Chapter 94 Dragons in the World Finale.

Cao Rui hesitated for a while. He looked up and down at Sun Shao, but Sun Shao just smiled inexplicably. Cao Rui wanted to ask him, is Cao Zhang and Cao Zhi's prince the same as their existing four kings? If so, then the Cao family will inevitably have the trouble of fighting for orthodoxy in the future. If these three newly awarded kings are slightly lower than the existing four kings, it will be better.

However, he couldn't ask.

After a little thought, the emperor understood the meaning. He smiled and said, "Today, I invite you to discuss this matter. The title of king is a big deal. You don't have to worry about it. You don't have to worry about it. You can think about it first and discuss it in a few days."

Cao Rui breathed a sigh of relief. He was afraid that Sun Shao would interrupt. He quickly bowed and said, "Your Majesty Shengming."

Sun Shao is indispensable. Liu Chan feels that it has nothing to do with it. It's just a pity that Li Yan can't come back. It's a pity that he is an auxiliary minister left by his father at the beginning.

"You are generous, so I issued an edict to prepare to be a craftsman. As soon as your three thousand gold arrives, I will start work immediately." The emperor looked at Cao Rui with a smile and said intentionally or unintentionally, "That's right, Sun Qing, should Wu Guo also follow the example?"

Sun Shaoyi shrugged his shoulders and said, "This is your majesty's business. Don't talk too much."

"Then I can give an edict to the King of Wu." The emperor sighed: "Well, the king of Wu is a few years younger than me. Why is his body so weak? Zhuqing, I'm really worried about him. Although he has appointed a prince, Sun Ba is young after all. Once something happens, he may not be able to keep it."

Sun Shao didn't say anything, and he didn't hear it. When the emperor saw it, he didn't say anything more. He talked and talked about other topics.

... Cao Rui returned to the Wei King's Mansion and immediately called Liu Fang and Sun Zi, who were with him, to tell him what had just happened. In front of these two cronies, he did not hide anything and said his worries directly.

Liu Fangziqi, a native of Zhuo County, is currently a Chinese calligraphy supervisor, Sun Zizi Yanlong, a native of Taiyuan, and a current Chinese calligraphy order. Not long ago, the two have just sealed the Marquis of Guannei. This is rare in the State of Wei, which focuses on war achievements. They deal with confidential matters for Cao Rui and are well-deserved confidants.

Liu Fang quietly listened to Cao Rui's worries and hesitated for a while. This matter involved the Cao royal family. It was not a simple state affair, and it was difficult to deal with. After being with Cao Rui for a long time, he more or less heard some rumors, saying that Cao Zhi and Cao Rui's mother Zhen's wife had an unclear relationship. It doesn't matter whether it's true or not. He has seen a lot of royal filth. Specifically, in this matter, he can only believe it, and he can't believe it. In case there is such a thing, if he said it to Cao If the unfavorable words spread to the empress dowager's ears in the future, won't he be unlucky?

Sun Zi saw that Liu Fang didn't say anything, but he said directly, "I don't think it's appropriate."

Cao Rui looked at him quietly, picked up the teacup and blew it gently, and asked in a relaxed tone, "Why?"

"If they are all kings, and they are with the king, won't the king salute them when they meet in the future?" Sun Zi said slowly, "Everyone is a king, and their generation is higher. In case there is any dispute, who will it listen to? Moreover, General Ziwen's surname is Ge Haoshuang and likes to be nosy. What if he interferes in the affairs of the State of Wei?

Cao Rui frowned gently and had a headache. In view of Cao Zhi's struggle for the throne at the beginning, Cao Rui has always been very strict against the clan, and Cao Yan has many sons. Most of them have different opinions about Cao Yan's transfer of the throne of Wei to Cao Rui. When Cao Yan was alive, they dared not say anything. Cao Yan passed away, but they gradually heard some injustice. In the past, they were limited to dignity and inferiority, and they did not dare to express it face to face, but if Cao Zhang and Cao Zhi were also called the king, they would have two more choices. In case of running away, where would Cao Rui's face go?

Seeing that Cao Rui was in a dilemma, Liu Fang also made up his mind and echoed, "I think Yan Long's discussion is very good. The uncle and nephew of the Sun family are Xianjian. Although their surname is Sun, didn't Sun Shao abruptly snatch the South China Sea from Sun Quan? In this Western Expedition of the Four-Nation Alliance, Wei and Shu got benefits from it, but the State of Wu had no benefits. Tens of thousands of people were eaten by Sun Shao, and there was no sound. If the two generals are also called kings, and they are the king of the king, I'm afraid it's not a good thing for the Cao family.

Seeing that the two confidants were in agreement, Cao Rui also nodded: "But this is the letter of the King of Yue. If I object, won't it be difficult to cooperate in the future?"

