It's raining all the time.
The sky in the Forbidden Palace City seemed to be about to fall, and it was gloomy.
At this moment, Sun Quan's mood was like a dark cloud in the sky, he was standing in the barracks of the Miyagi Praetorian Guard, in a barracks, his eyes looked at Lei Ding, who had become gray-haired, and his amber and green eyes exuded a sad light.
Lei Ding, a military general.
Sun Quan can't remember that he started to follow him to conquer the world that year.
It seems to be when I was still in Wu County.
He is not the most powerful general.
Nor does he have any brilliant wisdom.
But he has always adhered to his duties, done everything he should do, and used his life to erect a shield for Sun Quan.
Sun Quan's military generals have come step by step since they were teenagers, and many people are out, but Lei Ding is the only one, no matter when, he has always been by his side and has become the most determined shield by his side.
However, Lei Ding, who is not as old as Lu Bu now, should have been a man in the prime of life, but overnight, he became gray-haired, like a sixtieth year, dying in the twilight.
"Why is this happening?"
He looked at this scene and asked through gritted teeth, his voice was very calm, calm and a little cold, which made the doctors in the Tai Hospital tremble and dare not speak.
"Your Majesty, Commander Lei is not sick, but the time limit has come, I'm afraid that I will be weak to return to the sky, and the medicine stone will be spiritual" Zhang Zhongjing carefully examined Lei Ding's body, couldn't help but sigh, and said in a retributive manner.
"Impossible" When Sun Quan heard this, his voice became higher and higher, and he drank coldly: "Half a year ago, he was still a strong and strong general, full of strength, invincible among thousands of armies, but after only half a year, you told me that his limit has come, how can I believe it?"
Half a year ago, Lei Ding was still a super general in good spirits and full of pride.
In the past six months, although he has become more and more depressed, he is not necessarily old, why did he suddenly grow old like this in a few days "Your Majesty, the minister does not dare to bully the king" Zhang Zhongjing hurriedly bowed his head and said respectfully: "Commander Lei's body is indeed an old man, not a disease."
"Hua Tuo" Sun Quan glanced at the Tai Hospital next to him.
"Your Majesty, the ministers and the court order have the same opinion, he is over-consumed and old" Hua Tuo pondered for a while, and said: "And this should not be a recent thing, his body should have been hollowed out ten years ago, and in the past ten years, he has only used his qi to maintain his spirit."
"I don't believe it" Sun Quan was stunned and shouted angrily.
"Your Majesty, don't blame them, this is the last catastrophe" At this time, Lei Ding suddenly woke up, he opened his eyes, looked at the body of Sun Quan Wei'an, and said faintly.
"You all go out and wait," Sun Quan said with a deep breath.
"No" The imperial physicians surrendered their orders and then withdrew from the barracks.
"Lei Ding, why is this the case, give me the truth" Sun Quan brought a chair and sat in front of the bed, his eyes were gloomy, his voice was gloomy, and he asked coldly: "I really want to know, who has such courage to harm my love."
A person will not grow old for no reason.
He believes there must be a reason.
"Your Majesty, don't be angry with anyone, this is the last general willingly" Lei Ding showed a smile on his wrinkled face, and smiled brightly.
He had known for many years that such a day would come to him.
"Lei Ding, if you don't say it, I will be able to find out sooner or later" Sun Quan squinted slightly: "No matter who it is, I will not let any of them go" "Your Majesty, it's better to talk about this matter than the old man."
The figure that appeared behind Sun Quan was the figure of a fairy wind bone.
This is Wang Yue.
The first master of the court and the first swordsman in the world.
"Say," Sun Quan's voice was like thunder.
"Commander Lei is to cross the realm of qi cultivation and the realm of qi training, and he has overdrawn all his vitality" Wang Yue's voice was hoarse, his white hair was like silk, he looked at Lei Ding, who was lying on the bed, already dying: "He is so talented, I am afraid it will be difficult to break through the realm in his life, if he wants to gain, he will gain something, he will lose his life" "This is the time for something" Sun Quan's eyes couldn't help but be covered with a layer of mist, and he asked in a low voice.
