Chapter 2790: Up and down, left and right, and nowhere to reach the front and back
Some things are too clear, and they are a kind of pain.
The issues discussed by the two Zhangs in Jiangdong are actually being discussed between Sun Quan and Zhou Yu.
After learning that Zhou Yu's condition was getting worse, Sun Quan became much silent and could hear Zhou Yu's words more.
This time, Sun Quan specially brought a fur and came to give it to Zhou Yu.
"Thank you, lord." Zhou Yu was not very polite and spread the fur sent by Sun Quan and spread it on his legs.
Although Zhou Yu is not old now, he looks like an old man now.
The long-term cough made Zhou Yu's body become thinner and thinner.
The lungs, whether in traditional Chinese medicine theory or Western medicine anatomy, are the most important organs of human beings. Although they are not like the heart or brain, they will be unable to escape death if they are slightly damaged, once there is a problem with the lungs, it may be more painful than the illness of other organs.
If a heart problem occurs, it may be fatal in a few minutes, or dozens of minutes, and the same is true in most other parts. However, lung diseases, especially chronic or hidden dangers, are generally very good at dragging, dragging a strong man into a skeleton, dragging a young man into a white hair and growing old...
Just like most naughty children, they only understand their hard work when their parents are in danger. Only when they face losses can they realize the preciousness of their possession.
Only then did Sun Quan truly understand that Zhou Yu was not trying to harm him, but that he truly trusted Zhou Yu completely.
That's right, Sun Quan trusted Zhou Yu only when he realized that Zhou Yu was about to die.
Otherwise, Sun Quan had always suspected that Zhou Yu wanted to steal his house...
People with lung disease usually need to rest. Just like some elderly people, if they are good, they can't live for two more years, but if they encounter something, they will leave. But the problem is that Zhou Yu is difficult to calm down...
『This kind of fur...』 Zhou Yu touched the leather on his knees, 『The workmanship is good, I guess it was from Chang'an... The lord doesn't have to spend so much money...』
The leather making technology in the Han Dynasty was relatively rough.
Most ordinary skins are very hard and even taste very choking.
Only the fur produced in Chang'an is not only softer than ordinary leather, but also does not have a choking smell, so it naturally became a thing that the children of the gentry have sought after.
Although Jiangdong cannot be considered very cold, many children of the gentry still have one or two furs, waiting for Jiangdong to occasionally wear it for a day or two, and they will wear it out and sway it. They basically hold an idea that others have it anyway, so I naturally cannot do without it.
Therefore, overall, this type of fur is also popular and expensive.
"How much can such things outside the body be worth?" Sun Quan sighed, "If you can relieve the governor's illness a little, what's the harm that even if you are a daughter?"
Zhou Yu smiled.
The sun shines down and falls on Zhou Yu's somewhat white sideburns.
"Doctors in Jiangdong are all waste!" Sun Quan suddenly said with some resentment, "Don't worry, Governor! I have sent someone to Chang'an, so I will definitely invite famous doctors to come to extend my life and increase my life!"
Zhou Yu smiled and coughed lightly, his voice weak, "Thank you lord. Life and death are destined, so you don't have to be demanding."
Zhou Yu's voice was very weak. Due to lung disease, Zhou Yu's central energy became increasingly insufficient. He could no longer speak loudly like before, and even maintained a normal volume. It was a bit difficult to do. He could only speak softly and slowly, otherwise it would cause a cough...
『Compared to my illness, my lord should pay more attention to this...』 Zhou Yu patted the fur on his knees, 『Jiangdong nowadays, the properties all depend on the outside... This is a big taboo...』
Jiangdong is not as good as later generations at the moment, and he cannot shout any slogans of economic and national economy. Whether it is agriculture or handicrafts, Jiangdong in the Han Dynasty was relatively poor. This situation was not greatly reversed until the Jin Dynasty moved south.
Not only doctors, but also handicraft products are actually dependent on the outside, which is undoubtedly a big obstacle to the development of Jiangdong.
Sun Quan nodded, "What the governor said is very much. I discussed with the eastern part of the country and opened another 100,000 mu of military farming, but the method of military farming is a long-term strategy, but the effect is slower... As for Liu Xuande, Jiaozhou, commerce is booming now, and it is not enough to use it..."
Although you walk along the coastline from Jiangdong to Jiaozhi, it does not mean that everything will go smoothly. Even if you are on the road, there is no problem on the boat, and you can only walk back and forth in a year. Otherwise, it will be a bit difficult for current navigation technology to face the monsoon and face the wind.
With the limitations of shipbuilding technology, the number of sea and road trade cannot catch up with the land.
The current trade situation in Jiangdong may also be an important reason why the slag is angry at sea in history.
Zhou Yu nodded, "It's better for the lord to discuss this matter with Er Zhang... But there is one thing, the lord should make an idea early..."
Sun Quan asked: "What's the matter?"
Zhou Yu coughed a few times, then paused for a while, and said, "Jiangdong... cough cough, the key to Jiangdong is not the danger of mountains and rivers... it is the solidity of people's hearts. If people are protected, even if millions of soldiers arrive, they will not be able to shake them. If they are not able to get it, even thousands of cavalry will be defeated. Although Wuling's rebellion is important, it is not the urgent need of the lord at the moment..."
Sun Quan sat upright, bowed his hands and politely, "I wish to hear the details."
I hope to hear these four words carefully. Sun Quan has said this to Zhou Yu more than once, or others. However, when Sun Quan said it before, he often took it lightly or was perfunctory, but now...
Sun Quan's attitude was very good, but Zhou Yu did not say anything immediately. Instead, he raised his head and his eyes were a little wandering. He didn't know whether he was looking at the sky or thinking about something. After a while, Zhou Yu coughed twice before saying, "Lord... do you know what destiny is?"
"Destiny?" Sun Quan was stunned.
Perhaps Zhou Yu was also sighing in his heart about the issue of destiny, or perhaps some other thoughts. Anyway, as soon as these two words were released, Sun Quan couldn't help but ponder.
Zhou Yu nodded slowly, as if he wanted to say something, but it caused another cough.
Sun Quan stepped forward and helped Zhou Yu get angry while asking someone to bring in some water.
I was a little panicked for a moment, but luckily after a while, Zhou Yu's cough gradually stopped, and then he drank some decoctions and lay half tired.
The servant retreated.
Sun Quan looked at Zhou Yu, feeling helpless and sad.
Sometimes, the word "destiny" is like a heavy stone, pressing on your heart.
As we all know, in the traditional Chinese politics of ancient China, "Destiny" is the most important foundation of a regime.
As the top figure of the Jiangdong ruling class, although Sun Quan was not the top figure in wisdom, after all, his butt determines his head, and in power techniques, he also forced him to become a top figure. And he did this in history, and he had been fighting politically with the children of the Jiangdong gentry all his life.
Zhou Yu's words were like a sharp knife, breaking through many fogs at once, making the situation in Jiangdong a lot clearer.
That’s right, the problem in Jiangdong is actually these two words, “destiny”.
After Emperor Wu of Han respected Confucianism alone, the theory of destiny based on Dong Zhongshu's response to heaven and man became the most orthodox ruling theory in the three or four hundred years of the Han Dynasty. This theory provided a very good rule standard and divided the ruling class, "The emperor was ordered by heaven, and the world was ordered by the emperor."
Everyone knows that the emperor of the Han Dynasty no longer looks like a emperor, so does this "destiny" mean that it has begun to transfer?
Anyway, God will not change. Since heaven and earth will not change, it is only the one who follows the "destiny of heaven" to change.
Perhaps no one dared to say this problem a few years ago, but now there seems to be no taboos in the situation of three-legged tyrants.
"The fate of heaven is nothing more than the second..." Zhou Yu said slowly, "One is Yu Xia, the other is Tang Wu... lord, have you ever thought about it?"
"Yu Xia...Tang Wu..." Sun Quan murmured. For some reason, his heartbeats a little faster, as if it was a loud sound, like a war drum on the battlefield of thousands of years, ringing in his heart.
For the Han Dynasty, or for many people in Jiangdong, "The rise of Yu Xia" and "The King of Tangwu" are the two most important routes in the so-called "orthodox destiny".
Not only for the Han Dynasty, but almost all subsequent feudal dynasties changed dynasties, it was nothing more than following the "Yu Xia Rise" model of peaceful abdication of the three dynasties of Yao, Shun and Yu, or following the "King of Tang and Zhou Wu" model of Shang Tang and Zhou Wu, the model of violently overthrowing the previous generation of "King of Tang and Wu". In terms of the "legality" of the inheritance of the imperial career of the feudal dynasty, these two paths are the so-called "right path".
Therefore, the so-called destiny of the dynasty is actually a complete set of political correctness that the new dynasty is "the rise of Yu Xia" and "King of Tang and Wu" is formed around the two regimes, which is used to illustrate that the new dynasty is "the virtue of the same as the heavens, and the relevant public opinion operation system, discuss the legitimacy of the new dynasty and strive for the political recognition of the new dynasty by the majority of ministers.
