Chapter 454: Believing Slander Forced Lu Xun to Death
Lu Xun followed Zhang Zhao to Zhang's mansion. After the guest and host sat down, Lu Xun said with some dissatisfaction: "Why don't you refuse to be a direct admonition?" Is the current situation the time for the lord to ascend to the throne? Zhang Zhao sighed and said, "Why not?" Our army won successive battles on the front line, and the Wei army had no power to fight back. Seeing that Cao Wei is about to be defeated, if the lord can't take the throne, after Cao Wei is destroyed, the Liu family is called the emperor's honor, how will the lord compete with it? ”
"This, this ......" Lu Xun was taken aback and said, "This is what adults mean?" Zhang Zhao shook his head and said, "This is what the lord means in his heart." The general should know that this time the lord is already determined to take the position, and Zhuge Ke is instigating him, I am afraid that you and I will no longer be able to stop this matter. ”
"You can't stop it, and you have to stop it." Lu Xun said loudly: "The soldiers in front have been fighting to the death for many years, and they have not had the slightest rest and settlement, but the lord is the emperor in the rear, can you chill the hearts of the soldiers in front?" And Zhao Shu sent someone here, how could he be so kind? There must be a conspiracy in it, how can the lord be rash and gullible? Zhang Zhao looked at Lu Xun, still with a long sigh, and said: "The general is so loyal, I am afraid that the lord will not only not understand, but will ......" said and asked in a low voice: "Hasn't the general heard rumors from the outside world recently?" ”
Lu Xun's heart froze, and he said unhappily: "The boss also believes these rumors? Zhang Zhao said: "Although the old man doesn't believe it, who can guarantee that no one will use this to speak to the lord, and the general will prevent the lord from taking the throne, wouldn't it be just right...... Alas!!! Lu Xun originally spoke generously, but at this moment, he was stunned on the spot like a lightning strike, and he sat down slowly for a long time and said, "The lord doubts me? This sentence had been asked to himself a thousand times in his heart, and only this time did he say it. In the tone, there are thousands of grievances and thousands of grief.
Zhang Zhao has followed Sun Quan for many years, and it can be said that he has watched him go from immaturity to maturity, but now he is moving from maturity to confusion. Since Lu Xun defeated Liu Bei, he has never had the opportunity to lead troops to fight, and the words "the lord doubts me" are really true. But who would dare to say? Zhang Zhao pulled Lu Xun to withdraw, just because he wanted him not to deepen Sun Quan's suspicion, so he persuaded: "The lord is on the rise now, the general doesn't have to go against his will, and when he discusses it again tomorrow, let's obey the lord's will." Lu Xun looked at Zhang Zhao, and finally understood why this old man had been undefeated in the officialdom of Soochow for decades, and smiled bitterly: "My lord is kind, and I have a certain heart." ”
At this time, Zhang Chengdao, the son of Zhang Zhao outside: "Father, the lord sent someone to urgently summon General Lu to discuss the matter. Zhang Zhao's heart suddenly tightened, and he turned to look at Lu Xun and said, "Why is the lord calling you again?" Could it be that Zhuge Ke has entered some slander again? Lu Xun smiled faintly and said, "The villain slanders, how can I be afraid?" He immediately got up and took his leave. Zhang Zhao originally planned to go with him, but was persuaded by Lu Xun and said, "Since the lord did not summon the lord, it is better for the lord not to go." When I heard the old man's words, I was already stunned and understood how to deal with it. As he strode away, Zhang Zhao looked at Lu Xun's back and couldn't help but sigh heavily. Over the years, Zhang Zhao's sighs have become more and more.
When Lu Xun came to the main hall, only Sun Quan was tall and gloomy. After paying homage, Sun Quan didn't let Lu Xun get up, but just asked coldly: "Why did Bo Yan prevent Lone from becoming a nobleman?" Lu Xun didn't open his mouth to answer, but Sun Quan had already said loudly: "Could it be that you feel that your name is not right, and your words are not good?" He sat down on the throne and shouted, "This position should also be sat by someone else?" Lu Xun suddenly understood that what Zhang Zhao said was true, and there were already villains who took the opportunity to play and frame themselves, and wanted to open their mouths to argue, but they felt a sadness in their hearts, and they didn't know where to start. has followed Sun Quan for so many years, if he hadn't defeated Liu Bei's army of tens of thousands in one fell swoop, where would Sun Quan have his current foundation? Full of loyalty, but in exchange for more suspicion, Lu Xun raised his eyes to look at Sun Quan, and said expressionlessly: "The lord, the minister persuades the lord, there is no selfishness, it is all for the sake of my Dongwu foundation......"
