One thing Sun Quan and Qin Chuan agreed on was that they both believed that General He Jin was indecisive and did not act decisively. Therefore, not to mention the Queen Mother Dong's affairs in the palace this time, Dong Zhong's affairs outside the palace probably have nothing to do with Qin Chuan. There must be someone else pushing behind the scenes to make General He Jin take action so quickly!
As for the person behind this, Sun Quan and Qin Chuan also agree, that is - Dong Zhuo!
In the eyes of the two of them, Dong Zhuo was a member of the Dong family, but he was very close to General He Jin. He was probably a double agent! People on both sides knew that Dong Zhuo was related to the other side, but people on both sides believed that Dong Zhuo was actually with their side. They seemed to have never thought about the possibility that Dong Zhuo was a third party!
Therefore, when the double agent Dong Zhuo told the general He Jin that Dong Zhong was going to attack him, how could He Jin still sit still after hearing this? No matter how indecisive and burning your butt is, you will know how to jump. As long as Dong Zhuo really releases similar information, and as long as He Jin believes Dong Zhuo's words, this will inevitably be the result! Seeing that General He Jin alienated Sun Jian because of Dong Zhuo, we can see how much he trusted Dong Zhuo. What use does Sun Jian have to He Jin? Just beat the Yellow Turban thieves. But Dong Zhuo is different. With Dong Zhuo's help, He Jin can easily eliminate the Queen Mother Dong's lineage!
"I suspect that at that time Li Ru discovered that you were unwilling to cooperate with him and was worried that you would expose him, so he took the lead, approached He Jin, and completely rebelled against Empress Dowager Dong." Qin Chuan speculated.
Sun Quan raised his eyebrows,
"Brother Qin, are you blaming me?"
Qin Chuan shook his head and said,
"How could I blame you? The choice you made at that time was the right one. Besides, didn't I already say it before? The situation is still under control."
Sun Quan shook his head secretly, it seems that you underestimate Dong Zhuo too much. Controllable? It's completely out of control, okay? General He Jin easily defeated Empress Dowager Dong and Dong Zhong, two of his biggest enemies. He was bound to be in a period of blind arrogance in a short period of time. As the saying goes, arrogant soldiers will be defeated. This was the time when He Jin was at his most critical. Dangerous times.
Of course, He Jin also had a think tank under his command. Of course, he also knew that he should take advantage of the victory to pursue the victory and eliminate the ten permanent servants. But the Shi Changshi and the Queen Mother Dong are two completely different situations. He Jin wants to destroy the Shi Changshi, but the biggest pressure he faces comes from his sister, the Queen Mother He! First, the Ten Constant Attendants are just eunuchs in the final analysis. They stood with Empress Dowager Dong back then, and now they may naturally stand with Empress Dowager He. In addition, when the Young Emperor ascended the throne, there were also several standing attendants who supported him. Empress Dowager He did not destroy the Ten Immortals. The necessity of constant service. Secondly, when Emperor Ling was still there, Empress Dowager He made a mistake and was almost removed from the position of queen, but Shi Changshi helped her to speak. In addition, the two parties had been getting along in the palace for so many years, and they could be said to be kind and affectionate. He The Queen Mother also couldn't bear to kill Shi Chang. Third, He Jin was outside the palace and sent troops to annihilate the ten regular servants. There was no danger at all. However, the Queen Mother He stayed in the palace all the time. If the ten regular servants jumped over the wall in a hurry, it would be the Queen Mother He and her son who would be harmed in the end. , do you think Queen Mother He might agree to He Jin's chaos?
The biggest enemy, Empress Dowager Dong, is dead, and the remaining ten ministers are on the same page as Empress Dowager He. As a woman, Empress Dowager He obviously hopes to live a stable life and is unwilling to take any more risks.
"If you say it's controllable, then it's controllable." Sun Quan said, "But since it's controllable, what can you do if you find out the truth?"
"Hey." Qin Chuan sighed, "I don't want to hide it from you, I just want to have peace of mind."
Otherwise, Qin Chuan is really worried that he will not be able to persevere, and one day his mood will be damaged, and his cultivation level may even decline.
"It turns out it's just for peace of mind, so why should I help you?" Sun Quan immediately replied.
"You?!" Qin Chuan stared at Sun Quan with wide eyes, feeling extremely aggrieved for a moment. He has been popular in all aspects because of his appearance and being a young emperor, not to mention being a proud man of heaven. Taking care of him, he has never had any luck with Sun Quan. Could this man be his destined enemy?
"Okay, okay, okay, why don't you let me help you?" Seeing Qin Chuan's expression, Sun Quan quickly changed his words and said a little speechlessly, "Brother Qin, as a grown man, don't pretend to be pitiful in front of me. Chu Chu looks pitiful, right?"
The reason why Sun Quan has never doubted that Qin Chuan is a woman is because Qin Chuan has enough masculine characteristics, and the other reason is because Qin Chuan does not have any feminine qualities in his speech or behavior. In other words , just not girly at all. It can be said that this is the first time that Qin Chuan has shown his weak side in front of Sun Quan.
"Hmph! I'm not asking you to help me for free!" Qin Chuan puffed out his cheeks and looked sullen.
Sun Quan rolled his eyes and smiled,
"Brother Qin, you said this yourself~~ I didn't ask for a reward from you. You said, we are all so familiar with each other, it's just a trivial matter, why are you so polite?"
"Then you don't want it?" Qin Chuan said deliberately.
"Ahem, even if I don't want it, I know brother Qin would be embarrassed not to give it to him, right?" Sun Quan laughed cheekily.
"I really don't know what I owed you in my previous life!" Qin Chuan was speechless and said directly, "After this is done, I will let you read one more page of the Secret of Immortality. What do you think?"
Qin Chuan knew that this was what Sun Quan cared about most at the moment, and only the Secret of Immortality could make Sun Quan truly willing to help him.
"Hehe! I knew you were the best, brother Qin!" Sun Quan was filled with joy. "If you still need help with anything, just come to me!"
"I'm afraid you are only willing to help me six times in total." Qin Chuan couldn't help complaining.
"Brother Qin's words have gone unnoticed." Sun Quan said with a serious face, "If you really think so, then I will just read one page of the Secret of Immortality as usual, and I will still help you if you are busy. How about that?"
"Okay, okay, I said the wrong thing, and I apologize to you." Qin Chuan clapped his hands gently.
"Brother Qin, you are good at everything, but you are too polite and too external. It will be great when you can truly treat me as a friend." Sun Quan shook his head and sighed. At this time, he had completely understood Zu Mao's words. Forgot. In private terms, Sun Quan thinks that Qin Chuan is indeed a good person and is worth making friends with; in terms of public opinion, Sun Quan also hopes that Cihang Jingzhai can support him when the world is in chaos in the future (Sun Quan now has no idea that Cihang Jingzhai here is essentially It is impossible to support him). Therefore, Sun Quan really wants to have a good relationship with Qin Chuan.
"Friends..."
Qin Chuan murmured that among his peers, except for his senior brothers, he had never known what friends were. Can people outside really be trusted as much as in the sect?
······
Afternoon,
When Yuan Wei returned from the palace, Sun Quan and Qin Chuan also received the exact news. They didn't have to go to school today and finally had a day of leisure. So, Sun Quan thought about it and thought whether he should change his approach and try the Immortality Secret again. After all, it was rare for him to have such sufficient skills. But before Sun Quan could fully prepare, an uninvited guest came to his home.
Cai Wenji and Tang Yu visited.