Liu Fang shook his head and said, "I think that the king of Yue may not want these three people to become the same kingdom as Wei, Shu and Wu Yue."

"Oh?"

"The king of Yue's western expedition, because of his own strength, although he took Persia, he had to divide the vassals, and the non-Vietnam force accounted for a lot of proportion. The king of Yue intended to arrange the descendants of Tai to sit down and seal the city of Taixi. His intention was very clear, and he wanted to gradually conquer Xiyi with the power of the armies. Sun Feng is just a prince of Yue. He may be able to command several marquis, but can he still command the king? Liu Fang smiled confidently: "This is just a plan for the king of Yue to capture."

Cao Rui suddenly realized and laughed dumbly. He paused for a moment: "Then how to give him a step down?"

"Talk to him about cooperation." Sun Zi rushed to say, "He wants to march to the east. Liaodong must be the front line, and the State of Wei can become his ally again."

Cao Rui nodded repeatedly.

... Yang Xiu quickly walked into the Chengguang Palace. The emperor and the prince were sitting face to face. As soon as they saw Yang Xiu, the prince quickly got up and stood behind the emperor. The emperor pointed to the prince's original seat: "Yang Qing, sit down!"

Yang Xiu quickly shook his head: "The king's table, how dare I sit?"

"You might as well." The emperor smiled and said, "I'm going to trouble you with something today."

"Your Majesty, please speak frankly that I will not die."

"It's not that serious, but it's not a trivial matter." The emperor stood up and took two steps back in a row. The smile on his face gradually turned heavy. He stood at the door of the temple, looked at the bright sunshine outside, and was silent for a moment. Suddenly, he said sadly, "After counting, Yang Gong has been gone for 14 years."

"Thirteen years, four months and eleven days." Yang Xiu said without thinking.

The emperor turned his head and looked at Yang Xiu and nodded, "Do you now know why Mr. Yang must send you to the State of Yue as an official?"

Yang Xiu nodded silently: "I have understood that I am willing to serve your majesty."

"I am very relieved." The emperor exhaled a long breath: "Although my great man has gone through hardships, he is not submissive, because there is a gentleman like Mr. Yang and his son. Emperor Guangwu awarded the festival for two hundred years, which is the foundation of the founding of my Han Dynasty. Dezu, Yang Gong died in order to assist me. Not only that, he also considered more for me. You follow the king of Yue to the west and know the affairs of the State of Yue very well. Now it's time to go back to the court to assist me.

"I... I have been waiting for this for two years." Yang Xiu choked.

"All right, all right." The emperor nodded with emotion and was very satisfied with Yang Xiu's loyalty. Nowadays, ordinary people are willing to go to the State of Yue as an official. Few people go to the State of Yue and are willing to return to the court in Luoyang, because except for a name, the court is not as strong as the State of Yue in all aspects. Most of the Northern Army that went out with Cao Zhang this time stayed in Persia, and only Xun Yan returned to Luoyang with some officers. The emperor was very grateful and immediately made Xun Jun Lang Zhongling, and those officers were also promoted.

"Dezu, your most important task now is to teach my prince well." The emperor gently patted Yang Xiu's back, "I have been weak in virtue and struggled all my life. I barely saved a little foundation of my ancestors, but I didn't have the ability to restore the glory of that year. Now I'm like walking on thin ice, trembling, afraid that if I don't deal with it properly, I will fall into a doomed place. Now that I am old, even if I have all kinds of ambitions, I don't have time to struggle. I can only put my will on future generations. Although the prince is not a smart person, he is still loyal. Dezu, you should teach him well.

"I... I will die." Yang Xiu knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly.

"Get up, get up." The emperor bent down, helped Yang Xiu, asked him to sit on the table, and then ordered the prince to go forward to worship the teacher. Yang Xiu didn't dare to accept it, but for the sake of the dignity of the teacher, he still received a salute and solemnly ordered a few words, so he avoided the banquet and returned the salute to the prince.

After all the etiquette, the prince began to ask according to the rules, "Excuse me, sir, what is my biggest difficulty at present?"

Yang Xiu stroked the short beard under his jaw, looked at the respectful prince in front of him, and was silent for a long time before saying, "It's the gap between the prince and the descendants of Yue Taifu."

The prince was stunned. This answer was obviously beyond his expectation. He turned around and looked at the emperor for help. The emperor was also a little stunned, but he quickly reacted: "So, the danger of the big man is not the king of Yue, but the prince of Yue?"

"You can say so." Yang Xiu said slowly, "I have been with the King of Yue for several years. I have devoted myself to observing the King of Yue. I know that although he is talented and rare in the world, for the big man, he has some incomprehensible loyalty." He took a look at the emperor, "Although he is not humble enough to his majesty, his love for the big man is difficult for anyone to surpass."

