"Zitong, after my death, all important matters will be entrusted to you."
"Don't go against Lu Zhi. You are only in your twenties and have no experience in commanding an army. Lu Zhi has a very high reputation. You must appease him and don't take action without permission."
"If he disobeys you, use the power of the temple to suppress him and force him to obey."
Sun Jun was lying on the bed, dying and making his final confession to his cousin beside him.
By this time, Sun Jun already knew that his time was running out, and he no longer expected to get better suddenly. He put his hope in Sun Wei.
But now Sun Wei is only twenty-five years old, and Sun Jun is already considered very young in his thirties. Sun Wei is younger and more youthful and energetic, which can't help but make Sun Jun worry about big things in the future.
Sun Wei burst into tears at this moment, "Brother, I understand."
Sun Jun continued: "You must pay attention to the old generals in the temple. You are too young. Don't have any conflicts with them. You must respect them enough."
"Quan Shang, Quan Princess and others must be appeased. Don't embarrass them."
"The emperor is important in maintaining the temple, so you can't be too rude to him."
"Your brothers can help you as your right-hand man."
Sun Jun expressed a lot of thoughts in succession, mainly about coaxing and forbearance.
Sun Wei frowned. Sun Jun wanted to say something, but unfortunately he was too weak. He closed his eyes and breathed weakly.
Sun Wei walked out of the house, and his brother Sun En was guarding the door. When he saw him coming out, he couldn't wait to ask: "Is he dead?!"
Sun Wei was furious, "You bastard! Do you want to curse your brother to death?!"
Sun En shivered in fright, and then whispered: "I made a mistake. Brother, is he feeling better?"
Sun Wei shook his head, "I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on for a few more days."
Sun En asked again: "Did he give any instructions?"
"Ask me."
Sun Wei recalled his brother's words just now, and said slowly: "Brother said that Lu Zheng would disobey me, would oppose me, and would use the power of the temple to kill him."
"And those old generals, they will also make things difficult for me."
"Quan Shang, Quan Princess, the Emperor, these people all have to be dealt with."
"You have to help me deal with them."
"That's all he said."
At this moment, Sun Wei seemed to be possessed by Cao Pi, and he understood his brother's instructions very well. Sun En was shocked, "There are so many people who want to embarrass us?"
"Since my brother has said that, he will definitely be in trouble."
"We have to make preparations in advance. We cannot let these thieves delay our great cause. From now on when we take charge of Wu State, we will naturally capture Huainan, annex Bashu, unify the world, and establish an unparalleled great cause!!"
Sun Wei's eyes shone with an inexplicable light, and he was full of confidence in himself.
As a twenty-five-year-old young man, Sun Wei is still at a reckless, passionate, and not very wise age.
He never understood his brother's forbearance.
Every time he saw Sun Jun bowing his head to Quan Shang, Princess Quan, or even the little emperor, Sun Wei was always very angry. How could a man do such a flattering thing?
We have military power in our hands, so do we need to be afraid of these people? Just kill them directly!
Why do you need to be a dog to these people? ?
And Sun Wei has always wanted to prove himself. In layman's terms, he still has a strong desire to show off at this age. He needs to show others his achievements, his uniqueness, and his prestige.
When Sun Jun first fell ill, he had already begun to fantasize about leading troops to conquer the world and becoming the king of the world.
At this moment, Sun Jun has already announced his funeral arrangements, which makes Sun Wei even more excited. At least in his own heart, he is now a tall and powerful figure who will inherit the country when the country is in danger and support the Wu family.
Sun Wei called his four younger brothers from all over the country.
Sun Wei's eldest brother, Sun Ju, is only twenty-two years old this year. The other brothers are even in their teens.
But Sun Wei didn't care about this. His cousin told him to let him reuse his brothers!
Who says teenagers can't run a country and fight wars?
In ancient times, Huo Qubing and Han Xin were very young when they first led troops to fight.
When Sun Wei was thinking about how to arrange his brothers, Sun Jun came to his senses again.
Sun Jun lay weakly on the bed, his eyes full of fear.
He firmly grasped the hand of Sun Wei beside him, "What should I say if I meet the great emperor? What should I say?"
Sun Wei was shocked and turned pale. He hurriedly reassured: "Brother, it's okay. You eliminated thieves for the country and served the country wholeheartedly. There is no crime."
Sun Jun did not calm down because of this, he suddenly started crying.
"How should I face my father and the others?"
Sun Wei hurriedly comforted him. After an unknown amount of time, Sun Jun stopped crying. He closed his eyes, with fear still on his face, but he stopped moving.
At the end of October in the second year of Wufeng's reign in the Eastern Wu Dynasty, General Sun Jun died of heart disease.
Before his death, he appointed his cousin Sun Wei as a servant and general of the military guard, leading Chinese and foreign military affairs, assisting the young emperor, and taking charge of the court.
After the death of Sun Jun, the state of Wu was somewhat silent. It did not even cause any uproar like the death of Liu Zan in battle. No matter the ministers, the people, or the army, they all seemed a little indifferent.
After Sun Wei took office, he hurriedly issued the first order.
He asked the hussar general Lu Zhi to immediately return to the temple alone to see the general off and pay homage to the new general Wuwei.
At this moment, Lu Ju, who had just arrived in Wuchang with his army, also received an order from Sun Wei.
Sun Jun's critical illness was concealed by Sun Wei and others, and was not originally known to the public.
After seeing the order brought by the scout, Lu Zhi became furious.
"Who is Sun Wei? Does he also give orders to me?!"
Lu Ju's eyes widened with anger. He was already a little dissatisfied with Sun Jun's power and wanted to seize it. However, he did not take action against him because he had the merit of eliminating Zhuge Ke and had the support of the powerful family.
But now this Sun Wei is just a baby in his twenties, and Lu Zheng doesn't accept him at all.
Besides, this guy is so rude and allows me to go to see him alone? What does this mean? Do you want to capture yourself directly?
Lu Ju did not obey Sun Wei's edict. He immediately began to send people to contact his friends, such as General Tang Zi, General Zhu Yi and others.
Lu Ju asked them to submit a letter with him, asking General Teng Yin to be the prime minister and lead the government.
This general of the army, Teng Yin, was Sun Quan's son-in-law.
He had been in Wu for many years and had extremely senior qualifications. He had risen from being a prefect to being a general, and then leading a general. After Zhuge Ke was killed, the ministers recommended him to serve as Situ.
But Sun Jun thought that this man's prestige was too high and his merits were too great. If he were to become Situ Gong, it would definitely endanger his own power, so he suppressed the officials and prevented him from achieving the position of Situ.
After the death of Teng Yin's first wife, the princess, he married the sister of Sun Yi, the general of the Wu Kingdom's army. Lu Zhi's wife was also Sun Yi's sister, so the two became close.
At this moment, Lu Zheng wanted to let Teng Yin serve as prime minister, which was obviously to take away the power from Sun Wei.
Sun Wei waited for a long time in Jianye, but did not wait for Lu Zhi. Instead, he waited for letters from generals from all over the country. They actually asked for Teng Yin to be the prime minister.
Sun Wei immediately summoned his four younger brothers and began to discuss the matter.
These people decided to suppress the matter, chose to ignore the generals' letters, and looked for opportunities to get rid of them.
He once again sent a message to Lu Zheng, asking him to come quickly, otherwise he would be punished for his crime.
But Lu Zheng did not get used to Sun Wei. When he learned that Sun Wei ignored the generals' petition and was preparing to canonize several of his younger brothers, Lu Zheng decided to launch an army directly.
He wrote letters to his friends in various places, asking them to help him deal with Sun Wei.
At the same time, he wrote a letter to Teng Yin who was in the temple, asking him to prepare to replace Sun Wei.
When Sun Wei learned that Lu Zheng had begun to gather troops and prepared to march towards Jianye, he was furious.
Sun Wei sent an envoy with an edict to find Zhu Yi, Liu Zuan, Tang Zi and others, and asked them to gather an army to attack Lu Zhi.
He also ordered his brother Sun Xian, Ding Feng, Shi Kuan and others to serve as back-up troops and send troops from two places to attack Lu Ju.
The war was about to break out, and when Teng Yin was here, Sun Wei came forward to say that Teng Yin was rebelling, and asked General Liu Cheng to lead his cavalry to besiege Teng Yin.
For a time, Wu's country exploded and smoke spread everywhere.
The first was Teng Yin who was in Jianye. After he was besieged, a counselor persuaded him to go out to the Canglong Gate of the imperial palace so that he could incite Sun Wei's army for his own use.
However, he thought that Lu Zheng would arrive soon. Those generals were close to Lu Zheng and would not take action against Lu Zheng. It would be disrespectful to the emperor to lead the army to the palace, so he did not go out.
As a result, his mansion was quickly breached, and Sun Wei directly killed the veteran minister and ordered the execution of his three clans.
At the same time, Lu Zheng also suffered attacks from many parties.
His friends no longer cared about friendship at this moment. On the contrary, in order to prove that they had nothing to do with Lu Zheng, they actively fought with Lu Zheng.
Lu Zheng's private soldiers were very limited. Although they were elite, they were naturally incomparable to the tens of thousands of troops in the temple.
This general, who had never suffered a major defeat in his life, suffered a disastrous defeat at the hands of his own men, and was directly overwhelmed by the enemy's numerical superiority.
His confidants persuaded him, "Now you can surrender to Wei and take revenge on Sun Wei and others."
Lu Ju replied: "I am ashamed to be a traitor."
Soon, his private army was dispersed, and he himself fell into the hands of Wu Jun.
Lu Zhi did not want to be humiliated, so he committed suicide.
Sun Wei was overjoyed and ordered again to kill Lu Ju's three tribes.
Just when everyone thought the matter was over, Sun Wei thought that Teng Yin and Lu Zheng's wives were both Sun Yi's sisters, and Sun Yi must have been involved in the matter.
He immediately ordered the generals to besiege Xiakou and killed Sun Yi's younger brother Sun Feng.
Sun Yi was so frightened that he took Teng Yin's wife and more than a thousand of his tribe and fled to Cao Wei.
The state of Wu was in chaos, the morale of the army was shaken, and the officials were disloyal.
Sun Yi quickly brought the news to Guanqiu Jian.
