Chapter 546 Sun Quan proclaims emperor

In Chang'an, Liu Bei's funeral was not luxurious, but he was buried according to the etiquette of emperors. In order to avoid tomb robbers in later generations, Liu Yi specially set up a large number of mechanism traps and some negative attributes in the tombs. Some people invaded them, and perhaps they were killed by various bad luck without even triggering the trap.

"Boyuan." Zhang Fei and Liu Yi stood outside Liu Bei's tomb, looked at the statue of their brother, and suddenly turned their heads and asked, "I heard you want to build a temple for your elder brother?"

"Of course I need to stand." Liu Yi nodded and said.

"Then after I die, can I enshrine my second brother and I, behind my elder brother?" Zhang Fei asked.

"Why do you say such unlucky words?" Liu Yi frowned. After Liu Bei's death, both Guan Yu and Zhang Fei seemed to have suddenly lost their energy. This is not a good thing.

"Does people... always die?" Zhang Fei looked at his brother's statue and suddenly grinned: "If there is really another world after his death, I want to continue to follow his brother."

Although he was laughing, Liu Yi was feeling a little depressed. Just as he was about to say something, Zhuge Qiao walked over quickly and bowed to the two of them and said, "General Cavalry, Sikong, Prime Minister invites you to the Prime Minister's Mansion to discuss important matters."

"What happened?" Liu Yi nodded, and it was hard to get rid of Zhang Fei anymore. He pulled Zhang Fei to run to the prime minister's mansion and asked.

"Just just now, an envoy from Wu State came to report that the Lord of Wu, Sun Quan, was appointed as the emperor and changed the reign of Huanglong to inform the world!" Zhuge Qiao bowed and said.

Liu Yi raised his eyebrows when he heard this, turned his head to look at Zhang Fei, but saw Zhang Fei remained silent.

If this were Zhang Fei in the past, he would have long jumped to curse people, but now, Zhang Fei is speechless and seems to have no concern. Liu Yi even hopes that Zhang Fei can jumped to curse people now.

"Let's go." Liu Yi sighed in his heart. Zhang Fei and Guan Yu were holding a sense of depression in his heart. This depression was not the kind of external, but because of Liu Bei's death, it was born internally and suppressed his nature. It was probably because he had no desire for life and it was difficult for them to be interested in everything in the world.

In the Left Prime Minister's Mansion, Pang Tong, Guan Yu, Huang Quan, Liu Ba, Li Yan, Dong He and other important officials in the court have arrived. Zhuge Liang sat in the prime minister and did not feel much anxious. Sun Quan was somewhat mentally prepared to be emperor, but it would be a bit subtle for the other party to choose to be emperor at this point in time.

Zhang Fei went straight to Guan Yu's side, Liu Yi and Pang Tong's table, and the rest sat down in turn according to their status.

"Everyone is here." Zhuge Liang and Liu Yi nodded, with a little haggard expression. During these days, Liu Yi was busy, and he was not relaxed. The comfort of all parties, especially Shu and Jingxiang, who had just obtained Guanzhong, and the Heluo land also needed more comfort. Liu Chan was not very involved in the matter, and even if he was in charge, Zhuge Liang would not be relieved.

"I wonder what you think about Sun Quan's proclaimed emperor?" Zhuge Liang looked at the ministers and asked.

The relationship between Jiangdong and Han has been very complicated and is an ally, but they have never had many plans behind their backs. Everyone knows this, and is frightened by the pressure of the Han Dynasty, maintaining the alliance between the two sides and being able to buy excellent equipment from the Han Dynasty. Therefore, Sun Quan has always been a man with his tail between his tail and has not been praised for his emperors. Although he has not been surrendered, in the past few years, people have subtly regarded Jiangdong as their own dependent state. Now that the dependent state wants to make independence, everyone feels a little unhappy and even betrayed.

"Prime Minister." Dong He stood up and bowed, "There is not long since the late emperor passed away, and the domestic situation is turbulent. At this time, I think we should not rashly engage in evil with the Eastern Wu, so as not to cause the Eastern Wu and Cao Wei to join forces with our great Han."

Huang Quan said, "After that being said, I am very worried about whether the Eastern Wu and Cao Wei still have a connection or a secret alliance. Recently, animals have suddenly increased the number of weapons purchased, so we must be careful."

For the Han Dynasty, Sun Quan's proclaiming emperor was undoubtedly a kind of usurpation and betrayal. After all, before that, even if Sun Quan seizures the country, he was nominally a Han minister. However, although there is no explicit statement, it is equivalent to breaking this relationship. Sun Quan could not have thought of this.

Zhuge Liang nodded gently and joined Wu to fight against Cao. This was the strategy that Zhuge Liang had for Liu Bei when he was in office. What Longzhong said at the beginning has been basically realized. He has obtained Jingzhou and Shuzhong. He also took advantage of Cao Pi's death to conquer Guanzhong and Luoyang. The strategy of Longzhong has been basically realized. Next is the Three Kingdoms Triumph. The original strategy has actually lost much significance now. After destroying Cao Wei, he will definitely pacify Jiangdong. Sun Quan must also know this, so it is definitely beneficial to join Wu to fight against Cao Cao. But it is difficult to do this now. Sun Quan must have his own set of strategies to check and balance the development of the two families.

