In the wings, the atmosphere was a little gloomy.

The relationship between Sun Quan and Cai Yong has never been very good, it's not that they hate each other, on the contrary, Sun Quan respects Cai Yong very much, and Cai Yong is actually very satisfied with this son-in-law, but the two of them are equal to the collision between the ideas of the two eras, so it is always Mars that hits the earth.

Sun Quan represents a modern progressive thought, and he respects Cai Yong, but he cannot admit that Cai Yong has been guarding the old ideas inherited from Confucianism.

Cai Yong can't be said to be dissatisfied with Sun Quan's son-in-law, he just can't bear Sun Quan's always a little different ideas and always a little beyond this era and contempt for etiquette.

So whenever the two get together, it becomes a situation of mutual irony.

"Dad, if this era wants to progress, we can only move forward, not backward, and we can't always hold on to some old ideas."

Sun Quan sat in front of the bed, looked at Cai Yong, and said in a deep tone: "I have never doubted the teachings of the Confucian inheritance, and there is nothing wrong with the way of the sages, but it is undeniable that the thinking of Confucianism is somewhat stubborn, and if there is less flexibility, there will be fewer opportunities, isn't it?" ”

In his heart, he regards Cai Yong as one of the most respected elders in this world, and now Cai Yong is seriously ill, life and death, what he can do has been done, and Zhang Zhongjing's final answer to him is to be lawless.

He is not a doctor, nor is he a god, Zhang Zhongjing said that there is no help, what else can he do?

What he wants to do now is not to let Cai Yong leave with this knot.

"Stinky boy, what you said, what you think, the old man doesn't know, but he can't accept it!"

The old man was lying on the bed, his face a little silent. looked at Sun Quan's face, and sighed: "Since the old man entered Jiangdong, he has been facing some things outside of the old man's knowledge, and I have asked myself that I am enlightened enough over the years, but the way of the sages has been carved into my bones, and it must not be overturned." Do you understand? ”

"I understand, let's not talk about this matter, Dad, you still have to recuperate, you don't have to think about these things too much, it's useless to think too much, right or wrong, we'll leave it to time to judge!"

When Sun Quan heard this, he immediately understood Cai Yong's thoughts. There was a wry smile on his face.

It's a heart disease after all.

The knot in his heart is difficult to untie, Cai Yong has now entered a bull's horn, even if he knows that he is wrong, he can't get out, because he has been walking in this direction for decades.

This already involves a question of faith and thought.

When a person believes in an idea for decades, and that idea is suddenly overthrown, then his whole worldview changes.

Disciple of Confucianism. Read the books of the sages and learn the ways of the sages. Then the worldview they form will be led by the rules of Confucianism.

At this time, under the collision of Sun Quan's modern thoughts, it is already great that he is not crazy.

"Stinky boy, I'm afraid that if I don't think about it again, I'm afraid I won't have a chance in the future!"

Cai Yong got up from the bed, his eyes were a little bright, and his complexion seemed to be a little better. There was a hint of a sense of return: "I know my own life, and when Brother Kang Cheng went last year, I knew that I was going to go soon." ”

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have dragged you into the Department of Education, if it wasn't for the years you toiled. Maybe you'll live another 10 years! ”

Sun Quan's eyes were a little ruddy.

It was he who was selfish and forcibly dragged Cai Yong into the sea of the Great Wu Dynasty, and under Cai Yong's hard work, the Education Department was on track, but he was already short of energy, and it was inevitable that the oil would run out.

"Boy, you don't have to blame yourself, if the old man doesn't want to do something, no one can force it, entering the Department of Education, I am willing, one person's power is limited, but the Department of Education can make everyone in the world blessed, this is the work of the ages, when I look at the establishment of schools in my own hands, I feel that it is a supreme honor, in fact, the old man can live for ten more years, he has already been satisfied, if it weren't for you, it should be me who died in Chang'an City, not Senior Brother Zi!"