Sun Quan sneered a few times and said, "I'm afraid it's for someone else's inheritance, right?" Lu Xun only felt that this sentence was like a heavy hammer, hitting his heart, and his heart sank to the bottom of the ice, and he said half-loudly: "Since the lord insists on taking the throne, the minister can only follow the hundred officials to celebrate." Sun Quan couldn't understand Lu Xun's heartache, and said, "I'm afraid that you are still unconvinced." Lu Xun shook his head indifferently and said, "The minister doesn't dare." He replied: "If the lord is fine, the minister will retire, go back to the house to repair the watch, and ask the lord to take the throne." ”
Sun Quan didn't know what to say at the moment, so he waved his hand and motioned for Lu Xun to retreat. Lu Xun stiffened up and walked out of the hall step by step. But after a while, I heard the waiter outside exclaim: "Oh no, Lu Dudu vomited blood and fainted...... Sun Quan was shocked, hurriedly took two steps, but stopped again, and shouted in a deep voice: "Come on, send Dadu Governor back to the house to recuperate." ”
Lu Xun was angry and hateful, and he couldn't afford to get sick, so he neither persuaded Sun Quan to take the throne again, nor did he ask Sun Quan to be the emperor. But no matter what his attitude was, he couldn't stop Sun Quan's intention to be the emperor, and finally under the congratulations of hundreds of officials, Sun Quan inherited the emperor's position in Jianye, and the country was called Dawu. Zhang Zhao and other general ministers have been added to the rank of knight, and Zhuge Ke, who has made the first contribution, has been rewarded even more, and the scenery is unlimited for a while.
Lu Xun was originally recuperating at home, but how could he not know such a major good news? It has been his long-cherished wish for many years to assist Sun Quan in achieving the emperor's cause, but now Lu Xun's heart is not only not a trace of joy, but extremely worried. But at this moment, Sun Quan has just been on the Ninth Five-Year Plan, where can he still listen to the slightest word of advice? What's more, Lu Xun himself has always been suspicious of Sun Quan. "Disaster is coming." Lu Xun whispered these four words over and over again, his voice getting lower and lower, and finally quieted down. Lu Kang, who was serving next to him, knew the pain in his father's heart, but he didn't know how to persuade him, so he had to gently cover his father with a quilt, and then quietly withdrew from the room.
In the early morning of the next day, Sun Quan was still immersed in the joy of ascending to the pole and did not get up. Then an attendant came to report that the Metropolitan Governor Lu Xun had died of illness in the mansion last night. At this moment, Sun Quan felt a little self-reproach in his heart, and recalled the war eight years ago. If it weren't for Lu Xun, Liu Bei's revenge soldiers would have already hit this Jianye City, and there would never be a day when he would ascend the throne and claim the emperor. "Spread my will and bury it with the gift of a prince." Sun Quan did not expect that the first holy decree after becoming emperor was to bury this hero who assisted him in achieving the emperor's cause.
The chamberlain did not retreat, and Sun Quan asked again, "What else is the matter?" The chamberlain hurriedly replied: "Lu Kang, the son of Lu Dudu, asked his subordinates to play Your Majesty, and Lu Dudu left his last words before he died. Sun Quan nodded slightly and said, "Say it." The chamberlain did not answer, but first prostrated himself to the ground and pleaded guilty, saying: "The subordinates are brave, and the last words are only four words: 'A great disaster is coming'." ”
"Bastard." Sun Quan shouted angrily, so frightened that everyone on the left and right fell to the ground and begged for mercy. After a long time, Sun Quan said slowly: "Go ahead." The chamberlain hastened up and fled as if it were an amnesty.
