Chapter 1345 Jianye Chaos(1/2)
It's not that Wu Can doesn't know that letting the general come forward at this time may not be the best choice.
After all, the senior general was reprimanded by His Majesty in the court.
If Prime Minister Gu is still here, it would be the best choice to personally persuade His Majesty with Prime Minister Gu's elder style.
pity……
I thought that as soon as Prime Minister Gu left, the children of the Gu family would either be forced to death or exiled to Jiaozhou.
It made me sigh again.
Since Prime Minister Gu is not here, the best choice would be the General, whose reputation, qualifications and merits are unmatched.
Sun Quan allowed the dispute between the two palaces to go unchecked, and almost all the officials of the Wu Kingdom were involved in the turmoil.
Even in later generations, most people just say that he is old and dim, but few people delve into the reasons behind this.
Not to mention that Wu Can and others who were in the middle of the game at this time, how could they see Sun Quan's true purpose?
In their view, although His Majesty rebuked the General in public, it was just a moment of anger.
The general has worked hard and achieved great results, and he is deeply trusted by his majesty.
If nothing unexpected happens, he will soon become the next prime minister of Wu.
Therefore, His Majesty's anger at this moment will not affect the overall situation.
Your Majesty is still very generous.
I just have a bit of a temper, and sometimes when I get angry, I do things that are a bit extreme.
For example, Lou Hou (also known as Zhang Zhao) was even ordered by His Majesty to seal his door with earth and even set his house on fire.
But it still didn't affect Lou Hou's status.
In comparison, the general is still your majesty's niece and son-in-law. It's just a scolding. What does it mean?
But unlike Wu Can and others, the person involved, Lu Xun, was not that optimistic.
He sees it more clearly than Wu Can and others:
His Majesty's relationship with him is no longer as close as it was in the early days when the whole country could rely on him.
To be precise, I don't know since when, His Majesty has gradually alienated himself.
Especially after the Battle of Xiangyang, he was recalled to Jianye. His Majesty went his own way and insisted on giving up Shangyong to the Han Dynasty.
Lu Xun felt that His Majesty's alienation from him was becoming more and more obvious.
Therefore, after his son Lu Yin told the story about the prince, Lu Xun couldn't help but feel his heart sinking.
In the past, he would have agreed long ago.
But when something like this happened, Lu Xun only felt that something was vaguely wrong.
Your Majesty...what do you want to do?
Lu Xun was promoted by Sun Quan himself.
He also personally acted as a matchmaker to let him marry the daughter of King Huan.
In the early years, not only the prince was entrusted to him, but even half of the country was entrusted to him.
Even though he felt alienated, Lu Xun still believed that Sun Quan was a rare wise king.
Since he is a wise king, how could he do something that would shake the foundation of the country, such as abolishing his direct descendants and establishing concubines?
But Lu Yin not only took out Wu Can's letter, but also brought the prince's token, which made him dare not take it lightly.
"This matter is of great importance. Even if I write a letter to remonstrate, I'm afraid it will be difficult to change His Majesty's will."
Lu Xun's family knew about his affairs. After thinking about it, he thought that it was impossible to persuade Sun Quan by himself.
"What a pity, Prime Minister..."
Like Wu Can, Lu Xun also thought of Gu Yong, who had only died a few months ago.
If the Prime Minister were still here, I think he would be able to persuade His Majesty.
"Uncle, what should we do?"
Seeing that even Lu Xun was hesitant, Lu Yin couldn't help but become even more panicked.
Isn't it possible that even my uncle can't do anything?
"Uncle, what should we do?"
"If I am the only one to come forward in this matter, I'm afraid it won't be enough." Lu Xun naturally couldn't watch the prince fall into crisis and ignore it. "It's best to win over as many important ministers as possible."
"If all the ministers in the court object together, I believe that His Majesty will consider it carefully because of his wisdom."
"But uncle, there are many people in the court who support King Lu!" Lu Yin reminded.
"That's why we need to find more ministers who support the prince to persuade his majesty."
When Lu Yin heard this, he quickly asked:
"Maybe my uncle has already thought of someone else to look for?"
Lu Xun's eyes were dark, looking in a certain direction:
"The four surnames in Wu County are said to be tied, but in fact the one most trusted by your Majesty is the Zhu family."
When Lu Yin heard this, he immediately blurted out:
"General Hussars?"
The so-called hussar general was none other than Zhu Ju.
Lu Xun nodded gently.
Compared to himself, His Majesty's niece and son-in-law, Zhu Zifan is His Majesty's real son-in-law.
Da Wu spent countless costs to establish it, and the armored cavalry stationed near Jianye was also in the hands of Zhu Zifan.
It can be said that in Lu Xun's view, His Majesty's trust in Zhu Ju now far exceeds his own.
Although he is a high-ranking general and acting prime minister, he does not have much real power when he returns to the court.
Zhu Ju, who controls the armor and cavalry, is the real powerful figure.
Among the four surnames in Wu County, the Zhang family has already withdrawn from the court, so there is no need to mention it again.
Prime Minister Gu was dead, and Gu Tan and Gu Cheng were exiled to Jiaozhou.
The current Gu family can be said to be indifferent to themselves.
As for Ms. Lu, she claimed to be ill and has not shown up for so long. Doesn’t that explain the problem enough?
After thinking about it, the only one who can still be heard by His Majesty is probably the Zhu family.
"Then uncle, how should we persuade the hussar general?"
Lu Yin couldn't help but remind:
"Princess Zhu and Princess Quan are sisters, and the Governor of Princess Quan is at odds with the prince. If my uncle informs General Hussar of this matter, what if..."
Lu Yin didn't finish what he said, but the implication was already clear.
"There is no need to worry." Lu Xun shook his head, "Zhu Zifan is loyal to the country and knows how to govern the body. As long as he informs the prince about the matter, I believe he will know what to do."
After saying that, Lu Xun looked at Lu Yin and said, "I can write a letter, and you can help me send it to General Hussar."
My uncle has the ability to change his plans wisely, and everything he thinks about comes true.
Lu Yin felt happy when he saw Lu Xun was so sure.
The Grand Tutor, the General, the General of Hussars and others have come forward to deal with this matter. Why should the Prince worry?
"Don't worry, uncle, I will deliver the letter personally to the General Hussars."
Seeing Lu Yin's happy expression, Lu Xun seemed to want to say something, but in the end he didn't speak.
——
After receiving Lu Xun's letter, Lu Yin did not hesitate for a moment and went directly out of the city to find Zhu Zhi.
Since its establishment, the Jiaqi Battalion has been affiliated with the Wu State's Forbidden Army.
At the same time, it is also a cavalry army directly controlled by Sun Quan.
It is different from the Wu army.
Except that it is the only cavalry army in the state of Wu.
The reason is that it was completely modeled after the Han cavalry.
The generals and backbones of the army have all learned from the cavalry of the Han army.
Coupled with the particularity and importance of cavalry.
Lu Xun believed that he was not as trusted by Sun Quan as Zhu Ju, and it was not without reason.
Compared with Wu Jun's widespread military discipline and corruption, it is different.
The cavalry army of the State of Wu, which was just established with the help of the Han State, inevitably adopted some habits of the Han army.
For example, if it were another battalion, Lu Yin only had to reveal his identity and say that he was delivering a message for the general.
