Chapter 1145
According to the script, after Zhu Ju comes over for the banquet, Feng Duhu will talk about the armored cavalry trainee camp, following the topic of leasing the first batch of weapons and armor to Wu.
Then we naturally talked about the training camp a few days ago.
When talking about this matter, it is natural to talk about what we saw and heard along the way.
At that time, some insinuations can further deepen Zhu Ju's psychological implications on the matter of immortality.
I never thought that as soon as Zhu Zhi came up, he would punish himself with three cups of wine.
The twinkling eyes, the slightly guilty look, and the gesture of pouring the wine, it seems that if you ask more questions, I will get drunk and fall down on the spot.
This posture was such that even the far-sighted King Feng Gui didn't know how to proceed.
Zhu Ju was afraid that the topic would be careless, and Zhu Ju would not be aware of human affairs.
With this thought in mind, Feng Duhu carefully organized his words:
“General Zhu has just said that Han and Wu are still allies and are trying to fight against the thieves. The Lord of Wu wants to build a cavalry army to resist Wei’s elite cavalry, and has repeatedly sent envoys to Liaodong.”
"In the past, the Han Dynasty had no ability to help and could only do nothing. Now that the Han Dynasty has rebuilt the racecourse, if we continue to stand by and watch, wouldn't we be an ally in vain?"
It's okay if Feng Duhu didn't say this, but when he said this, Zhu Ju felt even more ashamed.
If his maternal uncle (that is, father-in-law) had not been the emperor of the Wu Kingdom, he might have told the truth and returned the two books to Feng Duhu.
Obviously, that night, Feng Duhu's fellow disciples appeared around Chang'an just for these two booklets - at least partly for these two booklets.
Moreover, it can be known from what is said in "Dian Kingdom Chonggu" that Feng Duhu's division should be on the sea to the east or south of Jiaozhou.
Da Wu is famous for its boat division.
A few years ago, His Majesty also sent people to sea and found some overseas islands.
If we follow the clues in the booklet based on this, it is unlikely that we will be able to find Feng Duhu's sect.
When the time comes, by returning these two books in the name of Emperor Wu, I think I will be able to win the favor of the hidden immortal sect.
Even if Feng Duhu’s overseas disciples cannot be found, aren’t there still fellow disciples in the world?
Anyway, as long as you have these two books in hand, you may have a chance to establish a relationship with the legendary hidden immortal sect.
The Immortal Sect has the magnanimity of an immortal, so how can it be so embarrassing to take advantage of it in vain?
Not to mention sending out his disciples to assist Wu in accomplishing his great cause.
Even if you can get some knowledge that can help the world, that’s enough!
If you don’t see it, even the abandoned disciples can make waves in the world...
With the thought of "for His Majesty's great cause", Zhu Ju could only choose to pretend to be deaf and dumb when faced with Feng Duhu's earnest words.
"These words show how broad-minded Feng Duhu is!" Zhu Ju raised his glass in toast, "Ju Ju thinks he is far inferior. This cup is a private tribute to Feng Duhu!"
Your mother!
Can you speak properly?
How many words have I spoken since I sat down?
How many drinks have you had?
Feng Duhu almost couldn't hold himself back and wanted to reveal the case.
You turned a blind eye when you were supposed to cooperate with me in my performance!
Taking a deep breath, Feng Duhu forced a smile:
"General Zhu has given me the reward. I just tried my best to defeat the thief."
“Come on, play music and dance!”
Can't talk any more.
Then just watch the dance and listen to the song.
Originally I thought about spreading more materials and making a good nest so that I could catch big fish easily.
Unexpectedly, the big fish couldn’t wait to swallow the bait and hook.
The singers borrowed from Liu Yan's house cannot be wasted, so let's go through the motions first.
Feng Duhu raised his glass and drank, then glanced sideways at Zhu Ju→_→
Forget it, let’s give you some face, let’s consider tonight a pure banquet.
Time soon came to October of the second year of Yanxi, and two major events happened in the State of Wu.
The first thing was that the important minister Pan Jun died of illness.
Pan Jun was the Taichang of the Wu State and was deeply trusted by Sun Quan.
When Cao Rui was alive, he wanted to plot the Hanzhong land of Ji Han. He first sent Yin Fan from the dead to the state of Wu, and then secretly sent people to incite the Wuxi barbarians to rebel.
The purpose was to delay the Wu State and prevent it from supporting the Shu State. Unfortunately, Feng turned around and Cao Rui and Cao Zhen finally broke their dreams in Xiaoguan.
