Nowadays, although it is a troubled time, birth and identity are a kind of thing that includes moral factors, talent factors, and even all aspects.

Specifically, if you are tall and have a good status, you will be considered to have both ability and political integrity to a certain extent, and then you will have a great future in the future.

As Xi Zhen...

Is it wrong for an uncle to marry his niece to someone from a better background?

There's nothing wrong with that.

Therefore, when Xi Zhen reprimanded Hao Zhao and opposed this marriage, most people tended to agree.

For example, Guan Yu, although his heart is towards Guan Lin's side, he can't force Xi Zhen again and again, which is too ungraceful.

Of course, it is not that he is not on Hao Zhao's side.

For example, Guan Yinping, such as Ma Liang, they still sympathize with this young captive.

I also feel sorry for Guan Lin's plan, the stranding that finally opened a breakthrough.

Of course, there are also faces that do not change, and the afterglow is staring at Guan Lin, and it is not a big deal to watch the excitement.

After a long time, Guan Lin finally spoke, "Patriarch Xi, the younger generation has the courage to ask, you said that this Hao Zhao's virtue is not good, and his background is not good?" But why can such a person with a bad background be able to do the capital of the tribe and lead thousands of people in Jiangxia County? And why did I, Guan Lin, personally witness his marriage, and why did my father personally kiss him? ”

Hearing that this song led thousands of people, Xi Zhen was slightly stunned, and his complexion changed vividly.

He realized that it was not easy for a white body like Hao Zhao to become a trilogy governor, that is... He relied on his real talent and hard work, accumulated meritorious deeds one by one, and fought hard.

Don't wait for Xi Zhen to figure it out.

"Patriarch Xi, what do the juniors ask you?" Guan Lin raised his voice and urged.

Xi Zhen looked at Guan Yu, but shook his head, "How do I know what the reason is?" ”

In fact, he knows, at least, the latter two questions, he knows.

The reason why your father said such a family affair is not just for you Guan Lin to recruit this group of captives, the so-called "overall situation is important"!

But even if he knew, Xi Zhen didn't dare to say it explicitly, he deliberately added a sentence, "The prince of Yunqi will marry him, and the second general will kiss him?" This kind of thing? Could it be that the prince of Yunqi doesn't know the reason, and he still wants to ask me? ”

"Of course I do." Guan Lin smiled and said, "It's just Patriarch Xi, you should also be clear." ”

Speaking of which, Guan Lin directly pulled up Hao Zhao, who was kneeling on the ground and pleaded guilty, into the lobby, and then said to everyone present, "Among you, you should all be inherited families, although they may not be the leaders in Jingzhou, but they also have their own place, except for my father's humble background, there should be no martial arts background, right?"

This...

Hearing this, Guan Yudun felt a little heartbroken.

However, it is true, his background is really not high, like Hao Zhao is so young that Guan Yu is still a caretaker! Or maybe it's beating jujube trees to practice!

Guan Yu just thought of this.

Guan Lin's voice chanted again, "You are all inheritance families, and you must have heard that a white-clothed commoner, an ordinary warrior can be a commander and a thousand people in the military camp, what kind of ability is needed?" Just imagine my commander in Jingzhou, my fifth brother, my third sister, my second brother... Although it is a strong martial artist? But if they didn't have my father's identity, their exploits, not to mention the thousand-sucker, even the centurion would be extremely reluctant! It can be seen from this that this Hao Zhao can stand out in the Jiangxia army, doesn't this show that he is capable? ”

blurted out these words, and from Guan Yu down, everyone bowed their heads one after another.

"And it's just a matter of being the governor of the department, but this Hao Zhao is a Jiangxia soldier, and he is the governor of the department under Wenpin, and he can do this with his personal ability, he is not only outstanding, he must be appreciated by Wenpin, who is known as the 'Jiangxia Iron Wall', the offensive ability is not very good, but the defensive ability is first-class, but if this Hao Zhao can learn three percent, wouldn't it be of great benefit to me Jingzhou? Cao Cao in the north knows that meritocracy is a meritocracy, and he doesn't ask about the family? Don't... We, Jingzhou, do you Xi family want to be rejected because of such a good general and such a virtuous person? ”

"It's just..."Without waiting for everyone's reaction, Guan Yinping had already clapped his hands and applauded, acting as Guan Lin's "shouting nursery"!

