Zhuge Liang was taken out of the palace by the Yellow Gate and sent all the way to the gate.
The guard at the door was a little puzzled. This guy was forced in by the Huangmen just now. Why are these little Huangmen now, for some unknown reason, humbly bending down and respectful to Zhuge Liang? Their attitude was completely different from that of just now.
Different, this guy was valued by the emperor and became a minister?
Zhuge Liang was sent outside the palace. He was still a little confused and annoyed. Did he agree a little too quickly just now? His Majesty just roared, and he was so frightened that he quickly agreed. Alas, it is really embarrassing. He should be a little more literary.
It's only right to be arrogant, Zhuge Liang, Zhuge Liang, you claim to be a genius like Guan Zhongleyi, how can you be frightened by the emperor?
In this confusion, Zhuge Liang returned to Yuan Mansion.
Liu Mastiff and Sima Yi were talking in the front yard, also waiting for him. Seeing him walking in in despair, Liu Mastiff quickly asked: "Kong Ming? But what happened to Mr. Liu??"
Zhuge Liang shook his head blankly and said, "Well done, Master."
"What happened to your family?"
“No problem at home”
At this time, Liu Mastiff fell silent. Sima Yi on the side smiled and asked with interest: "Then why are you so upset?"
Zhuge Liang glared at him, looked at Liu Mastiff, thought for a long time, and said slowly: "Your Highness, Your Majesty wants to betroth the eldest princess to me."
"Oh??" Liu Mastiff nodded first, then woke up and jumped up suddenly. He looked at Zhuge Liang in disbelief, dumbfounded, "You want to marry my aunt??"
"Hahahaha! It's a good thing, it's a good thing! The eldest princess of the Han Dynasty, okay, Kong Ming, it's a great blessing for you, but be careful, don't make her unhappy, and listen to the eldest princess's words more." Sima Yi laughed.
Yuan Shu was studying in the study. Suddenly there was a noise outside, which startled Yuan Shu. He frowned and looked outside the door. A soldier hurriedly walked into the study. Yuan Shu was displeased.
asked: "What happened outside?"
"We didn't know that just now, Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi suddenly started fighting. Now they are still fighting together. Do you want us to separate?"
"The two of them started fighting??" Yuan Shu was stunned and asked, "Who made the first move?"
"Zhuge Liang"
"Hahaha, okay, okay, don't pay attention to them. Treat the rams every day and beat them occasionally. It's normal!" Yuan Shu said, looking quite happy. The soldiers nodded and went out.
Outside the door, Liu Mastiff looked at the two people wrestling on the ground and shouted anxiously, but he couldn't pull them away. Liu Mastiff quickly asked the guards to step forward and separate them, but the guards could not force them apart.
They, therefore, still couldn't solve the matter. While the two were fighting, Hua Xiong walked into the courtyard. Looking at the two people fighting in the front yard, Hua Xiong's eyes lit up.
"Kong Ming, you can't do it, just hit him in the eye, yes, that's it!"
"Hey, Zhongda, luckily you are one year older than Kong Ming, why are you so weak? Oh, yes, hit him in the abdomen!"
Hua Xiong just said a few words, and the two men actually let go of each other, stood up, and looked at Hua Xiong with a rather unkind look. Hua Xiong suddenly became anxious, waved his hand, and said: "Keep fighting, why did you stop?
, I just watched it for a moment, fight!"
"Huh!" Both of them looked at Hua Xiong with disdain, said goodbye to Liu Mastiff, and left.
Watching the two of them leave, Hua Xiong still felt a little regretful. Liu Mastiff walked up to Hua Xiong and said with a smile: "Uncle is still smart. With a few words, he stopped them fighting."
Hua Xiong was stunned, nodded, and said, "That's how easy it is to separate them."
The Emperor wrote a letter to Zhuge Liang's family, his uncle, Zhuge Xuan. The Zhuge family belongs to the Langya clan. His ancestor was Zhuge Feng, the captain of the Sili School of the Western Han Dynasty. He was a famous minister. He was smart and good at reading since he was a child. However,
, Zhuge Xuan's lineage is not strong, and he is not a direct descendant. It is impossible to concentrate on his studies. At this time, he got help from his cousin Zhuge Gui.
