"My father-in-law is here, the Zhen Mansion is full of glory!" In Wuji City, Zhen Yao had just welcomed Lu Bu into Wuji. When he walked into Zhen Mansion with him, he said with a smile on his face: "Lingqi is thinking about her. Geniuses can only It takes 3 seconds to remember¡±
When Lu Bu heard this, he shook his head and sighed: "How could a daughter of a certain family not know? It's good that she remembers me as her father. How can she miss me?" He said this, but his eyes were shining with joy. It was obviously just a joke. .
"Daddy said bad things about Lingqi again." By coincidence, Lu Lingqi, holding little Zhen Feng's hand, had just walked from the side hall. When she heard Lu Bu's words, she immediately curled her lips and said to her son: "Feng'er, your grandfather said bad things about mother. , we ignored him.¡±
Although Zhen Feng was young, she was Zhen Yao's son after all. She was now five or six years old. She tilted her head and looked at her mother, then at her grandfather and father who were talking. She still took off her little hand held by Lu Lingqi and stepped forward. He walked to Lu Bu with small steps, smiled and said, "Fu'er, have you met your grandfather? Grandfather is here to see Fu'er?"
"Look, you are not as sensible as my good grandson." Lu Bu laughed immediately, picked up Zhen Feng, shook his head at Lu Lingqi, who had her little mouth raised, and said, "Zhen Feng, have you been learning martial arts recently? Maybe you are playing tricks. Two hits?"
Lu Bu¡¯s only regret in his life was that he could not give birth to a son and pass on this skill to him. Although Lu Lingqi is not bad at learning, she is still a girl after all, and she has only scratched the surface of many things and failed to go into depth.
Therefore, Lu Bu placed his hope on the next generation. Zhen Feng can be said to be Lu Bu's expectation. He thought that this kid could grow to the height he expected, and then pass on all his martial arts skills to the next generation.
Lu Lingqi was taught martial arts by Lu Bu when she was young, so she knew the pain and suffering of martial arts. She felt sorry for her son, so she naturally didn't want Zhen Feng to be like her. As soon as Lu Bu finished asking, he replied: "Dad, you are talking nonsense again. Fong'er is only a five-year-old child, how can he practice martial arts!"
Lu Lingqi did not force her son to practice martial arts, and Zhen Yao would not force Zhen Feng to learn this or that. Except for Zhen Ang, who has been determined as the successor and needs to strictly follow the goals he has set, Zhen Yao is relatively loose with his other sons. Any learning is based on their own interests and will not be forced.
Zhen Yao and his wife thought so, but Lu Bu didn't think so. His face darkened but he glared at his daughter: "You have been practicing martial arts with your father since you were four years old. Now Feng'er is only six years old, why? You can't practice it! That's all, you two don't want to teach, so Bu will teach you personally!" After saying that, he looked directly at Zhen Yao and Lu Lingqi with some anger.
Zhen Yao knew Lu Bu's thoughts and could understand them, but as a descendant, he really didn't want his children to have no happiness at all when they were young. Of course, Zhen Ang is excepted. After all, as the eldest son, he will succeed him in the future. The others can live the life they want, but he cannot. This is also the helplessness of the powerful family.
"Grandpa, don't be angry. Mother didn't let Zhen Feng stop practicing martial arts." Little Zhen Feng was a little nervous. She pulled Lu Bu's sleeve and whispered: "Xiao'er also learned it secretly, but she didn't practice well." At this time, Zhen Feng's little face showed a little frustration.
After hearing this, Lu Bu's complexion became a little better. He touched Zhen Sheng's head, nodded and smiled: "It doesn't matter, my grandson, Lu Bu, can't learn martial arts. From tomorrow on, he will follow me to practice martial arts!"
"Father is coming this time?" Lu Lingqi knew her father's temper well and knew that she could not change Lu Bu's decision. But my father is going back to Bingzhou, so is he taking his son with him?
"My father is not going anywhere now. He is teaching my grandson martial arts in Wuji!" Lu Bu also had a bad temper. He glared and said, "You two, don't you like that I'm here?"
"Fengxian's words are serious, how could Lingqi be unhappy?" Zhen Yao could only shake his head and smile bitterly, but he also knew about Zhen Feng secretly practicing martial arts. Since his son liked it, he let him go. What's more, with Lu Bu's ability, what he teaches should be a little flying general, so why not do it!
"The matter is settled like this!" Lu Bu nodded with satisfaction, patted Zhen Feng's little head, and let him go to the ground to play. He turned to Zhen Yao and said, "I am here to claim justice for you. What are you going to do now?" Already?"
