Chapter 616 Engagement
Lu Bu took Fang Zhiwen's words to heart, and soon after dawn, Ding Yuan, who was covered in mud and snow, arrived, looking at the tired face of his father-in-law with white hair, Lu Bu felt very uncomfortable, maybe it was difficult for Lu Bu to understand his father-in-law's mood, but this did not prevent Lu Bu from respecting his father-in-law, a person who remained loyal to the imperial power, just this kind of persistent mind itself should win the respect of others.
"Where are the crown prince and the prince, take your father to meet 1
"Father-in-law, the crown prince and the prince are still resting, last night was shocked and tired, and besides, you also haven't rested all night, first change your clothes, drink hot soup and then go to see you1
"How can this be, I can't see His Highness's heart is uneasy, if I don't meet His Highness, I will go to rest first, and it will not be in line with Yu Li1
Lu Bu sighed, nodded helplessly, and said: "Okay, I'll go to see if Your Highness is up, then it's okay for you to change this set of wet clothes, it's not polite to go to see Your Highness in such an embarrassed way." ”
"Oh, okay 1
"Father-in-law, the current chaos in the capital is not to protect the prince, and everything will be fine if the prince is protected from the throne, even I, a military man who doesn't know anything, can see this, and the father-in-law must be clear, doesn't the father-in-law have any further plans?"
Ding Yuan's hand that was untying his cloak froze, his eyes suddenly became a little confused and confused, and his upright body just now seemed to be slightly rickety, and the exhaustion was no longer the haggard on his face, but an aura of exhaustion and weakness permeated from his body, staining the entire surrounding environment with ash.
There was a stiffness. Ding Yuan slowly untied his cloak and handed it to Lu Bu, and the person slowly walked to the edge of the brazier in the tent, stretched out his dry hand full of calluses, and drew warmth from the brazier to relieve the coldness in his body and mind.
Lu Bu didn't speak, raised his hand and threw the soaked cloak on the shelf where the armor was placed, and took out a fox fur from his package. silently walked behind Ding Yuan and draped him on his body, Ding Yuan subconsciously tightened his grip. Squeezed out a smile and patted Lu Bu's hand.
Suddenly, he said: "Feng Xian, for the father and nothing else, just for an agreement." My father is already old, and looking back at my life, there seems to be nothing to be proud of except for raising such an excellent son as you, so I must have something to insist on, at least, let me be able to hold my chest up in front of those old fellows when I go to meet them, and say loudly that I have not broken the agreement. ”
Lu Bu was shocked. It turned out that the father-in-law's insistence was not for some illusory righteousness, but just for a simple agreement, an agreement with those comrades-in-arms and friends who had passed away, and Lu Bu didn't need to know what kind of agreement it was. Why is there such an agreement, he has completely understood his father-in-law and understood his insistence.
Lu Bu narrowed his eyes and remembered his agreement with his brothers, yes, it was an agreement that had to be kept. For a lifetime.
"If the husband stands in the world, he should be proud, he should be famous in the world, and he should make immortal achievements, follow me Lu Bu, and I will take everyone to become a hero and legend of celebrities for eternity1
Both father and son fell silent, each thinking about their own thoughts, although the two did not communicate, but both of them felt that the distance between their father and son had never been so close as it was now.
After a while, Ding Yuan sighed deeply, grinned and laughed self-deprecatingly: "Fengxian, in fact, I don't understand the situation faced by the crown prince and even the entire Han now, my father also wants to be Zhou Gongdan, but my strength is not good!" Does Feng Xian think that our father and son can sweep away Haoqiang, Kuangfu Sheji, and Zhongxing Han Dynasty? Even if you can really do it, can you guarantee that you will not become the second Wang Mang? ”
Lu Bu was stunned! He had never thought about it, or rather, he had never thought about it at such a height.
"I'm afraid my father-in-law can't! At least the child thinks that he does not have this ability, how many heroes in the world, or the child can rely on the painting halberd in his hand to dominate the battlefield and the battlefield, but the governance of the world is not just by virtue of the painting halberd in the hand can be done, the child was not sensible before, thinking that with a passion and a halberd can calm the world, since operating in Yanbei for a few years to understand, governing the world is a hundred times more difficult than immediately competing for the throne. ”
Ding Yuan smiled with relief: "Yes, I have always asked you to be the chief secretary in fact, I want Feng Xian to discover this by himself, force is very important, but force cannot replace politics, and even must be subordinated to politics, Feng Xian can now understand this as a father and rest assured." In fact, it was all because the father was wrong, and he should have let Bong go out and fly alone a long time ago, and the eagle pushed his child off the cliff from the nest because he loved the child.1
Lu Bu was silent for a moment, then grinned:
"Father-in-law, then let's go back to the state, and wait for the crown prince to ascend the throne."
Ding Yuan shook his head with a smile: "It's Fengxian that you go back to Bingzhou, and you can't go back because of your father." ”
"Why is that?"
"The prince will not let his father go back, for I have a wonderful child.1
Lu Bu's eyes rolled and he understood what Ding Yuan wanted to express, and his face couldn't help but change a little, but when he saw Ding Yuan's expression, he suddenly had some understanding.
"The boy stays, and the father-in-law goes back, and I don't believe in fighting those fellows.1
"Hehe, my son is the dragon among people, enough to look down on the world, but these things are not suitable for you, everyone has their own strengths, don't compare things with others that you are not good at, that is not courage, but stupidity."
"Father-in-law...... Needless to say, it has been decided for my father, my son is not a hero, he will definitely compete with heroes on the battlefield, leaving a good name for the ages, don't get involved in the politics of intrigue, if you can't avoid it, then find someone who is good at helping you, as long as you fully trust him. ”
Lu Bu was about to speak, but Ding Yuan raised his hand to stop him, and continued: "I know that you have a close relationship with some strangers, but those people are not enough to support them, and I must not forget this. ”
Lu Bu hesitated for a moment, and replied solemnly: "The child wrote down 1."
Ding Yuan smiled with satisfaction, paused for a moment, stood up and said:
"Okay, I heard footsteps outside, presumably the prince is going to summon him, let's go, let's go and meet the prince together, and see if this future supreme can become a lord of Zhongxing1
Lu Bu pursed his lips, took the big coat handed over by Ding Yuan, put it away, and followed Ding Yuan out...... Bingzhou Assassin Shi Ding Yuan met with His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness the Prince, and met with the Queen Mother and the Queen. ”
"Lord Ding doesn't need to be polite, please sit down1
It was the Queen Mother who spoke, after a night and a morning of rest, and then changed into a neat set of clothes, although there was no gorgeous jewelry decoration, but the old lady's luxurious temperament made up for all this, and the Queen Mother returned to that glorious appearance, looking extremely noble.
The little prince knelt beside the queen mother, blinked his big eyes and looked at the white-bearded old man's body curiously, and finally cast his eyes full of admiration to Lu Bu.
The crown prince still looked frightened, just snuggled in the arms of the young and beautiful Empress He, only revealing half of his face and one eye, glanced at Ding Yuan timidly, and buried his face in the queen's arms.
Empress He looked at Ding Yuan lightly, but her eyes were full of ridicule and resentment.
Ding Yuan glanced at Queen He with some puzzlement, and then suddenly suddenly, but he didn't care about this woman's hatred, and believed that his actual actions would explain everything.
"The minister's rescue is too late, and he is terrified1
"Lord Ding doesn't need to blame himself, this is not the fault of adults, the fault is that the Son of Heaven mistakenly believed in that He Jin 1
Empress Dowager Dong's words made Empress Dowager He seriously burst into anger, Ding Yuan sighed secretly, when he said this, Empress Dowager Dong would probably die in the future!
Ding Yuan glanced at Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong, who were standing on the side waiting, and a cold smile hung on the corner of his mouth.
"Panic! The ministers will expel Dong Zhuo as soon as possible and restore peace in the capital, please rest assured that the Queen Mother and Her Royal Highness 1
"Hehe, not to mention whether you can expel Dong Zhuo, this palace will ask you, what about after the expulsion?"
Ding Yuan was stunned, Queen He's words directly forced Ding Yuan into a corner, who said that Queen He was stupid? Isn't that clever!
"After the expulsion, it is natural to restore the normal order of the court."
"Then let the ministers of the court depose the crown prince and continue to use their power to fiddle with this little puppet and this old lady, haha...... Empress He suddenly laughed out loud, but this almost crazy sentence hit the hearts of the Queen Mother, Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and others.
Everyone's eyes couldn't help but turn to Ding Yuan together, and as for the somewhat crazy Queen He, everyone chose to turn a blind eye.
Ding Yuan secretly complained, he didn't understand, but he understood very well, it was easy to expel Dong Zhuo, could it be possible to expel Yuan Kui? If Yuan Kui and others are not expelled, the government will still be in the hands of the family, just as Queen He said, Yuan Kui is afraid that he will abolish the government, and then control the government, so that the old and the young in the palace will become their puppets!
If this situation is so simple, the Son of Heaven would have expelled these clans a long time ago, but Empress He brought up this matter in person, but Ding Yuan couldn't help but answer.
It's just that there is really no way to explain this problem clearly in one or two sentences, not to mention, it is also mixed with contradictions between the prince and the prince, and between the queen mother and the queen.
Looking at his father-in-law's embarrassment, Lu Bu couldn't help but feel a little angry, he kindly saved you, and now it's not what happened, so he began to put on a high-minded face, besides, this is your Liu family's, can it be blamed on the father-in-law!
The furious Lu Bu was about to open his mouth to refute, when suddenly Cao Xing's voice came from outside the big tent: "His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness the Prince, the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother, Feng Ning is too guarded to come and meet 1RQ!" ~!
