1。 Shocked Yizhou

During the Three Kingdoms period, 230 A.D., the second year of the Huanglong period of Eastern Wu. Thirty years of governance have enabled Soochow to reach the peak of national strength. In the first month of the year, a grand celebration of the prince of the country was held, and the edict was established to talk about the two positions of sacrificing wine to teach the students.

Sun Quan sits on the throne, with a purple beard and blue eyes, and a dignified appearance.

The ministers stood solemnly. Among them, the most conspicuous are the three female generals - the three princesses.

Princess Big Tiger, Sun Luban, she is Sun Quan's favorite daughter. Her husband, Quan Cong, stood beside her.

Princess Xiaohu, Sun Quan's youngest daughter.

Stinky Sister, the daughter of Sun Quan's late eldest brother Sun Ce. Her husband, Lu Xun, was mostly at her side.

An inner servant announced the edict: "...... This edict is hereby issued, and the capital is to talk about the two positions of sacrificing wine to teach the students. Chin this. The first month of the second year of Huanglong. ”

Zhang Zhao, an old minister of the Three Dynasties, excitedly said to the ministers on the left and right: "Okay! Holy to the extreme. Our emperor has issued this edict so that the young people can be taught. In the future, I will have many talents, and the national fortune is unlimited. ”

Shu Han's envoy Wang Ping nodded in favor.

Sima Zhao, the envoy of the Northern Wei Dynasty, stood cross-legged.

Sun Quan said with a sense of accomplishment: "Back then, my brother Sun Ce led the army to create a hegemony, and he was seventeen years old; Zhou Yu raised troops at the age of eighteen; Lu Xun, the governor of the capital, was also a young leader, and he repeatedly performed miraculous feats, and Yiling defeated Liu Bei's 700,000 army. It can be said that the people of Dongwu are outstanding and talented. The purpose of this edict is to make young talents stand out. Ladies and gentlemen, who are the outstanding young people in Soochow today? Please recommend one or two for me. ”

Zhang Zhao came out and said: "Your Majesty, the outstanding young man in Dongwu today is Zhuge Ke. ”

Sun Quan said: "Zhuge Ke? ”

Zhang Zhao nodded and said, "That is, Zhuge Ke, the son of Zhuge Jin." ”

Sun Quan suddenly remembered, made an elongated face with his hand, and laughed: "Elder Zhang Ge is talking about this kid." Summoned to me. ”

Zhang Zhao said: "The old minister is in charge." ”

When Zhang Zhao received the order, he deliberately walked to Zhuge Jin's side and nodded to indicate his recommendation.

Zhuge has always been cautious and cautious, and at this time, if he was suddenly attacked, he was uneasy.

Zhang Zhao led Zhuge Ke (eight years old) to the temple. Zhuge Kemian is special.

Zhang Zhao said: "Your Majesty, Zhuge Ke's order has arrived. ”

Sun Quan nodded and said, "Xuan He stepped forward to meet him." ”

Zhuge Ke stepped forward and knelt down and said, "Long live my emperor, long live, long live." ”

Sun Quan said: "Please get up." ”

Zhuge Ke stood up and stood aside.

Sun Quan said: "Raise your head and let me take a look." ”

Zhuge Ke raised his head.

Sun Quan saw it, and sure enough, his face was special, he laughed, and whispered a few words to the waiter.

The chamberlain nodded and left.

After a while, the chamberlain led a donkey to the temple. The ministers were all surprised and shook their heads in confusion.

Shu Han's envoy Wang Ping saw it and was very confused.

Sima Zhao, the envoy of the Northern Wei Dynasty, watched with great interest the scene of Sun Quan's golden palace trying his talents.

Sun Quan looked at the donkey, then at Zhuge Ke, laughed, picked up the pen on the case and said to the waiter: "Write it." ”

The chamberlain took the pen and said, "Order." ”

The chamberlain took a pen and wrote four characters on the donkey's head.

Sun Quan said: "Take it over and show it to the ministers." ”

The chamberlain led the donkey to Zhang Zhao, and when Zhang Zhao saw it, his face changed greatly.

Four words suddenly appeared on the donkey's head: Zhuge Ziyu.

The inner servant led the donkey to Zhuge Jin.

Zhuge bit his lip and remained silent.

The chamberlain led the donkey to a minister, who covered his mouth and turned his head and snickered.