The emperor blinked his eyes, thought for a while, nodded and smiled: "Yes, the reason why the fire of my great man can't be extinguished has a lot to do with his loyalty. There was the Duke of Cao before and the king of Yue later. If it hadn't been for the maintenance of the king of Yue, I'm afraid that the big man would have ceased to exist long ago. I still vividly see the scene where he forced everyone to break the chopsticks and swear on the East China Sea.

"Your Majesty's words are reasonable." Yang Xiu breathed a sigh of relief and then said, "The king of Yue is unruly and not polite, but he has never thought of destroying the Han Dynasty. He would rather go thousands of miles away to conquer Persia than provoke war in the territory of the Han Dynasty. In fact, the reason why he arranged Cao Zhang, Cao Zhi and Li Yan as kings in Persia was for the same purpose.

If the emperor understands something, he can't help nodding.

"I dare to say that the king of Yue will not be destroyed in his lifetime, but what about after the king of Yue?" Yang Xiu said worriedly, "The descendants of the Empress Yue are only 20 years old and have made such achievements. Although the King of Yue has decided to let him sit in the lockdown of Taixi, in the next 20 or 30 years, he may be committed to the conquest of Xiyi and have no time to look around. However, what I am worried about is that once the expedition is too smooth, or the expedition is not smooth, causing him to decide to turn his attention back to China. At that time, I'm afraid..."

The emperor's eyes widened and couldn't help taking a cold breath. He recognized the meaning of Yang Xiu's words. Sun Shao is alive, and the Han Dynasty is worry-free. Twenty or thirty years later, Sun Shao is also old. Sun Feng will inherit the State of Yue. If his expedition in Persia is smooth, he may have pocketed a large area of land in 20 or 30 years, and his strength is unimaginable. If the expedition is not smooth, he may retreat and return to the Han Dynasty to seek development. No one can be his opponent either.

At that time, the survival of the big man may be just an idea of Sun Feng. Sun Shao doesn't want Han. How can he know if he wants to be the king of Zhou Wen?

Twenty or thirty years later, it will be the time when the prince faces Sun Feng. Whether the Han can survive depends on the strength and wisdom between the prince and Sun Feng. Judging from the current situation, if the prince can keep his current territory, it will be a great victory, let alone anything else.

While the emperor is frightened, it is mixed with a trace of loss. Doesn't the big man have any hope? Even if there are people like Yang Xiu to help, ZTE is just an illusory dream?

Yang Xiu couldn't take his eyes off the emperor. Looking at the emperor's expression from shock to depression, and from depression to pain, he never said anything. He knew that the emperor still had some unrealistic ideas. If he didn't break these ideas first, he was worried that the emperor would do something stupid. He was around Sun Shao for two or three years, and he knew the strength of the State of Yue. If it hadn't been for Sun Shao's belief that he called "loyalty" first, he would have been afraid that the big man would have become the past. In fact, he doesn't fully believe in Sun Shao, but what else can he do besides believing in Sun Shao? Although he is conceited and talented, he has no confidence in whether he can play against Sun Shao, and he can only hope on Sun Shao's conscience.

He looked at 20 or 30 years later. He did not dare to expect that he could teach the prince to be stronger than Sun Feng, but he hoped to do his best to teach the prince to be a heavenly son who knew how to advance and retreat. He did not seek merit, but he did not seek fault. It was the greatest victory to keep the existing territory.

... The next time became very pleasant for Sun Shao. Cao Rui took the initiative to express his goodwill to him, hoping to strengthen cooperation with him. The emperor was also very polite to him. He had a small banquet for three days and a big banquet for five days. He also let the prince take the initiative to get close to Sun Feng. Liu Chan did not do much. He often came to chat with Sun Feng. In addition to some irrelevant gossip, it hardly involved state affairs. It was not until two months later that Shi Ma, the prime minister of Shu, arrived in Luoyang at night and began to negotiate relevant cooperation matters. Ma Yan brought Zhuge Liang's opinion and greatly agreed with Li Yan's king. At the same time, he suggested that in the next eastern expedition, he should include a share of the state of Shu. He even chose a general, that is, Ma Youchang in front of him.

Sun Shao agreed one by one, and the negotiation of specific details was handed over to Sun Feng.

After the negotiations lasted until another New Year, the soldiers who had a fief in Persia began to gather with their families one after another. Sun Shao arranged to pick them up on the big ships in Chengdu, Yuzhang, Qingzhou and Qiantang, and took advantage of the north wind to go south one after another to rush to the special pastoral city. In February, Sun Shao and his son said goodbye to the emperor and rushed to the special pastoral city.

