(10) Chen Gongtai drove the tiger and devoured the wolf, and Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty forced his relatives in court
"Your Royal Highness, it's already night, why do you want to accompany you to this imperial garden?" Lu Bu followed behind Princess Wannian and asked suspiciously. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Princess Wannian pointed to the starry sky in the night and said, "I want you to accompany me to see the stars." "Huh?" Lu Bu couldn't help but stick out his tongue and shook his head helplessly: It's really childish. Liu Ning found a clean grass and sat down, raised his head to look at the starry sky, and said to Lu Bu like a yellow bird: "General Lu, do you know? My favorite thing to do is to count the stars, because I want to find the brightest star. ā
Lu Bu stood beside Princess Wannian and asked tentatively, "The brightest star?" Princess Wannian smiled and looked at the vast starry sky, and said intently: "General, you may not know that you have lived at the border for a long time. In fact, I was not born to my mother, and I don't know who my biological mother is. The Queen Mother told me that if I wanted to see my mother, I should stand on the grass on a cloudless night and look for the brightest star in the night sky. That's Mother. Vaguely, Lu Bu seemed to feel the loneliness and fear in this girl's heart from the choked voice of Princess Wannian, after all, the intrigue in this deep palace is unbelievably shocking, and it is not easy for this girl to persist all the way to the present.
"General, do you know why Ning'er told you these things." Princess Wannian asked rhetorically. When Lu Bu heard this, he replied without thinking: "Because the last general defeated the Xianbei Seven Warriors today and terminated the marriage. Princess Wannian gently wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with her sleeve and continued: "The general is really smart. Yes, exactly. Because Ning'er was worried that if she married into Hudi, she would never find her mother's shadow in the sky of the Hu people. Ning'er was really scared, so afraid that she wouldn't be able to see her mother. "It's not just because of the cold of the night or the fear in her heart, when she said this, Princess Wannian couldn't help but shiver, and shivered in the night wind with her arms crossed.
Seeing this, Lu Bu couldn't help but feel a wave of pity in his heart. He quickly unfastened the red cloak he wore over his shoulders. In the surprised eyes of the maids, he knelt down on one knee beside Princess Wannian, gently draped the cloak on her shoulder, and said firmly to Princess Wannian: "Your Royal Highness the princess, rest assured, one day I, Lu Bu, will personally lead the prince to the north, and exterminate all those unsubordinate, so that my Han Qianqiu foundation will be more stable, so that Her Royal Highness the princess can count the stars in this imperial garden safely and happily forever." ā
Seeing Lu Bu so considerately put on a cloak for himself, a warm current welled up in Princess Wannian's heart. The queen mother dotes on herself, but she often shuddes when she thinks of the way the queen mother treats those concubines; The father dotes on herself, but the father spends all day with the same group of beauties, and she often feels resentful. And the strange man in front of him gave himself a sense of security that he had never felt before, and it seemed that there was an invisible force pulling him in the dark, so that he could accept the love of this handsome man for himself with peace of mind.
"Your Royal Highness Princess, it's best not to stay outside the house too late in this late autumn season, so as not to suffer the wind and cold." Lu Bu looked at the night and said to Princess Wannian, "The last general should escort Her Royal Highness the princess back to the palace." Princess Wannian also felt a little cold, so she stood up with the support of the maid and said to Lu Bu: "Okay, but general, can you please not call Ning'er Her Royal Highness the princess, and Ning'er doesn't call you a general, let's be good friends, how about changing the name to each other?" Lu Bu clenched his fists and said: "Her Royal Highness the princess wants to make friends with the last general, naturally the last general is fortunate to have three lives, but I don't know how to call the princess?" Princess Wannian blinked mischievously, pouted for a long time, and then spoke: "Feng Xian, after that, Ning Er will call the general Brother Feng Xian, Brother Feng Xian call me Ning Er, okay?" ā
When Lu Bu heard this, he hurriedly knelt down and said: "By all means, Her Royal Highness the princess has a noble status, and the last general will ......" Hearing that Lu Bu was going to refuse, Princess Wannian couldn't help frowning, turned around and said coquettishly: "It turns out that the general is unwilling to be friends with Ning'er." "No, this ......" Lu Bu couldn't help but sigh helplessly when he saw the princess angry, so he had to retreat and beg for the second, "Then Her Royal Highness the princess will call the last general Fengxian's brother, how about the last general still call you Her Royal Highness the princess?"
When Princess Wannian heard this, she turned around happily and jumped up excitedly: "Really? Then let's make up our minds, Brother Fengxian, are you not allowed to regret it? Seeing that the princess Wannian, who was still full of sadness just now, seemed to be a different person at this moment, Lu Bu couldn't help but smile bitterly, and thought: No wonder Confucius said that only women and villains are difficult to raise, and this face has become too fast.
