Chapter 670: Balancing the Cabinet
In September, it is already late in the second half of the year.
This year, the autumn time is relatively early, Jinling City has come out of the scorching summer, these days the temperature drops suddenly, cool, the leaves are colorful.
A beautiful scene in early autumn emerged in this majestic capital of Wu.
Intramuros.
Fengyi Palace.
In the inner hall room, Sun Quan was wearing a relatively thin pajamas, and suddenly woke up from his dream, and sat up from the bed suddenly, sweating profusely.
He looked at the antique scene in the wing room and breathed a sigh of relief.
Dreaming, as if returning to the present, as if this qiē is all illusory.
"Sometimes, I really wonder if this qiē is just a dream!"
He rubbed his temples with both hands, then picked up a glass of water from the side of the bed, took a sip, moistened his dry throat, and said to himself.
Bizarre rebirth, on the battlefield, killing people, Jin Ge Iron Horse, fighting for world domination, this qiē is so real, to this day, he is on the throne, the power is all over the world, but there are some gains and losses in his heart.
I'm afraid that one day, this qiē will become a dream.
"Husband, it's cold, wear more clothes!"
At this time, Cai Yan stepped barefoot on the ground of the small wooden plank, walked in with a piece of washed face water, put a robe on Sun Quan's body, and then wiped the cold sweat on his forehead with a wet towel, and asked softly: "Such a big cold sweat, is it a nightmare?" You haven't slept well in the past few days, what are you worried about? ”
"How can there be so many things to worry about, it's just that there are more things to think about recently!"
Sun Quan listened to his wife's crisp and pleasant voice, and his heart was a little more steady, he smiled slightly, and said, "And I seem to have a headache." So I just can't sleep well! ”
"Headache? Do you want to ask Dr. Zhang to take a look? When Cai Yan heard this, he suddenly felt a little worried in his heart, and hurriedly leaned on his back, knelt on the bed with his legs, rubbed his temples for him with a pair of smooth jade hands, and whispered.
"It's not a big deal. I guess I'm overdone! ”
Sun Quan enjoyed the head massage of the beautiful jade hand, and his handsome face showed a comfortable smile, and said: "The state affairs are busy, these years, the king, it is estimated that they are all tired to death!" ”
Ancient and modern, the emperor's life is short, Sun Quan is wondering if there are too many things to consider. Overuse your brain!
"Nonsense!"
When Cai Yan heard this, he said coquettishly: "My husband has the longest life!" ”
"It's so late, you don't have to go to the academy today?" Sun Quan smiled slightly, his eyes suddenly saw the hour displayed by the hourglass in front of the window, and hurriedly asked.
"Today the academy is closed!"
Cai Yan smiled and said: "I am not only the sacrifice wine of the academy, but also the current queen, and the affairs of the harem have to be dealt with." So I don't often go to the academy in the future, the academy. I've already picked a new sacrificial wine! ”
Although Sun Quan allowed her to leave the palace and continue to serve as the sacrificial wine of the women's college, she was the queen after all, and there were many things to avoid, and she was already looking for someone to succeed her position.
"Is there something wrong with the academy?" Sun Quan's eyes moved slightly and asked.
A woman is virtuous if she is not talented. Reading is too trampling on etiquette for women in this era, so although Jiangdong Women's Academy has created a new way out for women over the years, the results are not great.
At the beginning, there was a lot of enrollment. But there are not many women who can persevere in studying.
Because a talented woman is just a name, there is no precedent for using women as officials in the DPRK and China, and I don't know what to do when I read it.
"There are many people in the court who mention yì and close the girls' academy, because they think that even if a woman studies, it is useless, and in the end she still has to marry and have children, and now there are not many students in the academy, and for them, studying has lost its goal!" Cai Yan thought about it for a while before he whispered.
"I can't help you with this!" Sun Quan said helplessly: "Reading is to enter the office, everyone in the world knows it, but everything must be gradual, the humble status of women is a rule that has been passed down for many years, and I can't change it, I dare to use women as officials here, and tomorrow there will be ministers who will die in front of the palace gate!" ”
"I know!" Cai Yan nodded, Sun Quan was already working very hard to achieve this step.
"Give me ten years, and I can open the way for women to enter the ranks!" Sun Quan stretched out his hand, held her soft and smooth little hand, and said firmly.
"I believe in you!" Cai Yan said firmly.
"By the way, you said just now that you were busy with the harem, what's the matter in the harem?"
Sun Quan suddenly asked with some doubts, he is just two queens, and they are living in peace, there should be no intrigue palace fighting in the novel.
"If you don't ask about this, I will also talk to you well, and the queen mother will give you a concubine!"
Cai Yan smiled, the corners of her eyebrows were curved, as good as the moon, but she obviously added a little more force to Sun Quan's hand to massage his head, looking at Sun Quan, Yin and Yang said strangely: "I don't know what type our king likes, let's talk to the concubine, let the concubine complete the task of the queen mother!" ”
"Concubine?"
