According to the script, after Zhu Ju comes over for the banquet, Feng Duhu will talk about the armored cavalry trainee camp, following the topic of leasing the first batch of weapons and armor to Wu.
Then naturally they would talk about the training camp they had gone out for a few days ago.
When talking about this matter, it is natural to talk about what we saw and heard along the way.
At that time, some insinuations can further deepen Zhu Ju's psychological implications on the matter of immortality.
I never thought that as soon as Zhu Ju came up, he would punish himself with three cups.
The twinkling eyes, the slightly guilty look, and the gesture of pouring the wine, it seems that if you ask more questions, I will get drunk and fall down on the spot.
This posture was such that even the far-sighted King Feng Gui didn't know how to proceed.
He was afraid that if the topic was carelessly mentioned, Zhu Ju would remain oblivious to human affairs.
After thinking about this, Feng Duhu carefully organized his words:
"General Zhu just said that Han and Wu are still allies and are fighting against the thieves. Lord Wu wants to build a cavalry army to resist Wei's elite cavalry, and has repeatedly sent envoys to Liaodong."
"In the past, the big man had no ability to help, so he could only do nothing. Now that the big man has rebuilt the racecourse, if he continues to stand by and watch, wouldn't he be an ally in vain?"
It's okay if Feng Duhu didn't say this, but when he said this, Zhu Ju felt even more ashamed.
If his maternal uncle (i.e. father-in-law) had not been the Great Emperor of Wu, he might have told the truth and returned the two books to Feng Duhu.
Obviously, that night, Feng Duhu's fellow disciples appeared around Chang'an just for these two booklets - at least partly for these two booklets.
Moreover, it can be known from what is said in "Insect Valley of Dian Kingdom" that Feng Duhu's sect should be on the sea to the east or south of Jiaozhou.
Da Wu was known for his ability as a boat master.
In the past few years, His Majesty did not send people to sea, and also found some overseas islands.
If based on this and based on the clues in the booklet, it is impossible to find Feng Duhu's sect.
When the time comes, by returning these two books in the name of Emperor Wu, I think I will be able to win the favor of the Hidden Immortal Sect.
Even if Feng Duhu’s overseas disciple cannot be found, isn’t there still a fellow disciple in the world?
Anyway, as long as you have these two books in hand, you may have a chance to establish a relationship with the legendary hidden immortal sect.
The Immortal Sect has the magnanimity of an Immortal, so how can it be so embarrassing to take advantage of it for nothing?
Not to mention sending out the disciples from the sect to assist Wu in achieving his great cause.
Even if you can get some knowledge that can help the world, that's enough!
If you don't see it, even the abandoned disciples can make waves in the world...
With the thought of "for His Majesty's great cause", Zhu Ju could only choose to pretend to be deaf and dumb when faced with Feng Duhu's earnest words.
"These words show how broad-minded Feng Duhu is!" Zhu Ju raised his glass in toast, "Ju Ju thinks he is far inferior. This cup is a private tribute to Feng Duhu!"
Your mother!
Can you talk properly?
How many words have I spoken since I sat down?
How many drinks have you had?
Feng Duhu almost couldn't hold himself back and wanted to reveal the case.
You turned a blind eye when you were supposed to cooperate with me in my performance!
Taking a deep breath, Feng Duhu forced a smile:
"General Zhu deserves the reward. I was just trying my best to bring down the thief."
"Come on, play some music and dance!"
We can't talk anymore.
Then just watch the dance and listen to the song.
I originally thought about spreading more materials and building a good nest to facilitate catching big fish.
Unexpectedly, the big fish couldn't wait to swallow the bait and hook.
The singers borrowed from Liu Yan's house can't be wasted, so let's go through the motions first.
Feng Duhu raised his glass and drank, then glanced sideways at Zhu Ju→_→
Forget it, to give you face, tonight will be considered a pure banquet.
Time soon came to October of the second year of Yanxi, and two major events happened in the State of Wu.
The first thing was that the important minister Pan Jun died of illness.
Pan Jun was the Taichang of the Wu State and was highly trusted by Sun Quan.
When Cao Rui was still alive, he wanted to plot Ji Han's land in Hanzhong. He first sent Yin Fan from the dead to the state of Wu, and then secretly sent people to incite Wuxi barbarians to rebel.
The intention was to delay the Wu State and prevent it from supporting the Shu State. Unfortunately, Feng turned around and Cao Rui and Cao Zhen finally broke their dreams in Xiaoguan.
However, Cao Rui's layout did cause some trouble for Wu State.
