The Rebellious Officials and Traitors of the Late Han Dynasty

Chapter 44 My son-in-law meets his father-in-law
To be honest, it is very painful to chat with Cai Yong and his daughter. Simply put, although Qin Shou can recite poems and compose poems, he can occasionally say something like "The falling clouds and the solitary swans fly together, and the autumn water is the same color as the sky." It's a classic, but I can barely pass it.

So the chat between the three of them was still harmonious.

An hour later, Cai Yong and his daughter personally sent Qin Shou out of the house.

Early the next morning, Wang Yun rushed in in a hurry.

"Brother Bojie, brother Bojie."

Wang Yun pushed the servant away with a somewhat unkind expression.

"Master, why are you so confused?"

Cai Yong came out with a smile.

"Bojie, you agreed and betrothed Zhaoji to Qin Shou and Qin Yilu?" Wang Yun asked impatiently: "You are also the leader of the scholar community. How did you teach your daughter? How could Zhaoji and Qin Yilu be married?" Does Shou have an affair?"

"Tell me, was it Qin Shou who forced you? If so, I will go to the Prime Minister immediately."

Wang Yun's eyes burst out with anger. Who is Cai Zhaoji? How can she marry a warrior like Qin Shou? What's more, the other party is a general under Dong Zhuo, which is even worse.

"Master, why did you say this? When did I say that I would betroth Zhao Ji to Qin Yilu?"

Cai Yong was very puzzled after hearing this.

He admitted that Qin Shou was pretty good in some aspects, but Qin Shou was already married, and this alone was enough to put an end to his thoughts.

"Really?" Wang Yun looked at Cai Yong with doubtful eyes and said, "Didn't you already accept his betrothal gift? And the conversation was very pleasant!"

"Well, why are you saying this!" Cai Yong suddenly felt very aggrieved. He just met Qin Shou once, and he heard such remarks.

"Hey! It's too late for you to say anything now. Now it has spread throughout Chang'an City, saying that Cai Yong has agreed to Qin Shou's marriage proposal. He also said that when Zhao Ji was captured in Luoyang, the two of them It has been decided privately for life, and some people even say that Zhao Ji is already pregnant." Wang Yun snorted coldly.

Cai Yong on the side trembled with anger after hearing this, and his eyes burst out with fire.

Cai Zhaoji was his nemesis, but now she was arranged like this, which made him unable to bear it.

"Who is it? Who is it? I want to kill him."

Cai Yong roared loudly.

He would rather be wronged than let his daughter be unjust for the first time.

"How to kill now! Rumors have spread throughout Chang'an City." Wang Yun said with a bitter smile: "Even if you kill these people, can you still change the facts?"

"Master, what should we do now?" Cai Yong didn't know what to do now.

"This." Wang Yun didn't know what to do for a while.

"Sir, the Prime Minister's Mansion has sent someone here. It's Mr. Li Ru."

At this moment, a concierge reported loudly outside.

"Ah!" Cai Yong and Wang Yun looked stunned, and did not dare to neglect, and hurriedly greeted them.

"Congratulations to Mr. Cai, congratulations to Mr. Cai. The Prime Minister heard that Mr. Lao was going to marry General Xiaoqi, and he was very happy. He specially asked his subordinates to send gifts, including five million yuan, fifty pieces of Shu brocade, fifty pieces of silk, and five pieces of cloth. Ten horses and two jade pendants.”

Li Ru's face was full of smiles, and every time he said something, servants would bring gifts to him.

"This, this, Mr. Li, this is just a misunderstanding."

Cai Yong suddenly didn't know what to do.

"My lord, I'm going to take my leave first. When Miss Zhaoji gets married, the Prime Minister will come in person to ask for a wedding drink. Haha, say goodbye, say goodbye."

Li Ru didn't care whether the other party really misunderstood, but turned around and left with a smile.

The two people were left looking at each other.

"By the way, the emperor will come with an imperial edict later."

When he walked to the door, Li Ru suddenly thought of something and turned back with a smile. "It must be intentional. It must be this person's doing."

Wang Yun looked at the other party's back and roared loudly.

Cai Yong also looked gloomy. He was not a fool, but a very smart person. He instantly discovered the problem behind the incident.

Dong Zhuo allowed himself to marry the Cai family just to win over himself and let the scholars get close to Dong Zhuo. Is this possible? How could Cai Yong help Dong Zhuo succeed?

"Master, what should we do now?" Cai Yong asked with a frown.

When faced with this situation, he didn't know what to do.

Wang Yun smiled bitterly after hearing this, looked at Cai Yong, and said: "There is no solution. There is no other way except getting married."

Since Li Ru said this, the emperor's imperial edict will definitely come. The emperor is just a chess piece in Dong Zhuo's hands, and Dong Zhuo's words are the imperial edict.

Wang Yun believed that this was clearly Dong Zhuo's intention to let his generals marry Cai Zhaoji to deepen the relationship between the two parties and improve his reputation.

"The imperial edict has arrived. The Marquis of Gaoyang Township has received it."

Sure enough, as soon as the two of them finished speaking, the imperial edict came.

"By God's blessing, the great emperor has decreed that the daughter of the Marquis of Gaoyang is Wen Liang and virtuous... specially granted to marry the heroic general Qin Shou, Luan Feng and Ming... I admire this!"

The chamberlain held the imperial edict in his hand, paused, recited the imperial edict once, and then waved behind him, and saw several chamberlains offering gifts, nothing more than brocade, silk, etc.

"Congratulations, Lord Marquis, congratulations, Lord Marquis."

The waiter's face was full of smiles.

Cai Yong's face was full of bitterness.

Although there was an imperial decree granting marriage, it was impossible for my daughter to be a spoiled child for others. However, I was very unwilling to get married, but I was helpless.

"I accept the order and thank you for your kindness."

Cai Yong could only accept the imperial edict, and asked people to send money to send the servant away.

"Master, I have been fooled now." Cai Yong looked at the imperial edict in his hand and said with a bitter smile.

"Bojie, you shouldn't have come to Luoyang City in the first place. Now you are trapped in it, and even Zhaoji is trapped in it." Wang Yun said with a bitter smile.

Cai Yong could only nod his head after hearing this. Now that the imperial edict has been issued, it is already too late and it is impossible to regret.

At this time, there were cavalry galloping in the distance. Cai Yong looked and saw that the person leading the cavalry was Qin Shou.

"Junior has seen Cai Zhonglang. I feel ashamed that I have brought Zhonglang and Miss Zhaoji into trouble."

Qin Shou turned over and dismounted, with a look of shame on his handsome face.

"General Qiaoqi, I haven't congratulated you yet!" Cai Yong hadn't spoken yet, but Wang Yun on the side sneered: "It's just that you use this method to bully an honest man. Isn't it too shameless?"

A gentleman bullies others, and Cai Yong is a gentleman.

"Did Wang Situ misunderstand the general?"

Qin Shou naturally would not admit that he had a share of credit for this, and still pretended to be ignorant.

"You know it well yourself." Wang Yun snorted coldly.

"Qin Shou, since the imperial edict has been issued and I will act in accordance with it, go ahead and prepare!"

Cai Yong looked at Qin Shou with complicated eyes.

"My son-in-law pays homage to my father-in-law."

Qin Shou was stunned for a moment, then quickly responded.
