Farmer of Shu Han

"Chen Zhu, I would like to pay my respects to Your Majesty. May Your Majesty live long and be happy forever!"

As soon as Yang Zhu entered Sun Quan's palace, he didn't raise his head, just crawled down and shouted respectfully.

Sun Quan, who was half up and sitting on the couch, looked a little dazed when he heard Yang Zhu's words.

Long live the eternity, and long happiness is yet to come?

Is there really a thousand years in this world?

Today, although he still needs to rest and cannot stay for long periods of time, his condition has improved significantly compared to two or three months ago.

The reason why the prince was asked to go to the ancestral temple to pray was because Sun Quan was already seriously ill at that time and was even mentally prepared to prepare for his funeral.

Unexpectedly, after the incident at the ancestral temple, his condition actually improved slightly.

While this made Sun Quan happy, he was also frightened by the feeling of dying when he was seriously ill.

This made him more and more afraid of death.

This fear even caused the prince to take a back seat to conspiracies with his ministers.

The horror between life and death, Sun Quan never wants to try again.

If you don’t want to die, then you have to live forever.

Fortunately, Sun Quan thought he had seen a little hope for the way to immortality.

Especially after this serious illness, Sun Quan felt that he had to send people to Funan as soon as possible to find more clues.

For a long time, there was no response from Sun Quan, which made Yang Zhu feel a little nervous.

Since His Majesty became ill, many things have happened, which has caused His Majesty's temper to become weird and unpredictable, and he often loses his temper for no reason.

I heard that during this period, the people in the palace were very nervous, fearing that a single oversight would lead to trouble, and life or death could be unpredictable.

Thinking of this, Yang Zhu carefully recalled the details after he came in.

Make sure there are no errors.

Then why hasn't His Majesty gotten up yet?

Is it because he is too close to King Lu?

still……

I remembered that before I met His Majesty, the Prince happened to meet His Majesty.

Yang Zhu's heart sank.

Could it be that the prince said something?

Just when Yang Zhu was trembling and thinking wildly, a voice like fairy music finally came from above:

"rise."

When Yang Zhu heard this, he quickly said gratefully:

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

He tried to get up, but stumbled again.

It turned out that my legs were weak and I couldn't stabilize my body for a while.

After finally regaining his balance, Yang Zhu apologized in a low voice in embarrassment:

"I have lost my composure, Your Majesty, please forgive me."

Sun Quan's eyes fell on Yang Zhu, who had always lowered his head, flickering a little.

Yang Zhu felt his legs shaking slightly again.

Although he now seeks refuge with Sun Ba, King of Lu, he was actually promoted by Sun Quan.

Even because of his early reputation, he was admired by Sun Quan.

His current fear stems from this.

Sun Quan was not displeased at first when he got close to King Lu. In his opinion, this might even be His Majesty's tacit approval.

So this was his confidence when facing the prince and his party.

But after so many things, Yang Zhu was no longer sure what His Majesty would think.

"Why do you lose your composure? Am I so scary?"

After a long time, His Majesty's voice finally came.

Yang Zhu secretly breathed out a breath and quickly replied:

"After hearing His Majesty's voice and knowing that His Majesty is no longer in serious trouble, I was so excited that I couldn't help myself."

Sun Quan smiled and his voice became more relaxed and gentle:

"You do know how to talk."

At this time, Yang Zhu completely relaxed and regained his usual quick thinking.

"Every word I say comes from the bottom of my heart. Since Your Majesty has been in bed these days, our country in Wu seems to be peaceful on the surface, but in fact it is very uneasy."

Only then did Yang Zhu dare to raise his head, his face showing both joy and worry.

I am happy that His Majesty's condition has improved, but I am worried about the chaos that may break out at any time in Da Wu.

"It was precisely because His Majesty was not in charge of state affairs that Xiao Xiao had thoughts that he shouldn't have. Now it's okay. Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, and he has God's blessing, and Wu has its own good fortune."

Xiaoxiao had thoughts that she shouldn't have...

It seems to be intentional, but it is fact.

At least in Sun Quan's eyes, this is the fact.

Sun Quan seemed to be touched by Yang Zhu's words. His eyes flashed again, and then he suddenly ordered:

"You all get out."

These words were spoken to the people around him and those serving in the palace, naturally excluding Yang Zhu.

After everyone retreated, Sun Quan looked at Yang Zhu and said slowly:

"You have been friends with King Lu for a long time. I once heard that King Lu even regarded you as a close friend and talked about everything."

Sun Quan's voice was very soft, probably because his condition was not fully recovered yet, so he was a little weak.

