Chapter 481 Sun Quan Declares Himself Emperor
The Eastern Han Dynasty at this moment
After hearing that the Eastern Han Dynasty had fallen, Liu Xiu remained silent for a long time. Anyone who had personally founded a dynasty would have been full of pride and joy, only to hear that it would end more than a hundred years later!
Abdication? What the hell is abdication? That's usurpation!
Liu Xiu was furious when he thought of this. How could someone be so powerful as to hold the emperor hostage to command the feudal lords?!
At present, the last continuation of the Liu family is the Shu Han dynasty. It's a pity that Liu Bei ultimately failed to restore the Han dynasty.
……
Meanwhile, in the live stream room.
Lin Ke didn't pause for long before continuing, "On the other hand, the Shu brocade project was initiated by Zhuge Liang. It's said that the plan was to use Shu brocade to make money from Cao Wei, and then use Cao Wei's money to fight against Cao Wei!"
"If this is really the case, then who gets the credit?!"
Cao Cao, the boss: Zhuge Liang, you country bumpkin!!!
Sun Quan: This is a brilliant plan!
"In addition, when Zhuge Liang governed Shu, he ruled the country according to law. To quote a line from the Records of the Three Kingdoms: 'Officials could not tolerate corruption, and the people were self-disciplined...'"
"Therefore, there are reasons why Shu Han, a province, was able to survive for decades in the midst of chaos."
"Let's take a look at the other two countries. Sun Quan and Cao Wei fought after Liu Bei's death, but it ended with Cao Pi's retreat to the north."
"This year was 225 AD. Cao Pi died the following year. It's unexpected that Cao Pi, who belonged to the next generation, would go to see his father so soon!"
"However, during this time you will find that no matter how strong you are or how many talented people you have, the most important thing is that you have to live a long life. You can outlive several people to death!"
People from different time periods watching this moment: ...
Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Sun Quan, and others, however, had furrowed brows. If we were to follow the logic of later generations, how could this world be one where: whoever lives the longest is right?!
Even if someone usurps the throne, they must have some real strength. It's absurd to think they can just outlast someone!
……
"After Cao Pi died, his son Cao Rui ascended the throne, becoming Emperor Ming of Wei."
"After less than two years of peace, Cao Cao and Sun Quan fought several battles, especially the Battle of Shiting, in which the Wu army, under Lu Xun's command, defeated Cao Cao's army."
"At this stage, Sun Quan probably feels the time is right. He doesn't want to be the second-in-command of Wu anymore; he wants to take charge for once: it's time to declare himself emperor!!"
"Therefore, in 229 AD, the first year of Huanglong, on the day of Bing Shen in the fourth month, Sun Quan formally proclaimed himself emperor, established the Wu Kingdom, and became known as Emperor Wu."
"By the way, Sun Quan's posthumous title of Emperor Wu is unique in history, since there is really no emperor with the posthumous title of 'Great'."
After Lin Ke finished speaking, he couldn't help but laugh. Compared to Liu Bei's Zhaolie or Cao Cao's Wudi, Sun Quan was truly different!
Sun Quan in another timeline: ...Laugh! ...What the hell are you laughing at!
"From this point on, the world was divided among the three kingdoms: Cao Rui of Wei, Liu Shan of Shu Han, and Sun Quan of Wu."
"Although Sun Quan was much younger than Liu Bei and Cao Cao, his actual lifespan was indeed extraordinary. He lived to be seventy, making him the longest-lived leader during the Three Kingdoms period."
"At this stage, Wei was the strongest, so Sun Quan and Shu Han became allies again and joined forces to resist Cao."
Zhang Fei: This title is utterly shameless!
Yuan Shao of the Eastern Han Dynasty: ...The first person in history to be given the posthumous title of "Da Zi" (大字, meaning "great character"), even his achievements did not reach such a level!
Liu Zhuzhu of the Great Han Dynasty: ( ′???`) Even those with achievements like Qin Shi Huang and Emperor Wu of Han did not use this character as their posthumous title!
First Emperor: ...If you want to praise yourself, just say so...
Sun Quan (enraged): Mind your own business!
A sickly young man from the Song Dynasty: Is it really a bad thing for the world to have one more long-lived person like me?
