Chapter 751 Jin Wu
In the Eastern Wu Dynasty Hall, the envoys of the Jin Kingdom were no longer as arrogant as before, but instead seemed to be bowing their knees.

"The general trend of the world is three-legged, the west is strong and the east is weak. Jin and Wu join forces to fight against Qin. Your Majesty, Da Sima, and Prime Minister miss him." Jin Sanqi's regular attendant He Zeng cupped his hands and said.

This year is destined to be the coldest winter for Sima Yan.

Wu Emperor Sun Jin sat on the throne, he didn't seem to know what happened in the world, his eyes were a little dull.

Lu Kai and Zhong Hui sat on the left and right sides of the throne.

The forces under the two have been able to fight against each other.

Lu Kai's subordinates are naturally powerful gentry.

And Zhong Hui's subordinates are the poor and common people, as well as the newly promoted generals in the army.

In the past two years, Wu Guo was able to maintain the stability of the court because both sides were forbearing.

The nobles were afraid of the knife in Zhong Hui's hand, and Zhong Hui was also afraid of Lu Kang who was guarding Jingzhou.

Fearing each other, it made Wu Guo settle down instead.

However, those who can sit on top of the court are all smart people, and naturally know that this confrontation will not continue for a long time.

One mountain cannot tolerate two tigers.

The tyrants of the gentry can accept the existence of Zhong Hui, but the premise is that Zhong Hui must be obedient, like Ding Feng, and can be controlled.

But Zhong Hui is obviously not the easy-going generation.

Once the power in his hands is strong enough, it will be the time for the showdown between the two sides.

Lu Kai cupped his hands to Emperor Sun Jin and said, "The old minister agrees with the alliance with Jin. The people of Qin are ambitious. If they take the Central Plains, they will definitely follow Jiangdong. We must take this as a warning."

He agreed, and the crowd immediately echoed in the hall.

The stone in He Shao's heart has not fallen. Wu Jin has formed an alliance many times, but there is no binding force at all.

If it weren't for the precarious situation in the Central Plains, Jin would never put down its face and form an alliance with Wu.

In the worst case, the country of Wu cannot be made an enemy.

If the State of Wu launches the Battle of Shouchun or the Battle of Xiangyang at this time, it will be a fatal blow to the State of Jin!
Emperor Sun Jin looked at Zhong Hui, "What does the prime minister think?"

Obviously, Sun Jin and Zhong will be closer.

Although Lu Kai is the chief minister, he has a lot of things to do every day, and he seldom spares time to get along with the emperor. As time goes by, his relationship with Sun Jin gradually becomes estranged.

This is not the case in the final meeting, no matter how busy you are, you should spend at least one hour a day with the emperor.

"I believe that the alliance should be sincere. The state of Jin first took away the late emperor and killed our soldiers, causing funerals for families in Jiangdong. If we form an alliance easily, why should we treat the soldiers and the people?" Zhong Hui said respectfully.

As soon as this remark came out, another wave of people in the court immediately echoed.

"The people of Jin invaded me every year, how could they form an alliance easily?"

"The first emperor is still detained in Luoyang, this is a great shame and shame to the country!"

The divergent opinions obviously overwhelmed the voices in favor of forming an alliance just now.

Lu Kai looked at the emperor, then at Zhong Hui, his brows were tightly frowned, this was not a good omen.

Wu Guo was able to maintain the current separatist regime. In fact, more than half of the reasons were Lu Kai and the Lu family.

Lu Kai made a match between the two sides, so that the gentry tycoons and Zhong Hui could maintain the harmony on the surface.

However, Lu Kai is already 67 this year, and his health is not very good.

Especially this winter, I have been ill for a long time.

Today, the Jin Kingdom formed an alliance, so they had to come to the court meeting with their sick bodies.

He Shaodao: "At this time and at that time, Jin and Wu are each other's lips and teeth, and the alliance between the two will make the three kingdoms stand together. If the two families continue to quarrel, they will be destroyed by the tyranny of the Qin Dynasty. I thought that all the outstanding people in Jiangdong were short-sighted. .”

"Bold!" Zhou Chu, Ding Wen and other Wu generals were furious.

They were originally not qualified to go to court, all because of Zhonghui's promotion.

Zhong Hui waved his hand, "It seems that your Excellency didn't hear clearly, what a certain person said is that there should be sincerity in forming an alliance, and empty teeth, how can you say that forming an alliance is an alliance?"

He Shao stared at Zhong Hui, "Then what kind of sincerity does your country want?"

Zhong Hui glanced at Lu Kai and Yu Fan, Zhu Xuan, Gu Mu and others under his command, "If it is returned to the late emperor, it will show sincerity!"

Yu Fan, Zhu Xuan, and Gu Mu looked at Lu Kai together as if they had been bitten by a snake.

Will Sun Hao still have their good fruit to eat when he comes back?
Sun Hao is a tyrant, not a fool, so of course he knows who is behind his back.

There was a smile on the corner of Zhong Hui's mouth.

There was also contempt in He Shao's eyes, and Zhong Hui tested the bottom line of these people with a single sentence.

Don't even think about it, even if Sun Hao comes back, what can he do?
Jianye's military power is in the hands of Zhong Hui, and he is just a big puppet when he comes back.

Of course, with Sun Hao's character, he would definitely talk nonsense when he came back, and there would be no room for the Jiangdong nobles to save their face.

Zhong Hui is taking advantage of the power of Jin to suppress them.

"Since the prime minister has made such a request, our country has nothing to do with it." He Shao added to the fire.

It would be a good deal if one Sun Hao could exchange two alliances.

Yu Fan and Gu Mu's faces sank, and they looked at Lu Kai.

Lu Kai coughed twice violently, "The prime minister has far-reaching wisdom, and the matter of forming an alliance can be decided by the prime minister."

Zhong Hui seized the weakness of the gentry and took over the power easily. If you, Lu Kai, intervene, I, Zhong Hui, will create momentum and welcome back the late emperor.

Fortunately, everyone is a thousand-year-old tortoise and a million-year-old bastard, and knows how to play the game of thrones.

Zhong Hui stretched out two fingers, "Returning the late emperor is only one of them, Shouchun and Xiangyang are indispensable!"

What a big appetite!
He Shao couldn't help frowning.

Today's Jin State is different from the past. It has lost the whole territory of Bingzhou, Jingbei, Hongnong and Hanoi, and its territory is getting smaller and smaller.

Zhong Hui opened his mouth wide, opening his mouth to want Huainan and Jingzhou!
But can the Jin State not give it now?

"Your country doesn't need to give it, we can take it ourselves." Zhong Hui's eyes were shining.

He Shao's face was gloomy, but he didn't refuse, "I can't decide this matter, I should report it to Your Majesty."

"Of course, your Excellency can go back to Luoyang to have a good discussion, and I will wait for the good news." Zhong Hui waved his sleeves, looking very chic. He was already handsome, and the older he was, the more refined his temperament was. Everything sets off him, like standing out from the crowd.

Zhou Chu, Shen Ying, Ding Wen and others had admiration in their eyes.

Even Yu Fan, Zhu Xuan, and Gu Mu were completely suppressed by Zhong Hui's momentum.

The biggest advantage of Zhonghui is that while fighting for power and profit, he is also thinking about the country of Wu.

It is clear at a glance which is higher and which is lower.

Zhonghui's prestige in the world is already high. In addition to the power in the court, there are also many loyal supporters among the people.

If he was duckweed in the water before, he is now a towering tree.

A towering tree that makes Jiangdong nobles look up to.

Yu Fan, Zhu Xuan, Gu Mu and the others exchanged glances with each other, hatred gradually welling up on their faces.

Zhong Hui was obviously playing by stepping on them, and didn't give any face to Jiangdong's four surnames.

He Shao cupped his hands, "Since this is the case, the foreign minister will resign and immediately return to Luoyang for discussion."

It's okay for others to say, but Zhong Hui is too difficult to deal with, and He Shao also knows that he is not his opponent, so he can only go back and ask for instructions.

"Your envoy, please go ahead, but I, Jiangdong soldiers, will not wait too long!" Zhong Hui said with a smile.
