Chapter 38 Crooked Reason

"Who told you?"

"Huishu wrote to me." Shen Xuan said frankly, "The king of Wu is working hard to adjust the interests of Huai Si nationality and Jiangdong's courtiers, which was originally a normal thing, but his bold behavior was full of urgency. Why is he in such a hurry? What is he thinking? King, don't take it lightly.

"The tree wants to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop. What do I have to be afraid of?" Sun Shao curled his lips and said, "Tell me what Huishu said to you."

Shen Xuan is very strange. Sun Shao doesn't seem to pay attention to Sun Quan's behavior, and even seems to be a little careless. On the contrary, he pays more attention to Zhang Wen's situation. It seems that he put the cart before the horse. However, on the other hand, although Yue's territory is not as good as that of Wu, whether it is external conditions or various strengths, Yue, Yue. The difference between the State of Wu is, and the momentum of development is not comparable to the State of Wu, which is busy adjusting internal relations. With the passage of time, it should be said that the threat of the State of Wu to Yue is getting smaller and smaller, and it is reasonable for Sun Shao to care about Sun Quan.

"It was last year's thing that Huishu was reused..."

In fact, Zhang Wen should have been reused a long time ago. Five years ago, he sent a mission to Caoying in Jiangbei to promote Sun Cao's disarming of his troops. Three years ago, he sent an envoy to Shu to promote the joint efforts of Wu and Shu, and then Wancheng negotiations. He made great contributions, but I don't know whether it was because of Sun Quan's suppression of Jiangdong nationality, or Zhang Wen was too arrogant and offended those who were in the righteous. He He didn't get a promotion, or to be precise, he didn't get the promotion he wanted, so he was always unhappy. In the letter to Shen Xuan, he complained, which showed his regret for his choice at the beginning. If he hadn't recommended Shen Xuan to Sun Shao at the beginning, but he had been following Sun Shao for advice, he would now At least he is a big farmer like Shen Xuan.

Wu Guo was established. Sun Shao, who he had always looked down on, became the prime minister. His promotion seemed to be more difficult, and he didn't get a chance for a long time. It was not until the hostage incident that Sun Quan was teased by Sun Shao. Suddenly, Zhang Wen's opportunity came. He and Ji Yan were entrusted with a heavy responsibility by Sun Quan to be responsible for the selection of officials. This is a very important position. The power is very large, and the oil and water are naturally sufficient. It is said that Zhang Wen should be satisfied, but Zhang Wen is a smart person, and he soon found the problem.

Sun Quan sorted out the officials and had the intention of killing people with a knife.

The most serious official rule in the State of Wu now is that the disciples of the big surname enter the bureaucratic system at an unprecedented speed. Zhu Zhi, the governor of Wu County, recommends nearly 100 children of Wu County who are Jianye every year. Of course, most of these people are mainly children of Wu County's family, and of course, there are many people related to the four families of Gu Lu and Zhuzhang. Zhang Wen himself is from Wu County. Can he clean up these children? If he does this, he will become the enemy of the Wu Jun family. If he doesn't do this, it is obviously not in line with Sun Quan's expectations. Can Zhang Wen be flattered?

Zhang Wen found that he had taken on a hot task.

Zhang Wen is Zhang Wen. At this time, he made an unexpected move. He married the two families of Gu Lu. He first married Lu Yusheng, the youngest daughter of Lu Ji, who stayed in Wu County for his third brother Zhang Bai, and then married his sister Zhang Yuying to Gu Cheng, Gu Shao's second son. With these two marriages, he clearly showed his attitude. He and Wu Jun's family were on the side and would never be embarrassed with Wu County's family. Then he fought back and made a blow. The impeachment of Prime Minister Sun Shao was incompetent, and his body was vegetarian.

"Isn't this a hornet's nest?" Sun Shao frowned and said worriedly.

