Chapter 1147 Everything is right
In the last month of the second year of Yanxi, Zuo General Zhu Ju finally returned to Jianye before the meeting of the imperial court.
After Zhu Ju returned to Jianye, he immediately requested to enter the palace to meet His Majesty.
with the news that Zhu Ju had returned to Jiangdong all the way, he received him immediately.
"Official minister, pay homage to your majesty!"
“Zifan please get up.”
Sun Quan was in a good mood. He personally stepped forward to help Zhu Ju up, looked him up and down, and said with a smile:
“It’s been two years since Zifan went to Chang’an, right? Are you used to living there? Is your health still good?”
Zhu Ji, who was originally unhappy with the fact that he came back on his own initiative without consulting His Majesty in advance, felt relieved when he saw Sun Quan's appearance.
At the same time, I was a little moved:
“Thank you for Your Majesty’s concern. Everything is fine. I just miss Your Majesty a little too much.”
"I have received your majesty's trust and was sent to the Han Kingdom to learn the art of cavalry warfare. In the past two years, I have kept your majesty's teachings in mind and have not dared to relax for a moment."
“I came back in a hurry because of urgent matters. I hope your majesty will forgive me.”
Sun Quan laughed:
"Why should Zifan be like this? Although I have not been able to see what you are like in Han, the correspondence between me and the emperor of Han has never been interrupted."
“The Emperor of the Han Dynasty has always admired you, saying that you are talented in both civil and military affairs and have good knowledge in governing the body.”
“I heard that even Feng Mingwen often mentioned you in front of the emperor of Han Dynasty, praising you for your humility in taking over the army. You are worthy of being a hero from Jiangdong.”
Zhu Ju listened to the previous words and thought about being humble. Unexpectedly, His Majesty actually mentioned Feng Mingwen.
Feng Mingwen never expected that Feng Mingwen would have such an evaluation of himself.
I thought that Feng Mingwen was open and selfless, both to Da Wu and to himself, but as for himself, he deceived the other party and stole secrets.
Zhu Ju was originally a little excited, but suddenly he fell to the bottom, and at the same time he lowered his head in shame.
Feeling the obvious change in Zhu Zhi's mood, Sun Quan couldn't help but feel a little strange:
“Zifan, what’s wrong with you?”
Zhu Ju smiled bitterly:
“Your Majesty, the biggest reason why I came back this time is actually because of Feng Mingwen.”
Sun Quan couldn't help but frowned when he saw his expression:
“Sit down first and tell me slowly, what happened to Feng Mingwen?”
“Didn’t you say in your previous letter that Feng Mingwen had no secrets and asked people to carefully teach the army about cavalry?”
“Could it be possible that Feng Mingwen did something shady these days to prevent Da Wu from forming a cavalry army?”
I don’t blame Emperor Sun for thinking this way.
Although after the Han Dynasty captured Guanzhong, Liu Chan had a reputation for knowing people and making good use of them.
But as both emperors, how could Sun Quan not know that the state affairs of the Han Dynasty were governed by Zhuge Liang before him and Feng Mingwen after him.
Adou is just sitting back and enjoying the success.
Sun Quan didn’t have much to say about Adou being a trustworthy king—after all, Sun Quan thought he couldn’t do just building a temple for Zhuge Liang.
But if we want to attribute the current prosperity of the Han Dynasty to Adou, it is better to attribute it to Zhuge Liang and Feng Mingwen.
Now that Zhuge Liang is dead, Feng Mingwen is the most powerful minister in the Han Dynasty.
Coupled with the reputation of Feng Langjun and Feng Gui Wang Xiaowenhe, whether Da Wu can successfully form a cavalry army really depends on Feng Mingwen.
Zhu Ju followed Sun Quan's wishes and sat down in his seat. Then he sighed and whispered:
"Your Majesty has misunderstood. My return this time has something to do with Feng Mingwen, but has nothing to do with the cavalry..."
“Huh?” Sun Quan was stunned, “What do you mean?”
Zhu Ju raised his head and was about to speak, then looked around and stopped talking.
Sun Quan's eyes narrowed slightly, and then he looked at Zhu Ju's expression and realized that what the other party was going to say next might be very confidential.
He waved his hand and asked all the palace people to leave, and then looked at Zhu Ju.
Zhu Ju moved his body and got as close to Sun Quan as possible, then lowered his voice:
"Your Majesty, what I am going to say next is the secret of Feng Mingwen's sect and should not be known to others."
"Feng Ming Wenshi Sect?" Sun Quan was startled, and then his eyes widened suddenly, "Feng Ming Wenshi Sect!"
Since Feng Mingwen came out of the mountain, he has been very impressive in managing the army and herdsmen. He has led troops into battles and has been victorious in every battle and invincible in every attack.
In recent years, Feng Mingwen has even dared to claim to be one of the most talented people in the world.
The disciples of Shanmen are so terrifying.
This also led to the fact that although countless people wanted to find out what kind of existence the master behind Feng Mingwen was, who could actually cultivate such a world-famous person.
But intimidated by Feng Mingwen's reputation, some people who are qualified to find out can only suppress their curiosity.
