, nor can it be done with just a few words.
Rather than let Lu Yu explain these things, it is better to raise questions and let His Majesty find out for himself!
Of course, how did Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty die? There are different opinions!
But as long as you check it, no matter how you check it, you can't escape the eternal topic of the family! The noble family!
The power held by the nobles of the Han Empire was so great that it is simply unimaginable...
From the Han emperors who died young, we can also get a glimpse of everything!
In the final analysis, the shortcomings of the Han Dynasty appear to be the debauchery of the "Second Emperor Huan Ling", who opened a Western residence to sell officials and win titles... But in fact, the Second Emperor Huan Ling was just a scapegoat!
The only thing to blame is this era...this era in which the land is in the hands of the gentry and the right to speak is in the hands of the gentry!
certainly…
If we talk about these in depth, we can’t finish them in one day and one night!
Lu Yu simply left this "pass" to Liu Xie and let him figure it out and understand it on his own!
now…
Liu Xie's eyes widened, as if he had heard something incredible.
The late emperor was called fatuous by many people, and the world even called the "two emperors Huan Ling" debauched and extravagant!
However, the answers to these questions mentioned by Lu Yu seemed to lead to many unknown secrets.
The truth behind the death of the late Emperor Long Yu...
Or maybe it is said that the late emperor was not really stupid!
These...Liu Xie is so interested!
"Brother-in-law...this..." Liu Xie wanted to ask directly, but when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them again. "I understand, I will go back and explore now!"
As he spoke, he stood up and walked out the door...
When he came to the door, he seemed to have thought of something, and did not forget to stop and give an order. "It is getting late now, and my brother-in-law has come from afar. He just wants to stay in this palace for one night. The eldest sister also admires Baimahou very much!"
"
At this point, Liu Xie paused and his tone became more determined.
Add four words: "This is the imperial edict! Conquer and return!"
this…
Before Lu Yu could react, Liu Xie had already walked out of the room quickly.
Seems determined...
There must be no mistakes in the matter of Princess Wannian entering the Marquis Mansion, even if the scandal about the royal family is spread in advance... she will not hesitate to do so!
And Princess Liu Xue of Ten Thousand Years seems to have known about it early on...and clearly understands the purpose of her coming here!
"Someone is coming..."
Liu Xue said hello...
"Your Highness the Princess." Several maids walked in slowly.
Liu Xueqian raised her thin hand. "Prepare hot water. I will personally serve and bathe the prince-in-law! He will relieve his fatigue!"
She was as noble as a princess, but at this moment she actually said "serve", a word that could only be used by people of lower status.
certainly…
This is not surprising, ever since she accepted the arrangement of the emperor's brother and agreed to enter the White Horse House!
She has silently regarded Lu Yu as her husband and the man of her life.
Women should obey the three virtues and four virtues: obey their husbands when they get married!
Even a princess should do the same!
not to mention…
Lu Yu's words just now have aroused great interest in Liu Xue. Gu Wei
As a princess of the Han Dynasty... it is extremely precious to be able to marry a man who interests her!
…
…
Xu Ducheng, Prime Minister's Mansion, inside the study.
There are several servants cleaning the courtyard outside the door.
Cao Cao inside the door was half lying on the couch, his eyes slightly closed... He seemed to have a headache, and Cao Ang stood in front of him.
"Father..."
"Sit!" Cao Cao did not open his eyes, but gently waved his hand to signal Cao Ang to sit down.
Cao Ang sat in front of Cao Cao's couch...
"I wonder why the father summoned the child?"
Cao Cao slowly opened his eyes, but his tone became more serious.
"I recently asked Director Cai about your homework. It's outstanding... Even in the Taixue where talents gather, you can be called the best!"
Cao Cao raised his eyes and looked meaningfully at his son in front of him.
Don't hesitate to praise at all.
"Also, during the Battle of Guandu, the big-eared thief attacked Xu Capital. You assisted Zhuge Kongming in garrisoning Xu Capital and annihilated the powerful enemy. You also made a great contribution. My father is very happy!"
