Wancheng, the residence of General Hussar, Sima Yi is immersed in military affairs in the official room. In June of this year, Cao Rui ordered him to go out of Zhenwan City and supervise the military affairs of Jing and Hezhou. As a result, he began to take charge of Cao Wei's military power in the middle and officially became one of the giants in Cao Wei's army. legacy
In this way, Cao Wei formed a pattern in which the four commanders were in charge of military power: Cao Xiu in the east, Sima Yi in the middle, Xiahou Mao in the west, and Cao Zhen staying in the capital. Except for Sima Yi, the other three were all relatives of the Wei State, so this was the first time that a general with a foreign surname Breaking the precedent of clan members serving as commanders.
Taking charge of the military and conquering the world is what Sima Yi has dreamed of for many years. Now that his long-cherished wish has been fulfilled, he is full of energy and is diligent in official duties every day, vowing to make great achievements.
Sima Yi felt a little tired, stopped writing and rubbed his neck, but he heard the guard outside the house calling in front of the door: "Captain, Liang joins the army to see you."
"Invite him in."
"I've met the governor several times." Soon, Liang Ji walked in and bowed.
Sima Yi smiled and said, "No courtesy, please sit down."
After Liang Ji sat down, Sima Yi said, "Shaowei is leaving for Shangyong today, right?"
"Back to the Governor, that's right. I'm almost ready to leave soon, so I came here to say goodbye to the Governor."
Sima Yi nodded and said, "Well, I won't say anything else. I've already told you what needs to be told before. Now I'll just remind you one more thing. To check whether Meng Da is rebellious, you don't necessarily need to find evidence, you just need to find clues. .
The proof is for the emperor to see, and I just need to confirm whether Mengda really shows signs of preparing to rebel, even if there is no evidence. Do you understand this? "
"Don't worry, Commander, I understand." Liang Ji said with cupped hands.
Sima Yi laughed: "That's good, go ahead, I won't send you off, please be safe."
"Yes, I resign from my humble position."
After Liang Ji left, Sima Yi walked to the map hanging on the wooden frame on the right, tapped the word Shangyong with his finger, sneered, and murmured to himself: "Meng Da, Zhuge Liang, huh, so-and-so is Let’s see what tricks you can come up with.”
The eighth day of August is auspicious and auspicious. This is the day when Yang Qing marries Xia Houyue. At this moment, Yang Qing's mansion is decorated with lights and colorful lights everywhere.
As General of Anhan, Prime Minister joining the army, Governor of Hanzhong, and Marquis of Linchang Ting, his marriage was a major event that caused a stir in the whole county. Not only local officials from Hanzhong were invited to attend, but many officials from the Prime Minister's Office and the army also came to congratulate. There was an endless stream of guests, and it was really lively.
Originally, Yang Qing only planned to invite some close friends and hold a simple wedding. Unexpectedly, after the news came out that he was getting married, a lot of people came to send gifts and congratulations. He had no choice but to rearrange the invitations and change them to a grand ceremony. Feast.
Fortunately, Ma Su, Guan Xing, Yang Xi, Liu Yin and others helped him, so he didn't panic and today's wedding could be held as scheduled.
"Mingzhi, the guests have almost arrived. Shouldn't it be time to go and pick up the bride? So as not to miss the good time." In front of the mansion, Guan Xing said to Yang Qing.
Yang Qing said: "Wait a little longer, the prime minister hasn't arrived yet."
"That's right. It's really inappropriate to wait for the Prime Minister. I think the Prime Minister will be here soon."
As soon as Guan Xing finished speaking, dozens of sergeants passed by on the street in front of him, holding a carriage and approaching slowly. The soldiers were holding a guard of honor for the Prime Minister.
"Look, Prime Minister and the others are coming." Guan Xing recognized the leader at a glance as Zhuge Qiao and shouted loudly.
When all the guests heard that the prime minister had arrived, they all came out to greet him. Zhuge Qiao turned over and dismounted, and then went to the side of the carriage to help a middle-aged scribe in blue robes. The scribe held a feather fan and shook it gently. It was Zhuge Liang, the current Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty.
"See you, Prime Minister." Everyone bowed and saluted.
Zhuge Liang smiled and said, "Today is a happy day, so you don't need to be polite."
Yang Qing stepped forward and said to Zhuge Liang and Zhuge Qiao: "Prime Minister, Bo Song, your arrival has really made Qing Peng Piper shine."
