Three Kingdoms: The Guan Family's Rebellious Son, Long Blessing Jing Xiang

Chapter 258

Today, although it is a troubled time, origin and identity are things that include moral factors, talent factors, and even all aspects.

To be specific, a person with a high background and a good status will be considered to have both ability and political integrity to a certain extent, and then he will have a bright future in the future.

As Xi Zhen...

Is it wrong for an uncle to want to marry his niece to someone with a better background?
Not wrong.

Therefore, when Xi Zhen reprimanded Hao Zhao and opposed the marriage, most people tended to agree.

For example, Guan Yu, although his heart is on Guan Lin's side, he can't force Xi Zhen over and over again, which is too demeanor.

Of course, it's not that they are not on Hao Zhao's side.

Such as Guan Yinping, such as Ma Liang, they still sympathized with this young prisoner.

I also feel sorry for the grounding of Guan Lin's plan, which finally opened a breakthrough.

Of course, there are also those who don't change their expressions and stare at Guan Lin from the corner of their eyes. It's not a big deal to watch the excitement.

After a long call, Guan Lin finally spoke, "Patriarch Xi, this junior dares to ask, you said that this Hao Zhaode is not good, and he has a bad background? But why can such a person with a bad background be able to do everything in Jiangxia County?" Qudu, commanding thousands of people? And why did I, Guan Lin, have to witness his marriage in person, and why did my father want to marry him in person?"

Hearing that this song leads thousands of people, Xi Zhen was slightly taken aback, and his expression changed vividly.

He realized that it is not easy for a white body like Hao Zhao to be the governor of the trilogy.

Before Xi Zhen figured it out.

"Patriarch Xi, what does this junior ask you?" Guan Lin raised his voice and urged.

Xi Zhen looked at Guan Yu, but shook his head, "How do I know why?"

In fact, he knows, at least, the latter two questions, he knows.

The reason why your father said such a marriage is not because you Guan Lin recruited these captives, the so-called "the overall situation is the most important"!
But even if he knew, Xi Zhen didn't dare to say it clearly. He deliberately added a sentence, "Mr. Yunqi witnessed the marriage for him, and the second general married him? This kind of thing? Don't you know why Mr. Yunqi wants to ask me? "

"Of course I know." Guan Lin laughed and said, "It's just patriarch Xi, you should know too."

Having said that, Guan Lin directly pulled Hao Zhao, who was kneeling to plead guilty, into the lobby, and then said to everyone present, "Among you, you should all inherit the family. There is a place for him, except for my father's humble background, there should be no martial arts background, right?

This…

Hearing this, Guan Yudun felt a little prickly.

However, it is true, his background is really not high, for a young man like Hao Zhao, Guan Yu is still guarding the courtyard!Or hit jujube trees to practice!

Guan Yu just thought of this.

Guan Lin's voice groaned again, "You all are descendants of aristocratic families, and you must have heard of it. What kind of ability does it take for a white-bodied commoner and an ordinary warrior to be the governor of a trilogy and the leader of a thousand people in the military camp? Just imagine my The commanders of Jingzhou, my fifth younger brother, my third sister, and my second elder brother...Although they are excellent in martial arts? But if they don’t have the status of my father, their merits, let alone commanders of thousands, even commanders of centurions are extremely reluctant! It can be seen that this Hao Zhao can stand out in Jiang Xia's army, doesn't this mean that he has extraordinary ability?"

After blurting out these words, everyone nodded from Guan Yu down.

"It's nothing more than to be the governor of the trilogy, but this Hao Zhao is Jiang Xiabing, the governor of the trilogy under Wenpin. He can achieve this level with his own ability. He is not only outstanding in ability, he must be appreciated by Wenpin. Wenpin is known as "Jiangxia Iron Wall". His offensive ability is not very good, but his defensive ability is top-notch. If Hao Zhao can learn [-]% of his knowledge, wouldn't it be of great benefit to Jingzhou? Cao Cao in the north knows that he is only talented, no Ask about family status? Could it be that... we in Jingzhou, your Xi family are going to reject such a good general and such a talented person because of the family status?"

