Chapter 92 All Nations Come to Korea
Sun Shangxiang looked at Sun Deng's three sons and sighed. Although the three children looked a little like Sun Deng, it was obvious that Sun Deng did not have much time to teach them. The three children only inherited his weakness. Under Sun Shangxiang's gaze, they were trembling and did not even dare to raise their heads.
Such a person is obviously not a suitable candidate for Sijun. Sun Shangxiang understands why Sun Quan was angry when she heard her mention of this matter. If he forcibly asks Sun Quan to choose one of the three children as Sijun, it can only be said that Sun Shao has the intention to annex the State of Wu.
Sun Shangxiang didn't know if Sun Shao had this idea. She just touched the heads of the three children, and then left a piece of property. Without saying anything, she turned around and went out. She was not interested in seeing Sun Quan again. She was desperate for Sun Quan and had nothing to talk about. After leaving Sun Deng's house, she was ready to go back to Qian Tang directly.
But she was stopped by Sun Quan and Hu Zong at the gate of the city, but Hu Zong had no time to wipe the sweat on her head. She said breathlessly, "Your Majesty, please ask the eldest princess to stay."
Sun Shangxiang's heart was suddenly stirped, and the ghost followed Hu Zong to the Wu Palace.
Sun Quan sat by the couch. Although his face was still very bad, he was much more energetic and not so manic. He just couldn't help shaking his hands. On the case in front of him, there was still some soup in a large bowl, and the simmering fog still emitted a strong fragrance. A brocade box was placed aside, and the copper buckle was rubbed to shine.
Sun Shangxiang's face darkened, and the hope that had just bulged up immediately turned into a bubble. She could see that Sun Quan had just drunk the soup mixed with worry-free grass, but he still failed to resist the worry-free grass**.
"I just drank two bowls of soup, so I still have the energy to talk to you." Sun Quan seemed to see what Sun Shangxiang was thinking and said bluntly, "I hope you can listen to me and give me a clear answer."
"You said it." Sun Shangxiang said coldly and turned a blind eye to the couch that Hu Zong had moved here. Obviously, she did not intend to say anything more to Sun Quan and was ready to turn around and leave at any time.
"He said that this poison has no antidote. Can it be detoxified? I can only look at myself. Is there this sentence?"
"Yes."
"That is to say, if I stop using this medicine from now on, there will be only two results, either from the dead or the death."
Facing Sun Quan's calm eyes, Sun Shangxiang hesitated for a moment and nodded.
Sun Quan nodded silently, reached out and pulled the brocade box on the case, and opened the copper buckle with a "pop" sound. There were more than a dozen worry-free grass in the brocade box. He gently stroked these worry-free grasses with his hand, as if he were touching the delicate skin of his lover, with endless thoughts. Sun Shangxiang's eyes became more and more disdainful, and his contempt came out without concealment.
Sun Quan picked up a worry-free grass, looked at the withered flowers in front of the light, and slowly reached to the lights. 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 grass. Now I have burned all these. The next time I have another attack, whether I can survive is to see whether God or not to take care of me." Sun Quan slowly lit the worry-free grass, slowly rotated the burning flower stems, and raised his eyelids to look at Sun Shangxiang. I don't know when his trembling hands did not shake, and his eyes became calm. If I can survive, there will be no problem. If I can't survive, can you promise me one thing?
Sun Shangxiang realized something. She bit her lip and said, "Say it."
"I guarantee that the State of Wu can be passed on. No matter who I am the crown prince, he can't invade the land of the State of Wu in his lifetime, nor can he let others invade the land of the State of Wu." Sun Quan stared at Sun Shangxiang's eyes and said word by word.
Sun Shangxiang hesitated. This promise seemed too heavy for her. Sun Shao trusted her, but he never gave her such a right.
"I..."
"Promise me!" Sun Quan suddenly shouted loudly. He threw away the worry-free grass in his hand and strode to Sun Shangxiang. His two thin hands held Sun Shangxiang's wrists tightly, gritted his teeth and said, "Promise me!" Girl, promise me, I beg you."
Sun Shangxiang didn't dare to look at his suddenly crazy eyes. He turned his head and avoided it, but tears swayed in his eyes. She knew what it meant. Sun Quan burned the worry-free grass, and there was only one way left in front of him. Either he broke through, he was reborn in the fire, or he could not break through, and he would be tortured to death by the poison. He didn't ask for anything else, but only that the state of Wu could continue.
For this, he is willing to pay the price of his life."Sister, promise me!" Sun Quan stepped back half a step and knelt down in front of Sun Shangxiang with a "plop".