Listening to Lu Bu's tone, it was as if the emperor was a member of his own family. As long as he was prepared, he could be done immediately, which made Zhen Yao dumbfounded. First. Although Lu Bu came all the way for this matter, Zhen Yao was very grateful: "This matter was brought up by his subordinates, so Yao just let them mess around."
Zhen Yao and Lu Bu were talking about business. Lu Lingqi obediently stepped aside, took Zhen Feng's hand, and went to see Zhang's mother who was chatting with her in the backyard. Since marrying into Wuji, I have met my father a few times, but I haven't seen my mother for several years.
When Mrs. Yan saw her daughter and grandson, she felt indescribably happy. She hugged Zhen Feng and made love to her.After a while, I started to ask this and that. Although there were many questions, they were all about little Zhen Feng's daily trivial matters, and Zhang and Lu Lingqi were happy to answer them with a smile.
Not long after Lu Bu settled down in Wuji, messengers were sent from Chang'an, Shu and other places to express the attitude of Zhang Jia, Zhang Fei, Ju Shuo and others towards Zhen Yao's proclaiming himself duke. Needless to say, Zhang Fei has followed Zhen Yao for the longest time among civil and military officials. Let alone proclaiming himself a duke, even Zhen Yao would raise his hands in favor of deposing the emperor and becoming the emperor.
Jushou and Zhangja¡¯s replies were very reserved, but they were equally happy to see each other, so Guo Jia showed these letters to Zhen Yao to read. Zhen Yao had already read Tian Feng's reply. Regarding Tian Feng's reply letter expressing support, I thought it was a bit incredible when I first read it, but after thinking about it carefully, I understood it.
After the envoys from the counties under his command rushed to Wuji, envoys from all sides of Sun, Cao and Liu also arrived one after another. Cao Cao's account was Mao Jie, Sun Quan's account was Yu Fan, Liu Biao's account was Yin Ji, Gongsun Du's son Gongsun Kang, and more I originally stayed in Machao, Xiliang, Wuji. As a result, except for the Shibian in Jiaozhou who had inconvenient transportation and did not know about it, the spokespersons of all the forces in the Han Dynasty had already arrived.
At this moment, the Han Dynasty has also passed the old year and ushered in the new year (the ninth year of Jian'an, 204). In the first month of the first month, Zhen Yao, on behalf of the emperor, first received the envoys from all parties one by one at the Prefectural Mufu, but he did not mention the fact that he was proclaimed king.
At the first morning meeting of the new year, Xu You first came to the court and said: "Your Majesty, the general Zhen Yao has put down the chaos of the Han Dynasty and governed the people of the world. His hard work is indeed a great achievement. Only when you give advice and advice with kindness can you show it." Emperor¡¯s favor.¡±
Although it is not a secret that the people below intend to push Zhen Yao to advance to the next level, Liu Xie, who is in the palace and surrounded by Zhen Yao's eyes and ears, has not heard any news at all. Seeing Xu You say this, he just thought that Zhen Yao was thinking of ways to reward him again. After hesitating for a moment, he said: "What Ai Qing said is absolutely true. The general is my big man's humerus, and he deserves a heavy reward."
As soon as Liu Xie finished speaking, Yan Rou jumped out: "Your majesty is wise, in my opinion, the rank of general is extremely popular, and the wealth of his family is the best in the world. Unless he is granted the title of Duke, he will not be able to see your majesty's grace."
"The general deserves the courtesy of the duke, and I hope your majesty will show you your grace!" This sentence ignited most of the courtiers. Needless to say, Zhen Yao was a civil servant, and those who did not want to offend Zhen Yao and were friends with Zhen Yao all spoke at the same time.
" If the unison of the courtiers made Liu Xie angry and frightened, as envoys from various states, Yin Ji, Yu Fan and others also bowed their heads to support this matter, but it made Emperor Xian Liu Xie feel as uncomfortable as eating flies. Seeing all the civil and military officials in the dynasty kneeling down to ask for orders, and those who didn't kneel down didn't dare to make any other move, Liu Xie felt a chill in his heart. It was as if his surname was no longer Liu in the world.
As the protagonist of this matter, Zhen Yao kept a low profile at this moment, standing at the forefront of the generals, looking at his nose and his heart, as if so many voices had nothing to do with him.
Liu Xie¡¯s complexion alternated between cold and hot, but he was quite stimulated. After finally calming down, he looked at Zhen Yao: "General, do you think I deserve this reward?" His words did not sound like the arrogance of an emperor, but rather like a discussion.
"Your Majesty has made his own decision, Yao dare not make any unreasonable remarks." Zhen Yao looked calm, and it was impossible to tell what he was thinking.
Liu Xie nodded with a wry smile, then looked down at the civil and military personnel who were still kneeling down. After a while, he waved his hands and said, "You guys get up first. The general has made outstanding contributions. I have made my own decision."
