The Three Kingdoms

Time also began to enter Long Ce five years.

Just entering the beginning of the new year, above the imperial court, a new year's drama is being staged.

At the beginning of spring in March, Zongzheng Sun Jing formally presented to the court council, requesting the emperor Sun Quan to be canonized as the crown prince, with the attitude that the crown prince can be the crown prince, to continue the Great Wu Guozuo, to ensure the stability of the court, and to secure the hearts of the people in the world.

In fact, the battle for the East Palace and the vacancy of the position of the crown prince were always the most concerned matters of the civil and military ministers at that time.

After Sun Quan's defeat of Rome, life and death were uncertain, and Sun Ce seized the throne, the entire Wu court was more concerned about the position of the crown prince in the East Palace, and they all hoped that the court could establish a crown prince as soon as possible.

The crown prince represents an heir.

Regardless of whether it is through the ages, any kingdom, family, or heir is a struggle that cannot be ignored. Only an heir can stabilize the hearts of the subordinates.

As the saying goes, there are unpredictable things in the sky, and people have good fortune and misfortune. The current glory and prosperity of the Great Wu court are clearly visible, but because Sun Quan is too strong, there are some shortcomings after all. Only with a crown prince can the court Only by being more stable can the people's hearts be more stable.

Sun Quan also knew that the struggle between the princes of the Eastern Palace was inevitable.

So when April entered, Sun Quan personally issued an imperial decree that the ministers of civil and military affairs of the court, whether they were ministers of military affairs or cabinet ministers, had the right to announce the position of the crown prince of the East Palace, so that the court council could select the crown prince.

His decree once again opened up the battle for the crown prince in the Great Wu Dynasty.

The cabinet, the military aircraft department, and the ministers stood on their respective positions, and they all got involved in this battle.

In May, Sun Sheng, the great prince's son, returned to Chang'an City from Yingchuan Academy. Under the personal recommendation of Lu Su, the minister of the imperial court, he was enlisted by the staff department of the Military Aircraft Department as the deputy general of the staff.

In the middle of May, Sun Shao, the son of Sun Ce, the former prince, entered Chang'an City from Jinling City, and was recommended as the right servant of the Ministry of War.

In June, the second prince, Sun Han, was promoted by Shangshu Mi Zhu of the Ministry of Commerce to become the right minister of the Ministry of Commerce and the third in command of the Ministry of Commerce.

In the same month, Sun Dong became the head of the household department Zuo Shilang.

The four children of the royal family who are most likely to become the prince of the great Wu began to embark on the stage of hostility and competition with each other, and the drama that was called the four dragons fighting for the heir apparent in the history of the great Wu officially kicked off.

……

July.

The scorching summer has come, and Chang'an City is under the shining of a red sun, and the sweltering weather makes people feel a little out of breath.

Weiyang Palace City, Jiaofang Palace.

There are bronze tripods placed in the hall, each tripod contains ice cubes from the cellar, the ice cubes are melting, and traces of cold air are enveloping every corner of the entire hall.

"The whole damn weather, you don't have to live if you go out!"

Sun Quan smiled wryly while looking at the memorial.

Even though some ice cubes in the hall cool down, he still feels very stuffy. The weather in the dog days is uncomfortable, even worse than the icy cold weather. If it is cold, you can wear more clothes, but if it is hot, you may not be able to take off your clothes.

"Your Majesty, can I add more ice cubes, please!" said a young eunuch.

"no need!"

Sun Quan shook his head: "You all go down!"

"promise!"

A group of eunuchs left the Jiaofang Palace.

Sun Quan continued to pick up the memorials and review them.

"Your Majesty, the melody was just played!" Sima Lang walked out of the side hall of Jiaofang Hall, and handed over a memo.

"Where did it play!"

"Jiangdong Wuzhou!"

"Jiangdong?" Sun Quan suddenly realized: "July is about to enter the rainy season, it seems that Jiangdong can't sit still, and wants to prevent it in advance!"

He opened it, and it turned out to be the memorabilia of the governor of Wuzhou, and it was about the rainy season.

"Your Majesty, it is a good thing that they can consciously prevent it!"

"That's right!"

Sun Quan nodded: "Natural disasters are unstoppable. At that time, the imperial court had to do its best to protect the people. It ordered the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Household Affairs to come up with a plan to deal with the coming of the rainy season!"

"promise!"

Sima Lang nodded.

"By the way, have those little bastards made any noise recently?" Sun Quan asked suddenly.

The little bastards he was talking about were the sons of the Sun family who were trying to compete for the position of the crown prince.

"Report to Your Majesty, the few of them have frequently met with the ministers of the cabinet and military aircraft department recently!" Sima Lang said respectfully.

"How's it going?"

"The current situation is a bit simple and confusing, and many ministers naturally dare not stand in line!"

"Boda, who do you think is most likely to become the crown prince!"

"I dare not speculate!"

"I allow you to speculate!" Sun Quan smiled and forced a sentence.

Sima Lang is the boss of the Sima family. In terms of military strategy, he is definitely no match for his younger brother Sima Yi. Besides, his ability in handling government affairs is still unique.

Sun Quan's question is not only to see his vision, but also to test his position.

"minister……"

Sima Lang knelt down in the hall, with a slight smile on his face. This matter is a matter of seizing the heir. If it is not done well, he will lose his head. He really doesn't want to get involved, but Sun Quan has asked for this, so he still Answered: "Your Majesty, I think the chances of Gongsun Shao in Beijing are very low. Even if Zhou Yu, Minister of the Ministry of War, fully supports him, it may be difficult for the courtiers to trust him. After all, he is the son of Sun Bofu. This is an unchangeable fact. , is also the reason why the ministers dare not trust him!"

Sun Ce's rebellion left a deep impact on the current ministers.

And Sun Shao has always been Sun Ce's son, this is his only burden, and it is also a roadblock that prevents him from becoming a prince again.

"Continue!" Sun Quan looked indifferent.

"As for the second prince Sun Han, in the battle of Jinling City that year, he responded like a general. Although he lost to Sun Bofu in the end, it was not a crime of war. He was able to stand up in times of crisis. It is a very good quality, but after all, he has been hiding his power for too long, so the courtiers are not very familiar with him, and his chances are very low!"

"You are very logical in your analysis!"

A playful smile appeared on the corner of Sun Quan's mouth: "Keep talking!"

"Yes!"
