Chapter 2544: King Sun Quan of Wu, reactions from all countries
The Qin State and the Wei, Song and Wu State had engagements, and the engagement with the Wu State was first decided, which can be traced back to the Yellow Turban Rebellion.
After Qin Wen, Cao Cao and Sun Jian joined forces, the three of them led their troops to fight against the Yellow Turbans, but they could not win for a long time. Instead, Ying Hao won a great victory in Jingbei.
Sun Jian was so outstanding that his brother-in-law''s son was so outstanding that he said that if he had a daughter, he would have to marry Ying Hao as his wife. As a result, Sun Shangxiang was born the next day, so Qin Wen half-jokingly made an oral engagement with Sun Jianding.
Of course, Qin Wen and Sun Jian didn''t take this matter in mind. After all, Ying Hao and Sun Shangxiang were fifteen years apart, and they could not be considered as people of the same generation.
After that, the world was in chaos and all the heroes emerged. The Qin Dynasty, led by Ying Hao, gradually became the overlord of the princes and had the momentum to unify the world.
Major forces, either under pressure or want to leave a way out for themselves, decided to marry Daqin.
Ying Hao naturally could not agree to the request for marriage, and in the end he chose only the Three Kingdoms of Wei, Song and Wu.
At that time, the reasons given by the Wei and Song dynasties for marriage were to consolidate the ally relations between the two countries.
Wu Kingdom was far away in Jiangdong, and had neither borders with the Qin Dynasty nor had any disputes of interest. In order to successfully marry the Qin Dynasty, he had to take out his oral engagement.
After Ying Hao asked Qin Wen, he found that this was true, so he agreed to the marriage request of Wu.
Although the Qin Dynasty reached a marriage with the Three Kingdoms, the princesses in the Three Kingdoms were still underage, so the engagement naturally had to be postponed until the princess became an adult.
The younger sister of King Zhao Kuangyin of Song Dynasty became an adult first, so she let her younger sister Zhao Ling''er marry into the Qin Palace first.
The daughter of King Cao Cao of Wei was underage, but she did not want to fall behind the Song State, so she recognized the daughter of the important minister Su Hu, and the number one beauty of Wei State Su Xinyue was adopted daughter. She first married her adopted daughter to the Qin Palace and then married her daughter after she became an adult.
Sun Jian was not as stressed as Cao Cao, and he was not prepared to recognize someone else''s daughter as his adopted daughter, and waited honestly for his daughter to marry into adulthood.
It is precisely because of this that the Wu Kingdom was the first to marry Qin, but now it is behind the Wei and Song dynasties.
Xiang Tiao was stunned when he heard that Sun Quan intended to form a marriage in advance.
Sun Jian had only one daughter, Sun Shangxiang, the number one beauty in Wu, known as the "Bowing Waist Girl".
But as far as Xiang Tiao knows, Sun Shangxiang is underage and is only 15 years old now?
Regardless of whether Sun Shangxiang is adult or not, even if the other party is really adult, Sun Jian just died and asked Sun Shangxiang to marry. Isn’t this a bit inappropriate?
Xiang Tiao told Sun Quan about his concerns, but Sun Quan said, "I also know that my father is newly destroyed and it is not appropriate to marry him."
But now my brother is deeply trapped in the enemy country, and Wu is full of conflicts. I need to obtain the support of Daqin through marriage to suppress the voices who are dissatisfied with me in China.
So, I can only feel wronged and wronged. ”
Hearing this, Xiang Tiao nodded, after all, this was reasonable.
For Wu and Sun Quan, the most important thing at the moment is to smoothly pass the alternation of royal powers. If Sun Quan had the support of the Qin Dynasty, the domestic opposition would definitely be much lower.
"It is for the sake of the national foundation, and it is not impossible to make appropriate changes. Foreign ministers will write to the court as soon as possible to clarify the crown prince. No, it is your current dilemma of King Wu."
Hearing Xiang Tiao say this, Sun Quan immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
He was anxious to marry Sun Shangxiang, so naturally it was not just to gain support from Daqin. The most important point was that Sun Shangxiang did not accept that his father died naturally and kept clamoring to find a doctor with more skilled medical skills to take an autopsy.
Thinking about it, before Sun Jian died, there were only Sun Quan and Sun Shangxiang present. Originally, Sun Jian was about to wake up, but as soon as Sun Shangxiang left, Sun Jian died.