The problem in Jiangdong is here.
Because there was neither the rise of Yu Xia nor the "King of Tang and Wu" in Jiangdong...
Jiangdong is so pitiful now.
God's will is never too high.
How do mortals know the will of heaven?
This requires another model or system to explain.
The interpretation system established by Guangwu of the Eastern Han Dynasty was prophecies and divination. Prophecies and divination were actually assumed that some sages could predict the will of heaven, so they recorded them in the form of prophecies for future generations to master and use. After Guangwu, prophecies and divination were extremely popular and were included in the public opinion operation system of destiny, becoming an important basis for the Eastern Han Dynasty's discussion of the orthodox nature of the dynasty, and it has always been popular in the Shandong classical system.
"Those who replace Han Dynasty should be the one who should Tu Gao?" Sun Quan said.
Zhou Yu closed his eyes and nodded slowly.
Among the Three Kingdoms in history, this sentence is undoubtedly a huge fuse, igniting more than one big thunder.
However, this also reflects the innate shortcomings of Jiangdong.
Although Zhou Yu was ill, he was still worried about Jiangdong. Other problems in Jiangdong can be ignored. The most important thing is that it is not justified.
Zhou Yu felt that if the two paths of destiny were "The Rise of Yuxia" and the King of Tang and Wu", then Cao Cao was obviously going to "The Rise of Yuxia".
This is indeed the case with Cao Wei in history.
Unlike Yuan Shu, the expressway of the Han Dynasty, Cao Wei explained that "Those who replaced the Han Dynasty were Dang Tu Gao" means that the one who replaced the Han Dynasty ruled the world was "Tu Gao", which refers to "the talisman of the Wei family's orders", which was arranged by God, and even the word "Wei" was specially selected. Because "Tu is the way; those who are like Wei are the two viewings."
The word "Wei" means that it refers to the tall palaces on both sides of the road, so the tall one is "Wei", so the contemporary Wei Han seems to be rightful. Through this explanation, Cao Wei has the public opinion foundation of "receiving the destiny of heaven to replace the Han Dynasty".
In addition, Cao Cao occupied the original base of Guangwu's Zhongxing, the Central Plains region of the Han Dynasty, and later transferred the political center to Yecheng, Jizhou. This Central Plains region was also the "Three Dynasties Old Place" of "The Capital of Yao, the Ring of Shun, and the Seal of Yu" that was respected in ancient times, and was one of the symbols of "the commanded by heaven".
Such arguments can be more recognized by the children of the Central Plains gentry, and will have more or less the meaning of "the rise of Yu and Xia", and can be recognized and supported by the Central Plains scholars.
Whether it is the present or in history, Cao Cao was actually on such a road. Through the creation of prophecies and divination theory, combined with his strength and conditions to occupy the Central Plains, he finally copied the allusion of the destiny of "Yu and Xia" that the ancients highly praised by Yao, Shun and Yu, which was extremely popular among the three dynasties. Through the destiny of "the virtues are the same as heaven", the Cao Wei political group was gradually given to the orthodox position.
On the other hand, Fei Qian, who replaced Liu Bei's original "destroying evil" method, was more in line with the destiny of the "King of Tangwu" than Liu Bei in history...
Although in history, Liu Bei finally took the Han Dynasty as orthodox and said that he was the orthodox heir of the Han Dynasty, the origin of Liu Xuande and his bloodline were related to it, and it would be fine to deceive ordinary people. If he really leaned against Tangwu, it would be somewhat contradictory.
In history, Liu Bei did not simply talk about Tang Wu, but instead pioneered the idea that "The Han Dynasty has its own world and has no boundaries", saying that the Han family has its own inheritance and counts from the Western Han Dynasty. Although Wang Mang's plot was conspired, there was still Guangwu's revival later. Therefore, Dong Zhuo and even Cao Cao were just like Wang Mang's reappearance. In the end, Liu Bei would push the Han Dynasty back to the correct cycle of reincarnation like Guangwu, realizing the Han Dynasty's "The No boundaries" as "The No boundaries" were achieved.
Therefore, Liu Bei also said that he was the orthodox heir of destiny. He inherited not only the Eastern Han Dynasty, but also the Western Han Dynasty. He inherited the destiny from his grandfather's grandfather's grandfather's grandfather's grandfather's grandfather's...
Hey, in this way, it seems that it is much taller than Cao Wei and more credible. Therefore, Liu Bei's attack on Cao Wei also seemed to represent "Heavenly Punishment".
