Sun Shangxiang returned to Jiangdong to sacrifice her mother on the one hand, and to appease Jiangdong on the other hand. She has a high prestige among the army and people in Jiangdong. People still remember the reckless, chivalrous and lovely Jiangdong princess back then.

In the Yamen of Danyang County, more than a hundred high-ranking military officials from Jiangdong gathered together to meet Princess Shangxiang. In the past, Sun Shangxiang did not have such a high political status, but with the fall of Jiangdong, everyone's hearts are restless and full of confusion about the future Sun Shangxiang is not only the princess of Jiangdong, but also the second concubine of the King of Han. Invisibly, she has become a communication bridge between Liu Jing and the officials of Jiangdong.

Jiang Dongwu's senior officials trusted her and accepted her emotionally. There was silence in the lobby, and countless eyes silently watched the mature Princess Shangxiang.

"Jiangdong is over. As the daughter of Marquis Wucheng and the younger sister of General Bofu, I feel very sad and disappointed. After all, this is the foundation created by the blood and sweat of my father and brother. It just ended quietly. I accept it emotionally. No, but I, like everyone else, have to face reality."

Sun Shangxiang's voice choked up, and tears rolled down his face. Many Jiangdong generals couldn't help turning their faces to wipe their tears secretly, and the officials were also sad. Sun Shangxiang wiped away his tears with a handkerchief, and slowly said: "At the beginning of the year, I I received a letter from my brother, who begged me to persuade the King of Han to let Jiangdong go. I was very angry and anxious because of this, and I didn’t know what to do until I met a young Jiangdong couple in Chang’an East City. They are refugees who escaped from Wucheng. After talking with them, I realized that the Jiangdong regime was unpopular and hated by the people of Jiangdong. Only then did I realize that as long as Jiangdong exists, the people will suffer for a day. Such a monarch and Dong Zhuohe different?

I asked myself whether Jiangdong was the back garden of the Sun family or the home of the people of Jiangdong. I realized how selfish my anger and anxiety were. Life and death, how many wives were separated, how many people died in battle, just to keep the Sun's community, a Sun's community that was cast aside by the people, I would rather not! "

Sun Shangxiang's voice was not loud, but it penetrated everyone's heart. Some officials thought deeply, some officials were ashamed, and more officials sighed secretly. What Princess Shangxiang said was not true.

"The King of Han personally assured me that the Sun family is not a usurper, he will treat him kindly, and Jiang Dongwu will continue to use it. In short, I hope everyone remembers that no matter who is in power in Jiangdong, he must treat the people of Jiangdong well. "

Zhang Zhao admired secretly at the side, Master Shangxiang has indeed made great progress and has become very talkative. First, he said that he treated Sun Quan with kindness, which undoubtedly reassured many officials who cared about Sun Quan. Then he said that he would continue to reuse Jiang Dongwu officials. , This is to appease the officials who are worried about the future, and finally said that treating the people of Jiangdong well will legalize Liu Jing's rule of Jiangdong and the people's will.

But Zhang Zhao was more concerned about Jiangdong's status in Han. He tentatively asked, "Princess Shangxiang, should my Jiangdong officials stay in Jiangdong and continue to serve as officials, or go to Chang'an?"

Sun Shangxiang hesitated and said, "The king of Han didn't tell me the specific details, but he just said that Jiangdong will restore counties, that is to say, there will not be too many officials in Jiangdong. I think most of the officials should be in Beijing or transferred to other places. For an official."

Zhang Zhaoxin was a little disappointed. Princess Shangxiang obviously didn't know about Liu Jing's official arrangement. At this time, Sun Shangxiang smiled and said, "Maybe I can ask the King of Han specifically tonight, and I will give you a clear answer tomorrow."

At night, Sun Shangxiang and her husband were newlywed after a long absence. The two loved each other, and Sun Shangxiang was panting. After a long time, she gradually calmed down. She snuggled into Liu Jing's arms, remembering what happened during the day, and said coquettishly: "Today He has done a lot for you, how are you going to repay me?"

Liu Jing kissed her lightly on the face and said with a smile, "I will continue to work hard so that you can conceive a baby girl early."

Sun Shangxiang blushed, pinched Liu Jing's arm, and said coquettishly: "You also said that I catered to you like that in Lingzhou, but I couldn't conceive a child. Could it be possible this time?"

"I have a feeling that you will be able to go back to your hometown."

Sun Shangxiang sighed softly, how much she wished to have a lovely daughter, at this moment, she suddenly remembered something, just about to speak, but remembered that Tao Zhan had told her not to treat her husband, so she bit her lip abruptly , finally did not say anything.

"What do you want to say?" Seeing that she hesitated to speak, Liu Jing asked with a smile.

"nothing!"

Sun Shangxiang shook her head hastily, then changed the subject and said, "I was thinking, how should I answer them tomorrow?"

Liu Jing is naturally very aware of the meeting between Sun Shangxiang and Jiangdong's officials. He is very satisfied with Sun Shangxiang's performance. It is indeed much better for her to come forward than himself. The emotions of everyone in Jiangdong are basically calmed down. The next step is to consider how to arrange They, give them certain political benefits, so that Jiangdong can be completely recovered.

Liu Jing said with a smile: "Tomorrow, I will talk to some important people. I plan to expand the five-phase country into a seven-phase country. Zhang Zhao will be the prime minister, Bu Zhi will be the servant of the Huangmen, Gu Yong will be the state supervisor to offer wine, and Yu Fan will be the minister. Yu Shicheng, these are the main officials I have already decided on."

Sun Shangxiang nodded silently. She understood her husband's arrangement, which balanced the interests of the Jiangdong factions. She pondered for a while and asked, "Then the prefects of the Jiangdong counties were sent from Chang'an?"

Liu Jing shook his head, "I will send Yushi Cheng to patrol Jiangdong, but Jiangdong's prefects should use Jiangdong's old ministers as much as possible. Danyang's prefect should be Zhou Dory, Wujun's prefect should be Lu Su, and Kuaiji prefect I want Huang Gai to be the post. People in Shanyue have a lot of prestige and can keep Kuaiji safe."

Sun Shangxiang was startled, "Isn't the prefect of Kuaiji Sun Shao?"

"Sun Shao is not capable, I will let him inherit the title of Marquis Wu, and serve as Yangzhou Biejia, so as to reassure the people of Jiangdong."

"Then what is your husband going to do with my elder brother?" Sun Shangxiang timidly raised his head and asked.

Liu Jing understood his wife's worry, so he couldn't help holding her tightly in his arms, and said softly: "He is temporarily imprisoned, but his mood is very irritable. I plan to designate him as General Fenwei after he calms down and let him grow up. Living in Jiangxia."

Sun Shangxiang sighed heartily. She understood what her husband meant, which was to put her brother under house arrest. Although she was very sad, she also knew that her husband not only kept the Sun family, but also did not exile her brother to a deserted island. up.

Thinking of this, Sun Shangxiang put his arms around Liu Jing's neck, and said coquettishly to him: "Someone said just now that he wants to double compensate me, how can he just say nothing?"

Liu Jing laughed, turned over and pushed Sun Shangxiang under him

The next day, Sun Shangxiang met with more than a dozen important Jiangdong ministers again in the Yamen of Danyang County located in the north of Moling City. If she was the princess of Jiangdong yesterday to appease the officials of Jiangdong, then today she is the second concubine of the Han Dynasty, announcing on behalf of the King of Han. Jiang Dong's funeral.

More than a dozen high-ranking officials sat aside, everyone was a little nervous, they knew in their hearts that since Princess Shangxiang had indicated that more than a dozen of them would attend, it meant that their future official positions had already been decided.

"Let me explain something first!"

Sun Shangxiang's tone today became very brisk, her face was radiant, and she looked even more beautiful, her beautiful eyes shone with brilliance, she smiled and said: "The first family rule of the Han Palace is that women cannot engage in politics. I am here this time. Jiangdong is just special, and it is not an example. In the future, if you have any political affairs, you don't need to look for me, but if you have any difficulties in life, I will try my best to help."

Sun Shangxiang's brisk tone melted the tense atmosphere in the hall, and everyone relaxed. Bu Zhi smiled and said, "Our wife will trouble the princess from now on."

Bu Zhi can speak even more, Jiang Dong no longer exists, and Jiang Dong Princess naturally does not exist, and they are now facing the second concubine of the King of Han, Sun Shangxiang nodded, "Bu Gong is right, don't call me Jiang Dong Princess anymore Today, His Highness the King of Han was supposed to meet everyone, but he said that there will be more opportunities in the future, so I will come forward today and talk to you again."

Speaking of this, Sun Shangxiang turned to Zhang Zhao, and said with a smile, "I want to answer Mr. Zhang's question yesterday. I asked the King of Han in detail last night, and I can give Mr. Zhang an answer."

Zhang Zhao bowed his body and said with a smile, "I would like to listen to what the concubine has to say."

"The king of Han said that he plans to expand the five phases of Han into seven phases, and give one of the phases to Jiangdong."

Everyone's hearts jumped suddenly. Liu Jing actually gave Jiangdong the position of Xiangguo, which shows that he attaches great importance to Jiangdong, especially Zhang Zhao, whose face is already unnatural. He is Jiangdong's first minister, and the position of Xiangguo should belong to him , but not necessarily, it may be Lu Xun, or it may be Sun Shao. After all, Liu Jing may not forget that he made things difficult for Jingzhou many times.

Sensing that Zhang Zhao was not confident, Sun Shangxiang smiled and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Zhang. The King of Han has clearly told me that Mr. Zhang is the prime minister."

Zhang Zhaobi suddenly felt sour, and his heart was extremely moved. Liu Jing never forgot the past, what kind of heart he was, he bowed deeply and said: "Please tell His Royal Highness the King of Han, the old minister will definitely do his best to revive our great Han society. Do your best."

Zhang Zhao's appointment as Xiangguo was expected by everyone, and no one would have any objections, but the other newly added position of Xiangguo was no longer thought about by everyone. It must not be for Jiangdong, but what future will the King of Han give them?Everyone's heart is full of expectations.
