Chapter 457 Banquets and officials Zhang Fei have a blind date
.Chapter 457: Banquet with ministers Zhang Fei on a blind date
"See my lord", the army arrived, and everyone had been waiting outside the gate of Chang'an City for a long time. Mobile novel site Zhuge Liang, wearing a feather fan and silk scarf, and a white robe, stood in front of everyone, his eyes full of sparkle. Since he surrendered, he has monopolized power and ruthlessly
He has become a prime minister. The six states are neither big nor small, but after work, he can still study weapons with Huang Yueying. People have to admire his ability.
"Everyone, please rise." Liu Zhang was exactly the opposite of Zhuge Liang. He went to Wuwei just to be lazy. From the beginning to the end, he only met with the family members of the victims of the war, and then he accepted a godson and got married to two wives. If
Speaking of hard work, at most I put in a little more effort on Sun Shangxiang’s wedding day
Following everyone back to the mansion, in the meeting hall, Zhuge Liang began to report on government affairs. To be honest, with Zhuge Liang's ability, Liu Zhang really trusted him. But reporting was a necessary process, and Liu Zhang patiently listened. An entire hour passed.
Just look at Zhuge Liang talking endlessly, and he doesn't even use the manuscript, which shows how terrifying his ability is.
"Wait?" Liu Zhang suddenly heard a name and frowned, "Is this person not dead yet?"
"It is precisely" Zhuge Liang said, "that the Qiang, Rong and Di tribes were able to invade Liangzhou precisely because he was leading the way."
"Send orders to Lu Xun and capture him alive." Liu Zhang sneered and said, "Han Wenyue is quite capable. No wonder I didn't see him in Huchuquan's tent. It turned out that he had taken refuge with the Qiang people. How did the Qiang people know about the small roads in Liangzhou?"
If I don’t Ling Chi, it will be difficult to understand the hatred in my heart."
"Yes." Zhuge Liang took the pen and ink and wrote something on the cloth. Since his lord had a special request, he would not refuse it. As for the fact that Lingchi's punishment was too cruel, he had no objection. As the saying goes, kindness does not lead an army.
Since Zhuge Liang in history was able to control the army for more than 20 years, he was not a soft-hearted person.
"Is there anything else?" Zhuge Liang reported for a long time and finally stopped. Liu Zhang breathed a sigh of relief. Listening to others talking about internal affairs for more than an hour was also a headache.
"Excuse me, my lord, Cao Cao has sent two women, what are you going to do with them?" Zhuge Liang looked at Liu Zhang. He really didn't understand why Liu Zhang wanted to exchange his reputation for two women. In ancient times, reputation was much more valuable than women.
, in Zhuge Liang’s view, Liu Zhang’s actions were not worth it.
"What else can you do? Of course I accept it," Liu Zhang said, "Didn't I ask you to prepare for the wedding of Yide and Xia Houjuan? Why do you still ask?"
"My lord, since you have accepted Jiangdong's daughter, why should you accept Cao Cao's daughter into the army? No matter who you help, you will inevitably have a reputation of treachery. Is it worth it?" Zhuge Liang looked at Liu Zhang with piercing eyes.
I don't understand.
"Reputation?" Liu Zhang laughed and said, "Kong Ming, who am I, a woman who needs to deceive others? Cao Cao shamelessly gave this to me, and Sun Shangxiang was also shamelessly given to me by the Sun family. There has never been any agreement.
Could it be that Cao Cao really couldn't see the benefits? No, Cao Cao just used two women in exchange for my delay in sending troops."
"This..." Zhuge Liang asked, "What are you going to do, my lord?"
"How to do it? You already know in your heart, why ask again?" Liu Zhang asked with a straight face and a very mysterious smile, "Kong Ming, you have been in Chang'an. Have you ever heard that Gong Jin and Yuan Zhi are having an affair with any girl?"
"Uh..." Zhuge Liang glanced at Liu Zhang with a very strange look, and said seriously, "Master, I really didn't pay attention. In fact, you'd better ask the ladies, or Guo Jia, Jia Xu, for this kind of question.
They know more."
"I know," Liu Zhang said with a slight smile, "If nothing happens, go ahead and help me call Yuan Zhi."
"Yes" Zhuge Liang understood, turned around and walked out of the meeting hall. Soon, Xu Shu arrived.
"See my lord." As soon as the army was settled, Xu Shu was about to go home to see his mother. However, he got a notice from Zhuge Liang and hurried to the meeting hall. When he saw Liu Zhang, he asked straight to the point, "My lord, what do you want to see me for?"
"
"Yuan Zhi, do you think I am your eldest brother?" When Liu Zhang opened his mouth, Xu Shu was stunned for a moment.
"When" Xu Shu said categorically, "whatever the elder brother orders, the younger brother will definitely obey it."
