Chapter XXXVIII

Seeing Cai Wenji crying with pear blossoms and rain, Kang Peng always loved her deeply, and couldn't bear it, so he took her little hand and comforted her in a low voice: "Don't cry, although your father is guilty, Lone will not let him implicate you, you are still Lone's wife, let's go home and talk about it." Cai Wenji still wanted to play petty, but when she saw that Wen Lu was still watching and was delaying beside her, she suddenly didn't dare to say more, put away her tears and retreated obediently.

Being so troubled by Cai Wenji and Wen Lu, Kang Peng was no longer in the mood to catch up with Wenwu, pulled up Cai Wenji with his left hand, pulled Wen Lu up with his right hand and walked on the big chariot pulled by eight yellow horses, and set off to return to Chang'an, Li Ru and Jia Xu led the Xiliang army Wen, Lu Bu and Pang De led the generals to follow the car, along the way the gentry and people burned incense and the people burned incense, and the soldiers lined up to salute and chanted together, "His Royal Highness King Kang is a thousand years old and a thousand years old!" "The sonic boom is in the sky.

Not long after, Kang Peng and his entourage came to the majestic Chang'an City, the city gate was in full swing, no one organized and forced, the people of the city had already arrived in front of the city gate to greet them, kneeling in the ice and snow of the cold winter wax moon. When the farming was idle, there were still many people who rushed to Chang'an from Xianyang, Gaoling and Jingyang near Chang'an, just to welcome Kang Peng's return to Chang'an for the first time after taking Erzhou, and specially came to see Kang Peng's carrying ceremony. Chang'an, which is already the largest city in the world, is still crowded, shoulder to shoulder, back rubbing, and there is no edge in sight.

There were snowflakes floating in the gray sky, and the north wind was blowing strongly, but Kang Peng's heart was hot, and he was so excited that he had tears in his eyes.

"His Royal Highness King Kang, Chitose Chitose, Chitose! His Royal Highness King Kang Chitose Chitose Chitose! Seeing Kang Peng's convoy coming, earth-shattering shouts erupted among the people of Chang'an, especially those refugees from the Central Plains who fled to Luoyang from the Central Plains and were brought to Chang'an by Kang Peng from Luoyang, shouted even harder, almost shouting with a throat-tearing voice.

Kang Peng wiped away his tears, told the coachman to stop, stood up in the car and waved his hand, the crowd that was so lively just now that it seemed to be boiling a pot immediately quieted down, quietly waiting for Kang Peng to speak, Kang Peng cleared his throat, and was about to thank the people of Chang'an with his unique broken gong, but there was an exclamation from the crowd, "Dragon!" Dragon! Oh my God, the dragon has descended! ”

Kang Peng was overjoyed in his heart, turned his head to look, and saw that on Jingxiu Mountain, which was shrouded in clouds and mist in the distance south of Chang'an City, a green dragon dozens of zhang long loomed in the clouds and mist, and from time to time it rolled and twisted. No wonder when Hua Xin was the usurper of Cao Pi back then, all the green dragon unicorns moved out, but no one doubted it.

The green dragon tumbled for about half a pillar of incense for about half a time, until a burst of floating clouds drifted by, the green dragon disappeared, hundreds of thousands of Chang'an people were stunned for a long time, and suddenly burst out with an earth-shaking shout, "The green dragon is born, God bless King Kang!" "King Kang is the true son of heaven!" "Long live King Kang!" All kinds of shouts, to name a few, even the spies of the princes lurking in Chang'an couldn't help but shout along, thinking that Kang Peng was the real son of heaven.

When the people of Chang'an fell into a frenzy of singing praises to Kang Peng, Kang Peng's little wife Huang Yueying quietly touched the big golden car, attached to Kang Peng's ear and whispered: "You big liar, your fake green dragon can deceive others but can't fool me, honestly, do you let people draw a green dragon on the cloth fan, and then open it on the mountain, light a fire behind the cloth fan, and the cloth fan is automatically twisted by the hot and cold air, and it looks like you are moving?" And my eight-array diagram with your hot air balloon one principle. Kang Peng was willing to admit, patted her little face, and said in a low voice: "Don't talk nonsense, do you think that you are not worthy of being a true dragon prince?" Huang Yueying smiled again and again, and quietly slipped off the golden car.

