The Three Kingdoms

There are beauties here, there are poetic and picturesque feelings here, and there are graceful piano sounds here...

A large painting boat is far away from the more noisy river, docked on a very quiet river, a little quiet, there is no beautiful voice in the painting boat, no melodious piano sound.

Sun Quan, the current King of Wu, dressed in a brocade robe, sat in the top wing of the painting boat. Sitting opposite him was Cheng Pu, Huang Gai on the left, and Han Dang on the right.

"Uncles, Zhongmou respects you!" Sun Quan raised the tripod cup with both hands and looked at the three of them with a smile.

"Your Majesty is too polite!"

When the three of them heard this, they were obviously a little embarrassed. They watched Sun Quan drink up the wine in the glass first, and then drank the strong wine in the glass one by one.

In fact, they all knew that it might not be a good banquet for Sun Quan to invite them, but they had to come.

"Three uncles, Zhongmou has been a little busy during this period, and he didn't have a good chat with these uncles. Today, Zhongmou had a whim, so he posted a post to several uncles. Zhongmou didn't receive you in Wangcheng. In the end, so I chose to entertain you at the Qinhuai River, just because I don’t want my uncles to be restrained, here, you can forget that Zhongmou is the King of Wu!”

Sun Quan said with a smile.

"Your Majesty is your Majesty, how can you break the rules!" Cheng Pu raised his head, stared at Sun Quan with meaningful eyes, and said pointedly.

"Uncle said so. I look down on Zhongmou!"

Sun Quan narrowed his eyes slightly, his green eyes met Cheng Pu's.

After a while, he shook his head and said calmly: "You uncles actually watched Zhongmou grow up, watched Zhongmou go to the battlefield, and watched Zhongmou get to this point day by day. You are not only The ministers of the state of Wu are also Zhongmou's elders, today there are no rulers and ministers, only uncles and nephews."

"Does Your Majesty really want to entertain us tonight?"

Han Dang suddenly said in a cold voice.

"Is Zhongmou not sincere enough now?" Sun Quan asked back.

The three of them were speechless when they heard the words.

There was no one else in the whole painting boat, only the four of them. He stood up, poured himself a glass, and held up the wine glass.With a somewhat relaxed pace, he walked past several people.

"Don't think too much, Zhongmou invited the three uncles here, just to talk about his heart!"

As he walked, he asked in a relaxed tone after drinking, "I don't know how many uncles remember Zhongmou's first battle?"

Hearing this, the three of Cheng Pu were taken aback for a moment, and then looked at each other.His expression couldn't help but relax, and he couldn't help showing a smile.

Sun Quan was on the battlefield for the first time.They witnessed it with their own eyes, and they couldn't forget the scene even if they wanted to.

"I still remember that battle. At the pass of Sishui, the former king led his troops to fight fiercely with the Xiliang army. Zhongmou was still young at that time, and it was the first time he went to the battlefield. The first time he saw the cruel battlefield, he was very uncomfortable. Facing a mountain of corpses with severed arms, dripping with blood, you hugged a tree. You vomited non-stop!"

There was a flash of nostalgia in Han Dang's eyes. There was no Wu country in the past, and they hadn't come to this point. He couldn't help murmuring: "The former king was very dissatisfied with you!"

Huang Gai forced himself to drink a few glasses of spirits, and he let go of his temper a little. He stood up, followed Han Dang's words, and said directly: "We thought Zhongmou was too timid and too useless, but Who knows, in the end it was Zhongmou who became the king!"

"I know, you are most satisfied with Sun Bofu!"

Sun Quan looked at the two of them, smiled slightly, and said calmly: "In your opinion, it is really lucky to sit alone in the position of King Wu!"

The four brothers Sun Jian left behind, except for Zu Mao, didn't think about him.

In their hearts, Sun Bofu is more important. After all, they marched and fought, and Sun Bofu's bravery and combat skills were their most ideal successors.

"Zhongmou, you and Bofu grew up in a certain family, no one is more important than the other!"

