Chapter 2790: Out of reach from top to bottom, left and right, and out of reach around the front and rear
Some things are too painful to understand.
The issues that Jiang Dong and Zhang were discussing were actually being discussed between Sun Quan and Zhou Yu.
After learning that Zhou Yu's condition was getting worse, Sun Quan became obviously silent and became more able to listen to Zhou Yu's words.
This time Sun Quan specially brought a fur fur to give to Zhou Yu.
"Thank you, my lord." Zhou Yu was not too polite and unfolded the fur sent by Sun Quan and spread it on his legs.
Although Zhou Yu is not very old now, he looks like an old man at the moment.
Zhou Yu's body became thinner and thinner due to prolonged coughing.
The lungs are the most important organ of human beings, both in terms of traditional Chinese medicine theory and Western medicine anatomy. Although it is not like the heart or brain, where even a little damage can lead to death, once there is a problem with the lungs, it may be more serious than
Diseases in other organs are even more painful.
A heart problem may be fatal in a few minutes or dozens of minutes, and the same is true for most other parts of the body. However, lung diseases, especially chronic or hidden dangers, can generally be delayed and a person's death can be delayed.
The strong man was dragged alive into a skeleton, and a young man was dragged until his hair grew white and he became old...
Just like most naughty children, only when their parents are dying do they realize how hard their parents have worked. Only when they face loss do they realize how precious they are.
Only then did Sun Quan truly understand that Zhou Yu was not trying to harm him, and that he truly trusted Zhou Yu completely.
That's right, Sun Quan only trusted Zhou Yu after he realized that Zhou Yu was about to die.
Otherwise, Sun Quan always suspected that Zhou Yu wanted to steal his house...
People with lung disease generally need to rest. Just like some old people, if they are well, they can live for another two years, but if something happens, they can just leave. But the problem is that it is difficult for Zhou Yu to rest.
Come down...
"This kind of fur..." Zhou Yu touched the leather on his knees, "The workmanship is good, it must be from Chang'an... My lord, there is no need to spend so much money..."
The leather-making technology of the Han Dynasty was relatively crude.
Most ordinary leathers are very hard and even taste very pungent.
Only the furs produced in Chang'an were not only softer than ordinary furs, but also did not have a choking smell, so they naturally became sought after by the children of the gentry.
Although it is not very cold in Jiangdong, many nobles still keep one or two pieces of furs, just waiting for the occasional snowy day or two in Jiangdong, and wear them specially to hang out, basically with a kind of
Anyway, everyone else has it, so naturally I can’t live without it.
Therefore, overall, this type of fur is also a hot commodity and the price is high.
"How much are these external things worth?" Sun Quan sighed, "If it can alleviate the governor's illness a little, what's the harm in having a thousand gold?"
Zhou Yu smiled.
The sun shone down and fell on Zhou Yu's somewhat white temples.
"The doctors in Jiangdong are all useless!" Sun Quan suddenly said with some resentment, "Don't worry, Governor! I have sent people to Chang'an, and I will definitely invite famous doctors to come and extend the Governor's life!"
Zhou Yu smiled, coughed slightly, and said in a weak voice, "Thank you, Lord. Life and death are determined by fate, so there is no need to be harsh, Lord."
Zhou Yu's voice was very weak. Because of the lung disease, Zhou Yu's Qi became increasingly deficient. He could no longer speak as loudly as before. It was even difficult to maintain a normal volume. He could only speak softly.
You must speak slowly to speak a few words, otherwise it will cause coughing...
"My lord, you should pay more attention to this than my illness..." Zhou Yu patted the fur on his knees, "Today, Jiangdong's products are all dependent on outsiders... This is a taboo..."
Jiangdong is currently not as good as later generations, and it cannot shout any national economic slogans. Whether it is agriculture or handicrafts, Jiangdong in the Han Dynasty was relatively poor. This situation was not significantly reversed until the Jin Dynasty moved south.
Not only doctors, but also handicrafts are actually dependent on outsiders, which is undoubtedly a big obstacle to the development of Jiangdong.
Sun Quan nodded, "What the governor said is true. I have discussed with Dongfang before to open up another 100,000 acres of farmland. However, although the farmland method is a long-term strategy, the results are slow... As for Liu Xuande in Jiaozhou, business is now booming, and Shang
Not enough to use..."
Although we are walking along the coastline from Jiangdong to Jiaozhi, it does not mean that everything will go smoothly. Even if there are no problems on the road and on the boat, we can only go back and forth once a year, otherwise we will face the monsoon and headwinds.
However, it is indeed somewhat difficult for current navigation technology.
Coupled with the limitations of shipbuilding technology, the number of trade by sea cannot keep up with that by land.
The current trade situation in Jiangdong may also be an important reason for the scumbag power to expand into the sea in anger in history.
Zhou Yu nodded, "My lord and Er Zhang can discuss this matter... But there is one thing, my lord must make up his mind early..."
Sun Quan asked: "What's the matter?"
Zhou Yu coughed a few times, then paused for a while, and said, "Jiangdong... Ahem, the key point of Jiangdong is not the danger of mountains and rivers... but the stronghold of people's hearts. If you win the hearts of the people, millions of soldiers will arrive."
It cannot be shaken. If it is not possible, even a thousand riders will be invincible. The Wuling rebellion is important, but it is not what the lord is anxious about at the moment..."
Sun Quan sat upright and bowed his hands, saying, "I would like to hear the details."
Sun Quan has said this to Zhou Yu or others more than once. But when Sun Quan said it before, he often took it lightly or perfunctorily, but now
…
Sun Quan's attitude was very good, but Zhou Yu didn't 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 lightly again.
After saying twice, he said, "My lord...do you know what destiny is?"
"Destiny?" Sun Quan was stunned.
Maybe Zhou Yu was also lamenting the issue of destiny in his heart, or maybe he had some other thoughts. Anyway, as soon as these two words came out, Sun Quan couldn't help but ponder.
Zhou Yu nodded slowly, as if he wanted to say something, but he coughed again.
Sun Quan stepped forward and helped Zhou Yu calm down while asking someone to bring in some water.
There was a moment of panic, but fortunately, after a while, Zhou Yu's cough gradually stopped, and then he drank some decoction and lay down half-tired.
The servants retreated.
Sun Quan looked at Zhou Yu, feeling helpless and sad.
Sometimes, the word destiny is like a heavy stone, weighing on my heart.
As we all know, in ancient Chinese traditional politics, "mandate of heaven" is the most important foundation of a political power.
As the top figure of Jiangdong's ruling class, Sun Quan was not the top in terms of wisdom, but after all, his butt determined his head, and he was also forced to become a top figure in terms of power. And this was indeed the case for him in history. He spent his whole life fighting with the Jiangdong nobles.
The children engage in political struggle.
Zhou Yu's words were like a sharp knife, breaking through a lot of fog at once, making the situation in Jiangdong a lot clearer.
That's right, Jiangdong's problem is actually these two words, "Destiny".
After Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty only respected Confucianism, the theory of destiny based on Dong Zhongshu's induction of heaven and man became the most orthodox governing theory in the Han Dynasty for three to four hundred years. This theory provided a very good standard for governance, and it also divided
To the ruling class, "the emperor takes orders from heaven, and the world takes orders from the emperor."
Everyone knows that the emperor of the Han Dynasty no longer looks like an emperor, so does this "mandate of destiny" mean the beginning of a shift?
Anyway, God will not change. Since the world does not change, only those who comply with the "destiny" will change.
Perhaps no one would have dared to speak up about this issue a few years ago, but now that the three pillars are at odds, there seems to be nothing to be taboo about.
"There are only two things that change destiny..." Zhou Yu said slowly, "One is for Yu Xia, and the other is for Tang Wu... Lord, have you ever thought about it?"
"Yu Xia...Tang Wu..." Sun Quan murmured and repeated. For some reason, his heart beat a little faster, and there seemed to be a thumping sound, just like the war drums on the battlefield for thousands of years, beating in his heart.
For the Han Dynasty, or for many people in Jiangdong, "The Rise of Yu Xia" and "The King of Tang and Wu" are the two most important lines in the so-called "Orthodoxy of Destiny".
Not only for the Han Dynasty, almost all subsequent changes in feudal dynasties followed the "Rise of Yu Xia" model of peaceful abdication of Yao, Shun and Yu, or followed the violent overthrow of Shang Tang and Zhou Wu.
Based on the "King of Tangwu" model of a generation, in terms of the "legitimacy" of the imperial inheritance of the feudal dynasty, these two paths are the so-called "right path".
Therefore, the so-called destiny of the dynasty is actually based on the two regime establishment models of "The Rise of Yu Xia" and "The King of Tang and Wu". It is a complete set of explanations that the new dynasty is "the same virtue as heaven, so it can be called
The political correctness of the emperor and the related public opinion operation system were discussed to discuss the legitimacy of the new dynasty and strive for the political recognition of the new dynasty by the general public.
This is where Jiangdong's problem lies.
Because Jiangdong has neither the "Rise of Yu Xia" nor the "King of Tang and Wu"...
Jiangdong is so pitiful right now.
God’s will is always difficult to ask.
How do mortals know the will of God?
This requires another model or a system to explain.
The interpretation system established by Guangwu of the Eastern Han Dynasty is the prophecies. Prophecies and supernatural powers actually assume that some sages can predict God's will, so they record them in the form of prophecies so that future generations can master and use them. After Guangwu, prophecies became extremely popular and were
Incorporated into the public opinion operation system of the Mandate of Heaven, it became an important basis for discussing the orthodoxy of the dynasty in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and has always been prevalent in the Shandong Confucian classics system.
"Whoever replaces the Han Dynasty should be Tu Gaoye?" Sun Quan spat out a sentence.
Zhou Yu closed his eyes and nodded slowly.
Among the Three Kingdoms in history, this sentence was undoubtedly a huge trigger, setting off more than one big thunder.
However, this also just reflects Jiangdong's inherent shortcomings.
Although Zhou Yu was ill, he was still worried about Jiangdong. As for Jiangdong's problem, other issues can be ignored for the time being. The most important one is that the name is not justified.
Zhou Yu felt that if there are two paths of destiny, one is "the rise of Yuxia" and the other is "the king of Tangwu", then Cao Cao is obviously going to take the "rise of Yuxia" at the moment.
This is indeed the case for Cao Wei in history.
Different from Yuan Shu in the Han Dynasty, Cao Wei interpreted the sentence "The person who will succeed the Han Dynasty should be Tu Gaoye" to mean that the person who will replace the Han Dynasty to rule the world will be "Tu Gao", which refers to "the Wei family's talisman" and is heaven.
In the arrangement, even the word "Wei" was specially selected because "the painting means the road; the person who looks like the Wei, the two views are the bridge."
The meaning of the word "Wei" refers to the tall palaces on both sides of the road, so "on the road" and the tall ones are "Wei", so it seems natural that Wei should be the contemporary of Han. Through this explanation, Cao Wei has
The foundation of public opinion on "Destined to Replace the Han Dynasty".
In addition, Cao Cao occupied the original base of Guangwu Zhongxing, the Central Plains region of the Han Dynasty, and later moved the political center to Yecheng, Jizhou. This Central Plains region was also revered in ancient times as "the capital of Yao, the land of Shun, and the seal of Yu"
"The homeland of three generations" is one of the symbols of "mandated by heaven".
This kind of argument is more likely to be recognized by the scholars of the Central Plains, and it will have some meaning of "the rise of Yu Xia", and can be recognized and supported by the scholars of the Central Plains.
Whether it is Cao Cao now or in history, he is actually traveling on such a road. By building momentum through the theory of prophecy, combined with his strength and conditions to occupy the Central Plains, he finally adopted the peaceful transition method of "Han, Wei, Zen Dynasty"
It copied the allusion of "the rise of Yu and Xia" in the three generations of Yao, Shun, and Yu that was highly praised by the ancients. Through the theory of "their virtues are the same as the sky", the Cao Wei political group was gradually brought to an orthodox position.
On the other side, Fei Qian, who replaced Liu Bei's original way of "conquering evil", is more in line with the destiny path of "King of Tang and Wu" than Liu Bei in history...
Although in history, Liu Bei finally regarded the Han Dynasty as his orthodoxy and said that he was the orthodox heir of the Han Dynasty, but was Liu Xuande's origin and blood related? It was just a matter of deceiving ordinary people. If he really wanted to rely on Tang and Wu
, which is somewhat contradictory.
In history, Liu Bei did not blindly talk about Tang and Wu, but he pioneered the statement that "Han has the world, and history has no boundaries." He said that the Han family has inheritance, starting from the Western Han Dynasty, although there was Wang Mang's conspiracy in the middle.
However, later there was still Guangwu's ZTE, so Dong Zhuo and even Cao Cao were just similar to Wang Mang's reappearance. In the end, Liu Bei, like Guangwu, would push the Han Dynasty back to the correct reincarnation and realize the "Calendar" of the Han Dynasty.
"Boundless".
Therefore, Liu Bei also said that he is the orthodox successor to the 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...
Well, putting it this way, it seems that he is much higher than Cao Wei and more credible. Therefore, Liu Bei's crusade against Cao Wei seems to represent "natural punishment".
Of course, if Liu Bei in history could really conquer Cao Wei, then his "destiny" would be understandable. But the problem lies here, what can be done if the punishment is invincible?
