Chapter 766: Suspected to be a token of congratulation, but actually poison(1/2)

In November of the sixth year of Emperor Zhangwu of the Han Dynasty.

As the land of China is about to enter a new year, and Sun Quan's birthday is coming soon, the atmosphere in Jianye City, located on the left side of the Yangtze River, has been very lively these days.

Due to Sun Quan's deliberate concealment, the news of the missing state mausoleum was not widely circulated in Jianye City.

Of course, it would be impossible to completely hide the news.

But Zhouling is not as famous as the police.

The Zhou Tomb is not within the territory of Jiangdong. Except for the imperial court that has a map of Jingzhou, even if ordinary people know the fact that the Zhou Tomb is lost, they cannot realize how much risk it will bring to the Wu army.

For the people who knew the news, they may only think that Wu Jun lost only an "insignificant" city due to carelessness.

Compared with Wu Jun's impressive martial arts in suppressing the police, what does the loss of a mere state mausoleum count?

Jianye was located on the left side of the Yangtze River, and there was no sound of war for decades.

In the past few decades, a life of extravagance and extravagance has been the main theme in Jianye City.

Under this main theme, the spirits of most people in Jianye City have been paralyzed.

But, Sun Quan is not as ignorant as ordinary people.

Sun Quan, who read the map of Jingzhou every year, knew how important Zhouling City was to the Wu army entering Jingzhou.

So when Sun Quan just received the news that the state mausoleum was lost and Pan Zhang died in battle, he was on the verge of anger.

Fortunately, when Sun Quan was about to vent his anger, Lu Xun's conciliatory memorial was delivered in time.

In Lu Xun's memorial, Lu Xun profoundly explained the weakness of the Han army - "The loss of the state mausoleum is the death struggle of the rebel army."

Then Lu Xun tried his best to appease Sun Quan in the memorial - "May your Majesty endure your anger for a few days, and I will do my best to make the war situation peaceful and clear again!"

After reading the contents of Lu Xun's memorial, Sun Quan indeed suppressed his inner anger.

It is true that the loss of Zhouling was a fact that Sun Quan was unwilling to accept.

But as Lu Xun said, the Han army had two fatal weaknesses: lack of food and strong enemies in the north.

Moreover, although Zhouling was lost, the main force of the Wu army was not damaged.

In addition, Sun Quan also recognized Lu Xun's ability.

Lu Xun could seize the opportunity and invade the hinterland of Jingzhou in one fell swoop despite Han Zong's hidden dangers inside.

This kind of ability is only higher than that of Lu Meng back then.

At least from the overall situation, the confrontation between Lu Xun and Mi Yang was basically in a state of back and forth.

Facing such a powerful enemy as Mi Yang, it is not incomprehensible that Lu Xun was careless and encountered some setbacks.

Under the above psychological consolation, Sun Quan quickly chose to believe what Lu Xun said.

Regarding Lu Xun's loss of the state mausoleum, Sun Quan not only did not issue an edict to reprimand him, but instead sent an envoy to comfort him.

In addition, in order to prevent Lu Xun from having any worries, Sun Quan also strictly prohibited the news of the missing state mausoleum from spreading in Jianye City.

Sun Quan did this, on the one hand, to reduce the criticism of Lu Xun from some "unreasonable" ministers, and on the other hand, he also wanted to stabilize people's hearts.

In terms of controlling the government, Sun Quan is the strongest among the three emperors in the world today.

As long as he himself does not lose his composure, then under his pressure, there will indeed be no unscrupulous ministers who dare to talk about the loss of the state mausoleum.

Self-soothing is deceptive.

At the beginning, Sun Quan may have been worried about the war on the front line.

But as time passed and Sun Quan never received worse battle reports, Sun Quan only believed that Lu Xun had successfully stabilized the situation.

This made Sun Quan seem to have forgotten about the loss of Zhou Ling.

In order to further stabilize people's hearts, Sun Quan plans to make special arrangements for this year's birthday.

After Sun Quan's decree to solemnly celebrate his birthday was issued, Wu Chen in Jianye City was no longer so worried.

The general's military information has always been sent directly to His Majesty.

