When he heard that Lingju had been kidnapped by the Huns, Cao Cao was really despairing. Now when he heard that Lingju was still alive, how could he not be happy?
But Cao Cao knew that this was not the time, so he just waved his hand and asked the soldiers to take Lingju down to rest.
As soon as calm returned to the hall, a scribe standing at the end came out and said: "My lord, Yang Xiu thinks there is someone suitable."
Yang Xiu looked at Cao Cao confidently.
"Who?" Cao Cao asked casually.
"Miss Lingju."
"Wow." The ministers shouted. They never expected that Yang Xiu would talk about Lingju. They had never even thought about it. Yes, if Lingju was given to Liu Zhang, it would not only achieve a marriage, but also get rid of a big trouble. Cao Cao
No more worries.
But, is that possible?
Sure enough, Cao Cao stood up and said: "Anyone else can do it. Any unmarried female family members in my Cao Cao family can get married. He, Liu Zhang, can send any concubines in the palace he wants, but Lingju is absolutely impossible."
"Why not?" Yang Xiu ignored Cao Cao's anger and said with a smile: "My subordinates think that Miss Lingju is the most suitable one. There are many beautiful women among the Prime Minister's relatives, but they are far behind Miss Lingju. In the palace,
Not to mention concubines.
The girl Lingju is just old enough to have hairpins, which is the right age to get married. However, given the Prime Minister's age and the fact that Lingju is Lu Bu's daughter, it is impossible to marry her, so why not give her away?"
A minister on the side who admired Yang Xiu's literary talents tugged on Yang Xiu's sleeve. Lingju was a person who was never allowed to be mentioned in Cao's army, but Yang Xiu was good at telling everything.
Cao Cao clenched his fists and his face was ashen.
Yang Xiu ignored the minister who pulled him and continued: "Miss Lingju is unparalleled in beauty. She is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. If the prime minister hadn't prevented her from showing her face, her fame would never be inferior to that of Diao Chan. No woman like this can
If you win Liu Zhang's heart, then there will be no need to try the marriage strategy."
"Shut up." Cao Cao scolded him coldly.
"Prime Minister, forgive Yang Xiu for speaking frankly. The Prime Minister spends too much time with Lingju. Even if the Prime Minister is unhappy, Yang Xiu still has to say something.
The Prime Minister took Lingju into his residence when she was seven years old. He cared for her so much that he did not even accept her as an adopted daughter, but was always with her. The whole world knows what the Prime Minister is thinking, who else can he hide from her?
I am afraid that the reason why the prime minister did not marry the girl Lingju was just because she was young. Yang Xiu told her sincerely that the girl Lingju has a charming spirit. She must not be tempted by the Lord.
Now that Miss Lingju has reached her age, everyone is worried that our lord will officially marry Miss Lingju, but they just don’t say it. Yang Xiu believes that it will be of great benefit to us to give a woman like Lingju to Liu Zhang and make Liu Zhang fascinated.
, staying with the Prime Minister will be a big disadvantage."
"Drag him out." Cao Cao squeezed out three words through his teeth.
"What?" Yang Xiu raised his head and looked at Cao Cao, but no one heard him clearly.
"Drag him out. Kill him." Cao Cao roared. Now Cao Cao felt that the fire of anger was about to ignite him. Anyone can marry him, but not Lingju. Lingju is the most precious existence in Cao Cao's heart, and no one is allowed to get involved.
.
The two sergeants swarmed in and escorted Yang Xiu away. Yang Xiu shouted: "This is my loyalty, my loyalty...loyalty is offensive to my ears. God, my generation of loyal ministers, Yang Xiu, died like this. You sanctimonious people
Gentleman, why don’t you speak up? Why don’t you speak up even though you are clearly opposed to it?”
Yang Xiu's words went further and further, and finally he heard a scream. Everyone was frightened, because Lingju had added another innocent soul, and no one would dare to mention this matter from now on.
Cao Cao's anger was still lingering, and all the ministers were silent for a long time. Guo Jia came out to break the silence. Everyone knew that Guo Jia was going to recommend someone, but judging from Guo Jia's expression, it was estimated that the person to be recommended was not ordinary. Several of the poor family members were Guo Jia.
Sweat a lot.
"Prime Minister, Guo Jia has a candidate."
"Say." Cao Cao slowly calmed down the anger in his chest.
Guo Jia glanced at Cao Xian behind Cao Cao. Cao Xian was startled, and a very bad thought arose in his heart.
Sure enough, Guo Jia slowly spit out three words: "Miss Third."
Cao Cao suddenly raised his head and looked at Guo Jia. Before he could say anything, Cao Xian immediately pointed at Guo Jia's nose and said angrily: "Guo Fengxiao, you, you... you are too much. I think you are the most respected Guo Fengxiao, but you betrayed me."
I...you, you are still not human."
Guo Jia didn't look at Cao Xian. He knew that Cao Xian's eyes must be full of disappointment. Cao Xian was right. Cao Xian has had a strong personality since he was a child. He likes independent people and people who come from the bottom without any background, so in
Among Cao Cao's civil and military talents, Cao Xian did like Guo Jia the most.
"My lord." Guo Jia calmly handed over to Cao Cao: "Although the third lady is not as beautiful as Diao Chan, she is also outstandingly beautiful and is the daughter of the prime minister. The most important thing is that the third lady once married Liu Zhang, but she did not marry because she escaped from the marriage.
Get married.
This remarriage will come naturally. We can also apologize to the Sichuan Army and say that because the third lady escaped from marriage, we have been looking for her. If we find her and send her back immediately, we can show our sincerity to the greatest extent. This is also the greatest possibility of achieving a marriage. If the third lady cannot let her go,
Even if the marriage works, there will be no one left to marry."
Guo Jia felt Cao Xian's fiery gaze, but Cao Xian didn't know that Guo Jia's heart was bleeding, not because he wanted to marry off Cao Xian, who looked up to him, but because he was as humiliated as Xun Yu who had ceded territory to seek peace.
A counselor actually forced the lord to marry his daughter again and again, and the probability of suing for peace by marrying a daughter this time was too small, but Guo Jia had to sacrifice a woman to have even a glimmer of hope that the Sichuan army could divert its troops.
What's so strange?
He believed that Cao Cao would not give up.
Sure enough, Cao Cao said to Cao Xian: "Xian'er, I think it's you."
"What?"
If it was Guo Jia who proposed it, it was still the duty of a minister. Cao Xian never expected that Cao Cao would agree. On the night he came back, Cao Xian saw his father going crazy with joy, but now...
"Father." Cao Xian immediately walked down the hall and said to Cao Cao with a blushing face: "How can you allow me to marry that Yizhou butcher? Do you know who the Yizhou butcher is? He kills people without batting an eyelid.
He is just a devil. His daughter came all the way back from outside the Great Wall just to help her father. How could the father do this? How could he bear to do this? "
Cao Xian looked at Cao Cao with blood-red eyes, feeling sad for Cao Cao's ruthlessness. At the same time, he felt sad for his own fate. His fiancé, Bei Gongzhi, who had come to marry him, was killed by Liu Zhang, and now he wants to marry him himself. Cao Xian
Even if I die, I won't agree.
"Xian'er, don't be willful. You are a member of my Cao family. Can't you contribute to the great cause of the Cao family? Can't I, Cao Cao, be the master of your children's marriage?" (To be continued)
