Three Kingdoms: I, Ma Su, Only Seek Death

Ma Su returned to Chengdu and brought such a big event to Zhuge Liang as soon as they met.

Prime Minister Zhuge had thought about whether Sun Quan would one day proclaim himself emperor without permission. But the prime minister has never been idle since Tuo Gu arrived, and has never paid much attention to the situation in Soochow.

It wasn't until Ma Su's words that Kong Ming discovered that Sun Quan could proclaim himself emperor at any time.

Sun Quan, known as the Xunzong of the Three Kingdoms era, had many titles in his life.

From the Han Dynasty to besieging the general, to the old Liu Biao playing Xuzhou Mu, leading the general's chariots and cavalry. After the sneak attack on Jingzhou, he became Boss Cao's Nanchang Marquis. The late emperor became anxious and Sun Quan became Cao Pi's King of Wei and Wu again. After Cao Pi went south to attack Soochow, he became the Han King of Wu again.

But despite his many titles, he still gets huge benefits every time. Until now, Sun Quan is the king of Wu whether in Cao Wei or Shu Han, and the entire Jiangdong is legally considered his fiefdom.

Because of this, Sun Quan is now only one step away from the emperor, and he only has to pierce the window paper.

Historically, Sun Quan had always wanted to capture Hefei as a means of becoming emperor. As a result, there were several battles, and after being unable to attack for a long time, they were defeated and returned. They had to retreat and choose the next best thing to win.

Ma Su is right. Once Soochow wins this battle, Sun Quan is likely to proclaim himself emperor immediately.

At that time, what will be placed in front of the Shuhan court will be an almost unsolvable problem.

Do you recognize this Emperor of Soochow?

Zhuge Liang quickly sent people to meet Han Emperor Liu Chan, and anxiously asked the officials to come to the court to discuss countermeasures.

The central government system of the Shu Han Dynasty was very special. The core hub of military and political affairs was the prime minister's palace rather than the court. Most things were done in duplicate, one was sent to the palace for Liu Chan, and the other was sent to the Prime Minister's Mansion for Zhuge Liang.

If both the Imperial Palace and the Prime Minister's Office respond, the Imperial Palace shall prevail.

As the saying goes, the palace and the mansion are all integrated into one!

This is very efficient. With Zhuge Liang personally in charge, the administrative efficiency of Chengdu has been greatly improved. Liu Chan didn't care about this, or he knew his abilities and delegated a lot of power.

However, Zhuge Liang still went to the court to handle most major matters and left them to Liu Chan.

Soon, a reply came from the palace, Liu Chan had already brought people to the court. The officials were also summoned to go to the court to see what happened.

Could it be that the Prime Minister is planning another Northern Expedition?

After the ministers sat down, Zhuge Liang stood up as prime minister. First, I saluted His Majesty, and then displayed everything Ma Su said.

There is only one core, that is, what should we do if Soochow becomes emperor?

As soon as Zhuge Liang said this, all the officials were shocked and stunned.

"Soochow is just a country of vassals. How dare they claim to be emperor?" Some ministers expressed disbelief.

To be emperor these days, one must have destiny, and destiny has always represented uniqueness.

There can only be one emperor and one destiny in the world!

This is also the reason why Cao Wei and Shu Han had a personal feud, because both sides were emperors and neither recognized the other's destiny.

But Cao Wei was just usurping the Han and trying to steal the Han's false destiny.

You, Wu Laoer, have no moral character and no legitimate destiny. How dare you?

"Sun Quan is unrighteous and has a greedy temperament. I'm afraid he is capable of such a thing!"

At this time, Deng Zhi, who had been the diplomatic ambassador to Soochow in the Shu Han Dynasty, stood up and said with his hands raised.

He was the diplomatic envoy of the Shu Han Dynasty to Soochow and knew a lot about Sun Quan, so the ministers could believe his words.

But precisely because of this, the officials were shocked, and an uproar ensued.

