Himihu never thought that the emperor would ask such a question. She widened her eyes and said with some hesitation: "Your Majesty, do you want to marry me? Mr. Cao, Prime Minister of the Three Han Dynasties?"
"It's true. You see, Cao Cao is in Sanhan, very close to your Japanese country. What's more, he is my confidant. Among the three princes of the Han Dynasty, if he has a son, I will allow him to succeed to the throne of the Japanese country. What do you think?
How about it?" The Emperor said with a smile. Although his expression was very gentle, his eyes were staring directly at Himihu's eyes, as if she would suffer the Emperor's thunderous wrath if she was unwilling at all.
Under such circumstances, Himihu could not directly express her inner thoughts. She was unwilling to marry Cao Cao. Did the emperor want to indirectly control herself through marriage and gain control over the Japanese country through future children?
Where is the control? She was thinking anxiously in her heart, but her face showed some shame.
She said: "I don't know if I am a barbarian daughter who is worthy of Duke Cao, or if Duke Cao is unwilling..."
"Oh, how can he be unwilling to speak when I speak?" The emperor said angrily, "You don't have to worry, no one in the world can oppose my will. If he doesn't agree...hehe...
."
The emperor seemed to be angry at Cao Cao and other ministers, but Himihu felt the threat in his words. She laughed, bowed her hands and said, "Thank you for your kindness. I will return to Japan to prepare for the wedding."
..”
"Hey, you are a minister of the Han family. How can the marriage trouble the Japanese country? I will do my best to help you. All you have to do is go to Sanhan and marry Cao Cao..." The emperor ordered enthusiastically, and Bimihu was helpless.
, can only agree.
But Huyi, who came with him, was a little panicked. If Himihu married Cao Cao, then in the future, Cao Cao would probably strongly support Yamatai to unify the Japanese country. Then, where should his own Japanese slave country go?
The emperor could see his thoughts clearly. He smiled and said, "Huyijun, I heard that you have a daughter?"
"Your Majesty! I do have a daughter, who is gentle, virtuous, and extremely intelligent..." Huyi was overjoyed and praised him without sparing any effort, which aroused deep contempt from Himihu on the side. The emperor laughed and said: "I have a son named
An, although he is young, he is very similar to me. I love him very much. I don’t know, maybe it would be good to form a family with you?"
"Your Majesty..." Hu Yi trembled with excitement. This was the prince, the prince of the Han Dynasty, one of the future heirs of the Han Empire. In this way, he became his son-in-law. He knelt down and worshiped in front of the emperor.
, said excitedly: "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty, I will send my eldest daughter here..." The emperor laughed again and said: "My son is still young, so there is no rush."
The two thanked each other three times before leaving the hall.
The emperor sent someone to take them to have a good time in Luoyang, and then returned to the temple and wrote a copy of the edict himself. This edict was written to Cao Cao, but it was not in the emperor's voice, but in the voice of an elder.
The general meaning is that seeing Cao Cao working so hard but having no family, he wanted to marry him, so he should be treated well and not looked down upon.
After sending the letter, he summoned Cao Song. Cao Song had been an official for decades and had been in the position of Dahonglu for a long time. He could not talk about it. During such a long time, he did not perform anything particularly outstanding.
However, he was very obedient. From the time the Emperor came to power, he followed the Emperor closely and never once offended the Emperor.
Therefore, his old colleagues either retired from their posts or died at the hands of Zhang He. But he was the only one who had been promoted to an official position and was moving closer to the position of Taiwei. In the eyes of the emperor, he was still a
Smart ministers like this are also needed in the temple. When summoned by the emperor, he hurried over and appeared in front of the emperor in less than half an hour.
The emperor kindly pulled him in front of him, sat facing him, and told him about Himihu. Cao Song was not unhappy at all. He understood that the emperor was not just a simple marriage promise, he had more.
Intention, if Cao Cao can achieve his intention for the emperor, he will only feel happy. Cao Cao is now the most outstanding son in the entire Cao family.
He had previously wanted some other Cao family members to go to Cao Cao and work for him, but Cao Cao had always refused. Cao Cao believed that the position he held was very special, called the Prime Minister of Three Hans, but in fact he was responsible for the entire Sanhan region.
They all have the power of jurisdiction and governance. If he can't wait to get close to his subordinates at this moment, he is afraid that he will not be able to sit in this position.
Therefore, after hearing the emperor's edict, Cao Song felt happy. The emperor could make Cao Cao his confidant. If he wanted to arrange for Cao's children in the future, the emperor would not be too afraid or disgusted. Seeing him look so happy
, it seemed that there was no lie, so the emperor settled the matter in this way and sent him away.
Himihu and others stayed in Luoyang for another six or seven days before setting off to return. Huyi was going directly back to the Japanese country, while Himihu was going to Sanhan to meet Cao Cao, because the Han Dynasty was ready to help the two countries.
The surrounding countries were integrated, and the boundaries had to be agreed upon by the two of them. Himihu was left in Sanhan, while Huyi was able to go back earlier, which was very beneficial to the Wonu country.
