Chapter 980: The New Lord of Jiangdong (Part II)
"Fortunately, the lord took precautions and made this will, otherwise there will inevitably be a civil strife in my Dongwu!"
At the same time, inside Sun Quan's house. Sun Quan couldn't stop crying, his eyes were bloody and tearful, and his sister-in-law, Mrs. Qiao, couldn't cry silently, but wanted to persuade Sun Quan. Sun Quan cried very sadly, without the slightest hypocrisy.
"Brother, rest in peace, Dongwu will be handed over to my younger brother, and my younger brother will be my Sun clan and create the Huangtu hegemony!!"
Sun Quan roared in his heart, and a trace of strong ambition flashed through his red eyes.
The next day, after Sun Quan was dressed, he met with the ministers of Eastern Wu in the lobby. Zhang Zhao saw that Sun Quan was haggard, and there were still tears on his face, so he hurriedly bowed down and said.
"This is not the time for the general to cry. It is advisable to deal with funerals on the one hand, and on the other hand, to manage military affairs. ”
Sun Quan and his face were sad, his expression froze, he first thanked the ministers one by one, and then ordered his brother Sun Kuang to take care of the funeral. A group of civil and military officials in Soochow immediately congratulated. Sun Quan took over the seal ribbon from Zhang Zhao and officially became the lord of Jiangdong.
However, it is said that Sun Quan was born with a big mouth, blue eyes and purple hair, and a vision on his face, which is quite emperorly. In the minds of Zhang Zhao and other strategists, they couldn't help but think of a rumor a few years ago. Let's say that when the Han envoy Liu Wan entered Wu, he saw the Sun family and Kunzhong, all of them were extraordinary, but they only attached great importance to Sun Quan, and they had a relationship with others. A certain look at the Sun brothers, although they are all talented, but they are all endless. However, Zhongmou's appearance is wonderful, his bones are very large, he is a noble watch, and he has a long life, if Jiangdong is ruled by him, or he can build the emperor's business, it is not impossible.
Sun Quan inherited Sun Ce's will and took charge of Jiangdong's affairs, Jiangdong's people's hearts gradually stabilized, Sun Quan was cautious, knew talents and used them, and handled political affairs, more stable and old than Sun Ce. The counties of Jiangdong gradually stabilized, and the people of Jiangdong saw that Sun Quan was more enlightened than his brother, and they gradually became carefree.
On the other side, Zhou Yu fought a big battle with Cao Cao on the Yangtze River, and led the generals to rush back to Wuhui with Sun Ce's coffin. Zhou Yu along the road, he had heard that Sun Quan was sad because of Sun Ce's death, so that he was very sad, but he was blessed by misfortune, and his madness was cured. Now, in accordance with the will made by Sun Ce in his early years, Sun Quan has taken over the affairs of Jiangdong. After Zhou Yu learned about this, he did not show the slightest joy, but showed a trace of indescribable grief on his face, and his eyes were stunned, as if he had lost his soul. Lu Meng secretly saw that the tiger's eyes were shining with a burst of gloomy light, Zhou Yu was extremely intelligent, if he was suspicious of Sun Quan, if he wanted to find out, it would not take long to find out the clues, and then from his in-depth investigation one by one, then what Sun Quan had done in the dark for many years, I was afraid that most of them would be known by Zhou Yu. For a while, Lu Meng's mind was spinning, and he wanted to secretly eradicate Zhou Yu, but he thought that Sun Quan had delivered it harshly, and at this time, Dongwu must not lack Zhou Yu, and he must not harm this person until he has no choice. Thinking of this, Lu Meng stopped the killing intent in his heart. Subsequently, Zhou Yu urged the army to move for days and rushed to Wuhui.
Half a month later, Zhou Yu led the army to the realm of Wuhui, Sun Quan heard this, his face changed slightly, and a trace of worry flashed in his eyes, but he shook his spirit and said to the ministers.
"Gongjin has returned, I don't have to worry about it. Hurry up and get ready, follow me to meet Gong Jin! ”
The ministers of Jiangdong listened to the order, and Sun Quan led a group of civil and military officers ten miles away from Wu County, waiting for Zhou Yu. Until the first shift of the night, gusts of wind and dust were set off in the distance, flags fluttered in the wind, and a large army was hurrying to come. Sun Quan's face froze, and then he was ecstatic, and hurriedly rushed his horse, looking at the army in front of him. A group of civil and military personnel in Jiangdong hurriedly followed.