Zhuge Gui was also a man of great talent. When he was less than twenty years old, he promoted Xiaolian and became the magistrate of Taishan County. After seeing his smart cousin, he took him over and gave him to him as a gift.
Zhuge Xuan was very grateful for his many books and personal teachings. However, before Zhuge Xuan entered his official career, Zhuge Gui passed away, leaving behind three sons.
The eldest son Zhuge Jin was calm and precocious, raising his mother and handling household affairs. However, he was unable to take care of his two younger brothers. After all, he himself was only fifteen years old, so Zhuge Xuan took Zhuge Liang and Zhuge Jun over.
He treated her as his own child and raised her well. He even never married and personally taught his two cousins to read and write.
Later, after Zhuge Liang passed the examination, Zhuge Xuan spent a lot of money to send Zhuge Liang to Luoyang and attend Taixue.
In short, when Zhuge Xuan received the letter from the emperor, he was stunned for a long time. He was so excited that he couldn't express it. He sat in the study, read the letter from the emperor over and over again, and laughed. The servants at the door were all impressed by him.
Startled, Zhuge Xuan couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart. He quickly called his servant and asked him to inform the thief Cao Zhuge Jin to come and see him!
Zhuge Jin is taking up a job under him.
Zhuge Jin heard his uncle's call and rushed to the prefect's mansion. As soon as he walked into the mansion, he saw his uncle in front of him. The uncle smiled, took his hand, and walked towards the study. Zhuge Jin was puzzled, wondering why his uncle would do this.
So excited, he rushed to the study room, Zhuge Xuan handed him the letter and said: "Look, Erlang is going to marry the eldest daughter of Emperor Xiaokang!"
Zhuge Jin lowered his head and read the letter carefully. When he was just fifteen years old, his father left and his mother also fell ill. At a young age, he was supporting a family by himself, which made him compare to
Zhuge Liang, who was more calm and precocious, did not look like a young man at all. After reading it carefully, Zhuge Jun nodded and said: "This is a good thing."
"Hahaha, of course it's a good thing, call Sanlang, we are going to Luoyang!!"
They set off for Luoyang, and another letter was destined for Jiaozhou. However, due to the long distance, this letter was still on the way and did not reach Liu Mo's hands.
Today's weddings still have to follow six etiquettes. These six etiquettes are to accept, ask for names, accept, accept, ask for dates, and personally welcome. The first is the stage of accepting and asking for names. This stage is to let people
The principals of both parties meet and jointly decide whether the marriage is possible. After that, the man will bring the woman's name and birth date for divination to see if the marriage is suitable.
After that, the auspicious day for the wedding is chosen, and then the man personally marries the bride and invites relatives and friends.
In July of the thirteenth year of Xiping, Zhuge Xuan rushed to Luoyang with his two nephews.
Zhuge Liang had been waiting at the city gate early. Next to him, there were two people and a group of soldiers standing. These were naturally Liu Mastiff and Sima Yi. Zhuge Liang was very grateful that Liu Mastiff could come and wait with him.
As for Sima Yi, why did this fellow also come?
"Kong Ming, if you don't cough up, uncle, wait for the relatives to come. If you don't go to Yuan Mansion, there are many houses in Yuan Mansion, and Master will not object," Liu Mastiff said in a low voice.
Zhuge Liang pursed his lips. Hearing Liu Mastiff's name, he was speechless. He said helplessly: "It's better not to trouble Mr. Yuan, just go to the Liu Mansion."
"I will obey my uncle's words."
"Your Highness, please call me Kong Ming."
"Hey, since ancient times, etiquette cannot be abolished. Zhuge Prince Consort, please don't talk like this anymore," Sima Yi said with a smile.
A few people were chatting when they saw two carriages driving in the distance. Zhuge Liang quickly looked over, the carriage stopped, and a total of three people got out of the carriage. The youngest boy saw Zhuge Liang,
He called out "brother" and ran towards him. Zhuge Liang stepped forward, grabbed Zhuge Jun's hand, looked up and down, and said: "Sanlang, you have grown up, you have grown up."
Later, he met with Zhuge Xuan and Zhuge Jin one by one.
