Chapter 0391: The Middle Way Collapses
Himiko never thought that the Son of Heaven would ask such a question, her eyes widened, and she said with some hesitation: "Your Majesty, are you going to marry me?" Three Han Xiang Cao Gong? ”
"That's true, you see, Cao Cao is in Sanhan, very close to your Wa Kingdom, not to mention, he is my confidant, the third prince of Han, if there is a son, I allow him to succeed to the throne of Wa Kingdom, what do you think?" The Son of Heaven said with a smile, although his expression was very gentle, but his eyes were staring directly into Himiko's eyes, as if she was unwilling to suffer the wrath of the Son of Heaven's thunder.
In such a situation, Himiko is not easy to directly express her thoughts, she is unwilling to marry Cao Cao, does the Son of Heaven want to indirectly control herself through marriage, and then gain control of the Wa Kingdom through her future children? She thought eagerly in her heart, but her face showed some shame.
She said: "The daughter of the barbarian, I don't know if she may be worthy of Cao Gong, or if Cao Gong is unwilling..."
"Oh, I speak, how can he be unwilling?" The Son of Heaven said angrily, "You don't have to worry, no one can object to my will, if it is not allowed... Huh...."
The Son of Heaven seemed to be angry with Cao Cao and other ministers, but the threat in his words, Himiko felt it, she laughed, bowed and said: "Thank you for your grace, the minister will return to the country of Wa and prepare to get married..."
"Hey, Qing is a minister of the Han family, how can the matter of marriage make the country tired, I help by myself, Qing just go to Sanhan and marry Cao Cao..."
And Huyi, who came with him, was a little panicked in his heart, if Himihu married Cao Cao, then in the future, Cao Cao is likely to vigorously support Yamatai to unify the Wa Kingdom, so where should his own Wa slave country go? His thoughts, the Son of Heaven saw clearly, he smiled and said: "Huyijun, I heard, you have a daughter?" ”
"Your Majesty! The minister does have a daughter, gentle and virtuous, extremely intelligent...."Huyi was overjoyed, and spared no effort to praise, causing the humble humi on the side to be deeply disdainful, the Son of Heaven laughed, and said: "I have a son, Ming'an, although he is young, but he is very similar to me, I love him deeply, I don't know, maybe it is good to marry two families with you?" ”
"Your Majesty...."Hu Yi trembled excitedly, this is the prince, the prince of the Han Dynasty, one of the future heirs of the Han Empire, just like this, he became his son-in-law, he knelt directly in front of the Son of Heaven, and said excitedly: "Thank you Your Majesty for your kindness, the minister will send the eldest daughter here....", the Son of Heaven laughed again and said: "My son is still young, and he is not in a hurry. ”
The two thanked them three times before leaving the main hall.
The Son of Heaven sent someone to take them to play in Luoyang, so he returned to the temple and personally repaired a book, this edict was written to Cao Cao, but not in the tone of the Son of Heaven, but in the tone of the elders, which probably means that he saw Cao Cao so tired, but had no family, so he married him, and he should be treated well, not to be despised and so on.
After sending the letter, he summoned Cao Song again, Cao Song has been an official for decades, and he has been in the position of Da Honglu for a long time, so he can not say it, and for such a long time, he has not shown anything particularly outstanding, but he is very obedient, since the Son of Heaven was in power, he has followed the Son of Heaven closely, and has not once angered the Son of Heaven.
Therefore, his old colleague either retired or died in the hands of Zhang He, only he, now he has been knighted, has approached the position of the captain, in the eyes of the Son of Heaven, he is still a smart person, and the temple also needs such a courtier, this time he was summoned by the Son of Heaven, he hurriedly ran over, and appeared in front of the Son of Heaven in less than half an hour.
