Chapter 8: The Trip to Luoyang (5) The Big Fool

Time flies quickly, two days have passed, today is the day when Cao Song and Cao Cao entered the palace to meet Emperor Han Ling, the people of Cao's mansion got up early in the morning to get busy, helping Cao Song and Cao Cao to prepare, meeting the emperor is a big deal, but it is not sloppy, Lu Rui also got up early, under the service of the maid, bathed and changed clothes, put on a green and red robe, came to the front hall, waiting for Cao Cao and Cao Song.

Soon, Cao Song and Cao Cao were also dressed neatly, came to the front hall, took Lu Rui to the carriage, and went to the palace. Under the leadership of the palace people, Cao Song and the three of them came to the Imperial Garden and waited for the summons of Emperor Ling of Han.

Lu Rui entered the palace for the first time, and it was the first time to come to the imperial garden, very excited, in the garden where they stayed, look left, look right, look cute, provoke the palace maid and eunuch next to him to laugh, of course, Lu Rui is pretending, a child, just that little preference, can not drink tea there like Cao Song and Cao Cao.

Lu Rui originally thought that he would be able to meet Emperor Han Ling soon, but unfortunately, Lu Rui and his party waited for two hours and were not summoned, but some palace people would bring fruits and snacks to Lu Rui and his party from time to time. Lu Rui squinted his eyes in the endless waiting, and fell asleep on Cao Cao's body.

It wasn't until the afternoon that Emperor Han Ling summoned Cao Song and his party, it turned out that Emperor Han Ling had just gotten up, grandma's, it was really a famous emperor in Chinese history, and he didn't get up until this time, it is estimated that there was a noble man's palace fooling around last night, hehe, I like to mix so much, the master will make you happy!

"Cao Song's visit!" A little eunuch shouted in a shrill voice, and Cao Song and his party entered the palace hall, at this time a man in his early thirties, wearing a black python robe, sat on the top of the hall, this is Emperor Han Ling. There was no dragon robe in the Han Dynasty, the dragon robe was only available in the Sui and Tang dynasties, and the emperors of the Han Dynasty generally wore black robes, which were generally embroidered with pythons, phoenixes, peacocks and other patterns.

Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty looks good, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, good facial features, and heroic spirit between his eyebrows, it is hard to imagine that he is the Emperor Ling of the Eastern Han Dynasty, a famous king in Chinese history. However, from the complexion of Emperor Han Ling, it can be seen that Emperor Han Ling is a person who is overly drunk, young, slightly decadent, and from time to time he slaps his mouth with his hand and snorts.

Cao Song and his entourage knelt down and said: "Cao Song brings his family to see Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty, long live, long live!" Lu Rui also shouted long live.

Emperor Han Ling looked at Cao Song and his party, then nodded, and said, "Cao Aiqing is flat, let Aiqing wait for a long time, let's have lunch first, and then catch up with Aiqing." ”

Cao Song arched his hand and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty!" ”

Subsequently, Emperor Han Ling and Cao Song and his party began to eat. The imperial diet of the Han made Lu Rui stammer, the diet of the Han is already so rich? In the imperial diet of the Han Dynasty, there are not only Chinese food that Lu Rui has eaten in Luoyang, but also Western food, such as wine, grapes from the Western Regions, and even some early Western desserts, as well as Indian curry, Middle Eastern food, it is simply a world food dinner, grandma's, really the famous ** emperor in history, so enjoyable, eating a meal is so luxurious, sin, sin, although the Cao family is a big family, the diet is also extravagant, but compared with Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, it is really a big deal!

