Sun Shangxiang looked at Sun Deng's three sons and sighed repeatedly. Although these three children all looked a bit like Sun Deng, it was obvious that Sun Deng didn't have much time to teach them. These three children just inherited his Weak, trembling under Sun Shangxiang's gaze, not even daring to raise his head.
Such a person is obviously not a suitable candidate for heir. Sun Shangxiang somewhat understands why Sun Quan was angry when she mentioned this matter. If Sun Quan is forced to choose one of these three children as his heir, it can only be said that Sun Shao He wanted to annex Wu State.
Sun Shangxiang didn¡¯t know if Sun Shao had this idea. She just touched the heads of the three children, left a sum of money, said nothing, and turned around and walked out the door. She was not interested in seeing Sun Quan again. She was already desperate for Sun Quan and had nothing to talk about. After leaving Sun Deng's house, she planned to go back to Qiantang directly.
But she was stopped by Sun Quan and Hu Zong at the city gate. Hu Zong had no time to wipe the sweat from his head and said breathlessly: "Your Majesty, the eldest princess, please stay."
Sun Shangxiang's heart was suddenly touched, and he followed Hu Zong to King Wu's palace by accident.
Sun Quan was sitting by the couch. Although his face was still very bad, he was much more energetic and not as manic anymore. However, his hands holding the case were still shaking involuntarily. On the table in front of him, there was still some soup left in a large bowl, and the mist still exuded a strong fragrance. A brocade box was placed aside, and the copper buckle was rubbed until it shined.
Sun Shangxiang's face darkened, and the hope she had just raised turned into nothing. She could see that Sun Quan had just drank soup mixed with worry-free grass, and he still couldn't resist the temptation of worry-free grass.
"I just drank two large bowls of soup, so I still have the energy to talk to you now." Sun Quan seemed to see what Sun Shangxiang was thinking, and said straightforwardly: "I hope you can listen to what I have to say, and then give me a clear explanation." answer."
"You said it." Sun Shangxiang said coldly, turning a blind eye to the couch that Hu Zong moved over. It was obvious that he did not intend to say anything more to Sun Quan and was ready to turn around and leave at any time.
"He said that there is no antidote for this poison. Whether I can detoxify it depends on myself. Is this what he said?"
"yes."
"That means that if I stop taking this drug from now on, there are only two outcomes, either resurrection from the dead or death."
Facing Sun Quan¡¯s calm gaze, Sun Shangxiang hesitated for a moment and nodded.
Sun Quan nodded silently, stretched out his hand to pull the brocade box on the case, and opened the copper buckle with a "pop" sound. There were more than a dozen worry-free grasses in the brocade box. He gently stroked these carefree grasses with his hands, as if stroking the delicate skin of his lover, showing endless nostalgia. Sun Shangxiang's eyes became more and more disdainful, and his disdain was revealed unabashedly.
Sun Quan picked up a worry-free grass, looked at the withered flowers in front of the light, and slowly stretched it out in front of the light. The flames licked the flowers, and there was a very uncomfortable smell in the air.
Sun Shangxiang was stunned for a moment and frowned.
"These are the only worry-free grasses. Now I have burned them all. The next time I have an attack, whether I can survive depends on whether God will favor me." Sun Quan took care of Wuyou. The grass was lit, and the burning stems were slowly rotated. He raised his eyelids and looked at Sun Shangxiang. I don't know when, his trembling hands stopped shaking, and his eyes became calm and calm. "If I can survive, then there will be no problem. If I can't survive, can you promise me one thing?"
Sun Shangxiang realized something and bit her lip: "Say."
"I guarantee that the Kingdom of Wu can continue to be passed down. No matter who I appoint as the crown prince, he will not be able to invade the land of our Kingdom of Wu during his lifetime, nor will he allow others to invade the land of our Kingdom of Wu." Sun Quan stared at Sun Shangxiang's eyes, and said Said word for word.
Sun Shangxiang hesitated. This promise seemed too heavy for her. Sun Shao trusted her, but he had never given her such rights.
"I¡¡"
"Promise me!" Sun Quan suddenly shouted loudly. He threw away the worry-free grass in his hand and strode up to Sun Shangxiang. He held Sun Shangxiang's wrist tightly with his two skinny hands and said through gritted teeth: "Promise me! Sister, please promise me, I beg you.¡±
Sun Shangxiang didn't dare to look at his suddenly crazy eyes and turned his head away, but tears were shaking in his eyes. She knew what this meant. Sun Quan burned the Worry-free Grass and there was only one way left in front of him. Either he could get through and he would be reborn, or he could not get through and he would be tortured to death by the poison. He asked for nothing else but that the state of Wu could continue.
For this, he is willing to pay the price with his life.
"Sister, please promise me!" Sun Quan took half a step back and knelt down in front of Sun Shangxiang with a "plop".
