Chapter 453: Eager to be the emperor, greedy for vanity

In Jianye's palace of King Wu, there were loud quarrels. There are only four people in the hall, Sun Quan sitting on the throne, Zhang Zhao who stands silently next to him, and Lu Xun and Zhuge Ke, who are red-faced. "That's enough." Sun Quan finally couldn't bear it anymore, opened his mouth to stop the quarrel between the two, and asked Zhang Zhaodao: "The boss has not said a word, can you say a word now?" Among these three people, Lu Xun and Zhang Zhao are important ministers of Eastern Wu, and Zhuge Ke is Sun Quan's new favorite, so Sun Quan summoned the three of them to discuss major matters. However, Lu Xun and Zhuge Ke had opposite opinions and had endless disputes, so Sun Quan had to ask Zhang Zhao.

Zhang Zhao stood there with his eyes closed, indeed a little old, but after opening his eyes, he still looked so energetic. Looking at Sun Quan, who was full of earnestness, and then at Lu Xun with an angry face, Zhang Zhao just sighed heavily in his heart, and said slowly: "The stakes are very high, please think twice, lord." Although the words were extremely tactful, they were undoubtedly helping Lu Xun and did not agree with Zhuge Ke's opinion. It's a pity that Sun Quan is on Zhuge Ke's side in his heart, and when he heard Zhang Zhao say this, his face suddenly sank, and he said: "It's not too early, you guys should step back for the time being." ”

Lu Xun and Zhang Zhao retreated, only Zhuge Ke stood and refused to leave. Lu Xun saw that he didn't leave, and wanted to stay, but Zhang Zhao secretly pulled his sleeve and signaled to leave. Lu Xun had no choice but to glare at Zhuge Ke fiercely, and then went down with Zhang Zhao. Sun Quan also looked at Zhuge Ke, who refused to leave, and asked, "What else do you have to say?" Zhuge Kefu took two steps forward and replied, "The lord hesitated? ”

Sun Quan nodded and said, "The two of them are important ministers of the country, and since they are both opposed, it is difficult for Gu to insist on his own opinions." Let's talk about ......" glanced at Zhuge Ke and continued: "Besides, Zhao Shu persuaded Gu to take the position, but I am afraid that he may not have any good intentions. Zhuge Ke also followed: "Zhao Shu is indeed uneasy and kind. ”

After Zhuge Ke returned to Wu with the envoy of Shu Han, he secretly asked Sun Quan to conform to the will of heaven and the people, and ascend to the throne. Although Sun Quan had already had this intention, he did not dare to act rashly, and summoned Lu Xun and Zhang Zhao to discuss. However, neither of these two people could understand Sun Quan's heart, and Lu Xun was even more resolutely opposed, claiming that this was Zhao Shu's trickery. Sun Quan came to ask Zhuge Ke at this moment, thinking that he would deny Zhao Shu's intentions, but he didn't want Zhuge Ke to admit it, so he couldn't help but be slightly annoyed, and said: "Since Zhao Shu has bad intentions, why do you still blindly persuade Gu to take the position, isn't it ......?"

"The lord is angry." Zhuge Ke said unhurriedly: "Although Zhao Shu has ill intentions, he is not the lord. "Sun Quan" Oh? He said, "Tell me." Zhuge Ke didn't answer and asked: "Zhao Shu's illness is a heart disease, seeing that Cao Wei is about to lose, can the lord know what he thinks most in his heart at the moment?" Sun Quan's eyes flashed, and he said with a little joy: "Could it be that he wants to ......" Zhuge Ke nodded and said, "Exactly." Zhao Shu has worked hard for the Han dynasty for decades, and now the two are prosperous and have to occupy half of the country, is he really willing to hand over these to the Liu family? ”

"Not bad, not bad." Sun Quan nodded with a smile and said, "This person has lofty ambitions, but how can he be a person who has lived below others for a long time." He sent someone to persuade Gu to take the position, but he just wanted to exchange for Gu's support. Zhuge Ke had already figured out this truth, and now he saw that Sun Quan also understood, so he smiled and said: "The lord is wise." ”

Sun Quan laughed even more, the emperor's throne was so tempting, no one could resist it. If he wants to ascend to the Ninth Five-Year Plan, how can Zhao Shu be willing to be a vassal to Liu Chan? originally thought that Zhao Shu would have some conspiracy, but now Sun Quan was much more relieved, laughed for a moment, thought of Lu Xun again, and couldn't help but say: "Despite this, Ke Zibu and Boyan are still opposed, and they are ...... alone."

