In the early morning of the next day, the sun gradually rose from the east, and the generals and ministers everywhere got up one after another, had breakfast, practiced martial arts when they should practice martial arts, practiced martial arts in the morning, and were busy with work, each with their own things; Only the back house of Zhao Xu's mansion is still quiet.

"Husband, it's time to get up, what time is this?" Zhao Xue poked her head out of the middle of the brocade and looked at Zhao Xu gently.

"Good, good!" Zhao Xu said with pity and love, "Isn't this all for the sake of accompanying you!" ”

"Giggle......" Zhao Xue shook her head, nudged Zhao Xu, and said with a smile, "Husband, men should focus on fame and career, how can they indulge in gentleness, you are like this, don't blame the concubine for looking down on you......"

A career of fame? Zhao Xu heard these two words and suddenly stirred his mind, my God, I almost forgot all about business! Looking at the face of the beauty in his arms, he couldn't help but think in his heart, no wonder even a character like Tang Xuanzong would indulge in the gentle township, no wonder it was said that it was difficult for kings to be early in ancient times.

"Not for this fame and fortune, just for your future happiness and the inheritance of future generations, as well as the peace and health of the world, I also have to ......" Zhao Xu thought clearly in his mind, not to mention not much to say, he hurriedly jumped up from the bed, and in the end, he couldn't help but put his face in front of Zhao Xue, gently kissed her on the snow-white forehead, and said with a smile: "For the husband, I will go out to take care of affairs first." ”

Zhao Xu had just gotten up, Zhao Xue sat up, her face flushed, and shouted, "Husband... You... You haven't got your clothes on yet. Do you want to go out naked to meet people? ”

Zhao Xu looked down at him, and then remembered that he was still naked, so he hurriedly turned around to get his clothes, and looked at Zhao Xue hehe, but his eyes were half-covered and half-concealed exquisite jade body! Half-exposed breasts. "Goo......" Zhao Xu swallowed his saliva with difficulty, for fear that he would not be able to bear it, so he hurriedly put on his clothes, and then jumped out like a fly. Zhao Xue looked at Zhao Xu's flustered and slightly embarrassed figure, and laughed out loud, her face full of happiness and sweetness.

Zhao Xu walked to the front yard and found that Zhao Yun, Chen Dao, Dian Wei and other people were practicing martial arts in the courtyard, wow! Dare to love yourself is still the last. Without waiting for Zhao Xu to speak, Chen Zhi saw Zhao Xu early and exclaimed jokingly: "Boxiong, get up so early!" ”

Zhao Yun, Dian Wei and others were stunned for a moment, and they all laughed "haha".

"Hey! You... Huh, you guys! Zhao Xu was so embarrassed that he didn't know how to speak, and in his eagerness, he had to laugh with everyone.

"Report, sir, the emperor and the lord are here!" Everyone was laughing, and the housekeeper in Zhao Xu's mansion walked in and reported.

Emperor? Lord? It's going to be a reward for me, it's not going to be ...... Zhao Xu thought in his heart.

Everyone looked at each other and nodded, and Zhao Xu ordered: "Hurry up and go out to greet you!" ”

When everyone heard this, they also hurriedly went out with Zhao Xu to greet them, and before they reached the door, Liu Xie, the son of heaven, and Liu Bei, the lord of his own family, as well as Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, had already walked in from outside, and everyone hurriedly saluted. said in unison: "I don't know if Your Majesty is coming, I will miss the welcome, forgive my sins." ”

Liu Xie saw that Chen Zhi and the others were there, he was stunned at first, and he also knew that Liu Bei had a good relationship with Zhao Xu, so he didn't think much about it, so he hurriedly walked up to Zhao Xu and the others and said: "No courtesy, please be even!" ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Everyone responded, and then got up, to be honest, Zhao Xu hated this kind of salute very much, it was too troublesome. And it's just to salute Liu Bei, and it's really a little aggrieved to salute Liu Xie.

"Boxiong, we are here today for national affairs, but for the public, so we don't need to be polite." Before Zhao Xu could ask, Liu Bei was preconceived and said with a smile.

"Oh! That is, Your Majesty, the Lord... Uncle Huang, and all of you, please put it inside! And let Zhao Xu do his meager gift. In front of Liu Xie, Zhao Xu couldn't directly call Liu Bei.

After that, Zhao Xu led Liu Xie, Liu Bei and others in, went straight into the hall, arranged for everyone to sit down, and ordered the slaves and maids to go down to arrange tea.

Liu Xie first said: "Zhao Aiqing and several Aiqing pacified the rebellion in Xuzhou and exterminated the thieves, which is really a great achievement, gratifying!" I am also very pleased. ”

"Your Majesty, the last general and several generals were ordered to beg for thieves, fortunately not dishonored, wiped out the rebellious army, and recovered the land of Xuzhou, it is really the blessing of Your Majesty, and the bloody battle of all the soldiers, Zhao Xu just said a few words, how to talk about any great merit." Zhao Xu said with a smile.

"Aiqing must be humble at the end, Zhao Aiqing and Uncle Huang have all Aiqing are the talents of my Han Dynasty, not to mention that this time to pacify the rebellion in Xuzhou, thanks to General Zhao, you use soldiers, General Zhao, you are strong in martial arts, and you are good at battle, and you can also govern the army, and your reputation is spread far and wide, which is a rare talent for leading the army. Several generals under Uncle Huang are also talented generals, and I am not mediocre, so I will naturally be rewarded for my merits, so don't shirk again. Liu Xie said with a smile.

Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei also looked at Zhao Xu with satisfaction, most of the three of them have today, and most of them rely on Zhao Xu's work, so in the hearts of the three of them, they have long regarded Zhao Xu as another sworn brother, although there is no actual worship, but the feelings are no less than that of their own brothers, so Zhao Xu was rewarded, and the three of them were also happy.

Zhao Xu hurriedly knelt down and said: "Your Majesty must not, instead of rewarding us with gold, silver and jewelry, it is better to enrich these into the treasury, or send them to the people, anyway, even Your Majesty will give these rewards to us, we will also deal with it like this, Weichen is bold, please Your Majesty will give our rewards to the people, so that the people can feel Your Majesty's kindness." ”

Zhao Yun and the others were originally not interested in gold, silver and jewelry, but when they saw Zhao Xu like this, they also quickly knelt down and begged Liu Xie.

Liu Xie didn't know how to deal with it for a while, and looked at Liu Bei, Liu Bei also saw that Liu Xie didn't seem to have seen such a scene, so he quickly got up and said: "Your Majesty, you just promised them, they I know, only strive for the stability of the world, and never covet gold, silver and jewelry." ”

"Alas, since this is the case, then I don't dare to force you Aiqing." Liu Xiechang sighed, "Looking back on those days in the past, to this day, I am like a dream. Since I was rescued by Uncle Huang, I finally enjoyed peace and no longer suffered from thieves and thieves. The emperor's advisers are all skilled in governing the country, and there are not a few people under his subordinates such as Zhao Aiqing who are capable of governing the army. Finally, the sky lived up to me, so that I could get what I wanted, and I got all the capable ministers like Aiqing. I finally let go of my worries, I don't have to worry about my life or death, but I can sit back and relax. Liu Xie said and spoke, but he was moved by his true feelings and cried.

Seeing this, Liu Bei, Zhao Xu and the others hurriedly knelt down and shouted with a slight cry: "Your Majesty, this is God bless my big man, God bless Your Majesty." Zhao Xu didn't react, after all, he was a person from later generations, and when he saw this situation, although he sighed, he still couldn't cry after all. looked around, but was taken aback, seeing that Guan Yu and the others were all bruised, obviously crying, just holding back to not let the tears flow out, and then looking at Liu Bei, it was even more exaggerated, he actually cried out, tears flowed. I'll go, no wonder later generations said that Liu Bei could cry out of the world for three parts, and he cried when he said he cried! This lacrimal gland is really different from others.

Later, Liu Xie and Liu Bei's uncle and nephew hugged each other and cried, and for a long time, both of them were a little hoarse before they stopped.

Liu Xie wiped his tears with his sleeve, and said to Zhao Xu and the others: "You Aiqing are meritorious ministers, and not rewarding them is not enough to be popular, since you don't want gold and silver, this title is not acceptable." After that, he said to the attendant next to him: "Spread my will, add Zhao Xu as the Marquis of Zhongshan, Zhao Yun as the Marquis of Changshan, Chen Zhi as the Marquis of Zhanwu, Dian Wei as the Marquis of Huwei, and Huang Zhong as the Marquis of Guannei, and give 1,000 taels of gold and 500 pieces of court brocade." ”

"No! In accordance with His Majesty's will, Weichen will go to the palace to draft the will. The chamberlain answered, and hurried to the palace.

"I miss Your Majesty a lot." Zhao Xu and the others bowed in unison. I don't want this money, and if I don't want this title, I will slap the emperor in the face and not give face, so Zhao Xu and the others have no reason to refuse, and they will gladly accept it.

At the moment, everyone was happy, and it just so happened that Liu Bei had prepared a banquet in his home early, and arranged for Liu Xie, Zhao Xu and others to go to their homes to celebrate together. After three rounds of drinking, everyone was at least half-drunk, Zhang Fei and others needless to say, they were drunk and unconscious, and Zhao Yun and others were also drunk. Liu Xie was also drunk and couldn't walk, and after sending someone to send away Emperor Liu Xie, Zhao Xu looked at the drunk Zhao Yun, and suddenly remembered something, and with the strength of the wine, he grabbed Liu Bei, barely stood on his rickety body, and asked Liu Bei: "Lord, Zhao Xu has something to ask for." ”

Although Liu Bei was a little puzzled, he still knew that Zhao Xu would not make any excessive demands even if he wanted to, and said: "Boxiong, please speak, be prepared." ”

Zhao Xu smiled and said, "Zhao Xu wants to ask the lord to be a matchmaker for his brother." ”

Liu Bei listened to it and laughed, "It turned out to be this, it's easy to say, Zilong has fought more than ten battles since he was lonely, and he has worked hard, and now he has passed the crown year, and it's time to marry a wife." Whose family is it? ”

Although Zhao Xu was expected, he was still very happy, and said with a smile: "I miss the lord a lot, back to the lord, this person is no one else, but the beloved daughter of Lord Wuwei Hou Ma Tengma, the sister of Xiliang Ma Chao, named Ma Yunlu." If you want to talk about this Ma Yunlu! Strong martial arts, outstanding talents, this fat water does not flow into the fields of outsiders, if Zilong married her, we and Wuwei Hou will also form a family. ”

When Liu Bei heard this, he laughed even more, and said with a smile: "Lone has heard that Ma Shoucheng has a daughter, extraordinary beauty, and heroic and martial arts like his brother Ma Chao, but I have never seen it, and I am busy with affairs, and I don't have time to do this. Boxiong, you don't have to worry, now that Brother Shoucheng is still in Luoyang, I will go to Ma Shoucheng to discuss this matter with him tonight. ”

"Haha! That is, the lord is happy, and Zhao Xu is grateful. ”

"Huh! Where to say, add a great joy, and there is another female general in our army, why not do it! Hahaha! ”
