"Liu Chan invited Gu to the palace for a banquet?"

In the back garden of the Marquis of Anle's mansion, Sun Quan was shocked when he learned that Liu Chan invited him to the palace for a banquet tomorrow.

Fu Jun, who was reporting to him next to him, said worriedly: "Wu Hou, will it be?" ”

Sun Quan stood under the porch, standing with his hands in his hands, frowning and looking at the flowers and plants in the courtyard, his face was very gloomy, and he fell into a tangled mood.

When people are doing great things, once something unexpected happens, it is easy to be weak-hearted.

Like Liu Bei in his early years, he was ordered by Liu Xie to engage in an edict with Dong Cheng and them to eradicate Cao Cao, but when Cao Cao invited him to cook wine in Sikong Mansion, he was frightened by the sentence "Do a good job at home".

Now that Sun Quan is plotting a rebellion, he has sent people to contact many Jiangdong families, how can he be relieved that Liu Chan suddenly invited him to a banquet at this juncture?

"No, it won't."

Sun Quan thought for a while, shook his head and said, "If Liu Chanzhen finds evidence that Gu is connected to the Jiangdong family, he will not invite Gu to the banquet, but directly send troops to arrest Gu." ”

Fu Jun pondered: "Then why did Liu Chan suddenly invite Wu Hou to the banquet?" In the past, Liu Bei occasionally invited Wu Hou, but Liu Chan had no friendship with Wu Hou. ”

"There are two possibilities, one is that Liu Chan saw Liu Bei's big victory on the front line, so he wanted to feast Gu and show off his strength, and he didn't mean anything else."

Sun Quan thought for a while, raised two fingers and said: "Second, it is that they have indeed discovered what Jiangdong is plotting, but Lone is in the name of Cao Pi, and they have been in one-line contact, and they have not gathered many people, they just suspect that Lone may be involved, so they want to test it." ”

Fu Jun said: "Why don't Wu Hou resign on the grounds of physical discomfort?" ”

Sun Quan immediately shook his head and said, "No, if you find an excuse to resign from this banquet, it is likely to backfire." They didn't have suspicions, but it made them feel suspicious, wouldn't it be a big deal? ”

Fu Jun said with a sad face: "How can it be good, if it is in the middle of the banquet, Liu Chan will test Wu Hou in words, how should Wu Hou deal with it at that time?" ”

Sun Quan frowned.

This is a serious problem.

When you're doing big things, if you're accidentally exposed, it's bad.

Taking advantage of the battle between Cao and Liu, he wanted to fight for the future.

But if you don't go, you will look very weak. People didn't suspect it at first, but he would make people suspicious.

So it's time to go or it's time to go.

It's just that when you get there, what kind of attitude you should take depends on the temporary response.

After pondering for a moment, Sun Quan said: "I still have to go to the banquet, but if Liu Chan is tempted by the time, I will find a way to deal with it." ”

"That's all there is to it."

Fu Jun sighed.

As a housekeeper, he is not qualified to be invited, and he has no way to help Sun Quan cover or anything.

At that moment, Sun Quan made up his mind and decided to improvise.

The next day, at the end of the morning eclipse.

Sun Quan walked out of the Anle Hou Mansion, got into the carriage, and slowly drove towards the palace.

The weather in Jingzhou has been gloomy these days, as if it is going to rain and snow, but it has not fallen, but the cold wind is howling, which is quite cold.

When the carriage stopped at the gate of the palace and Sun Quan got out of the car, a cold wind blew, rolling the dead leaves on the ground, making him shiver.

There were also more than a dozen carriages parked next to it, and some people came down, and when those people saw Sun Quan, they were surprised for a while, and they wanted to stop talking.

One of them hesitated for a moment, but still stepped forward and arched his hand: "Wu Anlehou." ”

Sun Quan turned his head and saw Zhang Zhao, his lips squirmed, but finally nodded, did not speak, and went straight into the palace under the leadership of the palace attendants.

The Jiangdong Shi clan now has a more divided attitude towards Liu Bei's group, some are willing to submit, such as Zhuge Jin, Lu Xun, Gu Yong, etc., and some are unwilling to submit, such as Zhang Zhao, Hu Zong, Yan Jian and so on.

Liu Bei was more tolerant, and he didn't criticize those who were unwilling to submit too much, just to prevent them from making trouble in Jiangdong, most of them moved to Xiangyang to raise, which can be regarded as a thousand gold to buy horse bones, expressing his forgiveness to the enemy's monarchs and ministers.

Today, Liu Chan held a banquet, not only invited Sun Quan, but also Zhang Zhao, Hu Zong, Yan Jian and others came, and more than a dozen Jiangdong ministers were also testing whether they were plotting for Sun Quan.

The crowd entered the hall.

Under the guidance of the attendants, they all sat down on the seats below.

After a while, Liu Chan, Zhuge Liang, Laimin and more than ten people came in, and Sun Quan and others hurriedly got up and saluted.

"Prince."

"An Lehou doesn't need to be polite."