Ma Liang also nodded slightly.

Guan Yu's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said secretly in his heart:

- "It's still a familiar cloud flag... This one mouth can be said to be alive if it is dead!'

"Look at this Hao Zhao again..."Guan Lin's words continued, "Yes, what Patriarch Xi said is right, how can marriage be a child's play?" How can you lie? How can you be untrustworthy? But is it child's play, is it lying? We must not only look at the appearance of this wrongdoing, but also look at the original intention of this wrongdoing..."

Speaking of this, Guan Lin paused, his tone was raised, and he was serious, "The Han Dynasty rules the world with filial piety, this Hao Zhao changed his name to Hao Ri, is he trying to cheat marriage?" No! Obviously, he is trying to hide his name in exchange for the safety of his mother in the north, such a sincere and filial person? How could it be a deception and a thief? Could it be that there was something wrong with the filial piety he followed? ”

This time, more people opened their mouths and even nodded in praise: "That's right! ”

"And." Guan Lin turned to the door again, "Look at it, this Hao Zhao made a mistake alone, how many parts pleaded for him, there were hundreds of people kneeling in the courtyard, and there were thousands of people outside the gate of the Guan Mansion?" I dare to ask, my father often said, the establishment of prestige in the army is not only to take the lead and fight bravely, but also to treat soldiers well and love soldiers like sons, so? Hao Zhao's mistake alone attracted so many people to intercede for him, isn't this a manifestation of this tribal governor's love for soldiers? ”

At this time, Guan Yu couldn't help but stroke his beard and nodded thoughtfully.

After Guan Lin said this, he suddenly found that aside from the persuasion of the captives, this Hao Zhao is indeed worthy of him Guan Yu to go to the door to ask for relatives in person, and he is a good talent.

- "Yunqi's eyes are still as vicious as ever!"

"And, Patriarch Xi..."Guan Lin led Hao Zhao to face Xi Zhen, and raised his voice to the extreme. From Patriarch Xi's own point of view, from the fact that he confessed the truth and after you got up and refused this marriage, this Brother Hao Zhao has not changed his face except for a little sad at the beginning! ”

"Even if you ridicule him for his low background and inexpensive status, or say that he is brazen, I praise him for his prestige, love soldiers like a son, and a virtuous person, his expression has not wavered at all, this bearing, coupled with his appearance, character, and talent? Could it be that because of his background, because of his current situation, he will do nothing in his life? ”

Xi Zhen's heart was shaken, and he couldn't open his mouth.

"Patriarch Xi..."Guan Lin continued to urge: "Zi said 'the gentleman is poor', which means that the gentleman is poor and keeps the way, but people like Brother Hao Zhao can not only keep the way, but also have such a bearing, so courage, and such a talent? Don't... Will Patriarch Xi really think that he will 'solidify the poverty of the first life'? ”

Hearing this, Hao Zhao was already stunned...

The kneeling captives outside the door were also stunned, and they could never imagine that this fourth prince of Guan was not only "generous" and "beautiful as an adult", but also said such a big thing at such a time.

Just for... Prove for the Governor of these captives that he is worthy of the daughter of the clan.

Guan Yu, Ma Liang, Zhou Cang, Guan Yinping, and countless civil and military forces in the main hall, because Guan Lin's words were also thoughtful.

Xi Zhen's expression became cloudy... He opened his mouth a few times, closed it several times, as if he was making a final trade-off.

But the sobbing sound of Pang Rong in the back hall was gone.

Guan Lin raised his eyebrows and continued: "And the Pang family girl in the back hall... I Guan Lin advises, the two-legged man in this world is easy to find, but such talent, such courage, such bearing, the most important thing is to fall in love with you at first sight, Lang Jun who loves each other, if you miss it, it will be no more! The so-called male chasing female compartment mountain, female chasing male compartment yarn... Can you bear to let such a wishful man slip away from your eyes through this layer of gauze? ”

It seemed that because he heard the title of "Pang family girl", Hao Zhao's expression could no longer be suppressed, his expression changed greatly, and he looked at the back hall in horror.

Everyone's eyes also looked at the back hall at the same time.

That's when it happened.

"Uncle... Hao Lang is so capable, now that he is in a situation for a while, how can he be in a situation for the rest of his life? ”

Pang Rong's crisp female voice came out of the back hall without thinking, "Uncle, is it... Do you have to... Want to break us apart? It also made Pang and Xi's families lose such a talented, courageous, and yellow-in-law sooner or later? ”

This statement is out...

Everyone was speechless, but they all turned their eyes back to Xi Zhen.

Finally, in the midst of the changing looks, Xi Zhen let out a long sigh, and then bent down and saluted Guan Yu and Guan Lin, "If it weren't for the second general and the prince of Yunqi, my Xi and Pang Erjia almost lost a dragon fast son-in-law today." ”

Guan Yu laughed, then raised the wine bottle and said to Xi Zhen: "The wine banquet is still there, there is nothing to do today, can Guan, the matchmaker, also ask for a cup of wine?" ”

"It's nature, it's nature... I led Guan Gong to the banquet. ”

With Xi Zhen's voice, everyone got up violently, and the banquet started again.

Guan Lin saw that even when he was sent into the cave room, Hao Zhao and Pang Rong looked back at him from time to time, their eyes full of gratitude.

A good couple.

Watching a couple of newcomers enter the cave room, Guan Lin felt a beautiful feeling in his heart.

Rather than getting the "God General"...

can convince the "god general", no doubt... In Guan Lin's view, it is even more precious!

As the saying goes, it is better to demolish ten temples than to destroy a marriage!

Since ancient times, persuasion and non-persuasion are divided!

It's just that this cave room is a night of candles... Even Guan Lin didn't know.

Hao Zhao and Pang Rong, this couple of newcomers, they did not indulge in the cave room, but after a shallow taste, they walked together to the door of the thief Cao Peng's Guan Lin's house...

They want to thank this "matchmaker" who turned the tide for them...

It's just that Guan Lin has already fallen asleep after drinking a lot of wine, and today is the elk on duty, so he stood outside the door and stopped this pair of people.

"The fourth prince has already fallen asleep, let's come back tomorrow..."

Hao Zhao and Pang Rong glanced at each other, then knelt down in unison, and kowtowed deeply towards the closed door.

Hao Zhao picked up his wife and said very solemnly.

"The tired strong man told the prince of Yunqi that this love Hao Zhao has written down, from now on, the fourth prince is worried about being sent, I will definitely go to the soup and go to the fire, and I will not give up!"

Hao Zhao's words are swearing...

Elk Lu bowed, "I remember, tomorrow morning when Childe wakes up, he will bring the words!" ”

Hao Zhao and Pang Rong took a deep last look at the door in front of them, although this door separated them from Guan Sigongzi.

But there was no longer a moment, Hao Zhao felt that his heart with Guan Sigongzi was so close...

There will never be a moment when Hao Zhao will be like this, smearing a person like this!

…

…

In the hunting ground outside Fancheng, in winter, the hooves of the prey seem to be frozen, and they run very slowly.

Therefore, once you find prey in this season, it is easier to shoot the prey.

Cao Pi and Sima Yi galloped on horseback.

Sima Yi exhaled softly, the cow tendon bowstring in his hand had been stretched to the limit, and the entire rhino horn bow body made a "creaking, creaking" sound, and the arrow cluster was aimed at an elk twenty zhang away in front of him.

The deer hid in a birch forest, quietly munching on a puff of yellow leaves, unaware of the impending catastrophe.

On such a cold winter day, the sparse woods provide little cover, and the bare branches and bushes stretch out in front of them, like a natural cage that envelops the elk's massive body.

With a "whoosh", Sima Yi drew his bow and shot arrows, and the arrows flew towards the elk like meteors, and with a sound of a chirp, he found that another arrow also came out from the opposite side.