"If Soochow dares to claim the pseudo-emperor, we must teach them a lesson!!" Some ministers were filled with indignation and declared that if Soochow dares to claim emperor, we will do it to them.

What kind of bullshit do you dare to touch the destiny of our big man!

Seeing the excited ministers, Ma Su nodded slightly to one side.

At this time, most of the officials in the Shu Han Dynasty were still revolutionaries, and they were bloody and courageous. Faced with Soochow's arrogance, the officials obviously couldn't bear it.

The Han Dynasty has been raising scholars for four hundred years, but there are always loyal elders.

However, what surprised Ma Su was that there were several bachelor-looking ministers among the ministers who did not express their opinions. Instead, they stood aside expressionlessly.

The leader, Ma Su, looked a little familiar. He was Qiao Zhou, the doctor of Guanglu.

"It seems that these people are the representatives of the Yizhou local faction." A glimmer of understanding flashed in Ma Di's eyes. The Yizhou faction is basically the most determined surrender faction within the Shu Han Dynasty and opposes all forms of foreign war.

After all, it was their flesh that was cut and their blood that was poured out.

Faced with the indignant statements of the officials, Liu Chan, who was sitting on the throne, did not express his position. He just nodded slightly and then said,

"This matter is of great importance. I wonder if the Prime Minister has any good ideas?"

"I think this matter is of great importance, and all ministers need to discuss the interests together!" Zhuge Liang looked serious and bowed his hands.

He had to seek everyone's opinions on this matter before he could make a judgment.

"Soochow is now our ally. It has restrained a large number of Cao Wei soldiers and horses for us in the east. Can we defeat them?" At this time, Qiao Zhou, who had been silent all the time, suddenly stood up and said loudly with his hands raised.

Moreover, Soochow was surrounded by three rivers and had more than 100,000 troops, making it the dominant force in the southeast. A hasty crusade would probably recreate the tragic situation in Yiling in the past! "

As soon as Qiao Zhou said this, all the ministers from the main war faction looked over and glared at the old guy.

But Qiao Zhou chose to turn a blind eye and instead looked closely at Zhuge Liang's face.

"Your Majesty, I believe that the destiny of the Han Dynasty is unique and the foundation of a country. It is unacceptable for the world to usurp the destiny of the Han Dynasty by the pseudo-Wei Dynasty. How can we admit the rats of Soochow?"

At this time, another bachelor stood up and saluted Liu Chan.

"If Jiangdong has its own destiny, it will be disobedient. If it is not conquered, it will probably disappoint the heroes of the world!"

As soon as this statement came out, all the officials agreed, thinking that if Soochow dared to do this, they would have to attack him.

The court was quickly divided, and most of them were fighting factions. However, the representatives of the Yizhou native faction all insisted that the important thing now is not this and they should find a way to expedition to the north.

Punishing allies will only cause the puppet Wei to push back, causing all the years of operations to be in vain.

The court discussed it for a long time, and Ma Di kept peeping at Liu Chan who was sitting there. The legendary empress of the Shu Han Dynasty looks very young now, with bright eyes and looks like he wants to do something great.

But he remained silent, just watching the officials quarreling quietly.

"Prime Minister, is there any good solution for this matter?"

The quarrel in the court lasted for half an hour before Liu Chan suddenly spoke, interrupting the quarrel and handing over the decision-making power to Zhuge Liang.

"Your Majesty, I believe that this is an emergency and we treat you with special care!"

Zhuge Liang had basically understood the attitude of the officials and remained silent for a long time.

"I'm afraid we can't delve into Soochow's little thoughts. We only need to send an envoy to Jiangdong to sever diplomatic relations with Soochow and no longer have any contact with him."

"Now, the Northern Expedition is more important!"

As soon as Zhuge Liang finished speaking, he heard Ma Di's voice,

"Prime Minister! No!"

Hum hum ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah
