Farmers of Shu Han

Chapter 1329 Sisters against each other
It would be wrong to say that Sun He is a fool.

Especially in terms of reading and machine change, it is quite commendable.

His flaw is that he has a serious lack of understanding of the cruelty of court battles and palace battles.

In other words, until now, he still hasn't adapted to his status as a crown prince, and the fact that Mrs. Pan's entry into the palace caused his mother to fall out of favor.

In the past, when Sun Deng was here, Sun Hezi favored all his sons because of his mother, and the rewards he received were far superior to other princes every time.

Even the crown prince, Sun Deng, expressed his intention to give up the position to him several times. One can imagine Sun He's position in the palace in the early years.

Successor Sun Deng became the crown prince, and his status has risen, which inevitably made Sun He a little swollen, and gave him an illusion:
When I was not a prince, I was so respected and favored. Now that I have become a prince, who can be more respected and favored than me?
He has been pampered since he was a child, so this is an important factor for him to succeed Sun Deng as the prince.

But it was precisely because he was too pampered or too protected that Sun He was too naive in political struggle.

Originally it was nothing.

After all, the prince is the crown prince after all, and he has the help of the prince Taifu, the prince Shaofu and others to help and teach him.

As long as the teaching is good, the prince will naturally grow up slowly.

But coincidentally, Qiqi, the crown prince Fu Kanze who originally assisted the prince, and the prince's young Fu Xue Zong, died last year, a few months earlier than the prime minister Gu Yong.

Once these two masters left, the only people left to teach the prince were Confucian scholars such as Cai Ying, Zhang Chun, Feng Ren, and Yan Wei.

When it comes to studying scriptures and educating knowledge, they must be fine.

But it would be too embarrassing for them to teach the prince how to fight for power and favor.

Apart from them, the people who can always follow the prince are basically the second and third generations.

Many of them wanted to be invited privately to gain honor, wishing to show their loyalty to King Lu every day in front of the prince.

Even those with better knowledge, such as Gu Tan, are the radicals of Prince Bao's drive to drive King Lu away, and he will not stop until King Lu is driven out of Jianye.

Let alone other people, how would they know to remind the prince what he should and should not do?
As for the important court officials like Lu Xun, Wu Can and others who support the prince, it is impossible to follow the prince's ass every day and remind him what he needs to pay attention to.

All kinds of factors added together, coupled with the viciousness of the opponent, hit the prince's life directly, forcing Mrs. Wang to die of fear and worry.

Sun He was reprimanded by Sun Quan, cut off all contacts with officials, and then his mother was forced to death, and it was like waking up from a dream:
My position is not as stable as I imagined.

Having lost his wings and suddenly lost his mother, Sun He was suddenly helpless in the palace.

Sun He, who has been pampered since he was a child, has never experienced any setbacks, and is extremely inexperienced, lost Sun Quan's favor, and his shortcomings began to be infinitely magnified.

The wisdom and insight of the past are all gone at this time.

Facing the political storm, Sun He became flustered and frightened, without any ideas.

He even became a little nervous, always suspicious and worried that his position as prince would be deposed.

The crown prince and the King of Lu were punished equally, and Sun Heruo suffered a catastrophe, but for the King of Lu, it was good news from heaven.

For King Lu’s party, what does His Majesty’s edict mean?
Does this mean that in His Majesty’s heart, King Lu is still ranked alongside the Crown Prince?

Do not!
This is a hint that they continue to attack the prince.

The prince lives in the palace, under His Majesty's nose, every move may alarm His Majesty at any time.

His Majesty's edict, there must be no way to contact the officials outside.

But King Lu is different.

Thanks to the tireless advice from the prince's party, King Lu had to move out of the palace and live in King Lu's mansion.

King Lu's actions were much freer and more convenient than those of the prince.

You can't communicate in the open, but maybe you can in private.

As for Princess Quan, the main promoter of this sacrificial incident, she never dreamed of it:
Such a move by myself can actually kill Mrs. Wang, who has been a sworn enemy for decades.

And it was within a short period of ten days.

Consciously finally venting her anger for her mother, Princess Quan was very excited and decided to push the prince down from the stage in one go.

"The four families of Wujun are the leaders of the Jiangdong family. Now the Zhang family's children are no longer in office, only Yu Lu, Gu and Zhu's three families."

Princess Quan and her Alang Quancong counted with their fingers:

"And Lu Xun was publicly reprimanded by His Majesty in court, and now he is sick at home."

"Gu Yong is dead. The second son originally offended His Majesty, but he has lost His Majesty's heart. He also supported the Crown Prince. It is unlikely that His Majesty will anger him, so there is nothing to worry about."

As the mastermind behind this incident, Princess Quan knew Sun Quan's thoughts at this time far better than anyone else.

Mrs. Wang is dead, Zhang Xiu, who asked the prince to rest at the mansion, will be safe and sound?

dream!

If Zhang Xiu can't escape, it means that Gu Cheng can't escape either.

