Chapter 500 I Killed Your Son, Why Don’t You Say Thank You? [Monthly Vote Requested]

"What kind of meat is this? It tastes weird."

Lu Bu took out a piece of meat from the casserole and ate it. It felt different from the common pork, beef, and mutton.

Mu Guiying picked up the serving chopsticks and diligently gave Zhou Ruotong and Diao Chan a piece each, then whispered:

"Tiger meat, to be precise, is the meat of the tiger demon... The three demons of Gongzhou in Journey to the West were beaten to death by the Taibaijin Star. Lao Zhang felt it was a shameful waste and sent the body to the World of Conferred Gods. Sister Yunxiao took care of it and put it away. The good meat close to the bone was given to the B&B, and I used it to stew some today.”

Hearing that it was tiger meat, a certain tiger-fighting hero couldn't help but recall the past:

"It's a pity that when I went to Jingyanggang, I didn't understand the real world. Otherwise, if I dragged that dead tiger here, I would have made you feast on it for several meals."

Li Yu: "..."

You're really not afraid of me getting caught, are you?

Zi Shou brought a large piece of prepared meat. It would be okay to eat it secretly, but if you get a tiger carcass with all beards and tail, if you are photographed later, you will not be able to eat at home for the first half of your life.

Yuwen Chengdu pays more attention to the trends in the Three Kingdoms:

"Does Liu Yan regard Liu Fan as his successor?"

Neither Lu Bu nor Liu Xie are very clear about this issue, because the spies sent by the imperial court to Yizhou have not yet played their role.

But Zhou Ruotong, who is good at history, knows very well:

"It was not Liu Fan, but the third son Liu Mao... If Liu Fan and Liu Dan had not been killed by Li Jue, and Liu Mao died of illness early, the throne of the Lord of Yizhou would not have fallen to the fourth son Liu Zhang."

Liu Yan gave birth to four children. The eldest Liu Fan, the second Liu Dan, and the fourth Liu Zhang all lived with the emperor. When he went to Yizhou to be the governor, he only took Liu Hao with him.

Not long after he arrived in Yizhou, he heard from several famous people who were good at fortune telling that the sister of Wu Yi, a famous person in Shu, had a noble appearance, so Liu Yan couldn't wait to come to propose marriage.

Normally, since the woman is a noble person, the eldest son should marry her, but Liu Yan did not do this and directly asked the third son Liu Hao to marry her, in an attempt to let the third son take advantage of the woman's luck.

However, Liu Mao died of illness within a few years of their marriage, and Wu became a widow.

Twenty years later, a man who had wasted half his life became the lord of Yizhou, married the widow Wu, and a few years later became emperor, and Wu became Queen Ji Hanmu.

The famous people in Shu were indeed right. The Wu family did have the appearance of a noble person.

But this noble person has nothing to do with Liu Yan's family. His nobility comes from Liu Xuande, Emperor Zhaolie of the Han Dynasty.

In the original work, Zhao Fan, a prominent family member in Guiyang, wanted to marry his wealthy widowed sister-in-law to Zhao Yun. At that time, Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei both persuaded Zhao Yun, but Zilong firmly refused.

Later, when he arrived in Chengdu, Liu Bei married the widowed Wu family, making a real impression on Zilong.

During the Three Kingdoms period, marrying a widow didn't seem to be a big deal.

Yuan Shao, who was based in Hebei Province, heard that Zhen's daughter was a noble woman, and made the same choice as Liu Yan, letting his favorite son Yuan Xi marry Zhen Mi.

But Zhen Mi's precious life eventually reflected on Cao Pi.

But the best thing is that after capturing Ye City, Ah Man heard that Cao Pi had captured Zhen Mi, and he said the eternal famous saying with hatred:

"This year the thief is becoming a slave!"

This quote comes from "Shishuo Xinyu", and it is difficult to determine whether it is true or not, but Ah Ma seems to have indeed missed Zhen Mi, because Kong Wenju, the famous Yin and Yang master of the Three Kingdoms, once wrote a letter to mock Cao Cao:

"In the past, King Wu defeated Zhou and gave Daji to the Duke of Zhou."

Cao Cao didn't know why, and asked specifically which book the allusion was from, but Kong Rong said quietly:

"It's natural to think about it today!"

Ah Ma was so angry that he almost chopped this guy into pieces.

In addition to Kong Rong's ridicule, Cao Pi's attitude towards his son Cao Rui can also reflect some clues.

Cao Pi was very kind to all his children, but he was indifferent to Cao Rui and was very cold. When he was seriously ill, he was very reluctant to let Cao Rui take over, but in the end the throne fell to Cao Rui.

