The Three Kingdoms

"Father, His Majesty is here too!"

Zhang Xiu pointed to the standing figure in the distance and said in a low voice.

"Go and bid farewell to your mother first, I'm afraid it will take many years to see you again!" Zhang Zhao raised his head, looked at a handsome young man in the distance, and let out a long sigh.

"Yes!"

Zhang Xiu nodded, and walked up to the family members of the Zhang family who were already waiting to board the official ship.

Zhang Zhao thought for a while, then walked towards the distant figure.

"Minister... Caomin Zhang Zhao, pay homage to Your Majesty!" Zhang Zhao looked at Sun Quan standing under the willow tree and bowed his hands.

"Do you blame me in your heart?"

Sun Quan was wearing a white Confucian gown with his hands behind his back, with a graceful demeanor, like a scholar.

"A little bit!"

Hearing this, Zhang Zhao nodded calmly, and then said softly, without any emotional fluctuations in his voice, but calmly expounding, saying: "I, Zhang Zhao, recommended myself to be the disciple of the late emperor. I worked hard for many years for Jiangdong and Great Wu. Great Wu court, every decision I make is for the overall situation of the court, for the people of the world, but why it ended up like this in the end, I don’t understand, I don’t understand, I am very unwilling, I resent, I have experienced all these emotions !"

"I have no choice!"

When Sun Quan heard the words, he just smiled lightly, a little sarcastic, as if he was mocking himself.

"I know!"

Zhang Zhao nodded, looking at Sun Quan with divine eyes, and said: "One wrong step, one wrong step, your Majesty is still alive, and Sun Bofu will be enthroned. Your Majesty's position, I know, this should be His Majesty's most lenient treatment. After I resented, I let go. I am very lucky. I was born in the current dynasty. Your Majesty is enlightened and never implicated. The Zhang family, I'm afraid blood has flowed like a river!"

"It was a wrong step, a wrong step, I took a wrong step, and it was you who paid the price in the end!"

Sun Quan laughed at himself.

"Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven of Great Wu, the Nine-Five-Year Honor in the hearts of the people, the foundation of what the people follow in every word and deed, there must be no mistakes, I can understand!" Zhang Zhao looked into the distance and said, "I'm tired too. It was only in the past year that I realized that I could no longer keep up with His Majesty, so His Majesty asked me to retreat, and I have nothing to say!"

"In my life, Zhang Zhao, the most proud thing is that I was able to recommend myself to the late emperor's family, meet the Ming Lord, and personally assist the late emperor and His Majesty to create the magnificent rivers and mountains of the Great Wu Dynasty. I have no regrets!"

Zhang Zhao's demeanor became a little free and easy, as if a huge boulder weighing on his shoulders was lifted off at once.

"It was I who betrayed you!" Sun Quan's voice was a bit bleak.

"Your Majesty, you are right, and you can't be wrong. I will watch Your Majesty all the time, to see if His Majesty can conquer the place where the sun shines, and create an eternally prosperous imperial court that has never been seen before or since!"

Zhang Zhao saluted and said: "Today, Zhao will leave here, please take care, Your Majesty!"

He said he forgot, and strode up towards the official ship.

The boat moved.

Go in the direction of Xuzhou Pengcheng.

When Sun Quan could no longer see the shadow of the boat, he knew that after Cheng Pu and Kuai Liang, Zhang Zhao, the supreme giant of the Wu court who once commanded the entire cabinet, had come to an end.

……

The general reshuffle has been done since then.

On December 23, Zhang Hong, the last court tycoon who controlled the entire Yushitai, submitted his resignation.

The court tycoon who supported Sun Ce at the beginning, Kuai Liang committed suicide, Cheng Pu was exiled, and Zhang Zhao returned to seclusion, leaving only Zhang Hong. Zhang Hong also chose Sun Ce to assist Sun Ce to ascend the throne. This is a well-known fact.

Zhang Hong knew that after the court council ended, it was time for Sun Quan to settle accounts.

Sun Ce's ascension to the throne has already touched Sun Quan's rebellion.

Anyone who has anything to do with this matter, regardless of the reason, even if they are as powerful as Zhang Zhao, cannot avoid Sun Quan's reckoning after autumn, because only when they are cleaned up, this matter will be completely over.

He, Zhang Hong, was not someone with a passion for power, since the imperial court was no longer suitable for him to stay, why should he force him to stay.

Between the monarch and his ministers, there were several back and forth evasions, and Zhang Hong's departure was a foregone conclusion.

……

December 29.

Zhang Hong resigned, and Lu Dai, the inspector of Yushitai, took over the position of doctor Yushi.

On the same day, Xun Yu entered the court council and was one of the thirteen council ministers.

[Text 580 Chapter [-] End of Year]

The first year of Longce. US

the end of the year.

The great purge above the imperial court came to an end with the end of Zhang Hong, the last tycoon of the imperial court. All the ministries of the imperial court, the local states, began to stabilize.

The new structure of the imperial court is also beginning to adjust.

The Great Wu Dynasty, an aircraft carrier carrying 9000 to [-] million people, is about to go through its most difficult period of turmoil, and set off again towards the future heyday.

The gloomy and desolate atmosphere in Jinling City seemed to disappear when the new year was approaching. Every household began to decorate with lanterns and festoons, and the festive atmosphere filled the Great Wu Imperial City.

And on this day, in a small side hall of the imperial study, Sun Quan personally received a general in the army.

This general is a bit special, she came back from the state of Lu, the princely state of the Great Wu, and the most special thing about her is that she is a woman, the first female general in the Wu army, the heroine of the Great Wu, Lu Lan, who is known as the female tiger of the Lu family.

Lu Lan's fame was at its peak in the Wu Dynasty. At that time, there were three arrogant and domineering women in the Jinling Imperial City, known as the Jinling Sanji, which caused countless people headaches. Now the Jinling Sanji has grown up and is long gone. prestige.

In the current Great Wu Dynasty, there are two models for all women. They are two outstanding women. The first is the military general Lu Lan. , she resigned from the Wu army, returned to the Lu State, and led the Lu State General.

There is another one, of course, the woman who is known as the most likely to step into the rank of cabinet minister, Governor Sun Yi of Beizhou.

Lu Lan is more respected by those women than Sun Yi, the female champion who was born in the royal family. Everything about her was fought back with her blood. She has gone through countless bloody battles, and some battles are even listed in the textbooks of the martial arts hall.

When Lu Lan retired and left Wu Jun's stage, she somewhat disappointed the big Wu girl.

Lu Lan's return this time surprised Sun Quan.

Since Lu Bu's death in battle, the entire Lu family has begun to move to Lu State, giving up their foundation in Great Wu. , At this time, Lu Lan suddenly returned to Jinling City from the State of Lu.

"Chen, Lu Lan, I greet Your Majesty!"

Lu Lan's heroic posture was impressive, and her steps were like shooting stars. After walking in, she looked at Sun Quan who was sitting cross-legged on top, and hurriedly bowed her head in salute.

"You don't need to be too polite. You just came back from the country of Lu. You have been traveling non-stop. You must be tired. Sit down!"

Sun Quan looked at this female Lu tiger carefully, and sighed inwardly, indeed, the female has changed a lot.
