Soldiers come to the world

Chapter 462 Sun Shangxiang's Choice

It has been nearly half a month since Sun Shangxiang returned to Jiangdong. She has changed from her previous aggressive style and has become very low-key. She can no longer be seen galloping in Jingkou City, so that the people in Jingkou City are a little bit uncomfortable. got used to.

There were rumors everywhere in the city that she was about to marry Jingzhou, and the news spread quickly. In just a few days, the whole Jiangdong knew about Sun Liu's marriage.

Although many people in Jiangdong have a headache for her, this kind of headache is just the troubles parents face when they face naughty children. The princess was full of sympathy, and there were voices from all over Jiangdong against her marrying Jingzhou.

Sun Shangxiang rode slowly out of the city from the north gate, and returned to Beigushan Ganlu Palace. She wanted to ask her brother about the marriage, but unexpectedly, his brother went to Wu County early in the morning, so she had to return in dismay.

Sun Shangxiang wore a long green dress and a bamboo hat on her head. There were light gauze curtains around her to cover her face. This is why people couldn't see her. face.

Of course, Sun Shangxiang also heard the rumors that she was going to marry Jingzhou, which made her very conflicted. She had reached the age of marriage, and her mother and brother and sister-in-law urged her to get married again and again, but Jiangdong didn't have any young heroes she liked, so Ling Tong reluctantly She could consider it, but she felt that something was missing from Ling Tong?Can't impress her.

Occasionally in the dead of night, Liu Jing's figure would unconsciously appear in her heart, but she was immediately expelled from her heart. How could she like Liu Jing?

He is Jiangdong's enemy, and it's too late for her to hate him. During the battle of Chaisang, she hated Liu Jing to the bone. If she had the chance, she would not hesitate to pierce his heart with a sword and cut off his head.

But ever since she was captured and released by Liu Jing, there was a subtle change in her heart. She didn't hate Liu Jing as much as before. The hatred seemed to disappear overnight. A feeling emerged quietly again. [

Liu Jing is not only a hero in the world, but also young and heroic, very high-spirited, very much like her elder brother Sun Ce, she is indeed the most ideal life partner in her heart.

But he was Liu Biao's nephew, and her father died at Liu Biao's hands. Jing Wu's feud stood between her and Liu Jing like a mountain, making her keep telling herself that she must never marry the enemy's nephew.

When the news of the marriage between Jing and Wu came out, she began to feel confused. She didn't know how to choose, which made her feel comfortable.

Sun Shangxiang walked out of the North City Gate with a heavy heart. At this moment, a noise attracted her. Only then did she find a large group of young scholars standing in an open space outside the city. There were hundreds of them. Everyone was excited and shouted loudly.

Leading a dozen or so scholars, carrying the tablet of Confucius, confronted the soldiers. Thousands of soldiers were extremely nervous and formed a human wall to stop them from entering the city.

"We want to see Marquis Wu! Let's go into the city!"

The soldiers raised their arms angrily and shouted: "The treaty of betraying Jiangdong is never allowed to be signed!"

"I oppose asking for peace from Jingzhou!"

Sun Shangxiang was a little surprised, Jingkou had not moved to the academy yet, where did these scholars come from?And how did they know that Jiangdong and Jingzhou were negotiating secretly, and they even knew that Jiangdong wanted to cede land for peace.

At this time, dozens of cavalry guards rushed out of the city, and the leader was her cousin Sun Ben. Sun Shangxiang instinctively turned her back to prevent Sun Ben from finding herself.

She doesn't like this elder cousin very much. The second sister-in-law told her two days ago that it was this cousin who "forced" her elder brother to abdicate in the Sun's ancestral hall in an attempt to replace him. Even the elders Zhu Ran and Han Dang expressed their support for him, which made Sun Shangxiang feel extremely chilling.

It was only later that she gradually understood that Jiangdong's defeat in Chaisang was not due to his brother's ineffective command, but because the Jingzhou army was too strong. Their attempt to retreat thwarted them.

Sun Shangxiang snorted coldly in his heart, watching Sun Ben's performance with cold eyes.

Perhaps Sun Ben's attention was all on the hundreds of scholars, but he didn't find Sun Shangxiang on the side of the road. He urged his horse to gallop in front of the army, and shouted: "Don't stop them, let them enter the city, they are scholars. , has the right to see Wu Hou!"

The soldiers were very embarrassed, and they all turned their heads to look at the leader Yajiang. The Yajiang guarding the north gate stepped forward and saluted: "I want to report to you, these soldiers are too excited. I am afraid that they will cause trouble when they enter the city, so I stop them." .”[

"They are only excited because you stopped them, let them enter the city immediately, and I will bear all the consequences, do you hear me?" Sun Ben ordered loudly.

Sun Ben had deep connections in both the military and political circles, and Ya Jiang was quite afraid of him, so he had to order: "Get out of the way!"

The soldiers stepped aside, hundreds of scholars immediately cheered, and ran towards the city carrying the tablet of Confucius. Sun Ben lightly stroked his long beard and watched the scholars enter the city with great satisfaction in his heart. A cold smile.

His expression was just seen by Sun Shangxiang, and Sun Shangxiang suddenly realized that these scholars who came to Jingkou to make trouble were deliberately arranged by her cousin, she was furious in her heart, it was simply too despicable and shameful, using these simple-minded scholars to oppose her brother.

She was about to urge her immediately to question her, but she only heard Sun Ben order: "Go to the Palace of Manna!"

Sun Shangxiang was startled, his elder brother is not in Jingkou today, but Sun Ben is going to Ganlu Palace, why?She restrained her anger and impulse, and followed Sun Ben and his party from afar to the direction of Beigu Mountain.

. . . . . . . .

Ganlu Palace is located at the foot of Beigu Mountain, and Ganlu Temple was built not far away. At this time, Buddhism was already popular in the upper class of Jiangdong. Sun Quan's mother, Mrs. Wu, was a devout Buddhist believer.

Mrs. Wu never asked about political affairs and never went out. She didn't know what happened outside. Apart from caring about her daughter's marriage, she was not interested in other complicated and trivial matters.

Although she never asks about foreign affairs, it does not affect her status in Jiangdong. She is the wife of Sun Jian, and it can be said that she is the most noble person in Jiangdong. Whether it is civil servants, military generals or ordinary people, her words will change their position.

Even Marquis Wu and Sun Quan regarded her as his biological mother, and treated her more filially and respectfully. Her words were more authoritative than imperial edicts in Sun Quan's heart. Mrs. Wu knew this well, so she never interfered in government affairs decision-making.

In the past two years, the only thing Mrs. Wu worried about was her daughter Shangxiang's lifelong affairs. Seeing that her daughter was 19 years old and still alone, she also became anxious and urged her son several times to choose a husband for his sister.

However, although Mrs. Wu is anxious about her daughter's marriage, she herself is very picky about her future son-in-law. At first, Sun Quan proposed Ling Tong as his sister-in-law, but was rejected by Mrs. Wu. The reason is very simple. A man can easily become a widow.

Mrs. Wu made it clear that no military officer should be her son-in-law, and soon Sun Quan also proposed that Lu Xun's uncle Lu Sheng, although older, was the same age as Lu Xun, and he was very famous in Jiangdong because of his literary talents.

Because Lu Xun himself has a marriage contract with the eldest daughter of Sun Ce, it is logical for his younger uncle to marry his aunt. More importantly, the Lu family is the first family in Eastern Wu, so they are fully worthy of their daughter. Mrs. Wu has also read Lu Sheng's article , It made her appreciate it, so she agreed.

Unexpectedly, his daughter Shangxiang firmly opposed him, the reason being that he was too weak and his figure was like a child's. Mrs. Wu met Lu Sheng in person, and she also felt that he was too short, half a head shorter than her daughter, and very thin, obviously not a good candidate for longevity. Therefore, she acquiesced to her daughter's objection.

A few months ago, the daughter-in-law brought up the son of the Gu family. Mrs. Wu had met this man before. He was originally a palace guard. He was tall, handsome, and very good at melody. .

Although Mrs. Wu feels that this person has his appearance, as the son of Gu Yong, his literary talents are mediocre, which is a bit regrettable, but he is the son of a famous family, and his appearance is also good. What's more, his daughter is already 19 years old, and life-long events will never be delayed. Sorry, Mrs. Wu reluctantly agreed to the marriage.

Unexpectedly, her daughter Shangxiang was very staunch, and she rejected the marriage with three arrows, which caused an uproar in Jiangdong. Mrs. Wu was so angry and annoyed that she suddenly fell ill. It was not until recently that she recovered slowly.

At this time, in the lobby of Ganlu Palace, Mrs. Wu was surrounded by a group of maids, sitting on a sandalwood couch and listening to Sun Ben's story quietly. Sun Ben is Sun Jian's nephew, but he is about the same age as Mrs. Wu Since he is the patriarch of the Sun clan, Mrs. Wu made an exception to meet him.

Although Sun Ben wanted to seek the position of Marquis of Wu wholeheartedly, he knew very well in his heart that this kind of thing could not be told to the old lady, of course because Sun Quan was her son, and more importantly, the old lady didn't care about political affairs, and it would be useless to talk about it. She is angry.

But Sun Shangxiang can be used to make a fuss. Sun Ben learned that Sun Quan planned to marry Jingzhou with his younger sister, but he hadn't informed the old lady about it, so Sun Ben found an opportunity.

"My nephew wants to report a big event, about Shang Xiang's marriage!"

Although Mrs. Wu met Sun Ben, it was only out of courtesy, she was really not in the mood to listen to what Sun Ben had to say, but when Sun Ben mentioned his daughter's marriage, the old lady immediately became interested.

She laughed, "Let's hear it, what's the big deal?"

"My nephew learned that because of the failure of the western expedition to Jingzhou, Wu Hou decided to marry Shang Xiang to Liu Jing to seek peace. This incident made my nephew very dissatisfied. The army was defeated in the battle, but Gu's princess Shang Xiang was to bear the consequences. This is unfair to Shang Xiang, my nephew asks my aunt to uphold justice."

"what!"

Mrs. Wu was taken aback and asked her daughter to marry Liu Biao's nephew. Knowing that Liu Biao was the culprit who killed her husband, she was furious and asked coldly, "Are you serious about what you said?"

Sun Ben observed the words, he felt the old lady's anger, he couldn't help secretly happy, and added a more crucial sentence, "This matter is indeed true, and as far as my nephew knows, Liu Jing already has a wife! "

The last sentence was like throwing a burning stick into the oil drum, and Madam Wu finally became furious. She hit the ground with her faucet's crutches and shouted angrily to her left and right: "Go and call me that bastard!"

At this moment, Sun Shangxiang's cold voice came from the side, "What is the reason for the eldest brother to sow discord?"
