Sun Song is the only son of Sun Ce's third brother Sun Yi, and after Sun Ce became emperor, he was also canonized as the king of Xindu County, firstly because he was the closest son of Sun Ce in the clan, and secondly, because he was Qiao Ren's righteous son, canonizing Xindu County was to let him have a army and develop well in the future.

After the founding of the state of Wu, Sun Ce adopted Qiao Ren's advice to establish the clan and princely management methods of the state of Wu. The kings of the clan of the state of Wu, including the kings of the county of the opposite sex, will not open the government to govern affairs, except for the few subordinate officials such as the long history, the main book, and Sima, they can no longer recruit other scholars. This is also one of the means to prevent the princes and kings from becoming bigger, without subordinate officials, they can't recruit talents, and if they don't have a country, they will put themselves under the supervision of Jianye.

But the princes and kings of Wu were not without benefits, and the princes and kings were able to participate in the government and hold important official positions like the Western Jin Dynasty, and even participate in the army to control the army. However, in order to prevent incidents like the rebellion of the eight kings of the Western Jin Dynasty, Qiao Ren also left a hand, and the princes and kings of Eastern Wu served as generals or foreign taishou and assassins, and there were also pawns sent by Jianye to monitor the kings.

The pawn was originally the official who was in charge of confidential information under the local governor of the Southern Dynasty, also known as the boss, the pawn or the commander. At that time, the government and the state used signatures to discuss matters. The matters discussed in the previous narrative are signed by a certain official in the later book, and the prefecture is in charge of the pawn. was originally a small official who handled paperwork and had little power. After the middle of the Liu Song Dynasty, the young prince was mostly appointed as Fang Zhen, and the monarch used the close left and right of the poor family as a pawn, replacing the kings to review official affairs, and even taking care of the kings' diet and daily life.

This official position, which would have taken hundreds of years to appear, was greatly appreciated under Qiao Ren's advance advice, coupled with Sun Ce's suggestion that Zhou Yu reuse the Hanmen to replace the old family and develop into a new family, and then reincarnate like this, the position of pawn signing was quite famous among the kings of Eastern Wu.

Therefore, when Qiao Ren learned that Sun Song would come to see him as soon as he returned to Jianye, he could hardly cry or laugh. In fact, Sun Song did not mean it, Sun Song and Zhang Wen were only the crown prince when Sun Song and Zhang Wen sent envoys. Sun Song, the oldest person of this generation (Lu Xun and the like are not counted), coupled with Sun Ce's desire to advocate unity within the royal family, brothers, friends and brothers, Sun Song has always been the status of the eldest brother, even if Sun Shaogui was the crown prince at that time, he still called Sun Song as the eldest brother. But today, Sun Shao is already His Majesty the Emperor, but Sun Song has not turned the corner for a while, and subconsciously came back to see Qiao Ren first.

Later, after Qiao Ren's little touch, he also realized that something seemed to be wrong. The new emperor is basically the time to establish his prestige, and you, the prince closest to the emperor in the imperial family, don't help, how can this be.

"Father, if you don't have a child, you will go to the Taichu Palace to face the holy !?" Sun Song's martial arts are almost comparable to Jiang Biao's Huchen. He is also a good hand at marching and fighting, training and training troops, but when it comes to political acumen, it is a mess.

Qiao Ren shook his head, knocked on Sun Song's head, and said, "Go at this time, how can you have steps for Your Majesty!" Can't!! ”

"What about my father!!?

"This!!" Where could Qiao Ren think of any way to rejoice with his family for a while. I can only watch. "Think again."

"Father!! The child asks to see !! At this time, Qiao Xun, George, and Zhuge Ke, who learned the news, rushed over.

"Oh! In!! Qiao Ren's eyes lit up when he saw these guys coming, Zhuge Ke has always been anxious and wise, and Qiao Xun is not bad. It's okay to have a few more people.

"I've seen big brother!!"

"Ladies and gentlemen, excuse me!!"

"Okay!!" Qiao Ren waved his hand impatiently. I haven't seen a few people so polite on weekdays, but today I made a show in front of him, and I really didn't think he was blind. "With this gap, I don't want to think about how to block the mouths of people with hearts!!"

In Qiao Ren's opinion, Sun Song came to visit him first and it was okay for him to be there, and the only thing to worry about was those who didn't worry too much about chewing the root of their tongue. However, in Qiao Xun's heart. The biggest problem is what the emperor thinks, neither Qiao Ren nor Sun Song can see as clearly as Qiao Xun, and their roles have not yet changed. Sun Shao is the emperor and the honor of the Ninety-Five. And he is an emperor with great ambitions, even though Qiao Ren is his uncle and uncle, and Sun Song is his cousin, but in Sun Shao's eyes, their first identity is without exception courtiers, and they are his Sun Shao's courtiers. This is the same as when Sun Shao bypassed Qiao Ren and privately instructed Xu Qi to get rid of Sun Quan through Zhu Ju when he was still the crown prince, and the current Emperor of Eastern Wu does not want Qiao Ren to participate in everything.