At this time, he was promoted to the emperor but did not rebel against the Han Dynasty. He even sent envoys to test the Han Dynasty's reaction, but it might also be that he had reached an agreement with Cao Wei.

If it were the latter, the problem would be great, but the bad thing is that after Zhuge Liang calculated it himself, he felt that the latter was more likely. Now he summoned a group of ministers to come over and wanted to hear their ideas and opinions.

With his eyes on Pang Tong and Liu Yi, Zhuge Liang asked, "Shi Yuan and Bo Yuan, I wonder what you think?"

Pang Tong groped his chin and said, "It is indeed not easy to get into Jiangdong at the moment, but the other party suddenly increased the purchase of weapons... Not to mention whether they use so much, can the financial resources of Dongwu support it?"

"Shi Yuan means..."

"I'm worried that this batch was probably bought for Cao Wei." Pang Tong closed his eyes and thought: "It's not surprising that Cao Wei and Jiangdong will join forces to attack. Of course, it's not easy to get along with him first. You can send someone to Jiangdong to congratulate him. However, the matter of weapons and equipment can be a matter of our army to fight against Qiang and Hu recently, and the army's reserves are insufficient. If you slow down, what's the truth, you will surface."

Now that the Eastern Wu is secretly thinking about dealing with the big man, don’t say that the resources doubled, it’s still impossible. That’s the enemy, maybe it’s still a two-person investment.

Such an approach will have some impact on the Han Dynasty. Part of the funds developed by the Han Dynasty over the years are the internal capital flows and wealth generated by the Han Dynasty, but a large part of them are obtained through the trade of weapons with the Eastern Wu. Now that the transaction is broken, the Eastern Wu certainly cannot obtain advanced weapons, the Han Dynasty will also lose a large amount of development funds.

Liu Yi now understands the mentality of those who are going to war between the two countries, but are still willing to take risks to do business with outsiders. Others may not be clear about it, but as the actual controller of Tiangongfang and Shaofu, the losses this year, if they are converted into coins, will be 200 to 300 million!

Today's military trade is in the hands of Liu Yi alone. If this right is dispersed, Pang Tong's proposal may be dissatisfied and opposed by many people.

After thinking about it, Liu Yi smiled and said, "In addition, the trade deals with Jiangdong can be reduced appropriately."

"Why is this?" Dong He frowned.

"The current trade status between our dynasty and the Eastern Wu is like this. Our dynasty bought some raw materials such as silk, copper, iron, and salt from the Eastern Wu at a low price, and then went to our dynasty to process them into weapons or cloth, clothes and even various exquisite finished products and sold them back at high prices. It seems that the Eastern Wu was at a disadvantage. But in fact, the coarse salt of the Eastern Wu can be made into fine salt on our dynasty, but they can't make them themselves. Their silk can be made into exquisite and durable clothes in our dynasty, and even some defense. However, the Eastern Wu cannot make them by themselves. On the raw materials, I also have production and are self-sufficient enough. Therefore, the Eastern Wu relies more on our dynasty. If they lose their trade with our dynasty, their economy, living standards and even military engineering will be regressed for ten years. If our army loses the Eastern Wu, we can find Qiang people, the Huns, and the Western Regions to make transactions, and even earn more benefits."

"I have always thought before that my dynasty cannot place all the raw materials on the Eastern Wu. Now that Guanzhong and Xiliang have fallen, the Silk Road is in the hands of our dynasty. If this road is well managed, it will be enough to give our dynasty a higher profit. Sun Quan is now the emperor. Although there are reasons for our dynasty's death due to the death of the late emperor, I think there are also reasons why Sun Quan failed to recognize the facts and it is necessary to make him awake."

Liu Yi had already begun to plan to open up the road between Xiliang and the Western Regions, and even built a wooden track to speed up trade between the two sides without having to limit his attention to the country. Since Sun Quan did not understand his status and played such small moves with them, he should congratulate him or her. He should still have to make friends with him or her, but he should also let the other party understand his own weight. He should not intervene in the confrontation between Cao Wei and the Han Dynasty. The situation of three-pointer in the world must be broken, otherwise unification will be more difficult. The land of Jiangdong is obviously not as tempting as the Central Plains at the moment, but he cannot let them make trouble in old age.

"Wonderful!" Pang Tong smiled and said, "Shocking Jiangdong, this method is the best way to shock Jiangdong. After all, there is still an ally there. The Han Dynasty is now strong, so he naturally pays more attention to his shame. If Sun Quan does not take the initiative to tear the covenant, they will not be this villain.

"Okay, so as you are here, I will advise Your Majesty in the court tomorrow. There is another thing in addition to this!" Zhuge Liang took out a piece of bamboo paper and handed it to everyone through time, and his expression was a little gloomy: "I have received information recently. Wei general Xu Huang gathered heavy troops in Hanoi and Puyang, but this matter needs to be discussed with you."

Xu Huang, probably the only famous general left by Cao Wei. When Xu Huang moved, does this mean that Cao Wei was preparing to take advantage of the turbulent air within the Han Dynasty and attack the Han Dynasty?