Sun Shangxiang is not stupid, so she will naturally suspect Sun Quan, suspected that it was the tampering of his second brother Sun Quan.
Faced with Sun Shangxiang''s doubts, Sun Quan burst out with his best acting skills in his life, expressing various emotions such as sadness, sadness, and injustice to the fullest.
"My sister, I really didn''t expect that in your heart, is the second brother the kind of beast who kills his father for the sake of power?
My Sun Quan swears to the sky that my father’s death has nothing to do with me. If I violate this oath, I will die under the heart of thousands of arrows. ”
Sun Quan''s performance was simply seamless. No one in the Sun family present saw any flaws, and they did not think that Sun Quan would be the kind of person who killed his father.
Seeing this, Sun Shangxiang was a little hesitant. She didn''t think that the second brother, who was both civil and military, would kill his father for the sake of power, but she still demanded a mortal examination, so that she could restore the second brother''s innocence.
After an autopsy by more than a dozen doctors in the Wu State, the same conclusion was drawn: Sun Jian''s illness caused by overwork, causing the recurrence of his old injury, and eventually died of no treatment, which was a natural death.
This autopsy result not only cleared Sun Quan''s suspicion, but also made everyone in the Sun family breathe a sigh of relief.
After all, if Sun Quan really took action, the position of King Wu could only be handed over to Sun Wu to inherit.
Although Sun Wu is also from the Sun family, he is not a legitimate family after all. If he succeeds to the throne, the military will not care about it for the time being. There will definitely be more people within the Sun family who are dissatisfied, and then the Wu Kingdom will inevitably cause turmoil.
Therefore, compared with Sun Wu, the Sun family and the Jiangdong family are more willing to Sun Quan succeed to the throne.
Everyone in the Sun family accepted the incident of Sun Jian''s natural death, but Sun Shangxiang still held on to the matter and wanted to find other famous doctors to have an autopsy.
In this regard, Sun Quan naturally would not be spoiled by Sun Shangxiang. He directly locked Sun Shangxiang in the mansion on the grounds that he was too sad. After all, if Sun Shangxiang really wanted to find a famous doctor in the medical field, he would not be able to hide it.
Sun Jian''s death was caused by Sun Quan''s actions. The reason why the imperial doctors in Wu could not find it out and reached the conclusion of natural death was that they were all bribed by Sun Quan in advance, and the family was also in Sun Quan''s hands, so naturally Sun Quan said whatever he said.
Sun Quan originally didn''t want to kill his father, but once Sun Jian woke up, he would be completely finished. In a desperate situation, he still embarked on this path of no return.
After Sun Quan cleared of suspicion, he was given a new position from the royal family and the trust of the aristocratic family and civil and military ministers, but his sister Sun Shangxiang still did not trust him.
Sun Quan was also afraid that if he let his sister continue to torture, he would find out any information that was unfavorable to him, but he could not do anything to his sister. After all, if my father died and my sister had an accident, the fool would know that he did his father''s death.
Sun Quan thought about it and had no good idea. In the end, Sima Yi gave an idea, which was to simply marry Sun Shangxiang.
The married daughter, the water splashed out.
As long as Sun Shangxiang is no longer in Wu, she will naturally not be able to threaten Sun Quan, so the above scene occurs.
Soon, the Qin Dynasty court had a reply, agreeing that Sun Quan would send Sun Shangxiang to Luoyang. After that, he would not get married immediately, but would first give him various trainings on cultural etiquette and other things, and he would get married after he became an adult.
In the late Han Dynasty, a woman turned into adulthood and married at the age of fourteen or five. In fact, it was very normal. Cao Cao, Yuan Shu and other princes all married women of the fourteen or five years old.
However, as the Emperor of Qin, Ying Hao has his own persistence in this regard, requiring the woman who married must be 16 years old to be willing to marry.
In this regard, countries and Qin had no choice but to accommodate Ying Hao, just regard it as the Qin Emperor''s little hobby.
Sun Quan hoped that Sun Shangxiang would leave early, so he naturally could not refuse. So after preparing a generous dowry, he was preparing to send Sun Shangxiang to Daqin.
"I don''t marry, and I say I won''t marry anything. My father died. How can I marry? I mainly keep filial to my father."
Sun Shangxiang held the door frame and let the maids pull it, but they didn''t let go.
