Chapter 1009: Sun Quan's Temptation
In December of the eighth year of the Warring States Period, winter has come, and above the sky of Jinling City, pieces of light snow are flying down, and the white snowflakes are wrapped in layers of silver for this magnificent and magnificent capital of Wu.
"Father, hug, hug!"
A little princess staggered towards Sun Quan in the snow of the palace garden.
"Okay, father, hug!"
Sun Quan strode up, raised his hands, threw the little princess of Yududu into the sky, and said with a smile: "Is my little princess Chaoyang happy today?" ”
It is not easy for him to end the flood, so he naturally gave himself a few days of vacation, taking advantage of the end of the year, to accompany his wife and children, you know, in fact, his biggest wish is to warm the kang head of his wife and children.
"Happy!"
Xiao Chaoyang spun in the sky, his two little legs jumped, his hands touched his father's hair, and a pair of moon-like little eyes smiled brightly.
"No wonder my husband has always wanted a daughter, this girl has always been very clingy to him since she was born, even if he has been on the expedition for a long time and is a little strange when he comes back, he is still clinging to him!"
Zhen Mi sat quietly in the gazebo, watching the father and daughter in the garden laughing, with a trace of satisfaction on her pretty face.
"It's not a day or two that the husband likes a daughter by his side, this time you are pregnant again, and then give him a baby princess, then the husband is afraid to be happy!"
Cai Yan put the jade blanket in his hand on Zhen Mi's knees, and then poured hot tea, in this snowy day, a few families can get together so comfortably, which is a bit rare for their family.
Under someone's day and night work, Zhen Mi's belly was pregnant again, which can be regarded as the gloom of the Jiangdong disaster. The royal family is a more exciting happy event, after all, the royal family is weak.
"I don't, I want a prince, this girl will be affectionate to her father, it's better to stick to me safely!"
When Zhen Mi heard this, there was a touch of blush under her pretty face. She hugged Cai Yan's jade hand: "This time it should be your sister's turn, you will give birth to a baby princess for your husband!" ”
"My husband pities me, so he won't let me get pregnant again!"
Cai Yan was a little lonely and said quietly.
The first time she was pregnant, Cai Yan took the risk of giving birth to an ingot, almost had a difficult birth, one corpse and two lives, but it was the baby that Zhang Zhongjing took out the knife to save his life.
That time almost didn't scare Sun Quan to death.
So since then, Sun Quan has never let Cai Yan get pregnant again. He was afraid, in this era of backward medical skills, even if he has vigorously supported medicine, it is not possible to change the backwardness of medical skills overnight, and he really can't pin his life on medicine.
"Queen Mother!"
"Queen Mother!"
At this time, Sun Quan's two precious sons didn't know where to run out, covered with snowflakes, and their faces were red.
"Yuanbao, shouldn't you be in a class at Gongxue today? You're skipping class from the palace school again! Cai Yan turned his head. With a straight face, beautiful eyes full of anger. looked at the two brothers: "You are still skipping class with your younger brother, it is really unseemly, be careful that your father gives you a good look, give me a good stand!" ”
Yuanbao and Ping'an are not even very afraid of their father, but they are a little afraid of Cai Yan, so they quickly stood up solemnly.
"Look at you two. It's covered in snow! ”
Zhen Mi is a gentle woman, she can't be as strict as Cai Yan, she is deep in her own Qianqianyu and patted the snowflakes on her body with the two of them.
"Sister, don't spoil them, look at them now. Day by day, several teachers of Miyagaku have complained to me many times! ”
Cai Yan looked at the two little ones, and his voice was a little cold.
"Sister, they're still young after all!" Zhen Mi said with a smile.
"Sister, they are not small, our husband went to the battlefield with the emperor at the age of ten, and fought the world, they are now I don't ask them to go to the battlefield, I only hope that they will study hard and apply what they have learned in the future, as the prince of Great Wu, they will shoulder the great Wu Jiangshan Sheji in the future, how can they be so stubborn!"
Cai Yan said with a straight face.
"Queen Mother, I will go to the martial arts hall next year to study, and strive to go to the battlefield at the age of eight, and I will definitely surpass my father!" Yuan Bao said with a grin.
"Big brother, I'll support you!"
Xiao Ping'an belongs to that kind of afterthought.
"You two little bunnies don't have a small tone!"
Sun Quan held the little princess Chaoyang on his shoulder, walked in from outside the courtyard, looked at his two self-conscious little things, and was a little funny: "Just you, do you still want to surpass my father and me?" It's not my father, I think you're young, it's that you really don't think you can do it! ”
"Father, as the so-called back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, the front waves will die forever on the beach!" Yuan Bao stood up, stretched out his fingers, and had the momentum of being the best in the world: "Don't let me cover this front wave!" ”
"Why am I so familiar with this?"