"Of course, there was an uproar in the court of the State of Wu." Shen Xuan pinched the tip of his nose, and his face was full of admiration. "The king of Wu was furious, but under the pressure of the Wu family, he had no choice but to lift a stone and hit his foot. I heard that Sun Shao was under pressure and wrote a letter to resign from the position of prime minister. The king of Wu was not allowed, and he was not allowed. Now he is in a dilemma.

"A dilemma?" Sun Shao listened quietly and saw that Shen Xuan was a little proud of Zhang Wen's method of solving difficulties. He couldn't help laughing: "Mozhi, do you think Huishu is very good at doing this?"

Shen Xuan glanced at Sun Shao and asked with a smile, "Do you think the king is not smart? Hui Shu stood with the Wu Jun family with a clear attitude, and was married to the Gu Lu family. What can the king of Wu do to him? Hui Shu is not alone now. Behind him stands the whole Wujun family, which can even be said to be the whole Jiangdong people.

"Mozhi, do you really think that two marriages can connect Huishu and Gu Lu?" Sun Shao shook his head repeatedly, "Maybe he did the opposite of this."

Shen Xuan was a little puzzled. He looked at Sun Shao and wanted to ask but didn't ask.

"Do you think that the Gu Lu families are related to me now. In order to maintain stability, the king of Wu will not be unfavorable to them, so as not to force them to my side? So, after marrying them, the Zhang family will be safe?

Shen Xuan nodded. That's exactly what he thought. Why are the Gu Lu families so strong now? It is because they are stepping on two boats, not only in a very important position in the State of Wu, but also in the State of Yue. No matter which side, they must pretend to be to them, so as not to force them to the other side. Isn't it a good means for Zhang Wen to lose the good opportunity to rely on Sun Shao and marry the Gu Lu family? Will Sun Quan ignore the overall situation and force Zhang Gu and Lu's three families to turn against him?

"Silence, you and Huishu..." Sun Shao turned his head and looked at Shen Xuan, and suddenly shook his head with a smile. The smile was a little unpredictable and a little helpless insight into the world: "It's very smart, but he was more or less harmed by the book."

Shen Xuan was even more puzzled. Although he didn't know why Sun Shao said this, he heard that Sun Shao was not optimistic about Zhang Wen's behavior. He suddenly became a little worried. He and Zhang Wenshi had a desire to compete with each other. It was just out of the competitive spirit of young people. Everyone was young and handsome. It was inevitable that they thought highly of themselves and wanted to talk to others. For comparison, good friends are no exception, but when it comes to life and death, he can't help but worry about Zhang Wen.

"Silence, what's the use of the in-law relationship in the face of real life and death?" Sun Shao sighed: "Don't you know that my eldest sister married the Gu family and the third sister married the Lu family? But what did you see the Gu Lu family do for me?

Shen Xuan's eyes blinked and thought.

"As long as the king of Wu does not harm the vital interests of the Gu Lu family and does not force them to have no way out, they will not quarrel with him. How can a marriage and one or two women affect their decisions? At that time, as long as the king of Wu finds an excuse to make people look logical and take care of everyone's face, no one will be stupid enough to jump out to support Huishu. It's too convenient to find an excuse to clean up with Hui's temper. Silence, believe it or not, as long as the king of Wu shows this meaning, someone will soon be able to list more than a dozen charges of forgiving, and all of them seem to be reasonable, so that others have nothing to say. For example, he made friends with foreign countries and was too close to Zhuge Liang, the Prime Minister of Shu..."

Shen Xuan's forehead sweated coldly. He knew Zhang Wen's temper too well. As Sun Shao said, Sun Quan didn't have to open his mouth to find Zhang Wen's problem. As long as he signaled, someone could find out a lot, and Zhang Wen also took this into account, so he had to pull Gu Lu. The two families, but according to Sun Shao's analysis, these marriages have no benefit except to aggravate Sun Quan's suspicion. Isn't Zhang Wen self-defeating? Zhang Wen and Zhuge Liang's relationship with Shen Xuan also knew one or two. Zhuge Liang's younger brother Zhuge Jun was in Zhu Ya, because they had a mutual friend Zhang Wen, and their tempers were similar. Shen Xuan talked to him several times and knew that the relationship between Zhang Wen and Zhuge Liang was not comparable to what Sun Shao said.

