Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Chapter 717 Questioning Cao Pi's Identity

Hu Ke's suggestion was unconstrained, Sun Quan walked slowly back to his seat and sat down, without speaking for a long time.

"My lord, you don't have to accept it. You can discuss it with Mr. Zibu in many ways. You will end up doing business in the firm for a long time. I am used to looking at problems from the perspective of business, so it may not be appropriate." Seeing Sun Quan's solemn expression, Hu Ke was worried that he would disturb Jiangdong's real purpose. found out, so he quickly supplemented the cover-up.

Sun Quan shook his head and waved his hands: "Although Zecheng's idea is a philistine, it will have the effect of killing one's life and becoming a benevolent after breaking it. This is just treating Ziming too lightly."

"My lord, if you really want to adopt it, you can't say it yourself. It's better to find someone to put forward your opinion on your behalf, otherwise it will affect your prestige." Hu Ke continued to suggest.

"Zecheng is thoughtful." When Sun Quan nodded, he began to screen the candidates in his mind.

The Battle of Jingzhou not only damaged the vitality of the entire Jiangdong, the Huaisi military general group also died in this battle, and the military power of the entire Jiangdong gradually fell into the hands of the gentry. This is actually not what Sun Quan wants to see, so it is necessary to 'smear' the Lu family The Jiangdong gentry came to the fore.

"What do you think of Huishu?" Sun Quan asked suddenly.

Hu Ke was taken aback, and replied with a wry smile: "Hui Shu and the Zhang family have no military power, so it might not be appropriate for him to do this."

"What Zecheng said is true, you go back to the firm first, I'll think about it later." Sun Quan frowned.

"Wei." Hu Ke cupped his fists and left.

"Although Brother Sima is young, he is from a prominent family after all, so you must not underestimate Brother Sima. If you really use your method, Brother Sima will be difficult for me to use. It is better to send them back to Wei State, so as not to stay in Jiangdong to get in the way. " Sun Quan added.

"The last general will be spared." Hu Ke nodded.

Pushing Lu Ba to take the blame will inevitably implicate the entire Lu family, and even the Huaisi Group, which is not beneficial to the balance of Jiangdong. Sun Quan finally adopted Zhang Zhao's method to stabilize the current situation by dragging words.

Sima's extermination case continued to be postponed, Lu Ba's assassination case because the suspect Chang Gao disappeared, Sun Quan could only continue to procrastinate, and the Han Dang case had reached a settlement with the 'victim's family', so it was not within the scope of Sun Quan's headache.

With the end of Lu Ba's funeral, the Lu family's focus gradually weakened. The Xing prison office in Jianye City had no clue.

The news that Han Zong won the award gradually spread back to the ears of the Lu family. Only then did they realize that honesty and loyalty are useless. Only children who can cry can have milk. Find some upper-level motivation for Lu Ba's matter, and hope that this matter will not be left as it is.

Lu Cong was born as the eldest son of a concubine, and the inferiority complex engraved in his bones made him not as confident as Han Zong. He didn't survive two rounds in front of Sun Quan, but he hung his head and didn't know how to refute.

Seeing that Lu Cong's "honesty" was unbearable, Sun Quan comforted him: "Zhong Han (Lv Ba) was assassinated, and I feel deeply sorry. The family has to appoint the head of the family, otherwise Ziming (Lu Meng) will not be at peace underground."

"Shu Dan (Lu Mu) is still young, and it may be difficult to manage the family alone. The uncles in the family are willing to help, so there is no result of the discussion yet." Lu Cong shook his head lightly.

After hearing this, Sun Quan frowned and said angrily: "It's unreasonable. What do those collateral people want to do? Isn't Shudan young and Meng Ze just right? Gu will be the master of the Lu family today, and order you to inherit Ziming's Xunxiang Marquis."

Lu Meng made a lot of contributions to Sun Quan during his lifetime. When he became the governor, Sun Quan had some troubles. In order to make up for his mistakes, Sun Quan made Lu Meng the Marquis of Xunxiang. After his death, his son Lu Ba took over the title. Mu Xijue, but Sun Quan deliberately put Lu Cong on the throne, in addition to pitying the "honesty" of the people in front of him, it also meant to let the Lu family fight among themselves.

The Lu family is now headed by a concubine son, and those in the family will inevitably fight for their own interests, so they don't have the heart to trouble Sun Quan like Han Zong did.

"My lord, this...isn't it appropriate?" Lu Cong swallowed.

"What's inappropriate? If the Lu family disagrees, I can take back the title." Sun Quan replied coldly.

"Uh, I will obey orders." No matter how honest Lu Cong was, he did not dare to refuse Sun Quan. He thought that if he made a fool of himself, it would be a fatal blow to the Lu family.

Sun Quan's repeated operations to treat the symptoms but not the root cause finally stabilized the restless Jiangdong, and he was able to calm down to shoot tigers and read newspapers.

Sun and Liu negotiated to reopen the Yangtze River route. The rich merchants in Jiangdong, headed by Yu's business line, used the property they earned from Wei to repurchase goods from Jingzhou, Yizhou, and Jiaozhou. The Yangtze River News also blatantly flowed into Jiangdong.

Starting from the sixth issue of the second year of Yankang, the Yangtze River Daily made a large-scale commentary on Wei's usurpation of the throne. It was published one after another like a serial drama. , Yu Fan and others are among them, and the most exciting article scolding Cao Wei is Zhuge Liang, the prime minister of the King of Hanzhong.

The first pot of gold was somewhat disgraceful. Zhuge Liang used all kinds of scandals of the Cao family to start with, scolding the Cao family thoroughly with the method of raising first and then suppressing.

When scolding Cao Pi, Zhuge Liang also started from the other party's background, and bluntly said that Mrs. Bian was born in a family of prostitutes. It ends with Mrs. Bian's phrase "a dog and a rat will not eat you", echoing Cao Pi's despicable truth.

The Yangtze River News once ridiculed Sun Quan, Lu Meng and others, so it has only been circulated among the people in Jiangdong. After reading a few installments, I was fascinated by it.

When Sun Quan saw the Changjiang News insulting Cao's family publicly, he felt a sick feeling, and gradually became a loyal reader of the Changjiang News, and asked Hu Ke to send someone to Jingzhou to guard the publication of the Changjiang News, as long as there was no derogatory content about Jiangdong. They can be ordered in large quantities, shipped to Jiangdong and resold at a higher price to the common people of the gentry, making Yu's firm and Sun Quan a lot of money.

When Sun Quan read that Zhuge Liang 'speculated' that Cao Pi was not the son of Cao Cao, he couldn't help but applaud everyone: "Ziyu, Mr. Kong Ming is really a genius, and I don't know how Cao Pi felt about it."

Zhuge Jin wiped his forehead and didn't know how to answer. Zhang Zhao next to him cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Cao Pi has been enthroned by Zen for a year. This kind of newspaper that belittles the Cao family may not be able to enter the court of Wei State."

"It's a pity." Sun Quan stroked the corner of his purple beard and raised his mouth, and all the officials in the palace were enjoying themselves in the newspaper.

While everyone was discussing whose article was outstanding, Sun Quan's guards rushed into the palace to report that Wei Guotai Chang Xing Zhen was ordered by Emperor Wei to go to Jiangdong and refused to get out of the car at the gate of the palace.