After lunch, Emperor Han Ling met Cao Song's family in the Wude Palace, Emperor Han Ling looked at Cao Song, and then said: "Cao Aiqing, I haven't seen you for many years, Aiqing is old, when I entered the Weiyang Palace in the past, Cao Aiqing was in his prime." ”

Here I want to say that Cao Song's adoptive father, who is Cao Teng, a famous eunuch in the Eastern Han Dynasty, has served as the emperor of the Four Dynasties, and was named the Marquis of Fei Ting during the period of Emperor Liu Huan because of his merits, that is, at that time, Cao Teng had a relationship with Emperor Ling of Han, because Emperor Huan of Han had no queen, so he would definitely choose one of his nephews, Cao Teng pressed the treasure on Liu Hong, that is, now Emperor Ling of Han. Although Cao Teng was dead when Emperor Ling of Han succeeded to the throne, Cao Song was still there, and he could be regarded as a minister of the dragon, so the Cao family's power in the Eastern Han Dynasty was still very large.

Cao Song stood up, squirmed his huge body, stood in the center, and bowed: "Thank you, Your Majesty, Your Majesty still remembers the old minister, in the past, the old minister was able to welcome His Majesty into the Weiyang Palace, Your Majesty is still a child, and now Your Majesty is in full swing, which makes the old minister sigh." After speaking, he began to wipe his tears with his hands, Lu Rui was the first time to see Cao Song's performance, girl, Cao Song pretended to cry more than Liu Bei!

When Emperor Han Ling saw Cao Song like this, he was also touched by the scene, and then said: "Cao Aiqing, please get up quickly, Cao Aiqing resigned today and returned to his hometown, and I decided to reward Cao Aiqing with ten thousand taels of gold to live for the rest of his life." ”

After hearing this, Cao Song arched his hand and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward!" "Lu Rui heard it, grandma's, it's really a big deal, 10,000 taels of gold, but think about it, it's nothing, Captain Cao Song bought it for 40 million dollars, which is equivalent to 40,000 taels of gold, Emperor Ling of Han only paid back a quarter to Cao Song, he is really a person who can do business, in the Han Dynasty, the value of gold is not very high, because food and clothing have not been solved, how high can the price of luxury goods be?

Emperor Han Ling nodded, then looked at Cao Cao and said, "Cao Mengde? ”

Cao Cao hurriedly stepped forward and bowed: "Cao Mengde, see Your Majesty!" Hooray, hooray, hooray! ”

Emperor Han Ling said: "No need to be polite, Cao Mengde, you are the son of Cao Aiqing, and naturally you are also my loyal minister of the Han Dynasty. Emperor Han Ling's words have a deep meaning, Emperor Han Ling also knows the power of the general He Jin, so he uses the eunuchs to suppress it, but the eunuchs have never had any talent, and Cao Cao's words are to tell him, Cao Cao, you have to remember that you are a courtier of the Han Dynasty, not a courtier of He Jin!

Cao Cao arched his hand and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, the minister will definitely try his best to be loyal to the Han family!" Emperor Han Ling nodded, and then motioned for Cao Cao to retreat.

After Cao Cao retreated, Emperor Han Ling saw Lu Rui next to Cao Song, a three-year-old child, still holding a night pearl in his hand and playing, Emperor Han Ling smiled, pointed at Lu Rui with his finger and said, "Cao Aiqing, this is your adopted grandson, Cao Mengde's adopted son, Lu Rui?" ”

When Cao Song heard this, he immediately stood up and replied, "Yes, Your Majesty! ”

As soon as Lu Rui heard that the opportunity for his fool had come, Lu Rui immediately jumped out, knelt down and said: "Lu Rui see Your Majesty, long live, long live, long live!" ”

When Emperor Han Ling heard this, he laughed, and then said: "Cao Aiqing, this son is cute and has an extraordinary bearing, he must be a person who will be a marquis in the future!" ”

Before Lu Rui could wait for Cao Song to answer, Lu Rui bowed and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for appointing Lu Rui as a marquis!" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned, obediently, Xiao Lu Rui, Your Majesty said that you will be a marquis in the future, not for you!

