Chapter 89 The disease is terminally ill
With a "pop", a beautiful prince porcelain cup smashed on the ground, and the green tea splashed. Mrs. Wang screamed in horror, like a frightened rabbit jumping up. She held her skirt wet with tea, stamped her feet sadly and angrily and shouted, "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?"
"Get out--" Sun Quan turned his head, pointed to the direction of the door, and shouted breathlessly, "Get out of here. Get out. I don't want to see you again!"
Mrs. Wang pouted and stared at Sun Quan for a long time. She still refused to leave. Gu Li quietly came over, stopped in front of her, stretched out her hand and motioned for a moment. Mrs. Wang bit her lips and thought about it. She stamped her feet with hatred and brushed her sleeves. When she went out, she closed the door with a "sneer" force.
Sun Quan gasped like a cow and collapsed on the brocade couch. The dense beads of sweat slid down the wrinkles on his face and wet the brocade quilt under his body. A pair of blue eyes looked blankly at the top of the blue and black tape, and two tears slid down from the corners of his eyes.
"Ali..." He sighed, and stopped talking, and tears flowed.
"Your Majesty, have a good rest..." Gu Li wiped the corners of his eyes and swallowed.
"Ali--" Sun Quan called Gu Li's name without a word, with endless desolation.
On the pedal in front of the couch, a paper edict was kneaded into a ball, and the paper slowly loosened, making a "cluck" sound. Gu Li glanced at Sun Quan, quietly picked up the imperial edict, and slowly wiped it out. The imperial edict had been soaked by the sweat dripping from Sun Quan's fingers. The ink faded and turned into a piece, but the content could still be seen. Gu Li just glanced at it and understood why Sun Quan suddenly lost control of his emotions.
Sun Shao, the king of Yue, won the victory and returned to the court. He was going to hold a prisoner-dedication ceremony in Luoyang. The emperor ordered the three kings of Wei, Shu and Wu to come to the court in March to participate in the captive ceremony of the king of Yue. The emperor can make it clear that the Han Dynasty has been established for more than 400 years, and there have been countless foreign wars, and the victory is not small. However, this time, the four kingdoms of Yue, Wei, Wu and Shu jointly went out to expand the territory of Sassan, which is an unprecedented event in 400 years. I hope that the kings will participate in this celebration.
Gu Li sighed secretly. I don't know who wrote the edict. Isn't this a stab in Sun Quan's heart? When did the State of Wu participate in this war? Yes, Lu Xun turned out to be a general of the State of Wu. More than 30,000 soldiers he led was also from the State of Wu, but the question is that from Lu Xun to these 30,000 generals, who else admitted that he was from the State of Wu? These people were all robbed by Sun Shao. If Sun Quan goes to this ceremony and looks at the soldiers who have returned from meritorious service, what does he think?
Wu Yue was originally a family, but now the State of Yue is the most proud of the four countries, but the State of Wu has become the laughing stock of the world. Because of the position of the crown prince, Sun Deng committed suicide. After Sun Luban heard about it, he actually took the army back to the State of Wu and asked the Qingjun's side to ask for an explanation for Sun Deng. The matter of this daughter leading troops to fight against Laozi is probably also It was the first time in history, but it was met by Sun Quan.
Although Sun Luban's troops are not enough, so far, he has only been fierce and has not really been able to invade the State of Wu. However, this matter has spread all over the Han Dynasty, and even the Japanese know it. Sun Quan is angry and annoyed. His physical condition has deteriorated sharply in the past year, and now he has to go to Luoyang to humiliate him. That and kill What's the difference between him and him?
What makes Sun Quan more worry-free is that Mrs. Wang not only can't help Sun Quan share his worries, but also feels that Sun Quan may be sick at any time. She is anxious to ask Sun Quan to make her son Sun He the crown prince, so as not to dream a lot at night, which makes Sun Quan very angry and almost can't get up in one breath. I swallowed my breath.
As a close servant who has been with Sun Quan for more than 30 years, Gu Li has a good hand in Sun Quan's temper. This sound of "Ali" made him sad. He knew that Sun Quan regretted and forced Sun Deng to death. If Sun Deng was still there, things would not be so bad. Even if there was anything difficult, Sun Deng could understand his difficulties. Help him deal with it properly, instead of causing him trouble like Mrs. Wang. However, Sun Quan is a strong man. Even in front of Gu Li, he refused to admit his mistake, so he could only call out one after another.
