The Fifty-fourth Time of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms - Wu Guo Tai Buddhist Temple to see the groom, Liu Huang Uncle Cave Room continued to be a good couple. It tells the story of Zhou Yu, who used the pretext of marrying Sun Quan's sister Sun Shangxiang to Liu Bei To follow the strings, tricked Liu Bei into Jiangdong and designed to frame him but did not succeed.
During this period, there was a scene in which Wu Guotai was reluctant to marry his daughter to Liu Bei, who was more than half a hundred years old, but after seeing Liu Bei himself, seeing that he had extraordinary temperament, he suddenly changed his mind and gladly married his daughter to Liu Bei. This not only makes us feel strange, Wu Guotai is also the mother of a country, how can she be so unconstrained in marrying her daughter? Seeing that people are handsome, they marry others?
However, the detailed analysis found that this was not the case.
In the original text, Qiao Guo lao praised Liu Bei, "Xuande has the posture of a dragon and phoenix, and the table of heaven and sun." This means that Liu Bei has the blessing of being an emperor. Does this pay off? If Liu Bei can become emperor in the future, then his daughter marrying Liu Bei will be empress. This is far more promising than marrying his daughter to a certain minister of Eastern Wu.
Of course, if Liu Bei becomes emperor, Sun Quan's small life will be difficult to protect, not only will it be difficult to protect his small life, but he may also be connected to the Nine Tribes. At this time, Sun Shangxiang, who was married to Liu Bei, was definitely no longer in Zhulian. In that era of great strength, this practice undoubtedly added another layer of insurance to his daughter. Although Sun Quan also called Wu Guotai's mother, Wu Guotai's biological child was only Sun Shangxiang, and everyone should know which one hurt the most.
Wu Guotai also has a layer of insurance in doing so. That is, if Liu Bei's blessing as emperor did not have a long time, that is to say, Liu Bei's power was eventually annexed. So what are the forces that could possibly annex him? It is nothing more than the State of Wu and the State of Wei. If the State of Wu annexed Liu Bei, it would be the safest. After the State of Wu swallowed Liu Bei, the power would naturally be stronger than the State of Wei, and then it would be able to swallow the State of Wei, and the last emperor would become Sun Quan.
Sun Shangxiang is Sun Quan's younger sister, sun Quan can kill her brother-in-law Liu Bei but abuse her brothers and sisters, and she will certainly not do anything to Sun Shangxiang. Unless Sun Shangxiang was dead-eyed and insisted on going to liu bei to find death. However, judging from the few things that Sun Shangxiang did later, Sun Shangxiang was definitely not the kind of person with a dead heart. Therefore, Wu Guo's swallowing of Liu Bei still would not pose any threat to Sun Shangxiang, which was another kind of insurance.
Of course, the worst thing was that Wei Guo swallowed Liu Bei. Cao Cao of the State of Wei defeated Liu Bei and then grew in power to swallow up the State of Wu. Cao Cao had a characteristic, suspicious nature, and after seeing the fate of Dong Zhuo and Yuan Shu as emperors, he gave up the idea of being emperor. Since he would not be called emperor, he would not treat Liu Bei after he swallowed Liu Bei, after all, Jiangshan was still nominally the Liu family. At this time, Cao Cao would at most reduce Liu Bei to a commoner, unless Liu Bei had any restless purpose at that time, Cao Cao would kill Liu Bei, but even if Liu Bei was killed, it would not do anything to Liu Bei's family. After all, Jiangshan belongs to the Liu clan, and if it is too much for the members of the Liu clan, there will be a suspicion of usurpation.
At that time, although Sun Shangxiang became a commoner, he was able to save his life. Sun Shangxiang is still safe.
Wu Guotai was really scheming and arranged the future of his daughter Sun Shangxiang properly. Liu Bei looks extraordinary, of course, he will add points to his blind date, but what can really decide to become a relative is his special status and special status.
Sun Quan later tricked his sister back into Eastern Wu, which undoubtedly completely broke Wu Guotai's plan. Although it is not written in the novel, it can also be guessed that Wu Guotai must have scolded Sun Quan with a dog blood sprinkler when he saw his daughter return.
