The Three Kingdoms

Guilt edict, as the name suggests, means that I am guilty, and I specially issued an edict to admit my mistakes, and I ask you to punish me.

Under normal circumstances, it will cause some people to retaliate.

However, after Sun Quan's edict of guilt was issued, it did arouse reactions from all quarters, but it did not affect Sun Quan's great and solemn image among the people. On the contrary, it made Sun Quan's image more like a building in the hearts of the people.

The Great Wu Dynasty was established during the Southern Expedition and the Northern War, and it was achieved through one battle after another. Although it has been a few years since Taiping unified the Central Plains, it has come step by step from the war-torn era.

The domestic people's advocacy of force still exists, so they are also mentally prepared for defeat.

Sun Quan's defeat was beyond their expectations, but it was within their tolerance.

If Sun Quan was twitchy and secretive at this time, it would make the people feel deceitful, and this crime has been ordered, and Sun Quan's image will immediately become bright and aboveboard, and he will be much taller.

Because of the good response to this edict in Jinling City, the Propaganda Department changed its strategy and quickly detonated the world. At the same time, it also marks a full stop for this Western Expedition.

The guilt edict caused only minor disturbances.

It is still not as good as the turmoil caused by filling the vacancies of ministers in the imperial court this time in the world.

"Zhao Zilong, Guo Fengxiao, Zhuge Ziyu, fill in the vacancy as ministers of the imperial court, ranking first rank!"

"Zhao Zilong is His Majesty's favorite general. Over the years, he has lived and died for the imperial court. He has fought countless battles. In terms of ability and seniority, it is only natural for him to be admitted to the imperial court!"

"Guo Jia? Guo Fengxiao is just a subjugated minister. He has no great achievements in the world and no convincing qualifications in the court. What is he fighting for to occupy this position!"

"Zhuge Jin?"

"Although Zhuge Jin is His Majesty's confidant, he hasn't made any achievements that can convince the world over the years. If he forces himself to be in the position, wouldn't it mean that His Majesty has the heart to give and receive privately!"

"..."

Everyone in the world knows that above the Great Wu court, the members of the thirteen-seat court council will be the decision makers who decide the fate of the court.

Sun Quan integrated democratic elements into the feudal court, so there was a product of the court parliament. The most important thing is that Sun Quan was democratic in many cases, not a dictator. Therefore, basically any decision related to the fate of national policy, All have to go through the court council.

This time Lu Bu's death in battle, Sun Ce's rebellion, and Cheng Pu's exile caused the vacancy of court councilors, which has always been a suspense in many people's minds.

Every quota that comes up to fill a vacancy is the talk of the common people after dinner.

Some people like it, some people don't.

Some people are envious, others are jealous.

But no matter what, when the court council decides on these three quotas, it is a foregone conclusion.

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

evening.

At this time, the sky was not completely dark, and the light from the setting sun in the west could still be faintly seen.

After Sun Quan left the court hall, he stopped on the way back to the harem, stood on the corridor of the palace, and gazed to the west: "Shi Yuan, Zhang Zhao and the others seem to be trying to hide their strengths and bide their time!"

"Your Majesty, this is the first day, and they're pretty stable!"

"Then, do you think they can still hold on?"

"Zhang Zibu should have enough mental preparations. He can't keep the position of the chief assistant of the cabinet, but he will never let Xun Yu take the position easily!" With the added chips, it's really hard to say whether he can take the position!"

"Xun Wenruo, this is a smart man, but I don't know how he will deal with it!"

Sun Quan smiled, looked at Pang Tong, and suddenly said, "Shi Yuan, do you want to go down and lead the army?"

After this battle, the backbone of the Wu army was broken, not only the soldiers, but also the general class was severely damaged, and it was in urgent need of talents, so he was not going to leave all the talents by his pillow.

"I lead the army?"

Hearing this, Pang Tong frowned slightly, and said softly: "Your Majesty, I am afraid that I am not capable enough. As a deputy general's staff, I am confident that no one is inferior to me, but the chief general is a little unsatisfactory!"

Pang Shiyuan was still very aware of his abilities.

As a staff officer, he is okay, but if he is a general, he lacks the decisiveness to command on the spot, which is very important.

"I believe in you!"

Sun Quan patted him on the shoulder and said: "You, Zhou Yu, Zhuge Liang, and Guo Jia are not ordinary military advisers. As long as you have the courage to do it, you can lead the army and fight on the battlefield!"

"Since your majesty trusts me, I will never let your majesty down!"

"After the recruitment of new recruits is completed in the army next year, you can go down, the second theater is missing a commander-in-chief!"

"promise!"

Pang Tong's eyes burst out with a gleam, a commander-in-chief of a war zone, which made him a little flattered.

Sun Quan's thoughts drifted away again, Pang Tong and Zhuge Jin put it down, and his left and right staff members had to be screened again, which gave him a bit of a headache...

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

The first year of Longce, November 24.

The second day of the court council.

The weather on this day was not very good. When the genius lit up, the sky began to snow. Under the blanket of snowflakes, the meeting to decide the fate of the Wu Dynasty continued.

In the court meeting hall, the vacant seat has been filled with a new owner.

Zhao Yun was so calm.

Guo Jia was a little excited, after all, he was a little surprised to be able to sit in this position.

It stands to reason that he shouldn't be in charge.

There are so many senior and capable people in the imperial court, Ju Yi, Commander of the Central Army, Pan Feng, Commander of the First Army, He Qi, Commander of the Third Army, Xu Shu, Commander of the Northwest Battalion... These people's qualifications are far ahead of him. In fact, he was already on the list of candidate ministers, but in the end he was chosen to be in the position.

He sighed that the times make heroes.

If it weren't for this turmoil, Sun Quan would have realized that the dominance of the Jiangdong faction would have brought great uneasiness to his ruling power, and he would not have strongly supported the Cao Wei faction to counterbalance the power of the Jiangdong faction.

As for Zhuge Jin, he has changed his position, but he has a different mood. From today on, he will become one of the decision-makers of the Great Wu Dynasty, which makes him very excited.

"The country cannot be without a master for a day, and the army cannot be handsome for a day!"

Sun Quan personally opened the agenda for this day's meeting, his eyes swept over, and his soft voice was a little cold: "Now it is the matter of the chief of the military aircraft that is to be decided!"

As soon as his voice fell, the scene became a little cold.

"Why, nothing to say?"
