On the first day of the first lunar month, Chen Caohu came to Hengtang by ox cart and Xiao Lu Shangshu led the front to the land fowl, and the land fowl was full of shame, and bowed his hand to Chen Caozhi, and said: "Brother Zizhong." Cover your face with big sleeves and walk away.

Lu Yu was abolished from the six products to the imperial history, and he almost suffered the punishment of bamboo moss, and he will never be used in the future, if it were not for Chen Caozhi, he would be executed for the crime of treason, so now when he meets Chen Caozhi, Lu Yu is ashamed and has no place to see each other.

Chestnut greeted him and said in a low voice: "I want to teach Chen Langjun to learn that the second family master and Liulangjun will leave for Huating in the near future

Chen Caozhi asked: "Didn't you say that Lu Yuanjun wanted to take Xiaodaofu back to Huating to worship his ancestors, and the little lady of Wei Rui also wanted to go along?" ”

Chestnut said: "The head of the family is the new minister. There are a lot of affairs, and I am afraid that I will not be able to return to Wu County a year ago. Originally, the head of the family wanted Mrs. and the little lady to go with the second head of the family and Liulangjun, but the lady refused, and the lady didn't want to go back to Wu Langjun so early, please go here, the head of the family went to Taicheng early in the morning, and the lady and the little lady were in the Hundred Flowers Cottage.

Lu Na's nephew Lu Daoyu came over at this time to salute Chen Caozhi, Lu Daoyu is the son of Lu Na's brother Lu Zhan. He is engaged to Gu Minzhi's daughter and will get married next year.

Chen Caozhi followed Lu Daoyu to the Inner Courtyard Hundred Flowers and Grass Hall, Lu Daoyu had entered Beijing with Chen Caozhi at the beginning of the year, and got along quite well. Finally, the Lu family was not humiliated by torture and killing, and Lu Nade was appointed as the secretary of the ministry, and the Lu family of Wu County basically maintained its original status, and now Lu Shi has been dismissed and returned to his hometown, and the biggest obstacle for Lu Weirui to marry Chen Caozhi has been lifted. Although there is still a huge disparity between the scholars of the Qiantang Chen clan and the Lu clan of Wujun, but now Chen Caozhi is the Sima of Liupinzhou, and will be ordered to rebuild the Beifu soldiers, and his brother Chen Shang was promoted to the middle supervisor of the Qipin Palace, and the clan brother Chen Yu is the captain of the Qipin Cavalry Academy, and the family status has been significantly improved, and Lu Nasu values Chen Caozhi, and has long regarded Chen Caozhi as his son-in-law, and now the time has come for Chen Caozhi to marry Wei Rui, and it only takes a little time. As soon as his brother Lu Shi fell, Lu Na was in a hurry to marry Chen Caozhi. There is always something to be more reserved, but the rumors about Chen Caozhi and the Xie girl are intensifying, Lu Na also faintly feels that the crisis is getting closer to the Hundred Flowers and Grass Hall, Chen Cao's heartbeat is gradually accelerating, he has not yet figured out how to mention Xie Daoyun to Wei Rui and Mrs. Lu Zhang Wenjun, this is more difficult than his envoy to Chang'an and Handcheng, and the blessing of Qi people is not so easy to enjoy!

How is the free and affectionate nature of the Jin people perfectly expressed?

After the dissolution of the West Hall of the Taiji Palace. The hundred officials belonged to the directors of the official office, but Xie An, who was also the leader of the army, stayed in the court and said to Emperor Sima Yu: "Your Majesty, the minister has a private matter to start. ”

Emperor Sima Yu got along well with Xie An when he was the king of Huiji, and Xie An took over as the leader of the army in the secretary of Huan, which made Sima Yu feel very relieved, he regarded Xie An as a minister of the brain, and said warmly: "What is the matter with An Shi." But it doesn't hurt to say that. ”

Xie An said: "This matter also needs to be witnessed by Lu Zuyan, the secretary of the ministry, and ask Your Majesty to announce that Lu Shangshu will go to the palace." ”

Emperor Sima Yuqi said: "Strange, what is Anshi's personal matter?" If you want Lu Shangshu to testify, you have to let the United Prophet have a foundation. ”

