Ten miles of Qinhuai, singing and dancing. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The Qinhuai River has become a local feature that cannot be ignored in Jinling City, the capital of the Great Wu Emperor, the business travelers from the south to the north and the scholars and rangers who travel the world, enter this imperial capital, if you don't go to the Qinhuai River, you dare not say that you have come to the imperial capital.

At the same time, this Qinhuai River has also become an important tax place that the imperial court household department cannot give up.

When the night completely fell, the atmosphere on the Qinhuai River began to be ignited instantly, and the thick shouts accompanied by the distant singing and dancing sounds, and the endless flow of people, made people yearn for it.

This night, Qin Huai was still noisy and noisy.

However, in an inconspicuous corner of the river, on an ordinary painting boat, several giants above the Great Wu court gathered together, tasting wine and making fun in bursts of singing and dancing, but there was a lot of gloom under their smiles.

After three rounds of drinking, Zhang Zhao personally retired the singer and dancer, and there was only a pair of eyes left in the painting boat to look at each other.

Today, the people who quietly gathered here are basically Jiangdong ministers, headed by Zhang Zhao, Pan Feng, Cheng Pu, Zhang Hong, and Sun Jing...... These are the pillars of the court left by the first emperor.

They are also the highest-ranking and most powerful people in the court today.

"Sun Zongzheng, the East Palace is hanging in the air, what does Your Majesty mean?"

After half a ring, Zhang Zhao spoke, he looked at Sun Jing directly, without a trace of beating around the bush, and asked directly: "Forget it before, but now that the Central Plains has been unified, if you don't establish the position of the prince, how can you calm the people's hearts!" ”

"Duke Wenguo, now Your Majesty is still young, the prince is young, and the position of the crown prince is not in a hurry at this time!"

When Sun Jing heard this, her face was a little bitter.

He also knew that tonight would be a good feast, but he had to go to the feast.

After all, he, Sun Jing, is now a member of the Jiangdong Laochen faction.

There are many factions in the Great Wu Dynasty, and it is inevitable that there will be confrontations between the subordinate and subordinate factions, and no one can be a lone hero, although they hold the greatest power, but if they do not form a group, they will have been pressed down by the younger faction.

In the struggle for power, there is no persuasion to respect the old and love the young.

After the unification of the Central Plains, many officials were less burdened, and their desire for power was also much more obvious, and the competition of the imperial court had begun to gradually put it on the bright side.

"Sun Zongzheng, don't I know you yet, don't fight with me haha, I know, you must have discussed with Your Majesty when you were in Taishan, and Your Majesty should have given you an explanation to settle your heart, otherwise you should be more anxious than me about this matter!"

Zhang Zhao squinted slightly, glanced at Sun Jing, and there was a hint of coldness in his eyes: "If you don't have a bottom in your heart, the Sun family will not be so calm, the position of the prince is very important, it will affect the current pattern of the imperial court, you should also explain to me!" ”

In the court dispute, there is never a right or wrong.

Only the party is the same.

The Central Plains is unified, and the situation in the court has been stabilized, but the struggle in the court is always inevitable, the rights between the old and new courtiers are alternate, and the enemies and the court are ministers who have clashed with each other, there are too many contradictions that cannot be kneaded.

"Sun Zongzheng, what Wen Guogong said, you should indeed explain this matter to us, let us also rest assured!"

Cheng Pu said in a low voice.

"It stands to reason that Your Majesty is so much younger than us, and none of us can survive Your Majesty, so we won't be in power for too long, but we can still control the power now, and we have to think about it for our descendants!"

"I'm afraid that I can't see the current situation, if we stand in the wrong team at that time, I'm afraid that we will be in trouble for the Nine Clans!"

"Sun Zongzheng should give us some news, at least let us feel at ease!"

Everyone, you say a word, I say a word, and a pair of eyes are staring at Sun Jing.

"I don't know much, but it is in line with His Majesty's plan, what I can say is that in a short period of time, His Majesty has no intention of establishing a prince, and in the next four or five years, or even ten or twenty years, the position of this prince will probably be vacant!"

Facing the infiltrating eyes of several people, Sun Jing was silent for a long time, smiled a little bitterly, and thought about it before speaking.

"What does that mean?"

Zhang Zhao frowned slightly.

It's hard to say whether he will survive ten years.

