Lu Yi was still complaining about Lu Xun privately, but someone above the court was already planning to secretly target Lu Xun.

The incident of the general knocking on the door caused quite an uproar in the court.

However, as the first person in charge of knocking, the Governor Quan Cong watched the whole process with a cold eye, without any emotion in his heart, and he even wanted to laugh a little.

Luoyang is more than two thousand miles away. Even if you don't want to be occupied by Han, can you still fly over and snatch it back?

During the Battle of Shiting, the Marquis of Jiaxing (i.e. Zhu Huan) suggested cutting off Cao Xiu's retreat in advance at a dangerous location.

If we can succeed, we can take advantage of the victory to pursue Shouchun, separatize Huainan, and then plot Xu and Luo.

In hindsight, this strategy had a high probability of success.

Not to mention plotting against Xuchang and Luoyang, we can at least try to capture Shouchun.

We had captured Shouchun long ago, why did we cause so much trouble now?

Faced with Han's occupation of Luoyang today, why should Wu be so embarrassed?

If you want to blame, blame me, you, the great general, were too cautious and did not accept the opinions of the Marquis of Jiaxing back then.

Shouchun, Shouchun, when it comes to Shouchun, Grand Governor Quan Cong gets very angry.

Soon, his opportunity came.

In November of the sixth year of Yanxi, Prime Minister Gu Yong was finally convinced by Zhang Quan that he could not survive the winter of that year and died of serious illness.

When Sun Quan learned of this, he was very sad and went to mourn him in plain clothes, giving him the posthumous title of Marquis Su.

After handling Gu Yong's funeral affairs, who can take over as prime minister has become a top priority.

According to the understanding of the ministers, the position of prime minister should naturally be taken over by the general.

The position of Acting Prime Minister is just missing the name.

But for some reason, Sun Quan was uncharacteristically reluctant to reveal his attitude.

Princess Quan, who wanted to go to the palace to find out the news, came back happily that day and quietly said to Quan Cong:

"Alang, your majesty is very dissatisfied with Lu Boyan. I heard it with my own ears. Your majesty scolded him in the palace for not knowing how to show appreciation. Why are you trying to be so cruel and ugly and only take advantage of your disapproval!"

Although he had a grudge with Lu Xun, Quan Cong was still surprised when he heard this: "Is this true? Your Majesty would say this to Lu Boyan?"

"I heard it with my own ears, can I be wrong?" Princess Quan persuaded with some excitement, "Alang, it's time to clarify the matter of Shouchun's military exploits!"

The case of Shouchun's meritorious service was originally controversial.

A letter from Lu Boyan forced the whole family to submit to Zhang and Gu.

In the past, Lu Boyan had a high reputation in the army, and His Majesty also listened to his words.

Now that His Majesty has been angered, if the Quan family does not take this opportunity to overturn the verdict, how long will it take?

Quan Cong's heart also moved.

After thinking for a moment, he said:

"Let me think about it and find a good opportunity..."

Princess Quan interrupted him directly:

"Alang, what else do you want to think about? I have made an appointment with Mrs. Pan, and your Majesty will probably come over."

"You are His Majesty's son-in-law, so you accompany me into the palace, pay your respects to His Majesty, and take the opportunity to mention Shouchun's military exploits. What's the problem?"

Quan Cong hesitated for a moment and finally nodded.

December of the sixth year of Yanxi's reign was destined to be a cold month for Wu Guochatang.

When Prime Minister Gu Yong passed away, the Gu family fell into grief and busyness and had no time for him.

The Grand Governor Quan Cong took the opportunity to speak to Sun Quan, Lord of Wu, and mentioned the Shouchun meritorious case.

It reveals how Chen Yun, the Dianjun at that time, deceived the emperor and falsely increased his merits, which resulted in unfair rewards and punishments for the army's lieutenants.

Quan Cong not only took out his merit book and pointed out the fallacies of many of the military achievements mentioned above, but he also found former military lieutenants to prove his claims.

