The three princesses, Princess Hanyang, Princess Dongping, and Princess Ningguo, were canonized. This does not seem to be a big problem.
But——
There is a big problem with the titles of the three princesses.
Let’s talk about the eldest princess of Hanyang first. Her title is Hanyang. There is no problem with this title because Hanyang is now under the Han Dynasty.
Hanyang County is located in Longxi, so it makes sense to give the eldest princess a county fiefdom, as the eldest daughter of the emperor.
But the issue of title blocking for the second and third princesses is huge.
Princess Dongping and Princess Ningguo, Dongping and Ningguo are both counties, which means that their fiefdoms are in the same county, which is in line with etiquette.
But the problem lies in these two fiefdoms.
Because neither Dongping nor Ningguo belongs to the Han Dynasty now. Dongping County is under the jurisdiction of Yanzhou in Cao Wei, while Ningguo County is under the jurisdiction of Yangzhou in Soochow.
Confer the fiefdoms of the two princesses, one in the State of Wei and the other in the State of Wu.
What does this mean?
Does the emperor not want to see these two daughters?
Absolutely impossible.
First of all, the courtiers of the Han Dynasty who knew Liu Chan well knew one thing, that is, Liu Chan did not show any particular preference for any of his children. If he really had a preference, perhaps only the eldest princess Liu Rongyue did.
Because Liu Rongyue is his first child.
Perhaps everyone in the world prefers sons, thinking that sons can pass on the incense, but after more than ten years, the courtiers of the Han Dynasty discovered that their emperor was different, and he preferred his three daughters.
So——
The question arises, since I like the three girls very much, why are the fiefdoms given to them in other countries?
There is only one answer,
These places,
It will soon become the territory of the Han Dynasty.
Unification War——
Almost all ministers think so,
His Majesty the Emperor may be preparing to launch a war of unification. Apart from the fact that one of the two princesses’ fiefdoms is in Wei and the other in Wu, there is another more important reason for reaching this conclusion.
That was the smallpox epidemic in the Han Dynasty. The poisoner was Chen Yuan, and Chen Yuan was a spy of Cao Wei.
However, Liu Chan didn't care what the ministers thought. At today's court meeting, he didn't mention the relevant words. After conferring the title of prince or princess, Liu Chan suddenly became heavy.
"The Queen was a virtuous and virtuous person, but this time she died due to the collapse of smallpox." As he spoke, Liu Chan frowned slightly, and it could be seen that he was sad again: "I conferred the title of Queen Zhang to Queen Jingxianyi, and was buried in Tailing.
”
"No!"
All ministers agreed. Now that the emperor has made a decision regarding the queen's posthumous title and the name of the mausoleum where she will be buried,
They naturally respect it.
"The great Han was reborn after a calamity,
I hope you all will love me." Liu Chan looked at the civil and military officials in the hall and said in a deep voice, "I hope you will always remember that the world is not at peace yet, and I, a man, still have many problems that need to be faced."
"No!"
The ministers promised again.
"I have decided now!" Liu Chan said again: "The next year will change the Yuan Dynasty and the Han Dynasty will be rejuvenated. Next year will be the first year of the Han Dynasty."
"Reviving the great Han Dynasty starts from now on!"
Liu Chan's tone was very firm. After experiencing this smallpox epidemic, he also understood the truth that the world must be unified as soon as possible, otherwise even the emperor would not be able to protect his beloved.
"Rejuvenate the great man!"
"Rejuvenate the great man!"
In an instant, the entire front hall of Weiyang Palace was uploaded from the main hall to the outside of the hall. The ministers and the imperial guards outside the hall uniformly shouted "Rejuvenate the Great Han."
Not long after Liu Chan changed the Yuan Dynasty to the Han Dynasty in Weiyang Palace, Sun Quan of Wuchang changed the year 240 AD to the first year of Chiwu.
Upon hearing the news, Liu Chan was speechless.
Gu Huan
‘This Sun Shiwan is really good at following the trend. If I don’t change the reign name, you won’t change it?’