The chamberlain led the donkey to another minister, and the minister let out a "hee" and did not dare to laugh.

The chamberlain led the donkey one by one, and showed the ministers all over the place.

The ministers finally couldn't help but laugh.

The waiter finally led the donkey and stood beside Zhuge Ke, intending to contrast.

The ministers laughed even more when they saw it.

Sun Quan also smiled happily.

Zhuge Ke suddenly knelt down and said, "Please give me a pen." ”

Sun Quan smiled: "Give him a pen." ”

The inner servant sent the pen to Zhuge Ke.

After Zhuge Ke took the pen, he added two more words on the donkey's head.

The chamberlain led the donkey to Sun Quan and invited Sun Quan to watch.

Sun Quan saw it, nodded and smiled, and said approvingly: "Okay!" Let the ministers see. ”

The chamberlain led the donkey and faced the ministers.

The six characters on the donkey's head are: Zhuge Ziyu's donkey.

The ministers applauded together.

Although Sun Quan expressed satisfaction and praise for Zhuge Ke's quick wit and smallness, he still wanted to try this child's great wisdom, so he asked with a deep smile: "Zhuge Ke, your father Zhuge Jin is my confidant, and your uncle Zhuge Liang is the prime minister of Western Shu. Do you think your father is better than your uncle? ”

Zhuge Ke was stunned for a moment and said, "Ah-"

Sun Quan smiled meaningfully: "Compared with Zhuge Ziyu and Zhuge Kongming, who is virtuous?" ”

This is a very small question, it is not like the question that ordinary people ask their children, "Do you think dad is better or mommy", it directly involves political stance, loyalty, family education, and inclination towards Wu and Shu. This is not an exam for the child Zhuge Ke, but a consideration of the loyalty of the Zhuge Jin family.

Zhuge was silent, but beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

Sima Zhao, the envoy of the Northern Wei Dynasty, was quite interested in this issue, and looked at Zhuge Ke with his chin in his hand and his head.

Shu Han's envoy Wang Ping was surprised by this question and also looked at Zhuge Ke.

The palace was silent, and all the ministers watched the eight-year-old boy and listened to his answer to this embarrassing, but important question that would determine his life.

Zhuge Ke said loudly: "Of course, my father is more virtuous!" Zhuge Ziyu is more Zhuge Kong Mingxian. ”

Sun Quan smiled and nodded, "How can you see it?" ”

This is even more of a difficult question to answer. As we all know, Zhuge Liang's wisdom, ability, and especially his character are almost all perfect and impeccable. It is almost impossible to point out Zhuge Liang's shortcomings.

Zhuge Jin let out a long sigh of relaxation. Zhuge Ke's answer just now has set the correct tone for future answers. Sun Quan's question seems difficult now, but even if Zhuge Ke's answer is very low and absurd, at best it is just a child's ignorance, and it is not lethal.

Zhuge Ke calmly replied: "My father knows what is going on, but my uncle doesn't know. ”

Sun Quan asked, "Can you explain it clearly?" ”

Zhuge Ke replied: "My father Zhuge knows that he is assisting a virtuous and virtuous monarch, and his career is flourishing day by day. But my uncle Zhuge Liang didn't know. ”

Zhuge Ke's answer is comparable to that of the oldest politician. He put aside his comments on Zhuge Liang and Zhuge Jin, and directly compared Sun Quan with Liu Chan (Adou), which seemed to be inadvertently patting Sun Quan's ass.

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were very surprised and admired Zhuge Ke's answer. This stinky boy is really going to be impressed in the future.

Sun Quan nodded and said proudly: "General Wang Ping, the special envoy of Shu Han, what do you think of what this eight-year-old boy said?" ”

Wang Ping naturally wanted to defend the reputation of his emperor and prime minister, but he couldn't offend Sun Quan, and at the same time, he wanted to stop comments on his emperor and prime minister, so he played the card of family affection.

