The summer breeze is cool, and the sky is high and cool.

Jinling City.

Eastern suburbs, Zhongshan.

In a dense forest with towering trees, there was a clever little rabbit walking quietly with rapid steps, his eyes were crimson, and he was constantly vigilantly watching the environment in all directions.

Shout!

Suddenly, a sharp arrow shot down into the sky, as fast as lightning, and hit it directly, but did not shoot it, it was a shot that wounded its calf and stuck its movement.

"Haha, hit!"

A hearty laugh sounded in the dense forest: "Alive, this time Lone finally completed the goal and brought back a lively little rabbit to Xiao Yi!" ”

"King, your archery skills have improved a lot, you are injured but not killed, few people can achieve this realm!"

In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen Praetorian Guard cavalry embraced Sun Quan and walked out of the dense forest, and the leader Lei Ding looked at the little rabbit that was stuck by sharp arrows and said with a smile.

"Lao Lei, do you really think that if you hide in the deep palace during this time, you will be wasted!"

Sun Quan sat on horseback, handed the bow and arrows to the guards beside him, and then triumphantly took the live rabbit from the hands of a Praetorian Guard, and said, "Lone is still a sharpshooter who wears through Yang in a hundred steps!" ”

"King, although there are no outsiders here, if you are modest, you will not be so uncomfortable when you hear it, because you are not a little bit away from a hundred steps through the Yang Marksman!"

Lei Ding is a serious way.

"Get out!"

Sun Quan glanced at the commander of the Praetorian Guard: "Rigid guy, I don't know how to flatter at this time. ”

As a military general, or a senior military general in the Qi Cultivation Realm, he could feel that the aura emanating from Lei Ding's body had changed dramatically during this time, as if he had stepped into another realm overnight.

However, Lei Ding did not report to him in detail, and he didn't bother to ask. There is absolutely no trace of impurity in his trust in Lei Ding.

Lei Ding, who was born on death row back then, is now the commander of the palace Praetorian Guard, he has a persistent loyalty to himself, and he is a man who can die directly for himself.

"King, you're walking so fast!" At this time, a Confucian young man was riding a horse. Soaring: "A certain person can't catch up with you!" ”

"Zijing, your body is so weak, you are so panting when you ride a horse, this is not good, a person's biggest capital is his own body, you are still young, the road in the future is long, more exercise!"

Sun Quan didn't inform anyone about this hunt, and he led Lu Su to travel.

"Huh!"

Lu Su smiled. nodded: "The king's lesson is reasonable, and you must pay attention to it in the future!" ”

"King, if it's not early today, there will be an hour at most, and the sun will go down, or let's go back to the palace!" Lei Ding looked at the Quartet vigilantly and said in a low voice.

"No hurry!"

Sun Quan shook his head and said, "Lonely has been nesting in the palace for this time. The body is almost not rusty, now that it has come out. Just stretch your bones, this is Jinling City, no one dares to blatantly attack Lonely, you don't have to be too nervous! ”

The royal hunting ground established on Zhongshan Mountain is actually for people who have been in Jinling City for a long time to stay still when they have time. Stretch your bones well.

Sun Quan was very oppressed by the reform of the law during this time, and when the military reform in Jingzhou came, there were more people who opposed the change, and even with his current prestige, he felt a cold pressure.

So he chose to walk out of the palace today. Relax and unwind.

"Your Majesty, you are a body of gold, it is better to be careful!"

Lei Ding said very dutifully.

Even Jinling City may not be safe, after all, there are still many descendants of soldiers and horses in Taihu Lake who remain in Jinling City.

"Go around again, I won't go back to the palace today, I'll go to Jinling Academy in the evening, and I'll go back to the palace tomorrow!" Sun Quan handed over the little rabbit to a personal guard, took the bow and arrows, and disappeared directly into a dense forest.

"Hurry up!"

Lei Ding saw it and hurriedly followed behind him.

"It seems that the change has really encountered a lot of obstacles, and it has actually oppressed him like this!" Lu Su looked at Sun Quan's back, sighed with some emotion, and hurriedly chased after him.

