Chapter 30 Between Monarchs and Ministers
Cai's mansion was covered with white silk, and the doorman was dressed in linen and filial piety.
In the living room, Cai Mao sat on the main seat in plain clothes, and the rest of the family sat on their chairs.
Cai He's face was full of anger, "Big brother, it's been two days since my father died, but Sun Jian didn't mention this matter at all, so to protect the children of the family, how can my Cai family work for him!" ”
Cai Zhong sneered and said: "Although Sun Jian scattered the soldiers and horses in various cities and tuntian, the eldest brother Yu Xiangyang still has 20,000 soldiers and horses, and he Sun Jian does not respect my Cai family, we can find another master!" ”
"Tell the son, the military advisor sacrificed Jiujiang and asked to see him outside the door."
"This is Sun Jian's loyal eagle dog, tell him not to see a fart!" Cai He let out a loud shout.
Cai Mao, who was sitting on the main seat, said lightly, "Take him to my study." ”
Cai He said: "What is the eldest brother still doing now?!" ”
"As long as we don't rebel for a day, we will still be the courtiers of the commonplace."
Jiang Wen was led by the doorman to the study, and Cai Mao pushed the door in. Jiang Wen saluted and said, "The lower official and military division sacrificed wine, and Jiang Wen met the general." ”
"Today's court hall, thank you for the sacrificial wine for me to detour left and right," Cai Mao bowed and took out two cushions, "Please take a seat." ”
Jiang Wen and Cai Mao sat on the seat.
Cai Mao said expressionlessly: "I have already been on the table for the sacrificial wine, and I have been filial piety for my father for three years, what official business do you want to talk about when the sacrificial wine comes to me?" ”
Jiang Wen said with a light smile: "In the past, Wu Zixu's father and son were killed, fled from Chu to Wu, and a few years later invaded the Chu State, dug up the tomb of King Chuping and whipped the corpse three hundred times to avenge the revenge of the father and son. ”
The meaning of the words made Cai Mao's expression move, Cai Mao looked at Jiang deeply and asked, pretending to be casual and said: "Wu Zixu is a figure in the Warring States Period, and he wants to talk to me about the annals of history when he says this?" ”
"What does the lower official mean, the general knows that the lower official just wants to say that Wu Zixu's fate is not good." Jiang Wen picked up the porcelain bowl and took a sip of water, squinting his eyes slightly.
"The sacrificial wine is quick," Cai Mao's eyes slowly revealed murderous intent, "Since the sacrificial wine is already known, aren't you afraid of the executioners in my mansion?!" ”
Jiang Wen said unhurriedly: "Because the lower official knows that General Hou will not be such an irrational person, if he raises troops to rebel, it will be temporary, but it will be the incense of the Cai family." ”
"I'm not a soldier under Sun Jian, in fact, I will take refuge in Sun Jian, a large part of it is because of the sacrificial wine!" Cai Mao slowly restrained the murderous aura on his body, "Although the sacrificial wine is still young, I admire the talent and insight of the sacrificial wine, and I also admire Zi Rou and Heterodu, and I firmly believe that with the assistance of the sacrificial wine, Sun Jian will reach the last step." ”
"But above the court today, how can he Sun Jian be worthy of my filial piety!" Cai Mao roared abruptly, with bloodshot eyes in her eyes, "My father's seventy feast, such a festive day, why would someone become like this, and what did he Sun Jian do!" ”
"Although Xia Guan lost his parents in his early years, he also understood the heart of the general, when the Yellow Turban Uprising, in order to save Xia Guan's life, my father let the Yellow Turban thief cut ten knives, and the meat flowers splashed on my face at that time, until my second uncle rescued me, my father dared to close his eyes......"
"The big mistake of people is disloyalty and unfilial piety, the wish of the father of the general must be the prosperity of the family, the general is a big sin of the three clans in one fell swoop, against the wishes of the old man, this is unfilial piety, now the general is a courtier of Sikong, if the general raises the anti-flag, it is disloyal."
