More than ten people became attendant at the same time as Sun Quan, including Wu Jing's son Wu Qi and Xu Gong, the younger brother of Xu Kun.

Shizhong was originally an additional official and served as an internal dynasty. After Emperor Wu of Han strengthened the power of the internal dynasty, Shizhong's status gradually improved. Sun Ce adjusted the official system and restored Shizhong's original functions, and like the doctor, he became an integral part of the reserve officials. If the doctor was an ordinary official or even the children of the common people selected from various places, then Shizhong was the children of high-ranking officials and powerful people. They were closer to the monarch and would be slightly higher in the future.

Of course this is inequality, but it is impossible to completely abandon it at present. He has become a lonely man, and Sun Ce can do nothing.

Empress Wu was happy and ashamed, holding her sister-in-law, Mrs. Sun's hand and constantly wiping her tears. Mrs. Sun knew her feelings and smiled and comforted her: "With a son like a Bofu, your brother can rest in peace in the nine springs, and your sister-in-law can also enjoy wealth with confidence."

"I hope so." Empress Wu smiled with tears. "After so many years, I can finally feel relieved, but I just felt wronged by Bo Fu. I am busy with state affairs and have to worry about family affairs. Not only can I help him, but I have also caused him a lot of trouble. I really owe him too much."

"Why do you have to do this between mother and son? But, sister-in-law, I have a saying that may not be very pleasant, but I still want to remind you."

"You said, you said."

Mrs. Sun moved closer and whispered to Empress Dowager Wu: "You know Zhongmou's nature. Although Xu Zi bowed his words for a while, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not be repeated in the future. You cannot blindly accommodate him in the future. In my opinion, since he is already in a weak position, he is an adult. You should find a well-educated woman for him and advise him not to get stuck in the rude position."

Empress Dowager Wu nodded repeatedly and looked at Xu Hua who was joking with Xu Jie and Sun Shangxiang. "Hua'er is suitable, but unfortunately she is in-laws and has been in trouble again."

Mrs. Sun shook her head. "Although Hua'er has a stubborn temper, her knowledge is limited. In my opinion, it is the best for women from aristocratic families. Look at the queen sisters, that is the most ideal virtuous supporter. She should be a family and wise, and can check for omissions and make up for shortcomings at all times."

Empress Wu smiled. "Where are you looking for such a good woman from afar?"

"Birds of a feather flock together. Such a good woman naturally has to be friends with her." Mrs. Sun smiled and looked at Yuan Heng not far away. "You don't want the queen to give you some special features. If there is a suitable one, my boys can also benefit from it."

Empress Wu suddenly realized and pointed at Mrs. Sun with a smile. "It turns out that you have made this idea, and it turns out that you are cunning." She laughed, but she deeply agreed in her heart. She herself was also very satisfied with Yuan Quan and Yuan Heng, thinking that women from aristocratic families were knowledgeable and wise. Sun Ce’s achievements today were inseparable from the help of their sisters. Before she met them, Sun Ce was also frivolous and was not much more stable than Sun Quan.

As the saying goes, a good wife is in the hall to avoid disasters. Sun Quan’s character requires someone to be able to keep his life in the face of his life at all times.

Empress Dowager Wu called Yuan Quan over and expressed her meaning tactfully, hoping that she could help Sun Quan find a suitable woman as his wife. Yuan Quan happily accepted the order, but said that the marriage matters should not be in a hurry, as it may take some time.

Empress Dowager Wu smiled and nodded, saying repeatedly: "No hurry, no hurry. If you can have a happy woman, it would be fine if you wait for a year or two."

"The Queen Mother is considerate and I am grateful."

——

After the family dinner, they returned to Yuan Heng's residence together. Yuan Quan immediately passed on the instructions of Empress Dowager Wu to Sun Ce.

Sun Ce smiled. "Isn't this a good thing? Just find a person from the Ruying clan who is of the age and looks suitable to marry Zhongmou, which is the best of both worlds."

"The king said it easy." Yuan Quan said angrily: "It is not difficult to find a woman who can satisfy the Queen Mother, but it is difficult to satisfy Zhongmou."

"What can Zhongmou have?"

"Mu Ai at a young age, of course, must be outstanding in appearance first. Not to mention Ru Ying, even in the world, how many of them can surpass Feng Wan, Zhen Mi and Qiao's sisters? Zhongmou is a good person. It is not easy to find a woman who can satisfy him. Besides, in addition to appearance, it is even more difficult to control him. I have thought about the familiar woman and can't find a suitable one."

Sun Ce turned his head and glanced suspiciously at Yuan Quan and Sister Yuan Heng. He didn't believe that the entire Ru Ying clan could not find a woman of the right age who had both appearance and means, nor did he believe that the Ru Ying clan did not want to take this opportunity to marry the Sun clan. Yuan Quan repeatedly ruled, which could only explain one problem: she was not enthusiastic about this and deliberately used this reason to make a case.

Indeed, it is difficult to find someone with a look comparable to Feng Wan and others. The national color is the national color, a scarce resource and cannot be seen everywhere. However, even if Sun Quan is lustful, he would not have to be so beautiful. In contrast, there are not many people who can control Sun Quan.

"Are you worried that Zhongmou will cause trouble for his wife?" Sun Ce was not polite and came to the point of attack.

"I don't dare to say that." Yuan Quan said reincarnatedly: "I still hope that the king and brothers will be harmonious and the mother and son will be at peace."

