Here are all heroes from Jiangdong, who are well versed in history and know that nursery rhymes should never be underestimated. Therefore, when they heard the nursery rhymes in the morning, they each thought deeply about their meaning.
"The emperor is not the emperor, the emperor of Luoyang is standing by the side!"
It refers to the fact that the Emperor of the Han Dynasty has lost power and cannot even live in the capital of Luoyang. He can only live in Xudu and be an emperor who stands aside.
"The king is not the king, but Yecheng is called the Prime Minister Gu Cao!"
It refers to the fact that sooner or later, Cao Cao wanted to stand on his own behalf on behalf of the Han Dynasty, claiming that he was a loner and a widower. In the future, even if he was granted a king with a different surname, he would not be able to stop him. This is not difficult to understand.
But the last two sentences, "A relative but not a relative, weavers mats and sells shoes for the King of Hanzhong!" seem to be talking about Liu Bei. Liu Bei claims to be a clan member of the Han Dynasty. To say that he is not a relative is to betray the Han Dynasty, but the King of Hanzhong also What's the explanation? Now Liu Zhang occupies Yizhou and Zhang Lu occupies Hanzhong. To be king of Hanzhong, it has to be them two. When will it be Liu Bei's turn?
As for the last sentence, "Generals are not generals, Zhou Lang will conquer the Yangtze River in one battle!", it is interesting.
This nursery rhyme obviously talks about people who can be kings and hegemons. Zhou Yu is a suave and suave man, known as Zhou Lang. Everyone in Jiangbiao knows this, but after all, he is not the leader of the princes, but just a general.
Why are Zhou Yu and characters like the Emperor Liu Xie, Cao Cao, and Liu Bei listed in nursery rhymes?
If there is really a tie, Sun Quan should be on the list.
The one on the list now is Zhou Yu. It is obvious that this nursery rhyme is going to say that as long as Zhou Yu conquers the Yangtze River in one battle, he can become a king and hegemon like the three people in front of him.
Will this prevent Sun Quan from being suspicious?
So Lu Su wanted to see Sun Quan, Da Qiao wanted to see Sun Quan, but Sun Quan was not convenient to see Zhou Yu.
Gu Yong looked at the bamboo slips between the tables and inexplicably remembered the messenger who called them "rats" yesterday.
Yesterday, the man satirized the Jiangdong ministers with a poem. He could not jump out of Lushan Mountain to see Lushan Mountain. He could not judge the whole situation and delayed the major events in Jiangdong. Therefore, he was short-sighted.
Today's nursery rhyme is another completely different routine from that of the messenger. Although everyone knows that the nursery rhyme was deliberately made up by someone, it can put Zhou Yu on the fire and cause irreparable damage between him and Sun Quan. of cracks.
Since ancient times, which king is not worried about the general taking over power, and which king is not afraid of the rebellion of his border ministers?
The examples of Dong Zhuo entering the capital and Cao Cao holding the emperor hostage are still before our eyes. Will Sun Quan trust Zhou Yu and feel free to hand over military power?
You know, now Zhou Yu, as the governor, has just led all the troops to conquer Jiangxia and killed Huang Zu, and his prestige in the army is at its peak.
In fact, after killing Huang Zu, Zhou Yu not only occupied all the parts south of the Yangtze River in more than a dozen counties in Jiangxia, but even occupied Xiakou for a time. However, Sun Quan asked Zhou Yu to plunder some of the people and then withdraw from Xiakou.
Based on this, Gu Yong even speculated that after winning the Battle of Jiangxia, Sun Quan sent Zhou Yu to Poyang alone to prevent his great achievements from overpowering the emperor.
Nowadays, nursery rhymes just put these things in plain sight.
But this was not over yet, Zhang Zhao said: "If we say that in Chaisang City, the most motivated people to alienate the Lord and Gong Jin are only three people."
"The first is me. I can't prove this to myself, but I dare to swear to God that it was definitely not me! If I did it, I would be thundered that day, and I would no longer be the head of Jiangdong's civil servants!"
Gu Yong hurriedly said: "Chang Shi is serious. Everyone in Jiangdong knows it. It can't be you!"
Zhang Zhaodao: "You all just need to know. If it were really me, I would have done it long ago. Why wait until now?"
He took a sip of tea and continued: "The second one is Zhang Song. But everyone has seen it. Zhang Song came from Xichuan and only has more than ten people under his command. He just entered the city and is not familiar with the things in the city. Why do he do these things? ?”
"The third one is Pang Tong. Although he only entered the city early in the morning, he has been our Jiangdong official for a long time. It is really easy to place people in the city in advance."
"He abandoned us and others, abandoned the light and turned to darkness, and went to find Liu Bei. I'm afraid he had a backup plan already!"