Liu Chan smiled and returned the salute and said, "Sit down." ”

Sun Quan said, "Prince Xie." ”

As he spoke, he sat down.

And they sat down in separate columns.

The old ministers of Jiangdong sat on one side, and Zhuge Liang, Laimin and others sat on the other side.

After everyone sat down, Sun Quan said again: "I don't know what happened to the prince's banquet and ministers?" ”

Liu Chan smiled at Sun Quan and said, "Can't you invite An Lehou to a banquet if you have nothing to do?" ”

"Naturally not, naturally not."

Sun Quan hurriedly said, "The ministers just feel honored. ”

Liu Chan said: "My father fought in the north, and I also felt honored as an heir, so in order to celebrate this event, I invited An Lehou to dance and feast together. ”

"Bang bang."

Yin Mo, the prince's servant next to him, clapped his hands.

Immediately, there was a maid in the inner hall holding a tray and walking to the center of the hall, and then put the food, melons and fruits on everyone's table.

After the maids had retired, singers and musicians entered the hall and began to play vocal music.

The dignitaries of the Han Dynasty were very particular about banquets, because the ancient magnates themselves had no other fun to find, and every day in addition to the sound of dogs and horses, it was singing, dancing, drinking and feasting.

Many emperors and magnates have short lives, which is often related to excessive indulgence.

Liu Bei himself likes to play music and dance, as the glorious tradition of the old Liu family, Liu Chan naturally inherited this, likes dogs and horses and beautiful clothes, and often teases cats and dogs with the Shen brothers in the back garden.

It's just that now it is the first time for Liu Chan to sit in the main seat to participate in a large-scale singing and dancing banquet like this, and he used to look at it at most, and he didn't even have the opportunity to watch it.

Now for the first time I saw a beautiful young lady who wore a lot of clothes and little clothes, Liu Chan smiled at that time.

I almost drooled.

Halfway through the banquet, Liu Chan suddenly heard a cold snort like a silver bell from behind.

He suddenly felt a pang in his heart, and he was busy making a serious expression, scanning left and right, and found that everyone was enjoying the dance music, and no one noticed his gaffe, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

It was only at this time that Liu Chan remembered what was going on and looked at the old ministers of Jiangdong.

I saw Sun Quan smiling and clapping from time to time. And the old Jiangdong ministers such as Zhang Zhao, Hu Zong, and Yan Jian next to him were embarrassed and depressed.

Obviously, Sun Quan was very happy to see the song and dance, and he didn't feel that there was anything wrong because this was Jingzhou's song and dance.

After a while, the song and dance were finally finished, and a new group of beautiful young ladies came in, they were wearing the singing and dancing costumes of Jiangdong Wudi, and the music sounded, it turned out to be Wu Yue tune, and the beautiful sound spread throughout the hall.

The dancers danced the Wu dance, and the soft and glutinous song suddenly brought many old Jiangdong ministers back to their hometown of Wudi, thinking of the fish and rice in their hometown, and suddenly wept secretly.

Only Sun Quan smiled, laughed freely, and did not have the slightest hatred of losing the country, and in the face of the music and singing and dancing of his hometown, there was only joy and no sadness.

When Liu Chan saw this situation, he whispered to the prince next to him, Ling Laimin, "Lai Lingshi, what do you think of Sun Quan?" ”

Lai Min frowned and said: "Sun Quan seems to only know pleasure, and people are ruthless, and even that!" Even if Zhou Yu and Lu Su didn't die, they wouldn't be able to support such a lord of Jiangdong for a long time. ”

"Hmm."

Liu Chan nodded slowly.

The song and dance continued.

After a while, the song ended, and the singers withdrew.

Only then did Liu Chan look at Sun Quan below and said, "An Lehou, do you think about Wu?" ”

Sun Quan said with a smile: "I am happy here, I don't think about Wu." ”

"Hmm."

Liu Chan did not doubt him, and felt that Sun Quan had indeed stopped missing Jiangdong.

It seems that he was not the mastermind behind the rebellion in Koto.

It's just that the old ministers of Jiangdong saw Sun Quan like this, and they were all sad and very sad.

After a while, Sun Quan drank too much, so he got up and left the table to go to the toilet.

Zhang Zhao hurriedly followed out, and in the corridor, caught up with Sun Quan, and secretly said to him: "Wu Hou." ”

Sun Quan turned his head to look at Zhang Zhao and said, "Zibu Gong, what's the matter?" ”

Zhang Zhao said: "How can Wu Hou say that he doesn't miss Wu Di? If we say that we miss Wu Di, maybe we may be able to go back. ”

Sun Quan looked left and right, and saw that there was no one around, so he could only smile bitterly: "Zibugong, now we are already prisoners, if you say that you miss Wu Di, I am afraid that they will be suspicious, how dare I." ”

Zhang Zhao thought for a while and said, "I heard that Liu Chan has always been kind-hearted, and his ears are soft. If he asked Wu Hou again if he missed Wu Di, Wu Hou cried and said that there was no day when he didn't miss Jiangdong, so maybe he would soften his heart and let Wu Hou go back? ”

"Really?"

