Chapter 106 The Benefits of the Throne

"can not go!"

After hearing that, most of the ministers were opposed to it. Even Huang Zhong said, "How can a prince marry a concubine and go to the other party's territory to get married? Let Sun Ce send her here himself!"

Obviously, in his opinion, Ji Hao's trip to Jiangdong was too risky.

Ji Hao is brave and invincible, but it is easier to dodge an open attack than a hidden arrow. Whether a general has weapons, armor, and a warhorse are two completely different concepts.

What if Sun Ce didn’t really want to marry his sister off, and it was all a trap?
Even if it wasn't a trap, they would be cautious since Ji Hao was in Dongwu.

Why?

It would be better to let Sun Ce send the person over directly!
They felt that in order to capture Jingzhou, Sun Ce would most likely not refuse.

But Ji Hao smiled and said, "It's okay. In addition to restraining us, Sun Ce may also be using me to intimidate King Liu Bei. It won't be a big deal. Besides, after the policy is formulated, I don't need to be in charge all the time."

Today, Ji Ying’s system has been basically completed, and his son Ji Tian has grown up.

Although he is still a young boy in modern times, in ancient times where one could become a prime minister at the age of twelve, he has reached the age to be independent and it is time for him to train and experience how to govern a country in advance.

Ji Hao himself has the idea that "all bloodline descendants should be given inheritance rights".

But the Crown Prince must have it.

Otherwise, if an accident occurs and the ministers have no backbone, people like Cao Cao and Wei Yan may not be able to live in peace.

"As for what if, when has absolute safety ever existed in this world? It is possible that you might be killed by a meteorite falling from the sky while lying at home!" Ji Hao said again.

Finally, he decided to go.

I'm coming to the Three Kingdoms for a trip. I'm only one card away from collecting cards. How can I not go?

If the person who asked him to go was Liu Bei, he would really have to think about it. He is not afraid of those indecisive people in Jiangdong, a place where men try their best to scheme against women and try their best to hinder them.

"Don't persuade me anymore!"

Of course, Ji Hao was not going alone. In ancient times, people paid great attention to ceremonial guards. With his status, he had to be accompanied by a ceremonial guard of at least 500 people before he could travel. He did not like to save face, so the ceremonial guards were all his personal guards, and they were the best players selected through military competitions.

With this and his own bravery, even if Sun Ce turned against him, he would not be able to do anything to him.

Just be careful not to be tricked.

Ji Hao was very confident about this. In the name of academic exchange, he brought both Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing with him. In name, it was to honor the wise and humble individuals and let them eat and live together, but in reality, he wanted the two to help with identification.

If someone poisons someone, they will definitely find out.

It can be guaranteed to be safe.

"Haha, Brother Chengtian, I knew you weren't a timid person. From now on, we are one family, and we won't have any more differences!"

In front of the mansion gate, Sun Ce greeted.

Also welcoming him was Sun Jian's wife, Old Lady Dongwu.

Unlike Sun Ce, who had already inherited the throne and could communicate with Ji Hao on an equal footing, the old lady had to bow to Ji Hao to show her respect for the "king".

This is etiquette and also the benefit of the title.

If you are just an official, no matter how high your rank is, you have to bow when you meet your elders.

In an age that emphasizes "respecting the elderly", those who are older and of higher generation can legitimately take advantage of their seniority, which often leads to disastrous consequences that are difficult to deal with.

For example, the old lady from Jiangdong in front of me.

In the original novel, it was she who forced Liu Bei to marry Sun Shangxiang and delay his return. It was also her narrow-mindedness that caused Sun Quan to miss out on the Phoenix Child, who could conquer the world if she got one.

She had to take half the blame for the loss of the Eastern Wu.

If Ji Hao was allowed to serve as a junior, he would definitely be greatly constrained during his time in Jiangdong.

But it’s different with a throne.

The good thing about a king is that he can be courteous to others and humble himself to those he respects, but when he doesn't want to be humble, he can justifiably put on airs.

In front of the king, there are only subjects and people, even if they are the king of an enemy country!

"You are being too polite. Public is public and private is private. Not to mention that we have always been in peace, even if we go to war, it will not affect our friendship!" Ji Hao said.

In response, Sun Ce nodded repeatedly and invited him to come in and take his seat.

I didn't mention marriage lightly.

Instead, they first reminisced about the past and talked about many military topics, from weapons to war horses, from horsemanship to the pleasures of sex, all of which were topics for men.

The conversation was pleasant.

But as Zhou Yu listened, his face gradually darkened.

Because Sun Ce forgot what had been planned at the beginning, and the lord became confused when he drank!
Helpless, he could only interrupt and say, "Speaking of martial arts, I have always been curious about one thing, that is, how are you, Brother Chengtian, better than Lu Bu and the others? How is Xing Daorong better than them?"

It turned out that the purpose of their banquet was Xing Daorong.

After losing Chang'an, the guy did not die. Zhang He cut him off his horse, but he only shot him down, not killed him.

Not even taken away.

But let it go.

But Liu Bei did not make his affairs public, so that even now, Jiangdong is still wary of him.

"Strength. When there is an insurmountable gap in strength, there is no way to make up for it in martial arts. In addition, I have mastered all three paths of peerless power, while Lu Bu has only mastered one." Ji Hao said: "This has no direct impact on each other, but in terms of the threat to the enemy, there is a world of difference."

Killing generals, fighting generals, and charging into battle formations are three unique skills. Fighting generals is almost the same as charging into battle formation.

It will not affect the outcome.

Peerless is the ultimate of one path, there is no doubt about that.

When it comes to charging into the enemy line, the ceiling is still Zhao Zilong, and when it comes to beheading generals, the ceiling is still the future Guan Yu.

In terms of martial arts alone.

"What about Xing Daorong?" Sun Ce asked.

He finally remembered the purpose of this banquet.

"He is the 'Fourth Peerless'!" Ji Hao smiled and said, "The main thing is that he can brag. As for strength, Gongjin has also learned martial arts, right? He may not be able to kill in a one-on-one fight, but he should be able to fight him to a 50-50 chance."

Zhou Yu heard: "???"

Damn it! I am just a scholar who practices martial arts just to strengthen my body, but how can I be on equal terms with Xing Daorong?

What kind of a warrior is that?
"In other words, Xing Daorong is fake and he has no ability at all?" Sun Ce was also confused.

"Hmm!" Ji Hao did not hide anything and said with a smile: "Think about it carefully. If he is really similar to me and leads a hundred thousand soldiers, can he be defeated by Zhang He?"

Now, Zhang He has joined his army and become a general under Zhang Liao.

And to the outside world, the name "Er Zhang" was also given.

But the reaction was not great.

The ranking of the twenty-four generals was not absolute. Dian Wei lost to Yan Liang in a battle.

"Well! You really kept it a secret from us!" Zhou Yu said, then changed the subject and said, "You also deceived Liu Bei. If it weren't for Xing Daorong, he wouldn't have lost Jingzhou, right?"

After saying that, he paused.

Uncharacteristically, he asked directly: "So, Brother Chengtian, what is your attitude towards Jingzhou? Do you want us to fight?"
