After listening to Zhang Zhao's words, Sun Quan felt extremely worried in his heart. Sun Ce and Zhou Yu were brothers, but he was not. Zhou Yu had great power. This was something everyone knew. Sun Quan had to both use him and guard against him. Originally, he could have ascended the throne as emperor three years ago and replaced the crazy Sun Ce, but for the sake of the overall situation, he did not do so. Now, Zhou Yu is back, and his worries have to be brought to the forefront again. Zhang Zhao's words are like A sharp cone pierced his heart, leaving him unable to breathe.
While Sun Quan was thinking about it, Zu Mao rushed over from outside, looking very panicked, and hurriedly said to Sun Quan: "Your Majesty, the Commander-in-Chief has already stayed at the post house. The Commander-in-Chief has been able to calm down the Commander for the time being. …”
"Just what?" Sun Quan asked hurriedly.
"It's just that tomorrow is the death anniversary of the late king. On such an important occasion, if His Majesty doesn't show up, the Governor will definitely become suspicious, and the excuse used by the Governor when he comes back this time is the anniversary of the death of the late King." Zu Mao told the story. Difficulties.
Zhang Zhao hurriedly interjected: "Your Majesty, you must not let Zhou Yu see your Majesty. When the time comes, you will blame your Majesty..."
"Your Majesty is the king of a country and the most filial person. How could your Majesty not personally preside over the anniversary of the late king's death?" Sun Quan interrupted Zhang Zhao.
"Does your Majesty really intend to let the Governor know about His Majesty's affairs?" Zhang Zhao asked suspiciously.
Sun Quan's face suddenly became gloomy, he turned his head and shouted to Zhang Zhao: "In your opinion, is it possible to imprison Zhou Gongjin as well, or to kill him on the spot?"
Zhang Zhao hurriedly defended: "I don't mean this, but Zhou Yu has always been arrogant, and he has a lot of troops. If he knew your majesty's current situation, and if he was ambitious, he would probably seek to usurp the throne... "
Sun Quan said: "So what if he is ambitious? He came here alone. If he really has the slightest ambition, will the soldiers under my king be afraid of him? Your Majesty has the courage that ten thousand men cannot deserve. Looking at the possibility of Wu State, No one can match him, but not Zhou Gongjin. He is just a Confucian general. If he really has the intention to rebel, I will kill him right now to avoid any future troubles."
"However, if Zhou Yu dies, his subordinates will probably rebel, and their lives will inevitably be ruined again. Moreover, it will also give the Huaxia Kingdom an opportunity, and maybe the Wu Kingdom will collapse in an instant. ..." Zhang Zhao expressed his worries, but at this point, he saw Sun Quan's face getting gloomier, so he hurriedly stopped talking, changed the subject, and said, "I deserve to die, I shouldn't say such frustration. If anything, I deserve to die..."
"Okay, okay, the Prime Minister is also working hard for the country, and his heart is understandable. However, you are right. The soldiers and horses in Jingzhou and Jiaozhou account for half of our Wu Kingdom. If Zhou Yu is really killed, those people will be afraid Will rebel. I must think of a perfect strategy..."
Sun Quan held his cheek and thought carefully, then glanced at Sun Ce in the prison, and suddenly came up with a plan and was ready to take risks.
"Zu Mao." Sun Quan called out immediately after he thought of the plan.
"Your Majesty, what are your orders?" Zu Mao asked immediately.
"Since Zhou Yu has always wanted to see His Majesty, let him see you. Go to the post house now and bring Zhou Yu here." Sun Quan said.
"Your Majesty..." After hearing this, Zhang Zhao was surprised and hurriedly offered words of comfort.
When Sun Quan heard Zhang Zhao's cry, he immediately raised his hand, stopped what Zhang Zhao wanted to say, and said sternly: "Prime Minister, there is no need to say more, I have my own sense of proportion."
Zu Mao then responded, then turned and left.
Sun Quan walked up to Sun Ce, saw Sun Ce who had calmed down, and said slowly: "Your Majesty, you believe in Zhou Gongjin so much, and I believe in you again today. If you can understand what I am saying,
Please pray for Zhou Yu, but no matter what the outcome is, the country that my father and your majesty have worked so hard to win must not be usurped by others. My father, I also hope that you have a spirit in heaven to bless my child for success this time!"
After Zhang Zhao heard this, he knew that Sun Quan had made a great decision, but he didn't know what Sun Quan was going to do, but he couldn't ask directly, so he had to stand there silently and pray silently in his heart.
An hour later, outside the first gate of the Hanlin Academy, Zhou Yu reined in his horses. He took a look at the terrain here and the actions of the surrounding soldiers, and found that the guards here were so tight that they were no less strict.
At the palace.
Taiwei Cheng Pu, Wei General Huang Gai, Wei Wei Han Dang, and Jin Wuzu Mao all got off their horses in unison. Cheng Pu pointed to the first gate in front and said to Zhou Yu: "Gong Jin,
After passing this door, you can see His Majesty quickly. However, before entering, please remove all your weapons and dismount your horse and walk."
