When Fan Zeng heard that Xiang Yu was so generous as to give away the head of the Xiongnu Chanyu and a large territory that originally belonged to the Xiongnu as a betrothal gift, his eyes turned black on the spot.
—Your Majesty is confused, really confused!
He was trembling all over and almost fainted!
God knows which beautiful and charming Hu girl has captured your majesty's heart, making the brave warrior who has been ignorant for many years and has fought on iron horses and icy rivers intoxicated by the gentleness of the land. Once he fell in love with her, he was infatuated to this extent!
The Emperor personally led the army and dispatched nearly one million Chu soldiers. It took such a huge effort to defeat the Xiongnu army!
Fan Zeng felt as if his heart was being cut by a knife, and his legs were trembling.
He wanted to make a heart-wrenching and heartbreaking protest, but when he raised his eyes, he couldn't help but hesitate.
In the past, Xiang Yu's uncle Xiang Liang treated him with kindness. After Xiang Liang was defeated and died in battle, Xiang Yu felt guilty for not being able to persuade his lord to stop acting impulsively in time, so he joined Xiang Yu's camp and continued to serve Xiang in his conquests, so as to fulfill his long-cherished wish.
Although he did not say it, in his heart he had already secretly regarded this young but brave monarch, who treated him and the other scholars with great respect, as his own son or nephew.
He had followed Xiang Yu for many years and could see that at this moment His Majesty's expression was as indifferent as ever, but his eyes were filled with tenderness and happiness.
well!
After all, it's just youthful vigor!
Fan Zeng was shocked and felt sorry for it.
He turned his head slightly and looked silently at Fengxian, who was well-known for his loyalty and always stood up without hesitation whenever His Majesty made a mistake, even giving military advice several times.
Fengxian was eyeing him covetously at this moment, showing his intention to protect His Majesty's decision, and he didn't realize that there was anything wrong with it.
Oh, never mind!
Fan Zhang sighed and bowed deeply.
The moment he bowed, the ministers, who were speechless due to shock, also understood his decision to obey the emperor's order.
They glanced at each other imperceptibly. Although they were all confused, no one wanted to be the first to speak out. They all bowed silently to show their obedience.
Although we still don't know what kind of beauty the unheard-of queen is that makes Your Majesty so anxious.
But Your Majesty has made up his mind, and the most trusted civil and military officials have also agreed with it. How can they oppose it
—Even if you oppose it, it is useless.
In the great State of Chu, only Your Majesty and these two men, one civil and one military, are indispensable.
The ministers knew that despite the repeated military admonitions from General Lu, His Majesty's temperament was no longer as arrogant and stubborn as before, and his methods were no longer cruel and bloodthirsty...
But Your Majesty is, after all, a brave and courageous warrior unrivaled in the world, and the most authoritative supreme ruler in the court. Now that you control the world and are determined to take someone who suits your heart as your queen, no one can stop you.
Their criticism and accusations are in vain and will only annoy His Majesty and bring misfortune upon themselves. Given His Majesty's arrogant temper, he will probably order them to leave on the spot with their seals and ribbons.
Seeing all the ministers bowing to him one after another, Xiang Yu nodded with satisfaction.
Lu Bu, who was staring at Fan Zeng closely, did not receive any further news for a long time. Instead, he saw the old man Fan's expression changing continuously. Finally, he sighed repeatedly and seemed to have accepted the situation.
He finally let go of the worry that had been lifted up in his heart and breathed a sigh of relief.
It’s really hard for Gao to marry a wife!
I can't afford to go through this again in my lifetime. It's really unbearable.
Lu Bu was lost in thought and when he relaxed a little, Xiang Yu grabbed his hand in front of everyone.
After Xiang Yu calmly announced the adjournment of the court, he took his beloved and went to the inner hall openly.
This scene caught the eyes of everyone and immediately caused countless speculations.
—Could it be that the extraordinary woman who has made His Majesty so infatuated and determined to marry you is a member of General Lu’s family
No matter how curious they are, they only need to wait three days at most and everything will be clear.
But for Shusun Tong, who was entrusted with an important task by Your Majesty, every day was a torment.
He did not dare to look sad in front of His Majesty who was about to have a great wedding. But when he returned to the palace, even if he racked his brains, he could not figure out how simple it had to be so that the Emperor and Empress could hold their wedding in three days.
Even if a relatively well-off family wants to marry a new bride, it would take at least ten days or half a month to prepare!
Poor Shusun Tong sat there for half a day, but in the end he did not dare to exaggerate, so he had to bite the bullet and enter the palace.
He was holding the charter he had just written in his arms and asked to see His Majesty.
He did not dare to disobey the order of His Majesty, but he was willing to risk his life and beg for a few more days, which was better than being stuck for three days which was too dangerous.
Upon hearing that it was Shusun Tong, who was in charge of the wedding ceremony, who wanted to see him, the King of Chu, who obviously attached great importance to this, immediately ordered the guards to let him in.
On any other day, Shusun Tong would have felt flattered, but at this moment he just felt helpless.
Especially when he thought about what he was going to say soon, he felt as if every step was as painful as walking on the edge of a knife.
When he entered the palace with a trembling heart and was about to speak, he was shocked to see that there was another person in the hall outside the emperor's bedroom.
The man was naturally General Lu, who was dragged away by Xiang Yu in public when he was still in a trance.
In front of Lu Bu was a low table with a wine jar on it and several empty wine jars around it.
At this moment, his fair face turned red, and his usually sharp tiger eyes were slightly unfocused. He moved his arms and legs as comfortably as he wanted, revealing an air of laziness and leisure.
