In December of that year, the day before the day of the Wax Festival, a song suddenly sounded in Jianye City, presumably meaning that something would happen at the next day's Wax Festival gathering. After Sun Qiao heard it, his heart was a burst of unhappiness, that night, there was a strong wind outside, causing flying sand and stones and many trees to be uprooted, Sun Qiao felt more and more that something was wrong.
When the next day, when the banquet was about to start, Sun Qiao was panicked and said that he was unwell and did not want to go to the banquet. If the protagonist did not come, this banquet could not be opened, and Sun Xiu kept sending people to urge, sending more than a dozen groups of emissaries before and after. Maybe this wax festival gathering is a relatively big thing, for Sun Xiu's urging, Sun Qi did not have much suspicion, he felt that this was respecting himself, and then there was no way, he had to reluctantly prepare to go to the banquet.
Before leaving, the family is still not very assured, Sun Qiao said, this is the country's more important thing, really can not shirk, so let's wait for a while to estimate the time of the banquet, you will set fire to the house, and then pretend that there is a fire in the house, send someone to invite me back.
There was no word along the way, and after Sun Qiao arrived, he sat on the banquet, and it wasn't long before someone reported that there was a fire in the Chancellor's Mansion. Sun Qiao quickly got up to go home to see, Sun Xiu can promise ah, said that the prime minister do not worry, there are many soldiers outside, how big the fire can be extinguished, you don't have to bother you to do it yourself. Sun Qiang felt that something was wrong, he turned his head and wanted to go outside, at this time Zhang Bu and Ding Feng made a look to the left and right, and several of his men rushed over and tied Sun Qiang up.
At this time, Sun Qiao completely understood that he was being calculated by others, the so-called single stick did not eat the immediate loss, Sun Qiao immediately fell to his knees and prostrated his head while begging for forgiveness, the subject was guilty, and the minister was willing to be exiled to Jiaozhou to atone for his sins. At this time, Sun Xiu also stood up, and he walked over to Sun Xiu's side, looked at him coldly, and said, Why didn't you exile Teng Yin and Lü Zhao? Sun Qiao also couldn't take care of much, and continued to kowtow and beg for forgiveness, and the subject was willing to be punished and become a slave of the government. Seeing this picture of Sun Qiao in front of him, Sun Xiu said again, why didn't you let Teng Yin and Lü Zhao be slaves in the first place?
Speaking of this, Sun Qiao also had nothing to do, and seeing that Sun Qiang would not perform any more, Sun Xiu ordered that Sun Qiang beheaded and shown to the public, and all those who conspired with Sun Qiang to rebel were pardoned. After hearing this news, Sun Qiang's subordinates laid down their weapons one after another and asked for surrender, which also fully confirmed Sun Qiang's character.
After Sun Qiao was killed, Sun Xiu was not too generous, he ordered the destruction of Sun Jun's three clans, and then dug Sun Jun out of the ground, took out the seal of the burial, cut the coffin into pieces, and then reburied it, which was a reckoning with his crime of persecuting Princess Zhu Sun Luyu.
After Sun Qiu's death, Sun Xiu really had the appearance of being an emperor, and he appointed his former friend Puyang Xing as a minister during the period of the princes, and Zhang Bu as the governor of the Chinese army, entrusting them with important affairs of the country, of which Zhang Bu was in charge of the palace official office and Puyang Xing was in charge of military affairs, and the relationship between the two people was still very good, so the State of Wu was basically controlled by them.
To say that Sun Xiu did not do anything at all, it is also a bit wronged to him, he also issued an edict, let the state attach importance to education, respect talents, but also issued an order, let the government try not to harass the people, let the people live and work in peace and contentment. However, it may be that its own ability is really insufficient, in the years when Sun Xiu was emperor, shu and Wei often fought back and forth, and Wu Guo did not take the opportunity to develop itself.
In 264, Sun Xiu, the third emperor of the State of Wu, died of illness, and before his death, he entrusted the prince, who was about ten years old, to the most trusted Puyang Xing and Zhang Bu, hoping that they would assist the crown prince to ascend the throne. However, these two still disappointed Sun Xiu.
Puyang Xing and Zhang Bu actually have their own difficulties, you think, just the year before, the State of Wei had just destroyed the State of Shu, and now the State of Wei has formed a siege of the State of Wu, anyway, it is sooner or later. Another point is that there has just been a rebellion in the southwest Jiaotong area, which has caused the people of Wu to fall into panic, and it is obvious that a ten-year-old child should be the emperor, and everyone still needs an adult to be the master.
The former deposed prince Sun and had a son named Sun Hao, who was twenty-three years old at this time, and Sun Hao was very intelligent since he was a child and was deeply loved by his grandfather Sun Quan. When Zuo Dianjun Wan Yu was a wucheng county commander in the past, he had a very good relationship with Sun Hao, the marquis of Wucheng, so he recommended Sun Hao to Puyang Xing and Zhang Bu, saying that this person had talent, did things decisively, and had the style of Sun Ce, the little overlord of that year. In addition, Sun Hao was also very studious, abided by the law, and could be a good emperor in the future.
After listening to Wan Yu's recommendation, Puyang Xing and Zhang Bu were very satisfied, and they persuaded Empress Zhu not to let her son succeed to the throne, but to choose Sun Hao as the fourth emperor of the State of Wu.