The Son of Heaven cordially pulled him in front of him, sat facing him, and told him about Himiko, Cao Song was not displeased, he understood that the Son of Heaven was not just a simple marriage, he had more intentions, if Cao Cao could achieve his intentions for the Son of Heaven, he would only feel happy, Cao Cao is now the most outstanding son of the entire Cao family.
He wanted to let some other Cao disciples go to Cao Cao and work for him, but Cao Cao has not allowed it, Cao Cao believes that the position he holds is very special, called Sanhan Xiang, but in fact, he has jurisdiction and governance over the entire Sanhan region, if he can't wait to install closeness under his command at this moment, he is afraid that this position, he can't sit still.
Therefore, hearing the edict of the Son of Heaven, Cao Song was very happy in his heart, the Son of Heaven was able to introduce Cao Cao as a confidant, and in the future, he would install the children of the Cao family, and the Son of Heaven would not be too jealous or disgusted.
Himiko and others stayed in Luoyang for another six or seven days, and then set off to return, Huyi was going to return to the Wa Kingdom directly, and Himiko was going to Sanhan to meet Cao Cao, because the Han was ready to help the two countries integrate the surrounding countries, and the boundaries had to be agreed upon by the two of them, Himihu was left in Sanhan, and Huyi was able to go back earlier, which was very beneficial to the Wa slave country.
The Son of Heaven made people find a seat, placed outside the main hall, with a blazing light on his head, Song Dian wanted to recruit the palace maid who held the umbrella, but was rejected by the Son of Heaven, he enjoyed such a gentle sunshine, as if the cold heart was gradually becoming warm under the irradiation, for a whole day, the Son of Heaven did nothing, he sat outside the hall, resting quietly.
Gradually, in the evening, the sun slowly set, leaving only the afterglow, the sky was dyed red, the Son of Heaven breathed deeply, looking at the sun, Song Dian stood not far away, his head bowed, and there were no other people around.
The Son of Heaven trembled, slowly got up, and glared angrily at the sun that was about to set.
"Stop !!!!! me"
He roared suddenly, Song Dian was shocked, raised his head, but saw the sunset on the finger of the Son of Heaven, and roared in his mouth, with the roar of the Son of Heaven, the guards stationed around rushed in, holding spears, wrapping the surroundings, the hand of the Son of Heaven pointing to the sun was still trembling, but the sun was falling little by little, and the Son of Heaven roared: "I told you not to fall!!! ”
Song Dian repelled the soldiers who came and slowly walked behind the Son of Heaven, the Son of Heaven stared at the setting sun, tears overflowed from the corners of his eyes, Song Dian lowered his head and said: "Your Majesty, the sun rises and sets, the Tao also, it falls today, and from tomorrow..."
The big fat man trembled, the tears disappeared, he sighed, turned his head and walked towards the main hall, Song Dian followed closely behind him, the big fat man returned to the main hall, and began to check the texts from all over the place, and kept writing something, Song Dian didn't dare to ask again, what he said just now, in fact, he was already a little rebellious, but he had followed the Son of Heaven for more than 20 years, and he really couldn't see the Son of Heaven so lonely.
The big fat man thought about it seriously, he was writing an essay about the prince's association, he was going to give Chen Liufeng to Liu Xie, and send him to Chen Liu, this was to prevent some problems in the future, he knew in his heart that Liu Xie was still very young now, and logically speaking, he couldn't be sent to the fiefdom, but he couldn't go, even if he knew that the queen and the queen mother would be strong and repeated, but he still had to go.
As for Liu An, he doesn't have to be in such a hurry to go to his fiefdom, what's more, for him, the big fat man has other arrangements, Liu An marries the daughter of Huyi, and he will have a legal theory for the Wa region in the future, then, it is most suitable to crown him as the Wa King, and the Wa Kingdom can also become one of the territories of the Han Dynasty in the future, but he is not in a hurry to do so.
