At this time, Jiangdong was in chaos everywhere. However, except for a handful of people such as Lujiang Li Shu who chose to stand on their own, and Shan Yue who was ready to make a move, most of the others were internal disputes within the Sun family. These people all agreed to continue to be ruled by the Sun family, but they had differences in the choice of followers.
Sun Hao, as a representative of the young people of Sun Jing's lineage, has never been reused by Sun Ce, so he wants to seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. As for Sun Ben, due to various reasons, he was almost refrigerated by Sun Ce and sent to the most remote Yuzhang area. It can be said that whether it is Sun Hao or Sun Ben, they all have their own intentions and want to fight and change their destiny.
But apart from these two Sun family descendants, there are other Sun family descendants who are passively pushed to the forefront.
Wujun,
In the Sun Mansion, after Sun Ce, Sun Quan, and Mrs. Wu went out one after another, among the direct descendants of the Sun family, the one who made the decision was Sun Yi, who was still almost an adult. Although Sun Yi is young, it is not surprising considering the age of his two older brothers, especially Sun Quan. On the other side, Sun Jian's concubine, Mrs. Ding, was in charge of the family affairs.
At this time, two absolutely high-level officials who can decide the current affairs of the Sun Mansion are getting together.
"Yier, being indecisive is not your usual character." Mrs. Ding said to Sun Yi.
Sun Yi shook his head and said bitterly,
"Er Niang, I still don't want to believe this is true. I heard that Brother Zhou Yuzhou is rushing back to Wu County, so let's wait until he comes back to find out."
"Then what's the use of Zhou Yu's coming back? Even if it's useful, do you want to hand over the military power of the Sun family, and the foundation that your father and your eldest brother have worked so hard to build, into the hands of an outsider?" Mrs. Ding couldn't help but asked rhetorically.
"No matter which way you look at it, the second brother is the one who can make the decision now. Even if Zhou Yu has different intentions, others must obey him." Sun Yi said solemnly.
"But can your second brother come back in time? You don't know the situation in Xuzhou, can he leave? As soon as he leaves, Xuzhou will lose and gain immediately!" Mrs. Ding advised, "Yier, no matter what your second brother can do, You can’t rush back, now is the time for you to do your duty and have to stand up! Otherwise, Jiangdong will be leaderless and chaos will soon arise. If you really wait for Zhou Yu to come back, the initiative will no longer be in the hands of our Sun family! "
"If I suddenly stand up, what will the officials think? What will the second brother think? What will outsiders think?" Sun Yi shouted coldly. Outside, the world is not settled; inside, the bones are not yet cold. As a result, the Sun brothers began to fight for fame and fortune. Are they going to be a joke to outsiders? It’s just a joke for outsiders, but they are afraid that real brothers will fight, which will hurt relatives and make enemies happy, and in the end it will be easier for outsiders!
"Oh, you little guy, why don't you understand at all! Why do outsiders think you have so much control! As for your second brother, just write a letter to him and explain the situation to him. You are brothers, why can't he still trust you? ?" Mrs. Ding said angrily, "If you don't stand up now, when Jiangdong is in chaos and your second brother is homeless, you will see if he will come back and praise you for your general knowledge! Could it be that you still want to do what we did back then? The whole family has become a prisoner and is under house arrest, waiting for your second brother to rescue him?"
Mrs. Ding's words finally reached Sun Yi's heart. Sun Yi was young, energetic, impulsive and irritable, and his ambition was no less than that of Sun Ce. Although he was young at the time, that incident had always been regarded as a shame by Sun Yi, so Sun Yi also particularly yearned for Sun Quan's act of saving people alone. Sun Yi would not allow the same thing to happen again. Even if it did happen, then Sun Yi should be the one who saves people, not the one who is saved!
"There must be no chaos in Jiangdong!" Sun Yi said seriously, but then frowned, "But I have no qualifications, no achievements, and I am still young. Will those ministers be willing to listen to me?"
Hearing this, Mrs. Ding smiled softly, as long as she convinces you,
"Master Zhang Zhaozhang, you came to the house today." Mrs. Ding suddenly said.
"Oh? Why didn't I know this?" Sun Yi was a little surprised.
"Because it is an extraordinary period, Mr. Zhang did not meet with you directly. He hopes to convey his thoughts to you through me." Mrs. Ding said.
Sun Yi was immediately overjoyed.
"Is Mr. Zhang willing to help me? That's great! With Mr. Zhang coming forward, everything will be much easier!"
Zhang Zhao was the representative of the ministers. A nod from Zhang Zhao was equivalent to a nod from the Jiangdong nobles.
"What Mr. Zhang wants to express is not just as simple as helping you." Mrs. Ding said with a pointed smile.
Sun Yi was stunned.
"What is Mr. Zhang's intention?"
Mrs. Ding came closer, pointed at Sun Yi, and whispered,
"Master Zhang, including all the forces behind him, hope that you will succeed your eldest brother!"
Sun Yi was shocked, dumbfounded, shook his head repeatedly and said,
"Impossible! Impossible! No matter in terms of age, status, fame, talent, or even martial arts, he should be my second brother!"
"Your eldest brother is your eldest brother, and your second brother is your second brother. They have been fighting the world separately. Your eldest brother has no heirs, and you are both his younger brothers. Who stipulates that after your eldest brother leaves, your second brother will inherit everything?" Mrs. Ding said, "Besides, this is not what I said randomly, it is what Mr. Zhang and the others meant."
"Why did they choose me, Master Zhang?" Sun Yi still couldn't believe it.
"Because you are the most similar to your eldest brother!" Mrs. Ding looked at Sun Yi and said, "You are the most similar to your eldest brother, and your eldest brother's old subordinates are more likely to accept you. Moreover, you who have no foundation, you are the most likely to rise directly to the position. It's not easy to cause trouble. If it were your second brother, he would definitely promote his cronies. By then, the generals who originally belonged to your eldest brother would probably feel resentful. In addition, and most importantly, Mr. Zhang and the others believe that the only way to do this is to follow Only you who are most like Sun Ce can lead Jiangdong to true glory!"
Of course, this is only part of the reason. For many Jiangdong nobles, they were probably also worried that if Sun Quan came to power, they would have no good fruits in the future. First of all, Sun Quan was excluded, so for now, the only choice is Sun Yi. At least Sun Yi is very similar to Sun Ce. He only thinks about fighting and is not good at political affairs. He seems pretty good.
Seeing that Sun Yi was still hesitating, Mrs. Ding added more fire.
"Yier, I know you are very sensible and think from the perspective of your family, but have you ever thought about yourself? Do you still remember your ambitions?" Mrs. Ding reminded Sun Yi, "You secretly asked me to send you a private message What is the purpose of martial arts? Haven't you always envied your eldest and second brother for achieving dominance at a young age? Now, the opportunity has come! You can show the world that after Lu Bu, you are the new generation of war gods!"