Sun Quan's face changed slightly, he felt that this kind of thing was probably unlikely, Liu Bei didn't even dare to put a general like Ma Chao who had already returned to Liangzhou, let alone the old master of Jiangdong who was already a prisoner like him.

Zhang Zhao sighed and said, "Although it may not be big, Wu Hou may be able to try." What's more, even if it doesn't work, Wu Hou shirks it because Wu Hou is the minister. ”

Sun Quan's face changed, and after a while, he nodded and said, "Okay, I wrote it down, if Liu Chan asks again, I will answer like this." ”

Let's go to the bathroom.

On the way, Sun Quan has been thinking about whether there is a problem today.

He understood that this might be a temptation for him, so he kept wanting to pretend to be crazy and stupid, trying to deceive Liu Chan.

From just now to now, Sun Quan has not had any emotional performance at all about the singing and dancing music of Jingzhou and Jiangdong, just to make Liu Chan think that he doesn't miss Jiangdong at all.

But suddenly I thought that Zhuge Liang had been staring at him, and such an obvious deception might not be able to hide from him, so I realized it afterwards and felt that he might have suffered.

However, Zhang Zhao chased him out, but it made him have other ideas.

After going back, if Liu Chan asked again, he would say according to Zhang Zhao's meaning, and when the time came, they would definitely think that Zhang Zhao had taught him, and maybe they could get away with it.

At that moment, Sun Quan firmly remembered what Zhang Zhao said, and soon returned to the banquet and continued to drink.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, everyone was a little drunk, and Liu Chancai asked Sun Quan again: "Do you want to go back to Wudi to have a look?" ”

Sun Quan's face suddenly became sad, and he bowed down and said: "Prince, there is not a day when the minister does not miss Wu Di, if the prince has mercy, let us go back to Wu Di to see, the prince's kindness, I will not forget it." ”

It's just that he said this, but there was not much sadness on his face, even if he tried his best to pretend to be sad, he didn't even shed a tear, which seemed a little fake.

Seeing this, Lai Min next to him glanced at Zhang Zhao not far away, and asked, "How can An Lehou's words be the same as those of Mr. Zhang Zibu?" ”

Sun Quan was taken aback when he heard this, and hurriedly looked around and said, "Lai Gong said it well, it was Zibu Gong who taught me to say this." ”

For a while, Liu Chan Laimin and the others laughed, and when the old ministers of Jiangdong next to them saw Sun Quan's embarrassed and stupid appearance, they all hated Sun Quan, and secretly clenched their fists, full of hatred for him.

Jiangdong Tiger Sun Wentai and Jiangdong Little Overlord Sun Bofu are all famous heroes, how can there be such a weak and incompetent son and brother as Sun Quan?

Soon after the banquet ended, Sun Quan was sent back to the Anle Hou Mansion in a carriage.

Liu Chan and the others returned to the side hall, there was a touch of incense wafting through the side hall, and there was a figure peeping behind the side curtain, and there seemed to be a knife in the eyes.

"Somehow, it seems to be a little cold."

Liu Chan didn't know that his naïve attitude when he was enjoying the song and dance just now was noticed by the crown princess, and after sitting back on the throne of the side hall, he smiled at Zhuge Liang and said: "Prime Minister, it seems that Sun Quan is not the mastermind behind the Jiangdong rebellion. ”

"yes."

Lai Min also said with a smile: "Sun Quan is so ugly, how can he be the person who connected the Jiangdong rebellion and many families?" ”

"If it were him, it would be impossible not to ask Zhang Zhao and other old ministers for help, but looking at Zhang Zhao's appearance, and teaching Sun Quan to miss Wu Di, where is this what it looks like to help Sun Quan connect with the Jiangdong rebel family?"

"That is, Your Majesty and the crown prince are benevolent, and if you change someone else, when you hear Sun Quan say that you miss Wu Di, I am afraid that you have already killed him."

"Do you think this is Sun Quan's cover-up? Deliberately pretending not to think about it? ”

"It's possible, but it doesn't seem like he's fake. If this is the case, the prince asked him just now if he wanted to go back to Wudi, if he really wanted to go back, he should be more sincere, maybe the prince should go down. ”

Yin Mo, Fei Yi, Dong Yun, Huo Yi and others also expressed their opinions.

They all felt that Sun Quan didn't seem to really miss Wu Di, which showed that Sun Quan was not a rebel in tandem with the Jiangdong family, and these things were probably done by others.

"Prime Minister, what do you think?"

Liu Chan felt that everyone's gain was very reasonable, and nodded thoughtfully, but he still had to ask Zhuge Liang's opinion on this matter, so he turned his head and asked him: "The prime minister should also think that Sun Quan did not do this matter." ”

"Nope."

Zhuge Liang didn't say a word from the banquet to the present, and it seemed that he only enjoyed singing, dancing and drinking the banquet throughout the whole process, but he kept staring at Sun Quan's movements, he looked around at everyone and said in a deep voice: "This matter is what Sun Quan did!" And he should have heard the temptation today, and it was up to him to see if he would wake up. ”
