Mrs. Wu was silent. It must be said that Sun Kuang's words still touched Mrs. Wu very much, not only because of Sun Kuang's fear of his brother Sun Quan, but also because of the current atmosphere of the entire Sun family.
Although the Sun family was surrounded by foreign enemies, jealous of emperors above, and plotted by political enemies below, within the Sun family, it was a loving mother and a filial son, and the brothers and sisters got along so harmoniously that it seemed as if they were not a big family at all.
But what about now? The brothers went their separate ways, the daughter rebelled and left home, and there were internal intrigues. Perhaps her power had reached an unprecedented peak, but Mrs. Wu was really tired inside. Especially after Sun Shangxiang left home, Mrs. Wu was so lonely that she didn't even have anyone to talk to. Sun Kuang, the only one who was still around, was Mrs. Wu's last comfort.
"Your second brother is not as scary as you think. If you don't believe me, I just want to give him a try this time. Don't worry, if anything goes wrong, I will take care of it for you! Kuang'er, you don't have to worry!" Mrs. Wu insisted .
Sun Kuang smiled bitterly and shook his head. Unexpectedly, he persuaded his mother instead.
"Mom, I really have nothing. There is no need for you to get yourself into trouble for me. I know that the second brother is also your child, but people will change." Sun Kuang said, seeing what Mrs. Wu wanted to say, Sun Kuang Kuang rushed to say, "Mom! If you are really good for me, then listen to me. You are my last resort. If you want Kuang'er to be safe, you must first ensure the stability of your own position!"

Xuzhou,
"My lord, Cao Cao has sent an envoy."
"Oh? What do you say?" Sun Quan asked.
"The incident in Hefei and Guangling is purely a misunderstanding. Cao Cao received a secret report that the governors of the two places wanted to rebel and establish themselves. When the matter was urgent, there was no time to inform them, so they had to send troops to quell the rebellion first." The soldier conveyed.
"Ha!" Sun Quan couldn't help but laugh, "In terms of thick skin, I can't compare to Cao Cao. Who is the envoy sent by Cao Cao? Doesn't this person have a grudge against Cao Cao?"
"It's a woman."
"Woman?" Sun Quan tilted his head, a little surprised.
"Hey, it's a beauty trap. Why, you are suddenly reluctant to kill?" Dou Yuru said from nowhere.
"The two countries are at war, and Bu Zhan is here as an envoy. I'm just curious as to which woman has the guts to be this envoy." Sun Quan said.
"No need to guess, Cao Cao is somewhat sincere this time. Unfortunately, this beauty has no chance to meet you Sun Quan." Dou Yuru said with a smile. Obviously, she already knew about this when she came.
Sun Quan's eyes flashed, and he secretly used the "Let me think twice" skill once. Dou Yuru, this woman, would really go to heaven if she didn't hit her occasionally.
After a second of reality,
"You don't have to lie, she's Cao Ren's daughter. Cao Cao is here to get married this time." Sun Quan said. As for the marriage partner, it was naturally Sun Kuang who had talked about it several times in the past.
It's just that at that time, Cao Cao was strong and wanted Sun Kuang to be a hostage, but now it's the other way around. Cao Cao took the initiative to send the bride over. This is an almost flattering low gesture, and if it was given to Sun Quan's woman, then Sun Quan would be able to handle it easily, but Cao Cao was very smart. This woman was given to Sun Quan's younger brother, Sun Kuang, and Sun Quan would have a hard time getting rid of her.
So just accept it? But in this case, wouldn't it be equivalent to Sun Quan accepting Cao Cao's apology? Although there is no need to show mercy when the two armies are fighting, it would be morally unreasonable for Sun Quan to send troops again in the future.
"You kid, you are still as terrifyingly shrewd as ever." Dou Yuru put away the smile on her face. To be honest, it's no wonder that Sun Kuang is afraid of Sun Quan. You are so smart that you know everything and can't hide anything from you. Who is not afraid of you?