Not only was everyone in the Wu court in danger, they were also afraid of being implicated by Yinfan.
Moreover, Sun Quan still had to find a way to get someone to lead the army to quell the chaos in Jingnan.
Finally, it was decided to grant Pan Jun Fu Jie and let him supervise the army and work with Lu Dai to quell the Wuxi Rebellion.
Fortunately, Pan Jun rewarded and punished appropriately. In a few years, he killed and captured tens of thousands of people. Since then, the Wuxi barbarians have gradually declined.
After Wuling and other counties in the south of Jingzhou were stabilized, Pan Jun returned to Wuchang and jointly took charge of Jingzhou affairs with Lu Xun.
It can be said that Pan Jun has a great reputation in several counties in the south of Jingzhou.
His death caused quite a stir in the south of Jingzhou.
Precisely at this time, there was a rebellion by the Yi people in Jiaozhou - this was also the second major event.
Logically speaking, if there is rebellion in Jiaozhou, it would be most appropriate to send Lu Dai to quell the rebellion.
After all, it was he who put down the Jiaozhou Scholar Family Rebellion back then.
Moreover, he has been guarding Jiaozhou for several years and is most familiar with it.
But Lu Dai is already very old, nearly eighty years old.
In addition, Pan Jun's death was untimely, so Lu Dai, who originally led the army stationed in Puqi (ie Xianning, Hubei), was transferred to Wuchang to take Pan Jun's place.
Therefore, Sun Quan could only choose someone else and let General Jiang Mi lead the army to quell the chaos.
However, for Wu State, it has always been a common thing for the barbarians in the south to cause chaos.
Fortunately, things have improved over the years.
After all, Pan Jun first defeated the five barbarians in Jingzhou, and then Zhuge Ke defeated the Yue people in Danyang.
Like this time, the rebellion in Jiaozhou was unable to be quelled by the local government, and troops and horses needed to be mobilized to quell the rebellion. This was already quite a momentum.
Even so, there's no need to worry too much.
Because most of the time the barbarians have crude weapons and no organization. As soon as the regular army arrives, they are like snow meeting the scorching sun.
There is nothing wrong with this idea, and the reality is basically the same.
But just be afraid of everything.
This time, something unexpected happened.
The reason did not lie with the rebellious barbarians in Jiaozhou, but with the internal affairs of the Wu army.
The coach, Jiang Mi, had two brothers named Liao Shi and Liao Qian.
The two brothers followed Secretary Jiang to Jiaozhou and were halfway through pacifying the chaos. After learning that Pan Jun had died of illness, Liao Qian said to Liao Shi:
"In my opinion, the only one who can make peace with the state of Wu is Lü Dai. Now Pan Jun has died of illness, and Lü Dai has taken his place. However, he is approaching an old age. Since ancient times, how many people have survived in their eighties?"
"Besides, even if Lu Dai does not die, how can he lead the army at such an old age? If Lu Dai does not come, who in Wu will be able to serve Jiaozhou? This is a great opportunity."
At that time, Shi Hui, the son of Shi Xie, was in rebellion in the state. Lu Dai promised the rebels that if they surrendered voluntarily, they would protect their family property.
Who would have expected that when they believed Lu Dai's promise and surrendered, they were all executed by Lu Dai for regretting their promise.
The main figures of the scholar family who did not participate in the rebellion were all demoted to common people. A few years later, they were killed with the excuse that they had violated national laws.
The Shi family, which had been operating in Jiaozhou for decades, was uprooted by Lu Dai.
These actions of Lu Dai also greatly frightened the local snakes in Jiaozhou.
When Liao Qian said this at this time, the implication was already obvious.
Liao Shi's heart suddenly pounded, but he still hesitated:
"We are not the commander-in-chief of the army. I am afraid that the soldiers will not be willing to obey orders."
Liao Qian smiled contemptuously:
"Secretary Jiang, you are just a mediocre person, so what should you be afraid of? Besides, at this time, civil unrest is breaking out in all the counties in Jiaozhou, and they are constantly being suppressed. The barbarians are still able to separate the counties, how about us?"
"Jiaozhou is far away from the heart, and the road is blocked and the land is dangerous. If this can really be done, even if Zhao Tuo cannot do it, then it will be okay to be a scholar."
Most of the leading and powerful figures in Wu Guojun have some relationship with local powerful people.
The same goes for brothers Liao Shi.
They have some relationship with the Liao family in Jingzhou.
In other words, they are a branch of the Liao family in Jingzhou.
