Chapter 137: Collapse

"If you have no objections, then the matter of Hutian will be decided in this way."

Pu Yangxing's face was full of smiles, and he looked at the many officials around him.

This is the court of the state of Wu.

Emperor Sun Xiu sat on the top seat and said nothing, as if what was happening below had nothing to do with him.

And the ministers who had exchanged opinions with Zhang Bu in advance had no opinions at the moment, as long as they didn't toss them, those low-level untouchables could toss them casually.

What's more, Zhang Budu promised that after the construction of Hutian, he could share some meat to eat, so let's repair it!

At this moment, as a general, Zuo Da Sima's achievements are a little unbearable.

Shi Ji, an official, has already reached the highest level that Wu can bestow on officials.

That's a lot higher than the average general.

It has reached the point where it cannot be sealed.

Although Shi Ji's official position is extremely high, in fact, he does not have much power in the temple.

The main reason is that Shi Ji does not have his own power in the DPRK and China, and he does not have many supporters, so he is weak and cannot have much influence on many policies of the temple.

In history, Shi Ji also became a transparent person in the temple with the largest official position.

Shi Ji looked at Pu Yangxing angrily, and then looked at the indifferent ministers around him.

"No!!"

Shi Ji interrupted Pu Yangxing with his mouth.

Pu Yangxing was not surprised at all.

He smiled and asked, "What does the general think?" ”

Shi Ji said unhappily: "How much trouble did it cause because of this Hutian incident in the first place?" The rebellion in Jiaozhou, the thieves from all over the country have finally been pacified, do you want to continue now? ”

"The old man will never agree!"

Lu Kang wrote a lot of letters to the DPRK, hoping to contact a group of people to oppose it.

It's a pity that in the end, Lu Kang was only able to contact those soldiers in the army.

Whether it is Shi Ji or Lu Kang, their influence is more in the locality, among the soldiers, and in the temple, their voices are not loud enough.

Shi Ji, Wei Miao, Ding Feng and several others followed Lu Kang to jointly write a letter, hoping to stop the construction of Hutian.

Most of the rest of the civil and military ministers agreed.

Sun Xiu looked at the angry old general, but slowly closed his eyes.

Pu Yangxing let out a long sigh, "General, if it stops at this moment, what will happen to the original consumption?" ”

"I don't know the original cost, but now that we have just experienced a big war, it should be the time for the people to recuperate, and you have to rebuild the lake field at this moment, won't the next cost be as good as in the past?"

If it is about fighting a war or a strategic vision, Pu Yangxing is definitely not an opponent of performance, but if it is about nonsense and verbal debate, then Puyang Xing is not afraid of performance.

He immediately retorted: "There must be a lot of cost to continue to operate, but after completion, you can get benefits, and this benefit is enough to make up for the past costs, if you stop now, then the previous costs can no longer be compensated!" ”

"Don't we all know the reason for recuperation? But the general did not hold Jingnan and Jiaozhou, so that a large number of people lost their farmland and shelter, they are now displaced, the general let them recuperate, where should they go to recuperate?! ”

"Do you want to go to Cao Thief's rule to cultivate?"

Pu Yangxing suddenly became righteous at this moment, and he said: "You have not seen the previous letter of Zhong Hui, how rude Zhong Hui is to us, humiliating our king, and humiliating the ministers to death!" ”

"This matter of Hutian, if it hadn't been for the invasion of Cao Thief, would have been completed at this moment, and great results could have been achieved! Cao thief ruined our affairs, and he will use this to mock! Is this tolerable? ”

Pu Yangxing's speed of speech was extremely fast, and he basically didn't give Shi Ji a chance to refute.

He said again: "General, since it is said that you want to recuperate, then this lake field cannot be delayed. ”

"Wouldn't it be nice if we could get people who are displaced, who have no place to live, who have no way to make ends meet, who are displaced and who have no place to live, who have no way to make ends meet, and who are allowed to work here?"

Under Pu Yangxing's sophistry, Shi Ji didn't know how to speak.

Zhang Bu walked out at this moment and said seriously: "General, don't worry, I will keep an eye on this matter, if there is anything wrong, I will definitely stop!" ”

Shi Ji looked at the emperor and stopped talking, but did not object.

The court decided on the construction of Hutian, but as soon as the court meeting ended, Shi Ji hurriedly found Emperor Sun Xiu.

Sun Xiu has a lot of respect for Shi Ji, this old general has shown great resilience in the face of Wei, at his age, it is really not easy to do this.

Sun Xiu followed him into the inner hall, and as soon as he sat down, Shi Ji couldn't help but say: "Your Majesty, the minister is not good at talking, but this matter is really difficult to handle." ”

Looking at the old general who was sitting still, Sun Xiu took his hand and said gently: "Don't panic, general, and tell me what you think." ”

Shi Ji hesitated for a long time, and suddenly said: "The minister thinks that Your Majesty has fallen for the plan of the Zhong Hui!" ”

Sun Xiu's hand paused, and then asked, "What is the strategy?" ”

"It's the simplest way to agitate!"

