Compared with Cao Ei, who was ordered to move the capital in a hurry, Sun Quan's recent life has been much more comfortable.

Although under Zhuge Liang's planning, Zhang Zhao, an important minister of Eastern Wu, almost broke with Sun Quan, and the political contradictions within Eastern Wu were secretly intensified.

But Sun Quan is confident.

He is nearly fifty years old, and after decades of ups and downs in power, he is no longer the immature young man who has been in power for five years in Jian'an.

Sun Quan believed that with his ability to control the political situation for many years, Zhang Zhaozhi and his ilk would definitely not succeed in the end, and the political contradictions within Soochow would be gradually and silently resolved by him.

Under this determination, Sun Quan, who has fulfilled his lifelong dream of ascending to the throne, feels quite comfortable in his heart, which is also understandable.

And what made Sun Quan feel even more comfortable was also delivered to Sun Quan in Jianye City on the day of February.

Looking at the conclusive information in his hand, Sun Quan was pleasantly surprised, and many strange emotions suddenly appeared in his heart.

Liu Bei actually died?

Liu Bei is finally dead!

It seems that such things can greatly boost the hearts of the people of Eastern Wu, and it is Yi who is in charge of the intelligence of Eastern Wu, there is really no need to hide it.

Therefore, when this shocking news just arrived in Jianye, the news of Liu Bei's death spread throughout Jianye City in an instant under the operation of Shiyi.

It was expected to be right, when the ministers and celebrities in Jianye City learned the news, they all rushed to tell each other, worship and celebrate.

It's just that Shi Yi is not satisfied with this phenomenon, what he really wants to see is Sun Quan's ecstasy.

But it was clear that Sun Quan's reaction disappointed Shiyi a little.

Although Sun Quan's face was full of joy at the moment, it seemed a little restrained, which was far from the ecstasy he expected.

Shi Yi expressed deep incomprehension about Sun Quan's reaction, and according to common sense, Sun Quan's reaction should not be like this.

It was Yi, who was also an important minister in Huaibei with Zhang Zhao, and seeing that he couldn't figure out Sun Quan's mind for a while, he could only hang his head in a little panic.

It was Yi's reaction, which was clearly captured in his eyes by Sun Quan, who was sitting on the throne. What Shi Yi was worried about, it was not difficult to see through Sun Quan's mind, but he didn't speak out to appease Shi Yi at the first time.

Sun Quan's silence didn't last long, and suddenly Sun Quan's voice sounded clearly in the main hall: "Ziyu, go out for a walk with me."

"Take King Jin with you."

Previously, under Zhang Zhao's fierce struggle, in order to stabilize the situation in Eastern Wu, Sun Quan did not insist on making Sun Ji the crown prince, but in order to reflect the particularity of Sun Ji in his heart, Sun Quan still gave Sun Shu the title of the noble King of Jin.

Shi Yi didn't know why Sun Quan suddenly had this idea, but in the face of Sun Quan's request, Shi Yi didn't dare to have the slightest objection.

After bowing slightly, Shi Yi walked outside, and soon after arranging everything, Yi entered the palace again and welcomed Sun Quan to the car outside the palace.

Because he saw that Sun Quan didn't want to alarm too many people when he went out this time, he just arranged a team of elite guards to follow.

Escorted by the elite guards, the gorgeous chariot slowly walked towards the outside of Jianye City after welcoming his master.

Sun Quan did not tell Shi Yi at first where the destination of his trip was, but soon under Sun Quan's personal instructions, Shi Yi knew where Sun Quan's destination was—it was Jingkou, which was adjacent to Jianye City.

Jingkou is a major town along the Yangtze River, due to the particularity of its geographical location, Sun Quan arranged heavy troops here, the main purpose is to let Jingkou play the role of arch guard Jianye.

As Sun Quan's close minister, Shi Yi certainly knew the strategic importance of Jingkou to Eastern Wu, but Yi didn't know why Sun Quan suddenly wanted to cruise to Jingkou today.

Isn't it that Sun Quan felt that after Liu Bei's death, Mi Yang was in power, and he would brazenly launch a war to destroy the country against Eastern Wu, so he wanted to inspect the Jingkou border defense so that he could feel at ease?

Maybe this kind of thinking is a bit underestimating Sun Quan, but based on Sun Quan's previous performance towards Mi Yang, Yi has to think about it in this way.

When the thoughts in his heart were tumbling, it was Yi who led the convoy to the outside of Jingkou City. Although it is nominally a castle, it is actually more like a large military camp.

After perceiving that he had arrived at Jingkou, Sun Quan signaled the convoy to stop, and when the car came to a stop, Sun Quan slowly walked down from the car with Sun Jian in his arms.

Originally, Yi Yi thought that Sun Quan's direction would be the Jingkou camp, but what made Shi Yi even more puzzled was that Sun Quan was walking towards a high slope outside the Jingkou camp with Sun Wei.

Shi Yi ignored one point, Jingkou was not only a military center of Eastern Wu, but he also had another meaning in Sun Quan's heart.