Although the Liao family in Jingzhou is not as powerful as the Huang family, Cai family, Xi family, etc., it can still be regarded as a local wealthy family.
Back then, Wu State stabbed its allies in the back and launched a surprise attack on Jingzhou, which resulted in huge immediate benefits.
But what is lost is long-term credibility.
In this era of keeping promises, many people are deeply despised by Sun Quan's actions.
As the saying goes, if something is good above, it will be effective below.
What Sun Quan did not only affected the entire Wu Kingdom, but Jingzhou, which was the center of the incident, set an extremely bad example:
In Wu State, there is no need to talk about etiquette, benevolence, justice and morality. As long as the interests are in place, there is nothing that cannot be done.
If the benefits were greater, stabbing Da Wu in the back wouldn't be a problem at all - for example, brown sugar?
In the view of the Liao brothers, the benefits of being the second Shixie in Jiaozhou were enough to backstab Wu.
So Liao Shi took the opportunity to kill Yan Gang, the prefect of Linhe (later Hezhou City), and called himself General Pingnan.
Then he and his brother Liao Qian and others jointly attacked Lingling and Guiyang, and the turmoil spread to Cangwu and Yulin counties in Jiaozhou.
But in January, tens of thousands of people gathered and the momentum was huge.
Lu Dai, who was stationed in Wuchang, received news of the unrest in southern Jingzhou and Jiaozhou earlier than Jianye.
He was so anxious that he went directly to see Lu Xun:
"The matter is urgent! If we report it to the imperial court and wait for His Majesty to issue an edict to quell the chaos, I am afraid that Jingnan and Jiaozhou will already be in chaos."
"In my opinion, it would be better if you let me lead the troops southward while you are on the battlefield. Your Majesty is wise and will not blame me."
Lu Xun had guarded Wuchang for many years. Although he had become estranged from Sun Quan over the years, he was still nominally the general in charge of half of the Wu Kingdom.
Lu Xun heard Lu Dai's words and said solemnly:
"Old General Lu said this too much! When His Majesty moved the capital to Jianye, he once said that everything west of Wuchang would be handled exclusively by Xun."
"Now there are thieves causing trouble in Jingnan, which is under my jurisdiction. State affairs are of paramount importance. The old general only needs to lead the army, and I will take care of the rest."
After the two men had finished their discussion, Lu Dai led the army to march day and night, constantly gathering the officers and soldiers along the way.
Lu Xun personally wrote a letter to Sun Quan, explaining the reasons. At the same time, he also petitioned Lu Dai to be the shepherd of Jiaozhou to correct his name.
Lu Xun's memorial was sent to Jianye. Sun Quan did not blame Lu Xun and Lu Dai in the court, but instead praised their decisiveness.
At the same time, he also issued an edict to send generals Tang Zi and others to continuously reinforce Lu Dai.
But after going to court, Sun Quan's face immediately became extremely gloomy when he returned to the harem.
In his hand, he held tightly the memorial Lu Xun sent from Wuchang.
The veins on the back of his hands have popped out.
Seeing His Majesty's appearance, everyone in the palace lowered their hands and lowered their eyebrows, not even daring to breathe.
When Queen Bu was still here, she could often persuade His Majesty. Even if His Majesty was angry, Queen Bu could quickly calm Him down.
Since the death of Queen Bu, His Majesty's temper has become increasingly irritable, and the lives of the people in the palace have become increasingly difficult.
It happened that at this time, Lu Yi, the school secretary of the school affairs office, came to report:
"Your Majesty, Zhou Yin, the Marquis of Duxiang, was taught by Your Majesty before, but now he still does not repent, indulges in drunkenness, and indulges in debauchery. Please let Your Majesty decide what crime he should be punished for."
Zhou Yin, the Marquis of Duxiang, was the second son of Zhou Yu. He had the highest title among the descendants of the heroes. In the early years, he led thousands of people to garrison the public security of the important town of Jingzhou, and was highly appreciated by Sun Quan.
Unfortunately, according to the report from the school affairs office, Zhou Yin's actions in the police failed to live up to Sun Quan's expectations.
Sun Quan, who had no place to vent his anger, immediately cursed:
"What are you talking about? That Shuzi still doesn't know how to repent? Shuzi is young and has no achievements at the beginning. He has received elite soldiers and has been given the title of marquis and general. He is thinking of Gong Jin and him."
"I never thought that he was arrogant because of being favored. He refused to change despite repeated admonitions. He was so disappointed in me! He was sent an imperial edict and was demoted to a commoner and moved to Luling!"