After Zhu Zhi came back from Jizhou, he became more and more powerful in the cabinet, and he had begun to overexert his influence, and there was a Gu Yong behind him, and he could sit in the position of first assistant for how long, I can't say.

"Your Majesty said that there must be a qualified heir to the country of Great Wu, and the country of Great Wu was brought down by the Sun family, and he must personally select an outstanding prince from among the descendants of the Sun family!"

Sun Jing told it all and said, "So he decided that in the Sun family, whoever can perform the best will be the most likely to inherit his throne!" ”

"What?"

"It's not playing the piano!"

"I always thought that the position of the prince must be the three princes, but now it seems that the situation is complicated!"

"In this way, the scope of the prince's selection will be larger!"

When everyone heard this, their color changed slightly.

"I want to know His Majesty's mind!"

Zhang Hong raised his head, looked at Sun Jing, and said in a low voice.

"Hehe, I also want to know, but His Majesty's heart is too deep, who is he optimistic about, don't talk about me, even Xu Shu and Guo Jia, who are following him now, can't figure it out!"

Sun Jing complained with a bitter face, thought about it, and then added: "But as far as I know, there are a few candidates that Your Majesty is currently optimistic about, the first son of the first emperor, Sun Dong, Your Majesty's younger brother, he was originally raised by His Majesty, and his style of action is very His Majesty's style, the second, Sun Shao, the son of Jiang Guogong, this person entered the palace at a young age, and often accompanied His Majesty's left and right, His Majesty is deep, and his father Jiang Guogong's power in the court is not weak, and the third is my eldest brother's son Sun Fu, This person is the oldest, but he has a lot of courage and courage, young and young, he has already commanded the Black Mountain Army, and there is the eldest prince and the second prince, and now he is also beginning to grow up, I have tried, slightly ambitious, the eldest prince has Cai's protégé behind him to support, and the second prince has the business community behind him, although he is not very old, and he has a bad reputation in the palace school, and he is greedy for fun, but as far as I know, neither of them is a fuel-efficient lamp! ”

Everyone listened very carefully, and the more they listened, the heavier their hearts were.

Since ancient times, the most feared thing in the battle of the imperial court is to stand on the wrong side.

How to stand in line this time will have a great impact on whether they can keep the rights in their hands in the future.

"In fact, this situation is not necessarily a bad thing!"

Zhang Zhao pondered for a while, and his political wisdom reacted quickly, and said: "Your Majesty wants the descendants of the Sun family to fight for it, and then elect a good prince to inherit the huge country of Great Wu, which is reasonable, and for us, it may be good news!" ”

"Good news? Wen Guogong's meaning......"

Pan Feng was about to leave for the Western Regions, but he was also very concerned about the hanging matter in the East Palace, after all, the prince was related to the pattern of the court in the future.

"Wu Guogong, think about it, if this news spreads, I believe that many factions in the DPRK and China will be moved!" Zhang Hong squinted at the old guy Zhang Zhao, and added lightly: "Don't be afraid that they won't move, as long as they move, we will be safe!" ”

What they are most afraid of is that the young people will twist together and drive them out of their positions.

If the people of the other factions fight first, they will be stable.

"I'm afraid no one will be able to sit still!"

Pan Feng's eyes suddenly brightened.

"They went to charge, after a few fights, the situation is clear, we are shooting, we just need to sit firmly on the Diaoyutai and reap the benefits of the fishermen? Shousuke is a good idea. ”

Everyone reacted and immediately showed a smile.

"Back then, we followed the first emperor's southern expedition to the north, conscientious, after two dynasties, witnessed the rise of the Great Wu Dynasty in just over ten years, and now we are old, and we have to calculate the juniors, ashamed!"

Zhang Zhao couldn't help but sigh.

He didn't want to do this either, but the power in his hands was very heavy, so he let it go like this, and he was always unwilling, some things are easy to pick up, but it is difficult to put them down.

"We were originally a whetstone for Your Majesty!"

Zhang Hong said indifferently: "Your Majesty is now conniving at us to compete for power and profit, and even towards us, isn't it just that we are trying to sharpen the juniors who are now above the court and have not yet become a climate?" ”

"Although the civil and military forces of the imperial court are now headed by us, there are many rising stars, the faction of generals led by Lu Bu Juyi, the faction of Xichuan Gong led by Zhuge Liang Chen, the faction of Jiangguo Gong led by Zhou Yu and Sun Ce, the family faction led by Gu Yong and Lu Xun, and among the younger generation, there are also Sumen Buzishan, they are now in high positions, they are all from academies, and they have pulled up their own factions, and Lu Meng and their martial arts factions have gradually gained a foothold in the army!"

