In the second year of the first peace (191 AD), it was undoubtedly a turbulent year for the Han Dynasty, the annexation of the Kwantung princes became increasingly fierce, since the dissolution of the alliance, the state ministers were frequently replaced and not mentioned, Dong Zhuo, who retreated to Chang'an, was assassinated by Wang Yun in July by Wang Yun and Lu Bu in Weiyang Palace, and Lu Bu and Wang Yun were in charge of the government.

However, what is even more surprising is that Ye Zhao, who entered Hanzhong since the first year of Chuping, quietly annexed Yizhou after less than a year of dormancy, and even handed a post to the princes of the world, and married the daughter of the great Confucian Cai Yong as his wife in Chengdu in April of the third year of Chuping, and invited the princes of the world to watch the ceremony.

What a flat wife is, no one knows, the Han only has the main room and the concubine, and there is no flat wife.

However, Ye Zhao's invitation explained very clearly, Empress E's daughter Ying served a husband, and the status of the equal wife was higher than that of the concubine, and she was also married by the Ming media, but she was slightly lower than the main room as the wife.

To put it simply, in order to marry Cai Yan, Ye Zhao set up a position of equal wife between the main room and the concubine.

It sounds like it is just an absurd decision made by Ye Zhao in order to marry another wife, but if you think about it carefully, Ye Zhao's main room, but the princess of the Han family, the marriage presided over by the emperor himself, Ye Zhao's doing so is tantamount to a slap in the face of the Han family, and it also represents that the prestige of the Han family has been invisibly weakened by Ye Zhao in this way after being weakened by another coup d'état in Chang'an.

Jiujiang, Shouchun.

Yuan Shu looked at the invitation in his hand, held his chin and looked at the few strategists around him and said, "This Ye Zhao is really restless, but this matter of a flat wife has actually existed since ancient times, and it is not excessive, you say...... How about I get another wife? ”

"With the life experience of the lord, if Ye Zhao marries, the lord will naturally marry." Strategist Li Feng said with a smile, he knew that Yuan Shu had recently favored a woman and wanted to correct her, but his wife was from a famous family, and her status was not easy to shake, and now Ye Zhao married Cai Yan, which is equivalent to giving Yuan Shu a step, that is, not offending the family behind the main room, and he can also get what he wants.

"Lord, Ye Hou is now occupying Yizhou, and there are several princes in the world, this time I invite all the heroes of the world, will we send a congratulatory gift?" Yuan Lian looked at Yuan Shaodao.

"He? Seigneur? Yuan Shu sneered disdainfully when he heard this, shook his head and said: "Born in a good family, Luoyang played tricks on me several times in the past, and now he is marrying a beautiful girl, why should I congratulate him?" If it weren't for the impassability of the road in Shuzhong, a certain would have wanted to lead the army to level him on his wedding day! ”

Yuan Jian heard this, and stopped talking, the grievances between Yuan Shu and Ye Zhao, it is difficult to tell whether it is right or wrong, if you really want to investigate it carefully, in fact, it is Yuan Shu who provokes trouble, but Ye Zhao is very good at scheming, and he knows that it is not Ye Zhao who calculated Yuan Shu's mentality and deliberately provoked Yuan Shu to trouble him, so as to make a profit from it, because judging from the results, Yuan Shu suffers every time, and even was driven out of Luoyang in the end, Yuan Shu hates Ye Zhao, which is also reasonable, but this open-mindedness is inevitably narrow-minded.

After all, no matter how Yuan Shu looked down on Ye Zhao, they were all princes who held a state, and they were located in Yizhou, so they had no conflict of interest with Yuan Shu for the time being, and they should have made friends, but they were cut off by Yuan Shu's words so lightly.

Jingzhou, Xiangyang.

Liu Biao handed the invitation to Kuai Liang on the side: "What do you think?" ”

"The lord doesn't want to go?" Kuai Liang looked at Liu Biao and asked.

"How can you be willing, this is beating my Han family's face!" Liu Biao snorted coldly.