With everyone making such a fuss about the court affairs, no one could care about what happened next. Even when envoys from various parties met one after another, Liu Xie just responded with a simple "hmm" and then directly announced his withdrawal from the court.
As soon as Zhen Yao and the civil and military officials left the palace and returned to the Prefectural Mufu, the imperial edict arrived. The young father-in-law who delivered the edict was also from Zhen Yao. When he saw Zhen Yao, he first said "Lord" and then took out the imperial edict in the box and read out:
"The emperor's decree: Today's general Zhen Yao has made great contributions to the country. He has supported orthodoxy in troubled times and the people under his rule live and work in peace and contentment. I am very pleased. I specially designate Zhen Yao as the Duke of Zhongshan to express his holy will."
"Congratulations, lord." After the young father-in-law finished reading the imperial edict and handed it to Zhen Yao, he quickly bowed and said: "From now on, no one in the Han Dynasty can be at the right of my lord."
"Don't talk nonsense." His eyes flashed with joy, but Zhen Yao still frowned and said solemnly: "If others listen to this, do you still want your head? Go to the house to get hundreds of dollars, and you will be allowed to take three days off."
"Thank you so much, my lord. Thank you so much, my lord." The young eunuch thanked him repeatedly, then quickly walked into the prefect's mansion and went to the chief clerk of the mansion to ask for the reward. As soon as the little eunuch who read out the imperial edict left, the civil and military officials who had not dispersed gathered around him.
"Congratulations, my lord, for ascending to the high position of Zhongshan Gong." Xu You and others were naturally very happy, because this was the result of their full support. And the facts show that the influence of our lord has surpassed that in the Han Dynasty.?The emperor Liu Xie is here.
The news that Zhen Yao was proclaimed the duke soon spread throughout Wuji, and the people cheered endlessly, and all families and clans were secretly thinking that the Zhen family in Wuji was really different from the past. There is a prince with a foreign surname in the family, who has been a minister in the family for generations, which is two levels. Therefore, it is not wrong to say that the Zhen family has now replaced the Yuan family and become the first family in the Han Dynasty besides the royal family.
The announcement of Zhen Yao's proclaim also affected the teachers and students in the school. The students were delighted and encouraged when they heard the news. They were also determined to work under Zhen Yao if they succeeded in their studies in the future.
But Kong Rong, Cai Yong and other old guys saw some clues from it. This was something they didn't want to think about in the past. Zhen Yao is proclaimed Duke today, and he may take the final step soon. For those of them who have lived under the rule of the Han Dynasty all their lives, it will definitely be difficult to adapt to it.
Fortunately, everyone is old and does not have the ambition to take care of many things as before. Neither the emperor nor Zhen Yao is within their scope of consideration. When Zhen Yao sent people to the academy two days later to invite these seniors to celebrate together, even Cai Yong rarely gave Zhen Yao face and refused on the grounds that he was studying in the academy.
Proclaiming the king is not a trivial matter. The imperial edict is just the beginning of the ceremony. There are many things to be busy in the next two days. It was not until he officially put on the Zhongshan official uniform made by a dressmaker that Zhen Yao officially became one of the princes of the late Han Dynasty.
Zhen Yao¡¯s celebration banquet was naturally held in the Zhen Mansion Hall. The number of guests at the banquet was not small, and everyone from Wuji¡¯s civil and military officials came. Hu Zhao, Tian Chou and other younger generation lecturers from the academy were also present, as well as the heads of several major families in Wuji City. The hall was filled with guests for a while, and even with the manpower of the Zhen Mansion, they could hardly take care of them.
Zhen Yao entertained guests in the front hall, and in the back garden of Zhen's mansion, Zhang Ying and her daughters were not to be outdone. They held a women's banquet and invited all the familiar female companions, such as his sister-in-law and two other women. Qiao, Mi Zhen, Bing Ling, etc.
Between the Yingying and Yanyan, there are also the playfulness of Zhen Ang and other children. There are many children in the Zhen family now. The only one who is over ten years old is Zhen Ang, but under the age of ten, there are many more than five years old. Zhen Hao , Zhen Tian, ??Zhen Yi, Zhen Feng, Zhen Tu, Zhen Qing, six brothers and sisters. And there are two more children under the age of five: Zhen Ye and Zhen Hong.
Zhen Ye is the second son of Diao Chan, born three years ago, while Zhen Hong is the child of Zhen Mi and Zhen Yao. She was pregnant for nearly eleven months two years ago before giving birth successfully. The two little guys still have some baby fat, sitting next to their mother, waving their little hands, they are really cute.
The Zhen family is happy and harmonious. Da Qiao can't help but show a bit of envy when he sees it in his eyes. She is not young anymore, at most only a few years younger than Zhen Mi, but Zhen Mi has already given birth to an heir, but she is still alone.
