In the early morning, a round of scorching sun crosses the horizon and rises, and the warm and bright light dispels the morning fog of spring, reflecting the magnificent atmosphere of Jinling City vividly.

Yi Ji entered the palace early in the morning, and as a Praetorian Guard soldier walked on the bluestone of the Forbidden City, he did not forget to tidy up the blue squire robe on his body during the walk.

At first, he was captured by Jinyi guards in Chengdu and sent back to Jinling City.

In Jinyiwei Prison, he squatted for a year, dedicated to martyrdom for the Chu State, but when the Chu State was gone, the impression of the Chu State became weaker and weaker, and he was confused.

From his heart to his fighting spirit again, it was only a few months, and he seemed to have experienced a reincarnation of life.

The feeling of being re-emerged this time made him a little nervous.

"Lord Squire, Your Majesty is waiting inside, please!" Walking to the door of the imperial study, the soldier who led the way of the Praetorian Guard turned around and said respectfully to the Yi nationality.

"Thank you!"

Yi Ji raised his head, looked at the horizontal plaque in the imperial study, took a deep breath, and then straightened his chest and strode in like a meteor.

After he walked in, he didn't have time to look at this magnificent imperial study, and knelt down directly to Sun Quan, who was sitting on the bookcase to review the recital, and saluted respectfully: "The waiter of the Ministry of Rites will meet Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty, long live!" ”

He was requisitioned by Sun Quan and was exceptionally crowned as the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites.

In the Ministry of Rites, in addition to Shang Shu Huaxin and Zuo Shilang Hongzhi, he is considered a third person, and even Zuo Servant Sun Kuang has to succumb to him.

"No need to be polite, get up!"

When Sun Quan heard this, he didn't raise his head, still silent in the book in his hand, and just shouted lightly.

"No!"

Yi stood up and looked up slightly. glanced at Sun Quan, Sun Quan ignored him, and he didn't dare to make a sound, just stood quietly next to him, waiting for the summons.

Although he is arrogant, he is very clear between the monarch and the minister. Since you have entered Dawu, you must abide by the rules of Dawu.

After half a ring, Sun Quan inadvertently glanced at Yi Yuan, and the corners of his mouth outlined a satisfied arc, the unruly Yi Boji had such an attitude, which was enough to show that he really wanted to return to Dawu.

"Ibe, I remember, the first time you saw me, you were in chains. But he is iron-clad, and he is dedicated to martyrdom for Liu Biao, but he can scold a dog with blood! ”

After about a quarter of an hour, Sun Quan put down the book in his hand, his eyes narrowed slightly, and there was a playful smile on the corner of his mouth: "I really want to know, what made you accept Da Wu and accept me as the lord?" ”

"There are many reasons for this. The most important one, Dawu has unified the world. The ability to create a brilliant and prosperous world! ”

Yi Yuan thought for a while, and said calmly: "The former Chu State has long since disappeared, and it is useless to think about it again, even if it is Jingzhou now, there is a geometric way to remember the Chu State."

I'm not afraid of death, but I don't want to die doing nothing. Joining Dawu is my only way, I want to get ahead, I want to be famous in history, Dawu can give me a stage! ”

"Huh!" Sun Quan heard this. I couldn't help laughing: "That's very good, you finally didn't fool me!" ”

Loyal to the monarch and patriotic, it is too far to say.

The Yi nationality who has just surrendered, these words can make Sun Quan trust him in his heart, I am not afraid that you are not ambitious, I am afraid that you have no desires and no desires.

"Weichen doesn't dare!" Yi Yuan hurriedly bowed: "And Your Majesty's intelligence, Weichen can't fool Your Majesty!" ”

"Being able to squat in Jinyiwei Prison for a whole year, and finally come out alive, few people can do it, and now you not only come out, but also let me crown you as the waiter of the Ministry of Rites!"

Sun Quan's eyes narrowed slightly: "In the Great Wu Dynasty, you are the first one!" ”

"Thunder, rain and dew, all for Jun'en!"

Yi Yuan said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty doesn't want to kill me, I can naturally live, if Your Majesty wants to kill me, I will already disappear in the prison of Jinyiwei!" ”

"It's good that you know, I love talent, talented people, can work for Dawu, anyone I can tolerate.!"

Sun Quan smiled slightly, and then beckoned to him: "Come here!" ”

"Your Majesty!"

Hearing this, Yi Ji hurriedly walked three steps, stood at the front of the imperial case, and looked at Sun Quan with some doubts.

"Look at this!"

"Crusade against the Confucian?" Yi said: "This is sent by our Ministry of Rites, is there a problem?" ”

"There's no problem with this, but I have something to do with this, and I need you to do it yourself, but I don't know if you have the guts?"

Sun Quan got into the main topic of this conversation and asked in a deep voice.

"Please make it clear to Your Majesty that Weichen is willing to do whatever it takes!" Yi's eyes lit up.

"I want you to represent Great Wu and send an envoy to Shu!"

Sun Quan looked at his expression with a dead gaze, and said word by word.

"Envoy to Shu?"

Hearing this, Yi Yuan's face changed slightly, but he quickly calmed down, he raised his head, looked at Sun Quan's amber crystal eyes, and asked, "When?" ”

"Three days later!"

Sun Quan was a little surprised by the calmness of Yi's origin, and with his cleverness, he should have thought of the danger of this mission: "Yiboji, aren't you afraid that I will let you die?"