"Your Majesty, do you want to ask the imperial doctor to come?" Gu Li asked softly.
"No...use...." Sun Quan groaned feebly and shook his head slowly: "I'll just take a break."
Gu Li answered, helped Sun Quan clean up the corner of the quilt, gently exited the room, and brought the door to the door. Then he raised his sleeves and wiped the corners of his eyes. As soon as he looked up, he saw that Queen Xu and Mrs. Bu were standing at the other end of the corridor looking at him. After a little thought, he hurried over and bowed.
"Is the king better?" Queen Xu frowned slightly and asked in a low voice.
"It's not good." Gu Li shook his head sadly: "I just got angry again. I'm very unstable. Now I'm resting."
"Oh, it's all my sins." Mrs. Bu sighed, and the corners of her eyes were wet.
"What does this have to do with you?" Queen Xu pulled her indifferently: "It's to blame, and it's also to blame those women who don't know the depth of heaven and earth."
Gu Li saw that Queen Xu was about to start venting her dissatisfaction with Mrs. Wang again, and her voice was getting louder and louder. She was afraid that Sun Quan would hear it. She quickly coughed and hesitated and said, "His Royal Highness Yue's class teacher. He may be captured in Luoyang in March."
Queen Xu and Mrs. Bu were stunned, looked at each other, and then understood. When Sun Shao comes back, this matter can't be delayed any longer. With Sun Shao's surname and his friendship with Sun Deng, he is likely to expand the matter. The reason why Sun Luban shouted fiercely was that she had never sent troops to invade the border of Wu. On the one hand, she saw that the general who led the army to guard her was her uncle. She was embarrassed to give in, and on the other hand, it was also because she was not strong enough. Without Sun Shao's order, she only brought her own guard camp, which was much more symbolic than the actual military significance. But if Sun Shao wants to participate in this matter, it's not just shouting.
Thinking of the serious surname of the situation, Queen Xu and Mrs. Bu couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.
When it comes to quarreling with Mrs. Wang, they still have some ideas. When it comes to these national affairs, they are completely blind. The two were stunned for a long time and did not dare to disturb Sun Quan any more. They had to say hello to Guli and hurried back to their residence.
Gu Li breathed a sigh of relief, returned to the front of the hall, and waited quietly. I don't know how long it took, Sun Quan's weak cry came from the hall: "Ali!"
Gu Li responded and rushed all the way to Sun Quan's couch. Seeing that Sun Quan was sweating, he quickly took a towel from the side to wipe his sweat. Sun Quan looked straight at him and gasped, "Shao, Xuan Zhuge Jin came to see him."
"Won." Gu Li quickly turned around and walked out.
In the Prime Minister's mansion, Zhuge Jin and his son sat face to face, chatting and playing chess. There are two books next to it. Zhuge Jin is beside the Funan Journal, and Zhuge Ke is beside the latest issue of the New Mountain and Sea Classic. On the cover is a deer-shaped animal with a long neck, and two words are written next to it: Kirin, and there is a big "?"
Zhuge Jin held a chess piece in his hand and frowned. After thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't find a suitable drop point. After Zhuge Ke was idle at home, Sun Quan called him to be an official many times, but he was rejected by him on the grounds that he was in poor health. In the past two years, he has been hiding at home. In addition to reading and playing chess, Zhuge Jin is no longer his opponent.
"How to solve this?" Zhuge Jin looked at Zhuge Ke angrily. Zhuge Ke smiled and shook his head: "No solution, I'm sure I'll lose."
"Dur!" Zhuge Jin threw down the chess pieces, picked up the teacup and took a sip. The tip of his tongue licked a piece of tea on his lips, and suddenly said, "Is there really no solution?"
Zhuge Ke was stunned for a moment, thought for a moment, and then smiled and said, "There are not so many tricks to come back to life in the world. There is no solution."
Zhuge Jin sighed, put down the teacup with a little depressed, and shook her head with a wry smile: "That's really a pity. It seems that it's really fate. I, the prime minister, can't compare with your uncle's prime minister."
"That's not necessarily true." Zhuge Ke smiled mysteriously and stretched out his hand to pick up the pieces. Zhuge Jin squinted his eyes and glanced at him. He seemed to have some doubts. After thinking for a while, he said, "You mean there is still a turning point?"