――――――――――――――――――――――

As the night draws down, so does the day-long hunt.

The mountain behind Jinling Academy,

Under the strict guard of hundreds of well-equipped Praetorian Guards, in a small forest, Sun Quan personally set up a bonfire and barbecued a fat antelope.

Cumin barbecue, in this era, is the first delicacy.

"Master Zheng, I baked it myself, you can taste it!" Sun Quan used a dagger to cut off a piece of golden barbecue meat, handed it to Zheng Xuan, and said with a smile: "The unique cumin lamb chops in the world are fragrant!" ”

"It tastes good!"

Zheng Xuan took the barbecue, tasted it, it was not bad, and nodded subconsciously.

However, when he looked at Sun Quan, a dignified king, like a cook, he sighed slightly: "You Sun Zhongmou, the lord of the dignified Wu country, the king of Wu, is really not doing his job!" ”

"Master Zheng, this is not called not doing your job, occasionally relax and relax, and your mood will be much better!"

Sun Quan said with a smile, cut off another piece of calf meat, forked it with a fork, handed it to Lu Su beside him, and said, "Zijing, you also taste it, how is Lone's craftsmanship?" ”

"The king is a good cook!" Lu Su tasted it and praised: "This craftsmanship is not comparable to few people!" ”

"Lone thinks so too!"

Sun Quan blushed his face, and tasted it himself, the oil was moist, the entrance was soft, and the taste of cumin was unique in this world.

"Zhongmou, I heard that you have been making a lot of moves lately?" Zheng Xuan put down the barbecue in his hand, took a sip of sake, watched Sun Quan roast with great interest, and said suddenly.

Sun Quan is famous in Zhongshan Academy, he is Sun Quan's teacher, and it is natural to call Sun Quan by his first name.

"Master Zheng, I almost didn't force those old guys to jump into the Qinhuai River during this time, and now that I finally relax my mood, can't you say something good?" When Sun Quan heard this, he was a little disappointed.

"Old man, this is worried about you!"

Zheng Xuan said lightly: "Although the old man has not stepped out of Zhongshan for half a step during this time. But it doesn't mean that the old man doesn't know about the court! ”

With Zheng Xuan's current status in the hearts of scholars, coupled with the fact that he has a wide range of friends, the friends he has made are either world-famous Confucians, or great sages in the court, and the court of Wu Guo naturally has not much to hide from him.

Now the Great Wu Reform Law has spread wildly throughout the Wu Kingdom. Naturally, he wouldn't be unaware.

"Master Zheng also thinks that Lone shouldn't change the law at this time, right?"

Sun Quan squinted his eyes slightly and asked in a low voice.

Zheng Xuan is also a member of the older generation, and he doesn't think he's going to change the law very much.

"Zhongmou, the old man has not been involved in the court in his life, whether Da Wu will change the law or not, when will the law be changed, these things, the old man really can't give you advice!"

Zheng Xuan smiled indifferently. said casually: "But the old man has lived for many years, and he has a little life experience, so he can give you a mention, just one, if you want to succeed, you don't need to press step by step, during this time, you have done too much." Maybe when the time comes, take a step back. You can have unexpected gains! ”

"Take a step back?"

When Sun Quan heard this, his eyes flashed with a bright light.

Maybe these old guys are right, during this time, he just pulled the strings of the change too tightly, step by step, and naturally felt perfect. But because of this, more and more people are opposing.

There are some things that I can't rush yet.

"Zhongmou, the old man is old, but he can't stay up at night. I'm tired today, so I won't accompany you! Zheng Xuan wiped his mouth, stood up, looked at Sun Quan, and said with a smile.

"Lei Ding, quickly let someone escort Master Zheng back to the front yard!"

Sun Quan hurriedly stood up and said.

"No!" Zheng Xuan shook his head and walked out by himself, saying as he walked: "The old man here is more familiar than you, the old man can go back by himself!" ”

Watching Zheng Xuan's back disappear into the night, Sun Quan seemed to feel more and more humped, now Jinling Academy is on the right track, he is getting older and older, I'm afraid he is a little powerless.

