"Don't worry, I will definitely ask the Queen Mother. If the answer I get is different from what you said, I, Zhou Yu, will not let you go even if I die."
After Zhou Yu finished speaking, he turned around and knelt on the ground, kowtowed twice to Sun Ce, and then said: "Your Majesty, please bear with me for a little longer. I will let you out after I ask about the situation."
After saying that, Zhou Yu stood up and walked straight outside. When he passed by Sun Quan, his hateful eyes stared directly at Sun Quan. In his heart, he had already identified Sun Quan as a brother-killer.
The murderer.
Zhang Zhao saw Zhou Yu leaving, but Sun Quan did not stop him. He hurriedly said to Sun Quan: "Your Majesty, Zhou Yu has shown his evil side. We cannot let him go. He should be killed immediately!"
Sun Quan said: "Gong Jin and Your Majesty are brothers and sisters. When he suddenly sees Your Majesty like this, he will naturally not be able to accept it. This is human nature. If Gong Jin is not so angry, then I should not leave Gong Jin alive. He
Go and ask the Queen Mother, and you will understand after you know the truth. Only then will I act according to the opportunity."
"But what if Zhou Yu ran away instead of looking for the Queen Mother?"
"Your Majesty dares to hand over half of Wu's troops to Gong Jin, which means that Your Majesty believes in Gong Jin. If this is the case, why can't I trust Gong Jin?" Sun Quan said.
"Your Majesty, you are not afraid of ten thousand, just in case. I still think it is better to be careful."
"Gong Jin is always alone. If he were outside, I would still care about him. But now that he has arrived in the capital, what else do I have to worry about? General Huang!" Sun Quan turned around and glanced at Huang Gai.
, and called out.
"What's your order, Your Majesty?" Huang Gai took a step forward and said, cupping his fists.
"Send someone to secretly monitor Zhou Yu's every move. Before I make up my mind, I will never let him leave the capital."
"No!" Huang Gai responded, turned around and left.
Later, Sun Quan took Zhang Zhao, Cheng Pu, Han Dang, and Zu Mao to leave the Hanlin Academy 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."
"We are finally here. Let the Grand Governor come in. Also, during the conversation between the king and the Grand Governor, 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, cupped his hands towards Sun Quan and said: "Zhou Gongjin has met the king."
"Gong Jin, please take a seat!" Sun Quan hurriedly and enthusiastically showed Zhou Yu his seat. After Zhou Yu sat down, he sat down next to Zhou Yu without any airs of Wang Gui.
Zhou Yu had already been granted the title of Hou by Sun Ce, and with the military power in his hands, although he could be said to be on an equal footing with Sun Quan, according to etiquette, when Hou saw the king, he was still one level below him. So, as soon as Zhou Yu saw Sun Quan sitting down, he immediately
He 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. Your Majesty can sit on an equal footing with you, why can't I? You don't let me sit, how do you want me to kneel?"
"I don't dare, I don't mean that. It's just that things are different from the past." Zhou Yu had already asked the Queen Mother, and the result he got was no different from what Sun Quan said. However, he still
Not feeling at ease, he went to see Grand Tutor 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 is still the same. You are still the unique commander-in-chief 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 couldn't refuse again, so he sat down obediently. However, in his heart, the King of Song in front of him was already the actual emperor. Although he had not officially ascended the throne, if Sun Ce could not wake up in one day, the entire country would be in power.
Only Sun Quan was the one. 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 treat him as a brother."
"this……"
"Brother Gongjin doesn't agree, is it because he thinks Zhongmou is not qualified?"
"No, no, no, Zhou Yu never meant this, it's just..."
"Don't just settle like this. Brother Gongjin, Your Majesty has been suffering from heart failure for three full years. In the past three years, I have visited famous doctors, but they have been unable to cure Your Majesty. According to my mother's request, I have temporarily taken charge of political affairs, but
I know that my talent is far inferior to that of brother Gongjin. Gongjin
Brother Gongjin is a great man with both civil and military skills, talent and appearance. He is a great man in our country of Wu. Brother Gongjin and Your Majesty are good brothers who have a sworn sworn relationship with Jinlan. If Brother Gongjin is willing, my Sun family is willing to give up the throne.
Come out, Brother Gong Jin will succeed you to ensure the eternal foundation of our country of Wu..."
After Zhou Yu heard what Sun Quan said, 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. He can kill people invisible with just one word. This plan is really clever. I'm afraid that if I don't speak anymore, the swordsman and axeman ambushing in the imperial study will immediately rush out and chop me into pieces."
Meat..." Zhou Yu thought secretly in his heart.
"Brother Gongjin, what are you thinking about?" 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, just let the King of Song take over the throne, and Gong Jin will definitely treat the King of Song like His Majesty."
"However, I have little talent and little knowledge, so I am afraid that it will be difficult for me to take on such a big responsibility..."
"Your Majesty and I are brothers and sisters, and Gong Jin will work hard to protect your Majesty's country even if he dies. If the King of Song wants Gong Jin to die, then I will just hit my head on this pillar and die. Why push me to that unkind and unjust thing?"
The top? As the saying goes, no one is perfect. The King of Song can recruit talented people. As long as he knows people well and uses them well, the King of Song can be a wise king."
"Brother Gongjin means..."
"At this time, the country cannot live 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 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.