He was probably very angry, but when he saw Sun Quan talking, he smashed the memorial to the ground.
Zhou Yin's eldest brother Zhou Xun, who rose to the rank of Cavalry Commander, married the princess Sun Luban. Unfortunately, like his father Zhou Yu, he was unlucky and died young.
So Sun Luban remarried General Wei Quan Cong.
Probably because he and Zhou Xun were on the same path, Wei General Quan Cong had always taken good care of Zhou Yin.
After the generals at home and abroad learned of Sun Quan's decision, Quan Cong, Zhuge Jin, Bu Zhi, Zhu Ran and others presented memorials one after another to plead for Zhou Yin:
Therefore, the general Zhou Yu Ziyin was whitewashed in the past and was appointed as a general. He was unable to nourish him with good fortune.
I hope Sun Quan will forgive Zhou Yin for Zhou Yu's mistake.
Sun Quan refused to listen and only said:
"When I am alone in Gongjin, my righteousness is as high as that of all the princes. How can I be happy with Yin's accomplishments? I have forced Yin to commit sins and repaid him before it was expedient. I also want to suffer the consequences so that I can understand them. With Gongjin's son, and all the princes in the middle, If you can change it, why bother!"
It means that my friendship with Gong Jin is the same as that of other gentlemen. Naturally, I hope to see his son achieve success.
It's just that this son has done too much evil, so it's not appropriate to let him come back immediately. He still needs to be tortured and tempered.
With his body as the son of Gong Jin and the protection of all the kings, if he is allowed to correct himself, there will be nothing to worry about.
The brilliant words, the sincere words, the longing for Zhou Gongjin and the love for his descendants are beyond words.
When everyone heard what His Majesty said, it was indeed reasonable, so they had no choice but to send a letter to a certain unlucky kid named Zhou:
You just have to be patient. After a while, His Majesty's anger subsides, and we, the old ministers, will try to persuade His Majesty again. Also, during this period, remember that you have behaved better recently, and you will naturally be able to come back then.
What Zhou Yin could do was to stay in Luling obediently.
Probably because he felt that he had not taken good care of Zhou Yin, Quan Cong felt a little guilty, so he thought of another unlucky child named Zhou - Zhou Hu.
Zhou Yu's elder brother had a son named Zhou Jun, who was Zhou Yin's cousin. He died not long ago, leaving behind a son named Zhou Hu.
Quan Cong went to the table again and suggested that Zhou Hu lead the troops left behind by Zhou Jun.
This has always been the practice of Wu State.
But Sun Quan didn't know why, but he didn't agree:
"In the past, when Cao Cao left Jingzhou, he was the leader of Gong Jin. I never forget him. When I first heard about Jun's death, I still wanted to use him as a protector. I heard that the nature of the protector was dangerous, and using it would cause disaster, so he stopped it. Jin, how can you be so alone!"
The defeat of Cao Cao and the expansion of Jingzhou in the past were all due to Gong Jin, and I have never forgotten it.
Although I also wanted Zhou Hu to lead the army, I heard that he had a violent character and would cause trouble if I used him, so I didn't let him replace Zhou Jun.
Finally, Emperor Sun looked sad: I have never stopped missing Gong Jin!
Zhou Yin:? ? ?
Zhou Hu:? ? ?
Quan Cong:? ? ?
In the school affairs office, all the school officials praised Lu Yi:
"Lv Zhongshu's plan is really wonderful! In this way, the Zhou family's land in Jingnan over the years may not be preserved, and the school office's sugar cane land will be able to increase a lot."
Lu Yi smiled slightly, but there was a cold light in his eyes:
"This is just a small trick. The one I want is the Crown Princess."
The Crown Princess of Wu, surnamed Zhou, was the daughter of Zhou Yu.
Lu Yi had always kept in mind the incident when the East Palace secretly sent people to speak greedily to His Majesty, which almost led to the destruction of the school affairs office.
When the news about Wu State reached Chang'an, Zhu Ju hurriedly asked Feng Duhu to resign:
"Big events happened one after another in Dawu. I was worried about my lord, and I missed my hometown. I wanted to go back to Jiangdong."
Feng Duhu was naturally unwilling to let him go:
"What about the internship camp?"
"It's been nearly two years since the trainee camp came to Dahan, and I haven't been following him since. And it's already winter. There aren't many things going on in the army in winter, so there's no need to worry."
Feng Duhu took a deep look at Zhu Ju and finally nodded:
"Since General Zhu has said this, I will explain this matter to Your Majesty tomorrow."
