Farmer of Shu Han

Chapter 1319: All important ministers are ill

 Princess Quan was secretly happy when she saw her Alang being so furious.

 Alang always said in the past that he had to plan for the sake of the country and the overall situation. He was hesitant about Lu Xun and the prince, and was unwilling to break up with each other.

I didn’t expect that Lu Boyan would be so ignorant that he would let Alang kill his son.

“Alang is too soft-hearted, which is why Lu Boyan pushed forward.”

Princess Quan started to fan the flames, "This person relies on his past achievements and his current status as a general to propose the establishment of a prince, persuade the establishment of a queen, and even dares to take care of the affairs of your majesty's harem."

"Not to mention that now he is acting as prime minister. I am afraid that he has nothing to spare. In his heart, how can the family affairs of Alang, the governor, be compared with the family affairs of His Majesty?"

Quan Cong was already on the receiving end of the fire, but when he heard what Princess Quan said, he became even more angry and said:

“He is not trying to persuade me to kill my son. He is simply saying that I don’t know how to educate my son. He says that my whole family has no tutor and can only raise a deviant son!”

"Alang is absolutely right." Princess Quan agreed, "The King of Lu was granted the title by Your Majesty, and it is your Majesty's wish to stand side by side with the Crown Prince."

 “Your Majesty respects King Lu, and Aji becomes King Lu’s guest. It’s just an act in compliance with His Majesty’s wishes.”

"Lu Boyan wants Alang to kill Aji. How can he do this for Alang's good? He simply thinks that he is above His Majesty."

Quan Cong's face became darker and darker, and his eyes were filled with anger.

He naturally knew that the princess did not like the current prince, and even had a grudge against the prince's mother, Mrs. Wang.

 A few days ago, a group of ministers headed by Lu Xun called on Your Majesty to make the King's wife your queen. Your Majesty had some thoughts.

 But now, he deliberately did not mention this matter. It is obvious that he may have changed his mind.

This is probably indispensable because of the dissuasion of my junior gentleman.

 After all, when Mrs. Wang’s marriage was the most uproar, the princess had to enter the palace almost every day, mostly to persuade His Majesty.

 He did not ask the princess how to persuade His Majesty.

 After all, the whole family and the princess are now bound together, and the grievance between the princess and Mrs. Wang has been going on for a long time and cannot be resolved in a day.

 Now that Mrs. Wang is really going to become a queen, it may not be good news for the whole family.

 So Quan Cong basically turned a blind eye to this matter.

Even if his son Quanzhi became a guest of King Lu, he may not have known about it from the beginning, but just pretended not to know.

To put it bluntly, even Quan Cong didn’t like the prince deep down in his heart.

  To be precise, he is not very willing for Sun He to become the crown prince.

 Because if the prince comes to power in the future, who knows whether the whole family will be angry because of the enmity between his mother and the princess?

 So when it comes to the dispute over the second house and the matter of establishing a queen, he did not take a clear-cut stance on which side he stood on, but had an ambiguous attitude and let nature take its course, which itself explains the problem.

And he also believed the princess’s analysis:

Your Majesty established the crown prince just because of the circumstances, and he may not necessarily have been identified with the crown prince in his heart.

If not, why let King Lu and the prince stand side by side?

 “It is not appropriate for me to get involved in the matter between the Crown Prince and King Lu now.”

Quan Cong’s words disappointed Princess Quan once again, but his next words quickly made Princess Quan happy again:

"But Lu Boyan has repeatedly bullied my whole family. If I don't fight back, he will think that I am too easy to bully."

“If word gets out about it, others will say I’m afraid of him!”

Lu Xun is a supporter of the prince's party. There is no need for the governor, Alang, to personally oppose the prince. As long as he can fight with Lu Xun, it can be regarded as indirectly weakening the prince's power.

 “What is Alang going to do?”

Quan Cong gritted his teeth and spit out two words: "Chen Xun!"

Princess Quan was stunned: "Chen Xun?"

 She was not familiar with Chen Xun, and she didn't know that her Alang counterattacked Lu Xun, but he wanted to attack Chen Xun.

 Quan Cong saw Princess Quan’s confused look, so he explained:

"Chen Xun is the typical soldier in the Shouchun battle. It is said that Zhang Xiu and Gu Chenggong are more powerful than the Quan family members. It is this person."

 In the Wu army, the person responsible for calculating merits was none other than Dian Jun.

 Therefore, regarding the Shouchun discussion of merit, the Quan family not only resented Zhang Xiu and Gu Cheng, but also resented Chen Xun, the Dian army at that time.

"Lu Boyan is the general, and I am acting as the prime minister at this time. As the governor, I always take care of the overall situation. If there is a conflict with him because of this matter, His Majesty will not be happy. And the Zhang and Gu families are also from the same family. reason."

 Zhang Xiu is the son of Zhang Zhao.

 Gu Cheng is the grandson of Gu Yong.

 The four surnames in Wu County are Gu, Lu, Zhu and Zhang.

 In terms of merit in Shouchun, two of the four surnames accounted for it.

 The four surnames in Wu County, hum!

"But Chen Xun is different." The anger in Quan Cong's eyes has faded, replaced by gloom, "Who does he think he is? He dares to offend me?"

You can't openly touch people with the four surnames in Wu County. How can you still not touch your mere Chen Xun?

"This person has a very good relationship with Zhang Xiu, Gu Cheng and others in private, so he falsely claimed a lot of military exploits for them in Shouchun, so that their achievements surpassed those of our Quan clan. Children."

 Princess Quan was overjoyed when she heard this.

 The four surnames in Wu County are mostly those who support the prince.

 Shuchun's discussion of merit involves the Lu and Gu families.

If Alang can reverse the situation in this matter, then he can directly hit the Lu Gu Er family, which is of great significance.

Not to mention, among the prince's party, the person with the most clear-cut attitude and the most radical attitude is none other than Gu Cheng's brother Gu Tan.

This person has won the trust of your majesty, but he tried his best to persuade your majesty that he must move King Lu out of town and not live in Jianye before he would give up.

 It is indeed deeply hateful.

If the matter were reversed, it would not only hit Lu Xun, but also Gu Tan. It could be said that killing two birds with one stone would kill two birds with one stone.

Upon thinking of this, Princess Quan couldn't help but asked in a low voice with surprise and joy:

 “Alang, are you sure?”

Quan Cong glanced at Princess Quan meaningfully:

"The princess is not a member of the army, so she doesn't know what happens in the army."

"Since ancient times, we have been discussing merit in front of the formation. How can every item be clear and clear? It is considered rare to be basically the same."

"There are many warriors in Kuang's army, and false reporting of military achievements is forbidden many times." At this point, he chuckled and said, "Is Zhuge Yuanxun considered a leader of the younger generation?"

“But do you think all the military exploits he has reported over the years are true?”

False reporting of military merits is no longer a matter for individual individuals in the army, but occurs throughout the entire army.

 As long as you are willing to check carefully, you can definitely find the problem.

 It depends on whether you are willing to check it.

 In many cases, Da Wu, from top to bottom, turned a blind eye.

 After all, most of the soldiers in the army are warriors. It is when they are asked to fight hard that they cannot be too demanding.

 But now Lu Boyan is making an example of Zhuge Yuanxun, which directly breaks the unspoken rules that everyone has been following.

Then I can imitate others, isn’t it wrong?

 In the past two years, although Quan Cong has not launched any attacks, his secret investigations have never stopped.

Of course, he did have some intention of saving some face for Lu Boyan and Gu Yong.

However, he never thought that the relationship between the Quan family and their family would reach this point.

 After all, although Zhang Zhao is gone, Gu Yong is still the prime minister of Wu, plus a general.

How could Quan Cong not worry?

Unexpectedly, Princess Quan laughed after knowing Quan Cong's concerns:

"Why should Alang worry so much? Does Alang know that a few days ago, His Majesty sent the palace physician Zhao Quan to the Gu Mansion to check on the Prime Minister's illness, and the day before yesterday, he appointed the Prime Minister's son Ji as the Cavalry Commander?"

This time, it was Quan Cong’s turn to be confused:

"Your Majesty has always respected the Prime Minister. Isn't it normal for the Prime Minister to send the palace doctor to him when he is ill?"

Princess Quan smiled slightly:

“It’s normal to send the doctor there, but it’s not normal for the doctor to worship his young son Ji as the Cavalry Commander after he’s done with it.”

"What's the meaning?"

 Princess Quan’s smile became even weirder:

"I happened to hear it when I entered the palace. This doctor, Zhao Quan, is good at saying goodbye to life and death. Your Majesty worships Gu Ji as the Cavalry Commander. It is because you pity the Prime Minister that you want him to see his son worship with his own eyes when he is alive. !”

Quan Cong suddenly woke up:

“Princess, you mean that Zhao Quan has concluded that the Prime Minister will die soon?”

The princess smiled and said nothing.

Although I am quite jealous of the Gu brothers, I have to say that Gu Yong has been the prime minister for nineteen years and has been very helpful to the country. He is a very virtuous, loyal and virtuous man, quite like an elder, and is deeply respected by all the ministers in the court. .

 Quan Cong is no exception.

 At this time, Quan Cong also sighed a little when he heard that the prime minister might die soon.

Just sighing, but after learning the news, Quan Cong became even more determined to take action against the Gu brothers.

 After all, they are not their grandfathers.

To put it bluntly, once the Prime Minister really wants to leave, it will be a God-given opportunity to attack the Gu brothers.

The prime minister of Wu State was seriously ill and was about to die, and on Ji Han's side, the general who recorded the minister's affairs was also lying on the bed, suffering from illness.

 “Cough cough cough…”

 In the room full of the smell of herbs, Jiang Wan was lying on the edge of the couch, coughing desperately.

The second son Jiang Xian, who had been waiting at the sick bed, quickly stepped forward and stroked his master's back to relieve his pain.

 At the same time, he turned his head to the left and right and said:

“Go and ask if the medicinal soup is ready? When it’s ready, ask them to bring it to you as soon as possible.”

Jiang Wan finally finished coughing, and then he breathed a sigh of relief and waved his hand:

“Forget it, I am afraid that my illness cannot be cured by decoction. I am afraid it will make no difference whether I drink it or not.”

Looking at the adult's cheeks that had dried up due to illness, Jiang Xian couldn't help but feel hot in his eyes and persuaded:

"Sir, there are many famous doctors in the medical school who can compete with Tufu (that is, the underworld) in terms of age, so the Taiyin doctor will give them face. This decoction is prescribed by the medical school. If you drink it, it will definitely be useful."

Jiang Wan was able to see things openly, so he lay back on the couch, closed his eyes and said:

"I drank this decoction, not you. Do you know better than me whether it is useful or not?"

Every day when the weather is slightly cold or humid, my condition will relapse, which is really uncomfortable.

As he spoke, Jiang Wan’s dry face covering his cheeks moved again, and he laughed at himself:

“I am old and my life is probably over. The Tufu Taiyin Law Cao will give the medical school face, but the Tufu Ghost Emperor will not give it..."

At this time, a voice interrupted Jiang Wan:

"The Ghost Emperor will not give face to the medical school, but he will give me, the Ghost King, face. Come on, General, give me face and drink this bowl of soup first."

“After drinking it, I will ask the Ghost Emperor to revise his death certificate and extend the general’s life by a few more years.”

Hearing this voice, Jiang Wan opened his eyes suddenly.

Just then, he saw the Great Sima Feng Gui Wang standing in front of the couch with some decoction and looking at him with a smile.

“Da Sima? Why is Da Sima here?”

As Jiang Wan spoke, he stood up.

Feng Da Sima quickly handed the decoction to Jiang Xian, and then personally helped Jiang Wan sit up.

"The general needs to rest, so I deliberately don't let people in your house report to the general in advance, so as not to disturb the general."

Jiang Wan smiled bitterly and shook his head:

"A certain old man is old, frail and sick, and has caused a lot of trouble to Da Sima. Wan feels guilty."