Wang Ping said: "The emperor of Eastern Wu, the minister thought that Zhuge Ke had never been to Xishu, so he knew very little about his uncle Zhuge Xiangguo. Zhuge Xiangguo was the first emperor and assisted the first emperor Shu Han to open the country. Now Zhuge Xiangguo assists the queen, although the queen is young, his benevolence and filial piety are widely praised. The minister sent an envoy to Soochow this time, and the queen repeatedly explained that he must go to the tomb of his deceased mother and Mrs. Sun to pay respects. It can be seen that the latter lord is a generation of Ming monarchs, and over time, with the assistance of Zhuge Xiangguo, it will be a great cause. ”

Sun Quan said with a smile: "The queen of Shu Han is my nephew, and with this filial piety, it is a good thing." ”

Sun Quan changed his words and said: "Envoy Lao Gui sent a message to Zhuge Xiangguo, it is good to ride and shoot here, and Zhuge Xiangguo must have a good horse to give to his nephew." ”

Soochow does not produce good horses. In ancient times, cavalry was the sharpest offensive weapon, equivalent to modern tank armored forces. Having an elite iron cavalry force to compete in the Central Plains is Sun Quan's lifelong desire. When Wang Ping played the family card, Sun Quan took advantage of the situation and put forward a big request.

Wang Ping said: "After the minister returns to Shu, he must tell Zhuge Xiangguo." ”

Zhuge Ke obediently thanked him: "Uncle Xie gave the horse." ”

Sun Quan said disapprehantly: "Your envoy has not returned to China yet, and the horse has not been delivered, so why rush to say thank you?" ”

Zhuge Ke calmly replied: "Your Majesty's grace is all over the world, and now that Chrysostom is opened, the horse will definitely be delivered." Xishu is also a stable outside His Majesty. ”

Zhuge Ke gently patted the fart again.

Sun Quan laughed when he heard this.

Sun Quan was very satisfied, and said to Zhuge Ke: "Zhuge Ke, listen to Zhang Ge's old words, you are young and talented, try it today, it is really extraordinary." I hope that Zhuge will make special teachings in the future, and he will definitely be a pillar of the country in the future. Elder Zhang Ge, you need to spend more time teaching him. ”

Zhang Zhao was very proud, and specially pulled Zhuge Ke to stand beside him, and explained: "The donkey is also pulled over, and the donkey is also pulled over." This is a gift from the Holy Heaven. ”

Sun Quan looked at the donkey, thought for a moment, and said, "General Sima Zhao, the special envoy of the Wei State." ”

Sima Zhao came out and said, "So-and-so." ”

Sun Quan said: "Dongwu Zhenbao, I think Zhang Ge has already rejoiced with General Sima." I wonder if General Sima has chosen something he likes? ”

Sima Zhao replied with a big grin: "Just look at it, those things are all for you." ”

Sun Quan heard this and said happily: "Elder Zhang Ge." ”

Zhang Zhao said: "The old minister is here." ”

Sun Quan asked, "Is there a decision with General Sima on the horses?" ”

Zhang Zhao said in embarrassment: "The number of horses is still being decided. ”

Sun Quan said dissatisfiedly: "The old man is doing things, why is he so procrastinating? ”

Zhang Zhao didn't know how to resolve the holy anger, and said, "This, this ......"

Sima Zhao said briskly: "Lord Wu doesn't have to blame Lao Zhang, a certain and Lao Zhang finalized it on the spot." ”

Sun Quan said: "Finalized on the spot? ”

Sima Zhao nodded to Zhang Zhao and said, "Lao Zhang, stretch out your hand, you and I will agree on the spot." ”

Zhang Zhao hesitantly stretched out his hand.

Sima Zhao and Zhang Zhao held hands and traded in their sleeves.

The ministers were dumbfounded.

Zhang Zhao was quite surprised by the number of transactions in his sleeve, shook his head and asked, "Huh?" ”

Sima Zhao nodded in affirmation: "Hmm! ”

Zhang Zhao shook his head and said, "Too little!" Too little! ”

Sima Zhao smiled and said: "Friend, for the sake of the same name as Lao Zhang, let Lao Zhang point again." ”

Zhang Zhao shook his head and said, "No, no." Among the treasures you see are bird's head incense, pearls, ivory, rhino horns, jade, hawksbill turtles, peacocks, fighting ducks, and long-singing chickens. ”

Sima Zhao said firmly: "Treasures are things to play with, and they are dispensable. And a certain war horse with you, the horses are all hussars on the field, and they cannot be let again. ”

Zhang Zhao almost begged and said, "Friend, let one more finger, let one more finger." ”

Sima Zhao shook his head and said, "No! ”

Sun Quan said magnanimously: "Dongwu is a big country, how can the trade be like a vegetable seller in the market? Ge Lao, let's make a deal. ”

Sima Zhao said loudly: "Okay, deal." ”

Sima Zhao shook Zhang Zhao's hand hard, and Zhang Zhao let out an "ouch" in pain.