The sound of horses' hooves broke out, Zhou Yu's eyes narrowed, and he saw that hundreds of people were riding horses in front of him, and he was the first to take the lead, wearing a purple robe, with a big mouth and blue eyes and purple hair, it was Sun Quan. Zhou Yu's face changed for a while, and finally sighed secretly, rode his horse to meet him, and when he was about to approach Sun Quan, he dismounted and knelt down.
"The criminal minister Zhou Gongjin has seen the general!!"
Sun Ce reined in the horse suddenly, hurriedly dismounted, helped Zhou Yu up, tears broke out of his eyes, and he cried.
"Gong Jin, Gong Jin. Where is my brother's coffin, take me to see it quickly! ”
Zhou Yu's face sank, suppressed the turmoil in his heart, turned around and made a move, pointing to a certain position in the army. When Sun Quan saw it, he looked like he was crazy, and ran in a panic, and he ran upside down again and again. When the generals in the army saw this, they got off their horses one after another to help. Sun Quan seemed to only have the wooden coffin carried by the soldiers in his eyes, pushed away the generals, ran straight to the wooden coffin, knelt down and wept.
"Brother, brother!! Why did you leave me!! If this Jiangdong is without you, how can it be peaceful!? ”
Sun Quan cried heartbreakingly, and the listeners were all moved, and Han Dang, Zhou Tai and other generals were comforting in a row. Sun Quan still couldn't stop crying, and the soldiers in the army listened to it, and they didn't realize that they began to cry. Zhang Zhao and other civil and military officers came from behind, and saw Sun Quan crying under Sun Ce's coffin, grief-stricken, Zhang Zhao didn't realize that he was also in tears, shaking his head and sighing.
"The brotherhood between the general and the lord is so deep that no one else can imagine. The general is really a man who values love and righteousness. ”
After Zhang Zhao finished speaking, the ministers behind him also sighed and echoed. Zhou Yu listened carefully, his face changed continuously, his eyes closed painfully, and he secretly said in his heart. Now it seems that Sun Quan has done his best to win Jiangdong's civil and military heart, and this method is so superb that it really makes people feel creepy.
When he was young, the ministers of Jiangdong came one by one, but Sun Quan still cried non-stop, and finally screamed in pain, crying to death. Han Dang's eyes widened in fright, and he hurriedly ordered the military doctor to come and visit. Sun Quan woke up half-loudly, and then started crying again, crying so much that his eyes were bloody, his crying was hoarse, and he couldn't make a sound.
Sun Quan cried all night, and when the army slowly entered the city, Sun Quan stayed by Sun Ce's coffin, crying incessantly. When the people in the city saw this, they were all moved and wept. When he was young, the armies were settled, Sun Ce's coffin moved into the mansion of Marquis Wu, and Sun Kuang handled the funeral according to Sun Quan's order.
Three days later, Sun Ce was buried east of Wuhui. Sun Quan led the Eastern Wu civil and military, dressed in decaying clothes, and finished the memorial. Sun Quan knelt and kowtowed, settled down three times, and roared sharply.
"Brother rest in peace, brother and I will work hard, lead the ministers, establish the emperor's hegemony, and hope that my brother will be blessed by heaven. In my lifetime, I will take the head of the old thief Cao and avenge your brother!! ”
"Take the head of the old thief Cao and take revenge !!"
Huang Gai, Cheng Pu and other veterans returned from Changsha and Guiyang, and the two veterans roared and roared, with monstrous hatred. When Lu Meng, Ling Tong and other young generals heard this, they also echoed and shouted.
"Take the head of the old thief Cao and take revenge !!"
Sun Ce's funeral was completed. The ministers of Jiangdong are all working hard, each holding his own position, hoping to take revenge as soon as possible. At this time, Zhou Yu couldn't get out of his illness and ignored military and political affairs for days. One day, Wu Guotai heard about this and came to Zhou Yu's mansion in person. The person was about to report, and suddenly a sound of the piano came slowly, very sad. Some people listened to it emotionally, and they didn't feel tears. Wu Guotai sighed, ordered the servants not to disturb, and then left with the sound of the piano.
Wu Guotai walked into the backyard of the house, and saw Zhou Yu sitting in a small pavilion by a lake, full of green silk fluttering in the wind, plucking the strings with his hands, and having the wind of a fairy. It's just that the sound of Zhou Yu playing the piano is too sad, and the birds and birds fly in the sky, and they also mourn.