Sun Shangxiang screamed, bent down, pulled Sun Quan's shoulder hard, and tried to pull him up, but Sun Quan used all his strength and just said repeatedly, "Sister, you promise me, I beg you, I beg you!"
Sun Shangxiang burst into tears. He couldn't think too much and blurted out, "Brother, get up, I promise you, I promise you!"
"Thank you, girl, thank you!" Sun Quan choked and shouted at the curtain behind him, "Ziwei, come out."
Sun Ba quickly stepped out from behind the curtain, rushed to Sun Quan, and looked at him nervously. Sun Quan pulled his sleeve and said, "Come on, kneel down for your aunt!"
Sun Ba quickly knelt down in front of Sun Shangxiang and kowtowed repeatedly.
"This is the prince I set up." Sun Quan said anxiously, "If I can't get through it, he will become the heir of the State of Wu. Girl, you have to help me take a good look at him and the State of Wu.
"I know! I know!" Sun Shangxiang nodded repeatedly, and tears fell like rain.
"Thank you very much!" Sun Quan was already a little panting, and turned to Gu Li and said, "Please come, Queen and Madam!"
Gu Li left in a hurry. After a short time, Queen Xu and Mrs. Bu arrived in a hurry. Sun Quan pointed his hand and ordered Sun Ba to say, "From now on, your mother is the queen. You are going to treat him like your biological mother. Do you hear me?"
Sun Ba is also a smart man. He has understood Sun Quan's meaning and turned around and knelt in front of Queen Xu: "My son, I will see my mother!"
Queen Xu was stunned and at a loss. Mrs. Bu quickly pulled her sleeve, and then she came to her senses and hurriedly helped Sun Ba: "Prince, please get up, prince, please get up." She has never had children, and suddenly there is such a big son. She really doesn't know how to deal with it.
"Master, she is not familiar with her children's affairs. You have to help her, help her..." Sun Quan turned his face and looked at Mrs. Bu imploring. Mrs. Bu nodded. Sun Ba turned around and saluted Mrs. Bu again.
"Okay." Sun Quan breathed a long sigh of relief: "The edict is to order the general to return to Jianye, to be the crown prince, to be the prime minister Zhuge Jin to be the prince, and Zhuge Ke and Quan Zong to be the servant..."
Sun Quan announced the candidates of many auxiliary ministers in one breath. In the end, he was already out of breath, out of breath, his face was red, and his voice was hoarse, but he still insisted on saying it. Finally, he looked at Sun Shangxiang with a hoarse voice and asked for help: "Sister, come back to Jianye."
Sun Shangxiang cried bitterly.
... "That's it?" After listening to Sun Shangxiang's story, Sun Shao looked at Sun Shangxiang with red and swollen eyes with a blank face. Sun Shangxiang nodded, afraid that he would not believe it. He saw with his own eyes that Sun Quan was tortured to death by drug addiction. Every time he said it as if he had escaped from death, and finally pleaded, he said, "Fengxian, I have seen all three sons of Zi Gao. Although I don't have the skill to know people, I can also see that The three children are not qualified in this regard..."
Sun Shao smiled. Sun Shangxiang stopped talking and looked at Sun Shao carefully. If Sun Shao wants to take this opportunity to intervene in the affairs of the State of Wu, then she will mess up the matter, but she really doesn't want Sun Shao to have such an idea. The State of Wu and the State of Yue are all Sun's family, so why must it be handed over to Sun Shao? The territory of the State of Yue is now larger than that of the whole Han Dynasty, and there is no need to bite the territory of the State of Wu.
"Feng Xian, if... if you are not satisfied, I am willing to... willing to give up my fief."
"Hehehe..." Sun Shao couldn't help laughing. He looked at Sun Shangxiang meaningfully and shook his head: "You even think I miss the land of the State of Wu, which shows what others will think. Don't worry, I don't have that in mind. You have done a very good job. Not only will I not cut your fiefdom, but I will also give you more. Which one do you like?
Sun Shangxiang was relieved. She raised her sleeves and wiped the corners of her eyes and said, "I don't want any fief. If you can think so, I will be satisfied and happier than any fief."
"No?" Sun Shao blinked his eyes and thought for a thought, "Then give it to Zi Gao's child. Alas, it's a pity for Zi Gao."
Sun Shangxiang also sighed.
Sun Shao was silent for a moment and said, "Let Dahu go to Jianye and apologize to him. In addition, invite Sun Ba to Luoyang to attend the court meeting by the way."
Sun Shangxiang took a look at him, thought for a thought, and nodded.
