- Chapter 194 Dragon Travels the World
Cao Rui hesitated for a while. He looked Sun Shao up and down, but Sun Shao just smiled enigmatically. Cao Rui wanted to ask him, are the kings of Cao Zhang and Cao Zhi the same as their existing four kings? If this is the case, then the Cao family will inevitably have trouble fighting for legitimacy in the future. If these three newly crowned kings are slightly lower than the existing four kings, that will be good.
However, he could not ask.
The emperor thought for a moment and understood the meaning. He smiled slightly and said, "I invite you to come here today to discuss this matter. The title of king is a major matter and should not be trivial. You don't have to rush to reply. You can think about it first. It won¡¯t be too late to discuss it in a few days.¡±
Cao Rui breathed a sigh of relief, and for fear of being interrupted by Sun Shao, he quickly bowed and said, "Your Majesty is wise."
Sun Shao is indispensable, and Liu Chan feels that it has nothing to do with him. He is just a pity. It is a pity that a general like Li Yan will not come back. He was the assistant minister left to him by his father.
"Since you are so generous, I have issued an edict to prepare a master craftsman. As soon as the three thousand gold from your ministers arrives, work will start immediately." The emperor glanced at Cao Rui with a smile, and said intentionally or unintentionally: "By the way, Sun Qing, Should the Wu Kingdom follow the same routine?"
Sun Shaoyi shrugged: "This is your Majesty's business, I don't need to say anything."
"Then I can issue an edict to the King of Wu." The emperor sighed: "Well, speaking of which, the King of Wu is still a few years younger than me, why is his body so weak? Sirs, I am really worried about him. He became the crown prince, but Sun Ba is young after all, and if something happens, he may not be able to hold on."
Sun Shao made no comment and pretended not to hear anything. When the emperor saw him, he didn't say anything more and started talking and laughing about other topics.
¡¡
Cao Rui returned to Prince Wei's residence and immediately summoned Liu Fang and Sun Zi who were accompanying him. He told them what had just happened. In front of these two confidants, he did not hide anything and expressed his concerns directly. .
Liu Fang, courtesy name Ziqi, was born in Zhuojun County, and is currently the Supervisor of the Central Secretary. Sun Zi, courtesy name Yanlong, was born in Taiyuan, and is currently the Secretary of the Central Secretariat. The two of them had just been granted the title of Marquis of Guannei. In the Wei State, where military exploits were the most important thing, this was not the case. Common. They handle confidential matters for Cao Rui and are well-deserved confidants.
Liu Fang listened quietly to Cao Rui's worries and hesitated for a while. This matter involved the Cao family's royal family. It was not a simple state affair, and it would be difficult to handle. After being with Cao Rui for a long time, he had heard some rumors that Cao Zhi and Cao Rui's mother-in-law, Zhen, had some unexplainable relationship. It didn't matter whether it was true or not. He had seen a lot of the filth of the royal family. What were the details? When it comes to this matter, he can only believe that it is true, not that it is not true. If this thing really happens, if he says something unfavorable to Cao Zhi and it reaches the ears of the Queen Mother in the future, wouldn't he be in trouble?
Seeing that Liu Fang remained silent, Sun Zi said directly, "I think it's inappropriate."
Cao Rui glanced at him calmly, picked up the teacup, blew on it gently, and asked in a relaxed tone: "Why?"
"If they are all crowned kings and equal to the king, then when we meet in the future, wouldn't the king have to salute them?" Sun Zi said slowly: "We are all kings, and their seniority is still high. It should be higher. If there is any dispute, who will listen? Moreover, General Ziwen has a bold personality and likes to meddle in other people's affairs. What if he interferes in Wei's affairs? "
Cao Rui frowned slightly and had a headache. In view of Cao Zhi's original fight for the throne, Cao Rui had always been very strict with the clan, and Cao Cao had many sons. Most of them had different opinions on Cao Cao passing the throne of Wei King to Cao Rui. When Cao Cao was alive, they did not dare to say anything. After Cao Cao passed away , but they gradually spread some voices of injustice. In the past, they did not dare to express their dignity to their faces, but if Cao Zhang and Cao Zhi were also crowned kings, they would have two more choices. If something happened to run away, where would Cao Rui's face be?
