The emperor was sitting in the Hall of Houde, reviewing the newly delivered memorial from Cao Cao. He was still a little hesitant. Han Men hurriedly walked into the Hall of Houde and reported: "Country! I, General Lu of Jin, want to see you!"
The emperor was stunned, Lu Bu?
Recently, the emperor has been busy formulating new decrees with Cao Cao, and is not very clear about external things. Naturally, he does not know about Liu Mastiff's affairs. There are more and more people in Luoyang, and Lu Bu is becoming more and more confused.
Busy, during this period of time, Zhijinwu's camp almost never stopped. He went out day and night. Could it be that something big happened in Luoyang? The emperor thought about it, his expression became grim, and he said: "Let him come over!"
Han Men hurriedly walked out, and not long after, a menacing Lu Bu followed Han Men in.
Lu Bu frowned, looking extremely unhappy. The emperor raised his head, looked at him, and motioned for him to sit down. When Lu Bu sat down, the emperor asked: "Why does Fengxian look like this? Luoyang Nei is not the best."
What's the big deal??" Lu Bu shook his head and said, "It's still a matter for His Highness the Crown Prince. If Your Majesty doesn't make the decision for me, I will resign and go home and never serve in an official position!"
Lu Bu said such heavy words, but the emperor felt relieved. As long as nothing happened in Luoyang, that boy's ability to get into trouble is definitely not as good as his own. Anyway, he can't get into anything big.
The trouble is, I'm afraid it's still a matter between children, but the emperor still can't show that he doesn't care. After all, he still relies on Lu Bu in front of him, and many matters in the Luoyang area are entrusted to him.
of.
"Oh? What did Shuzi do again?"
"Today, His Royal Highness the Prince rode into Zhijinwu's camp and snatched away his daughter."
"What did you say??? Mastiff??" The emperor's eyes widened, and he asked in disbelief: "Can he snatch your daughter away in front of General Lu?" Lu Bu looked unhappy and said, "If it were someone else,
, of course not, but His Highness the Crown Prince is like this, what can I do?"
"I" the emperor was also speechless. He was stunned for a long time, and then he said: "I will definitely make the decision for the general."
"Your Majesty, even if your Majesty punishes the prince severely, the reputation of our daughter has been humiliated. How will she get married in the future?" Lu Bu asked displeasedly. The emperor understood what he meant. He thought for a moment and said: "Then I can do it for you.
He marries your daughter-in-law, I wonder what General Lu wants?"
"Hahaha, okay."
Hey, you are quite happy???
After sending Lu Bu away, the emperor covered his head and rushed to the queen. The queen was accompanying Princess Changling. After the emperor arrived, unlike usual, he did not tease the little princess, and asked the maid to take the princess away and sit on the queen's bed.
In front of her, seeing that the emperor was restless, the queen was also a little worried. She frowned and asked: "Your Majesty, what's wrong? But what happened?"
"Oh, you have raised a good son. He dares to steal other people's daughters."
"Ah? Mastiff?? Whose daughter did he steal?"
"The daughter of Lu Bu, who holds Jin Wu, is now entangled with me. I can only marry this girl for my son." The emperor rubbed his forehead and said with some complaints: "It's all your fault. Usually I want to teach this kid a lesson, but you always
Stop him, now it’s better. With his wings stiffened, he robs the women of the people, how will the people of the world treat him? How can I safely hand the world into his hands? If you hadn’t stopped me at ordinary times, you would have
There is no such thing as today!!”
Listening to the emperor's complaints, the queen was a little dissatisfied. She glanced at the emperor and said: "Weren't you planning to rob me at the beginning? Didn't Emperor Xiaokang still leave the world in your hands? The eldest son, Leifu, you still have Do you blame me for losing face?"
"Ahem, cough, cough, can this be the same thing? I am different from him."
"What's the difference? I used to think that the grandfather of mastiffs can always see the shadow of Emperor Xiaokang in him, but I just learned today that he is still your nature at heart. Emperor Xiaokang will definitely do this. "You can't come out," the queen said. The emperor smiled and said, "Yes, this Zhuzi does still look like me. He did it simply. Lu Bu was forced to look like this, hahaha!!"
He laughed for a moment, then suddenly stopped, shook his head, and said: "No, what he did was still wrong. Although the father of the girl he was looking for was also a loyal and kind man, I don't know what her specific character was. If she were to marry, then She is the future queen. This matter cannot be decided easily. This prince directly drove me to a dead end. If she is arrogant and fierce, how will she be able to govern the world in the future?"
"Your Majesty," the queen looked at him tenderly, held his hand, and said, "Don't worry, I will go and have a look. I think the mastiff's eyes will never see the wrong person. He looks very much like him." His father can recognize people, not to mention they are still young. Even if there is something wrong with their character, your majesty can change it, so don’t worry."
"Yeah, that makes sense."
The emperor nodded, and for some reason, he suddenly lamented. He looked at the queen in front of him, smiled, and said: "I still have some things to do, so I'll go and do it first. It's up to you to do this yourself, Mastiff." He is still young, so we can't let him be deceived." He said, pursed his lips, turned around and left. The queen looked at him with some worry. The emperor seemed to have something wrong. It seemed that he still had to ask the imperial doctor to check again. It's been a while.