In comparison, although there was a wine jar on the low table in front of the Emperor of Chu, it seemed to have never been touched and was still full.
Before he entered the palace, His Majesty was probably having a drink with General Lu.
Xiang Yu looked at Shusun Tong calmly: "What's the matter?"
Shusun Tong was startled when he heard this. He gritted his teeth and spoke out his intention in a halting manner.
After a quick listen, Xiang Yu saw that most of the rules involved the empress's crown and clothing, wedding ceremonies, etc., and a look of confusion appeared in his eyes.
But he did not interrupt Shusun Tong's statement and listened patiently.
After Shusun Tong finished speaking, Xiang Yu could no longer hide his bewilderment and said, "Fengxian is here, why don't you just ask?"
After these words were spoken, Shusun Tong was suddenly confused.
Why do you need to ask General Lu about matters concerning your majesty's marriage
He stared blankly at General Lu, whose face was becoming increasingly ruddy, his eyes were hazy, and he even burped at him. He couldn't help but muttered dizzily: The Queen... Could she be a member of General Lu's clan
But he had only heard that General Lu was a rare hermit with extraordinary talent who lived alone without any ties, not to mention sisters, and even without any clan members.
Lu Bu saw that he would finally get a wife in three days - although she was fierce, stupid, and full of rules, she was the only one who truly suited his heart in his past and present lives - so he had to drink a few more glasses to be happy.
He was already 70% drunk at this point, and although his brain was a little slow, he could still think.
Seeing that Shusun Tong was indeed looking at him eagerly, he waved his hand and said cheerfully, "Let's keep it simple. I'll save myself the trouble."
Hanzi even kept the most important enthronement ceremony simple, let alone the fact that he was going to marry into the wife's family
To be the queen of a silly woman on the surface... It's not that he can't bear it.
After all, asking the great Emperor of Chu to marry a poor man doesn't seem quite appropriate.
He is about to become successful, so he should at least give the silly woman some face!
Lu Bu thought he was very magnanimous, so he accepted the awkwardness of becoming a "queen" with a frank attitude.
After hearing this, Shusun Tong felt even more confused.
How could your majesty be so careless in marrying a queen
This is a matter of great importance to the wedding of the Emperor and Empress, and it is a matter of great importance to the whole world. Even General Lu or the head of the Empress's family would not be able to make the final decision on their behalf.
Seeing that Shusun Tong was still hesitating, Lü Bu, who was a little drunk, suddenly showed a fierce look: "I don't care about it anymore, why are you still nagging!"
Gao had married a wicked and foolish woman, becoming a son-in-law which he had never been in his previous life. On the surface, he also had to be the queen, which was a bit embarrassing for him.
He also had to announce it to the world and his subjects... Those troublesome ceremonies that gave him a headache had to be saved as much as possible!
According to the rules of his Lu family, as long as he gave some gold, silver and jewelry as an explanation, he could drink the wedding wine that night and sleep together on the couch.
To make a cooked meal, all you need is a pot, a fire and a few handfuls of rice.
Then getting married should only require a couch, a glass of wine, and two people lying on it.
Why are there so many troubles!
Shusun Tong could not stand such a powerful tiger roar. He trembled on the spot and was about to leave with tears in his eyes.
Seeing his miserable expression, Xiang Yu, who had been staring at his beloved general, shifted his gaze slightly and looked at him indifferently.
The next moment, he uttered the title that made him feel infinitely happy just by reading it in his mind: "Now that the Queen has spoken, you should do as she says."
After hearing this, Shusun Tong opened his mouth slightly and did not move.
The moment the word "Queen" came out of His Majesty's mouth, it was like a flash of lightning before thunder strikes the wilderness, instantly brightening his mind!
All the mysteries that had puzzled him just now were solved in an instant.
Queen... Queen...
The queen that His Majesty is going to marry is actually this General Lu!!!
Shusun Tong was so shocked by this belated realization that he was completely burned out both inside and out.
He opened his mouth without any manners, his eyes wide open, and stared blankly at Lu Bu who was concentrating on drinking. He was unable to utter a complete word for a long time, and was unable to move.
Xiang Yu felt unhappy to see that he dared to act foolishly in front of him and kept staring at his beloved who was obviously drunk and particularly adorable.
However, after so many years, he would no longer kill people because of a little anger, so he just said indifferently: "Leave. If you encounter any difficulties, you can ask your father for help."
When it comes to the emperor's wedding, even without Shusun Tong taking the initiative to ask, Fan Zeng, as the prime minister, will definitely help with all his strength.
At this moment, Shusun Tong had no idea that the hostility was almost taking his life.
He saluted stiffly like a puppet and walked out of the hall in a daze.
He met the gaze of the guard who was curious but did not dare to ask any questions and had to endure it. He felt sad and had some pity for these people who were still kept in the dark.
That's all.
Shusun Tong tried his best to calm the turbulent waves in his heart and tried hard to think of a countermeasure.
As Your Majesty has said, marrying a great general is unprecedented... and no one should dare to imitate it in the future. It is not his turn to make decisions or have any say, and he can indeed do things without following the etiquette.
For example, whether it is the betrothal gift or the dowry, the steps of listing and reciting the list can all be eliminated - after all, you can't just recite that the Xiongnu Chanyu has only one head and a dozen Xiongnu counties!
The more Shusun Tong thought about it, the more confused he felt, and he looked like he wanted to cry but had no tears.
If there were such ceremonies in the old customs, it would be absolutely weird!
