Sitting in a high position, he watched numbly as Liu Bei walked through the wedding ceremony laughing and joking, as if the whole commotion in the pavilion had nothing to do with him.
Also, last night he confided the truth to his sister Sun Shangxiang, and his words all reflected his disgust for this marriage as an elder brother.
If it weren't for the fact that marrying Liu Bei would be of great benefit to Jiangdong, he would not have been able to ignore the disgusting physical and psychological reactions of marrying his young girl to a slovenly man with filth written all over his face.
Sun Quan and Zhou Yu, the two top decision-makers in Soochow, actually have very different personalities.
Zhou Yu is the kind of person who is decisive when it comes to decisions, and is so confident that sometimes it makes people feel that he can't listen to other people's opinions at all - at best this is decisive, at worst this is arrogance, but no matter what
, as a person who has selfishness engraved in his bones, as long as his direct interests are not lost, he can basically remain absolutely rational in dealing with anything.
But Sun Quan was different.
In most cases, history books do not lie. Sun Quan's indecisive temper described by later generations basically gave him a "emotional" label. Sun Quan's moodiness in the second half of his life led to the Soochow court often encountering major events.
There is no way to respond quickly, this is clearly written on paper.
If it weren't for the emergence of numerous talented people in Soochow later, with rising stars such as Lu Xun adding a lot of chips to Soochow's national power, Xiang must have been driven by Sun Quan's wavering character, so Soochow would have been riddled with holes by him.
Today's Sun Quan seems to be very different from the descriptions of later generations. After all, the effect of a butterfly flapping its wings has already had a very obvious impact on the trend of the entire world.
It is not unimaginable that Sun Quan will make progress.
It's just that...the hesitation deep in his bones cannot be concealed.
When encountering a major event that seemed unable to change the outcome, Sun Quan, who had no one to help him, could only act like an idle man in his eighties, sitting on a chair, drinking tea, eating, looking around, his eyes unfocused.
Can't live.
If it were Zhou Yu, considering that the overall situation is irreversible and the marriage is destined to be a loss, he would definitely try his best to make up for it.
For example, instructing others to create some chaos in the streets - the enemy that Sun Quan and others had been guarding against for more than half a month did not come, and they might have to create the illusion of the enemy's arrival themselves - only in this way can they find an excuse to postpone the wedding and make up for it.
Loss creates more time.
But it is obvious that one is Sun Quan and not Zhou Yu, and the other is that Zhou Yu is still missing.
The decadent Sun Quan listened to the master of ceremonies continue to advance the wedding. Liu Bei grinned and continued to perform the wedding rituals with Sun Shangxiang, who was covered with a red cloth. He did not even notice the person next to him who should have reacted the most violently.
Wu Guotai was so calm at this moment that it was hard to understand.
There seems to be some little weirdness in this marriage, but if you don't pay attention, no one will notice it.
Lu Su is not a very responsible person. He is an excellent assistant. Standing behind Sun Quan, he can always remind Sun Quan of some correct strategies, but... Sun Quan is paralyzed, and Lu Su also loses his soul.
Even a thoughtful person like Lu Su didn't notice that all the officers and soldiers at the wedding scene were dispatched by someone. At this moment, Your Excellency Qingluan, except for Liu Bei's group of guards, the remaining Soochow officials were all useless.
How many combat-effective characters - in other words, if something unexpected happens at this time, with just these people on the field, as long as Liu Bei is not threatened, Sun Quan and others can only watch the changes happen.
The same thing happened outside the door - the crowd of onlookers were like extras who clocked in for work. When they saw the main characters entering the house, they immediately got off work and finished their work. They dispersed in just a few breaths.
The streets were suddenly empty.
As if a storm was about to come, the birds and animals, aware of the danger, returned to their nests early. Only the authorities were not aware of these strange things at all.
"Lu Xun didn't come..."
Probably because he heard the master of ceremonies talking about how the incense burner and the groom would offer incense together, he realized belatedly that the time for the ceremony was almost here. After the ceremony, Liu Bei, the old man who was not shy, consummated his bridal chamber.
On the night of flowers and candles, Sun Quan's suffering should stop.
Sitting upright slightly, Sun Quan looked around again, and suddenly found that Lu Xun had not come until now - this made Sun Quan, who was already irritable, feel more anxious.
Lu Xun was a talent that Sun Quan unexpectedly discovered in this marriage plan. Although he had met Lu Xun before, he never knew that this boy who came from the Lu family in Wu County could be so reliable in his work.
Hmm... Thinking about it this way, in fact, there are some gains from this marriage - he could only comfort himself in this way.
Several doors in the hall of Qingluan Pavilion were open. Originally, Sun Quan's intention was to let the people gather around to give some atmosphere to today's scene, but now there are mostly guards brought by Liu Bei outside the door.
He stood guard for the officers and soldiers of Soochow in a daze. Of course, judging from the scene, there were still many people and the scene was still noisy. This is probably why no one noticed the changes outside the field, right?
"Hey...Isn't this Sun Quan not well received by the people of Jiangdong? How come just in such a short time...all the people on the street have disappeared?"
"Who knows...just go away. Anyway, it's my master who is getting married and has found a beauty like the Princess of Soochow. What else do we care about?"
"But... I don't know who was the unlucky one just now. I came over to say something about the handover and took away all the Soochow officers and soldiers - are we standing guard for nothing now?"
"Ah...is that so? Why don't you let them steal like this if you are too lazy?"
"Hey, stop talking! There's a team of people coming down the street! They seem to be from the other side -"
Of course, Liu Bei's soldiers outside the door were bored and chatting without a word. No one thought of reporting the strange things on the street to the house. To be honest, they did not have this obligation, but who is called Miracle?
Was it finally formed after repeated accidents?
A group of people came to the street. Some of them wore hoods and hid their faces. However, most of the guards around Liu Bei were familiar with the person leading the group, so they dared to conclude that he was Sun Quan's person.
"It turns out to be Mr. Lu! Everything has started inside! You should go in quickly!"
Lu Xun bowed his hands to Liu Bei's guards who came forward to show respect, without much arrogance, which made Liu Bei's guards quite happy - although they had some troubles with the Soochow people, this was a problem from the beginning.
When Mr. Lu Xun and Mr. Lu were entertaining them, basically everyone was kind to him.
Without saying anything else, Lu Xun bypassed the guards and led a few people into Qingluan Pavilion. At this moment, in Qingluan Pavilion, the wedding had already reached the stage of "three kneels, nine kowtows, and six bows".
Already.
It is also commonly known as worshiping heaven and earth, etc.