"Your Majesty, Zhong Hui's letter is to provoke you to build a lake! Your Majesty may not know that General Lu also received a letter from Zhong Hui, and Zhong Hui informed General Lu of his strategy, and General Lu informed his ministers. ”

"The minister knows the wisdom of His Majesty! Therefore, I dare not conceal it, Your Majesty, Jiangdong has just experienced a big war, ten rooms and nine empty, the people are tired, the cultivated land is barren, and the situation is grim. ”

"Your Majesty may not know that in Jingnan, Jiaozhou and other places, there are people fleeing under Cao Wei's rule, because Cao Wei has exempted the local taxes, returned food, and distributed cultivated land, and we can't suppress it!"

"Originally, General Lu and the old ministers wanted to pay for the thin Fu lightly, just to stabilize these people, but now if the temple wants to rebuild the lake field, more people will definitely flee to the Wei State!"

Shi Ji's face was full of bitterness, "The old minister didn't dare to say such a thing in the court, for fear that it would cause a commotion, but Your Majesty must think carefully!" ”

Sun Xiu was really surprised at the moment, and he asked in disbelief: "The people actually fled to the rule of Cao Thief??" ”

"Cao thief, this is buying people's hearts"

Shi Ji looked at Sun Xiu with blank eyes, but Sun Xiu suddenly asked at this moment: "Why don't I know about this letter between General Lu and Zhong Hui?" He told the general about it, why didn't he tell me? ”

Shi Ji also explained this, "General Lu said that it was because Zhong Hui was disrespectful to His Majesty in the letter, and he was a minister, so he didn't dare to hand over the letter to you, so he destroyed it, and specially told me that he hoped that the old minister could tell His Majesty about this matter in private."

"Then why didn't he tell it in private?"

Shi Ji was a little dazed, he didn't know why his emperor wanted to bother with this matter.

Aren't we talking about Koda?

Perhaps noticing Shi Ji's blank eyes, Sun Xiu cleared his throat and smiled again, "General, I already know these things you said. ”

"Please don't worry, I'll be careful."

Shi Ji breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, as long as the top and bottom work together, no matter how strong Cao Thief is, he will definitely not be our opponent!"

Shi Ji has witnessed too many bastards in these days, and he is almost a little desperate for Wu Guo, and the one who can maintain Shi Ji's belief is the current emperor Sun Xiu.

Sun Xiu respected him very much and gave himself the highest official position.

and reused a capable person like Lu Kang, who is also very smart and can listen to advice.

There are also a lot of talented people in Jiangdong, and there is hope to continue to stick to it!

Shi Ji said goodbye to Sun Xiu and returned to the mansion.

Now Shi Ji has handed over all his town guard areas to Lu Kang and Ding Feng, and the two of them divided Jingnan and Jiaozhou equally, and confronted the Wei people respectively.

Shi Ji is responsible for the security of the homeland, that is, Jiangdong and other places, Jiangdong is actually not peaceful, there are barbarians around it, and there are rebellions from time to time.

After returning to the mansion, Shi Ji continued to get busy.

Shi Ji trained the army in the construction industry, crusaded against traitors inside and outside, promoted outstanding young people, and inspired meritorious soldiers, and he could do a lot of things.

And now, Shi Ji is emulating the system of Wei and implementing a new drill system at home.

That is, Malone's set of assessment methods, which rewards and punishes through equal assessments in his spare time.

Shi Ji also specially hired some shipwrights, hoping that they could help design and build new large ships to maintain their superiority over the Wei army in the navy.

Just as Shi Ji summoned the shipwrights from all over the country to listen to their advice and see who could be funded, his nephew hurried into the house.

"Uncle!! The temple has officially given an order!! ”

Shi Ji was stunned for a moment, and then asked the shipwrights to wait next door first, and then hurriedly asked, "What do you say?" Has Your Majesty changed your mind? ”

Looking at the expectant uncle in front of him, his nephew also became a little hesitant at the moment.

"My uncle's temple ordered that the lake field should be officially built, and no one should write against it"

Hearing these words, the light in Shi Ji's eyes seemed to dim in an instant.

He sat in silence for a long time, not saying a word.

Shi Fang looked at him worriedly and said, "Uncle, don't worry, maybe things won't be so bad." ”

Shi Ji still didn't reply.

There was a strange silence in the study, and after a long time, Shi Fang asked again: "Uncle, do you want to call those shipwrights in?" ”

Shi Ji looked at him, and the old general's eyes were full of cloudiness.

"No need, let them go back."

He slowly put away the things in front of him, stood up tremblingly, and walked to the bedroom.

"Alas"