"Cao Cao has capable people, and this diplomatic method is really good. Now that the people are here, let's send them back to Jiangdong and leave it to my mother to make arrangements." Sun Quan arranged.
"Didn't you see me last time?" Dou Yuru asked.
"What's there to see? After all, she's a poor woman, so don't embarrass her. In contrast." Sun Quan looked at Dou Yuru, "I'm afraid you didn't come here suddenly to talk about this, right?"
Dou Yuru narrowed her eyes.
"As expected, I can't hide anything from you. There have been some very interesting rumors outside recently."
Sun Quan: "Speak directly."
Dou Yuru: "It is said that the strength of the great Han Dynasty has been exhausted, and Emperor Xian should abdicate in favor of someone more worthy. You, Sun Zhongmou, are the new master of the world!"
"Praise for killing." Sun Quan chuckled in a low voice. Although he already knew this in the fantasy of Sansi just now, Sun Quan couldn't help but ask again, "Who spread this rumor?"
"It's unclear who spread the word, but according to the investigation by my subordinates, one thing is certain - it arose within Jiangdong." Dou Yuru replied, this is the most interesting part. Normally, this should be one of the enemies. After all, Yuan Shu's mistakes are still fresh in his mind, but various clues show that this rumor originated from within Jiangdong.
If Dou Yuru can check some things, others can naturally check them, and unexpected developments will soon occur because the nature of the whole thing is different!
There is no shortage of smart people in Jiangdong. If it is the enemy's plan to disrupt the situation, then everyone can unanimously tell the outside world and the rumors can be put to rest quickly. But there is no shortage of "smart people" in Jiangdong. This time the rumors come from within Jiangdong. These smart people can't help but wonder: Could this be what Sun Quan meant?
Sun Quan couldn't wait and wanted to replace him? !
At this time, Sun Quan was not in Jiangdong. When rumors arose, he could not deny them immediately. Of course, precisely because of this, people are even more suspicious of whether Sun Quan deliberately stayed away from Jiangdong. Thus, there was a ground for the incident to spread further.
If there are smart people, there will naturally be impulsive people who can "guess what's best for them". At this time, it's time for them to take the initiative to stand up.
By mistake, with the acquiescence of Zhou Yu, who pretended to be confused, a letter requesting Emperor Xian to confer Sun Quan as King of Wu was delivered to Emperor Xian in the new palace of Jianye.
People with different surnames cannot be crowned kings, this is the ancestral teaching! This move is tantamount to putting a knife on Emperor Xian's neck. It depends on when Sun Quan is willing to take a step further!
"Yuan Shao is dead, and the situation in the world is almost clear. In my opinion, you might as well just go with the flow. The emperor of the Han Dynasty is no longer important." Dou Yuru took the opportunity to say.
"What you say makes it difficult for me not to doubt whether this rumor was spread by your demon sect." Sun Quan said. Sun Quan may not care about the imperial power, but together with this matter, he will definitely fall out with Cihang Jingzhai, and Outsiders don't know that this is more about Sun Quan's commitment to a person.
"Don't accuse me wrongly. If I am so smart, I will still be used by you in everything?" Dou Yuru shook her head and said, what she said was true.
This era is not the Internet era, and rumors cannot be formed suddenly in a day or two. Someone is plotting it secretly, and it is likely that the plot had already started when Sun Quan secretly ran to the north to assassinate Yuan Shao!
Who is behind the scenes is important. But the top priority, and more importantly for Sun Quan, is how to deal with this matter.
You don't need to think about Sun Quan to know Emperor Xian's suspicion. Once bitten by a snake, he was afraid of well ropes for ten years. Emperor Xian did not have that much trust in Sun Quan. This is just one of them. Secondly, now, Jiangdong has been divided into two opposing factions because of this incident. Those who support Sun Quan becoming king, and those who oppose Sun Quan becoming king, everyone is waiting for Sun Quan's reply, waiting for Sun Quan to reward them and punish the other party.
