The last three kingdoms

Chapter 1310 The Change of Xiling
The death of Sun Hao did not stabilize the situation in Jiangdong, but instead made it turbulent.Although after Sun Hao's death, the people in Jiangdong applauded everyone, but after all, Sun Hao was the lord of a country. His sudden death caused a shock in Jiangdong that was definitely no less than a magnitude [-] earthquake.

"A country cannot be without a king for a day, we still have to support a new king as soon as possible to stabilize the situation." Zhou Chu said to the Lu brothers.

Among the six brothers of the Lu family, the eldest son Lu Yan, the second son Lu Jing, and the third son Lu Xuan Shangwu are all good at martial arts, while the youngest sixth brother Lu Dan is still young, and the most talented is none other than the fourth son Lu Xuan. Lu Ji and his fifth son Lu Yun, Lu Ji and Lu Yun were the masterminds behind the killing of the emperor.

With the current family status, the Lu family can be regarded as the leading wealthy family in Jiangdong. The Gu family, Zhu family, and Zhang family, which used to be called the four major families in Jiangdong with the Lu family, have gradually declined. The representatives of the Lu family, Lu Kang and Lu Kai, have passed away, but the status of the Lu family in Jiangdong has not been shaken in the slightest. Although Sun Hao often attacks the Jiangdong scholar family, he still dare not pretend to the Lu family. Afterwards, the trilogy was led by five brothers Lu Yan, and Lu Jing married Sun Hao's younger sister.

However, Sun Hao's suppression of the Lu family still exists. The most obvious example is that after Lu Kang's death, the highest positions held by the Lu brothers were just generals and generals. These official positions are not high or low, but compared to Lu Kang's position as the Grand Sima and Governor, the official positions of the brothers are indeed very shabby.

For the Lu family that used to be in full swing, the current situation is tantamount to losing power. If it continues like this, the status of the Lu family must be in jeopardy. Lu Ji and Lu Yun thought of this countermeasure in peace Sun Hao's move attracted Zhou Chu because of it.

As for whether to usurp the throne after killing the king, Lu Ji and Lu Yun have no such plans. Originally, they killed Sun Hao in the name of pleading for the people, but in the end, they will become emperors themselves, which will inevitably make others doubt their motives and intentions. Now It was a time when the national crisis was imminent and the powerful enemy was pressing down on the country. Wu State obviously needed a stable environment. If it usurped the throne and stood on its own, it would definitely speed up the turmoil and give the Han people an opportunity to take advantage of it.

Therefore, Lu Ji and Lu Yun still tend to choose the successor among the descendants of the Sun family, which can ease the turbulent situation in Soochow.

Although Sun Hao has many sons, he is still young, not to mention that the current situation is tense, and the whole body is affected by a single hair, how dare Lu Kang and Lu Yun dare to risk the world.

Of course, this tendency is also considered, and it cannot be said that as long as it is the Sun royal family, it has the right to succeed.

Sun Hao's bunch of sons were all excluded, and it was already a great grace not to wipe them out, so how could it be possible for them to get involved in the throne.

Sun Hao's sons were deprived of the throne and exiled to Jiaozhou and Guangzhou.

At this moment, Zhou Chu proposed to establish a new king as soon as possible. In fact, Lu Ji and Lu Yun had already planned. The candidate they identified was the third son of Emperor Jing's Sun Xiu, the grandson of King Liang.

In fact, Sun Xiu's son was the legal heir to the throne, but at that time Pu Yangxing and Zhang Buquan were in power, thinking that the young master could not be established, and an older emperor should be established, so as to take advantage of the long-term stability of the country.

At that time, Empress Sun Xiu and Empress Zhu were a girl, so naturally she did not dare to resist Pu Yangxing and Zhang Bu's suggestion, and welcomed Sun Hao.The most ironic thing is that Pu Yangxing and Zhang Bu became the earliest victims of Sun Hao's atrocities, and they were killed in the same year that Sun Hao succeeded to the throne.

But now the young princes have already grown up, but they are living a life like a prisoner under the supervision of Sun Hao. In order to prevent any accidents, Sun Hao killed Sun Xiu's eldest son and second son, and only made him the third son. His descendants are King Liang, and the fourth son is King Chen.

Sun Hao also considered that Sun Xiu's two youngest sons were the youngest, even if they grew up in the future, they would not have any impact on Sun Hao's status, and they would not threaten Sun Hao's throne at all.

But if Sun Hao knew that they intended Sun Biao to inherit the throne, Sun Hao might have executed both of them long ago, and they would stay there again.

At this time, Sun Biao was still far away in Nanping in Jian'an County, so Lu Ji sent people to set off immediately to Jian'an County to welcome Sun Biao to succeed him.

As for Cen Hun and other dozens of courtiers, they were sentenced to being torn apart and executed in public at the entrance of the downtown area.

By the time Sun Biao returned to Jianye and became the throne, it was already March of the second year.

Because of his meritorious service in killing Sun Hao, Zhou Chu was granted the titles of Marquis of Guangchang and Governor, Lu Ji was the prime minister of the left, Lu Yun was the prime minister of the right, Lu Yan was the chief minister of the left, Lu Jing was the chief minister of the right, and Lu Xuan was the general , the rest of the people have their own rewards, and the governors of all places maintain their official positions.

Sun Hao was punished, and the news room for the new emperor's succession arrived in Xiling. After hearing the news, Cen An was so shocked that he broke out in cold sweat, and his back felt cold.

Unlike other town governors who are as stable as mountains, Cen An is in a panic. Although the new emperor succeeded to the throne and issued an edict to the town governors to stay in the towns and keep their official positions unchanged, as Cen Hun's younger brother, Cen An's His heart was always on the ups and downs, especially after Cen Hun was executed, Cen An's sense of crisis had never been relieved, any disturbance made him restless.

Of course Zhou Chu, Lu Ji and Lu Yun wanted to move Cen An, but Cen An was far away from Xiling, bordering Yizhou. As long as Jianye sent troops, it would definitely force Cen An to surrender to Ji Han.In order to prevent such an accident, Zhou Chu discussed with Lu Ji and the others not to use troops against Xiling for the time being, and issued an edict to reassure him. If there is a chance in the future, he will be transferred away from Xiling to avoid future troubles.

But the nervous Cen An had already become a frightened bird. When he heard that Zhou Chu had arrived in Wuchang, he thought that the Wu court was going to deal with him, so he immediately sent someone to surrender to Wang Jun, the governor of Jihan Yizhou, and handed over Xiling place.

Zhou Chu arrived in Wuchang originally to inspect Jingzhou's defense, but he didn't expect to push Cen An back. After hearing the news, Zhou Chu made a decisive decision and immediately gathered Jingzhou's soldiers and horses to attack Xiling.

The importance of Xiling is self-evident, and Zhou Chu cannot tolerate any mistakes in Xiling. Now that Cen An has surrendered to Ji Han, Xiling is in danger, but fortunately, even if the Han army starts from Yong'an to take over Xiling, it still needs Within a certain period of time, Zhou Chu marched from Wuchang first, and there was still time.