Sima Zhao arched his hand and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry." As is customary, the more powerful the handshake is the more sincere. ”

Sun Quan was in a good mood and announced: "Today, the establishment of the Guozijian and the opportunity to see young talents make me happy. Today's big tiger and little tiger princesses are very interested, and they want to practice a set of Sun family's ancestral Sun martial arts sword for you to cheer up today's ceremony. Big Tiger, Little Tiger, let's practice. ”

The big tiger and the little tiger came out heroically and said, "Command." ”

The big tiger and the little tiger are sparring.

The rhythm of the two princesses is fast and slow, and the sword light is released from time to time, which makes people dazzled.

Sima Zhao was naturally very interested in the secret legend Sun Wujian, especially when it was performed by the two princesses. But he deliberately pretended to be careless and stood by, squinting.

Wang Ping looked at it carefully and nodded silently.

Quan Cong (the husband of the Great Tiger Princess Sun Luban) Du Wei nodded in appreciation while watching.

Lu Xun (Sun Ce's daughter, the husband of the stinky princess) nodded his head.

The stinky princess beside Lu Xun looked at it seriously.

The past emerged: Little Stinky Sister and Little Sun Shangxiang were kicking sandbags.

The stinky girl threw the sandbag on the head of the little Lu Xun, and the little stinky girl was laughing.

The little stinky girl and the little grandson Shangxiang are playing with the jade mountain jade and the jade seal of the country.

Princess Stinky Sister whispered to Lu Xun: "This set of swordsmanship, if it really fights, it still has to be counted as an aunt and a girl." ”

Lu Xun motioned for her to be silent.

The big tiger princess and the little tiger princess practiced, and the ministers applauded.

Sun Quan smiled.

Zhuge Ke suddenly came out and said, "Your Majesty, can the student ask a question?" ”

Zhuge Ke's move, Zhuge Jin and Zhang Zhao both felt very sudden.

Sun Quan was very interested, and said, "Ask, Zhuge Ke." ”

Zhuge Ke said: "The students saw the two princesses dancing with swords, which was very good. Students have recently heard that there is another princess of Soochow who is very good, I don't know which princess it is? ”

When Sun Quan heard this, he felt very comfortable in his heart, and said: "Princess Dongwu, all women don't let their eyebrows go. What kind of princess of Soochow you are talking about, let's hear it. ”

Zhuge Ke saw that his topic made Sun Quan interested, and he said with great enthusiasm: "Students have frequently heard overseas businessmen talk about it recently, and there is a director and chief controller of Dongwu Gong in Yizhou, Southeast China. Sun Yuan, the prince of Yan, led five warships to invade, and the princess of Dongwu led two ships to meet the enemy. In an instant, Princess Dongwu sank an enemy ship and captured three enemy ships. Sun Yuan, the prince of Yan, had only one boat left to escape. ”

Hearing Zhuge Ke's sudden mention of Yizhou, Zhuge Jin and Zhang Zhaojun's faces changed greatly.

Sun Quan was shocked and said, "Hmm—there is such a thing? Two ships fought five ships, one ship was sunk in an instant, and three ships were captured alive - Zhang Zhao, where is Yizhou in the southeast? ”

Zhang Zhao glared at Zhuge Ke and replied: "This, in the southeast of Yizhou, the old minister doesn't know about it. ”

Sun Quan turned his head and asked again: "Zhuge Jin, Southeast Yizhou, you should know." ”

Zhuge said solemnly: "Southeast Yizhou? The minister only knows that Yizhou is an isolated island in the southeast, and he goes to the sea for 2,000 miles. ”

Sun Quan asked, "What about the princess of Dongwu?" Who is she? ”

Zhuge said solemnly: "I don't know anything about this minister. Children are ignorant, listen to rumors in the market, and don't take them seriously. ”

Sun Quan Zhengse said: "How can this be reasonable! There is such a powerful military force behind it, it is unheard of, so how can I not worry about it? Although Lü Meng's white-clothed army was small at the beginning, it was able to attack Jingzhou, so that Guan Yu's victorious Northern Expedition army was instantly dispersed. If one day, my handsome army marched north and chased the Central Plains, and the princess of Yizhou, Huang Que, was behind and took advantage of the weakness to attack my Jianye, wouldn't it be a big deal? ”