Sun Shangxiang screamed, bent down, and pulled Sun Quan's shoulders hard, trying to pull him up, but Sun Quan used all his strength and just said repeatedly: "Sister, please promise me, I beg you, I beg you. !¡±
Sun Shangxiang burst into tears and blurted out without thinking too much: "Brother, get up, I promise you, I promise you!"
"Thank you, sister, thank you!" Sun Quan choked and shouted at the curtain behind him: "Ziwei, come out."
Sun Ba quickly walked out from behind the curtain, rushed in front of Sun Quan, and looked at him nervously. Sun Quan pulled his sleeve: "Quick, kneel down for your aunt!"
Sun Ba quickly knelt down in front of Sun Shangxiang and kowtowed repeatedly.
"This is the prince I established." Sun Quan said anxiously: "If I can't survive, he will become the heir of Wu. Sister, you have to help me look after him and Wu."
"I know! I know!" Sun Shangxiang nodded repeatedly, tears streaming down his face.
"Thank you!" Sun Quan was already out of breath, and turned to Gu Li and said, "Please come with the queen and madam!"
Gu Li hurried away, and not long after, Queen Xu and Mrs. Bu arrived in a hurry. Sun Quan pointed his hand and ordered Sun Ba: "From now on, your mother is the queen. You must treat her like your biological mother. Do you hear me?"
Sun Ba is also a smart man. He already understood what Sun Quan meant. He turned around and knelt in front of Queen Xu: "My son, I pay homage to my mother!"
Queen Xu was stunned and at a loss. Mrs. Bu tugged at her sleeves quickly before she came to her senses and hurriedly helped Sun Ba up: "Your Majesty, please get up. Your Majesty, please get up." She had never given birth, and suddenly she had such a big son. She really Some don't know how to cope.
"Trainer, she is not very familiar with children's affairs. You have to help her, you have to help her" Sun Quan turned his face and looked at Mrs. Bu pleadingly. Mrs. Bu nodded in agreement. Sun Ba turned around and saluted Mrs. Bu.
"Okay." Sun Quan breathed a long sigh of relief: "Pass the imperial edict and order the general to return to Jianye on foot to be the prince's tutor. Prime Minister Zhuge Jin is ordered to be the prince's young tutor. Zhuge Ke and Quan Cong are ordered to serve as ministers "
Sun Quan announced the candidates for many auxiliary ministers in one breath. By the end of the sentence, he was out of breath, out of breath, his face was swollen red, and his voice was hoarse. However, he still insisted on finishing, and finally said with a hoarse voice. He looked at Sun Shangxiang with pleading eyes: "Sister, please come back to Jianye."
Sun Shangxiang burst into tears.
¡¡
"That's it?" Sun Shao finished listening to Sun Shangxiang's narration and looked at Sun Shangxiang with red and swollen eyes expressionlessly. Sun Shangxiang nodded, fearing that he would not believe it, and told him how he had witnessed Sun Quan being tortured to death by drug addiction, as if he had escaped from death every time, and finally said pleadingly: "Fengxian, the third son of a tall man. I've seen all the sons. Although I don't have any skills in recognizing people, I can still see that those three children don't have the qualifications in this area"
Sun Shao smiled, and Sun Shangxiang stopped talking and looked at Sun Shao cautiously. If Sun Shao wanted to take this opportunity to interfere in Wu State's affairs, then she would have messed up the matter, but she really didn't want Sun Shao to have such thoughts. Wu and Yue States both belonged to the Sun family, so why bother? It must be handed over to Sun Shao. The territory of Yue State is now larger than that of the entire Han Dynasty, so why bother holding on to this little territory of Wu State.
"Fengxian, ifif you are not satisfied, I am willingwilling to give up my fiefdom."
"Hehehe" Sun Shao couldn't help but laugh, glanced at Sun Shangxiang meaningfully, and shook his head: "Even you think I want the land of Wu State, so you can see what other people will think. Don't worry, I didn't With this thought, you have done this very well, very well. Not only will I not reduce your fiefdom, I will also increase it for you. Which one do you have your eye on?"
Sun Shangxiang felt relieved, raised his sleeves and wiped the corners of his eyes and said: "I don't want any fiefdom. If you think so, I am satisfied. I am happier than any fiefdom."
"No?" Sun Shao blinked, thought for a while and said, "Then give it to Zi Gao's child. Alas, Zi Gao is such a pity."
Sun Shangxiang also sighed.
Sun Shao was silent for a moment, and then said: "Let Dahu go to Jianye and apologize to him. In addition, by the way, let's invite Sun Ba to Luoyang to attend the court meeting."
Sun Shangxiang glanced at him, thought about it, and nodded in agreement.