But when Yang Zhu heard it, it was like thunder, and he started to tremble with fear.

Although he did not dare to raise his head to look at His Majesty, Yang Zhu could feel a sharp gaze staring at him.

The owner of the gaze holds the power of life and death.

Even if the other person is ill, his life and death are only determined by the other person's thoughts.

"Your Majesty, minister..."

Yang Zhu subconsciously wanted to defend himself, but he had such a great reputation when he was young and was valued by Sun Quan, so he was certainly not a stupid person.

Just when he was about to speak out his defense, a flash of inspiration flashed through his heart.

I was promoted by His Majesty, and I have been with King Lu from the beginning. His Majesty has tacitly approved it from the beginning to the end.

If His Majesty changes his mind and directly condemns the crime, why should everyone be screened out?

Catching this vague thought in time, Yang Zhu's heart started beating violently.

At this moment, he made a bet:

"I believe that the King of Lu is a man of great civility and military prowess, and possesses both political integrity and talent. His talent far exceeds that of your Majesty's disciples."

"The King of Lu Fu once said: The King of Lu was very virtuous and possessed both civil and military skills. The envoy of the Sheep Governor also had the same words: Virtue lies within, and it is known as external Zhao."

"This person, King Fu of Lu, has always been pure and honest, has no personal interests, and is upright. Your Majesty has repeatedly praised him as a person, so his words will definitely not be false."

King Fu of Lu was Shi Yi. When the school affairs office was extremely powerful, Lu Yi, the school secretary, falsely accused Diao Jia, the former governor of Jiangxia, and slandered the state affairs.

Quan was angry and took Jia into prison, where he inspected and asked.

At that time, everyone sitting together was frightened and said that they had heard it, but I had never heard of it.

So after many days of questioning, the edict became more serious, and all the ministers held their breath, but the ceremony did not waver at all.

Afterwards, Sun Quan personally praised him as an upright man.

The envoy of the Yang Governor is Yang Di, who has always been able to recognize people.

Sun Quan couldn't help but frown slightly when he heard Yang Zhu mention these two people.

King Fu of Lu suggested that King Lu be allowed to guard the place, but Shi Yi wrote a letter against his banning of the prince and King Lu, which made him unhappy.

But he had to admit that these two people were indeed fair-minded people.

Sun Quan looked at Yang Zhu with deep eyes:

"But the original intention of Lu Wang Fu's words was to ask Lu Wang to leave Jianye and guard the four directions."

Yang Zhu seemed to have expected that Sun Quan would say this, and replied in an ulterior manner:

"Your Majesty, it is precisely because of King Lu that he surpassed all the princes, so King Fu of Lu is now thinking of letting King Lu leave the town!"

"Not only King Fu of Lu, but many ministers in the court are also anxious to get King Lu to leave the capital. It is not without reason."

It was a bit cryptic, but Sun Quan understood.

Although it was not stated explicitly, both the monarch and the minister knew what the topic was at this time.

The princes Yang Zhu mentioned were not just ordinary princes, but also princes.

In other words, it was precisely because King Lu was far more talented than the prince and someone in the court was afraid of affecting the prince's status that they were anxious to drive King Lu out of Jianye.

Sun Quan pondered for a long time.

For a moment, the palace was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

Yang Zhu held his breath, his heart beating like a drum, making his eardrums pound.

After following Sun Quan for so long, Yang Zhu thought that he could still understand his majesty's thoughts.

So this is a trial and a big gamble.

After an unknown amount of time, Sun Quan's voice finally came:

"You think King Lu is more suitable than the crown prince, so you support King Lu. Do you think King Lu is more suitable for the position of crown prince?"

Yang Zhu's heart suddenly shook, as if all the energy and blood in his body rushed to his head!

It was so shocking that he couldn't control his body and his whole body went weak.

With a "plop", he fell to the ground again:

"Your Majesty is wise! Your Majesty's words about my heart are absolutely right."

Where Sun Quan couldn't see it, dense beads of sweat were oozing out from Yang Zhu's temples.

Looking at Yang Zhu lying on the ground, Sun Quan's eyes became softer:

"It is a capital offense to make false remarks about the crown prince. Aren't you afraid?"

"Your Majesty has asked a question, how dare I not answer the question?" Yang Zhu said loudly, his head still pressing against the ground, "The national reserve is related to the country. For the sake of the country's stability, I would rather commit the death penalty!"

"Get up." Sun Quan showed a satisfied look.

He designed the conflict between the two palaces with the intention of rebalancing the power between the ruling and opposition parties.

Secondly, it is also to find the most suitable successor.

In fact, it is raising Gu.

