History is moving forward. In March of the fifth year of Zhongping, Emperor Ling accepted Taichang Liu Yan's suggestion and changed some of the governors to prefectural governors, leaving them to the clan or important ministers——
Two royal family members, Liu Yan and Liu Yu, served as state shepherds. Huang Wan, a loyal son of the public clan, also served as state shepherds.
Only these three people, after all, the emperor did not lose his head and let more people have local military and political power. In fact, if it were not for the effective suppression of the remaining Yellow Turban party, how could the Ling Emperor have delegated power.
In this case, Ding Gong was only promoted to the post of governor of Bingzhou, but with the status of Cavalry Captain, this two thousand stone can be regarded as a high-ranking position.
It is the sixth year of Zhongping, early spring.
Bingzhou, showing off the power of the general's mansion.
The red tiles, white walls, and the roof decorated with owl tails stretch outwards. In the heavy snow, the mansion gradually retreats into seclusion, like a hermit's residence.
However, this has to ignore the various strange mountains and rocks that decorate the mansion, as well as the countless finely carved corridors with mullioned windows.
Frankly speaking, regardless of the floor space, the emperor's other palaces in various states are not as exquisite as this.
Then inside the house, the wind moved and shadows moved.
A man was waving a short halberd in his hand. No vision was manifested behind him, but the strong wind blowing down caused the rockery to crack into small cracks.
It was obvious that he was controlling his force so as not to hurt the person next to him.
At this moment, a woman was sitting in the pavilion, staring straight ahead, and for a moment she forgot about the frozen pear in her hand.
I saw her wrapped in a scarf, wearing a pleated hakama, and a woman disguised as a man.
Among them, hakama pleats are a foreign product, coming from nomadic peoples such as the Xiongnu. They are loved by farmers and warriors because they are very easy to move when wearing them. However, they are only limited to a few states located on the northern border. If someone goes to the Central Plains and someone wears them like this, it will be very strange. It may arouse criticism from some old masters.
However, Ding Qinyu did not dress like this for the sake of smooth action, let alone to truly dress up as a man——
She had obviously applied powder on her face, with willow eyebrows and vermilion lipstick, which made her look extremely charming. Moreover, wearing this kind of tight-fitting Hufu could bring out the beautiful curves of all parts of her body.
Frankly speaking, after getting tired of seeing her complicated attire with combed hair and layered brocade clothes, Lu Li felt that this simple and tough men's attire was really refreshing.
In addition, this time, Ding Qinyu seemed to have made a mistake in his rush. He did not wear boots, but instead wore soft-soled shoes worn by women.
Alas... what a sin.
Lu Li knew that Ding Qinyu did this deliberately. As for the purpose, of course it was to find something to say——
Once I remind her, she will definitely say, Sir, please correct it yourself.
The reason why I can expect this is because she has had a lot of experience. If there are outsiders present, Ding Qinyu knows how to restrain herself and pretend to be a lady. When the two of them are alone, she becomes extremely aggressive, especially After Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao escorted the marriage certificate over, things became even more troublesome.
According to the etiquette, men and women should not meet in private before the last step is completed, but etiquette is nothing to Miss Ding. If she has something to do, she will ask the maid to accompany her to visit the mansion. Lu Li said a few days ago that this is not a good idea. People will gossip about you.
I thought that by doing this, I could be clean for a while, but in the end, Miss Ding came to the door again.
At first, Lu Li was drinking tea in the front hall when he saw a figure wearing a robe from a distance. He thought it was a colleague coming to visit, so he hurried up to greet the guest, only to find that it was his fiancée who was disguised as a man. Her eyebrows were lightly swept and her cherry lips were moist. .
In fact, it is not difficult to guess what Ding Qinyu is thinking: Since etiquette prohibits women from showing up at will, then I will wear men's clothes. As the saying goes, if two rabbits are walking next to each other, how can they tell whether I am male or female?
"Lang Jun, are you done practicing?"
"Come here and eat frozen pears."
The gentle voice came, making Lu Li shudder, but he had to answer. In addition, in order to escape, he practiced the halberd in the ice and snow for a full hour. Ding Qinyu also accompanied him until now, and his lips were blue with cold. .
"Um."
After saying this, Lu Li put away the two short halberds in his hands, threw them into the frozen soil, turned around and walked towards the pavilion.
Time flies by like a flash. After the Yellow Turban Rebellion started by Guo Tai and others was put down, Bingzhou became extremely stable and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment——
The Xiongnu Zuobu and the Qiang people were very honest, and they even offered some sacred horses to please Ding Gong.
In comparison, other states and counties are like hell on earth.
Just as Lu Li had predicted before, the remnants of the Yellow Turbans lurking around the world were revolting one after another.
In April, the Yellow Turban Army of Gepi in Runan County rose again and captured the county.
In October, the Yellow Turban Army from Qingzhou and Xuzhou rose up to attack counties and counties.
In November, the Han court sent Bao Hong to attack the Gebei Yellow Turban Army, which was the most powerful. The two sides fought in Gebei, and Bao Hong's army was defeated.
Since the beginning of spring last year, various Yellow Turban tribes have risen up one after another, and their momentum is catching up with the first Yellow Turban Rebellion, causing great headaches for all the officials in the court.
In addition, there is the Heishan Army in Jizhou next door, Guoguo, Han Sui, Ma Teng in Liangzhou, Zhang Chun, Zhang Ju, and some foreigners in Youzhou. The rebellion continues. Looking at the world, the situation has become extremely bad.
Because of this, after escorting the marriage certificate for Lu Li, Zhao Yun made a special trip back to Changshan Kingdom to bring his brother and sister-in-law to Bingzhou.
During this period, Duke Ding also invited Hua Tuo to treat Zhao Jun's old illness. .
"What are you thinking about?" Ding Qinyu leaned over and looked up at Lu Li, who was frowning.
At this moment, Lu Li was sitting in the pavilion, staring at the ice in trance, not escaping, but thinking about the next month.
That's right, in one month, Emperor Lingxiao Liu Hong will control Long Bintian. By then, all the princes will gather in Luoyang.
Of course, being stared at so closely by a pair of eyes, Lu Li couldn't ignore it, so he simply confessed: "It's a big deal in the world."
He has been in this state for a while, either drinking with Zhao Yun, Lu Bu, and Zhang Liao, or polishing his martial arts, or staring at the ice in a daze.
I thought Ding Qinyu was used to it, but this time she hugged Lu Li uncharacteristically and said in a tired voice: "Don't think about it, we will finish the six rituals in two months."
In fact, the first five rites were all completed in the fifth year of Zhongping. Since Lu Bu was already married and was not suitable to be an envoy, Lu Li found his brother Zhang Liao and Zhao Yun, and the last step was scheduled for May, with all the generals in the state army. They all worked together to protect Lu Li's marriage. Let's not talk about whether there was anyone who was indifferent and actually came to steal the bride. This lineup alone gave Lu Li enough face.
In addition, the fortune teller did predict a good day. The emperor would die in April and marriages were forbidden. This did make Lu Li relieved, but it also made him feel deeply sorry for Ding Qinyu. Therefore, some of his daily actions that crossed the line , let her go.
