Soldiers come to the world

Chapter 463 Sun Shangxiang's Choice

Sun Shangxiang slowly walked out from behind a pillar, with anger in her eyes, she never imagined that this cousin whom she once respected so much was such a despicable villain.

In order to seize the position of his elder brother, he did not hesitate to use all kinds of despicable means, spread all kinds of rumors to discredit his elder brother, and provoke scholars to make trouble, and now he wants to use his marriage to encourage his mother to attack his elder brother.

Sun Shangxiang finally could bear it no longer and stepped forward. She stared at Sun Ben coldly and said, "Why didn't you tell mother clearly that you wanted to take the position of Marquis Wu?"

"Shang Xiang, don't talk nonsense!" Madam Wu said very displeased.

Sun Shangxiang hurriedly turned to his mother and said, "I'm not talking nonsense. Mother doesn't hear about outside affairs, but who in Jiangdong doesn't know that Sun Jing'an is going to replace Marquis Wu? He publicly accused his elder brother of not being worthy of being the Lord of Jiangdong in his family temple, and tried his best to win over all civil and military officials. Support yourself, even Zhu Ran and Han Dang said that they would discuss Lord Wu again, and now he wants to use my marriage to encourage my mother to come forward, his heart is damning!"

Mrs. Wu knew that although her daughter was willful and reckless and had a strong personality, she never lied, let alone exaggerated. The old lady was also a little puzzled, and looked at Sun Ben in puzzlement, She hoped that Sun Ben could give herself an explanation.

"You spitting blood!"

Sun Ben blushed, pointed at Sun Shangxiang and said in embarrassment and annoyance: "I have good intentions, I am afraid that you will be wronged, and I don't want Princess Jiangdong to marry the nephew of the enemy, and she wants to be a wife. This is a disgrace to Jiangdong. , it is a disgrace to the Sun family, as the patriarch of the Sun family, of course I have to take care of it!"

"Hmph! A kind heart?" [

Sun Shangxiang snorted coldly, and then asked back: "Then why didn't you object publicly? Why didn't you object in the family temple? Why didn't you go to your brother to argue? Why did you come to complain to your mother? Are you kind?"

"I just found out about this too!"

"No way! This incident spread all over Jiangdong ten days ago. How could you just find out? It's because my brother went to Wu County today, so you seized this opportunity to complain to your mother, trying to take advantage of her ignorance of the truth. Come to coax mother to express her opinion."

Although Sun Shangxiang has a strong personality, she is actually a smart woman. On the way back to Ganlu Palace, she understood Sun Ben's intention to provoke scholars to make trouble today.

Because my elder brother was not in Jingkou today, and the guard at the city gate also reported to him, he would naturally let the scholars into the city out of fear of his power. It has already had a very bad effect.

In fact, Sun Shangxiang had a deeper reason that he didn't expect, that is, Sun Ben had already penetrated into Wu County, and Zhu Ran and Han Dang successively went to visit Cheng Pu, who was in charge of Wu County's military power.

At the same time, Sun Quan hurriedly sent Zhang Zhao to stabilize Cheng Pu, but he was very worried that Zhang Zhao would not be able to restrain Cheng Pu. If Cheng Pu was instigated, the consequences would be disastrous, so Sun Quan rushed to Wu County overnight.

At this time Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong were not in Jingkou, and Zhou Yu confronted Zhao Yun in Jiangbei, leaving only one veteran Huang Gai sitting in Jingkou. Sun Ben took this opportunity to ask Mrs. Wu to come forward for her daughter.

Mrs. Wu has a high status. If she expresses that she does not support Sun Quan, the morale of the army will inevitably be unstable. More importantly, she can authorize herself to preside over the situation in Jingkou temporarily. This is the real purpose of Sun Ben's transfer of Sun Quan from Jingkou.

Once the scholars make serious troubles in Jingkou City, Sun Ben can step forward under the authorization of Mrs. Wu to preside over the situation in Jingkou instead of Wu Hou, calm down the troubles caused by scholars, and thus skillfully seize the power in Jingkou.

Sun Shangxiang's angry denunciation made Mrs. Wu faintly feel something. Although she believes in Buddhism, she is not stupid. Once someone tells her the truth, she will naturally not be reckless again. She waved to the people next to her, "Since Marquis Wu is not in Beijing Don’t go looking for him, wait until he comes back.”

Sun Ben was about to succeed, but was disturbed by Sun Shangxiang. He was very anxious and said repeatedly: "Shangxiang, why are you so confused? This is a matter of your life. This kind of marriage will ruin your life's happiness. , I was caring for you and helping you, but you blame Brother Yu instead, how embarrassing it is!"

"Then thank you for your 'concern'."

Sun Shangxiang bit the word caring very hard, and she smiled proudly: "I will make decisions about my marriage, and marrying Liu Jing is also my own choice. I don't think it will ruin my life's happiness. This matter is my responsibility." I will explain it to my mother, so you don't need to worry about it."

After a pause, Sun Shangxiang sneered again: "In addition, I have suggested to General Huang to put those scholars under house arrest and not allow them to cause trouble in the capital. At the same time, close the city gates so that some people with ulterior motives are not allowed to enter the city. Eldest brother, maybe I let you down."[

Sun Ben's face changed drastically, he took a step back suddenly, and pressed the hilt of the sword involuntarily, but Sun Shangxiang drew out the sword hurriedly, put the sword against his throat, and said coldly: "How dare you salute in front of my mother, I will One sword kills you!"

Mrs. Wu also saw the subtle movement of Sun Ben's hand pressing the hilt of the sword, she was really surprised, her face darkened, "Shang Xiang, you're rude, let Brother Jing'an leave."

Sun Shangxiang shouted to the guards next to him: "Who told you to allow him to bring a sword into the palace, send him out quickly!"

Several guards quickly stepped forward to untie Sun Ben's long sword, waved to him and said, "Please, Sun Ben!"

Sun Ben was ruined by Sun Shangxiang, he hated him to the core, but he didn't dare to explode, he groaned heavily, turned around and left quickly.

. . . . . . . . .

When Sun Ben left, Sun Shangxiang put down his sword and knelt in front of his mother. Mrs. Wu stared at her for a while and asked, "Sun Ben wants to take your brother's position, is it true?"

"That's true, my daughter dare not lie."

Mrs. Wu pondered for a long time, took out a piece of jade pendant, handed it to a guard and said: "With this jade pendant as evidence, go and tell General Huang that when Marquis Wu is not in Jingkou, no one is allowed to make trouble. Whether it’s right or wrong, we’ll talk about everything when Marquis Wu comes back.”

"Follow the order!" The guard took the jade pendant, turned around and left in a hurry.

Then Mrs. Wu asked her daughter coldly: "You actually want to marry a nephew who killed your father and enemy?"

Sun Shangxiang bit her lips tightly and said: "My daughter only knew the horror of war when she participated in the war. The Sun and Liu families have been fighting for decades because of this enmity. Countless soldiers died in battle, but their parents, wives and children are alone. This marriage resolves the feud between the two families.”

As he said that, Sun Shangxiang's tears flowed down, and his voice was a little choked, "Sun and Liu will stop fighting from now on, and they will fight against Cao Cao together, and thousands of soldiers will not fight for the Sun family's private revenge." If I die in another land, I, Jiangdong, will not suffer from the northern tigers and wolves, if Shang Xiang is exchanged for the peace of Jiangdong, I am willing."

Mrs. Wu was also a little sad in her heart, and sighed: "A man can, but let a woman make a marriage. If your father finds out in the underworld, how can he feel at ease? Shang Xiang, as a mother, I really don't want you to marry someone who is not good. The man I like."

Sun Shangxiang blushed suddenly, and said in a low voice: "My daughter actually doesn't dislike him."

Madam Wu was a little surprised. This was the first time she heard her daughter say that she didn't dislike someone. She also became a little curious about Liu Jing. What kind of person is he?