Huo…
Cao Ang was a little surprised. In his impression, his father had always been strict.
This was the first time... his father spoke to him so kindly and praised him.
"These are all the contributions of Taixue. I dare not take credit."
Cao Ang replied humbly and politely...
"Not arrogant, not impetuous, very good, very good!" Cao Cao sat up, smiling, and ordered Cao Ang, "Ziyou, bring the map hanging on the wall."
"Yes!" Cao Ang took down the map as instructed and spread it out on the table in front of Cao Cao.
At this time, Cao Cao had already stood up, and rowed his fingers from Xudu City, to Hulao Pass, to the Yellow River, and finally stopped at Yecheng.
Cao Ang originally thought that his father wanted to test his opinions on strategy or strategy.
I never thought about it, but...
"Yuan Shao abolished his eldest son and established a young one. He adopted Yuan Tan, the son of his late wife, to his deceased brother, and made Yuan Shang, the son of his current wife, his successor? This matter... Ang'er, what do you think?"
Huo…
Cao Ang didn't expect that his father would ask such a topic.
Abandoning the elder and establishing the young? This has been a recipe for disaster since ancient times, and it is impossible for my father not to know this.
So…
Why did my father ask that?
Cao Ang frowned, thinking.
Cao Cao suddenly opened his mouth. "My mother died when I was young, and I was raised by Mrs. Ding. Everyone in the family regards you as my eldest son, Cao Cao. Tell me, Yuan Shao's move... What do you think?
How to say it?”
this…
Cao Ang bit his lip lightly, and he suddenly felt that... his father today was a little weird and abnormal!
Could it be... Chongdi?
That's right, just now, Chongdi used a bronze mirror to solve the catastrophe of Shanyang County magistrate. He was extremely smart and agile. His father probably... intended to make Chongdi the heir apparent!
So that’s it!
…
…
The bathroom is surrounded by gauze, like smoke and mist, and the steam of hot water fills the entire boudoir, making it seem like a dream.
Countless maids were pouring flower dew and flower petals into the bathtub. Princess Liu Xue of Ten Thousand Years led Lu Yu in. Lu Yu was still a little surprised...
Is this eldest princess serious?
Liu Xue gently took off Lu Yu's coat. When Lu Yu was in a daze, Liu Xue went to unbutton his coat with a smile. The warm fingertips touched Lu Yu's skin. Lu Yu suddenly came to his senses, as if being
Stung by the bee, he dodged Liu Xue's movement.
"Princess, I will do it myself."
No wonder Lu Yu reacted like this...
It's like a man who, while he was half asleep and half awake, suddenly saw a beautiful woman throwing herself at him!
This feeling is so unreal!
Liu Xue smiled and didn't answer, and the maids on the side giggled even more. Who would have thought that this famous consort, who was so powerful in all of Kyushu, would still be nervous when facing a woman?
On the contrary, she is a princess, generous and elegant, without any of the coquettishness and affectation that a woman has when she first meets her husband.
"Although I am a princess, I am also a female prostitute, and I don't know martial arts? As for making Mr. Lu so nervous?"
"It's not that I'm nervous, but... I feel it's against the rules." Lu Yu felt that the princess had gone too far.
Admittedly…
Two wives from the same house are a sure thing, but in ancient times, marrying a wife was based on three matchmakers and six etiquettes. The series of processes were quite complicated. Even... Lu Yu had to ask his elders, that is, Sister Zhaoji... before he could take this last step.
But I had just returned to Xuducheng, and before I could see my sister, I indulged myself in the gentle countryside of Hanting. The news spread... It would inevitably make Lao Cao suspicious and make my sister feel cold!
Never thought...
Liu Xue didn't mind what Lu Yu said at all.
"I'm just bathing Mr. Lu. Besides, my emperor brother gave the order. Mr. Lu is the newly promoted imperial censor after all, so it's not easy for him to resist the order, right?"
"Since I can't resist, I have no choice but to accept it. You all go down and I will take care of the young master's bath."
Princess Wannian has talked about this...