"But the minister thinks that this is a good opportunity to make friends with Ye Hou!" Kuai Liang muttered: "Now the Lord is just going to war with that Yuan Shu, Yuan Shu has violated my borders several times, and wants to encroach on the land of Jingzhou, if it is not harmonious with Ye Hussar at this time, although now Shu is newly determined, Ye Hussar is unlikely to take the initiative to fight, but only a brigade of partial division can threaten the back of our army, now Ye Hussar's foothold is not stable, but Shu is easy to defend and difficult to attack, the initiative is in the hands of Ye Hussar, before solving the trouble of Yuan Shu, the minister thinks, do not erect this strong enemy as well. ”

"Children of the Liu family, they won't go!" Liu Biao snorted coldly.

"My brother has nothing to do recently, but I can go to Shuzhong on behalf of the lord!" Kuai Liang said with a smile, Xenodu is his brother Kuai Yue's cousin, for Ye Zhao, their brother has heard of his name for a long time, and now the two families are next to each other, so they just took this opportunity to take a look.

"If the different degrees are wishing, it's not bad." Liu Biao nodded, even if this matter is decided like this, Ye Zhao's wedding with such fanfare, in the eyes of the princes, it is to cut the face of the Han family, Liu Biao first arrived in Jingzhou, and now he has not established a firm foothold, so it is naturally not good to brush off Kuai Liang's words.

Liu Yu, who was far away in Youzhou, was much more simply, and directly refused to congratulate, although Liu Bei had the heart to befriend Ye Zhao, but in this matter, it was obvious that Liu Yu could not let go, and Liu Bei was not good at falling out with Liu Yu because of this matter, when Yuan Shao and Han Fu wanted to support Liu Yu, Liu Bei had already aroused Liu Yu's dissatisfaction, and it was even more difficult to brush off Liu Yu's kindness at the moment.

Compared with Liu Yu, Gongsun Chan's side is much more refreshing, when he received Ye Zhao's invitation, Gongsun Chan smiled and handed the invitation to Guan Yu and said: "Yun Chang and Ye Huqi are also old, and Ye Huqi also admires Yun Chang, otherwise, how about Yun Chang go to Yizhou to congratulate me on my behalf?" ”

"It's just a matter in the army......" Guan Yu frowned, since Luoyang came back, he felt that Gongsun Chan was a little alienated from him, the reason for this is probably that when they were separated, he and Liu Bei did not return overnight, although Gongsun Chan did not say anything at the beginning, but after coming back, the military power in Guan Yu's hands began to weaken step by step, which made Guan Yu very uncomfortable, and now Gongsun Chan and Liu Yu are almost incompatible, especially after this time to discuss Dong, Gongsun Chan was named the Marquis of Ji, General Fenwu, and has the same status as Liu Yu, The contradictions between the two sides will become even more irreconcilable.

Liu Bei, as Liu Yu's confidant general, was naturally not treated by Gongsun Zhan, and even took it, because after Guan Yu saw Liu Bei, he also had suspicion of Guan Yu, and this time he sent Guan Yu to congratulate, in fact, it was to kick Guan Yu away and regain Guan Yu's military power, Guan Yu knew it in his heart, but he didn't explain anything, he didn't bother to explain.

"Yun Chang rest assured, someone will take care of the affairs in the army." Gongsun Chan said with a smile.

Maybe I was able to get my current status at the beginning, and I also worshiped Ye Hou, and now I just want to thank you for this kindness.

Guan Yu intervened and saluted: "The last general will take the order!" ”

Jizhou, Bohai Sea.

"Someone will send him a congratulatory gift!" Yuan Shao put down the invitation, shook his head and smiled: "That Ye Zhao, it's really not worry-free!" ”

"The lord's heart is big-hearted, admirable!" Xu You smiled.

When Ye Zhao left, the two sides were not happy, the plague almost cut off the entire coalition army, and there were no people in a radius of hundreds of miles around Luoyang, if it wasn't for the book that Ye Zhao left when he left, God knows how far the plague would spread.

"What? Ziyuan wants to go? Yuan Shao looked at Xu Youdao.

"After all, I was a friend in the past, and I also want to see how far Ye Zhao has developed now." Xu You smiled.