The old lady thought for a while and said: "Let's talk about this matter later! I have to think about it carefully, and I have to ask your brother carefully. No matter what, I will never agree easily."

Early the next morning, Sun Quan rushed back to Jingkou again. He got Cheng Pu's guarantee and let go of his worries about Wu Jun, but he was also worried about Jingkou's loss, so he hurried back.

In the official room, Sun Quan listened to Huang Gai's report. Only then did he know that when he left Jingkou, something serious happened in Jingkou. Conspiracy, stop it in time.

This made Sun Quan furious, and he slapped the table heavily, "I tolerated everything, but he pressed on everywhere. Does he insist on 'forcing' me to kill someone?"

Huang Gai quickly persuaded: "Marquis Wu calm down, now is not the time to turn his face."

Sun Quan paced back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back, furious in his heart. Of course he knew that if he turned against Sun Ben at this time, Jiangdong would immediately split up. It is gradually beneficial for him to resolve those who support Sun Ben, and he can only do it after the hidden danger of division is resolved.

However, he was also extremely grateful to his sister for helping him in danger, defusing Sun Ben's most vicious move and preserving his position as Marquis of Wu.

Sun Quan thought for a while and then ordered: "Release those scholars, and warn them. If they dare to make trouble again, they will be accused of accusing them with evil words. Go!"

"Subordinates obey orders!"

Huang Gai saluted and retreated slowly. At this time, Sun Quan's wife, Mrs. Xie, came in from the side door with a bowl of ginseng tea, and said with a smile, "Is there anything you can do with me, the general?"

Sun Quan nodded, "I heard that mother has looked for you?"

"Hmm! I was about to tell the general that my mother sent Luzhu to pass on the message for Shangxiang's marriage. She blamed the general for not discussing with her in advance and decided to marry Shangxiang to Jingzhou without authorization. She asked the general to explain to her. "

Sun Quan only felt a headache, but he couldn't explain the matter to his mother. He knew that her mother would never agree. Xie saw her husband's difficulty, so she smiled and said, "Lvzhu's tone seems to be that mother is not determined either. Objection, still hesitating."

Sun Quan was startled, and quickly asked, "What's going on?"

"I also asked Lu Zhu, but Lu Zhu didn't dare to say more, it seemed that Shang Xiang was willing to marry Liu Jing, so my mother refused to agree from the beginning, but later she became a little shaken."

Sun Quan was secretly happy. If this was the case, there would be hope. Sun Quan knew very well that the key was that his sister was willing. As long as she persisted, her mother would eventually agree.

But I have to find a way to persuade my mother first, and when she agrees, I will go to see her by myself, and the matter will come naturally.

As the saying goes, 'A better husband is better than a wife', Mrs. Xie understands her husband's thoughts too well, she smiled slightly and said: "If the general feels uncertain about convincing mother, you can ask Lu Ziheng and Qiao Guo to persuade her first."

Lu Ziheng is Lu Fan. When Sun Ce raised troops in Jiangdong, his two mothers were in Jiangdu. They were about to be taken hostage by Yuan Shu. People have never forgotten Lu Fan's life-saving grace.

Lu Fan was originally the prefect of Kuaiji, but he fled back to Jingkou because Sun Lang seized the military power in Kuaiji.

Qiao Guo’s old name was Qiao Xuan, a celebrity in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, and also Sun Ce’s father-in-law. After Sun Ce was assassinated and died, his wife, Qiao Shi, was determined to be chaste for her husband, and worked hard to raise Sun Ce’s children. respect, and respectfully call her Mrs. Jiangdong.

Because of his daughter, Qiao Xuan was also deeply respected by Mrs. Wu. Most of his suggestions would be listened to by Mrs. Wu. If the two of them were to join forces to persuade their mother, the chances of success would be much greater.

Sun Quan was overjoyed and gave a thumbs up in praise: "The virtuous wife is indeed my good wife!"