Cai Yong has not had many regrets in his life, but when Chang'an changed, he was forcibly taken back to Jiangdong by Sun Quan, and he always regarded Wang Yun's death as a knot in his heart.

That's one of his regrets.

Although he has gradually recognized the Great Wu Dynasty over the years and tried his best for the good of Great Wu, he did not go to this knot after all, and with the accumulation of time, coupled with Cai Yan's actions during this time, he couldn't afford to get sick.

"Dad, are you still blaming me?"

When Sun Quan heard this, he looked at Cai Yong's expression and said in a low voice: "Even if I didn't bring you back back back then, the Liang army would still attack the city, and Wang Yun would still jump down from the city tower, he begged for mercy, and it had nothing to do with you!" ”

"Maybe!"

Cai Yong's pale face had a self-deprecating smile: "He is kind to be benevolent, but the old man has been carrying a knot, and the old man always feels sorry for his trust in me!" ”

"That thing was done by me from beginning to end, it has nothing to do with you, if you must say I'm sorry, it's my Sun Zhongmou sorry for him!"

Sun Quan said in a deep voice.

"Your Sun Zhongmou is my son-in-law, what you do is different from what the old man did?"

After Cai Yong said this very naturally, he raised his head and stared at Sun Quan, with a touch of different color in his eyes: "Sun Zhongmou, in fact, you have not changed in my impression, if you are a Confucian disciple, you must be a guy who does not learn and has no skills, even if you now have a lot of excellent works handed down and recognized by Shilin, I still think that your skills are less than an ordinary disciple!" ”

The old man has read sage books all his life, and what he has always wanted to find in his heart is a knowledgeable and polite son-in-law like Wei Zhongdao, but Cai Yan married a freak like Sun Quan.

"Huh!"

Sun Quan smiled, the old man is discerning, and his little skills really can't hide from him.

"But the old man has to admit one thing, you Sun Zhongmou is a unique freak in this world, you kid can always do something that surprises the old man!"

Cai Yong's eyes were deep, and there was a touch of brilliance flickering: "Although the old man doesn't want to admit it, he can't deny it, you are the biggest pride in the old man's life." The old man has inherited an era, but you have changed an era, if the old man is famous in history, it is because he has the name of your grandson Zhongmou's father-in-law! ”

What Sun Zhongmou did was from the perspective of the court and the people. are impeccable, and his ideas have changed the times.

To have such a majestic son-in-law in this life, to be honest, he is already at ease.

"Dad, what you have done, even without me, is enough to leave a name in history, your proud disciple Gu Yong Xu Shu has entered and exited the temple, and your protégés are now all over the world. There are countless achievements in the world that can be achieved by you! ”

Sun Quan Lang Lang said.

"You're right, in fact, in this life, the old man is satisfied!"

The corner of Cai Yong's mouth raised a bright smile: "Zhongmou, remember the wish you told me back then, I hope that everyone in the world can study, and the old man will look at you even if he is under Jiuquan." You have to do it, and I wish I could see that day come! ”

"Daddy. Please rest assured, I will do it and never break my word! ”

Sun Quan stood up, took three steps back, then knelt down on his knees and kowtowed to Cai Yong. A firm promise.

……

Walking out of the wing, Cai Yan and Cai Feng, who were outside the wing, hurriedly greeted them, and even Xu Shu and Gu Yong rushed to the Cai family's mansion and were waiting anxiously.

"Your Majesty!"

Everyone watched Sun Quan walk out of the wing room and hurriedly saluted.

"Sister Cai. Go in and stay with him! ”

Sun Quan stretched out his hand and stroked Cai Yan's hair: "He wants to talk to you!" ”

"Good!"

Cai Yan wiped away her tears and hurriedly pushed the door and walked in.

"Zhang Zhongjing, how many days can the old man survive at most?" Sun Quan looked at Zhang Zhongjing, who had been guarding the changes in his condition, and asked,

"Three days at most!"

"Xu Shu, I let you rest for a few days, and guard him here, I can't stay here all the time, you stay here instead of me and serve him!"

Sun Quan said faintly.

"No!"

