Chapter 1350: Know things like a god
Lu Yin and Yang Zhu were imprisoned. These two were the close guests of the prince and King Lu respectively.
Sun Quan issued an edict. After reprimanding the two sons, he issued another ban, asking them to concentrate on studying and not to interact with guests.
This ban was not bad for King Lu.
After all, you live outside the palace. As long as you find a way, you will always have the opportunity to see your confidants.
But the prince who lives in the palace is different.
Meeting guests under Sun Quan's nose is like going to the tiger's den and touching the tiger's butt.
Moreover, from the perspective of the prince's party, His Majesty seems to be fighting fifty for each, but in fact he is leaning towards King Lu.
Not to mention that even if they really fight fifty times each, the prince will still suffer a big loss - he is the prince, the prince, and the foundation of the country, how can he be treated together with the prince?
Zhu Ju, who was originally worried that Lu Yin would not be able to hold on in prison and would involve the prince, now learned of his majesty's decision, could no longer hold back.
If Lu Yin really couldn't survive the torture in prison, then the prince would really have no chance.
Zhu Ju felt that he had to do something before that.
So he united with the prince Taifu Wu Can, Shangshu Pushe Qu Huang, Wu Nan Superintendent Chen Zheng, Fifth Battalion Superintendent Chen Xiang and other ministers and generals to submit a letter together.
Once again, he begged Sun Quan, the division of Ming and Ming, and lifted the prince's ban as soon as possible to peace.
It was just a seemingly grand petition, but after being sent to the palace, it fell into the sea without even making a wave.
Zhu Ju saw that Sun Quan was indifferent to his and others' remonstrances, so he asked to enter the palace to see him.
The palace ban was already heavily guarded, and after the palace ban conversation was leaked, Sun Quan vigorously strengthened the guarding and management of the palace ban.
Unless Sun Quan issued an edict and wanted to summon the ministers, it would be impossible for the ministers to see the emperor who was recuperating in the deep palace.
Not to mention that Sun Quan didn't even need to meet Zhu Zhi and others to know what they wanted to say and what they wanted to do.
Then what’s the point of deliberately provoking a dispute between concubines and concubines?
Thinking of this, and then thinking of the main members of the prince's party, Sun Quan's face became even more gloomy.
“Your Majesty!”
Just when Sun Quan was furious, the voice of a palace official interrupted his train of thought.
“What’s the matter?”
Sun Quan asked impatiently.
The memorial was sent to the palace by a special person. Except for a few ministers who needed to be summoned for business, he had already asked the guards at the palace gate to block all the ministers who wanted to see him from the palace gate.
He just wanted to relax for a while, but he didn't expect the palace man to be so indifferent, which made him feel inexplicably irritable.
If you dare to disturb me like this if you have nothing to do, I would like to see how many lives these servants have?
Facing Sun Quan’s cold and unhappy gaze, the palace man couldn’t help but tremble.
Since he started cultivating immortality with Mrs. Pan, His Majesty's temper has become more and more weird, especially in the past year or so, people from the palace have been disappearing inexplicably.
Even the old people in the palace sometimes inadvertently angered His Majesty and were killed with a stick.
This situation not only happened in the palace where His Majesty lived, but also happened to Mrs. Pan.
Mrs. Pan also had a very bad temper, and would often punish palace residents at every turn, making people tremble and complain at the same time.
(Note: There are two rumors about Mrs. Pan’s death in history. One is that she was hanged after Sun Quan’s death because she often abused the palace people. The palace people could not bear the abuse.)
Many people say that His Majesty became like this just because he and Mrs. Pan practiced dual cultivation.
Just when the palace man was frightened out of his mind by Sun Quan's eyes, he heard an angry shout from above, interrupting his random thoughts:
“Dog slave, I’m asking you something, why don’t you answer it?”
The palace man subconsciously weakened his knees and crouched on the ground and replied:
“Your Majesty, there is someone knocking on the door outside the palace.”
“叩que?”
Sun Quan was already extremely irritable, but when he heard the word "叩que" again, his heart boiled with anger:
“Knocking que, knocking que! You know knocking que! Who is knocking que?”
How many times has this happened?
How many times has it happened?
As soon as I didn't listen to their advice, I would go outside the palace gate and knock on the door.
Sun Quan couldn’t lie down any longer: “Come here, please put some clothes on me!”
After putting on his clothes, he walked out angrily. The palace attendants behind him could hardly keep up with him as they trotted all the way.
Going up to Baijue Temple and looking towards the high gate of Baihu Gate, I saw many people kneeling under the gate.
“Who is taking the lead? Who are they?”
"Your Majesty, I am led by General Hussar and my Grand Tutor."
He replied from left to right, and then read out the ministers who followed him.
The more Sun Quan listened, the more disgust and revulsion appeared on his face.
Where do they knock on the door here?
This is simply forcing the uterus!
I'm not dead yet, so you guys really want to show off in front of the prince?
Are you going to make me angry to death before I fulfill your wishes?
Suppressing his anger, Sun Quan ordered his left and right:
"Send someone to go and tell them that I take matters into my own hands and don't need them to worry about the prince's affairs. Let them go back to their respective homes."
“Here!”
I thought that if I issued an edict, the officials outside the palace would disperse.
Unexpectedly, Sun Quan only saw the commotion among the officials outside for a while, but he refused to leave.
"what happened?"
In the hot summer, it is easy for people to get angry.
These days, Sun Quan has become quite angry again.
Even though he was standing in the shade, when he saw the ministers outside, Sun Quan suddenly felt hot and depressed all over his body, and he saw the anger starting to rise again.
Xiaohuangmen, who went out to deliver the edict, quickly came back sweating profusely, and at the same time brought back a piece of news that made Sun Quan shocked and angry:
“Your Majesty, General Zhu and my Grand Tutor have smeared their faces with mud, tied themselves up, and asked to see the Prince!”
“What? What did you say!”
When Sun Quan heard the news, his eyes widened in disbelief. He felt like his head was banging and his ears were ringing.
The news coming back from Xiaohuangmen was like thunder, making him dumbfounded.
Deathly tranquility.
After a long time, Sun Quan laughed nervously:
“These are my ministers who serve the country! What a group of loyal ministers and good generals!”
After laughing for a while, Sun Quan stopped laughing, and then an angry voice resounded:
"Where are they knocking the que? They are forcing me! They are forcing the palace!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone around him hurriedly prostrated on the ground, and some palace residents were even trembling.
“No wonder! No wonder! It’s something that dogs can’t eat!”
Sun Quan cursed a few more times, then opened his mouth and his chest rose and fell rapidly, as if he had difficulty breathing.
The sky and the earth were spinning, and Sun Quan had to close his eyes and press his hands tightly on his chest.
He felt that his chest was about to burst, and then he held his head in his hands, and his whole body began to twitch with extreme disgust and anger.
No wonder he asked the prince to go to the Ancestral Temple to offer sacrifices on his behalf. The prince actually dared to take the opportunity to go to the Zhang family. Did he really want to discuss important matters?
Sun Quan’s face was already a little distorted, and his thoughts were surging like a tide.
At first I didn’t quite believe it.
Today it seems that what Dahu (that is, Princess Quan) said is all true!
If it hadn't been for what happened today, I wouldn't have known it. It turned out that the prince was already so powerful!
The more Sun Quan thought about it, his back felt cold and his anger surged to the sky.
Angry and angry, coupled with the dual cultivation, the Emperor of Wu State became increasingly unable to control his emotions.
At this time, he had already lost his mind. He opened his eyes suddenly, gritted his teeth and said:
"The Crown Prince and Grand Tutor Wu Can, deceived the officials, disobeyed the holy will, and had evil intentions. He summoned the officials to be imprisoned and severely tortured him!"
“Supervisor Chen Zheng of Wuhan and Chen Xiang of the Fifth Battalion did not think of serving the country, but acted selfishly. The crime was unpardonable, so we summoned officers to raid their homes and barbarize them!”
At this point, Sun Quan's eyes were fixed on the outside of the palace.
If you weren’t my son-in-law...
Sun Quan thought bitterly and continued to issue an edict:
“Go and drag General Hussar and Shu Pushe into the palace, with a hundred sticks!”
After issuing the edict, after a while, the palace door suddenly opened, and a group of guards rushed out like wolves and tigers.
After the emperor's edict was announced at Xiaohuang Gate, the guards in the palace dragged and escorted away the leading ministers.
The remaining ones who were not named by Sun Quan were beaten and dispersed by the guards with sticks.
What happened in front of Baihumen shocked the government and the public.
Even Lu Yi, who seemed to have nothing to do with the matter, was so frightened that he couldn't sit still after learning the news.
Originally, he sent a greeting note to Mi Shiyilang, intending to come to ask for advice at an agreed time, so that he would appear respectful and solemn.
Unexpectedly, such a big event happened before the agreed time came. He could no longer calm down and ran directly to Mi Shiyilang's yard.
As soon as they met, he quickly shouted: "Mi Langjun, it's urgent! Please ask me for advice!"
Mi Shiyilang obviously hasn’t gotten the news yet.
After all, no matter how deeply the Xinghan Society penetrates, it is impossible for news like this to come faster than the school affairs office.
Inviting Lu Yi to sit down, Mi Shiyilang was still in the mood to pour him a cup of tea:
“What happened to Lu Zhongshu that made him so flustered? Just tell him slowly.”
“Can’t be slow!”
Lv Yi was really thirsty when he ran over on a hot day. He raised his glass and drank it all in one gulp. Then he wiped his mouth and was about to speak when he subconsciously looked around.
Mi Shiyilang's heart skipped a beat when he saw him like this.
This is really something!
Hurry up and leave the screen.
Probably because he was really thirsty, Lu Yi poured himself another cup of tea and took a big sip. When he saw everyone retreating, he told what happened in front of the White Tiger Gate of the palace.
Although Mi Shiyilang had long expected that something big would happen in the dispute between the two palaces of Wu State.
But he did not expect that Sun Quan would be the first to do such a big thing.
Drag the minister into the palace and execute him with a cane, even put the minister directly in jail, and let the palace guards drive the minister away violently...
Exciting! This is really exciting!
Mi Shiyilang's eyes widened and he simply couldn't believe what he heard.
If something like this happens in front of Weiyang Palace...
Tsk tsk!
Lv Yi didn’t care that Mi Shiyilang didn’t come back to his senses for a long time. He drank the remaining tea in the cup in one gulp and asked anxiously:
"Mi Langjun, do you think your majesty really wants to support King Lu to ascend to the throne?"
Seeing that His Majesty this time, he not only eliminated most of the ministers who supported the prince.
Even from Lu Yi's point of view, this was almost an expression of His Majesty's attitude towards the Crown Prince - this was the most important thing.
So after Lu Yi got the news, he didn't dare to wait for a moment.
Mi Shiyilang blinked and at the same time quietly closed his mouth that was open due to too much fear.
Forcibly calmed down and tried hard to think clearly.
But the impact of this incident was really too shocking. Mi Shiyilang sat there blankly, unable to completely turn his mind around for a while.
Lu Yi called out a few more times, and Mi Shiyilang finally came back to his senses and smiled apologetically:
“What Lu Zhongshu said made someone feel uneasy and unable to recover for a while, don’t blame me, don’t blame me!”
Seeing Mi Shiyilang’s reaction, Lu Yi understood and said with a wry smile:
“When I first heard about this, I felt uneasy.”
Then he continued the previous question:
"What I am worried about now is what does your Majesty mean by this? Could it be that you really want to depose the crown prince and establish King Lu?"
If His Majesty is really like this, then what is the point of me and others trying to support His Majesty the Seventh Prince?
“Don’t be impatient, Lu Zhongshu. With such a major event happening, Lord Wu’s dissatisfaction with the prince is obvious, but...”
At this time, Mi Shiyilang had regained his composure, but he pretended to think deeply, "But if we really want to say that King Lu's overall situation has been decided, that's not necessarily the case."
"Oh?" What Lu Yi needs most at this time is for Mi Shiyilang to help him build up his confidence. When he heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, "Mi Langjun, what do you think? Teach me quickly!"
I have a great idea!
Mi Shiyilang, who looked like the old **** on the surface, was actually equally panicked in his heart.
Could it be that something really went wrong as my brother expected?
The current situation, no matter how you look at it, looks like Sun Quan wants to depose Sun He and establish Sun Ba.
So much effort was put into the layout, isn’t it going to be in vain?
Thinking of this in his mind, Mi Shiyilang's forehead started to sweat a little.
His mind was spinning, but he said forcefully:
"If King Lu has not established him as the crown prince for a day, the overall situation cannot be said to be settled."
“Don’t forget, Lu Zhongshu, that some of King Lu’s confidants are also imprisoned!”
“Also, the person who supports the prince, the one with the highest status, has not shown up yet.”
Lv Yi reacted immediately: "Lu Boyan?"
"Exactly." Mi Shiyilang nodded, and his thoughts followed suit, "Lu Boyan has a great reputation in the court and the public. There are so many disciples and former officials in the army of the court."
"If Lord Wu really wants to depose the prince, he must convince Lu Boyan. Lu Zhongshu, do you think so or not?"
"This..." Lu Yi was speechless for a moment. There seemed to be something wrong with what he said, but for a moment, he felt that it made some sense.
"But Mr. Mi Lang, even if this is the case, the matter is urgent. If your Majesty is really determined to establish King Lu, it will be too late."
"Don't be anxious, don't be anxious," Mi Shiyilang consoled him. "Wu Lord has no intention of establishing King Lu. Just wait and see what will happen next. No matter how anxious Lu Zhongshu is now, it is useless."
If Sun Quan is really optimistic about Sun Ba, then by this time, it may be too late to change his mind, and he can only worry about it later.
“Just looking at it like this?”
"Yes, wait and see what happens." Mi Shiyilang lowered his voice, "We will see what happens to the general, what happens to Yang Zhu and Lu Yin, and then we can get a glimpse of Lord Wu's intention!"
After receiving such a suggestion, Lu Yi had no other choice but to say goodbye with a heavy heart.
After Lu Yi left, Mi Shiyilang, who was still confidently giving advice to Lu Zhongshu, immediately shot up like a fire.
Spread the paper, grind the ink, and write like a snake...
Then glue on the chicken feathers and stick on the red paper.
“Send back to Chang’an immediately!”
“Here!”
The envoy from the Xinghan Society who was sent here knew very well what the red chicken-feather letter represented, and he responded with a heavy heart.
After listening to Mi Shiyilang’s suggestion, Lu Yi, who went back to wait anxiously for the news, received a piece of thunderous news the next day:
“Lü Zhongshu, the Grand Tutor is dead.”
“Prince Taifu Wu Can?”
“Exactly.”
Wu Cancai was arrested and imprisoned, and then died suddenly. Who would believe that there was no hidden secret?
Since the prince and the tutor died like this, wouldn’t the prince...
Just when Lu Yi was in confusion, another news came:
“Lü Zhongshu, news came from prison that Yang Zhu had confessed.”
I dare not say it elsewhere, but the school affairs office, which was originally responsible for supervising all officials, personally arrested many people and imprisoned them in the early years.
So in prison, you can still have some eyes and ears.
Lu Yi, who was in Ma Zhao, was suddenly confused: "Yang Zhu confessed?"
Yang Zhu, isn’t he a confidant of King Lu?
If Yang Zhu pleads guilty, wouldn't that mean that King Lu will be implicated?
That, that…
The situation turned again, leaving Lu Yi stunned and unable to react.
Then, more exciting news came:
His Majesty's health improved, and when he went to court for the first time, he once again reprimanded the general in public.
And this time, instead of simply reprimanding him, he listed the crimes that Yang Zhu had confessed to in prison. There were actually twenty crimes on it that were related to the general.
Lu Xun, who had also been claiming to be ill at home and went to court for the first time, did not expect that before Yang Zhu died, he would bite him back like this, and it would bite him to the bone.
It happened that his nephew Lu Yin remained silent in prison, concealing the fact that the prince eavesdropped on the conversation between his majesty and Yang Zhu.
This left Lu Xun with no way to defend himself on this matter.
Surprised, angry, angry and furious, Lu Xun was scolded so much that he vomited a mouthful of blood and fainted on the spot.
It’s messed up, everything is messed up…
Facing the situation that changed three times a day, Lu Yi had no way to deal with it. He was at a loss and subconsciously came to Mi Shiyilang's small courtyard again.
Unexpectedly, Mi Shiyilang actually raised his hand to him:
“Congratulations to Lu Zhongshu, great things are expected!”
Brother’s knowledge of things... is really amazing!
