Chapter 54: Something Happened to Your Family
"Taishou, are you going too far by urging the Bu family like this? Will Bu Xie really hand over 200,000 stone of grain to us? That's 200,000 stone of grain! β
"Hmph, yes. Chengzuo, let's make a bet, that stupid melon from the Bu Association will honestly send me food. β
"Shou doesn't know where Taishou got his confidence. Well, even so, after this step is put back, will the step family retaliate? β
"Just those two pieces of waste from the Bu family?" Guan Yi sneered contemptuously: "Let's not say that the alliance between Han and Wu can't see signs of rupture in a short period of time, the general environment is like this, and the big war between the two countries can't be fought." Even if the Bu family goes crazy and comes to attack my big man. An army of more than 1,000 could only go through Patong County. And Padang County has your junior brother Luo Xian Luo Lingze. β
On the basis of history, because Deng Ai invaded the CD Plain, Liu Chan ordered Yan Yu, the governor of Yong'an, to lead an army to rescue the CD. When Yan Yu left, he only left 2,000 people for Badong Taishou Luo Xian. And Luo Xian relied on these 2,000 people to shoot the 30,000 people of the Bu Association into pigs' heads. All in all, the hero of Buqi Buzi Mountain, but the two sons are all embroidered pillows.
"Taishou, although it is impossible for the war between Han and Wu to start now, we must also beware of the Bu family blocking our trade routes in Xiling. Now that I have more than 2,000 strong laborers in Fuling County, the scale of production of various materials will definitely continue to expand, and when the time comes, this trade route will be cut off, and the more output there will be, the more problems there will be. β
"Well, Ling Bo has a point. But I can guarantee that the Bujia will be in big trouble soon. At that time, he will beg to please us. Not to mention cutting off our trade routes. β
The year is 258 AD, and it is already the beginning of October. Guan Yi, as a traverser, knew that Soochow was about to change.
In fact, limited to the limitations of transportation in this era, Guan Yi, who is in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, does not know that the construction of the capital of Dongwu in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River is already full of people at this time.
At the beginning of September 258, the sixteen-year-old second emperor of Eastern Wu, Sun Liang, was dissatisfied with the general Sun Qi's control of the government and killed political enemies everywhere. So he prepared to launch a coup d'Γ©tat to get rid of Sun Qi.
If the emperor wants to be a powerful minister, he generally has to rely on eunuchs and relatives. The eunuchs of Eastern Wu are not energetic, so Sun Liang's only choice is his wife's family, the Quan clan of Eastern Wu. The founder of this family is the famous general Quan Cong of Eastern Wu. Quan Cong's wife is Sun Quan's favorite daughter - Sun Luban. In Sun Quan's later years, Sun Luban was the person who could influence Sun Quan's will the most, Sun Liang was able to ascend the throne, and Sun Luban made a lot of efforts. As a guarantee of interest exchange, Sun Liang married the daughter of the whole family, so as to ensure the prosperity and wealth of the next generation of the family.
Sun Liang's father-in-law is called Quan Shang, and his eldest brother is called Quan Ji. After deciding to do something to Sun Qi, Sun Liang first told Quan Ji about the plan and asked Quan Ji to tell Quan Shang to find a way to implement it. Sun Liang specially told Quan Ji: Just tell your father about this matter, don't tell your mother. Your mother is Sun Qi's cousin (the marriage relationship of the Gaomen clan is extremely complicated, ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign), in case she knows, our plan will be leaked.
Jeonji told his father honestly and kept his mother tight-lipped. But who knew that Quan Shang was a big mouth, and he actually told his wife about it. And then...... On September 26, Sun Qi led his troops to kill the courtiers who participated in the plot, and they were bleeding all over the ground. Quan Shang and Quan Ji were all killed - since the late period of Sun Quan's reign, the whole family that had been in power because of Sun Luban completely declined.
After killing the whole family, Sun Qi, who had a mortal enmity with the emperor, naturally deposed Sun Liang and demoted him to the king of Huiji. Then Sun Liang's brother, Sun Quan's sixth son, Sun Xiu, the king of Langya, ascended to the throne - two years later, Sun Liang, who was only eighteen years old, died violently.
Of course, for the family of Eastern Wu, the Emperor of the Sun family is just the leader of everyone's alliance, and it is not a big deal to change someone. It's a pity that this is like this for the general family, but for the Bu family in Xiling, Shizhen, it is very uneasy.
Because the step family and the whole family are political allies. Not an ordinary exchange of interests combined with allies. Rather, it is the kind of ally that has been tested by blood and fire and has a firm revolutionary friendship. This kind of friendship, on the one hand, comes from the friendship between Buqi and Quan Cong who have worked together for many years and cooperated happily, and more importantly, the Bu family and the whole family are the Lu Wang Party in the Nanlu Party struggle that year.
In ancient Chinese feudal society, the residence of the crown prince was generally called the East Palace - the emperor was the sun in the middle of the day. The crown prince is the rising sun in the east. But in the strange regime of Soochow, the crown prince's residence is not called Donggong but Nangong (well, the sun rises from the south in Soochow). Therefore, the so-called Southern Lu party struggle refers to the struggle between the crown prince and the king of Lu for the throne of the Eastern Wu Emperor.
Sun Quan's eldest son, Sun Deng, the first prince of Eastern Wu, died in front of Sun Quan. Therefore, Sun Quan later canonized his second son and son as the new crown prince. Originally, this was nothing, but when he was crowned as the crown prince, he also appointed his fourth son Sun Ba as the king of Lu. And it was publicly stipulated that King Lu enjoyed the same treatment as the crown prince.
Big brother, you're taking the initiative to stir up trouble.
Then, Sun Ba, who was deeply encouraged, began to attack the prince with various provocations. And the crown prince Sun He was not a fuel-efficient lamp, and immediately began to fight back. Of course, the crown prince and King Lu have noble statuses, and it is impossible to directly find a place to fight like the two brothers in a commoner family fighting for family property. The struggle between the two sides was mainly achieved through their respective henchmen. This is the Nanlu party struggle.
Anyone who knows a little bit about history knows that it is very bad for a country to be caught in a partisan strife: I will oppose what you support, and I will support what you oppose. As for the right or wrong of the matter itself, it is completely out of the scope of consideration. The party strife in Nanlu lasted for seven or eight years. After such a long period of party strife, the Eastern Wu court was completely divided, and the executive power of the central government was reduced to a level close to nothing.
Moreover, unlike the general party struggle, the Nanlu party struggle just happened to meet the replacement of the old and the new in Eastern Wu: Gu Yong, Zhuge Jin, Zhang Zhao and other founding ministers died one after another, and the new second generation of officials did not have the discipline of the older generation of politicians who were old and serious, took the overall situation into account, and stopped in moderation. There is no bottom line at all when the two sides fight. Framing, suppression, attack, and even assassination, public dueling, and so on, all kinds of extremes are used. This matter caused such a big fuss that even the high-level leaders of Cao Wei and Shu Han were alarmed.
In the end, Sun Quan suddenly woke up: if he continued like this, the country would die, so he made a decisive move, imprisoned Sun He, gave Sun Ba to death, and singled out the most fierce dancers in the princelings and Lu Wang's party to kill a group and exile a group. Then, at the suggestion of Quan Cong's wife and his favorite daughter Sun Luban, he canonized his youngest son Sun Liang as the crown prince - which led to the death of Sun Quan, and the state power of Eastern Wu fell from the hands of the monarch, until the third emperor Sun Xiu succeeded to the throne.
In the eight-year-long party struggle in Nanlu, the Bu family and the whole family were staunch supporters of King Sun Ba of Lu. The alliance between the two sides continued from the first generation of Buqi and Quan Cong to the generation of Bu Xie and Quan Shang. After Sun Quan's death, Sun Liang served as emperor during this time. As a relative, the whole family was in power in the Eastern Wu court, and it was the umbrella of the Bu family in the court. The step family in Xiling, Shizhen, is a strong support for the whole family in the local area.
Now, the once-prominent family is completely finished, and the Bu family has lost its biggest reliance in the imperial court. You say, Bu Xie still dares to challenge Guan Yi at this time? People killed the red-eyed Sun Qi Zheng, who couldn't find evidence to clean up your house!
Therefore, on October 25, the Mi family's fleet arrived in Fuling with 200,000 stone of grain.
"Taishou is really a god, how do you know that this Sun Qi will be abolished in vain? It's good now, this step family is now in a panic, and they will show favor to our Fuxing Society and the Mi family caravan in the future. β
"Hehehe, this is not necessarily." Guan Yi smiled slightly: "Change, Cheng Zuo, Ling Bo, you are familiar with history books, you should know that if ordinary ministers do things like abolition." What awaits him is a path of no return: either usurp the throne or die. However, this Sun Qi's background is too low, and his bloodline is too far from the royal family of Eastern Wu. And the big families of Eastern Wu hate him very much. He can't usurp the throne. Therefore, the death of this General Sun is not far off. β
On the basis of history, Sun Xiu, the third emperor of Eastern Wu, contacted Ding Feng and other veterans to make Sun Qi less than two months after he ascended the throne.
"So this trip has to work hard to change it, taking advantage of the fact that the situation in Soochow is still unclear and the Bu family is panicking. Our Fuxing Society and their Bujia should sign a cooperation agreement to give them a little sweetness. Let our relationship continue and ensure the smooth flow of the Xiling trade road. β
"No, please rest assured, Taishou, this will definitely be done."
