Three Kingdoms

  Chapter 2535 You know this, I know it, everyone knows it

After Zhang Zhao came, the first thing he did was to solemnly pay homage to Mrs. Wu, then he took the big seal given by Sun Quan, briefly confirmed with Sun Quan, and then briefly discussed with Zhou Yu, and divided the corresponding The duty is to leave the mourning hall of Mrs. Wu, and immediately rush to Gu's Wubao in a vehicle without stopping.

  Gu Yong got the news and went out early to greet him.

  Jiangdong lineage, although there are many marriages, the relationship between them is not very close. After all, it is often easy to add icing on the cake, but difficult to give charcoal in the snow.

  Gu Yong was dragged into the water regardless of Sun Quan. In fact, except for the members of the Gu family who were lamenting that they had been unlucky for eight lifetimes, and then struggling to save themselves, most of the other people were on the sidelines.

   It’s like everyone says good-hearted and honest people are good, but when they see honest people being bullied, most of them keep their mouths shut and dare not fart too much.

   Even if you fart, you will be banned.

  Including Zhang Zhao.

Only if Sun Quan is going to play big and put everyone in prison will it really attract people's resistance, otherwise most people will watch the battle between Gu Yong and Sun Quan, or watch a play, or derive their own benefit from it.

   This is actually not the first time.

  When Sun Ce was in charge of the Jiangdong gentry, it was not enough to kill the Xu family, and he had to mobilize other families, which aroused strong resistance. If Sun Ce said that he was only engaged in the Xu family back then, maybe everyone would laugh and sit down and have a feast together.

   After all, the Xu family was also a foreigner back then.

As far as the present is concerned, Sun Quan and Gu Yong are not completely shameless, and there is still room for communication and compromise, but as Sun Lang and others who are trying to die, basically they will not survive, so Sun Lang committed suicide. It is an opportunity for reconciliation.

  Everyone knows what happened to the farce under Wu Jun, but as long as they don't tell the truth, everyone can still pretend that they don't know.

   don't know, don't know, don't understand.

These three noes are as powerful and mysterious as "relevant units", "relevant departments", and "superior orders". Although specific documents will never be produced, and it is not clear where the boundaries are, they can be very straightforward. It's not easy for people to understand what's going on...

  This is not simple, not because things are not simple, but because people’s hearts are not simple.

  Things were originally simple, but after being mixed with people's hearts, they became complicated.

  People's hearts are separated by belly, is it loyal, is it traitor, or is it a loyal minister pretending to be a traitor, or a traitor pretending to be a loyal minister? Inaction, reckless action, false action, slow action, any one of them can drive others crazy!

  Aside from these miscellaneous questions, Zhang Zhao still admires Mrs. Wu very much.

  Mrs. Wu's life is for the Sun family. Even if she is unfair to some people, she is still doing her best to protect the Sun family's foundation. Sun Ce chose Sun Quan later, not because she thought Sun Quan was good at that time, but because she chose Sun Quan at that time to preserve the Sun family's foundation to the greatest extent!

   Posthumous child?

  Are you kidding, even if it is a real posthumous child, from the Spring and Autumn Period to the Warring States Period, from the Former Qin Dynasty to the Great Han Dynasty, how many times the uncle could not bear the chaos, are those lessons not enough?

  So this time, even if Zhang Zhao didn't look at Sun Quan's face, he still had to look at Mrs. Wu's face.

  After arriving at Wubao, Zhang Zhao and Gu Yong exchanged brief greetings, and after a few words without nutrition, they entered the topic.

  Zhang Zhao looks a little old-eyed and dazed, and seems to be slow in everything, but if he really thinks Zhang Zhao is a fatuous old man, then he will definitely suffer a big loss.

  『Trouble Yuan Tan greets you, it’s really polite...When the old man came, the governor repeatedly dissuaded him from coming here...』

  Zhang Zhao seemed to be rambling on, but what he said surprised Gu Yong.

  What are civilized people most afraid of?

   Well, maybe what are self-proclaimed civilized guys most afraid of?

  Of course it’s because I’m afraid of being hung up by a street lamp… Ahem, that’s pretty much what it means. Why do civilized people let the aborigines wear shoes, because if they wear shoes, they are not barefoot!

   Gu Yong's original plan, now there is a flaw.

  Man is not as good as God, that's why Gu Yong knew that Zhang Zhao was coming and went out to greet him. On the one hand, it was because of Zhang Zhao's reputation, and on the other hand, it was because the pot was leaking, and he always had to make up for it.