Over the past few days, Sun Quan had been very angry because of Lu Xun's knocking on the que, and the death of Gu Yong made him sad and sad.

With grief and hatred mixed together, I couldn't control my emotions when I learned that Gu Yong's descendants were so unbearable.

He first angrily issued an edict to put Chen Xun to death, and then ordered a secretary to imprison Gu Cheng and Zhang Xiu.

Prime Minister Gu Yong's body was still cold, and the Gu family suffered such a disaster.

Even if the Gu family is one of the four families in Wu County, there is still some confusion.

After Gu Yong's death, General Lu Xun became the most important official in the Wu Dynasty.

At this time, he had no hesitation to stand up and plead for the Gu family. Sun Quan, who had long been unable to control his temper, rebuked Lu Xun in front of all the ministers:

"In the past, when Shouchun was discussing his merits, the court had no final conclusion. If it hadn't been for your letter, saying that the merits of stationing the enemy were great but the merits of retreating them were small, how could we have made such a mistake today?"

"I have no scruples and let you get close to me. I didn't expect that you would make such a comment because you wanted to do something for your nephew."

(Note: The Gu brothers are Lu Xun’s nephews)

"When today's incident happened, you didn't think about your own mistakes. Instead, you became even more incompatible with him. You simply did everything for personal gain!"

After Sun Quan's curse words, not only Lu Xun was shocked and couldn't believe it, but also all the officials were dumbfounded.

But seeing Lu Xun standing blankly, although there were colleagues sitting on both sides, he felt as if the surroundings were shrouded in mist, as if he was standing alone on an island.

He stood there blankly like a stone pillar, staring at the ground with his head lowered.

I just feel lonely, surrounded by shadows, my body is bound by the sudden fatigue, unable to move, and full of sadness and anger, swirling and conflicting in my body.

After a long time, Lu Xun raised his head and looked at the emperor above. His eyes were dull and empty, and he murmured:

"Your Majesty, I...I am guilty...guilty!"

With the last "guilty" sound, Lu Xun fell to the ground with a thump, his whole body trembling, and his head hidden deep between his arms.

Seeing General Shang like this, Gu Tan, who had been silent because he was avoiding suspicion, finally stood up uncontrollably:

"Your Majesty, although my brother is stupid and cowardly, I dare to guarantee it with my life and will never do anything greedy for merit."

"The general is loyal to the public and serves the public, and he is definitely not someone who will seek personal gain for his in-laws and children."

"I sincerely request your majesty to order a supervisor to review the matter of Shouchun's meritorious service, so as to prevent your majesty from being deceived by treacherous and sycophantic people."

Seeing Lu Xun's appearance, Sun Quan finally felt that he might have spoken a little too harshly.

Although he had the intention of weakening the Gu family, he still cared about Gu Yong's past achievements.

Moreover, Gu Yong's body was still dead, so he couldn't do too much. This time, taking the opportunity to beat Gu's body was enough.

So he said to Gu Tan:

"Why don't I investigate clearly the merits and demerits? The good relationship between Chen Xun and your younger brother is not private. Who knows?"

"In the Battle of Shouchun, I also have evidence that Chen Xun falsely claimed military merit. According to law, your younger brother should be killed. However, I think the Prime Minister has great pity for your brother."

"Well, as long as you apologize to the Governor here in front of everyone, I'm sure the Governor will not pursue it too much."

When Gu Tan heard that Sun Quan actually asked him to apologize to Quan Cong, he was immediately furious, his blood was boiling in his body, and he clenched his fists tightly.

Quan Cong was so greedy that his brother was unjustly imprisoned.

Now Your Majesty actually wants him to apologize to this treacherous villain?!

Gu Tan turned his head and stared fiercely at Quan Cong who was sitting in front, then turned his head again and roared like thunder after being humiliated:

"Your Majesty, you are slandering me!"

As soon as these words came out, Quan Cong, who was secretly proud of the setback of the Lu family and Gu Er family among the four surnames in Wu County, couldn't sit still for a while.

He stood up suddenly, pointed at Gu Tan and cursed:

"Who are you talking about?"