At this time, when you were in prison, you were the dog I scolded with blood, if I hold a grudge and send you to death, it is reasonable. ”

"Hehe, Your Majesty is the king of Great Wu, pinching me to death is like pinching an ant to death, it needs to be so complicated for me to send to death?" Yi Ji said lightly: "Moreover, although I did speak wildly at the beginning, if Your Majesty didn't even have this bit of energy, I wouldn't have the power I have today!" ”

"You have faith in me!" Sun Quan's eyes softened a lot, and he smiled: "Then tell me, why did I let you go to Shu at this time instead of Great Wu?" ”

"Your Majesty's crusade against Shu has been announced to the world, but at this time, I am asked to represent Dawu as an envoy to Shu, there must be something important, and it is also related to the success or failure of the Western Expedition!"

Yi thought for a moment and replied.

"You're smart, you're not far from ten!"

Sun Quan stood up and sighed: "Great Wu is going to fight Hanzhong, but we don't have a suitable name to send troops to Hanzhong, so we declared war on Shu in advance." With the strategy of false Taoism, we entered Hanzhong, but we did not do a good job in the battle of Sichuan! ”

"Your Majesty's meaning, I hope that I will replace Da Wu to send an envoy to Shu, stabilize Shu, and strive for enough time to prepare. Right? ”

Yi Yuan immediately understood.

"That's right!"

Sun Quan nodded.

Although he also believed that Shu would not dare to go to war, in order to ensure that nothing went wrong, he still had to do some work and send someone to fight Liu Bei, which could somewhat ease the time.

He looked at Yi and said frankly: "But this matter is very dangerous, the crusade has been issued, that is to say, Shu and our Great Wu are already in a war." They tear their faces with us at any time, the messengers who enter Sichuan have no safety guarantee, and life and death depend on Liu Bei's mood! ”

"Your Majesty, I want to know, why me?"

Yi Yuan suddenly asked: "Great Wu is full of talents, the centripetal force is very strong, and there are many people who are willing to sacrifice for Great Wu, I am just a subordinate!" ”

"Although Da Wu is full of talents. But no one can have your mouth and your courage! ”

Sun Quan said in a deep voice: "This is a job of dancing on the tip of a knife. Even if you are a more talented and capable consultant in the Ministry of Rites, you can't do it, but you have this ability! ”

Yi is a very bold person, which is incomparable to Hongzhi.

In today's atmosphere, if you can't stabilize your mentality, and others can see a bottom line, then it is really dead.

"Your Majesty really has confidence in Weichen!"

Yi Yuan smiled slightly wryly. I don't know if it's moved or helpless in my heart, it's a good thing to be taken seriously, but the danger of this life is really not ordinarily high.

"In state affairs, I will not force anyone!"

Sun Quan smiled and said, "I chose you, and you are also qualified to choose whether to do it or not?" ”

"What if Weichen disobeys?" On a whim. Suddenly asked.

"It's not disobedience!"

Sun Quan shook his head: "Because I haven't officially given an order yet, if you don't want to, I will send someone else to do it, there is one thing you said right, the Great Wu Dynasty is full of talents, although you are the most suitable, but there are also people who can do this thing!" ”

"Your Majesty, although it is said that Weichen's ability to ask himself is indeed good, but I have checked the Ministry of Rites, and there are many talents in the Ministry of Rites, if Your Majesty really wants to find a fearless messenger, why do you need Weichen?"

Yi Yuan squinted slightly: "There should be other reasons for this, Your Majesty is willing to solve Weichen's doubts?" ”

"Hehe, your senses are quite acute!"

Sun Quan walked out of the main hall, sat in the position of Xiao's living room, poured himself a cup of hot tea, took a sip, and said, "I do have another purpose. ”

"Hua Xin's grade is not small, I am prepared to train a successor for the Ministry of Rites, if you can complete this task, you will have the ability to compete with Hongzi.

Hongzi's personality is a little soft, which is good in the Ministry of Rites, but if you are the master of the house, some do not live, I am more inclined to you, and you are more tough than him! ”

Sun Quan is very optimistic about the Yi nationality, and he will definitely be able to be called the pillar of the court in the future.

"The Book of Rites?" Yi's breath suddenly became a lot heavier, which can be regarded as an important decision-making minister in the court.

"Hehe, heartbeat?"

Sun Quan said something jokingly.

"Wechen threw himself into Dawu, and asked himself if he had a motivated heart, His Majesty drew such a big pie, and Wechen really couldn't control his mood!"

Yi said calmly.

"Then are you willing to act as an envoy in place of Da Wu?" Sun Quan squinted.

"Weichen is naturally willing!"

Yi Yuan crossed a trace of essence, and was full of fighting intent: "Although this matter is risky, but it is done, at least it can help Weichen gain a firm foothold in the court, and Weichen is sure that he can come back alive!" ”

"In that case, I have made a holy decree!"

Sun Quan's eyes moved, and said: "This time to envoy Shu, you have two tasks, first, you have to make Shu believe that Dawu sent a document to the west, just for Hanzhong, not to enter Sichuan now, second, you have to make Shu believe that we are indeed preparing for the battle of Sichuan, but our soldiers and horses must be mobilized at least in October, can we do it?" ”

"Wechen promises to complete the task!"

Hearing this, Yi Ji pondered carefully, and then nodded firmly. (To be continued......)
