A year before the death of Emperor Taizong of Wu, sun Quan's sixth descendant, Wei destroyed Shu. Since then, Eastern Wu has been within the semi-encircling circle of the State of Wei. To make matters worse, there was a constant rebellion in the southern Jiaozhou.
When Sun Xiu died of illness, The crown prince was only 15 years old. PuYangxing, the prime minister, said worriedly, "The crown prince is young, and once he is seduced by any of his internal ministers and acts recklessly, we are sorry for the former emperor." Moreover, the country's internal and external troubles, how can a teenager cope with it? General Zuo Zhang Bu nodded in agreement. They had a close confidant named Wan Yu, and Wan Yu had a good personal relationship with Sun Hao, the deposed prince of Sun Quan, and when he heard that they had the idea of changing the emperor, he hurriedly took a sentence: "I see that the 23-year-old Sun Hao is good, has both moral integrity and ability, and has the demeanor of a king." If it were to be established, he would certainly be grateful for our patronage when he ascended the throne. ”
Puyang Xing and Zhang Bu felt that Wan Yu was right, and after much consideration, decided to support Sun Hao as emperor. Therefore, in the hands of these three people, Eastern Wu ushered in a new emperor.
Sun Hao performed well when he first took over the throne, he was diligent in government affairs, subtracting a large number of palace women, releasing rare animals and animals in the palace, and opening the granary to help the poor people. Puyang Xing and Zhang Bu were overjoyed--bet on the right bet! The whole government and the public also cheered - I met the Lord! But before they could close their mouths, a smile froze on their faces. As his power became more and more secure, Sun Hao threw off his mask and completely transformed into another person, like a jackal showing its sharp teeth.
The first person Sun Hao took to open the knife was the great hero who supported him to ascend the throne. At the beginning, Puyang Xing and Zhang Bu wanted to change the emperor, not entirely out of selfishness, but also from the overall situation. But Wan Yu was different from the two, he advised Sun Hao to be selfish, and the goal was also very clear--under one person, above ten thousand people. If Wan Yu wanted to climb to this peak that was close at hand and far away in the sky, Puyang Xing and Zhang Bu were insurmountable mountains. So Wan Yu quietly said to Sun Hao: "Puyang Xing and Zhang Bu said that His Majesty has changed, complained everywhere, and was very remorseful to welcome His Majesty to the throne." ”
Sun Hao, under the supervision of the two old ministers, also felt unfree, so he ordered the arrest of Puyang Xing and Zhang Bu, exiled them to the south, and sent people to hunt them down and kill them halfway.
Zhang Bu has a daughter, very beautiful, very favored by Sun Hao. After Sun Hao killed Zhang Bu, he deliberately asked Zhang Meiren, "Where has your father gone?" Zhang Meiren said angrily, "Killed by the traitor!" Sun Hao was furious and ordered someone to hammer her to death with a wooden stick. Afterwards, Sun Hao missed her appearance again, and let people carve out her wooden statue and put it next to her seat all day. One day, Sun Hao asked Zhang Bu if he still had a daughter, and his subordinates said that they did, but they were married. Sun Haocai ignored all this, so he ordered someone to snatch Zhang Bu's other daughter into the palace, and mixed with her day and night, ignoring the government. Zhang Bu's daughter lived with this perverted enemy, psychologically stressed, and died soon after.
When Sun Hao ascended the throne, there was another meritorious man, that is, Sun Xiu's wife, Empress Zhu. When Puyang Xing and Zhang Bu changed Sun Hao's position, they had to get her consent, and Empress Zhu also agreed from the overall situation, and she did not expect to raise a Zhongshan wolf. More than a month after Sun Hao came to power, he honored his mother as empress dowager and forced Empress Zhu to commit suicide. Sun Hao then exiled Empress Zhu's four sons to a remote town, and when they arrived, they killed the two older ones.
At this time, looking at Eastern Wu from afar, like the rainstorm of summer is coming, killing these people is just thunder before the rain. Immediately after, the fierce wind roared with dark clouds, and the national fortunes of Eastern Wu would also come to an end.
