Chapter 100: The Way of the King
Sun Huan and Sun Qian stood outside the main hall door of Zhaoyang Palace, holding the handle of the knife tightly with their left hand, listening to the movement in the hall with their ears sideways, preparing to go in and rescue the driver in time if there was a fight inside. But......
It seems that things are going well, and an hour has passed. The guards in the hall slowly opened the door of the Zhaoyang Palace, and saw Wu Hou Sun Quan holding the hand of the governor Zhou Yu and walking out of it with a smug face, and went straight to the apse with high spirits. Then the Jiangdong civil and military forces also slowly walked out of the main hall, only to see the Jiangdong Changshi Zhang Zhao, who was walking in the front, with a blue face, and turned his face hatefully and glared at Yu Fu and Bu Qi a few times, flicked his long sleeves, and strode away angrily. Yu Turn, Bu Qi and the others looked extremely embarrassed, with a helpless face, shaking their heads and sighing again. followed by Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, and Han Dang, who were also triumphant and full of spring breeze. These old guys seemed to have been beaten with chicken blood, and their gray beards trembled proudly.
"Third brother, what's the situation with this girl? Who made our Zhang Changshi angry like this? "Sun Qian, this guy is inexplicable.
Although Sun Huan is known for his loyalty and honesty, it does not mean that people are stupid. On the contrary, this guy is a typical wise fool, and he sees a lot of things brightly! Seeing Jiangdong Junchen behaving like this, he probably understood what was going on. But there are some things that can't be said, seeing that my younger brother was stunned and seemed to have to ask this, he suddenly became angry, turned his head and reprimanded with an angry face: "How did your father teach you before joining the army?" To be a guardian of the inner house, you must learn to see more, listen more, do more, and talk less! Have you forgotten everything? ”
Sun Qian is the youngest of Sun Jing's four sons, about the same age as Sun Huan, and has been closest to his third brother Sun Huan since he was a child. If there is anything, Sun Huan will also bear it for him, quite defending. Therefore, Sun Qian has both respect and fear for his third brother, and he has always obeyed his words and did not dare to disobey.
Seeing that Sun Huan was angry, he hurriedly closed his mouth, looked at his nose and mouth, and kept his mouth shut. A look of grievance with an angry face. As the saying goes, "the eldest brother is like a father", Sun Huan's feelings for his younger brother are actually more like a father's feelings for his son. Seeing Sun Qian's pitiful appearance, he shook his head, walked up to Sun Qian, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Brother is doing this for your own good!" Trouble comes from the mouth, especially those of us who are the guards of the inner house, we must be extremely careful! If you're not careful, you'll be shattered! ”
Sun Qian didn't seem to understand, but he still nodded solemnly, indicating that he would be obedient. Seeing this, Sun Huan smiled, leaned into Sun Qian's ear, and whispered: "Our Jiangdong is going to raise troops to fight against Cao!" ”
"Really?" Sun Qian was pleasantly surprised when he heard this. In fact, as the core family of Jiangdong, the Sun family certainly didn't want to surrender to Cao Cao, and went to Xuchang to see the eyes of others. So in fact, among the ministers in Jiangdong, it is not the military generals and nobles such as Cheng Pu and Zhou Yu who want to resist Cao the most, but the grandfathers of the Sun clan who have been silent in the court disputes. These guys didn't say anything on the surface, but secretly they contributed to the anti-Cao sentiment of the military general group. Even a guy like Sun Jing, who seems to be indifferent to Cao on the surface, is actually actively involved in it in private.
"Haha It's so exciting! Hahaha, Gongjin! How did you do it! I want to laugh when I think of Zhang Zhao's angry face today, this is fucking happy! In the apse, Sun Quan beat his chest and smiled very imagelessly. This is estimated to be Sun Quan's happiest time since Cao Cao's southern expedition.
