The most poisonous person in the Three Kingdoms, Boss Cao advised me to calm down!

Chapter 94 Sun Shiwan’s arrogance and courtesy

Even Liu Biao and Liu Zhang, who were members of the Han clan, no longer cared about the emperor.

Who doesn't know that the current Emperor of Han is a mascot in Cao Cao's hands!

If an edict is issued to oppress them in Jiangdong, who will pay attention?
If Cao Mengde used the imperial edict to oppress Sun Quan.

That would only make Sun Quan even more disgusted, and he would not want to negotiate peace!

Therefore, even if Cao Cao wants to negotiate peace.

Then someone should be sent who can speak well.

It won't be such a big waste of time.

Thinking of this, Lu Su also asked:

"Did the emperor's envoy come with the emperor's edict?"

"Yes!" The guard also nodded after hearing this.

"The emperor's messenger said he was here to convey the emperor's will."

Upon hearing this, Lu Su said to his lord:

"Lord, let's pass it in and take a look first."

"It shouldn't be that simple this time!"

There is no need for Cao Cao to use imperial edicts to oppress Jiangdong.

Not only is this method useless, but it will only anger your own lord.

At that time, Sun Quan would send troops to Jingzhou in anger.

Then Cao Cao would lose more than he gained.

After being reminded by Lu Su, Sun Quan also hesitated.

Still nodded to receive the emperor's messenger.

Originally, the emperor issued an edict on this day, and the emperor's envoy came to announce his decree.

Local officials need to go out to greet them in person.

But now the Han Dynasty is in decline, and the emperor's power has fallen away.

So no one was so particular anymore, but let the emperor's envoy come in and speak on his own.

"Come here, please bring in the emperor's envoy from Xudu!"

Sun Quan waved his hand and asked his men to bring the emperor's envoy into the hall.

"Yes!" The guard beside him nodded and went out.

Soon, three unfamiliar faces walked in from outside the main hall.

The leader was wearing a Han official uniform.

There was a haughty look on his face.

I saw him striding into the hall.

As soon as he entered, he shouted to everyone in the hall:
"Which one is Sun Quan? Why don't you kneel down quickly to accept the imperial edict!"

Zhou Tai, Sun Quan's bodyguard over there, heard this and his eyes widened!

Immediately he shouted: "How outrageous!"

"Do you know who my lord is?"

Who is his lord Sun Quan?

It's Wu Hou! He is the leader of the six counties in Jiangdong!
This man actually made his lord kneel down?
Still in his main hall in Jiangdong, isn't this just asking for death?
The messenger who heard the words said proudly:
"Even if you are the Marquis of Wu, seeing the emperor's envoy is like seeing His Majesty!"

"The emperor has issued an edict, how can you, as Han officials, dare to stand?!"

"Could it be that your Jiangdong ministers have objections?"

The Jiangdong ministers present all twitched their eyebrows when they heard this!
Be good! This big hat is well worn. It's okay if you kneel down to receive the order.

If you don't kneel down to accept the order, then you have a counter-intention!
This is the benefit of occupying the high ground of political morality.

Indeed, the emperor's decree came to him, as a minister of the Han Dynasty.

You must kneel down to greet him!

Even strictly speaking, fasting and bathing are required.

Only in this way can we accept the imperial edict and comply with etiquette!

But that was when the majesty of the big man was still there.

What year is it now?

On that day, the emperor's decrees could not leave Xudu.

He is completely a puppet in the hands of Cao Cao!
Moreover, this edict is what Cao Cao meant at first glance.

His Cao Cao and our Wu Hou are just the same Han officials.

You actually want my lord to kneel down? Isn't this just looking for trouble? !
Therefore, Zhou Tai was immediately furious and prepared to step forward and capture this so-called envoy of the emperor.

However, Sun Quan raised his hand to stop him.

If Zhou Tai had just captured Cao Cao's envoy.

It would seem that Sun Quan's power was too small. What's more, if you take action against the emperor's envoys so directly.

Doesn’t this mean he is being called a rebellious official and a traitor?
But Sun Quan, as a prince, had to do it in front of all his ministers.

It was impossible to really kneel down to receive the order, but he said slowly:

"The emperor has come to send envoys, but I am at a loss to welcome them from afar."

"However, I have been ill recently and have many inconveniences in my legs and feet."

"You declare it!"

After Sun Quan finished speaking, he waved his hand.

He walked back to his seat and sat down.

"You!" The envoy saw Sun Quan's arrogant posture.

He also looked angry immediately!

But now that he was in Jiangdong, he couldn't really get angry with Sun Quan.

Then he looked indignant and reached out from the wooden box on the side.

He took out a yellow silk edict, opened it and read:
"It's destiny, the emperor decreed!"

"Today, chaos and war are raging, and people are homeless and living in dire straits."

"Fortunately, Sun Quan, the Marquis of Wu, took charge of Kuaiji to protect the country and the people."

"This is the blessing of the common people and the blessing of the great man."

"Today, in recognition of Sun Quan's meritorious service in governing the county, I will give him a pair of jade bis, a pair of Dongzhu, and a hundred yi of gold."

"Become the General of Zhennan, lead the herdsman of Jingzhou, and be granted the title of Marquis of Wuchang."

Um? Created the title of Marquis of Wuchang?
Sun Quan and Lu Su looked at each other immediately after hearing this.

At this moment, both the monarch and the minister had doubts in their eyes?

What kind of situation is this?
The jade, Dongzhu and Yibaijin in front are not the point at all!

But the Zhennan generals behind them led Jingzhou Mu and Wuchang Hou!
This means that Sun Quan was originally a fifth-grade general in fighting against prisoners.

After being promoted to three levels in a row, he became the second-level Zhennan General of the Han Dynasty!

You must know that this is already above Jiuqing!
Even the prefect of Kuaiji with him became a Jingzhou shepherd? !

Even his fiefdom was moved to Wuchang?

When did Cao Mengde become so knowledgeable?
Sun Quan was a little confused, but he asked calmly:
"Messenger of the Son of Heaven, are you sure you did not declare the wrong decree?!"

The messenger also snorted coldly when he heard this!
"It's a matter of national importance, how can this envoy be trivial?"

"Here is the holy object. The Marquis of Wuchang can take it and take a closer look!"

As he spoke, he pushed the imperial edict over.

Upon hearing this, Lu Su quickly took it and handed it to his lord.

Sun Quan took it over and took a look.

Sure enough, it was printed on it that he was ordered by heaven to live long and prosperous.

Although this is not covered with the imperial seal.

But it is also another deputy seal in the emperor's hand.

So this will is absolutely true.

"The emperor's envoy is here, and I have just been disrespectful."

"Come here! Give the emperor's envoy a seat!"

After saying that, he winked at the guards on the side.

The guard beside him also nodded and quickly brought a stool.

Then he smiled again and said:

"Don't be offended by the emperor's envoy. I am confused now."

"May I ask why Your Majesty issued such a decree?"

This was obviously an attempt to trick the emperor's envoy.

When the envoy saw this, he snorted coldly, cupped his hands towards Xu Du and said:
"The power of heaven is so great that we and other subordinates can't speculate on it without authorization?!"

"In addition, this envoy also has another decree!"

"Please also ask the Marquis of Wuchang to receive the order quickly!"

With that said, he motioned to Sun Quan to come down and accept the order honestly.

Otherwise, if you sit and listen to orders, where will you place the authority of the emperor?

Sun Quan, however, narrowed his eyes slightly and reluctantly stood up and walked down the steps.

Of course, he would not kneel down obediently.

But he just bent down and cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty Sun Quan, I respectfully request your decree!"
