Chapter 103 Chapter 103 During this Northern Expedition, the Chu army...
During the Northern Expedition, the Chu army attacked with fierce force, annihilating nearly 300,000 Xiongnu troops, capturing 100,000 horses, and surrendering countless cattle, horses, sheep and other livestock.
And by killing Shanyu Maodun's bloodline, he seemed to have won a complete victory.
Even as Lu Bu had previously planned, he would embark on the road to victory before winter came and at the tail end of late autumn.
The good news of the Chu army's devastating blow to the Xiongnu army, which had been harassing the border and harming the border people like gangrene in their bones, quickly spread back to the Chu land, causing the people to applaud and cheer with great joy.
As the army marched back to the court one after another, wherever they went, people spontaneously came to greet them, bringing food from their homes to reward the invincible iron army.
The soldiers of the Chu army were moved, but they didn't want to accept it. They just declined the kindness, which inevitably delayed their efforts for a while.
Xiang Yu and Lu Bu, who were eager to get married, saw this scene, thinking that they had reached the territory of Da Chu, they simply left the army behind. Each of them rode a black dragon and a jade lion, and headed towards Xianyang without stopping.
They are both knights with outstanding riding skills in the world, and they control the rare horse in the world. With the same expectations and joy, the two of them rode like lightning and arrived in Xianyang in less than ten days.
When His Majesty the Emperor, who had lost all his travels but still maintained his majestic appearance, appeared hand in hand with General Lu, the soldiers guarding the city were dumbfounded and almost thought they were in a dream.
...where is the army?
They were in a daze for a moment, and then General Lu raised his eyes impatiently and urged in a deep voice: "Not yet!"
How could I come across such a group of stupid soldiers when I was in a hurry to get married?
Completely unaware of what General Lu was anxious about, everyone just woke up from a dream and hurriedly got out of the way. They were about to bow down by the roadside to greet the Holy Master.
But as soon as they got out of the way and before they could bow down and salute, the two men and two horses in a hurry came galloping in like an arrow from a string.
The dust that was stirred up hit their faces, and they looked at the back of the majestic Erdao as if they were unaware of it, and admired in their hearts.
Lu Bu originally wanted to go back to his hometown to bathe and change clothes, and then go to the palace to discuss the marriage.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he showed signs of turning a corner, Xiang Yu, who had quick eyes and quick hands, reached out to catch him, grabbed the reins, and pulled back the head of the jade lion that he had just moved.
He stared calmly at Lu Bu, who had an incomprehensible expression, and said matter-of-factly: "Follow me back to the palace."
Lu Bu blinked and fell into deep thought.
Too.
In this world, who else can match the wealth and prosperity of this stupid bitch like me?
He helped with the work all the way, and now, except for a mansion and a salary, all the rewards were given to the army to encourage the soldiers. Compared with the silly old woman, she was extremely poor.
Even if he is marrying a high man... he has to be a live-in son-in-law. He has put in so much hard work to get here, and it is indeed natural for him to move into the palace! Why should the people in the branch and palace know it so well?
Thinking of this, Lu Bu decided on the spot to be shameless and do as he pleases.
Seeing that Fengxian really followed his words and came to the palace with him...
Although Xiang Yu's face was still tense, his heart was filled with surprise, joy, and infinite joy.
After returning to Fengxian Hall, Lu Bu took over the emperor's soup pool without hesitation. Under the service of the palace servants, he soaked comfortably and washed away the dust.
After Xiang Yu simply washed and changed his clothes, he couldn't wait to summon his ministers into the palace.
Because the emperor personally led the expedition, the early court had been suspended for a long time.
The ministers who were handling official business in their respective residences had just received the news that His Majesty and General Lu had just rushed back to Beijing. When they were surprised, they were summoned into the palace the next moment.
While walking to Fengxian Hall, some familiar ministers looked at each other with confusion in each other's eyes.
If it is to reward the soldiers, hold banquets for light work, and consolidate border defenses, they are important, but according to the temper of the Emperor of Chu, it will not be so urgent.
How could His Majesty, who has always been so calm and solemn, not hesitate to abandon the army, rush back to the capital day and night, and summon all the ministers as soon as he entered the palace... What kind of important matter is it to act so impatient?
In the queue of officials following Fan Zeng, there was also a new face mixed in: it was Xiao He who was thought to be dead not long ago, but was only taken to prison and left to be dealt with.
His Majesty said that a war must be fought, but Fan Zeng was so busy that he wished he could divide himself into dozens of people.
When Sui He came to ask for instructions from the emperor, Fang asked him to slap his forehead and suddenly realized that there were many rare talents among the people captured by Liu Bang!
In such a short period of time, Bashu could be managed so well that it could afford the huge losses of Liu Bang's Northern Expedition. How could he be an incompetent person?
Even if you do something trivial, it's better than being put in jail and eating dry food!
So as soon as Fan Zeng followed him, he immediately went straight to the cell and slipped Xiao and Cao out, who were still waiting for the verdict at a loss. They came in handy that day.
However, as orderly as there is inside and outside the Chu camp, the real situation is that the internal affairs are complicated and busy... Cao Shen, who was sent to the military camp, was shocked by Xiao He who was well versed in this and had his first glimpse of the Chu court. .
With Xiao He's talents, he quickly stood out among Fan Zeng's subordinates and won the respect of Fan Zeng.
So that day when Emperor Chu summoned him to the palace, Fan Zeng took Xiao He out without thinking and carried him into the palace together.
The ministers had different thoughts, but their faces were all solemn, and they were led into the palace by the guards.
As soon as I stepped into the palace, I
Seeing Emperor Chu's appearance, he was sitting solemnly on the throne and had been waiting for a long time.
After all the ministers entered the palace, Xiang Yu, who had been wandering in the sky, came back to his senses and said in a deep voice: "I invite you to come here for three things."
Xiang Yu has always been concise and concise in his words. He likes simplicity but dislikes it, but this is the first time he expresses it so urgently and clearly.
The ministers gathered their minds and listened with bated breath.
But I heard Emperor Chu say: "This expedition to the north, the soldiers have worked very hard. I would like to reward you for your hard work. Please give me more thought."
When Fan Zeng heard this, he stepped out of the queue without thinking, bowed and said, "I obey your order."
"My father, please rise." Xiang Yu continued: "I have no children, but the country cannot have an heir. At the end of the year, I will choose a son from my family who will be my son and make him the crown prince."
As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in the palace!
Xiang Yu was established before the year was over, but because of many years of fighting and the early death of his uncle, he has not yet married.
When Xiang Yu first ascended to the throne, some princes and nobles were looking for beauties in their clan to fill the harem, but they had to put it on hold because Xiang Yu once again led his troops to the north.
Now Xiang Yu offered to adopt a son as his heir...
While the ministers were still talking about this, Xiang Yu could no longer suppress his excitement. He managed to keep a straight face and asked, "Where is Shusun Tong?"
His name was unexpectedly called. Shusun Tong was stunned for a moment, then suddenly came to his senses, stood up and said: "I'm here!"
Xiang Yu nodded slightly with satisfaction, and without any warning, issued the third order, which stunned everyone on the spot like a thunderbolt: "You will preside over the wedding in three days."
The palace, which had been noisy just now, was suddenly cut into a dead silence that could be heard by these words.
Shusun Tong was also shocked. He stood there like a puppet for a long time. Under the fierce urging gaze of Emperor Chu, he bowed down tremblingly and stammered: "Three...three days? That's too much." It was too hasty... I hope... Your Majesty will think again."
The emperor's wedding lasted not to mention three days, even three months was too short!
Shusun Tong, who was so excited just a moment ago because His Majesty remembered his name and called it out in court, now just wished he could pass out on the spot.
Although he was good at catering to the emperor's wishes, he simplified everything and completed the ceremony of proclaiming himself emperor that day.
But this doesn't mean that he can arrange the emperor's wedding in just three days!
Shusun Tong was about to cry without tears.
Three days? Three days!
If the person who said this ridiculous thing was not His Majesty the Emperor of Chu, he would denounce it as ridiculous and whimsical.
Not to mention that he still knows nothing about the person His Majesty is about to marry, even if he really skips the steps before the wedding and only handles the wedding... The dress of the maid next to the Queen alone, It only takes three to five days for the embroiderer to embroider!
Xiang Yuxian did not expect Shusun Tong's evasion.
He frowned dissatisfied and asked in a deep voice: "Why?"
Shusuntong had no choice but to bite the bullet and explain the difficulties one by one.
However, the Emperor of Chu, who was extremely heroic and martial, did not take it seriously and said calmly: "There is no need to pay attention to the formal etiquette... Just tell the heaven and the earth, tell the world, tell you, and then clean up the Queen's Palace and move the things in. "
Maid's dress?
——Unfounded worries.
Xiang Yu thought expressionlessly, Fengxian... there is no maid, and there will be no maids in the future.
As for the others, Fengxian is similar in height to him and is relatively thin. Just change his crown uniform and he can cope with it.
In any case, the discarded imperial robes he wore a while ago are enough evidence that although Fengxian likes majestic and fancy robes, he hates complicated clothes that are inconvenient for movement.
If Feng first changes his mind and then wants to do a few things to someone, he can do it at any time.
In fact, there is no need to make a special trip to get married before this moment should not be delayed.
On the way back, Xiang Yu had already planned everything in his mind. How could he allow Shusun Tong to argue?
He frowned slightly and managed to overwhelm Shusun Tong, who was in a daze, with just a few words. Just when he was about to pronounce his sentence in silence, Fan Zeng, who had been stunned since he first heard about it, finally came to his senses.
He slowly raised his arm, regardless of how rude it was, and Teng Teng said nonchalantly: "Your majesty, your majesty, are you married?"
If you weren't going to fight the Huns, when did you turn... which beauty did you fall in love with, and why should you be your queen? !
Xiang Yu looked calm, nodded and said: "The engagement has been made and the engagement has been concluded."
Fan Zeng's mind buzzed again, and he repeated blankly: "Has the offer been made?!"
When was the appointment made, to whom was the appointment made, and for what purpose was the appointment made?
As the Prime Minister, why does he know nothing about this!
Fan Zeng had no idea. He was so shocked that he asked what was in his mind.
Xiang Yu softened his expression slightly and was about to explain a few words in detail. At this moment, Lu Bu, who had taken a shower and changed clothes and looked refreshed, strode into the palace.
Thinking that he was about to get married, he was in such a good mood that he didn't notice the demented expressions of the courtiers around him who had been struck by lightning. He was just happy to stand in his old position.
Precisely because he came at a good time, he heard what Old Man Fan said and was immediately furious.
Why, this old man Fan still dares to think that his betrothal gift is not enough?
Lu Bu glared menacingly, looked at the old man Fan who was in the fog, and suppressed his dissatisfaction and said: "What? Is it possible that the head of the Xiongnu Chanyu and the territory of the Xiongnu Chanyu are not qualified to be a betrothal gift!"
where
Afraid that the true feeling is not enough, at this juncture, it must be enough - even if the king of heaven is present, he cannot stop him from marrying this evil woman who he finally hired!