"At least for us, there is still a transfer." Zhuge Ke picked up the chess piece and said casually, "Look, as long as His Royal Highness Yue returns to China, the king will send someone to invite you."
"Sun Shao returns to China?" Zhuge Jin was very disappointed: "He is thousands of miles away. I don't know when this battle will last, and I don't know what the result will be. Which day will come to an end."
"It won't be long." Zhuge Ke raised his eyelids and looked at Zhuge Jin with a depressed face and said, "You get along with King Yue too little and don't know him well enough. As I know about him, since he has set out for Taixi, he will definitely be able to conquer Taixifeng in the shortest time. Otherwise, he will not go.
Zhuge Jin curled his lips and was about to speak. The second son Zhuge Rong quickly came in and shouted, "Father, brother, the king's messenger is here to summon you to the palace."
Zhuge Jin was overjoyed, and then sank his face and shouted, "Jizi, shouting, what's the whole."
Zhuge Rong was shocked, quickly put away his smile, arched his hands, and stood respectfully in front of his father and brother.
Lang Guan Zhu Yi quickly walked in. As soon as he saw Zhuge Jin and his son, he quickly saluted and explained his intention. Zhuge Jin twisted his beard and answered, "When I change my clothes, I will go..."
Before Zhuge Jin finished speaking, Zhuge Ke suddenly interrupted: "Ji Wen, is your father back?"
Zhu Yi is the son of Zhu Huan. He is famous for his talent and victory. He is a smart man. He was quite surprised to see that Zhuge Ke interrupted Zhuge Jin regardless of etiquette. However, he also knew Zhuge Ke's talent and did not dare to be careless. He quickly smiled and said, "My father fought with the general in Wucheng, and he hasn't come back yet."
"Oh." Zhuge Ke answered as if nothing had happened and never said anything again. Zhu Yi didn't know what was going on. He didn't advance or retreat, so he had to look at Zhuge Jin. Zhuge Jin knew that Zhuge Ke had something to say, so he waved his hand: "If you wait for a moment, I'll come later."
Zhu Yi answered and retreated. Zhuge Jin frowned and said to Zhuge Ke, "What, what are you worried about?"
"Father, I don't know what the king called you to do, but if you don't know the exact news of King Yue, you'd better not take over this matter." Zhuge Ke said seriously, "Princess Tiger is not a reasonable person. The general is her uncle. She can give you some face. You don't have such face."
Zhuge Jin nodded and was a little unhappy. Although his ability is not outstanding, he is very good at dealing with people. Not many people dare to persuade him when Sun Quan is angry, but he dares to persuade him, and he can often persuade him. This time, Sun Luban led the army to the "Qingjun's side". In his opinion, he sent a messenger to say a few good words. Sun Quan insisted on giving in to the army to intercept it, which made the matter stiff. It's just that Sun Quan won't let him go, and it's not easy for him to take the initiative to go. Now that Sun Quan has asked him, how can he shrink back? Zhuge Ke advised him not to worry for the time being. He didn't think so, but he always knew his son's intelligence, so he didn't veto it directly.
Zhuge Jin changed his clothes, followed the officials to the Wu Palace, and saw Sun Quan, who was sick in bed. Sun Quanqiang sat up. Although the sweat on his face had been wiped off, his face was very bad, his lips were not bloody, and his eyes were very weak. Seeing Zhuge Jin, he forced a smile: "Ziyu, you are so comfortable at home."
Zhuge Jin smiled stiffly: "Inheriting the power of the king, there is nothing in the world. Only when I can I be a prime minister of peace."
"Is there nothing in the world?" Sun Quan smiled faintly: "There is nothing in the world. There is something at home. I... Alas, I'm really ashamed."
Zhuge Jin was silent. In the past two years, the State of Wu can indeed be regarded as peace. With the State of Yue on the side, the State of Wu did not dare to be too harsh on taxes, for fear of forcing the people. A large-scale exile incident occurred again. With such pressure, both Sun Quan and the generals still know how to treat the people leniently, mainly through business to gather wealth, although the son is living a long way. It's tighter, but it's still stable. The decades-long civil unrest in the State of Wu has also subsided a lot. His prime minister can indeed be said to be a Taiping prime minister. The chaos of the State of Wu lies in the position of the crown prince, and these are all matters of the inner court, which is not under the control of the prime minister.
