I preached in the Six Dynasties

Chapter 810 Extravagant
Li Yu didn't want to get involved in the royal entanglements of the Great Wei. He glanced at Wang Lang and Princess Qinghe, and said goodbye, "Poverty Dao still has something to do, so I'm sorry."

Princess Qinghe invited: "If the Taoist priest doesn't dislike it, why don't we chat and prepare wine and dishes at the son-in-law's mansion tonight, and invite the Taoist priest to a banquet."

It's very interesting to ask this question, if I don't go, then it's disgusting.

Li Yu smiled wryly and said, "In that case, there's trouble over there."

Princess Qinghe smiled and said: "That's good, our husband and wife swept the couch to greet each other, and everyone please come together."

It is naturally good to have a good relationship with Princess Consort, Wang Lang and the others did not object, and nodded with a smile.

In fact, Wang Lang's character is still very good.

He often ridicules those in the secular world who have the reputation of being charitable but don't care about the poor, so he often uses his own property to help others in need.

Cao Pi said to him: These three men are great men of a generation, and it will be difficult for future generations to succeed!

Cao Zhi said of him: He is distinguished from Broadcom, and he is celebrated when he sees it.Virtue and solidity are stuffed inside, knowledge and strategy are everywhere.Wang Situ is also the one who resolves doubts, relieves stagnation, and breaks up cross-examination.

Brothers Cao Pi and Cao Zhi both spoke highly of him, and to be praised by these two brothers together is an anomaly in Wei.

It's just that he has good moral character, but he is indeed lacking in the strategy of governing the country, so Zhuge Liang once used it as a negative example to refute those who opposed the Northern Expedition: Liu Yao and Wang Lang each occupied the prefectures and counties, talked about safe words, moved saints, The crowd is full of doubts, and the hearts of the crowd are full of difficulties. They will not fight this year and will not conquer next year. This makes Sun Ce a big man, and he merges with Jiangdong.

Li Yu doesn't care about these things. What he wants now is no war this year, no conquest next year, so that the six dynasties can maintain a peaceful state, at least the human race should have superficial unity.

After Li Yu walked out, Princess Qinghe looked at his back and suddenly laughed.This smile is actually a little wretched.

"You tricked me into marrying Xia Houmao, right?" Princess Qinghe muttered in her heart, "I'll give you a big gift too!"

Walking out of the academy, Li Yu wanted to go back to the Taoist temple where he was temporarily staying, when he suddenly saw a familiar figure.

He stopped in his tracks, and just watched a few more times, the man keenly sensed that something was wrong, and turned his head suddenly, his eyes were very cold.

After seeing that it was Li Yu, he laughed, and his demeanor changed accordingly, "Master Daoist, I never expected to meet you here."

Li Yu asked: "Shi Xiu, where are you going?"

"Brother Gongming entrusted me to do something in Xudu."

"Oh." Li Yu didn't want to ask too much, so he stepped forward and said, "Is everything done?"

"almost!"

Shi Xiu didn't ask Li Yulai what he was doing, he was very stable and never talked too much.

Li Yu has always liked Shi Xiu very much, so he took extra care of him. Shi Xiu is also a delicate person, so he can naturally feel it.

He is a person who has received kindness from others, and he will not put it on his lips, but as long as you need it, he will repay it sooner or later.

Shi Xiu met Li Yu in such a far place and was in a good mood. Li Yu asked, "Since you are almost done with your work, why don't you go to the banquet with me tonight."

Shi Xiu glanced at herself, and said straightforwardly: "As long as the Taoist priest doesn't dislike it, that's fine."

"Hahaha." Li Yu patted him on the shoulder, "It's fine if we brothers don't dislike others, but are you afraid of being disliked?"

Li Yu took Shi Xiu to the Taoist temple, and asked as he walked, "Is everything okay at Zhengjingmen?"

"After the Taoist chief left, Zhu Wu restarted the Hero Club, and this year there are more people."

With a smile on the corner of Li Yu's mouth, he knew that human beings are not afraid of high pressure.Wherever there is oppression, there is always resistance. You expect all surnames in the world to be bullied like dogs and sheep, unless you wipe out the Central Plains people.

As long as this world is not dominated by monotheism, people are invincible.

As long as you ignite a spark yourself, you can stimulate the infinite potential of the world.

"It's another year of the Heroes Meeting!" Li Yu sighed, time passed too slowly, this year was so long.

At this time, a gorgeous carriage drove up and stopped in front of the two of them. The curtain of the carriage was lifted to reveal the smiling face of Princess Qinghe, "Master Daoist, don't forget to attend the banquet."

"Princess don't worry."

Princess Qinghe lowered the curtain, and with a burst of laughter, the carriage disappeared into the street.

