The Three Kingdoms

Sun Sheng thought for a while, then nodded: "Cang Shu is right, I have forgotten that Jiangdong Academy's strength is not weak, we must use it!" (To be continued.)

[Chapter 410 of the text, East Palace Four]

Enter June.

Early summer comes quietly.

The rain in summer is much more violent than the rain in spring. Amidst the thunder and thunder, the heavy rain pours down, and the rain seems to be washing this majestic city. Under the dark clouds, it seems that the sky is about to collapse. .

Amid the torrential rain for several days, the atmosphere in Jinling City, the imperial capital of the Great Wu, became more and more tense.

Who can live in the East Palace?

This has become the only topic in Jinling City today.

"Contest for the East Palace?"

"What's the point of contention? Isn't the East Palace the crown prince's place to live in?"

"Where is there a prince in the current imperial court?"

"But Your Majesty has a prince!"

"No, the prince is not the prince. Your majesty is wise, choose talents!"

"Since ancient times, hasn't it been passed down from father to son?"

"The crown prince is about the comfort of the Wu court. A wise king can make the world healthy, but a foolish king can make the world chaotic. Your Majesty chooses talents and protects the world without a small family!"

"..."

Storms of public opinion have begun to ferment among the people under the leadership of interested people.

Public opinion is just a means.

The final decision is still in this power confrontation in the court.

When Zhang Zhao, the chief assistant of the cabinet, took action in person, it was no longer just a battle between the heirs of the imperial court, but more a power struggle between the imperial court.

The lead may be the East Palace dispute.

But what was finally detonated was the internal struggle of Great Wu Chaotang.

This power confrontation can be regarded as the most intense power struggle in the Great Wu court since Taishan was enshrined in Zen. With the outbreak of Zhang Zhao, the cabinet was the first to participate in the war. Zhang Zhao took action, and the entire cabinet basically It was mixed in, and the ministers of various ministries, directors of various departments, and governors of various places all began to express their opinions more or less one by one.

Soon, Yushitai, one of the three leading Ma Chao in the imperial court, also began to be unable to sit still.

Those inspectors in Yushitai are quiet and taciturn. They often look up corruption cases, and each of them becomes a bit boring. But in the other part of Yushitai, the Yanguan is the best blade in the court.

These officials are the fighters of Yushitai. They have even impeached the current emperor countless times. With a three-inch tongue, they are not afraid of anyone, and they bite directly when they see the opportunity. One bite, known as a mad dog.

The testimonials of impeachment by the officials were flying all over the sky, and several candidates for the East Palace were scanned by them with a magnifying glass.

After Yushitai's spokesperson made a move, everyone began to stare at the Military Aircraft Department.

The military aircraft department is the most fearful of the power struggle above the court.

The power struggle is bloodless.

But the Military Aircraft Department holds military power.

Under normal circumstances, the Military Aircraft Department remained silent, because the military power they held was the most dreaded thing in the court.

But this time, the Military Aircraft Department could not avoid going out.

The first to strike was Zhou Yu, who had returned from the West.

With the outbreak of the battle for the East Palace, facing Lv Bu and Zhang Zhao's rivalry, the military ministers and cabinet ministers all began to return to Jinling City one by one.

On June [-]rd, Zhou Yu, Minister of the Staff Department of the Military Aircraft Department, made a statement saying that Sun Sheng, the son of the great prince, was still too young to take on the important task of the East Palace, so he opposed the proposal of Zhang Zhaozhi, the chief assistant of the cabinet.

Following Zhou Yu's writing, the power of Jiang Guogong's mansion began to mobilize.

Sun Ce's identity is a bit sensitive. The power of Jiang Guogong's mansion can be mobilized, but he must not make a move, or even stand up in person, because he is the elder brother of the current emperor and the loser in the battle for Jinling City.

However, many people did not expect that it was Lu Bu who acted as the vanguard for Jiang Guogong's mansion.

I'm afraid no one would have imagined that this time, it was Lu Bu, who was known as the first king since the founding of the Great Wu Dynasty, to charge for Jiang Guogong's mansion.

Lu Bu raised the flag for Sun Shao, which soon caused turmoil in the military aircraft department.

Various military ministers also began to write letters to express their views.

***********

A few days later, the torrential rain dissipated, and the sunshine made the weather a bit brighter.

The mansion of the Marquis of Nanling.

This mansion is built on the south bank of Xuanwu Lake, facing the Forbidden Palace, and looking up at the beautiful scenery of Xuanwu Lake.

on the attic.

Sun Dong wore a blue Confucian robe and a lun scarf. He stood for a long time, staring at the Forbidden Palace in the distance. He was familiar with this palace, but it was also very strange. A Forbidden City represents power.

I thought it was just a dispute in the East Palace, but I never thought that this competition would turn into a power confrontation between the old ministers and the young and strong ministers in the court.

With the intervention of the cabinet, Yushitai, and the Military Aircraft Department, all the important civil and military ministers, these young men who competed for the East Palace have now become little pawns in it.

They are not always the ones playing chess.

He felt a little aggrieved.

But the aggrieved is the aggrieved, he has to bear it, because his fist is not big enough.

"Master Hou!" Under the attic, a young man came up.

"Ji Chang!"

Sun Dong came back to his senses, looked at the young man, and said, "Why are you here?"

The person who came was Ma Liang, Tanhualang who had been in the imperial examination back then, and now Ma Liang, the director of the Propaganda Division, ranked fourth.

They are friends.

Sun Dong was studying at Jinling Academy before, so he naturally recruited many students from Jinling Academy secretly. As the leader of Jinling Academy, Ma Liang, the only one, Sun Dong also had some kindred spirits, and they had a deep friendship.

"Just got the news that the First Prince has gone to Jiangdong Academy!"