Sun Ce understood. Yuan Quan had doubts about Sun Quan, worried that he would just give in for a moment and might cause trouble in the future. If she recommended a woman to Sun Quan as his wife, if something happened in the future, the woman's family would hate her. Marriage was for profit, who would want to jump into the fire pit?

"No one can guarantee the future, but I am prepared. If Zhongmou still doesn't give up and wants to lead the army like Shubi and Xiangxiang, I will seal him overseas and let him do whatever he wants. If he changes his temperament and proves with peace of mind, he will seal him in the country and be a wealthy and idle person. You don't have to worry too much. If you have the right one, please recommend it. Whether it will be successful in the end depends on whether they can see the right one. What do you think?"

Yuan Quan understood and smiled. "It's better that the king said it's right, so let's do it as it should. I'm leaving."

"Wait." Sun Ce grabbed Yuan Quan and smiled. "You come with me, won't it just for this matter, right?"

Yuan Quan tilted his head and glanced at him, as if he was smiling. "What else does the king think?"

"Didn't you know that Ah Heng has just been pregnant and cannot move lightly, so as not to get angry. You can replace him?"

Yuan Quan was stunned for a moment, then his face turned red and he reached out to pinch Sun Ce's ribs. "It turns out that in the king's mind, I am such an anxious person, which is really annoying."

Sun Ce said nothing and picked up Yuan Quanheng and walked towards the hot spring beside him. Yuan Quan screamed in shock, hugged Sun Ce's neck, and said in his ear: "Don't worry, I'm really worried, I'm really worried, but this is not the case."

"Then let's talk slowly." Sun Ce lowered his head and kissed Yuan Quan's hot face. "It just so happens that I have several things to tell you."

Yu Fan walked into the villa of the Military Intelligence Department and went up to the small building.

Guo Jia saw it from afar, waved his hand, and signaled his subordinates to go out. The officials retreated one after another, and the huge room suddenly became much empty. Yu Fan walked slowly in, looked at the map on the wall, saw the red circles of all sizes, and smiled bitterly.

"It seems that it's not just Kuaiji who is in trouble."

"It's not surprising that they are all ghosts and monsters." Guo Jia said, signaling Yu Fan to take his seat and pour him a cup of black sauce drink with his own hands. The fragrance was everywhere. Yu Fan was happy when he saw the Lie, so he took it up, sniffed it, took a sip, and then frowned.

"What is this, why is it so bitter?"

"This is something I rely on for the past ten days to refresh myself." Guo Jia sneered. "I have been suffering for ten days. How can I be willing to do it if I don't let you taste it?"

Yu Fan stared at Guo Jia, gritted his teeth, poured the whole drink into his mouth, and his eyebrows and nose were squeezed together. He quickly poured water and rinsed his mouth, took two sips before he said fiercely: "Are you satisfied now?"

"The cow chews herbs, and wastes natural resources." Guo Jia laughed loudly, picked up a cup in front of him, took a sip, and smacked his lips comfortably. "This is a drink from Jiaozhou. It can refresh the spirit. Although it is bitter in the mouth, it has endless aftertaste. It is a waste for you to drink like this."

Yu Feng raised his eyebrows. "You are embezzling public funds and buying extravagant things?"

"Okay, you can take care of your own affairs first. Tell me quickly, how about you?" Guo Jia stretched out his hand and pointed to the map. "Ten days have arrived."

Yu Fan's expression immediately slowed down. "I have already checked this matter. It is very complicated and it is difficult to explain it clearly for a while. There are both interests and tricks in Shu. Of course, some people are overestimating their abilities and insatiable. They are filial and the king is about to ascend the throne. This matter should not be expanded, but it is better to appease it."

"Please?" Guo Jia put down his cup and sneered: "Zhongdufu father and son led the Central Army to Danyang. Do you think it's just for comfort? What kind of temper do you have? You should know. You don't have to hurry to ascend the throne for one day or two, or even say that it's not a year or two. If you think you can use this thing as a bargaining chip, you will be disappointed."

"I understand, I understand." Yu Fan bowed repeatedly. "I have no intention of filial piety. I must kill those who should be killed, but I don't want to kill too much, which will implicate the king Yingming." He paused and said, "Whether Kuaiji, Danyang, or Yuzhang, the county boundary is too wide, and the county governs is in a corner, and the jurisdiction over remote areas is insufficient. It was fine before, but poor mountains and rivers were bad, gains and losses were useless. Now, starting mountains and growing tea has become the key to national economy and people's livelihood. I can no longer let it be free as before. I thought, taking some opportunities to re-dividing the county boundary and strengthening management may be the fundamental solution."

Guo Jia smiled. "The newly-cut counties and newly-established counties are here to appease those families who are in trouble, right?"

Yu Fan also frowned. "Fengxiao, you said this, but you want to be guilty of being punished. How could I say such a thing? Is there such a meaning?"

"Nothing is the best." Guo Jia picked up the cup, took a sip of the drink, and narrowed his eyes. "The king is kind, which does not mean that the king has no principles. If you have any opinions, you do not respond through normal channels and insist on killing people and robbing people, then you have to see if their knife is fast enough and their necks are hard enough."

Yu Fan's heart skipped a beat, and a chill rose from the back and forth, heading straight to the back of his head, and his scalp became numb in an instant.
