Lu Yin and Yang Zhu were imprisoned, and these two were the close guests of the Crown Prince and King Lu respectively.
Sun Quan issued an edict. After scolding the two sons, he issued another ban, telling them to concentrate on studying and not to interact with guests.
This ban was not bad for King Lu.
After all, living outside the palace, as long as you find a way, you will always have the opportunity to see your confidants.
But the prince living in the palace is different.
Wanting to meet the guests under Sun Quan's nose is like going to the tiger's den and touching the tiger's butt.
Moreover, in the eyes of the prince's party, His Majesty seems to be fighting fifty-fifty, but in fact he is leaning towards King Lu.
Not to mention that even if they really fight fifty times each, the prince will still suffer a big loss - he is the prince, the prince, and the foundation of the country, how can he be treated together with the prince?
Zhu Ju, who was originally worried that Lu Yin would not be able to hold on in prison and implicated the prince, now learned of his majesty's decision, could no longer hold back.
If Lu Yin really couldn't survive the torture in prison, then the prince would really have no chance.
Zhu Ju felt that he had to do something before that.
So he joined forces with the Crown Prince Wu Can, the Minister Pu She Qu Huang, the Superintendent of Wu Nan Chen Zheng, the Superintendent of the Fifth Battalion Chen Xiang and other ministers and generals to submit a letter.
I once again begged Sun Quan to clarify the distinction between direct descendants and concubines, and lift the prince's ban as soon as possible to reassure people.
It's just that the petition, which seemed so powerful, fell into the sea like a stone after being sent to the palace, without even making a splash.
Zhu Ju saw that Sun Quan was indifferent to the advice of him and others, so he asked to enter the palace to see him.
The palace ban was already heavily guarded, and after the palace ban conversation was leaked, Sun Quan vigorously strengthened the guarding and management of the palace ban.
Unless Sun Quan issued an edict and wanted to summon the ministers, it would be impossible for the ministers to see the emperor who was recuperating in the palace.
Not to mention that Sun Quan didn't even need to meet Zhu Zhi and others to know what they wanted to say and do.
What is the difference between direct concubine and concubine?
Do I really want to listen to you and understand the difference between concubine and concubine so early, so that you Jiangdong aristocratic families can control Wu for generations and treat the Sun family as a puppet?
Then what’s the point of me deliberately provoking a dispute between concubines and concubines?
Thinking of this, and then thinking of the main members of the prince's party, Sun Quan's face became even more gloomy.
"His Majesty!"
Just when Sun Quan was furious, the voice of the palace servant interrupted his thoughts.
"What's the matter?"
Sun Quan asked impatiently.
The memorial was sent to the palace by a special person. Except for a few ministers who needed to be summoned for business, he had already asked the guards at the palace gate to block all the ministers who wanted to see him from the palace gate.
He just wanted to have some peace and quiet, but he didn't expect the palace man to be so indifferent, which made him feel inexplicably irritable.
If you dare to disturb me like this if you have nothing to do, I want to see how many lives these servants have?
Facing Sun Quan's cold and unhappy gaze, the palace man couldn't help but tremble.
Ever since he started cultivating immortality with Mrs. Pan, His Majesty's temper has become more and more erratic, especially in the past year or so, some palace guests have been disappearing inexplicably.
Even the old people in the palace sometimes inadvertently angered His Majesty and were killed with a stick.
This situation not only happened in the palace where His Majesty lived, but also happened to Mrs. Pan.
Mrs. Pan also had a very bad temper, and would often punish palace residents at every turn, which made people tremble with fear and complain at the same time.
(Note: There are two rumors about Mrs. Pan’s death in history. One is that she often abused the palace people, and the palace people could not bear the abuse, so she was hanged after Sun Quan’s death)
Many people say that His Majesty became like this just because he and Mrs. Pan cultivated together.
Just when the palace man was frightened out of his mind by Sun Quan's eyes, he heard an angry shout from above, interrupting his random thoughts:
"Dog slave, I'm asking you something, why don't you answer it?"
The palace man subconsciously weakened his knees and crouched on the ground and replied:
"Your Majesty, there is someone knocking on the door outside the palace."
"叩que?"
Sun Quan was already extremely irritable, but when he heard the word "叩que" again, his heart boiled with anger:
"Knocking que, knocking que! You know knocking que! Who is knocking que?"
