With a "snap", a delicate prince's porcelain cup smashed on the ground, the turquoise tea splashed, and Mrs. Wang screamed in fright, jumping up like a frightened rabbit. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info she carried the skirt that was splashed with tea, and stomped her feet in distress and annoyance, and shouted: "King, what's wrong with you?" ”

"Get out-" Sun Quan's face turned pale, turned his head, pointed in the direction of the door, and shouted breathlessly: "You get out of here, get out, I don't want to see you again!" ”

Mrs. Wang pouted, glared at Sun Quan for a long time, still stubbornly refused to leave, Gu Li quietly walked over, stopped in front of her, stretched out her hand to signal, Mrs. Wang bit her lip and thought about it, stomped her foot hatefully, brushed her sleeves away, and when she went out, she closed the door with a loud "bang".

Sun Quan panted like a cow, slumped on the brocade couch, dense beads of sweat slid down the wrinkles on his face, wetting the brocade quilt under him, a pair of blue eyes looked at the blue-black curtain, and two tears slipped from the corners of his eyes.

"O Ali......," he sighed, and then stopped, tears flowing.

"King, have a good rest......" Gu Li wiped the corners of his eyes and said in a swallowed voice.

"Ah Li—" Sun Quan called Gu Li's name without saying a word, revealing endless desolation.

On the pedal in front of the couch, a piece of paper was crumpled into a ball, and the paper was slowly loosened, making a "gurgling" sound. Gu Li glanced at Sun Quan, quietly picked up the edict, and slowly smoothed it out, the edict had been soaked with sweat droplets from Sun Quan's fingers, and the ink was blurred and smeared, but the content could still be seen. Gu Li just glanced at it and understood why Sun Quan suddenly lost control of his emotions.

The Son of Heaven issued an edict asking the three kings of Wei, Shu and Wu to come to the court in March to participate in the ceremony of the sacrifice of the king of Yue. The Son of Heaven made it clear that the Han Dynasty has been established for more than 400 years, and has fought countless foreign wars, and the victories are not small, but this time, the four countries of Yuewei, Wushu and Shu jointly sent troops to defeat Sassanid Persia and expand their territory in Sasanar, which is thousands of miles away from the country, which is an unprecedented event in 400 years, and I hope that all kings must participate in this celebration.

Gu Li sighed secretly, I don't know who wrote the edict, isn't this a stab in Sun Quan's heart? When did Wu participate in this war? Yes, Lu Xun turned out to be the general of Wu State, and the more than 30,000 soldiers he led were also from Wu State, but the question is that from Lu Xun to these 30,000 soldiers, who else admits that he is from Wu State? These people were all snatched away by Sun Shao. If Sun Quan went to participate in this ceremony, looking at those soldiers who had returned from meritorious service, what would he think?

Wu Yue was originally a family, but now Yue is the most proud of the four countries, Wu has become the laughing stock of the world, because of the position of the prince, Sun Deng committed suicide, Sun Luban heard about it, he actually led the army back to Wu State, to clear the monarch's side, for Sun Deng to ask for an explanation, this daughter led the army to crusade against Lao Tzu, probably the first time in history, but was met by Sun Quan.

Although Sun Luban has insufficient troops, so far he has only screamed fiercely, and has not been able to really invade Wu State, but this matter has spread throughout the entire territory of the Han Dynasty, and even the people of the Japanese Kingdom know about it, Sun Quan is angry and annoyed, his physical condition has deteriorated sharply in the past year, and now he wants to go to Luoyang to embarrass people, what is the difference between that and killing him?

What made Sun Quan even more uneasy was that Mrs. Wang not only couldn't help Sun Quan share his worries, but felt that Sun Quan might be sick at any time, and was anxious to ask Sun Quan to make her son Sun He the crown prince, so as not to have too many dreams at night, which made Sun Quan so angry that he almost couldn't get up in one breath, and swallowed his breath directly.

As a close attendant who has followed Sun Quan for more than 30 years, Gu Li knows Sun Quan's temper well, this voice of "Ali" made him sad, he knew that Sun Quan regretted it, regret forced Sun Deng to death, if Sun Deng was still there, things would not have come to this point, even if there was any difficulty, Sun Deng could also understand his difficulties and help him deal with them properly, instead of causing trouble for him like Mrs. Wang. However, Sun Quan is a strong person, even in front of Gu Li, he refuses to say anything to admit his mistakes, so he can only call one after another.

"King, do you want to ask the Imperial Doctor to come?" Guli asked softly.

