After Yan Xiang was imprisoned, no one dared to oppose Yuan Shu.

He directly sent the army to forcibly recruit the people, and built the Temple of Heaven day and night, many people were directly exhausted and frozen to death, and hundreds of people were miserable, but no one could stop Yuan Shu's madness.

And at such a cost, the Temple of Heaven was finally built on the eve of the enthronement ceremony.

The next day, Yuan Shu officially ascended the throne as emperor in Shou County, and worshiped the heavens in the northern and southern suburbs.

Received the jade seal of the country, set the country name as "Cheng", the year name "Zhongjia", and widely placed hundreds of officials and announced the world.

For a time, Kyushu shook.

……

Juchao County is located in the land of Jianghuai.

It is also one of the important towns in Yangzhou.

Juchao is known for its abundant products and abundant land, even in Yangzhou, it can also be called the "land of fish and rice".

At this time, outside a mansion in Juchao County.

A carriage came to a slow stop.

Then an elegant-looking scribe jumped out of the carriage, ignored the butler who had come to greet him, and hurried into the palace.

"Gong Jin! Gong Jin——! ”

The elegant scribe shouted as he ran, looking anxious.

And in a quiet courtyard in the depths of the mansion, a handsome man who was reading a book in the courtyard raised his eyes slightly after hearing a voice from afar.

"Xiaoqing, go prepare some tea."

The handsome man said to the beautiful maid who served beside him.

The maid looked at the man's face, her pretty face was slightly red, and she responded softly, and said gently, "Yes, Zhou Lang."

With that, he got up and returned to the house, and the handsome man once again set his eyes on the book in his hand.

After a while, someone broke the silence in the courtyard.

"Gongjin ——!"

The Confucian scribe broke into the courtyard, and when he saw the man who was reading, he couldn't help but say, "When is it, why do you still have time to read here?" ”

"Something is wrong!"

This handsome man, surnamed Zhou Mingyu, is Gongjin.

He is the current county magistrate of Juchao.

Hearing the words of the Confucian scribe, Zhou Yu put down the book in his hand and said with a smile: "So anxious, let's sit down and have a cup of tea first." ”

At this time, the maid Xiaoqing brought over the prepared tea and made a cup of tea for each of them.

"I don't have time for tea! You don't know what's going on! ”

The Confucian scribe sighed and said in a deep voice: "Just yesterday, Yuan Shu worshipped the heavens in Shou County and officially ascended the throne and became the emperor!" ”

He thought that this news would surprise Zhou Yu.

But who knew that Zhou Yu's face remained unchanged after hearing this, and he took a sip of tea unhurriedly, with a calm face.

"I know."

The Confucian scribe was stunned: "What? When did you know? ”

This news had just come over, and he had just knew, how could Zhou Yu know it earlier than him?

Zhou Yu smiled and said: "Yuan Shu is so happy, he is very ambitious but short-sighted, from the day he got the jade seal of the country, I expected that he would one day become the emperor." ”

"What's more, in recent months, Shou County has forcibly recruited people to build the Temple of Heaven, which has confirmed my speculation."

He hadn't received any news, but he had expected it.

That's why it's no surprise that Yuan Shu is called emperor.

The Confucian scribe was silent for a long time when he heard this, and then he said with some resentment: "Since you have guessed, why have you never told me?" Didn't you treat me as a friend? ”

"No, no, no."

Zhou Yu put down the teacup, shook his head and sighed: "I just didn't expect that Zijing, you couldn't guess this, to be honest, it was quite unexpected." ”

This Confucian scribe, surnamed Lu Mingsu, was his friend.

"Huh."

Lu Supi didn't smile, raised his eyebrows, and then rolled up the big sleeves of his wide robe, revealing his arms with huge muscles.

"If Gong Jin can't speak well, I also know a little bit about fists and kicks."

Zhou Yu's face changed, and he immediately said sincerely: "Zijing, we are all scholars, our fists and feet are too vulgar, we have something to say." ”

He knew Lu Su's martial arts, and under the elegant appearance of a scholar, he had a good martial arts, which was not worse than that of an ordinary centurion.

He can't beat it anyway.

"Hmph."

Lu Su glanced at Zhou Yu, but he didn't really want to do it.

After some gags, the two finally got down to business.

Lu Su took a sip of tea, and then asked directly: "What do you think about Yuan Shu's claim to be emperor?" ”

Zhou Yu said lightly: "How is Yuan Shu compared to King Wen?" How is the Yuan family compared to the Ji family? At that time, the Ji family accounted for two of the world, and he was still serving Yin Shang; Yuan Shu only occupies one Yangzhou, but dares to call himself the emperor, which is really ridiculous. ”

Although Zhou Yu's words were concise and to the point, Lu Su also understood, he was taking the relationship between the Zhou royal family and Yin Shang as an example, and couldn't help nodding in agreement, his thoughts were the same as Zhou Yu's.

"Although the Han family is declining today, the Son of Heaven is not brutal and immoral, and Yuan Shu dares to usurp the emperor, which is really stupid."

"If he does so, he will become an enemy of all the princes."

Not to mention whether Yuan Shu has unified Kyushu, even if it is unified, it needs to be justified to be the emperor, and it is not enough to rely on the jade seal of the country.

Zhou Yu didn't care, and said: "This matter is not something we should care about, for the sake of today, let's think of a way out, the nest is not a place to stay for a long time." ”

"What are Zijing's plans?"

He is now the magistrate of Juchao County, and he can be regarded as working under Yuan Shu.

Now that Yuan Shu is the emperor, he will inevitably become the enemy of the people of the world in the future, and it would be unwise for him to continue to stay here.

"Me?"

Lu Su was stunned by this question, frowned and thought for a while, before shaking his head and saying, "Don't hide it from Gongjin, I don't know where to go now." ”

His home is in Juchao, if today's turmoil is up, where can he go without Juchao? More importantly, although he has ambitions, he doesn't know where to go.

Zhou Yu smiled: "Since this is the case, why don't you go to Jiangdong with me and defect to Sun Ce?" With the talent of Zijing, he will be able to shine. ”

"Koto? Sun Ce? ”

Hearing this, Lu Su couldn't help but look up at Zhou Yu, with a look of surprise on his face, "You mean that little overlord Sun Ce?" Gong Jin actually met him? ”

Who doesn't know the name of the little overlord Sun Ce now?

It was the first time he knew that Zhou Yu and Sun Ce knew each other.

Zhou Yu smiled and said: "It's not just acquaintance, I went to his house to worship my mother, and I call each other brothers, and I have a close personal relationship." ”

"At the beginning, Yuan Shu wanted to keep me to serve in Shouchun, but I came to Juchao, also because this place is not far from Huiji and can go over at any time."

Lu Su was shocked when he heard this.

Worshipping one's mother in the hall is a very solemn etiquette, which represents the good relationship between the two families and also represents the recognition of godparents.

All in all, the relationship between the two families is not trivial!

And Zhou Yu came to Juchao to take up his post, and he actually had a plan, wanting to abandon Yuan Shu and vote for Sun Ce!