Seeing that Cao Rui was in trouble, Liu Fang also made up his mind and agreed: "I think Yanlong's proposal is a good one. The uncles and nephews of the Sun family are examples. Although they are both surnamed Sun, Sun Shao didn't just snatch it from Sun Quan." South China Sea? During this four-nation coalition's westward expedition, both Wei and Shu benefited from it, but Wu did not benefit at all. Tens of thousands of people were eaten by Sun Shao in one bite, without even a sound. If the two generals also weighed The king, and the king who is equal to the king, may not be a good thing for the Cao family."
Seeing that the two confidants were in agreement, Cao Rui also nodded: "But this is a letter from the King of Yue. If I object, won't it be difficult for future cooperation?"
Liu Fang shook his head: "I think that the King of Yue may not want these three people to become the same kingdom as Wei, Shu, Wu and Yue."
"oh?"
"The King of Yue's western expedition, due to his own strength, although he won the wave ofSi, but had to divide the ministers into enfeoffments, and non-Yue forces accounted for a large proportion. The King of Yue deliberately arranged for Prince Sun Feng to sit in Taixi and seal the city. His intention was very clear. He wanted to use the power of the armies to gradually conquer the Western Yi. Sun Feng was just a Yue prince. He might be able to command a few marquises, but could he still command the king? Liu Fang smiled confidently: "This is just a tactic used by the King of Yue to try to catch him." "
Cao Rui suddenly realized and laughed dumbly. He paused for a moment: "Then how can we give him a step down?"
"Let's talk to him about cooperation." Sun Zi rushed to say: "He wants to march eastward, and Liaodong must be the front line. Wei can become his ally again."
Cao Rui nodded repeatedly.
¡¡
Yang Xiu quickly walked into Chengguang Palace. The emperor and the prince were sitting face to face. As soon as he saw Yang Xiu, the prince quickly stood up and stood behind the emperor. The emperor pointed to the seat where the prince originally sat: "Yang Qing, sit down!"
Yang Xiu quickly shook his head: "I dare not sit on the throne of the heir."
"It doesn't matter." The emperor chuckled: "I want to trouble you with something today."
"Your Majesty, please speak frankly. I will not give up even if I die."
"It's not that serious, but this matter is not a trivial matter." The emperor stood up and took two steps back. The smile on his face gradually turned heavy. He stood at the door of the palace and looked at the brilliant scene outside. Yangguang was silent for a moment, and suddenly said sadly: "In total, Mr. Yang has been gone for fourteen years."
"Thirteen years, four months and eleven days." Yang Xiu said without thinking.
The emperor turned his head and glanced at Yang Xiu, and nodded: "Do you now know why Mr. Yang must send you to Yue as an official?"
Yang Xiu nodded silently: "I understand, and I am willing to do my best for Your Majesty."
"I'm very relieved." The emperor let out a long breath: "Although I have gone through many hardships, I have remained standing. It is because of gentlemen like Yang Gong and his son. Emperor Guangwu awarded Fuqi Festival two hundred years. It is the foundation of our country. Dezu, Yang Gong worked hard to assist me and died. Not only that, he also considered more for me. You followed the king of Yue on the western expedition, and you have a good understanding of the affairs of the country of Yue. Now It¡¯s time to return to the court to assist me.¡±
"I have been waiting for this day for two years." Yang Xiu choked with sobs.
"Okay, okay." The emperor nodded with emotion, very satisfied with Yang Xiu's loyalty. Nowadays, most people are willing to go to the Yue Kingdom to serve as officials. Very few people who go to the Yue Kingdom are willing to return to the court in Luoyang, because except for one status, the court's strength in all aspects is not as good as that of the Yue Kingdom. Most of the Northern Army who followed Cao Zhang on the expedition stayed in Persia. Only Xun Yun returned to Luoyang with some officers. The emperor was very grateful and immediately made Xun Yun a doctor, and all the officers were promoted.