However, Cao Rui's layout did cause some trouble for Wu.
Not only was everyone in the Wu court in danger, they were also afraid of being implicated by Yinfan.
Moreover, Sun Quan had to find a way to get someone to lead the army to quell the rebellion in Jingnan.
Finally, it was decided to grant Pan Jun Fujie and let him supervise the army and work with Lu Dai to quell the Wuxi Rebellion.
Fortunately, Pan Jun rewarded and punished appropriately. In a few years, he killed and captured tens of thousands of people. Since then, the Wuxi barbarians have gradually declined.
After the Wuling and other counties in the south of Jingzhou were stabilized, Pan Jun returned to Wuchang and jointly took charge of Jingzhou affairs with Lu Xun.
It can be said that Pan Jun has a great reputation in several counties in the south of Jingzhou.
His death caused quite a stir in the south of Jingzhou.
At exactly this time, the barbarians in Jiaozhou were making trouble—this was also the second major event.
Logically speaking, if there is rebellion in Jiaozhou, it would be most appropriate to send Lu Dai to quell the rebellion.
After all, it was he who put down the Jiaozhou scholar family rebellion back then.
Moreover, he has been guarding Jiaozhou for several years and is most familiar with it.
But Lu Dai was already very old, nearly eighty years old.
In addition, Pan Jun's death was untimely, so Lu Dai, who originally led the army stationed in Puqi (i.e. Xianning, Hubei), was transferred to Wuchang to take Pan Jun's place.
So Sun Quan had no choice but to choose someone else and let General Jiang Mi lead the army to quell the rebellion.
However, for Wu State, it has always been a common thing for the barbarians in the south to cause chaos.
Fortunately, the situation has improved over the years.
After all, Pan Jun first defeated the five barbarians in Jingzhou, and then Zhuge Ke defeated the Yue people in Danyang.
Like this time of rebellion in Jiaozhou, the local area was unable to quell the rebellion on its own, and it was necessary to mobilize troops to quell the rebellion. The momentum was already considerable.
Even so, there is no need to worry too much.
Because most of the barbarians have crude weapons and no organization. As soon as the regular army arrives, they are like snow meeting the scorching sun.
There is nothing wrong with this idea, and the reality is basically the same.
But be cautious in everything.
This time, something unexpected happened.
The reason lies not in the rebelling barbarians in Jiaozhou, but in the internal affairs of the Wu army.
The commander-in-chief, Jiang Mi, had two brothers named Liao Shi and Liao Qian.
The two brothers followed Secretary Jiang to Jiaozhou, where they were halfway through quelling the chaos. After learning that Pan Jun had died of illness, Liao Qian said to Liao Shi:
"I think the only one who can make peace with the state of Wu is Lü Dai. Now Pan Jun has died of illness, and Lü Dai has taken his place. However, he is approaching an old age. Since ancient times, how many people have survived eighty years old?"
"Besides, even if Lu Dai survives, he is so old, how can he lead the army? If Lu Dai does not come, who in Wu State can surrender to Jiaozhou? This is a great opportunity."
At that time, Shi Hui, the son of Shi Xie, was in rebellion in the state. Lu Dai promised the rebels that as long as they surrendered voluntarily, they would protect their family property.
Who would have expected that when they believed Lu Dai's promise and surrendered, they were all executed by Lu Dai for regretting their promise.
The main figures of the scholar family who did not participate in the rebellion were all demoted to common people. A few years later, they were arrested and killed on the pretext of violating national laws.
The Shi family, which had been operating in Jiaozhou for decades, was uprooted by Lu Dai.
These actions of Lu Dai greatly frightened the local snakes in Jiaozhou.
When Liao Qian said this at this time, the implication was already obvious.
Liao Shi's heart suddenly beat, but he still hesitated:
Liao Qian smiled contemptuously:
"Secretary Jiang, I'm just a mediocre person, so why should I be afraid? Besides, at this time, civil unrest is breaking out in all the counties in Jiaozhou, and they are constantly being suppressed. The barbarians are still able to separatize the counties. How about us?"
"Jiaozhou is far away from the heart of the country, and the roads are blocked and the terrain is dangerous. If this thing can really be done, even if Zhao Tuo cannot do it, then he can be a scholar."
Most of the leading and powerful figures in Wu's army have some relationship with local powerful men.
The same goes for the Liao brothers.
They have some relationship with the Liao family in Jingzhou.
In other words, they are a branch of the Liao family in Jingzhou.
The Liao family in Jingzhou, although not as powerful as the Huang family, Cai family, Xi family, etc., can still be regarded as a local wealthy family.
