Chapter 325: The Parents' Orders, the Words of the Matchmaker
After the family of three cleaned up, they all came to the Hanzhong Palace, Zhang Xingcai, under the leadership of the palace people, went straight to the inner mansion to meet Liu Bei's current main room, Mrs. Wu; Zhang Fei took his son Zhang Bao and went straight to the side hall to meet Liu Bei.
After seeing Liu Bei himself, Zhang Bao bowed down and hugged his fists and said: "Zhang Bao greets the lord and thanks the lord for the marriage." ”
Liu Bei saw that he was well recovered, and he was in a good mood when he was in a good mood, so he immediately helped him up and laughed: "My tiger is fine, and I am happy; and married with the family, this two are also happy. ”
Zhang Fei laughed.
During the greetings, Liu Bei instructed everyone to sit down, and said with a smile:
"Speaking of which, the Qin family is a Guanghan surname, with tens of thousands of clans and many talents, not to mention anything else, just say that Qin Mi and Qin Ziyi, it is Zaoli's rhetoric, Feifei has a bright generation, Bao'er You can marry the Qin family, not only does it not insult you, but it will also have infinite benefits for generations to come."
Zhang Bao got up again to thank him, and knelt down again and said, "Thank you, lord!" The minister has recovered this time, please return to the army and share the worries of the Lord! ”
Liu Bei strengthened his ambition, stroked his back and praised: "If it is my tiger, I will allow you to play." ”
He slowly walked back to the desk and sighed suddenly:
"Now Cao Wei usurped the Han Dynasty, the world is turbulent, and Lone is about to work hard, the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains, and sweep away the fierce rebellion. It's a pity that Yizhou is four stops, but there is a beacon fire again, hey, it really doesn't fulfill people's wishes. ”
Zhang Fei was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked, "But where is the rebellion again?" ”
Liu Bei was full of sorrow and sighed:
"After we withdrew our troops, Sun Quan Xiao'er destroyed the covenant without authorization and attacked the Wuxi barbarians. Some time ago, Shamoke sent an envoy to Chengdu to ask for help. It's just that Cao Wei's enemy is in the north, and when we wait for the Northern Expedition, it is rare for Sun Quan Xiao'er to remain neutral, how can Lone send troops to the east again to protect the Shamoke clan? This time, I'm afraid that I will break my promise to Shaqing. ”
Zhang Fei said hatefully: "The blue-eyed thief is really hateful, why didn't he screw his head off that day?" It's hateful! ”
Liu Bei picked up a book from his desk again, and sighed again: "That's it...... A few days ago, a letter came from the Governor's Office, saying that the Governor Deng Fang had died of illness. ”
After a pause, he raised his eyes again and said:
"Yide, you know, the wealthy clans in Nanzhong are all over the place, and most of them are unruly by nature, if there is no such prestige person to preside over the overall situation, I am afraid that it will be chaotic in an instant...... Hey, isn't God really lonely? It is not easy to stabilize the situation in Shuzhong, and when the decisive battle is about to be made, how to plug the turbulence on the side? How could this orphan concentrate on preparing for the Northern Expedition? ”
After that, there was a long sigh.
Seeing this, Zhang Fei got up and patted his chest and said: "Brother only needs to give me 3,000 elite soldiers, and within three months, he will kill Nanzhong with a river of blood, kneel on the ground and ask to surrender, and the guarantee will not affect my brother's plan!" ”
Liu Beiqiang smiled and said: "The Yide battlefield is invincible, this lonely person knows." It's just that the situation is complicated in the south-central border, and it is impossible to achieve long-term peace and stability by killing alone...... It doesn't matter, this matter has already asked Li Hui and Li Deang, he is a native of Yuyuan County, Jianning County, Nanzhong, and he should be able to make suggestions. ”
Zhang Fei scolded for a while, Liu Bei's depressed mood was relieved, and the topic gradually turned to the arrangement of Zhang Bao's marriage, and the atmosphere improved a little for a while.
Since ancient times, marriage has been the order of parents and the words of matchmakers.
At this time, although Liu and Zhang were talking about Zhang Bao, Zhang Bao had to stand still, listen quietly, and did not dare to make any movement.
The two brothers talked for a while, and Liu Bei suddenly said:
"After Bao'er gets married, Gu will point out a family matter to Xing'er, so for Yun Chang, it can be regarded as an explanation."
Zhang Feihuan's eyes were slightly red, and he sighed: "I just hate that the second brother can't witness this moment with us." ”
Liu Bei has a resolute temperament, and after these days of hard thinking, he has already turned his grief and anger into a driving force buried deep in his heart, and he just smiled when he heard this, and said with relief:
"I heard that Cao Cao buried Yun Chang in the suburbs of Luoyang City, why should we be indignant, we just need to recover the two capitals as soon as possible, and we can reunite with Yun Chang as soon as possible."
Zhang Fei's spirit was shocked, and he even claimed that it was.
Liu Bei glanced at him and suddenly smiled:
"Speaking of which, Adou is almost fifteen years old, and it should be the age to get married. Lone originally wanted to choose a woman between Xingcai and Yinping as his yuan, but Xingcai is stable and Yinping is lively, they are all good children, who will be the crown princess, Lone Wei really can't decide. ”
When Zhang Fei heard this, his eyes flashed.
