The Three Kingdoms of the Widow

The plain silk in Zhuge Liang's hand fell to the ground silently.

The news from Luoyang has two themes.The first is Dongxiang princess Cao Jin’s sudden death at her wedding, and the second is that the prince Cao Rui almost shot Sima Yi at the wedding.

At the wedding of "Emperor Sister", Cao Rui called "Emperor Sister" and cried bitterly. He almost drew his sword and fought Sima Yi desperately. Before he overestimated his strength and was about to draw his sword at the prince, Sima Shi finally regained his senses, grabbed him behind him, and then stood in front of his father to smooth things over with the agitated prince.

Zhuge Liang thought, I know why.

Ah Jin is gone.

Ah Jin is less than twenty this year.

In the room, Huang Yueying's crying was so low that it made people feel uncomfortable. She probably didn't want to burden Zhuge Liang, so she suppressed her voice tightly.

Zhuge Liang actually wanted to say to Huang Yueying: Yueying, if you want to cry, cry out loud, I feel even more sad when you do this.

Huang Yueying had good intentions, she didn't want to affect Zhuge Liang, because she knew that Zhuge Liang had to deal with the follow-up matters, and met many people, including Liu Chan who came to condolences... You must not lose your dignity before you.

Facing Liu Chan, Zhuge Liang couldn't cry, not only couldn't cry, but also calmly suggested: "Your Majesty should stand up as soon as possible."

In the end, Zhuge Liang made the decision, and Liu Chan married Zhang Fei's eldest daughter as queen.God knows how Zhuge Liang felt when he saw someone else standing where his daughter should have been.

But there is no doubt about one thing: when Empress Dazhang and Liu Chan thanked Xiangfu for being a matchmaker, Empress Dazhang expressed affectionately, "If my sister is here today, why would I have my concubine today? The father treats my concubine as my sister" is really a wound. Salt.

Ma Su looked at Zhuge Liang's state very worriedly. It is unlucky for the emperor to cry.

Zhuge Liang's tears didn't fall, but her voice was still very calm: "Your Highness is Xiaojun. The words of Xiaojun are beyond the hearing of the minister."

Barely making it to the end, Ma Su helped Zhuge Liang go back by car: "Sir, go back, Mrs. Huang is waiting."

"Don't go home." After Zhuge Liang said this briefly, he stopped talking, and Ma Di could only order the car to drive back to the office.

Zhuge Liang locked himself in the office and could not come out. Ma Su stayed outside alone and listened to her cry all night.

Everyone was afraid that Zhuge Liang would collapse, but they didn't know that this kind of concern was also a shackle. Zhuge Liang couldn't go against everyone's good intentions. She didn't even have the right to collapse. She could only secretly find a place by herself and cry for her daughter. After crying, Continue to pretend like nothing happened and live your life.

Ma Di wondered why Zhao Yun, who should have come to comfort Zhuge Liang at this time, hadn't acted. She was still Zhuge Jin's godfather, so why was she so ruthless?

Ma Di probably doesn't know that there is a saying: "Fortune never comes, but misfortune never comes singly."

Later, it was Zhuge Liang who went to see Zhao Yun first.

As soon as he entered Zhao Yun's General's Mansion, Qi Bao brought his two sons and some servants to welcome him.

Zhuge Liang cupped his hands: "Madam, you are very polite."

"The prime minister wants to see General Zhao?"

"Exactly." Zhuge Liang saw Wang Tong staring at the feather fan in his hand, and smiled slightly, "Where is Zilong now?"

Qi Bao felt that it was inconvenient to answer this question: "Prime Minister, the general said that if you came to see her, she would still be willing to see her, but only you alone, and she will not see the others."

Zhuge Liang nodded sympathetically: "Okay, I'm the only one who will see her, Madam will lead the way."

Qi Bao led Zhuge Liang into the inner room, and then took the two children out.

Zhuge Liang looked at Zhao Yun who was sitting in front of the desk in a daze. There was a piece of black gauze on her left arm.

"I thought you would wear sackcloth and mourning."

Zhao Yun turned his head with empty eyes: "You are here, sit by yourself."

Zhuge Liang sat with Zhao Yun for a long time in silence.

Sitting from day to night.

"Thank you, you can go back."

Zhuge Liang stood up and looked at Zhao Yun sympathetically: "I understand your feelings very well, because we have just lost a very important person, so we will not say those innocuous words. Sorry, if you want to go, go. Fake."

