Chapter 317: The Dispute Between Wives and Concubines
"Madame, what else can't you worry about? Tell your husband that even if it is difficult, your husband will definitely do it for you! ”
Lu Bu held his wife in his arms, and when he heard his wife intermittently say her last words, he couldn't help but burst into tears and wept bitterly.
It's just that his wife's death was caused by a serious illness, and it was also caused by fate, so no one is to blame.
can only blame him for being greedy for power at the beginning, not listening to Hua Tuo's words, and continuing to lead his family south.
Thinking of this, Lu Bu was even more full of deep self-blame, and he couldn't wait to slap himself twice to be more comfortable.
As for his wife's deathbed wish, he secretly swore in his heart that even if he fought for his life, he would help his wife fulfill it.
“…… Qi'er to filial piety...... To save me...... did not hesitate to enter Liu's mansion as a general...... But after all, she is a daughter...... and have reached the age of marriage...... The only thing I can't rest assured ...... It's Qi'er's marriage......"
Wei Shi said slowly, his expression gradually darkening.
Lu Qi's contribution has been able to protect them, but Lu Qi is a big girl after all, she is not a wife like this, a concubine is not a concubine, and she is embarrassed to follow a man, what's the matter?
It is true that at this time, many generals in the world are envious of Lu Qi for following the right person, so that she can be named General Huya as the daughter of a sinner and give Guan Neihou, which is a height that most generals in the world cannot reach in a lifetime.
But only Wei, who is a mother, doesn't care about how high her daughter's official position is, but only cares about what her daughter will do in the future.
"This ...... It's really tricky......" Lu Bu couldn't help but glance at his daughter next to him, and said with a little worry: "Qi'er's name has been ruined by Liu Ping's child, and remarrying others may be criticized, but Liu Ping ......"
At this time, Lu Qi hurriedly stood up and said resolutely: "Father and mother don't have to worry about these things about their daughter, the daughter is willing to be a general under the command of her son for the rest of her life, and no longer consider marriage." ”
After hearing this, Wei's expression darkened even more, in this era, a woman, even if she is a concubine and a maid for others, can be regarded as having a home, but if she does not marry for life, it will be ridiculous.
At this moment, I suddenly heard a noisy crowd outside, and it seemed that a lot of people had come, and then I heard someone standing in the courtyard shouting: "Lu Qi takes the order!" ”
This is the arrival of the Holy Decree!
Lu Bu and his daughter glanced at each other, not understanding why they had come to the Holy Decree at this time.
When their father and daughter came to the courtyard, they saw that Kong Rong had already greeted him and said with a smile on his face: "Lu Wenhou, don't come to harm?" ”
"Who am I, it turns out that Kong Beihai has arrived," Lu Bu said lightly.
At the beginning, the princes of the Eighteenth Route begged Dong Zhuo, and Kong Rong was also one of them, and Lu Bu was the first general under Dong Zhuo at that time.
It's just that the princes have hundreds of thousands of troops, but they can't help the Xiliang and state army led by Lu Bu, and Lu Bu naturally has the confidence to look down on the princes of the world.
"Let's take the decree first!" Kong Rong's hot face was pasted on the cold buttocks, and he couldn't help but be a little embarrassed.
"Chen Lu Bu takes the order!"
Lu Bu bowed.
He was still more humble to the emperor, after all, he had joined forces with Wang Yun at the beginning to jointly sweep away the Western Liang forces in the court.
For this reason, he was able to serve as General Fenwu, fake Jieyue, Yibi Sansi, enter the Wenhou Dynasty, and take charge of the government with Wang Yun, which is also the highlight of his life.
The Yellow Gate unfolded the decree and began to read:
"Fengtian carried the emperor, and the edict said: Lu's Nuqi, following the Pingxi general Liu Ping, and Keding Xuzhou, made great achievements.