Now Himiko and the rest of the countries have not been able to pacify, if they are in a hurry to crown Liu An as king, it will definitely cause a backlash from the countries, and the Wa Kingdom and the Han Dynasty do not border, relying on 5,000 soldiers, I am afraid that it will be difficult to suppress them all, the Son of Heaven is anxious to think in his heart, in addition, there is also the matter of the prince marrying Cai Yongnu, which must also be completed as soon as possible, so that the prince will also have Cai Yong's support in the temple in the future.
He wrote quickly on the paper, the three princes and nine qing, the names of the ministers appeared on the paper one by one, Cai Yong arranged it, and the other one was Zhang He, although Zhang He was not an important minister in the court, but he held the embroidered messenger in his hand, the eyes and ears of the Son of Heaven, this guy must be firmly controlled by the debate, otherwise it will be a big trouble, he is too handy now, this is not good.
Wang Fu, although he is arrogant, he is unpopular, and he is ranked as Situ, and he will not pose any threat to the debate.
As for Yuan Feng, his eldest son Yuan Shu is extremely friendly with the prince and has a close relationship, he doesn't have to think about it, Zhang Wen is holding military power, but he is too old, he must still stay in the position of the captain, a captain who can be controlled is indispensable, Sun Jian, he has to rely on Dong Zhuo, Zhang Wen, and Yuan Shu to sanction.
The Son of Heaven thought frantically, his face turned red, he raised his head and breathed deeply, he then asked Song Dian to find Wang Fu, and said: "I want to crown the prince Xie as the king of Chen Liu, you can send someone to escort him to his country, arrange a place to stay, and after the arrangement is perfect, he will return to the ..... of Luoyang", Wang Fu was stunned for a moment, nodded, left in a hurry, wrote the edict, and went to find Liu Xie again.
Subsequently, the Son of Heaven hurriedly summoned Yuan Feng, when Yuan Feng arrived, he saw that the Son of Heaven's face was extraordinarily pale, and sweat was dripping from his forehead, he was taken aback, and quickly knelt down in front of the Son of Heaven, the Son of Heaven smiled and said: "Yuan Gong, to tell you the truth, this family, I really hate it, you control the officials of the world, I am uneasy..."
"However, Yuan Gong is different from them, the only family I can trust and think of as a confidant is only Yuan Gong, my eldest son, after all, he is young, but he has been taught by He Shi, Jia Xu, Xun You, and Wang Fu, and now he can also be a face, but Yuan Gong still needs a lot of support...."
"Your Majesty...."Yuan Feng cried and said: "Your Majesty, don't say this, when the prince ascends the throne, the old minister will be gone..."
"Yuan Gong, from sunset.... Hahaha, it doesn't have to be like this..."The big fat man laughed, he sent back the surrounding yellow gates, and hurriedly explained something to Yuan Feng, Yuan Feng firmly remembered the things that the Son of Heaven had explained, and arched his hand and said: "I will not disappoint Your Majesty...."
In just one day, the Son of Heaven summoned many ministers and explained many things.
"Liu Hong!"
Suddenly, a person shouted the name of the big fat man, the big fat man raised his head with some difficulty, but it was the queen mother on crutches and rushed in, she was extremely angry, gritted her teeth, he raised the crutches, and said angrily: "Xie'er is only eight years old!" Why did you kick him out of the palace!! ”
"He's still such a young child, he's alone, so able to live in Chenliu, I'm old, just him and An'er are by my side, do you want to be angry with me!! He's your child, don't you feel the slightest bit distressed? Are you just driving a child that far away?! ”
The Son of Heaven looked over, there was no speech, the surrounding yellow doors did not dare to stay, hurriedly walked out, guarding the door, the queen was coming in from the outside, she obviously cried just now, her eyes were red and swollen, she held Liu Xie, who was only seven years old this year, Liu Xie walked in with some fear, he was born not very good, and he looked weak at the moment.
The queen hurriedly stepped forward and stopped the queen mother, crying, but she couldn't speak, Xiao Liu Xie wiped her tears and said, "The son came to say goodbye to his father...."