"He wanted to cooperate with us, but he was also afraid that we would really defeat Cao Cao and occupy Jingzhou, so he alienated the relationship between the monarch and his subjects in advance! This made the lord jealous of Gong Jin and also suspected that I wrote this nursery rhyme."
"He compares mat weavers and shoe sellers with heroes like Cao Mengde, and with the emperor of Luoyang. With such flattery skills, it is no wonder that he was honored as an envoy and returned to Soochow as soon as he arrived at Liu Bei's place!"
After listening to this analysis, all the knowledgeable people at the table were angry.
Yes, why does Zhang Song, an outsider from Xichuan, do this? But Pang Tong is different. He has motives and abilities. If it's not him, who else could it be!
Thinking of this, Lu Ji said excitedly: "Masters, we should go to the lord immediately and expose this person's true face!"
Yan Zhen said: "That's right! Even if my lord really doesn't want to surrender to Cao Cao, why should I, the Jiangdong Tiger, rely on Liu Bei's thousands of weak soldiers?"
Zhang Zhao made the final decision: "Since all the gentlemen think so, it is impossible to say that today all the heroes from Jiangdong will go to the lord's mansion to expose the face of the little thief Pang Tong!"
…
In Sun Quan's house, Pang Tong had an interview with Sun Quan. After only a few words, Sun Quan already looked sullen.
It turned out that after Pang Tong talked about Liu Bei's desire to form an alliance, he spoke out and pointed out the various contradictions in Jiangdong governed by Sun Quan.
Everything he said hit the point, which made Sun Quan uncomfortable and very angry.
His idea was, you didn't say anything when you were in Jiangdong. How come you only picked on me when you got to Liu Bei's camp?
Da Qiao was listening behind the curtain, also frowning. She knew that everything Pang Tong said was right, but Pang Tong could see the size, couldn't Sun Quan see it?
After Sun Ce passed away, 19-year-old Sun Quan took over as the leader. It took a lot of effort to consolidate Jiangdong into this state. Da Qiao knew this very well. She complained on behalf of Sun Quan and also complained against her dead husband.
However, Pang Tong was eloquent when he commented on the matter. Lu Su winked frequently, but Pang Tong seemed not to notice.
After a while, a boy outside the door came to report that a soldier came to Lu Su with official business.
Lu Su wanted to get up, but when he heard that it was about today's nursery rhyme, he simply asked the soldiers to come in and report in front of Sun Quan.
The soldiers came to the hall and told them what they had found. The expressions of Lu Su and Zhao Yun changed immediately.
Sun Quan didn't know, but they knew clearly that what the soldiers found was exactly where they stayed this morning.
Zhao Yun's mind was spinning, and he guessed that someone must have framed them. He held the short blade that had not been searched when he entered the door, ready to protect the military advisor and escape at any time.
But Pang Tong seemed completely unaware and still talked about the current shortcomings in Jiangdong.
Sun Quan saw the look on Lu Su's face and knew something was wrong. Before he asked, the doorman came again and reported that it was Jiangdong civil servant Zhang Zhao and others who wanted to see him.
"this……"
Sun Quan didn't want to see Zhang Zhao, but he didn't want to listen to Pang Tong's nagging. He knew clearly that Zhang Zhao must have come because of the nursery rhymes, but he was in Chaisang and not in the mountains. After all, he could not avoid the officials, so he had to say: "Let them in!"
So many scribes entered the courtyard in great force. The two temporary rooms used as halls were too small to accommodate all the scribes. Only a few people such as Zhang Zhao, Yu Fan, and Gu Yong came in.
As soon as he came in, Zhang Zhao saw Lu Su and nodded in greeting. He ignored Pang Tong sitting aside and said directly: "My lord, please arrest someone!"
"who is it?"
Sun Quan frowned, his heart pounding, fearing that Zhang Zhao wanted to arrest Zhou Yu because of seeing the nursery rhyme, and the matter would become a big deal.
Zhang Zhaodao: "Please arrest Jiangdong Central Guards Zhou Yu..."
Everyone in the audience was shocked. Lu Su stood up in fear, and Sun Quan pinched the corners of his clothes.
Zhang Zhao went on to say: "...Meritor Pang Tong!"
It turned out that what he was talking about was not to arrest Zhou Yu!
Zhao Yun was surprised now. He was almost about to take out his short blade, but Pang Tong was drinking tea nearby, still content.
Sun Quan said sarcastically: "Why did Zibu say this?"
Zhang Zhao was not able to verbally engage Cao Wu yesterday, and felt regretful in his heart. He had already thought of his words today, and was not afraid that Pang Tong would be present. What he was afraid of was that Pang Tong would not verbally engage him.
He finished his draft and was about to speak when the doorman came in again.
The doorman said: "My lord! Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Ling Tong and other generals want to see my lord!"
Lu Su sat back down.
No one could have imagined that a nursery rhyme would cause chaos in Jiangdong.