With the propaganda of Hua Xin, the number one god stick of the Han Dynasty, Kang Peng, the incomparable worship of Kang Peng by the people of Chang'an was completely converted into fanaticism, and Kang Peng said in the carriage that he needed to build a stone altar within a radius of nine miles as the king, hoping that the people of Chang'an would help the army with construction and pay the wages in full. As a result, hundreds of thousands of people didn't say a word, and immediately rolled up their sleeves and went into the mountains to carry the big stones, and in less than a day, the stones needed for the Jiuli stone altar were moved to the construction site, and even the food was brought by the people; Kang Peng said that he hoped that all the people would be present as much as possible on the day of the enthronement, but the people immediately said that they would climb even if they broke their legs that day......

After entering the city, the first thing Kang Peng did when he returned home was to take Wen Lu and Huang Yueying to kowtow to Mrs. Dong to say goodbye, and was hugged by Mrs. Dong and cried; In the evening, Kang Peng held a banquet at his home to entertain civil and military officials, gentry and celebrities and representatives of the people, and the guests and hosts enjoyed the banquet; After the banquet dispersed, Kang Peng found a problem that gave him an extremely headache - he didn't know how to go to sleep in the wife's room! The two princesses were looking at him with blank eyes, Fu Yu was also waiting for him to explain the matter of Fu Wan with tears in his eyes, Xiu'er, Zhen Mi and Gan Mi had low statuses and didn't dare to fight with them, but they also quietly threw flattering eyes at Kang Peng, hoping that Kang Peng could go to their room. Only Wen Lu has been often moistened recently, and she is embarrassed to rob Kang Peng's wife who has not seen her for a long time, so she took Wen Zhen back to the room early, while Huang Yueying went to the secret room where Kang Peng collected the two cars, even if Kang Peng begged her at this moment, she refused to come out again.

"I have you in the mud, and I have me in the mud." Kang Peng was in a difficult situation, and the graceful sound of the piano and singing came from Cai Wenji's room in the backyard, and Cai Wenji sang: "I am born with you and die in the same coffin." Hearing this song, Kang Peng smiled awkwardly at the two princesses and Fu Yu as if he had been enchanted, and flew into the backyard, leaving the disappointed women in the backhall.

As soon as Kang Peng arrived in front of Cai Wenji's room, the singing did not stop, and the door suddenly opened, Wu Xin's more and more mature and beautiful little face appeared in front of Kang Peng, Kang Peng laughed lewdly, picked up Wu Xin, closed the door with his backhand, and whispered in her ear: "You were lonely when you turned thirteen, and today you have to fulfill your promise to Lone." Wu Xin was so ashamed that her face was flushed, but she didn't hide or run away, but instead pasted her newly developed small breasts on Kang Peng's chest, gently rubbed and flattered, Kang Peng's heart was moved, and she tore Wu Xin's blouse, took her tender red ** into her mouth, and sucked it soundly.

"Xianggong, it turns out that you didn't come to my room for me." Cai Wenji's sour voice sounded, "It turned out to be for Sister Xin, then I'll let you tonight." Kang Peng smiled lewdly, hugged Wu Xin, who was too ashamed to open his eyes, to the bed, and went back to pick up Cai Wenji, put them on the bed together, threw off his boots, and pounced directly, "Two good wives, don't worry, I will comfort you one by one." ”

"Bang, Bang, Bang." The bangzi of the third watch sounded, and Cai Wenji was satisfied to lie on Kang Peng's fat belly and gasp, while Wu Xin, who was new to personnel, was already tired like a puddle of soft mud, and fell asleep on Kang Peng's fat legs. Kang Peng's two fat hands stroked the two beauties respectively, and asked worriedly, "Xiangxiang, is she okay?" Zhou Yu killed her father, she must have cried to death. ”

"How can it be okay?" Cai Wenji said faintly: "I cried and fainted four times, and I started to think that you killed her father, and I wanted to seek revenge on you, and made a fuss at home, and finally I had no choice but to let the swallow group imprison her in the room, but she still scolded you every day in the prison, saying that she was going to break your body into ten thousand pieces, and even me and Xin'er went to see her, and she ignored us." ”