This is the common problem of the new monarch, and at the beginning of his ascension to the throne, he would look at these auxiliary ministers unpleasantly, unless he was like Liu Chan. But Qiao Ren, who is familiar with history books, didn't see this, and as a son of man, Qiao Xun didn't say much.

I had to deal with the situation first, Qiao Xun had thought of a countermeasure before he came, and as soon as Qiao Ren spoke, he replied: "What is the important matter of the eldest brother's envoy this time!?" ”

"Important!? This time, I went to Shuzhong in full accordance with my father's arrangement, provoked Xu Shu and Zhuge Liang to oppose each other, and visited Liao Li, Jiang Wan and others. ”

Seeing that Sun Song didn't think of anything, Qiao Xun didn't give up and continued to ask: "Shu Han has military movements!" ”

"This!!" Sun Song was quite sensitive to military affairs, lowered his head and thought for a while, and then thought of something: "When I went to Jingzhou, I heard that Deng Zhi, who had been sent by Shuzhong intelligence before, seemed to have gone to Hanzhong ......"

"Hanzhong?? Hanzhong!! Pregnant!!! Qiao Xun suddenly struck his left hand and right palm, and the appearance of a gain attracted the attention of everyone in the room.

"What's in Xun'er!?"

"Father, Deng Zhi is Zhuge Liang's love, why will he go to Hanzhong at this juncture?" Qiao walked around the room step by step, and said sentence by sentence: "Contact again, now that the Wei State has greatly reduced its military strength and is in a weak state, Dai Dudu and Tang Shi in the east are plotting to get rid of Pi, at this time, if Shu Han is the Northern Expedition, will it achieve the greatest results?" ”

"You mean Zhuge Liang wants to go on a northern expedition!!" Sun Song was stunned for a moment, but immediately shook his head and said: "Impossible, the Shuzhong family and the Dongzhou scholars have joined forces to oppose Zhuge Liang and other Jingzhou people, and now the internal instability Zhuge Kongming will go on a northern expedition!?" ”

"Haha! Big brother, who knows the internal struggle of Shu Han in my Dongwu except for these few in the house!? Qiao Xun spread his hands and rolled his eyes at Sun Song, and then said, "I'm afraid that except for Zhang Huishu, I think there is no one!" If I don't tell you, how will Your Majesty know!! ”

If the internal struggle of Shu Han is known everywhere, it is too disqualified, if there is no envoy to Shu Han, no one knows its internal disputes, at most it knows that there are many factions within Shu Han, even Qiao Ren relies on a strong intelligence system, and the original battle can only be known by the shadow of him behind the scenes, and other courtiers in the court, including Sun Shao, cannot know very much.

"But what does the Northern Expedition of Shu Han have to do with me!?

Seeing that Sun Song still didn't understand much, Qiao Ren couldn't help but hit him on the head again, and said angrily: "Is the Northern Expedition of Shu Han an important military intelligence, and where should such news be sent in the first place!? ”

"Taiwei's Mansion!! Oh!! The child understood. ”

Sun Ce's edict clearly stated that Sun Shao was allowed to study for three years, during which there were five auxiliary ministers to assist him, and the Empress Dowager Qiao's dynasty was in charge. And Qiao Ren happened to be the first assistant minister, and the important military news should be sent to the Taiwei Mansion instead of the palace as soon as possible, so the reason why Sun Song did not go to the palace to see His Majesty but went to Qiao's Mansion when he returned to Jianye made sense. As for whether Shu Han really wants the Northern Expedition, it doesn't matter, the information that Deng Zhi went north is true, and Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition is also a reasonable event that can be deduced.

However, Qiao Ren still had a trace of doubt in his heart, because he thought that Zhuge Liang was very likely to be the real Northern Expedition. Although Qiao Ren has been here for nearly thirty years, he can't remember the history of the Later Three Kingdoms at all, even if a name like Wen Yang pops up, he doesn't know who it is! But he still had some influence on Zhuge Liang's first Northern Expedition, and in his vague memory it seems that Zhuge Liang's first Northern Expedition was to first garrison Hanzhong nearly a year in advance to prepare for the Northern Expedition, when Deng Zhi was the central superintendent and general Yangwu, and ordered him and Zhao Yun to feign an attack on Yicheng and attract Cao Allah. The feint attack always starts before the main force, so Qiao Ren thinks that Zhuge Liang is very likely to really want the Northern Expedition, maybe it is not Zhuge Liang but Xu Shu's army.

If Xu Shu and Zhang Fei, who did not die, led the Northern Expedition, Qiao Ren should think about how to seek benefits for Dawu. Since the Northern Expedition of Shu Han proves that the major internal forces have reached an understanding or that Zhuge Liang has presided over government affairs with peace of mind, and the people who will lead the troops at that time must be Xu Shu, Li Yan and other generations, with Xu Shu's ability to respond to emergencies and command troops, and then take Zhuge Liang's logistics transfer comparable to Xiao He, the Northern Expedition of Shu Han will never return in vain like history, let alone the situation that the war in front is good but the back is short of food and grass.