Seeing this, Sun Quan felt helpless, but he patiently advised: "My sister, there are brothers and other younger brothers who are filial piety. Now the most urgent task is to allow Wu to smoothly pass the handover of power.
You also know that many people in the army are not convinced by their second brother. The second brother needs marriage to gain support from Daqin to suppress the dissatisfied voices in China.
So, for the sake of Wu Kingdom, I can only feel wronged and wronged, my sister..."
"Look at it."
Before Sun Quan finished speaking, he was punched away by Sun Shangxiang.
Sun Shangxiang''s beautiful little face was full of anger, and he pointed at Sun Quan''s nose and cursed: "Sun Zhongmou, why don''t you let me be filial? You haven''t succeeded to the throne yet, so you have to be wronged, my dear sister. If you really succeed to the throne, who will you be wronged?"
Sun Quan did not expect that his sister would dare to slap himself in the face in public, covering his swollen face, and said angrily: "Rebellion, rebellion, you actually hit your second brother."
"You don''t let me be filial, what''s wrong with me hitting you?"
"you…"
Sun Quan was extremely angry and immediately prepared to teach his sister a lesson. But then he thought that his sister was talented and he might not be able to beat her. If she was beaten again, it would be even more embarrassing, so he snorted coldly:
"Hmph, the marriage between Qin and Wu was decided by the father during his lifetime. You must go whether you want to or not."
After saying that, Sun Quan left directly.
The next day, after knocking out ten guards, Sun Shangxiang was controlled by the guards in the King of Wu''s Mansion, and then was stunned with the drugs and forced into the team of the marriage brides entering Qin.
Although Sun Quan was angry that his sister slapped himself in the face, he did not withhold any dowry.
Sun Shangxiang''s dowry included: three hundred female guards, one thousand slaves, countless gold, silver, jewelry, silk, silk, satin, and a total of 150 cars were loaded.
This shows how wealthy the Wu Kingdom is.
Shortly after Sun Shangxiang left, Qin and Wu signed a large order.
Qin sold 5,000 war horses to Wu, 5,000 sets of horse harnesses, 5,000 sabers, 10,000 horizontal swords, 5,000 strong shields, 5,000 powerful crossbows, and ten warships...
This is also the largest military purchase since the alliance between Qin and Wu. Considering the alliance and in-laws between the two countries, it was sold to Wu for only 80% of the price.
But even so, it''s the sky-high price. The 100,000 stone of food and grass that Qin promised to Wu before the war, as well as a large amount of gold and silver wealth, were not enough to mortgage it. Wu also had to pay Qin and exchange materials for goods to obtain this batch of strategic equipment.
But the Wu Kingdom was not dissatisfied with this. Instead, they praised Sun Quan for doing it right, and the voices of opposition became smaller.
Why did Sun Quan sell this batch of supplies? The reason is very simple, he wants to reorganize Jiefanjun.
In the battle of Jiangxia, Wu''s most elite unit, Jiefan, was wiped out due to Sun Ce''s mistake.
The source of troops in Eastern Wu is not short of, but war horses are very short of.
Jiefanjun is the card of Wu, and reorganization is imperative, but each army lacks war horses, so it is impossible to separate the war horses to give Jiefanjun.
Sun Quan bought war horses from Daqin to reorganize the army, which actually made the Wu army relieved. After all, there was no need to go out to fight horses by himself, which eased the military''s resistance to Sun Quan to a certain extent.
Shortly after the military purchase was reached, Sun Quan succeeded to the throne as the new King of Wu under the joint witness of the Sun family, the civil and military officials of the Wu Kingdom, and the Jiangdong family.
The four countries of Qin, Wei, Song and Ming, and even the Ruan and Yue countries of Siam also sent envoys to congratulate Sun Quan on his succession to become the King of Wu.
Chu State, Jiangxia, Xiling City.
After receiving the news, Liu Xiu said in a deep voice: "I really underestimated this Sun Quan."
Liu Xiu discovered that after capturing Sun Fang alive, the situation exceeded his expectations.
First, it was Sun Wu, then Sun Quan, and the situation in Wu State became increasingly difficult to control.
"Lord, we have worked hard to invade the 436 spies who entered the Wu Kingdom, all of them were captured by Sun Quan. Sima Yi betrayed the lord." Pang Tongyi said with a bitter look on his face.
