Chapter 644: Dealing with Difficulties
Sun Ce twisted his fingers and pondered silently.
This matter is really a bit tricky. You know that this is a pit, but you have to dance, at least you can't refuse directly. If the leader wants to perform a show, no matter how poor the level is, his subordinates have to applaud and support him, not to mention that the court wants to set up a stage to perform and implement the new policy.
What's more, this scene is really good. If the court wants to revive the martial arts style, it is naturally not only their father and son, but also countless heroes. After the imperial edict, there will definitely be no fewer people who want to go to Chang'an to take the exam. Maybe there will be around him and they can't even stop him. After all, it is the court, and this righteousness is unmatched and it is still attractive to many people.
This corner is so hard that it is dug. No matter who comes up with the idea, this move is amazing.
"I'll discuss with my father?"
"It should be so, but time is tight. The emperor admires the general and his son, hoping that during the Yuanzheng (New Year's Day) dynasty, he can discuss national affairs with the general and his son. The envoy may be on the way." Yang Xiu saw Sun Ce's embarrassment, laughed in his heart, and bowed back. He was not in a hurry to reveal the final answer, and it would be good to make Sun Ce worry for a few days.
Sun Ce nodded and signaled Pang Tong to send Yang Xiu out the tent. Pang Tong asked Yang Xiu out of the tent and was about to bow his goodbye. Yang Xiu smiled and said, "I heard that Pang Jun will marry the Zhang family. I haven't congratulated you yet, so please forgive me."
Pang Tong felt a little embarrassed. "It's just mentioned the bride, it's still early to get married. Mr. Yang is well-informed."
"I am recuperating from the wounds these days and I am leaving behind a door to thank the guests. How can I get well-informed? It's just that Pang Jun and the girl from the Zhang family are confidants and the other are heroes among the girls. Everyone in Wancheng is very envious. I often mention it, but I heard it."
Pang Tong frowned slightly, swept Yuan Yao and smiled politely.
Yang Xiu said again: "I heard from the general that Zhou Gongjin has taken down Jiangxia and Nanjun?"
The smile on Pang Tong's face faded, and his eyes stared at Yang Xiu, full of vigilance. Yang Xiu smiled and took Pang Tong's hand and patted him gently. "Pang Jun doesn't have to do this. I don't have any other intentions. I'm just happy for Pang Jun. Zhang Yuangong is an old official of General Yuan and is also loyal to General Sun. Now he has a relationship with Pang Jun and Qin, so it may not be appropriate to let him be unemployed. Pang Jun is inconvenient to say that Yuan Fujun can do it for him, look..."
Pang Tong interrupted Yang Xiu bluntly and reached out to signal. "The general has his own arrangements for these matters, so he dare not do anything to Mr. Yang. Mr. Yang, please."
Yang Xiu was disappointed and angry, but he couldn't get angry, so he had to smile and say goodbye to Pang Tong. Yuan Yao walked side by side with him, his face calm. Yang Xiu saw it and was secretly anxious. Yuan Yao had no opinion at all. It would be difficult for him to compete with Sun Ce if he wanted to play the role of Yuan Shu's legitimate son. He was too young and didn't know the taste of power. When he grew up slowly and felt the benefits of power, he should have some improvement.
Pang Tong returned to the tent and told Sun Ce that Yang Xiu's words. Sun Ce asked back: "Shi Yuan, has Zhang Yuangong said anything recently?"
Pang Tong shook his head. Sun Ce was involved when he drafted the list. There was no Zhang Xun's name on it. This was not Sun Ce's decision alone, but also included the opinions of Zhang Hong, Guo Jia and himself. He had already passed on this decision to Zhang Xun. Zhang Xun was an old official of Yuan Shu. Although he now supports Sun Ce, Yuan Yao's prefect is already a conspiracy for the court to alienate. How can he further encourage the court's arrogance?
"Zhang Yuangong understands the general's intentions and will not be confused by others."