Zhou Yu is also very happy today, and his generous speech in the court has finally finalized the major event of raising troops to resist Cao. The next step is to requisition the army, raise grain and grass, and prepare the army for war. Zhou Yu took out a bamboo slip from his cuff, handed it to Sun Quan, and said with a smile: "All the mysteries are in it!" ”
"Oh?" Sun Quan took the bamboo slip in Zhou Yu's hand and looked at it, browsing from top to bottom, and his smile suddenly froze on his face, "Smack!" These bastards! On weekdays, loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness shouted loudly, but I didn't expect it to be such a servile villain's face, shameful! Shame on you! Sun Quan slammed the bamboo slip to the ground, his eyes widened, his purple beard trembled slightly, and his anger was not light.
Zhou Yu smiled and bowed his waist, picked up the bamboo slip, cleaned it with his sleeves and put it in his arms. He saluted Sun Quan and said: "My lord, the ancients said: The hustle and bustle of the world is all for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit!" It has been the case since ancient times! Great benefit to the front, flesh and blood can be given up. Great harm in the front, loyalty, righteousness, benevolence and benevolence. In the past, in order to destroy the Rong country, Zheng Zhuang married the king of Rong with his own daughter. In order to escape the pursuit of the Chu army, Emperor Gao kicked the young Emperor Hui and Princess Lu Yuan out of the car. Flesh and blood relatives are still like this, let alone monarchs and ministers? ”
Sun Quan looked at Zhou Yu in surprise, as if he didn't know him. Sun Quan never dreamed that these unkind words would come out of the mouth of the humble and gentlemanly Zhou Gongjin. "Then why didn't Gong Jin descend to Cao?"
"Most people in the world are like this, but it doesn't mean that everyone is like this! The ministers and sons are trusted by the lord and bestow great things on the ministers. If the confidant dies, the lord treats Zhou Yu with brotherhood, and Zhou Yu dares not to repay him with his life? The minister said the above to tell the lord that there is nothing to blame for these people's actions. Seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages is just human nature! What the ministers follow the lord and covet is nothing more than high-ranking officials, glory and wealth. As the saying goes, if you learn literature and martial arts, you will sell the goods to the emperor's family. Since ancient times, there is no more way for monarchs and ministers than this, and the mediocre monarch reprimands the ministers with etiquette, and in the end the ministers rebel. The wise monarch is guided by the situation, and the heroes of the world are vying to follow. The way to be a king is nothing more than that! The lord has the spirit of a king, the posture of heaven and man, inheriting the foundation of his father and brother and sitting in the six counties of Jiangdong and looking at the world, he should understand this truth! Zhou Yu was afraid that Sun Quan would be resentful for a while, and he would do something drastic, which would ruin the rare favorable anti-Cao situation!
"Is that all there is to it?" Sun Quan really couldn't swallow this breath.
"Many ministers in Jiangdong have written flattering and sincere letters to Cao Cao, can the lord trace the past one by one? If that's really the case, it will only put the Jiangdong ministers in danger, and if Cao Jun didn't come, we would have messed up first. In the past, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao were holding each other in Guandu, and Cao Cao skillfully plotted to break Yuan Shao, and found many letters of allegiance written to Yuan Shao by officials in Xuchang in Yuan Shao's big tent. The generals persuaded Cao Cao to track them down one by one, and the lord guessed what Cao Gong did? ”
"How?"
"Burn it down!" Zhou Yu said with a smile.
"What? This...... What is this for? Sun Quan was puzzled, he didn't expect that the seemingly treacherous Cao Cao would be so generous to someone who had two hearts for him.
"Cao Gong said to his subordinates, the enemy is strong and I am weak, and even I was difficult to protect myself at that time, let alone others? It's human nature! Cao Gong burned the bamboo slips, which not only reassured those who thought they were afraid of Cao Cao's investigation and gave birth to rebellion, but also made these people feel guilty and thanked Cao Cao for his kindness! The lord's ambition is great, isn't this temperament as good as Cao's? ”
Sun Quan was ashamed when he heard this, and sighed: "It's me who is short-sighted for a while!" If it weren't for Gong Jin, he would almost have made a mistake! Gong Jin is really my Zhang Liang and Xiao He! Oh yes! What are those guys doing today, and they are fighting one after another? ”
Zhou Yu replied with a smile: "I sent them back the surrender letter they wrote to Cao Cao in the name of Marquis Wu!" ”
"Huh?" Sun Quan was stunned, and then understood the truth, and pointed at Zhou Yu and smiled. "Yours!"
