Cao Cao returned to Luoyang and Xun Yu was surprised when he returned to the Prince of Qin's Mansion.
After Xun Yu saluted Cao Cao, he asked, "The king is stationed outside Ziwu Road. Why did he return to Luoyang?"
Cao Cao sighed, mentioned the suggestions of Guo Jia, Xun You and Cheng Yu, and finally said: "When it comes to Cai Yan, I can only come back to make arrangements in person. Wen Ruo, do you think this is right or wrong?"
Xun Yu also fell silent.
No words were spoken for a long time.
After a while, Xun Yu said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, for the sake of friendship, it is indeed inappropriate to arrange for Cai Yan to marry. But for the country, this is a helpless move and the most correct thing."
"I understand that it is not easy for the king, so I support the king's decision."
"As for seeking peace and marriage, I suggested that Yang Biao be sent as an envoy. Yang Biao's son Yang Xiu was working in the Kingdom of Wu. Yang Biao went to see Lu Xuan several times and had a good relationship with Lu Xuan. It would be easier for Yang Biao to go there. "
Xun Yu said seriously: "Your Majesty really wants to talk to Cai Yan so that she can be mentally prepared in advance."
Cao Cao nodded and was about to speak when he suddenly noticed that Xun Yu's temples had a frosty color. He sighed: "Wen Ruo, you are getting old too. I remember you are only thirty-six years old this year, right?"
Xun Yu looked relaxed and said with a smile: "I only have gray hair in middle age, so it doesn't matter. Many people have gray hair in their youth, which leads to premature aging. At my age, it's not worth mentioning that I have a few gray hairs."
Cao Cao said: "Thank you for your hard work Wenruo."
Xun Yu shook his head and said with a relaxed look, "It's not hard for me."
Cao Cao changed the topic and asked, "Has anything happened in Luoyang these days?"
Xun Yu replied: "Nothing happened in Luoyang involving the battle between the king and Lu Xuan. Even the former emperor's people fully cooperated. Because everyone knows that once Lu Xuan defeats the king, the dynasty may really change."
"The king is the king of Qin, but he respects the Han Dynasty."
"The king is in charge, maintaining the emperor's majesty and maintaining the continuation of the Han Dynasty. If Lu Xuan dominates the world, he will inevitably destroy the Han Dynasty."
Xun Yu said with emotion: "Many officials attacked the king and said that the king was wanton. But without the king, the Han Dynasty would have perished long ago. This is indisputable."
Cao Cao also laughed.
It's not easy to hear Xun Yu's praise.
Cao Cao looked slightly relaxed and said: "The emperor is quite sensible. In this case, I will ignore the emperor for the time being, but the supervision cannot be relaxed."
Xun Yu nodded and stood up to make arrangements.
Cao Cao called Cao Ang again and asked again about the situation in Luoyang.
Cao Ang became more and more stable. He handled government affairs on behalf of Cao Cao and was recognized by all officials. After Cao Ang reported to Cao Cao one by one, Cao Cao commented on Cao Ang's arrangements for handling government affairs one by one before letting Cao Ang retreat.
Cao Cao sat there for a long time, finally took a deep breath and ordered someone to invite Cai Yan to the palace to discuss matters.
Cao Cao sat in the hall and waited quietly.
Today's weather is getting colder and colder.
On his way back to Luoyang, Cao Cao found that it had snowed on some mountains and was covered in snow everywhere. This year's winter has become even colder. Fortunately, Cao Cao has been living in the north and has long been accustomed to the current weather.
Not long after, there was a sound of footsteps. Cao Cao looked up and saw a beautiful woman wearing a white dress and a big cloak coming in.
The person who came was clearly Cai Yan.
She is well-educated, elegant and indifferent, giving people a feeling of intellectual elegance. She entered the hall, stood still, saluted and said, "King Qin."
Cao Cao waved his hand and said, "Xiannie, sit down."
Cai Yan sat down without being humble or arrogant, and said proactively: "Last time, thanks to King Qin's sponsorship, I was able to buy my father's book collection. Thanks to King Qin's guidance, I was able to buy it back at a lower price."
Cai Yan didn't understand the prices in the market at all.
She doesn't pay attention to these. She only pays attention to everything in the book and only likes to study classics and articles.
With Cao Cao's guidance, Cai Yan negotiated the price with the merchant and showed that he would not buy it unless the price was reduced, and finally bought back the book collection at a low price.
Cao Cao stroked his beard and said, "Just buy back Duke Bojie's collection of books. You will finally live up to Duke Bojie."
Cai Yan nodded and stopped talking.
Cai Yan was wary of the Prince of Qin's Mansion, and the fewer connections he had with the Prince of Qin's Mansion, the less trouble he would have.
Seeing that Cai Yan was silent, Cao Cao took the initiative and said: "Xiannie has been living alone these years. It is not appropriate to always be like this, especially when you are older. You should find someone to marry, so that you can live up to your parents. No Disgrace our ancestors.”
Cai Yan said tactfully: "I'm fine being alone. I have no thoughts of getting married for the time being."
Cao Cao looked calm and continued: "You are young now, you can be willful, and you can enjoy the comfort and ease of being alone. But what will you do when you get older? When there is no man in the family to support you, anyone in the Cai family can bully you. .”