Before Cao Cao's death, Cao Pi and Zhen Mi treated each other as if they were guests. Their relationship was not to mention harmonious, but at least it was reasonable.

But as soon as Cao Cao died, Cao Pi's attitude towards Zhen Mi changed a lot, and he even sent Zhen Mi to death. It's hard to imagine what kind of twists and turns there were.

Speaking of which, Cao Pi was quite miserable. He finally married a widowed daughter-in-law. His father was worried about her, and his younger brother was worried about her. I can't imagine his reaction when he saw the "Ode to the Goddess of Luo" written by his own brother.

However, Cao Pi at least maintained the friendship between brothers and did not do anything to Cao Zhi.

But after Cao Rui came to the throne, he didn't have a good face. From the day he ascended the throne, he began to torment his mother Cao Zhi. The fiefdom was changed again and again, and the salary was reduced again and again. It was not until Cao Zhi died that he gave up.

When he heard everyone talking about Zhen Mi, Lu Bu wanted to raise his hand and say:

"I have a little immature suggestion."

But considering that the eldest wife, the second wife and the third wife of the B&B are all here, and the food is still provided by the fourth wife, forget it, I don’t dare to wade in this kind of muddy water, let’s wait until we conquer Yecheng and see Zhen Mi. .

I don’t know if Liu Liang has met Zhen Mi. If not, you can go back and find Zhen Mi and tell her the comment "This woman is beyond words" in advance.

We, Lu Fengxian, not only want to be a military strategist, writer, scientist, reformer, and artist of the Han Dynasty, but we also want to improve our reputation as a great prophet and magician.

After all, we are the junior disciples of Wa Palace, so we cannot humiliate our sect.

Li Shimin looked at Liu Xie and asked:

"Brother Xie, what are you going to do with Liu Fan and the others?"

"Mr. Wenhe asked Guo Jia to conduct the trial first. After the review, he would bring up the Han Dynasty's national policy of ruling the world with filial piety, and execute Liu Fan on the grounds of unfilial piety, and then send an angel to send his head to Yizhou."

Yue Fei was a little confused:

"They all call him His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, why don't they punish him for treason?"

Zi Shou, who had been eating silently, took a sip of iced beer and said:

"Pengju doesn't know that the more it is at this time, the more he can't say that the other party is treasonous, because once he says it, Liu Yan will rebel even if he doesn't want to. His men will even prepare troops and sharpen their knives in Yizhou, which will not only waste people's money and labor, but also attract bandits from other places to join, and other princes will also respond, which will be extremely detrimental to the reputation of the court."

Liu Xie was helped to the throne by Dong Zhuo. Although he killed Dong Zhuo himself in the end, it is a stain anyway.

Once Liu Yan proclaimed himself emperor and rebelled, Yuan Shao of Jizhou, who was under great defensive pressure, might respond and have his men write an emotional manifesto to deny Liu Xie's legitimacy.

Although these things did not cause any waves, they would eventually affect the reputation of the court.

On the contrary, Liu Fan had just impeached his own father, and the court beheaded him for this reason. No one could find any handle. Even if Liu Yan knew, he could only swallow his anger.

He could raise an army quietly, but if he could not take advantage of the righteousness, other princes would not respond at all. It would not affect the reputation of the court at all, but would strengthen Liu Xie's legitimacy and the justice of sending troops.

Your child is not filial, I condescended to help you discipline him, but you not only did not appreciate it, but even raised an army to rebel... If I don't kill you, the people of the world will not agree.

Li Shimin picked up a piece of tiger meat for Yue Fei and said:

"Brother Fei, you are not suitable to be an emperor, so don't get involved in politics...Emperors have to portray themselves as victims. Look at Emperor Wen of Han, who killed his younger brother, elder brother, son, nobles, relatives, uncles... He killed all those who blocked his rule, but he was highly regarded in history. I am really far behind him."

Emperor Wen of Han killed so many people, but his image to the outside world was still that of a victim. It was because they interfered in the government that Emperor Wen of Han had to kill them.

And Li Shimin was scolded for thousands of years just to protect himself.

It's true that the emperor deserves death compared to the emperor, and the emperor deserves to be thrown away compared to the emperor.

Mu Guiying teased:

"Emperor Wen of Han rose from humble beginnings and could play the role of a white lotus. You are a reckless man who has been charging on the front line for many years. Even if you play the role of a white lotus, others have to believe it."

Li Shimin: "..."

It's my fault that I have strong military ability, right?

When the meal was almost over, Yue Fei packed up the leftovers and prepared to take them to Weizhou for the soldiers there to taste.

Before leaving, Li Yu asked:

"Does Xuande have any plans for Weizhou?"