Now that His Majesty is still in the mood to celebrate his birthday, this is enough to show that the military situation on the front line is not serious.

Has there even been a turnaround?

Such thoughts appeared in the minds of many Wu Chen, which allowed them to put down their worries and cater to Sun Quan.

With Wu Chen's wholehearted catering, Sun Quan's birthday ceremony began to be organized in full swing.

Mountains of tributes were continuously transported into Jianye City under the transportation of officials from various places.

The wide and continuous streets, under the arrangement of Taichang officials, are hung with red lanterns day and night.

All of a sudden, hundreds of thousands of people inside and outside Jianye City learned that Sun Quan was going to organize a grand birthday party.

Although the common people were not able to participate in Sun Quan's birthday ceremony, Sun Quan issued an edict to reduce the taxes of the common people in Jianye for one year in order to enjoy it with the people.

Such an edict that benefited the people naturally aroused the joy of the people inside and outside Jianye City.

Before Sun Quan's birthday came, people's praise for Sun Quan had already spread in the streets and alleys of Jianye City.

The praises that filled the city like a flood poured into the palace under the guidance of thoughtful people, making Sun Quan smile with joy.

Sun Quan felt that he had not been so happy in many years.

And today, as Taichang Gu Yong carried the newly spun uniforms to Sun Quan, the joy in Sun Quan's heart reached another peak.

Seeing the golden dragon flying in his eyes and the auspicious purple clouds in his eyes, Sun Quan couldn't help but stand up and walk towards it.

In order to make Sun Quan wear the extraordinary military uniform for his birthday this year, Taichang Gu Yong summoned the first-class skillful people in Jiangdong.

Many Jiangdong's skilled hands worked day and night in the palace, and just three days before his birthday, they weaved this robe that fascinated Sun Quan.

Before and after arriving at the elegant and luxurious Gun's clothes, Sun Quan subconsciously reached out and touched the clothes.

As soon as his hands touched the robe, Sun Quan felt the delicate and extraordinary feeling.

This feeling made Sun Quan realize that the materials of the uniform in front of him must be of excellent quality.

"Okay, okay, okay!"

Sun Quan couldn't help but sigh sincerely.

"Yuan Tan is thoughtful."

After sighing, Sun Quan did not forget to praise Gu Yong.

Gu Yong, who was praised by Sun Quan, bowed slightly to Sun Quan:

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "The clothes of an emperor should have the spirit of an emperor!"

After hearing Gu Yong's words, Sun Quan burst into laughter.

Gu Yong is not only considerate in his work, but also speaks beautifully.

The spirit of an emperor!

Gu Yong's words couldn't help but make Sun Quan look forward to it:

Three days later, when he wore this set of robes that symbolized the supreme being in the world and accepted congratulations from hundreds of officials in front of the main hall, what an unforgettable scene it would be.

"Yuantan, with your talent, how can you be so unworthy of Taichang?"

In his excitement, Sun Quan said this to Gu Yong.

This sentence made Gu Yong very happy.

The emperor has no jokes.

Taichang is already the Jiuqing. If Taichang is not able to match his talents, he will be the Third Duke!

Gu Yong was overjoyed and wanted to thank Sun Quan.

However, before Gu Yong could speak, Shiyi came to Sun Quan holding a memorial in his hand.

Seeing Shi Yi arriving, Gu Yong quickly shut his mouth, and even Sun Quan frowned slightly.

Gu Yong and Sun Quan behaved this way because of Shiyi's special status.

Since the Battle of Chibi, Shiyi has been Sun Quan's secretary, responsible for organizing and delivering the reports to the generals.

After the Battle of Public Security, what Shiyi sent to Sun Quan was always unfavorable military information.

This made everyone, including Wu Junchen and others, feel a little shadowy in their hearts.

After Shiyi arrived, Sun Quan asked him somewhat uneasily:

"But the general has sent you the latest military information?"

When asking this question, Sun Quan kept silently praying in his heart - it must not be the military information sent by Lu Xun!

For Sun Quan, the best situation was that there was no latest military information on the front line.

Otherwise, there are too many variables.

Perhaps it was Sun Quan's inner prayer that had the effect.

Shiyi bowed to Sun Quan and said:
