Chapter 10: Dong Chong's apology
"Liu Hou, it was a certain rude that day. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
In the palace of the Empress Dowager Dong, Dong Zhong apologized to Liu Bei with an unhappy face.
Although Dong Zhong served as a hussar general, he had no extra military power in his hands except for the private soldiers and rangers in the palace.
On the other hand, Liu Bei, not to mention the guards who brought to escort Liu Ying, had 200 cavalry and 520 halberds in his hands.
Liu Beiyi's younger brother Guan Yu was transferred to the military academy lieutenant, and the eight lieutenants of the West Garden each led a school of people, Jian Shuo was only the nominal governor of the eighth colonel, but Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Bao Hong, and Chun Yuqiong had already privatized the people of their own school, not to mention that after Guan Yu showed his chest muscles in Xijiang, he had won the hearts of the people in the lieutenant department of the military academy.
Looking at Cai Yong again, Cai Yong served as the captain of the guard, in charge of the two palace guards and the gate of the north city.
It can be said that in this capital, anyone who wants to rebel can't bypass Liu Bei, provided that Liu Bei can control Jin Wuwei and Wei Weiwei before the death of Emperor Ling.
Liu Xie's desire to ascend to the throne is even more inseparable from Liu Bei's support, especially when Emperor Ling is about to die.
Emperor Ling is not dead, Empress Dowager Dong's position in Emperor Ling's heart has been infinitely raised, Liu Bei doesn't want to offend Empress Dowager Dong and her family to death, naturally it is a scene of hello, hello, hello, everyone.
Empress Dowager Dong and Liu Bei had an interview for the first time, and it ended perfectly when everyone did not go deeper.
"Actually, my mother was killed by Queen He."
After Liu Ying sent Liu Bei out of the palace, she suddenly dropped this inexplicable sentence.
Liu Bei looked at Liu Ying's disappearing back and was silent, how many people He Hou had killed, Liu Bei could ally with Empress Dowager Dong in this aspect alone, but the problem was that He Jin controlled most of the public opinion in the world and most of the military power in the capital, and I am afraid that only Dong Zhuo could avenge this revenge!
Liu Ying ran into the palace before turning around, looking at Liu Bei's distant figure and face was hot, in fact, her actions just now were not a little tempting, you must know that she gave Empress Dowager Dong a beauty trick to win over Liu Bei.
Do I really want him to avenge himself? Liu Ying, you have to remember the promise you made when you were a child, if anyone can avenge your mother's revenge, you will marry whom?
But he's also a clan! Even if he avenges you, you can't marry him.
Liu Bei took the seal letter of Zhijinwu and went to Zhijinwu's mansion.
The two ministers, Hou, Sima, and Qianren were in front of the Jinwu Mansion, and when they saw Liu Bei coming from a hurry, they gave a salute.
Liu Bei got off the horse but found several familiar faces, Xu You, who had dealt with a few people, Jiang Yiqu, who escaped death, Zhu Ling, who had met once, and two strange big men.
With such a large specification, it seems that He Jin has already chosen a position for himself.
Liu Bei has been away from Beijing for two years, even if he repelled Xu You and others, but who guarantees that the armor who holds Jinwu will listen to him Liu Bei, I don't know what the situation of Cai Yong's guards is?
Liu Bei returned to the house after a little one or two in the Jinwu Mansion, with Xu You in charge, presumably Xu You would not give himself the opportunity to integrate the Jinwu Guard, and instead of fighting wits with Xu You, it would be better to go back to the mansion to protect himself.
After Liu Bei returned to the house, Guan Yu was waiting in the house, and there was also a small yellow gate to go to the West Garden to announce the decree, Guan Yu suddenly ascended to a high position, and naturally came to Liu Bei's mansion to show his loyalty.
Liu Bei looked at Guan Yu and suddenly remembered Cai Yu who he saw at Cai Yong's mansion that day, no matter how good the brotherly relationship is, it has to be maintained, and marriage is the most common one.
"Come with me to see Uncle Gong."
Guan Yu didn't understand why Liu Bei led him to see Cai Yong, but this was a good time for him to dispel Liu Bei's vigilance, so naturally he wouldn't refuse.
Cai Yong is still no longer in the house, Cai Gu opened the door, and Cai Gu was stunned when he saw Guan Yu: "Captain Guan, rare guest, please come in."
Cai Gu welcomed Liu Bei in, and the servants served tea.
Liu Bei took the tea bowl and said, "Uncle Gu, what do you think of my second brother?"
Cai Gu was completely stunned, what did Liu Bei mean by this?
"Loyalty and righteousness, outstanding martial arts, and outstanding military achievements."
Cai Gu was perfunctory, mainly trying to draw out Liu Bei's meaning.
"Yesterday, I was shocked when I saw my niece, it just so happened that my second brother no longer has a wife and concubine, and I don't know who can be matched with the niece of Ling?"
Liu Bei said in a deliberative tone, but his tone was somewhat unquestionable.
Cai Gu almost didn't bite his tongue, what? What is this? Then Cai Yu is the second brother who is ready to marry you, okay?
Cai Gu had a feeling that the sky was falling, but Liu Bei was chattering about Guan Yu's various goodness.
Guan Yu wandered the rivers and lakes for several years, killing people for a woman, if he said that he didn't want to marry a wife and have children, it was nonsense, since he became famous, he also asked someone to go back to Xie Liang to inquire about the man's news, but unfortunately there was no news.
Since then, Guan Yu has been practicing martial arts and learning the art of war, no one said it, but he has always thought about it, and now Liu Bei mentions the fiery tightness in his heart, but he doesn't know how Miss Cai's wife is?
Guan Yu was immediately relieved, Cai Yong is famous all over the world, how can his niece be bad? It's not enough to be a ranger with him.
Guan Yu has a natural inferiority complex in the face of wealthy families, and excessive inferiority complex will produce arrogance.
The sensitive Guan Yu saw that Cai Gu was silent for a long time, and his eyes that were originally happy gradually became cold, doesn't the Cai family look down on so-and-so?
"This matter has to be decided by the second brother."
At Cai Gu's exit, the atmosphere at the scene was extremely embarrassing.
Liu Bei looked at Cai Gu dissatisfied, didn't you want to pick a satisfactory husband for your niece yesterday? Before Guan Yu was just a Sima, maybe he insulted the Cai family, but now he is a lieutenant of the lower military academy, although there is water, Guan Yu is not yet thirty years old, and it is more than enough to be a general in the future, why is he not worthy of the Cai family?
Liu Bei knew that Guan Yu would be famous in the future, and he would be even more mythologized in later generations, but in the eyes of the Cai family at the end of the Han Dynasty, he was just a ranger who Liu Bei had collected.
"The master has returned home."
Cai Yong's return broke the embarrassment of the three of them, Cai Mao, Gu Yong and Cai Yong came back together, and Zhang Yun and Zhang He were integrating the guards and subordinates.
"What's wrong?"
Cai Yong took the initiative to speak when he saw that the atmosphere was not right.
Cai Gu hurriedly told Liu Bei about his proposal to Guan Yu, Cai Yong saw the cold-faced Guan Yu and the unswerving Liu Bei, and knew that if this matter was not handled well, the fragile Liu Cai alliance would fall apart.
Cai Yu was originally a wife room prepared for Liu Bei, how can he say it now, wouldn't it be to provoke the relationship between Liu Bei and Guan Yu?
Cai Yong had a headache for a while, his heart was ruthless, and he said, "What should I do?" There is nothing wrong with this, but my brother is not here, so I have to ask Yu'er's opinion. ”
Cai Yong was relieved, and Liu Bei also felt that he was a little reckless in this trip, and said: "In this case, it is better to let Ling niece and my second brother meet, if both of them can see it and talk about other things, if one of them is not happy with this matter, it will be invalidated, how about it?"
Liu Bei's concession made Cai Yong very happy, it seems that this matter today is really a misunderstanding.
However, a misunderstanding almost broke Liu Cai's alliance, and it seems that it is time to strengthen the foundation of the alliance, and the best way is to marry.
The eldest daughter has a marriage contract with the Hedong Wei family, and only the youngest daughter is left, but fortunately she dragged the request of the Nanyang Yang family, otherwise Cai Yong really would not have the ability to get another daughter out.
can think of the age gap between the youngest daughter and Liu Bei, Cai Yong feels that his head is big, and the eldest daughter is the right age to give it to Hedong Wei, although Wei Lao Er is sick, Cai Yong doesn't want to destroy his promise.
As for the second daughter, she has to wait for several years, and Liu Cai Alliance doesn't know how many waves it will make? It seems that we can only hope for Cai Yu.
Regardless of whether Cai Yu and Guan Yu succeed or not, they can no longer marry Liu Bei, otherwise it will cause Guan Yu's centrifugal departure.
