Among the Three Kingdoms, the Shu state had two wives who were more famous, one was Zhuge Liang's wife Huang Yueying, and the other was Liu Bei's wife Sun Shangxiang. One is ugly and famous, and the other is tough and famous.
Sun Shangxiang
At that time, Cao Cao's power in the north was too strong, and in order to stabilize the alliance, sun and Liu's two families came to a political marriage, at that time Sun Shangxiang was only 20 years old, but Liu Bei was already 45 years old. After all, it is a political marriage, these two people have no emotional basis at the beginning, coupled with the age gap, a pair of people who could have been separated by father and daughter generations have now become husband and wife, which makes Sun Shangxiang how can he accept it from the bottom of his heart? In her heart, she felt like a bargain.
Later, after Sun Shangxiang returned to Eastern Wu, he never returned to Liu Bei's side, why is this? As mentioned earlier, this is a political marriage, Sun Shangxiang has no emotional basis for Liu Bei, how can a young woman be willing to serve a bad old man who is nearly half a hundred years old?
In the past, Sun Shangxiang is a good martial woman, from a political point of view, where is this Eastern Wu to marry a wife, this Eastern Wu is to send a female spy with a distinguished status, outside Liu Bei first to guard against Cao Cao in the north, second to see the face of Eastern Wu borrowing Jingzhou, back home Liu Bei also has to be wary of his wife, so Liu Bei does not have much real feelings for Sun Shangxiang.
In addition, when Sun Shangxiang left Jingzhou at that time, she wanted to bring Ah Dou back to Eastern Wu, nominally raising Ah Dou to grow up, but who did not know that she went to Eastern Wu and became a hostage. At that time, after being chased to the river by Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei, Zhang Fei said that Sun Shangxiang did not have the face to return to Liu Bei's side. The last point is that Sun Shangxiang's years as Liu Bei's wife, did not give birth to an heir for Liu Bei, the relationship between husband and wife is not good, no children to break the deadlock, how to continue?