... In March of the 18th year of the Republic, Sun Shao led a huge fleet up the river and went straight to Luoyang City. Cao Rui, the king of Wei, Liu Chan, the king of Shu, and Zhang Zhao, the prime minister Gu Yong, and Zhang Yin, the imperial historian Zhang Yin, who arrived in advance. It can be said to have given him a lot of face. Sun Shao looked at Liu Chan for a while and smiled secretly in his heart. Liu Chan in front of him had a medium-high figure and a kind face. Although he did not look very shrewd and strong, he was by no means two hundred and fifty. He was very measured in his manners and was not rude.
"The king of Wei and the king of Shu are young and talented. Compared with you two, I have become an old man." Sun Shao laughed and pointed to the descendants behind him: "Why don't you salute the two kings?"
Sun Feng hurried forward to salute. Cao Rui saluted and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, with Zhang and Gu Gong here, how can you say that you are old? When I reach your age, if I can have half of your achievements, I, the ancestors of the Cao family, will definitely be very satisfied.
"Hehehe..." Sun Shao smiled and said, "Your ancestors of the Cao family must be very satisfied now, because the big man is about to have two more kings surnamed Cao. Your Cao family has three kingdoms. Can the ancestors of the Cao family still be dissatisfied? I'm afraid they can't enjoy blood and food, right?
Cao Rui was stunned for a moment. It was the first time he heard this matter, and he didn't quite understand what Sun Shao meant for a moment. Sun Shao didn't say much to him. He turned around and saw Liu Chan looking at Sun Feng with an envious face. He even praised, "Your Majesty's praise. The King of Wei may be worthy, but I, Liu Chan, can't afford it. In my opinion, the prince is the real young hero. He made such a contribution before he was 20 years old. I have been in the Han Dynasty for more than 400 years, and only the champion can be compared with you.
Sun Feng hurriedly said a few words modestly.
Liu Chan turned to Zhang Fei, a general with white hair, and said with undisguised excitement in his tone: "General, Xing Cai has always said that he 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. Originally, she intended to take her sister into the palace as a companion, but her youngest daughter looked down on Liu Chan and claimed to marry a young hero, which actually meant that Liu Chan was a waste, but Liu Chan didn't know whether she pretended not to understand or really didn't understand. She actually took it seriously. Now Seeing Sun Feng, he was so busy as a matchmaker for his sister-in-law, which really made people laugh and cry. He hurriedly smiled and said, "The prince is such a hero, and he fights for thousands of miles at a young age. The country of Yue is also an outstanding person, and the stars are stubborn. How can he have such a blessing?"
Sun Feng has also been worried about too many women recently. Zhang Yu is the crown princess who has been appointed for a long time, and Yang Huiyu is also a acquaintance with him. Coupled with the beautiful woman, he already has three women. For the sake of fame, the beautiful woman almost made the bridge angry. How dare he make trouble again? What's more, Zhang Zhao was right in front of him, so he didn't dare to be presumptuous. He said a few words modestly, but Liu Chan felt good wishfully. He took Sun Feng's hand and kept lobbying. He opened his mouth and closed his mouth how beautiful his sister-in-law Zhang Xingcai was and how strong his martial arts were. He and Sun Feng were a pair of Yunyun.
Sun Shao couldn't help laughing. Is Zhang Xingcai beautiful?
With such an episode, the atmosphere suddenly became relaxed. Everyone entered the city together. Under the leadership of Zhang Zhao, Sun Shao first lived in the Yuewang Mansion in the west of Luoyang City. After resting for a long time, the emperor gave an edict to meet him, and then rushed to the Deyang Hall of the North Palace. Deyang Hall is the largest palace in Luoyang City. It is the place where the emperor receives the congratulations of hundreds of officials and feasts with ministers. It is not a problem for thousands of people to stand, which is suitable for Sun Shao to offer prisoners and contributions.
As soon as the emperor saw Sun Shao, he was very happy. He stepped down to greet him. He laughed loudly from afar and said, "Hahaha... My General Fuyi is back. Well, okay, Aiqing extended the military power of my Han Dynasty to thousands of miles away, so that the Qin and Persian people can see the power of my Han Dynasty. It is really my blessing. Come and come. Please go to the palace and accept the congratulations of the ministers with me.
Sun Shao quickly refused and said that he did not dare. After giving in to each other for a long time, he reluctantly stood in front of the emperor and took on the important task of introducing the emperor.
