The father of the country, Dong Cheng, had been waiting for Chen Zhou's arrival at home.
After waiting for a short time, they went to pick up Chen Zhou's carriage and slowly came to the gate. Then Chen Zhou got off the car. When he entered the door, he saw that Dong Cheng had prepared the banquet. Dong Cheng was very enthusiastic.
"Wat it!"
Seeing Chen Zhou enter the door, Dong Cheng greeted him warmly and said with a smile: "I have wanted to invite you back for a long time, but it is not easy to meet you!"
Chen Zhou pretended to be enthusiastic, but said a little hypocritically: "Now that the world is divided among the heroes, I still want to follow the army to pacify the world. It is normal that the head of the state can't see me. Isn't that why I'm here tonight?"
Dong Cheng no longer dwelled on this, and laughed and said: "Please come inside when crossing over."
Together they entered the hall.
Of course Dong Cheng sat on the host's seat and invited Chen Zhou to sit down.
In the hall, the sound of silk and bamboo sounded.
It can be seen that Dong Cheng is still a person who knows how to enjoy.
When he was in Chang'an or Luoyang, he actually didn't have the comfort and enjoyment here. In his opinion, Cao Cao was actually a good person, but they had conflicts of interest with Cao Cao.
There is only one emperor, and everyone wants to get the emperor. This is where the conflict begins.
After sitting down, Chen Zhou looked around for a while. The strings and bamboos were ringing, and the drinks were served, but the banquet seemed not to have started yet, and other preparations were not in place. He asked, "Does the state leader have any other guests?"
"Watatsuki guessed it right!"
Dong Cheng smiled slightly and continued: "There is another guest with a special status. Watari will be able to see him later."
Chen Zhou was confused, and then thought to himself, it turned out that he was not simply invited back. He was curious about who the guest was. With Cao Cao's status, he was not worried about what Dong Cheng would do to him.
"Then I'll wait."
Chen Zhou said calmly.
The waiting time doesn't take long either.
"Princess Xiangcheng is here!"
A shouting sound sounded outside.
It turned out that the guest was Princess Liu Ling of Xiangcheng.
Chen Zhou had just received the news of the marriage. In the evening, Dong Cheng picked him up and let Liu Ling come to the banquet. The meaning was obvious.
Dong Cheng must have conspired with Liu Xie to turn himself into a family.
Use Princess Xiangcheng's method to poach others, or seek more benefits.
"They have put a lot of effort into certain things, but unfortunately...that's all!" Chen Zhou thought to himself.
That's really all.
It is impossible for Chen Zhou to betray Cao Cao. The entire Han Dynasty is the safest under Cao Cao. Princess Xiangcheng cannot make him rebel. There are some things that Liu Xie and the others can only think about!
"But their plan is very clumsy." Chen Zhou was thinking again.
Hearing that Princess Xiangcheng was coming, Dong Cheng hurriedly went out to greet her.
Chen Zhou had no choice but to follow him. As soon as they walked out of the hall, they saw Liu Ling walking slowly, and they had to bow.
"Governor, sir."
Liu Ling was very ladylike and elegant. At this moment, she smiled with an impeccable smile and said, "You don't need to be polite. It's me who is being rude. It took me so long to come."
Dong Cheng smiled and said: "Princess is not too early or too late. The banquet is about to begin. Please go inside quickly."
Chen Zhou followed and returned to the hall together.
Dong Cheng's seating arrangement was also very clever, with Liu Ling sitting next to Chen Zhou.
Liu Ling understood what Dong Cheng meant, and recalled what the emperor's brother had said to him today, saying that the marriage was going smoothly. Finally, he glanced at Chen Zhou next to him, and his cheeks suddenly felt dizzy.
She will not object to Chen Zhou at all, but thinks that Chen Zhou is very good.
As a woman who cannot decide on her own marriage, marrying Chen Zhou is actually much better than marrying another unknown future husband.
At least Chen Zhou is really nice and we met him before getting married.
After they sat down, the banquet was finally served.
The drinks were ready, and other dishes were served immediately following Dong Cheng's words.
Dong Cheng, as the owner of this place, was very enthusiastic and asked Chen Zhou not to be polite. After eating and drinking for a while, he said, "Du Zhi should get the news. Your Majesty will grant you a marriage to the princess, right?"
After hearing such direct words, Liu Ling's pretty face turned even redder.
Chen Zhou pretended to be a little embarrassed and even nodded with a blushing face.
Dong Cheng added: "Your Majesty asked me to make arrangements for Du Zhi and the princess to meet again and arrange to get married as soon as possible."
Chen Zhou raised his wine glass and said gratefully: "Thank you, Mr. Dong Guozhang."
After finishing a glass of wine, he looked at Liu Ling beside him and said softly: "The princess won't object?"
Liu Ling shook his head.
By this time, the marriage had been granted, and Liu Ling could not object.
"Watazuki and the princess are so talented and beautiful, they are a perfect match!"
Dong Cheng laughed loudly, feeling extremely satisfied that he could bring them together.
Liu Ling was even more ashamed.
Chen Zhou smiled generously and drank with Dong Cheng again.
When he was almost drunk, Dong Cheng called Chen Zhou out and said quietly: "Du Zhi, you are a capable person. It is said that Xuzhou can be pacified and the traitor Yuan Shu can be defeated. Your contribution is indispensable behind this."
He was a little drunk and spoke very casually.
And what I said was from my heart.
Chen Zhou nodded and said, "These are what I should do."
Dong Cheng added: "Then I might as well put it more directly. Now the Han Dynasty is in disarray and the heroes are divided. Your Majesty is also helpless. I want to help the Han Dynasty, but I can't keep up. I can only rely on crossing!"
Chen Zhou solemnly said: "My intention is also to pacify the world. Cao Sikong is devoted to the Han Dynasty. I work under him, and Cao Sikong has the same intention."
What he said was to pacify the world, not to help the Han Dynasty, but Dong Cheng didn't care about these details.
"No!"
"It's still different!"
"Cao Sikong... definitely has different intentions and is different from me."
"I'm serious. In order to support the Han Dynasty, Cao Sikong probably waited for the world to be peaceful before replacing him. At that time, there was no Han Dynasty anymore."
"Watatsuki is a smart man, do you understand what I mean?"
"Your Majesty married my sister just to win over you and serve the Han Dynasty, not Cao Sikong."
Dong Cheng’s words were already very direct.
I don’t know if I said that on purpose or if I was drunk and just talking nonsense.
It is also possible to use the excuse of drunkenness to pretend to speak the truth while drunk and say these words.
"I know!"
Chen Zhou had no choice but to cooperate.
"What do you think about Watanabe?"
Dong Cheng asked again immediately.
Chen Zhou decided to deceive Dong Cheng first. Anyway, the incident of the Clothes Order was not far away. He cooperated and said: "My thoughts are the same as those of the abbot."
"Okay, haha..."
Dong Cheng laughed and realized that it was so simple to win over Chen Zhou.
However, he believed that it must be Chen Zhou who understood justice.
To understand the world, the Han Dynasty is the best.
When he uses the name of the Han Dynasty to completely win over Chen Zhou, with Chen Zhou's assistance, he can accomplish many things and finally expel Cao Cao.
Then, he will become the next Cao Cao.
In fact, it is possible to become Dong Zhuo.
At this point, no one wants to be in power, but his thoughts and ideas are more obscure.