When Sun Quan heard this, a pair of amber crystalline eyes instantly emitted a wolf's light, for beautiful women, men have an unsatisfied heart, but they just care about whether they can suppress themselves.
However, as soon as he saw his daughter-in-law's gnashing of teeth, he quickly restrained himself from looking like a pig brother, and said seriously: "Nonsense, this king has never said that he wants to take a concubine, this matter has nothing to do with me!" ”
"King, you wipe your saliva clean before you say this!"
Cai Yan pursed his lips and pinched his temples fiercely, saying.
"Is there one?"
Sun Quan hurriedly wiped it, and there were really a few drops of saliva that had flowed out of the corners of his mouth, after he wiped it clean, his face did not change, he looked at his wife affectionately, and said: "Daughter-in-law, you have to believe me, I only love you and Xiao Mi, you have been satisfied in this life, and the matter of taking a concubine is just like a floating cloud for me!" ”
Although he also has a greedy pervert heart, he really never thought about taking a concubine, in his heart, having Cai Yan and Zhen Mi is already a lifetime of luck.
There are three thousand harems, and he is just dreaming.
"The King. The concubines and Xiao Mi's minds are not so narrow-minded, and now you are not a small Donghou, you are the king of Wu, and you are burdened with the heavy responsibility of the Sun clan, and it is necessary to spread the branches. Now that the harem is cold, the heirs are not succeeded, and the ministers play and choose a concubine for you, which is also a matter of course! ”
Cai Yan has followed Sun Quan for ten years, watching him change from a young man with a hanging bun to a stable King Wu, his love is deep-rooted, every woman is willing to share her husband with other women, but she is also a person who understands the general situation.
Sun Quan had only two daughters-in-law and two sons. In the eyes of the ministers, having only two sons is not a guarantee for the heir.
After all, in this era, the probability of premature death is too high, and no one can guarantee that these two little princes can grow up safely.
"It turned out to be the secretary of the minister of the court, it's my uncle and uncle!"
Sun Quan's blue eyes flashed coldly, and the corners of his mouth outlined a curvature: "They are really full of food!" ”
Wu Jing and Sun Jing were beaten down by Sun Quan because Cheng Pu and the others were beaten down with a stick, which can be regarded as a lot of stopping, and now they are coming forward to make trouble for themselves again.
Choose a concubine. They figured it out, and instigated their mother to support it later. There really are theirs.
"Uncle and uncle are kind!"
Cai Yan said softly: "I have discussed this matter with Sister Xiaomi, and next month, we plan to hold a concubine selection for you across the country, select a woman with outstanding appearance and gentle personality, and settle in the harem!" ”
"National selection of concubines? Sister Cai. How can you mess around with them, isn't it a joke! ”
Sun Quan shook his head.
He held Cai Yan's jade hand and said, "Today's harem is very good, there is no need for this at all, this king will personally explain this matter to the queen mother." You and Xiao Mi don't care! ”
"King!"
When Cai Yan heard this, she raised her eyebrows and said with a straight face: "This matter is not only the meaning of my uncle and uncle, but also the will of the ministers of the DPRK and China, after all, you are the lord of a country, and family affairs are state affairs!" ”
"I said, don't worry about this matter, Lone won't choose a concubine, what do outsiders think, you can't control it, many things, Lone can give in, but this matter is not discussed!"
Sun Quan's face was slightly cold, and he said resolutely: "Although Lone is lustful, but Lone is only emotional and tempting, a person's heart is not very big, there is no place to pretend to you and Xiao Mi, and there is not a lot of love for a person, falling in love with you and Xiao Mi is enough for Gu to reminisce for a lifetime." ”
"King, my marriage to you is the happiness of my life!"
Cai Yan listened to Sun Quan's words, his heart throbbed a little, he didn't say anything, and his soft delicate body gently snuggled in Sun Quan's arms.
"I think so too, daughter-in-law, it's still early, why don't we do some exercise!" Sun Quan hugged this fiery delicate body, naturally he couldn't suppress it, and the yang energy was strong in the morning, so the wolf's heart exploded, his true nature was exposed, and he went up and down.
"Nasty, it's daytime! What a tyrant you are! Cai Yan felt someone's hot palm, her pretty face flushed, and she hurriedly wanted to sit up.
"Hehe, thank you daughter-in-law for your appreciation, as a tyrant, you have to learn to prostitute during the day!"
Sun Quan peeled the delicate body in his arms into a slippery little white rabbit, threw it directly on the bed, and then pounced on it like a ferocious wolf.
Hibiscus brocade tent, spring rolling......
――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
Sun Quan galloped on his wife's body, and after tossing her so much that she couldn't get out of bed, he was relieved and active, and his spirit was not good, so he ate breakfast, hummed a little song, and went to work.
