Perhaps when every dynasty is about to fall, some people will always be alarmed and shout loudly to warn, for example, shouting, "The big man is almost over! It's over!"

But even if everyone hears this voice, they will still do different things.

Then in various dynasties, various people would shout when they sensed danger, but still no one listened.

Maybe it’s because he cries wolf too many times, and it attracts a lot of ridicule.

Look at that idiot!

Sun Jian died halfway, and Sun Ce died before he could rise. It may be a coincidence to some extent, but for the Shandong gentry and the literati in Jiangdong who admired Chen Wei very much, this may mean that

A kind of meaning——

The Sun family doesn’t have that kind of destiny!

In fact, from the perspective of a bystander, the things that Jiang Dong was arguing with each other were not a big deal, more like a farce. However, in the eyes of the people involved at the time, these things couldn't be more correct.

Something happened.

Is this "party struggle" atmosphere in Jiangdong entirely caused by the Sun family?

Obviously not.

In the early days of the Han Dynasty, Liu Bang had insufficient knowledge and did not understand how to govern the country. Even though he understood people's human nature, he could not rely on him to keep an eye on the rules and regulations every day, so he was inevitably reduced to a peach in the hands of the gentry's children.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty wanted to solve this problem, but he didn't think about how to solve it, so Dong Zhongshu gave him a walking stick. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty immediately felt that walking on three legs would be stable, but he did not expect that walking on three legs would be stable.

He was stable, but he could never run again, and he even forgot how to walk with his legs.

During the period of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, he also wanted to curb the growing number of local aristocratic families, but the party ban only stimulated greater party strife. What some later keyboard warriors called a smart strategy of pulling one faction to fight another actually did not have an advanced program.

It is nothing more than idiotic dreams. Just like the later generations of the Fruit Party also shouted the heroic slogan "One hundred thousand youths, one hundred thousand blood", there are also a small number of people who are worried about governing the country cleanly, but they cannot break away from the shackles of class, so they can't escape the shackles of class.

Can't get up.

Fights in Jiangdong are usually limited to lip service.

But occasionally there is blood.

When literati quarrel, they basically just do it if they don't agree with it, and it can still lead to death.

The general method is to first occupy the moral high ground, think of yourself as a gentleman, and position your opponent as a villain. Regardless of whether there is evidence of crime or not, first say that the opponent has bad intentions. This kind of heart-breaking argument makes people speechless. Literary people are acting like hooligans.

That is to use the most high-sounding reasons to do the most despicable things, just like some experts said that air pollution is caused by bicycles, and said that farmers can buy houses in the city and drive back to the countryside to farm...

The key point is that these literati families, similar to those of later generations, still more or less hold the power of the country and influence the allocation of the country's resources, so they are very harmful.

So, this kind of literati race that cannot be killed and eliminated in future generations, can they be eliminated completely in the Jiangdong area of ​​the Han Dynasty?

Therefore, it is not surprising at all that Sun Quan has such an extremely contradictory attitude towards Zhou Yu. Sun Quan's extreme lack of security caused him to suspect that everyone was out to harm him, which also made Sun Quan cling to the power in his hands.

He doesn't want to let go because this is his last straw.

Sun Quan and Liu Bei are completely different.

Liu Bei had a rough life. He only gained power when he was old, and he was able to take and let go of power. But after Sun Quan died, would he leave power to his own children or his brother's posthumous son?

Obviously, Sun Quan couldn't let it go. Even though Sun Quan inherited his power from his elder brother, he still believed that this power was his own, and he must leave it to his children, and he regarded this as a rule.

If Sun Quan had not been helpless and desperate, he would not have dared to delegate power to Zhou Yu.

Because he was afraid, he was afraid that what Sun Ce said before would really become a reality.

He is afraid of losing power and everything. Although he will say that it is for the Sun family's inheritance, in fact, he knows in his heart that it is only for himself!

When Sun Ce fought against Jiangdong in the early years, it was undoubtedly a clever move.

But soon, Sun Ce made a stupid move.

In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, it is said that Sun Ce exchanged Yuan Shu's troops for Yuan Shu's troops with the Imperial Seal, but in fact the reason why Yuan Shu agreed to Sun Ce going to Jiangdong was because Sun Ce said that his father had been kind to the Jiangdong nobles before, and he could easily capture Jiangdong for Yuan Shu.

, and it didn’t require much investment from Yuan Shu, so Yuan Shu returned Sun Ce’s troops to him without giving him any additional troops.

So from this perspective, conquering Jiangdong was the highlight of Sun Ce's life.

But Sun Ce is too realistic...

Perhaps in later generations, being more realistic would be a good thing, and could even become a praised merit. Unfortunately, in the Han Dynasty, what is valued is loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness.