I also heard that the women of the Lu family are diligent and submissive, Yonghe is pure, gentle and good-natured, and she is a good woman, and she is specially given a virgin woman to obey the woman's silk and marry into Liu's mansion by order.
Chin this! ”
After the decree was read, Lu Bu stood for a moment and did not respond.
"Lu Wenhou, the Son of Heaven has given marriage, this is a great honor, why don't you hurry up and thank you?" Kong Rong reminded beside him.
"How could the Son of Heaven care about Lu's daughter's marriage?"
Lu Bu muttered to himself, they were still worried that their daughter was unclear with Liu Ping just now, but in the blink of an eye, the edict of the Son of Heaven for marriage arrived.
"Still can't figure this out?" Kong Rong said: "That's because Liu Gong made a table in front of His Majesty, and Ling Ai was the first merit of Xuzhou this time, and His Majesty was happy, so there was this reward."
Liu Gong is a heroic man in the world, young and promising, His Majesty gave the love of the virgin woman to marry him, what else are you not happy about? ”
"My daughter of Lu Bu, if I am a concubine for others, how should the people of the world think of me?" Lu Bu's face was clouded.
It is said that there is no reason for the Son of Heaven to give marriage as a concubine.
But the edict just now was vague and did not explicitly state the identity of her daughter marrying into Liu's mansion, so she was naturally a concubine.
"Lu Wenhou is too worried about this," Kong Rong stroked his beard and smiled slightly: "With Liu Gong's spoiling of Ling Ai, why do you care about your identity?"
Thanks to the blessing of Duke Liu, let me ask which woman can have such a love today, be a marquis, and give a virgin a maiden silk?
Wen Hou don't forget, the ancient woman is not a wife. ”
The famous female general in history is only one of the more than 60 wives of the Shang King Wuding, but because of her superior military strength, she can fight habitually, and has been ordered to fight on the battlefield many times, and has made countless meritorious contributions, so she is deeply favored by Wuding.
"Kong Beihai is reasonable," Lu Bu nodded and said: "My daughter Lu Bu is unique in the world, if Liu Ping'er despises it, it is because he has no eyes." ”
Lu Bu is not a person who does not know the times, he knows that this time is not the same as in the past.
Now that the Han family has been controlled by Cao Cao, and Liu Pingzheng's wife is Cao Cao's daughter, no one can shake her status, so what can his daughter do if she doesn't become a concubine?
Lu Bu looked at his daughter and found that there was no objection in his daughter's expression, so he concluded that his daughter also agreed.
In fact, Lu Qi also knows that since she was taken off by Liu Ping in Puyang, she has come step by step to the present, and there is no other choice, and it is more appropriate that Liu Ping gave her the first credit in Xuzhou, which shows that Liu Ping attaches great importance to her.
Such an arrangement is the best choice for her.
"Madame, ma'am," suddenly heard the screams of the maidservants in the house.
Lu Bu's father and daughter were shocked, and they didn't care about Kong Rong and Huangmen, so they hurriedly ran back to the house.
It turned out that everything that happened outside just now, Wei Shi heard it clearly in the house, and Wei raised his hands in favor of the edict in the holy decree.
There is a holy decree to marry, and there is a virgin to obey the blessing of the woman, so that the daughter finally has a home.
As soon as this only wish was fulfilled, Wei Shi let out a sigh of relief and slowly closed his eyes.
Seeing his mother fall into a coma again, Lu Qi couldn't help but burst into tears, and said in a trembling voice: "Li Dangzhi once said that he can only let his mother wake up once, and when he falls into a coma again, he will not wake up again." ”
"Is this the limit?"
Lu Bu knew that this moment could not be avoided, but he still couldn't stop his heart from aching like a knife, and he turned around to see a small shrine in the corner dedicated to the Three Qing Dao Ancestors.
He stepped forward, knelt down reverently, and muttered silently: "Disciple Lu Bu, ask for the Daojun to manifest his spirit, if he can exchange his wife's life, the disciple is willing to live for ten years." ”
