Chapter 137: There is a girl in the Hou Mansion who has just grown up
Since the founding of the Han Dynasty, following the Qin Dynasty's 20 military meritorious titles, with the Marquis of Che as the highest title, now Lu Bu is enshrined in Anyi, and the food is 10,000 households, which has long been the peak. Although there is a prince in the Han Dynasty, it is not allowed to be rewarded if the surname is not Liu, and although this duke is not high or low has been set up as early as the Zhou Dynasty, but there has never been a reward in the Han Dynasty.
Zhong Xuan was reprimanded by the emperor, but his face did not change color, neither humble nor arrogant: "Your Majesty is wrong, the rules of the world are not broken or established, and these twenty military merits are not born with them.
Lu Bu didn't expect Zhong Xuan to have such a performance, such a request for credit in the palace is tantamount to forcing the palace, he is really in a hurry, and he doesn't care about these false names. Now that the power is in hand, the government and government are under control, and there is no need to make any more extraneous branches.
At this time, seeing that all the ministers in the hall were eager to try, there was a tendency to rise up and echo it, and hurriedly said: "What Your Majesty said is very true, I have my own ancestral regulations, how can I easily destroy it, Lu Bu bears His Majesty's high hopes, and he should do his best, and some credit is where the duty lies. ”
Zhong Miao was about to say more, but when he saw Lu Bu's sharp eyes, he hurriedly closed his voice and retreated to his seat. Seeing that Lu Bu didn't seem to have such ambitions, the ministers stopped coming forward and said in unison: "Prime Minister Gao Yi." ”
The emperor was in a dilemma, but at this time, Lu Bu gave in, and he was relieved a lot, and said: "The prime minister is of noble character, and he is a model for the ministers, but he can't be rewarded for his merits. ”
Lu Bu didn't expect the emperor to be so generous, how could he shirk it, so he got up and walked to His Royal Highness, and said: "Your Majesty is gracious, and the ministers are sincerely afraid." ”
The monarchs and ministers enjoyed themselves that day, and it was not until nightfall that the banquet was dispersed.
Lu Bu returned happily, riding the honor guard given by the Son of Heaven all the way, and he couldn't help but get carried away, and opened the road with gongs and drums all the way, attracting the people along the street to open the windows and watch.
When I returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, I saw that the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion was deserted, and only a few guards were waiting outside the door, which was very different from the imaginary scene of his wife and children welcoming him together.
Lu Bu couldn't help but feel sour, he was fighting outside for days, and when he returned to the city, the emperor's ministers went out of the city ten miles to greet him, why did he return home, and there was no one to greet him, when did he have such a sense of existence in this home?
Annoyed, he reprimanded the guards waiting outside the door, which was nothing more than that the armor was not neat enough, the weapons were not bright enough, etc., so that the guards were confused, so they had to kneel on both sides to accept the reprimand.
As soon as he entered the Prime Minister's Mansion, Lu Bu retreated left and right, and walked straight to the front hall.
Lu Bu felt in his heart, there were assassins in this prime minister's mansion, but although the attacker was fierce, Lu Bu didn't panic, didn't look back, and in a flash, a bright long sword had already grazed his ears.
Lu Bu twisted the sword body lightly with his thumb and index finger, and took advantage of the situation, and the person behind him flew forward with the sword, and could no longer contain the momentum.
The person who came was Lu Buti in mid-air, unable to focus his hands and feet, hanging in the air, grabbing his hands and kicking his feet, and shouting in his mouth: "Father is me, I know it's wrong, let me go." ”
The sound is pleasant to the ear, and it is the sound of Ruyi.
When Lu Bu found out that the long sword was stabbed, she knew who the person behind her was, so she didn't kill her, otherwise she would still have the kung fu to shout at this time?
threw her out, rolled in the air a few times, and landed firmly on the ground, then he smiled and said, "Father is so powerful, he scared me to death." ”
I haven't seen her for more than half a year, Ruyi's body is more slender, and she doesn't seem to be a little shorter than her mother, at this time, I saw her smiling, heartless, I didn't feel angry, and said with a calm face: "My daughter's family, dancing with knives and guns all day long, is this how you greet your father?" ”
At this time, everyone in the front hall heard the voice, Yan Xiuli saw Lu Bu reprimanding Ruyi, and said with a smile: "The prince is so powerful, our family has been waiting for you outside the Prime Minister's Mansion for a whole day, and I don't see your figure, I thought you were going to stay in the palace tonight and be with the emperor as a companion, and when you come back at this time, do you just want to reprimand people?" ”
Lu Bu saw his wife coming out of the door, and there was his son Lu Xing behind him, as well as the widow of his mother-in-law Liu and his father-in-law Ding Yuan.
