Chapter 1037: Without a mole, Sun Quan is not having a good time now
There are no moles. The people standing around Zhou Yu's bed now: Sun Quan, Lu Su, Pan Zhang, and Zhou Tai are the last few people who still believe in Zhou Yu.
Therefore, no matter what Zhou Yu says now, he will not be interrupted.
"How's it going outside..."
Zhou Yu trembled his lips slightly, and if he spoke out of breath, no one would be able to hear him clearly unless they were close enough.
Sun Quan lay nervously in front of the bed, listening very carefully to every word Zhou Yu said, for fear that whatever he said would be his last words.
"Outside? Oh...outside...it's not chaotic anymore...a few days ago there were always some young people spreading rumors...I have already dispatched officers and soldiers..."
Sun Quan thought Zhou Yu was talking about the riots and rumors after the marriage. If this is the case... Sun Quan's explanation is correct. He did send out troops, but the effect was...
Zhou Yu shook his head in pain. Just this action made him cough violently. Lu Su on the side quickly came to the side and handed over the cloth. Zhou Yu helped Sun Quan slightly and lifted up his body.
Crazy cough——
A moment later... Zhou Yu, who was even more depressed than before, lay down dying, and the clean cloth handkerchief had already been stained red by the blood coughed up by Zhou Yu...
Seeing this scene, Pan Zhang and Zhou Tailian on the side wanted to die.
Especially Zhou Tai, a man who is eight feet tall, has a mournful look on his face, and his fleshy facial features are wrinkled together, which is funny and pitiful at the same time:
"It's all...it's all my fault...if...if we could have found out earlier that that kid Lu Xun had evil intentions and had turned to the enemy..."
Afterwards, Zhou Tai didn't have the courage to continue speaking at all, so he could only slap himself in the face as if he was giving up on himself.
Pan Zhang hesitated to speak, a look of helplessness appeared on his face. If Zhou Tai said it true, he actually had the same fault - the key... Pan Zhang blamed himself for more than this.
"Captain...I'm sorry...I...I didn't really want to abandon you at that time...but the situation...I...I..."
Everyone had unwillingness on their faces, and no one dared to recall what happened that day. Judging from the results, they were completely defeated, and if you look back at the process... they were simply toyed with applause from the beginning to the end.
Medium——How can this be described with a tragic word?
But obviously... Zhou Yu no longer cares about this.
He raised his weak and thin arms and waved them less than half a foot away from the bed, probably to stop Zhou Tai and Pan Zhang from blaming themselves.
"Now...how are you outside?"
He repeated his question again. Lu Su finally understood what Zhou Yu meant and responded quickly:
"Zhang Zhao, Gu Yong and others returned to the court... Lu Xun won the support of the young and strong officials with his outspoken behavior that day. Zhu Huan... Zhu Huan took the military power in his hands and refused on the grounds of special treatment in special times.
The lord’s request to command the army, but...he doesn’t seem to be completely on the same side as Lu Xun and others.”
"But all in all... the situation in the upper dynasty is currently completely controlled by the four surnames - the only thing that still remains in suspense is probably the dominant position of the civil and military factions..."
"After the Governor... was arrested, the literary faction recommended Lu Xun as your successor, while the military faction, headed by Zhu Huan, is striving to bring Lu Meng back to power."
"My lord, these past few days have been... quite difficult."
Speaking of this, Lu Su's expression was extremely solemn - without Zhou Yu, no one in the government would be willing to stand on Sun Quan's side.
Today, Sun Quan is only a nominal lord. Whether he can even retain his position as lord depends on whether Zhang Zhao, Zhu Huan and others are willing to give him this face.
"Captain...we...what should we do...we...do we really never have another chance?"
They were all close officials that Sun Ce valued very much. Zhou Tai was dragged out of the quagmire by Sun Ce. These people basically inherited Sun Ce's will. But because of this, after Sun Ce crossed the river, the internal affairs of the team
This ushered in a far-reaching blending.
It can be said that when crossing the Yangtze River, everyone was able to work together to completely conquer Jiangdong. However, after Jiangdong was pacified and the rule was stabilized, the originally mixed team inevitably split.
The faction headed by the four surnames of Wujun, the faction dominated by the old Xuzhou tribe, the faction dominated by the remnants of Sun Jian's tribe, and a small number of talents from Jingzhou and other surrounding areas.
Most people in these factions were not convinced by Sun Quan.
They were able to temporarily form a team because of Sun Ce's ability and charisma.
Essentially, at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, when the clan system was almost collapsed, Sun Quan, the second generation ancestor, really did not have the absolute ability to keep these people alive.
In this case, it would be a wise choice not to believe Sun Quan.
And the reason why Sun Quan was able to get along with various factions openly after that, and even fought a brilliant battle in Chibi, was ultimately because of the existence of Zhou Yu, who was Sun Ce's right-hand man.
People believe in Sun Quan just because Sun Quan can command and move Zhou Yu, and Zhou Yu's ability has been tested by time and facts. This is cruel, but it is also very realistic.
But now - first of all, the marriage was exposed, and Zhou Yu insisted on going his own way, using power for personal gain, and even avenging private revenge, which to some extent revealed the creation of a rift between Sun Quan and Zhou Yu.
Of course, Sun Quan later understood that he had wrongly blamed Zhou Yu. He was confused for a moment and even forgot that he was clearly the person involved in the plan. He was fooled around by the other party's realistic lies. However, this is not the key. If it was only a temporary mistake, there would be a chance.
Of course Sun Quan can vindicate Zhou Yu, and the gap between them can be repaired, but the problem is that the previous discussions and handling were all conducted under top-secret circumstances.
Most of the vacillating officials at the top have no knowledge of this part of the hidden truth.
This resulted in that even if Sun Quan realized that the other party was lying, he would have no chance to prove Zhou Yu's innocence in a short time.
As a result, the opponent took advantage of this and went after Sun Quan and Zhou Yu's weaknesses to blast them.
The method is very simple, in fact, it relies on rumors, but at this time, when no one refutes, this is the most effective and efficient way.