After all, no one knows whether forcefully exploring an unfathomable mountain gate will annoy the other party and lead to catastrophe.
Now that he suddenly learned that Zhu Ju had brought back the secrets of Feng Mingwen's sect, Sun Quan suddenly reacted.
Seeing him stand up, he shouted:
“Come here!”
There were footsteps outside the door, and at the same time a voice came: "Your Majesty?"
“Everyone, stay fifteen feet away from here. Anyone who dares to come closer will be killed with a stick!”
)
After making sure that no one could hear the conversation between the two, Sun Quan turned around and said:
“You go on.”
Zhu Ju also stood up and said:
“Your Majesty, I am discourteous.”
As he spoke, he began to reach out and untie his belt, take off his robe, and then his inner coat, leaving his chest bare.
Then he put his hands on his waist, where a wide and thick cloth belt was wrapped.
Zhu Ju took off the thick belt and tore it with all his strength. There was only a "hissing" sound, and the two booklets inside were revealed.
Zhu Ju held up two brochures and sent them to Sun Quan:
“Your Majesty, please read it.”
Sun Quan picked it up with some doubts and opened the first book, but saw the writing on the first page:
"Bahuang Liuhe Weiwei Longevity Secret (Elixir Chapter.
His eyes suddenly widened again, and his breathing became heavier. He raised his head and looked at Zhu Ju.
“This…this, what’s going on? How did you get it?”
Zhu Juzi explained everything in detail.
In order to let His Majesty know the whole story, he even told the general content of the second booklet "Dian Kingdom Worm Valley".
…
“That’s it, that’s it!”
After hearing what Zhu Ju said, Sun Quan could no longer restrain his excitement, and his face showed a look of ecstasy.
He subconsciously held the two booklets tightly in his arms.
“It turns out that there really is a way to cultivate immortality in this world!”
Recalling the fact that he sent people to sea a few years ago, Sun Quan was even more certain of the existence of Feng Mingwen's sect:
“I’ll just say it, I’ll just say it, how could Feng Mingwen write such an article!”
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but read out the poems he had heard in the past:
The clouds are green as if it is raining, and the water is sluggish with smoke.
The columns were struck by thunderbolts, and the hills collapsed.
The blue sky is vast and bottomless, and the sun and moon shine on the gold and silver platform.
Ni is the clothes, the wind is the horse, and the princes of the clouds come and go one after another.
The tiger plays the drum, the harp plays, and the luan returns to the carriage, and the immortals line up like hemp.
…
Sun Quan has read this article countless times and almost knows it by heart.
It turns out that there really are fairy mountains overseas!
But at this time, Zhu Ju poured cold water on Sun Quan:
“Your Majesty, according to what is written in the book, some of the medicinal materials for this elixir of longevity are effective only if they grow in Nanzhong.”
“So if your Majesty wants to refine elixirs in the future, you will have to find a way to get medicinal materials from Nanzhong. But if you do this, I’m afraid Feng Mingwen will know about it.”
Sun Quan, who was immersed in the fantasy of immortality, finally came back to his senses and was suddenly shocked:
“Why is there still such a rule?”
Zhu Ju nodded:
“Exactly. In fact, Feng Mingwen has people transport a lot of medicinal materials from Nanzhong to his house every year.”
“I heard that his second wife was originally a witch doctor from the southern barbarians and was good at making medicines.”
After staying in Chang'an for almost two years, it is naturally impossible for Zhu Ju to just learn how to fight on horseback as he said on the surface.
Just like Ma Su in Jiangdong, he didn’t just supervise students and that’s it.
The information that should be collected and the information that can be collected should be collected as much as possible.
At this point, Zhu Ju lowered his voice again:
"I heard that there is a secret medicine within the Xinghan Society. If you get it and eat it, you can meet fairies in your dreams and achieve bliss."
"However, this medicine is extremely rare. Even Zhao Guang can only get one dose a year. The medicinal materials are obtained from Nanzhong."
The rise of the Xinghan Society can be called a miracle.
Just like the ghost stories passed down orally in every school in later generations, or the urban ghost stories brought about by urbanization.
With the rapid rise of the Xinghan Society, there are naturally various rumors.
The legend of the secret medicine is just one of the more reliable among many outrageous legends.
After all, these days, there are a lot of people who live on a five-stone diet.
In the eyes of many people, this so-called secret medicine is almost similar to Wu Shi Powder.
But at this time, Sun Quan's mind was particularly sharp, and he immediately captured the hidden information:
“Are you saying that the so-called secret medicine is just a cover? In fact, Feng Mingwen transports so many medicinal materials from Nanzhong to the house every year in order to refine the elixir of longevity?”
Zhu Ju shook his head, but he didn’t agree with Sun Quan’s conjecture:
“Your Majesty, the elixirs recorded in this Immortality Secret are divided into four levels: ‘Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang’.”
“If my guess is correct, the secret medicine of Xinghan Society is more likely to be the lowest yellow level.”
Sun Quan has been in ecstasy since he got the book. How could he care to read the contents carefully?
