In the spring of 188 BC, there were two major events in Luoyang that shook the world, one was that Cao Cao's adopted son Lu Rui was rewarded by Emperor Ling of Han and won the title of Marquis of Qi. This is the highest marquis treatment obtained by non-Liu clan relatives since the founding of the Han Dynasty, which has caused a great turmoil in the bureaucracy and the scholar group, and Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty has been accustomed to selling official beards, but for his own interests, canonizing a three-year-old child is the first time in history. Honest officials were disappointed in Emperor Han Ling, while speculative officials thought that this was a good opportunity, as long as they found out Emperor Han Ling's hobbies, they could be added to the ranks.

Compared with Lu Rui's official seal, another thing shook the Han world, Cao Cao, the son of Cao Song, had the people who ordered the palace punishment to be reborn and continue the heir's divine pill. As soon as this news came out, the eunuch group of the Han Dynasty basically broke Cao Song's Taiwei Mansion, and even Cao Song's life experience became a topic of tea and idle chat from the nobles to the commoners of the Han Dynasty.

When Cao Song heard this rumor, he almost fainted, he was originally inherited by the Xiahou family to the Cao family, and the origin is still the descendant of the Xiahou family, which he made Cao Cao and others always remember, and they can't forget their roots. But as soon as the rumors of Cao Song's life story came out, many people in the Cao family began to talk about it, and even the Xiahou family sent people to inquire, and Cao Song was one head and two big, and he just wanted to leave Luoyang, a place of right and wrong!

Cao Cao has been in the mansion for the past few days, and he has been upset, originally he just didn't know what was going on, Cao Song thought that he instructed Lu Rui to push the matter to him and hand it over to him to deal with. Later, the elixir in Cao Cao's hand was rumored to be more miraculous, the elixir is a miracle medicine that can protect infertility and protect the birth of a man, as soon as this rumor came out, Cao Cao was in trouble, the family, that person doesn't want a man? No, I'm going to come to Cao Cao, Cao Cao received the news, hurriedly called him sick, and closed the door in the house without seeing any guests.

Cao Cao also asked Lu Rui how he obtained the elixir and how he knew the pleasures of the boudoir and Emperor Han Ling's preferences, but Lu Rui only told Cao Cao that the elixir was obtained from Hua Tuo. But who told him what was the pleasure of the boudoir and Emperor Ling of Han's preferences, Lu Rui refused to say, saying that he had to keep his promise and not betray others, this is integrity, it was Cao Cao who taught him, Cao Cao was helpless, and he had to investigate secretly. You can't do anything to your favorite adopted son.

On this day, Emperor Han Ling suddenly issued an edict, let Cao Cao take Lu Rui into the palace, give Lu Rui the official title of marquis, and at the same time give Cao Cao a formal official title, Cao Cao is also confused about the edict of Emperor Han Ling, giving Lu Rui the title of marquis is a predetermined thing, not strange, but he still has to enter the palace by himself and receive the official position, which makes Cao Cao's second monk scratch his head, what is Your Majesty's plan? But the emperor summoned him, and Cao Cao couldn't call him sick, so he could only take Lu Rui to the court.

Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty issued two decrees. The first decree was to canonize Lu Rui as the marquis of Qi, enjoy a thousand households, and the fief was in Fan County, which was an important strategic place in the battle between Cao Cao and Lu Bu Puyang in the future.

The second decree made Cao Cao's heart fluctuate, and Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty set up eight captains in Xiyuan, and the eight people were:

Captain of the military academy--- Xiao Huangmen Jian Shuo

Lieutenant of the Chinese Military Academy--- Hu Ben, General Yuan Shao

Lieutenant --- Tun Cavalry Captain Bao Hong

Lieutenant of the Dian Military Academy--- Yilang Cao Cao

Lieutenant Left of the Auxiliary Army - Zhao Rong

Lieutenant of the right colonel of the auxiliary army - Feng Fang

Captain Zuo ---- advised Doctor Xia Mou

The right lieutenant ---- Chun Yuqiong

Eight people are unified in Jian Shuo, the eunuch, the eight lieutenants are mainly in command of the 150,000 forbidden army of Luoyang, the edict came out, He Jin's face changed slightly, and the eight people who were enshrined muttered in their hearts, as soon as Emperor Han Ling's edict came out, everyone knew that Emperor Han Ling was to divide He Jin's military power, so that the eunuch could master the forbidden army power of Luoyang of the Han Dynasty, and confront He Jin, who controlled the soldiers and horses of the world. Yuan Shao and other officials close to He Jin disagreed in their hearts, no matter how their official positions changed, they were all the people of the great general He Jin. And for Cao Cao, the identity is embarrassing, Cao Cao's grandfather Cao Teng is a eunuch, and many people attribute him to the eunuch group, but Cao Teng has kindness to many high-ranking officials of the bureaucracy, and many people also attribute him to the people of the bureaucracy. This kind of identity is a dilemma for Cao Cao, and it is not suitable to go over there, it is most suitable to be a neutral, but to be a neutral, can he protect himself in such a court political situation? It's hard, it's hard!

After Emperor Ling of Han issued two edicts, he withdrew from the dynasty and returned. Lu Rui was taken by the eunuch to make the Hou Ye's costumes, issue the big seal, and some trivial things, which could not be completed in the court. Cao Cao could only wait for Lu Rui in the open space outside the council hall, and only returned to the house together when Lu Rui was done.

At this time, the people of the next dynasty also left one after another, and the first to come was the general He Jin, dressed in military uniform. When Cao Cao saw it, he arched his hand and said, "General." ”

He Jin looked at Cao Cao, smiled and said: "Congratulations to Meng De, I originally wanted to recommend it to Your Majesty, but I didn't expect that Meng De was so handsome and talented, and he was appreciated by His Majesty so quickly, Meng De, don't forget your former friends." ”

When Cao Cao heard this, he hurriedly arched his hand and said, "The general is polite, the soldiers and horses in the world are not in the hands of the general?" ”

After He Jin heard this, he laughed and left, Cao Mengde, he still knows the general situation!

After He Jin left, a group of Cao Cao's friends greeted him and came to congratulate Cao Cao, and Cao Cao also greeted him with a smile and greeted everyone one after another.

Suddenly, an official said, "Mengde, who are you waiting for here?" ”

An official said: "It's not the little marquis who is waiting for their family, Lu Rui, Marquis of Qi, Marquis Lu, Meng De, you are really a good means." ”

When Cao Cao heard this, he was confused again, why did these two speak yin and yang? What's the matter with yourself? Just when Cao Cao was puzzled, Xu You greeted him, showed a flattering smile, and said, "Mengde? ”

Cao Cao looked at Xu You and was startled, Xu You was like a brothel old bustard at this time, looking at Cao Cao flatteringly, Cao Cao asked, "What happened to Ziyuan?" ”

Xu You smiled and said: "Meng De, you are too unkind, there is such a good thing, just give it to Your Majesty, don't leave it to our friends, Rui'er is deeply liked by His Majesty, Rui'er has entered the Marquis of Qi, Meng De has also obtained the official position of Captain of the Military Academy, Meng De, you have earned enough, give me some of the Divine Pill, Ziyuan has no heirs in the family." ”

When Cao Cao heard this, he understood, the big black cauldron, another big black cauldron, at first they thought that Cao Cao used Lu Rui to offer pills to Emperor Han Xian, and then won the appreciation of Emperor Han Xian, so they sealed Cao Cao's official position as a military captain, Cao Cao, the military captain, is the captain of the forbidden army, that is, the captain who manages the forbidden army's law, and Wang Yue's military captain who manages the Taiwei Mansion is different, one manages the forbidden army, and the other manages the family soldiers of the Taiwei Mansion. When Cao Cao heard this, he was furious in his heart, I, Cao Mengde, should be a manly husband, how could I use such despicable means to obtain an official position? Lieutenant? How many dignitaries and nobles have changed their complexion due to the five-color stick of my Cao Mengde in Luoyang, and my Cao Cao's official position is obtained by speculation? No, it's by strength!