The emperor walked out of the palace, asked Han Men to prepare a carriage, and left the palace secretly.
Liu Mastiff, on the other hand, was still with Lu Ji. He went out to look for their guards and found them by the river. There was no fear on Liu Mastiff's face, but Lu Ji was hesitant. She still wanted to go back to see her father. Yes, how could she have the face to see her father now? Perhaps seeing her worries, Liu Mastiff looked at the guards around him and said, "I won't go back for the time being. You follow me, I'm going to hold Jin Wu Camp!"
He stretched out his hand, took Lu Ji's hand, asked her to get on the horse, looked at her, and said with a smile: "I am responsible for everything."
For some reason, Lu Ji immediately calmed down, no longer panicked, and nodded.
The two of them rushed all the way to the Zhijinwu Camp, with the guards following them in a mighty manner. When they arrived at the Zhijinwu Camp, Lu Ji's heart could not help but tremble. She He lowered his head and didn't even dare to look at the soldiers at the door. The soldiers in charge of Jinwu's camp also looked at Liu Mastiff and Lu Ji strangely. Without saying anything, they quickly went in to report. It didn't take long for the soldiers to appear again. Let two people go in.
The guards stood guard at the door and did not enter together.
Liu Mastiff led Lu Ji to the tent door step by step. He took a deep breath and ran into the tent.
"Mom??"
"Mom??"
The two of them shouted in unison, there was not only one Lu Bu in the camp, there were many people in the camp, including the queen, Lu Ji's mother Yan, Huangmen, and Zong Zheng. Of course, Lu Bu was also there, watching. Liu Mastiff was also stunned by this situation and could not speak. The queen smiled, looked at Lu Ji beside him, waved her hand and said: "Lu Ji, come on, come to me!"
Lu Ji already understood her identity. She lowered her head and blushed, but she still walked to her side. The queen pulled her and asked her to sit next to her. She smiled and said, "You are so pretty."
", Lu Ji still lowered her head and couldn't even say the words of greeting. The queen kept talking to her, and Yan was also looking at Liu Mastiff in front of her.
Mrs. Yan is very satisfied that Liu Mastiff can bring Lu Ji here.
Perhaps the only one who was a little angry was Lu Bu. Lu Bu's face was gloomy, his brows were furrowed and he was speechless.
Yan called Liu Mastiff over and asked some questions, while Zongzheng and Liu Biao were chatting with Lu Bu. They seemed to be discussing the wedding date. Standing in front of Yan, Liu Mastiff was still a little scared. It was better than standing in front of Yan.
Lu Bu was even more frightened in front of him, and he didn't know why he was like this. He kept answering Yan's words, and his answers were appropriate. Yan asked him what books he had read, and what he liked in daily life.
"Your Highness, don't be afraid. Although your father-in-law looks a bit fierce, he is still a very gentle person. He is also very satisfied with Your Highness."
"Yeah." Liu Mastiff nodded. With Yan's encouragement, he walked up to Lu Bu. Looking at Lu Bu in front of him, he said nervously: "My son-in-law pays homage to my father-in-law!" If it weren't for the fact that there were still people in the camp.
With the queen here, Lu Bu was afraid that he would jump up and beat him. Lu Bu was extremely angry and his face turned red, but he still nodded. He stood up and said, "Come with me."
With that said, he walked out of the camp. Liu Mastiff took a deep breath again and followed him.
The two of them walked outside the camp, and Lu Bu did not turn around. He led him all the way and said, "I don't have any heirs. You may not know that even though you have a daughter like Lu Ji, the emperor has already betrothed Lu Ji to you."
I don’t care whether you are the prince or the emperor. Since you want to marry Lu Ji, you must take good care of her and treat her well throughout your life. If you dare to bully her and make her shed a single tear, I will tear you alive."
Liu Mastiff trembled all over, nodded quickly and said, "My son-in-law understands."
"Don't call yourself that!! You're not married yet!!"
"Here you go!"
Everyone was talking here, and the Emperor had already appeared in the ancestral temple in Luoyang.
Walking into the ancestral temple, we first worshiped the ancestors everywhere, and finally walked to the tomb of Emperor Xiaokang.
After shouting at everyone, the fat man sat down and looked at his father's memorial tablet with some confusion.
"Unknowingly, in the 21st year of Xiping's reign, I, like my father, have been the emperor for twenty years. I miss you so much. My son has grown up and is already preparing for marriage. I am also old.
Well, when I was young, I was so ignorant that I didn’t know your painstaking efforts. Now, your son has reached your age of thirty-seven years, four years older than my father." The big fat man said and laughed softly.
.
"I have always wanted to catch up with you, not to prove how good I am, I just don't want to disappoint you. I hope that when I pass away, I can raise my head to see you."
"Twenty-one years, what have I accomplished?"
"The people are still poor, the cultivated land is still insufficient, and the rich families are still strong. I have implemented new policies, carried out benevolent policies, attacked all directions, built roads, water conservancy, and established official schools. I have been tested, but I still can't get out. You can do these things better than me.
I have become so much stronger and I am getting older. I am starting to be afraid of the cold. Every time I eat, I always feel nauseous and vomiting. I have constant headaches at night. I don’t know how many years I have left.”
"Father, believe me, I will not do worse than you in my lifetime. I will make the prosperous age you leave behind even more brilliant."