"That's why I hate you sometimes." Zhao Yun looked away, not at Zhuge Liang, "When Meng Qi was around, I wanted to see him, but you never gave me permission to leave. Happy. The last time I saw him was a few years ago. You transferred him to guard Jiameng. I wanted to talk to you, but he refused to let me. The last sentence he left me was: There will be many days to meet again .”

"You should hate me." Zhuge Liang sat back, it's a good thing Zhao Yun can speak, venting out is much better than being bored in his heart.

"There is also the matter of marriage. You were the one who tried to make me marry Qi Bao at the beginning, and you were the one who warned me to stay away from Meng Qi. Now it's you who came to persuade me to mourn."

"Yes, it's all me. Are you going?"

"I won't go. I don't know how to go. I'm sorry for myself if I say it's an old friend; I'm sorry for Qi Bao, I'm sorry for my family, and I'm sorry for Meng Qi's wife."

Zhuge Liang felt familiar with Zhao Yun's words, as if Zhao Yun had been avoiding the funeral as much as possible, and she refused to go when Fan's died last time.

"Remember Fan's?"

"Remember. I've already let down too many people, so I can't let down the rest of you."

"If you really want to live up to it, it won't be like this now. The people around you come and go, just like flowers blooming every year, and you can't stop them. Last year's flowers failed, but this year's blooming is just as good, although the flowers are not It’s the one from last year, but it’s still a flower after all.”

"Thank you for enlightening me. After you finish speaking, go back, Ma Di is waiting for you, don't let him worry." Zhao Yun bit Ma Di's name hard.

"What are you talking about! Why is he waiting for me!" Zhuge Liang got up angrily this time.

"You can't even do it yourself, and you come to persuade me to 'have a flower and a beard'!" Zhao Yun simply patted the table with Zhuge Liang.

silence.

An awkward silence.

"I'm sorry." Zhao Yun first admitted his mistake, "I shouldn't get angry at you. Ah Jin and Meng Qi have both left, but you are more difficult than me. There are few veterans. Once Meng Qi left, there are not many who can fight now. There are a few. There are still people guarding Jiameng Pass, and you have to worry about state affairs."

"It's not too difficult. Before Meng Qi left, he made a statement and said it very earnestly. He wanted to let Ma Dai succeed him. His Majesty has already agreed. And someone drafted his posthumous title: Weihou. It is called Congo Prestige, strong righteousness and righteousness are called prestige, which can be regarded as a beautiful posthumous posthumous posthumous title. His family members are also settled."

"Meng Qi didn't tell me anything...can I see his watch?"

Zhuge Liang took out a well-folded piece of silk from his sleeve, which was actually why she came here: "I can't give you the original version, but it's at His Majesty's place. If you want to keep it on file, you can keep this copy."

Zhao Yun opened it silently.

"... More than two hundred members of the family of ministers were almost wiped out by Meng De, but Congdi Dai should be the successor of Weizong's blood and food. I deeply entrust Your Majesty with no further words."

"He has made great progress. You can see that when he mentioned Cao Cao, his tone was very calm. He seems to be reflecting on what happened back then."

Zhao Yun put away the plain silk. She would rather Ma Chao forget the past and live without any burdens than regret endlessly in self-examination and go to another world.

"What else do you want to ask? I'll ask it together now. I don't know if I'll have a chance to talk to you about Mengqi again in the future."

"I owe Meng Qi." Zhao Yun thought for a while, and suddenly said this.

Others would probably "do not know what it means", but as Zhuge Liang who has a close relationship with Zhao Yun, she understands the meaning of these words too well: "Understood, if you are no longer here, I will pay the debt for you."

But I still owe the debt, and the debt is getting more and more. Rolling interest and usury don't do this. Every time I feel that I am about to pay it off, something happens and I continue to owe the debt.

Zhuge Liang sighed from the bottom of his heart: The old Liu's business is really shrewd, and I'm afraid it will never end in my life.

Several years later, Zhuge Liang arranged for Liu Li to welcome Ma Chao's daughter as Princess Liang.

Wang Tong got into a fight.

It's a bit unrealistic to say that. The accurate statement is that Wang Tong was beaten.

More than once.

A few times ago, Qi Bao didn't dare to let Zhao Yun know. When the whole family had dinner, they said that Wang Tong was not feeling well and ate alone in the house.Zhao Yun only thought that the child didn't want to see him, and he didn't force it.

This time the beating was a bit harsh, the nose was bruised and the face was swollen, it would not take three to five days to recover, Zhao Yun could see it.

