Chapter 53 Sun Quan wants to use the five counties in the north of the Yangtze River as a 'dowry' to take the opportunity to alienate the monarchs of Cao and Wei!

 As for Sun Quan, although he and Prime Minister Zhu Zheng had made peace with Cao Wei in Xiyuan, they had not yet discussed the specific candidates to go to Jingzhou to make peace and send "dowries" to the five counties.

Sun Quan and his son-in-law and prime minister Zhu Ju had already discussed a cup of tea under the shade of a tree. Before coming, Zhu Ju originally wanted to listen to his wife Sun Luyu's wishes.

I persuade your Majesty and father-in-law to bring back my sister Sun Luban even if it costs a lot. After all, it is not a big deal that the eldest princess, one of His Majesty’s most beloved princesses, was kidnapped by Cao Wei like this. If the world knows about it, Your Majesty

He and Soochow’s face is also not good.

At this time, Zhu Ju also remembered his wife's instructions. After all, he didn't want his wife to complain about him when he returned home. Why didn't he persuade his father to bring his sister back?

I wanted to give some more advice, so I said: "Your Majesty, the eldest princess is the apple of your eye. You can't just leave her to Cao Cao. This will harm the dignity of Soochow. You should put the eldest princess and the consort in the same place."

It’s up to me to redeem myself and reunite with you every week!”

Sun Quan thought for a while and then said: "How does Xiaohu view this matter?"

Zhu Ju said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the little princess also wants to bring the eldest princess and her husband back. After all, Zhou Xun is also a bit of the flesh and blood of the former governor.

Governor Zhou has made great achievements in starting a business and maintaining our business in Soochow, we cannot let them fall into the hands of Cao thieves like this!"

Sun Quan said with some embarrassment: "I also want to bring the big tiger back, but please tell me, if I can bring the big tiger back like this,

I, Xiaohu and you can reunite with him, but the five counties north of the Soochow River are not so easy to deal with.

If we don't fight, we will make peace. No matter whether we win or lose, the world will say that I, Soochow, have backbone, but it will benefit the Shu Han fisherman. But if it is peace, how can I be weak and bully my Soochow dignity?

In order to prevent anyone from saying that I, Soochow, are weak and can be bullied, they have no choice but to marry Dahu to Cao Shuang, and give the five counties in Jiangbei that they have already obtained as Dahu's "dowry" to Cao Shuang.

Only in this way can we save the dignity of Soochow and make the monarchs and ministers of Cao Wei jealous and alienated. It is best to allow the monarchs and ministers of Cao Wei to fight so that we in Soochow can counterattack the five counties in Jiangbei in the future!"

Zhu Judao: "Your Majesty, the eldest princess is your own flesh and blood, can you bear to have her continue to be with you alone in Jiangbei..."

Sun Quan waved his hand and said: "Zifan, you don't have to say anymore. I have made up my mind to put national affairs first in everything. How can I destroy the inheritance passed down by my father and brother in Jiangdong just because of Da Hu?"

I have pampered her for so many years, and it is time for her to make some contributions to Jiangdong. I believe Dahu will understand my painstaking efforts.

As for that boy Zhou Xun, let’s take advantage of the “dowry” opportunity to redeem him, so that I can be considered worthy of Gong Jin’s spirit in heaven!”

Zhu Ju said worriedly: "Your Majesty married the eldest princess to Cao Shuang, so it will be difficult for Zhou Xun to explain."

Sun Quan thought for a while and said: "Then let him make peace with Dahu, and say it is my will when he sends people there!"

Zhu Ju sighed and said, "Oh, that's all we can do. It's just a pain for my brother-in-law. Your Majesty doesn't know who should be sent to send the "dowry" to the eldest princess this time."

Sun Quan smiled and asked: "Who do you think Zifan should send?"

Zhu Ju thought for a moment and said: "I can think of one person, Zhonglang He Shao and He Xingbo. In addition, let the school captain Ding Feng accompany him. Let him serve the crime and perform meritorious service, which can also protect He Xingbo."

Sun Quan said: "Let's do it like this, as soon as possible. It's already the end of June and it's almost July. So I asked He Xingbo to go to Jingzhou in early July and prepare ten fine South China Sea Night Pearls.

We will bring some gold and silver jewelry together as a dowry for Dahu. Anyway, we have already given them to the five counties in Jiangbei, so we don’t care about this "dowry" anymore. I just hope that he can be nice to Dahu.

Sun Quan thought for a while and said with a bad smile: "I will write another letter to my son-in-law, and then add more fuel to the relationship between the monarch and the ministers of Cao Wei!"

Pan Shu sat next to Sun Quan and said with a smile: "I will grind my body for Your Majesty. He Ding, ask someone to move the ice cubes and fruits on the table and bring me bamboo slips.

By the way, the prince-in-law has been talking to His Majesty for so long, so he must be thirsty. Someone, come here, give the prince-in-law a bowl of lychee soup."

