The Three Kingdoms

"Master Zheng also thinks that Gu shouldn't reform at this time, right?"

Sun Quan narrowed his eyes slightly and asked in a low voice.

Zheng Xuan is also a member of the older generation, so he is probably not very optimistic about the reform.

"Zhongmou, this old man has never been involved in the imperial court in his whole life, whether or not the great Wu reformed, and when the reform will be implemented, these things, the old man really can't give you an opinion!"

Zheng Xuan smiled indifferently, and said nonchalantly: "However, the old man has lived for many years. I have some life experience. I can give you a suggestion. If you want to achieve something, you don't have to press hard. During this time, you have done too much. Now, maybe at the right time, take a step back, and you will have unexpected gains!"

"Take a step back?"

When Sun Quan heard this, a bright light flashed across his eyes.

Maybe these old guys are right. During this period of time, he just pulled the string of the reform too tightly, step by step, and it naturally felt perfect, but it was because of this that more and more people opposed it.

There are some things that cannot be rushed.

"Zhongmou, I'm getting old, but I can't stay up at night, and I'm tired today, so I won't accompany you!" Zheng Xuan wiped his mouth, stood up, looked at Sun Quan, and said with a smile.

"Lei Ding, get someone to escort Master Zheng back to the front yard!"

Sun Quan quickly stood up and said.

"No need!" Zheng Xuan shook his head, walked out by himself, and said as he walked, "This old man is more familiar with you than you, so I can just go back by myself!"

Watching Zheng Xuan's back disappear into the night, Sun Quan seemed to feel more and more hunched over. Jinling Academy is now on the right track. He is getting older and older, and I am afraid that he is a little bit powerless.

"Zijing, after returning to the city, you arrange someone to review the academy carefully to see who can take over Master Zheng's position. Master Zheng is old after all."

Sun Quan sat down along a big green stone, and reminded: "I don't want him to work so hard!"

"Someone understands!"

Lu Su nodded upon hearing this.

"Zijing, what do you think of the reform?" Before the bonfire, the firelight reflected the faces of the two, Sun Quan looked at Lu Su, and asked suddenly.

"Your Majesty must rely on something to do things!"

Lu Su pondered for a moment, considered his vocabulary, and said after a while: "Although many people in the court oppose it, there are indeed many disadvantages with the current law of the court of Wu State. Reform is feasible, but at this juncture... ..."

"It's a bit urgent, isn't it?"

Sun Quan smiled and added.

"I just think that after two years of reform, it may be much better than it is now!" Lu Su said calmly.

"You can see the big picture, Gu is very pleased!"

Sun Quan's amber eyes flickered for a moment, and he said to Lu Su while he ate the roasted antelope, "But you still don't understand the timing of the reform. Breaking the old system cannot be carried out in a calm situation, because stability will lead to a lot of troubles." It makes people feel that it is better to maintain the status quo, and that will only make the resistance more intense, and the best choice is to take advantage of the chaos and not completely stabilize it!"

"Your Majesty's idea is very good, but the risk is too great. What if..." Lu Su accepted Sun Quan's persuasion, but he was still a little worried, and his brows furrowed involuntarily.

"Gu knows the worry in your heart, but even if Gu fails, there is still you!"

Sun Quan looked at him pointedly.

"What does your Majesty mean by this?" Lu Su was taken aback.

"I use Zhou Gongjin alone, Gu Yuantan as the vanguard of the reform, and you, Lu Zijing, do not have a place among the six ministers. As the elder of the Donghou Mansion and the confidant of the lonely minister, are you not reconciled?" Sun Quan looked slightly Squint, asked back.

Speaking of it, Lu Su is his true loyalist, but he proposed the reform with Zhou Yu and Gu Yong as leaders instead of his confidant Lu Su.

This is a bit puzzling to many people.

"I'm not unwilling, I just feel a little puzzled!" Lu Su said calmly.

"I don't need you, it's not that I don't believe in you, I just had a good idea, I'm alone in the court, the most detailed person is you, I'm just leaving a way out for myself!" Sun Quan said.

Once the reform fails, Zhou Yu, Gu Yong and others will be hidden in the snow, or even exiled as scapegoats for the failure of the reform. At that time, Lu Su will be the pillar supporting the court.

"Don't you have confidence in the reform?" Lu Su suddenly understood, and felt a little horrified in his heart. He rarely saw Sun Quan do things he was not sure about.

"Ugh!"

Sun Quan sighed, and said somewhat self-deprecatingly: "From ancient times to the present, the reform is to reform the old order and establish a new order. Any reform is a risk. Even a generation of sages are not absolutely confident that the reform will be successful. Gu is not a god, so Gu himself cannot guarantee that the reform will be successful. If it fails, someone needs to clean up the mess.

Sitting alone in the position of the king of Wu, you have to be responsible for thousands of people in Wu. The reform means that you are alone. It is good to succeed, but if you fail, you do not want to affect the livelihood of the people of Wu. And you are the most steadfast. backing! "

Accepting the new order requires a process. Sun Quan believed that the system he proposed was the best, but he couldn't guarantee that his reform would surely succeed.

Therefore, he was fully prepared. Once the reform failed, it would be better for another Lu Su to stand up and clean up the mess.

"Your Majesty, please don't worry, I will do my best to protect the country of Wu Kingdom for Your Majesty!"

Lu Su was moved a little. Sure enough, he was the one Sun Quan trusted. He stood up quickly, with a firm expression, and said very hard. (To be continued.)

[Chapter 654 of the main text, the decision of Sun Ce of the Great Wu Reform]

Wu County, Taihu Lake.

Jiangdong Lecture Hall.

This is the first martial arts lecture hall established by the state of Wu, and it is also the first military academy in this era. For the state of Wu, it is of great significance.

At the beginning, many people didn't like the martial arts hall, a school for training leading generals. For experienced leading generals, the battlefield is the best school for soldiers.

Working behind closed doors, it is impossible to train a qualified leader.

However, when Lu Meng, Chen Wu, Chang Shan, Zhu Heng... These martial arts students from the martial arts school shined brilliantly in the army one by one, and climbed to the position of generals, the military teaching mode of the martial arts school such as the martial arts school began to gradually increase. into the heart of General Wu.

Moreover, many generals also discovered an unexpected situation.

In a trilogy, even if the leading generals are not very good, but if the generals of the rank of the commander of the army are all martial arts students from the martial arts hall, then the combat effectiveness of this trilogy will directly surpass that of the general trilogy.

This is a great improvement in the average level of leading generals.

Therefore, many generals in the army nowadays have a sense of scrambling for the martial arts students who graduated from the lecture hall. After all, who doesn't want their own trilogy to be more powerful than others.

There is more than one martial arts lecture hall in the country of Wu now. At present, the country of Wu has been successfully established. In addition to the Jiangdong lecture hall, there are also Jinling lecture hall and Dongzhi lecture hall.

The Dongzhi Lecture Hall was established by He Qi, who was originally in the South China Sea. It is the cradle of naval training. It has been established for more than a year. Although there are no graduates, it is now a good scale.

In addition to these three martial arts lecture halls, there are Youzhou lecture hall, Jingzhou lecture hall, and Jiaozhou lecture hall that are still in the process of being established in Wu State.

The military school model has begun to penetrate the military system, and it has also given hope to many people.

Martial arts students from a military academy have just graduated, and at most they may only be a colonel commander, but compared to ordinary big-headed soldiers, they have great advantages. It's also fast to go up.
