Chapter 1731: The Death of Sun Ce (Part 2)
The atmosphere in the room was a bit solemn. Although Jiangdong officials were somewhat dissatisfied with Sun Ce's execution of Yu Ji, Sun Ce was the King of Wu after all and had absolute say in Jiangdong. Besides, Yu Ji's presence did affect the monarch's view of Jiangdong to a certain extent.
What they didn't expect was that Sun Ce would become seriously ill because of Yu Ji's incident.
Sun Ce was brave and good at fighting and had a great reputation in the world. The civil servants and generals in Jiangdong also supported Sun Ce very much. If Sun Ce left suddenly, where would they go and what would happen to Jiangdong.
After everyone saluted, Sun Ce reluctantly sat up with the help of the maid, and said in a weak voice: "The world is in chaos today. With the soldiers from Jiangdong and the solidity of Sanjiang, they will definitely be able to do great things. I hope Zibu and others can assist us."
The king's younger brother Zhongmou will govern Jiangdong." After saying this, he ordered people to take out the seal and ribbon and give it to Sun Quan.
"Zhongmou will be the lord of Jiangdong in the future. He should act in a measured manner and not be reckless or willful. If he is to lead the troops of Jiangdong on the battlefield and compete with the princes of the world, Zhongmou will not be as good as me. If it is to recruit talents and appoint them to defend Jiangdong,
Zhouquan, I am not as good as Zhongmou, I hope Zhongmou can remember the difficulties of his father and brother starting a business, preserve Jiangdong, and slowly plan for it."
Sun Quan burst into tears when he heard this and took the seal ribbon.
Sun Ce turned his attention to his mother and said: "Now that my son is terminally ill, I will leave the affairs of Jiangdong to my brother Zhongmou. I hope that my mother can teach him day and night. Father and brother, old people, be careful not to neglect him."
Mrs. Wu cried: "I'm afraid your brother is young and is not qualified for the affairs of Jiangdong. What should I do?"
A smile appeared on Sun Ce's pale face: "Zhongmou's talent is ten times better than his own. He is enough to lead the people in Jiangdong. If you are not sure about internal affairs, you can ask Zhang Zhao. If you are not sure about foreign affairs, you can ask Zhou Yu. I hate that Zhou Yu is not in Jiangdong like this."
, you cannot give instructions in person."
Thinking of Zhou Yu, one can imagine the regret in Sun Ce's heart. He originally thought that the two of them could join forces and establish some achievements in such troubled times. Unexpectedly, he had to leave because of the traitor. Zhou Yu had a lot of achievements in the army.
With such great prestige, he didn't have much worry about Zhou Yu being able to gain a foothold in Jiangdong in the future.
Then Sun Ce called his clan members to give them instructions.
After finishing his posthumous duties, Sun Ce closed his eyes forever, and the generation of heroes who roamed Jiangdong came to an end.
After Sun Ce died, Sun Quan became the lord of Jiangdong. Sun Quan was born with blue eyes and purple beard, Fang Yi and a big mouth, and he was also a famous figure in Jiangdong.
Let us say that after Zhou Yu received Sun Ce's order, he led several guards to Chang'an. When he entered Chang'an, he met Jia Xu.
Jia Xu had no say in sending troops. Although he was responsible for major affairs in Chang'an, sending troops to threaten Nanyang County would mean breaking with Cao Cao. At this time, Lu Bu was leading troops to attack Wei Li. Once Cao Cao attacked in anger,
Chang'an's words will definitely lead to unnecessary war.
However, the benefits of sending troops to threaten Nanyang are huge. Cao Cao's strength is growing day by day, and there is no war this year. If Cao Cao is allowed to develop like this, he will definitely become a strong enemy of Chang'an, and Jiangdong and Cao Cao
Generally speaking, everyone may be Lu Bu's enemy.
Jia Xu was extremely cautious about trusting the princes. Especially after the princes jointly attacked Huguan, he naturally would not trust the princes' words. In Jia Xu's heart, these princes would all be Lu Bu's enemies.
.
After uniting with Sun Ce, Cao Jun can be plunged into war. It is best to fight to the death with Jiangdong. In fact, with Jia Xu's current power in Chang'an City, he can mobilize the army to Wuguan to deter Nanyang County, but Jia Xu is
A person who knows how to be wise and protect one's own safety. Although he has changed a lot under Lu Bu's rule over the years, he still adheres to this principle. As a minister, if the monarch feels threatened, he will definitely not end well.
Regardless of his current prominent position in Chang'an City, without Lu Bu's trust, everything in front of him would be a passing thing. Naturally, Jia Xu would not allow this to happen. He could only ask Zhou Yu to wait in the city and send a quick horse to handle the matter.
Inform Lu Bu.
Zhou Yu also knew that this matter was related to the overall situation of Chang'an, so he temporarily stayed in Chang'an City to wait.
Chang'an was the original capital of the Han Dynasty. The scale of the city gave people a sense of solemnity, far beyond what other cities could compare with. After being governed by officials under Lu Bu's command, Zhou Yu could deeply feel the changes in Chang'an at this time.
.
There were more and more merchants in the city and people passing by. Especially from the looks of the people, Zhou Yu saw that they were satisfied. This kind of situation was rare even in Jiangdong.
The deeper you get to know Lu Bu, the more you can feel the horror of Lu Bu. Who would have thought that a military general could have such methods in governing the place? At first, other princes underestimated Lu Bu.
When entering the Chang'an Academy, Zhou Yu encountered no obstruction. After walking around the academy, Zhou Yu's expression became more solemn. The academy was one of Lu Bu's means of confronting the aristocratic families, and the division of land was to allow the aristocratic families to dominate the common people.
influence has been reduced to a minimum.
There are more than a thousand students in the school in Chang'an. The school here is not comparable to the schools in other places, but any student who can enter the Chang'an school is also the best among the schools in other places.
How terrifying these students will be once they truly grow up. Through the school, Zhou Yu once again realized Lu Bu's ambition. By doing this, Lu Bu has completely put the family on the opposite side and does not rely on the talents provided by the family.
, the talents in the school are enough to govern the local area, which can weaken the influence of the aristocratic family on the governance to the greatest extent.
Zhou Yu is very clear about how powerful the family is. When he was in Jiangdong, Sun Ce had to comfort the family. Under Lu Bu's rule, the family was completely honest. Moreover, Lu Bu treated the family that left under his rule.
No action was taken. The cleaner the family leaves, the better for Lu Bu.
Now that Lu Bu is becoming more and more powerful, there are only a few families who choose to leave. What's more, under Lu Bu's rule, as long as they follow the rules, they can still gain a lot of benefits.
Although there are students in the schools who can be used to govern the place, the overall quality of the students in these schools is much worse than that of the children of the aristocratic families. The aristocratic families also send their family members to the officialdom in an attempt to obtain better results.
many official positions, thus allowing the family to be preserved.
The Chang'an Mansion did not stop the children of aristocratic families from entering the officialdom. It would be better if these officials behaved themselves, otherwise, the family would be in trouble. As long as Lu Bu was strong enough, these aristocratic families could only obey the rules obediently.