 Feng Da Sima took the decoction from Jiang Xian's hand and brought it to Jiang Wan's mouth:

"The general has worked hard for the country for most of his life and has never said he is in trouble. Now that he has exhausted all his energy and is enjoying a rest, why do he say he is in trouble?"

 Jiang Wan had no choice but to open his mouth and drink the decoction.

After feeding the decoction, Feng Da Sima handed the bowl to Jiang Xian again, and then said:

“The medical school was founded by me, King Feng Gui. They may deceive patients, but they will certainly not deceive me.”

“Before coming here, I went to the medical school and personally asked about the general’s condition. The answer they gave me was that the general seemed to be seriously ill, but in fact it was not fatal.”

"Of course, it is not necessarily true that this decoction can cure the general's illness, but at least it can alleviate the general's illness and prevent him from being so uncomfortable."

As he said that, Feng Da Sima sat down on the chair that Jiang Xian moved and pointed at himself, "On this point, even if the general doesn't believe in the medical school, he can still believe in me."

Jiang Xian, who was standing by, heard this and immediately showed a look of joy on his face.

If it weren't for Da Sima talking to his master, he wouldn't dare to move easily, and would jump up with excitement if he couldn't help it.

Jiang Wan was obviously surprised by the news brought by Feng Da Sima. He opened his eyes in disbelief:

"Do you really mean what Da Sima said? Is he trying to comfort me?"

 Feng Dasima’s face was filled with a smile:

“Does the general think that I am the one who makes fun of such things?”

Jiang Wan saw Feng Da Sima's expression, relaxed his body, and also smiled and said:

"After all, Mr. Feng is a man of clever words. I have been deceived by Da Sima before, so I have to be careful to ask more questions."

Hearing this, Jiang Xian’s face changed slightly.

 He glanced at Feng Da Sima nervously.

However, Da Sima’s expression did not change, and he even raised his head and laughed:

“That’s not coaxing, it’s just a face-saving project at best.”

 Jiang Xian was confused by what they said and couldn't understand them at all.

 But he could hear that the relationship between Da Sima and his master was indeed extraordinary.

This made him feel a little happy.

 Perhaps it’s because talking about the past always makes people happy.

Jiang Wan actually had the strength to stretch out his hand and pointed at Feng Da Sima:

“That’s true. I still remember that when I first arrived in Nanxiang, the first words I saw were: If you want to get rich, build roads first!”

As he spoke, he patted the side of the couch hard again, with a smile all over his face:

“Now it seems that Da Sima’s words are indeed correct!”

  Over the years, wherever the Han Dynasty conquered, the engineering team built roads there.

Although it cannot compare with the momentum of the previous Han Dynasty in building post roads all the way to the Western Regions, we have to admit that these roads played an important role in allowing the court to strengthen its control over local areas and even borders.

After talking about some past events, Jiang Wan said with emotion:

“Thinking about these things, they are still in front of me, but I didn’t expect that so many years have passed.”

He looked at Feng Da Sima and said:

"I didn't expect that Da Sima has become the pillar of the Han Dynasty. This is still in the old capital. I am afraid that I can't bear the important task of revitalizing the Han Dynasty, so I can only make Da Sima work more hard."

Feng Dashima shook his head:

“Let’s not talk about the three-pronged Han Dynasty for the time being. This is still in the old capital, and the general will definitely be able to see it.”

After speaking, he smiled mysteriously:

“Perhaps the general will be able to see it before the end of this year.”

When Jiang Wan heard this, he was immediately shocked:

“Da Sima is planning to send troops to Luoyang this year?”

 The Han Dynasty's treasury has not yet returned to this full level, has it?

 Feng Da Sima turned his head slightly and glanced at Jiang Xian.

Jiang Xian quickly bowed and retreated, taking away all the servants on the left and right at the same time.

 Feng Da Sima then said to Jiang Wan:

“Well, it should be said that Sima Yi asked us to send troops to Luoyang.”

"Sima Yi?" Jiang Wan couldn't help but blurt out, not expecting to hear this name, "Is he going to surrender?"
