Chapter 51
The next morning, the sun had just risen to the walls of Luoyang City Wall, and there was a loud music in front of Cai Yong's mansion. This was Feng Yu who came to Cai's mansion to personally give the betrothal gift. According to the current custom, after giving the betrothal gift, it was equivalent to getting engaged, and then choosing auspicious day to welcome the bride and bringing the bride into the door.
Feng Yu had already found someone to calculate that after giving the betrothal gift today, the day after tomorrow will be the auspicious day after tomorrow. That is, if everything goes well, he can take Cai Yan away from Luoyang the day after tomorrow. As for Cai Yong who stayed in Luoyang, there is definitely no safety before Dong Zhuo died. During this period, Feng Yu always finds an opportunity to rescue him from danger.
Even if Feng Yu stood on the side of the anti-Dong force in the future, even if Dong Zhuo was implicated, he would not implicate Cai Yong. Because his wife's clan was not among the three clans. In the Han Dynasty, whether in terms of law or in terms of ideas, killing the three clans was the most widely implicated. As for implicating the nine clans, it was only the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties.
Of course, Dong Zhuo would not care about the laws of the Han Dynasty, but he would not do meaningless things. According to the ideas of people in the Qin and Han dynasties, killing Cai Yong was just a person who had nothing to do with Feng Yu except marrying his daughter to Feng Yu.
Cai Yong didn't have to go to court today, so he sat in the lobby of the mansion early to wait for this future son-in-law to ride the dragon. After some etiquette, Cai Yong happily accepted the betrothal gift. He had a serious conversation with Feng Yu and became more satisfied with the prospective son-in-law. He agreed with Feng Yu the day after tomorrow to welcome the bride ceremony.
Feng Yu returned to the residence and was about to wait patiently for the past two days. Cao Cao had already been properly settled by him, and he just waited to pick up Cai Yan and mixed in the wedding team to take him out of the city.
Unexpectedly, just after he returned to his residence, a clerk from the Prime Minister Dong Zhuo's mansion came and informed Feng Yu that the Prime Minister Dong Zhuo would summon him.
Feng Yu's heart skipped a beat, thinking [I really made myself calculate correctly, Dong Zhuo did not ignore him. Even though Dong Zhuo spoke, it was impossible not to go. He could only adapt to the situation. I hope Dong Zhuo would not let his established plan cause trouble.]
Under the guidance of the visitor, Feng Yu came to a mansion in the inner city comparable to an imperial palace. Feng Yu remembered clearly that this mansion was originally the house of Zhang Rang, the attendant during the reign of Emperor Ling.
At the gate of the house, another servant was led by the mansion. After passing through the winding corridors and passing through the huge courtyard, Feng Yu came to a lobby, but found that the lobby was empty.
The servant bowed to Feng Yu and said, "Please come here later, I will inform the Prime Minister." After that, he raised his foot and walked towards the back room.
Feng Yu had to stand in the hall with his hands down and wait for Dong Zhuo to come. Only at this time did Feng Yu feel the difference between being a dominant prince and a subordinate.
After waiting for a long time, no one came out. Feng Yu was wondering when he wanted to investigate the system. A man who was five feet tall, thin and capable, with a tall soap coat and a tall crown, walked in.
This made Feng Yu even more surprised. This could not be Dong Zhuo! Isn’t Dong Zhuo a fat man over 60 years old?! The visitor seemed to see Feng Yu’s doubts, smiled slightly, clasped his fists and gave a tribute, and then introduced himself: “I am the son-in-law of the Prime Minister Dong, with his surname Li, name Ru and courtesy name Wenyou.”
Feng Yu immediately explained his doubts and bowed back with his fists, "It turns out it's Brother Wenyou, I have been admired for a long time."
At this time, with the sound of jade hooks and loops colliding, a large number of people came out of the back hall. Many slaves and guards were guarding a fat man with gray hair and beards and walked into the hall. Who else could this be Dong Zhuo?