"No...... Use...... Finish. Sun Quan groaned weakly, and slowly shook his head: "I'll just rest for a while." ”

Gu Li responded, helped Sun Quan tuck the quilt, exited the room lightly, and brought the door, only then did he raise his sleeve and wipe the corners of his eyes. When he looked up, he saw Queen Xu and Mrs. Bu standing at the other end of the corridor looking at him. After a moment's thought, he hurriedly walked over and bowed.

"Is the king better?" Queen Xu frowned slightly, lowered her voice and asked.

"Not good." Gu Li shook his head sadly: "I just had another fire, my mood is very unstable, and I am resting now." ”

"Alas, it's all my making." Mrs. Bu sighed, and the corners of her eyes moistened.

"What does this have to do with you?" Queen Xu pulled her disapprerovingly: "Blame it, and blame those women who don't know the height of the sky." ”

Gu Li saw that Queen Xu was about to start venting her dissatisfaction with Mrs. Wang again, and her voice was getting louder and louder, for fear of being heard by Sun Quan, so she hurriedly coughed and hesitated: "The Yue Wang Palace has finished work, and he may have to sacrifice prisoners in Luoyang in March." ”

Queen Xu and Mrs. Bu were stunned, glanced at each other, and then understood. Sun Shao is back, this matter can not be delayed any longer, with Sun Shao's surname and his friendship with Sun Deng, he is very likely to expand the matter. The reason why Sun Luban shouted fiercely, but never sent troops to invade the border of Wu State, on the one hand, was because the general Bu Qi, who led the troops to defend her, was her uncle, and she was embarrassed by Bu Qi, and on the other hand, it was also because she was short of troops. Without Sun Shao's order, what she brought over was only her own personal guard battalion, and the symbolic meaning was far greater than the actual military significance. But if Sun Shao wants to participate in this matter, it will not be just shouting.

Thinking of the seriousness of the situation, Queen Xu and Mrs. Bu couldn't help but gasp.

When it comes to making trouble with Mrs. Wang, they still have some ideas, and when it comes to these national affairs, they are completely blind. The two were stunned for a long time, and they didn't dare to disturb Sun Quan again, so they had to ask Gu Li to say hello and hurriedly go back to their residence.

Gu Li breathed a sigh of relief, returned to the front of the hall, and waited quietly. I don't know how long it took, but Sun Quan's weak voice came from the hall: "Ali! ”

Gu Li entered in response to the call, hurried all the way to Sun Quan's bed, and saw that Sun Quan was sweating, so he hurriedly took a towel from the side to wipe his sweat. Sun Quan's eyes looked at him directly, and he gasped and said, "Spread the edict, Xuan Zhuge Jin is here to see." ”

"Whoa." Gu Li hurriedly turned around and walked out.

In the Prime Minister's Mansion, Zhuge Jin's father and son sat facing each other, playing chess while idle. There are two books next to it, Zhuge Jin is next to the "Funan Journal", Zhuge Ke is next to the latest issue of the "New Classic of Mountains and Seas", the cover is painted with a deer-like animal with a long neck, and two words are written next to it: Qilin, and there is a big "? ”。

Zhuge Jin held a chess piece in his hand, his brows were furrowed, and he didn't find a suitable landing point after thinking about it for a long time. After Zhuge Kefu was idle at home, Sun Quan recruited him many times, but he was dismissed on the grounds of poor health. In the past two years, he has been hiding at home, except for reading books and playing chess, and his chess skills have improved greatly, and Zhuge Jin is no longer his opponent.

"How can this be solved?" Zhuge Jin glanced at Zhuge Ke with some annoyance. Zhuge Ke smiled slightly and shook his head: "There is no solution, it is lost." ”

"Duh!" Zhuge Jin threw down the chess piece, picked up the teacup and took a sip, licked a piece of tea on the side of his lips with the tip of his tongue, and suddenly said, "Is there really no solution?" ”

Zhuge Ke was stunned for a moment, thought for a while, and then smiled: "How can there be so many tricks in the world to resurrect from the dead, there is no solution." ”

Zhuge Jin sighed, put down the teacup a little depressed, and shook his head with a wry smile: "That's a pity, it seems that it is really destiny, my prime minister is really incomparable with your uncle's prime minister." ”

"Not necessarily." Zhuge Ke smiled mysteriously and reached out to pick up the chess pieces. Zhuge Jin squinted his eyes and glanced at him, thoughtfully, but seemed to have some questions, and after thinking for a while, he said, "You mean there is still a turnaround?" ”

"At least for us, there's a turnaround." Zhuge Ke picked up the chess pieces and said casually: "Look at it, as long as His Royal Highness King Yue returns to China, the king will send someone to invite you." ”