Shi Xiu frowned and said, "Master Daoist, that's it?"

"Princess Qinghe of the Great Wei."

Shi Xiu lowered her voice, and said: "She was tricked by her brother, and instead of marrying her lover, she married Princess Qinghe, the playboy Xia Houmao?"

Is this so common?
Even the people of Song Dynasty have eaten melons?
Li Yu smiled and said, "I really don't know very well, please explain carefully."

"The princess and Na Dingyi fell in love with each other, and later."
-
In the imperial palace of the State of Wei, people sat around a red stove.

Cao Cao sat at the head, his face was illuminated by the fire, and he stretched out his hand to fill a bowl of green plum wine.

He pushed the wine to Cheng Yu, who quickly reached out to take it.

"Zhongde, do you think Li Yu can understand my painstaking efforts?"

Cheng Yudao: "The orthodox Taoist priest is young and resourceful, quick-witted and subtle, and will definitely be able to perceive His Majesty's intentions. It's just that it's hard work for him, so we don't know."

Cao Cao laughed and said, "I can't help it. Although there is an elixir, I have to guard against the heir."

It is completely normal for him to have this worry. He said that he took the medicine of immortality, even if he really practiced to the point of immortality, accidents may happen after all.

How about Da Luo Jinxian?

It's not that someone died.

Beside Cheng Yu, sat an unremarkable middle-aged man. He was not as tall as Cheng Yu, and his appearance was different from most of the counselors here. Jiuqing's clothes.

Seeing that he lowered his head and said nothing, Cao Cao tapped under his nose in dissatisfaction, "Wen He, why don't you speak?"

Jia Xu stood up slowly and said, "I think of some past events."

"Oh?" Cao Cao became interested and asked, "What's the matter?"

Jia Xu raised the wine glass in his hand and gently poured it on the ground.

"What are you doing?"

Jia Xu said: "To pay homage to the two unlucky people who died in peace."

"who is it?"

"Liu Biao, Yuan Shao."

Cao Cao's face darkened all of a sudden, and the rest of the counselors didn't dare to speak.

Both Liu Biao and Yuan Shao favored the younger son, which made the eldest son unable to stand.These two powerful groups were wiped out because of this, and internal fighting was often more deadly than external enemies.

Jia Xu continued, "My lord, what else can I do?"

Hearing this familiar but unfamiliar title, Cao Cao seemed to have returned to the time when the heroes were competing for the throne, and many old things came to his mind.

He sighed and said, "It's okay."

Seeing Cao Cao's reaction, everyone knew that he had made a decision.

Jia Xu continued to sit in the corner as if nothing had happened, drinking in silence.
-
In the evening, Li Yu brought Shi Xiu to the banquet on time with a jug of good wine.

It was only when Li Yu came outside the consort's mansion that he realized that Xia Houmao's name as a dude was not for nothing.

Entering the mansion, after a few steps, there is a magnificent building in front of you. Although it has only three floors, it is more than six feet high, and there is a building with flying eaves and brackets above it, and the two buildings are separated by more than ten Zhang, connected by flying frames in the air, the momentum is magnificent.

A huge stone in front of the gate is engraved with the words "Xiahou's Mansion" in characters taller than a person, and the characters are filled with cinnabar.Just at dusk, a string of huge lanterns next to the stone was brightly lit, and the handwriting on the stone was illuminated by the lanterns, which could be seen clearly even a hundred paces away.

"True coquette," Li Yu scolded enviously.

The appearance of this consort's mansion is better than the formal one.You must know that although Zhengjingmen was not established for a long time, Zongmen was not built overnight, but the result of hundreds of years of monks in Daxiangguo Temple.

Li Yu couldn't help but secretly scolded the monks at the Daxiangguo Temple for being useless in his heart, and his family's wealth for hundreds of years was not as good as that of two generations of his family.

In fact, it is not as good as other generations
Because Xia Houmao's father is very frugal, it can be said that this family business has nothing to do with him. Xiahou Dun has been a general for so many years, and he has not accumulated any surplus money. If he has money, he distributes it to his soldiers, but Can't stand his son's power.

Xiahou Dun was the first to follow Cao Cao in the army, and he belonged to his confidant. After his death, he was posthumously named "Loyal Marquis", so we know his position in the Cao family's heart.

When Cao Cao fought with Lu Bu's army, Xiahou Dun was once taken hostage and shot blind in his left eye by Liu Ya.He guarded the rear for Cao Cao many times, led the army and the people to block the Taishou River, built ponds to irrigate the farmland, benefited the people, and made outstanding contributions.From the official to the general, he was granted the title of Marquis of Gao'an Township.

