Zhuge Song had already left Luoyang, and the secret envoy of the Wei State traveling with him was still Zhang Jin, because Zhang Jin had a place of residence with the State of Wu.
It is more than a thousand miles away from Luoyang to Jianye, but a few people take the main road, and they can exchange horses from the official post city, but it does not take long. Even though Zhuge Song and others did not walk very fast, in mid-March
We arrived in the Jiangbei area and only stayed near Laoshan. Crossing the river was Jianye.
At this time, Zhuge Ke, who was in Jianye's mansion, suddenly learned that Zhu En, the regular servant of Sanqi, was visiting, so he invited him to his room to meet him.
Zhu En hurriedly told a secret matter. He heard a news. Zhongshu ordered Sun Hong to set up an ambush inside the palace gate when Zhuge Ke entered the palace to discuss matters, and then accused Zhuge Ke of treason with the enemy.
Attack and kill Zhuge Ke!
Zhuge Ke was shocked and asked if the news was accurate. Who told it? Zhu En said it was from Sun Jun, the general of Weiwei. Sun Hong made his own decision under the order of Zhongshu, and did not discuss it with Sun Jun, but Sun Jun noticed it.
A clue came out.
For a while, Zhuge Ke couldn't tell whether the matter was true or false, but at least he was sure that Sun Hong really had a motive!
Sun Hong, who was the Secretary of the Central Committee, had always been at odds with Zhuge Ke. Moreover, because of the conflict between Sun Ba and Sun He, the two had a lot of grudges. After the death of the great emperor, Zhuge Ke was also preparing to replace Sun Hong. Such a
He was really not at ease when someone controlled the imperial edict. Therefore, it was not impossible for Sun Hong to be afraid of being tricked by Zhuge Ke and wanted to strike first to gain advantage!
Moreover, Sun Hong does have such courage! Zhuge Ke suspected that the edict given to the prime minister Zhu Ju before his death was a false edict. Who else but Sun Hong could issue the edict? But Sun Hong was appointed by the great emperor.
The auxiliary minister also and Sun Jun, the general of Kuiwei,
After all the princesses had made friends, Zhuge Ke was a little hesitant about how to deal with the matter.
Zhu En left soon. Two days later, Zhuge Ke went out and met Sun Jun on the way back. The two got off the car and met each other. When Sun Jun approached, he said something calmly, saying that General Zhuge was sometimes careless.
You should be more cautious these days!
Sun Jun and Zhuge Ke already had some disputes over some things. For example, Sun Jun took it upon himself to tell the emperor about the whereabouts of Queen Pan, and Zhuge Ke was not very happy. However, Sun Jun and Zhuge Ke had a very close personal relationship in the past.
, there was no grudge between Sun He and King Lu. Whenever something happened in Jianye, Sun Jun would send someone to tell Zhuge Ke quietly.
Now with Sun Jun's words, Zhuge Ke has almost made up his mind!
Just after returning to the mansion, Zhuge Ke met the officials who sent the edict from Zhongshu Province again. Tomorrow, His Majesty will summon the ministers at the Shenlong Palace to order Weibei General Zhuge Ke and others to discuss matters.
After receiving this edict, Zhuge Ke felt that Sun Hong was already ready! It seemed that the matter was imminent, and it was no longer necessary to delay, and he should continue to suffer from the chaos!
Zhuge Ke quickly made arrangements in the mansion and immediately sent people to invite several people to come to the mansion to discuss matters. The invitees were his nephew Zhang Zhen, his subordinate Shi Bao and others, and of course Zhongshu Ling Sun Hong! The messenger told Sun Hong,
Attendant Sun Jun, his relative Sun He and others will also be present.
At first Zhuge Ke thought that Sun Hong might not be willing to come, but he didn't expect that he arrived not long after! Probably because Sun Hong heard that Sun Jun, Sun He and others were also there, and was afraid that everyone would go behind his back to discuss the post of Zhongshuling.
The issue of appointment and dismissal.
Sun Hong was invited and walked to the door of the hall. When he saw
The people inside suddenly became suspicious and immediately raised their hands and said, "I remembered that there is something left on the carriage."
Zhuge Ke's subordinate officials immediately grabbed Sun Hong's sleeves and said, "Just send someone to get it. Please ask Zhongshu Ling to come to the table first."
Sun Hong's expression changed and he said: "Sun Shizhong hasn't arrived yet, so it won't be too late for me to come back later."
Zhuge Ke made a quick decision and stood up immediately and said, "What are you waiting for?"
Immediately, guards rushed over from all directions. Sun Hong's eyes widened and he hurriedly pulled out his sword with a "swish" sound. At this time, Zhuge Ke had already raised his sword in front of Sun Hong and aimed it at his chest. "
"Ah!" he yelled. Sun Hong covered his chest with his sword hand and pointed at Zhuge Ke: "Why, you..."
The guards had rushed to the side, and they all picked up their swords and stabbed Sun Hong. In an instant, Sun Hong was covered in blood and fell into a pool of blood.
Zhuge Ke bent down and wiped the sword with Sun Hong's robe, put it back into the scabbard, then calmly turned around, looked at his astonished relatives and subordinates, raised his hand and said: "Zi Yuan (Sun Jun) reported,
Sun Hong had ulterior motives and wanted to kill me as a false edict. But now that he has been executed, there is no need for you to panic. Come and serve me some wine!"
During the dinner, Zhang Zhen finally spoke up and said: "Your Majesty is not in charge of the government personally. Why did Sun Hong use the imperial edict to harm his uncle?"
Zhuge Ke snorted coldly and said: "This thief wants to falsely accuse me of treason with the enemy. It is absolutely ridiculous! I fought for Wu State in the south and north. In the battle of Dongguan, I killed very few Wei soldiers. How can I be treason with the enemy?"
