Although he was having a great time with Sun Quan drinking with him these days, he still had to do business after all.
It must be said that this matter must be attributed to the painter who painted Sun Shangxiang's portrait at that time. If it weren't for him and without that painting, how could Liu Bei have been thinking about his "Princess Xiangxiang" for so long?
After hearing Sun Quan say that Sun Shangxiang could get married tomorrow and making himself ready, Liu Bei finally turned down all the banquets - he had been in Jiangdong for so long, anyone with a discerning eye could see that Sun Quan and others wanted to curry favor with him, so...
Even though Sun Quan stayed with Liu Bei most of the time every day.
At night, Liu Bei still had to go to various places to interact with various "big shots" in Jiangdong who wanted to make friends with him.
No wonder Sun Quan was able to hold off Liu Bei without mentioning Sun Shangxiang.
But...after all the detours, the day has finally arrived.
The one-day preparation time was somewhat rushed, which indeed caused some people to be quite puzzled.
They didn't understand why Sun Quan was in such a hurry. Since Sun Shangxiang had come to Jianye, it wouldn't be a big problem to prepare for two more days.
But how could these people understand what Sun Quan was worried about?
"Zijing... what the civil and military officials said today... said that the marriage was rushed and should be discussed at another day. What do you think?"
In the general's mansion, above the high pavilion, Sun Quan was leaning on the railing, and behind him was Lu Su, who had just returned to Jianye not long ago.
Lu Su thought for a moment, twirled his beard, then bowed slightly and said respectfully:
"Personally I think... the eldest lady just arrived in Jianye one day, and holding the wedding the next day is really a bit hasty."
Hearing this, Sun Quan frowned slightly, but he did not refute Lu Su, and Lu Su continued:
"Based on different opinions, the court is roughly divided into two factions. One faction believes that the person in charge of the matter, the Governor, has not arrived in Jianye yet, and at least the marriage cannot proceed until the Governor returns -"
"The other faction was belatedly aware of it. Because they only learned about our decision to marry not long ago, they temporarily decided to oppose the group of ministers..."
Sun Quan nodded. Lu Su's analysis was basically to the point. Although the court was noisy today, there were actually only two groups arguing with more obvious viewpoints.
More importantly, those who have no idea why, Sun Quan himself announced the engagement yesterday, is actually the first official announcement of the marriage between Liu Bei and Sun Shangxiang. In addition to officials from aristocratic families, as well as officials on the side of Zhou Yu and Sun Quan,
In addition, the remaining people in the DPRK basically have no ability, no means, no means, and can only stick together for warmth. Obtaining intelligence is even more problematic - they have no chance to know what the senior officials are doing.
decided.
"but…"
Although he named the current chaotic situation in the court, Lu Su obviously had deeper, or rather... closer considerations to Sun Quan's situation.
After all... this matter was discussed by him, Sun Quan and Zhou Yu.
"My lord's actions are not unreasonable."
"Especially after knowing the chaotic situation in Wu County, it would be a wiser choice to deal with the engagement as soon as possible -"
Having said that, Lu Su stepped back slightly, not only to leave space between the two of them, but also to express his respect and obedience.
"Haha... Zijing, Zijing... you are like a worm in my belly. You can understand whatever I think..."
"Hey... if Gong Jin can calm down his energy, our situation will be better now, right?"
When Sun Quan revealed his true feelings, it didn't mean that he was belittling Zhou Yu. His relationship with Zhou Yu would never change much because of one or two complaints - it's just that... the facts were just as he said, because Zhou Yu was so unstoppable that he could not be denied.
In fact, due to their actions or momentum, they also personally destroyed the relationships of many people who might have become their allies.
For example, Yu Fan...
After Sun Quan thought about Yu Fan, he was still a little tangled in his heart... He understood Yu Fan's loyalty to him, and he also knew that Zhang Zhao was the one who really wanted to plot evil against his position as lord, but... there was no way, since he had nothing to do with the aristocratic family.
The decision to break up has been made, so he has no intention of turning back - he would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let one go. This determination is indispensable in order to fundamentally change the atmosphere of intrigue between the government and the opposition.
"My lord, what are you saying... The Governor's thunderous tactics are something that no one else can learn even if they want to. If the lord wants to maintain his success, Su can naturally help him go smoothly... But if he wants to plot the world, this person must be the Governor."
"Zijing...you are the biggest headache in this place. You and Gongjin are both my confidants. I know very well what you are good at. In my opinion, there is no distinction between you. Each has its own advantages.
——From now on, please don’t belittle yourself, otherwise I will be unhappy!”
Lu Su was speechless for a long time, and finally just smiled helplessly and agreed.
——
In fact, Lu Su had another reason that he didn't explain clearly... He, Sun Quan, and even Zhou Yu, who was not in Jianye now, knew very well why they had to deal with the marriage in such a hurry.
Lu Qinghou…
This man, Sun Quan, heard rumors about him no less than a hundred times just by sitting in his mansion.
They knew nothing about this person before, except that he had helped Sun Shangxiang escape when he was in Yixian County, and even used the local Shanyue to cause a devastating blow to the armies led by Pan Zhang and Zhou Tai.
but…
After so long, after Zhou Yu and Sun Quan issued orders, the name Lu Qinghou finally surfaced.
A very detailed and smooth timeline, starting from Wuchang——
It can only be said that Sun Quan and Zhou Yu control the military power of the entire Jiangdong - as long as they use the right method and calm down, they can find out any information they want to find.
Originally, Sun Quan only thought that the man Lu Qinghou was, as he said, a businessman from out of town...
But from a macro perspective, after raising his horizons and through various fragmentary information, even Sun Quan could see what kind of life this man named Lu Qinghou... who may now be named Zhantang has gone through.
Field journey…
Counting from the time he appeared until now, for a full half a year... what exactly did this man do on the land of Jiangdong is something that makes Sun Quan extremely scared when he thinks about it.
merchant?
Just kidding... How could a mere businessman be so forbearing, how could he have such means, how could he be so tireless in running around Jiangdong - except for his more active business activities in the past two months... In the remaining time, even if he
It would not be surprising to Sun Quan that he wanted to destroy the foundation of Jiangdong's rule.
But now, Sun Shangxiang was arrested, and Marquis Lu Qing was nowhere to be found... Sun Quan just wanted to get the final word as soon as possible, without giving this person any room to make excuses.
But if you tell me something like this...who would believe it?