Cao Cao was sweating profusely on the side, and said in a low voice: "Rui'er, it's not a feudal marquis, it's not a feudal marquis." ”

At this time, Zhang Rang shouted beside him: "Bold boy, Your Majesty just appreciates you, how can you be a marquis!" ”

At this time, Lu Rui took out the ability to play treasures, and cried in the main hall and said: "It is Your Majesty who wants to give me the title of marquis, and it is Your Majesty who wants to give me the title of marquis!" ”

Seeing this, Cao Song hurriedly stepped forward, picked up Lu Rui, and then complained to Emperor Han Ling: "Your Majesty, Rui'er is not in a situation, the three-year-old child has misunderstood, please forgive Your Majesty." After speaking, he coaxed Lu Rui, so that Lu Rui didn't cry.

When Emperor Han Ling saw this scene, he laughed and said, "Cao Aiqing, your adopted grandson is really clever, and he can talk to him, not bad, not bad." Cao Song hurriedly confessed.

Emperor Han Ling looked at Lu Rui and said, "Lu Rui, if you want to be a marquis, you must make a great contribution to the court or me, I don't know what great contribution Rui'er is going to make?" "Emperor Han Ling saw that Lu Rui was clever, and he also wanted to tease him.

When Lu Rui heard this, hehe, Liu Hong, you have spoken, and then Lu Rui wiped his tears and said: "Your Majesty, I have something to pay tribute to Your Majesty, Your Majesty must like it, then I will make a meritorious service." ”

When Emperor Han Ling heard it, he was happy, this kid still knows some things, if he pays tribute, he likes it, it is also a great achievement, and it is not a problem to be a marquis, and when the time comes, he can also ask Cao Song for a sum of money, and it is another income. Thinking of this, Emperor Han Ling asked, "Lu Rui, what do you have to pay tribute to me?" ”

Lu Rui took out a small bottle from his arms, then shook out a red pill and said, "Your Majesty, this medicine is called the elixir, it can help the joy of His Majesty's boudoir, is it a great achievement?" ”

As soon as Lu Rui's words came out, everyone was stunned, the joy of the boudoir? How do three-year-olds know the joy of the boudoir? Emperor Han Ling was stunned, Cao Song and Cao Cao were also stunned, and everyone was stunned.

After a while, Emperor Han Ling reacted, and then asked playfully, "Rui'er, do you know any boudoir fun?" ”

Lu Rui looked at Emperor Han Ling, and then at Cao Cao and said, "Your Majesty, you know, the middle father often rides on the eldest lady and several mothers in person, and he is still out of breath, this is the joy of the boudoir." ”

When Emperor Han Ling heard this, he immediately burst out laughing, Lu Rui's explanation was too interesting, and then Emperor Han Ling pointed at Cao Song and Cao Cao and said: "Cao Aiqing, the family style is open, which opens my eyes, hahahaha!" ”

Cao Song and Cao Cao hurriedly arched their hands and said, "Your Majesty is false! Then Cao Song glared at Cao Cao, and his eyes clearly said, "Meng De, what are you doing?" Cao Song naturally thought that this was Cao Cao's plan.

Cao Cao is innocent at this time, it's really not me, it's not me, who is it? Who taught Rui'er? Hmph, it must be easy to find out, Cao Cao's face was flushed at this time, grandma's, the joy of the boudoir, was described by Lu Rui as a breeding pig, shame, shame!

After laughing at Cao Song and Cao Cao, Emperor Han Ling looked at Lu Rui and asked, "Rui'er, what kind of elixir is this, is it really as amazing as you say?" "Emperor Han Ling, the absurd monarch, dares to be interested, he thinks that Lu Rui's three-year-old child can't lie, it must be designed by Cao Song and his son to please him, yes, this, I like it, Cao Song and his son, great loyal minister!

Lu Rui bit his finger and said, "Your Majesty, it's very useful, this is what Rui'er received from an old divine doctor." Rui'er asked how effective the divine doctor was, and the divine doctor said that the person who was punished in the palace can still practice the pleasure of the boudoir and continue the heir, what does Your Majesty mean by this? ”

When Emperor Han Ling heard this, it was really the ploy of Cao Song's father and son, of course Lu Rui didn't know what a palace torturer was, but this medicine was really so magical? At this time, Zhang Rang next to Emperor Han Ling, the corners of his mouth moved, what, the person who was punished in the palace can still continue to be the heir? Is there such a miracle medicine in the world?