"It should be the eve when His Majesty was just about to ascend the throne, that is, when he led the Great Commander of the Praetorian Guard" Wang Yue's thoughts fell into the appearance of Lei Ding ten years ago, before Lei Ding appeared in the Martial Palace, and he couldn't forget his persistence and firmness.
He began to explain the things of the year in harmony: "Back then, His Majesty was about to ascend the throne, the world was happy, he suddenly came to me and asked me, can there be a way to break the realm, said, he is not strong enough to be the commander of the Praetorian Guard, Wu can not protect His Majesty, how to break through the realm, the realm of Qi Chenggang, I said, the road of martial arts, step by step is difficult, there is no understanding of the difficulty of the realm of Qi Chenggang, he is very disappointed, but very persistent, and then Zuo Ci Guoshi suddenly appeared, said, there is a law, can make him martial arts Dacheng, but need to pay the same price, Once the consumption is too large, his vitality will be less than ten years, and he is willing to bear it, so the old man and Zuo Ci Guoshi jointly made a gong, personally opened up the meridians of his body, and used his vitality as the source to help him break through the qi and condense the gang, so that he could become a powerful military general who practiced qi and became a gang."
It's been ten years since this period of time.
The year Sun Quan ascended the throne was the year when Wu had just destroyed Chu.
In the past ten years, Lei Ding, as the commander of the Praetorian Guard, the shield by Sun Quan's side, has scrupulously abided by his duties, and used his life to keep Sun Quan's safety with the body of a super general, but he paid it, but Sun Quan never knew.
"Lei Ding, why is this?"
Sun Quan looked at Lei Ding, his teeth were crushed, and he roared a little angrily: "I, there is never a shortage of strong soldiers and fierce generals, why do you want to waste your life for the sake of martial arts?"
There are countless strong generals around him, one more is not more, and one less is not less.
He was a little annoyed that Lei Ding did not care about life so much.
"The last general is Your Majesty's shield, the shield is not strong, Your Majesty is worried, Zuo Ci Guoshi once said, I have ten years of life, so I did not hesitate to tell him, ten years is enough, with Your Majesty's ability, ten years of conquest, I will be able to make the Central Plains peaceful, I can put Nanshan on the horse, and I will be at peace from now on" Lei Ding said this with a smile, and in the end, he said with some regret: "It's a pity that I can't live for ten years, and it's impossible to watch His Majesty conquer the Western Regions and sweep away the common people, but what's the matter."
Sun Quan will soon personally conquer Rome, but he will not be able to serve left and right, which is the biggest regret of his life.

"I'm going to lose you, too" Sun Quan held his hand, the mist was filled, and his voice was sad.
"Your Majesty's discrepancy between this words, the last general is just a prisoner, more than ten years ago, he should be ordered to be on the death platform, the sky hangs the curtain, Wu County fights, the lack of troops in the city, the situation is critical, get Your Majesty's mercy, give the last general a chance to make meritorious contributions, since then, take off the prisoner's body, follow Your Majesty's left and right, fight in the south and the north, see the heroes in the world, fight the heroes of the world, life should be this, there are no regrets" Lei Ding said word by word: "Your Majesty, the last general in this life, should be a hero, only one regret, in the future can no longer be around the guard, please Your Majesty in the future to protect yourself, if there is an afterlife, the last general is willing to be a cow and a horse, and then a shield for Your Majesty, guarding Your Majesty's safety" In his life, he started from a prisoner, confronted the world's strongest, and fought against all kinds of princes, and he had a wonderful life, and he had no regrets.
"You still have unfulfilled wishes" Sun Quan let out a long sigh and asked.
Although he rules the world, he cannot reverse life and death.
I've seen too many lives and lives, but I'm still trapped by them.
He suddenly understood why Qin Shi Huang had to pursue that illusory immortality after he became famous and became the overlord of the world.
"The Last General Suddenly Wants to Return Home" When Lei Ding heard this, his spirit was already a little tired, and he said: "In this life, I will be the shield of Your Majesty, protect Your Majesty's left and right, and I dare not have a trace of relaxation, and I dare not leave Your Majesty a hundred feet away, and now there are only a few days left, I want to leave it to my family, and I ask Your Majesty to fulfill it."