"My lord." Zhuge Ke hurriedly said: "This extraordinary matter, the lord can make a decision alone, why do you need to care about the words of these two people?" Thinking that Cao Cao's army pressed the border, Zhang Zibu also persuaded the lord to surrender to Cao Cao, if it wasn't for the lord's wise decision, how could there be today? Sun Quan nodded and said, "Not bad, not bad." Zibu was too cautious and timid. Zhuge Ke saw Sun Quan nodding, his heart was overjoyed, and he replied: "As for General Lu, the lower officials think that he has selfish intentions. ”

"Where do you start?" Although Sun Quan has always distrusted Lu Xun, he was only suspicious in his heart, and when he heard Zhuge Ke say it to his face, he inevitably said deliberately: "Bo Yan is dedicated to the public, you can't talk nonsense." Zhuge Ke immediately bowed to the ground and said: "The lord doesn't know, there are rumors in the market, Lu Xun tried every means to dissuade the lord from taking the position, not for the sake of Jiangdong's foundation, as he said, but ...... It's ......"

"And what?" Seeing that he was only halfway talking, Sun Quan was even more anxious in his heart, and shouted, "You just have to say it." Zhuge Ke had no choice but to say: "The minister thinks that General Lu dissuaded the lord from taking the throne, but he had selfish intentions. This selfishness is, this selfishness is ......" Zhuge Ke repeated it several times before he seemed to finally make up his mind, and said: "This selfishness is that I feel that the lord should not be respected, it should be ......"

"Shut up." Sun Quan suddenly slapped the case and said angrily: "If you dare to talk nonsense again, you will cut off your tongue." Zhuge Ke suddenly sweated, kowtowed again and again, and said: "The minister also heard about this by chance, but I am afraid that the lord will be deceived by others...... Although Zhuge Ke did not say it clearly, Sun Quan's heart was bright, although he lived in the palace, but where could the rumors outside escape his ears and eyes? When his brother Sun Ce died young, his son was young, and Sun Quan was able to take on the foundation of Jiangdong. Since the Han Dynasty, the throne of the monarch has been inherited by the father and the son, and such a brother and brother will inevitably make Sun Quan feel a little uneasy in his heart. Especially his nephew Sun Shao is growing up, quite like his father, Sun Quan deeply feels that his brother has a future, but also has a trace of fear in his heart.

In recent years, it has been rumored that Sun Shao was in power, and Sun Quan was afraid that it was done by the enemy country's spies, so he only sent people to secretly investigate, but on the surface he pretended to have no knowledge. Now that Zhuge Ke has spoken his words, how can he not make Sun Quan angry? Lu Xun is Sun Ce's son-in-law and Sun Shao's brother-in-law, which is the most fundamental reason why Sun Quan has always been suspicious of Lu Xun. He repeatedly dissuaded himself from taking the position, could he really have such ulterior selfishness? Sun Quan looked at Zhuge Ke, his eyes became colder and colder, and he became more and more ruthless, only to see Zhuge Ke's whole body hairy, and his vest was cold, and then he said in a deep voice: "Come on, go and pass on Lu Boyan to see." ”

The waiter left in response, and Sun Quan ordered Zhuge Ke to retreat first. Zhuge bowed and retired, secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and said in his heart: Lu Xun, Lu Xun, why do you want to go against me? There was a burst of laughter in his heart, but he didn't know that he had done such a thing, and Zhao Shu, who was thousands of miles away, laughed even more happily.