Zhou Yu had a trace of doubt. Although he was confused, he still followed the instructions. However, he found that Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Han Dang, and Zu Mao did not remove their weapons. He did not pay attention, but followed them.
The four of them walked to the door together.
When the door slowly opened, Zhou Yu was surprised by the sight that appeared, and couldn't help but exclaimed: "Is this the Hanlin Academy?"
"Captain of Zhou, please!" Cheng Pu was a Taiwei, but he had no real power. Compared with Zhou Yu, he was slightly inferior. Wu State did not have a general, but replaced it with a governor, who was almost the emperor.
The second-in-command, he held a high and powerful position, and his status was much more respected than that of Cheng Pu.
Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Han Dang, and Zu Mao have followed Sun Jian for a long time and are considered to be senior figures in the Wu Kingdom. However, since Sun Ce came to power, he has been reusing the young talents of Ce Yu's army, making these veteran generals quite capable.
Complaints. Therefore, when Sun Ce went crazy and Sun Quan became regent, Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Han Dang, and Zu Mao devoted themselves to working for Sun Quan, and at the same time participated in the activities of imprisoning Sun Ce.
Zhou Yu followed behind and kept walking inside. He went deeper into the cave step by step. He felt that it was a mistake for him not to step into the imperial capital for three years. This was not a place where craftsmen gathered at all. It was clearly a huge prison.
With one post, five steps and one sentry, and the defense is so tight, the people imprisoned here must have a good background.
Suddenly, Zhou Yu had an ominous premonition.
Zhou Yu continued to walk forward without saying a word. When he reached the bottom of the cave, he suddenly saw Sun Quan, the king of Song Dynasty, and Zhang Zhao, the prime minister, standing there. In front of them, there was a huge
The prison was made of steel, and inside the prison was a strong man with unkempt hair and ragged clothes.
When Zhou Yu saw the strong man for the first time, his pupils dilated instantly, and his heart felt as if he had been hit hard by a heavy hammer. Because he recognized the familiar person in the prison.
The figure is none other than his sworn brother, Sun Ce, the emperor of Wu.
"Your Majesty!" Zhou Yu ran over quickly, rushed directly to the prison cell covered with layers of steel bars, knelt on the ground, stared at Sun Ce, and shouted sadly and angrily.
Unexpectedly, Sun Ce, who has always been a lunatic, did not show any violence this time. After seeing Zhou Yu, for some reason, he hid aside as if he was scared, then covered his face with his hands and started roaring and barking.
, shouting words that no one could hear clearly.
"Your Majesty... I am Gong Jin, Your Majesty..." Zhou Yu shouted bitterly, but Sun Ce always ignored him.
"It's useless, Your Majesty doesn't understand what you are talking about..." Song King Sun Quan said slowly.
Zhou Yu suddenly turned his head, stood up from the ground, raised his finger and pointed at Sun Quan, Zhang Zhao, Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Han Dang, Zu Mao and others, and shouted with grief and anger: "You treacherous ministers and traitors have actually harmed His Majesty.
It's like this! Sun Zhongmou, your Majesty is your brother, your biological brother, how can you be so heartless, you...you..."
"Grand Governor, you have misunderstood. It was not King Song who wanted to do this. It was really out of helplessness..." Huang Gai explained hurriedly.
"You are all in the same group. I didn't expect that you deceived me for three whole years, and also deceived the entire Wu Kingdom. If I hadn't come back suddenly this time, how long would you have planned to keep His Majesty in prison? You treacherous officials and traitors,
Everyone can kill him!" Zhou Yu only said that Sun Quan did this in order to usurp the throne, regardless of the good or the bad.
Zaobai cursed a lot. When people are angry, their IQ will decrease. Zhou Yu and Sun Ce are like brothers, more than real brothers. The brotherhood for many years has already made the two people indistinguishable from each other. It is for this reason that Zhou Yu
Seeing Sun Ce in such a miserable state, he was so angry that he didn't even think about the reason.
"Rebellious ministers and traitors? If I really want to usurp the throne, why do I need to do this? Zhou Gongjin, I know the friendship between you and His Majesty. It is precisely because of this that I specially asked you to come. I am Your Majesty.
My dear brother, your majesty has become like this, do you think you should
Will the king feel better? Do you know how much pressure I have endured by doing this? If you want to scold me, wait until I tell you the truth. You will not be late to scold me again, even if you want to beat me or kill me.
, I have no complaints or regrets." Sun Quan suddenly said loudly.
Zhou Yu said: "Okay, I'll listen to your explanation!"
So Sun Quan told Zhou Yu the whole story. After Zhou Yu heard this, he hurriedly looked back at Sun Ce, and then said: "No, it's impossible. Your Majesty has always been magnanimous, how could he change that?"
Is it like this? If you lie, you must be lying!"
"Believe it or not, that's the truth."
Huang Gai hurriedly said: "Grand Governor, what King Song said is absolutely correct. I can guarantee it with the head of the general. Moreover, this matter was also done by the Queen Mother. If the Grand Governor doesn't believe it, you can go to the palace and ask the Queen Mother."
