Speaking of the history of the Three Kingdoms period, many people only stay on the superficial understanding of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and this novel-based understanding obviously makes some people know very little about the real history of the Three Kingdoms. So today we will take the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" as a model to understand in detail a big thing that really happened in the State of Wu in the Three Kingdoms, that is, after Sun Quan, the struggle for the throne of Eastern Wu. In this struggle, Sun Quan deposed Sun Quan and killed Sun Ba, and Sun Liang became the biggest beneficiary and successfully ascended the throne of Eastern Wu.
First of all, let's take a look at this Sun He and who Sun Ba is.
Sun and zi zi filial piety. He was the third son of Emperor Sun Quan, and could be said to be the most favored son of Sun Quan. According to the historical records: he and Shaoqi Ling had intellectual intentions, so Quan especially loved Yuki. From this point of view, Sun He can also be said to be a young genius when he was young. After all, among the many heirs, being able to be favored by Sun Quan can be said to have its own unique features. Later, after the death of Sun Quan's eldest son, Sun Deng, Sun He was also crowned as the crown prince of Eastern Wu, and it can be said that the imperial throne was already very close to him.
After talking about Sun He, let's talk about this Sun Ba. Sun Baziwei was Sun Quan's fourth son and sun he was also Sun He's younger brother. After Sun He became crown prince, Sun Ba was crowned king of Lu. In a word, it can be said that it is also a very good grace. According to the "Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms, Wu Zhi, Gu Tan": "It was king Shi Lu who was favored and was with the crown prince and Qi Heng." It can be said that it is precisely this situation that makes Sun Ba's expansion, and the dispute between the two houses broke out. It can be said that it directly led to the tragic ending of Sun and Sun Ba.
Second, let's talk about what kind of person this Sun Liang is.
Sun Liang, Zi Ming. He was the seventh son of Sun Quan, and after Sun He was deposed and killed by Sun Ba, he successfully ascended to the throne of Eastern Wu. However, this was really a tragic emperor, who had been controlled by Zhuge Kesun Jun and other powerful ministers, and finally ended up with a tragic end of being killed by the powerful minister Sun Qiang. Throughout his life, although he occupied the imperial throne, he took the throne at a young age and became a puppet emperor of power. In the end, I spent a tragic life, which can be said to be impressive. Looking at the bloodshed of Sun and Sun Ba's struggle for the throne, it is even more ironic.
Finally, let's take a look at why Sun Quan made such a choice in the face of party strife.
When Sun Quan grew older, he was actually more suspicious in his heart. For several sons, it can be said that they are not very assured, to put it bluntly, they are all guarding against one hand. Since Sun He was crowned crown prince, the balance between the sons has been upset. But you know, the main thing about imperial power is to maintain a balance.
Even if Sun He is Sun Quan's own son, the suspicious Sun Quan also has to keep a hand. And this hand is obviously the favor of Sun Ba, it can be said that this is a good consolidation of Sun Quan's own control over the imperial court, directly avoiding the situation of prince Sun And directly forcing the palace Sun Quan after the family is dominant.
However, this method also left a curse for the subsequent party struggle. According to historical records:
Quan Lihe was made the crown prince, and the feudal lord was the king of Lu, and the first worship was in the same palace room, and the ceremony rank was not divided. The group of public opinions, thinking that the prince and the king were orderly and the etiquette was appropriate, so they divided the palace and separated the staff, and the gap was opened. Since the guests of the imperial service are made at the second end, the enemy party is suspicious, and the minister of nourishment is extended. Lu Xun, the general Zhuge Ke, the general Gu Tan of Taichang, the general Zhu Zhao, the huijian taishou Tengyin, the governor of Dadu Shi Ji, and The Book of Shangshu Dingmi, and others performed in courtesy, and the princes of Zongshi, the generals Bu Qi, the generals of Zhennan, Lü Dai, the grand sima Quanchun, the general of Zuo, Lü Zhao, and The Zhongshu Ling Sun Hong, and other princes of Lu, and the Chinese and foreign bureaucratic generals and ministers were divided into two countries.
That is to say, Sun Quan's act of spoiling Sun Ba, after establishing Sun And becoming crown prince, obviously greatly affected the mentality of Eastern Wu's courtiers. Everyone then took sides to choose people, ready to become the subordinates of Sun Ba, the Prince of Lu or Prince Sun He, to lay a good foundation for their promotion.
It should be known that Eastern Wu can be said to be a place deeply influenced by the Shijia clan, and the power struggle between the prince And sun and the Lu king Sun Ba can be said to have greatly divided the relationship between the shijia clan. At the same time, the court of Eastern Wu can also be said to be a miasma of black smoke, which has become a battlefield for the battle of the second palace.
And Sun Quan's choice to depose Sun and kill Sun Ba can also be said to have his own considerations. After all, according to the situation at that time, the imperial court had already divided into two parties because of the competition for the crown prince. If you arbitrarily give the throne to Sun He or one of sun ba. That would also lead to a direct split within Eastern Wu, just as after Yuan Shao's death, Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang's two brothers, consumed the country's vitality in internal friction. This must not be accepted by Sun Quan, and at the same time, at such a time, Sun Quan is certainly not able to give power to those of the two. This also led to the taking place of the young sun and children.