"Okay." Liu Zhang's serious face suddenly turned into a half-smile, which made Xu Shu feel cold all over. He only heard him ask softly, "To be honest, who is this girl's family?"
"Yes...brother, what girl did you say?" Xu Shu was stunned for a moment and immediately started to pretend to be stupid.
"Pretend, you keep pretending," Liu Zhang said with a smile, "It's time for a man to get married, and for a woman to get married. Xu Yuanzhi is full of wits, charming, and heroic as a swordsman. How dare you say that you like someone? I'm not telling you, you are also three
It's more than ten years old. If we don't get married, my aunt will die of panic. Tell me and I will help you be a matchmaker."
Xu Shu blushed and said, "Brother, can we not discuss this issue for now? She hasn't given me an answer yet. If I say it out, won't it ruin her reputation? It's inappropriate, it's really inappropriate."
Liu Zhang sneered and said, "Xu Yuanzhi, back then you dared to avenge your friends and kill people with your sword, but now you don't even dare to say that you like others. You are becoming more and more useless. Who am I? Hou Yong, the dignified champion, not only won the three armies, but also controlled the six states."
Dare she say she disagrees with the woman my brother likes? Which girl is she from?"
"Brother, if she doesn't agree, you can't do it either." Xu Shu scratched his head in embarrassment and looked at Liu Zhang sheepishly. At this time, he was still a commander in command of thousands of troops. He was just a young boy who had just started to fall in love.
Liu Zhang was stunned by his words.
"Neither can I?" Liu Zhang said in confusion, "Is it possible that she is from another prince? You know, even Xia Houyuan's daughter, I have brought her here."
"It's a pity that the girl I like, his brother is no worse than Xia Houyuan, and she is someone who cannot be forced by the elder brother." Looking at Liu Zhang, Xu Shu suddenly suppressed another sentence in order to change the subject, "Actually, Gong Jin also has a headache. He
He is in bigger trouble than me. The girl he likes is in more trouble than Cao Cao’s daughter.”
"Isn't it more troublesome than Cao Cao? Could it be my daughter? But I don't have a daughter." Liu Zhang looked at Xu Shu blankly, thinking non-stop in his heart, but after thinking for a long time, he couldn't figure it out.
"Giggle..." Just when Liu Zhang was stunned, a string of laughter like silver bells sounded, and three figures slowly walked into the hall, bowing at the same time.
"See the father (champion lord, emperor uncle)" three different names for the three people. It turns out that Liu Tuo arrived with Zhao Yun's sister Zhao Yu and Princess Wannian.
Liu Zhang would never be too harsh on his relatives. After letting the three of them sit down, he smiled and asked, "Why are you three here together?"
"Father, my mother heard about your return and specially prepared a family banquet. Please talk to your uncles." Liu Tuo bowed very politely, but Liu Zhang felt very uncomfortable. This is always the case between father and son.
Coming and going, it’s really too much. In history, the bloodshed of countless emperors’ families started from birth.
Liu Zhang shook his head and said, "Tuo'er doesn't need to be so polite. Relax and be more heroic. Otherwise, why would my father let you practice martial arts? I would also let your Uncle Shi teach him martial arts himself."
"Reporting to father, grandpa said that as a child of a noble family, one cannot be without etiquette..." Liu Tuo shook his head and said a lot, which made Liu Zhang feel helpless. This is the shortcoming of finding a great Confucian to educate his children. He always gets entangled in minutiae.
But he has no ability
"Do you think what grandpa said is right?" Liu Zhang stared at Liu Tuo, carefully observing his subtle movements, hoping to see his true thoughts. If Liu Tuo was really a corrupt scholar, Liu Zhang would rather let him do academic work than
Give the country to him so as not to miss the great events of the Han people for thousands of years.
"Grandpa is right, but you can't stick to etiquette, but you must be polite when meeting your father." Liu Tuo's eyes flashed, and he immediately understood what his father meant. Under the influence of Guo Jia and Jia Xu, if he would still be
Isn’t it a joke that Cai Yong is so poisonous as an old Confucian? His humility and courtesy are most likely just for outsiders to see.
Liu Zhang clapped his hands and laughed and said, "Well said, it seems that you have acquired some of the essence of filial piety and gentleness, but you still need some pride of being a father. From today on, you will study with Jiang Wei and take good care of this child."
As a foster brother, don’t let your father down. Also, no matter what your temperament is, you must be very careful with your own people.”
"Father, don't worry, my child understands that I will treat Jiang Wei like my own brother." Liu Zhang praised him, and Liu Tuo's face turned rosy. After all, he was still young and would not hide his emotions.
"Uncle Emperor, if we continue to chat, the aunts will be anxious." Wannian Gongzu said with a smile, "General Zhang and others have already arrived, you don't want them to wait for a long time, right?"