¡¡
In March of the 18th year of the Republic of China, Sun Shao led a huge fleet up the river and arrived at Luoyang City. The emperor ordered the kings of Wei, Cao Rui, and Shu, who had arrived earlier, to go to Luoyang.Zhang Zhao, Prime Minister Gu Yong, and imperial censor Zhang Yin all went out to welcome him, which was a great honor. Sun Shao looked at Liu Chan carefully for a while, and secretly laughed in his heart. The Liu Chan in front of him was of medium to tall height, with a kind face. Although he didn't look very smart and strong, he was by no means a 250-year-old. Very measured and nothing rude.
"The King of Wei and the King of Shu are both young and talented. Compared with you two, I have become an old man." Sun Shao laughed loudly and pointed at the prince Sun Feng behind him: "Why don't you come forward and say goodbye to the two of you?" Your Majesty, do you salute?"
Sun Feng quickly stepped forward to salute. Cao Rui returned the courtesy and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, with Zhang Gong and Gu Gong here, how can you say you are old? When I reach your age, if I can achieve half of your achievements, the ancestors of my Cao family will definitely be the best. Very satisfied.¡±
"Hehehe" Sun Shao said with a smile: "The ancestors of your Cao family must be very satisfied now, because the Han Dynasty will soon have two more kings surnamed Cao. Your Cao family has three kingdoms. Can the ancestors still be dissatisfied? I'm afraid they will be too busy enjoying blood and food, right?"
Cao Rui was stunned for a moment. This was the first time he heard this. He didn't quite understand what Sun Shao meant. Sun Shao didn't say much to him, but turned around and saw Liu Chan looking at Sun Feng with envy, and praised him repeatedly: "Your Majesty, the King of Wei may be able to deserve it, but I, Liu Chan, cannot bear it. According to me Look, the prince is the real young hero. He has made such great achievements before he was twenty years old. I have been a great man for more than 400 years, and only the champion can compare with you."
Sun Feng quickly said a few words of modesty.
Liu Chan turned around and said to General Zhang Fei, who had white hair and beard. There was undisguised excitement in his tone: "General, Xingcai has always said that she wants to marry a hero. I think the prince is very suitable."
Zhang Fei was very embarrassed. His eldest daughter was Liu Chan's queen, and he originally intended to bring his younger sister into the palace as a companion, but the younger daughter despised Liu Chan and claimed that she wanted to marry a young hero. This actually meant that Liu Chan was a loser. But Liu Chan didn't know whether he was pretending not to understand or he really didn't understand, but he actually took it seriously. Now when he saw Sun Feng, he was busy trying to be a matchmaker for his sister-in-law. It was really dumbfounding. He quickly smiled and said: "The prince is such a hero. He has fought thousands of miles at a young age. The country of Yue is full of outstanding people and has a bad star. How can he have such a blessing?"
Sun Feng has also been worried about having too many women recently. Zhang Yu is the crown prince who has been destined for a long time, and Yang Huiyu is also a confidant who shares his heart. Together with the Teutonic beauties, he already has three women. For the sake of fame, Because of this, the Teutonic beauty almost made Daqiao angry. How dare he cause trouble again. What's more, Zhang Zhao was right in front of him, so he didn't dare to be presumptuous. He kept saying modest words, but Liu Chan was wishful thinking and thought it was good. He held Sun Feng's hand and kept talking, talking about how beautiful his sister-in-law Zhang Xingcai was, how powerful she was in martial arts, and how she and Sun Feng were a perfect match.
Sun Shao couldn¡¯t help but laugh when he heard this. Is Zhang Xingcai beautiful?
With such an episode, the atmosphere suddenly became relaxed. Everyone entered the city together. Sun Shao, led by Zhang Zhao, first went to stay at the Yue King's residence in the west of Luoyang City. After resting for a long time, the emperor issued an edict to meet him. Then he rushed to Deyang Hall in Beigong. Deyang Palace is the largest palace in Luoyang City. It is the place where the emperor receives congratulations from hundreds of officials and banquets with ministers. It is so big that thousands of people can stand there, which is suitable for Sun Shao to present his prisoners and contributions.
The emperor was very happy when he saw Sun Shao. He lowered his rank to greet him. He laughed loudly from afar and said: "Hahaha My General Fuyi is back. Okay, okay. My dear, I will send my Han soldiers." My power has spread thousands of miles away, allowing the people of Qin and Persia to see the might of my great Han Dynasty. He is truly my blessed general. Come, come, please come to the palace and accept the congratulations of the ministers with me."
Sun Shao quickly declined, saying that he did not dare. After a long while of mutual humility, he reluctantly stood in front of the emperor and took on the important task of introducing him to the emperor.