"At this moment, there must be a river of blood in Xiangyang City! Now Xiangyang City is also a thief level, the market is prosperous, in Xiangyang City finally settled down the people are looking forward to a more lasting peace, if you experience this war, you must be ruined, the general really wishes so? ”
"Does General Hou really want to be a disloyal and unfilial person, a person who has been insulted by the people?"
Cai Mao laughed and said: "My father was killed, if I don't avenge my father, talk about filial piety, you have a fault, treat your ministers like mustard, talk about loyalty!" ”
Jiang Wen stood up from the mat and solemnly saluted Cai Mao, "Now that everything is in ruins, there are strong enemies outside, Sikong and the people still need to rely on talents like General Hou, General Hou also said that taking refuge in Sikong is the ability to trust the lower official, since you trust the lower official, please let the general be at ease and keep filial piety, and the lower official will reply to the general within three months!" ”
"If the general doesn't trust the lower officer, he can bleed five steps now, and the general will raise troops to rebel!"
There was silence in the study for a while, and after four breaths, Cai Mao stood up and returned the salute solemnly, and said: "The talent of sacrificial wine, I am willing to believe that my official position today is also thanks to the recommendation of sacrificial wine, please sacrificial wine for this matter!" ”
Jiang Wen left Cai's mansion and got into the carriage.
Returning to the Jiang Mansion, Jiang Wen looked at the bamboo slips in front of him, frowned and thought deeply, "Tao Er quickly go and invite Ziming to come to my mansion, and ask if Bo Fu and Gong Jin have returned." ”
"Yes."
It is difficult to fight the world, and it is even more difficult to govern the world, and the identity of the monarch and the minister is really an embarrassing estrangement......
Lu Meng walked into Jiang Wen's mansion, "What's the good thing, ask me to come to your mansion?" ”
"Come, sit." Jiang Wen took a cushion, "Ziming, you have followed Sikong since you were a child, do you know Sun Zhong's person?" ”
"Sun Zhong? That's a splash," Lu Meng thought for a while and said angrily, "Once I went to exterminate Shanyue, the grain and grass that should have arrived in five days were five days late because of this person, so naturally we suffered a defeat, and we fled for ten days to get out of trouble!" ”
"What a sin is this delay in military rations? But it is still light, because this Sun Zhong is the last child of one of Sikong's brothers, because when Sikong was young and crusading against the bandits, this brother saved Sikong himself but died, Sikong raised this brother's child as his own son, and even gave Sun the surname. ”
"It's just that neither Bo Fu nor other family members look down on this person, he doesn't learn all day long, he is idle, and he can be scared half to death on the last horse!"
Tao Er walked in, bowed to Jiang Wen and said, "Childe, General Zhonglang has sent back a letter, saying that he will return in three days, and will invite Childe to a wedding banquet then." ”
Hearing Tao'er's report, Jiang Wen nodded, and Lu Meng said with a little surprise: "Bo Fu really married the daughter of Qiao Gong in this line, these two Qiao are stunning!" ”
Lu Meng's words made Tao Er roll her eyes and said, "Zhonglang will be much better looking than Ziming, how can you not marry?" ”
"What's the use of looking good?" Tao'er's words Lu Meng was a little disdainful, muttered a few words secretly, and then looked at Tao'er with a wicked smile.
Tao Er was seen inexplicably and took her body.
Lu Meng suddenly turned to Jiang Wen and said: "A few days ago, Changsu, I saw a woman in the post house, it was very beautiful, do you want to accompany me to see it later, if you are satisfied, you can marry her directly!" ”
"No way!" Without waiting for Jiang to answer the question, Tao Er was like a female leopard, and said with a somewhat urgent face.
"I'm inviting Changsu, not you, what's your hurry?"
…………
The two who quarreled did not disturb Jiang Wen's thoughts, and after Jiang Wen lowered his head and thought about it for a long time, he already had a plan in his heart, but Jiang Wen was not very sure whether this strategy would succeed.
However, since Sun Jian has the heart of an emperor, he hopes that this strategy can be successful.