The emperor found a seat and placed it outside the main hall, with a blazing light above his head. Song Dian wanted to invite the palace maid holding the umbrella, but the emperor refused. He enjoyed the gentle sunshine very much, as if his cold heart was also shining on it.
The sky gradually became warmer, and the emperor did nothing for the whole day. He just sat outside the hall and rested quietly.
Gradually, in the evening, the sun slowly set, leaving only the lingering halo, and the sky was dyed red. The emperor breathed deeply, looking at the sun, Song Dian stood not far away, with his head lowered,
There was no one else around.
The emperor trembled, stood up slowly, and glared at the sun that was about to set.
"Stop it!!!!!!"
He roared suddenly, and Song Dian was shocked. He raised his head and saw the setting sun pointed by the emperor. He shouted loudly. As the emperor roared, the soldiers stationed around him rushed in, holding spears and surrounding them.
He stood up, but the emperor's hand pointing at the sun was still trembling, but the sun was setting a little bit. The emperor roared: "I told you not to fall!!!!"
Song Dian repelled the soldiers who came and walked slowly behind the emperor. The emperor stared at the setting sun, tears overflowing from the corners of his eyes. Song Dian lowered his head and said: "Your Majesty, the sun rises and sets, Tao Ye, sets today.
From tomorrow..."
The big fat man was trembling, his tears disappeared. He sighed, turned around and walked towards the main hall. Song Dian followed closely behind him. When the big fat man returned to the main hall, he began to read memorials from various places.
Song Dian kept writing something, and Song Dian didn't dare to ask any more questions. What he just said was actually a bit treasonous, but he had followed the emperor for more than 20 years, and he really couldn't bear to see the emperor being so lonely.
The big fat man was thinking seriously. He was writing a memorial about the Prince Association. He was going to give Chen Liu a seal to Liu Xie and send him to Chen Liu. This was to prevent some problems in the future. He knew in his heart that now Liu Xie was still very young, and logically speaking, he could not be sent to the fiefdom. However, he had no choice but to go. Even though he knew that the Queen and the Queen Mother would strongly disagree, he still had to go.
As for Liu An, he doesn't have to be in such a hurry to go to his fiefdom. What's more, the big fat man has other arrangements for him. Liu An will marry the daughter of Huyi, and he will have legal authority over the Japanese area in the future. So, he can be granted the title of fiefdom. It is most suitable to be the king of Japan. In the future, Japan can also become one of the territories of the Han Dynasty. However, he is in no hurry to do so.
Now that Himihu and the other countries have not been able to pacify them, if they rush to make Liu An the king, they will definitely cause a backlash from the countries. The Japanese country does not border the Han Dynasty, so it is difficult to suppress them all with just five thousand soldiers. Live, the emperor thought anxiously. In addition, the prince's marriage to Cai Yong's daughter must be completed as soon as possible. In this way, the prince will also have Cai Yong's support in the temple in the future.
He quickly wrote on the paper, the names of the three ministers and the nine ministers appeared on the paper one by one. Cai Yong had arranged it, and the other one was Zhang He. Although Zhang He was not an important minister in the court, he controlled the The messenger in embroidered clothes, the emperor's eyes and ears, this guy must be firmly controlled by Bian'er, otherwise it will definitely be a big trouble. He is too comfortable now, and this won't work.
Although Wang Fu is arrogant, he is unpopular. As a Situ, he will not pose any threat to Bian'er.
As for Yuan Feng, his eldest son Yuan Shu has a very good relationship with the prince, and he does not need to consider it. Zhang Wen holds military power, but is too old. He must remain in the position of Taiwei for now. A man who can The controlled Taiwei is indispensable. Sun Jian must rely on Dong Zhuo, Zhang Wen, and Yuan Shu to punish him.
The emperor was thinking crazily, his face turned red, he raised his head and took a deep breath. Then he asked Song Dian to find Wang Fu and said, "I want to make the prince Xie King Chenliu. You can send someone to escort him." Arrive in his country, arrange a place to live, and then return to Luoyang after the arrangements are complete..." Wang Fu was stunned for a moment, nodded, and left in a hurry, wrote the edict, and went to find Liu Xie again.
Later, the emperor hurriedly summoned Yuan Feng. When Yuan Feng arrived, he saw that the emperor's face was extremely pale and sweat was dripping from his forehead. He was shocked and quickly knelt down in front of the emperor. The emperor smiled. He smiled and said: "Mr. Yuan, to tell you the truth, I really hate this big family. You control the world's officials, and I feel uneasy..."
"However, Mr. Yuan is different from them. The only son of an aristocratic family that I can trust and consider as my confidant is Mr. Yuan. My eldest son is young after all, but he has been taught by Master He, Jia Xu, Xun You, and Wang Fu. , now he is able to act as one, but Mr. Yuan still needs more support..."
"Your Majesty..." Yuan Feng burst into tears and said, "Your Majesty, please don't speak like that. By the time the prince ascends the throne, the old minister will already be gone..."