Someone couldn't help but sigh and said: "It's not easy for us old guys to sit here now, and it's reasonable to use some means to deal with them!" ”

"That's the end of it!"

Zhang Zhao's eyes swept over, facing everyone, and said calmly: "What we have to do now is to be stable, if we do too much, I'm afraid Your Majesty will take action to clean us up, everyone, although we live in the court in a group, but it's better to keep a low profile, once we are targeted into a party for personal gain, it's not a good thing!" ”

"Hmm!"

"It should be low-key!"

"Do your duty, can you see it, or don't see it!"

Everyone nodded, all with straight faces and awe-inspiring expressions.

But they probably didn't expect that in just one night, the content of the small meeting between several of them had already reached the Forbidden Palace.

……

"Lao Ji is in the woods, and his ambitions are thousands of miles!" When Sun Quan heard this, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but raise a sneer: "These old guys, their energy is getting stronger and stronger, it seems that after the reunification of the Central Plains, they see a sense of crisis, so they are more and more concerned about the matter of the prince!" ”

"Your Majesty, the matter of establishing a prince is related to the future situation of the entire imperial court, and it is also related to the interests of each of them, the ministers in the imperial court, who dares not to pay attention to this matter!"

Li Rubi stood respectfully beside him and replied in a low voice.

Although the center of gravity of Jinyiwei was prepared to be placed in the Western Regions, the power withdrawn from Cao Wei was used on the courtiers of the Great Wu Dynasty.

Monitoring their subordinates is their main job.

After all, although Cao Wei surrendered, there are still many courtiers who are somewhat resistant to the Great Wu Imperial Court in their hearts, and it is a big policy to let Cao Wei's ministers integrate into the Great Wu Court.

Those who can enter the center basically use their pens, and the people who suffer below are the people of Dawu, and they can't make any mistakes.

Since they are staring at these ministers, it is inevitable that they will also be staring at the ministers who are now in high positions in the Great Wu Dynasty, Zhang Zhaochengpu and they are all ministers who stomp their feet and the entire Great Wu Dynasty will be earthquaked, and their heads of civil and military affairs get together for a small meeting, this kind of thing naturally can't hide from their eyes.

"Old Li Tou, according to what you say, Lu Bu, Gu Yong, and Zhou Yu will also move?"

Sun Quan narrowed his amber crystal eyes, and said in a deep voice: "I ask myself that I am still young, don't say too much, it's no problem to live for twenty or thirty years, do you need to be so nervous about the position of a prince?" ”

"Your Majesty, they shouldn't be moving in the past few years!"

Li Ru thought for a while and shook his head: "Zhang Zhao they are old, in the face of oppression, there is a sense of crisis in their hearts, for fear that they will not be able to fight when they retire in the future, and they want to leave a way back for their children and grandchildren when they have the ability, so it is normal to be extremely worried about the problem of the prince, but Lu Bu and Gu Yong are younger than Zhang Zhao, they have time, energy, and hard work, and in their hearts, Your Majesty is still young now, there is no need to fight for the matter of the prince, but let Your Majesty down!" ”

"Hmph, they are stable now, but it is estimated that they will not be stable for long, if the Western Roman Empire that I have taken is the final goal of the strategy and realizes the ambition of the Great Wu Dynasty to be the same as the world, they will definitely move, and it is related to their own interests, they will have a fight sooner or later!"

Sun Quan had a strong premonition in his heart, I am afraid that this battle for the prince of the Great Wu Dynasty may break out in ten or twenty years, but its fierceness, I am afraid that he may not be able to suppress it.

When Li Ru heard this, he fell silent.

I'm afraid that he can't help but get involved in this matter at that time, after all, Jinyiwei can't be high, and he will have to stand in line after all.

"Let go of this matter first, there is me, there is no chaos!"

Sun Quan asked, "By the way, what is the situation on the Cao side?" ”

He left too many Cao Wei subordinates and generals, which is a big hidden danger, but the snake has no head, as long as there is no Cao family, these Cao Wei ministers will not be able to become a climate.

I'm afraid that the Cao family will toss.

"Your Majesty, Wei Guogong is very smart!" Li Ru replied: "The wisdom of his age is second only to His Majesty I have ever seen!" ”

"Clever?"

There was a hint of discoloration in Sun Quan's eyes, and he said, "You make it clear!" ”

"Your Majesty, do you remember Cao Zhang?"

"Of course!" Sun Quan nodded: "After Zhang He took over as the commander of the Guanzhong Army, didn't I let him go?" ”

After the war, the damned ones are already dead, and the ones that should be released are also released, and now there is only one one, Ma Chao, Ma Mengqi.

"After Cao Zhang was freed, he was unwilling, he secretly met with Zhang He and Zhong Xuan, and wanted to rebel against them and raise troops against Wu, but Wei Guogong came forward and pressed him, and finally imprisoned him in the mansion of Wei Guogong!"

"Haha!"

When Sun Quan heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and suddenly laughed heartily: "As soon as you say this, I am much more relieved, no matter whether he Cao Chong is sincere in surrendering or pretending to surrender, he can understand the situation, so he will not be in vain to override public opinion, reward him as the Duke of Wei, let him control the Cao family, I am optimistic about this kid, he is an adult, he will be a rare talent!" ”

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid that he is too smart and has a big plan!"

"What are you afraid of?" Sun Quan asked.

"Prince!"

Li Ru said bluntly: "The Cao family is not available, this is the mentality of the courtiers, the Cao family is now our bargaining chip to control Cao Wei's subordinates, but if the Cao family wants to recover, it is not without a chance, they are not allowed to be in the current court, but they may not be allowed in the future king, if there is a dragon merit, the rise of the Cao family, it is not impossible!" ”

"The Cao Wei court has been destroyed, but most of the officials left by Cao Cao have been collected by my Great Wu Dynasty, otherwise we can't replenish the management gap in a short time after collecting so many territories, Cao Cao is very charismatic, and if he dies, many people will lay the foundation of him, the Cao family is not without roots in my Great Wu Dynasty, but the foundation is very deep and the influence is also great!"

Sun Quan thought for a while and said: "If they want to compete above the prince, they do have this ability, but this is all in the future, no one can say, let them go, employing people is a science, I really want to see if my heir can use this knife well!" ”

——————————————————————————————

Time is like water, time passes, and in a blink of an eye, it has entered April of the first year of Tianquan.

In the spring of March, the spring of April, the spring is strong, the flowers around Jinling City are in full bloom, up and down the mountain, inside and outside the city, the fragrance of flowers fills every corner, which makes people feel refreshed.

Cabinet Hall.

A heavy atmosphere of the meeting was being discussed.

"Your Majesty, this is the current preparation of the world territory completed by our cabinet, and it has passed the cabinet meeting, please take a look at it!" Zhang Zhao stood up from his position, walked to the top of the lobby, and personally handed over a file to Sun Quan.

Under the lobby, the cabinet ministers, their eyes were solemn, staring at Sun Quan's expression, not letting go of the slightest micro-expression.

"The efficiency of the cabinet is good, I see!"

Sun Quan's face was straight, and he was doing the first chair, and it seemed that Zhang Zhao handed over the dossier, and looked at it very carefully: "The six counties of Jiangdong are divided into three states, Wuzhou, Zhangzhou, Jizhou, the east of Jiaozhou is Guangzhou, the north is Wuzhou, the southwest is Jiaozhou, Jingzhou is headed by Nanjun, the territory of Nanzhou, Jiangxia is the main Xiazhou, Changsha is the main Shazhou, and the southwest of Jingzhou is Wuzhou!" ”

This is a major local reform.

The system of recalling the previous state and county uses a new state and county system.

"The land of Bashu, the north is Bazhou, Shuzhou, Hanzhong is Hanzhou, the south is Yizhou, Yunzhou, the western counties of Liangzhou are Dunhuang Prefecture, the land of Hanyang in Longxi is Liangzhou, the Qiang tribe is headed by Jishi Mountain, and Qiang Prefecture is ......"

Sun Quan read the dossier and read it silently.

He is well aware that the re-demarcation of local boundaries is a very troublesome matter, there are too many doorways involved, and there is too much work to be done to come up with a new local system. (To be continued.) )