Bite~~
The strings were suddenly broken, Zhou Yu's ten fingers were broken, and the blood flowed nonstop, and the red blood dripped on the broken strings. Wu Guotai walked towards Zhou Yu silently, Zhou Yu's expression was condensed, his eyes were empty, and there was no colored light, he slowly got up and saluted Wu Guotai. Wu Guotai saw that Zhou Yu's ten fingers were bleeding, he was very distressed, and sighed again.
"Bo Fu is dead, why does Gong Jin bother to practice himself like this?"
Zhou Yu's face was pale and his spirit was haggard, like the heroic spirit of the beautiful Zhou Lang in the past. I only heard Zhou Yu close his eyes in extreme pain and asked slowly.
"I'm tired of my mother's troubles. I don't know why my mother is here? ”
Zhou Yu and Sun Ce were sworn brothers, and when they were in Yangzhou in the past, Sun Jian was fortunate to have the help of Zhou Yu's design, so that he could escape from Yuan Shu's hands and then establish the foundation of Eastern Wu. For the Sun family, Zhou Yu is a special existence. Sun Jian treated Zhou Yu like a son, and Zhou Yu also regarded Sun Jian and his two wives as parents.
Wu Guotai's expression froze, and he said softly.
"Now that Dongwu is the time to employ people, Gongjin, you are my governor of Dongwu, how can you stay outside?"
"Mother taught me a lesson. It's just that the child is sick and sick, and it is difficult for him to go to court and deal with political and military affairs. ”
Zhou Yu seemed to have guessed Wu Guotai's intention, and immediately used his illness to push and push. Wu Guotai looked at Zhou Yu silently, and found that a trace of resentment flashed in his eyes. Wu Guotai's body shook, sighed, and suddenly took out a letter from his sleeve and said to Zhou Yu.
"Gong Jin is extremely intelligent, and he is unique in the world. It is difficult to deceive you about the affairs of the world. The old man knows Gongjin, and he has a grudge against Zhongmou's takeover of Jiangdong. But this is actually the meaning of Bo Fu, and the old body is not secretly manipulated. This document is for me to give to you. After you look at it, you will know that Bo Fu is painstaking. ”
When Zhou Yu heard this, his face changed instantly, and his originally empty eyes suddenly shot out a crystal brilliance, and he immediately took Wu Guotai's Chinese book and opened it to read. Zhou Yu's eyes flew in the words in the letter, and his body trembled. It turned out that many years ago, Sun Ce thought that he knew that Sun Quan had evil intentions towards him and wanted to seize the foundation of Jiangdong. But Sun Ce didn't break it, and let Sun Quan continue to pretend to be crazy and stupid. Over the years, Sun Ce only hoped that Sun Quan would one day change his mind, get rid of hypocrisy, assist himself by his side, and work together as brothers to manage Jiangdong affairs. But Sun Quan still pretended to be stupid, Sun Ce knew that Sun Quan regarded his brother as if he was a thorn in his eye and a thorn in his flesh, hoping to get rid of him quickly. However, Jiangdong was handed over to Sun Ce by his father after all, and Sun Ce did not dare to disobey his father's will and cede Jiangdong to Sun Quan. And he also knows that Sun Quan's talent is a hundred times better than himself, if one day, he is unlucky, the great cause is not built, and he dies first. Regardless of whether the cause of his death had anything to do with Sun Quan, he hoped that Zhou Yu would do his best to assist Sun Quan, expand Eastern Wu, help Sun Quan ascend to the throne, and unify the country.
In the last few sentences of the letter, it is written.
"Gong Jin, I only hate that my brother is incompetent, the destiny of heaven has ended, and I can no longer gallop the world with Gong Jin. My brother Sun Zhongmou, his talent is ten times better than mine, if I die, Sun is the only one who can carry forward and complete the hegemony of the emperor. My life's ambition was handed over to Zhongmou to inherit, and I hope that Gongjin will complement me wholeheartedly to complete my legacy. ”
After Zhou Yu finished watching, the tears that he had held back for many days could no longer be held back, and he couldn't stop crying, and roared in pain.
"Bo Fu's last life is here, Gong Jin dares to disobey the power of dogs and horses, and then die!!"
When Wu Guotai heard this, his face was overjoyed, and he hurriedly helped Zhou Yu up and said.
