Chapter 63 Change
Sun Quan followed Zu Mao to the high wall next to the main entrance. Under the cover of the night, he secretly looked out and found that there was indeed a rush of people outside. Teams of soldiers were moving with torches, and the atmosphere seemed tense and severe.
What exactly happened? Sun Quan kept thinking, unless He Jin died during this period, it should be nothing big, right?
Zu Mao, who was standing beside him, suddenly said,
"Second Young Master, look at the formation of those soldiers, it's a bit strange."
"oh?"
Sun Quan took back his thoughts and continued to look out, and immediately understood Zu Mao's meaning.
"You mean, most of the soldiers turned their backs to us, as if they were protecting us?"
"That's right." Zu Mao nodded. If it was targeting them, he would have to face their mansion. If it was a normal patrol, he would have been alert to both sides. But now these soldiers completely ignored their side, as if there was no one here, so there was only one possibility. They regarded this side as their confidant and were protecting this place!
Sun Quan's heart moved. First of all, it was certain that something must have happened, otherwise no one would have protected him. And in today's capital, Sun Quan, and has the ability to mobilize soldiers, is basically about to come out.
Yuan Shu, this cheap father-in-law is really good to him.
"Let Zhou Tai go out and ask, see what happened." Sun Quan said.
"Yes." Zu Mao immediately went to make arrangements.
After a while, Zhou Tai returned. Sure enough, the soldiers outside came from the Hu Ben Army and were Yuan Shu's people. They did not hide the problem of Zhou Tai.
"Second Young Master, I heard from outside that General He Jin had personally led people to surround the mansion of General Dong Chong, the cavalry. Lord Yuan was worried that there would be any abnormal movements among all parties, so he sent them to protect you, and said that if possible, I hope you can move to Yuan's mansion recently. In addition..." As he said that, Zhou Tai suddenly lowered his voice, "I heard that the palace had also changed tonight."
Sun Quan's face changed. Sure enough, his brother Qin was completely distracted. He also swears that there will be no twists and turns, and that Empress Dowager He would only put pressure in the palace. As a result, before the day was over, the person came directly, and it was still inside and outside the palace to take action at the same time! The He family is going to completely destroy the Dong family! I just don't know if Dong Zhuo will be implicated, or that Dong Zhuo has already completely stood on He Jin's side?
For a moment, Sun Quan was speechless about Qin Chuan. In his impression, weren’t the people in Cihang Jingzhai all very awesome? Not to mention the victory thousands of miles away, at least they played with major forces in applause. Why did Qin Chuan mess up the matter at the first time, and even smash it so directly! At this moment, Sun Quan had serious doubts about Qin Chuan’s ability. No, he could no longer act completely according to Qin Chuan’s plan. It’s not that Sun Quan could not trust Qin Chuan, but that Qin Chuan was completely likely to “do bad things with good intentions”. Sun Quan must completely take his destiny into his own hands to achieve it!
On this day, I don’t know how many people in the capital haven’t been asleep all night.
Empress Dowager Dong's nephew, General He Jin's cavalry, was surrounded by heavy troops in his house. He knew he was unable to turn the world back and committed suicide in the house. On the same day, Empress Dowager Dong and Yu Yongle Palace suddenly became ill and died. The palace was covered in plain clothes and the whole city was martial law. Cai Wenji's plan was still in the womb and he was unable to leave the city for the time being.
······
Early the next morning, Qin Chuan came to find Sun Quan as usual.
"Haha, Brother Qin seems to have not slept well last night?" Sun Quan said deliberately. No accident, Qin Chuan may not have slept all night.
"This is today's question, please remember it." Qin Chuan directly handed Sun Quan the questions and answers he prepared.
Sun Quan took it and unexpectedly said,
"Oh? If something happened so big, I'll go to the palace today?"
"We can't decide whether to go or not. We can't use it today, so we'll be tomorrow." Qin Chuan said.
"I wonder what Brother Qin has to say about what happened last night?" Sun Quan asked.
"You don't have to be too careful, everything is still under control." Qin Chuan replied.
Sun Quan curled his lips and said, "Just be stubborn." Perhaps it has not caused the worst incident yet, but the direction of things has exceeded your original idea, right?"
Sun Quan was right, Qin Chuan's heart was far less calm than he showed. Don't forget that Qin Chuan's real age was only about fourteen or five years old. Qin Chuan might not have too much pressure on him, but like yesterday, a major instant event that could determine the future direction of the Han Dynasty was far from being able to bear the pressure of Qin Chuan's small shoulders.
It can be said that even if everything goes as expected, Qin Chuan will sweat afterwards, and such a big change has happened now. The so-called calmness is made by Qin Chuan. He does not pretend to be for others to show, but for him to show himself, because the more critical the moment, the more trouble it cannot happen, the more calm it needs!
Fortunately, because of Sun Quan's lazy yesterday, Qin Chuan had already written a letter to Zhaili for help, and was looking forward to it, so Qin Chuan successfully persevered. Otherwise, the last straw might overwhelm him at any time!
The two of them came to the Taifu Mansion and learned that Yuan Wei had not returned to the morning court. It seemed that the court was really in trouble today, and it was a bit exaggerated. The ministers might even have to keep lunch in the palace for lunch.
However, as Qin Chuan said, it is not their decision to whether they will attend classes today, so the two of them dare not go far and could only prepare at all times. This gave Sun Quan and Qin Chuan a very rare time to be alone.
"I will move to the mansion of Yuan Shu, the general of the Hu Ben, later today. Starting tomorrow, Brother Qin remembers to find me there." Sun Quan said to Qin Chuan.
"Yeah." Qin Chuan nodded subconsciously. He was distracted all morning.
"You want to move to Yuan Shu's mansion?" Qin Chuan suddenly asked, as if he had realized what Sun Quan had just said.
Sun Quan: "What?"
Qin Chuan hesitated for a moment and spoke softly,
"Zhongmou, can you please do me a favor?"
"Oh?" Sun Quan's eyes moved, "Speak for a look?"
Qin Chuan's face darkened and he said seriously,
"I want to know the details of General He Jin's move against Dong Chong. Before taking action, it was always discussed within the General's Mansion."
"So that's it." Sun Quan thought for a while and realized Qin Chuan's intention, "Brother Qin, do you think that General He Jin's attack on Dong Chong has nothing to do with you, right?"
"It doesn't matter whether it has something to do with me." Qin Chuan shook his head, "It's just that based on my understanding of He Jin, he is not as decisive as a person."
It’s not that Qin Chuan wanted to shirk responsibility, but that even if Empress Dowager He really wanted to attack Empress Dowager Dong and consulted with He Jin, they could not make a decision for a while with He Jin’s personality. It was unimaginable that he took action so quickly, so Qin Chuan wondered whether He Jin had made a decision long ago, but yesterday’s incident gave him an opportunity. Or, He Jin suddenly got some very conclusive evidence that Dong Chong wanted to harm him, which made He Jin dare not delay at all. He immediately took the initiative and destroyed Dong Chong!
"Brother Qin, do you want to say that there is another person behind the scenes?" Sun Quan narrowed his eyes. Qin Chuan had an extraordinary intuition.