"Haha, the whole Hanzhong knows about your wedding, how can I still sit on Xitan Mountain?" Zhuge Liang said with a smile. legacy
Zhuge Qiao also cupped his hands and said, "Brother, congratulations." He was not because of
Zhuge Guo had some grudges about Yang Qing's marriage, but his words were still full of sincerity.
Yang Qing nodded solemnly, held his hand and replied happily: "Thank you Bo Song."
"Prime Minister, Bo Song, we won't stand here anymore. Let's go in and talk." Yang Qing extended his hand to invite and continued.
So Zhuge Liang ordered Zhuge Qiao to send a congratulatory gift, which was a congratulatory message inscribed by him himself, and Zhuge Qiao sent two pairs of jade pieces. There is also an embroidery made of Shu brocade. The exquisite pattern on it is a lotus flower, which is Zhugeguo's gift.
A few days ago, Zhuge Guo left Hanzhong and returned to Chengdu. When seeing her off, Yang Qing did not show up, but hid in the distance and silently watched her leave. The two of them had already spoken, and it would be better not to see each other.
Everyone embraced Zhuge Liang and entered the mansion. At this moment, the auspicious moment had arrived. Yang Qing, dressed in red robe and riding a tall horse, went to the house next door to marry Xia Houyue.
After burning incense, three maids holding red candles entered the house first. The bride and groom, Yang Qing and Xia Houyue, followed slowly side by side. They came to the lobby and bowed to the guests. legacy
After that came the marriage ceremony. This ceremony was supposed to involve the parents of the two newlyweds personally giving wine to the couple and warning them about the responsibilities they should bear after the marriage. However, the parents of Yang Qing and Xia Houyue were not present, so Zhuge Liang performed the ceremony. Yang Qing's elders and Xia Houyue's aunt completed it together.
Then they performed the Worshiping Ceremony, the Tonglao Ceremony, the Couple-Nation Ceremony, and the Untying and Hair Ceremony. Finally, in the midst of cheers, they completed the first worship ceremony of heaven and earth, the second worship of the high hall, and the couple's worship of each other.
In this way, the entire wedding ceremony was completed, and Yang Qing and Xia Houyue officially became husband and wife.
Then the wedding banquet started, everyone kept toasting to congratulate, and Yang Qing also toasted frequently in return. Zhuge Liang said goodbye and left after having a cup of wedding wine. He is busy with official duties and cannot stay long, and if he stays here, no one will let him go.
Yang Qing personally sent Zhuge Liang to the door of the mansion. Before getting on the carriage, Zhuge Liang smiled and said, "You're not drunk, are you? Don't go to the mansion for work these days. I'll give you five days off and spend time with your newlywed wife at home."
"Yes, thank you Prime Minister." Yang Qing said gratefully.
Zhuge Liang said again: "But after five days, you have to turn your mind back to business. It is already August, and the day of dispatching troops is not far away. Okay, you go back and greet them, I'm leaving. That's it." After saying that, he got on the carriage. legacy
"Yes, I would like to send you my best wishes, Prime Minister."
As soon as he returned to the banquet, Yang Qing was dragged into drinking by everyone, especially Pu Yuan, an old drunkard. He drank three large glasses of wine with him in a row. Although Yang Qing had a good drinker, he couldn't resist the repeated toasts from everyone, so he had to look at Ma Di, Guan Xing and others for help.
With them blocking the wine, Yang Qing was prevented from going to the bridal chamber drunk. In the bridal chamber, Xia Houyue had already been sitting on the couch waiting for him. I don't know whether it was because of drinking or being shy. At this time, her cheeks were flushed, her eyebrows were springy, and she looked so charming under the candlelight that Yang Qing couldn't help but The ground looked crazy.
"Husband, please drink some water." At some point, Xia Houyue raised her teacup and walked up to Yang Qing, which finally brought him back to his senses.
Yang Qing took it and drank it all, cupped his hands and said, "Thank you Yueniang."
"You...you still call me Yueniang?" Xia Houyue lowered her head in shame.
Yang Qing suddenly came to his senses, held her jade hand, and called softly: "It's time to thank Mr. Xi."
"Xijun, the guests have dispersed and it's getting late. Let's go to bed."
Xia Houyue's face blushed even more when she heard this, and she hesitated to respond. After a long time, she hummed like a mosquito.
Yang Qing smiled and blew out the candles, and the room was filled with spring.