"Sun Shao returned to China?" Zhuge Jin was very disappointed: "He is thousands of miles away, and he doesn't know when this battle will be fought, and he doesn't know what the result will be, which day will be the end." ”

"It won't be long." Zhuge Ke raised his eyelids and looked at Zhuge Jin, who looked depressed, and said, "You get along too little with King Yue, and you don't know him well enough. From what I know about him, since he has set out for Ctesiphon, he must be able to conquer Ctesiphon in the shortest possible time, otherwise, he will not go. ”

Zhuge Jin pursed his lips and was just about to speak, when the second son Zhuge Rong walked in quickly and shouted loudly: "Father, brother, the king's messenger is here, summoning you into the palace." ”

Zhuge Jin's heart was overjoyed, and then he lowered his face and shouted: "Shaft, what kind of system is it that shouts and screams." ”

Zhuge Rong was startled, and quickly put away his smile, arched his hands, and stood respectfully in front of his father and brother.

Langguan Zhu Yi walked in quickly, and when he saw Zhuge Jin's father and son, he hurriedly saluted and explained his intention. Zhuge Jin twisted his beard and answered: "Wait for me to change my clothes, and then I will go to ......"

Before Zhuge Jin finished speaking, Zhuge Ke suddenly interjected: "Ji Wen, is your father back?" ”

Zhu Yi is the son of Zhu Huan, famous for his talent, and a smart person, he was a little surprised to see Zhuge Ke interrupt Zhuge Jin's words regardless of etiquette, but he also knew Zhuge Ke's talent and reputation, so he didn't dare to be careless, and hurriedly smiled: "My father fought in Wucheng with the general, and he hasn't come back yet." ”

"Oh." Zhuge Ke replied casually and never spoke again. Zhu Yi didn't know what was going on, neither advance nor retreat, so he had to set his eyes on Zhuge Jin. Zhuge Jin knew that Zhuge Ke had something to say, so he waved his hand: "You have to wait for a while, and I will come later." ”

Zhu Yi responded and retreated. Zhuge Jin frowned and said to Zhuge Ke: "What, what are you worried about?" ”

"Father, I don't know what the king summoned you to do, but if you don't know the exact news of King Yue, you'd better not take this matter into account." Zhuge Ke said solemnly: "Princess Dahu is not a reasonable person, the general is her uncle, she can still give you face to some extent, you don't have such a face." ”

Zhuge Jin nodded, a little unhappy. Although his ability is not outstanding, he is very good at dealing with people, and when Sun Quan is angry, not many people dare to persuade him, but he dares to persuade him, and he can often persuade him. This time, Sun Luban led the troops to "Qingjun's side", in his opinion, that is, to send an envoy to say two good words, Sun Quan just wanted to give in and lead the army to intercept it, but he just stiffened the matter. It's just that Sun Quan won't let him go, and he can't take the initiative to go, and now that Sun Quan has asked him, how can he still shrink back. Zhuge Ke advised him not to be anxious for the time being, but he was a little unimpressed, but he always knew his son's intelligence, so he did not directly veto.

Zhuge Jin changed his clothes, followed the Lang officials to the palace of King Wu, and saw Sun Quan, who was sick in bed. Sun Quan sat up strongly, although the sweat on his face had been wiped off, his face was very bad, his lips were not bloody, and his eyes were very weak. Seeing Zhuge Jin, he forced out a smile: "Ziyu, you are so comfortable at home." ”

Zhuge Jin smiled solemnly: "Inheriting the great king Tianwei, there is nothing in the world, and the minister can be a peaceful prime minister." ”

"Nothing happens in the world?" Sun Quan smiled faintly: "There is nothing in the world, there is something at home, I ...... Alas, what a shame. ”

Zhuge Jin was silent. In the past two years, Wu State can indeed be regarded as peaceful, with Yue Guo on the side, Wu State did not dare to be too harsh on taxes, for fear of forcing the people to be anxious, and a large area of exile would occur again, with such pressure, whether it was Sun Quan or the generals, they all knew to treat the people leniently, mainly through business to accumulate wealth, although the son lived a little tighter, but it was still stable, and the civil unrest that lasted for decades in Wu State also stopped a lot, and he can indeed be said to be a peaceful prime minister. The chaos of the Wu Kingdom lies in the position of the crown prince, and these are all matters of the inner court, not under the control of him, the prime minister.

