Chapter 16: The Ministers of Eastern Wu

"Xiang'er, what do you want your mother to say about you? The big girl dances with guns and sticks all day long, showing her head, and she is in danger today, how is it, are you injured? ”

Wu Guotai originally wanted to train Sun Shangxiang severely, but when he heard that his daughter was at the assassin's assassination scene and helped Zhuge Liang subdue the perpetrator, his anger disappeared, and all that was left was to worry.

"Mother, Xiang'er is fine, she has public achievements to protect me, Xiang'er's skills are known to her mother, except for the eldest brother and second brother in Jiangdong, the rest are not my opponents."

Wu Guotai stretched out his right index finger and tapped on Sun Shangxiang's head and said, "You, you, that's everyone letting you, do you really think you are invincible in the world?" How dangerous is this time, Xiang'er, don't let your mother worry about you anymore, this is an ordinary family, and you don't know how many children you have. ”

Sun Shangxiang pouted, and said with disdain: "I'm the sister of Xiaobawang, mother, Xiang'er wants to be a heroine and a female general, how can she be stumped by her children's personal affairs?" Besides, unless there is another hero like my eldest brother in the world, Xiang'er would rather never marry for the rest of her life and stay by her mother's side. ”

"What nonsense, as a woman, you should teach your husband and children at home, and your mother told you to learn how to take care of your future husband, but you were spoiled by your two brothers, hey...... Your second brother has a mellow temperament and lets you everywhere, if your eldest brother is still here, you won't be what you are now. ”

"Mother~~ But tonight's daughter is not all for nothing, do you know? That Liu Bei's military advisor Zhuge Kongming looked soft and weak, but he was actually very powerful, before I and Gongji failed to win the killer, but he was killed by him in a few tricks without knowing how, which is really impressive. ”

"But Zhuge Jin's brother, the young man who is called Mr. Wolong?"

"Yes, yes, my mother has heard of it, too?"

"Naturally, I have heard that Langya Zhuge is a big family, but I didn't expect him Zhuge Kongming to be so skilled, it seems that you have to pay more attention to this time, by the way, Xiang'er, your second brother mentioned to me that Zhuge Kongming was assassinated in the official residence, and he will never allow this matter to happen twice, so he will take Kong Ming back to live in the mansion, you accompany your mother to take a look, and clean up a guest room."

"What? The second brother wants to take that Zhuge Kongming home to live? The lewd thief? ”

"What? Xiang'er, what did you say? ”

Sun Shangxiang covered his mouth in time, pretended to cough dryly, and said, "No...... It's nothing, mother, it's not too early, you can rest quickly, Xiang'er is also a little sleepy~"

"You, now you know that you are sleepy, and you don't look at the hour, forget it, I will let someone clean up the room, and you will live with your mother tonight."

"Okay, good~~ Xiang'er is going to sleep in her mother's bed tonight~~"

Facing his twenty-eight-year-old baby daughter, Wu Guotai really couldn't get angry, so he had to give up.

The next day, when Zhao Yi got up and finished the warm-up exercises and pushed open the door of the official residence, he found that there were actually soldiers standing outside, and Gan Ning, who was wearing a bird feather and a bell on his waist, was also waiting outside the door early in the morning, and a carriage was parked behind him.

"You woke up Mr. Kong Ming, did you sleep well last night?"

The corners of Zhao Yi's mouth pulled upward, revealing an extremely perfunctory smile and said: "Okay, okay, I've listened to the bell ring all night, General Gan, this hobby of yours is really chic." ”

Gan Ning was a little embarrassed by what he said, and raised his hand to stuff the bell hanging on his waist into his belt.

"Brother Kong Ming, please get in the car, I will take you to see my lord now, he specially set up a banquet, and invited many celebrities from my Jiangdong to pick up the wind and wash the dust for you."

The curtain on the carriage window was lifted, and Lu Su showed a head and waved at Zhao Yi.

Zhao Yi lifted his robe and got into the carriage, making eye contact with Lu Su, everything was silent.

The carriage was guarded by soldiers all the way to the center and drove into Sun Quan's mansion.

The carriage stopped, Lu Su got off first, Zhao Yi was wearing Zhuge Liang's outfit, holding a feather fan, with a smile on his face that seemed to see through everything.

Although he knew that this route was not very useful at all, the habits of special operations for many years had been deeply rooted in the bone marrow, and even if he crossed for a while, he could not change it.

"Mr. Kong Ming, please."

Under the guidance of Lu Su, Zhao Yi walked into the main hall, and the place where he knelt was full of people.

Of course, these people are not kneeling for him, but in this era, high tables and high chairs have not yet been invented, and everyone kneels on low couches, and a small low table is placed in front of each person, on which exquisite food and tea are placed.

Zhao Yi glanced at it, the position at the top that should have belonged to Sun Quan was empty, and the development of things to this point was not different from the battle of tongue that he knew, as long as he said according to the bridge in his memory and Zhuge Liang's words, there should be no problem, after all, Sun Quan is still biased towards alliances, and his main opponent is this room of civil officials.

Zhao Yi, that is, Kong Ming at this moment, folded his hands and saluted to the people in the main hall, and only then did he recognize the Eastern Wu civil officials present with the help of Lu Su.

Of course, the first person Lu Su wanted to introduce was also a heavyweight civil official in Eastern Wu, Sun Ce confessed to his younger brother before his death that "Zhou Yu is not decided on foreign affairs, and Zhang Zhao is asked if he is not decided on internal affairs".

It can also be said that the reason why Sun Quan was able to gain a firm foothold in Jiangdong is mostly due to Zhang Zhao, this old man is a good hand in internal affairs, but he is relatively conservative in thinking, and because of his conservatism, Sun Quan was estranged from him for a time after he became emperor, and he did not participate in any political affairs in his later years.

Next is Yu Turn, this can be regarded as an old minister of Eastern Wu, who followed Sun Ce when he was just starting out, he was originally a subordinate of Wang Lang, and later defected to Sun Ce, proficient in easy to learn mathematics, and good at spears, which can be described as an all-rounder in civil and military affairs.

A young man named Bu Xiao who sat after Yu Flip, the Bu family can also be regarded as a wealthy family in Jiangdong, he is a person who is extremely close to Sun Quan, and his sister Bu Trainer also married Sun Quan and became a concubine, and he is also the most favored concubine of the Emperor of Wu, and the status of the Bu family has also risen.

After introducing these three, Lu Su also introduced Xue Zong, Lu Ji, Gu Yong, Yan Yan and others in turn.

Of course, Zhao Yi knew in his heart that what Lu Su focused on for him was what he needed to convince today, as long as these people were taken down, the civilian clique of Eastern Wu, or the surrender faction of Eastern Wu, would be self-defeating.

Zhao Yi also knows that although he is replacing Zhuge Liang today to fight the Confucianism, in the final analysis, Liu Bei he represents is the weak side, and it is not a skill to have the upper hand in words.

So when Lu Su introduced everyone present to him, Zhao Yi's etiquette couldn't find any fault, as the saying goes, don't hit a smiling person, and Zhao Yi is a person who loves to laugh.

"It's really better to see than to hear, Jiangdong is really outstanding, General Sun can have your assistance, it's really fortunate~"

After Zhao Yi recognized the appearance of several people, he first put on a high hat for everyone, and also set the tone for today's debate, telling everyone present that he came to talk about cooperation and alliance, and there was no contradiction between the two families of Sun and Liu.

Zhang Zhao, who was sitting at the top of the civil service, nodded slightly, and his arrogant appearance was the same as what Zhao Yi thought in his heart.

"It turns out that under the feet is Zhuge Kongming, who is called Wolong by Mr. Shuijing, and when I see it today, I don't have three heads and six arms, and I are undoubtedly ordinary people."

As soon as Zhang Zhao's words came out, the smile on Lu Su's face froze.

Zhao Yi didn't care, knowing that Zhang Zhao had already entered the state and began to make trouble.

He was not angry but happy, smiled and saluted Zhang Zhao again: "Thank you Zhang Gong for the compliment, I deserve it." ”

Zhang Zhao was obviously stunned by Zhao Yixie, "Where did you hear that the old man was praising you?" ”

Zhao Yi smiled, learned from Zhuge Liang's death, did not answer immediately, but shook the feather fan a few times in an unfathomable manner, and then said: "Zhang Gong also said just now, Liang is the same as you, there is no doubt that he is an ordinary person, but how can Zhang Gong be an ordinary person?"

I think that when the little overlord of the Sun family raised his army, Zhang Gong was an official to the long history, and the general of the Fu army, and he had to ask Zhang Gong about civil and military affairs, and when the little overlord was dying, he entrusted the current Wu lord to Zhang Gong, and the sentence "ask Zhou Yu if you don't decide on foreign affairs, and ask Zhang Zhao if you don't decide on internal affairs" has been famous all over the world, what kind of trust is this? ”
