Chapter 383: Infighting
"It's okay not to get drunk, but there is an appointment first, and after getting drunk, no matter what I say or do, I won't admit it."
"What will you say and what will you do?" Mrs. Sun squinted at Cao Miao, with a smile in the corner of her eyes. "It didn't matter, but when you say that, I really want to get you drunk."
Cao Miao snorted. "Drunk me? Madame, you think so much of yourself. Don't look at me all afternoon, trying to get me drunk, it's really not that easy. ”
"Really?" Mrs. Sun clapped her hands, called the female guards, and asked them to inform Aunt Ren to prepare two wines.
The wine was delivered quickly, and it was all a big wine, one stone at a time.
Looking at the beautifully decorated wine honor, Cao Miao showed timidity. A rough estimate shows that this wine is nearly twenty catties, even if it is beer, it must be poured down. What's more, these wines are comparable to the rice wine of later generations, and the degree is much higher than that of beer.
This is far beyond his capabilities.
This woman is so fierce?
"I have to rush back tomorrow, and I can't drink too much, so I am limited to this respect." Mrs. Sun opened the wine, scooped up a little wine and tasted it, and nodded with satisfaction. "After all, it's from Luoyang, this wine is really good." She looked at Cao Miao and said with a smile: "Don't be reluctant, drink if you can, even if you can't drink, just take it soft." I really drank you badly, and when Dahu asks in the future, I, as an aunt, will not be easy to explain. ”
Cao Miao smiled: "Madame is so refreshing, I have no choice but to sacrifice my life to accompany me." From now on, you can't do what you say or do. After speaking, he opened the wine honor, scooped up a glass of wine, drank it all, and smacked his lips exaggeratedly.
Mrs. Sun laughed, a hint of pride flashing in her eyes.
She is still confident in her alcohol consumption, even if Cao Miao has a good alcohol consumption, she will not be better than her. Cao Miao drank for a long time in the afternoon, even if he restrained himself, he had six or seven percent of the wine, and at the end of the strong crossbow, there was no chance of winning with her. Looking at Cao Miao's expression, he also knew that he was very resistant, but he just let go of his shame and was unwilling to admit defeat.
Men, especially men of this age, have a few who are willing to admit defeat, and they are against a woman.
She has seen too many such people.
From another point of view, this is also a good opportunity to get drunk Cao Miao. Although she decided to cooperate with Cao Miao, she still had some doubts in her heart. If you can take this opportunity to listen to Cao Miao's drunken words, you may be able to help her make a decision.
Cao Miao obviously knew this, so although he resisted, he did not categorically refuse.
She was very satisfied with that.
If Cao Miao resolutely refuses to drink, it means that he is not as honest as he appears, and what she sees may be an illusion, an illusion that he carefully concealed.
Then she had to make other preparations.
——
Sun Deng's face was calm, he looked at Gu Tan in front of him, and didn't say a word.
After Chen Biao reported to him about the banquet, he was waiting for this moment.
Gu Tan is young Meng Lang, and he is no longer suitable to be his mentor and friend, but he can't take the initiative to propose, so he can only wait for Gu Tan's resignation.
Gu Tan is the support of the Wu Jun family for him as a prince, and his attitude towards Gu Tan is not only for himself, but also for the Wu Jun family. Even if Gu Tan resigns, he can't be without Wu Jun people by his side, even if he can't find a suitable candidate, there must be one.
This candidate is not something he can decide, or even King Wu can decide, it depends on the election of the Wu Jun family.
Gu Tan's move caused a lot of damage. Not only for Gu Tan himself, but for him, the consequences were even more serious. His father, Sun Quan, originally felt that he was not strong enough and was influenced by the Wu Jun family, so he deliberately cultivated his younger brother Sun Quan, let him lead the army, and arranged for Quan Cong and Mrs. Sun to assist. Now being humiliated in front of a Wei descendant will confirm Sun Quan's worries about him.
Therefore, it is impossible to protect Tan, unless he doesn't want to be this prince anymore.
Gu Tan took the initiative to resign, which was good, but he couldn't agree too happily, and he had to show enough intention to stay, so as not to resentful Gu Tan and affect his relationship with the Wu Jun family.
"Zimo, you're thinking seriously, why is this happening?"
Gu Tan smiled bitterly. He has been by Sun Deng's side for so long, and he knows Sun Deng's character very well, and he knows even more about the difficulties Sun Deng faces. Sun Deng could fight for the position of queen for Lady Xu, but that was if Sun Quan was unwilling to touch the interests of the Wu Jun family. If Sun Quan was determined and really wanted to suppress the Wujun family, Sun Deng would not dare to resist.
In the recent Ji Yan and Zhang Wen cases, Sun Deng's performance was like this.
"The eldest father has an order, and he doesn't dare to disobey."
"Gu Xiang's temper ......" Sun Deng sighed, looking helpless. Of course, he knew Gu Yong's temper, and he also knew that Gu Yong had spoken, and this matter could not be reversed. "Even so, you don't have to be in such a hurry, let's delay for a few days. I'm going to ask my father for an edict, and maybe there's a turnaround. ”
Gu Tan thanked him and retreated. Everyone is an adult, how can he not understand these scenes.
Chen Biao stepped forward to speak, but Gu Tan ignored him, kept walking, and turned to leave. Chen Biao stood there awkwardly, speechless and smiling bitterly.
Sun Deng waved his hand and motioned to Chen Biao not to mind. Gu Tan's temper, everyone knows that he was not a humble person in the first place. The Jiangdong Department and the Huaisi Department fought openly and secretly, and there were already differences, this time Gu Tan was hit hard, and it was impossible for him to have no resentment in his heart, maybe he thought that Chen Biao said something from it, and how could he have the stomach to maintain the politeness on the surface.
"Where is the Governor at the moment?" Sun Deng asked.
"When we left, we were still on Shih Tzu. It's so late, I shouldn't have entered the palace. ”
Sun Deng patted his forehead. "It's better to do that so that we can at least take the initiative." He looked up at the sky outside. "It's so late, I won't go into the palace to disturb my father's rest, and I will enter the palace early tomorrow morning."
"Your Highness is very true." Chen Biao said: "Do you want to invite your uncle to discuss?" Although this matter started because of Cao Miao, it is by no means so simple. When necessary, Zhang Gong may need to come forward. ”
Sun Deng crooked his mouth. When it comes to Zhang Zhao, he doesn't know what to say. In terms of qualifications, Zhang Zhao is the one who can compete with Gu Yong, but his temper is too troublesome.
"When does Yu Zhongxiang estimate that he will be able to arrive in Wuchang? This official has both civil and military skills, and he is the most suitable to deal with Cao Miao. ”
"Yu Zhongxiang is far away in Jiaozhou, and I am afraid that he will not be able to rush back before July. Sun Dudu returned to the city, obviously the suppression of the bandits was successful, and the Marquis of Jianchang was about to make a meritorious service, and he could triumph at any time. When the dust settles, even if Yu Zhongxiang returns to Wuchang, he will not be able to change the fait accompli. It is better for Zhang Gong to come forward and admonish, maybe it can delay for some time. ”
Sun Deng looked at Chen Biao and stopped talking. Chen Biao's suggestion was a good suggestion, but he couldn't help but suspect that Chen Biao had other ideas, after all, he was also from Huaisi. Compared with the Huiji person Yu Xuan, Chen Biao is obviously more inclined to Zhang Zhao, a native of Pengcheng.
"I'll think again." Sun Deng rubbed his temples and let out a long sigh.