Sun Ce nodded without saying a word. It is normal for Yang Xiu to put his ideas on Zhang Xun. Among Yuan Shu's old subordinates, Yan Xiang, Feng Fang and Qiao Rui, all have arrangements, but Zhang Xun does not have real power at the moment, so there is no way to arrange them. Yan Xiang still has a certain ability to govern civil affairs, but Zhang Xun is a martial artist, but his ability is average. Let him take one alone. He doesn't have this ability, let him be a subordinate. He is still old and has no suitable position to give him.
However, now the situation is so close that it is impossible not to arrange it. Pang Tong's words already revealed this meaning. Zhang Xun would not be fooled by Yang Xiu, but he himself was unwilling to be lonely. "You said to Zhang Yuangong, now you will arrange your marriage first, and when you become a kin, I will entrust him with an important task. Changsha is where my father once served as the prefect, and I need an elder like him to guard it."
Pang Tong was overjoyed and hurriedly bowed to thank him. "I will tell him when he returns from paying homage to General Yuan."
"Shi Yuan, Wen Biao, Meng Ping, tell me, what should I do if the court summoned us father and son to Chang'an to teach martial arts."
Qin Song and others put down the official documents in their hands, either put their hands in their sleeves or gently tapped the table, but they did not rush to speak. This matter was difficult to deal with, and the court had a moral advantage. Not to mention that Sun Ce and his son did not break up with the court, they could not forcefully stop them. Even if they broke up with the court, they could not stop those who yearned for the court. Even if they were not done, they could not completely ignore the court.
Qin Song spoke first. "The general and his son must not go to Chang'an. The general should send someone to Lujiang as soon as possible. When he receives the edict and makes a decision, this matter will be irreversible."
Sun Ce nodded. They definitely can't go to Chang'an. It's easy to go to Chang'an, but it's difficult to come back.
"What else do you do?"
"Others... have no choice but to have people's hearts as water. They have always been able to lead, not block them." Qin Song smiled bitterly: "But the general doesn't have to worry too much. The intention of the court's move is to enhance the status of the people of Guanxi. As for the people of Guandong, it is probably not the intention of the court."
Zhang Jing shook his head. "What Wenbiao said is reasonable, but I always feel that the general and his son would not be able to refuse so simply if he didn't go to Chang'an. The general and his son do have the qualifications of famous generals, but now the general Huangfu Song of the chariot is in Chang'an and the Grand Marshal Zhu Gong is in Luoyang. Is their qualifications and achievements more convincing than the general and his son? General, I think this edict is directed at you father and son."
Sun Ce smiled bitterly. He scratched his head because of this. Looking at Yang Xiu's expression before leaving, this matter was definitely not that simple. It was not possible to solve the problem by just saying nothing.
At this moment, a loud laugh came from outside the tent. Guo Jia pushed the tent in and pointed Qin Song and Zhang Jing with the feather fan in his hand. "Two, come up with advice, as long as there is evidence. Instead of sitting here and thinking, it is better to take the initiative to collect information. Without the support of intelligence, what can you guess while sitting here?"
Qin Song and Zhang Jing quickly stood up, and even Pang Tong stood up to welcome Guo Jia. Guo Jia waved his hand with a smile, took the seat at the seat that Pang Tong gave up, and shook the feather fan in his hand. Jiang Qin took the step forward and handed a note two fingers wide. Sun Ce took the note and took a look, and burst out laughing.
"Due to me for a duel? Who came up with this idea? It's too naive. What is my identity? They will challenge it if they want to?"
"General, if you only treat this as a challenge, then it's simple." Guo Jia said: "If I guess well, this is Xun Wenruo's idea. If the general is not dealing with it properly, it will become the knife in his hand."
Sun Ce pondered for a while, the smile on his face disappeared, and he smacked his lips. "This Xun Wenruo is so sinister."
"If Xun Wen had some clever tricks, he would make the general so upset?" With a chuckle, Zhang Hong stepped into the tent.