Therefore, in the eyes of the literati in Jiangdong, Sun Quan's father killed the prefect for no reason, and his brother killed the nobles for no reason. Now the Sun family's weak son says he wants to be honest and truthful, good, and beautiful. Who believes it?

Perhaps when Sun Ce was dying, he also knew that what was left to Sun Quan was a mess, so Sun Ce once said to Zhang Zhao, "If Zhongmou doesn't do anything, you will take it from yourself!"

In fact, it is similar to what Liu Bei said in Baidi City. The reason why Mr. Luo deleted Sun Ce's words was to make this sentence the copyright of Liu Bei, otherwise it would not have the shocking effect of Tuogu in Baidi City.

On this basis, it is very easy to understand Sun Quan's ambivalence towards Zhou Yu.

The same is true for Sun Quan and Zhang Zhao.

He both trusted Zhou Yu and was wary of him.

We are not wary of Zhou Yu as a person, but of all the military forces represented by Zhou Yu.

Sun Quan knew very well that if these military generals were allowed to expand in strength, they might still be able to control Zhou Yu now that he was alive, but what if Zhou Yu died? At that time, the arrogant generals with excessive military power would gather together and elect Zhou Yu.

If the child comes to power, will Sun Quan have to step down obediently?

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! If such a situation really occurs, what will Sun Quan do to fight against the military?

Take the Tianling Cap?

Even if Zhou Yu is indeed trustworthy and will not betray the Sun family, what about Zhou Yu's brothers, children, and relatives? Sun Quan is scared. He feels that the word "Zhou Yu" is not just one person, but a large group of people!

Both Sun Ce and Liu Bei have the courage to tell the world that if their heir fails to live up to expectations, then "you will take it yourself!"

But Sun Quan didn't have the guts. He only dared to shout, "Touch your conscience!"

In fact, Sun Quan still has a chance to regain the confidence of the Jiangdong nobles even now.

Is it just...

…

…

Zhou Yu was touching his chest right now.

It’s not really a matter of conscience, but his condition has been recurring for a long time.

As the saying goes, men are afraid of coughing and women are afraid of diarrhea.

In order to cure his illness, Zhou Yu also took a golden elixir. Although it stimulated his body's potential for a while, it actually drained his vitality. Once the effects of the medicine wore off, it became more serious.

Taking medicine randomly can really kill you!

At this moment, in the study room in the inner courtyard of the mansion, Zhou Yu was sitting opposite Lu Su, who had hurriedly arrived. Both of them looked ugly.

Zhou Yu was ugly and sick, while Lu Su was ugly and anxious.

The decoration expenses in the Zhou family's study are naturally among the best in Jiangdong. Whether it is hanging on the wall, placed on the desk, or the most inconspicuous dust collector in the corner, they are all exquisitely carved.

Carve carefully.

But at this moment, the two of them turned a blind eye to these artifacts, leaving only sadness and sadness in their eyes.

"Jiangdong..." I don't know how long it took before Lu Su let out a long sigh, "How could these people do this! How could they do this!"

Even Sun Quan knew what Zhu Zhi was doing, how could Zhou Yu and Lu Su not understand?

Zhu Zhi was protecting himself and the Zhu family's status.

But in order to protect himself, what Zhu Zhi is doing now is tantamount to selling Jiangdong.

He gave up Jiangdong's future just to make the Zhu family live a better life.

Speaking of which, of course there is something wrong with Jiangdong's system.

This is also a problem left over from the previous generation of the Sun family.

Because Sun Jian didn't understand politics, Sun Ce didn't understand either. It wasn't until his head was badly bruised that he finally managed to turn around, but it was already hard to come back.

Zhou Yu is also aware of the flaws in Jiangdong's system, so he has been trying to reduce the influence of the older generation as much as possible, including himself.

There is nothing wrong with everyone being selfish, but if you use the saying that everyone is selfish as a shield to do sneaky things, then whose problem is it?

Whether Zhou Yu had selfish motives or not, he did.

But Zhou Yu at least did not put his own selfishness above the Sun family's foundation.

Lu Su also had selfish motives, but at the same time, he would not abandon public service for selfish reasons, so Zhou Yu and Lu Su could chat and get along well.

But the problem is that Zhou Yu and Lu Su met their lord Sun Quan who also had selfish motives.

"I'll go find my lord..." Zhou Yu coughed twice and said softly.

His body is actually very weak, and he cannot even speak louder, otherwise it will easily cause severe coughing.

According to this situation, if Sun Quan had any difficult questions, he should come to his door to "ask for advice", but now it was Zhou Yu who had to take the initiative to come to his door to "ask for advice".

"Gong Jin! Your body... you can rest here in peace! I'll go first!" Lu Su stood up and walked out without saying a word, "Here comes someone! Prepare your horse!"

Zhou Yu stretched out his hand to call out, but was left coughing. When the coughing was over, Lu Su also left, and he could only close his eyes and sigh.

Sigh faintly.