"Uncle Bozhe has no children. Apart from you, your sister is married and has a family, but you are still alone."
"A woman must marry after all."
Cao Cao looked serious and said with almost no doubt: "When you get married, you have someone to rely on and have children under your knees to have a future. Although the Cai family has no children, the blood of the Cai family must still be continued."
Cai Yan's face was very solemn.
Cao Cao's words, both inside and outside, were unquestionable, and he had an attitude that the marriage was finalized.
She has refused.
However, Cao Cao ignored her refusal at all.
Cai Yan was silent for a moment and asked: "Which family's son did King Qin choose?"
Cao Cao said in a deep voice: "King Wu Lu Xuan."
"Lu Xuan?"
Cai Yan was immediately surprised.
An expression of disbelief appeared on her delicate and beautiful face. She has always stayed close to the front door, has always been deaf to what is going on outside the window, and does not care about things outside. However, she also knows that Lu Xuan is the leader of the Wu Kingdom, and he is the person who controls most of the world.
Cai Yan looked at Cao Cao with a puzzled expression and asked, "Is King Qin joking?"
Cao Cao said: "When did I, the king, joke?"
Cai Yan was puzzled, looked at Cao Cao, and asked: "The King of Wu is the master of one party, so it is not appropriate for me to marry him."
Cao Cao said firmly: "Xiannie, Lu Xuan is the most suitable person and your biggest supporter. The matter is settled like this, just be prepared."
Cai Yan planned to continue, but when she looked at Cao Cao, she saw that Cao Cao today was different from ever before.
overbearing!
Strong!
It's as sharp as a knife.
Cao Cao's attitude was as if Cai Yan would be forced to make arrangements if he didn't agree.
Cai Yan sighed in his heart and said, "Everything is troublesome to King Qin."
Cao Cao nodded and said, "Go."
Cai Yan left Prince Qin's Mansion in a bad mood because she didn't know Lu Xuan and didn't know Lu Xuan's situation.
She returned to her residence and thought about Lu Xuan.
Lu Xuan competes with Cao Cao and Yuan Shao. I'm afraid Lu Xuan and Cao Cao are about the same age, they are forty or fifty years old. She was angry in her heart, why did Cao Cao arrange for a man whose body was about to be buried?
In the end, Cai Yan arranged for someone to find out about Lu Xuan. Not long after, Cai Yan's maid hurried back, looking a little surprised, and reported: "Lu Xuan's identity has been found out."
Cai Yan said: "Tell me about it."
The maid reported: "Lu Xuan's age should be around 27 or 28 years old. He may be younger. He should be a few years older than you, girl."
Cai Yan was surprised when he heard this.
She stared at the maid and asked in surprise: "Lu Xuan is the leader of one party, how young is he?"
The maid nodded hurriedly, looking surprised, and replied: "Lu Xuan is very young, and eight feet tall, with sword-shaped eyebrows and sharp eyes. He is outstanding. In addition, Lu Xuan has great literary talent and unparalleled poetry."
Immediately, the maid took out a book and handed it over, with poems written by Lu Xuan on it.
Cai Yan is a literary and artistic woman. After hearing the poem, she suddenly became interested. She opened the book, and after reading Lu Xuan's poems, a strange light appeared in her beautiful eyes, and a look of wonder appeared on her delicate face.
After a long time, Cai Yan finished reading and said with emotion: "I didn't expect Lu Xuan to be so gifted and talented."
At this moment, the resistance in her heart weakened a lot.
Young!
Talented!
And he is also handsome and handsome.
Such a man is better than many people in the world. What made Cai Yan closest to him was that Lu Xuan was talented. Such a person has outstanding talents, and you can have an in-depth discussion and exchange with her.
The maid continued: "Girl, I heard someone said that Lu Xuan has the biggest problem."
Cai Yan asked: "What's wrong?"
"Lu Xuan is lustful."
The maid's eyes shone, and she said with a gossipy look: "I heard that Lu Xuan married all beauties. As long as they were beautiful women, Lu Xuan would not let them go. Cao Cao's daughter married Lu Xuan, and she even lost her husband. Emperor Liu Bian’s concubine Tang Ji also married Lu Xuan.”
"I heard that there are Yangzhou Jiangdong Er Qiao, Xuzhou Mi Huan, Jizhou Zhen Mi, and the former Diao Chan. These stunning women are all Lu Xuan's women. In short, Lu Xuan is a very lustful person."
There was no fear in the maid's eyes, but curiosity.
Cai Yan nodded.
She didn't think much about this matter. Among men in the world, especially men in power, who doesn't have wives and concubines?
Too normal.
Who doesn’t like a stunning woman?
Cai Yan suddenly thought of herself. Cao Cao took the initiative to marry her to Lu Xuan. Was it because Lu Xuan was lustful and wanted to please Lu Xuan?
The maid suddenly asked: "Girl, do you know what Lu Xuan does?"
Cai Yan shook his head and said, "It's nothing."
"You go down."
Cai Yan waved her hand. After the maid left, she thought about Lu Xuan in her heart. After she understood it clearly, she lost her previous resistance and opened the book in her hand again. Reading the poems, a smile appeared on her face.
Interesting souls are always one in a million!