In April, the banners of Dishi Port were displayed, and more than 300 buildings were full of Dishi Port. Sun Feng was about to leave the Special Pastoral City with a huge fleet and set off for the Persian Gulf. I don't know which year he would turn back. From the Empress Dowager Bridge to the Queen Guanfeng, they were reluctant to send and sent the accompanying princess Zhang Yu and Mrs. Yang Huiyu couldn't persuade him.

Only Sun Shao was very calm and stood not far away and waited quietly.

Sun Feng spent half a day's effort, and finally promised to come back every two years. Daqiao and Guan Feng reluctantly let go.

Sun Feng carefully sent them off the ship. Then he breathed a sigh of relief. He rushed to Sun Shao's side and bowed and said, "Father, my son is about to leave."

"Oh." Sun Shao, who had been watching the distant view, answered. After a while, he turned his head and looked at Sun Feng and said, "Have a good trip."

"Thank you, Father." Sun Feng opened his mouth and seemed to have something to say. Sun Shao saw it and smiled: "If you have anything to say, just ask directly."

Sun Feng smiled awkwardly and waved his hand to let the people around him retreat. Only the father and son were left on the huge deck. Then he whispered, "I dare to ask my father, what if the Romans knew that Philip was not Alexander's son?"

Sun Shao smiled silently. He carried his hands behind his back and walked forward slowly. Sun Feng arched his hands and also walked step by step. Neither of them spoke, and only heard footsteps echoing on the deck for a moment. Sun Shao slowly walked to the springboard, raised his hand, gently supported Sun Feng's back, and pushed him to the springboard. Sun Feng was puzzled, but he did not dare to disobey. He hesitated and stepped on the springboard with one foot.

"Feng'er." Sun Shao suddenly said, "You know, the reason why I didn't enter Rome immediately after taking Tysimon is not because Philip is your brother, but because it is impossible to take Rome with our current strength. Yes, we have the most powerful warships in the world, we have the best weapons in the world, and the best warriors in the world, but you should remember that by force alone, we may be able to conquer barbarians like Xianbei and Xiongnu, and we may be able to conquer countries like Sasanne and Guishuang, but we can't conquer. It is a great country like Rome that has been established for hundreds of years. Remember, defeating does not mean conquering, just like the Romans defeated the Greeks, not conquering Greece, and Antipa defeating Persia, which is not the same as conquering Mesopotamia. At any time, you can't give up the right to use force, but if you think that force is omnipotent, you are not far from failure.

Sun Feng listened quietly. Sun Shao had told him a lot about this truth. At this time, it seemed to be a little superfluous, but he knew that Sun Shao said this so solemnly, it was definitely not because the separation was imminent. A father couldn't help saying a few more words to his son. He tasted Sun Shao's words carefully, and suddenly, he understood what Sun Shao meant.

Whether to attack Rome or not is not because of Philip, but whether the time has come to truly conquer Rome.

Sun Shao saw that Sun Feng's eyes lit up and knew that he should understand what he meant. He smiled, reached out to straighten Sun Feng's well-dressed hair crown, and gently stroked his face that was blown black by the wind of West Asia: "Only the strong can tolerate people. I believe you won't tolerate your brother. Do it well, I I believe you can make the most accurate choice.

"Oh." Sun Feng bowed and obeyed his orders. He bowed two more times and swallowed, "Father, take care, my son and minister have gone." After saying that, he took two steps back, flirted with a big man, stepped on a brisk pace, and walked to his own boat.

Guan Feng walked to Sun Shao's side, looked at the building boat that raised the sails, and couldn't help but shed tears again. Sun Shao looked back at her and smiled. He stretched out his hand and took Guan Feng's hand and pinched it: "What are you not satisfied with with such a good son? A good man's ambition is in all directions. You should be happy."

"But..." Guan Feng wiped her red and swollen eyes and choked, "I don't know when I can come back. How can you make me not think about it?"

"He doesn't have time to come back. Just go."

"That's true. I also want to see what Rome looks like, what his Roman brother looks like, and what the queen of Rome is..."

Sun Shao rolled his eyes and subconsciously let go of Guan Feng's hand. He turned around and shouted at the children standing in the distance, "Children, who wants to go on a long voyage like your brother? I'll take you there."

"I'm going! I'm going!" A group of big and small children and girls shouted. Five-year-old Sun Xiaoman walked vigorously. He rushed into Sun Shao's arms first, grabbed Sun Shao's short beard under his jaw, and said with a quacking smile, "Father, I'm going to hunt polar bears!" I'm going to America!"

"Father, I'm going too!" The two descendants of the seven-year-old father-in-law took a formal salute and said solemnly.

"Go to everything." Sun Shao laughed, waved his hand, and said loudly, "Children, go and conquer--"

"Oh--" The girls and the kids shouted excitedly, "Go and conquer--"

Xia Houhui glanced at Guan Feng, covered his mouth, and couldn't help laughing softly.
