"What is your order, Your Majesty?" Huang Gai took a step forward and said with his fists in hand. + "Send someone to secretly monitor Zhou Yu's every move. Before I make up my mind, I will never let him leave the capital." "Promise!" Huang Gai responded, turned around and left. Subsequently, Sun Quan left the Hanlin Academy with Zhang Zhao, Cheng Pu, Han Dang, and Zu Mao and went straight back to the palace. As night fell, the palace of Wu State was silent. Sun Quan sat quietly in the imperial study, patiently waiting for the arrival of someone. In less than a quarter of an hour, the eunuch came in and said to Sun Quan respectfully: "Your Majesty, the Governor Zhou Yu is outside asking for an audience." , No one is allowed to come in, anyone who disobeys the order will be killed!" Sun Quan put down the book he was reading and said slowly. After the eunuch went out, the chief governor Zhou Yu stepped in, raised his hands towards Sun Quan and said: "Zhou Gongjin has met the king." "Gongjin, please sit down quickly!" Sun Quan hurriedly and enthusiastically showed Zhou Yu his seat, and waited for Zhou Yu to sit down. After getting off, he sat down next to Zhou Yu without any airs about Wang Gui. Zhou Yu has been named a Hou by Sun Ce. In addition, he holds military power. Although he can be said to be on an equal footing with Sun Quan, according to etiquette, when Hou meets the king, he is still a lower level. So when Zhou Yu saw Sun Quan sitting down, he immediately stood up and said, "How dare Zhou Yu be on an equal footing with the king?" Sun Quan smiled and said, "You are His Majesty's best friend, and His Majesty can be on an equal footing with you, why can't I? If you don't want me to sit down, do you want me to kneel down?" "I don't dare, that's not what I meant. It's just that things are different now and then." Zhou Yu had already asked the Queen Mother. The result obtained is no different from what Sun Quan said. However, he was still worried, so he went to see Taifu Gu Yong, and got the same answer from Gu Yong. Only then did he realize that he had wronged Zhou Yu. "This time and that time? In my opinion. It's still the same. You are still the unique governor of our country of Wu, the mainstay of our country of Wu, and your majesty's military deputy. Although your majesty is crazy, no matter what, You are still an indispensable arm to my Sun family, Gongjin, sit down!" Zhou Yu didn't want to refuse again, so he sat down obediently. But. In his heart, the Song King in front of him was already the actual emperor. Although he has not officially ascended the throne, if Sun Ce fails to wake up one day, then only Sun Quan will be in power in the entire country. But he had no friendship with Sun Quan, so how could he dare to be so presumptuous in front of the future emperor? "Brother Gongjin, please allow me to call you this. You and His Majesty are the same age, and we are sworn brothers, so please allow me to serve him as a brother." "This" "Brother Gongjin didn't agree, is it because he dislikes Zhong "Isn't it enough?" "No, no, no. Zhou Yu has no intention of doing so, but" "Brother Gongjin, your majesty has been suffering from heart failure for three years. I visited famous doctors but could not cure His Majesty. I followed my mother's request and took over the political affairs temporarily, but I knew that my talent was far inferior to that of Brother Gong Jin, who was both talented and beautiful. He is a great man in the Wu Kingdom. Brother Gongjin and Your Majesty are good brothers who are sworn brothers. If Brother Gongjin is willing, our Sun family is willing to give up the throne and let Brother Gongjin succeed him. , to ensure the eternal foundation of our Kingdom of Wu" After Zhou Yu heard Sun Quan's words, he suddenly frowned and didn't say a word for a long time. Sun Quan stared at Zhou Yu carefully, but he was gambling in his heart. He secretly thought: "Zhou Gongjin is thoughtful, frowning, but saying nothing. Is he really ambitious?" "The King of Song is really smart. With just one word, he can kill people invisible. This plan It's really a wonderful use, I'm afraid if I don't say anything, the knife and axemen hiding in the imperial study will immediately rush out and chop me into pieces" Zhou Yu thought secretly in his heart. "What do you think, brother Gong Jin?" Sun Quan asked hurriedly when Zhou Yu didn't answer. Zhou Yu stood up, then knelt on the ground, kowtowed to Sun Quan and said: "Gong Jin is deeply favored by the emperor, how dare he do such a treacherous and unethical thing. The King of Song is kind and has the ability to recognize people. Since your majesty has gained and lost, "If you are crazy, let the King of Song take over the throne. Gong Jin will definitely treat the King of Song like his Majesty." "However, I am not very talented and knowledgeable, so I am afraid that it will be difficult for me to take on such a big responsibility" "Your Majesty and I are brothers. Your