Three hundred and thirty-four times

The next day, Qiao Ren said in public that the Son of Heaven was old and sought to seek the country, and he was not young, and the current Wu State was not a situation where the lord and young ministers were suspicious, and there was no need for the Queen Mother to weigh the system. Therefore, there is the edict of the first emperor, but we as courtiers still have to mention that the queen mother shares worries, and if there is no major matter, don't bother the queen mother, even if there is a big event, draw up a charter and then go to the queen mother to see it.

If these words are said by others, they may not know how big a prodigal son they will set off, and people will speculate whether His Majesty and Mrs. Qiao and the Empress Dowager are not on good terms to seize power, or whether there are people in the court who oppose Qiao Ren's assistance, which will cause a series of questions. But if Qiao Ren himself proposed it, these turmoil would be avoided, obviously Qiao Ren would not harm his sister, and the ministers would naturally know that this was the meaning of the Queen Mother.

Many courtiers couldn't help but praise Da Qiao in their hearts, thinking that this is a reasonable and knowledgeable queen mother, anyway, the queen mother who has not interfered in politics since ancient times is a good queen mother.

However, just when there was a sound of harmony in the court, there was a discordant sound in the side courtyard of Qiao's mansion. The side courtyard of Qiao's Mansion is the residence of Qiao Renshu's eldest son Qiao Xun, as for Qiao Ren's righteous son George, he moved out of Qiao's Mansion and established his own mansion near Qiao's Mansion, and Sun Song has his own palace, but the two still have their own small courtyard in Qiao's house.

Today, Qiao Xun and George were originally drinking tea and playing chess in Qiao Xun's courtyard, but today, George, who is the fourth friend of the prince, and Qiao Xun, who has no official position at all, have no official affairs to do after Sun Shao's ascension.

"Brother, according to Uncle Jia, my father will transfer you to Lujiang Taishou in a few days, and the Jingyu Brotherhood will transfer back to Jianye to take over the post of Liu Zhang, who died of illness, as the chief farmer. Here the younger brother also wants to congratulate the elder brother, who has been promoted to two thousand!! Qiao Xun held a chess game in one hand and sat on a teacup in the other, and he didn't forget to congratulate George on his mouth.

The four friends of the prince may be called the four friends of Eastern Wu, but they are not Zhuge Ke, Zhang Xiu, Gu Tan, and Chen Biao in the previous life, these four people are because they are in literature. Military and political achievements have not been small, so the people of the time called them the four friends of Soochow. And because of Qiao Ren in this life, Sun Shao's four friends when he was the prince became Zhuge Ke, George, Chen Biao, and Gu Yuan, that is, George arrived at Zhang Xiu's position. These four friends are all Sun Shao's companions or even half teachers, and now that Sun Shao has ascended the throne as a subterranean mansion, it is inevitable that he will be reused from the dragon minister, especially George, who is the best at fighting among the four. I still remember that back then, when Qiao Ren adopted George, George pointed to Dai Gang's back and said that he would become a general in the future.

George holds the chess piece in his hand. smiled indifferently and said: "Zidao came to laugh at me again, my brother's ambition is to be a general, what is the matter with me going to be a taishou!" ”

"Brother's words are not right, for a general is not only martial arts, but also astronomy and geography are essential. However, the art of the emperor and the way of governing must not be overlooked, and the father wants you to be a taishou just to make you familiar with government affairs. And the Lujiang River is close to Shouchun. It is said to be the front line, but it is not the front line. There are still some jobs to help the war, which can be regarded as letting the brother know in his heart. Besides, Lujiang is where my Qiao family is, and since the first emperor, Lujiang Taishou has always been my Qiao family's people. ”

George was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then suddenly realized and smiled: "Brother Wei understands, although my brother's ambition is to be a general, but with my qualifications, when I go to the front line, I am just a captain, how can I make a difference, go to be a Taishou first, but when I turn into a brother, I have the right to lead an army." And in Lujiang Taishou as a brother, you can also build a force, Lujiang's army source is very good!! ”

"Haha!! It's great that my brother can understand his father's intentions!! Qiao Xun smiled and fell, looking at George's face that turned into a bitter gourd after his eyes moved down, he couldn't help but stroke his palm and smile: "Brother lost!" ”

"Brother Xian is amazing. Brother is not an opponent!! "George, this is a sincere word, if you talk about martial arts, George's nearly ninety strength is not comparable to Qiao Xun, who inherited Qiao Ren's body and has less than seventy strength, but the rest is ??? Whether it is wisdom, strategy, vision, or improvisation, George is not as good as Qiao Xun. There is even a saying in Dongwu that the young man Junjie in the world first recommended Qiao's Shuangbi, followed by Zhuge Ke, Quan Cong, and Gu Yuan, these five people are also known as the little five monarchs of Dongwu. (The Five Monarchs of Eastern Wu refer to the five ministers of the Sun Wu regime in Jiangdong during the Three Kingdoms period: Zhuge Jin, Gu Shao, Buqi, Yan Ji, and Zhang Cheng.) They were all valued by Lord Wu, and people also spoke highly of them at that time)

"I don't know what kind of errand Your Majesty and Father will give me!!" After Qiao Xun teased George, he expressed doubts about his future, he was different from George, the righteous son. If the righteous son mixes well, he is no worse than the son-in-law, look at Cao Wei's big Sima Cao Zhen (who made up for Cao Xiu's position) is a successful case; But Qiao Xun is a concubine, and he is a talented concubine, and he is Sun Quan's son-in-law and Dai Gang's nephew.