It was his lifelong wish to marry his daughter to his brother's sister-in-law Liu Chan as his wife, so that the two brothers would be close to each other, and the monarch and the minister would be one.
His mouth and nose moved, and he was about to answer, when he suddenly thought of the second brother's children who had lost their father's care and looked lonely.
One side is deep love for women, and the other side is brotherhood, this choice is really difficult to achieve both. He thought about the war between heaven and man in his heart, pondered for a long time, and finally decided to take care of the righteousness between his brothers, and said at the moment:
"Adou marrying his own daughter is my biggest wish in this life, but I also know that this is also my second brother's greatest wish. Now the second brother has gone away with us in one step, leaving behind a weak son and an orphan girl, which is so pitiful. I don't want to take advantage of the danger of others, cut off my second brother's thoughts, and hurt the love between brothers...... Brother, let the doll on the silver screen go to be Adou's crown princess. ”
When Liu Bei heard this, he sighed lightly and said with a wry smile: "Lone originally thought the same, but these days, the country is declining, I can't sleep at night, I often have a faint pain in my chest, and I don't have enough energy to see ......things the next day, and it is difficult to see things."
When he said this, when he saw Zhang Fei's concerned look, he waved his hand and interrupted:
"Lone suddenly had an epiphany, anyone wants to be old, birth, old age, sickness and death are inevitable in life, and no one can take care of their children for a lifetime."
Zhang Fei didn't know why Liu Bei talked about birth, old age, sickness and death, so he had to frown secretly and wait for the following.
Liu Bei smiled slightly, and patiently explained: "What Lone means is that Adou is weak, but he is a middle-aged person, and he is by no means a hero. If he dies one day, he will inevitably rely on the assistance of virtuous ministers and good generals to achieve the vision of rejuvenating the Han dynasty in our generation......"
After a pause, Liu Bei said again:
"The character and appearance of the kid in Yinping naturally don't have to be said, but his temperament is too lively, if he is allowed to be married to Adou, I am afraid that he will not be able to suppress the laziness in Adou's bones...... Looking at Yizhou alone, there is only one person in Xingcai, who is calm and atmospheric enough, not only can she withstand major events, but also can suppress the palace people, only if she stays by Adou's side, can she protect Adou's pro-virtuous ministers, far villains, so lonely can you worry about the future and conquer the Northern Expedition! Even if it is a horse leather shroud, there are no regrets! ”
Hearing these words, Zhang Fei was grateful, and his eyes were red. He paced quickly in front of Liu Bei, slapped his chest, and said with excitement:
"If this is the case, the second brother will definitely be able to understand his brother's good intentions, and under the nine springs, he will not blame us!"
Liu Bei held his hands and bowed his head and said, "This is also for the sake of righteousness...... Cloud Length... Yun Chang, he will be able to understand! ”
The two brothers reached a consensus on the marriage of their children, and their hearts were excited, their fists clenched, and their eyes were full of tears, which was unspeakable for a long time.
However, he said that Guan Xing was on duty today, and when he heard that his righteous brother Zhang Bao was coming, he hurried over.
When the brothers meet, they naturally have a lot of affection.
Seeing the appearance of the two of them holding their arms, Liu Bei vaguely saw the scene when Taoyuan was rebellious, and his mood has improved greatly since then, and he waved his hand and smiled:
"Bao'er, Xing'er, you can go by yourself, and the second brother will talk for a while."
******
Out of the hall, Zhang Bao and Guan Xing talked happily, very happy. Zhang Bao had no city in his heart, and told the lord about the marriage for the two.
The monarch's marriage was an extremely glorious thing, and the two brothers were also happy. While rejoicing, I couldn't help but think of the third brother Jiang Wei and Jiang Boyo.
Guan Xing walks in the Hanzhong palace every day, and the news is more flexible after all.
"I heard that Boyo set up a new army, and the formation tactics are different from ordinary military brigades, and I heard that a few days ago, he also asked Ma Deheng to make a batch of strange repeating crossbows, and I don't know what tricks he is doing...... I also heard that he practiced hard day and night, and he had not returned home for two months. ”
Zhang Bao stroked his short beard and said categorically: "As brothers, I should visit one or two." Anyway, it's better to hit the day than to choose a day, I'm already good now, it's better to go together early tomorrow morning! ”
Guan Xing smiled: "Little brother has this intention!" ”
In this way, the itinerary for tomorrow's visit to the Forces nouvelles was settled.
The two talked for a while, and Guan Xing suddenly slapped his forehead and said:
"By the way, the prince misses Boyo very much, and has mentioned several times that he wants to visit, so it is better to take him with him tomorrow."
Zhang Bao immediately remembered what the main palace said, and said with a smile:
"The happy day of the prince and Xingcai is also approaching, such a happy event, it is okay for us not to say it to others, but how can we not share it with the third brother? Since the prince is interested, I will escort him. ”
Guan Xing stroked his palms and laughed: "That's exactly the reason!" ”