Majesty's country, Gong Jin." Even if you die, you must fight to protect him. If the King of Song wants Gong Jin to die, then I will just crash into this pillar. Why push me to the top of that unkindness? As the saying goes, no one is perfect, but the King of Song can't. RecruitmentScholars, as long as they know how to use them well, the King of Song can be a wise king. " "Brother Gong Jin means" "At this time, the country cannot be without a king for a day. Gong Jin is willing to support the King of Song as the emperor. In this life, Gong Jin will defend the Kingdom of Wu and the King of Song to the death. " Sun Quan achieved his goal, and he smiled knowingly in his heart. However, his face did not show it. "However, if I become emperor, what will your majesty do? "Sun Quan continued to ask. Zhou Yu thought for a while and said slowly: "The matter has come to this, and there is nothing we can do. However, I hope that the king can endure for another two years. Your majesty is well-known and the Chinese nation does not know this fact. If it is known that your majesty has become insane and the king takes over the throne, I am afraid that he will take advantage of it. Nowadays, with the strength of our country, we are no match for the Huaxia Kingdom. Once the Huaxia Kingdom breaks out and openly attacks Soochow, our army will be unable to stop it for a while. Therefore, I think it would be better if the king proclaims himself emperor a few years later to buy more time, and then let the men of the country actively prepare for war. In a few years, we might still be able to fight against China. Sun Quan said: "Do we have to fight the Huaxia Kingdom?" Is there no other way? As it is now, the alliance between the two countries is a blessing to the people of the world. If the war breaks out, I am afraid that the people of the world will suffer again. " "At the end of the Han Dynasty, the world was in chaos, and then there were many princes. Lin Nan slaughtered the heroes one by one. Now the Huaxia Kingdom occupies 89% of the world. For the Huaxia Kingdom, unification is imperative. King. If you were the emperor of China, would you be willing to see places in the southeast corner that are not under your jurisdiction? "After Zhou Yu heard this, he couldn't help being a little angry. Sun Quan was indeed not Sun Ce. Sun Ce was brave and decisive, but Sun Quan was a bit indecisive. Sun Quan also knew that the country was conquered by his father and brother. Both his father and brother were men with superior force and fought on the battlefield. He is even more careless, but he has never been on the battlefield. He was raised in a greenhouse since he was a child. He will be a little scared even when he sees a chicken, let alone a dead person. However, he also has his strengths, that is, he is a homely person. Kind. He knows people well and knows how to use the strengths of others to make up for his own shortcomings. If he does this, he is qualified to be an emperor. If it were a peaceful and prosperous time, maybe he would become a very accomplished emperor. It is a pity. Yes, we are in troubled times. In troubled times, there are laws of troubled times, and his behavior and state of mind are a bit too childish. "But I heard that many people will die in the war, and the dead people may make the country of Wu miserable." All the people were heartbroken. The death of one person brings endless pain to the family. The war is really" Zhou Yu hurriedly interrupted Sun Quan. Although he did not have the force of Sun Ce, his character was courageous. Besides, after experiencing such a long war, he had already become accustomed to it. So. He He said loudly: "Your Majesty has never been on the battlefield or experienced a war, and I know it very well. Your Majesty should know that it is recorded in historical records that the Qin family destroyed Chu. That motto spoken by the people of Chu, right? " "Are you saying that even though Chu has three households, if Qin is destroyed, it will be Chu? "Sun Quan was familiar with historical records and said it instantly. "Exactly, the ancients were able to do this, so why can't we imitate the ancients? Now the state of Huaxia is equivalent to the state of Qin, and our state of Wu is equivalent to the state of Chu. I believe that as long as the people of Wu State deeply understand the truth of this sentence, they will definitely be able to fight against Huaxia State. What's more, although the Huaxia Kingdom is known as a million-strong army, the water network in the south is densely covered. If you want to conquer the Wu Kingdom, you must be familiar with water warfare. There are ships in the south and horses in the north. Even though Huaxia has millions of troops, the ministers are not afraid. As long as we try to defeat the navy that China has always relied on, China will not be able to cross the natural dangers of the Yangtze River! ¡± Sun Quan felt excited when he heard Zhou Yu¡¯s impassioned