Emperor Han Ling smiled and said, "Rui'er, the person who was punished in the palace is a person like Gonggong Zhang, is your elixir really so magical?" Can anyone who is punished by the palace be able to enjoy the joy of fish and water again? ”

Lu Rui looked at Emperor Han Ling and said, "Your Majesty, the divine doctor said so at the beginning, if you take this elixir for three years, you will definitely be able to enjoy the joy of fish and water again, Your Majesty doesn't believe it, you can try it!" With that, he stretched out his hand.

Emperor Han Ling saw it and stood up slightly, and Zhang Rang also stepped forward, and Emperor Han Ling said to the little eunuch: "You go and bring it to me!" ”

After hearing this, the little eunuch ran over, and when he arrived in front of Lu Rui, Lu Rui took his hand back and said, "Your Majesty, this pill costs money, 10,000 yuan a piece, and you have to give money." ”

When Zhang Rang heard this, he scolded: "Lu Rui, the pill is what the emperor asks, how can you ask for money?" ”

When Emperor Han Ling heard this, he waved his hand and said: "Father, this is not right, buy and sell, buy and sell, there is only when you buy, this is also what Rui'er paid to collect, come on, take 10,000 yuan to Rui'er." "Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty can't help but be extravagant, and it's very boring, it's not appropriate for the emperor to learn how to do business, and turn a manor in the palace into a street market, it's really boring, no wonder the Han Dynasty will lose the country!

Lu Rui accepted 10,000 yuan before handing over the pill to Emperor Han Ling, who took the pill from the little eunuch and immediately took it. As soon as the pill entered his stomach, Emperor Han Ling felt a heat in his lower body, and Emperor Han Ling immediately rushed to **, of course, to Yunyu.

Leaving Zhang Rang and other eunuchs, and Cao Song's father and son and Lu Rui in the main hall, Cao Song looked at Cao Cao angrily, this Meng De, if you have such a plan, you won't tell me? It's really the opposite.

Cao Cao lowered his head and kept thinking about it, who is it? Whoever taught Rui'er this, he must find out, find out, I must kill him. Cao Cao and Cao Song were both deceived by Lu Rui's appearance, but they didn't expect that under the body of a three-year-old child, he was actually an adult, and he was still an adult!

About an hour later, Emperor Han Ling's face was ruddy and he walked in laughing, at this time, Emperor Han Ling seemed to be a different person, his feet were powerful, his spirit was flying, and he didn't feel tired at all. Although there was also a boudoir pill in the Tai Hospital before, none of them could be compared with Lu Rui's, after he was done, he was still so energetic, in fact, Emperor Han Ling didn't know that Hua Tuo just controlled the dosage and added some calming things, and improved the medicine, just like Hua Tuo said, it does not contain harmful substances!

Zhang Rang saw Emperor Han Ling, his eyes lit up, revealing a trace of essence, could there really be such a magical elixir that could give the palace torturer a new life? Having a son again, this is the dream of these eunuchs! Emperor Han Ling looked at Lu Rui, laughed and said: "Rui'er, your elixir is really not simple, how many do you have, all of them will be dedicated to me, and I will seal you as an official at the market price!" "Emperor Han Ling was already overjoyed, and he actually wanted to discount Lu Rui's elixir into the market price and sell Lu Rui for an official position.

When Lu Rui heard this, he arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty has 400 pills, all of them are dedicated to Your Majesty, according to 10,000 yuan is 4 million yuan, I don't know what kind of official can I buy for 4 million yuan?" After speaking, Lu Rui stretched out four fingers and waved them.

This time, Emperor Han Ling was stunned and forgot, Lu Rui's elixir is not cheap, four million yuan, that is an official of the Taiwei, he just sent Cao Song away, could it be that Lu Rui was named the Taiwei, a three-year-old child, as the Taiwei of the Han Dynasty? It's child's play.