Cao Cao glanced at Xu You, and then said: "Ziyuan, that elixir was found by Rui'er, and now it is in Rui'er's hands, I Cao Mengde doesn't have it, you have to ask, go and ask Rui'er!" ”

When Xu You heard this, he was also angry, Cao Mengde, you are too shameless, you have used your adopted son three times and twice, a three-year-old child, my Xu Zi is far enough to be shameless and greedy for money, but he will not take advantage of children, Cao Cao, you use your adopted son, you are still so arrogant, I Xu Ziyuan begged you so much, you didn't agree.

Xu You glanced at Cao Cao, flicked down his sleeves, snorted, and left. The rest of the colleagues who wanted to ask for the pill saw that Xu You was deflated, so they were embarrassed to ask Cao Cao, and they all left with disdainful eyes.

Yuan Shao saw everyone leaving, stepped forward, patted Cao Cao and said; "Meng De, I haven't seen you for many days, I didn't expect Meng De to be more and more treacherous, even a three-year-old child took advantage of it, Baixianglou cheated us out of so much money, and now he is winning His Majesty's favor with pills, Meng De, don't be too shameless." After speaking, Yuan Shao didn't look back, and left.

After everyone left, Cao Cao stayed alone in the palace, depressed, and he carried the black pot again, hmph, we must investigate and punish whoever told Rui'er the joy of the boudoir, we must kill him! Baixiang Building? By the way, there is also the matter of Baixianglou, my Cao Mengde's private money, by the way, Cao Zhong, this dead boy, spent so much money on himself, first find this bastard to be angry!

Cao Cao didn't expect that for Lu Rui, he was saddled with a black cauldron of history, Chen Shou's "Three Kingdoms. WEI Shu. The Biography of Emperor Wu": The emperor is a hero, but there is a loss of personal morality, in the past, Luoyang took the official, borrowed the three-year-old Wenxin Hou into the Danling Emperor, skillfully took the official position, and there was no integrity of the five-color rod in Luoyang in the early years.

Cao Cao went underground, that anger, oh my God, I am Emperor Wei Wudi! The country won by force, the official position of the Han Dynasty needs to be skillful? I got it by strength! Alas, poor Cao Cao has another big black cauldron on his back!

Soon, Lu Rui was brought out by the palace people, Cao Cao took Lu Rui and went straight back to the Taiwei Mansion, Cao Cao didn't want to stay outside for a moment, once he got outside, he was definitely surrounded, although Luoyang was big, only the Taiwei Mansion was Cao Cao's place of peace for a moment!

After Cao Song resigned, he was about to return to Qianjun, because Cao Song's family in Luoyang had a big business and there were still a lot of industries to deal with, so after resigning, he continued to stay in Luoyang, preparing to spend a month dealing with his family business. Lu Rui also used this time to learn swordsmanship as soon as possible, hoping to take out all of Wang Yue's stunts!

On this day, Lu Rui got up early, and after practicing swordsmanship with Wang Yue, he bathed and returned to his room.

As soon as Lu Rui took a sip of tea in the room, Cao Zhong came to see Lu Rui, Lu Rui was stunned, why did this kid come to see him? Lu Rui didn't think much about it, so he asked his subordinates to bring Cao Zhong in, the housekeeper of the Cao Mansion still has a certain status in the Cao family.

As soon as Cao Zhong saw Lu Rui, he bowed down flatteringly and said, "Congratulations to Gongzi for entering the Qi Kingdom, and he will enjoy endless glory and wealth in the future." ”

Lu Rui looked at Cao Zhong, this Cao Zhong was a subordinate who grew up in Cao's family since he was a child, because he was clever, he was taken by Cao Song, and he was not very old, so he sat on the housekeeper of Cao Cao's room, which is not easy, and he can be regarded as a talent. Lu Rui smiled and asked, "Cao Zhong, why are you here?" ”

Cao Zhong smiled and said, "Master Hou, this time I came to say hello to my son, and I came here to give the same gift to Master Hou." After speaking, he showed a lewd smile.

