Ever since Paolao was erected in the main hall of Wu State, the whole court was in an uproar. Of course, those who discussed it could only discuss it in private, and no one dared to make a fuss to see Sun Quan. But Sun Quan stayed comfortably.
In the harem, I went to have sex with Miss Qin Cao.
The emperor is like this, and his ministers should follow suit. Officials in various places are no longer diligent, and all political affairs are almost abandoned. Facing various economic wars in the Tianlong Empire, the people are miserable, but the government is indifferent. With Jianye as a
For example, there are spiders in the government office, but no one is taking care of them, let alone other places.
Xue Zong and Bu Lu instantly became sycophants. Because they could talk, they also had the opportunity to meet Sun Quan. However, these two people never mentioned the hardships of the people and talked about the world of Wu.
Peace prevailed with singing and dancing, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment. Perhaps some good officials were still worried about the future of Wu, but not many. Lu Su was one of them.
After the court meeting that day, when he returned home, Lu Su was depressed. Soon he fell ill and was bedridden. There were still unflattering people who came to visit, but Lu Su always used illness as an excuse to stop seeing each other. Only Xu Sheng
is an exception. Among all the generals of the Wu Kingdom, Xu Sheng came from a humble background. Although he had great military exploits, he was not reused. He has remained a miscellaneous general for many years.
Lu Su held Xu Sheng's hand and burst into tears: "General! Our country of Wu has lost a lot of generals, otherwise it would have been annexed by Long Fei!"
"Don't worry, Commander-in-Chief, as long as I, Xu Sheng, live one day, I will never let the Dragon Army set foot in my country of Wu!" Xu Sheng was also a little excited, saying that he didn't know that he could never fulfill this promise.
Lu Su nodded repeatedly: "I will write to Your Majesty right now, asking the general to succeed me as the Governor after my death!"
"This..." Although Xu Sheng was a little happy in his heart, he also understood that there were so many children from the aristocratic families in front of him, and even if they all died, it would not be his turn: "Grand Governor, don't say depressing words, I have already said so many times.
Please invite our famous doctors, and the governor will recover soon."
Although Xu Sheng encouraged and supported him, the big tree was about to fall, and how could a small root hold it back? The big tree in Wu State was already seriously ill and riddled with holes. Apart from the rotten roots, Xu Sheng tried his best to hold it on.
Yes, of course there are guys who are pushing in the opposite direction. Those are the boys from the Zhang family.
After Zhang Cheng and Zhuge Jin secretly discussed in the secret room, his heart changed. His father's death situation kept spinning in front of his eyes, and the terrifying look showed what kind of torture he received when he died. As a son, this enemy
You must take revenge, and you must take revenge vigorously. Not only will your enemy repay you a thousand times, but you will also have to cut him into pieces.
When we returned to the mansion, it was already bright, and the sound of bells and drums in the court hall urged the courtiers to go to court. Zhang Fen smiled: "Sun Quan wants to go to court early today because the sun is shining in the west?"
Zhang Xiu looked outside: "Brother, are we going? If we want to go, wear a robe outside and soft armor inside, bring weapons, and avenge my father."
Zhang Cheng waved his hand: "No! Revenge requires a big revenge. Just killing Sun Quan is not considered revenge. Besides, our family members are still in the city. Once Sun Quan dies, his soldiers will definitely chase us. It doesn't matter if we die, there are so many of them."
Our family can’t suffer along with us!”
Zhang Xiu and Zhang Fen nodded repeatedly: "Big brother is still thoughtful. We all listen to big brother. Whatever big brother says, we will do what we do!"
Zhang Cheng called the two of them to his side and whispered a few words. Their eyes widened. Zhang Cheng looked at the two of them: "Are you scared?"
Zhang Xiu said: "What are you afraid of! Forget it, just do it! Kill one member of my family, and we will let all their heads fall to the ground!" According to Zhang Cheng's instructions, Zhang Xiu went to Xujikou to gather his troops and wait for Zhang Cheng's signal.
.And Zhang Fen immediately disguised himself and left the city, heading towards the bank of the Yangtze River.
Just one month after Zhang Zhao's death, Lu Su, the military commander of Wu State, also came to the end of his life. Due to his depression, he had been suffering from many famous doctors for many years, but nothing worked. He grabbed Xu Sheng's hand and held on.
After giving the last memorial to Sun Quan, he lay down on the desk and never got up. Lu Su followed Sun Quan for many years and made great contributions to Sun Quan's accession to the throne and the establishment of the Kingdom of Wu. When such a minister died, Sun Quan did not leave Fenglai Tower.
.
When Chang Shi brought in the news of Lu Su's death, Sun Quan was playing with Miss Qin Cao. The new song just composed by Sun Quan was named Yuanyang Fei. Chang Shi put the memorial in front of Sun Quan, and Sun Quan just said lightly.
: "I know, let's go out!" Then he continued to play with Qin Cao.
Seeing that Sun Quan, the founding emperor of the Wu Kingdom, who used to be heroic and resolute in the past, had changed into a weird and unpredictable personality in just one year, I felt sorry for him as an old slave who had served Sun Quan for decades.
Sun Quan didn't go, so other ministers naturally didn't dare to go. Some of the conscientious ones just waited until the dead of night and sneaked in, burned a stick of incense and then turned around and left. Sun Quan's intimidation of the cannon was so terrible that he could be said to have been frightened.
The courage of all officials.
Lu Su's son Lu Shu was only four years old. Seeing that there were very few condolences for his father, he asked his mother: "My father is a high-ranking official of the Wu Kingdom, why no one comes to express condolences? Does it mean that His Majesty does not trust his father? Since he does not trust his father, why should he still express his condolences?"