Xu Shu's eyes were red, and he nodded respectfully.

"Gu Yong, you send me back to the palace, I have something to discuss with you!" Sun Quan turned his head, looked at Gu Yong, and said.

"Yes!"

After walking out of the Cai family's mansion, it was already dark, Sun Quan's mood was obviously a little low, he sat on top of the imperial chariot, his eyes were low, and the thoughts in his mind were very chaotic.

"Gu Yong, do you think I'm too vain about Cai Yong and Zheng Xuan's thoughts all their lives?"

Sun Quan suddenly said: "I have always believed that pioneering and enterprising is the right way, so I will only move forward and never look back, but I have forgotten one thing, some things cannot be forcibly changed, and it will take ten, decades, or even hundreds of years to influence and complete!" ”

One generation, one thought.

Cai Yong's thinking of this generation cannot be reversed, even if Cai Yong's enlightened thinking and the Confucian righteousness carved in his soul cannot be changed, he knows that it is not a wrong thing, but it is difficult to accept it.

It seems that his pace is still too fast!

He is the Great Wu Emperor, and his ideas from the modern era have begun to influence countless people, especially the younger generation.

But the thinking of the older generation is stubborn, and his pace is too fast, which will sooner or later cause a collision of ideas between the two generations.

It's like Cai Yong and Cai Yan, their collision is only on the soft side, so it doesn't have much impact, and it can be regarded as bearable, but once this kind of ideological collision appears violent, it is not surprising that it will cause a military disaster.

"Your Majesty, in fact, the older generation of people are not unclear in their hearts, what is good for Da Wu and what is suitable for Da Wu, but they were originally people who came from that era, and some deep-rooted thoughts, they can't change it!"

Gu Yong rode a horse, side by side beside the emperor, and said: "In the matter of the queen's mother, although the teacher was very angry, but in the end he did not stop it, because he approved it at that time, if he hadn't approved it, with the teacher's temper, who could convince him!" ”

"But he still has a knot in his heart, Zhang Zhongjing said, this is a melancholy mood that causes the regression of physical functions, and Shouyuan is exhausted!"

"He approved it, but he couldn't bear it, the way of the sages must not be questioned in their hearts!"

Gu Yong was silent for a while before replying: "The teacher's heart knot doesn't know about a day or two, but it was actually left many years ago. Over time, there will be no power to return to the sky, which has nothing to do with Your Majesty and the Queen's mother! ”

"Can't bear it?"

Sun Quan's eyes were gloomy, he thought about it in his heart, and thought for a while: "It seems that we will be involved in these ideological reforms in the future, and we will have to come step by step. Can't be impatient, these Confucians are all treasures, it's really inappropriate to kill a few in anger, and some deep-rooted thoughts are still changed with potential influence. ”

"Your Majesty, I heard that the military has prepared a new reform!"

Hearing this, Gu Yong looked at Sun Quan and asked tentatively.

"That's right, it's not a small move. Many establishments will be overturned, and not only the military, but also in the cabinet will change, there is no perfect system in the world, it can only be constantly supplemented! ”

Sun Quan replied calmly: "Do you have a study of the nine-grade Zhongzheng system of the Great Wei Dynasty?" ”

"There's a little bit of research!"

"It's good to have research, you're going to research it, and then you can get the best out of it. Integrate into our Dawu court system, remember that the official system of Dawu cannot change much. Just borrowed the Jiupin Zhongzheng system, modified it, and handed over a plan in the name of the ministry, which was completed within a month, and Zhou Yu was about to be transferred out of the cabinet, and the position of the cabinet successor. You're already the best hope, but you have to get results! ”

Sun Quan looked at Gu Yong: "Don't let me down!" ”

"Wechen understands!"

Gu Yong's eyes were bright, if he could preside over this change, it would be a great opportunity to accumulate influence.

Cabinet Chief!

This is the goal of every cabinet minister, under one person. Under the tens of thousands of people, he was naturally moved, especially after Zhou Yu was leaving the cabinet, he was more confident.