"That's it..." Before everyone could react, Guan Yinping had already applauded, acting as Guan Lin's "caller"!
Ma Liang also nodded slightly.

Guan Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, and thought to himself:

——"It's still the familiar Yunqi... With this mouth, the dead can be said to be alive!" 』

"Look at this Hao Zhao again..." Guan Lin continued, "Yes, what Patriarch Xi said just now is correct, marriage is a big deal, how can it be a joke? How can it be a lie? How can it be a lie? But is it a joke, is it a lie? We We can't just look at the appearance of this mistake, we must also look at the original intention of this wrong behavior..."

Speaking of this, Guan Lin paused, his tone raised, and he was serious, "The big man ruled the world with filial piety. This Hao Zhao changed his name to Hao Ri. Is he trying to cheat the marriage? No! Obviously he is hiding his name in exchange for his mother in the north. An Ran, such a sincere and filial person? How can he be a person who deceives the world and steals his name? Could it be that the filial piety he follows is wrong?"

This time, more people opened their mouths and even nodded in praise: "That's right!"

"There is more." Guan Lin turned to the door again, "Look, this Hao Zhao made a mistake alone, how many trilogy pleaded for him, there are hundreds of people kneeling in the courtyard, and there are even more people outside the gate of Guan's mansion. How much? I dare to ask, my father often said that the establishment of prestige in the army is not only about taking the lead and fighting bravely, but also treating soldiers well and loving soldiers like sons. So? Hao Zhao’s fault alone caused so many Is it not the performance of this Buqu Du who loves soldiers like a son?"

Now, Guan Yu couldn't help but stroked his beard, and nodded thoughtfully.

After Guan Lin said this, he suddenly discovered that aside from persuading the captives to surrender, this Hao Zhao is indeed worthy of Guan Yu's visit to propose marriage in person, he is a good talent.

——"Yunqi's vision is still as vicious as ever! 』

"And, Patriarch Xi..." Guan Lin led Hao Zhao to face Xi Zhen, and raised his voice to the extreme. "From Patriarch Xi's point of view, since he confessed the truth, and since you got up and rejected this marriage, Brother Hao Zhao has not changed his face except for the fact that he looked a little sad at the beginning!"

"Even if you ridicule him for his low birth, low status, or call him shameless, or I praise him for being quite prestigious, loving soldiers like a son, and being a virtuous talent, his expression has not wavered in the slightest. This demeanor, In addition to his appearance, character, and talent? Could it be that because of his background, because of his current situation, he will be mediocre all his life?"

Xi Zhen was so fascinated that he couldn't open his mouth.

"Patriarch Xi..." Guan Lin continued to urge: "Zi said 'a gentleman is always poor', he said that a gentleman is in poverty and guards the way, but Brother Hao Zhao is not only able to keep the way, but also has such a magnanimity, such courage, and such talent. Could it be... Patriarch Xi really thinks that he will 'fortify his poverty for the rest of his life'?"

Hearing this, Hao Zhao was already stunned...

The kneeling captives outside the door were also stunned. They could never have imagined that the Fourth Master Guan was not only "generous in giving money" and "beautiful as an adult", but also said such big things at this time.

Just to...prove for Buqudu among their captives that he is worthy enough of this daughter of the family.

Guan Yu, Ma Liang, Zhou Cang, Guan Yinping, and countless civil and military officials in the main hall, because Guan Lin's words are also thoughtful.

Xi Zhen's expression became cloudy... He opened his mouth a few times and closed it a few times, as if he was making a final balance.

But the sobbing sound of Pang Rong in the back hall disappeared.

Guan Lin raised his eyebrows, and continued: "There is also the girl from the Pang family in the back hall... I, Guan Lin, would like to advise that it is easy to find a man with two legs in this world, but the most important thing is such talent, courage, and bearing. The most important thing is the man who fell in love with you at first sight and admired each other. If you miss it, you will never miss it! The so-called man chasing the woman's interlayer mountain, and the woman chasing the man's interlayer gauze...you just have the heart to separate this gauze, and let such a wishful man slipping away from your eyes?"

It seemed that Hao Zhao couldn't hold back his expression after hearing the title "Sister of the Pang family". His expression changed drastically, and he looked towards the back hall in panic.

Everyone's eyes are also looking at the back hall at the same time.

at this time.

"Uncle...Hao Lang is so capable, now that he is in trouble for a while, how can he be in trouble for the rest of his life?"

Pang Rong's crisp female voice came from the back hall without thinking, "Uncle, don't you...do you have to...break us up? Do you want Pang and Xi's family to lose such a talented, courageous son-in-law who will sooner or later be successful? ?”

Now that the words are out...

Everyone was speechless, but they all turned their eyes back to Xi Zhen.

Finally, amidst the ever-changing expressions, Xi Zhen let out a long sigh, then bent down and bowed to Guan Yu and Guan Lin, "If it weren't for the second general and Mr. Yunqi, my Xi and Pang's family almost lost a son-in-law who rides a dragon fast today." .”

Guan Yu stroked his beard and laughed loudly, then raised his wine bottle, and said to Xi Zhen: "The banquet is still going on, and there is nothing to do today, can Guan, a matchmaker, also get a glass of wedding wine?"

"It's natural, it's natural...I invite Guan Gong to the banquet."

Following Xi Zhen's voice, everyone stood up suddenly, and the banquet resumed like this.

Guan Lin saw that even when he was sent into the bridal chamber, Hao Zhao and Pang Rong looked back at him from time to time through the cattail fan, their eyes full of gratitude.

A perfect couple.

Watching the couple enter the bridal chamber, Guan Lin felt a sense of elation in his heart.

Compared to getting "God General"...

Undoubtedly, it can convince the "God General"... In Guan Lin's view, it is even more precious!
As the saying goes-it is better to tear down ten temples than ruin a marriage!

Since ancient times, it has been persuading peace and not dividing!

It's just that this wedding night... even Guan Lin didn't know about it.

Hao Zhao and Pang Rong, the newlyweds, did not indulge in the bridal chamber, but after a taste, they walked together to the door of the house of the thief Cao Yu and Guan Lin...

They all want to thank this "matchmaker" who turned the tide for them...

However, Guan Lin had already fallen asleep after drinking a lot of wine, and Milu was on duty today, so he guarded the door and stopped the pair of wall men.

"The fourth son has already fallen asleep, the two of you can come back tomorrow..."

Hao Zhao and Pang Rong looked at each other, then knelt down together, kowtowed deeply towards the closed door.

Hao Zhao helped his wife up, and solemnly walked towards the Milu.

"I trouble the strong man to tell Mr. Yunqi that this feeling has been written down by Hao Zhao. From now on, if the fourth son is worried about dispatching, I will definitely go through fire and water without hesitation!"

Hao Zhao's words are swearing...

Mi Lu nodded, "I remember, the young master wakes up tomorrow morning, bring the words to me!"

Hao Zhao and Pang Rong finally took a deep look at the door in front of them, although this door separated them and Mr. Guan Si.

But not for a moment, Hao Zhao felt that he and the fourth master Guan were so close...

There will never be another moment when Hao Zhao will treat a person so heartlessly like he is now!
...

...

In the hunting ground outside Fancheng, in winter, the hooves of the prey seem to be frozen, and they run extremely slowly.

Therefore, in this season, once the prey is found, it is easier to shoot the prey.

Cao Pi and Sima Yi rode their horses and galloped.

Sima Yi let out a soft breath, the beef tendon bowstring in his hand had been stretched to the limit, the entire rhino horn bow made a "creak, creak" sound, and the arrow cluster was aimed at an elk twenty feet away in front of him.

The deer hid in a birch forest, peacefully chewing a bunch of withered yellow leaves, unaware of the imminent disaster.

On such a cold winter day, the sparse woods can't provide any decent cover. The bare branches and bushes stretch out in front of you, like a natural cage, enveloping the huge body of the elk.

With a sound of "嗖", Sima Yi drew his bow and shot an arrow, and the arrow flew towards the elk like a shooting star. With the sound of a whistling, he realized that another arrow also came out from the opposite side.