One free throw and two free throws may be called a test from God. After these three free throws and four free throws, there is still no gain, so there is something wrong? After five free throws, six free throws and seven free throws, the people of Sichuan and Shu naturally began to murmur.
Okay, who is punishing whom?
But now, Fei Qian, who is walking the "Tang Wu" way now, does not have the embarrassment of Liu Bei in history.
Whether it was the previous conquest of the border deserts, the conquest of the Western Qiang, or the pacification of the Sichuan-Sichuan Jianning region, all kinds of wars not only did not exhaust Fei Qian's Guanzhong regime, but instead became more and more like steel being made in a fierce fire.
The forging has a shining sign, and the taste of Yuwu's "Daitianxingzhu" is getting stronger and stronger.
Although Fei Qian has always regarded himself as a minister of the Han Dynasty and has not revealed or expressed to the outside world how he wants to replace the Han Dynasty, wasn't it the same for Tang and Wu in the past? Shang Tang destroyed Xia and King Wu defeated Zhou because of Xia Jie.
Shang Zhou committed many unjust acts and was punished by Heaven. Therefore, Tang and Wu "executed on behalf of Heaven", which is the embodiment of "their virtues are the same as Heaven's".
Perhaps many people are thinking that if the innocent Cao Cao did something that "God cannot tolerate" that day, would Guanzhong Feiqian be like the ancient Tang Wu, leading the soldiers of the world to attack him?
Moreover, the Zhou Dynasty was in the west, and Fei Qian is also in the west now. Is this really a coincidence?
Of course, Cao Cao is also making some changes at the moment, and Fei Qian is also abandoning these so-called prophecies. But no matter what Cao Cao and Fei Qian do, the problem is that poor Jiangdong can't match it!
Sun Quan thought about it, and the more he thought about it, the more panicked he became, and beads of sweat rolled down his forehead.
Sun Jian, the founder of the Jiangdong regime, was originally a subordinate of Yuan Gongdao, a rebellious minister of the Han Dynasty.
Can a rebellious minister be a good person?
This basis of public opinion was simply terrible at first.
Later, under Zhou Yu's plan, Sun Ce broke away from Yuan Shu and submitted it to the Emperor of the Han Dynasty. Through this, he obtained the formal recognition and canonization of the court. Only then did he and the people of Jiangdong under his command have a formal monarch and minister in name.
relation.
This is the stone that serves as the foundation of Jiangdong Jiye.
But now this cornerstone has become an obstacle on Jiangdong's path to further becoming a contender for destiny.
Historically, both sides of Jiangdong were unreliable, which led to Sun Quan sleeping with Liu Bei for a while, and flirting with Cao Cao for a while, pretending to be a white lotus, and first forming an alliance with Liu Bei in the name of "eliminating thieves for the Han Dynasty"
They jointly resisted Cao Wei, but soon they came out of the wall brazenly, attacked and killed Guan Yu, and surrendered to Cao Wei. However, not long after, Jiangdong rebelled against Cao Wei again and joined forces with Shu to attack Wei.
This situation of repeated jumps made Sun Quan unpopular with both sides. No matter those who supported the "Rise of Yu Xia" or those who supported the "King of Tang and Wu", they all disagreed with Sun Quan, so that Sun Quan had no chance to win the "Ba Shu" in history.
"The foundation of Emperor Gaozu's empire" also missed the Central Plains, the "place of prosperity for three generations", which made it impossible for Sun Quan to raise a banner similar to "Gaozu destroyed Xiang", nor could he imitate the "Rise of Yuxia" between Yao, Shun and Yu.
Lift.
Later, Sun Quan found some so-called support from prophecies, but the legal basis for his claim to the throne was actually very fragile. For this reason, Sun Quan's final remedial measure was to form an alliance with the Shu Han Dynasty, hoping to use the Han Dynasty's recognition of his emperor's title to strengthen his accession to the throne.
Even so, Jiangdong's various self-contradictory practices have made Jiangdong's destiny path extremely confusing, which will inevitably lead to doubts about the legitimacy of his proclaimed emperor, which in turn will lead to people in Jiangdong not recognizing the Sun regime.
It’s not surprising.”
Now, under Zhou Yu's advice, Sun Quan seemed to have foreseen this kind of dilemma in the future, and couldn't help but asked at a loss: "Captain, this... what should we do about this?"
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 slowly shook his head, then looked at Sun Quan and said: "Destiny... Others can't give it to you, you can only ask for it... One wrong step, and you will be doomed... Lord, they will let you out soon... I want to