"Zijing, after returning to the city, you can arrange for someone to properly review the academy and see if there is anyone who can take over Master Zheng's position, Master Zheng is old after all."

Sun Quan sat down along a big blue stone and reminded: "I don't want him to work so hard!" ”

"Understand!"

Hearing this, Lu Su nodded.

"Zijing, what do you think of changing the law?" Before the bonfire, the firelight reflected the faces of the two, Sun Quan looked at Lu Su and asked suddenly.

"The king must have something to rely on when he does things!"

Lu Su pondered for a while, considered his vocabulary, and said half-loudly: "Although many people in the court oppose it, but with the law of the current Wu court, there are indeed many drawbacks, and it is feasible to change the law, but it is only at this juncture ......"

"I'm in a hurry, isn't it?"

Sun Quan smiled and added.

"Weichen just thinks that in two years, the law will be changed, maybe it will be much better than now!" Lu Su said calmly.

"You can see the big picture, Lone is very relieved!"

Sun Quan's amber eyes flickered, and while eating the roast antelope, he said to Lu Su: "But you still don't understand the timing needed to change the law, breaking the old system, and can't be carried out in a calm situation, because stabilizing the situation will make people feel that it will be better to maintain the status quo, that will only make the resistance more intense, only by taking advantage of the chaos is not completely stable, and taking advantage of the fire is the best choice!" ”

"The king's idea is very good, but the risk is too great, in case it ......" Lu Su heard this, and some recognized Sun Quan's persuasion, but he was still a little worried, and his brows couldn't help frowning.

"Lone knows the worry in your heart, but even if Lone fails, isn't there still you!"

Sun Quan looked at him pointedly.

"What does the king mean by that?" Lu Su was taken aback.

"Lone Zhou Gongjin, Gu Yuan sighs as the pioneer of law change, among the six books, there is no place for you Lu Zijing, as the elder of Donghou Mansion and Lone's confidant minister, are you very unwilling?" Sun Quan's eyes narrowed slightly, and he asked rhetorically.

Speaking of which, Lu Su is his real die-hard loyalist, but he proposed the change, but used Zhou Yu and Gu Yong to lead the change, instead of his own henchman Lu Su.

This is a bit puzzling for many people.

"Weichen is not unwilling, but he is a little puzzled in his heart!" Lu Su said calmly.

"Lonely don't need you, it's not that you don't believe in you, just a good idea, lonely in the court, the most detailed person, or you, lonely is just leaving a way back for himself!" Sun Quan said.

Once the reform fails, Zhou Yu, Gu Yong and others will be hidden, and even exiled as scapegoats for the failure of the reform, and when the time comes, Lu Su will be the pillar supporting the court.

"Doesn't the king have confidence in changing the law?" Lu Su suddenly understood, and there was some horror in his heart, he rarely saw Sun Quan do things that he was not sure of.

"Alas!"

Sun Quan sighed, and said with some self-deprecation: "Ancient and modern, changing the law is to reform the old order and establish a new order, any change is a risk, even a generation of saints does not have absolute confidence that they can succeed in changing the law, and Lone is not a god, so Lone himself cannot guarantee that the change will be successful, if it fails, someone needs to clean up the mess."

Sitting alone in the position of the king of Wu State, you have to be responsible for the tens of millions of people in Wu State, changing the law is the meaning of Lonely, it is naturally good, but it is not successful, Lone does not want to affect the livelihood of Wu Guomin, and you are Lone's most firm backing! ”

Accepting the new order will take a process, and Sun Quan thinks that the system he proposes is the best, and when he can't guarantee it, his reform will be successful.

Therefore, he is prepared with both hands, once the change fails, it is best to have a Lu Su stand up to clean up the mess.

"Please rest assured, the king, the ministers should do their best to protect the country of Wu for the king!"

Lu Su felt a little moved in his heart, sure enough, he was the one Sun Quan trusted, he quickly stood up, his expression was firm, and he said very hard. (To be continued......)