"Luoyang has an imperial edict. Please help me with my advice." Sun Quan moved his finger and asked Gu Li to hand the imperial edict to Zhuge Jin. Zhuge Jin took the imperial edict and was stunned for a moment. The imperial edict seemed to have been pinched. It seemed that Sun Quan was not in a good mood. It must not be a good thing. He immediately opened the imperial edict and read it. Seeing that Sun Shao had won the victory and returned to the court, he remembered Zhuge Ke's analysis. He couldn't help but jump his eyebrows. A trace of joy had just been revealed, and then he regained to calm.
After reading the edict, he gently put the edict on the table, pushed it forward, and knelt quietly.
"What do you think?" Sun Quan asked.
"You should participate in such a big event."
"Who's going?" Sun Quan asked a question.
Zhuge Jin hesitated. The imperial edict designated three kings to participate, but since Sun Quan asked so, he obviously didn't want to be ashamed. It's not impossible for the king not to go. It's okay for the prince to go, but now the prince hasn't decided yet. I heard that Mrs. Wang quarreled with Sun Quan about this matter every day. How dare he mention this matter?
Sun Quan glanced at Zhuge Jin, and the corners of his mouth trembled. It seemed that he had expected that Zhuge Jin did not know how to answer this question. He coughed: "What is Yuan Xun doing at home?"
"Read...read!"
"What book do you read?"
"New...Mountain and Sea Classic."
"Is it the latest issue?" Sun Quan hooked his finger. Gu Li took a book from the desk next to him and handed it to Zhuge Jin. Zhuge Jin took a look and quickly nodded: "Exactly."
"Hmm." Sun Quan smiled and said, "Now you regret it. He didn't want to let him go at the beginning. Otherwise, he would be powerful in Sassan this time. With his ability, he can at least be a marquis."
Zhuge Jin didn't say anything. He thought to him when you let him go. Now he said such a thing in reverse, but he did not dare to poke it to his face, and he could only smile without saying anything.
"Do you want to learn from celebrities when you study behind closed doors at a young age? Don't you hear that real celebrities are romantic? That kind of demeanor can't be pretended. Sun Quan said a lot of words in one breath. He was a little out of breath and stopped to gasp for a moment. Then he continued, "Let him go to Funan and ask the King of Yue for some medicine. My uncle is so sick that he doesn't show any filial piety at all?"
Zhuge Jin suddenly realized, thought for a while, and quickly nodded and said, "The king has a destiny. How dare you not obey? I will go back to convey the king's will to him."
"I'm not busy." Sun Quan waved his hand, sat up from the couch, and stared at Zhuge Jin with a pair of blue eyes. The unspeakable majesty forced Zhuge Jin to hold his breath: "Ziyu, my body has not been good, and it's time to set up the crown prince. What do you think of the choice of the crown prince?"
Zhuge Jin clenched her teeth and only felt her temples bursting wildly. Her heartbeat was clear and audible, and a drop of sweat came out of her temples. Sun Quan has six sons, the eldest son Deng, and the second descendant. These two died early. The third son is Sun He, the wife of the king of Langya. He is fifteen years old this year. The fourth son is Sun Ba born to Mrs. Xie, the fifth son is Sun Fen born to Zhong Ji, and the sixth son is Sun Xiu born to Mrs. Nanyang. Originally, Sun and the most had a chance, but I don't know why Sun Quan suddenly lost his previous love for him, and even changed his attitude towards his mother and wife.
So, does he want to set up a grandson? Sun Ba is 14 years old this year. It is said that it is almost the same to be the crown prince, but will Mrs. Wang be willing to establish Sun Ba? I heard that Mrs. Wang can make a kind of soup, which is Sun Quan's favorite. If she doesn't eat it for a few days, she will lose something. Now Sun Quan doesn't drink a mouthful of soup because he doesn't like their mother and son, but who knows how long Sun Quan can hold on? In case he likes Sun He again, won't he offend Mrs. Wang's mother and son?
There is another question. With Sun Ba, can Sun Luban give up? I'm afraid it's a little suspenseful, so the final key is still Sun Shao.
"All princes are smart and rare talents, but... talents are rare, and longevity is also a factor that must be considered. I don't know anything about Xiangshu. I can't see which of the princes has more longevity. King, do you want to let people see it later?
"Who should see it?" Sun Quanruo thought: "If you want to talk about Xiangshu, Zhengyu in Gucheng is the first. After her material accident, there is no good scholar."
"Zhu Ya College has it." Zhuge Jin said with a smile.