When Sun Quan heard this, he was stunned.
"Husband, this is a comment you wrote on the autobiography of the former emperor Wulie when you were commenting on the palace a few months ago, which was used to satirize the former emperor, and was reprimanded by the queen mother, you forgot!" Zhen Mi said with a smile and a reminder.
"Damn!"
Sun Quan was suddenly angry, stretched out his hand and pinched the little Yuanbao's little face fiercely: "Yuanbao, you have a long ability, and you actually taught your father a lesson with the words of the father!" ”
"Father, the upper beam is not right and the lower beam is crooked, and the imperial grandmother said that this is heredity!"
Xiao Ping'an added coldly.
"Heredity?"
Sun Quan was angry and glared at the two little guys.
The two little guys are very shrewd, and when they saw their father's embarrassed and angry momentum, they hurriedly ran away, and there was no shadow as soon as they slipped away.
"Chaoyang, you can't learn from your two unreliable brothers in the future!"
Sun Quan hugged the little princess on his shoulder and said helplessly.
"Giggle!!
Xiao Chaoyang tugged at Sun Quan's hair and giggled.
"Husband, ingots and peace are just to spoil you, how can there be a little bit of royal strictness, this is to let people outside see, isn't it a joke for our royal family!"
Cai Yan walked up, patted the snowflakes on Sun Quan's body, and said coquettishly.
"Daughter-in-law. They are still children, children should be raised like this, don't teach them any rules and knowledge all day long, they are still young now, they should have a good childhood. Let them enter the palace school, that is to deal with the Zongren Mansion, you don't put too much responsibility on their shoulders, this is not good for the future of the child! ”
Sun Quan replied hehehe.
"Husband, you can be careful that the Zongren Mansion is looking for you to settle accounts!" Zhen Mi reminded and said: "This is the seventh time in the past few months that you have connived at them to skip school!" ”
"That's a nuisance!"
Sun Quan sighed, put down the little girl on his shoulder, then picked up a cup of hot tea and took a sip: "Uncle has been staring at the two of them!" ”
"Your Majesty, Lord Sun Jing, the Zongzheng of the Zongren Mansion, asks to see you!" Cao Yang walked in from the outside of the palace. Whispered reports.
"Sure enough, it's Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here!"
Sun Quan almost engraved the word unhappy on his head, this Sun Jing is still too old-fashioned, his eyes fell on the two little little dots of Yuanbao and Ping'an all day long, this is just a little windy in the morning.
"Husband, uncle is an elder after all, you can't avoid it!" Cai Yan said softly.
"You're right, I'm going to meet him!"
Sun Quan was helpless. handed Xiao Chaoyang to Cai Yan, and then shook the snowflakes on his body. before walking out of the palace.
In the imperial study, Sun Jing sat upright in his position, with a stinky face, as if someone owed him millions.
"Uncle, you've been here for a long time?"
Sun Quan walked in with a smile on his face.
"Weichen see Your Majesty!" Sun Jing stood up and saluted respectfully.
"Uncle. There's no one else here, so you don't need to be polite! Sun Quan hurriedly helped him.
"Your Majesty, it's really helpless to come to disturb Your Majesty's day of rest today!" Sun Jing got straight to the point: "I'm here to discuss with Your Majesty about the education of the two princes, and the palace school has already informed our Zongren Mansion more than once!" ”
"Huh. Uncle, it's my fault, it's my godson who has no way! ”
A smile squeezed out of Sun Quan's handsome face, and he said with a smile: "Those two little cubs have a bit of a wild personality, so they can't sit steadily, I also know this aspect, in fact, they are still young ...... after all."
"Your Majesty, the two princes will be the Jiangshan Sheji who will shoulder my Great Wu in the future, and this matter must not be a child's play!" Sun Jing interrupted Sun Quan's words in one breath, and her voice was a little cold.
"Okay, I don't go around in circles with you, in fact, what you mean by coming today, I actually understand!"
Sun Quan thought about it, and no longer pretended to be confused, his eyes narrowed slightly, looked at Sun Jing, and said in a deep voice: "You are reminding me that the three-year contract between me and you is about to expire, and you are going to choose the crown prince, right?" ”
"Your Majesty, this was a promise made by your Chrysostom Yuyan!"
Sun Jing nodded: "The position of the prince is related to the future of the country, and you can't be sloppy, you haven't been able to select the prince, this time it makes the people of the world slowly uneasy!" ”
"Uncle, I have a question for you, who did you say that this Great Wu country was defeated?"
Sun Quan asked suddenly.
