On the one hand, Sun Shangxiang returned to Jiangdong to sacrifice her mother, and on the other hand, she also wanted to appease Jiangdong. She has a high prestige among the military and civilians of Jiangdong. People still miss the reckless, chivalrous and cute Princess Jiangdong back then.

In the yamen of Danyang County, Yu Ming of Jiangdong's senior military officials gathered together to visit Princess Shangxiang. In the past, Sun Shangxiang did not have such a high political status, but with the destruction of Jiangdong, everyone was restless and confused about the future. Sun Shangxiang was both the Princess of Jiangdong and the second concubine of the Han Dynasty. Invisibly, she became a communication bridge between Liu Jing and Jiangdong officials.

The senior officials of Jiangdongwu trusted her and could accept her emotionally. The lobby was silent, and countless eyes were silently staring at Princess Shangxiang who had gradually matured.

"Jiangdong has ended. As the daughter of Wucheng Hou and the sister of General Bo Fu, I feel very uncomfortable and disappointed. After all, this is the foundation founded by the father and brother's blood and sweat. It ended quietly. I can't accept it emotionally, but like everyone else, I have to face reality."

Sun Shangxiang's voice choked, tears rolled down his face, and many Jiangdong generals couldn't help but turn their faces to wipe their tears secretly. The officials were also sad. Sun Shangxiang wiped away the tears with a handkerchief and said slowly: "At the beginning of the year, I received a letter from my brother. In the letter, my brother begged me to persuade the King of Han and let Jiangdong go. I was also very angry and anxious for this. I didn't know what to do. It was not until I met a young Jiangdong couple in Dong City, Chang'an. They were refugees who fled from Wucheng. After talking to them, I realized that the Jiangdong regime was no longer popular and hated by the people of Jiangdong. I realized that the existence of Jiangdong for one day, and the people would suffer for a day. What is the difference between such a monarch and Dong Zhuo?

I asked myself, is Jiangdong the back garden of the Sun family or the home of the Jiangdong people? As a result, I woke up. How selfish my anger and anxiety were. I just thought about how to protect the Jiangdong regime, but I never considered the life and death of the people in Jiangdong. How many wives were separated and how many people died in the battlefield, just to protect the Sun family's country, a Sun family that was despised by the people, I would rather not!”

Sun Shangxiang's voice was not loud, but it penetrated everyone's heart. Some officials thought deeply, some officials were ashamed of themselves, and more officials sighed secretly, what Princess Shangxiang said was also true.

"The King of Han personally promised me that Sun did not usurp the rebellion, and that Jiangdongwu would continue to be used. In short, I hope everyone remembers that no matter who is in charge of Jiangdong, they need to treat the people of Jiangdong well."

Zhang Zhao secretly praised the side that Lord Shangxiang has indeed made great progress and has become very good at speaking. First, he said that he would treat the Sun family with kindness, which undoubtedly relieved many officials who care about Sun Quan. Next, he said that he would continue to reuse the officials in Jiangdongwu, which even comforted the officials who were worried about the future. Finally, he said that he would treat the people of Jiangdong well, which legalized Liu Jing's rule over Jiangdong, which was what the people wanted.

But Zhang Zhao was more concerned about Jiangdong's status in the Han Dynasty. He asked tentatively: "Princess Shangxiang, should my Jiangdong officials stay in Jiangdong and continue to serve in Chang'an?"

Sun Shangxiang hesitated and said, "The Han King did not tell me the specific details, but said that Jiangdong would restore counties and counties. In other words, there would not be many officials in Jiangdong. I think most officials should be in Beijing or transferred to other places to serve as officials."

Zhang Zhao was a little disappointed. Princess Shangxiang obviously didn't know Liu Jing's formal arrangements. At this time, Sun Shangxiang smiled and said, "Maybe I can ask the King of Han tonight and give you a clear answer tomorrow."

...........

At night, Sun Shangxiang and her husband were far better than newlyweds. When they were in a strong relationship, they felt a loving relationship. Sun Shangxiang gasped. After a long time, she slowly calmed down. She snuggled in Liu Jing's arms. When she remembered what happened during the day, she acted coquettishly and said, "I have done a lot of things for you today. How are you going to repay me?"

Liu Jing kissed her gently on her face and said, "I will continue to work hard to make you pregnant with a baby girl early."

Sun Shangxiang blushed, pinched Liu Jing's arm, and said coquettishly: "You said that I would cater to you like in Lingzhou, but I couldn't get pregnant. Could it be this time?"

"I have a feeling that you can go back to your hometown."

Sun Shangxiang sighed softly. How much she wished she had a lovely daughter. At this moment, she suddenly remembered something and was about to speak, but she remembered that Tao Zhan had told her not to treat her husband. She bit her lips again and finally did not say anything.

"What do you want to say?" Liu Jing asked with a smile when she saw that she wanted to speak.

"nothing!"

Sun Shangxiang shook her head quickly and changed the topic again and said, "I'm thinking, how can I answer them tomorrow?"