Yan Xiuli's words made Lu Bu not know what to say, and suddenly, Lu Xing stepped forward and said, "Welcome my father to return triumphantly." ”
Lu Bu picked up Lu Xing, the young man hadn't seen him for half a year, but he was a lot stronger, Lu Bu finally laughed and said, "It's still my son who is the most considerate." ”
Entering the front hall, the festive decoration seemed to be not only a banquet to welcome him, and he asked suspiciously: "What day is it today, why is it arranged like this?" ”
Yan Xiuli glared at Lu Bu, and said in a reproachful tone: "I don't know how you became a father, I forgot what day it was, I thought that when you came back today, you must know the importance of today." ”
Lu Bu looked at everyone with a puzzled face, only to see that everyone was smiling, and secretly asked himself, what day is today? It's not a holiday, it's not an anniversary, and there's nothing to be gained by digging out your minds.
At this time, the mother-in-law Liu smiled and said: "Today is Ruyi's fourteenth birthday, and it has reached the age of Jilu, and it can be regarded as an adult." ”
Lu Bu looked back at Ruyi, and saw her rather rare shyness, stroking the corners of her clothes, where there was a little adult look.
It turned out that today was Ruyi's coming-of-age ceremony, and there were relatives and friends who congratulated him during the day, just waiting for Lu Bu to return and send his father's blessings, but he didn't expect Lu Bu to forget it.
Lu Bu was full of apologies, summoned Ruyi to his side, and said in a harmonious voice: "It's my father who is not good, I forgot that you are such an important day, since you are an adult, you need to be filial to your parents and take care of your younger brother, and your words and deeds need to be more decent, you know?" ”
When Ruyi heard this, he said like an adult: "I know my father." ”
Lu Bu took out the dragon and snake bow he carried with him, handed it to Ruyi and said: "This short bow followed me to fight in the north and south, killing countless generals, I know that you like to ride and shoot, so I will give it to you as a gift today." ”
Ruyi has long coveted his father's dragon and snake bow, which is short and exquisite, and is more suitable for sudden launch, even if the woman's arm strength can be calmly relaxed, she is overjoyed: "Thank you for your father's gift, I like it very much." ”
At this moment, the auspicious time has passed early, and the wishful coming-of-age ceremony has already been held, and Lu Bu regrets that he missed such an important moment. Thinking about Ruyi, when he was born, he fought with Cao Cao in front of the Tiger Prison Pass, and he failed to protect his wife and children, and now he even passed by the coming-of-age ceremony, and he couldn't help but feel even more guilty.
He asked Ruyi again: "Since the coming-of-age ceremony has been held, can you take the table word?" ”
Ruyi shook her head, and Yan Xiuli said on the side: "The word Ruyi has to wait for you to come back to take it, you haven't returned for a long time, Ruyi has already seen it outside the door dozens of times." ”
Lu Bu said suddenly: "I chose the name of Ruyi for her, I just hope that she can have a happy and safe life, and she will take the words herself." ”
Then he asked Ruyi, "What do you think?" ”
Ruyi said happily: "Yes, I named myself Qiling, what does my father think?" ”
Lu Bu was shocked when he heard this, and his heart was turbulent, Ruyi actually gave himself such a word, which is in line with the legends of later generations, could it be that fate cannot be changed after all?
At this time, seeing that she was in high spirits, and didn't want to ruin her fun, he said in a harmonious voice: "Qiling is very good, you can be happy." ”
Ruyi obtained the expression, and became even more excited, and begged his father again: "I want to go to Mengjin College to study, father, do you think it is okay." ”
For Lu Bu, it is the best thing for a young man to be studious, how could he not allow it, and immediately said: "I think it is very good, since you have the heart to learn, I can't ask for it, tomorrow I will ask Kong Rong to issue a certificate and let you enter the hospital to study." ”
Ruyi happily pounced on his father and said happily: "Great, I know that my father loves me the most." ”
Lu Bu struggled to break free, and said angrily: "After completing the human ceremony just now, you are not big or small, and you are like a child, teach me how to let you leave home to study?" ”
Ruyi stuck out his tongue and stepped aside.
Lu Xing was not happy, and shouted: "Lu Ruyi wants to go to Mengjin Academy, and I want to go too." ”
Lu Budao: "Mengjin Academy does not accept little children. ”
Lu Xing didn't follow: "Who is the little kid, I'm thirteen years old this year, only one year old." ”
Lu Budao: "It's not even a day. ”
Lu Xing pouted, he really couldn't communicate with this father, Yan Xiuli said in a timely manner: "Okay, I'll talk about these things later, now is Ruyi's birthday banquet, delicious food and drink can't stop your mouth." ”
When the banquet was over, it was already late at night, and the house was busy with green all day, and at this hour it was still impossible to stop.
Lu Bu returned to the bedroom, and finally could be alone with his wife, separated for many days, and had long filled his heart with thoughts, if the children were Lu Bu's branches and leaves, then Yan Xiuli was her rhizome, so that all the motivation for him to pay, but since he got married, he has been fighting for many years, and the two have gathered less and left more, and only he knows his own suffering.
Lu Bu is often on the front line, in the midst of war, and his heart is always on his chest, so he naturally has no extra thoughts. But Yan Xiuli, who is in the rear, is different, not only has to take care of the housework independently, but also has to stabilize the court and ministers for her husband, and she also has to worry about the safety of her husband on the front line.
Lu Bu naturally understood the situation of his wife, at this time, he saw her sitting behind the candle flame, after a busy day, there was still a tired smile on his face, and under the candle flame, there were still a few strands of silver hair shining, Lu Bu mourned in his heart, and stepped forward to hug her and said, "Madame has worked hard." ”
Yan Xiuli suddenly heard this, and she couldn't turn around for a while, and she was stunned for a long time, before a few drops of crystal sparkle appeared in her eyes, and she ate: "What did husband say, you and I are husband and wife, so naturally we should work together and pay for this family together." My husband was born and died on the front line, and I naturally tried my best to protect the stability of my family, otherwise it would be a mess of my husband's affairs. ”
At this time, silence is better than sound, Lu Bu and her know each other, no need to say much, just hug each other tightly, and each other's minds can naturally be understood.
The next day, Lu Bu's mansion opened, and a group of civil ministers and military generals all came to discuss the matter and gathered in the conference hall.
Yang Xiu couldn't sit still at first, got up and said: "Why didn't the prince and marquis want to be promoted to the title of duke on the main hall yesterday, as long as someone mentions it at this time, the prince and marquis can take advantage of the situation, this retreat is really a good opportunity." ”
A group of important ministers all echoed: "Yes, the prince has made great contributions, how can he be sent away lightly, the emperor is too stingy." ”
Lu Bu smiled and said nothing, and Jia Xu asked suspiciously: "Doesn't the prince have other plans?" ”
Lu Bu said: "The duke and marquis are not much different to me, but for some ministers who are interested in the Han family, this is simply an ulterior motive, since this is the case, why should I do this, it is not a gentleman's act to add trouble to others, and harm others and not to benefit oneself." ”
Jia Xu said: "Of course, but the prince and the prince are now ready for everything, and the important ministers of the court are in control, why not take advantage of the situation to test the hearts of the people in the court, if there are many people who are interested in the Han family, the prince can judge the situation and be vigilant against dissenting opinions." If there are few people who are interested in the Han family, the prince can also take advantage of the situation, wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone. The knighthood is a small matter, and the meaning is to throw stones and ask for directions. ”
Lu Bu shook his head and said, "Now is not the time, and it is not the time to start anew. If we behave misbehaps, and are emulated by those who have a heart, then there will inevitably be a forest of princes and princes, and the Han court will really exist in name only. ”
Sima Lang was greatly relieved when he heard this, and said: "What the prince is worried about is exactly that, now that we control the world, why rush for a while, when the prince and the marquis soldiers point and the world is one, even if there are people with different aspirations, it is just a mantis arm as a car, and the general trend is unstoppable." ”
Lu Bu bowed his head and said: "This matter should not be mentioned again, and it will end here." ”
Chen Lin diverted the topic and said: "The prince and the marquis have lost a lot of soldiers, horses, food and grass in this conquest of Cao Cao, although it does not hurt the fundamentals, but it is also a serious loss, and the placement of the dead and wounded soldiers also needs to be carefully arranged, tens of thousands of martyrs need subsidies, and the finances are afraid that they will be stretched." ”
Lu Bu said solemnly: "There is no need to discuss this, even if we are alive and hungry, we can't snub the soldiers who shed their blood for us, the martyrs' subsidies are all in accordance with the past practice, and there must be no deductions, otherwise who is willing to fight for us in the future?" ”
Wang Ji is now serving as the secretary of the Zhongshu Order, taking care of the government affairs of the DPRK and China, and said: "Now that Sili, Yanzhou and other places have suffered heavy losses in the population, they have already been ten rooms and nine empty, and the prince still needs to issue a good government to support the people." ”