This time Sun Shao returned from the Persian campaign and prepared a large number of gifts, including thousands of prisoners of war and beauties of various races, as well as a large number of rare birds and animals. There are many animals on the African grasslands that the Han people have never heard of. There are so many species of lions, giraffes, etc. that it is enough to open a zoo in Luoyang. When the emperor received the gift list from Sun Shao in advance, he was happy and worried at the same time. He was happy that Sun Shao was generous and gave many things, but he was worried that the property could be placed directly in the Shaofu warehouse, but where to put these animals? Later, Gu Yong reminded him to seize the time to repair Shanglin Garden outside the city and expand the garden there into a royal zoo.
Now, watching the groups of barbarians in strange costumes passing by in front of him, and watching the huge, ridiculously tall, or beautiful animals presented to them one after another, Liu Xie smiled broadly and was in a very good mood. . At the end, when the kings and envoys of many small countries in West Asia, Africa, and Europe who came with Sun Shao came forward to salute, and sang the names of their countries in turn to pay tribute to the Han Emperor,Liu Xie was really in a mood.
Since he ascended the throne at the age of nine, he never thought that there would be such a day. Although the only area of ??land he directly controlled was Henan County, the war flag of the Han Dynasty was planted thousands of miles away, and almost everyone in the world stood beside him. in front of him.
Salute to him, salute to the great man!
All nations come to court!
Liu Xie's eyes were a little moist. He watched motionless as countless people saluted in front of him. It wasn't until Sun Shao, Cao Rui, Liu Chan and Sun Ba saluted in front of him that he changed from the dreamlike mood. Wake up.
He immediately announced a banquet for all the ministers and held a banquet in the ridiculously large square of Deyang Palace.
After a few days of celebration, Liu Xie issued an edict again, ordering the four kings to enter the palace to discuss politics, discuss rewards and other matters. Sun Shao entered the palace following the imperial edict, but was told that the emperor was not in the Baiguan Chao Hall, but in the Changqiu Hall in the South Palace. Sun Shao was very surprised. Usually the emperor and his ministers discuss affairs in the Baiguan Chao Hall, why was it changed to the Changqiu Hall? . With a lot of suspicion, he walked through the long complex road and came to the Changqiu Hall of Nangong under the leadership of several small yellow gates.
Changqiu Palace is an ordinary palace in the South Palace, but Changqiu Palace has a building that no other palace has - Yuntai. During the reign of Emperor Xiaoming, he built a cloud platform in the Changqiu Hall and painted images of the Twenty-Eight Constellations on it to show his merit. When Dong Zhuo burned Luoyang, Yuntai was not spared. The image was completely destroyed. Although it has been restored, traces of the fireworks still remain.
"My dear, this is a place to commemorate my ancestors. These famous generals have made great achievements for the Han Dynasty, but this is also a place that was burned and destroyed by warriors."
Sun Shao remained silent and walked up to carefully look at the images of famous generals remaining on the wall. He could roughly guess what the emperor meant by these, but he didn't care. Today's big men are no longer what they were back then. Big man, I'm afraid the emperor will not be able to succeed if he tries to use a glass of wine to release his military power.
He looked at each one quietly, and the emperor was not in a hurry. He stood there quietly. When he met someone who was already blurry, he stepped forward to point out which one it was. When he was a child, he was taken care of by Empress Dowager Dong. The big one is that Empress Dowager Dong lives in the Jiade Hall of Yongle Palace in the Nangong Palace. He is so familiar with this cloud platform that he can point out which one is whose with his eyes closed.
Sun Shao finally finished reading. He straightened up, looked around, and suddenly said: "Dong Zhuo caused trouble and destroyed the palace. Now that the Han Dynasty has achieved peace and prosperity in the world, how can we let these sages be humiliated? Your Majesty, I am willing to pay a thousand catties of gold. Rebuild the cloud platform to appease the spirits of all the sages in heaven." He turned to the smiling emperor and said: "I have an unkind request, but please allow your Majesty's permission."
The emperor smiled and said: "Does Aiqing also want to leave a portrait here? With Aiqing's merits, it goes without saying."
Sun Shao shook his head: "Although I have made minor achievements, how dare I be ranked with the sages. I just feel that Emperor Xiaoming wanted to prevent his relatives from participating in politics, so General Fubo Ma Yuan and Zheng Qiang Hou Laishu were not among them. At that time, they were naturally The late emperor thought carefully, but after all, it was unfair to the princes, so I suggested that they be added to the list to show their merit."
The emperor frowned, Sun Shao asked to rebuild the cloud platform, which was certainly a good thing, but he also wanted to add Ma Yuan, Lai She and others to the cloud, which seemed to have ulterior motives. Ma Yuan was famous for his achievements in the southern expedition, and a large part of Laishe's achievements were in the conquest of the Qiang people. Otherwise, he would not be called the Marquis of the Qiang. If there were them, how would Sun Shao's credit be counted? Should he be among them?
