Chapter 270: My Marriage, My Decision
"Meng Qi, how old is this year?"
After a dance, Liu Xiu, the eldest princess of Dahanyang Zhai, sat obediently beside Dong Zhuo, and Dong Zhuo pinched Liu Xiu's chest wantonly in front of everyone, as if his mood had improved. And Liu Xiu's eyes suddenly flashed a trace of pain, and then he looked at Dong Zhuo with a smile like a flower: "Taishi, you make people hurt so much!" ”
"Slut!" Dong Yi, who was beside him, gently spit out these two words. In her opinion, what is the difference between a Han princess and those prostitutes in the hook bar?
Ma Chao was noncommittal about this, and deliberately pretended to be a little sick and returned to Dong Zhuo: "I have spent seventeen years in my humble position, and because of my father's early death, I have performed the gift of a weak crown. ”
In ancient times, men had long hair since birth, and when they were twenty years old, they had to perform the ceremony of crowning in the temple. The crown ceremony is presided over by the father, and the designated guest of honor crowns the young man who performs the crown ceremony three times, which represents the right to govern people, serve the country, and participate in sacrifices. After the crowning, the dignitaries read the congratulatory message to the crowner, and gave him a beautiful "word" equivalent to the virtue of the gentleman, which means that he has reached adulthood.
And Ma Teng died before Ma Chao was seventeen years old, and in this case, Ma Chao gave himself a table in advance, and the clan elder took over his father's inheritance. Therefore, Ma Chao's answer here is to show that he has become an adult in power.
However, what he didn't expect was that these words hit the muzzle of the gun.
"The virtuous nephew has already performed the gift of a weak crown this year, and he has been married and married since then. Yi'er is as old as you, and she is married, so she will find an auspicious day another day, and she will hold the wedding. Dong Zhuo wantonly kneaded Liu Xiu's delicate body again, and said with a lewd smile.
When Ma Chao saw him like that, he really felt a little weird in his heart: Do you know that your daughter is going to be by someone else, and you can't wait?
But then. Ma Chao reacted a little: he must not marry Dong Yi!
Let's not say that I don't like Dong Yi at all, let's talk about the meaning of this political marriage. It made Ma Chao feel terrible: first, he became Dong Zhuo's son-in-law. The entire Yongzhou may be infiltrated and encroached upon by Dong Zhuo; Second, Dong Zhuo's current reputation is pointed out by thousands of people and hated by scholars, which is in great conflict with his policy of humanization of martial artists; Third, Dong Zhuo is a short-lived ghost, and he disappeared in this year in history. I don't want to be buried with him!
"However, a few nights ago, a certain group was still a little puzzled why Meng Qi would assassinate Lord Taishan. It turned out that the son-in-law was showing his bravery to his father-in-law! Niu Fu laughed and said. After saying that, he drank a full glass of wine.
But Ma Chao knew that this was Niu Fu forcing himself to comply!
If he agrees to marry Dong Yi, it will be his son-in-law playing with his father-in-law; If he doesn't marry Dong Yi, then he will be assassinated as a court master!
Okay! Niu Fu, I didn't think about it. History, this unpopular guy, still has this means?!
Ma Chao's face was cold and hard, and he was thinking about how to fight back against Niu Fu. But he didn't want Li Ru to say at this time: "Lian Lian said that he laughed, Meng Qi was the attack of blood screaming that day, and he didn't deliberately assassinate the Taishi." ”
Ma Chao glanced back at Li Ru. His heart was only slightly relieved, but before he could breathe a sigh of relief, Li Ru continued: "It's just that the Manchu Dynasty was both civil and military that day, and Meng Qi also injured a lot of Taishi's subordinates, if there is no reasonable explanation, I'm afraid Taishi won't be able to explain to everyone......"
Li Ru of the dog day is worthy of the name of 'poisoner', and he is really ruthless!
"Hey, those rats, their martial arts are not proficient, how can they blame Meng Qi? As for the scholars, there is nothing to worry about. As long as Meng Qi and Yi'er get married, will they still take care of our Dong family's family affairs? Dong Zhuo finally made a qualitative decision on that incident, but in Ma Chao's ears, it was an ultimatum!
"Taishi, my father's new funeral has not been long ago, and his bones are not cold. So far, he has not even found his bones, and he feels sad and guilty. When it comes to getting married, I hope the master won't say much......" Ma Chao slowly said these words and looked at Dong Zhuo intently.
"Ma Mengqi!" Dong Zhuo slapped Liu Xiu away and shouted angrily.
"The Han Dynasty rules the world with filial piety, and the husband was born between heaven and earth, and he appointed his parents to fulfill filial piety for the son of man. Now that my father is dead and has not yet taken revenge, how can I talk about starting a family?! Ma Chao stood up proudly and did not take a step back.