Ordinary courtiers, and Mu Xiu's time, as the king of Wu State, he doesn't even have time for Mu Xiu, at least every day he has to go to the imperial study to see, the latest book presented.
At noon, the Imperial Study.
Sun Quan picked up one by one of the recitals and kept reviewing them, and his hands almost went soft.
The DPRK and China are now in the stage of changing the law, the system is chaotic, the cabinet and the six ministries are not completely on track, and many things are in chaos.
Naturally, he, the king, was also affected, and many trivial things were directly presented to him.
"King, this is the itinerary of the October Autumn Hunt!" Lu Su stood in front of the bookcase and handed over a copy of the book.
"Got your trip ready so soon?"
Sun Quan was a little surprised, took the book, looked at it, and frowned: "This is a bit exaggerated, it's just a trip to Northern Xinjiang, do you need to send tens of thousands of soldiers to protect you?" How bad it is to spend money and labor! ”
"King, now you are the king of Wu, your status is extremely noble, at home and abroad, how many people are staring at you, if you want your life, it is inevitable to send 30,000 Praetorian Guards to escort you!"
Lu Su said seriously: "Originally, I wanted to even send the northern army, but considering the stability of Jinling City now, the northern army wants to deter the southern army and the western army, so I subtracted the northern army's entourage, the king, you can say it personally, the itinerary and the accompanying soldiers are all arranged by the minister, you can't regret it!" ”
"Okay!" Sun Quan shrugged his shoulders and said, "Lone can't say anything about you, you have the final say in this matter!" ”
"The king's trip is of great significance to the northern Xinjiang after the war, so the minister also arranged for several servants from the ministry and the household department to accompany him to appease the people of northern Xinjiang!" Lu Su said.
"Well done!"
Sun Quan nodded with satisfaction, his biggest task this autumn hunt in Northern Xinjiang is to personally appease the Northern Xinjiang after the war, he read the itinerary of the book, and suddenly said: "But Zijing, this itinerary has to be changed, Lone is not on the boat at Jinling Ferry, before that, Lone is going to Dongzhi Shipyard, Lone will board the ship directly from Dongzhi Ferry, and go to Northern Xinjiang!" ”
Dongzhi shipyard is the largest shipbuilding workshop in Wu State, since Wu went to sea, the workshop of Taihu Lake moved to Dongzhi, united several small workshops, set up a large workshop, specializing in the study and establishment of warships traveling on the sea.
"Why is that, my lord?" Lu Su frowned slightly: "Going to Dongzhi will waste a lot of the king's time, which has a big conflict with our itinerary!" ”
"Then let's go early!" Sun Quan said lightly: "Dongzhi Shipyard has news that the first ironclad warship is about to go to sea, and I want to go and see it in person, which is very important for Wu to rule the sea in the future!" ”
"No!" Lu Su nodded.
"Anything else?" Sun Quan put down the book, stood up, looked at the sky, then stretched his stiff arm, and said, "It's nothing, I'm going back to eat!" ”
"One more thing!" Lu Su hurriedly said.
"Say!"
"The king, the change of law is carried out smoothly, the preliminary reform of the DPRK-China system has been completed, and the position of a certain family is a little embarrassing, is it time to change it?" Lu Su said.
He was originally a follower of Sun Quan, and now he still maintains the position of the old system, and he is a little out of place in the court of the new system.
"If you don't say this, you'll forget about it!"
When Sun Quan heard this, he suddenly realized, looked at Lu Suyan's expression, smiled a little embarrassedly, and said: "There is definitely no place for you in the sixth department, and the twenty-fourth department has wronged you again, go to the cabinet, the top ten cabinet ministers, you occupy a seat, it can be regarded as balancing the contradiction between Zhang Zhao and Zhou Yu!" ”
Zhang Zhao's old qualifications, Zhou Yu is a rising star, and now they are all competing for the control of the cabinet.
There is no personal grudge between them, but the political zhì has different ideas, and there must be conflicts.
I'm afraid they will fight too much!
Putting Lu Su into the cabinet can balance the shape of the cabinet, so that it kills two birds with one stone, at least so that the cabinet will not be completely out of Sun Quan's control.
After all, neither Zhang Zhao nor Zhou Yu is Sun Quan's henchmen.
"No!"
After Lu Su nodded and received the order, the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching slightly, his eyes looked at Sun Quan, and he obviously complained a little: "King, so-and-so is a bit like fighting fires, where there is a fire, you will put so-and-so there, and it is the kind that is roasted on the rack!" ”
"Huh!"
Sun Quan smiled a little embarrassedly and said, "Those who can work hard, this is Lonely's trust in you!" ”
"The minister must thank the king for his trust!" Lu Su rolled his eyes, a serious way.
"You're welcome!"
Sun Quan was cheeky, and then directly stretched out his hand to send the guest: "It's time to eat, don't leave food here, you can go!" (To be continued......)