"Don't worry." Kang Peng comforted Cai Wenji and said: "Lone received an urgent report, the swallow group and the dark moon group have rescued Huang Gai, and Lone has ordered someone to send Huang Gai and Ce'er to Chang'an, and when they arrive, Lone will be able to wash away her grievances, and she will also reconcile with you." ”

"I'm afraid I'm going to get back together with you in bed, okay?" Cai Wenji's jealousy has never changed, and she took a bite of Kang Peng's fat meat, and said viciously: "Tell me honestly, how did you hook up with those two fox spirits?" Also, why was my father dismissed? Did you have those two vixens and you wanted to demote me to a concubine? Straighten them out? ”

"How dare you?" Kang Peng smiled bitterly, recounted his acquaintance with Wen Lu and Huang Yueying, and explained Cai Yong's collusion with Cao Cao several times, and finally, Kang Peng kissed Cai Wenji's face lightly, and said in a low voice: "Good baby, you don't have to worry, your position will never be shaken, you go and persuade his father, as long as he is willing to repent, Gu will let him be reinstated." ”

Cai Wenji was silent for a long time, and finally nodded reluctantly: "Okay, I'll try, but my father is very stubborn, and I'm not sure I can understand him." Speaking of this, Cai Wenji changed to a vicious voice again, pinched Kang Peng's fat belly and said fiercely: "Since that fox spirit gave birth to a daughter, then let her enter the door of our house, but I warn you, if she dares to beat me again, don't blame my subordinates for being ruthless." ”

Kang Peng's brows furrowed slightly, Cai Wenji's words made him a little uncomfortable, because Wen Lu gave birth to a daughter, Cai Wenji allowed her to enter the house, the implication is that if Wen Lu, who is also favored by himself, gives birth to a son and threatens the status of Cai Wenji's son, then Cai Wenji will not be so happy. Kang Peng was angry, but Cai Wenji stuck it up in a charming way, and her breasts, which became plump after breastfeeding, kept rubbing Kang Peng's chest, and exhaled like an orchid in her small mouth, "Old ugly ghost, I still want you to be tired on me tonight, and you will have no strength when you go to another woman's room tomorrow night." ”

Alas, Kang Peng sighed in his heart, or only by unscrupulously competing for favor and doing everything possible to love herself and her son is the expression of this eccentric Cai Wenji's love for herself. Thinking of this, Kang Peng had no scruples, and pressed Cai Wenji on the bed and loved him, and after Wu Xin was awakened, he lay on Kang Peng's body again to assist Kang Peng and Cai Wenji's intimacy, and he had no sleep all night.

In the following days, Fa Zheng, Xu Jing and Xu Shu of Yizhou rushed back to Chang'an, and representatives of officials from Jing and Liang prefectures arrived, and Yuan Shao also sent an envoy Guo Tu to come to congratulate, and more people came from all over the country, and Chang'an City was full. The military and civilian workers were busy building altars and utensils, and Kang Peng also took the time to take Wen Lu to Wen Ping's grave to pay respects, and Wen Lu cried a lot.

On the twelfth day of the first month of the fifth year of the first peace, Kang Peng ascended the nine-mile long altar under the support of Jia Xu and Li Ru, Kang Peng worshiped the crown jade seal, sat facing south, the civil and military officials were arranged on the altar according to the official position, the people knelt down under the altar, the five-color banner stood like a dense forest, and when Kang Peng sat down, Ma Liang, the envoy of Jingzhou, presented the battle report of the four counties of Jingzhou with both hands, and conquered the four counties as a congratulatory gift for the Jingzhou army, the army and the people shouted long live, Kang Peng was naturally overjoyed.

After all the ceremonies were completed, it was finally time for the Xiliang army to look forward to the reward, Kang Peng was not stingy at all this time, and immediately named Li Ru as the Taifu and led the civil affairs, Xu Jing and Sima Lang were both Shang Shuling, Hua Xin was the sacrificial wine, Jia Xu was the main army division, in charge of military expeditions, and Pang Tong, Xu Shu and Fa Zheng were the deputy military divisions to assist Jia Xu. In terms of military affairs, Kang Peng officially crowned Lu Su as the assassin of Jingzhou, added the governor of the water army, Lu Bu as the general, Zhao Yun, Gan Ning, Ma Chao, Xu Huang, Zhang Liao, Pang De, Zhang Xiu and Wei Yan were the eight tiger generals, Xu Rong added the history of the Yongzhou assassin, Niu Fu served as the history of the Liangzhou assassin, Zhang Liao and Wu Yi respectively served as the governor of Bingzhou and Yizhou, and the rest of the civil and military officials were rewarded.

