Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 445 Please surrender (2)

The messenger sent by Yuwen Chengdu came to Wancheng first, and the fast horse galloped across the streets of Wancheng.

The next day, Zhang Zhao and his party came to Wancheng under the escort of soldiers sent by Yuwen Chengdu, and waited for a long time at the gate of the city.

"Dare to ask, but the emissary of Marquis Wu?" Meng Xing stood in front of them, clasped his fists and saluted.

"Exactly!" Zhang Zhao lifted the curtain of the carriage, looked at the young official in front and said, after getting affirmation, Meng Xing took a notebook from the attendant beside him, and wrote something on it with a brush.

After finishing all this, Meng Xing smiled and said: "Please also ask the envoy to come with me, the king has been waiting for the envoy for a long time."

"Thank you!" Zhang Zhao nodded and said, he didn't expect Li Song to be waiting for him. Meng Xing got on the horse led by his attendants, took the reins, and rode the horse towards the Wancheng county government. At that time, he was on the court, Zhang Zhao and others followed behind Meng Xing.

Outside the Yamen of Wancheng County, Meng Xing and others got off their horses, walked in with Zhang Zhao, passed through the gate, and came outside the court. Meng Xing asked Zhang Zhao and others to wait here, and went in to meet Li Song himself.

Meng Xing knelt down and said, "Wailang Meng Xing, member of the Ministry of Rites, pays homage to Your Majesty."

"Free from courtesy!" Li Song said.

"Thank you, my lord!" Meng Xing got up and continued: "Your lord, Zhang Zhao, the envoy of Marquis Wu of Eastern Wu, brought you here, and now you are waiting outside the hall."

"Show him in!" Li Song said.

"Your Majesty has an order! Announce Zhang Zhao's audience!" The servant on the side immediately shouted out.

Zhang Zhao tidied up his clothes, stepped into the courtroom, and saw a fair-faced young man in a white dragon robe sitting on the county seat.

"Foreign Minister Zhang Zhao pays homage to His Royal Highness Tang Wang!" Zhang Zhao bowed with his hands clasped.

Li Song looked at Zhang Zhao and said, "Zhang Zhao, why did Sun Quan send you here?"

Li Song already knew that Zhang Zhao was here to surrender.

"King Tang, with your wisdom, how can you not guess why I came to meet the King this time?" Zhang Zhao said.

"Why, Sun Quan saw that the situation was unfavorable, so he wanted to surrender to me? What conditions does Sun Quan have?" Li Song said.

"My lord, Sun Quan, is willing to submit to the king and guard Jiangdong for the king." Zhang Zhao said.

"Of course, the lonely king can't agree to this matter. The unification of the world is the general trend! How can he allow Sun Quan to separate Jiangdong." Li Song said.

What he wants is this world. How can he tolerate someone who separates Jiangdong and becomes China? This is absolutely impossible.

Zhang Zhao raised several conditions in succession, but Li Song rejected them one by one. None of the conditions proposed was acceptable to Li Song.

"I just want to know, after my Lord Sun Quan surrenders to the king, how will the king arrange him?" Zhang Zhao said.

"I will build him a luxurious mansion in Chang'an for the Sun family to live in. The Sun family's children can still serve as officials, and the lonely king can also guarantee that Sun Quan's position as Marquis of Wu will always be his, allowing him to pass it on from generation to generation. "

"Sun Quan's surrender will ensure that the world will be united, the country will be peaceful and the people will be safe, and the ancestral temple will not be destroyed, and the prosperity of the descendants will not diminish." Li Song said.

"Your Majesty, if Sun Quan surrenders, what your Majesty just said is tempting, but who knows if there will be any changes, it is better to change the method, which will benefit everyone." Zhang Zhao said.

Li Song sneered in his heart, what do you mean by accident, in the final analysis, it's just that I'm afraid that I will go back on my word, I want to see what you can do.

"Oh! I don't know what kind of trick it is! Let's talk about it."

Zhang Zhao cupped his hands and said, "Marriage!"

"Marriage?"

"Yes, Soochow is willing to marry a daughter to the king as a concubine! The dowry is Soochow's territory." Zhang Zhao said.

This is a good calculation!Sun Quan married his sister and surrendered with the opportunity. With this relationship, there is no need to be afraid of Li Song's rebellion. After all, Li Song will become emperor in the future. If his reputation is not good, it will easily arouse some people's ambitions.

Secondly, Sun Quan married his sister with Soochow as a dowry, and they became a family from the moment they surrendered, and it was different immediately.

"Oh! I don't know that Sun Quan intends to marry his younger sister to me as his concubine. I heard that he has three younger sisters. Is it possible that the three will marry together? If so, it would be a good story." Li Song laughed.

"Prince Tang is joking!" Zhang Zhao said with a smile, "Marquis Wu has only one younger sister who has not yet been married, and the other two have already married."

They had already appointed Sun Quan's younger sister, Sun Shangxiang, as this political bargaining chip.

"The king of Tang doesn't know! Miss Sun is as beautiful as a flower, and there are countless sons who have pursued him. The matchmakers who come to the door to solicit matchmakers have broken the threshold of Wuhou's mansion. If the old man is younger than [-] years old, it is hard to say Let the matchmaker come to propose marriage." Zhang Zhao had a regretful expression, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

"Oh! Since this Ms. Sun has so many suitors, why hasn't she betrothed yet?" Li Song looked at Zhang Zhao meaningfully, with the expression that I don't read much, don't lie to me.

Naturally, Zhang Zhao would not tell him that these were just bragging. Because Sun Shangxiang has a rebellious personality that is completely different from traditional women, she is strong and brave. There are more than 100 maidservants around her, all of whom guard her with swords.

Ordinary people, no one would dare to provoke this woman, so at this age, they have not betrothed to others. Everyone is afraid of her, so when Sun Quan and Wu Guotai heard that Sun Shangxiang was to be married, they agreed without hesitation.

"To tell you the truth! Ms. Sun wants to like heroes, and she will not marry anyone who is not a hero. I have countless young heroes from Jiangdong, but none of them can fall into Ms. Sun's eyes." Zhang Zhao said.

Li Song sneered in his heart, no wonder this Ms. Sun was so picky when she reached the age of marriage and still can't get married, no wonder someone wanted it!
Zhang Zhao went on to say: "May I ask the young heroes in this world, besides the king, who else can be called the hero of the master." A small compliment.

"Oh! In that case, I must marry!" Li Song said with a smile, he was indeed the hero among Zhang Zhao's men, and Li Song was a little flattered when he said that.

"My lord, are you agreeing?" Zhang Zhao was overjoyed, but he didn't dare to show it all on his face.

Li Song thought to himself, if it was as good as Zhang Zhao said, it would not be difficult to marry him, anyway, there are already a few in the family, and one more is not too much.

"In order to promote the friendship between Sun and Li's family, and for the people of Jiangdong, the lonely king agreed to this marriage. By the way, what is Miss Sun's name?" Li Song said.

"That's really great, back to Your Majesty, Miss Sun's name is Sun Shangxiang, she is the jewel in the palm of my lord and old lady Wu Guotai." Zhang Zhao said.

Li Song was stunned, it turned out to be Sun Shangxiang, why didn't he think it was her, isn't that Liu Bei's wife?It is said that this woman is difficult to fuck.