Lu Rui looked at Cao Zhong's appearance, he wanted to vomit, and thought of a sentence from later generations, no one asked after ten years of hard study, and once he became known to the world, although there is no imperial examination system now, but it is really appropriate to describe the current Lu Rui. Lu Rui looked at Cao Zhong, took a bite of dim sum, and said, "Gift? What is the gift, Cao Zhong, what kind of gift, quickly bring it to this marquis. ”

Cao Zhong smiled in his heart, he was still a child, and then said, "Come in." ”

I saw a little girl of four or five years old, walked in, and after seeing Lu Rui, she knelt down and said, "Little girl Guo, meet the little marquis." As soon as Guo raised his head, Lu Rui was stunned, little beauty, melon seed face, willow eyebrows, thin ears, cherry mouth, slender jade fingers, decent manners, although only four or five years old, it can be seen that she is a beauty embryo.

Lu Rui looked at Cao Zhong, Cao Zhong said with a smile: "Childe, this is a maid bought by the villain in Luoyang City, Childe's new entry into the Hou Ye, must need a maid who can serve by his side, so villain, just." Speaking of this, Cao Zhong looked at Lu Rui flatteringly, waiting for Lu Rui's reply.

When Lu Rui heard this, he realized that Cao Zhong was going to bribe himself and find such a little maid to serve him, hehe, this kid is still an understanding person. Lu Rui looked at Guo and said, "What a beautiful little sister, it must cost a lot of money." "Although Lu Rui is young, he still knows about the buying and selling of maids, in the Han Dynasty, this is something that big families often do, Lu Rui is used to it, and he also knows that the price of maids is expensive, especially this kind of good-looking, young maid.

Cao Zhong smiled and said: "Hou Ye said that he laughed, he is very honored to do things for Hou Ye, the little one is very honored, and the money is just a foreign thing, I hope Hou Ye will accept it with a smile." ”

Lu Rui nodded, anyway, there is a lack of a maid in his room, just sent by Cao Zhong, and it also saves him trouble, and he also needs a maid when he leaves Cao's Mansion in the future, Lu Rui is naturally lazy, and someone helps him get dressed and take a bath, which is quite comfortable, especially for beautiful women. Thinking of this, Lu Rui said, "Are you going to give her to me?" In that case, I'll stay. Cao Zhong, go down. "For the gifts given by the people in Cao's mansion, Lu Rui will never refuse.

Cao Zhong arched his hand and said, "Yes, Master Hou." But Cao Zhong did not quit.

Lu Rui looked at Cao Zhong suspiciously and said, "Cao Zhong, why don't you go out yet, I still have to rest?" ”

Cao Zhong said with a smile: "Master Hou, a few days ago, I went out to buy goods, and I only returned to the house yesterday, I heard that the lord had looked for me, and he was very angry, and the villain thought that he should have done something wrong, which made the lord unhappy, so if the lord punished the villain, I hope that the son will help the villain intercede." ”

When Lu Rui heard this, it turned out that this was the case, Cao Zhong was afraid of being punished by Cao Cao, so he sent a maid to please himself, it seems that Cao Cao is carrying a big black cauldron, he is too depressed, and he wants to find someone to vent. All this originated from the gathering in Baixianglou, Cao Zhong was extravagant in Baixianglou, which cost Cao Cao a lot of money, and Cao Cao now wants to settle accounts with Cao Zhong.

Thinking of this, Lu Rui suddenly had a plan, hehe, Cao Zhong, you sent it to the door yourself, don't blame this marquis, Lu Rui glanced at Cao Zhong, then jumped down, pinched Guo's little face and said: "Okay, for the sake of you sending this beautiful sister, if the middle father beats you, I will say don't beat you, it's okay." ”

When Cao Zhong heard this, he was overjoyed in his heart and succeeded, and then arched his hand and said, "Thank you, Master Hou, the villain has taken his leave." With that, he withdrew.

