Shu Chen

Chapter 313

The people of Wuyue have been known for their bravery and heroism since ancient times.

Therefore, Zheng Pu has only been in Jianye for two days, and everyone knows the name "Scar Pu".

Quanxu, Zhu Yi and others who were angry because of their anger returned, when they were asked about the envoy of the Han court by the good-for-nothing, they claimed, "Scar Pushi is an arrogant person! He insulted all the ministers of Wu State for their merits and achievements. Treat everyone in Jiangdong like me as incompetent!"

How can people be filled with injustice and indignation by saying so?

If it weren't for the fact that Zhuge Jin's mansion was not accessible to ordinary people, perhaps Zheng Pu would have been humiliated by everyone.

Zhuge Rong also regretted inviting Zheng Pu into his home.

On the one hand, the envoys of the allied countries must not be neglected and must not be made to lose; on the other hand, colleagues and friends are knocking on the door for entry, which makes him in a dilemma.

Simply, he took Chen Zhi to hide in Prime Minister Gu Yong's house.

That day and the banquet were different from Zheng Pu's tense and tit-for-tat confrontation. He and Gu Tan invited Chen Zhi to avoid the banquet to talk about the past and the present, dancing and writing to the fullest of elegance and joy.When parting, Gu Tan extended an invitation, claiming that if Chen had time, he must visit Gu's house, so that he would have the opportunity to host a banquet for Runan Gaodi.

It also just gave Zhuge Rong a reason to avoid it.

Anyway, Zheng Pu wouldn't stay in Jianye for too long, he excused his visiting friends to stay outside for a few days, which was the best of both worlds.

Therefore, Chen Zhi's reputation suddenly rose in Jianye.

Many people who came to search for Zheng Pu but failed, turned back to look for Chen Zhi.

With the hard work of Zhuge Rong and Gu Tan, and the help of Chen Zhi, who is skilled in mathematics, good at dancing with long sleeves, and treats others like a spring breeze, his reputation will inevitably be spread.

It doesn't take much thinking to know that there must be some reason why Jiangdong's people deliberately spread Chen Zhi's moral character and compared Ba Pu's notoriety.

Zheng Pu didn't care about this.

He didn't care about feathers at all, and he was not interested in leaving a good reputation in Jiangdong, so he happened to spend a few days at leisure.

Yes, the date of meeting you has changed.

For some unknown reason, Sun Quan postponed the meeting with the envoy for five days.

Even Zhang Cheng, who was ordered to discuss the deal of the war horse, never came to the meeting again because Zheng Pu made the price of the war horse unambiguous and could not be changed in the slightest.

Is it outraged that I said that Jiangdong's repeated conquests have no merit?
Or is it that I am gathering my ministers to discuss and find out a reason to force me to lower the price of the war horse?

Zheng Pu, who was temporarily notified to reschedule the meeting, had such speculations in his heart, and took advantage of his innocence to deal with his own thoughts.

But soon, his mind was no longer on this aspect.

Because he couldn't go out, he entrusted his entourage and followers to buy some rare items for bringing back to Chengdu as gifts for relatives and friends.

Unexpectedly, the subordinate Qiyacuo actually brought back a letter.

It should be said to be a pair of letters.

When Qiyacuo bought a rhinoceros comb from Jiaozhou in a shop, the merchant gave a rhinoceros skin as a gift, claiming that it could be used as a comb cover.But when Zheng Pu had nothing to do to check it, he felt that the rhinoceros skin was a bit uneven in thickness, as if there were interlayers.Out of curiosity, he cut it open with a small dagger and got a small piece of cloth, on which he recorded a few numbers.

Said: "If you want to pay the state, buy it again. Shi."

It seems to be in the cloud, and I don't know what to say, but Zheng Pu can roughly guess what it means after reading it.

It is well known in the world that Jiaozhou and Shijia were joined together by the old Longduting Hou Shixie, but now Shixie's heir is only Shi Kuang.

Shi Xie, a native of Cangwu Guangxin, was the prefect of Jiaozhi.

When the world was in turmoil, he was rewarded by the court for not abolishing his tribute post. He was worshiped as General Anyuan and supervised the seven counties of Jiaozhou.