In the fourteenth year of Jian'an, taking advantage of the sweet period of Chibi's victory, Liu Bei was invited by Sun Quan to come from Jingzhou to Jiangdong to meet Sun Quan.

And that time, the place where these two heroes of the world met was outside the city of Jingkou.

Every time he took a step towards the high slope, Sun Quan's indescribable emotions in his heart would become more intense.

Ask yourself, doesn't Sun Quan want Liu Bei to die?

This is naturally impossible.

Liu Bei's death means that Sun Quan will have one less powerful enemy in the future, which is news that Sun Quan can be thankful for in any way.

It's just that under the joy of going with the flow, Sun Quan's heart still has some sighs and melancholy from time to time.

Over the years, he and Liu Bei have been relatives and allies, and finally become undying enemies, such a relationship is unimaginably complicated for ordinary people.

Under this complicated relationship, Sun Quan was not jealous and hostile to Liu Bei in his heart.

Although he didn't want to declare it, Sun Quan himself knew that he had admiration for Liu Bei in his heart, or rather, the kind of sympathy between enemies and friends?

After standing on a boulder on a high slope, Sun Quan looked at the sword marks on the boulder, and his thoughts couldn't help but return to that day.

The sun was shining that day, and Liu Bei and Sun Quan didn't have so much white hair on their heads, plus because of the excitement brought by the victory over Chibi, Sun Quan and Liu Bei, their expressions were extraordinarily high.

At that moment, Liu Bei and Sun Quan drank and talked to each other, agreed on a covenant of marriage, and thought of working together to help this mournful world.

Maybe the power of the two at that time was not as strong as it is now, but at that time, with the spirit of the two of them, they both felt that their dreams were likely to come true.

When his heart was excited, Liu Bei and Sun Quan jointly drew their swords, leaving a fierce edge on the boulder in front of them.

Heroic spirit, Sun Quan also has it.

But with the development of the current situation, somehow, the rift between Liu Bei and Sun Quan inevitably grew from scratch to the end, and finally became irreparable.

Time has changed, things are people, and standing in front of this boulder full of sword marks again, Sun Quan let out a light sigh uncontrollably.

Sun Quan sighed at Liu Bei's death, but didn't he sigh again, when he dared to draw his sword and ask the sky, he was gone?

In fact, for many years, Sun Quan has always had a feeling of jealousy towards Liu Bei.

Sun Quan is jealous, why Liu Bei can always stick to his heart, and why Liu Bei can create such a huge foundation without being in the same stream as the world.

"Xuande, are you really right?"

Thinking of the past, Sun Quan couldn't help muttering to himself, and Sun Quan used honorific titles for Liu Bei at this time.

But after muttering to himself, Sun Quan struggled again and took advantage of the situation, can he completely blame himself?

Complex emotions intensified in Sun Quan's heart, and with the urgent report from far to near on a flying horse, Sun Quan's complex emotions added a touch of sadness.

"Report to Your Majesty, after Mrs. Liu heard the news of Liu Bei's death, she was so sad and angry that she committed suicide by throwing herself into the river!"

The messenger trembled and knelt down to report the astonishing news to Sun Quan.

Before Sun Quan could react after hearing the news, Yi and Sun Wei on the side first changed their faces.

There is only one person who is called Mrs. Liu in Eastern Wu, and that person is Sun Shangxiang, who was married to Liu Bei by Sun Quan in his early years.

As Sun Quan's sister-in-law, Sun Shangxiang's status in Soochow is self-evident, not to mention that when she married Liu Bei, she already had a strong political intention - if it wasn't for Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei to stop her, Sun Shangxiang would have been able to bring Liu Bei's lifeline Liu Chan back to Jiangdong.

Because of this, after hearing the news for the first time, Shi Yi and Sun Yi couldn't hide the surprise on their faces.

Compared with Sun Yi's sadness after being surprised, Shi Yi was full of fear.

If you really want to talk about it, Sun Shangxiang's throwing into the river today seems to have an inseparable relationship with him......

Just when Shi Yi was afraid and Sun was sad, Sun Quan had just woken up from this sudden bad news.

At that time, he did not hesitate to disobey his mother and married Sun Shangxiang to Liu Bei, apparently in order to conclude an alliance, but his internal intentions could not be concealed from others.

When he heard the news that Sun Shangxiang had thrown himself into the river and followed Liu Bei, Sun Quan's first reaction in his heart was, if he hadn't done this back then, would his sister-in-law have such an end today?

The answer is self-explanatory.

The elder brother is ambitious, and the husband is also ambitious, such a marriage doomed Sun Shangxiang to a tragic ending at the beginning.

Perhaps thinking of the brother-sister relationship when he was a child, coupled with Fang Cai's sadness for Liu Bei, Sun Quan, who had not shed tears for a long time, actually had some tears in his eyes.

But when the situation is like this, how can you blame him!

The sadness and lamentation on Sun Quan's face do not seem to be fake, after all, people are not plants and trees, who can be ruthless.