"Ma Mengqi! You assassinate the imperial master, this is disloyal to the country, so, dare to talk about filial piety? Joke! Niu Fu got up and scolded Ma Chao angrily.
With a bang, Ma Chao smashed the wine bottle in his hand on Niu Fu's forehead: "Dog thief, repeatedly slandered me for assassinating the imperial master, as a general, you don't even know the disease of blood screaming?!" ”
Niu Fu was extremely angry, and he suddenly bullied himself and wanted to fight with Ma Chao. But the martial arts were too low, and he was kicked out by Ma Chao!
"Someone! Kill Ma Chao quickly! Niu Fu suffered this humiliation in public, and immediately shouted loudly.
"No!" Seeing this, Li Ru hurried out to stop Niu Fu, but before he could get up, he saw another wine bottle in a graceful arc and smashed on Niu Fu.
"Ma ......" Niu Fu was about to fight hard with Ma Chao, but he raised his eyes and saw that Dong Zhuo had already stood up, and the wine bottle on the case was gone. After comparison, it was found that the second wine bottle that smashed into him was actually Dong Zhuo's: "Taishan, why are you ......?"
"Dog thing, it's going to be embarrassing, get out of here!" Dong Zhuo roared, so frightened that Niu Fu raised his legs and ran. In the face of Ma Chao, Dong Zhuo was still angry: "Ma Mengqi, do you mean that the old man is forcing you to be unfilial?" ”
"I don't dare to be lowly, it's just a lowly marriage, and there is no parental life, so it is naturally up to the lowly to decide." Ma Chao bowed down to answer, but his tone was unusually firm.
"Presumptuous! Since ancient times, the prince of heaven and earth, the old man is the master of the dynasty, and the person who is at ease with his relatives deigns to marry his daughter to you, do you still feel wronged? Dong Zhuo overturned the case, which seemed to hurt his shoulders and became even more embarrassed.
Ma Chao stood straight, although he did not speak, his eyes were like knives, and he stabbed straight at Dong Zhuo, without the slightest hint of compromise.
"Meng Qi, now marrying the Taishi as a son-in-law can not only make Brother Shoucheng look at Jiuquan, but also make the world peaceful, why are you so stubborn?" Li Ru relied on his familiarity with Ma Chao, and stepped forward to persuade softly: "If the Taishi is angry and sends troops to Yongzhou, dare to ask you Yongzhou soldiers, may you resist?" Even if you can compete with the Han Heavenly Army, are you willing to watch the wolf smoke rise again in Yongzhou and Gyeonggi, and the lives will be ruined? ”
"If the Taishi is so disregarding the people of the world, a certain Yongzhou soldier is not a person who will be killed!" Ma Chao's words were cold, and he didn't give in half a step!
"Okay, good, good ......" Dong Zhuo seemed to have fallen into a state of rage, and was about to give the order to kill Ma Chao when he suddenly heard a miserable and helpless cry.
"Father, brother-in-law! Are you going to force Yi'er to death?! Dong Yi was already in tears this time, and the pear blossoms brought rain, and he was very sad and regretful. Seeing this, Dong Zhuo and Li Ru also seemed to be moved by compassion, and they all suppressed their anger and said nothing.
After a long time, Dong Yi sobbed his shoulders and looked at Ma Chao in a daze: "Meng Qi, you are so disgusted with Yi'er?" ”
Ma Chao has never seen a woman cry, especially Dong Yi who cried so sadly. Although he still doesn't have a good impression of Dong Yi in his heart, these days, Dong Yi seems to be really in love with himself. Under the soft-heartedness, Ma Chao naturally didn't dare to say that hurtful word again: "If this is not the case, Weiyang Jun has been taking care of him a lot recently, and he is super not a person with a heart of stone, and he naturally has a sense of guilt." Ran Chao already had a place in his heart, so he couldn't agree to it. ”
"What if she is a wife and I am a concubine?" Dong Yi didn't seem to think about it, and suddenly said this.
"Yi'er!" Dong Zhuo was in a hurry, and he was so angry that he pointed at Dong Yi and scolded: "My Dong family is so powerful, how can I be so low?!" ”
But Li Ru stood aside, looking at Dong Yi's back, and seemed to be a little stunned, but he smiled and said no more.
"So, so..... Let's think about it. Ma Chao was speechless: This Dong Yi, if you really die, you have to love?
After speaking, Ma Chao got up and left, without a trace of sickness.
And Dong Yi put away his pity for a moment, and the corners of his mouth skimmed out a mocking arc: Sure enough, women's tears are the most powerful weapon against men.