"Luoyang has an edict, you help me with the staff." Sun Quan moved his finger and asked Gu Li to hand the edict to Zhuge Jin. Zhuge Jin took the edict and was stunned for a moment, the edict seemed to have been pinched, it seems that Sun Quan is not in a good mood, it must not be a good thing. He immediately opened the edict and read it, and when he saw that Sun Shao had returned to the dynasty victoriously, he remembered Zhuge Ke's analysis, and couldn't help but jump his eyebrows, a trace of joy just appeared, and then he regained his calm.

After reading the edict, he gently placed the edict on the table, pushed it forward, and knelt quietly.

"What do you think?" Sun Quan asked.

"Such a big event, I deserve to participate."

"Who's going?" Sun Quan asked.

Zhuge Jin hesitated, the edict of the Son of Heaven specified that the three kings should participate, but since Sun Quan asked so, he obviously didn't want to be embarrassed. If the king doesn't go, it's not impossible, the prince just goes, but now the prince has not yet decided, I heard that Mrs. Wang has an awkward relationship with Sun Quan every day about this matter, how dare he mention it.

Sun Quan glanced at Zhuge Jin, the corners of his mouth trembled, as if he had expected Zhuge Jin not to know how to answer this question, he coughed: "What is Yuan Xun doing at home?" ”

"Read...... Study! ”

"What books to read?"

"New ...... The Classic of Mountains and Seas. ”

"Is it the most recent issue?" Sun Quan hooked his fingers, Gu Li took a book from the bookcase next to him and handed it to Zhuge Jin, Zhuge Jin glanced at it and nodded hurriedly: "Exactly." ”

"Hmph." Sun Quan laughed: "I regret it now, he didn't want to let him go at the beginning, otherwise, this time in Sasansan, with his ability, he can at least be crowned a marquis." ”

Zhuge Jin didn't say anything, and said in his heart When did you let him go, and now he said something like this, but he didn't dare to poke it in front of him, so he could only smile noncommittally.

"Studying behind closed doors at a young age, do you want to learn from celebrities? Don't you hear that real celebrities are self-effaced, that kind of demeanor is not pretended. Sun Quan said a lot in one breath, a little out of breath, stopped and gasped for a moment, and then continued: "Let him go to Funan and ask King Yue for some medicine, my uncle is sick like this, is it possible that he doesn't show any filial piety?" ”

Zhuge Jin suddenly realized, thought for a while, and hurriedly nodded: "The king has an order, if you dare not obey, the minister will go back to convey the king's will to him." ”

"Not busy." Sun Quan waved his hand, sat up from the couch, stared at Zhuge Jin with a pair of blue eyes, and the indescribable majesty forced Zhuge Jin to hold his breath: "Ziyu, the widow's body has not been good, and it is time to make a prince, what is your opinion on the choice of the prince?" ”

Zhuge Jin gritted his teeth, only to feel his temples beating wildly, the sound of his heartbeat was clearly audible, and a drop of sweat came out of his sideburns. Sun Quan has six sons, the eldest Sun Deng, the second Sun Sun Xian, these two people died early, the third son is Sun He, born to Mrs. Langya Wang, fifteen years old this year, the fourth son is Sun Ba born to Mrs. Xie, the fifth son is Sun Fen born to Zhong Ji, and the sixth son is Sun Xiu born to Mrs. Nanyang Wang. Originally, Sun He had the best chance, but I don't know why, Sun Quan suddenly lost his previous favor for him, and even changed his attitude towards his mother, Mrs. Wang.

So, does he want to establish Sun Ba? Sun Ba is fourteen years old this year, and it is said that it is almost the same to be established as the crown prince, but if you want to establish Sun Ba, will Mrs. Wang be willing? I heard that Mrs. Wang will make a kind of soup, which is Sun Quan's favorite, and if you don't eat it for a few days, you will lose it, and now Sun Quan doesn't drink a mouthful of soup because he doesn't like their mother and son, but who knows how long Sun Quan can last, in case he likes Sun He again, wouldn't he offend Mrs. Wang's mother and son miserably?

In addition, there is another question, after Sun Ba is established, can Sun Luban give up? I'm afraid it's a bit hanging, so the final key is still on Sun Shao's body.

"All the sons are very smart, and they are all rare talents, but they are ...... Talent is rare, and longevity is also a factor that must be considered. The minister doesn't know anything about physiognomy, and he can't see which of the sons is more longevity, the king, is it for people to take a look? ”

"Who will see it?" Sun Quan thought thoughtfully: "If you want to talk about physiognomy, it is still the lonely city Zheng Yu who is the first, after her death, there is no one who is good at looking at people." ”

"Zhuya Academy has it." Zhuge Jin said with a smile.
