Chapter 722 Empress Wu Lie 68
Mrs. Xu said she would go back to Xu Kun's place, but since Xu Kun was in office, Sun Ce had to arrange for someone to send her off.Fortunately, the Xu family does not have many things, and there are only four masters and servants. It is also very convenient to go to Jiaozhou by boat.
Sun Ce called Lu Meng over and handed him the sealed letter.
"Ziming, I sent you to deliver the letter, and take my cousin's daughter back by the way. Just watch them out of danger along the way."
Lu Meng was very puzzled, isn't there a special messenger for sending letters?
Sun Ce saw Lu Meng's thoughts in his eyes.
"I have to take the female relatives with me on the way. I was worried about those messengers, so I specially promoted you from the guards and entrusted you to do it. You go early and return early, I am still waiting for your use here."
Lu Meng was immediately comforted by Sun Ce's trust.
In fact, Sun Ce's letter had a very common content. It entrusted Xu Kun with his own affairs, and made it clear that Xu insisted that he did not want to remarry and must return to his parents.The people who I have selected thousands of times have no chance to recommend them.The person chosen was Lu Meng who sent him the letter.Although this person was born in a poor family, he joined the army after his brother-in-law Deng Dang when he was young. He fought bravely and studied hard. The young general has a bright future.
There are a lot of Barras, all of which are trust and recommendation of Lu Meng.
The essence is just a sentence, choose Lu Meng to be your son-in-law Xu Kun, and you will get a promising son-in-law because of your cousin.And such a capable general beside me will be more loyal to my assistance, which is a good thing for our great cause.If you fall in love with Lu Meng, let's see how you can convince your own daughter to come back together after they get married.
It doesn't matter if you don't like Lu Meng, my uncle Wu Jing has a concubine's daughter, I will talk to my uncle about Lu Meng's marriage.
As far as Xu Kun is concerned, he can really rank among the top in Sun Ce's heart, not only because of Xu Kun's ability, but also because of Xu Kun's firm support for him.At the beginning of his army, he could trust his mother and siblings to be entrusted to him, except for his uncle Wu Jing, who was Xu Kun, the cousin of his aunt.As for the Sun family's Sun Ben, Sun He, etc., they are his cousins, and Zhou Yu is also regarded as a brother by him.
Therefore, Xu Kun's current position is the governor of Jiaozhou, Wu Jing is the governor of Xuzhou, and Sun Ce's governor of Yangzhou is a general-level official position.
Of course, Sun Quan's anomaly that night also fell into Sun Ce's eyes, but he and his mother tacitly chose not to expose it.He knew the nature of his younger brother a long time ago, and he made up his mind to raise him as a young son, just be careful not to give him a chance to embarrass himself.
Then Sun Ce put the matter behind him.
He has to pay attention to the progress of the war between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao in the north; he has to pay attention to the progress of the battle of the three armies attacking Yizhou in the west.There are also marriages of several younger brothers and sisters, which need to be carefully considered.
He has been hesitant to agree to the marriage between Cao Ren's daughter and Sun Kuang, and he always feels that it is meaningless to give Sun Kuang the daughter of the Cao family.By virtue of Cao Cao's war with Yuan Shao, he postponed the matter.
In order to show his loyalty to him, Sun Shao, the governor of Yuzhou, wanted to marry his daughter to his younger brother.In his opinion, it is much better to assign Sun Shao's daughter to Sun Kuang than Cao Ren's daughter.
And Sun Lang is not much younger than Sun Kuang, so it's time to get married.
After Wu Guotai appointed Sun Ren to Sima's family, Sun Ce focused on Sima Fang's eight sons, and found that all of them were outstanding among their peers.
He cruelly threw Sun Xiang into the barracks, and wanted to train Sun Xiang to be a general who could lead the army.
Alas, compared to the eight sons of Sima's family, his four younger brothers are obviously not enough.With such a tangled psychology, he confided his dissatisfaction with his mother.