Liu Jing naturally knew very well about the meeting between Sun Shangxiang and Jiangdong official. He was very satisfied with Sun Shangxiang's performance. It was indeed much better for her to come forward than for him. The emotions of the people in Jiangdong were basically relieved. The following is to consider how to resettle them and give them certain political benefits, so that they can completely recover Jiangdong.

Liu Jing smiled and said, "I'll talk to a few important figures tomorrow. I'm going to expand the Five Prime Ministers into the Seven Prime Ministers. Zhang Zhao became Prime Minister, Bu Zhi became the Minister of the Yellow Gate, Gu Yong was the Prison of the State Supervisor, and Yu Fan was appointed as the Chief Censor. These are the major officials I have decided on."

Sun Shangxiang nodded silently. She understood her husband's arrangements, which balanced the interests of the various factions in Jiangdong. She pondered for a moment: "Did the county magistrates of Jiangdong come from Chang'an?"

Liu Jing shook his head, "I will send the Censor General to inspect the Censor in Jiangdong, but the guards in Jiangdong should try to use the old ministers in Jiangdong as much as possible. The guards of Danyang were Zhou Bing, and the governors of Wu County were Lu Su, and I want Huang Gai to take office. He has a prestige in Shanyue people and can ensure safety in Kuaiji."

Sun Shangxiang was shocked, "Isn't Kuaiji Shou Sun Shao?"

"Sun Shao is not capable, I will let him inherit the title of Wu Hou and serve as a deputy leader in Yangzhou to safeguard the hearts of the people in Jiangdong."

"What will your husband do to deal with my brother?" Sun Shangxiang asked timidly.

Liu Jing understood his wife's concerns, and he couldn't help but hold her tightly in his arms and said softly: "Now he is temporarily imprisoned, but he is very irritable. I plan to wait until he calms down and give him the title of General Fenwei and let him live in Jiangxia for a long time."

Sun Shangxiang sighed in her heart. She understood what her husband meant, which was to put her brother under house arrest. Although she felt very sad, she also knew that her husband not only saved the Sun family, but also did not exile her brother to the deserted island. This was the most righteous thing for her.

Thinking of this, Sun Shangxiang put his arms around Liu Jing's neck and acted coquettishly at him: "Why did someone say that just now? If you want to double the compensation for me, how can he just not speak?"

Liu Jing laughed, turned over and pressed Sun Shangxiang under him.

............

The next day, Sun Shangxiang met with more than a dozen important officials from Jiangdong in the Danyang County, north of Moling City. If she comforted the Jiangdong official yesterday as Princess Jiangdong, then today she would announce the funeral of Jiangdong on behalf of the Han King as the second concubine of Han.

More than a dozen senior officials sat aside, and everyone was a little nervous. They knew in their hearts that since Princess Shangxiang pointed out that more than a dozen of them were present, it means that their future official positions had been decided.

"I'll explain it first!"

Sun Shangxiang's tone became very light today, with a radiant face, and she looked even more beautiful. Her beautiful eyes were shining with brilliance. She smiled and said, "The first family rule in the Han Palace is that women cannot do politics. My visit to Jiangdong this time is just a special one. I will not be allowed to ask me for any political affairs in the future. However, if there are any difficulties in life, I will try my best to help."

Sun Shangxiang's light tone melted the tense atmosphere in the lobby, and everyone also felt relaxed. Bu Zhi smiled and said, "Our wife will trouble the princess in the future."

Bu Zhi was even more able to speak. Jiangdong no longer exists, so Princess Jiangdong naturally no longer exists. They are facing the second concubine of the Han prince. Sun Shangxiang nodded, "Mr. Bu said it well, don't call me the Princess Jiangdong again in the future. Today, His Highness the King of Han should have met you, but he said there will be opportunities in the future, so I will come forward today and talk to you again."

Speaking of this, Sun Shangxiang turned his eyes to Zhang Zhao and smiled and said, "I want to answer Mr. Zhang's question first. I have asked the King of Han in detail last night, so I can also give Mr. Zhang an answer."

Zhang Zhao bowed and smiled, "I wish to listen to the princess's words."

"The King of Han said that he was going to expand the five majors of the Han Dynasty into seven majors, one of which was given to Jiangdong."

Everyone's hearts suddenly pounded. Liu Jing actually gave the position of prime minister to Jiangdong. It can be seen that he attached great importance to Jiangdong, especially Zhang Zhao, his face was no longer natural. He was the number one minister in Jiangdong. The position of prime minister should belong to him, but it may not be Lu Xun or Sun Shao. After all, Liu Jing may not have forgotten it when he made trouble for Jingzhou many times.

Sun Shangxiang felt that Zhang Zhao was a little unconfident, so she smiled and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Zhang, don't worry, the King of Han has clearly told me that one of the prime ministers is appointed by Mr. Zhang."

Zhang Zhao's nose suddenly felt sour, and his heart was extremely moved. Liu Jing did not hold any grudges. How thoughtful he was. He bowed deeply and said, "Please tell His Highness the King of Han that the old minister will do his best to revive the Han country."

It is expected that Zhang Zhao would become the prime minister, and no one would have any objections. Everyone no longer thought about the other newly added position as prime minister. That would definitely not be given to Jiangdong, but what future would the Han King give them? Everyone was full of expectations.
