Chapter 3278 Touching the Conscience

Perhaps when every dynasty is about to fall in love, there will always be people who will be shocked and shout loudly to warn, such as shouting, "The big man is almost finished! It's over!"

But even when everyone hears this voice, they still do their own different things.

Then, in various dynasties, all kinds of people would shout when they were aware of danger, but no one listened.

Perhaps it is because the wolf comes and shouts too many times, which will cause a lot of ridicule.

Look, that idiot!

Sun Jian collapsed halfway, and Sun Ce died before he even rose. Perhaps it was a coincidence to some extent, but for the Shandong geniuses and literati in Jiangdong who admired prophecies and divinations, this may represent a meaning—

The Sun family doesn’t have that destiny!

In fact, from the perspective of bystanders, Jiangdong’s disputes with each other are not considered a major event, but more like farces. But in the eyes of the people involved at that time, these were the most correct things.

Is this "party struggle" atmosphere in Jiangdong entirely caused by the Sun family?

Obviously not.

In the early Han Dynasty, Liu Bang had insufficient knowledge reserves and did not know how to govern the country at all. Even if he had a clear understanding of human nature, he could not rely on him to keep an eye on these rules and regulations every day, so he would inevitably become a peach in the hands of the children of the gentry.

Emperor Wu of Han wanted to solve this problem, but he didn't think about how to solve it, so Dong Zhongshu sent a crutch. Emperor Wu of Han suddenly felt that walking with three legs was stable, but he could not imagine that although walking with three legs was stable, he could never run, and even forgot how the two legs should walk with two legs.

During the reign of Emperor Ling of Han, he also wanted to curb the increasingly expanding local aristocratic families, but the party and corruption inspire greater party struggles. Some keyboard warriors in later generations called the clever strategy of pulling one sect and fighting one sect, but in fact, they were utterly foolish when there was no advanced program. Just like the later generations, the Fruit Party also shouted the heroic slogan "100,000 young people and 100,000 blood", and a small number of people who were worried about being honest and ruling for the country, but they could not escape the shackles of the class and could not jump around.

The battles in Jiangdong are generally limited to the mouth.

But occasionally there is blood.

Literary quarrels basically just don’t accept it, and they can also kill people.

The general way is to first occupy the moral commanding heights, regard yourself as a gentleman, and position your opponent as a villain. Regardless of whether there is any evidence of crime, first say that your opponent has bad intentions. This kind of heart-slaughtering theory makes people speechless. When a literati acts like a gangster, he uses the most high-sounding reasons to do the most dirty and despicable things. Just like some bricks say that air pollution is caused by bicycles, and that farmers can buy houses in cities and drive back to the countryside to farm...

The key is that these literati families who are similar to those of later generations still have more or less control over the country's authority and affect the country's resource allocation, so the harm is very great.

So, can this kind of literary clan who cannot be killed in later generations be eliminated without stopping, in Jiangdong, the current Han Dynasty?

Therefore, it is not surprising that Sun Quan has such an extremely contradictory attitude towards Zhou Yu. Sun Quan's extreme lack of security has caused him to suspect that everyone is going to harm him, and it also made Sun Quan tightly hold the authority in his hands and is unwilling to let go because this is his last straw.

Sun Quan and Liu Bei are completely different.

Liu Bei's life was bumpy. He only gained power when he was old and could take and let go of authority. After Sun Quan died, would he leave authority to his children or his brother's posthumous son?

Obviously, Sun Quan could not let go. Even though Sun Quan's rights were inherited from his brother, he also believed that this authority was his own and must be left to his children, and regarded this as a guideline.

If Sun Quan had not been helpless and desperate, he would not have dared to delegate power to Zhou Yu.

Because he was afraid, he was afraid that what Sun Ce said before would really become reality.

He was afraid of losing authority and losing everything. Although he would say it was for the Sun family's foundation, he actually knew in his heart that it was just for himself!

When Sun Ce fought against Jiangdong in the early years, it was undoubtedly a wonderful move.

But soon, Sun Ce took a stupid move.

In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Sun Ce exchanged the jade seal for Yuan Shu's soldiers and horses, but in fact, the reason why Yuan Shu agreed to Sun Ce to go to Jiangdong was that Sun Ce said that his father had goodwill to the Jiangdong gentry before, and he could take down Jiangdong for Yuan Shu without any effort, and he didn't want Yuan Shu to invest much, so Yuan Shu sent back Sun Ce's troops, without giving him any additional troops.

So from this perspective, winning Jiangdong was the highlight of Sun Ce's life.

But Sun Ce is too realistic...

Perhaps in later generations, it is a good thing to be realistic, and it can even become a commendable advantage. Unfortunately, in the Han Dynasty, loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness are emphasized.

So in the eyes of the literati in Jiangdong, Sun Quan's father killed the prefect for no reason, and his brother killed the aristocrats for no reason. This is a slut in the Sun family who is now saying that he wants to be honest and truthful, good and beautiful. Who believes it?

Perhaps when Sun Ce was dying, he knew that what was left to Sun Quan was a mess, so Sun Ce once said to Zhang Zhao, "If Zhongmou does not take responsibility, you will take it yourself!"

In fact, it is the same as what Liu Bei said in Baidi City. The reason why Mr. Luo deleted Sun Ce's words was to make this sentence the copyright of Liu Bei, otherwise there would be no shocking effect of entrusting the orphan in Baidi City.

On this basis, Sun Quan's ambivalence about Zhou Yu was very easy to understand.

And Sun Quan is also the same with Zhang Zhao.

He trusted Zhou Yu and was also wary of it.

Not to beware of Zhou Yu, but to beware of all the military forces represented by Zhou Yu.

Sun Quan knew very well that if these military generals were allowed to expand their strength, then Zhou Yu might be able to control himself now, but what if Zhou Yu died? At that time, with the arrogant soldiers and generals with too much military power, they would recommend Zhou Yu's child to the throne, then would Sun Quan have to step down obediently?

If this happens, what will Sun Quan take to fight against the military?

Do you take the Heavenly Spirit Cover?

Even if Zhou Yu is indeed trustworthy and will not betray Sun's family, what about Zhou Yu's brothers and children's relatives? Sun Quan was afraid. He felt that the word "Zhou Yu" was not the same person, but a large group of people!

Sun Ce and Liu Bei both have the courage to tell the people of the world that if their heirs are not successful, then 'you will take it for themselves!'

But Sun Quan didn't have the courage, he only dared to shout, "Touch your conscience!"

In fact, even now, Sun Quan still has the opportunity to revive the confidence of the Jiangdong gentry.

It's just...

...

...

Zhou Yu was touching his chest at the moment.

It’s not that he really touched his conscience, but that his condition has been going on for a long time.

As the saying goes, men are afraid of coughing, and women are afraid of pulling.

In order to cure the disease, Zhou Yu also took the golden elixir. Although it could stimulate the potential of the body for a while, it actually emptied the vitality, and the effect of the medicine became more and more serious.

Taking medicine randomly will kill people!

At this moment, in the study room in the inner courtyard of the mansion, Zhou Yu was sitting opposite Lu Su who was rushing to come, both of them looked ugly.

Zhou Yu was so ill that he looked ugly, while Lu Su was so worried that he was so uglier.

The decorative cost in the Zhou family’s study is naturally one of the best in Jiangdong. Whether it is hung on the wall, placed on the table, or the most inconspicuous dust removal objects in the corner, they are all carefully carved.

But at this moment, the two of them ignored these objects, leaving only sadness and sorrow.

"Jiangdong..." It took me a long time to sigh, "How can these people be like this! How can they be like this!"

Sun Quan could even know what Zhu Zhi was doing, how could Zhou Yu and Lu Su not understand?

Zhu Zhi was protecting himself and the status of the Zhu family.

But in order to protect himself, Zhu Zhi's current approach is equivalent to selling Jiangdong.

The purpose of abandoning the future of Jiangdong is to make the Zhu family live a better life.

Speaking of which, of course, there is something wrong with the system in Jiangdong.

This is also a problem left over from the previous generation of the Sun family.

Because Sun Jian didn't understand politics, Sun Ce didn't understand either. It was not until he got bleeding from his head that he could barely turn back, but it was already a bit difficult to return.

Zhou Yu is also aware of the shortcomings of Jiangdong's system, so he has been trying his best to reduce the influence of the older generation, even including himself.

It is not wrong to have selfish intentions, but if the saying that people have selfish intentions is regarded as a shield and do sneaky things, then who is the problem?

Whether Zhou Yu has selfishness or not?

But Zhou Yu at least did not put his selfishness above the Sun family's foundation.

Lu Su also has selfish intentions, but in the same way, he will not abandon the public because of his own selfishness, so Zhou Yu and Lu Su can chat and join in the friendship.

But the problem is that Zhou Yu and Lu Su met the lord Sun Quan, who also had selfish thoughts.

"I'll go find my lord..." Zhou Yu coughed twice and said softly.

His body is actually very weak and he can't even speak louder, otherwise it will easily cause severe coughs.

According to this situation, if Sun Quan had any difficult problems, he should come to the door to "ask for advice", but now it has become Zhou Yu who has to take the initiative to come to the door to "ask for advice".

"Gongjin! Your body...you can rest here with peace of mind! I'll go first!" Lu Su stood up and walked out without saying a word, "Come! Get the horse!"

Zhou Yu reached out to call, but he was left with a cough. After finishing the cough, Lu Su left, and could only sigh with his eyes closed.

Sighing faintly.

...

...

"Zi Jing wants to see someone?"

Sun Quan frowned.

After a moment of silence, Sun Quan nodded, "Please be welcome!"

When Lu Su saw Sun Quan, he bowed to the ground: "Lord! It's hard!"

Even if Sun Quan pretended to be calm, he couldn't help but hear this, his heart beat and his face twitched. You Qiang pretended to be smiling and said, "Is it because Zijing is joking? Jiangdong... What's the difficulty in Jiangdong?"

Lu Su looked up with a serious face, "It's not that Jiangdong is in trouble, but that the lord is in trouble!"

Sun Quan finally changed his fear, "But someone rebelled?"