  The first thing that missed was Zhou Yu's arrival.

  The second eye is that Sun Lang died too quickly.

  The third eye, which is also the biggest one, of course, Mrs. Wu is also dead.

   There is still a pot, so I am reluctant to overturn the pot.

   Leaking one eye can still make up, too much leakage...

   Then it is possible to just throw it away and not make it up.

  Normally speaking, isn’t it normal to see the feeling of seeing and going back and forth when besieging a city?

  Then Gu Yong can be like the great empire of later generations, remote control through Wubao, messing up the surrounding area of ​​Wu County...

   You must know that the surrounding area of ​​Wu County is not only an economic zone, but also an important grain-producing area!

  It’s winter now, one delay and two delays, but winter has turned into spring, and the surrounding economy will be greatly affected by then, do we still need grain production?

  Whether Sun Lang or Sun Quan wins at that time, will we still have to rely on Jiangdong people, or what will they eat? The food is gone, no matter how many soldiers there are, it will be a burden, and it will be chaotic in an instant!

  For this reason, Gu Yong also paid special attention to Zhou Yu, and heard that Zhou Yu's large army was still stationed at the same place, and there was no abnormal movement, so he moved his hands. But Gu Yong didn't expect that Zhou Yu didn't bring a large army, but just brought some light cavalry and rushed directly to Wu County!

  Then why did Zhou Yu dissuade Zhang Zhao and not suggest Zhang Zhao to come?

  Is this going to turn heads?

  Gu Yong's face turned pale, and he immediately forced himself to drink tea calmly.

  If only Sun Lang died alone, then Gu Yong would not be so worried, and now Mrs. Wu is also dead, if Sun Quan really went crazy and wants to drag Gu to be buried with him, then it is really hard to say...

  Gu Yong put down his teacup, "A certain forbidden foot has come, and he has never left this castle, and everyone can prove it..."

   Zhang Zhao listened, nodded with a half-smile, and said nothing.

This matter, you know, I know, everyone knows, the reason why you don’t know is because you know that this problem is more complicated, and it’s really not easy to do. If you pretend to be a lotus flower, pure, innocent, or wronged because of this, then Not only is it an insult to IQ, but it is also suspected of insulting personality.

Gu Yong obviously knew this too, so he quickly continued: "Now Mrs. Wu has passed away, and I feel the same when I hear about it. I am very sad. I would like to donate a hundred pieces of linen and two thousand stones of grain and grass as condolences." ...'

  In the Han Dynasty, there was a custom of heavy burial. Mrs. Wu, of course, needs an extra burial.

  Of course, what Gu Yong meant was not just to express a donation.

  First, Sun Lang deserves to die, so I don’t say anything about it. Sun Quan, in fact, deserves to die too, so I don’t mention it, but Mrs. Wu shouldn’t die, so she donated materials because she was “inexplicably sad”.

  At the same time, Mrs. Wu's death cannot be blamed on the Gu family. Shouldn't Sun Quan go to "empathize" with this matter? If it weren't for the mess of the Sun family's idiot, could Mrs. Wu die?

  Third, "Condolence", the mourning hall is always unarmed, let's sit down and talk, if you have something to say, just say it...

  Zhang Zhao raised his eyelids and pinched Gu Yong, his beard moved.

  This is a bit interesting.

   On the whole, there is actually no problem with Gu Yong's plan.

   Zhang Zhao also admitted this.

  Gu Yong’s overall layout is actually not bad, even Zhang Zhao believes that Gu Yong actually has a second hand, which can be released at certain critical moments, such as when Sun Quan and Sun Lang are exhausted from fighting...

  But when it really comes to that time, it will basically be equivalent to turning your face.

   People's hearts are different after all.

  The positions are naturally different.

  Zhang Zhao, like the Sun family, is a foreigner belonging to Jiangdong, so there are some things in common.

   Gu Yong is a native of Jiangdong, and there are some ideas in common among Jiangdong natives.

   This is why Sun Ce told Sun Quan before his death that he should listen to the opinions of Zhang Zhao and Zhou Yu when encountering problems, because Zhou Yu and Zhang Zhao are somewhat different from those in Jiangdong.

  It's a pity that Sun Quan didn't want to listen to it, he just wanted to let people on both sides listen to him.

