Chapter 502 The situation of Wu and Yue [Part 2]
The Su family is a family of Zongheng’s family inherited from Su Qin, and has always paid attention to the power of Tongling.
Therefore, in the court of Wu, the Su family has always been a relatively strong faction with many allies.
However, in recent years, with the old master Su Zong retreating for many years, the Su family has obviously lost their composure. In a critical position, only Su Jin controls the military and political power of the Wu Kingdom.
The Minister of War, this position is also crucial. It is said to be marginalized, and sometimes it is marginalized by the monarch.
If it was in other countries, the Minister of War might not be taken seriously. Fortunately, the State of Wu has been eyeing Yue, a thousand-year-old mortal enemy, so the Minister of War Su Jin has always regarded Yue as the biggest threat to Wu and made sufficient preparations.
Since the prince Su Linrong was granted the title of Duke Zhenguo and was given to the Duke's Mansion by the monarch, Su Jin naturally moved into the Duke's Mansion.
However, Su Jin has been busy with official business, and Su Lin has been busy practicing his own thoughts and reading books, so there is almost no place to bother each other.
At this moment, Su Lin received Ye Hongye's reminder and felt that it was necessary to go to his eldest brother Su Jintan to find out.
After dinner, he learned from the servant that Su Jin had returned to his home, so Su Lin cleaned up and went straight to Su Jin's study.
Knock knock knock knock...
Su Lin knocked on the door, and Su Jin inside said in a low voice: "Enter!"
"Uncle! My nephew has been back home for many days and has not yet paid any respects to my uncle! I hope my uncle will forgive me!"
Although Su Lin is the prince of the Su family whose status is second only to that of the old master Su Zong, when facing the elders of the family, he still needs to have the etiquette he should have.
"Sulin, you, my uncle and nephew don't need to be so dissatisfied. I knew you had already returned home, but I have been busy with military affairs in recent days and have never had time to invite you to talk in detail!"
Su Jin nodded, walked up from the desk, and said to Su Lin with a smile, "My father once came to Shengli to write letters and told us that your performance in the book grave is remarkable! He was even recognized by the Spring and Autumn Pen, which is a great blessing for my Su family!"
"It was just a blessing from Su Lin! It was also because of Teacher Confucius' recognition that Chunqiu's pen recognized me as the main one!"
Su Lin's words are amazing. I'm afraid that among the nine kingdoms in the Tianren Continent, he is the only one who dares to directly call Confucius "teacher" like this.
"Authentic! This is also your fortune."
Nodding, Su Jin hesitated for a moment and said, "As for the matter you sent a letter to the Saint Power, the matter mentioned in the Sesame Shi Shengji family, my father said... This matter may be of great importance. He will investigate with other semi-saints in the temple. He told me to tell you not to be involved after seeing you."
"Why? Could it be that the death of Sesame Shi Sheng is really related to the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang?"
Although Su Lin had already known in his heart that there must be something in it, he did not expect that even the temple would be so important and that he would be so careful with the old man himself.
"Well! This matter is a big disaster, and no one knows which one will arrive first, the accident or tomorrow!"
Su Jin smiled and said, "Su Lin, you are the hope of our Su family. My father doesn't want something to happen to you. It's still good in the territory of Wu. Once he leaves this state, it will be difficult for him to protect you from being in good condition."
"Don't worry! Uncle, I will be cautious."
In the book grave, Su Lin used up the only chance to make Confucius appear saint, so he is alone now, full of crises, and he no longer has the most important trump card to save his life.
In this way, Su Lin will inevitably be more conservative. After all, no matter what it is, it will be a cloud in front of his life.
After the two of them chatted about some family matters, Su Lin began to stumble and asked, "Uncle, I heard that the border has been in short supply recently? I have sent a lot of arms? But what are the rumors?"
"It seems you know too? Su Lin, Yue State is determined to destroy Wu!"
Su Jin did not hide it from Su Lin, and directly admitted, "Especially, my Wu Kingdom has improved a lot recently because of your poetry in governing the country, so the Yue Kingdom is even more ready to move and it is difficult to sit back and watch my Wu Kingdom become stronger."
"Then the Yue Kingdom really dares to take the blame for the world and openly invade our Wu Kingdom?"
Su Lin knew that not long ago, the Temple reached a peaceful ceasefire agreement with the nine countries, which was equivalent to a brief mediation to allow countries to recuperate and develop people's livelihood well.
If the Yue Kingdom takes the initiative to launch a war at this time, it means that the Yue Kingdom will no longer have the right to do so.
"The situation is about to break out! The Yue Kingdom probably has been concerned about this, so it has been harassing our border defenses, trying to let Wu Kingdom take action first."
Shaking his head, Su Jin also said helplessly, "So, most of the military newspapers sent by the soldiers in the border are about the various provocations of the Vietnamese team against our Wu Kingdom."
"Hold on your breath!"
Su Lin could only say helplessly.
"Yes! A little unbearable will cause chaos in the big plan! Now is not the time to use force. The development momentum of the people's livelihood in our Wu Kingdom is so good. As long as this continues to develop for another 10 or 20 years, it will be enough to completely overwhelm the Yue Kingdom."
Su Jin said appreciatively, "Even if you really want to fight, you can't fight in full, you can only fight in part. And we can't take the lead. Even if we sue the temple, our Wu Kingdom will have the right to travel all over the world."
"Then... what did the monarch think?"
Su Lin thought of the king Sun Jianshi, and felt a little suspicious, "According to the king's personality, I guess... I can't stand the repeated provocations of Yue, right?"
"Su Lin, you've got the point! After reading these military newspapers, Long Yan was furious! It is said that several flower beds in the back garden were smashed. Several times, the king summoned our Ministry of War to the palace to discuss..."
Su Jin shook his head, and was even more helpless.