In the prison, Kequ, who was tied to a wooden stake, struggled and shouted, "Why arrest me? You barbarians, aren't you afraid that my army will enter Luoyang and cut off your heads? ā
Chen Gong sneered: "Khan, it's time like this, you can still put on such a big prestige, I really admire you." To tell you the truth, Prince Chahantai has told his subordinates about your private recruitment of dead soldiers and vain attempt to attack General Yuan Shao, the commander of Sili. I advise you to tell the truth and tell the truth, and don't resist stubbornly, so as not to suffer from the flesh and skin. Kequ had an expression of disbelief on his face, and stammered to Chen Gong, "No...... No way...... His Royal Highness the Prince, he ......"
Before Kequ finished speaking, Chen Gong clapped his hands, and Cheng Lian pushed the two captured bandits in. Chen Gong said to the two: "What's the matter, it's him, right?" The two nodded in unison: "My lord, the two of us are the meticulous work of His Royal Highness the Prince's team installed in his subordinates, and His Royal Highness the Prince has long suspected that he is planning to do wrong." "Oh? Say that the two of you are meticulous, and there is harmony as proof? Chen Gong asked rhetorically.
The two of them took out two waist cards from their waists and handed them to Chen Gong: "Your Excellency, this is the Flying Eagle Order used by the Xiongnu tribe to gather the tribal leaders in case of emergency, and His Royal Highness the Prince specially handed it over to the two of us as tokens. Kequ looked at the two wooden plaques carved with eagle patterns and handed them to Chen Gong, the whole person was stunned, he knew very well that this flying eagle order was made by the Southern Xiongnu Dadan Yu Qiangqu when he had just taken power, there were only four in total, in addition to himself and his two sons, there was only one piece of Zuoxian King Yufuluo, who was trusted by him. Don't......
Thinking of this, Kequ suddenly raised his head to the sky and roared angrily, and then frantically struggled on the stake: "Qiangqu, Chahantai, I have good intentions to come from thousands of miles to help, and your father and son have laid such a trap to plot against me!" I'm at odds with you! Yes! ā
Cheng Lian escorted the two out of the torture room, patted the two of them on the shoulder with satisfaction, and said, "Yes, I didn't expect your play to be quite good, take it!" As he spoke, he casually threw a silver ingot to the two of them, and waved his hand to signal the two to retreat. Turning around, hearing the roar that was still echoing in the torture room, Cheng Lian flipped the Flying Eagle Order in his hand and said with a smile: "I didn't expect the two Flying Eagle Orders that the general had snatched from Wuli Kunyi to come in handy here. As he spoke, he couldn't help but admire Chen Gong's strategizing in his heart.
Finally sent Princess Wannian back to the palace, Lu Bu breathed a long sigh of relief, and ran out of the palace in three steps and two steps. As soon as he arrived at the gate of the palace, he saw Gao Shun standing in front of the door leaning on the green dragon spear. Lu Bu hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "General Gao, how are things going?" ā
Seeing Lu Bu coming, Gao Shun gave a military salute and said to Lu Bu in a low voice: "General, Mr. Gongtai has strategized and has found out that the Xianbei Great Khan Kequ is the instigator of the attack on Yulinwei. Just now General Cheng Lian sent a message, Mr. Gongtai has already asked Ke Qu to tell the truth of the whole thing, and sure enough, as you expected, the mastermind of the whole plan is the Xiongnu prince Chahantai. "Good!" Lu Bu clapped his hands excitedly and said, "This Chen Gong really didn't disappoint the general, let's go, let's go and meet them immediately to discuss the next plan of action." ā
"What? The two Flying Eagle Orders were all taken away by Lu Bu? In the post house, Chahantai said anxiously, "No, tomorrow I will find a way to get Lu Bu to return these two flying eagle orders." Wuli Kunyi on the side said angrily: "It's difficult, brother, for now, let's leave Luoyang as soon as possible." Chahantai sat down in his chair dejectedly, but he didn't expect that this time he came to Beijing not only to complete the plan, but also to lose such a powerful ally as Kequ. Chahantai shook his head helplessly: "That's it, let's go back to the royal court quickly, and I will go to the court tomorrow to resign." The two brothers never expected that at this moment, Chen Gong had already woven a big net and was quietly waiting for them, and the time of the two brothers in this world had entered the countdown.
After taking Kequ to the camp of the Bingzhou army, Lu Bu immediately ordered the slaughter of cattle and sheep, and entertained the Xianbei people with the best wine and delicacies.
"I didn't expect Chahantai to be so insidious, we were all tricked by him!" Lu Bu angrily slammed his fist on the table, and then picked up his wine glass and said to Kequ: "Your Majesty Khan, there was a lot of disrespect among your subordinates just now, and I salute you with a glass of honor from the ancestors and the state army!" As he spoke, he raised his head and drank the liquor from his glass.
Ke Qu also replied: "Where did the general say?" If it weren't for tonight's events, the old man wouldn't have known that Chahantai, a snake-like jackal boy, wanted to take my name from the hands of all the big men. Alas! As he spoke, he raised his glass and lowered his neck. Cheng Lian and Gao Shun also took the opportunity to toast one after another: "Your Majesty Khan, you are a wise man, why did you come to this troubled water for a young boy this time?" When Qiang Qu heard this, he drank a few glasses of spirits in a row, and told everyone the reason with three points of drunkenness.
It turned out that Kequ and Xiongnu Dadan herded horses for the same head in the early years of Qiangqu, and one day Kequ was greedy for a cup, drunk and drunk, and the horses responsible for shepherding ran away more than half. When the leader learned of this, he was furious and claimed to punish the culprit with 200 lashes. At the critical moment, Qiang Qu stepped forward, swapped the horses of the two, and received 200 whips instead of Ke Qu. Since then, the two have become brothers in their lives, and Kequ changed his name to the same character as Qiangqu, and claimed that he would always look forward to Qiangqu in his life.
After finishing this old story, Kequ said to everyone with tears in his eyes: "I didn't expect that the eldest brother I respected the most in my life would end up with his son to kill me. In this case, it is better to strike first! As he spoke, he raised his head and drank another glass of spirit. When Lu Bu heard this, he hurriedly persuaded: "Your Majesty Khan, at this time, you should think about it in the long run, and you must not deal with it hastily!" What if the Xiongnu and Xianbei were to be brought to war? Chen Gong also arched the fire on the side and said: "That is, the wolf rider of the Huns is very fierce, I'm afraid Xianbei is difficult to resist!" ā
"Phew!" Kequ staggered to his feet, pointed to the north and scolded, "Just rely on the team brought out by that ruthless and unrighteous old thing, hum!" You may not know that the Southern Xiongnu are now divided into two factions, one is the quick war faction led by the eldest prince Wuli Kunyi, and the other is the slow war faction led by Yu Fuluo, the king of Zuoxian. The members of the Slow War faction were mostly tribal leaders, while the Rapid War faction was mostly members of the royal court led by the eldest prince, and after several years of tug-of-war, the Slow War faction had firmly gained the upper hand. The two factions are in the same situation, even if it is a big single in the Qiang Canal, it is difficult to adjust, if it weren't for my Kequ mediation, hum, the Southern Xiongnu would have turned the sky upside down! ā
Hearing this, Lu Bu and Chen Gong exchanged glances, and began to pour wine into Kequ again with a tacit understanding, Lu Bu secretly rejoiced in his heart: "Everything is going according to our plan, hehe, Wuli Kunyi, Chahantai, wait, your death is not far away." ā
In the early morning of the next day, before the early dynasty began, Lu Bu found the general He Jin, introduced him by him, and went straight to Ganquan Palace, the sleeping palace of Emperor Ling.
Emperor Han Ling looked at Lu Bu in disbelief: "Lu Qing? Is this true? Can you really guarantee that you will be able to repel 300,000 wolf horsemen on the frontier without spending a single soldier, and you will also be able to exchange it for several years of tranquility in the frontier? ā
"Your Majesty, the last general is willing to guarantee with the head of the item." Seeing that Emperor Ling was not very relieved, Lu Bu hugged his fists. The general next to him, He Jin, also played: "Your Majesty, the last general is willing to use this Venerable head to vouch for General Fenwei." Hearing this, Lu Bu turned his head and glanced at the general gratefully. Seeing that the general He Jin was so decisively on Lu Bu's side, Emperor Ling smiled and comforted: "The two Aiqing don't have to be like this, I know the ability of the two, since this is the case, I will follow Lu Qing's performance!" Lu Bu thanked him and said, "Your Majesty will thank you for your trust." With that, he said goodbye to He Jin and prepared to leave.
"Lu Qing stays, I have a personal question for you." Emperor Ling suddenly called Lu Bu, and Lu Bu turned around and said, "Your Majesty, please speak." Emperor Ling laughed a few times embarrassedly, and then asked, "Lu Qing, you are married to Nian Ya this year?" Lu Bu replied: "Your Majesty, the last general is sixteen years old this year, and he has not yet been married!" After saying this, Lu Bu regretted it in his heart, what if this emperor Lao'er recruited himself as a son-in-law? Sure enough, after listening to what Lu Bu said, the Spirit Emperor nodded with satisfaction: "Ah, young hero!" Very good, very good. Lu Qing, this time the Huns proposed to make peace, although I didn't want to, but my princess Wannian is fifteen years old this year, and it's really time to get married, well, I have the intention to ......"
When Lu Bu heard this, he was shocked in his heart, thinking of the turbulent situation in the world soon after, the current top priority is to quickly build Bingzhou into a base where he can settle down and make a life, he didn't dare to marry a group of wives and concubines for himself too early, and hurriedly refused: "Your Majesty, the last general has just joined the army, his qualifications are shallow, and his merits are small, and he was promoted to a Fenwei general by His Majesty's great grace, and it is the time to repay the country with death, not to mention the noble status of Her Royal Highness the princess, and the last general ......"
Hearing what Lu Bu said, the general He Jin on the side said with a smile: "General Fenwei, these are not problems, the qualifications are shallow, you can be slowly encouraged, the meritorious service is small, you are brave and brave, and you will have the opportunity to make contributions in the future, as for the matter of identity, didn't my Emperor Gaozu also come from cloth clothes before the founding of the country?" "Yes, yes, Uncle Guo is reasonable, Lu Qing, this marriage, it's decided!" From this day on, I am your father, and you don't have to call me Your Majesty anymore, just call me Father; I, call you Fengxian. Without waiting for Lu Bu to say more, Emperor Ling clapped his hand and said, "This is a holy decree, if you say more, it is a protest decree." ā
Seeing that the emperor was extremely resolute, He Jin was also full of eagerness, Lu Bu had no way to retreat, so he had to hug his fists and said: "The last general thanks Your Majesty for his love, since it is a holy decree, how dare the last general shirk." It's just that the last general is now in a humble official position, and he is only afraid that he will wronged the princess if he gets married rashly, so he risked his life to temporarily ask His Majesty to postpone the marriage for a few years, and wait for the last general to make immortal achievements, and then it is not too late to complete the marriage. What Lu Bu said was reasonable, and Emperor Ling was not in a hurry: "Okay, the marriage can be done later, but this title should be changed now!" lest you not be able to change it for a while. It happened that the time of the morning dynasty was up, so he didn't say anything more and went to the Chongde Palace.
Outside the Chongde Palace, Lu Bu called He Jin: "The last general, thank you for the great general's help just now, if there is no support from the general, Your Majesty may not agree to the last general's plan so easily." He Jin stopped and patted Lu Bu's shoulder with a smile: "Fengxian, Your Majesty has specially allowed you to call him Father Emperor, should the title of me also change?" You know, I watched the princess grow up! When Lu Bu heard this, he hesitated for a moment, and slowly said, "Yes, thank you...... Uncle. ā
"Hahaha!" In He Jin's almost arrogant laughter, Lu Bu secretly stuck out his tongue and thought: I was forced to marry as soon as I entered the capital, if Gao Shun and the others knew about it, they would have to laugh off their big teeth.
Fengyi Pavilion, Liu Ning, who was still immersed in sleep, was falling asleep with a pillow in his arms.
"Your Royal Highness Princess, great joy, great joy!" The maid Xiaorou shouted again and rushed into the Fengyi Pavilion, knelt beside the bed and shouted excitedly: "Slave and maid, congratulations to Her Royal Highness the Princess!" Princess Wannian rubbed her sleepy eyes, struggled to poke her head out of the quilt, and asked in a daze, "What's wrong?" Xiao Rou? What a big joy? Xiao Rou smiled and said to Liu Ning: "Her Royal Highness Princess Qi Xiang, just in the early dynasty, Your Majesty married the princess to General Lu Bu in front of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, and it was the young general who sent Her Royal Highness the princess back to the dormitory last night. ā
"Ahh When these words came out, Princess Wannian suddenly fell asleep, and muttered a few words in a daze: "Brother Fengxian." Seeing Her Royal Highness the princess, who was plain and playful, all the maids couldn't help but cover their mouths and laugh in a low voice when they saw Her Royal Highness the princess, who was now like a different person. After a long time, the princess Wannian came to her senses, and when she saw a group of maids stealing fun, she couldn't help but raise her cheeks with two red glows, and said coquettishly: "Okay, you dare to join forces to make fun of me!" ā
Not long after, the sound of a woman's madness came from the Fengyi Pavilion.
The early dynasty dispersed, looking at the Chahantai who was leaving quickly, Lu Bu laughed coldly, and suddenly there was a burst of admiration from a young man behind him: "What a plan to drive away the tiger and devour the wolf, I can't imagine that General Fenwei is not only brave and unbeatable in the world, but also so resourceful, no wonder Your Majesty ******** want to recruit the general as his son-in-law." When Lu Bu heard this, he was shocked, and secretly thought: "I thought that the plan was seamless, but I didn't expect that someone would see the clue at a glance, this person must be a great sage." ā
Thinking of this, Lu Bu turned around and saluted the person behind him: "Under the Fenwei General Lu Bu, dare to ask the name of the high surname?" When the man behind him heard this, he smiled slightly, and bowed back: "Huangmen squire Xun You, I have seen General Fenwei." ā