When I heard what Zhu Ju said, I quickly read it according to what he said, and I saw this.
After confirming that it was correct, Sun Quan couldn't help but said:
“The sky and the earth are dark and yellow, and the universe is vast. Feng Mingwen wrote the Thousand-Character Essay. No wonder, no wonder!”
All of this turns out to have a coherent context.
It was just cleverly hidden by Feng Mingwen in a way that went against common sense and showed it to the world.
The "Thousand-Character Essay" more than ten years ago, the "Sleepwalking Tianmu Yin Liu Farewell" ten years ago, and now the "Bahuang Liuhe Only My Immortality Secret (Elixir Chapter.
These things may not seem to have much to do with each other, but the information hidden inside is so intricate.
At this moment, Sun Quan has completely believed in the authenticity of this matter.
After all, no matter how far-sighted King Feng Gui was, he would never have spent nearly twenty years weaving such a lie.
Otherwise, what is he trying to do?
"There was a rumor in the south of the country that King Feng Gui was as lustful as his soul, and he kept three thousand women at night. I thought it was just a rumor, and the rumor was absurd."
“Today I heard the secret of Feng Mingwen’s sect, and then I remembered what Zhuangzi said: Three thousand imperial ladies can ascend in the daytime.”
At this point, Sun Quan clapped the book in his hand and sighed: "This rumor may not be without reason!"
Zhu Ju did not think of this. When he heard what Sun Quan said, he suddenly remembered one thing:
"Your Majesty reminded me that I heard that Liu Liang, who promoted the Han Dynasty, was given a secret medicine by Feng Mingwen, and used his body to feed the Hu women. He went to Liangzhou to conquer the Hu women, so as to harmonize the Hu people."
“This man is called Liu Hanzi in Han Dynasty to show his bravery...”
When Sun Quan heard this, his eyes widened for the first time and his throat rolled up and down at the same time:
“Conquer…conquer all the barbarian women in Liangzhou?”
What kind of brave man is this?
"Yes, this man is the son of Liu Yan, the cavalry general of the Han Dynasty. He is now the chief historian of the Jiuyuan Governor's Office and guards Jiuyuan with the army."
Jiuyuan?
Since the Later Han Dynasty, it has always been a place where barbarians live together.
Sun Quan swallowed again.
Thinking about how I have gotten the stunning Pan from Jiangdong these days, I can’t wait to have a spring supper with her every night.
It's a pity that I am getting old after all, and I have more than enough ambition but not enough energy.
Except for the first few days, once every three or four days is the limit.
If you can have such a secret medicine, why should you worry about the sad thing of "seeing color and being suspicious"?
Thinking of this, Sun Quan wanted to grab the secret medicine from Feng Mingwen's hand immediately to boost his power.
It's just that even the emperors of Qin and Han could not achieve immortality, so one can imagine the difficulty of cultivating immortality.
"If Feng Mingwen can only refine the lowest-grade elixir, how difficult will it be for others to refine a heaven-level elixir?"
Thinking of this, Sun Quan became extremely anxious:
“No, we need to find a way to find out whether Feng Mingwen’s secret medicine is true or false. If it is true, it’s best to give it to others to try.”
As he spoke, Sun Quan looked at Zhu Ju:
“This matter should not be known to others. I am afraid Zifan will have to worry about it.”
Zhu Ju quickly said: "I dare not obey my order."
No one knows what Zhu Ju said to His Majesty when he stayed in the palace for a day and a night.
Many people thought it was Zhu Ju who was talking to His Majesty about what he had seen and heard in Han in the past two years.
Unexpectedly, after the annual Great Court Meeting, the third year of Yanxi of the Han Dynasty was entered, and it was also the third year of Chiwu of the State of Wu.
Sun Quan then issued an edict, and Zhu Ju, the general of the left, had made great contributions to the formation of the Wu cavalry army, so he was moved to the general of the hussars.
It makes sense that the general of the hussars is the commander of the cavalry army.
This is only Sun Quan’s second edict, but it caught people a little off guard:
Ten years later, the emperor wanted to send a fleet to sea again to capture Zhuya and Yizhou.
As soon as the edict came out, there was an uproar in the court.
Nearly all the important ministers in the DPRK strongly opposed it, among which the above-mentioned General Lu Xun and General Wei Quan Cong were particularly fierce.
"The cost of the cavalry army and the consumption of the treasury are ten times that of the infantry. Now that the cavalry army has not been completed, your majesty wants to lose the soldiers on the river bank in the hope of gaining some unexpected benefits. This foolish minister is still uneasy."
Sun Quan didn’t listen.
Lu Xun also wrote:
“Since the beginning of spring, there has been insufficient rain, and the water level of the rivers has been 30 to 50% lower than in previous years. There is a risk of severe drought this year. At this time, the court must prepare for rainy days, otherwise, there will be worries about severe famine at the end of the year.”
“If Your Majesty uses troops at this time, it will not only affect spring plowing, but also deplete the government’s food reserves in advance.”
ˆPS:
Historical records: AD 240, spring, drought. In winter, Wu is hungry.