"You don't know what this father thinks, and you can't speculate about it as a brother. But since it's too guarded for the brother and the outsider, the virtuous brother shouldn't be bad!! ”

"Different! Different! The elder brother is one of the four friends of the prince, a close minister of His Majesty, Brother Zhuge was appointed as the Taishou of Danyang, and even Chen Biao was added to the army as a lieutenant, and in this capacity he served as the lieutenant of Xin'an as the deputy of Brother Zhuge , and I am afraid that it will be difficult to leave the Beijing Division!! ”

Because Wu Fennei, the former Danyang Taishou, was transferred to Jianye to form the Left Army from the new formation, and he was appointed as the general of the Left Army, so the position of Danyang Taishou was vacant, so Zhuge Ke filled this position. The Danyang Taishou of Wu was similar to Henan Yin and Jingzhao Yin of the Han Dynasty, and the capital of Wu was rebuilt from the Moling of Danyang County. In the past, Sun Ce led Jiangdong at the beginning, and at that time, the only miscellaneous general except Sun Ce, the Pinglu general Xu Kun, garrisoned Moling, in order to fight against Jiangbei, and later expanded Jianye City on the basis of the original Moling. Today's Jianye City includes the former Danyang and Moling counties, so Danyang Taishou should have actually been stationed in Jianye, but because the governors of Danyang County in the past dynasties were in Wanling, Zhuge Ke was going to Wanling to take office.

Danyang is known for producing elite soldiers, and Wu is a leading soldier system, so the successive Danyang Taishou have a Danyang elite army of about 1,000 people under his hands, and he will leave with this elite soldier after being transferred in the future. This is the case with Wu Fen, who was appointed as the Taishou of Danyang, and there were 2,000 Danyang elite soldiers under his hands, and after being transferred to the general of the Left Army, his army was the backbone of the formation of a new Left Army. It can be said that Danyang County, Changsha County, Xindu County, and Lujiang County, the four counties that produce elite soldiers, are all springboards for generals.

Therefore, Qiao Xun is very envious of Zhuge Ke, as long as he has been a Danyang Taishou for a few years and pulls up thousands of elite soldiers, whether it is the front line or the inner town Jianye, he has a little confidence.

"Something Goes Wrong!!" At this moment, an anxious voice came from far and near from outside, and this voice Qiao Xun and George were extremely familiar with it, and it was Zhuge Ke who had just been mentioned earlier.

"What's wrong, Brother Yuan Xun!!" Qiao Xun poured a cup of tea for Zhuge Ke, who had a dry mouth, and waited for him to rest before asking.

Xu Zheng came back, but brought back bad news, the boat to Yizhou capsized! Others, even important ministers like Zhang Zhao and Gu Yong, and even Zhuge Ke's father, Zhuge Jin, would not know the meaning of this, but as a few people who participated in the Jianye Rebellion, they were clear about what it meant.

Qiao Xun's brows suddenly furrowed, and he said in a low voice: "Something is strange!" ”

"Why not!! Xu Zheng has never died in the past few years of sailing, why did such an important ship capsize this time. George also interjected, but suddenly remembered that Qiao Xun was still the son-in-law of someone on this boat, and his tone couldn't help but pause and asked, "Do you want this news??"

"This little brother knows, it's not this !! that matters"

"To !!" Zhuge Ke said with a serious expression: "The most important thing is that Xu Zheng came back yesterday and had a secret meeting with Yulin Zhonglang General Zhu Ju, and this morning there was an edict in the palace to the pavilion to seal Xu Qi as the lieutenant of the middle base." ”

"Jump up, I'm afraid that's what that person meant!!" George couldn't help but shudder when he thought of this, "Is it possible!?" ”

"It shouldn't be against my father!" Qiao Xun interrupted George's conjecture and said, "It should be a desperate disaster, by the way, Brother Yuan Xun, what else is going on?" ”

"Big Brother is back!!"

"Big brother!!" Qiao Xun and George shouted in unison.

The eldest brother is worthy of Sun Song, Sun Song is the oldest of the many disciples taught by Qiao Ren, and everyone is more or less related, so Qiao Ren's students and many children of the Qiao family called Sun Song the eldest brother.

"Where's Big Brother?" Qiao Xun asked in a deep voice.

"Meet King Qiao in the lobby" Zhuge Ke's voice also changed slightly, and he seemed to feel a little wrong.

"He can meet His Majesty!!"

"No!!" Zhuge Ke finally couldn't hold it back anymore and said loudly: "Ouch! This big brother! How can you be so sloppy, Your Majesty has already ascended the throne, what is the reason why the envoy will not come back to the Taichu Palace to meet King Qiao first!! (To be continued......)