After Kang Peng finished rewarding, he was about to order the hundred officials to disband, Fa Zheng cautiously reminded Kang Peng: "His Royal Highness King Kang, has His Royal Highness forgotten that you have not yet established the prince of the king?" Fa Zheng said this almost on behalf of all the officials to ask Kang Peng, Boss Dong's body is already fifty-six years old, and only by preparing the crown prince can the Xiliang Army prevent it.

Kang Peng glanced at Fa Zheng, and said loudly: "Lone is still young, in his prime, the matter of the crown prince will be discussed later." At that moment, Fa Zheng didn't dare to say more, and retreated separately with the hundred officials, escorting Kang Peng back to his home, which had been renamed King Kang's Palace. On the way, Li Ru quietly found an opportunity and said to Jia Xu alone: "Thank God, I'm really worried that my father-in-law will immediately determine the crown prince, if that's the case, that Miss Cai won't raise her tail to the sky?" ”

Jia Xu remained silent and said lightly: "I look at King Kang, and I have really established the second prince as the prince in my heart, but King Kang doesn't want to say it yet." Li Ru was about to ask again, but Jia Xu waved his hand to stop Li Ru from speaking, and said in his ear: "Xianjia, I know that you are thinking about King Kang, so I advise you, never mention the matter of the crown prince in front of King Kang, let alone participate in the affairs between the princes, King Kang's heart understands better than anyone else." Li Ru seemed to understand whether he understood or not, but he had always believed Jia Xu, and never mentioned this matter in front of Kang Peng again.

That night, Kang Peng was still in the study to deal with the official documents, Cai Wenji came to him with red eyes, after leaving the servant, Cai Wenji knelt down to Kang Peng, crying loudly, Kang Peng hurriedly helped her up, asked the reason, but Cai Wenji just cried, refused to say anything, after Kang Peng asked again and again, Cai Wenji sobbed and said: "Xianggong, you give me a letter of resignation, I know you don't like me anymore, that letter of resignation, it's better to give it late than early, I can take Peng'er away, so as not to hinder your eyes." ”

"What are you talking about?" Kang Peng took Cai Wenji into his arms, wiped away her tears, and asked in surprise: "Gu's most beloved lady is you, why do you say that Lone wants to abandon you?" ”

Cai Wenji cried so much that she leaned on Kang Peng's arms and cried: "You lied, how did you promise me before?" But now that you've brought back that fierce vixen, your heart has changed, you don't like me anymore, you only like her now. ”

"Silly girl." Kang Peng felt distressed for a while, raised Cai Wenji's pretty face, and kissed lightly: "Although Wenlu has sacrificed his life to save Gu's life several times, but in Gu's heart, you are still the first, don't think nonsense, go back first, and go to your room alone tonight." ”

Hearing Kang Peng's sincere words, Cai Wenji burst into tears and laughed, pouted casually, and muttered: "I don't believe it, you promised me to make Peng'er your sister-in-law before, but what did you do today?" If you don't set up a son, you obviously want to wait for that vixen to give birth to a son, and then set up her son as a son, you are partial. ”

"Alas, it turns out that you are sad for such a trivial matter." Kang Peng suddenly realized, patted the fat head and smiled bitterly. Cai Wenji bit lightly on his shoulder and said dissatisfiedly: "What a trivial matter? It's a trivial matter about the future of you and my son? ”

Kang Peng laughed for a moment, attached it to Cai Wenji's ear, and whispered: "Wenji, what Lone said to you, you must not leak it, Lone does not establish a son, it is precisely because Lone decided to establish Peng'er as the son of the world, and you also know ......." ”

After Kang Peng finished speaking, Cai Wenji opened her mouth wide, pondered for a moment, and bit Kang Peng's shoulder again, but this time the bite was lighter, Cai Wenji said happily: "Finally, you still have a little conscience and know how to think about our mother and son." Speaking of this, Cai Wenji was worried again: "But when Peng'er grew up, they were also in the prime of life, could Peng'er suppress them?" ”

