Chapter 401 The way to the prosperity of Wu State!

"Li'er didn't do anything wrong. Your Majesty punishes him like this. Doesn't it chill his heart?"

When they arrived at the main hall of the Prince's Mansion and there was no one around, Trainer Bu stepped forward and said with a worried look on his face.

"I have been knighted and then deprived of my title. Lu'er is only ten years old. Just in case."

Sun Quan's expression was calm, even with a slight chill on his face.

"Nothing is but, it's better to lose your heart than to lose your life. If I continue to indulge, won't the two of us have to fight each other? Do you think that Lu'er is the prince's opponent?"

Sun Lu was able to be promoted by him as the crown prince's backup, naturally because of Sun Lu's cleverness.

But compared with Sun Deng's intelligence, Sun Lu's intelligence was completely inadequate.

Moreover, as Sun Deng was the eldest son and had been in business for many years, even though the prince Sun Deng was in coma for half a year, the forces surrounding him were not something that Sun Lu could replace in a few months.

Sun Lu couldn't compete with Sun Deng.

If he was given a chance to fight, he might not even be able to save his life.

Moreover, now is a time of great strife, surrounded by powerful enemies, and Wu needs internal stability.

Sitting back and watching the two sons fight, isn't this putting Wu State in danger?

In addition, Sun Deng's existence can alleviate a lot of resistance for him.

The aristocratic family didn't listen to him, but sometimes they listened to the prince's words.

In other words, the existence of Prince Sun Deng can become a bridge between Sun Quan, the King of Wu, and the Jiangdong nobles.

With this bridge and this lubricant, the governance of Wu State and the promulgation and implementation of Sun Quan's decrees will become smoother.

"As for the ministers in the Prince's Mansion, just leave them to the Prince. I believe that during the six months he was in coma, the Prince could better understand the hearts of these so-called aristocratic families and the hearts of the so-called loyal ministers of the prince."

People!

There's nothing wrong with going through some setbacks.

Frustration can train people.

After this coma experience, the prince will surely grow a lot.

Outside the Prince's Mansion.

Sun Lu, the Marquis of Jianchang, was walking under the chariot of the Marquis of Jianchang.

It is said to be a marquis's chariot, but its configuration is no different from that of a prince.

This car was given to him by his father Sun Quan.

Giving him the title of Marquis and giving the crown prince a guard of honor, isn't this a hint that he will become the prince, what else could it be?

Ha ha.

Sun Lu turned to look behind him. The ministers who had followed him, those who originally belonged to the Prince's Mansion, were now missing again.

When he gained power, countless people gathered around him. Now that he lost power, he immediately became disliked.

This is the human heart, is this reality?

woohoo~

The winter wind was very noisy and chilled Sun Lu's heart.

but.

Do you want him to give up his position as Prince of Wu?

This is impossible!

Sun Quan wanted to save Sun Lu's life, but he didn't know that some people were not willing to fight or rob him.

This is true even if the result of failure is death.

No one wants to feel inferior to others.

This became even more so after Chen Sheng called out that the prince and general Xiang Ning had the guts.

Am I, Sun Lu, worse than my brother, Sun Deng?

Do not!

Definitely not bad.

He is just a few years older than me.

If he were my brother's age, I would have a brother who is valued by my father.

I won't be worse than him!

Even now, Sun Lu still feels angry in his heart.

He wants to prove himself!

The next day.

When Sun Deng woke up, Sun Quan came over in a hurry after hearing the news.

"I'm sorry that I am weak and cannot see you all week."

Sun Deng pushed away the maid who was giving him the medicine, and struggled a few times to salute Sun Quan, but he couldn't, so he had to look at Sun Quan with an apologetic look.

"The prince has just recovered from a serious illness, so there is no need to adhere to these false etiquette."

Sun Quan stepped forward, took the medicine bowl from the maid, and personally gave Sun Deng the medicine.

After drinking the medicine one mouthful at a time, Sun Deng was so moved that he shed tears.

"In the past six months, I thought you would never wake up, so I granted you the title of title and prepared to replace you with you. Do you have any resentment in your heart?"

