Three Kingdoms, I'm really not a general!

Chapter 601: A Wedding That Cannot Be Keep a Low Profile

The news that Xing Daorong and Hua Man were going to get married was indeed extremely shocking.

However, no matter how shocking it was, others could only gossip about it and no one dared to say anything about Xing Daorong to his face.

But in this matter, naturally some people are happy and some are worried.

When the news reached Chengdu, Meng Huo and Zhu Rong were stunned at first, and then they were ecstatic.

When he learned that his daughter Huaman was betrothed to General Xing Daorong by Liu Bei, he was overjoyed and immediately decided to go to Chang'an to meet the future son-in-law in person.

Along the way, Meng Huo laughed heartily and said to Zhu Rong: "Madam, it is a blessing from heaven that our Hua Man has found such a good match!"

"Xing Daorong is a famous general of the time, and he is extremely brave. If our daughter marries him, she will surely enjoy a life of prosperity and stability!"

Speaking of Meng Huo, he naturally admired Xing Daorong very much.

He still remembered Xing Daorong's fire god-like appearance in the battle of Nanzhong!
He will never forget that scene for the rest of his life!
Zhu Rong also smiled, his eyes showing relief: "Yes, His Majesty personally granted the marriage, which shows the importance he attaches to our barbarian tribe. If we can take this opportunity to promote the marriage of the barbarians and the Han people, and to bring peace to the border, it is also our wish."

Zhu Rong actually saw it clearly and knew what Liu Bei was up to.

After arriving in Chang'an, Meng Huo and Zhu Rong went straight to Xing Daorong's mansion.

Xing Daorong had already learned the news and went out of the house to greet him in person.

He was dressed in military uniform and looked very heroic. When he saw Meng Huo and Zhu Rong, he immediately bowed and saluted, saying respectfully and earnestly, "King Meng, Madam Zhu Rong, you have come from afar. I hope you can forgive me for not welcoming you in person!"

Meng Huo did not dare to call himself the father-in-law. He strode forward, patted Xing Daorong on the shoulder generously, and said with a smile: "General, no need to be polite! We came here today, first, to meet you, the future son-in-law, and second, for the future of our two clans, to have a good discussion!"

Zhu Rong also nodded with a smile, looking at Xing Daorong with loving eyes.

Speaking of which…

Zhu Rong is about the same age as me. Nowadays... people get married and have children very early, let alone the barbarians.

So... this look still looks a little weird.

What he said made Xing Daorong feel a little uncomfortable.

"General Xing is indeed a handsome man with an imposing manner. It is a blessing for our Hua Man to marry you."

Xing Daorong smiled bitterly and said, "Madam, there is no need to say that. Just think of it as a past life."

Meng Huo said in a loud voice: "Great! General Xing is really straightforward! Let's have a good drink today, not only to celebrate this happy event, but also to plan for the future of our two tribes!"

Meng Huo repeatedly mentioned the future of the two tribes, which finally brought Xing Daorong back to his senses.

It seems... Meng Huo really has something to say!
He paused for a moment, then remembered it in his heart, and nodded in response, "King Meng is right. Please come into the mansion for a chat. Xing has prepared some wine, and I'd like to drink with you two."

After that, the three of them went into the mansion hand in hand, drinking and chatting happily at the table.

Seeing that the time was almost right, Xing Daorong was thinking about how to ask, but he saw Meng Huo took the initiative to speak.

Meng Huo picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp. Then he put it down and looked at Xing Daorong with sharp eyes. He said loudly, "General Xing, since the news of His Majesty's marriage to you, it has caused quite a stir in Nanzhong!"

"When the young ladies of our barbarian tribe heard about this, they were all envious and talked about it, saying that it would be a great thing if they could marry a Han Chinese like my daughter did."

At this point, his tone slowed down a bit, with a tentative smile: "General Xing, do you think this can be done? If the girls of our barbarian tribe can really marry the Han people, wouldn't it make the barbarian and Han tribes closer and turn hostility into friendship?"

"In this way, the border will be peaceful and the people will live and work in peace. Isn't this the best of both worlds?"

Xing Daorong was surprised to hear that the barbarians were so willing to integrate with the Han people. If this was true, it would be a great thing.

In fact, the integration of the Han and the barbarians was not only because the Han people looked down on the barbarians, but also because the barbarians were not so willing to join the Han people.

To put it bluntly, they have their own culture, and they don’t want to lose it…

To be more thorough, there are indeed some differences in the original genes.

But Xing Daorong doesn't care about all this. We are all Chinese, so the sooner we integrate, the better.

Hearing what Meng Huo said, he nodded seriously, and after a moment's silence, he said, "King Meng is right. Marriage between the barbarians and the Han people has been the best way to promote harmony between the two tribes since ancient times."

"If the barbarian girls are truly willing to marry Han people, the imperial court will certainly not stop them. Instead, they will strongly support them."

"Your Majesty has spoken to me about this matter. This time, you asked me to marry your daughter to set a precedent for the world to see."

Xing Daorong first reassured Meng Huo, and then continued: "But this matter needs to be done step by step, and we can't rush it. First, both parties must be willing, and second, we must take into account customs and habits to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings."

Meng Huo laughed loudly and patted the table: "Great! The general is indeed very righteous! Our barbarian women are straightforward and dare to love and hate. If we can marry the Han people, we will be able to live in harmony. If this can be done, the relationship between our Nanzhong and the Han area will be even closer!"

Zhu Rong nodded with a smile and added: "General, this matter still requires your attention. Please explain the pros and cons to His Majesty. If this matter can be facilitated, it will not only be a blessing for our barbarian tribe, but also a blessing for the people of the world."

Xing Daorong nodded solemnly: "Don't worry, I will do my best to make this happen. The barbarians and the Han people are one family, which is what your majesty wants, and it is also the general trend of the world. If we work together, we will surely make the two tribes live in harmony and create a peaceful and prosperous world!"

The three of them smiled at each other and drank together.

We drank till we were drunk that day, and it was a rare day of great fun.

...

The next day, when Xing Daorong brought Meng Huo and Zhu Rong to talk to Liu Bei about what they had discussed yesterday, Liu Bei was very happy.

But he shouted: "Okay!"

"In this way, as long as the barbarians and the Han people can integrate, the other foreign races can follow suit without any worries."

As he spoke, he spoke kindly to Meng Huo and Zhu Rong, trying to calm their minds.

Then he smiled and looked at Xing Daorong and said, "Zi Yu! I will personally take care of your wedding this time!"

“It must be a big event!”

When Xing Daorong saw this, he realized that this was impossible!
If they do it on a grand scale, won't their own backyard be turned upside down?
I immediately stepped forward to refuse.

But how could Liu Bei give Xing Daorong a chance to refuse!

But he said: "I have made up my mind about this matter! Let's do it this way!"

"Zi Yu, don't worry about it. I will take care of everything for you and make sure you won't be dissatisfied at all!"

have to.

Since Liu Bei said so, there was no reason for Xing Daorong to refuse.

So he could only nod in agreement.