If the fact that Zhang and Gu falsely reported their military merits was determined, how would Gu Tan, who said in the court hall, "it's fun to talk about it", how to explain it?

Isn't this false accusation and slander?
From this point of view, Lu Xun, who pleaded guilty on the spot in the court, was the wisest.

"Only Yu Zhu," said Princess Quan confidently, "I miss my little sister and marry that Zhu Zifan (i.e. Zhu Ju), so I will go to persuade her."

"I have avenged my mother, and she will be happy. I asked her to find out what Zhu Zifan said. If she can win over the Zhu family, why worry about the big thing happening?"

The Taimiao sacrificial incident gave Princess Quan great confidence, and even gave her some kind of ambition in her heart.

I remember someone Feng from the Han Dynasty once said that a woman does not give way to a man.

Thinking about it, Feng Mingwen is a famous general of a generation, and he has the most talents in the world. It is really insightful to be able to say these words.

Why can a man do it, but a woman can't do it?
What are these outstanding talents, what are the talents, what are the pillars of the country, aren't they all being manipulated by themselves?

Seeing the ambitious and obviously over-excited Princess Quan, Quan Cong became a little worried:

"Your Majesty ordered the Second Palace not to communicate with all the officials, and there was a lot of criticism in the court. Yang Qin, the envoy of the military governor, even wrote a letter recently, declaring the harm of this move."

"If Your Majesty hinders the opinions of the ministers and withdraws his order, what will you do? Why don't you just wait and see for the time being?"

Princess Quan didn't listen, instead she smiled and said:

"A concubine and a woman are not afraid. As a man, why is Alang so worried?"

"Ah Lang, don't worry, these days, concubines enter the palace every day to serve the sick, so An Neng doesn't know what His Majesty thinks?"

After finishing speaking, he asked the servants in the mansion to prepare the car and drive to Zhu's mansion.

At this time, the state of Wu placed high hopes on the cavalry army that had been established through untold hardships.

As the chief general of the cavalry army, Zhu Ju naturally had great responsibilities. He was stationed in the army day and night to train the soldiers.

At this time, in the Zhu Mansion in Jianye City, only Princess Zhu was guarding the mansion.

When Princess Zhu heard that her elder sister was coming, she was so happy that she went out to greet her personally:
"How come sister is free today?"

The two sisters grew up together in the palace, and later married important officials in the court. Coupled with the death of their mother, they met less and less frequently.

Seeing Princess Quan come to visit him at this time, how could Princess Zhu be unhappy?
The two sisters entered the mansion and sat down, talking privately.Between the words, it was inevitable to mention the recent situation.

Princess Quan asked:
"Your Majesty is sick on the couch, why doesn't my little sister visit the palace recently?"

Princess Zhu quickly cried out:
"Sister, you have wronged me. When I learned that His Majesty was ill, I asked for permission to enter the palace early. However, His Majesty didn't see anyone at that time, so there was nothing I could do."

"His Majesty's condition improved a few days ago, so I went there again. My sister was with His Majesty at that time, didn't she see me too?"

"It's not that my sister doesn't know. Now, in Zhu's mansion, I'm the only one who looks up and down. Unlike my sister, I can go out at any time."

Zhu Xiong and Zhu Sui, Zhu Ju's two sons, both entered the cavalry camp of the Han Dynasty, so they followed Zhu Ju in the camp at this time.

Princess Zhu said that it was inconvenient for her to go out, but she was not lying.

Although she and Princess Quan are siblings, their temperaments are completely different.

Compared with her elder sister, Princess Zhu has a submissive temperament and does not compete with the world. She is a typical little girl at home.

Therefore, after getting married, you usually enter the palace to pay your respects according to the etiquette.

Unlike Princess Quan, in order to slander Mrs. Wang in front of Sun Quan, she actually managed to obtain the privilege of entering and leaving the palace at any time from Sun Quan.

Princess Zhu's situation, of course, Princess Quan knew about it.

She didn't come here this time to ask questions, but to raise the topic.

But she smiled and said:
"How could I not know your difficulties? You can't go to the palace to serve His Majesty all the time, but you always go to pay homage to your mother when you have time?"

"Worshiping grandma?" Princess Zhu was slightly taken aback, "Of course I have to go to worship grandma, but why did my sister suddenly mention this?"

Although Mrs. Bu was not allowed to be a queen during her lifetime, she was buried with the ceremony of a queen after her death.

If you want to go to worship, there is naturally a process.

Even if your biological daughter is going, you must prepare in advance.

Princess Quan finally frowned when she heard Princess Zhu's words.

Is my little sister too indifferent to outside things?

She looked to the left and right, motioned to Princess Zhu to push back all the servants, and then asked:
"That bitch surnamed Wang has finally died. Isn't this a happy event? As daughters, shouldn't we tell my mother the good news?"

Regarding the long-standing grievances between her sister and Mrs. Wang, Princess Zhu also felt a little helpless.

It is common for the harem to compete for favor.

Not to mention that the fundamental reason why my mother was not allowed to be a queen was because of Prince Xuan, not Mrs. Wang.

But my sister is willing to vent her anger for my mother, and I will definitely not stop it.

But if you want to let yourself participate in this matter, that is not of much interest.

After all, my mother has gone and I have left the palace. I still have to contend with Mrs. Wang for the favor of His Majesty's harem, which is a bit confusing.

Therefore, Princess Zhu's attitude towards Princess Quan's actions is very clear:
I'm happy to see it succeed, but don't pay too much attention to it if it doesn't - Grandma was promoted by His Majesty many beauties during her lifetime.

It can be seen that he may not care about Mrs. Wang's competition for favor.

However, seeing that Princess Quan came to the door in person for this matter, Princess Zhu had no way to refuse:

"Since my sister said so, I will arrange things at home in the past few days and go to worship my mother with my sister."

When Princess Quan heard this, she raised her eyebrows and said with a triumphant smile:

"That's right! You used to say that it's pointless to entangle with that bitch, but did you ever think that today, I finally drove her to death and avenged my mother."

Princess Zhu, who originally thought that her sister was just here to remind her to pay homage to her mother, heard this and felt like a huge thunder exploded in her ears.

She opened her eyes in disbelief, and looked at Princess Quan with a look of horror on her face:

"Sister, what do you mean by that? You, you forced yourself to death..."

"No, it's not that the prince made a mistake in offering sacrifices to the ancestral temple. His Majesty was furious and reprimanded Mrs. Wang for her incompetence in educating her son. That's why Mrs. Wang..."

Because she was too frightened, Princess Zhu couldn't control herself, and she even spoke incoherently.

Princess Quan seemed very satisfied with her little sister's reaction:
"You said that the prince's sacrifice to the Ancestral Temple went wrong. How did your majesty know about it?"

"Could it be, sister you?"

"Who else but me?"

Princess Quan then explained the matter in detail.

At the end of the sentence, she said very excitedly:
"Now that the bitch surnamed Wang is dead, the crown prince's wings have been greatly damaged, and his favor has been lost. It's time to make a big effort to wipe out the grass."

"Otherwise, if the crown prince recovers, he will definitely remember his mother's hatred and take revenge."

"Little sister, there is nothing better than your husband-in-law who supports the prince and has the trust of His Majesty."

"If you can persuade General Zuo to support King Lu and try to depose the prince, then our sisters will be able to avenge our mother, and our husband will be able to support him, so why should our family worry about wealth?"

When Princess Zhu heard these words, she stood up abruptly:

"Sister, this is absolutely impossible!"

Princess Quan, who was in high spirits, did not expect her little sister to pour such a basin of cold water so simply.

She couldn't believe it and looked at Princess Zhu: "What did you say?"

Princess Zhu slowed down her tone and persuaded:
"Sister, Mrs. Wang has already been forced to death by you. Mother's revenge can be regarded as revenge. Why do you continue to force the crown prince?"

"Not to mention that since ancient times, abolishing the crown prince has been a major national event. It is extremely dangerous. If important officials are involved in it, it is still difficult to retreat, let alone us women?"

"Teaching husbands and children is what we should do. We cannot interfere with the affairs of the court."

"Sister, this matter is too dangerous, stop it."

When Princess Quan heard this, she immediately became furious. She stood up abruptly and glared at Princess Zhu:
"For so many years, I have devoted myself to avenging my mother. If you don't want to help me, have I ever said something strange?"

"Now that I have accomplished something, I don't abandon your previous act of watching from the sidelines. I cherish the love of our compatriots and sisters, so I came here specially to invite you to share the wealth."

"I didn't expect you to persuade me to stop? How can I stop! I stopped and let the prince grow up. Could he be like you in the future and let me go?"

"The prince and I have become life-and-death enemies, and it is absolutely impossible to stop. Let me ask you, are you willing to watch me be killed by the prince in the future, or are you willing to help me?"

Princess Zhu was silent for a long time before she said:

"I am just a woman, and I have never interfered with Alang's affairs in the court. As for what happens to the Zhu family, it is not Alang who has the final say. What my sister asked me to do, isn't it an attempt to embarrass my little sister?"

"Besides, the Quan family wants to support the King of Lu. My sister, as the wife of the Quan family, wants to contribute to the Quan family. My younger sister can understand."

"But my younger sister is also working for Zhu's wife. I dare not say that I will work for Zhu's family. I just ask my sister not to force my younger sister. Can't my sister understand this?"

Princess Quan was at a loss for words for a moment, and then became angry from embarrassment:
"If my mother knew that under the yellow soil, she gave birth to such a ruthless and unjust daughter like you, who didn't want to avenge her mother, but even wanted to support her enemy, she would definitely regret giving birth to you!"

The words were not speculative, and the two sisters broke up unhappy.