If Lu Yu refuses again, he will look a bit like "Elder Tang" who doesn't understand the style.
However, what Lu Yu didn't expect was...
Indeed, as Princess Liu Xue said, it is really just a bath, pure, free from vulgar taste, very plain and simple.
After bathing…
Princess Wannian led Lu Yu to the bedroom.
Speaking of which, Liu Xue followed his younger brother Liu Xie and wandered around the court in these years, living in the open and in the open.
Determination is not like the flowers in the greenhouse like other princesses in ancient times. She is very skillful with her hands and does not like to use servants. She does many things... by herself.
For example... waiting for your future husband to take a bath!
And... today's bed-making!
Just like an ordinary couple, Liu Mu was making bed for Lu Yu.
There was light incense in the room, a light rain falling outside the window, and poems written by Lu Yu were placed on the bedside table.
It seems that before meeting Lu Yu, Princess Wannian had read his poems.
"Princess, you need to think clearly." Lu Yu opened his mouth and reminded: "If I don't come back tonight, then... Xu Ducheng naturally has a lot of gossips. It doesn't bother me. It's also popular in the Han court, but it doesn't matter to the princess.
To be fair, I’m afraid the princess’s innocence will be implicated by me!”
"Should it be today or wait until the wedding? The princess has to think about it carefully. Sometimes...it's hard to do both. I want to save the Han family's painstaking efforts, and I also want to preserve the princess's reputation."
Lu Yu looked at Princess Wannian who was making the bed and opened his mouth to remind.
It was just because he had such a good impression of Liu Xue... that he reminded her.
yes!
She does not have the unruly, willful, arrogant and arrogant characteristics of the legendary princess, and she is unable to take care of herself.
On the contrary, he is humble and generous in dealing with things... When dealing with Han Ting and Lu Yu, the whole thing gives people a very comfortable feeling, not physically comfortable, but in the mind, from the inside out.
puff…
After listening to Lu Yu's words, Liu Xue asked Lu Yu with a smile. "I thought I could make something as grand as 'If you don't see it, the water of the Yellow River comes up from the sky and rushes to the sea and never returns. If you don't see it, the mirror in the high hall will have sad white hair, and the morning will be like blue silk and it will turn into snow at dusk!'
The person who wrote the poem was a bold and uninhibited young man, but when I look at him today, he is even more coy than a woman like me."
Liu Xue smiled sweetly...
"Where are you thinking, Mr. Lu? I just made the bed for him. Could it be that... Mr. Lu thought there would be something else?"
Huo…
These words suddenly stirred up Lu Yu's heart.
Of course, Liu Xue's words continued.
"Everyone says that Mr. Lu is extremely intelligent and understands people's hearts. If my princess's thoughts are so easily seen through by Mr. Lu, how will I get along with myself in the Hou Mansion in the future?"
"Could it be that Mr. Lu misses you and that something out of the ordinary happened between me before the wedding? Why do I, the princess, become more and more confused as I listen to this...Does Mr. Lu think that I am a self-deprecating person?"
Speaking of which…
Before Lu Yu could answer, Liu Xue turned around and walked towards the door with a smile. "The bed is made. Mr. Lu, please go to bed as soon as possible. I know that Mr. Lu is tired from the journey, and even if he wants to be afraid, he will be powerless, right?"
Finally throw back a charming eye!
Such words came out of my mouth...
Liu Xue walked out of the bedroom.
She closed the door and stood outside for a long time before leaving with a smile.
And Lu Yu's heart suddenly seemed to be filled with fire...
Looking at Liu Xue's leaving figure outside the door, I felt a sense of loss.
Does this count as being "teased"?
What a pure and green way to “tease”!
…
outside the door.
The incense was still there, and a personal maid of Princess Wannian hurriedly caught up with Liu Xue.
"Princess, I hear... we are about to get better. Why did the princess get away?"
laugh…
Liu Xue smiled slightly.
"Do you think that this princess is just following the orders of the Han Dynasty to get Mr. Lu's people?"
"No, I don't want to get him in such a self-contemptuous way, I want him whole!"
