Sun Quan was currently spending time in the house -
Unlike how he behaved calmly in front of outsiders, he was now clearly in a state of tension and anxiety.
Lu Xun, Lu Su and others who were sitting not far in front of him seemed much more relaxed.
In fact, now not only in Wujun City, but also in the entire Danyang, the so-called vote to select the Lord of Jiangdong has become increasingly louder.
This was naturally inseparable from the efforts of Lu Su and others who had not returned to Wu County for a long time.
In the past half month, Lu Su, Pan Zhang and Zhou Tai had made sufficient preparations in various places in Jiangdong. Only in this way could people see the current excitement of the crowd, which even Zhang Zhao had to pay attention to.
situation.
only--
As the real canvassing for votes was about to begin, Sun Quan was indeed nervous.
"My lord, you don't need to be nervous. Isn't it just for this moment that you trained so hard some time ago?"
"Since my lord has a clear conscience, why should he be afraid that Zhang Zhao will win?"
Lu Su stroked his beard, looked at the anxious Sun Quan, and spoke to comfort him.
Lu Xun on the side also smiled and said:
"Yes, the reason why Zhang Zhao has been silent these past few days is probably because he is asking Liu Bei and the others for help, right?"
"But after all, we are taking a preemptive strike. As long as today passes and Zhang Zhao has not come, regardless of us, even the people will feel that Zhang Zhao has been defeated."
"The more Zhang Zhao dared not show up, the more inexplicable the people's anger towards them became."
"In the end, if Zhang Zhao dares to use the army, then we will have a reputation as a master, and naturally we don't need to be afraid of him."
"So my lord, there is nothing to worry about. As long as you keep your spirits up and maintain your high spirits in the next few days, our plan will be foolproof."
After Lu Xun finished speaking, Sun Quan finally stopped.
But when he turned to look at Lu Xun, his eyes didn't seem to have eliminated his worries.
"What's the use of saying this? It's not like you stand in front of everyone and preach-"
"Do you know what I'm most worried about?"
Sun Quan said angrily. The group of guys in front of him were all standing and talking, which made Sun Quan feel very dizzy.
"Oh? My lord, do you have any other concerns?"
The person speaking now was not Lu Xun, but Lu Ji, who had just walked in from the door.
The Lu family is the only prominent family supporting Sun Quan today, and Lu Xun and Lu Ji are the pillars of it.
These days, Lu Xun often plays a role in making suggestions, and it is Lu Ji who directs the specific actions of what plans everyone wants to implement in Wu County.
At this point, we can already see Lu's attitude of betting on Sun Quan.
However... even when Lu Ji appeared, Sun Quan's mood did not improve. He only said in annoyance:
"Gong Ji, you are here at the right time. Let me ask you, has the high platform for tomorrow's lecture been inspected? Are there any hidden dangers?"
"Go back to my lord, the high platform has been set up a long time ago. Just waiting for you to perform on the stage tomorrow, we can..."
Of course, Lu Ji was very reliable. During these years, Lu Xun served as an official in the general's mansion, while Lu Ji took care of all kinds of chores at home.
When it comes to mobilizing manpower and concentrating on work, Lu Ji naturally does his part.
"It's not these... it's... haven't you heard, heard..."
Sun Quan's eyelids trembled, and he said angrily:
"Someone is trying to assassinate me! Aren't you worried about this??"
Sun Quan was crying when he spoke. Judging from his hysterical appearance, he was really afraid of being killed with a knife.
Moreover, as Sun Quan said, their previous voting activities were in full swing, with a large number of people participating. In just a few days, the number of votes distributed by everyone has roughly reached 200,000.
threshold.
This does not include data from remote places such as Yuzhang and Lujiang.
It can be said that their mobilization operation this time was quite successful.
The power generated by gathering such a number of votes really puts the other four surnames in Wu County to shame.
They could not imagine that the timid people who were usually bullied and humiliated by them would actually be ignited with the desire to resist just by Sun Quan's few lectures.
Especially... especially on the eve of the canvassing stage, even many people with extremely high consciousness did not need the support of Lu Xun and others. They spontaneously began to denounce Zhang Zhao and others who did nothing.
The power of the people is powerful.
No one will doubt this.
However...the reason is that in this era, in many cases, people do not dare to initiate such a large-scale plan to incite public dissatisfaction.
The reason is very simple, just one word - law.
Therefore, if the country cannot be governed, it will lead to chaos; if one abides by the law but fails to change, it will lead to rebellion. Things like law are often the rules and systems that people have accumulated and summarized over several generations before they can become more and more perfect.
It's true that it's not as good as it is too much, but in troubled times - things like Dharma have long since collapsed along with rituals and music.
In other words, it may not be illegal to incite public opinion, but you must always be wary of counterattacks from the other party that do not comply with the law.
Because that's how troubled times are.
The so-called steelyard to measure the morality in people's hearts is itself a false proposition. The feuding of princes and the rise of heroes actually make it impossible for the legal system to be implemented.
So Sun Quan's concerns are not a problem at all.
On the contrary, it was Lu Xun, Lu Su and other talents who were still calm and composed now that made Sun Quan speechless the most.
"Hasn't any of you thought about this?"
"I was just walking on the road and heard a lot of rumors - I would rather believe that they exist than believe that they don't exist. If I die, wouldn't everything be over?"
Sun Quan was anxious, but even if he behaved like this, Lu Su and others sitting not far away were still not too anxious.
"Have you ever heard of Duke Huan, my lord?"
"Huan Gong? Which Huan Gong?"
Lu Xun suddenly smiled, which made Sun Quan unable to react for a moment.
"It's not that we are unprepared, but this matter cannot be disclosed at will until the critical moment."
"There is no use worrying about whether the other party will assassinate him now, because before that, it is not certain whether Zhang Zhao will participate in this election. If he really dares to go against the people, tomorrow's lord will not need to come forward at all.
"
"Of course, we will not neglect to ensure the safety of the lord. However, the secret must not be leaked. We cannot let the lord know what we have prepared now, otherwise it will only have the opposite effect."
Lu Su also echoed from the side. In fact, for the sake of reminding Sun Quan, Sun Quan should have known what the two of them meant, but now his mind really has no space to think about other things.