Dong Zhuo seemed to wake up after taking a nap, sleepy eyes and yawning. He sat on the couch chair at the head of the hall with carelessness, and Feng Yu had to follow Li Ru to bow to Dong Zhuo: "We will meet with the Prime Minister."
Dong Zhuo waved his hand and said, "No need to be polite, sit down and talk."
After Feng Yu and Li Ru sat down on the table, he looked at Feng Yu seriously and then spoke: "Zhu Yanghou is indeed very handsome and heroic."
"The Prime Minister praised it."
"Zhuyang Hou, do you know that the thieves in Guandong have rebelled these two days?" Dong Zhuo then asked directly, staring at Feng Yu's eyes as he asked.
Feng Yu was shocked when he heard the words "Kanto thieves": [Did Yuan Shao have already started to rebel against Dong?], but he still pretended not to understand and asked: "The Yellow Turban thieves are out again in Guandong?"
Dong Zhuo sneered: "It's not the Yellow Turban Thief, but these rats are not as good as the Yellow Turban Thief. It's Yuan Shao, Han Fu, Kong Rong, the ungrateful and unskilled rats, who have begun to send a message to the world to attack me."
Feng Yu immediately replied: "For the prime minister, these rats are like shaking a tree and blocking a cart with a mantis arm. The prime minister does not have to worry. As long as the prime minister uses imperial edicts to command the world and attack them in groups, a few small thieves will be destroyed in a daze."
Dong Zhuo suddenly stopped this topic and asked Feng Yu with a smile: "I heard that you are going to marry Cai Yong's daughter soon, is there any such thing?"
"I dare not deceive the prime minister, there is indeed such a thing."
"It's so great. I want to attend your wedding in person and also to host the marriage for you beautiful women. In the pre-time, I will also give Zhuyang Hou a big gift!"
Feng Yu's heart skipped a beat and cursed: [Old man, is it a bad thing for me? Is it a problem to make me feel bad?
But he said calmly: "I am grateful to the prime minister's kindness, but I am far away from the capital. How can I work for the prime minister's body to be the prime minister's wife?"
Dong Zhuo had already leaned his fat body against the soft pillow of the couch chair and glanced at Li Ru with a squinted eyes. Li Ru understood it and said to Feng Yu with a smile:
"Zhuyang Hou, you misunderstood the meaning of the prime minister. The prime minister means that the king can hold the wedding in the capital. In addition, the gift that the prime minister has prepared for you is a luxury mansion in the capital, which is the house of Duan Gui, the Zhongchang Sushi. After you get married, you can live in the capital for a long time."
Feng Yu had already understood what they meant, but he still pretended to be stupid and said, "But there are still some troops and soldiers in the fiefdom of the last general, they..."
Li Ru smiled and said, "Your Majesty can write a letter by hand. The court sent someone to transfer them to the capital with your letter by your Majesty. But you don't worry, you will still be yourselves after you come to the capital."
Dong Zhuo, who had been silent for a long time, sat upright again and said earnestly:
"Zhuyang Hou, a young man with talent and promising talent like you is too talented outside. I am a person who loves talents, and the court is currently employed by people, so I have to transfer you to the capital and entrust you with important tasks. From now on, the position of General Chess and Cavalry will be yours."
Feng Yu's face suddenly showed a look of surprise. He came from the mat to the hall and bowed to Dong Zhuo, saying, "Yu thanked the Prime Minister for his kindness. He must work hard to repay the court and repay the kindness of the Prime Minister. I wrote a letter in hand and transferred all Zhuyang's troops to the capital."
Dong Zhuo and Li Ru both laughed happily in the hall, but Feng Yu could hear it clearly, and the laughter was full of pride.
Seeing Feng Yu's back leaving the hall, Li Ru looked at Feng Yu's handwritten letters while calling his personal guards and whispered: "In the past few days, the people from Zhuyang Hou Kingdom cannot let anyone out of the city."
