Chapter 657: The Middle Father Has a Negative Solution
Sun Quan felt tired.
Since he has not been able to escape the shadow left by his ancestor Sun Ce, he has to let himself get a relief today.
Sun Quan quickly suppressed the anger on his face, and he tried to calm his tone as much as he could.
"Summoning Zhang Zhao in."
After saying this, Sun Quan added another sentence:
"Tell him that I will only call him in."
Although Sun Quan's tone seemed calm, as a close minister by Sun Quan's side for many years, he still keenly captured the deliberately hidden chill in Sun Quan's words.
Looking at Sun Quan's deep and waveless eyes, he felt cold all over his body.
Can't even a respected elder like Zhang Gong ......
In the second half of the sentence, Yi didn't dare to think about it anymore.
Although Yi wanted to say something, due to Sun Quan's prestige, Shi Yi finally bowed his hand slightly to Sun Quan and came outside the Taiwei Mansion.
When he came to the outside of the Taiwei Mansion, Shi Yi saw a group of ministers sitting quietly outside the mansion at a glance.
Looking at the familiar faces of those ministers, Yi could easily call out each of them by name.
Because every minister who is sitting outside the palace at the moment is a Confucian who has been an adult in Jiangdong for many years, and all of them are the ministers who have assisted the Jiangdong Sun family for their hard work.
Don't look at Lu Xun's reputation in Dawu now, but Yi knows very well in his heart that in front of these real pillars of Dawu, the fledgling Lu Xun is still a little immature after all.
After a slight glance, it was Yi who fixed his gaze on a minister who was sitting quietly at the front of the Wu Chen.
Shi Yi knew that if there was no guidance from this person today, he would not have seen the scene of "all the sages knocking down".
And who else can have such a reputation in Dawu, besides Zhang Zhao?
"Gong Zhang."
Shi Yi called softly.
Under Shi Yi's gentle call, Zhang Zhao, who was the leader, slowly opened his eyes.
Zhang Zhao is seventy years old this year.
Seventy years old is quite rare in the past.
At the age of 70, Zhang Zhao's physical function inevitably became sluggish.
After Zhang Zhao slowly opened his eyes, he revealed a cloudy gaze.
Judging from Zhang Zhao's gaze alone, Zhang Zhao is no different from an ordinary old man.
But Yi didn't dare to despise Zhang Zhao at all.
When Zhang Zhao looked at Shi Yi, Shi Yi hurriedly walked down the steps and bowed deeply to Zhang Zhao:
"Your Majesty has a call."
Zhang Zhao, who originally seemed to be in poor spirits, suddenly reacted in his old body after hearing Shi Yi's words.
Without anyone's support, the stubborn Zhang Zhao stood up under the gaze of the ministers with the cane in his hand.
When he stood up, Zhang Zhao asked as if unintentionally:
"Your Majesty is calling a minister, or a minister."
Ministers and ministers seem to be just a word difference, but there is a world of difference between the inside.
In the face of Zhang Zhao's inquiry, Shi Yi did not dare to slack off, and he repeated Sun Quan's original words to Zhang Zhao.
Although Shi Yi's voice was soft, it still fell into the ears of the ministers behind Zhang Zhao.
For this group of veterans who have gone through the world, they naturally understand the meaning of Sun Quan's words.
They understand, how can Zhang Zhao not understand?
Your Majesty, this is a threat to him.
Of course, this can also be seen as a warning from Sun Quan to Zhang Zhao.
Back down at this moment, there is still room for everything.
It's just that Zhang Zhao will be afraid of Sun Quan's threat?
Will he care about Sun Quan's warning?
If he had had had had had been there, he wouldn't have come today!
"See you then."
Zhang Zhao's tone was very firm.
Zhang Zhao's answer made the ministers behind him worried, but it made Shiyi can't help but treat him again
Bow slightly.
Zhang Gonggang is upright, and it has always been like this.
After bowing to Zhang Zhao, Shi Yi led the way in front and took Zhang Zhao to the former Taiwei Mansion.
In fact, if it weren't for the need for etiquette, why would Zhang Zhao need to lead the way?
The predecessor of Taiwei Mansion was Sun Ce's Wuhou Mansion.
And Zhang Zhao, who was called the middle father by Sun Ce, was the one who presided over the construction of the Wuhou Mansion back then.
Perhaps after Sun Quan ascended the throne, he expanded the Taiwei Mansion many times, but no matter how it expanded, the basic outline of the pattern would not change.
As soon as he stepped into the mansion, a long-lost sense of familiarity appeared in Zhang Zhao's heart.
Following behind Shi Yi, Zhang Zhao walked step by step to the depths of the mansion, and in the process of moving forward with his body, Zhang Zhao's thoughts kept recalling the past.
In the early years of Jian'an, he took refuge with his friends and came to Jiangdong.
Just came to Jiangdong, after Sun Ce heard of his arrival, he personally prepared a big gift to visit him and invite him out of the mountain.
Under Sun Ce's earnest request, he was finally moved by Sun Ce to become one of Sun Ce's masterminds.
"I have something to do in all directions, and I am a scholar and a sage, and I must not be taken lightly by my son."