And Zhang Wen said that Sun Shao was incompetent. It was the conclusion drawn by comparing Sun Shao with Zhuge Liang. In Zhang Wen's letter, he compared the two people more than once. Although there is Zhang Wen's words here, it can also clearly show Zhang Wen's appreciation of Zhuge Liang.

"Hui Shu's temper is indeed a little..." Shen Xuan shook his head with a sigh and began to worry about Zhang Wen. He is the kind of person who does his best to eliminate evil. He is self-contained and doesn't know how to deal with others.

"Why aren't you?" Sun Shao smiled and said, "You are almost the same as Huishu. You both have an ancient straight style. He thinks that he is a gentleman and frank and has to talk to others. You are single-minded. For the sake of your father's hatred, you would rather die in the hometown and resolutely refused to cooperate with the King of Wu."

Shen Xuan smiled, with a few complacency and arrogance. Sun Shao's words seemed to be about their shortcomings. In fact, they were praising their backbone and not vulgarity. This is what scholars value most. Of course, they also want to fight for power and profit, but after all, they are not the kind of mercenary villains. Most of the time, for fame. With backbone, they still dare to fight. This is not only for better fame and profit, but also a kind of pride, the inherent pride of a scholar.

"Now that I think about it, forgiveness is really good for me." Shen Xuan smiled meaningfully and said, "If it hadn't been for Huishu's recommendation, I wouldn't have followed the king."

Sun Shao walked forward slowly, leaving one footprint after another on the beach, slowly blurring and disappearing under the washing of the sea. He walked a long way forward, and the sea covered his calves, surrounded by a vast sea and sparse mangroves, which stopped. Sun Shao raised his head, looked at the endless sea, and exhaled gently: "Mount Tai is fine soil, so it can become high, and the sea does not refuse the last stream, so it can become wide, not to mention such a great talent as Huishu. Write to Huishu. If he has the heart, the door of our country will always be open to him.

Shen Xuan stood behind him and bowed to him: "King Shengming."

"Mozhi, this time I invited Prime Minister and others to Zhu Ya in the hope that Zhu Ya's achievements in the past few years can make them change their minds and stop holding those agricultural-oriented ideas. Of course, those ideas are good, but they always limit their vision to Yue County, which is a little too narrow. Just like Zhu Ya, if you only focus on Zhu Ya County, how can you have Zhu Ya today?

Shen Xuan smiled happily and said, "I understand. I must have fully confess the gains and losses of Zhu Ya's development for the Prime Minister's details.

Sun Shao nodded with satisfaction, turned around and looked at Shen Xuan, and suddenly smiled mysteriously: "Silent, do you know why I did this?"

Shen Xuan didn't understand for a moment. Didn't he do this to pave the way for himself to take over as prime minister? This is already obvious. Sun Shao asked the Prime Minister and the imperial historian to come to Zhu Ya to learn the scriptures. Naturally, he was satisfied with the development of Zhu Ya. He was satisfied with his Shen Xuan's achievements, which had surpassed that of Prime Minister Yu. Yu Fan is old. He can be the prime minister. First, he is old and knowledgeable. Second, because he is a member of Yuejun, Sun Shao used him to control the situation. With the stability of the political situation, in order to balance the growth of the strength of Yue County, Sun Shao should not be from Yue County, and he, Shen Xuan, is a well-deserved successor. Just listening to Sun Shao's words, he seems to have another intention?

"I'm stupid, please ask the king to dial."

"Silence, you have also seen that as long as you can promote industry and commerce, the profit can be a hundred times and a thousand times that of agriculture. But have you noticed that from ancient times to the present, everyone has been bleeding and fighting around the land. Let's not talk about the yellow scarf, Zhang Jiao, a priest, why can the world respond, shake the foundation of the Han for four hundred years, and almost push the Han into a doomed place?

Shen Xuan did not answer immediately. He knew that since Sun Shao raised this question, he obviously did not say it casually. There must be a deeper meaning behind his back. When he contacted his move in front of him, he pondered for a long time and suddenly his eyes lit up: "It's an annexation. The family has annexed the land for more wealth, so that the farmers can't stand up. In the land of the cone, I have worked hard for a year, but I still have no clothes to wear, no food to eat, and no way out, so I fought to the death.

"Hahahaha..." Sun Shao laughed, with his hands on his waist. Between expectations, he had a kind of spirit to look at the world. Silence is silence, and it is clear at a little bit. I have been thinking about the problem for a long time, and the silence is like a fire in a moment. Yes, it is the annexation of land. Powerful people have deprived the foundation of farmers' lives for the wealth on the land, so farmers have to fight to the death and do not hesitate to burn the jade. But now we know that compared with industry and commerce, the wealth that can be produced on the land is really limited. In this case, why do we put ourselves in danger for such a little wealth? Why not leave the land to the farmers and seek more wealth instead. Just like a person, there is a piece of gold around him who doesn't want to pick it up. He has to rob half a piece of cake in the beggar's hand, forcing the beggar to fight with him. Isn't it ridiculous?

Shen Xuan couldn't help laughing. He understood Sun Shao's intention and felt Sun Shao's trust in him. His heart was a little more happy than becoming the prime minister. He nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, I also think this is very ridiculous. I think that we should not only rob half a piece of cake from the beggar's hand, but also give him land and turn him into a farmer, so that he can not only have enough food and clothing, but also sell us the remaining food. Even if we pay twice the price, it is better than It's much more affordable to buy from other places.

"Those who know me, be silent." Sun Shao turned his head and looked at Shen Xuan with a smile on his face, and a gratifying smile appeared at the corners of his mouth.

The two of Junchen had a common ideological foundation. They talked happily and unconsciously talked for more than an hour. After returning from the mangrove, Shen Xuan went to prepare the debriefing report, and Sun Shao returned to the palace. As soon as he went to the palace, Sun Shao saw Sun Shangxiang muttering something while pulling the bridge. The bridge looked impatient and shook off the sleeves pulled by Sun Shangxiang from time to time. However, Sun Shangxiang was insaving, accompanied by a smiling face and turning straight around the bridge. As soon as he saw Sun Shao come in, the bridge glanced at Sun Shao reproachfully and turned into the inner room with a calm face.

Sun Shao was puzzled. What's the matter?"

"It's nothing." Sun Shangxiang smiled awkwardly, said a few words randomly, and ran away. Sun Shao stepped in and was about to ask the bridge. Xiahou Hui gave him a look. Sun Shangxiang hurried to the side. Xiahou Hui smiled and said, "The fifth general came to the empress dowager today and said he wanted to thank her and take her to swim. The Empress Dowager refused to go, so she talked about the benefits of swimming, saying that it was good for the Empress Dowager's health, and insisted on pulling the Empress Dowager to the seaside to have a try.

Sun Shao rolled his eyes and finally understood why the bridge just stared at him. With the surname of the bridge, it is basically no different from naked [***] to let her go into the water in that kind of swimsuit. Even if there are all female soldiers next to her, she can't accept it. He scratched his head: "What does the fifth general want to thank the empress dowager?"

"I don't know either." Xia Houhui shrugged his shoulders and said, "I can't eavesdrop on what they say."

"Ha ha ha, I'll go and see the Empress Dowager." Sun Shao pinched Xia Houhui's little face, crept to the door of the bridge, and poked his head into it. Unexpectedly, as soon as his head poked out, the bridge said, "As the king, can't you come in openly?"

Sun Shao smiled, straightened his clothes, and seriously entered the layer. He glanced at the light pink swimsuit on the case and said with a smile, "Mother, what are you angry about? Is it that you can't get used to living in Zhuya, or you don't have a good appetite?"

"It's okay. The climate here is warm. I live well and eat well. I'm just not used to some of the king's measures." The bridge glanced at Sun Shao with a hippie smile. He wanted to sink his face, but he couldn't be serious. He had to look at the swimsuit so that he would not be amused by Sun Shao: "In order to let your aunt have something to do, just set up a flying tiger camp. Why did you make this kind of swimsuit and let so many women naked in front of people [* **], don't you think it's indement?

Sun Shao touched his nose and said in his heart, "What kind of dementation is this? The arms and legs are also wrapped up. You haven't seen the three-point style of later generations. That's called eye-catching. No, it's dementation. He coughed dryly: "Mother, they are soldiers. Naturally, they have to follow the rules of soldiers. As for whether it is indeerated or not, it depends on who said it. My mother may not be very clear. Whether it is Zhu Ya or Yizhou, it is very hot. Whether it is Yi people or Han people, it is very simple to dress. If it is denounced as indeerity, wouldn't it be opposed to those people? Entering the countryside and following the customs, don't you think it's very uncomfortable to dress so much?

"Aworable? Don't you feel uncomfortable to be naked?" The bridge said angrily, very dissatisfied with Sun Shao's explanation.

"I didn't let them naked either." Sun Shao's aggrieved hand: "This is just the clothes you wear when you enter the water. Do you have to dress neatly when you go into the water? To tell the truth, my mother said that I introduced the female soldiers to the barracks, which also played a role in changing customs. My mother may not know that in the past, when the sailor was in the training of the water, the group of people were all naked and said that they were reluctant to waste clothes. I said it several times, but they didn't listen. Later, when there was a female pawn, they didn't have to say it. They all put on cow's noses.

"Do you still have a reason?" The bridge was so angry that he didn't say anything. He picked up the swimsuit on the case and said, "As a king, how can you establish a country for a long time by conniving this kind of vulgarity? Man, my king, you are not an ordinary person now. You have to prevent bad people from doing everything.

"Hey, why do I have bad hearts?" Sun Shao jumped up and said, "Mom, do you think this is my decision alone? If it's really to satisfy my shady selfish desires, can my aunt agree? Can the five hundred female soldiers agree? Do you know that my aunt was the first to open the gate in Xiang, and the first to trap 20,000 Yi people in Yizhou? Why? It is because others look down on women and never think that women can go to the battlefield, and I do the opposite, so I have made a great contribution. It turns out that female soldiers may not be the best soldiers, but as long as they train hard, they can definitely become qualified soldiers. Five hundred female soldiers can calmly face the attack of 20,000 Yi people. Isn't this good? Since women can fight for a place on the battlefield, why can't they do something else? Whether it's an aunt or a silver screen, they are all very good generals. They fight on the battlefield and don't let Xu Mei. That... The Lu family's name is... The woman named Lu Shan. Which one is not convinced by the study of mental arithmetic? Dr. Yu Shi came to Zhu Ya to check the accounts this time, just because he took her as the biggest support. In this case, why didn't you let her serve in the court directly?

"Do you still want to make a woman an official?" The bridge was confused by Sun Shao, and he felt that he seemed to understand Sun Shao's meaning.

"I don't care whether he is a man or a woman. As long as he is talented, I will use it." Sun Shao waved his hand and said calmly, "Yi Yun is yin and yang. People are divided into men and women. Women account for half of the world's population. Farmer's women do not have so many rules. When Gao Zu sang the people, Queen Lv also went to the field to farm, and the queens of all dynasties also had to do the etiquette of silkworms, thinking that they were the role models for women in the world. I just turned their salute into reality. What's the fuss? Mother, there are also many talents among women. If you abandon them, it will be a great waste for them and for the country. You know, at first, I was going to invite Zhuge Liang's wife to Zhuya. It was because they thought that women should not show up, so they changed his brother Zhuge Jun. However, in my opinion, Zhuge Jun is not a little worse than his sister-in-law Huang Yueying. If Huang Yueying can come, my project process It can be greatly shortened.
