Chapter 23 Sun Quan is the emperor

In May, Tian Yu and Zhao Zhao and others came to Luoyang to see me. They agreed to return to Shun, Tian Yu served as the assassin of Lingzhou, went to northern Xinjiang, cooperated with Wei Yan, Li Yue, Guan Feng and others to deal with desert affairs, and was crowned as a Zhonglang general as his deputy to lead the troops and horses. I know the abilities of these two people, and I believe in their character, and as long as they are willing to submit, then they will treat me as faithfully as they did to Cao Wei.

In this way, things in northern Xinjiang are worry-free.

。。。。。。。。。。

Sun Deng's visit to Luoyang was something I didn't expect, and I couldn't help but be overjoyed when I learned about it, and I ordered to invite you quickly. Although Zhuge Qiao married Lu Xun's daughter, it seems to have put a layer of insurance on the relationship between Jingzhou and Ji Han, but I know that if it weren't for Sima Yi's nail between Ji Han and Dongwu, it is difficult to say whether the two sides would turn against each other at the moment. After all, between countries, interests are the most important, and the rest of the family and friendship can only stand aside.

Sun Deng brought a ray of sunshine when he entered the door, and laughed and said, "Cousin, I haven't seen you for a few years, but you are majestic." Now Ji Han is crisscrossing thousands of miles, and the national strength has risen sharply, occupying the northern frontier, taking Hedong, and Dingluoyang. This national strength far surpasses that of Cao Wei. ”

Come up and boast, whether it's true or not, anyway, his eloquence has grown again. I also smiled and pulled a hat back: "Where, hurry up, sit." There is still a long way to go to restore the Han world. Soochow has been prosperous in recent years, and his uncle has managed it well. I heard that cousin you have also contributed a lot, in the name of Prince Sun Deng's benevolence. The whole world knows it. ”

Sun Deng smiled: "I am a soft-hearted and indiscriminate good person, for this, my father scolded me a lot." ”

"No, the benevolent are invincible, cousin, you are about to cultivate to the realm of invincibility."

Sun Dengluo sat down and said, "Cousin, I heard that you changed Luoyang back to Luoyang?" ”

I said, "Of course, our big man is still hot." Cao Pi is afraid of us, and adds the word water, planning to use water to overcome fire and defeat me Ji Han, but it's a pity. After changing for a long time, I couldn't keep his social work, so I came back with a swagger. ”

The two laughed.

I know that Sun Deng is a smart and wise person. Although the character is gentle, he is definitely a wise lord. Although I don't know what he came to Ji Han for, I think that although the Sun and Liu families are good, they are not to the point of visiting the door at will, and they don't ask at the moment, they only talk about Bibi's feelings, inquire about the situation in Dongwu, and talk about Sun Shangxiang's body. Between conversations. Sun Deng has a clear mind and has seen a lot, I can't help but think that if he is the lord of Dongwu at this moment, the two of us must not be able to talk about it so calmly.

After staying for a few days, Sun Deng met with my ministers separately, as if only to consolidate his relationship with Ji Han. Ask if we will betray the alliance. There is no intention of attacking Soochow. Naturally, we won't be so stupid here, and the curse swears that we will definitely be of the same heart and mind as Soochow. Resist Cao Wei. But even though we say this, there seems to be a hidden worry between his eyebrows. Naturally, I tried to find out what he meant, and finally one night, I poured him too much wine and learned what he meant.

But it turned out that since this period of time, the dispute over the relationship between Dongwu and Ji Han is still continuing, Sun Deng is bent on friendship with Ji Han, but in Dongwu, a group of people led by Sun Shu showed great hostility towards Ji Han, they believe that Ji Han is a tiger, and he will definitely eat people when he grows up, and if Dongwu wants to be self-reliant, he must not join forces with Ji Han, and he must take the third route, that is, to be self-reliant, to become the same as Cao Wei and Ji Han, how to change, a very simple sentence, that is, to be the emperor.

This sentence spoke to Sun Quan's heart. He didn't want to be subservient to me, nor did he want to be subservient to Cao Wei anymore, occupying Jingzhou, which increased Sun Quandi's ambitions. Sun Deng came here to probe my tone and see how far the Sun and Liu families would develop if things developed to this point.

This does give me a problem, speaking of which, my Ji Han is the Han family Zhengshuo, every step I have done, is to restore the glory of the Han Dynasty as a means of propaganda, no matter how the Han Dynasty, after all, more than 400 years of history there, everyone, whether it is Wei or Wu, all call themselves Han people, this Chinese character is where the cohesion and centripetal force of my Ji Han land lie, if I admit that the surname can be divided and become a country, then what has become the lord of Ji Han?

Actually, I haven't thought about it. At present, Sun Quan is the king of Wu, but this king of Wu was sealed by Cao Pi back then, I once wondered if it was up to me to crown him the king of Wu or give him a bigger official than the king of Wu, so as to consolidate the friendship between the two families of Sun and Liu. Just mentioned this idea, but Kong Ming vetoed it, he decided that it was better to be confused about this matter, no one mentioned it, and he could still pass, if he took the initiative to mention it, he was afraid that it would hurt the feelings of the two families. But today, I won't mention it, Sun Quan took the initiative to mention it, he is not happy to be a prince, and he wants to be an emperor, what should I do?