“... Well... Well... Hmm..."The Son of Heaven sat on the bed, lowered his head, just hummed a few times, his appearance made the Queen Mother even more angry, and he scolded again, Liu Xie wiped his tears, and the big fat man slowly raised his head and said: "Xie'er, come...."
Liu Xie sobbed, walked to the side of the big fat man, the big fat man hugged him suddenly, hugged him tightly, and whispered in his ear: "Xie'er, don't blame Father, Father loves you very much...", he let go of Liu Xie again, looked at the yellow door at the door, and said coldly: "Take King Chen Liu, prepare for life, rush to Chen Liu, within a year, you don't have to go back!" ”
"Yes!" Huangmen stepped forward and took Liu Xie out, Liu Xie cried, but there was nothing to do, the Queen Mother glanced at the Son of Heaven viciously, turned around and walked out, Queen Song was also crying, looking at the front, suddenly some strange Son of Heaven, and said goodbye: "The concubine is unwell, so she will leave...", she did not listen to the Son of Heaven to stay, so she turned around and returned to the palace.
The big fat man was alone, sitting in this hall, just like twenty-one years ago, when he was connected to Luoyang, at that time, he was also alone, staying here, his face was calm, so that Song Dian took the yellow door to retreat, dragged his shoes, and went to bed.
"Ah~~My Xie'er, my Xie'er~~"
Lying on the bed, the big fat man cried, he was reluctant, thinking of Liu Xie's aggrieved and weak figure just now, his heart was a burst of pain, the big fat man read Liu Xie's name, covered his chest, and cried.
When Princess Raoyang was brought to the main hall by the palace maid, the big fat man slowly opened his eyes, his face was extremely calm, there was no abnormality, he picked up the little Princess Raoyang, looked at the yellow door, and said: "Tonight, I will have a banquet in Qiongyuan, the queen mother, the queen, the prince, will come!" Don't miss out! ”
These little yellow gates, who have been living a little frightened recently, received the order, and immediately went to implement it.
The queen is still easy to speak, after Huangmen's bitter plea, she agreed to the invitation of the Son of Heaven, but the queen mother was still angry and didn't want to come at all, or Song Dian came forward and said: "The queen mother... The slave maid saw that His Majesty was unwell... Lately, I've been feeling chest tightness and heartache...."
The Queen Mother just came, of course, the little fat man has no right to object, he heard Liu Xie's matter, and he couldn't bear it, Liu Xie is the brother of his mother's compatriots, this Liu An has not left, why is my brother leaving, thinking that he will intercede with the Son of Heaven later, he also hurried over, and when they all arrived, the Son of Heaven sat on the top and waited for them.
One after another, the Queen Mother was shocked.
On the case, it is still a fish when it is boiled.
However, the chopsticks are only in front of the big fat man, and in front of the rest of the people, and they are not.
The big fat man didn't say a word, slowly picked up a piece of fish, looked at the surrounding people, the prince hadn't figured out the situation yet, the queen mother trembled in her heart, and the queen seemed to understand something, the son of heaven put the fish in the prince's bowl, frowned, and said, "Eat!" ”
The little fat man was stunned for a moment and said, "Father, you haven't eaten yet, not to mention the eldest mother and grandmother..."
"I told you to eat!"
The little fat man helplessly picked up the fish and ate a small bite.
"This fish, in the world, only you can eat it, they can't!"
The big fat man said coldly.
The little fat man trembled, looking directly at the father in front of him, the Son of Heaven turned his head, looked at the Queen Mother and the Queen, his face was pale, trembling all over, and said: "Two days later, I will marry the daughter of the Cai family for the Son of Heaven!" ”
"Yes!" The queen said immediately.
The Queen Mother looked at the big fat man with some hesitation, and said with some concern: "Hong'er, are you okay?" ”
"Mother...."
The Queen Mother clearly saw tears in his eyes.