To this day, Zhang Zhao still remembers the day he left the mountain, Sun Ce was very happy.
It was also on that day that Sun Ce said this sentence to his subordinates.
Sun Ce was worried that Jiangdong's arrogant generals would disrespect him.
And when he was just taking office, Sun Ce came to his house with a smile on his face, and went to worship his mother with him, without the slightest sabbatical shelf.
After that day, Sun Ce affectionately called him "mentor".
Later, Sun Ce, who trusted him very much, handed over all the government affairs of Jiangdong to him to take care of, and never asked a cent.
In order to repay Sun Ce's knowledge and trust, he also conscientiously managed Jiangdong in an orderly manner.
With his assistance, Sun Ce won many battles and finally conquered Jiangdong.
In the end, Sun Ce's prestige attracted Cao Cao's attention.
In order to suppress Sun Ce, Cao Cao came up with a plan to discord.
During that time, there were letters from scholars in the north who were constantly delivered to Zhang Zhao, and the sergeant doctors praised Zhang Zhao's talents and faintly called Zhang Zhao the real master of Jiangdong.
After receiving those letters, Zhang Zhao did not rejoice, but only deep fear.
He knew that this was a vicious discord scheme, and he knew that no matter whether he had two hearts or not, once this matter was known to Sun Ce, he would definitely be suspected by Sun Ce.
For the sake of supreme power, can't teachers and friends be killed?
During that period of time, Zhang Zhao was afraid in his heart, and his behavior seemed to be restless.
Later, what Zhang Zhao was most worried about happened, and Sun Quan, who was taught in his mansion at that time, learned about it and immediately told Sun Ce about it.
At that time, Zhang Zhao thought that he was dying, after all, Cao Cao's discordant plan was one thing, and the most important thing was that he did not choose to take the initiative to inform Sun Ce of this matter because of fear in his heart.
No matter how you look at it, it is inevitable that he will lose Sun Ce's trust.
But what Zhang Zhao didn't expect was that Sun Ce didn't care at all after learning about it.
"In the past, the management of Zhong was Qi, one was the middle father, the other was the middle father, and the Huan Gong was the overlord sect. I'm going to use it, and I don't care about its fame!"
On the one hand, Sun Ce reprimanded Sun Quan, and on the other hand, in front of the surging generals, he said this.
After that day, he was no longer Sun Ce's mentor and friend, but was affectionately called his middle father by Sun Ce.
After recalling the two sentences that he always remembered in this life, Zhang Zhao's eyes couldn't help but fill with tears.
The world praised Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei's love of fish and water, but the world forgot that many years ago, in Jiangdong, there was also a touching relationship between father and son.
Whether it is a friend, an apprentice, or a son, Sun Ce has never failed him.
But what about him?
Before he came today, many people had advised him, but they did not understand why he insisted on coming today.
What he was going to do today was too dangerous.
Half of his feet fell into the loess, and there was really no need to do such an unwise thing.
yes, why?
Because of Sun Ce's two sentences!
For the man who is a confidant dies!
More because of his relationship with Sun Ce, teacher, friend, father and son!
When the memories of the past were over, Zhang Zhao stood outside the temple gate.
After coming to this place, Shi Yi stopped.
He knew what was going on, and Sun Quan didn't want anyone to know.
Shi Yi's pause reminded Zhang Zhao of Sun Quan's posthumous sealing of Sun Ce after he became emperor, which made Zhang Zhao let out a chuckle.
King Huan of Changsha?
Scold.
Zhang Zhao stretched out his hand as if no one was there, and wiped away the tears in his eyes.
After his face returned to his solemnity, Zhang Zhao strode into the hall without any communication.
The hall was deep, but it couldn't stop Zhang Zhao's firm footsteps.
After crossing a few doorposts, Zhang Zhao saw Sun Quan sitting on the throne.
At this time, in the main hall, there was no one else except Sun Quan and him.
And between Sun Quan and him, a seat was quietly placed.
Zhang Zhao knew that it was prepared for him by Sun Quan, so after bowing to Sun Quan on the throne, Zhang Zhao went straight to the seat and took a seat.
While taking his seat, Zhang Zhao also saw that there was a closed document on the imperial case in front of Sun Quan.
As for the content of that document, it is not difficult for Zhang Zhao to guess.
He is here today for the contents of that document.
After sitting down, Zhang Zhao kept looking at Sun Quan on the throne, and Sun Quan was also looking at Zhang Zhao with a scrutinizing gaze.
For Zhang Zhao, his emotions are complicated.
There is trustworthiness, suspicion, resentment, and dependence.
But no matter how complicated the feelings are, they can't hide the current identity position between him and Zhang Zhao.
He is a king, and Zhang Zhao is a minister!
"Why did Zhang Gong knock?"
Sun Quan's voice was cold, without the slightest emotion.
And hearing that Sun Quan was willing to call himself "Zhang Gong" today, the solemn look on Zhang Zhao's face was also eased.
"Today, the minister is here for the foundation of Great Wu Qianqiu."
Zhang Zhao's words rang loudly in the hall.