Xie An said: "The minister wants to marry his niece Xie Daoyun to Chen Caozhi as his wife, and I implore His Majesty to give him a decree to give marriage." ”

"Ahh Emperor Sima Yu was surprised, but Chen Caozhi's love affair with the Lu girl was known all over the world. The Lu girl also wrote to the Empress Dowager Chongde. The Empress Dowager Chongde also took pity on the Lu family's daughter, and now Lu Shi was deposed, Chen Caozhi and the Lu girl are expected to get married, but now there are rumors that Xie Daoyun is in love with Chen Caozhi, Xie Daoyun is lovesick and sick, and Chen Caozhi has saved Xie Daoyun; Now Xie An actually asked him to give him a marriage, the Lu clan of Wujun will be resentful, he is the new emperor, and he is trying his best to win over the northern and southern scholars, if he favors the Xie clan of Chen County like this, it is not the best policy

Emperor Sima Yu was embarrassed: "An Shi." You also know about Chen Caozhi and Lu's daughter, if you rashly issue an edict to marry your niece to Chen Caozhi, I am afraid it will lead to disputes. ”

Xie An said: "So if the minister wants to discuss with Lu Ranshu, he will discuss Chen Caozhi's marriage before he sits down."

Emperor Sima Yu was helpless, so he ordered the palace supervisor to invite the Ministry of Shangshu Lu Na to come to the West Hall to discuss matters, the palace supervisor on duty on this day is Chen Caozhi's brother Chen Shang, Chen Shang was the emperor Sima Yu when he was the old official of the Great Situ, Sima Yu succeeded to the throne, that is, promoted Chen Shang to the Seven Grades Hall of the Eunuch, which is also a letter to the Qian Tang Chen family.

Chen Shang was ordered to go down to the palace to come to the Yamen of the Taicheng Officials' Department, and Lu Nawang returned to the Yamen to sit down, and when he heard that the emperor had summoned him, he didn't know what had happened, so he said to Chen Shang: "Chen Zhongjian, do you know what the emperor announced about me?"

Chen Shangzhi said: "The lower officials don't know much, it seems to be related to the matter of Xie Shizhong, Xie Shizhong also said in the palace: "The sixteenth brother is in trouble now, if the Xie family of Chen County has a dispute with the Lu family of Wu County, the sixteenth brother is in the middle of it, I am afraid that it will be greatly affected, whether it is better for the sixteenth brother to marry the Xie family or the Lu family's daughter, it is really difficult to choose, I am afraid that under the anger of these two gates, everyone will give the sixteenth brother a small Wanliang girl." It must be said that there are no possibilities. It's really okay Lu Na glanced at Chen Shang and nodded. Without asking any more questions, he followed Chen Shang to the west hall of the Taiji Hall and saluted Emperor Sima Yu, that is, he said: "Chenna begs Your Majesty for permission to marry the courtier's daughter Wei Rui to Sima Chen Caozhi of Sizhou as his wife." ”

Emperor Sima Yu was dumbfounded, and this Lu Na also came to ask him for marriage, which made him embarrassed. Looking at Xie An, Xie An sat still without showing the slightest look of surprise.

Emperor Sima Yu said in his heart: "I can't make decisions for you in this matter, you can discuss it yourself." Said bluntly: "Ancestor Yan, Fang Cai Anshi also asked for marriage for his niece Chen Caozhi, how can this be good?" ”

When Lu Na heard the emperor say this, he didn't seem particularly surprised, he seemed to have expected that Xie Daotao's condition had improved, and the brothers Xie An and Xie Wan would definitely try their best to get Xie Daotao to marry Chen Caozhi. Is it tolerable or unbearable, he, the Lu clan of Wu County, will never allow the Xie clan of Chen County to deceive the family and take away his son-in-law!