Liu Chan felt that Sun Quan was a bit speechless when he changed his reign title, while Sun Quan of Wuchang was very dissatisfied with Liu Chan using the name of the county town of Wu State to title his daughter.
"What does Liu Adou want to do?"
In the imperial study, Sun Quan said angrily: "Does it mean that he wants to imitate his father Liu Bei and annex my great Wuhu?"
Bu Zhi, who succeeded Zhuge Jin as the general, raised his hands and said: "Your Majesty, Western Shu is becoming stronger and stronger day by day, and it is no longer the Western Shu that Liu Bei had."
"Well!" Sun Quan asked deliberately: "Out of love for you, what should I do?"
Today's big men are naturally not the big men of Liu Bei's time. This three-year-old baby also knows things. As the emperor of Wu, how could Sun Quan not understand.
"Your Majesty!" Bu Zhi said: "In the past, Cao and Wei were strong, but Han and Wu were weak."
Sun Quan nodded slightly when he heard this, but did not speak. Bu Zhi then said: "If Cao Wei is strong, I, Wu, can unite with Han to fight against Cao..." He paused for a moment, and then said: "Now Han is strong
, and Wei and Wu are weak."
"Should we unite with Wei to fight against Han?" Sun Quan asked.
This is not the first time that the alliance with Wei and Han has been mentioned. As early as after the Battle of Guanzhong, some people in the Soochow court had begun to raise this opinion and have done so.
Just——
They united with Cao Wei several times, but Wu did not gain any advantage. Instead, Wu lost its city and territory, first losing Zigui, and then directly losing a large area of territory south of Jiaogui.
Are we still going to unite with Wei and fight against Han?
"Your Majesty is wise!" Bu Zhao nodded and said: "Although joining Wei to fight against Han may not necessarily allow Wu to rise, but it can contain Western Shu."
"Oh???" Sun Quan frowned.
"Your Majesty!" Bu Zhao said: "On the basis of uniting with Wei, we can also continue to maintain contact with Western Shu..."
"Why is this?" Sun Quan asked deliberately.
"Allying with Wei... is to prevent the Xishu family from becoming dominant;" Bu Zhi said with a sneer: "Maintaining contact with Xishu is to make Wu an invincible position."
Sun Quan was suspicious in his heart that the purpose of joining forces with Cao Wei was to prevent Western Shu from becoming stronger. He naturally recognized this, but how could maintaining the connection with Western Shu keep Wu in an invincible position?
When Sun Quan was confused, Bu Zhi lowered his voice and said: "I heard that the smallpox epidemic in Western Shu was caused by Sima Yi sending people to poison it."
Hiss——
Sun Quan was shocked and asked, "Is this true?"
Bu Zhao nodded and said: "According to the news from Chang'an's spies, Weiyang Palace conducted a large-scale investigation not long ago, and it was found that the person who poisoned this time was an eunuch, and this eunuch secretly visited the city before the smallpox epidemic.
Guo Hongnong..."
Sun Quan was stunned.
Hongnong is the current border county of Cao Wei, adjacent to Tongguan in Western Shu. Previously, Western Shu released Cao Rui and returned to Wei. It is said that Cao Rui stayed in Hongnong for a while, and then rushed from Hongnong to Luoyang, defeating his uncle Cao Yu, and finally
He ascended the throne of Cao Wei's emperor again.
The time when Cao Rui was in Hongnong was just before the smallpox outbreak.
If Cao Wei poisoned him.
"Your Majesty!"
Bu Zhi smiled and said: "As far as Wei Chen knows, Liu Adou has six concubines in his harem, but he only loves Zhang Yuan."
"This time Zhang Yuan died of smallpox..." Bu Zhi sneered: "If the ministers had expected it right, with Liu Adou's character, it won't be long before he will send troops to Cao Wei."
"???"
Sun Quan did not speak, but he somewhat agreed with Bu Zhao's remarks, but he was wondering if Liu Chan really used troops against Cao Wei.
Is this a good thing or a bad thing for me, Da Wu?