"Dezu, your most important task now is to teach my prince well." The emperor patted Yang Xiu gently on the back, "I have little talent and weak moral character. I have struggled all my life and barely managed to save a little bit of my ancestor's inheritance. I no longer have the ability to restore the glory I had back then. Now I am walking on thin ice, trembling with fear, for fear that if one person mishandles me, I will fall into a place of catastrophe. Now that I am old, even though I have all kinds of ambitions, I have no time to fight. I can only place my will on It¡¯s about future generations. Although the prince is not a smart person, he is quite loyal. Dezu, you must teach him well.¡±
"Iwill not give up even if I die." Yang Xiu knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly.
"Get up, get up." The emperor bent down, helped Yang Xiu up, let him sit on the banquet, and then ordered the prince to come forward and pay homage. Yang Xiu didn't dare to accept it, but for the sake of his dignity as a teacher, he still accepted the gift and gave a few serious instructions before avoiding the table and returning the gift to the prince.
After all the etiquette was completed, the prince started to ask according to the rules: "Excuse me, sir, what is the biggest difficulty for me as a big man right now?"
Yang Xiu stroked his short beard under his chin and looked at the respectful prince in front of him. He was silent for a while and then said: "The gap between His Royal Highness and the Yue Prince Sun Feng is too big."
The prince was stunned. This answer was obviously beyond his expectation. He turned around and looked at the emperor for help. The emperor was also a little stunned, but he quickly reacted: "So, the danger of the big man is not the king of Yue, but the king of Yue." Prince?"
"It can be said that." Yang Xiu said slowly: "I have been with the King of Yue for several years, and I have carefully observed the King of Yue. I know that although he has great talents and strategies, which are rare in the world, for a big man, he has some loyalty that is difficult for ordinary people to understand." He glanced at the emperor and said, "Although he is not humble enough for His Majesty, his love and care for the big man is difficult for anyone to surpass."
The emperor blinked his eyes, thought for a while, nodded and smiled: "Yes, the reason why my great man's fire is still immortal is related to his loyalty."A big relationship. There was Duke Cao in front of him and the King of Yue behind him. If it were not for the protection of King Yue, I am afraid that the Han Dynasty would have ceased to exist long ago. I still vividly remember the scene where he forced everyone to break chopsticks and swear an oath on the East China Sea. "
"Your Majesty's words make sense." Yang Xiu breathed a sigh of relief and continued: "The King of Yue was unruly and unruly, but he never thought about overthrowing the Han Dynasty. He would rather travel thousands of miles to Persia to conquer than start a fight in the Han Dynasty. To start a war. In fact, the reason why he arranged for Cao Zhang, Cao Zhi, Li Yan and others to be kings in Persia was for the same purpose."
If the emperor realizes something, he can't help but nod.
"I dare to say that the Han Dynasty will not fall in the lifetime of the King of Yue, but what about after the King of Yue?" Yang Xiu said worriedly: "The Prince of Yue, Sun Feng, is only twenty years old and has already made such military exploits. Although the King of Yue has It has been decided to let him sit in the west and seal the city. In the next twenty or thirty years, he may devote himself to conquering the western barbarians and have no time to visit the east. However, I am worried that if the expedition goes too smoothly or does not go well, he will decide Turn your attention back to China, then I¡¯m afraid¡¡±
The emperor's eyes widened and he couldn't help but take a breath. He heard the meaning of Yang Xiu's words. As long as Sun Shao is alive, the Han Dynasty will have no worries. Twenty or thirty years later, Sun Shao will also be old, and Sun Feng will inherit the Yue Kingdom. If his conquest in Persia goes smoothly, he may have already collected that large piece of land in his pocket in twenty or thirty years. , the strength is unimaginable, and if the conquest does not go well, he may retreat to the next best thing and return to the Han Dynasty to seek development, then no one can be his opponent.