How many times has this happened?
How many times has it happened!
As soon as I didn't listen to their advice, I would go outside the palace gate and knock on the door.
Sun Quan couldn't lie down any longer: "Someone, please dress me!"
After putting on his clothes, he angrily walked out. The palace people behind him ran all the way and could hardly keep up with him.
After boarding the Baijue Temple and looking towards the high gate of Baihumen, I saw many people kneeling under the gate.
"Who takes the lead? Who are they?"
"Your Majesty, it's General Hussar and my Grand Tutor who are leading the charge."
He replied left and right, and then read out the ministers who followed him.
The more Sun Quan listened, the more disgust and revulsion appeared on his face.
Where do they kowtow here?
This is simply forcing the palace!
I'm not dead yet, you guys really want to show off in front of the prince?
Do you want to make me angry to death before I fulfill your wishes?
Suppressing his anger, Sun Quan ordered his left and right:
"Send someone to go and tell them that I take matters into my own hands and don't need them to worry about the prince's affairs. Let them go back to their respective homes."
"Here!"
I thought that after I issued the edict, the officials outside the palace would disperse.
Unexpectedly, Sun Quan only saw the commotion among the officials outside for a while, but refused to leave.
"what happened?"
In the hot summer, it is easy for people to get angry.
These days, Sun Quan has become quite angry.
Although he was standing in the shade, when he saw the ministers outside, Sun Quan suddenly felt hot and depressed all over his body, and his anger began to rise again.
Xiao Huangmen, who went out to deliver the edict, quickly ran back sweating profusely, and at the same time brought back a piece of news that made Sun Quan shocked and angry:
"Your Majesty, General Zhu and my Grand Tutor have smeared their faces with mud, tied themselves up, and asked to see the Crown Prince!"
"What? What did you say!"
When Sun Quan heard the news, his eyes widened in disbelief. He felt like his head was banging and his ears were ringing.
The news coming back from Xiaohuangmen was like thunder, making him dumbfounded.
Deathly quiet.
After a long time, Sun Quan laughed nervously:
"These are my ministers who serve the country! What a bunch of loyal ministers and good generals!"
After laughing for a while, Sun Quan stopped laughing, and then an angry voice sounded:
"Where are they? They are forcing me! They are forcing me to have a palace!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone around him hurriedly prostrated on the ground, and some palace people were even trembling.
"No wonder! No wonder! It's something dogs won't eat!"
Sun Quan cursed a few more times, then opened his mouth and his chest rose and fell rapidly, as if he had difficulty breathing.
The world was spinning, and Sun Quan had to close his eyes and press his hands tightly on his chest.
He only felt that his chest was about to burst, and then he held his head in his hands, twitching all over because of extreme disgust and anger.
No wonder he asked the prince to go to the Ancestral Temple to worship on his behalf. The prince actually dared to take the opportunity to go to the Zhang family. Did he really want to discuss important matters?
Sun Quan's face was already a little distorted, and his thoughts were surging like a tide.
At first I didn't quite believe it.
Today it seems that what Dahu (that is, Princess Quan) said is all true!
If it hadn't been for what happened today, I wouldn't have known that the prince was already so powerful!
The more Sun Quan thought about it, the chills ran down his back and his anger surged to the sky.
Angry and angry, coupled with the dual cultivation, the Emperor of Wu State became increasingly unable to control his emotions.
At this time, he had already lost his mind. He opened his eyes suddenly, gritted his teeth and said:
"The Crown Prince and Grand Tutor Wu Can, deceived the officials, disobeyed the holy will, and had evil intentions. He summoned the minister to be imprisoned and tortured severely!"
"Supervisor Chen Zheng without difficulty, and Supervisor Chen Xiang of the Fifth Battalion, did not want to serve the country, but resorted to selfish motives. The crime is unpardonable, and the officers were summoned to raid his home and barbarize him!"
Having said this, Sun Quan stared fixedly at the outside of the palace.
If you weren't my son-in-law...
Sun Quan thought bitterly and continued to issue an edict:
"Go and drag General Hussar and Shu Pushe into the palace with a hundred sticks!"
If you like rope bondage, then I will satisfy you!
Not only will I tie you up, I will also whip you so that you will remember it for a long time.
After issuing the edict, after a while, I saw the palace door suddenly opened, and a group of guards like wolves and tigers rushed out.
After the emperor's edict was announced at the Xiaohuang Gate, the guards in the palace dragged and escorted the leading ministers away.
The remaining ones who were not named by Sun Quan were beaten and dispersed by the guards with sticks.
What happened in front of Baihu Gate shocked both the government and the public.
Even Lu Yi, who seemed to have nothing to do with the incident, was so frightened that he couldn't sit still after learning the news.
Originally, he sent a greeting note to Mi Shiyilang, intending to come to ask for advice at an agreed time, so that he would appear respectful and solemn.
Unexpectedly, such a big thing happened before the agreed time came. He could no longer calm down and ran directly to Mi Shiyilang's yard.
As soon as they met, he quickly shouted: "Mi Langjun, it's urgent! Please ask me for advice!"
Mi Shiyilang obviously hasn't gotten the news yet.
After all, no matter how infiltrated the Xinghan Society is, it is impossible for news like this to arrive faster than the school affairs office.
Inviting Lu Yi to sit down, Mi Shiyilang was still in the mood to pour him a cup of tea:
"What happened to Lu Zhongshu that made him so flustered? Just tell him slowly."
"Can't slow down!"
Running over on a hot day, Lu Yi was really thirsty. He raised his glass and drank it all in one gulp. Then he wiped his mouth and was about to speak when he subconsciously looked around.
Mi Shiyilang's heart skipped a beat when he saw him like this.
This is really something!
Quickly scroll back and forth.
Probably because he was really thirsty, Lu Yi poured himself another cup of tea and took a big sip. When he saw everyone retreating, he told what happened in front of the White Tiger Gate of the palace.
Although Mi Shiyilang had long expected that something big would happen in the dispute between the two palaces of Wu State.
But he never thought that Sun Quan would be the first to do such a big thing.
The ministers were dragged into the palace to be tortured with canes, and even imprisoned directly. They also had the guards in the palace violently drive away the ministers...
Exciting! This is really exciting!
Mi Shiyilang's eyes widened and he simply couldn't believe what he heard.
If something like this happened in front of Weiyang Palace...
Tsk tsk!
Lu Yi didn't care that Mi Shiyilang didn't come back to his senses for a long time. He drank the remaining tea in the cup in one gulp and asked anxiously:
"Mi Langjun, do you think His Majesty really wants to support King Lu to ascend to the throne?"
Seeing that His Majesty this time, not only did he eliminate most of the ministers who supported the prince.
Even from Lu Yi's point of view, this was almost an expression of His Majesty's attitude towards the Crown Prince - this was the most important thing.
So after Lu Yi got the news, he didn't dare to wait for a moment.
Mi Shiyilang blinked and at the same time quietly closed his mouth that was open due to too much fear.
He forced himself to calm down and tried hard to clear his mind.
However, the impact of this incident was really too shocking. Mi Shiyilang sat there blankly, unable to completely turn his mind around for a while.
Lu Yi called out a few more times, and Mi Shiyilang finally came back to his senses and smiled apologetically:
"What Lu Zhongshu said made someone feel uneasy and couldn't come to his senses for a while. Don't blame me, don't blame me!"
Seeing Mi Shiyilang's reaction, Lu Yi understood and said with a wry smile:
"When I first heard about this, I felt uneasy."
Then he continued the previous question:
"What I'm worried about now is, what does your majesty mean by this? Could it be that you really want to depose the crown prince and establish King Lu?"
If His Majesty is really like this, then what is the point of him and others trying to support His Majesty the Seventh Prince?
"Don't be anxious, Lu Zhongshu. With such a major event happening, Lord Wu's dissatisfaction with the prince is obvious, but..."
At this time, Mi Shiyilang had regained his composure, but he pretended to ponder for a moment, "But if we really want to say that King Lu's situation has been decided, then that's not necessarily the case."
"Oh?" What Lu Yi needs most at this time is for Mi Shiyilang to help him build up his confidence. When he heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, "What do you think, Mi Langjun? Please teach me!"
I have a damn good idea!
Mi Shiyilang, who looked like an old god on the surface, was actually panicking in his heart.
Could it be that something really went wrong as my brother expected?
No matter how you look at the current situation, it looks like Sun Quan wants to depose Sun He and establish Sun Ba.
Wouldn't it mean that so much effort was put into laying it out in vain?
Thinking of this in his mind, Mi Shiyilang's forehead started to sweat a little.
His mind was spinning, but he said forcefully:
"If King Lu has not established him as the crown prince, the overall situation cannot be said to be settled."
"Don't forget, Lu Zhongshu, that some of King Lu's confidants are also imprisoned!"
"Also, the person who supports the prince, the one with the highest status, has not shown up yet."
Lu Yi immediately reacted: "Lu Boyan?"
"Exactly." Mi Shiyilang nodded, and his thoughts followed suit, "Lu Boyan has a great reputation in the government and the public. There are so many disciples and former officials in the army of the government and the government."
"If Lord Wu really wants to depose the prince, he must convince Lu Boyan. Lu Zhongshu, do you think so or not?"
"This..." Lu Yi was speechless for a moment. There seemed to be something wrong with what he said, but for a moment, he felt that it made some sense.
"But Mi Langjun, even if this is the case, the matter is urgent. If your Majesty really wants to establish King Lu, it will be too late."
"Don't be anxious, don't be anxious," Mi Shiyilang consoled him, "Wu Lord has no intention of establishing King Lu, just wait and see what will happen next. No matter how anxious Lu Zhongshu is now, it is useless."
If Sun Quan is really optimistic about Sun Ba, then by this time, it may be too late to change his mind, and we can only worry about it later.
"Just looking at it?"
"Yes, wait and see what happens." Mi Shiyilang lowered his voice, "Watch what the general will do, what will happen to Yang Zhu and Lu Yin, and then you can get a glimpse of Lord Wu's intention!"
After receiving such a suggestion, Lu Yi had no other choice but to say goodbye with a heavy heart.
After Lu Yi left, Mi Shiyilang, who had been confidently giving advice to Lu Zhongshu, immediately shot up like a fire.
Spread the paper, grind the ink, and move the pen like a snake...
Then glue on the chicken feathers and stick on the red paper.
"Send back to Chang'an immediately!"
"Here!"
The envoy from the Xinghan Society who was sent here knew exactly what the red chicken-feather letter represented, and he accepted it seriously.
After listening to Mi Shiyilang's suggestion, Lu Yi went back to wait anxiously for the news. The next day, he received thunderous news:
"Lu Zhongshu, the Grand Tutor is dead."
"Prince Taifu Wu Can?"
"Exactly."
Wu Cancai was arrested and imprisoned, and then died suddenly. Who would believe that there was no hidden secret?
The prince and tutor are already dead, so wouldn’t the prince...
Just when Lu Yi was in confusion, another news came:
"Lu Zhongshu, there is news from prison that Yang Zhu has confessed."
I dare not say it elsewhere, but the school affairs office, which was originally responsible for supervising all officials, personally arrested many people and imprisoned them in the early years.
Therefore, in prison, you can still have some eyes and ears.
Lu Yi, who was in Ma Zhao, was suddenly confused: "Yang Zhu confessed?"
Isn’t Yang Zhu a confidant of King Lu?
If Yang Zhu pleads guilty, doesn't it mean that King Lu will be implicated?
That, that...
The situation turned again, leaving Lu Yi stunned and unable to react.
Then, more exciting news came:
His Majesty's health improved, and when he went to court for the first time, he once again reprimanded the general in public.
And this time, instead of simply reprimanding him, he listed the crimes that Yang Zhu had confessed to in prison. There were actually twenty crimes on it that were related to the general.
Lu Xun, who had also been claiming to be ill at home and went to court for the first time, did not expect that before Yang Zhu died, he would bite him back like this, and it would bite him to the bone.
However, his nephew Lu Yin remained silent in prison, concealing the fact that the prince eavesdropped on the conversation between his majesty and Yang Zhu.
This left Lu Xun with no way to defend himself on this matter.
Shocked, angry, angry and furious, Lu Xun was scolded so much that he vomited a mouthful of blood and fainted on the spot.
It's messed up, everything is messed up...
Facing the situation that changed three times a day, Lu Yi had no way to deal with it. He was at a loss and subconsciously came to Mi Shiyilang's small courtyard again.
Unexpectedly, Mi Shiyilang actually raised his hand to him:
"Congratulations to Lu Zhongshu, great things are expected!"
Brother’s knowledge of things... is really amazing!