The frightened elk jumped suddenly, causing the trees beside him to shake, and then he flew on all fours, and fled in a panic towards the depths of the woods, and soon disappeared.

Sima Yi smiled helplessly, stuck the rhino horn bow in the soil, walked to the woods, pulled out the arrow shaft on the trunk of the tree, and casually brushed the somewhat crooked tail feather and inserted it back into the quiver.

Cao Pi came from the opposite side on horseback, "Today is the day when Mr. Li successfully entered the Bafu, it is still a big-bellied doe that is about to give birth, so don't kill it, right?" ”

Sima Yi looked at the arrow marks on the birch trunk, and a trace of dissatisfaction flashed in his eyes, "I think Zihuan wants to feel the kindness and love in their hearts from the former son of Cangshu (Cao Chong) and the current son of Zijian, right?" ”

Cao Pi sighed: "If it is Zijian, and Brother Chong, they have always been 'elk in the pot, can't bear to start', 'wild pheasant to protect the family, to fulfill its righteousness', 'the wild goose is the head, the benevolent does not prevent the fowl returning home', many times I can't figure it out, my father is not kind, why do you love the benevolent and loving son so much? ”

"This time... Zijian made such a big mistake, but Yang Xiu, who was punished by his father, still used his "Widow Order", but the "Nine Rank Official Law" I presented was... But the stone sank into the sea, doesn't this mean that what my father appreciates is still Zijian? Father loved his kindness and love! ”

Cao Pi looked at the path left by the elk running away, and couldn't help but be stunned.

"In this matter, Zijian didn't win, and Zihuan didn't lose..."Sima Yi persuaded: "At least although the prime minister used the "Widow Order", he put Yang Xiu in prison and gave Mr. Li to Zihuan, in general, Zihuan did not suffer..."

"But the "Nine Grades of Officials Law"..."Cao Pi was still unwilling.

"Perhaps, the prime minister is still afraid of those big families... Over the years, Xun Lingjun's death and Cui Shangshu's death have really stung the prime minister, and it has also made him more sensitive and jealous. Sima Yi said with emotion: "Over the years, Cao Wei's soldiers and horses have either been in the hands of the clan or in the hands of temporary generals. What's more..."

Sima Yi paused for a moment, "What's more, the power of this "Nine Grades Official Law" presented by Mr. Li does not lie in whether the prime minister implements it, but in the opinion of the various families and clans on Gongzi, and now, Gongzi is no longer alone." ”

This...

Sima Yi's words made Cao Pi's mood feel better.

But at this time.

There was a faint sound from the farm not far away.

- "You let go of me..."

- "I have a husband, my husband was a soldier in Jiangxia, he didn't come back, he didn't die... I'm not a widow! ”

- "Let go of me... Let go of me..."

Hearing this, Sima Yi and Cao Pi hurriedly rode their horses over there.

The closer you go, the more you can hear the footsteps of the columns of soldiers and the rubbing of their armor, and the torches illuminate the approaching dusk.

In the deep and long village lane, an official of Cao Wei bowed his head and said to the official who led the troops: "It's the three of them, who have been widowed several times, and they say that their husbands are not dead, and their husbands are in the army in Jiangxia..."

The official who led the troops was none other than Zhao Yan.

Zhao Yan sneered, "Do you dare to say that her husband is in the army in Jiangxia?" They surrendered to the enemy formation, and the mistake they made was greater than death, and now the prime minister has not punished Yu Er and others, and he has recruited you to marry again, which is already an open net, and if you dare to postpone it, the whole family will be arrested directly, and beheaded to show the public, in order to set an example! ”

Zhao Yan's words shocked these three women, they are only in their twenties, and they are in their best years of integrity...

Now... Their man is still there, but... But to be forced to marry again, this... This makes it impossible for them to pass this hurdle in their hearts.

An old man in the village advised, "Go, go... Don't let the prime minister pursue it, implicate the whole village, go, go... Remarry, forget everything here. ”

The three women are already crying pear blossoms with rain...

Zhao Yan raised his horsewhip, "Take away, take away, and the next village!" Don't delay..."

In history, it was this Zhao Yan.

After Cao Wei implemented the "widow order", whenever he went to the locality, the number of widows recruited far exceeded the original officials.

It was he who set the precedent for the spread of widows into "living wives".

Not to mention, this time, Cao Cao has already given orders to the wives and daughters of these surrendered soldiers.

For the sake of merit and achievements, Zhao Yan would rather catch it by mistake than let it go, and he couldn't rub a little sand in his eyes.

"This..."

Cao Pi, who came in a hurry, saw such a scene of bullying the weak, and he subconsciously wanted to step forward to stop it.

Sima Yi grabbed him, and he whispered: "The "Widow Order" was promulgated by the prime minister, and it was implemented throughout the country, Zihuan can think clearly, if you want to stop it, it is not the "Widow Order" that is in the way, but the prime minister!" ”

This...

Cao Pi was stunned all of a sudden, he felt that his legs were trembling, shaking terribly.

Zhao Yan noticed Cao Pi, "Who should I be?" It turned out to be a general with facial features! ”

Cao Pi frowned and reluctantly bowed his hand to Zhao Yan, "General Zhao..."

"What? Which one who doesn't have long eyes will be unhappy if he provokes the middle man with facial features? ”

Cao Pi opened his mouth angrily, and he didn't know if he was jealous of Cao Zhi's favor because of benevolence and love, or because he was disgusted that his father had adopted the "Widow Order" offered by his younger brother, and he almost wanted to explode.

Sima Yi was tugging at his clothes.

Cao Pi immediately restrained all his feelings, "I just heard what these women said, their husbands did not die in battle, and they were not widows, should this "Widow Order" also recruit them?" ”

"The middle man of the five senses, take a step to speak." Zhao Yan motioned to Cao Pi, and the three of them walked aside.

Speaking of which, Zhao Yan is one of the four famous men of Yingchuan and a son of the clan, because of a letter to the "Nine Grades of Officials Law", from the bottom of his heart, he is on Cao Pi's side, and he can naturally understand Cao Pi's mood.

"If you shouldn't say something, shouldn't Prince Zihuan still think that the nine thousand captives in Jiangxia didn't surrender to Guan Yu, right?"

"Ahh

Zhao Yan's eyes narrowed slightly, and his tone was solemn. "Many of them are going to get married in Jiangling City, so from this point of view, they are just recruiting their original wives and daughters to remarry, this is already the prime minister's open side, this matter, I advise the five senses Zhonglang General not to interfere, so as not to catch fire!"

Wow...

With Zhao Yan's words, Cao Pi's heart "chuckled".

Sima Yi hurriedly bowed his hand to Zhao Yan for Cao Pi, "Thank you General Zhao for mentioning something..."

Zhao Yan patted Sima Yi on the shoulder, "Assist Zihuan Gongzi well, we people from Yuzhou, but we are all looking forward to Zihuan Gongzi going further, and even more looking forward to Zihuan Gongzi implementing the "Nine Grades of Officials Law"!" Zihuan Gongzi must not let us down! ”

Speaking of this, Zhao Yan bowed deeply to Cao Pi.

This bow has nothing to do with humility, but more about the hope of the Yuzhou clan.

And these words made Cao Pi feel that the burden on his body was heavier!

Not long after, Zhao Yan's team left with the three "living wives"...

Cao Piyou frowned, and after a long time, he muttered, "Isn't my father afraid of forcing those Jiangxia captives?" ”

Whew-

Sima Yi exhaled heavily, "Perhaps, the prime minister is right!" ”

"For such a long time, these Jiangxia prisoners have captured so many people, and there is still some news coming back..."

"Imagine if it wasn't surrender? Who has so much food and cloth for so many captives? return the beauty of adults, help them marry wives... Where can they still be captives? ”

Speaking of this, Sima Yi solemnly said to Cao Pi: "Zihuan, don't be too naïve!" Remember, from the moment you present the "Nine Grades of Officials Law", you are no longer alone! ”

"Whatever the purpose, there are already many people who will go down this road with you, and you can't be a woman!"