Lu Su is good in terms of ability, but in terms of qualifications, he is slightly inferior to him.

――――――――――――――――――

Mayday, the early summer season is coming.

Kushan Empire.

Fulou Shacheng.

This is the capital of the Kushan Empire, and it is also the last defensive line of the Kushan Empire in the face of the Great Wu soldiers and horses, and tens of thousands of Wu troops have come to this defensive line, stationed outside the city, waiting for the final attack.

In the large camp, General Wu Wei and Zhou Tai, the commander of the Sea Eagle Battalion, were wearing battle armor and standing tall in front of a huge screen map.

"The Guishan army in the city has only 10,000 soldiers and horses at most, but they are all first-class elites, and they are the last warriors of Guishan, this battle is difficult to fight, do you have a good strategy?"

Zhou Tai turned his head, stared at the generals, and asked in a deep voice.

In the face of the strong attack of the Wu army, the Kushan Empire was already showing a rout as early as last year, and after the beginning of the spring of this year, the Wu army began to launch the final general achievement, step by step, capturing one city after another, and now it has finally hit the capital.

As long as they can successfully take this capital of the Kushan Empire, the Kushan will be equivalent to the destruction of the country.

However, this is also the most difficult bone for the Wu army, the last elite soldiers and horses of the Kushan Empire are here, if they attack strongly, even if they can take it, they will have to pay heavy casualties.

"General, my subordinates think that at this time we should withdraw from Fulousha and retreat to Patna!"

A young man in a Confucian robe, wearing a scarf on his head and holding a feather fan, took a step forward and said.

"Kong Ming, what do you mean by this?"

Zhou Tai looked at the young man in the Confucian robe, his brows furrowed.

This young man is the current chief of staff of the Sea Eagle Battalion, Zhuge Liang, who was born in the Shu Army.

Zhuge Kongming has been in the Kushan Empire for almost half a year, he has gone from not adapting, to adapting, and finally gradually becoming familiar with the life and battles here, the transformation is very fast, and the adaptability is also very fast.

It was precisely because of his assistance that Zhou Tai's army was overwhelmed and went all the way to the capital of the Kushan Empire.

Originally, the strategic goal that they needed three years to complete had almost been completed in just half a year, and most of the power came from Zhuge Liang, the power of one person, comparable to an army of 100,000.

So Zhou Tai now trusts him very much.

"Advance by retreating!"

Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan, his expression was natural, and his faint voice was full of wisdom: "We are now approaching the city, so that the Guishan soldiers in the city tense their nerves and stare at us, this is not suitable for us to attack!" ”

"Even if it's a strong attack, I'm confident that I can take Fulousha!"

Zhou Tai said in a deep voice.

"That's right, with our troops, it is not difficult to take the city of Fulousha, and it is not difficult to kill the King of Guishan, but have you ever thought about the price of this casualty."

Zhuge Liang said faintly: "I'm sure that if you want to break through here, you will have to pay at least three times the casualties, can you afford it?" ”

"Do you have a plan?"

"There is no good solution, but there is a stupid way!" Zhuge Liang smiled and said, "Wait!" ”

"What are you waiting for?"

"Wait for reinforcements!" Zhuge Liang said: "As soon as our reinforcements arrive, Guishan will die!" ”

"Where do we have reinforcements?" A division commander asked.

"Yes!"

Zhuge Liang said: "Have you forgotten the official document that Jinyiwei gave us some time ago? ”

"You mean, the Liangzhou soldiers and horses in the north?"

Zhou Tai's eyes lit up, but his face quickly darkened: "That's really waiting, according to the news, they have just gained a foothold in the Western Regions, and if they want to break through Loulan and go south to Guishuang, it will take at least half a year, I don't have this time!" (To be continued.) )

PS: Don't say it's unfinished, I didn't finish the update, it's because of a cold, the weather has changed too much these days, I've been a little dizzy since yesterday, my throat hurts today, I drink a sip of water, I sleep or sleep, my head is dizzy, and I can code words, it's already good!
