Chapter 369: Lu Su was wronged
Chapter 369
"Sir, look at this letter......" In Zhang Zhao's study, Sun Shao held a letter written by Liu Ye to Lu Su. In the letter.
Zhang Zhao took the letter, he just looked up and was surprised, it was written: Zi Jing my brother! Zhang Zhao hurriedly flipped to the end, and the payment turned out to be: Foolish brother Yang!
Zijing is Lu Su, and Ziyang is Liu Ye. Sun Shao may not know who Liu Ye is, but he must have seen that this is a letter to Lu Su.
"How did you get this letter?" Zhang Zhao did not continue to look down, but first asked Sun Shaoxin about his origin.
"It was one of my doormen who caught a sneaky outsider outside the city. Searched from him, I heard his accent like Jiangbei. Mo is not ......" It was precisely because of the northern accent of the messenger that attracted the attention of Sun Shao's guest.
The letter was in Sun Shao's hands, and Sun Shao naturally didn't dare to slack off, because it involved Lu Su. Although the letter contains old elements, if it involves Guangling, it is too shou Chen Deng. Sun Shao had to be vigilant.
"This epistle is false! It was forged by the enemy. It's the same as the rumors some time ago, if others ask about the origin of this letter, Childe must not say it! After carefully reading the contents of the letter. Immediately detain the letter and get Sun Shao out!
It's not that Zhang Zhao doubts the authenticity of this letter, let alone to shield Lu Su. Zhang Zhao knew that the matter was serious, and Sun Shao must not be involved again. If Sun Shao comes forward, Sun Quan will definitely anger Sun Shao, no matter what the truth is, Sun Shaodu will not get Sun Quan's trust.
After seeing Sun Shao's stupid departure, Zhang Zhao immediately went to see Sun Quan with a letter.
In Zhang Zhao's view, if this letter is true, then Sun Quan can alienate Lu Su and regain his trust. And even if it's not true, Sun Quan can't do anything to Zhang Zhao, at most, he is even more disgusted and alienated himself.
After weighing the severity, Zhang Zhao still decided to report to Sun Quan.
"My lord, Zhao occasionally gets a letter today...... Zhao knows that Zijing is the pillar of my Jiangdong, and Zhao definitely has no intention of slandering important ministers.
It's just that this matter is very involved, and if you think about it, even if there is only a one percent chance of this matter, you should tell the lord truthfully. Please be aware of it! ”
"Oh, what's so serious?" Sun Quan didn't treat Zhang Zhao very well, but when he heard that Zhang Zhao was telling him about Lu Su, he naturally regarded Zhang Zhao as a villain.
"My lord, please take a look." Zhang Zhao also cautiously handed the letter to Sun Quan, with a very complicated expression.
Sun Quan took the letter very disdainfully, and while reading it, he also glanced at Zhang Zhao a few times. After reading the letter, he glared at Zhang Zhao with disdain: "Mr. Zibu is really idle, this is obviously a fabricated fake letter, do you still have something to show me?" ”
Of course, Sun Quan didn't believe that Lu Su would collaborate with the enemy, not to mention that this letter fell into Zhang Zhao's hands!
"Lord, Zhao doesn't believe this either!" Seeing Sun Quan's anger, Zhang Zhao had no choice but to find himself under the stairs, "Zhao came to find the lord, and it was also to correct his son's name."
If Zhao can receive such a letter today, others will receive the same tomorrow......"
"Well, I just had a bad attitude. But you look at this matter...... "Seeing that Zhang Zhao did not come to target Lu Su, Sun Quan's attitude changed. If Zhang Zhao slandered and impeached Lu Su as soon as he came in, Sun Quan would definitely not ignore Zhang Zhao.
But now what Zhang Zhao said is indeed reasonable, no matter what, he is at least still a military advisor of the General's Mansion. No matter what Sun Quan thinks of him, it is a matter of Jiangdong's safety and the reputation of Jiangdong's important ministers, Zhang Zhao did not publicize it everywhere with the letter, but did not do anything wrong when he came to see Sun Quan!
The more Zhang Zhao spoke for Lu Su, the more serious Sun Quan's suspicion became, he looked at the letter, and asked, "Sir, what do you think?" ”
"Lord, this matter must be the enemy's divisive plan, Zhao will go down to arrest the spies, please give your full support to Zhao!"
"Don't worry, it's true or not, let Zibu come and identify it." Of course, Sun Quan did not believe that Lu Su would collaborate with the enemy, and he said this only to convince Zhang Zhao.
"No, my lord. This is not fair to Zijing! ”
Although Zhang Zhao is close to Sun Quan and Lu Su, he has far his own ideas. But it's about Lu Su's reputation, if Sun Quan is like this, wouldn't it just fall for the enemy's discordant scheme? Zhang Zhao is a strategist, and he is definitely not the kind of villain who falls into the well.
If Lu Su did collaborate with the enemy, Zhang Zhao would naturally not cover up, but before the matter was investigated, it was very dangerous to let Sun Quan suspect Lu Su. In the future, when things are clarified, not only Lu Su will blame himself for telling right and wrong.
And Sun Quan will not reflect on himself, but will only be angry with Zhang Zhao. This is obviously not the result that Zhang Zhao wants!
"Why not? Didn't you say that Zijing must not do such a thing, and that this letter was a discordant ploy of the enemy's spies? Then Zijing read this letter, and all the truth was revealed. Of course Sun Quan believed in Lu Su.
