Chapter 690: General Sima
"Sister, are you going to marry in the future?"
Lu Xiao tugged at his sister's sleeve and asked curiously.
"Hmph, I don't want to get married!"
The little bell snorted, and her mother said that after getting married, she can no longer be temperamental, and her husband must come first in everything, laundry, cooking, embroidery, etc., are the obligations of wives.
Thinking of this, the little bell had a headache.
Growing up, she was lively and liked to be free.
As my father said, I'd rather be an eagle soaring in the sky than a magpie trapped in a golden wire cage.
Time flies, and it is late autumn in a blink of an eye.
The north wind blew, rolling up the yellow leaves and flying in the air. Looking up at the sky, flocks of geese fly south to the south for the winter.
Under the sudden drop in temperature, the people changed their short shirts into long coats, and the most experienced thing was the joke, and they had turned out the jacket in winter and put it on their bodies.
On this day, the Son of Heaven held a court meeting in Weiyang Palace, and all the ministers came, and so did Lu Bu.
Han Xuan, the little yellow door, opened the edict and recited it loudly in public: There is a great drought in Guanzhong, locusts are a disaster, and there are countless people who have been displaced. However, I was deceived by the villain, so that the food for disaster relief could not be delivered to the people, and I was really ashamed of tens of thousands of disaster victims. Fortunately, God has mercy, Da Sima asked for Ganlin, saved tens of thousands of refugees from fire and water, and read Da Sima's outstanding military exploits in the past, I was very relieved, so after the official title of Da Sima, he was crowned a general, as a reward, Wangqing do not live up to my hopes, and admire this.
"Minister, thank you Your Majesty!"
Lu Bu took a step forward, pressed down the jade tooth wat board in his hand, and bowed down to thank him.
"When he was young, his family was poor, and because his grandfather served in the army, he had to join the army. Later, he was recommended by the old general, and the ministers commanded the army to start a decisive battle with the Xianbei people, and they had to be valued by the emperor before they could move forward step by step. Now His Majesty trusts the minister so much, which really makes the minister very grateful, but also a little more apprehensive.
The minister swears here today that for the rest of his life, he will sweep away the rebellion for His Majesty and revive my Han rivers and mountains! β
Lu Bu said loudly, loudly.
"Lu Qing, hurry up, with you by my side, I feel much more comfortable when I sleep."
Liu Xie tried his best to smile on his face, but he was particularly unwilling in his heart.
He actually didn't want to seal Lu Bu, but Lu Bu had done so many things recently, and the people and officials saw it, if he didn't reward him, others would say that he didn't know how to reward and punish, and he was a dumb king with no eyes.
"At this time, there must not be any handle in the hands of Lu Bu, otherwise, he will really have a reason to abolish the emperor." Shang Shu Ling Xu said.
Although LΓΌ Bu never had the idea of abolishing the emperor, as his power continued to grow, in the eyes of outsiders, LΓΌ Bu was ambitious and would sooner or later have the intention of becoming the emperor.
At first, Liu Xie didn't believe it, he thought that his father would not look away, but later as the number of people who slandered Lu Bu increased, Liu Xie gradually wavered.
This world was laid down by the ancestors of the Liu family, and it is the inheritance left to me by my father and brother, and I will never let it be lost in my hands!
Liu Xie's attitude in his heart is very resolute, but now Lu Bu is too strong, the ministers are strong and the lords are weak, and he can only figure it out slowly.
"Congratulations to Da Sima."
The ministers in the palace bowed their hands one after another and congratulated in unison.
Lu Bu nodded slightly in response.
After the court meeting dispersed, the Son of Heaven left, and the hundred officials were ready to return to their posts to perform their duties, but Situ Wang Yun stopped everyone first.
"Today is the old man's birthday, so I prepared a small banquet of thin wine in the house, I want to invite Da Sima and all my colleagues to the house to get together, and please give the old man a thin noodle, don't refuse."
Wang Yun said with a peaceful smile, very kindly, and with the white hair on his sideburns, he looked like a kind elder.
Hearing that today was Wang Yun's birthday, most of the officials were surprised and expressed their opinions as soon as possible.
"Wang Situ personally invited, how can we shirk it, and when we are busy with today's things, we should go to celebrate Situ's birthday."
"That's right, Situ De is highly respected, and he is a veteran of the two dynasties, and he has won the praise of the government and the opposition, and he is really a model for my generation. Tonight, it's time to go! β
Wang Yun thanked them one by one with a smile, and also understood what could not come, and finally his eyes fell on Lu Bu.
In fact, whether these people go to the house to celebrate their birthdays or not, Wang Yun doesn't care at all, he only cares whether Lu Bu will agree.
If Lu Bu doesn't go, who will he sing this good show to.
Lu Bu thought back in his mind, it seemed that there was no major matter for him to deal with recently, Wang Yun had also sent people to the mansion to invite him several times before, but Lu Bu shirked it because of his busy affairs.
Since there was nothing to do recently, Lu Bu agreed to come down.
At dusk, Lu Bu's car stopped at the door of Situ's mansion.
Knowing that Lu Bu had arrived, Wang Yun, who greeted the guests in the lobby, personally went out of the house to greet him.
Lu Bu took the gift from Chen Wei's hand, handed it to Wang Yun, and said with a smile: "Situ Gong is born today, be careful, not respectful. β
Wang Yun showed a flattered look, carefully accepted the gift, and ordered the steward to put the gift away, and then compared a gesture of invitation with Lu Bu to the mansion: "Let Da Sima break the cost, please inside." β
Lu Bu followed Wang Yun to the lobby, there were more than forty people sitting in the hall, and when they saw Lu Bu coming, they all got up and saluted: "The lower official has seen the Great Sima General." β
Lu Bu waved his hand lightly and said calmly: "Today is Situ Gong's birthday, you don't need to be polite, please sit down." β
Only then did everyone sit back in their respective positions, and Wang Yun invited Lu Bu to the front of the guests, as today's heavyweight guest, and a big man in today's court, he was naturally different.
When everyone saw that Wang Yun had set up a new seat for Lu Bu, they complained in their hearts, but they didn't mention anything.
When the guests arrived, the dinner began.
The maidservants in Situ's mansion moved the lotus steps lightly, held jade plates, and brought plates of delicacies to the table.
As the host, Wang Yun raised his wine glass and said to the full house: "Although today is the old man's birthday, I want to pay tribute to our great General Sima for this first glass of wine." These days, Da Sima is busy in order to help the victims, others don't know the hard work, but the old man understands very well, come, let's raise a glass together, first pay tribute to General Sima! β
Wang Yundu said this, and everyone in the hall naturally stood up and saluted Lu Bu: "Great Sima is hard! β
"Situ Gong, today is your birthday, why do you respect me?" Lu Bu picked up the wine cup and got up from his position and asked Wang Yun rhetorically.
Wang Yun smiled at this and replied: "The old man's birthday is just a trivial matter, how can it be compared to the big Sima for the country and the people, so this first cup should be honored to the big Sima first." β
Everyone said yes, and Lu Bu drank the first cup.
After the banquet lasted for more than half an hour, one of the guests walked up to Wang Yun with a wine cup and teased drunkenly: "Situ Gong, how come there is not even a singer to dance in the huge mansion?" This is also cold, boring, boring, really boring! β