The two arrows collided, but the elk escaped by chance. The frightened elk suddenly jumped, hitting the trees beside him and shaking. disappeared.

Sima Yi smiled helplessly, stuck the rhino horn bow into the soil, walked to the woods, pulled out the arrow shaft from the tree trunk, stroked the crooked tail feathers casually, and inserted them back into the quiver.

Cao Pi came on horseback from the opposite side, "Today is the day when Mr. Li successfully entered the Overlord's Mansion. It is still a doe with a big belly and is about to give birth. Why don't you kill it?"

Sima Yi looked at the arrow marks on the birch trunk, his eyes flashed with dissatisfaction, "I think Zihuan wants to feel the benevolence and love in the hearts of Mr. Cangshu (Cao Chong) and Mr. Zijian now." ?”

Cao Pi said with emotion: "If Zijian and brother Chong are there, they have always been like 'the elk gives birth, and can't bear to do it', 'the wild pheasant protects the family, and it must fulfill its righteousness', 'the wild goose is the leader, and the benevolent will not stop the returning bird', Many times I can't figure it out, the father is not kind, why would he love a benevolent and loving son so much?"

"This time...Zijian committed such a big mistake, Yang Xiu, who was punished by his father, still used his "Order of Widowhood", but the "Nine Ranks of Officials Law" I presented...but nothing came to light. Does it mean that the father still appreciates Zijian? Father likes his benevolence and kindness!"

Cao Pi looked at the path left by the elk running away, and couldn't help but feel a sense of loss.

"Zijian didn't win this matter, and Zihuan didn't lose..." Sima Yi persuaded: "At least the prime minister used the "Widow Recruitment Order", but put Yang Xiu in prison and gave Mr. Li to Zihuan. , all in all, Zihuan is not at a disadvantage..."

"But the "Nine Ranks of Officials Law"..." Cao Pi was still not reconciled.

"Perhaps, the prime minister is still afraid of those aristocratic families... These years, the death of Xun Lingjun and Cui Shangshu really hurt the prime minister, and made him more sensitive and jealous." Sima Yi said with emotion: "In these years, Cao Wei's Soldiers and horses are either in the hands of the clan, or in the hands of the temporary generals, the prime minister is using the clan and the generals to check and balance the clan, it is consistent, it has always been like this... not to mention..."

Sima Yi paused, "What's more, the power of the "Nine Ranks of Officials Law" presented by Mr. Li does not lie in whether the prime minister implements it, but lies in the views of the various aristocratic families on you. Now, you are no longer the master. Fighting alone."

This…

Sima Yi's words made Cao Pi feel better.

But at this time.

There was a faint sound coming from the farm not far away.

——"Let me go..."

——"I have a husband. My husband was a soldier in Jiangxia. He didn't come back, he didn't die...I'm not a widow!"

- "Let go of me... let go of me..."

Hearing this, Sima Yi and Cao Pi hurriedly drove over there.

The closer you get, the more you can hear the footsteps of soldiers and the rustling of armor, and the torches illuminate the approaching dusk.

In the deep and long village alley, an official from Cao Wei bowed his head and said to the officer in charge, "It's just the three of them. They have recruited widows several times, and they justified that their husband is not dead, and he is serving in the army in Jiangxia..."

The official leading the army was Zhao Yan.

Zhao Yan sneered, "How dare you say that your husband is in the army in Jiangxia? They surrendered to the enemy, and their mistake was worse than death. Now the prime minister has not punished you. It is already an exception to conscript you to marry again. How dare you delay it?" , Immediately the whole family was arrested, beheaded for public display, as an example to others!"

Zhao Yan's words shocked the three women. They were only in their 20s, and they were in their best years...

Now...their man is still there, but... they are forced to remarry again, which... makes them unable to pass this test in their hearts.

An old man in the village persuaded: "Go, go...don't let the prime minister pursue it, and implicate the whole village, go, go...get married again, and forget everything here."

These three women have been crying pear blossoms with rain...