It's Zhang Zhao, Sun Quan thinks that although Zhang Zhao is so covering for Lu Su on his lips, he may not know what to think in his heart, this time Sun Quan is also to protect Lu Su, and he doesn't want Zhang Zhao to grab any tricks.
"This ......" Seeing Sun Quan's resolute attitude, Zhang Zhao was not easy to stop. After all, deep down in his heart, Zhang Zhao still had a trace of thought. Hopefully the letter is fake, but what if it's true? And Sun Quan is obviously trying to make himself die, if he stops again, he will be suspicious of Sun Quan......
After a while, Lu Su was invited, and Sun Quan waited for Lu Su to sit down and asked, "Zijing, do you know Liu Ziyang in Jiangbei?" ”
Lu Su was stunned for a moment and looked at Zhang Zhao, wanting to capture some information. But Zhang Zhao's face was expressionless, calm as water. Lu Su had no choice but to look at Sun Quan again, and it was obvious that Sun Quan was looking forward to returning too much.
"I know, I had a relationship when I was young...... Why did the lord suddenly ask about him? ”
"Oh, here's a letter from him, can you see it's his handwriting?" Sun Quan waved the letter in his hand and looked at Lu Su very complicatedly.
Lu Su hurriedly got up, came to hit Sun Quan's side to take the letter, and looked at it carefully. Looking at it, Lu Su's face changed uncertainly, from surprise to anger, and in the end, there was even a trace of loss. After reading the letter, Lu Su understood why Sun Quan hurriedly found him.
But there were only Zhang Zhao and Sun Quan at the scene. Obviously, this is not a matter of discussing military and political affairs. This Liu Ye himself definitely knew, not only did he know, but also the episode before coming to Jiangdong, Lu Su originally thought that no one would know about Zhou Yu's death.
But now, apparently, there are other people who know and have told Sun Quan and Zhang Zhao about it. Lu Su didn't want to explain, the explanation at this time was so pale and weak. Fortunately, Sun Quan didn't seem to be angry?
But soon Sun Quan asked Lu Su questions.
"Zijing, is this Liu Ziyang's handwriting?"
There were only three people in the empty conference hall: Sun Quan, Zhang Zhao, and Lu Su. After Sun Quan's words fell, the conference hall was surprisingly quiet, and Sun Quan and Zhang Zhao both held their breath. Sun Quan didn't even look at Lu Su, but looked at Zhang Zhao with a smile.
Zhang Zhao obviously didn't expect Sun Quan to take this method to identify the authenticity of the letter, which was clearly to tell Lu Su, look, Zhang Zhao is framing you, but I didn't believe it! Zhang Zhao is also highly respected in Jiangdong, but this embarrassment is really the first time he has encountered it.
Zhang Zhao avoided Sun Quan's eyes and looked at Lu Su with a slight apology and embarrassment. Hopefully he will forgive himself!
At this time, Lu Su was also on pins and needles, and after a few breaths of silence, he spit out two words with difficulty: "Yes!" ”
"What?" Sun Quan and Zhang Zhao spoke in unison, both of them had their mouths open, and their jaws were about to fall.
Yes? Is this Liu Ye's handwriting? Isn't it a conspirator? If so, no matter what Lu Su's attitude is, then Liu Ye at least unilaterally wants to contact Lu Su! In other words, Lu Su may have really been in contact with Liu Ye before this!!
Otherwise, Liu Ye's wording in his heart would not be so enthusiastic and casual. Sun Quan and Zhang Zhao couldn't believe the authenticity of Liu Ye's handwriting at the time of the letter in front of them. Sun Quan even thought about it, just waiting for Lu Su to veto it in person, so he ridiculed Zhang Zhao, and even thought of the lines.
Sun Quan definitely didn't want to investigate the truth of the matter, but to make Zhang Zhao die, but the matter was completely unexpected by him!
Zhang Zhao didn't believe it at all, this was really Liu Ye's real work, and even Lu Su shouldn't admit it. It can only be said that this Lu Su is too generous, Zhang Zhao not only looked down on Lu Su, but admired Lu Su even more.
The complexity of the hearts of these three people at this moment is by no means clear in a few words. In the end, it was Lu Su who took the initiative to break the embarrassment: "However, my lord, Su and Liu Ziyang have not been in contact for more than ten years, and this letter ......"
This is really a strange injustice, Lu Su is a kind person, he didn't lie, how do he think this letter is Liu Ye's handwriting. And since it fell into the hands of Sun Quan, it added a bit of authenticity, but Lu Su felt that he had a clear conscience, so he answered truthfully.
"Oh, the guards got it by accident!" This time, Sun Quan took the matter over. Since this letter is really Liu Ye's genuine handwriting, then Zhang Zhao has done nothing wrong, no matter what Lu Su did, at least Zhang Zhao did his duty as a courtier.
Of course, Sun Quan still trusts Lu Su, and of course he doesn't want Lu Su and Zhang Zhao to have a stalemate. But now Sun Quan regretted it a little, regretting that he did not listen to Zhang Zhao's advice and investigate privately, but directly brought Lu Su to confront him.
And Sun Quan couldn't have imagined that Lu Su admitted his relationship with Liu Ye so openly, and confirmed that this letter was Liu Ye's true handwriting in front of Zhang Zhao and himself!
In this way, the three of them are very embarrassed, and if the three of them each have their own knots in their hearts, it is not worth it. Although Sun Quan didn't like Zhang Zhao, it was just a political discord. But Sun Quan still recognized Zhang Zhao's talent. The three of them can be regarded as the core of the Jiangdong Group, and now this core is looking at each other awkwardly in the conference hall!