It was obvious that Prince Sunhe had disappointed him.

It can't even be described as disappointed, but extremely disappointed and extremely angry.

After the incident at the ancestral temple, he only issued a grounding order and did not punish the prince too much.

It was because I was worried that I was seriously ill and would not be able to survive this test.

If he can't survive this test and deposes the crown prince, Da Wu will probably be in chaos.

As an emperor, he often has no choice but to do what he wants!

For example, this time, if my condition continues to worsen, no matter how dissatisfied I am with the prince, for the sake of the overall situation of Da Wu, I can only hold my nose and admit it.

Fortunately, I survived.

Thinking of this, Sun Quan's eyes became a little gloomy again.

It's time to reckon with the prince's daring actions and evil intentions when he was seriously ill.

"The prince's recent behavior has really disappointed me."

Sun Quan's tone was still calm, without much emotion, and he didn't even raise his voice.

But it is precisely because of this that it seems that what he said has been considered for a long time and has even made a decision:

"It's just as you said, the matter of the state's crown prince is related to the foundation of the country. If it is not handled well, Wu will be in trouble. Therefore, even if I want to make King Lu the crown prince, I have to be cautious."

Hearing this, Yang Zhu still didn't understand the meaning of Sun Quan's words.

In ecstasy, he could hardly control himself, but his voice trembled a little:

"What your Majesty said is absolutely true. This matter requires careful consideration."

"But God bless Wu, your majesty is in full bloom in the Spring and Autumn Period, and your health has improved again. You can take care of it in the future."

"The heyday of the Spring and Autumn Period?" Sun Quan showed a somewhat complicated look on his face, even with a hint of bitterness, "Where can I find the heyday of the Spring and Autumn Period?"

Sun Quan seemed to become a little weird when he talked about his spring and Autumn period. He waved his hand:

"I'm tired, you go down first."

Originally, he summoned Yang Zhu because of other matters, but it was obvious that Sun Quan at this time had no interest in continuing.

Yang Zhu opened his mouth, swallowed back the comforting words that had reached his lips, and could only respond: "Here."

After exiting His Majesty's palace, Yang Zhu almost couldn't help but want to let out a long roar to vent the surging joy in his heart.

The bet was right!

Thinking of his future achievements in supporting Cong Long, and thinking that he would no longer have to suffer the humiliation of Lu Xun, Yang Zhu felt that his whole body was light and airy, as if he was stepping on clouds.

When he left the palace, he didn't notice that in a dark corner, a pair of eyes were staring at him coldly.

Even looking at it from a distance, those eyes could see that Yang Zhu was filled with excitement and joy that could not be concealed.

Those eyes, from the initial coldness, gradually turned into anger, and then turned into fear again...

All gifts for the Son of Man are warm in winter and clear in summer, calm at dusk and clear in the morning.

As the crown prince and the crown prince of the country, he must set a good example for the world.

Sun He abided by this rule very much.

Morning and evening, he would go to Sun Quan's palace to pay his respects.

The first time I went there, I secretly hid the servant under Sun Quan's bed.

The second time I went there, I used the same method to bring out the servants.

The prince originally lived in the East Palace, but the state of Wu was different.

As the capital of the Wu Kingdom, Jianye was originally a grassroots venture.

The palace is like an old piece of patchwork clothing, which was expanded on the original general's palace. The materials used were dismantled and transported from the Wuchang Palace where Sun Quan was King of Wei and Wu.

In addition, over the years, Wu State has minted a lot of money, borrowed foreign debts, and even raised a cavalry army beyond its own capabilities.

Where did the money come from to build the palace?

Therefore, Sun Quan forcibly ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, and the palace was somewhat nondescript.

"Book of Changes Xi Ci Xia" says:

In ancient times, Bao Xi, the king of the world, looked up to observe the phenomena in the sky, and looked down to observe the laws on the earth. He observed the patterns of birds and animals in harmony with the earth. The virtue of communicating with the gods is similar to the emotions of all things.

For those who gossip, the Qiankun Xun shakes Kan Li Gen Dui.

Zhen represents thunder, which means the eldest man, belongs to wood and lives in the east.

Therefore, as the head of the princes, the prince should live in the East Palace.

But the prince's palace in Wu State was located in the south, so it was called Nangong.

In the prince's bedroom in Nangong, the prince Sun Heping retreated to the left and right. After listening to the servant's report, his face was full of distortion, with endless fear in his shock and anger:

"Your Majesty, did you really say that?"

After hearing the big secret in the palace, the servants were already frightened and a little out of their minds.

"Your Highness, this little man's words are true. He hears them clearly and does not dare to deceive a single word."