"Good Yuanzhi, you will come with me." Liu Zhang stood up and said hello before leaving the meeting hall.
"Brother, I'd better not go. My mother is still at home. When I come back, how can I not go and see her..." Xu Shu actually objected, which made Liu Zhang stunned for a moment.
"Brother Yuanzhi, Aunt Xu has already been invited." Zhao Yu is already a 24-5-year-old girl. Over the years, she should have gotten married long ago, but because Liu Zhang and Zhao Yun were busy with official duties, and Zhao Lei was in Jin
Yang, coupled with the fact that there was no good match for her, and she was unwilling to marry Liu Zhang, her marriage was delayed again and again. However, the look in her eyes when she looked at Xu Shu was full of resentment. It was indeed resentment.
"There's a problem." Liu Zhang's eyes were so vicious, and he could tell something was wrong with just one look. Suddenly, he remembered Xu Shu's words, and couldn't help but chuckle in his heart, "No wonder I can't handle it, Zilong's sister, I still can't handle it."
I really can’t figure it out. If that’s the case, I won’t care. But who does Gongjin fall in love with? I remember that his vision is not ordinary.”
"Since my mother is here, naturally I can't leave." Xu Shu smiled bitterly, then stood behind Liu Zhang, and everyone went to the backyard together. Liu Zhang suddenly discovered that Zhao Yu's eyes had been staring at Xu Shu.
The backyard was already overcrowded, and more than ten large tables were filled with people. Not only Zhang Fei, but also Zhao Yun, Guan Yu, Huang Zhong and others were also present. At the center seat, Liu Zhang's wives and concubines were sitting together. Sun Shangxiang was shocked.
In the queue, the eyes between her and Zhu Rong were like two sharp swords, constantly clashing, and the smell of fire was very strong. Needless to say, the friction between the two violent girls had already caused fire.
"See my lord." When Liu Zhang arrived, everyone stood up and saluted. Looking around, Liu Zhang found Zhuge Liang, Jia Xu, and Guo Jia among them.
"What's going on? There's such a big scene." He thought it was just an ordinary family banquet, but it turned out to be such a big fight. Liu Zhang was confused by the monk Zhang Er, and quickly poked Cai Yan beside him.
"It's a blind date..." Cai Yan covered his mouth and said with a smile, "Didn't you promise Yide to show him that General Xiahou loves his wife when he returns to Chang'an? In order not to appear out of the blue, I arranged this family dinner. By the way,
Welcome sister Xiang'er, and the girls from the Cao family who are about to join us."
"I have you." What else could Liu Zhang say to such a virtuous wife? He could only provoke Brother Thumb and praise her wisdom.
"Thank you for the compliment, husband." Although they are already in their thirties and still mothers, due to Liu Zhang's care, Cai Yan's daughters are as innocent as little girls. Of course, this does not mean that they have no brains, but that they do not use their thoughts.
In this regard, smart women in ancient times all knew that the more jealous they were, the easier they were to be abandoned, especially by kings and important ministers.
Didn’t you see that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty once promised a golden house to hide his beauty, but in the end he turned the golden house into a cage? A "Chang Mén Ode" wrote all the sorrow of Empress Chen. How could a smart ancient woman still not know how to choose? Even if
The ending is destined to be sad, smart people also find the most comfortable way to enjoy it
"Everyone" After everyone was seated, Liu Zhang stood up and said, "Today's family banquet is not just about inviting you to drink, but also introducing the two new ladies to you, Miss Cao and Mrs. Sun."
Following Liu Zhang's words, Sun Shangxiang and Cao Hua stood up. To be honest, Cao Cao didn't look very good, but his daughter was a beauty. As soon as the delicate Cao Hua and the heroic Sun Shangxiang stood up, they won
The whole house was filled with cheers. However, half of these cheers were for Liu Zhang's sake.
"Ma'am, please take a seat." Liu Zhang smiled and asked the two women to sit down. Then he pointed to the woman beside Cao Hua and said, "This girl is the daughter of Xia Houyuan, the general under Cao Cao. I originally wanted to tell her to a general."
Wife. But I was worried that the girl would not like our general, so I took advantage of this banquet to let them go on a blind date. Girl, please look, the man pouring the wine over there is my brother Zhang Fei and Zhang Yide."
Following Liu Zhang's finger, Xia Houjuan looked at Zhang Fei, and Zhang Fei raised his head when Liu Zhang called him. When their eyes met, time seemed to have suddenly stopped until Xia Houjuan blushed at Zhang Fei's gaze and couldn't help but
He lowered his head and poured the wine in Zhang Fei's hand, causing everyone to burst into laughter. When Liu Zhang saw this, he couldn't help but chuckle in his heart and said, "It's done."