Zhuge Jin was fine, and his emotions could not be seen. However, Zhuge Xuan was different. He held Zhuge Liang's hand and was so excited that he almost cried. After they finished their greetings, Liu Mastiff, who was not far away, came over.
He bowed to the eldest man and said, "Liu Mastiff pays homage to Uncle Zhuge!"
The man's face twitched and he was speechless.
Zhuge Liang coughed and said, "That's my eldest brother, and this is my uncle."
Liu Mastiff's face turned red, and he quickly bowed to Zhuge Jin and said, "Please forgive me!!"
Zhuge Liang said: "This is His Royal Highness, the eldest son of the emperor. Your Highness and I studied together with Mr. Yuan. Your Highness Xin Ren, he has been taking care of me these years."
"That one is the emperor's companion."
After Zhuge Liang introduced the two of them, everyone did not dare to be rude and hurriedly paid homage to the eldest son of the emperor. Liu Mastiff helped them up and did not dare to accept the courtesy. Only Sima Yi stood at the back in a dull manner. The most hateful thing was that Zhuge Jun also threw some
The package was handed to him, saying that His Highness and Zhuge Liang could not be accommodated in the carriage, so he could only let him hold it.
They first went to Liu Mo's mansion. Of course, Liu Mastiff brought Sima Yi into the carriage. When they arrived at Liu's mansion, Liu Mastiff and Sima Yi excused themselves and left, not wanting to disturb their family reunion. The next day, Zhuge Liang took
Zhuge Xuan and Zhuge Jin went to the palace. Zhuge Xuan is now the head of the Zhuge family, and Zhuge Jin is the eldest brother, who is like his father.
Even if the emperor was particularly dissatisfied with Zhuge Liang, he did not show it in front of his relatives. After they entered the palace, the emperor cordially took Zhuge Jin's hand, asked about the situation in Yuzhang County, and asked him about supporting his cousin's children.
, full of praise.
It was not until Zhuge Liang introduced the two of them that the emperor let go of Zhuge Jin's hand in embarrassment and smiled without saying a word.
The matter was discussed very successfully. The emperor wanted to betrothed, and the Zhuge family had no right to object. As for the divination, it was just a formality. It was auspicious, the two were a perfect match, and the date was set on the eighth day of the month.
End of month.
Zhuge Xuan hurriedly prepared property for Zhuge Liang in Luoyang, notified his friends and relatives, and made preparations for the wedding.
On the day of the wedding, the whole of Luoyang was extremely lively. Most of the officials participated in the wedding as guests, and the emperor also attended in person, sitting on the top, greeting many guests. Zhuge Xuan sat next to the emperor.
I was so excited that it was difficult to express it. There were rituals and music everywhere, and the guests were enjoying themselves. This wedding was quite grand.
The queen personally took care of it, hundreds of officials came, and the guards guarded it. Even Zhuge Jin, who was serious about his words, smiled broadly.
However, there was still one person missing at the wedding. Zhuge Liang looked around at the banquet, but he couldn't see that person.
After the letter arrived in Jiaozhou, the postman hurriedly sent it to the governor's mansion. When the postman arrived at the mansion, Liu Mo was not in the mansion. The helpless postman could only look around. Finally, in a mountain forest in Yinglou County, he
I found Liu Mo, the governor. At this moment, he didn't look like a governor at all. He rolled up his trouser legs, stood in the mud, and carried a hoe on his back.
He is diverting water into the fields and leading the county officials to be busy.
After seeing the letter, Liu Mo smiled very happily. He jumped up like a child and shouted loudly, "My disciple is getting married!! Hahaha, he is getting married!!!"
With crystal tears shining in the corners of his eyes, he listened to everyone's congratulations.
However, he could not come in person.
When the wedding was coming to an end, the queen suddenly discovered that the emperor was missing!
The emperor, who was sitting on the throne, chatting with the ministers and beaming with joy, unexpectedly disappeared.
The Queen walked towards the backyard without disturbing others. Sure enough, there were several small yellow gates guarding the door of the backyard.
After entering the courtyard, he opened the door and walked in.
The emperor was sitting on his knees in front of the document, holding his forehead with both hands, sobbing softly.