Submissiveness and hidden explanations, Sun Quan now does not need to use these at all when talking to his son.

Moreover.

Nowadays, being honest with each other may be the best way to eliminate misunderstandings.

"My son is in a coma, and the country and the country are in turmoil. The king granted me a title to care for my younger brother. It is for the sake of the country and the country. How can I feel resentful? As for my son, he is just a child. He just goes with the flow. How can I blame him?"

Sun Quan was honest with Sun Deng, and Sun Deng was naturally honest with Sun Quan.

As a son, Sun Deng knew the meaning of Sun Quan's words.

Worry about Sun Li.

Now Sun Deng's words are naturally to dispel Sun Deng's doubts.

After feeding him a bowl of medicinal soup, Sun Quan got the answer he wanted, and he felt very happy.

"The prince has been in coma for half a year. Does he have any physical discomfort?"

Sun Quan is now here to confirm whether there is nothing wrong with Sun Deng.

If there is a hidden illness, Sun Quan himself would have to rethink the choice of crown prince even if he didn't want to.

"Apart from general weakness, I don't have any other discomfort. I think it's because of the poor blood circulation caused by sleeping for a long time, which has caused the muscles to weaken a little. I heard from the doctor that within ten days, I can walk normally."

This was also the answer he got from the doctor.

"My son's health will be fine."

Sun Deng just responded with a smile, but in his heart, he was already a little panicked.

As for why you are afraid

His body was not as relaxed as he said.

Basically, he vomits blood every day and has loss of appetite.

It seems that the side effects of that powerful medicine are not just as simple as shortening your life by ten years.

Sun Deng's heart was shrouded in haze.

"The current situation in the world and the difficulties faced by Wu State today, has the prince understood it?"

Sun Deng nodded lightly and said: "When my minister Fang woke up yesterday, Lieutenant Zuo Fu carefully explained the situation of the Three Kingdoms and the dilemma that I, Da Wu, are facing now."

This Captain Zuo Fu was naturally Zhuge Ke.

Sun Quan nodded.

This Zhuge Ke is indeed wise, but he is too courageous and does things regardless of the consequences. He cannot be used without some hard work.

And after beating him, he may not be able to become the crown prince's future minister.

"Now that the world is divided into three parts, our Kingdom of Wu is exhausted and is the weakest among the three kingdoms. We are so weak that we were bullied by the Han envoys to the court, but we did not dare to refute, alas~" Sun Quan sighed at the side

Sun Deng said on the side: "As for the Han Dynasty and that Liu Gongsi, we must not be afraid of him."

"What the prince means is that we, Da Wu, are preparing for a war with Han?"

Is the prince also a militant?

Sun Deng shook his head, nodded again, and said: "I, Wu, are preparing for a war with Han and even Wei every day. In a time of great struggle, isn't it just for hegemony, security, and self-preservation? Even if my father doesn’t think about war, we, Wu, will have a war with Han and Wei sooner or later!”

In the long run, it does.

The world is divided into three parts, and everyone wants to be the one who dominates the world.

Whether he likes it or not, war is inevitable.

"Now the Han Dynasty is aggressive. Why?"

Without waiting for Sun Quan to speak, Sun Deng continued: "Because Wu, the great Wu, is weak, the people are tired, and the soldiers are not strong, so I am despised." Listening to his son talk, Sun Quan felt an inexplicable sense of pride.

Look.

This is the seed of my Sun Zhongmou!

Not much worse than your Liu Xuande son.

"The Wei State implemented the Law of Nine-Rank Officials, which resulted in the support of aristocratic families and a stable political situation. In addition, the Wei State lived in the Central Plains and had a large number of people. After the political situation was stabilized, the country's strength increased at a rate that no one could match. I heard that it practiced water training in Xuanwu Pond. The army is training one hundred thousand armored soldiers in Luoyang, and the intention of raising troops to fight is already known without saying it. Even Zang Ba of Xuzhou, under his pressure, also has the intention of negotiating peace with me, Wu."

"The government of the Han Dynasty is well-connected with people. There is no doubt that the Han Emperor Liu Xuande and the Crown Prince Liu Gongsi are the two. The Han Emperor is in charge of the internal affairs and the Crown Prince is in charge of the external affairs. I heard that Jingzhou, Yizhou, and even the barbarian lands have many places for farming. The Han Crown Prince conquered the Ba area. , and even more than 100,000 people were gained, and the national power improved no slower than that of Wei."

"As for me, Jiangdong, originally lived in a desolate land, the people were withered, and there were many swordsmen, which depleted the national power. Now there is even more turmoil between the government and the public, and there is a gap between the monarch and the ministers. When the strength of Wei and Han is increasing, the national strength of Wu is on the contrary. Backsliding, one ebbs and the other grows, this is the reason why the Han envoys dare to be so rampant. A weak country has no diplomatic relations, and its dignity must be fought."

Sun Deng's long speech made Sun Quan very satisfied.

"It's just that the situation is like this. How can I, Da Wu, change the weak situation? Now facing the aggressive trend of the Han State, how should we break it?"

Sun Deng said: "Now that the power of Soochow is too weak to be the enemy of Han and Wei, we should improve our strength. In the future, we can agree to Han's request and open a business alliance to challenge the strength of Wu. Recovery still has a certain effect.”

Main peace?

Sun Quan frowned and asked again: "How to improve national power?"

cough cough.

Sun Deng coughed twice and continued: "To improve national power, the first thing is to understand the government and people. I heard that there is a rift between the emperor and the ministers in the court. You should first make the emperor and ministers work together, then you can achieve great things, and then reward farming and war, accumulate strength, and then choose people who are good at it. Those who train troops can train elite infantry, and they can even buy horses from Wei to form a cavalry army!"

"The cavalry army is controlled by the Wei State. Even the Han State does not have many war horses. Can the Wei State become an enemy?"

"Of course Wei will not succumb to its enemies, but if Jiangdong smuggles them at a high price, we may not be able to buy war horses."

smuggling?

Sun Quan was stunned.

"My Jiangdong boat can ride the wind and waves. If I can ride the wind and waves and cross the sea to the land of Youyan, is it possible to buy a horse with a lot of money?"

Wealth comes from danger. If the Kingdom of Wu gives him a lot of money, there will still be many people willing to sell horses.

Moreover.

In Youzhou now, the Gongsun family is still a powerful force. They are not afraid of Wei. It seems that it is not difficult to buy war horses.

“This is a great idea and great advice!”

Wu Guo couldn't fight on land, wasn't it because he didn't have war horses?

If there is a well-organized cavalry, it might be possible to fight against Wei and Han!

He had long been annoyed to death by the combat effectiveness of Wu's infantry.

If Wu can build a strong army, that will be his time to feel proud.

"If we, the State of Wu, want to be peaceful among the Three Kingdoms for a long time, we can't wage war. In the battle of Guangling, my father may agree to negotiate peace with Zang Ba. As for the demands of Han and Wei, as long as they are not excessive, we can agree first. We must pretend to be non-threatening, so that Han and Wei dare to have a war, and when Han and Wei are at war together, it is the time for Wu to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, and the fishermen will benefit."

Sun Deng's eyes were blazing, and he continued: "When the Han and Wei countries are fighting, our country of Wu is becoming more and more powerful. If both sides suffer, there may not be no chance!"

Pretend to be dead first and show weakness.

Just like Gou Jian, who was lying on the firewood and tasting his courage, he secretly accumulated strength.

At the critical moment, avenge the past humiliation.

For the current Wu State, perhaps this is the only way to go.

"What the prince said is absolutely true."

Sun Deng looked at Sun Quan and said: "Gou Jian lay on his back and tasted courage. He endured hardships that ordinary people could not bear. In order to avenge his shame, Gou Jian tasted the excrement of the King of Wu, just to win the trust of his husband. He sent the beautiful Xi Shi into the palace just to eliminate his ambitions. If we, Da Wu, are to succeed in our defense against Yue, we need to be as good as Gou Jian."

Eat shit?

Sun Quan looked troubled.

Although he is shameless, he is not shameless to this extent. Besides, the country of Yue has been destroyed, and even you, Gou Jian, have been arrested, so you have to go to this level of flattery.

I, the Great Wu Shang, only need to show weakness, so there is no need to do this?

Sun Deng saw that Sun Quan had a troubled look on his face, and knew that he was wrong, and immediately said: "My son said that Gou Jian tasted King Wu's excrement, not to let the king imitate him, but to make an analogy. I, Wu, need to let the two kingdoms of Han and Wei ,To reassure."

"Cough cough."

Hearing this, Sun Quan's face looked better.

"Then according to the prince, what should I, Da Wu, do?"

Sun Deng immediately said: "As long as the Han Dynasty's request does not harm the foundation, I will agree to it. Hasn't Xiaohu already entered the harem of Liu Gonghe? There are also Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao. No matter what they say, they are still from our Wu Kingdom. , origin cannot be changed. If we can get in touch with them and let them whisper in the ears of the Han prince Liu Chan, coupled with the respect of our country of Wu, we will be able to dispel their doubts and strengthen our strength and buy time for Wu. .”

Xiaohu?

And Er Qiao?

snort!

Sun Quan snorted coldly, neither Xiaohu nor Daqiao could satisfy him.

One is the water thrown away by the married daughter.

The other two are even more bitches!

But for today's plan, that's all it can do.

"It's just that Xiaohu, Daqiao, and Xiaoqiao may not speak for us." Sun Quan showed hesitation on his face.

The relationship between Xiaohu and him almost dropped to the freezing point, and Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao were betrayed by him and forced to serve Liu Gongsi, the crown prince of Han Dynasty.

Sun Deng smiled softly and said: "I have always heard that the crown prince of Han Dynasty, Liu Gongsi, is very beautiful. There are countless beauties in his harem. If Xiaohu and Erqiao want to be favored by him, they may not need to spend money. And these, We, the State of Wu, can support it."

In the harem, if there is no property outside.

If you can't even reward the internal officials, how can you attract the prince of Han Dynasty?

If you can't even prepare delicious wine and food, how can you please the prince of Han?

Although competition for favor is inseparable from beauty, it is also inseparable from money.

"With the Wu Kingdom behind them as an aid and support, they will have a basis. Wouldn't it be easier to compete for status and favor?"

After hearing what Sun Deng said, Sun Quan could only nod.

This still makes sense.

When Sun Deng saw Sun Quan's move, he immediately struck while the iron was hot and continued:

"We, Jiangdong, have outstanding people and beautiful people since ancient times. If we can offer beauties to Han and Wei, and use the daughters of Wu as their noble wives, this may also be a way to confuse the enemy."

As a female wife?

Is this women’s politics?

What do you think of me, a woman from Jiangdong?

Sun Quan had a look of displeasure on his face.

"If I can't even bear this humiliation, will the two countries of Han and Wei believe that I, Da Wu, really have no ambitions?"

To win the trust of two countries, you will naturally have to suffer humiliation that ordinary people cannot bear.

Sun Quan was silent. After a long time, he sighed deeply, and finally nodded.

"Just do as the prince says."

But after a moment, his expression turned gloomy again.

"What if his demands are excessive?"

Excessive demands?

"As long as it doesn't hurt the fundamentals, I can agree to it!"

Showing weakness to the enemy is what Wu must bear. This is also the tragedy of a weak country. There is no way.

"If Mr. Liu comes to ask for the queen, will I send the queen over?"

Liu Gongsi's lechery is famous all over the world.

If Wu Guo obeys, he might really be able to make such a request.

Sun Deng's eyes were firm and he said: "On this kind of matter, I can't give advice, everything is left to the father to decide!"

Let the father decide.

But looking at the sharp look in his eyes, Sun Quan already understood what he meant.

Hey ~

This road to Wu's prosperity is indeed not that easy!

The scholars laughed at me and insulted me, calling me a Jiangdong person.

Ha ha.

Sun Quan sneered.

Others laugh at me for being too crazy, but I laugh at others because they can’t see through it.

When I, Da Wu, come out of the mountain, I will make the world tremble!

I, Jiang Dongerlang, am definitely not a rat!
