Chapter 104 Exchange
Fei Hao came out of Guan Yu's house dejectedly, got into the car and ordered to go back to the post. When Sun Shao went to see Sun Shao, he also rushed to see Guan Yu. He was a little lucky. Guan Yu did not clean up him like Sun Shao kicked Sun Shao, but he did not see him. Fei Hao stood in the front hall for an hour, and Guan Yu didn't even give him a reply, as if he didn't know that he was waiting to be received outside.
You have a lot of words, but what do you say if you can't see each other? Fei Yi sighed, but there was nothing he could do. When he saw Sun Shao with a pale face, he still envied Sun Shao. At least Sun Shao now knew what Sun Shao meant, but he knew nothing about what Guan Yu was thinking.
After thinking about it, Fei Yi knew that he could not complete this task, so he had to send an envoy and ask Liu Bei to send another master to Wancheng to negotiate.
After consulting several cronies, the emperor finally bowed to the reality and agreed with Yang Biao's suggestion. He edict to seal Guan Yu as the king of Jing, the southern county as the state, and the capital Jiangling; Sun Shao as the king of Yue, Huiji as the state, and renamed Yue, and Du Shanyin.
With the imperial edict, the whole city was shocked. Everyone's eyes were focused on the two parties, Guan Yu and Sun Shao, and Fei Hao raised their hearts to their throats. They knew that although this was Cao Pi's trick, it was Yang Biao who really contributed to this matter. Yang Biao gave a signal that if Sun Quan and Liu Bei did not come again, the emperor would have no patience. Sun Shao went to Jiangdong, and Guan Yu occupied Jingzhou. There was no one for you.
Just when Fei Yi was at a loss, a good news came. Guan Yu refused the reward of the emperor, wrote a book with tears and asked the emperor to make Liu Bei king. His reason is very good. Emperor Gaozu has an alliance of white horses, and he can't be crowned kings with different surnames. If there are violators, the world will fight against them together. Liu Bei is a relative of the Han Dynasty. He made him king without violating the alliance of the White Horse. The king of Qin was ordered by Liu Bei, and his merit was also Liu Bei's credit.
Guan Yu's loyalty to Liu Bei can be distinguished by the moon!
Fei Yi sighed and almost collapsed on the ground. If Guan Yu accepts the throne, then Liu Bei will really die and have no place to be buried. Looking at Fei Yi with relief, Sun Shao did not dare to relax. After thinking about it, he couldn't help it, and he still couldn't think of any good way. He sent someone to inquire, but the news was very shocked. Sun Shao accepted the imperial edict of the emperor and went to the palace to thank him.
Sun Shao became king.
Sun Shaoru was struck by lightning, and his eyes were not focused. He sat there stupidly, like a wooden chicken. The attendants were stunned, clapping and shouting, and it took a long time to wake him up. Sun Shao came to his senses and burst into tears. Sun Shao claimed to be the king. He showed the people of the world that he and Sun's power were at a irresonable, and the east of the Yangtze River was in danger!
He wrote a letter again and reported this important news to Sun Quan.
Sun Shao drank tea slowly. Zhou Xun, Yue Hai and others sat around him in front of him with different looks. Zhou Xun, Yue Hai and Sun Huan had a gloomy face. They were very dissatisfied with Sun Shao's acceptance of the imperial edict of the emperor. If you have a problem with Sun Quan, it's all family affairs. The so-called family ugliness can't be publicized. At this time, it is said that the king is very harmful to Jiangdong. Do you really think how much energy you can have without Sun Quan? Whether it is the emperor or Cao Pi, they just want to divide the power of Jiangdong and Yizhou. Guan Yu can recognize this, but you can't stop it **?
Cui Qian and others don't care, and even a little excited. Sun Shao said that Wang is a good opportunity for them, and there is no need to pass Sun Quan to add officials or something in the future. Sun Shao and Sun Quan turned against each other, and in the future, they will rely more on people of pirate origin. It is expected that they will be reused.
Chen Hai, Ding Feng and others were embarrassed. They didn't object or support, so they had to say nothing.
Sun Shao did not refute a word. He just looked at them quietly until everyone stopped talking. Then he gently touched the teacup with the celadon cup lid, glanced at everyone, and said faintly, "Is it all over?"
"It's over." Sun Huan arched his hand angrily: "But you have thanked me, and it's useless for us to say."
Sun Shao smiled and still did not make any explanation. His eyes slowly swept over everyone's face, and finally withdrew to the teacup in his hand. He said calmly and calmly: "I don't want to explain this matter to you, and Shu Wu is right. This is already a fact, and the explanation is meaningless. I don't like to force people to do things. Some of you have been with me for three or four years, and some are only a few months. Now I'm going to establish a country. If there is anything unacceptable, we can get together and break up. In the future, in case we meet on the battlefield, you don't need to have any scruples. Let go of your own hands and feet and fight.
Everyone looked at each other in the face, and Sun Huan suddenly changed color. Sun Shao was driving people away, and the target was obvious, mainly targeting him and Zhou Xun, because they were originally sent by Sun Quan to monitor him.
Sun Shao stood up, patted his sleeves lazily, and looked at the crowd again: "If anyone has some confidence in me and is willing to stay and help me, I am also very welcome. If anyone is not confident now and wants to jump out of the circle to see the situation first, I don't object. The so-called good birds choose wood to live, and good ministers choose the master to serve, which is also human's common feeling. Although I, Sun Shao, am not a saint, there is still a measure of this. After saying that, he put his hands behind his back and went into the inner room relaxedly.
Cui Qian got up and followed without thinking, caught up with Sun Shao in the corridor, and bowed and said, "Cui Qian vowed to follow the king to the death."
Sun Shao tilted his mouth and looked at Cui Qian with a smile: "Jianzhong, don't you think about it anymore?"
Cui Qian smiled and said, "I have made a decision under the West Scroll City. There is no need to think about it anymore."
"Very good." Sun Shao nodded and patted Cui Qian on the shoulder affectionately: "Are you tired of it here? Do you want to be Zhu Ya?
"I want to." Cui Qian smiled shyly: "There is no sea breeze, and I feel uncomfortable all over."
"Hurbear it for another two days, let's go to sea." Sun Shao laughed and pondered for a moment: "Aggrieved you to be a left general."
Cui Qian was overjoyed, turned over and fell to the ground. He raised his hands above his head and shouted, "Thank you for the king's grace. I would like to serve the king."
Yue Hai and others who were still in the hall heard it seriously, and their faces were more complicated. Sun Shao was obviously testing their confidence in him. Cui Qian did not hesitate and was immediately promoted to General Zuo. What about the others? Chen Hai couldn't sit still. He got up and strode over. As soon as Ding Feng saw him get up, he quickly followed him. The two turned over and fell down in front of Sun Shao: "I will follow the king to the death."
Sun Shao smiled gratifiedly and kicked Chen Hai: "Ji Zi, I thought I was going to find another right general." Chen Hai's mouth was a little bitter. According to his qualifications, he should have been in front of Cui Qian. This hesitation fell behind Cui Qian. He grinned awkwardly and stopped talking.
"Chengyuan, I'm sorry for you to be a general. You take good care of the destroyer camp for me."
Ding Feng kowtowed and thanked him.
Yuehai listened to the sound behind the house, like sitting on pins and needles. He looked at Zhou Xun and Sun Huan with some embarrassment, and finally gritted his teeth and hurriedly got up. Sun Shao stood in the corridor, watched the stride across the sea, and said with a smile, "My rear general is late."
He smiled across the sea and fell to the ground.
Zhou Xun and Sun Huan smiled bitterly. Sun Shao was very willing to give benefits to people. He sealed four generals in one breath. It was rare to be generous. But then again, these are all his cronies. He has probably made arrangements for a long time ago. As for the former general, it goes without saying that it is probably reserved for Su's thick legs. Although Sun Shao had never said anything about Su's thick legs, it was impossible for Zhou Xun and Sun Huan to not guess this. They were just wondering what method Sun Shao used to make Su's thick legs stab Sun Quan in the back without hesitation.
But Zhou Xun and Sun Huan can't do this like them. Sun Huan is a clan. He can't abandon Sun Quan because he is greedy for wealth. Zhou Xun is considering his family. If Sun Shao does this, he is going to break with Sun Quan. If he stops beside Sun Shao again, his mother and younger brother and sister will definitely be in trouble. The two of them looked at each other for a long time, and finally said with one voice, "Let's go and leave."
After saying that, both of them laughed.
Sun Shao looked at Zhou Xun and Sun Huan, who looked embarrassed, said nothing more, and nodded and agreed to their decision. Zhou Xun and Sun Huan breathed a sigh of relief. They got up and withdrew from Sun Shao's study. When they walked to the door, Sun Huan stopped again. Zhou Xun knew that he had something to ask Sun Shao, so he left first. Sun Huan stood by the door, holding his hands together. His fingers were pinched and loosened, and he loosened and pinched for a few rounds. Then he made up his mind. He turned around and walked back to Sun Shao and bowed to the ground respectfully: "Your Highness, I have something unclear about Huan. I want to ask you to make it clear."
When Sun Shao saw that he did not leave at the door, he knew that he had something to say, but he had not urged him. Now Sun Huan called him His Royal Highness the King of Yue and knew that Sun Huan had made up his mind to go. Although he was a little disappointed, he didn't show it on his face and sighed: "Tell me."
"Your Highness is wise, can't you see the weirdness in the king?" Sun Huan raised his head and looked directly at Sun Shao, with puzzlement, anger and disappointment in his eyes.
"What do you think?" Sun Shao raised the corners of his mouth and asked in the face of Sun Huan's eyes.
Sun Huan was stunned. He didn't expect Sun Shao to answer. He thought for a period of time and said, "I thought Your Highness must have seen through the mystery, but what I don't understand is why Your Highness still accepts it. General Guan rejected the imperial edict and turned to Liu Bei for the seal. Why did His Highness accept the title instead?
"You mean, I should do it like General Guan?"
Sun Huan nodded. That's exactly what he thought.
Sun Shao took a long breath, as if this breath had been in his heart for a long time, and it was not until now that he spit it out, and it seemed that he still had an endless intention. He raised his head slightly and looked at the blue and black roof. After a while, he said faintly:
"Shu Wu, go back and tell him sixteen words."
Sun Huan was even more sad to see that Sun Shao no longer called Sun Quan the supreme, but directly replaced him with "he". He lowered his head, tears gushed out, and his voice was full of sadness.
"Your Highness, please speak."
"If people don't offend me, I won't offend them. If a person offends me, I will offend him. After saying word by word, Sun Shao waved his hand to indicate that Sun Huan could leave. He turned around, picked up the book on the case again, and said no more.
Sun Huan touched it carefully for a while, and his eyes lit up, as if he had caught something. He wanted to ask again, but Sun Shao turned his back and never looked at him again. He had to swallow the words that surged into his mouth and bowed: "I must bring the words. I'm leaving!"
... "If people don't offend me, I won't offend them. If people offend me, I will offend them?" What do you mean?" Sun Quan gasped and stared at Sun Huan with blood-blooded blue eyes: "Is he challenging me?"
Sun Huan couldn't stand on the ground and said with a crying voice: "Supreme, I don't think so. I thought that this was the first expression of his position to the Supreme. I dared to ask the supreme at the risk of my life. Have you ever done anything wrong before this?
Sun Quanyu choked. After thinking about it, it seemed that he was suspicious of Sun Shao's minister, and there was no conclusive evidence. Even if Su's thick legs turned against the water this time, he just suspected. There was no evidence that Sun Shao played a role in it. He saw that he could not save his life, and let Sun Shao and Guan Yu stay in Wancheng for nearly half a year, and they were almost killed by Cao. I'm sleepy, but it's obvious to all.
But Sun Quan is not the kind of person who is blinded by appearances. He thinks far more about things than young people like Sun Huan or outsiders. In fact, he will take the same precautions not only for Sun Shao, but also for everyone who may threaten him.
However, how can you say such a thing to Sun Huan? Besides, what's the use of saying that? Sun Shao has become king. He has made it clear that he wants to fight against him and turn his Huiji County into his Yue Kingdom. Is it necessary for him to say something right or wrong to him? Even if he blamed Sun Shao wrongly before, now, everyone in the world can prove that Sun Shao betrayed him.
So he was not interested in answering Sun Huan's question, and there was no need to answer it. What he has a headache now is how he should deal with it if Sun Shao comes to Huiji. Sun Shao, the king of Yue, was sealed by the emperor. Behind him is not only the court, but also Cao Jian, who is staring at him. There is no need to doubt that Cao Jian will definitely support Sun Shao to get the meeting. If he can't do it well, Liu Bei will also take advantage of the fire.
What's more, there is a more important problem now. Su's thick legs have always been a disaster in the East China Sea. Lv Fan is not his opponent at all. Except for Sun Shao, no one in the whole Jiangdong can calm the East China Sea, and the two sides of the most severely victim Qian Tangkou have been resentful. Yu, Teng, Zhou, Wei and other families are extremely resentful, and Huiji Taishou Chun. Although Zhu Zhi, the governor of Yu Shi and Wu County, did not say anything, he complained that Sun Quan handled this matter improperly, so that the East China Sea is now restless.
Sun Quan was so anxious. He really wanted to prove that he could control the situation, calm the East China Sea, catch Su's thick legs, get his confession to accuse Sun Shao, and then smash him into ten thousand pieces. But at the same time, he clearly realized that there was no one under him who could subdue Su's thick legs. If he wants to stabilize the rear and try his best to deal with possible conflicts, he must bow to Sun Shao.
For Sun Quan, this choice will make him lose face and is likely to suffer endless trouble.
In the face of Sun Huan's questioning, Sun Quan gasped angrily, but there was nothing he could do. He carefully touched Sun Shao's sixteen words, from which he smelled Sun Shao's contempt, Sun Shao's anger, and Sun Shao's condescending arrogance.
You messed with me first, so I want you to look good.
Sun Quan had a splitting headache and a star in front of him. He waved his hand painfully and asked Sun Huan to go down to rest first. Seeing that Sun Quan's face was wrong, Sun Huan hurried forward to support him, just like when he was working beside Sun Quan before he came to Sun Shao. In a trance, Sun Quan seemed to forget that Sun Huan had just questioned him about Sun Shao. He leaned on it powerlessly, stretched out his neck and motioned Sun Huan to help him pinch it a few times.
Sun Huan skillfully turned to his back and helped him pinch it moderately. After a few times, Sun Quan relaxed a little. He looked blankly at the front, his eyes were dull, and his eyes were motionless. After a long time, he said to himself, "My son of the Sun family is not as good as Liu Bei, a minister with a different surname. It's really makes I'm disappointed."
Sun Huan's hand paused for a moment, and then slowly pinched it. Sun Quan felt his hesitation and asked, "Uncle Wu, you have been with him for so long. Tell me, what is he thinking?"
Sun Huan squeezed his shoulder slowly and thought about it. After a while, he slowly said, "Supreme, you must know that Sun Changshi was injured by him, right?"
Sun Quan nodded. He was angry about this. Sun Shao actually injured his long history Sun Shao. Is he still in his eyes?
"That was the only time I was angry when I was by his side for so long." Sun Huan recalled the situation at that time and still shuddered a little. He never thought that Sun Shao, who had always treated people kindly, would do so. He did not doubt at all. At that time, if Guan Feng hadn't asked someone to fight Sun Shao out, Sun Shao would have killed Sun Shao.
"In the past few years... he really didn't get angry." Sun Quan answered, and suddenly his heart moved. Why is Sun Shao angry? It's because he hates him for not saving his death, and hates him for killing people with a knife. However, despite this, he only vented his anger on Sun Shao, not on Sun Quan. It is reasonable that the culprit is Sun Quan. It is impossible for Sun Shao not to understand this. There is no need for him to be angry with Sun Shao.
Is he giving me face?
Sun Quan suddenly sat up straight. Sun Huan was shocked and thought he was pinched heavy, so he hurriedly bowed to the ground. Sun Quan didn't have time to talk to him. He stood up and walked back and forth in the big tent, with big and urgent steps. He smiled and pinched his eyebrows for a while. His face kept changing. He seemed to think of something, but he didn't dare to be sure.