Da Qiao, who rarely drinks alcohol, feels sad in his heart, but he drinks by himself a lot more. Her abnormality was noticed by Zhang Ying and the other girls. Zhang Ying and Diao Chan looked at each other, and the latter nodded with a smile, got up and walked towards Da Qiao.
"Sister Qiao Ying, you can't drink any more." Diao Chan came closer, stretched out her hand to cover the spout of the wine bottle in front of Da Qiao, shook her head and said, "How can you use wine to relieve your worries like this? It will hurt your body."
"Let, let me drink." On weekdays, Da Qiao can be said to be mature and decent, with an air of elegance in every move he makes. And now that she was drunk, she was also exuding a charming look. Fortunately, there were only a few little boys around and no adults, otherwise she would definitely be enamored of them.
Diao Chan shook her head and smiled bitterly in her heart. Her husband was indeed guilty of serious sins, causing such a beautiful woman to suffer. I don¡¯t know what he thought. But seeing Da Qiao's appearance, he couldn't help but feel sad. If he had never met his husband, he would probably have lived like this.
¡°That¡¯s all, I¡¯ll help you once, and my husband won¡¯t blame me.¡± Diao Chan seemed to have made up her mind and let Da Qiao get drunk while she walked over to Zhang Ying and Lu Lingqi and whispered to them.
Although Diao Chan's actions seemed unintentional, they could not escape the scrutiny of interested people. At this moment, Mi Zhen seemed to be teasing the children with Xiao Qiao casually, but the corners of her eyes always fell on Diao Chan and the girls. , his eyebrows flashed brightly, as if he thought of something. The wisdom of a talented business woman should not be underestimated.
"Is this possible? If my husband knew about it, he would definitely blame you and me for our nonsense." Zhang Ying is the eldest sister, so she naturally has to manage everything in the backyard. After listening to Diao Chan's suggestion, no matter how much I thought about it, I thought it was nonsense.
"In my opinion, it's feasible." Zhang Ying felt it was inappropriate, but Lu Lingqi said with interest: "My husband has not given any sure word to my sisters, so why should I let them wait like this all their lives?"
Among the wives of Zhen Yao, Cai Yan was considered the most orthodox woman. At this moment, she heard that several sisters were scheming against Zhen Yao, and it was about men and women. She couldn't bear it. She shook her head and said that she would not express her opinion, but I won't tell the truth either.
??Seeing that there were two people supporting her, Zhang Ying turned to Zhen Mi and asked, "Mi'er, my husband loves you the most. Do you think this is feasible?"
Zhen Mi did not answer, but her mind recalled the scene when she wanted to be with Zhen Yao, and Xiao Qiao helped her. After a moment, he nodded slightly: "If you do this, Third Brother will not blame us."
The girls seemed to have discussed it, until it got dark, Zhang Ying did not let anyone send the drunk Da Qiao home, but helped her back to the bed in the main house to rest. However, Xiao Qiao and Mi Zhen said that they could just go back.
"You!" Da Qiao fell asleep in the house, and Zhang Ying and the other girls also went about their business. Two petite figures hid in Zhen Yao's bedroom one after another. The two turned around to meet each other, but they both exclaimed at the same time.
"What, why are you here!" Mi Zhen's eyes widened, looking at Xiao Qiao in front of her with an incredible look.
"I didn't leave, and you didn't do the same!" Xiao Qiao raised her delicate little head and pouted: "I'll take care of my sister, what are you doing here!"
"Hehe, I think you want to take care of other people." Mi Zhen's eyes were darting around when she suddenly heard footsteps outside and quickly pulled Xiao Qiao to hide on the bed. Zhen Yao's bed was meant for sleeping with a large quilt, so it was naturally quite large. The two little girls were hidden on the inside of the bed, and they could still be separated from the sleeping Da Qiao by quite a distance.
The footsteps outside the five rooms were the sounds coming from Zhen Yao, who was returning from the banquet in the front hall, also drunk. Diao Chan helped Zhen Yao open the door and was held in Zhen Yao's arms.
After Zhen Yao hugged the mink near the bed, because there was no light in the house, he couldn't see who the bed couch was, ¡®hey¡¯ and smiled to unravel the gown ¡¯s gown. And this scene happened right in front of the two little girls Mi Zhen.
Zhen Yao was drunk and only had primitive movement instincts left, but Diao Chan was different. She hadn't drunk much, and she clearly heard two more rapid breathing on the bed. Her eyebrows flashed slightly, and she knew in her heart: "These two girls are so brave!" She knew clearly in her heart who the person hiding aside was, but Diao Chan also had the intention not to reveal it, and allowed Zhen Yao to undress and undress her. Then he threw himself on the bed.