Just when Emperor Han Ling was in a dilemma, Zhang Rang stood up, arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty, the old slave thinks that since Lu Rui has made such a great achievement, His Majesty can make him the marquis, and the marquis is also worth four million dollars." ”

When Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty heard it, it was really a clever plan, the marquis, the highest marquis of the Han Dynasty, generally only the relatives of the Han family can serve as it, and enjoy the food of a vassal state, generally more than 1,000 households. Although Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's Tui En Decree made the Han clan have no real power, there are still a lot of food estates, so this title is definitely comparable to Taiwei!

Thinking of this, Emperor Ling of Han said, "Come on, take the map of the Han Dynasty and present it to Rui'er." ”

Soon a global map of the Han Dynasty was placed in front of Lu Rui, this is a piece of the whole territory of the Han Dynasty made of parchment, Lu Rui didn't understand what was going on, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty said: "Rui'er, this is the global map of my Han Dynasty, you choose a place, and I will make you a prince." "It turns out that Emperor Han Ling is playing this hand, Emperor Han Ling is really interesting, and it is so fun to be an official.

Lu Rui lay on the map and looked at it, the fiefdom of the prince is divided according to the distribution of the vassal states of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States, but the troubled times of the Han Dynasty are coming, whether their own food can be guaranteed or not, it is still the same thing, choose a place to eat Yi, well, you must choose a rich place that Cao Cao can control in the early days, so that you can ensure your own food yip.

Thinking of this, Lu Rui looked at the map, then calculated in his heart, pointed to Xuzhou and said, "Your Majesty, Lu Rui wants to be a fief here." ”

Emperor Han Ling looked at it, and then laughed and said: "Rui'er, you really know how to choose, good Xuzhou, I will make you the Marquis of Qi, and there are 1,000 households!" Cao Song and Cao Cao glanced at each other, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty is so generous, the Marquis of Qi, Qi Chuyan, Zhao Wei, Han Qin, Qi is a big country in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and the fief of Qi involves the two major states of Xuzhou and Qingzhou in the Han Dynasty.

Lu Rui hurriedly thanked him and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, long live, long live, long live!" In this way, Lu Rui became the first foreign surname of the Marquis in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, and began Lu Rui's official road in this era.

Emperor Ling of Han was very happy and left Cao Song and others for dinner before letting Cao Song and others leave the palace. After Cao Song and the others left, Emperor Han Ling took the pill given to him by Lu Rui and happily went to **.

The day after Lu Rui returned to the house, Zhang Rang came to Taiwei's Mansion and visited Cao Song, ostensibly to see Cao Song, but in fact, it was for the elixir that Lu Rui dedicated to Emperor Han Ling, Cao Song knew Zhang Rang's ability, glared at Cao Cao with his eyes, and left, hum, stinky boy, you can solve the matter yourself, what is a person who is a palace torturer, reborn? Giving birth again, Zhang Rang is just a pioneer, and when you get to the back, look at what my Taiwei Mansion will become?

Cao Cao was also helpless, and could only say that this was the elixir that Lu Rui had gotten, and he didn't have it in his own hands, but please rest assured that he would let Lu Rui go to Zhang Rang's mansion and offer the elixir at that time. When Zhang Rang heard this, he was immediately furious, Cao Mengde, I am the head of the eunuchs, you actually treat me like this? Zhang Rang suppressed his anger and walked away.

Cao Cao is not convinced, this is not something that I Cao Mengde did, why is it all on me? Hmph, Zhang Rang, you are just a eunuch, and you dare to be presumptuous in front of my Cao family, hmph, when my grandfather was alive, you were not a dog? In this way, the elixir in Cao Cao's mansion that gave the palace torture a new life spread, and Cao Cao caused a lot of trouble in Luoyang. Cao Cao passed away to the underworld and said to the king of Hades: "King Hades, this is really not what I Cao Mengde did!" ”
