Chapter 221: Cao Ang's wedding
Xu Du was filled with a sense of joy at this time.
Not only because Prime Minister Cao Cheng returned from the Eastern Expedition to Xuzhou, but also because Prime Minister Cao Cheng's son is about to marry Princess Wannian!
Talented people are matched with families, and beautiful women are matched with heroes!
Cao Ang, the son of Prime Minister Cao, is not only a talented man, but also a hero stationed in Xudu, so although the person he married was the high-ranking princess of Wannian, there was no objection from the people.
As for the hundred officials in the court, whether it is the party of the Son of Heaven or the party of Cao Cao, there is no rejection of such a combination.
Just because they all know that the combination of Cao Ang and Princess Wannian will only ease the relationship between the two forces.
At present, the party of the Son of Heaven needs to avoid Cao Cao, who is in his prime, and Cao Cao's party does not dare to try to be poor, so the two sides are unexpectedly supportive of such a marriage.
As for the other Haoqiang clans, they are very much in favor of this marriage.
You must know that if it weren't for Cao Ang, I'm afraid that the two wealthy clans of Taiwei Yang Biao and Cavalry Captain Sima Fang would have been eradicated by Cao Cao.
After taking refuge after destroying the fortune and eliminating the disaster, Cao Cao really did as Cao Ang promised them, and did not continue to investigate how Liang Xing's 5,000 army came to Xudu unknowingly.
Out of gratitude to Cao Ang, the heads of these clans also sent their heads to congratulate them.
Sima Fang of the Sima family, Yang Biao of the Yang family, plus Xun Yu, Xun Yu, Guo Jia and others from Yingchuan beside Cao Cao, although it was a wedding held in a hurry, it was not cold at all.
In addition to these literati, various generals around Cao Cao also came to help Cao Ang at this time.
Among them, the generals were led by the two brothers Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Dun, and a large number of Xiahou and his party all came to Xudu.
Some of them are because of Cao Ang's identity, and it is good to take the initiative to do it to him, while some people are also because they have several complicated relationships with Cao Ang.
Just like Xiahou Dun who went east to Xuzhou before, he was blind in one eye in the battle of Xuzhou, and even his eldest son was killed in battle, but he did not flinch, and even handed over his son Xiahou Nan to Cao Ang.
Just like his eye-licking move, this move is also admired by everyone.
Even Cao Ang himself, every time he saw Xiahou Nan, who had a little bit of Xiahou Chong's outline, he felt a little guilty in his heart, and felt that he was ashamed of Xiahou's family.
In addition to this Xiahou clan, Han Xian Yang Feng, who was persuaded by Cao Ang to surrender before, has also come to this Xu capital now.
It is not difficult to guess their intentions, perhaps they plan to take advantage of this opportunity to stand by Cao Ang's side and plot for perhaps greater benefits.
For a while, the whole Xu was not lively.
It is precisely because many high-ranking and powerful people have poured into Xudu that they dare not slack off as the full favor of Xuchangling for the security in this Xudu City.
Thanks to his efforts, nothing else happened in Xu Capital City during this time.
Seeing that time passed day by day, it soon came the day of the wedding of the prince Cao Ang and Princess Wannian, and that night under the close escort of this tiger guard, Princess Wannian went back to the Cangwu Palace.
All this is extremely secret, and no one knows about it, even if there are other people with ulterior motives who are suspicious, but with the arrival of the marriage date of these two, no one dares to say anything.
And late at night on the night when the princess of Wannian was sent back to the Cangwu Palace, a fast horse was running from afar, and finally came to the outside of Xudu before dawn.
The next day, Cao Fu.
"Childe, today is your big day, I don't know how many people are staring at you, but there can be no more mistakes!"
At this time, Cao Ang, under the service of Xiahou Qingyi, changed into a festive red robe, and Guo Jia, who didn't like to be verbose very much, couldn't help but remind him at this time.
He knew that Cao Ang was an arrogant person who didn't care about the opinions of others, and it was precisely because of this that he couldn't help but remind him that this marriage was extremely important.
Listening to Guo Jia's repeated reminders to himself for the first time, Cao Ang also laughed.
"Haha! Bonghyo, what are you worried about? Didn't you see this son getting married, and you were also ape? Could it be that the matter between you and Miss Dong has not yet been settled? ”
Seeing that Cao Ang was talking and talking, and then talking about himself, Guo Jia's face immediately showed a little shame, and finally he didn't say anything else, so he could only leave in a hurry.
Xiahou Qingyi next to him couldn't help but laugh when he saw such a scene.
"Childe looks so good in this groom's official clothes today, and he is also a perfect match for Princess Wannian, in the light clothes, it is really a match made in heaven, but unfortunately it is a fake ......"
Xiahou Qingyi and Xiahou Juan have been tired of being with Liu Qin for the past month, so Cao Ang and Liu Qin's marriage is just a political need, and these two also understand, so Xiahou Qingyi is so lost.
And looking at the little girl in front of him who seemed to be extremely disappointed, Cao Ang couldn't help but make a joke at this time.
"What is a pity for the little girl, the princess of ten thousand years is too arrogant, my son and her can't get along, if you really want to marry her, your son might as well marry a little girl like you!"
Seeing that all his big red robes were tidied up, Cao Ang even ignored the shy Xiahou light clothes in front of him, and walked out of Cao's mansion with a smile.
At the gate of this Cao Mansion, the Tiger Guard generals Dian Wei and Cao Anmin left and right at this time, respectively with Cao Ang's cronies and the Tiger Guard brought by Dian Wei, and left the Cao Mansion together, preparing to go to the Cangwu Palace outside the city.
As long as the princess Wannian is welcomed back to Cao Mansion from Cangwu Palace, such a marriage can be regarded as a successful conclusion.
Because of this, Cao Cao, who was afraid that this matter was not a little worse, sent Dian Wei and Huwei over.
The procession to greet relatives was mighty, and the people on both sides of the road were clustered on both sides, chanting congratulatory words together.
On both sides of the welcoming procession, there are also many soldiers of the Cao family who distribute five-baht copper coins, although it is not much, but it is also extremely festive.
Under this piece of jubilation, there was a person with a worried face, as if he had noticed something, and hurriedly rode his horse and galloped wildly, and came directly to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
This person has a noble identity, and he came all the way to the Prime Minister's Mansion, but no one stopped him, even Xu Chu let him enter Cao Cao's room, and it was Cheng Yu, the strategist next to Cao Cao.
It's just that at this time, Cheng Yu's face showed a little panic, and he hurriedly came to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and directly told Cao Cao, who was about to leave the Prime Minister's Mansion and go to Cao Ang's mansion in front of him.
"Prime Minister! Only then did the soldiers come with the exact news that the daughter of Lu Bu, whom Gongzi Cao loved, appeared outside the city of Xudu! ”