Wu Guotai quietly listened to Sun Ce's complaints, and comforted him with a smile.
"The dragon gave birth to nine sons, each of which is different. The Sima family has been passed down for more than a thousand years, and the Sun family was originally descended from Sun Wu, but how can it be compared with Shang Tang?"
Sun Ce was a little unconvinced, and after thinking about it, he agreed with his mother's words - his ancestor was incomparable with Cheng Tang.
"Aniang, but the younger sons of Sima's family are much better than Shubi and the others. Well, I'm not talking about academics, but character."
Wu Guotai laughed, "I don't know if Sima Jiangong wants his eldest son to compare with you."
Sun Ce smiled, such a comparison is a bit unreasonable.
Wu Guotai continued: "Innate nature should have played a big role in the matter of xinxing, so there are one mother and nine sons who are different. You see, Sima Decao is inherited from the direct line. His ability to learn and teach students is very important. He is famous in Yu Nei. He personally taught his sons, but they are much worse than Sima Fang's eight sons.
Looking at Zhongmou again, after his teaching, he has enlightened a lot, and he has improved significantly compared to following Zhang Hong.But he just can't compare with Pang Tong and Zhuge Liang, which shows that a person's talent and disposition cannot be changed.
Otherwise, didn't Mr. Shui Jing teach his son better than Pang Tong and Zhuge Liang? "
Sun Ce murmured, "Aniang, do you want your son to accept the talent and character of Zhongmou and others, and not be as good as Sima Jiangong's son?
"That's right. I can't find any more reasons besides the difference in innate xinxing. You also know that I have been supervising their homework these years, and I also brought Shubi and the others with me when teaching Ziming. But After all, they are just not enlightened, and they are not as good as Ziming."
Wu Guotai shook his head while talking, these children behind the Sun family are very talented and talented, and they also have a stubbornness in their blood. Whether it is persuasion, teaching, or playing the board, the results are very unsatisfactory.
Sun Ce was also deeply touched by this, "Aniang, don't talk about Zhongmou, let's talk about Shubi. In my impression, he has been fighting with Zhongmou for more than ten years. I threw him to the barracks, But he lacks Lu Meng's ruthlessness, hard work, and drive."
Sun Ce didn't think Sun Xiang was like him.Sun Xiang's conditions for going to Shouchun after observing his father's filial piety are much better.If he had Sun Xiang's conditions, he would work harder and study harder, and his achievements would be even greater than now.
"Although you brothers grew up together, the difference in age has caused you to have different perceptions from them. You see, because you are the eldest son, you have been the focus of Aweng's attention since you were born. It’s spent on you alone. It just so happens that there are two younger sisters behind you, and Zhongmou is seven years younger than you. When he can run steadily and understand you, Weng, your marksmanship has already taken shape. Where are you, Weng? Still have the energy to keep an eye on him.
When you Aunt passed away, what you thought was how to carry the family, but what they thought was to be obedient and share the pressure with me and you.You have different ideas, so the difference between you will become bigger and bigger after ten years. "
Wu Guotai spoke slowly, leaving time for Sun Ce to consider his words.What he is facing now is that his brothers are not as good as other children's children, and in the future he will have to face his own children compared with other people's children.
Sun Ce thought for a while and nodded, then said dejectedly, "Aniang, I just think that Zhongmou and the others should not be much worse than the Sima family's sons. Sima Jiangong and his wife are in Luoyang, and Sima Min, the youngest son of their family, is also in Luoyang. I know that I study hard in Shouchun's official school. But A Kuang and A Lang, who are older than Sima Min, are not as serious as him. This has nothing to do with talent."
"Sima Jiangong only needs to teach the eldest son well. From now on, the eldest son will take the lead, and the younger ones just need to follow suit and study hard. But since your brother passed away, their experiences have no longer been smooth sailing. They used to keep moving. , Now that you have become a prince who dominates one side in the past few years, it is already good that they can not become playboys.