"Have a fight with someone?"

Wang Tong sniffled, and put down the rice bowl he was holding up.

"So you were beaten? Why?"

Why, Wang Tong thought, because I don't have a father.The boys of another group of generals like to make fun of my last name.

Wang Tong refused to speak, and Zhao Yun stopped asking.

"Dinner, classes in the school will be suspended for a day tomorrow, and I will go to the school grounds to practice martial arts. It's time for you to learn how to ride a horse."

Zhao Guang next to him was holding his job, and his eyes lit up when he heard the word "horse": "Father! I'm going too! Go... ride a horse!"

"You, you should speak clearly first! You are very rough on horseback. If you can't speak clearly, you will bite your tongue!" Zhao Yun frightened his son, Zhao Guang was really frightened, and he didn't dare to speak again during this meal. Tongue sticks out.

Wang Tong was reluctant to go.

"If you don't want to go, you have to go." With Zhao Yun's words, Qi Bao didn't dare to say anything.

The next day, Zhao Yun began to practice martial arts with Wang Tong. In addition to riding a horse, he also started to learn about fist and foot weapons, so he had to take him to practice with soldiers.Wang Tong may have been a little cautious at the beginning, but after getting in touch with real war horses, he became a little fascinated.

Zhao Yun led him to practice for more than half a month, and Wang Tong's spirit changed, his body became straighter, and his voice became louder. Zhao Yun saw him holding the spear and couldn't put it down, and suddenly asked him: "That kid Wei Meng still Bullying you?"

Wang Tong was stunned for a while before he realized it. He lowered his head, a little ashamed and annoyed.

"You follow me!"

"What's so embarrassing?" Zhao Yun obviously felt that it was nothing to worry about. "You always bring home wounds, I must know what happened to you. That brat Wei Meng is not a good person, I think He's just itchy, his father can't take care of educating him, someone else has to make up for it, let him know that other people's names can't be used as a joke."

"His father is the prefect of Hanzhong." Speaking of this, Wang Tong felt sad, now almost no one dared to provoke Wei Meng, who made Ji Han almost have no one who could beat him, his father Wei Yan can be regarded as a baby bump!

"Don't use the strategy of mourning soldiers in front of me," Zhao Yun saw through the child's innocence at a glance. He turned the corner and wanted Zhao Yun to directly negotiate with Wei Yan. Now basically Zhao Yun can hold Wei Yan. "I won't get ahead of the conflicts between you children."

Wang Tong was even more sad, whoever let him have no father, even if he had a father, he would not have the same status as Wei Meng's father.

"When I followed the first emperor, my status was far inferior to that of General Guan Zhang and the others. I had low qualifications and low status. What about now?" Zhao Yun told Wang Tong about his struggle history.

"Didn't the prime minister say that your advantage is that you live a long life? If you consume all those powerful people to death, you will become a veteran. But a powerful person, even if he is dead, is still powerful after all."

Zhao Yun frowned, when did this kid eavesdrop, when Zhuge Liang came to see him, he didn't know how to conceal what he said: "On the surface it seems like this - I won't say that living a long life is also an advantage - Have you heard of General Guan's posthumous title?"

Wang Tong nodded. If Zhao Yun, who is still alive, is excluded from the former Five Tiger Generals, the other four have already been posthumously pursued by Liu Chan. Zhang Fei is "Huanhou", Huang Zhong is "Ganghou", Ma Chao It is "Weihou", which is not bad, but Guan Yu's posthumous title is unexpectedly "Strong Miaohou", and "Miao" is not a good word.

"This posthumous name is quite honest," Zhao Yun said, "So, you see, the road is walked by oneself, the ending is chosen by oneself, and it has nothing to do with whether you are a veteran or not."

That seems to be correct.

"Therefore - you have to walk your own way. You can solve your problems by yourself. I can't help you directly, but I can provide you with opportunities."

Wei Meng rode a horse and took a group of younger brothers past the gate of the military supplies depot.

Why is it so small, just in time to see Wang Tong standing by the door, holding a white horse in his hand, but the horse's mane is black, covering all the way to the head.

Enemy road is narrow.

"Hey! Zhao Tong! Isn't this Zhao Tong?" Wei Meng said that he was not afraid of death, and made fun of the surname issue that Wang Tong hated most.

Wang Tong didn't speak. He said to himself, "If you can't bear it, you can make big plans."

Ma seemed to understand him very well, and rubbed his sleeve with his head.