"Mr. Yuan, it's sunset... Hahaha, it doesn't have to be like this..." The big fat man laughed. He dismissed the surrounding Huangmen and hurriedly explained something to Yuan Feng. Yuan Feng would The emperor firmly remembered what he told him, and he handed over his hands and said: "I will not disappoint your majesty..."
In just one day, the emperor summoned many ministers and explained many, many things.
"Liu Hong!"
Suddenly someone shouted the big fat man's name. The big fat man raised his head with some difficulty, but it was the Queen Mother who rushed in with a cane. She was extremely angry, gritting her teeth, he raised the cane and said angrily: "Xie'er He’s only eight years old!! Why did you drive him out of the palace!!”
"He is still such a young child. He can live in Chenliu by himself. When I am old, he and An'er are the only ones by my side. Do you want to piss me off to death?! He is your child. Don’t you feel any distress at all? Are you just going to drive a child so far away like this?!"
The emperor turned his head and said nothing. The yellow gates around him did not dare to stay. He hurried out and stood guard at the door. The queen was coming in from the outside. She had obviously cried a lot just now. Her eyes were red and swollen. Her hands were He was holding Liu Xie, who was just seven years old this year, and walked in with some fear. He was not in good health since birth, and he looked very frail at this moment.
The queen hurriedly stepped forward and stopped the queen mother. She was crying but could not speak. Xiao Liu Xie wiped his tears and said: "My son, come here and say goodbye to my father..."
"...Hmm...Hmm...Hmm..." The emperor sat on the bed, lowered his head, and just hummed a few times. His appearance made the Queen Mother even more angry, and she cursed again. , Liu Xie wiped away his tears, the fat man slowly raised his head and said: "Xie'er, come..."
Liu Xie sobbed and walked to the big fat man's side. The big fat man hugged him suddenly, hugged him tightly, and whispered in his ear: "Xie'er, don't blame my father. My father is very sad." I love you..." He released Liu Xie again, looked at the yellow door at the door, and said coldly: "Take King Chenliu down, make good preparations, and rush to Chenliu. There is no need to return to Luo within a year. !”
"According to the order!" Huangmen stepped forward and took Liu Xie out. Liu Xie cried loudly, but there was nothing he could do. The Queen Mother looked at the Emperor fiercely, turned around and walked out. Queen Song was also crying and looked at In front of her, there was suddenly a strange emperor who said goodbye: "I am not feeling well, so I will take my leave now..." She did not listen to the emperor's plea to stay, so she turned around and returned to the palace.
The big fat man is sitting alone in this hall, just like when he was transferred to Luoyang twenty-one years ago. At that time, he was also alone. He stayed here with a calm face and asked Song Dian to lead Huangmen. He stepped back, took off his shoes, and got on the bed.
"Ah~~My Xie'er, my Xie'er~~"
Lying on the bed, the big fat man cried loudly. He was reluctant to leave. Thinking of Liu Xie's aggrieved and weak figure just now, he felt a heartbreaking pain in his heart. The big fat man recited Liu Xie's name and covered his chest. Howling loudly.
When Princess Raoyang was brought to the main hall by the palace maid, the big fat man slowly opened his eyes, his face was extremely calm, and there was nothing strange about him. He picked up the little Princess Raoyang, looked at Huangmen, and said: " Tonight, I am hosting a banquet in Qiongyuan. The Queen Mother, Empress, and Prince must come! You must come!"
These little yellow sects have all been living in fear recently. After receiving the order, they immediately carried it out.
The queen was still easy to talk to. After Huang Men's painful plea, she agreed to the emperor's invitation. However, the queen mother was still angry and did not want to come at all. Song Dian came forward and said: "The queen mother... I see that your majesty is very unwell." ...I have been feeling tightness in my chest and heartache recently..."
The Queen Mother just arrived. Of course, the little fat man had no right to object. He couldn't bear it when he heard about Liu Xie. Liu Xie was his brother from the same mother. Liu An hadn't left yet. Why did I
The younger brother was about to leave, thinking that he would plead with the emperor later, so he hurried over. When they all arrived, the emperor was sitting on the throne, waiting for them.
They all took their seats, and the Queen Mother was surprised.
On the document, it is still a fish being cooked.
However, the chopsticks were only in front of the big fat man, not in front of the other people.
Without saying a word, the fat man slowly picked up a piece of fish and looked at the people around him. The prince hadn't figured out the situation yet. The queen mother was trembling in her heart. The queen seemed to understand something. The emperor put the fish in the prince's bowl.
He frowned and said, "Eat!"
The little fat man was stunned for a moment and said: "Father, you haven't eaten yet, let alone my aunt and grandma..."
"I told you to eat!"
The little fat man reluctantly picked up the fish and took a small bite.
"You are the only one in the world who can eat this fish. None of them can!"
The big fat man said coldly.
The little fat man trembled all over and looked straight at his father in front of him. The Emperor turned his head and looked at the Queen Mother and the Empress. His face was pale and his whole body was trembling. He said: "In two days, I will marry the daughter of the Cai family for the Emperor.
!”
"According to the decree!" the queen said immediately.
The Queen Mother looked at the big fat man hesitantly, and said worriedly: "Hong'er, are you okay?"
