Since ancient times, most of the ministers have been the heads of hundreds of officials, assisting the emperor in taking over the power of the dynasty, and their status is also above ten thousand people under one person, and it is naturally an extremely glorious thing to become a dynasty minister. However, during the period of Sun Hao, the late Emperor of the Three Kingdoms of Wu, the chancellor was a high-risk occupation, and during the reign of Sun Hao, there were four chancellors, one of whom was exterminated, one of whom committed suicide, one of whom died in battle, and one of whom died normally, but his family members were exiled.
Sun Hao, the late Emperor of Wu, was the son of Sun Quan's deposed crown prince Sun He, and his biological mother was He Ji, although he was a concubine, Sun Quan was very fond of him and gave him a nickname Pengzu. At the age of nine, Sun He's position as crown prince was deposed. When he was twelve years old, Emperor Zong's relative Sun Jun controlled the imperial government, Sun He was given death, and Crown Princess Zhang also committed suicide. Without dependence and dependence, Sun Hao could only suppress himself and be a low-key person. And this series of changes also unconsciously affected Sun Hao's personality, and his subsequent violence was also inseparable from his life experience.
Originally, Sun Hao and Sun Wu's throne were very close, after all, he was once the eldest son of the crown prince, but the prince was deposed and given death, which made him instantly 18,000 miles away from the throne. After Sun Quan's death, the seventh Sun Liang took the throne, and after Sun Liang was deposed, Sun Quan's sixth son, Sun Quan, ascended the throne, and after Sun Xiu's death, the throne originally had little to do with Sun Hao, because Sun Xiu had a son.
However, at that time, the Shu Han had just fallen, and there was another rebellion in Jiaozhi County, within the territory of the State of Wu, and at a time of internal and external troubles, the Eastern Wu courtiers all hoped that an elderly emperor would come to preside over the overall situation, and at this time Sun Xiu's son was still young, so the ministers led by the chancellor PuYang Xing and the zuo general Zhang Bu hoped to persuade Sun Xiu's empress dowager Zhu to appoint Sun Hao, who had the style of "Sun Ce the Prince of Changsha Huan", as emperor. Empress Zhu was the daughter of Sun Luyu, the daughter of the former chancellor Zhu Zhao and Sun Quan, after all, she was born into a famous family and knew great righteousness, so she agreed to depose her son and establish Sun Hao on the throne.
In this way, Sun Hao successfully ascended the throne and successfully became emperor, while Puyang Xing was still the chancellor. This year, Sun Hao was twenty-three years old, eleven years after the death of his father Sun He. When he first ascended the throne, Sun Hao took a series of positive measures, "issuing excellent edicts, compassion for the people, opening up warehouses, and vibrating poverty", and everyone once felt that Sun Hao was really a famous lord. However, after a long time in a high position, it is easy to control their desires, plus Sun Haoyin endured for eleven years, at this time he finally no longer has to fear anyone, and the emotions accumulated over the past many years can finally be vented unscrupulously.
"Hao has the ambition, rough and arrogant, more taboo, good wine"
Sun Hao, who let go of himself, disappointed everyone, and the most regrettable thing was Puyang Xing and Zhang Bu, who single-handedly helped Sun Hao to the throne. But at this time, the two had no choice but to complain privately. All this was reported to Sun Hao by the well-intentioned man Wan Yu, who disregarded their support and exiled them to Guangzhou, and sent people to hunt them down and kill them halfway through, and destroyed their three tribes.
Two years after Puyang Xing's death, Sun Hao appointed two more ministers, Lu Kai as the left minister and Wan Yu as the right minister.
Lu Kaike is a great talent, from the Lu clan of gu lu Zhu Zhangzhong, the four major families in Jiangdong, and is Lu Xun's nephew, who is the same generation as Lu Kang. Lu Kai was born with integrity, and as a chancellor, he repeatedly spoke out and advised Sun Hao, which repeatedly caused Sun Hao's dissatisfaction, according to Sun Hao's temper, if he had changed someone else, he would have been destroyed long ago. However, because the Lu resistance of the Lu family at that time had been on the border to resist the invasion of the Western Jin Dynasty, with heavy troops in hand, Sun Hao was very jealous of this and could only tolerate it. Therefore, Lu Kai was not persecuted before his death.
After Lu Kang's death (at this time Lu Kai had died of illness), Lu Kai's family suffered. "After (Lu) resisted the death, he actually moved (Lu) Kai's family to Jian'an." Jian'an County, jian'an county in today's Jian'ou city, Fujian Province, was a remote place at that time, and was an ideal place for exile.
After Lu Kai's death, the right chancellor Wan Yu took the exclusive position. Wan Yu and Sun Hao had a deep friendship, and before Sun Hao ascended the throne, Wan Yu had recommended Sun Hao to Puyang Xing, so he was also one of the heroes of Sun Hao's ascension to the throne. Wan Yu used his relationship with Sun Hao to repeatedly advise, gradually causing Sun Hao's dissatisfaction, and the contradiction between the two became deeper and deeper. Sun Hao killed Wan Yu, and Wan Yu also wanted to depose Sun Hao. At a banquet, Sun Hao poisoned the wine, and Wan Yu was able to survive by mistake, but committed suicide shortly after returning home.
The last chancellor, Zhang Ti, was appointed at a time when Sun Wu was about to be defeated. When the Western Jin Dynasty Sixth Route Army came to attack Eastern Wu, Zhang Ti led a large army to resist as a chancellor, knowing that he was invincible and still crossed the river to meet the battle, although he had the opportunity to escape after the defeat, he resolutely decided to die on the battlefield and martyr the country.