"He asked my brother-in-law to govern first and not expand outward for the time being."

Now is not the time to expand the territory on a large scale. We must govern first, sort out production and people's livelihood, and firmly grasp the hearts of the people.

With the hearts of the people, expanding the territory will become much easier.

Zhou Ruotong asked:

"When will you hold the wedding?"

"My mother-in-law, my adoptive father has arranged the New Year's Day. In a few days, Taoist Gongsun will take me and my brother-in-law back, and then take Zhou Tong and Fan Xingping's family to Qilin Village for a collective wedding."

The weddings of Zhou Tong Xianglan, Shan Xiongxin Hu Sanniang, Yue Fei Li Wa, Zhang Fei Zhao Fujin, four couples were held together, which was absolutely explosive in ancient times.

Fortunately, everyone accepted the new ideas and not only did not resist such things, but even found them very novel.

After Yue Fei left, Liu Xie, Li Shimin, Qin Qiong, and Lu Bu all went back.

Li Yu stretched and asked Zhou Ruotong:

"Can I help you move your luggage upstairs?"

Zhou Ruotong said:

"Just move Xiao Chan's luggage upstairs, and take my luggage to Guanlan Mingshu... Is the fresh air in the room always on?"

"It's always on. Guiying and I just cleaned it the day before yesterday."

Zhou Ruotong glanced at Li Yu, and Li was so scared that he hurried to help Diao Chan move the suitcase.

When she left, Diao Chan only had a 25-inch suitcase, but when she came back, she had an extra 32-inch suitcase, which was still heavy to lift.

Mu Guiying joked with the little girl while unloading the car:

"I heard that those who dismember corpses like to use suitcases of this size the most."

Diao Chan clenched her fist and hit her lightly:

"Sister Guiying is so mean. I can't sleep at night so I knock on your door."

"Okay, okay, I was just thinking of sleeping with you... Tell me about your experience tonight. Every time I see your updates on WeChat Moments, I'm so envious."

Li Yu and Mu Guiying each carried a colorful suitcase and came to Room 201.

As soon as she entered the room, Diao Chan threw herself on the bed:

"Little bed, I'm back!"

Then she hugged the piggy pillow at the head of the bed and kissed it. After the kiss, she realized that Li Yu was also in the room, and her beautiful little face flushed.

Li Yu was about to pretend he didn't see it, but Mu Guiying spoke first:

"The real owner is here, why are you fighting with the pillow? If you have the guts, kiss your husband... Do you want me to show you how to do it?"

Diao Chan's face turned even redder:

"Sister Guiying is so mean... I don't have the guts."

The Queen was about to start a fight, but Li Yu quickly changed the subject:

"I'll go to the city later. You two can stay in the B&B tonight. Call me if you have anything to do. If you're hungry, go to the kitchen to find something to eat, or ask Guiying to make some noodles."

Mu Guiying made an OK gesture:

"Don't worry, husband, I will help you take care of the fairy cicada."

After that, she hugged Li Yu and whispered:

"I'm so afraid that Sister Zhou will be angry with me, you have to say a few good words for me."

Li Yu: "..."

Haven't you heard that you can't mention another woman in front of a woman?

He knew what the Queen was thinking, nodded and said:

"Don't worry, it's all right."

Mu Guiying let go of Li Yu, and pushed Diao Chan into Li Yu's arms:

"Don't be so reserved, or your husband will run away."

Diao Chan rubbed against Li Yu's arms, murmured:

"Sir, I miss you so much, without you around, I always feel like something is missing."

Li Yu held her in his arms:

"I miss you too after not seeing you for so many days."

Mu Guiying thought they would fall in love They kissed each other unconsciously, but they separated like this:

"Did I disturb you two?"

Diao Chan smiled and hit her:

"Sister Guiying, don't be weird... Sir, go accompany Sister Zhou, she misses you too."

"Okay, then I'll go to the city, you two be good."

Leaving room 201, Li Yu returned to his room to change clothes, and asked Dao Ge to look after the house, and then drove down the mountain with Zhou Ruotong to spend the night in the city.

Near Mianchi in the Three Kingdoms world, it was almost dawn when Lu Bu came back. He was too lazy to sleep, and it was still a bit early to travel now, so he simply practiced flying knives.

This time when he returned to Chang'an, he was thinking about building a signal tower near Mianchi, so he didn't go to Wuguan.

In addition, this way can also prevent the people of the Sun family from getting suspicious.

After all, compared with the wide road, the narrow mountain ravine of Wuguan looks too much like a place to destroy corpses and hide traces.

While practicing, Huang Gai got up and saluted when he saw Lu Bu:

"I didn't expect Wen Hou to get up so early. I admire you!"