Cheng Pu narrowed his eyes, and said calmly: "You won the battle of Xuanwumen, and you are the king. This is something that no one in the entire Wu Kingdom can deny!"

"Then why are you still against me!"

Hearing this, Sun Quan looked at the three of them coldly, and asked sternly, "The reform is about to fail. I know very well that it was you who pushed me to this point. , besides you, there are not many people left!"

"Since Zhongmou knows it, why bother to ask!"

The three of them were silent when they heard the words, and finally Cheng Pu raised his head, glanced at Sun Quan indifferently, and said: "I am not against you, but against the reform. Before, I agreed because I thought that you are right and you can give it a try. But the facts have proved that the state of Wu is not suitable for the new law, so I must oppose it!"

"Uncle Cheng's reason, Zhong Mou can accept it, but what about the two uncles' reasons?"

When Sun Quan heard Cheng Pu's words, his expression was very calm. He leaned against the window of the wing room, gently shook the wine in his hand, looked at Han Dang and Huang Gai, and asked sharply: " You are unwilling to withdraw from the Wu Kingdom Chaotang, so you want to make a final struggle, right?"

After the change of Xuanwumen, he was already thinking about taking down Han Dang and Huang Gai. The army is in their hands.

And the reason why he has not mobilized the Western Army and the Southern Army is because he wants to wait until Jinling City is stabilized, and then automatically persuade them to leave.

The two of them actually knew Sun Quan's thoughts very well.

Before, they were somewhat resigned to their fate, but with the emergence of the reform, the two of them seemed to see the opportunity, and they were obviously unwilling to retire here, so they forcibly intervened in the matter of the reform.

"Zhongmou, since you said today, you are on this boat. There is no distinction between monarch and minister, so even if you are an uncle, you will rely on the old to sell the old, and tell the truth!"

"Say!"

Huang Gai raised his cup and cupped his hands, with a sharp expression on his face: "Actually, we haven't done too much research on the reform you proposed, let alone objecting to it. The reason why we stand up against it is because we still want to Taking advantage of this opportunity to stay on the great rivers and mountains of Wu State, we want my brother to watch us open up territories for Wu State and fight for Wu State to rule the world!"

"Uncle Huang, you helped Sun Ce in the battle of Xuanwumen, and Sun Ce was defeated in the end. Now you have to protect yourself. I understand!"

Sun Quan took a sip of his wine, looked at Huang Gai, and said calmly, "But understanding doesn't mean agreeing. Since you have made your choice, sometimes you have to accept your fate!"

"What about a certain house?"

Han Dang narrowed his eyes slightly: "Zhongmou, I chose you. You should be more ruthless when you cross the river and tear down the bridge!"

"Uncle Han. You are the same, you never chose me!"

Sun Quan smiled lightly.He said: "During the Xuanwu Gate, you were forced to do nothing. Now, if you want to keep the Western Army, it is because you are loyal to me, or because you are for the future of the Han family. In fact, you know it well!"

When Han Dang heard the words, his expression was a little sullen.

It seems that Sun Quan is not going to give you old guys any face at all tonight.

"Let me tell you two honestly!" Sun Quan smiled, but his words were as cold as a blade: "No matter how much you toss about the emperor and the courtiers, the outcome will not change. This Jinling City, I must [-]% Controlling, there is no tolerance for any change, whether it is the Western Army or the Southern Army, it will be a matter of time before you hand it over!"

"Zhongmou, is there no room for negotiation?"

Huang Gai's complexion was livid.

"no!"

Sun Quan's attitude was very firm: "You can say that I am cold-hearted, or you can say that I am ungrateful, but this matter cannot be changed. Even if you stand up this time and knock down my reform, you will not have anything to do with this matter. change."

"Zhongmou, can you tell us why we are here tonight?"

Cheng Pu looked at Sun Quan and said coldly, "You don't really want to have a heart-to-heart talk with us old fellows, do you?"

"I want you to stop!"