"Naturally, it's the first emperor!" Sun Jing thought about it and replied naturally.
Sun Jian is the founding monarch, this is an undoubted thing, even if Sun Quan is later crowned emperor, it will not change this fact.
"Then why did this throne fall into my hands in the end, and not the eldest son Sun Ce?" Sun Quan asked again.
"Your Majesty, only those who are virtuous can inherit the world, and those who are capable can sit in the world, and the first emperor is located in His Majesty, because His Majesty's virtue and ability are enough to carry the rivers and mountains of Great Wu!" Sun Jing said with a glance.
"So can you be sure that my son Sun Zhongmou is a person who has both ability and political integrity and can carry the Great Wu River?"
Sun Quan began to be embarrassed and asked in a cold voice.
He didn't want his son to be the heir at all, first, his son was still young, and this son was not a popular fire, the most difficult, the loneliest, the most boring, and the most uncomfortable in the world was estimated to be sitting on the throne.
"Your Majesty, this is the country of our Sun family, and it is a matter of course that it is passed on to the sons of the Sun family!"
Sun Jing was silent for half a minute before she whispered.
"That's right, this country is the country of our Sun family!"
Sun Quan stood up, looked down at Sun Jing, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised a smile with deep meaning: "But the Sun family is not my Sun Zhongmou's lineage, but the two veins of Sun Qiang and your Sun Jing are under the first emperor, Sun Ce, Sun Yi, Sun Kuang, Sun Lang, are all the heirs of the first emperor, why can't their sons become heirs?" ”
"Your Majesty, what you say, Weichen doesn't understand!"
Sun Jing's eyes twitched.
"You get it!"
Sun Quan's eyes were deep, staring at Sun Jing's expression, and said lightly: "You just don't dare to think about it!" ”
"Your Majesty, this is the country you won from the southern and northern wars, the battle of Xuanwu back then, how difficult it was, do you still plan to make other Sun disciples the crown prince?"
Sun Jing gritted her teeth and asked in a somewhat trembling voice.
"Why not?" Sun Quan asked rhetorically.
"Weichen doesn't understand!" Blood is thicker than water, and the father should pass on the best things to his son, and Sun Jing has someone who can give up this powerful first emperor from his son's hands.
"The world is not the world of one person, it is the world of all the people in the world, the prince is the heir of the world, who is the prince, I have no right to establish!"
Sun Quan stood next to the window, looking at the snow in the sky: "So I have decided, as long as the children of the Sun family are registered in the Zongren Mansion, whoever has the ability will be the prince, whoever has the ability, who will be my heir, whoever can make all the people in the world return to their hearts, who will be the heir of Dawu, Jiangshan Sheji, hundreds of people, the position of one person is related to the blessing of all the people, and those who can live in it!" ”
"Your Majesty, this is against etiquette and ancestral teachings!"
Sun Jing was a little flustered in her heart, and hurriedly said.
"But this is good for the future of Great Wu!" Sun Quan said.
In this era, he can't do democratic things, but what he can do is to implement a democracy within the Sun family.
I can't choose a king from the whole country, but I can choose the most outstanding heir within the confines of the Sun family, not just my own family.
That's the only thing he can do.
Sun Quan turned his head, looked at Sun Jing, and his voice was full of temptation: "Uncle, in fact, the power of the Zongren Mansion is not big, so the uncle does not speak loudly in the court, but if the Zongren Mansion has the right to nominate the crown prince, then the uncle's rights in the future will not be the same, and the most important thing is that this Sun family disciple also includes the descendants of the uncle, if there is fate in the future, the uncle can also sit on this throne in the future, isn't the uncle impressed?" ”
Click!
Sun Jing was excited, her fists clenched suddenly, and her bones clicked loudly.
Sun Quan threw out this temptation, and he had to be moved.
"What does Your Majesty want Weichen to do?"
Sun Jing's breathing was a little heavy.
"The vacancy of the crown prince's position has always been a big stone in the hearts of the courtiers of Eastern Wu, what you need to do is to stabilize them!"
Sun Quan knew that Sun Jing would be on his side, after all, it was this temptation that could not be refused: "Then it is the matter of the Zongren Mansion, assessment, evaluation, and measurement of every child of the royal family over the age of sixteen, and when the time is ripe, I will personally propose that the Zongren Mansion nominate the Cabinet and the Military Aircraft Department to form an East Palace Selection Committee to establish the choice of the prince according to the nomination of the Zongren Mansion!" ”
This is the prince he chooses in his heart.
In this era, it is a bit absurd, but it is very effective, at least a better king can be selected to inherit the throne, and he does not want a puppet emperor holding a milk bottle in the future of Eastern Wu. (To be continued.) )