Sun Ce laughed, "Mother, you control them so tightly, it's even harder for them to become a dude than to ascend to heaven."
"Well, I can only care if they learn it or not. As for how much you can learn from Mr. Wang, it depends on the individual. For example, you have learned the most from your Aunt, such as marksmanship, bravery, strategy and other excellent qualities, but Zhongmou I just learned from you, Ah Weng's favorite girl, and Uncle Bi learned from his impatience just like you."
"Mother, I can calm down now."
"Yeah, you are calm now, that's what you have experienced in the past ten years. But Shubi hasn't gone through ten years of training like you. Don't worry, give him time to grow up."
Both mother and son avoided talking about Sun Quan.Wu Guotai knew that Sun Quan's temperament could not be changed, but Sun Ce gave up on Sun Quan after being disappointed.
"As for A Kuang and A Lang are still young men, if you supervise them closely, they will work harder. If they grow up like Sima Shuijing's sons, they will be limited by their temperament and talent. You, the eldest brother , has done an excellent job.”
Wu Guotai enlightened Sun Ce for a long time, so that he no longer insisted on comparing himself with Sima's son.The mother and son talked about Sun Kuang's marriage again.
"Aniang, I don't want to give Ah Kuang the daughter of Cao Ren. Sun Shao intends to marry a daughter, which is better than Cao Ren's daughter."
"Same surname does not marry."
Sun Ce hastily argued: "Mother, Sun Changxu is not of the same family as us. Where is the century-old family tree?"
"Can you try to make a family connection with him? Or marry his daughter to your uncle's cousin? I want Alang to marry your uncle's concubine, which will be good for your uncle's heart, and will not Because Ah Kuang's blood relationship with your uncle's family is too close, it will not be good for the child in the future."
"I still want Ziming to marry my uncle's concubine's daughter."
"Hahaha," Wu Guotai laughed, "Your uncle should have had more daughters. It's a pity that your aunt didn't listen to the persuasion. Forget about your aunt. How many times have I persuaded her to remarry?"
Sun Cemo, he doesn't care about his aunt's remarriage, as long as his mother doesn't remarry.
"Aniang, I sent someone to send a letter to Sun Changxu to discuss the matter of Lianzong. He should be able to accept his daughter's marriage to his uncle's house. As for the marriage of cousin Sun Boyang's daughter to Gu Yong and Gu Yuantan's son, if Ah Mother insists on letting Alang marry his cousin, instead of letting Ziming marry Boyang's daughter. Let Akuang marry Gu Yuantan's eldest granddaughter. Do you think it's okay?"
Wu Guotai nodded. At this time, Jiangdong was connected by marriage.There is no other way for Sun Kuang not to marry Cao Ren's daughter, and the Sun family does not have to marry Cao Cao in this life.Gu Yong's status as governor of Jingzhou meant that he would be at ease only after marrying the Sun family, and he would not argue with Sun Ce over these trivial matters.
But no matter how you marry, the most important thing is that you have strength.
Sun Ce had a long talk with his mother, no longer entangled that his younger brothers were not as good as Sima's children.At the same time, it also resolved the differences between the marriage of the younger siblings and the mother.Then he led the officials belonging to the Governor's Mansion to start the reconstruction of the area under the leadership of Marquis Wu.
Jiangdong, which belongs to Sun Ce's older area, is relatively good.After being swept away several times by Sun Ce, the tyrants of Soochow quietly hibernated for the sake of their wealth and life.
All the hidden fields were regarded as barren land by Sun Ce, and received under his own name and leased to the common people for cultivation.
Xuzhou, which was brought under its banner last year, is the key area for reconstruction this year.
There is also a large piece of land in Huainan. Whether it is to cultivate, restore agricultural production, or provide a piece of paradise for the people to live in in troubled times, there are infinite chores to do.