"Someone Coming" "In" "Sending the Thunder Commander Home" Sun Quan got up, walked to the windowsill, closed his eyes, and his voice was a little blank.
Lei Ding didn't want to let himself watch him leave, so he should answer his heart and fulfill his stubbornness.
"No" The Praetorian Guards will bow to their heads.
"Your Majesty, the end of the general is gone, it is a farewell, Your Majesty should cherish it in the future" Lei Ding was carried out of the Forbidden Palace City by the generals.
In the barracks of the Praetorian Guard, Sun Quan's standing figure did not leave for a long time, he watched the rain fall drop by drop, and there was a haze in his heart that could not be dispersed: "Another old friend is going" Over the years, he has sent away many people, father, mother, Cai Yong, but every time, he is very sad and sad.
He is an emperor, an emperor who can be said to be the emperor of the world.
But in fact, he is just an ordinary person, and he can't see the sorrow of birth, old age, sickness and death.
"Your Majesty, birth, old age, sickness and death, the cycle of life, you can't force it" Wang Yue's limit is also approaching, in the past two years, Gao Wang, the first assassin of Great Wu, has begun to take over the management of the Wudian, and began to take his place and become the shadow of Sun Quan's side.
"I know that there is a time when flowers bloom and fall, and no matter how good a life is, it will always come to an end one day."
Sun Quan raised his head to look at the sky, his eyes were vicissitudes, and his voice was sad: "But I just can't see through it."
A few days later, news suddenly came from the Zhennan Gonglei Mansion that Lei Ding, the minister of military aircraft and the commander of the Praetorian Guard, suddenly had a sudden attack and died that night.
The court was taken aback.
The Military Aircraft Department was unable to receive any news in advance, and the sudden death of a military aircraft minister soon became a mess.
But inside the palace was quiet.
It's as if this thing never happened.
No one knew that Sun Quan was drunk alone that night, and in his own way, he said goodbye to the departure of his most loyal general.
On the first seven days of Lei Ding, Sun Quan appeared, he personally rushed to Lei Mansion to worship, and at the same time issued an order, Lei Ding's Zhennan Duke title was promoted to another grade, and he was crowned as the second duke of the imperial court, the Duke of Lei Guo, and the fief was Aoki City in western Mesopotamia, leading thousands of households.
Redding died, and his title was succeeded by his eldest son, who was not yet fifteen years old.
Many people are more interested in the fourteenth duke promulgated by the imperial court.
However, the succession of the title of the Great Wu Dynasty is under the management of the Zongren Mansion, and if Lei Ding's eldest son wants to inherit this title, at least he must pass the crown and then pass the test of the Zongren Mansion before he can succeed the title.
The Great Wu Dynasty was very strict with the management of titles.
The title that the ancestors used their lives to inherit to their children and grandchildren is a matter of course, but if you want to inherit it, it is another matter, if the ability is insufficient, the title will not be removed, but it will be temporarily sealed by the Zongren Mansion.
Lei Ding's sudden death also triggered some changes in the most tense battle in the imperial court today.
The position of the commander of the Praetorian Guard is very important, and it has begun to become a piece of fat for all parties to wrestle, and the 100,000 Praetorian Guards are the only soldiers and horses in the capital who are qualified to garrison in addition to the Divine Catcher.
To become the commander of the guard army is to become a confidant of His Majesty.
July.
Jiangdong once again entered the rainy season, and the sun could not be seen for more than ten days, and all that came into view was a rain curtain, and the rain poured down drop by drop, washing away the dirt of Jinling City.
In the Imperial Study.
Sun Quan's mood has begun to calm down a lot, but there is still some haze in his heart, like a rain curtain outside the window.
Lei Ding's death actually hit him hard.
But no matter what, life still has to be lived.
He is the king of a country, the monarch of thousands of people, even if he mourns, he can only mourn, not hurt.
The mountain of recitals piled up every day is the only channel through which he can vent his grief and anger.
"Your Majesty, the military aircraft department is playing, the army cannot be without generals for a day, 100,000 Praetorian Guards guard the capital, and now the main general has suddenly passed away, and the Praetorian Guards need to be appointed as soon as possible to stabilize the army's heart" Guo Jia walked out of the ear chamber on the left side of the imperial study, presented a book in his hand, and said respectfully.