Back then, Wu State stabbed its allies in the back and launched a sneak attack on Jingzhou, which resulted in huge immediate benefits.
But what is lost is long-term credibility.
In this era of trusting promises, many people are deeply disdainful of what Sun Quan did.
As the saying goes, if something is good from above, it will be replicated below.
The betrayal of the alliance did not affect the entire Wu State, but it set an extremely bad example for Jingzhou, the center of the incident:
In the State of Wu, there is no need to talk about etiquette, benevolence, justice and morality. As long as the interests are in place, there is nothing that cannot be done.
If the benefits were greater, stabbing Da Wu in the back would not be a problem at all—for example, brown sugar?
In the view of the Liao brothers, the benefits of being the second Shixie in Jiaozhou were enough to stab Wu in the back.
So Liao Shi took the opportunity to kill Yan Gang, the prefect of Linhe (later Hezhou City), and called himself General Pingnan.
Then he and his brother Liao Qian and others jointly attacked Lingling and Guiyang. The turmoil spread to Cangwu and Yulin counties in Jiaozhou.
In just one month, tens of thousands of people gathered and the momentum was great.
Lü Dai, who was stationed in Wuchang, received news of the unrest in southern Jingzhou and Jiaozhou earlier than Jianye.
He was so anxious that he went directly to see Lu Xun:
"The matter is urgent! If we report it to the imperial court and wait for His Majesty to issue an edict to quell the chaos, I am afraid that Jingnan and Jiaozhou will already be in chaos."
"In my opinion, it would be better if you let me lead the troops southward while you are on the battlefield. Your Majesty is wise and will not blame me in the future."
Lu Xun has guarded Wuchang for many years. Although there has been a gap between him and Sun Quan over the years, he is still nominally the general in charge of half of the country of Wu.
When Lu Xun heard what Lu Dai said, he solemnly said:
"Old General Lu said this too much! When His Majesty moved the capital to Jianye, he once said that everything west of Wuchang would be handled exclusively by Xun."
"Now there are thieves causing trouble in Jingnan, which is under my jurisdiction. State affairs are very important. The old general only needs to lead the army forward, and I will take care of the rest."
After the two men had finished their discussion, Lu Dai led the army to march day and night, gathering officers and soldiers along the way.
Lu Xun personally wrote a letter to Sun Quan, explaining the reasons. At the same time, he also asked Lu Dai to be the pastor of Jiaozhou to rectify his name.
Lu Xun’s memorial was sent to Jianye. Sun Quan did not blame Lu Xun and Lu Dai in the court, but instead praised their decisiveness.
At the same time, he also issued an edict and sent generals Tang Zi and others to continuously reinforce Lu Dai.
After leaving the court, Sun Quan's face immediately became extremely gloomy when he returned to the harem.
In his hand, he held tightly the memorial sent by Lu Xun from Wuchang.
The veins on the back of the hands have popped out.
Seeing His Majesty's appearance, everyone in the palace lowered their hands and lowered their eyebrows, not even daring to breathe.
When Queen Bu was still here, she could often persuade His Majesty. Even if His Majesty was angry, Queen Bu could quickly calm him down.
Since the death of Queen Bu, His Majesty's temper has become increasingly irritable, and the lives of the people in the palace have become increasingly difficult.
It happened that at this time, Lu Yi, the school secretary of the school affairs office, came to report:
"Your Majesty, Zhou Yin, the Marquis of Duxiang, was taught by Your Majesty before, but now he still does not repent, indulges in drunkenness, and is extravagant. Please let Your Majesty decide what crime he should be punished for."
Duxiang Hou Zhou Yin is the second son of Zhou Yu. He has the highest title among the descendants of heroes. In the early years, he led thousands of people to garrison the public security of the important town of Jingzhou, and was deeply appreciated by Sun Quan.
It is a pity that according to the report of the school affairs office, Zhou Yin's actions in the public security failed to live up to Sun Quan's expectations.
Sun Quan, who had no place to vent his anger, immediately cursed:
"What are you talking about? That Shuzi still doesn't know how to repent? Shuzi is young and has no achievements at the beginning. He has received elite soldiers and been given the title of marquis and general. He is thinking of Gong Jin and others."
"I never thought that he was arrogant because of favor. He refused to change despite repeated admonitions. He was very disappointed in me! After passing the imperial edict, he was demoted to a commoner and moved to Luling!"
He was probably very angry, but when he saw Sun Quan talking, he smashed the memorial to the ground.
Zhou Yin’s eldest brother Zhou Xun, who rose to the rank of Cavalry Commander, married the princess Sun Luban. Unfortunately, like his father Zhou Yu, he was unlucky and died young.
So Sun Luban remarried General Wei Quan Cong.
Probably because he and Zhou Xun were of the same ideals, Wei General Quan Cong had always taken good care of Zhou Yin.
After the generals at home and abroad learned of Sun Quan's decision, Quan Cong, Zhuge Jin, Bu Zhi, Zhu Ran and others wrote memorials one after another to plead for Zhou Yin:
Therefore, the general Zhou Yu Ziyin was whitewashed in the past and was appointed as a general. He was unable to nourish him with blessings. He thought of achieving results and indulged in lust, which was a quick way to avoid crimes.
I hope Sun Quan will forgive Zhou Yin for Zhou Yu's fault.
Sun Quan refused to listen and only said:
"When I am alone in Gongjin, my righteousness is as high as that of all the princes. How can I be happy with Yin's accomplishments? He forced Yin to commit crimes and repaid them before they were expedient, and he wanted to suffer them so that he could understand them. With Gongjin's son, and all the princes in the middle, If you can change it, why bother!"
Meaning that my relationship with Gong Jin is the same as that of other princes, I naturally hope to see his son achieve something.
It's just that this son has done too much evil, so it's not appropriate to let him come back immediately. We still have to torture him and temper his temperament.
With his status as the son of Gong Jin and the protection of all the kings, if he is allowed to correct himself, there will be nothing to worry about.
Honghuang's words and sincere words express his longing for Zhou Gongjin and his love for his descendants.
When everyone heard what His Majesty said, it was indeed reasonable, so they had no choice but to send a letter to a certain unlucky kid named Zhou:
You just have to be patient. After a while, His Majesty's anger subsides, and we, the old ministers, will try to persuade His Majesty. Also, during this period, remember that you have behaved better recently, and you will naturally be able to come back then.
What Zhou Yin could do was naturally to stay in Luling obediently.
Probably because he felt that he had not taken good care of Zhou Yin, Quan Cong felt a little guilty, so he thought of another unlucky child named Zhou - Zhou Hu.
Zhou Yu's elder brother had a son named Zhou Jun, who was Zhou Yin's cousin. He died not long ago, leaving behind a son named Zhou Hu.
Quan Cong went to the table again and suggested that Zhou Hu should be allowed to lead the troops left behind by Zhou Jun.
This has always been the practice of Wu State.
Sun Quan didn’t know why, but he didn’t agree:
"In the past, when Cao Cao left Jingzhou, he was the leader of Gong Jin. I never forget him. When I first heard about Jun's death, I still wanted to use him as a protector. I heard that the nature of the protector was dangerous, and using it would cause disaster, so he stopped it. Jin, how can you be so alone!"
In the past, the defeat of Cao Cao and the expansion of Jingzhou were all due to Gong Jin. I have never forgotten it.
Although I also wanted Zhou Hu to lead the army, I heard that he has a violent character and if I use him, it will cause trouble, so I did not let him replace Zhou Jun.
Finally, Emperor Sun looked sad: I have never stopped missing Gong Jin!
Zhou Yin:? ? ?
Zhou Hu:? ? ?
Quan Cong:? ? ?
In the school affairs office, all the school officials praised Lu Yi:
"Lu Zhongshu's plan is really brilliant! In this way, the Zhou family's land in Jingnan over the years may not be preserved, and the school office's sugar cane land will be able to increase a lot."
Lu Yi smiled slightly, but there was a cold light in his eyes:
"This is just a small trick, the one I want is the Crown Princess."
The Crown Princess of Wu State, whose surname is Zhou, is the daughter of Zhou Yu.
At that time, Lu Yi had always kept in mind the incident when the East Palace secretly sent people to speak to His Majesty, which almost led to the destruction of the school affairs office.
The news of Wu State reached Chang'an, and Zhu Ju hurriedly asked Feng Duhu to resign:
"Big events happened one after another in Dawu. I was worried about my lord. I had been away from home for too long. I missed my homeland and wanted to go back to Jiangdong."
Feng Duhu was naturally unwilling to let him go:
“What about the internship camp?”
"It has been nearly two years since the trainee camp came to Dahan, and I have not been following him since. Moreover, it has already entered winter. There are not many things in the army in winter, so there is no need to worry."
Feng Duhu took a deep look at Zhu Ju and finally nodded:
“Since General Zhu has said this, I will explain this matter to Your Majesty tomorrow.”