   But one thing is certain is that outsiders like Zhang Zhao and Jiangdong natives like Gu Yong have the same thing, that is, they value interests, not loyalty.

   Benefits are permanent, but loyalty...

   Gu Yong's loyalty to Sun Quan is the same, and Zhang Zhao is the same. Both of them value interests, not loyalty to Sun.

  People's loyalty does not have a fixed value like in the game.

   In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Guan Yu, who represented loyalty and righteousness, also repeatedly doubted Liu Bei, or the resolution of the military adviser Zhuge Liang, and expressed dissatisfaction with the arrangement of the five tiger generals?

   There is also Zhao Yun, who also publicly questioned and opposed Liu Bei.

  However, some people's dissatisfaction is only in their thoughts, mostly on their lips, while some people don't say it, but they do it under their hands.

  Which one counts as loyalty?

   Or neither?

   Or is it a fault-finding expression, you can't even think about it, otherwise it is "crime of defamation"?

  Zhang Zhao and Gu Yong's loyalty to the Sun family is relatively similar.

  The key is interest.

   When it comes to benefits, let’s talk about it.

   Now, Zhang Zhao expressed his approval of Gu Yong's willingness to talk about interests, but at the same time, he also expressed contempt for the number of interests Gu Yong expressed.

this one?

  For Zhang Zhao, such a big face came here, and then Gu Yong had such a trace of blood?

  So Zhang Zhao got up, let out a haha, turned around and was about to leave.

  Gu Yong hurriedly got up to stay with each other.

  But seeing Zhang Zhao's expression of swearing not to give up until he reaches his goal, Gu Yong said after a moment of pondering: "The death of Mrs. Wu is a major event in Jiangdong, and it must be shaken. Don't be careless." Someone has heard that under the Yellow Spring, life is completely extinct. It is definitely not a place of goodness, but there are also rules, just like the rules of the world. I wonder if Mr. Zhang thinks so? 』

  Jiangdong Buddhism is quite popular.

  Huang Quan, the issue of life and death is also a matter of concern for people, so it is naturally not too scary to say.

What does Gu Yong mean? It's not just talking about life and death, but Zhang Zhao, you don't have to judge me. If it really happens that two people break up, I, Gu, will go to hell, but others may not be better off. When the time comes, Jiangdong will be in turmoil , Vitality is extinct!

   People are dead and can’t speak, but living people are still there, and there are still rules, at least come up with a charter...

  Zhang Zhao naturally understood Gu Yong's meaning, so he said: "Although the old man is half in the loess, he doesn't know what the Nine Nether Places are like." If people try to talk about it, there is no absolute. The size of Huangquan is unknown, it may be as large as Jingzhou, or it may be as wide as Kyushu... Either it is unified, or each has its own jurisdiction, and there are endless battles. Becoming one... Hehe, if each has its own affiliation, it will be like Liu Jingsheng in the past, and the north and south are divided by two or three today. People's hearts are already like this, and the ghost's intentions may be even more treacherous..."

  When Gu Yong heard this, his eyes sank slightly.

  Zhang Zhao spoke lightly, but there was a sinister tone in his tone.

   Not all politicians have a big heart. Only a small number of politicians with firm beliefs can say that they do not do anything wrong and are not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door.

In history, Gu Yong was dedicated to his duties and loyal to state affairs, which is not wrong, because at that time Sun Quan had already resisted the Battle of Chibi, and later became the king of Wu. It is incomparable, so Gu Yong, like other Jiangdong gentry, is reticent, so as not to say the wrong thing and be detained for five days or something...

At present, because of the relationship between Hussar General Fei Qian, the Jiangdong area is far from being valued as much as it was in history. Even the people of Jiangdong think that Sun Quan is just a lucky fool who is not worthy of assistance. For example, before the Battle of Chibi, when they heard that Boss Cao was coming, everyone in Jiangdong immediately sold their shares and welcomed Boss Cao's investment.

  If Gu Yong in history was really so loyal to Sun Quan, then Zhang Zhao would not have taken the lead in saying that he had voted to prepare for the next round. Everyone, including Gu Yong, of course, responded one after another, only Lu Su objected.

  So the thing about loyalty is that you know that I know that everyone knows, each has a tacit understanding, and knows it well, but if it is really brought out to talk about it, it will appear embarrassing...

   People are lucky, no matter how big the problem is, it is not a sin, but unlucky, taking a breath is heinous.

  If you succeed, you will naturally jump into the dragon's gate; if you fail, you will go to the knife.

