Rebirth of the Three Kingdoms: Da Qiao doesn't want to be a widow anymore

"My father is still ill, so I won't go." Qiao Rui politely rejected Sun Quan's proposal.

But Mother Qiao didn't think so. It was such a rare opportunity to show her face in front of Sun Quan and everyone, how could she miss it.

"Rui'er has pure filial piety. Your father and I both know how to resign since you are invited by the king." Mother Qiao said anxiously, "Your father will be under my care, so you can go with the king without any worries. "

Qiao Rui failed to prevent Qiao's mother from trying to cause trouble behind his back, and Qiao Rui pushed him forward repeatedly.

There was a hint of sarcasm in Qiao Wei's eyes, "Since my mother has said so, brother, let's go together and see the excitement!"

Sun Quan also looked at Qiao Rui, as if waiting for him to go.

At this moment, Qiao Rui was stood up, and it was impossible not to go.

"Then it's better to be respectful than to obey." Qiao Rui bit the bullet and followed him into the carriage.

The carriage moved slowly along the street, the vendors on the roadside shouted one after another, and lanterns began to be lit outside some shops. The sky was getting dark, and the three people in the car had different thoughts.

The hands in the sleeves were clenched tightly, and the lips were pursed on the face that was pretending to be calm. The sound of the horse's hoofs was like a hammer, hammering into his heart.

As they were getting closer and closer to the Golden Platform, Youxun reported quietly from outside the carriage, "Junhou, the road ahead is blocked. Do you want to send someone to clear the place?"

Qiao Wei opened a corner of the curtain and looked out. He was still at least three hundred steps away from Xiangjin Platform. From a distance, he could see the crowds of people, the carriages and horses, and it was already blocked.

"If you get off the carriage and walk, you might be able to get in." Qiao Wei looked at the flow of people. If he waited for the carriage to line up, he might miss the New Year's Eve review.

Qiao Rui quickly objected, "A gentleman will not stand under a dangerous wall. Nowadays, this place is crowded with people, and all three religions and nine streams are mixed in. I don't know how many dangers are hidden in it. If someone has evil thoughts, a noble man like you will be killed." You should be more careful with your body."

Qiao Wei looked at Qiao Rui with a half-smile but not a smile. He suddenly thought that he had once been one of the people with "unruly intentions", but he was not qualified to stand here and make comments about Sun Quan and Qiao Wei, so he couldn't help but shut up.

Sun Quan saw a carriage with a lantern with the word "Gu" hanging on it from a distance, and pointed it out to Qiao Wei, "If we can really get these talents, it will be as much as your contribution."

Qiao Wei tilted his head and smiled, "Only half? Junhou is really stingy."

Sun Quan couldn't help but laugh, "You don't take the credit!"

"That's right." Qiao Wei immediately climbed up the pole and unceremoniously asked Sun Quan for credit.

Sun Quan led Qiao Wei off his horse and walked away. The families of Youxun and Youye followed closely around them, surrounding Sun Quan and Qiao Wei.

There are also vendors selling their crafts around, adding a bit more popularity and liveliness to the Yuedan Ping.

"I've done all my business here." Sun Quan couldn't help but sigh as he smelled the aroma of all kinds of food and looked at the lively streets.

Although these small traders may not know the true meaning of Yuedan Ping, as long as there is a popular place, it is an opportunity for them to make a living.

Seeing the rise of these small traders, Qiao Wei can easily know whether the people of Jiangdong are living well or not.

In this era where people mainly rely on labor-intensive areas for food, the prosperity of commerce can drive the development of productivity to a certain extent.

Only a short distance of two to three hundred steps, Sun Quan and Qiao Wei walked for nearly half an hour before arriving.

The Xiangjin Platform is modeled on the platform built by King Yan Zhao during the Warring States Period to recruit talents. Xu Jing is sitting on the platform, and Zhang Zhao, Yan Zhen, Zhang Hong, Zhuge Jin and Hua Xin are sitting on the left and right respectively.

These are the most talented and knowledgeable people under Sun Quan. Qiao Wei was a little surprised to see Hua Xin. She remembered that in her previous life, Hua Xin was recruited by Cao Cao after Sun Ce's death, and went north to serve as an official in Cao Wei until San Gong.

Moreover, before Hua Xin entered Beijing, all his former guests and friends came to see him off, but he refused everyone's gifts and farewells and went alone. Naturally, his reputation for integrity spread out.

"Did You Ye tell you?" Sun Quan thought about it and concluded that it was You Ye who could only have told Qiao Wei that the Han Dynasty had issued an edict to Hua Xin.

After all, this matter was secretive, and few people knew exactly about it. Even Zhang Hong didn't know the inside story.

"Cao Cao indeed asked the Han Emperor to issue an edict, but it will still take some time for the edict to reach Jiangdong, and the person who sent the edict on the way may never be able to deliver it."

Sun Quan raised his eyebrows slightly and answered Qiao Wei's doubts.

Murder?
"Did you let someone do it?"

"You wouldn't dare." Nowadays, the Sun family is still a minister of the Han Dynasty. If they dare to touch the angels of the Han Dynasty, it will confirm their Sun family's ambition to rebel.

He is not that stupid to follow in Yuan Shu's footsteps.

"The confrontation between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao is in the north. Battles of various sizes break out from time to time. In the chaos of war, who can guarantee that there will be no accidental injuries."

Qiao Wei is not stupid, and he will not kill Yuan Shao's people. As long as the angel reveals his identity as an envoy of the Han Dynasty, no one will dare to touch him.

"It seems like someone is fishing in troubled waters again."

As long as the angel envoy has entered Jiangdong without a clear whereabouts, then it is something that happened on Cao Cao's territory.

Nowadays, Cao Cao's biggest problem is still Yuan Shao. Rather than blaming Jiangdong, Cao Cao hopes to add a few charges of disrespecting the Han Dynasty to Yuan Shao.

In troubled times, it doesn't matter what the truth is. What matters is what truth you want to be seen.

Sun Quan smiled, obviously in a good mood, "Since it is a fish, naturally it cannot be let go easily."

It is better to stay in your own fish pond than to give it to others.

At this time, a young man in a green robe walked up to the stage, holding a painting of his own and said, "I am Cao Fuxing, Wuxing. I have a painting today. I would like to ask you to comment on it. Okay." If you know what’s lacking, you can find ways to improve it.”

"He's really here."

Qiao Wei turned to look at Sun Quan, "Do you recognize this person?"

Sun Quan nodded, "I once had a long talk with him one night."

"Did the Lord invite him here?"

Since Sun Quan knew him, Qiao Wei speculated that it would be impossible for Sun Quan not to invite some of his own people to support the occasion during the Lunar New Year Review.

"Yes." Sun Quan looked at Qiao Wei with more and more satisfaction in his eyes. His wife understood him better and better, "But Youjin said before that he was unwilling to come, but I didn't expect that he would come anyway."

In the third year of Jian'an, he passed by the land of Wuxing during his expedition. Cao Fuxing was painting in front of his house, but Youxun arrested him as a fine artist, but Sun Quan immediately let Youxun let him go after seeing his paintings. Such paintings His skills were so expressive that Sun Quan developed a love for talent.

Youxun also checked his life experience, and found that he was indeed just an ordinary painter. Sun Quan also apologized and cherished such a talent. The two chatted happily in the inn. Cao Fuxing introduced Sun Quan as a confidant and painted many paintings for Sun Quan. portrait.