Whether it is sympathy for Liu Bei or reluctance to miss Sun Shangxiang, in front of Sun Xi and Shiyi, Sun Quan does not need to pretend.

This is Sun Quan's tender side, but Sun Quan is Sun Quan after all.

Sun Quan motioned for Sun Jian to bow in the direction of the Yangtze River and the boulder to show his condolences to Liu Bei and Sun Shangxiang.

And just after Sun Wei obediently followed Sun Quan's instructions and completed this act of remembrance, before the tears in his eyes accumulated into tears, Sun Quan stretched out his hand to wipe it and erase the tenderness that rarely appeared in his eyes.

Since you're going first, you're welcome.

The look of nostalgia on his face disappeared in an instant, and Sun Quan's face was replaced by a kind of firmness and coldness.

"Ziyu!"

Sun Quan's light call almost made him fall to his knees in fright.

"Minister, minister!"

After receiving Shi Yi's response, Sun Quan immediately ordered: "Order the navy to salvage Mrs. Liu's body, arrange the makeup, and put the body in the coffin with the best medicinal materials."

"After all this is sorted out, I will issue an edict to let Zhang Wen carry the body of Mrs. Liu and send it to Chang'an!"

Sun Quan's speech was not fast, it was Yi who could hear every word of Sun Quan's words, but after understanding Sun Quan's meaning, the fear in Yi's heart instantly increased a little - Your Majesty, it's so ruthless!

In Sun Quan's words, he didn't feel half pity for Sun Shangxiang, who had just committed suicide by throwing herself into the river, and even called her the cold Mrs. Liu.

If it's just like this, the most important thing is that Sun Quan's disposal of Sun Shangxiang's body is really shocking.

As we all know, after Sun Quan used Sun Shangxiang to try to seize Liu Chan and failed, Sun Shangxiang, who lost Liu Bei's trust, could never return to Liu Bei.

And Liu Bei married Wu as his wife after seizing Yizhou, and directly announced to the world that Sun Shangxiang would have nothing to do with him in the future.

In this case, generally according to legal theory, Chang'an has every reason not to accept Sun Shangxiang's body.

It's just that Sun Shangxiang's death at the moment is due to the sentimental death of Liu Bei, and he went to the river to follow Liu Bei, so that no matter what, Sun Shangxiang's death occupies the word "jieyi".

With these two words, it is no longer impossible for Chang'an to accept Sun Shangxiang's body.

And the reason why Sun Quan wanted to return Sun Shangxiang's body to Chang'an was definitely not to fulfill Sun Shangxiang's "righteousness", he wanted to use these "two words" to occupy the commanding heights of morality, so as to criticize the world for Liu Bei's behavior of "abandoning" his wife before his death.

To put it bluntly, Sun Quan is using Sun Shangxiang's death to cause an impact on the Han who has gradually occupied the name of righteousness recently.

Sun Quan wants to use this incident to announce to the world - if Chang'an accepts Sun Shangxiang's body, it means that Chang'an recognizes Sun Shangxiang's identity as Liu Bei's wife.

And once Chang'an admits this, then naturally, Liu Chan's identity as his nephew will be established again.

After this impression is re-established in the hearts of the world, in the current era when humanity is the priority, the Chang'an court headed by Liu Chan will not be so tenable if it wants to use the name of righteousness to attack and even crusade against Eastern Wu in the future.

Sun Quan's method is disgusting, but predictably effective, because it is a naked conspiracy and a brilliant demonstration of Sun Quan's extraordinary political talents.

Originally, as a courtier of Eastern Wu, Shi Yi should be happy about Sun Quan's intelligence, but when she thought that Sun Shangxiang would not be at peace even after her death, and she would become a tool used by her brother, Shi Yi's heart was full of Qi Qiran.

But Sun Quan doesn't care what Shiyi thinks, not to mention that the purpose of his move is more than that.

Thinking of the team that Liu Bei had arranged in the information he had just seen, the corners of Sun Quan's mouth couldn't help but smile.

Sun Quan happily hugged Sun Jian and said to him admonishingly, "As a king, you must avoid one thing.

That is, don't trust the minister too much."

Is Liu Bei's orphan team luxurious?

Zhang Fei, Zhuge Liang, Mi Yang, such a team must be luxurious, but in Sun Quan's opinion, Liu Bei made two very serious mistakes.

One is to believe in the minister too much, so that Liu Chan has no half of the power in his hands.

The second is that the three auxiliary ministers were not explicitly stated in the edict, and who is the first in the end.

Wouldn't such a mistake be fatal?

The human heart is complex, but sometimes the human heart is also simple, so simple that it can do whatever it takes for the supreme position.

Looking at the sword marks symbolizing the Kuang Fu Han family on the boulder in front of him, and then looking at the twelve bundles of imperial beads that were constantly shaking in front of him, Sun Quan was convinced of this.

There will only be one Liu Bei in the world.

And after Liu Bei's death, what he has to do is to let the mistakes made by Liu Bei before his death be infinitely magnified!