Lu Bu smiled and said:

"I went to another world to attend the gathering of immortals. After returning, I simply didn't sleep... What do you think of the court? Is it different from the past?"

Huang Gai was looking for someone to share his experiences along the way, and said with deep emotion:

"Since entering Wancheng, I have felt that the world has changed. The people can actually read and write, go to the hospital for examination and prescription when they are sick, and watch movies at night. Every family has surplus food. It's incredible."

During the battle of Hulao Pass, he was also a member of the Luoyang well-washing team. At that time, everyone felt that the Han Dynasty was about to end, the country would no longer be a country, and the future would be an era of disputes among princes.

However, along the way, he found that the court was not about to end, but instead had a new vitality, and the people also enthusiastically supported it.

In this case, whoever wants to sing against the court again would really be crazy.

Fortunately, when I went to Wancheng last time, Lord Sun Jian did not fight with Wen Hou, otherwise there would be no place for the Sun family in the world.

In addition to Sun Jian's family, Huang Gai also thought about his own future.

Should I follow the Sun family and live in a muddle, or join the court to make achievements?

The spirit and weapons of the soldiers in Wancheng made Huang Gai very jealous, and he wanted to join them and experience the joy of winning a battle.

"Gong Fu, you and Huang Zhong and Huang Wan in Nanyang are all family members. Maybe you can work together to make achievements in the future."

Huang Wan is a direct descendant of Huang Xiang, while Huang Zhong, Huang Gai, and Huang Quan who served in Shu Han are branches of the Huang family. In essence, they are all from the Jiangxia Huang family.

Huang Gai knew Huang Wan, after all, he had served as the Taiwei and Sili Xiaowei of the current dynasty, and he was very famous.

But Huang Gai didn't know who Huang Zhong was.

"Huang Zhong and Huang Hansheng are both fierce generals in Nanyang. Their fighting power is not inferior to mine. Their son Huang Xu became my disciple a few months ago. When we arrive in Chang'an, I will introduce you to each other."

When the time comes, let Huang Xu call him uncle. You, Huang Gai, can't refuse, right?

This way, the relationship will be closer.

After daybreak, Lu Bu set up the signal tower, adjusted the data, and led the Sun family into Hangu Pass and headed towards Chang'an.

At the same time, in the car in Chang'an, Jia Xu hurried to the Secret Bureau without eating.

As soon as he got off the car, Guo Jia, with bloodshot eyes, came out to greet him.

"Have you investigated clearly?"

"I have completely understood. They did not win over the officials. However, the officials they won over did not report it. Instead, they helped to conceal the matter. I plan to observe those officials."

Jia Xu rubbed his temple and said:

"Everyone has their own little calculations. Don't worry about those people for the time being. Draft a memorial first, and announce the matter in the court later, and behead Liu Fan as a public display."

Guo Jia was well prepared:

"I have asked Kong Ming to write a memorial. Liu Fan, as a son, blames his father. This is contrary to the foundation of our Han Dynasty. So I ask Your Majesty to behead him to set an example..."

Jia Xu said:

"Let Kong Ming write another letter to Liu Yan in the name of Your Majesty to explain Liu Fan's evil deeds in Chang'an."

During the Three Kingdoms period, etiquette was emphasized. Even if someone killed someone's child, they had to write a letter to explain the reason for the killing.

For example, after Cao Cao killed Yang Xiu on the pretext of chicken ribs, he wrote a brilliant letter to the Grand Marshal Yang Biao, clearly stating the cause and effect, and also rewarded him with a bunch of gifts.

After receiving the letter, Yang Biao had to write a letter back to Cao Cao, not only praising Cao Cao for his good execution, but also thanking Cao Cao for helping to teach his son a lesson.

In short, killing Liu Fan and then writing to Liu Yan was in accordance with etiquette and not a provocation.

But it was hard to say what Liu Yan would think.

Jia Xu and Guo Jia sat on the commuter bus and chatted while going to the palace to attend court.

When they arrived at the gate of Weiyang Palace, they also met Xun Yu.

"Mr. Wenhe, if we start to stockpile war supplies in Hanzhong today, should the position of Hanzhong governor be changed?"

The current Hanzhong governor is Zhang Ji. With the war imminent, a person who can coordinate supplies is needed to sit in the rear. Zhang Ji was born as a military general and had never done similar logistics support work. Xun Yu was worried that something would go wrong.

Jia Xu thought for a while and said:

"Zhang Ji can be transferred to the court to serve as the chief architect, and will be responsible for the construction of the city in the future. As for the post of Hanzhong governor, I have already found a suitable candidate..."