"A wolf who smells of meat is always so impatient" Sun Quan took the book, looked at it, and then directly returned to the side, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and smiled coldly: "I want to see, who dares to stretch out his hand on this, if I can't chop off a few of their claws, I am not Sun Zhongmou" When Guo Jia heard this, his body trembled.
Sun Quan is sometimes very talkative, he is willing to use forgiveness to stabilize the country, even if it is an executioner like him who bears countless sins, because it helps him to stabilize the Great Wu Dynasty, he can forgive.
But once he touches the bottom line, he will be as ruthless as he was on the torture table, and he will pick up the big knife mercilessly, and no one can stop his butcher's knife.
"Your Majesty, the position of the commander of the Praetorian Guard can't always be suspended" Guo Jia pondered for a moment, still frowning and said.

"It makes sense" Sun Quan didn't get angry, he also knew that this matter couldn't be delayed for too long, but it was definitely not at this time: "But this matter has to be pressed, I don't want the Praetorian Guard to be connected with the recent court changes, wait for Lu Fengxian and Cheng Demao to divide the victory and defeat, see which of them can suppress the overall situation of the military aircraft, and then talk about the matter of the commander of the Praetorian Guard."
Sun Quan is not a saint, he can't always press the people below him, let them do their own things all day long.
People are ambitious.
Ambition is unstoppable no matter what.
And the atmosphere of the court can't always be harmonious, it's just a backwater.
Let them fight for what should be argued.
Lu Bu is ambitious, that's normal.
He didn't want to press it for many years, maybe his reputation was not very good in the past, he had three family slaves, and he had the name of a white-eyed wolf who couldn't be raised, but since he entered the Great Wu Dynasty, he has never been sorry for Great Wu.
He has fought for many years and has made great achievements.
In terms of qualifications, military exploits, ability, and fame, he has enough ability to climb to the top of the military plane.
So this time, he took advantage of the dispute in the East Palace and suddenly wanted to pull Cheng Pu off the horse, Sun Quan was naturally happy to see it, let him do it, and he also wanted to see how far Lu Bu could go.
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that it should be stopped" Guo Jia may not have a great sense of belonging to the Great Wu Imperial Court, but it is undeniable that this Imperial Court has become the only one in the Central Plains, no matter what he thinks, the Great Wu Imperial Court has finally become his stage, and this stage cannot have any changes, so he persuaded in a low voice: "The recent chaos in the cabinet and the military aircraft department has made some people in various states feel bright, and many of the policies that our imperial court is implementing this year have to slow down.
Infighting and chaos in the court" "If I intervene to stop it, who do you want me to stop?"
Sun Quan asked rhetorically.
"This" Guo Jia was a little speechless.
Stop whom It's hard to say.
I'm afraid it depends on who Sun Quan is inclined to.
Sun Quan's thoughts, although he often accompanies him, but he can rarely guess it.
"No one is a saint, when the Central Plains is still in chaos, they will naturally work together to win the world for the Great Wu Dynasty, but when the Central Plains is already a foregone conclusion, they have to think for themselves, and it is their nature to fight for power and profit."
Sun Quan said lightly: "If I come forward, I must promote one side, appease one side, who is promoted, is it Cheng Pu, or Lu Bu, who is appeased, is it Zhang Zhao, or Zhu Zhi, the palm of the hand is meat, the back of the hand is also meat, I let them go, they are all scheming people, understand my bottom line, infighting will naturally affect the development of Dawu, but the alternation of power is inevitable, even if it does not break out today, it will break out one day, everyone wants to reach the top, some battles are inevitable, Let them fight well" Someone said that there is no faction in the party, and there are all kinds of strange things.
In the imperial court, the lonely minister can't go far, who has come all the way is not a position where like-minded allies support each other step by step.
There will be disputes between political parties.
Sun Quanqi is a referee, he just needs to do what a referee should do.
As for the chaos in the court He was never afraid of chaos.
In the court, in the people, in the world, in the army, among the officials, in the cabinet, in the military department, he said one, no one dared to say two, this is his absolute power and might.
As long as he is still here, no one dares to mess around. t1706231537:
