The Three Kingdoms

"Stop it!"

"If you don't kiss, I won't get up!"

In the inner hall of Fengyi Hall, it took Cai Yan a long time to pull Sun Quan, a super lazy man, out of the soft and gentle village.

Although she is a queen, she has always been used to changing Sun Quan's clothes in person. She put on a brocade white robe for Sun Quan with a pair of jade hands, then tied the jade belt, and said suddenly: "Husband, I heard that Sheng Yuan and Yuan Bao had a falling out a few days ago." gone?"

Sun Shao entered the palace as a hostage when Sun Quan came to the throne, and Cai Yan has always been raised by Cai Yan on his behalf.

Seeing the ups and downs between Sun Shao and her son Sun Sheng now, she felt a little uncomfortable.

Suddenly, she had the reason why Wu Wan, the empress mother, was always so sad.

"They're going to fall out sooner or later!"

Sun Quan was not surprised by this point. With a wicked smile on his lips, he said indifferently: "Yuan Bao's heart is wild, and I, as a father, can't control him anymore. He is my eldest son. According to reason, My place should be his, but..."

As he said that, he shook his head himself. He set the rules and he must abide by them. He continued: "As for Sheng Yuan, he is young and brave, and he has the domineering spirit of his father. When a young man learns from me, how much is it?" Some of the composure his father doesn't have, such a young man with both civil and military skills, he will not be willing to hang around behind Yuan Bao's butt forever, Yuan Bao wants to form an alliance with him and let him help him ascend the throne, he has found the wrong person, and it is normal to turn his face !"

Sun Shao and Sun Sheng have different personalities.

I played well when I was young, but when I grow up, many things are different, and each has its own attachments.

Sun Sheng was careless when he was young, but the older he got, the calmer he became, the more thoughtful he was, and he was a little clever, but his bearing was not big enough, and he couldn't tolerate Sun Shao. It would be a matter of time before they fell out.

In the past two years, the imperial court has become more and more stable, and the world has become more and more peaceful. Therefore, the Clan Mansion is also nominating the prince more and more frequently. The competition for the position of the East Palace has already begun.

The Prince of the East Palace, that is, the prince of the dynasty.

This is closely related to the wealth and life of many people, especially the younger generation, so even in the three provinces and eight departments of the DPRK and China, many people have begun to stand in line.

The three provinces are the cabinet, the military aircraft department, and the Yushitai, which are the troika that leads the court forward.

Under the three provinces, there are eight imperial courts.

This is the cornerstone that supports the entire court.

Now that even the officials of the three provinces and eight ministries have started to stand in line, it has proved that this battle for the heir apparent has reached an inevitable point.

Although Sun Quan is still in the prime of his life, one day Sun Quan will grow old and surrender his throne. The imperial court will eventually usher in a new master. At this time, it is normal to stand in line as the crown prince.

"Husband, Yuan Bao is young after all, he..."

As a mother, Cai Yan knew that she was not good at participating in this kind of struggle, but she was somewhat worried about her son.

"Don't worry about him!"

Sun Quan reassured Cai Yan: "Now he is backed by the Cai family, and he has many advisers around him. He is also my eldest son. He already has a natural advantage in this matter!"

Although Cai Yan's natal family only has two or three little cats, it is not a simple family.

The current head of the Cai family is Cai Yong's adopted son, Cai Zhi, who is also the third-rank prince, Duke Gao Yang, who is now awarded by the court.

The shadow left by Cai Yong is not just a mansion of Duke Gaoyang.

Cai Yong is the sacrificial wine of Jiangdong Academy, with students all over the world, he is also the founder of the Department of Education, [-]% of the people in the Department of Education, including Cheng Dao, the director of the Department of Education, were promoted by him.

The most important thing is that Gu Yong and Xu Zhi are both his direct disciples.

Sun Sheng is Cai Yan's only son, considered the eldest son. Among many people who have read Confucian books all their lives, he is the only heir of the Great Wu Dynasty.