This time, Sun Shao returned from the Persian campaign and prepared a large number of gifts, not only thousands of prisoners of war and beautiful women of all races, but also a large number of rare birds and beasts. There are many animals on the African grasslands that are unheard of for the Han people, such as lions, giraffes and so on. There are enough species to open a zoo in Luoyang. When the emperor received Sun Shao's gift list in advance, he was happy and worried. What he was happy was that Sun Shao was generous and gave a lot of things. What he was worried about was that the property could be put directly in the warehouse of Shaofu, but where did these animals go? Later, Gu Yong reminded him to hurry up to repair the Shanglin Garden outside the city and expand the garden there into a royal zoo.
Now, looking at a team of strangely dressed Hu people passing in front of him, looking at a huge, tall or beautiful mess of animals in turn, Liu Xie smiled and was in a very good mood. In 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 together, sang the name of their own country in turn, and paid tribute to the emperor of the Han Dynasty, Liu Xie was really a little fluttered.
He has been on the throne since he was nine years old, and he has never thought that there will be such a day. Although the land area he directly controls is only Henan County, the battle flag of the Han Dynasty has been planted thousands of miles away, and almost the whole world stands in front of him.
Salute to him and to the big man!
All nations come to Korea!
Liu Xie's eyes were a little moist. He watched countless people saluting in front of him motionlessly. It was not until Sun Shao, Cao Rui, Liu Chan and Sun Ba saluted in front of him that he woke up from a dreamy mood.
He immediately announced the banquet of the ministers and held a banquet in the somewhat unsential square of Deyang Hall.
After a few days of celebration, Liu Xie once again ordered the four kings to enter the palace to discuss politics and discuss rewards and other matters. Sun Shao entered the palace under the imperial edict, but he was told that the emperor was not in the hall of the Hundred Officials, and in the Changqiu Hall of the South Palace, Sun Shao was very surprised. Usually, the kings and ministers were in the hall of the Hundred Officials. Why did he change to the Changqiu Hall again? With a lot of suspicion, he passed through the long corridor and came to the Nangong Changqiu Hall under the leadership of several small yellow doors.
Changqiu Hall is an ordinary palace in the South Palace, but Changqiu Hall has a building that other palaces do not have - Yuntai. During the reign of Emperor Xiaoming, he built a cloud platform in the Changqiu Hall and painted 28 images on it to show his achievements. Dong Zhuo burned Luoyang, and Yuntai was not spared. The image was destroyed. Although it has been repaired, the traces of fireworks still exist.
"Aiqing, this is a place to commemorate my sages. These famous generals have made great achievements for the Han Dynasty, but this is also the place burned by the warriors."
Sun Shao was silent and stepped forward to take a closer look at the images of the remaining famous generals on the wall. He could roughly guess what the emperor meant, but he didn't care. Today's big man was no longer the big man at that time. I'm afraid that the emperor could not succeed if he wanted to play the trick of releasing military power with a glass of wine.
He looked at it quietly one by one, and the emperor was not in a hurry. He stood there quietly. When he encountered something that was already blurred, he also stepped forward and pointed out which one he was. He was brought up by the Empress Dowager Dong when he was a child. The Empress Dowager Dong lived in the Jiade Hall of Yongle Palace in the South Palace. He was so familiar with this cloud platform that he could point out with his eyes closed. Who is it?
Sun Shao finally finished reading it. He straightened up, looked around for a week, and suddenly said, "Dong Zhuo was in chaos and destroyed the palace. Now that the Han Dynasty has been peaceful and powerful all over the world, how can these sages be ashamed? Your Majesty, I am willing to pay a thousand pounds of gold to repair the cloud platform to comfort the sages in heaven. He turned to the smiling emperor and said, "I have a mercy, please give your majesty's permission."
The emperor smiled and said, "Does Aiqing also want to stay here? With the credit of Aiqing, it is naturally needless to say.
Sun Shao shook his head: "Although I had a small contribution, I did not dare to be side with the sages. I just felt that at the beginning, in order to avoid foreign relatives from participating in politics, Emperor Xiaoming, made Fubo General Ma Yuan, Zhengqiang Marquis Lai She and others not be included in the list. At that time, the former emperor was thoughtful, but after all, it was unfair to the public. I suggested that I add them in order to show them. Gong."
The emperor frowned, and Sun Shao asked to repair Yuntai. Of course, this is a good thing, but he also wants to add Ma Yuan, Lai She and others to the cloud, which seems to have no other intention. Ma Yuan's achievements in the south of the expedition are famous in later generations, and a large part of the merits of Lai She are also against the Qiang people, otherwise he could not be called the Marquis of Qiang. If there are them, what about Sun Shao's credit? Should he be among them?