Lu Na said solemnly: "The courtiers and Chen Caozhi have been in love for several years, and the Empress Dowager Chongde has also praised the good match. Today's good things will be doubled, but Xie Shizhong wants to fight with my daughter for his niece, if the rumors go out, Chen Jun Xie will not be laughed at by the world, An Shigong is known as elegant, this is not the right person to do! ”

Emperor Sima Yu saw that these two powerful ministers were about to quarrel, and secretly complained in his heart, he still had a worry that he couldn't say clearly, his daughter Xin'an Princess Sima Daofu, these days is making a fuss every day to beg him to give her a decree to divorce Jihuan Zhongdao. As for what she wants to do after the divorce, she didn't say it clearly, but if she thinks about it, she knows that she wants to marry Chen Caozhi. Sima Daofu heard that Lu Shi had been dismissed as a concubine, and knew that there was no obstacle for Chen Caozhi to marry Lu Weirui, so she was very anxious, and she had to strike first for Qiangyi

Emperor Sima Yu said in his heart: "Daofu, Xiao Wei's father really wants you to divorce Huan Ji, Chen Caozhi will naturally be more loyal to the royal family as my concubine, but Twist Wen is alive, who dares to break the marriage contract with Long Kang's twist clan, disaster will be unexpected, even Chen Caozhi will lose Huan Wen's trust, so Chen Caozhi can't be this concubine no matter what." "Emperor Sima Yu forgot that Huan Wen married Princess Nankang, who was the concubine of the Jin family.

But seeing Xie Ai smiled and said: "Brother Zu Yan, when will you let your niece fight with Ling Nuan for a husband, you are just asking His Majesty the Emperor to show grace for marriage." ”

Lu Na is unbelievable, is this what Xie An, who is known as the first in elegance and the first in virtue, said it, this is simply a scoundrel, and Lu Na, who is dignified and chaste, is so angry that he can't speak.

Xie An said again: "I asked the emperor for marriage for my niece, and asked the emperor for marriage with Brother Zu Yan's order, so we can go hand in hand and complement each other." ”

Emperor Sima Yu and Lu Na were stunned, and Chen Shang, who was standing in the corner of the hall, was also extremely surprised, the two daughters competed for a husband, how could this go hand in hand?

Lu Na regained his composure and frowned: "What do you mean by this, can Chen Caozhi marry two wives at the same time?" ”

Xie An asked rhetorically, "Why not?" ”

Lu Na said: "Husband and wife, the two surnames are good, the upper is to succeed the temple, and the lower is to succeed the next generation, and the husband and wife are indecent."

Xie An said: "Emperor Yao has two daughters, the elder is called Emperor E, and the younger is called Nuying, and they are married to Da Shun as their wives, and there is a precedent for this matter. ”

Lu Na didn't expect Xie An to want Chen Caozhi to marry both Wei Rui and Xie Daoyun, this matter is very bizarre, Lu Na never thought about it, and said: "Empress E and Nuying are just legends, even if they are true." That is also Yao Jiang Chan located in Shun, with two daughters and wives, testing whether Shun can Qi family, the family has two wives, it will lead to disputes, with its name is equivalent, can not be under the same also. Shun is the ancient Holy Emperor, thinking that he can get along in harmony with his second wife, although Chen Caozhi has a good name, how can he follow the ancient Holy Emperor! ”

Xie An said: "There is also a precedent for marrying a second wife in this dynasty. In the past, Hou Jia Gong of Xuanyang Township, did not have Emperor Wu's special edict to put his left and right ladies? ”

Xuanyang Township Marquis Jia Chong was the first powerful minister in the early years of the Western Jin Dynasty. First marry Wei Zhongshu ordered Li Fengnu as his wife, Li Feng was punished by Sima Shi, Li was exiled because of his father's sin, Jia Chong married Guo as his wife, and then Li returned Luoyang with amnesty, and Emperor Wu of Jin specially edicted Jia to fill the left and right wives

As soon as Xie An said this, Lu Na also remembered the past hundred years, and Lu Na said: "There is a precedent for this matter, but the Guo family and the Li family do not get along well, and there are many disputes. Xie An said lightly: "Jiankang is rumored that the Lu girl is virtuous, how can she be a jealous person, and my Chen County Xie daughter is also knowledgeable, whether the family is harmonious or not depends on Chen Cao's Qi family's skills, one or two daughters marry a husband, how can I do it, I have no choice but to follow the power."

Lu Na pondered silently, the matter of Chen Caozhi and Xie Daofa was also spread in Jiankang City, and the Xie family had no reason to be a concubine for Chen Caozhi. This kind of double marriage can not but be said to be a happy solution, which is beneficial to both the Lu family of Wujun and the Xie family of Chenjun, and it is more beneficial to enhance the status of Chen Caozhi.