Zhu Ju took the soup bowl, drank it all in one gulp, and said with a smile: "Thank you, empress!"

Sun Quan wrote a secret letter to Cao Shuang,

"My dear son-in-law, Zhao Bo, forgive me for being too old and frail, and busy with important military and political matters in Soochow, to be unable to come in person to witness the marriage ceremony between Dahu and you. I can only send a highly respected envoy to celebrate you."

,

I also asked people to bring some gifts and dowries for you and Dahu, and the land of the five counties in the north of the Yangtze River was given to you as a dowry for Dahu. I hope you and Dahu will like it, and you should treat Dahu well.

Don't be rude to her, or don't blame my troops for coming to Jiangbei again! If you and Dahu and your wife don't have a happy life in Jiangbei,

You can also come to Jiangdong, and I will make Uncle Zhao one person below him and above ten thousand people, and he will be given the title of governor and prime minister! After a hundred years, I will allow you to inherit the throne of Jiangdong!"

Then Sun Quan asked his chamberlain He Ding to get the seal of Lord Wu, put it on the seal of Lord Wu, blow it dry and hand it to Zhu Ju. Zhu Ju looked at it and said in surprise: "Your Majesty wants to give the positions of Governor and Prime Minister to him."

Cao Shuang?

Would you like to pass it on to him a hundred years later? This is absolutely impossible. Your Majesty, I can give him the position of prime minister, and give him the position of governor again.

But the throne of Soochow can never be passed on to him. How can the Sun family's Jiangdong foundation be handed over to an outsider, and this person is still a Cao thief!"

Sun Quan stroked his purple beard and said with a slightly treacherous smile: "How could I really hand over Jiangdong's foundation to Cao Shuang? This is just a wedding "gift" from me to this cheap son-in-law.

Let the little emperor be more suspicious of Cao Zhaobo. Of course, it would be better if the two parties can fight!"

Zhu Ju smiled and cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty's ingenuity, I am really ashamed of myself!"

Sun Quan smiled and took the tea cup from Pan Shu's hand, took a sip and said: "I don't dare to take credit. This is all thanks to my beloved concubine Zhuge. Zifan must look after Ziming for me in the future!"



Sun Quan then pointed at Sun Liang who was playing aside and said, Zhu Ju thought to himself that the amount of information was quite large. Could it be that His Majesty wants to make His Highness Sun Liang the crown prince?

At this time, the crown prince of Soochow has been replaced by another, and now it is the second one. The position of the crown prince of Soochow is also a high-risk position like the position of the governor of Soochow.

At this time, the crown prince of Eastern Wu was Sun He, the third son of Sun Quan, the great emperor of Wu. His mother-in-law (Queen Dayi) was one of Sun Quan’s favorite sons. In the third year of the Zhengshi period of Cao Wei (242), Sun He, the former crown prince,

After Deng's death, he was established as the crown prince.

Sun Deng was the first prince of Soochow. From the 26th year of Jian'an (221), when Sun Quan proclaimed himself a minister to Cao Wei and was named King of Wu, Sun Quan made Sun Deng the crown prince and appointed a master for Sun Deng.

, choosing outstanding scholars as his guests.

Sun Quan appointed Zhuge Ke, the son of Zhuge Jin, the governor of Nanjun, Zhang Xiu, the son of Suiyuan general Zhang Zhao, Gu Tan, the grandson of the prime minister Gu Yong, and Chen Biao, the son of the partial general Chen Wu, to enter the palace.

He lectured on poetry and calligraphy to Sun Deng and followed him on horseback and hunted. Cheng Bing and Zhang Wen successively became the crown prince and tutor.

In the third year of Taihe in Cao Wei (229), Sun Quan became emperor and made Sun Deng the crown prince.

Sun Deng ordered one of his attendants, Hu Zong, to be named as the guest, naming Zhuge Ke as the Zuo Fu Commander, Zhang Xiu as the Right Bi Commander, Gu Tan as the Fu Zheng Commander, and Chen Biao as the Yizheng Commander, and they were called the "Four Friends".<

/p>

Xie Jing, Fan Shen, Diao Xuan, Yang Di, etc. were all guests, so the East Palace was known to be filled with famous people.

Sun Deng also advised Sun Quan many times and had many opinions on current affairs. When he was guarding Wuchang, he handled government affairs cautiously and appropriately. After the sixth year of Taihe (232 years), he still lived in Jianye.

In May of the second year of Zhengshi (241), Sun Deng passed away at the age of thirty-three.

Sun Quan was shocked and saddened when he learned that his grief could not be suppressed. The edict mentioned: "The country mourns the death of its direct descendant, how blessed are the people!", and his posthumous title was Prince Xuan.

This Sun Deng is also miserable. He has been the prince for twenty years, but he has not been able to become a full-time official. His old son Sun Quan died before he could survive...