"Hey! There's a horse here! Your father gave it to you? Can you ride it?"

"Ah Meng, Wang Tong's father is dead! Did you forget? How could a dead man send a horse?"

"Look at my memory! But it doesn't matter, Wang Tong, if one father dies, you can recognize another one."

Wei Meng and the others were acting unscrupulously. When the door opened, Zhao Yun came out. Wei Meng and the others froze at that moment, trying to fool them by yelling "Walk around and see what you want to see".

Zhao Yun looked at Wang Tong: "Are you afraid that there are too many people?"

"No." Wang Tong stared at Wei Meng's back, "'Don't make an unknown teacher', 'One effort, then decline, three exhaustion', I have to endure and wait for the opportunity."

Very good, Zhao Yun patted Wang Tong with satisfaction: "I don't care about anything, you can figure it out yourself."

As soon as Zhao Yun's words fell, Wang Tong got on his horse, urged his mount, and charged directly at Wei Meng!

Wei Meng didn't expect this move at all, and the friends around him panicked to get out of the way. Seeing that Zhao Yun's horse was running into him, he was quite frightened by covering it up. Letting the horse bump into it is no joke!

However, Wang Tong had no intention of relying on the strength of the horse. Taking advantage of the timing, he suddenly jumped up from the horse and threw Wei Meng directly to the ground.Wei Meng hit hard enough, he struggled to get up, and Wang Tong's fist arrived.

"Let you bully! Let you bully! Let you call my father!"

Wei Meng originally thought that Wang Tong was a melon with a scumbag in strength, but today's fists were heavy and hard, as if he had been completely reborn. He was surprised that he was so beaten that he was powerless to fight back.Some of the friends next to him rushed up to help him, but Wang Tong actually knocked down the two leaders with one elbow and one kick, and no one dared to come up now.

Wang Tong beat Wei Meng until his nose bleeds, his lips were broken, and his face was swollen, so he let go. If the goal is achieved, accept as soon as it is good, this is what I learned from Zhao Yun in the military camp.

"In the future, if you provoke me once, I will beat you once. Remember, I will do what I say." Wang Tong finally said this to Wei Meng and his younger brothers, and walked towards Zhao Yun in a cool manner, "It's settled!" ,go home."

It turns out that friendships between men are indeed forged.

From then on, Wei Meng learned to behave well, and when he saw Wang Tong in the future, he bowed his hands respectfully and stood on the side of the road, with an expression of "listening to brother Tong's words", and looking at Wang Tong's expression, he was a little more worshipful .

Wang Tong's horse also followed suit, Wei Meng thinks that "Brother Tong"'s horse is pleasing to the eye, this black and white coat is so majestic!Looking at my own, red or not, black or not, it looks wretched...

"Brother Tong, this horse..."

"Well, my father gave it to me." Zhao Tong stretched out his hand to stroke the horse's hair, with a natural expression, "My father's horse is white, and I am his son, so I also ride a white horse. This horse has a special coat color, What my father gave me was a well-trained war horse called 'Dark Cloud Gai Xue'."

"Can we touch it?" Zhao Tong's words made Wei Meng and others envious, "It turns out that Brother Tong's father still left such a good horse... It must have been trained for many years, so Uncle Wang is so early. It has been arranged for Brother Tong for many years..."

Zhao Tong looked back at Wei Meng, with a half-smile: "You can touch it. But—" Zhao Tong deliberately elongated his tone, "My surname is Zhao, my name is Zhao Tong, and my father is Zhao Yun. Remember everything, and we will If anyone makes a mistake again, I will still beat him."

Wei Meng and the others were dumbfounded. It's only been a few days. Wang Tong... Uh, no, has Zhao Tong changed his sex?

"A Tong!"

When Zhao Tong saw Zhao Yun, he went up to him with a smile all over his face, leaving his younger brother behind and still thinking about it slowly, maybe he can figure it out, maybe he can't figure it out, but that's not what Zhao Tong wants to worry about.

"father!"

The author has something to say:

The exact time of Ma Chao's death was one year before Liu Bei's death, but he was dragged to the present by unscrupulous authors...

Guan Yu's posthumous title was also given in 260 years later (it is still hanging around in the 3s AD), and it was also advanced by unscrupulous authors.

According to the author, the children raised by Zhuge Liang and Zhao Yun seem to be a little violent...Zhuge Jin also beat Huang Quan's daughter in the past, which caused a lot of trouble.