By that time, the survival of the Han Dynasty may be just a thought of Sun Feng. If Sun Shao doesn't care about the Han Dynasty, how can he know whether he will become King Wen of Zhou?
Twenty or thirty years later, the prince will face Sun Feng. Whether the Han Dynasty can survive depends entirely on the comparison of strength and wisdom between the prince and Sun Feng. Judging from the current situation, if the prince can maintain the territory he currently has, it will be a great victory, not to mention other things.
The emperor was frightened, but also mixed with a sense of loss. Is there no hope for the big man? Even with the help of talents like Yang Xiu, is ZTE just a vague dream?
Yang Xiu stared at the emperor intently. He watched the emperor's expression change from shock to frustration, and then from depression to pain. He remained silent. He knew that the emperor still had some unrealistic ideas. If these ideas were not broken first, he was worried that the emperor would do something stupid. He had been with Sun Shao for two or three years and was well aware of the strength of the Yue Kingdom. If Sun Shao had not had a belief that he would call "loyalty" for now, I am afraid that the big man would have become a thing of the past. In fact, he didn't completely believe in Sun Shao, but besides trusting Sun Shao, what else could he do? Although he was conceited and talented, he had no confidence at all that he could compete with Sun Shao and could only place his hope on Sun Shao's conscience.
He set his sights on twenty or thirty years later. He did not dare to hope that he could teach the prince to be stronger than Sun Feng. However, he hoped to do his best to teach the prince to become an emperor who knew how to advance and retreat. He did not seek merit, but As long as there are no faults, being able to keep the current territory is the greatest victory.
¡¡
The following time became very pleasant for Sun Shao. Cao Rui took the initiative to express goodwill to him and hoped to strengthen cooperation with him. The emperor was also very polite to him. He gave him a small banquet every three days and a big banquet every five days. He also asked the prince to take the initiative to make peace with him. Sun Feng was approaching, but Liu Chan didn't do much. Apart from often coming to chat with Sun Feng about irrelevant gossip, he almost never got involved in state affairs. It wasn't until two months later that Shi Ma Su, the prime minister of Shu, arrived at night. Luoyang, only then began to negotiate related cooperation matters. Ma Su brought Zhuge Liang's opinions and strongly agreed with Li Yan's decision to make him king. At the same time, he suggested that the next Eastern Expedition should include the Kingdom of Shu. He even chose the general, Ma Youchang.
Sun Shao agreed one by one, and the specific details were left to Sun Feng to handle.
The negotiations dragged on until another New Year. Those soldiers who had already established fiefdoms in Persia began to gather with their families. Sun Shao arranged for large ships in Chengdu, Yuzhang, Qingzhou, and Qiantang to pick them up. Taking advantage of the north wind, They went south one after another and rushed to Temu City to gather. In February, Sun Shao and his son said goodbye to the emperor and rushed to Temu City.
In April, the flags of Dishi Port were fluttering, and more than 300 large ships crowded Dishi Port. Sun Feng was about to leave Temu City with his huge fleet and set off for the Persian Gulf. He didn't know where he was going. It would take a year to look back. From the Queen Mother Bridge to Queen Guan Feng, she was reluctant to leave her, sending her off again and again. She could not persuade the accompanying Princess Zhang Yu and his wife Yang Huiyu no matter how hard they tried.
Only Sun Shao was calm, standing not far away and waiting quietly.
Sun Feng spent a long time and finally promised to come back every two years to see it. Only then did Daqiao and Guan Feng reluctantly let go.
Sun Feng carefully sent them off the boat, then he breathed a sigh of relief and rushed there.Next to Shao Shao, he bowed and said, "Father, my son is about to set off."
"Oh." Sun Shao, who had been looking at the distant view, responded. After a while, he turned his head and looked at Sun Feng and said, "Have a nice trip."
"Thank you, father." Sun Feng opened his mouth, as if he had something to say. Sun Shao saw it and smiled: "If you have anything to say, just ask directly."
Sun Feng smiled awkwardly and waved the people around him to leave. Only their father and son were left on the huge deck. He said softly: "I dare to ask my father, if the Romans know that Philip is not Alexander Son, what should I do?"
Sun Shao laughed silently. He put his hands behind his back and walked forward slowly. Sun Feng held his hands and followed suit. Neither of them spoke, and for a moment they could only hear footsteps echoing on the deck. Sun Shao slowly walked to the springboard, raised his hand, gently supported Sun Feng's back, and pushed him to the springboard. Sun Feng didn't understand what he meant, but he didn't dare to disobey. He hesitated and already had one foot. Stepped onto the springboard.
"Feng'er." Sun Shao suddenly spoke: "Do you know, the reason why I did not march into Rome immediately after taking Ctesiphon was not because Philip is your brother, but because with our current strength It is simply impossible to take Rome. Yes, we have the most powerful warships in the world, we have the best weapons in the world, and we have the most skilled warriors in the world, but you have to remember one thing, you may be able to conquer with force alone Barbarians like the Xianbei and the Xiongnu may be able to conquer countries like the Sassanid and the Kushan that were also founded by force, but they cannot conquer a huge country like Rome that has been established for hundreds of years. Remember, defeat does not mean conquering, it does not mean conquering. The defeat of the Greeks by the Romans is not the same as the conquest of Greece, and the defeat of Persia by Antipas is not the same as the conquest of Mesopotamia. The right to use force cannot be given up at any time, but if you think that force is omnipotent, , then you are not far from failure."
Sun Feng listened quietly. Sun Shao had already told him this truth many times. It seemed a bit redundant to talk about it again at this time. But he knew that Sun Shao said this solemnly not because the separation was imminent. A father could not endure it. It's as simple as saying a few more words to my son. He tasted Sun Shao's words carefully, and suddenly, he understood what Sun Shao meant.
Whether to attack Rome or not is not because of Philip, but whether the time has come to truly conquer Rome.
When Sun Shao saw Sun Feng's eyes lit up, he knew that he should have understood what he meant. He smiled, stretched out his hand to straighten Sun Feng's hair crown, which he had already worn very neatly, and gently stroked it as it was blown by the West Asian wind. Black face: "Only the strong can tolerate others. I believe you will not tolerate your brother. Just do it well. I believe you can make the most correct choice."
"Here." Sun Feng bowed in response, bowed twice more, and said in a low voice: "Father, take care, I'm leaving." After saying that, he took two steps back, lifted up his cloak, and walked briskly. , walking towards his ship.
Guan Feng walked to Sun Shao and looked eagerly at the sailboat with its sails raised. She couldn't help but shed tears again. Sun Shao looked back at her and smiled. He reached out and took Guan Feng's hand and squeezed it: "With such a good son, what else are you dissatisfied with? A good man has ambitions in all directions. You should be happy." .¡±
"But" Guan Feng wiped his red and swollen eyes and sobbed: "I don't know when I will come back now, how can I not miss you."
"He doesn't have time to come back, you just go."
"That's true. I also want to see what Rome looks like, what his Roman brother looks like, and what kind of hero among women the Roman Queen is"
Sun Shao rolled his eyes, subconsciously let go of Guan Feng's hand, turned around and shouted to his children standing far away: "Children, who wants to go on a long voyage like your elder brother, I will take you there ah."
"I'm going! I'm going!" A group of boys and girls, big and small, shouted in all directions. Five-year-old Sun Xiaoman, who was running like flying, jumped into Sun Shao's arms first and grabbed him. With a short beard under his chin, Sun Shao chuckled and said, "Father, I'm going to hunt polar bears! I'm going to America!"
"Father, I want to go too!" Sun Cheng, the second son of the seven-year-old son, bowed in a serious manner and said seriously.
"Go, everyone." Sun Shao laughed loudly, waved his hand, and said loudly and proudly: "Children, go and conquer¡ª¡ª"
"Oh¡ª¡ª" the girls and boys all shouted excitedly, "Let's conquer¡ª¡ª"
Xia Houhui glanced at Guan Feng, covered his mouth, and couldn't help laughing softly.
