The Three Kingdoms

The outbreak of the two major events within less than three days shocked the government and the public.

Many ministers began to reminisce, and the ministers who had firmly opposed Sun Quan's personal conquest of the Roman Empire before had begun to shut up one by one.

……

In late April, the second imperial court conference on Sun Quan's personal conquest of the Roman Empire was held.

This time the meeting lasted for a whole day, and in the evening, the final voting results came out. There were eight votes in favor of Sun Quan's personal conquest of the Roman Empire, and only five votes against Sun Quan's personal conquest of the Roman Empire.

The discussion of Sun Quan's personal conquest of the Roman Empire was completely passed.

……

Fifth day of May.

The imperial court officially issued a decree to the world, and the place where the list is posted. The Great Wu Dynasty is launching the second battle against the Roman Empire from today. In this battle, the Great Wu will invest all its troops and rush to the battlefields of the Western Regions to conquer the Roman Empire in one go.

East Palace.

"Your Majesty is so ruthless that he pushed Sun Sheng to the end and sent him to the army?" Sun Dong was a little surprised by the result.

When he urged Sun Sheng to go up to play, he had already somewhat expected that Sun Sheng's going to go up would inevitably arouse Sun Quan's anger, but he never thought that Sun Quan's hands would be so ruthless, that he was his own son, the eldest son, who was directly dispatched into the army.

Sure enough, the emperor is ruthless.

"This is a good thing for Your Highness!"

"Yes, after Sun Sheng was sent to the army, no one above the imperial court is qualified to compete with His Highness for the position of the heir apparent!"

All the officials of the East Palace were very happy.

"Hmph, you guys are too happy!"

As the number one staff member under the Duke of the Eastern Palace, Cao Chong had a gloomy face at this moment.

"Cang Shu, what's wrong?" Sun Dong asked.

"Your Highness, do you really think His Majesty sent Sun Sheng into the army because he was angry?"

Cao Chong sneered slightly.

"Is not it?"

"Do you know where Sun Sheng went to join the army?"

"where?"

"Central Legion!"

"So what?" Sun Dong still didn't understand: "He is His Majesty's son after all. Even if His Majesty is angry and sends him into the army, it is normal for His Majesty to feel sorry for him and put him in the Central Army Corps!"

"How can this matter be so simple!"

Cao Chong's eyes were as sharp as ice, and he said to Sun Dong in a quiet tone: "During the Warring States period, Jin was fighting for succession, Chong'er was safe outside, Shen Sheng was inside and died, this is a lesson!"

"Chong Er is safe outside, Shen Sheng died inside?"

Hearing these words, Sun Dong trembled and felt a little chilly. His eyes widened, and he looked at Cao Chong. The smart man had already understood a lot, and he murmured to himself in a low voice: "I am in the imperial court. , will definitely be suppressed by me and unable to move at all, if he is leading troops outside, then..."

"Now you understand His Majesty's deep meaning!"

Cao Chong said.

"Will Your Majesty let Sun Sheng take control of the military?"

"I don't know, he is too sensitive about military power, but His Majesty put Sun Sheng in the Central Army Corps to give him a chance to fight with you. After all, it is the blood of father and son, so he is still a little biased!"

"I can understand him!"

Sun Dong thought for a while, and said with some self-mockery: "My son is a little closer than my younger brother, isn't he?"

After he finished speaking, he felt a little puzzled in his heart, and said through gritted teeth: "But what I don't understand is that he has already chosen me as the heir apparent, and still promotes Sun Sheng like this. Once Sun Sheng takes control of the military power, how can he tolerate it?" If you leave me, I will definitely not tolerate him, so isn't your Majesty afraid that the tragedy of him and brother will happen to both of us?"

Now they can still coexist, but if they continue to develop like this, one day, between the two of them, only one can live alone.

Because that throne can only be sat by one person.

"Your Highness, you are still too naive. I advise you not to take too many chances. This is the royal family, and this is taking the throne. The emperor is alive, and the loser is dead!"

Cao Chong said calmly: "Your Majesty wants an heir who can sit on the throne, just like the southern barbarians are raising a kind of insect called Gu, they put all the poisonous insects in a container, let them Biting each other, the one who survives in the end is the drum, similarly, the one who can survive between you is qualified to be the emperor of Wu and the master of all people in the world!"

"I seem to have never seen through His Majesty!"

"He is Your Majesty. He went to the battlefield at the age of ten. He conquered the north and south and conquered the great Wu Dynasty. How can you and I see through it!"

Cao Chong shook his head, with a sarcastic smile on his face.

"Then what do we do now?"

"You must not leave the court, because you are already the crown prince, but I can!"

Cao Chong thought for a long time before he came up with this solution: "Tomorrow I will play, and I request to join His Majesty in the Eastern Expedition!"

"Is your majesty ready to respond?"

"meeting!"

"why?"

"Because he doesn't want to see that you can't touch the military power. After all, you are His Royal Highness, the Prince of Wu!"

"It seems that this game of chess between us and Sun Sheng is not the end, but just the beginning!"

Sun Dong smiled wryly.

"How long your majesty can say, how long the war between us can last, your majesty must be prepared, and you will stay in this East Palace for ten years, 20 years, 30 years, or even farther!"

"I've already thought about this. Your Majesty is in the prime of life. Even without Sun Sheng, the position of the crown prince will probably last for decades. I can sit still, and I can bear it!" Sun Dong is confident the way.

"There is going to be a war!"

"The imperial court is going to send troops to conquer the Roman Empire!"

"I, Da Wu, finally sent troops again. This time we will definitely conquer the Roman barbarians!"