If an ordinary monarch hears this sentence from his subordinates, he will be very curious about this sentence.
But Sun Quan, who had already seen through everything, subconsciously let out a sneer.
"Oh?"
"If this is the case, Zhang Gong can also choose to write a book, instead of knocking on the que."
At this time, Sun Quan still wanted to give Zhang Zhao a chance.
But at the same time, Sun Quan's tone was also full of mockery.
The mockery in Sun Quan's tone was not concealed.
In the face of Sun Quan's mockery, Zhang Zhao didn't seem to hear it.
He just preached to himself:
"Isn't it a risk to the country that the society has been established, but the foundation of the country has not yet been determined?"
Is Zhang Zhao because he is old and faint and can't understand the meaning of his words?
This is absolutely impossible.
Seeing that Zhang Zhao didn't care about it and had to stab him face to face, Sun Quan's anger rose again.
Sun Quan didn't want to play dumb riddles with Zhang Zhao anymore, so he said directly:
"An edict will be issued in a few days, and the Marquis of Jianchang will be the crown prince of Great Wu."
The Jianchang Marquis in Sun Quan's mouth refers to Sun Wei.
Sun Quan originally wanted to use his attitude to tell Zhang Zhao that there was no room for maneuver in this matter.
But will Zhang Zhao give up so easily?
At the moment when Sun Quan's voice just fell, Zhang Zhao just
Decisively said:
"The minister thought that the Marquis of Jianchang was too young to worship the temple.
With the long, with the virtuous, Wu Hou should all stand!"
Sun Quan didn't want to continue to be false with Zhang Zhao, did Zhang Zhao want to?
In Sun Quan's incredulous gaze, Zhang Zhao said this sentence without hesitation.
And after hearing Zhang Zhao's words, Sun Quan couldn't help but slap the imperial case in front of him with his hand.
"Zhang Zhao, do you want to hear what you're talking about?
You are a minister, and I am a king.
What I have decided, but you directly oppose it, is this your way of being a minister?"
Sun Quan's face was hideous, and he felt that his monarchy was offended, and he no longer wanted to show "warmth" to Zhang Zhao.
After Sun Quan's angry rebuke reached Zhang Zhao's ears, Zhang Zhao didn't have a look of fear on his face at all.
In Sun Quan's heart, he will always be just a courtier, a courtier who should not disobey him.
It cannot be said that Sun Quan's idea is wrong.
But unfortunately, there is one person who thinks otherwise.
In his heart, he was his beloved father.
Zhang Zhao's ears seemed to echo with a hearty laugh:
"Father, I've taken the Huiji."
"Father Zhong, I have defeated Huang Zu!"
"Father Zhong, my next step is to surprise Xu Du......
The good memories came to an abrupt end, but the old man, who was called the middle father, gradually straightened his rickety body and stood up.
"Marquis Wu is the eldest son of His Majesty, and this is the same reason.
Wu Hou has studied with the children of major families since he was a child, and his virtuous name is widely spread, which is the second reason.
Wu Hou is nearly eighteen years old, almost an adult, and the country depends on Changjun, which is the third reason.
With these three reasons, the minister does not know why His Majesty would abandon the Marquis of Wu and choose to establish the Marquis of Jianchang.
Is it because Wu Hou is Wu Hou?"
At this moment, Zhang Zhao's words were full of power, his aura was full of aura, and he looked directly at Sun Quan, like a fierce beast that was dying but wanted to protect his heirs.
Zhang Zhao's sharp shout directly shocked Sun Quan.
It's not that he hasn't been asked like this by Zhang Zhao in the past, but it is obvious that Zhang Zhao's attitude today is more decisive than before.
And Zhang Zhao's loud questioning also succeeded in making Sun Quan angry.
Sun Quan subconsciously wanted people to pull Zhang Zhao out to correct the Fa on the spot, but considering Zhang Zhao's influence, Sun Quan, who still had a trace of sanity, still controlled himself.
Sun Quan didn't intend to answer Zhang Zhao's question head-on, he just sneered and said:
"My will has been sent to Shangshutai, and it won't be long before an official edict will be issued in Shangshutai."
Sun Quan knew how to fight politically, and he wanted to use his power as an emperor to forcefully appoint Sun Jian as the crown prince.
After saying this, Sun Quan still had a faint look of smugness on his face.
After all, he is a king, and Zhang Zhao is a minister.
But what Zhang Zhao said next made Sun Quan completely break his defense.
"Is it the Shangshutai in charge of Gu Yong?
But has Your Majesty forgotten that in addition to Gu Yong, four of the seven Shangshu books in Shangshutai were promoted by ministers.
Luling, Danyang, Huiji, Wujun.....
Of all the counties of the counties, at least one-third of the officials of more than 600 stone were from the courtiers' disciples.
Your Majesty, do you think that if Sun Shao becomes the prime minister, he will be the real prime minister?
After all, the minister has been in charge of the military and political affairs of Jiangdong for decades!"
What is confidence, this is confidence.
And what is a threat, this is also a threat!
He Zhang Zhao has lost to Sun Ce, and it is time to solve it today.