Zhao Yan raised his whip, "Take it away, take it away, there is another village! Don't delay..."

In history, this is Zhao Yan.

After Cao Wei implemented the "Widow Recruitment Order", wherever he went, the number of widows he recruited far exceeded the original officials.

That is, he opened the precedent of spreading widows into "living wives".

Not to mention, this time, Cao Cao has already ordered these wives and daughters who surrendered.

For the sake of merit and achievement, Zhao Yan would rather catch him by mistake than let him go, and he can't rub any sand in his eyes.

"This…"

Cao Pi, who came in a hurry, saw such a scene of bullying the weak, and he subconsciously wanted to step forward to stop him.

But Sima Yi grabbed him, and he whispered: "The "Order of Widows Recruitment" was promulgated by the prime minister, and it was implemented throughout the whole country. Zihuan can think clearly. If he wants to stop it, it is not the "Order of Widows Recruitment". , but the prime minister!"

This…

Cao Pi was stunned for a moment, he felt his legs trembling, shaking violently.

Zhao Yan noticed Cao Pi, "Who am I supposed to be? So I'm a general with five sense organs!"

Cao Pi frowned and bowed reluctantly to Zhao Yan, "General Zhao..."

"What? Who doesn't have good eyesight and offends the general with five senses?"

Cao Pi opened his mouth angrily, and he didn't know whether it was because he was jealous of Cao Zhi's benevolence and kindness, or because he hated his father's adoption of the "Order for Widowhood" presented by his younger brother. He was about to explode.

Sima Yi was tugging at his clothes.

Immediately, Cao Pi restrained all his emotions, "I just heard what these women said, their husbands did not die in battle, and they were never widows. Will this "Widows Recruitment Order" also conscript them?"

"General of five senses, take a step to speak." Zhao Yan gestured to Cao Pi, and the three walked aside.

Speaking of it, Zhao Yan is one of the four famous scholars in Yingchuan, and he is a descendant of the clan. Because of the "Nine Rank Official Law", from the bottom of his heart, he is on Cao Pi's side, so he can naturally understand Cao Pi's mood.

"To say something that shouldn't be said, would Mr. Zihuan think that Jiangxia's nine thousand captives did not surrender to Guan Yu?"

"Ah—" Cao Pi was taken aback.

Zhao Yan narrowed his eyes slightly and spoke solemnly. "Many of them are going to get married in Jiangling City. From this point of view, they are only recruiting their original wives and daughters to remarry. This is already considered a lenient by the prime minister. I advise the general of the five senses not to intervene in this matter. , so as not to catch fire!"

hum...

Following Zhao Yan's words, Cao Pi's heart thumped.

Sima Yi hurriedly bowed to Zhao Yan for Cao Pi, "Thank you, General Zhao, for your suggestion..."

Zhao Yan patted Sima Yi on the shoulder, "Support Mr. Zihuan well, we Yuzhou people all look forward to Mr. Zihuan's further progress, and even more so, to implement the "Nine Grades of Official Law" by Mr. Zihuan." ! Master Zihuan, don’t let us down!”

Having said that, Zhao Yan bowed deeply to Cao Pi.

This bow has nothing to do with dignity, it is more about the hope of the Yuzhou clan.

And these words made Cao Pi suddenly feel that the burden on his body was even heavier!
Not long after, Zhao Yan's team took the three "living wives" away...

Cao Piyou frowned, and after a long time, he pondered, "Couldn't father be afraid of rebelling against Jiang Xia's captives?"

call--

Sima Yi exhaled heavily, "Perhaps, the prime minister is right!"

"For such a long time, Jiang Xia has captured so many people, but some news is still sent back..."

"Just imagine, if it wasn't surrender? Who would have so much food and cloth for so many captives? Return the beauty of adults and help them marry wives... Where can they still be captives?"

Speaking of this, Sima Yi solemnly said to Cao Pi: "Zi Huan, don't be so naive! Remember, from the moment you present the "Nine Rank Official Law", you are no longer alone!"

"No matter what the purpose is, there are already many people who want to walk with you on this road, don't be kind to women!"

...