Shi Shixie and his brothers were both governors of the prefecture, and they lived thousands of miles away, so they ruled the land of one state.The wives and concubines rode in the carriages, and the children rode in the army. They went in and out and rang the bells and chimes.

In the 15th year of Jian'an, Sun Quan sent Bu Zhi to be the governor of Jiaozhou, Shi Xie surrendered and sent protons, and the yearly donations continued, and they lived together for a while.

After Shi Xie died, Sun Quan separated Guangzhou from Jiaozhou, and no longer conferred the position of governor of the Shijia County, so Xie Zihui was appointed as the prefect of Jiaozhi himself, gathering clans and private soldiers to rebel.

At that time, Lu Dai in Guangzhou was ordered to discuss him. Because of his old relationship with Shi Kuang, he sent Kuang into the city to persuade Shi Hui to plead guilty and promised to forget the past.

Shi Hui believed in it, and all six members of the clan descended from Bound Routan.

However, Lu Dai repeatedly tried to break his promise and punished Shi Hui and others, and passed on the first to Wuchang.

Sun Quan demoted the former hostages sent by Shi Xie, and all the scholars outside Jiaozhou to ordinary people, but not long after, they either died of illness or were punished for breaking the law.Among the scholars who once ruled the vast territory of Jiaozhou, only Shi Kuang survived.

With such a past, it is easy to understand that Zheng Pu was cast in a letter.

Because Shi Kuang's clan was destroyed, he wished to eat the flesh of Lu Dai and Sun Quan, and knew that revenge would be impossible with his own strength, so he pinned his hopes on the big man.

Although the Han Dynasty was allied with Wu, they had a blood feud that they dare not forget, and the land of Nanzhong bordered Jiaozhou.

Furthermore, Shi Kuang, who was demoted as a commoner, would definitely be monitored by Sun Quan, and it was impossible for him to have the opportunity to write a letter to Wei Guo.

However, Zheng Pu did not have a good impression of the Shi family.

When the first emperor Liu Bei died, Shi Xie, who was still alive, had lured Yong Kai and others to defect to Sun Quan in the southern and central counties.

He didn't know who to choose, and after his death, his clan heirs were wiped out, so what did he have to do with the big man!

Not to mention, now is the time when the great Han needs Jiangdong to disperse the troops of the Wei State in order to cultivate their health and restore the people's livelihood, so why bother to destroy the mutual alliance between the two countries for the sake of abolishing people and paying them to the state.

With a sneer, Zheng Pu took the candlelight and planned to burn the little cloth, so as not to lie and cause hidden dangers in the future, but when he got close to the candlelight, he was startled suddenly.

He suddenly realized that there was another possibility.

For example, in this matter, the people from Jiangdong whom he insulted deliberately used the name of the scholar family to lure him into the trap.

Because after the defeat, Sun Quan must be furious and detain or expel him and his party, and make a letter of credence to ask the big man for justice.

In this way, whether it is to ruin his reputation or to debase the war horse as a price, it will be a matter of course.

"call"

After blowing out the candle, Zheng Pu stuffed the letter back into the rhinoceros skin again.

After stroking his beard and pondering for a while, he summoned his subordinate Qiyacuo and asked him to explain in detail the process of purchasing rhinoceros combs and the gifts.

After knowing that the shop was huge and luxuriously decorated, and that the merchant who gave the rhinoceros skin as a gift was about forty years old, Zheng Pu confirmed his guess in his heart.

Shi Kuang, who has been reduced to a commoner, and his clan brothers and widows still rely on Sun Quanyue to give them money to survive, how can there be such a large-scale shop?
And if you plan such a confidential matter, you should personally do it yourself or entrust your blood relatives to do it for you.

But Shi Kuang is nearly sixty years old now, and there are no clans in Cangwu's family who are in their prime.

Therefore, according to the intention of the letter, Zheng Pu asked Qi Yacuo to go to the store to buy some items the next day and return. When he found that there was still a letter, he called the guards of the mansion, claiming that there was an urgent matter, and let him Quickly invite Zhuge Rong back.

But Zhuge Rong came back for a while, and rode his horse to Wu Palace alone, begging to see Sun Quan.

If you have to be called in, you don't have to say a big gift to pay homage, and you are panic-stricken.

"Your Majesty, a powerful family in Jianye will rebel!"