   This is a very natural thing, it would be meaningless if you are not a bachelor...

  Anyway, Zhang Zhao has said that he himself is half covered with loess, and if there is a big trouble, how will Gu's benefit? Even if there are hundreds of thousands of soldiers like Liu Jingsheng, wouldn't they be divided up once?

   Just like how many members of the Gu family are loyal to Sun Quan, how many members of the Gu family are loyal to Gu Yong alone?

   At this point, Gu Yong's last resistance was finally defeated, he no longer put himself on the strong side, and began to compromise with a lower stance...

  The rest of the matter is naturally simple.

  Negotiation is like this, as long as one party makes concessions, the rest is easy to talk about.

  In addition to paying the corresponding money and food, the Jiangdong gentry must also surrender a certain number of private soldiers, and stipulate that the number of private soldiers they own is directly linked to the size of the official position.

  If there is no official position, no more than a hundred people are allowed...

At the same time, Zhang Zhao also expressed on behalf of Sun Quan that Sun Quan had to observe filial piety for three years, and during the three years, all affairs were discussed by Zhou Yu, Zhang Zhao and the children of the Jiangdong gentry. He will come to trouble the Jiangdong gentry.

   As for three years later, that will be the next thing.

  The news of "Yihe" was naturally like a howling wind, and it blew all over Jiangdong in an instant, which made some people breathe a sigh of relief, and some people were shocked.

   Among them was Sun Hao who received the news.

Sun Hao is still complacent these days. Hearing the growing discussion about the idiot in the market, he thinks that the idiot of the Sun family is about to die, but in the blink of an eye, he hears that Sun Quan is going to honor Mrs. Wu for three years. Zhao acted as an agent for military and political affairs, and the Jiangdong gentry fully cooperated to restore Wujun's economic production.

   This made Sun Hao's mouth shut!

what happened?

  『Three years of filial piety? ! ’ Sun Gong also heard the news, hurried over, and after meeting Sun Hao, he said, ‘Really keep for three years? This, is this crazy? 』

"fart! ”Sun Hao gritted his teeth, he couldn’t even pretend to be calm in front of his son, “Three years is just an excuse! When this turmoil is over, just find any reason to seize love! 』

  Sun Hao didn't believe that Sun Quan would really keep his filial piety for three years.

  Of course, it is indeed impossible for Sun Quan to really abandon his foundation and keep his filial piety for three years without caring about it. The so-called three years is just the maximum time for him to transfer his authority.

  『My lord father…』Sun Gong said, 『The market no longer talks about…that stuff, but talks about his unparalleled filial piety and righteousness, which is the blessing of Jiangdong…』

  『Xiaoyi Wushuang? The blessing of Jiangdong? Aha, ahahahaha! ’ Sun Hao laughed out loud as if he had heard the funniest thing, and couldn’t hold back his tears, “Hahaha, these shameless people really dare to say anything.” ...'

  『Father...the people...have two completely different statements before and after. After listening to the people, don't they doubt it? ’ Sun Gong said, ‘How about we…’

"useless. ”Sun Hao stopped laughing, wiped away his tears, shook his head and said, “It’s useless... people, people have no mouths... and no memory... There were people who had doubts before, but now in a few days, all of them will be gone He is the Lord of Jiangdong, so loyal and filial...I never thought, I really didn't expect this guy...to be willing to let go...』

  Originally, the biggest dispute between Sun Quan and the Jiangdong gentry was the struggle for power and interests. Now that Sun Quan has let go and lies flat, naturally there will be no conflicts.

It's like the female boxing of the Bangzi Kingdom in the later generations. They clamored and were bullied all day long, and they were harassed when they looked at each other. so peaceful...

  The economic foundation determines the superstructure. Once Sun Quan lay flat, all the efforts of Sun Hao and others lost their direction.

  『Then... my lord...』 Sun Gong was silent for a while, and said with some hesitation, 『What should we do? 』

Sun Hao clicked his mouth a few times, like a fish jumping ashore. After a while, he said, "...unless... unless this guy's filial piety is a lie, we can't do anything... big man, big man builds a country with loyalty and filial piety... keep filial piety , is the biggest barrier for this guy, to oppose him now is to be disloyal and unfilial... How can you move, how can you move? 』

  『Then we…』

  『We, we... can only keep filial piety for Mrs. Wu... Filial piety, it’s ridiculous...』

  『…』
