The Three Kingdoms

"Sun Shao was the crown prince in the past, but he still brought chaos to the imperial court. Now His Majesty does not appoint a son-in-law, but a son-in-law as the crown prince. I don't know if it is the court's blessing or the court's disaster!"

"Your Majesty's move is a benevolent government. The world belongs to the Sun family. At the beginning, the emperor established the virtuous but not the elders. Only then can the Great Wu be at its peak. Your Majesty should emulate it. Why is it wrong!"

"The Marquis of Nanling is also a relative of the Sun Clan, His Majesty's younger brother. He is young and promising, and he ranks among the Sun Clan's heroes. If he is established as the heir, he should win the hearts of the people of the world!"

"..."

After this ritual of enshrining Zen, Sun Dong was officially listed as the crown prince of the Great Wu Dynasty among all the people in the world, but this crown prince was recognized by some and opposed by others.

Some old Confucian scholars who had read poetry and books reacted even more violently, and they played the court with folk books one after another.

Of course, there are also many wise people who think that although the selection of the crown prince is contrary to the differences of the previous dynasty, it is a good thing for the court and the world.

In the midst of this controversy, Sun Dong officially moved into the East Palace on the east side of Weiyang Palace City.

……

The time has entered the golden autumn of October, and the weather is starting to get colder.

On this day, Chang'an City was still bustling and bustling. The golden crow had sunk to the west, the setting sun was gone, the moon rabbit was floating up, and the night was gradually approaching. In Wei Guogong's mansion, the atmosphere was rather cold.

"why?"

Sun Sheng forcibly broke into the inner hall of the Duke's Mansion, standing in the hall with a tall and straight body, looking at Cao Chong who was warming the wine and studying again with complicated eyes.

"sorry!"

Cao Chong retreated from the left and right servants, stood up, let out a long sigh, and said with some shame.

When the dust settled, he also knew that he and Sun Sheng must have parted ways, and the role he played in this fight cannot be hidden from Sun Sheng.

Sun Sheng will know sooner or later, and he only realized it now, which is already beyond his expectation.

"I used to treat you as a teacher and a friend, but did I ever treat you badly?" Sun Sheng's face was cold.

"No!" Cao Chong replied frankly.

"In the past, you took refuge in me in the court and once said that you would help me ascend the throne. Do you have any sincerity?"

"Never!"

"When did you vote for Sun Dong?"

"Before meeting you, I have sworn an oath that I am willing to follow and be loyal to His Highness the Crown Prince. From then on, I will pave the way for His Highness the Crown Prince and send him to the position of Crown Prince. In the future, I will do my best to assist him to inherit the throne!"

Cao Chong answered firmly.

"I see!"

Sun Sheng laughed at himself: "My father's little ability has made him Sun Dong learn to look good. He actually buried a dark son by my side, and his methods are much more sinister than mine. Is it because I, Sun Sheng, are better than me?" Fuck him, Sun Dong!"

"No, His Highness, no matter how talented he is, is all first-class. He will live up to His Majesty's wisdom and be worthy of being the crown prince of the world!"

"Then why did you choose him instead of me!"

Sun Sheng drank coldly.

Cao Chong pondered for a while, and then spit out four words: "We are like-minded!"

"Same-mindedness?" A blazing coldness appeared in Sun Sheng's eyes: "Father once said that the so-called fame and fortune are not as good as the same ambitions. Is this the so-called like-mindedness?"

"Yes!"

Cao Chong nodded indifferently.

"it is good!"

Sun Sheng smiled angrily, and said to Cao Chong: "If my father is still on the throne one day, I will still have a chance. He, Sun Dong, don't think that he can rest easy by staying in the East Palace. Isn't Sun Shengyuan also a prince? , In the end, I will not be able to keep the position of the crown prince, I, Sun Sheng, will not give up, since you and I are enemies, from now on, we will cut off all kindness and justice!"

After he finished speaking, he walked away.

"Some relationships are indeed doomed. If they are not friends, they can only be enemies!"

Cao Chong's bleak body stood in the wind, looking at Sun Sheng's back, with a bitter smile slightly raised at the corner of his mouth.

"Cangshu!"

A hulking figure appeared behind Cao Chong.

"Third Brother!"

Cao Chong came back to his senses, and said to the burly young man, "It's rare for you to return to the capital, let's have a good drink tonight!"

"I'm afraid it won't work!"

After Cao Zhang experienced the exile of life and death in the past years, his temper has been sharpened by the battlefield these years. He said in a deep voice: "I returned to Beijing as a special envoy of the commander to explain the frontier affairs for your majesty. I will return tomorrow." Entering the palace to meet the saint, do not drink alcohol!"

He has become a real great Wu general from being a crime and doing meritorious service.

Now he is the head of the Snow Leopard Legion's cavalry regiment, and the vanguard general Tai Shici relies on most.

"Third brother has changed, his temper is no longer the reckless and reckless, he is much more stable!" Hearing this, Cao Chong smiled comfortably and sat down.

"People have to grow up. Back then, I let so many people die for my own selfishness. In the end, it took so many people to work hard to save a life. Even if I was a little unwilling, I wasted it on the battlefield!"

Cao Zhang's voice was deep and bleak: "On the battlefield these years, watching countless soldiers die around me, how can there be any distinction between Wu people and Wei people? It's just that I was too persistent!"

The battlefield can make a person grow. After Cao Zhang experienced the tragedy of the Roman battle, he had already given up that obsession.

"The Snow Leopard Legion has been stationed in the city-state of Byzantium, facing off against the Fortress of Severus, where the Roman army was stationed. It has been peaceful for the past few years, but Commander Tai Shici asked you to return to the capital at this time. Is there any change in the frontier?"

Cao Chong asked abruptly.

"No war broke out in the frontier, but since last year, the army has been in a state of preparation for war!"

Cao Zhang said: "Many soldiers in the army feel that war may break out!"

"It's quite possible!"

Cao Chong thought about it for a while, and narrowed his eyes: "However, if it is related to the matter of His Majesty's establishment of the crown prince, it will be different!"

"Why is it different?"

"Your Majesty is now in his prime. In fact, it is not impossible to delay the position of the crown prince for ten or eight years. He has never cared too much about opposing the crown prince. At this time, he agrees to the request of the clan mansion, probably because of one thing!"

Cao Chong was carefully trying to figure out Sun Quan's mentality: "He wants to conquer Rome again!"

"Prosecution?"