After Cao Zhong retreated, Lu Rui looked at Guo Shi and asked, "What's your name?" Where are they? ”

Guo Shi walked up to Lu Rui and bowed and said, "Master Hou, the little woman's surname is Guo, her name is photo, and she is from Nanjun. came to the house, and Steward Cao gave him the name Ling'er. 'Generally, a person who enters a large family to work as a maid cannot have his own name, but can only be a name given by the master's family.

Lu Rui said: "Well, I will call you Ling'er in the future." By the way, in Cao Mansion, you still call me Gongzi, or Lu Gongzi, don't call Hou Ye. "Lu Rui has always lived in Cao Cao's house now, and he has not left the house independently, Hou Ye, Hou Ye is calling, it doesn't sound good, Cao Song is just a Hou Ye, Cao Cao doesn't have a title, he always calls, isn't it that he doesn't give Cao Cao face, an adopted son, the title is above you, what face do you Cao Mengde have?

Ling'er is also a smart person, and then says, "Got it, Childe." ”

Lu Rui nodded, then walked in front of Ling'er, looked left, looked right, turned around a few times, hehe, what a beauty, far and near. Especially this little pink face, Lu Rui wanted to pinch it as soon as he saw it.

Lu Rui pinched it with his little hand, Ling'er's face turned even redder, and then Ling'er seemed to be shy, avoiding Lu Rui's little hand, Lu Rui thought, hehe, the little sister will still be shy, fun, and then asked: "Ling'er, why don't you pinch me?" After speaking, he put his waist up and pretended to be angry.

Seeing Lu Rui's eyes widen, Ling'er trembled, and then said weakly: "Childe, there is a difference between respect and inferiority, I am a subordinate, and it is not good for others to see it." ”

When Lu Rui heard it, there was a difference between respect and inferiority? This little girl actually knows the difference between dignity and inferiority? It seems that I don't want to be born in a poor family. Lu Rui asked: "Ling'er, do you still know that there is a difference between respect and inferiority, who were you born in?" ”

Ling'er looked at Lu Rui, and then said: "Childe, Ling'er was originally the daughter of Nanjun Taishou, and she was born as an official eunuch since she was a child, but later after the Yellow Turban Rebellion, she was displaced here. ”

When Lu Rui heard it, Nanjun Taishou, big official, I didn't expect that such an official family would be exiled to Luoyang, it seems that the Yellow Turban Rebellion had a great impact on the Han Dynasty, I didn't feel anything when I read history books before, just a sentence, but now in this situation, the daughters of a county Taishou are like this, so what about the poor people?

Just when Lu Rui and Ling'er were chatting, a subordinate entered Lu Rui's room and said, "Childe? ”

Lu Rui glared at the next person, grandma's, Lao Tzu is talking to the maid, why are you coming in with a short eye, Lu Rui said unhappily: "What are you doing here?" ”

When the next person saw it, he was startled, Lu Rui is now a celebrity in Cao Mansion, a marquis, if he provokes him, his life may not be guaranteed. The subordinate hurriedly said: "Childe, this is what Steward Cao asked me to hand over to Childe, and it is Ling'er's deed of sale." After saying that, he presented the deed of sale and retreated.

When Lu Rui heard it, this Cao Zhong is really smart, he didn't sell himself to himself just now, but now he gives it, he is very good at using people's hearts, give yourself a reminder, don't forget to help him intercede in front of Cao Cao, Lu Rui smiled, he really treated me as a three-year-old child! Take advantage of the child's desire to get something loved!

Lu Rui picked up the deed of sale, which had Ling'er's birth date, as well as his ancestral hometown, name, and trade name.

Lu Rui took a look, Guo Zhao, the queen of words, a person from Nanjun, and the second daughter of Nanjun Taishou. Queen Guo? Cao Pi's queen? Lu Rui hurriedly asked, "Ling'er, do you still have words?" ”

Ling'er nodded and said: "Back to Gongzi, yes, when Ling'er was born, my father said that Ling'er was the king of girls, so the word queen, Queen Guo." ”

When Lu Rui heard this, he was stunned, obediently, Lao Tzu made a big Wei queen! Hahahaha!