Of course, if Liu Bei could really attack Cao Wei in history, then his "destiny" would naturally be understandable, but the problem is that he is unable to defeat the punishment, what should he do?
One and two penaltys may be called the test given by God. After these three and four penaltys, there is still no gain. That is, isn’t there any problem? After five and six and seven penaltys, the people of Sichuan and Sichuan naturally began to mutter, who punishes whom?
Now, Fei Qian, who is now vaguely following the "Tangwu" path, is not as embarrassed as Liu Bei in history.
Whether it was the previous frontier desert, the conquest of the Western Qiang, and the pacification of the Jianning area of Sichuan, Shu, and the various wars did not make Fei Qian's Guanzhong regime exhausted and decayed, but instead, they were like fiery fire and steel making, and they were more and more forged and shining signs. Tangwu's "Dai Tianxing Zhu" tasted more and more.
Although Fei Qian has always regarded himself as a minister of the Han Dynasty and has not expressed or expressed to the outside world how to replace the Han Dynasty, wasn’t it the same in Tang and Wu back then? Shang Tang destroyed Xia and King Wu defeated Zhou because of Xia Jie and Shang Zhou’s actions and many unrighteous actions were punished by heaven. Therefore, Tang and Wu “slaughtered on behalf of heaven” is the embodiment of “his virtue is the same as heaven”.
Perhaps many people are thinking, if Cao Cao did something that "God is not tolerant" that day, would Fei Qian in Guanzhong lead the world's troops like an ancient Tang and Wu?
Moreover, the Zhou Dynasty was in the west back then, and now Fei Qian is in the west back now. Is this really a coincidence?
Of course, Cao Cao is also making some changes at the moment, and Fei Qian also abandoned these so-called prophecies and divinations. However, no matter what Cao Cao and Fei Qian do, the problem is that poor Jiangdong, neither side can stand it!
Sun Quan thought about it, the more he thought about it, the more he became more anxious, and sweat beads on his forehead rolled down.
Sun Jian, the founder of the Jiangdong regime, was originally a general of Yuan Gonglu, a rebel minister of the Han Dynasty.
Can a ruthless minister be a good person?
This public opinion basis was simply awful at first.
Later, under Zhou Yu's plan, Sun Ce split from Yuan Shu and submitted a letter to the Emperor of Han, and obtained formal recognition and enthronement in the court, which gave him a nominal formal relationship with the people of Jiangdong under his command.
This is the stone with Jiangdong foundation as its foundation.
But now this cornerstone has become an obstacle for Jiangdong to further reach his competitors in destiny.
In history, neither side of Jiangdong was reliable, which led to Sun Quan's bed and sleeping with Liu Bei, and then playing a white lotus vividly with Cao Cao. First, he reached an alliance with Liu Bei to fight against Cao in the name of "eliminating thieves for the Han Dynasty", but soon after, he broke out of the wall, attacked Guan Yu, and praised Cao Wei. However, not long after, Jiangdong rebelled against Cao Wei again and joined forces with Shu to attack Wei.
This repeated jumping situation made Sun Quan not please both sides. Whether they supported the "Yu Xia rise" or the "King of Tang Wu", they did not agree with Sun Quan, so that Sun Quan did not have the "Basic foundation of Emperor Gaozu's Emperor's Profession" in history, and also the "Three Generations of Prosperity", the Central Plains, which made it impossible for Sun Quan to raise a banner similar to "Gao Zu's Destroy Xiang", nor could he imitate the "Yu Xia rise" between Yao, Shun and Yu.
Later, Sun Quan found some so-called prophecies and divination support, but his legal basis for becoming emperor was actually very fragile. To this end, Sun Quan took the final compensation measure to form an alliance with Shu Han, hoping to strengthen the legitimacy of his ascension with the Han Dynasty's recognition of his emperor title. Even so, Jiangdong's various contradictory practices made Jiangdong's destiny extremely chaotic, which inevitably led to the orthodox basis of his orthodox reputation as emperor. In turn, the people of Jiangdong did not recognize the "destiny" of the Sun regime. It is not surprising that Jiangdong people do not recognize the "destiny" of the Sun regime.
Now, under Zhou Yu's suggestion, Sun Quan seemed to have foresaw such a dilemma in the future, and couldn't help but ask at a loss: "Governor, what should I do...?
Sun Quan has not yet fully evolved into Emperor Sun...
Well, even Emperor Sun may not be able to find a new path.
Zhou Yu shook his head slowly, then looked at Sun Quan and said, "Destiny... others can't give it to you, you can only ask for it yourself... One wrong step will be a disaster... lord, they will let you out soon... How to go... you need to think about it..."