Kang Peng's face was expressionless, but a trace of ruthless light flashed in his eyes, and he said coldly: "Can't hold it down? With the matter of the Marquis of Huaiyin in front of you, are you still worried that you can't hold it down? ”

Kang Peng's cold voice made Cai Wenji shudder, and Cai Wenji didn't dare to mention it anymore at the moment, so she flattered: "Xianggong, it's late, I'll serve you to rest." Cai Wenji gently pulled off her shirt and put on a charming appearance of following Kang Peng in everything, but Kang Peng held her down and said gently: "Don't do it first, I summoned Jia Junshi and them to discuss matters, and when I finish my business, I will go to your room again." Cai Wenji was overjoyed, and kissed Kang Peng's ugly face several times before leaving.

After a while, the soldiers came to report that Jia Xu and others had arrived in the secret room, Kang Peng immediately rushed to the secret room, in the room Jia Xu, Li Ru, Xu Shu, Xu Jing and Sima Lang, Fa Zheng, Hua Xin and others had already arrived, seeing Kang Peng come in, everyone came over to salute together, "The ministers have seen King Kang, King Kang is a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old." ”

"No need to be polite." Kang Peng waved his hand to let everyone sit down, and when everyone was seated, Kang Peng split his head and covered his face and said: "I recruited you overnight, there is a big matter for one of you to do, see which of you is willing to go." ”

Everyone glanced at each other, and Fa Zheng said cautiously: "Dare to ask King Kang, but what about Yuan Shao?" ”

"That's right." Kang Peng nodded, took out a letter from his arms and threw it on the table, and said with a cruel smile: "Gu Gang took the position, and Yuan Shao's old boy couldn't help it, so he sent Guo Tu to bring a letter to Gu, hoping that Gu would reward him Jiuxi and let him take the throne of King Chen." (Note: The king of the Han Dynasty can give the princes Jiuxi again, and the king of Wu of Sun Quan is given by Cao Cao in the name of the king of Wei - on the condition that Sun Quan will take the attack feather from behind!) )

"Yuan Shao'er, dare to do this?" Sima Lang said angrily: "King Kang rejected the Qiang tribe in the west, raised the imperial court internally, and allocated two states, Fang Meng gave nine tin, he Yuan Shao colluded with Karasuma to forcibly seize the imperial court and the two states, what qualifications do you have to be king?" I think his Yuan Shao's ambition is not under his brother who is the emperor! ”

Kang Peng sneered: "Bo Da Mo is in a hurry, Gu plans to give him Jiuxi, but it is not for nothing." ”

"Order him to attack Cao Cao!" Dong Zhuojun's strategists, who had sores on the top of their heads and pus on the soles of their feet, shouted in unison.

Kang Peng nodded with satisfaction, it is convenient to talk to smart people, Cao Cao will not die when he destroys Kang Peng's heart, and if he does not find someone to drag him, no one can guarantee that Cao Cao will drum up the third anti-Dong alliance, and Yuan Shao's territory borders the rear of Dong Zhuo's army, Kang Peng's troops were insufficient when he attacked Jingzhou, but he did not dare to use Xu Rong and Xu Huang's troops who were close at hand, because he was afraid that Yuan Shao would stab him in the rear of Dong Zhuo's army, and only by letting Yuan Shao and Cao Cao face the enemy, the pressure on Dong Zhuo's rear could be reduced.

"But can Yuan Shao listen to King Kang?" Xu Jing frowned and said: "Yuan Shao has a lot of wise and resourceful people, Xu You, Guo Tu, Judge and Fu Zhu are not general, Tian Feng is even more dangerous, and he has always been hostile to the Taishi, they will definitely advise Yuan Shao." ”

"Hehehehe." Jia Xuyin smiled and said, "Lord Xu doesn't have to worry, don't you see that the king is already confident?" Otherwise, the king would not just say that he would choose one of us to move Yuan Shao. ”

Everyone turned to Kang Peng suspiciously, Kang Peng smiled and nodded, and admitted: "Yes, Gu already has a plan, maybe he can break through Yuan Shao's strategists and persuade Yuan Shao to attack Cao with all his might." Speaking of this, Kang Peng said modestly: "Of course, Lone's strategy may have flaws, you see, how to make up for it?" ”