The guards came forward and were dragging away Sun Hong's body, but Master Sima was still observing Sun Hong on the ground, looking thoughtful. Zhuge Ke asked, "What do you think of Zi Yuan?"
Sima Shi Gongshou Dao
: "No, I didn't expect it beforehand. I was very surprised when something like this happened suddenly."
Zhuge Ke nodded and asked no more questions. Since he invited a few guests, Zhuge Ke drank with everyone to calm down their shock. There was a "swish" at the door, and the guards poured the entire bucket of water on the ground and poured a large amount of water into it.
The blood washed away.
Of course, there are still some troubles in this matter. Just dragging Sun Hong's body away will not solve the problem. After all, Sun Hong is Zhongshu Ling, and there must be an explanation for killing him. But the matter is relatively clear, and Sun Jun told him personally
Zhuge Ke's confidant Zhu En reminded him in person this morning that a few words can make the right and wrong clear!
In the afternoon, Sun Hei came. When he saw Zhuge Ke, he said, Your Majesty will summon the ministers at the Shenlong Hall tomorrow, but this is not an imperial edict. Please Zhuge Ke still obey the edict and go to the Shenlong Hall tomorrow to explain today's affairs to the ministers.
The new emperor is less than ten years old, so obviously the ministers and the princess have the final say on everything, but the edict is still an edict! Logically speaking, Zhuge Ke can only go to Taichu Palace to pay an audience, unless he wants to resist the edict.
Zhuge Ke had a vague feeling that something was not good. But after thinking about it carefully, this matter should not be a big problem. Besides, before killing Sun Hong, he had to explain it clearly to several auxiliary ministers.
Early the next morning, Zhuge Ke was dressing up and preparing to enter the palace. At this time, he suddenly smelled a smell on his clothes, so he ordered someone to get another official uniform and went to wash his face. He smelled a smell in the water. He immediately called his maid
When he came to smell it, the maid said there was no smell, which made Zhuge Ke feel a little strange.
A group of people took a bus to the Taichu Palace. Zhuge Ke entered through the bus door and immediately met his man Zhu En. The great emperor was on the throne.
At that time, Zhu En was appointed to take charge of a group of palace guards as a casual knight; another casual knight, Zhang Yue, was recommended by Zhuge Ke after the new emperor Sun Liang ascended the throne.
Zhu En whispered in his ear: "The people outside the Dragon Palace are different today. General, it is better to come back another day."
Zhuge Ke said in a deep voice: "Isn't that disobedience to the imperial edict?"
Zhu En came up with an idea: "After a while, the servant reported to Your Majesty that the general suddenly had unbearable abdominal pain and had to go back for medical treatment."
Zhuge Ke was very hesitant for a moment. He had already walked to the bus door. If he went back like this, wouldn't he be escaping from the battlefield, as if he was afraid of others?
At this moment, General Sun Jun and Taichang Teng Yin came to the bus door together. Zhu En immediately stopped talking and saluted by the roadside. Zhuge Ke didn't have time to think too much, so he immediately pressed his abdomen with his hands and forced
He cupped his hands and said, "I suddenly felt cramping in my abdomen. I'm sorry."
The two bowed and bowed in return. Teng Yin looked at Zhuge Ke and said, "General, why don't you go back first and ask the doctor to come and take a look?"
Sun Jun also observed Zhuge Ke's expression and said: "Since General Zhuge is unwell, please ask me to take leave for the general. During the discussion, I can help the general make it clear. If the general has other matters to report, now
Tell me, when you get to the palace, I will play your Majesty's tune."
Hearing that Sun Jun also advised him, Zhuge Ke didn't want to go back. After all, when others speak for him, it will always be different. Only he can try his best to get a favorable judgment for himself! Moreover, Sun Jun and Sun Hong are still different.
Although they both supported King Lu, Sun Jun and Zhuge Ke had no personal grudges.
Zhuge Ke straightened up, exhaled a long breath, and said: "Now
I'm getting better now, but the pain is coming from time to time."
Seeing this, Sun Jun said: "Then we will go to see you now."
June next to him looked worried, but since outsiders were present, he didn't say anything more.
Several people then climbed onto the platform together and entered the Shenlong Hall. At this time, the auxiliary ministers and several officials had arrived, but the main seat above was still empty, and His Majesty had not arrived. Everyone bowed to each other and greeted each other, and took their seats at the banquet first.
Wait.
Not long after the death of the great emperor, the maids came up with tea to entertain the ministers instead of serving drinks. Sun Jun raised the bowl and motioned to Zhuge Ke, "Please."
Zhuge Ke said: "I dare not drink water for the time being."
Sun Jun suddenly nodded and said: "You really shouldn't eat or drink casually if you have abdominal pain, otherwise the pain will come back after a while."
After Zhuge Ke heard this, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief and felt that nothing happened today. Zhu En was probably too nervous because he heard about Sun Hong's conspiracy.
Thinking about it, this is also the case. The Zhuge family is a big family. There is not only Zhuge Ke, but also relatives and friends who are married, and old friends and subordinates. The people on King Lu's side are crazy, so they dare to poison him easily? Let's talk about the relationship between Sun He and King Lu.
The battle has ended, and now Sun Liang has ascended the throne. At this time, both Sun Luban and the Quan family, as well as the people on Sun He's side, should work together to resolve the conflicts and maintain the new government.
At this time, Sun Jun came a little closer to this side, turned sideways and whispered softly: "Has the general thought about what to say?"
Zhuge Ke thought that the matter was not complicated, so he said: "What General Sun told Zhu Changshi..." Sun Jun looked around and immediately nodded: "I know." Zhuge Ke then said: "That's easy to explain."