"Cousin, my father's land means that although Ji Han is named after Han, he is no longer the original Han after all. Since the death of Emperor Xian, the Han Dynasty has disappeared, and now it is the Three Kingdoms, Cao Wei, Ji Han, and Dongwu each show their talents, and those in the world are not one family and one surname in the world, and those who are virtuous live in it, and those who are not virtuous are lost. Each relies on his own skills, each has his own destiny, and no one can complain about anyone. ”

"Cousin, if you were the lord of Eastern Wu, would you still be the emperor?" I didn't answer Sun Deng's words, but I asked Sun Dengdao instead.

"What do you mean?" Sun Deng was stunned for a moment, and then became serious, "Cousin, I know that Ji Han knows and hears a lot of people, but Sun Dengning will not do anything unfavorable to Dongwu if he dies, if you hurt my father, I will swear to take revenge." ”

I smiled: "Cousin, you are far away. I didn't mean to hurt my uncle and push you to be the king of Wu, I just wanted to ask, if you were the lord of Eastern Wu, would you want to be this emperor? In other words, does this title of emperor appeal to you so much that it allows you to claim this title at the risk of the misery of your subordinates? ”

Sun Deng shook his head and said: "Naturally not, Sun Deng has never cared about these titles." ”

I sighed: "Cousin, since you think so, it means that I am not wrong about you." No matter what happens to the Sun and Liu families, I still recognize you as a cousin. You go back and tell your uncle that he can be the emperor, but I won't congratulate him, and I can't explain to my ministers. There are some things he has to think clearly, this emperor is not so easy to sit on, if he ascends to the extreme emperor, then in the future, Cao Wei will be destroyed, and the Sun and Liu families will have a battle. ”

My cousin confessed like this. But this was already beyond my expectations, and my father thought that you would declare war on Soochow immediately. I will definitely bring my cousin's words to me. Father's place, I can't get it back; My cousin's personality, I also know, you are round on the outside and square on the inside, and the decisions you make will not change in any way. How to develop in the future depends only on the will of God. ”

"How is Sun Xi now, is he still convinced of you? Do you want me to help you deal with him? "To change the subject, I asked Sun Dengdao. This villain, who has been named a general, has always been at odds with Sun Deng, and he has a group of people under him, and he fights with Sun Deng everywhere, and his performance is no worse than Sun Deng. Many times people can't help but wonder if he will replace Sun Deng.

Sun Deng shook his head: "No matter what, he is also my brother, I will not hurt him, and I will never allow others to point a finger at him." ”

I laughed: "Then forget it, it's only up to you to work hard." I hope that in the future, you will be the lord of Wu and can make the people of Dongwu live a good life. ”

。。。。。。。。。。

After sending Sun Deng away, I immediately consulted with my husband and strengthened the defensive forces on the Soochow side. At present, although Lu Xun and Zhuge Jin are both lords and factions, and they are willing to join forces with Ji Han to fight against Wei, and we also have a lot of common interests with Eastern Wu, but the situation has changed, and it is difficult to guarantee when they will be affected, not to mention that Sun Quan is getting older, and his stubborn and violent personality is becoming more and more obvious.

There are Ma Liang, Chen Zhi, Zhang Nan, Li Hui, Meng Shu and others in Yizhou, I am not too worried, but in the land of mediocrity, Zhuge Qiao is guarded by himself, respectively facing Sima Yi who is eyeing the tiger and Lu Xun and others who may turn against the water at any time, this power is still too thin, I decided to send Wang Jun and Zhao Tong to help him, and then let Deng Zhi, who has a good relationship with Sun Quan Lu Xun and others, go to the town, and it will be safer to come.

In the past few months, for Sima Yi, we have not let him grow up in Wancheng. Although we have only only experienced a big war now, we don't really want to send troops to strangle him immediately, and his existence has also brought us a lot of benefits, but he always secretly sends people to Luoyang to make trouble, if I don't deal with him, won't I make him proud in vain.

So every few days, we sent someone to send him something with great fanfare, what one or two beef cattle that were sick and not cured, what kind of glass balls from the Western Regions that no one buys, the things are not valuable, but we have to let Cao Wei know. Sima Yi is unreliable, he has a connection with Ji Han, otherwise, why can't Ji Han give gifts to others, but give him gifts?

It seems that in history, Yang Yi and Lu Kang once exchanged gifts, which is a good story for the ages, but soon after, Lu Kang was transferred. I don't know if Cao Rui has the courage of Sima Zhao in history, and whether he will tolerate Sima Yi doing such a thing. However, I think that an emperor who would get angry even if Tian Yu didn't give him jade, thus leaving Tian Yu idle, must have a limit to his endurance.