words, but a trace of worry still appeared on his face, because he had heard that the navy of China was far more powerful than that of Wu. Moreover, the Huaxia Kingdom also has a very powerful weapon. It is precisely with this weapon that the Huaxia Kingdom's army is invincible and invincible. It is a pity that the Wu Kingdom has not been able to study what kind of weapon it is. Zhou Yu's eyes were sharp and he saw that Sun Quan was not confident enough, because if Huaxia really wanted to launch a war to destroy Wu, he would not need any excuse. Therefore, Zhou Yu had been worried. The Chinese Congress went to war without declaring the war against Wu. In that case, for a practical leader who was not ready for the war, it might directly lead to the failure of the war. He did not dare to act too hastily, and saw Sun Quan's inner doubts. , immediately clasped his fists and said: "Your Majesty, I dare to ask Your Majesty to go hunting with me tomorrow after paying homage to the late king. At that time, I have a gift to give to Your Majesty. With this gift, Your Majesty will no longer have to be afraid of the Huaxia Kingdom. After hearing this, Sun Quan was very interested and asked: "Can't you take it out and take a look now?" "It must be tomorrow. It's already late at night. I won't disturb the king anymore. I'll take my leave!" After saying that, Zhou Yu turned around and left. He left the palace and didn't go back to the post house. He went to the Hanlin Academy, the prison where Sun Ce was imprisoned outside the city. Zhou Yu sat next to the prison where Sun Ce was imprisoned. Seeing Sun Ce inside picking up the food on the ground and eating it happily, his heart felt like a thorn. "Your Majesty, if Your Majesty had been willing to listen to me and insisted on taking Wuling City instead of exchanging Wuling City for Yizhou and Zhuyazhou, which were isolated overseas, maybe Your Majesty would not have become like this. All the sins are due to Lin Nan alone. , It was his eloquent words that persuaded Your Majesty. Sooner or later, I will come to settle the score with him. Your Majesty, although King Song can take over the throne, his character is not strong enough. If there is a war with China, I am afraid that the surrender faction in the court will. To confuse the King of Song, once the King of Song surrenders, the Kingdom of Wu will be completely finished. Therefore, I am prepared to take risks tomorrow and ask the King of Song to keep His Majesty's determination and perseverance in mind. Your Majesty, please forgive me if the King of Song is hurt. What I did, I did this for the sake of the Kingdom of Wu" Zhou Yu was sitting there, and Sun Ce was strange to say. He didn't make any fuss or fuss. He just listened quietly to Zhou Yu's words, with a look in his eyes. A trace of strange light disappeared in an instant. Just after his eyes met with Zhou Yu's, he hurriedly lowered his head. The fluffy long hair covered Sun Ce's entire face, and a wet liquid slowly slid down Sun Ce's cheek. However, Zhou Yu couldn't see this subtle difference, and other people felt it even more. Less than. Sun Ce turned around and lay down on the ground, with his back to Zhou Yu, but with a burning gaze in his hair, he thought secretly in his heart: "Gong Jin, do what you want, I can't I blame you. Please forgive me for deceiving you and deceiving everyone" Hot blood was flowing in Sun Ce's body. In two and a half years, he deceived everyone. In fact, he had recovered from his heart failure two and a half years ago, but he still felt guilty about his beloved wife and could not let go of it. For two and a half years, he has been pretending to be crazy silently, but during this time, he also thought about many things. He thought of his father Sun Jian's last words, and everything Lin Nan once said to him. Slowly, his heart became broader than before. However, he did not figure out the last thing. This thing had troubled him for a long time. As soon as he figured it out, he could go out. Perhaps, the world will also come to a successful conclusion after he figures this matter out. At the third watch of the day, Zhou Yu left. Sun Ce looked at Zhou Yu's retreating back, feeling a little melancholy in his heart. After Zhou Yu completely left, Sun Ce stood up, with his hands behind his back. He had completely returned to normal, and shouted to a young general guarding the prison: "Gongli." The young general named Gongli was Sun Shao. , eight feet tall, with a handsome face, his real name is Yu. During the expedition against Yizhou, he repeatedly performed extraordinary feats and was favored by Sun Ce. Sun Ce happened to have no children, so he adopted him as his adopted son and gave him the surname Sun. After Sun Ce went crazy, Sun Shao volunteered to come and take care of him. Firstly, he took care of Sun Ce's food and daily life. Secondly, his martial prowess was recognized by Sun Ce, so he could subdue the crazy Sun Ce when necessary.