Back then, the plot to assassinate the Spirit Emperor was revealed, Xu Yu absconded, for Ye Zhao, who had done a good thing, he didn't have any good intentions, after all, Ye Zhao was the marquis at the beginning, it can be said that he stepped on their throne, and now Ye Zhao is already a prince, he Yuan Shao will calm the world, and Shuzhong is naturally a battleground, and now it is just right to see Ye Zhao's strength, and there will be a deal in the future.

Jizhou, East County.

Cao Cao's righteous deeds at the time of the alliance are now considered to be successful, and he has finally obtained a place of foundation, and now he is the Taishou of Dongjun, and he has begun to gather a lot of talents around him.

"He really did!" Cao Cao threw the invitation on the table with some indignation.

A scribe beside him picked up the invitation, looked through it and said: "The lord is now on the rise, and it is time to make a big alliance with the heroes of the world. ”

When Cao Cao heard this, he looked at the scribe and frowned: "Wen is weak, I am an old friend with Ye Xiuming, and I was quite taken care of by him in the past, and I am naturally willing to congratulate him on his wedding, but this matter is ...... He's ......."

"Lord!" The scribe shook his head and said: "This time is different from the past, Ye Hussar has become a trend, there is this place in Shu, you can sit and watch the disputes of the princes in the world, it is already invincible, in the next few years or even more than ten years, no one can shake the position of the lord of Shu, the lord wants to help the Han family, now is not the time to care about gains and losses, as the lord said, the lord and he are old friends, and this is the moment to take advantage of it." ”

Cao Cao nodded silently, took the invitation from the scribe again, sighed, and suddenly smiled: "In the past, when Luoyang was in the past, I and Xiuming, Benchu, and Highway were all young and handsome, Xiuming was the youngest and had the lowest background, so Yuan Highway often ridiculed him with this, I don't know what kind of expression Yuan Highway would have now become the lord of Shuzhong?" ”

When the scribe heard this, he couldn't help but say, he was also an official in Luoyang back then, and he was also a little friend with Ye Zhao, and he was still quite optimistic about Ye Zhao's ability, and Ye Zhao also had the intention of approaching him at the beginning, but it was a pity that he ...... After all, the Tao was different, and after he left Jizhou, he finally chose Cao Cao instead of Ye Zhao.

Chang'an, Wenhou Mansion.

Lu Bu looked at the invitation in his hand, raised his hand and threw it away, and between him and Ye Zhao, there was no pleasant memory, although now he was the head of the military generals of the dynasty after killing Dong Zhuo, but when he thought that Ye Zhao was now the lord of Shu, he didn't feel the atmosphere in his heart.

"Why is Feng Xian angry?" Wang Yun looked at Lu Budao with a smile.

"Why did Situ show me this?" Lu Bu looked at Wang Yun dissatisfied: "He Ye Zhao marries a wife, what does it have to do with me?" ”

"Now that Ye Zhaoding Shu is even more in Hanzhong, adjacent to the land of Sanfu!" Wang Yun shook his head and said: "And as a hussar general, he also leads the position of the state minister, and I have nothing to do with him, so don't provoke him at this time." ”

"Then don't go!" Lu Bu snorted coldly.

Wang Yun shook his head: "Others don't go, but you and I are now in Chang'an, but the princes of the Quartet have all refused to obey the edict, if you can persuade Your Majesty Ye Zhaozhu, it will be beneficial and harmless to us." ”

"Situ wants me to go?" Lu Bu frowned.

"Exactly!" Wang Yun nodded: "In this way, it can also show our sincerity!" ”

Sincerity fart!

Lu Bu scolded secretly in his heart, he was not good at politics, what Wang Yun said seemed to have some truth, but if he wanted him to congratulate Ye Zhao, he was a little reluctant, and shook his head categorically and said: "Tell others to go to this matter, and I will never go!" ”

"Feng Xian......" Wang Yun spoke, and wanted to persuade again, but Lu Bu had already gotten up.

"I've made up my mind!" Lu Bu snorted, ignored Wang Yun, and left directly.

Wang Yun's face became a little ugly, and he spat fiercely at Lu Bu's back and scolded: "Hu Man! ”