As a general, Xiahou Dun also has another rare quality, that is, he attaches great importance to learning and respects those great Confucian literati. Although he is a big official, he always treats literati with respect, and often asks for advice humbly.This man respected his teacher since he was a child. When someone humiliated his teacher when he was 14 years old, he killed that person directly.

When Cao Cao was fighting outside and there was a severe drought on his own land, Xiahou Dun cut off the Taishou River and formed a pond, which was equivalent to digging a large reservoir. When Cao Cao was fighting outside, he didn't have to worry about food and grass.

As his son, Xia Houmao can be said to have perfectly avoided all the advantages of his father. From this point of view, Xia Houmao is not a mortal.

When he grew up, relying on his father's relationship, he became the guardian of Chang'an.This kid has a good way of making money, and his family business has flourished. He is a big businessman behind the scenes of Wei.Most of Cao Pi's cost of winning people's hearts was given by Xia Houmao. He and Cao Pi played together since they were young, and they have a very good relationship.

Xia Houmao didn't know how to keep a low profile. He was born as a son and grandson, and he had never suffered a little bit, and he didn't plan to suffer.You say he is a waste, but it is actually unfair, because he is really good at making money and enjoying himself.

It is said that Xiahou Dun came to his son's house, and when he returned, he became very ill for three days. Instead, Cao Cao himself came to comfort him, stroked his hand and said: "Wei Jiang still enjoys the joy of gold and stone for his achievements in peace with the Rong. General Kuang."

After speaking, Xiahou Dun was given a large group of beautiful musicians, telling him to enjoy life.

Shi Xiu was beside Li Yu, and whispered, "Xiahou's son-in-law has the best relationship with Cao Pi, that's why Cao Pi strongly recommended to his father that Princess Qinghe should be married to Xiahou Mao."

Li Yu nodded, a complicated emotional entanglement and ethical drama had already emerged in his heart.

Princess Qinghe and Ding Yi fell in love, and the two fell in love with each other, but they were plotted by their uncle Cao Pi, so that Princess Qinghe married his good friend Xia Houmao; one of the couple hated Cao Pi to the bone, and the other wore a pair of trousers with him.
The two came to the banquet upstairs, and were shocked again by the overwhelming aura of wealth.I saw a golden lacquer screen standing in the large building, on which was inlaid with jade, agate, and pearls to form flower and bird patterns, and a string of lotus lanterns hung on each corner. The lamps were all carved from white jade. .

Behind the screen is a corridor, with more than a dozen young maids lined up on both sides, saying softly: "Two distinguished guests, please come in."

Inside the building is a hall, the space supported by 64 huge columns is extremely spacious.There are dozens of tables around the hall. On the table closest to me is a black lacquered chess throat, with a maze-like pattern inlaid with gold threads, and four round emeralds in the middle, forming a square. .

More than a dozen dancers sang and danced gracefully in the pool, and their white and graceful bodies changed into various soft postures.After a song is sung, the lingering sound curls up, as if it is still lingering between the beams.

At this time, there were already many people in the hall, but after Li Yu arrived, everyone still stood up.

Xia Houmao and Princess Qinghe, a seemingly incompatible couple, greeted them in person.

Today, their husband and wife hosted a banquet for Li Yu, and all the dignitaries in the court were invited. They gathered together for a banquet every day, regardless of whether Li Yu arrived, they started singing, dancing and games ahead of time, and the hall was very lively.

Li Yu has seen many such scenes, and he can barely adapt. Shi Xiu beside him has already fainted.

This man who doesn't even frown at mountains and seas of knives is actually at a loss for what to do at this moment.

Xia Houmao laughed loudly, and said enthusiastically: "This is the orthodox Taoist priest. I have heard of the Taoist priest's name for a long time. When I saw him today, he was indeed a dragon and phoenix among people."

"The son-in-law is absurd."

"Come in quickly!"

Xia Houmao led Li Yu into the lobby, and stretched out his hand to signal everyone to be quiet.

"Everyone, this is the orthodox Taoist priest!"

As soon as the words fell, everyone stood up and saluted, and Li Yu bowed his hands politely.

Xia Houmao felt that he had a good face and was able to invite Li Yu. For the first time, he was somewhat satisfied with his wife, the princess.

When Princess Qinghe said that Li Yu was invited to the banquet, he couldn't even believe it.

Xia Houmao pushed Li Yu to the top, and then they sat down, and the sound of drums sounded at the same time.

Few of the people present reacted to this astonishing extravagance.

Li Yu secretly compared the Great Wei and Shu Kingdoms in his heart, and Liu Bei enjoyed his honor, and the few night banquets he enjoyed were less than one-tenth of what he enjoyed here.

The national strength of Wei is indeed much stronger than that of Shu.

Liu Adou's reluctance to miss Shu is not entirely without objective reasons, except that his subjective consciousness is not strong.