"Gongxu, please invite Gu Gong and Zhuge Ziyu and others immediately."
Zhu Ji answered and left in a hurry. After a long time, Gu Yong, Zhuge Jin, Teng Dan and others arrived. Sun Quan first asked Sun Huan to talk about Wancheng, especially about Sun Shao's acceptance of the emperor. When they heard that Sun Shao was called the king of Yue and wanted to take Huiji County as the state of Yue, everyone was stunned. Even if Gu Yongping was so happy and angry, he was shocked by the news. Last time Sun Mo sent the news back, they only knew that Cao Pi had made a plan to alienate. The emperor was still considering it. They all felt that with Sun Shao's wisdom, they could definitely see through it and would not be fooled. Unexpectedly, Sun Shao became the king.
The meaning of this is that everyone here knows that they all bowed their heads and were silent. If they said a wrong sentence at this time, it is likely to trigger a civil war in Jiangdong.
"King of Yue?" Lv Meng first let out a disdainful sneer: "Why? By his more than 10,000 pirates, or by the imperial edict of the emperor? If the imperial edict of the emperor was so useful, it would have been peaceful that day.
Sun Quan glanced at Lv Meng and did not express his position. Lv Meng was in poor health and in a bad mood during this period. Because of Jiang Qin's death, he was very resentful to Sun Shao. At this time, it was difficult to calm down and analyze the problem.
Sun Quan then turned his eyes to Gu Yong.
Gu Yong was silent, as if he didn't see Sun Quan's eyes. Sun Quan frowned and then understood that he rebuked everyone, leaving only Gu Yong. In a huge room, the two of them sat opposite each other. Sun Quan bowed and saluted: "Gu Gong taught me."
Gu Yong returned the gift: "How dare I?"
Sun Quan still bowed respectfully: "Gu Gong, this move made me in a mess. If I meet him, I can't face my brother's spirit in heaven. If I tolerate him to continue to fool around, then Jiangdong's foundation is not guaranteed, and I still can't give it to my father and brother. This is really a dilemma.
Gu Yong's long eyebrows trembled gently and slowly said, "Supreme, I don't know what Feng Xian is thinking now, but from the sixteen words he sent back, he has resentment, but he should not take the initiative to be the enemy of the supreme."
Sun Quan nodded. It was from it that he saw the meaning that he felt that things might turn around. What he can't figure out is that since Sun Shao doesn't want to be his enemy, why does he want to be king? This is clearly a split.
"So, the top priority now is to find out what he is thinking." Gu Yong raised his head, and his gentle eyes slowly calmed down Sun Quan: "We are thousands of miles away from Wancheng. With just a few words sent by the fast horse, it is difficult to figure out the real situation of Wancheng. Judging from his previous record, he is not that kind of impulsive person, and he should not be tricked by Cao Pi because of a throne. Maybe he has his idea, but we can't guess it.
Sun Quan is a little unhappy. Gu Yong's words have some excuse for Sun Shao. Even if there are any difficulties for Sun Shao, he is now the king, and even the officials have begun to be deployed. It is clear that he no longer obeys the orders of his uncle. What's the point of sending people to Wancheng at this time?
Gu Yong seemed to see Sun Quan's unhappiness. He continued, "The supreme thought that Guan Yu asked for the title of prince for Liu Bei. Will the emperor agree?"
Sun Quan narrowed his eyes and thought about it. After a while, he nodded: "It should be."
"Cao can be the king, Liu Bei can be the king, and even Fengxian can be the king. Why can't the supreme be the king?"
Sun Quan's eyes lit up. Yes, everyone is called the king. From then on, he sat on an equal footing. He no longer had to look at anyone's face. Moreover, this was the title of the emperor, and the name was righteous. With this king, he no longer had to worry about the scholars and doctors in Jiangdong saying that his way was not right. More importantly, if he is called the king, the awkward hierarchical relationship he has just formed with Sun Shao can be reversed.
"Then... who will be sent to Wancheng?"
"The supreme and most trusted person."