Why do you want your father to be the governor?"
Mrs. Liu could not answer her son's question and could only shed tears silently. The Lu family was a wealthy family. Although there were no condolences from His Majesty or the ministers, Lu Su's funeral was decent. Surprisingly, Lu Su's funeral was decent.
The day of the funeral happened to be Zhang Zhao's 100th anniversary. The two most influential ministers of Wu State both died within a hundred days of each other, which makes people sigh and feel a little regretful unconsciously.
After Lu Su's death, the issue of the commander-in-chief of Wu's armed forces was put on the agenda. Now the Dragon Army is eyeing Jiangdong. If there is no commander who can resist the Dragon Army, Wu will have to surrender. Everyone began to speculate in their hearts, speculating that Sun Quan would like it.
Who? In order to save their lives and lives, everyone unanimously kept silent on this matter, waiting for Sun Quan to speak.
On Lu Su's first seven days, Sun Quan came to court here, not for any other reason, but because he could have more time to spend time and wine. There was Lu Su's memorial in front of Sun Quan. For the first time, Sun Quan actually read Lu Su's memorial.
But his face was not good and he seemed very angry. Sun Quan threw the memorial to the ground fiercely: "Lu Su is also a learned and resourceful person. He leads the army on horseback and manages the people on horseback. Although he is not as powerful as Zhou Yu, his brother Zhong, he is not as powerful as Zhou Yu.
He was considered a hero of his generation, how could he be so confused when he died?"
There was silence in the main hall, and the copper pillars next to the charcoal fire creaked. Sun Quan continued: "Is Xu Sheng here?"
Xu Sheng stood up quickly. Sun Quan looked at him with disdain: "I heard that you were very diligent in going to the governor's house when he was seriously ill. Tell me honestly, is it because of your instigation that the governor recommended you for this memorial?
For the successor?"
Everyone looked at Xu Sheng, looking like they were gloating about his misfortune. Xu Sheng broke out in a cold sweat, and he quickly knelt down on the ground: "Your Majesty, you can see clearly that Wei Chen only admires the talent and learning of the Great Governor, and did not encourage the Great Governor to recommend Wei.
minister."
"Then how do you explain this memorial?" Sun Quan was obviously even more angry. He stood up from his seat, pointed at the memorial and roared.
Xu Sheng had nothing to say, and he knew that even if he said it, Sun Quan would not believe it. Seeing that Xu Sheng did not speak, Sun Quan meant that Xu Sheng acquiesced, and his anger hit the roof: "Come on! Take this Xu Sheng down with me.
, twenty lashes!"
Soldiers came in and dragged Xu Sheng out of the door. Xu Sheng should be lucky that he would not be burned to death. However, these twenty whips were not light, and shouts came from outside the palace. Sun Quan seemed to feel relieved now.
Angry in his heart, he said calmly: "After the death of the Grand Governor, our Wu army must be without a commander. I intend to appoint Fenwei General Zhang Cheng as the Grand Governor. What do you all think?"
As soon as Sun Quan finished speaking, Bu Lu hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, General Fenwei is the son of an old minister of our Kingdom of Wu. He is very loyal to the center of our Kingdom of Wu. He is also a tiger general of our Kingdom of Wu. If he is appointed as the Governor, he will definitely be able to block the situation."
Dragon Army, guard the land and bring peace to the people."
Xue Zong also said: "Yes, General Fenwei is capable of both literary and military skills. He is a rare talent in our country of Wu. He is also young and promising. Your Majesty is really a wise man!"
The ministers began to flatter Sun Quan one after another, and Sun Quan was all smiles when he said so, and the matter was settled. To be honest, the main reason why Sun Quan appointed Zhang Cheng as the governor was to pay off his debts. Before he burned Zhang to death
Regarding Zhao's matter, Sun Quan still felt a little guilty. Zhang Cheng was not a useless person, so this time Sun Quan made such a choice.
Zhang Cheng stayed at home because of his filial piety. When Chang Shi appeared at the door of Zhang's house with the imperial edict, Zhang Xiu actually ordered the door to be closed. Chang Shi was a little impatient. He also felt sad about Zhang Zhao's death and faced the difficulties of the Zhang family.
, Chang Shi could only shake his head and smile bitterly, who made his master do something wrong? He sent someone to knock for half an hour, and Zhang Cheng opened the middle door himself.
The Zhang Mansion is clean and tidy, and a regular attendant has been here once. Walking towards the main house, he said with a smile: "General Zhang! This old slave has brought good news, great news!"
He said, while shaking the imperial edict in his hand.
Zhang Cheng looked calm and followed Chang Shi in a polite manner: "Sir, please take a seat! Come and serve tea!"
When he learned that His Majesty wanted him to be the Grand Governor, Zhang Cheng's heart skipped a beat. Looking at the imperial edict in Chang Shi's hand, Zhang Cheng sneered in his heart. He arranged the incense table, bathed and changed clothes, and the whole family, men, women, old and young, knelt down in the courtyard.
, Chang Shi read out the imperial edict. Zhang Cheng asked someone to give two gold coins as a thank you gift to Chang Shi. After sending Chang Shi off, Zhang Cheng took Zhang Xiu back to his room.
As soon as he entered the door, Zhang Xiu kept grinning: "Brother, this is a good thing! This is Sun Quan's own death, and we can't be blamed!"
Zhang Cheng's eyes were cold and he said calmly: "Do you have any news about Brother Fen? As soon as his news arrives, we will take action immediately!" Zhang Cheng clenched his teeth and seemed to crush the imperial edict in his hand.