In this respect, he has an advantage over Sun Shao and Sun Dong.

"Sister Cai, the Sun family controls the absolute power that is unparalleled in this world. Some things are beyond my control. It's like I didn't want to draw a sword against my elder brother, but in the end we still splashed blood on Jinling. Many things, we, as members of the royal family , can't hide, can't let go!"

Sun Quan sighed, and said helplessly: "Yuan Bao has grown up, and he wants to fight for this position. Because of his father, Sheng Yuan has always been unwilling to be reconciled to being subdued. Xiao Dong, he was raised by me and raised by me. Although he is respectful, he has a lot of ambition. Sun Fu said that he would ignore the matter of seizing the heir and wanted to stay out of it, but he did everything in the army to buy people's hearts, but he just wanted to be an oriole... Now that the Sun family has many talents, it is also a headache. What I can do is that a bowl of water is flat, and whoever has the ability will be in the top position. This is the iron rule. I can't violate the rules I set. He is the emperor of Great Wu, the monarch of nearly 8000 million people in the Great Wu Dynasty, and since I have shouldered this responsibility, I must be responsible to my people!"

Although he suppressed the birth of the prince, he is not careless about this matter.

Whether it's the Clan's Mansion or Jinyiwei, for the crown prince candidate, a secret report is handed to him every month.

"I can understand my husband's painstaking efforts, but I am Yuan Bao's mother after all, and it is only natural for mothers to worry about their son!" Cai Yan tied a piece of white jade flying dragon jade pendant around Sun Quan's waist: "I just hope they can do something about it!" You are the same as the big brother back then, regardless of success or failure, you can have a good end, don't be like the third brother, who still lost his life in the end!"

"I try to control it as much as possible, but I may not be able to control some things!" Sun Quan shook his head.

The battle in the East Palace is for the crown prince and the future emperor. This kind of battle is more terrifying than the faction in the court. It has always been extremely dangerous. Winners and losers are either winners or dead.

Sun Quan's power over the imperial court is now overwhelming, and he said what he said.

This is the only thing that cannot be controlled.

"Fortunately, Ping An didn't get involved!" Cai Yan sighed a little.

"Hehe, not necessarily!"

Sun Quan shook his head when he heard the words: "Ping'an inherited her mother's character of a little money fanatic. She doesn't care about seizing the heirloom, but focuses on business. But he is my son after all, and I can't avoid it. I just don't know where he stands. On the other hand, when the little lion grows up in the future, he won't be able to hide!"

None of his sons could escape this battle for succession.

*****************

After leaving Fengyi Hall, Sun Quan went to the cabinet hall.

The cabinet meeting in the morning gathered many cabinet ministers to discuss the replacement of the governors of the states this year.

Because the local order was relatively chaotic when the world was unified, when the local system was changed and the state and county were established as the main local system, the term of office of the governor of a state was relatively long.

Every five years, that is, after five years of taking office, the governor of a state must alternate. He cannot sit in a state for a long time.

Sun Quan was just an observer of this meeting.

After a busy morning, the meeting is considered over.

When returning to Fengyi Palace for lunch at noon, Cai Yan went to inspect the women's academy outside the palace, and Zhen Mi was not there, so Sun Quan could only eat alone.

In the afternoon, Sun Quan handled government affairs in the imperial study.

"Your Majesty, the Chief of Staff of the Hun Legion has never been able to decide!"

"Didn't you choose a few before?" Sun Quan asked with a slight frown as he looked at the establishment and officers' names of the Huns.

"None of them fit!"

Guo Jia smiled wryly and said, "The Xiongnu Legion is different from other legions. It is difficult to choose someone who is capable of serving as the Chief of Staff of the Hunnu Legion, and who has a good relationship with Jia Xu and can check and balance Jia Xu!"

"I have one person!" Sun Quan squinted at a figure on the left.

"Who?"
