After the establishment of the Eastern Wu regime, the first thing the emperor did was to grant amnesty to the world, and then carried out a series of rewards, for Sun Jian, the most contributing person in the country, naturally had the title of emperor, and for his brother Sun Ce, he should also be given a certain reward, but this reward was only to crown him as the King of Huan.
Perhaps many people will be very angry when they see this, after all, Sun Ce's contribution to this country is not less than his contribution, but after death, he can only get the title of a king, which is regarded by many people as a kind of ungrateful act without face.
So is this really the case behind this? Did he do this for some other hidden purpose?
To say that the policy of this life is really enough ups and downs, in his own life has not had time to play enough moments, he was seriously injured by his own protégé, but because the medical conditions at that time were very limited, so under the condition that he was too seriously injured, even if there was Hua Tuo, there was no way for him to continue to live in the world
It did not take long for his own political power to naturally transition to the hands of Sun Quan, and Sun Quan did not live up to the expectations of the people of the world after taking over, not only working harder to run the entire country on the basis of the previous one, but even carrying out a certain degree of military construction. Such a good emperor with achievements was indeed a blessing in the Eastern Wu region at that time, and in addition to these good aspects, many people thought that he crowned his brother as king, which was an unauthentic act, and even divided his brother's children into marquises, and such an operation was naturally criticized by most people.
Even authors who know many contributions to history have this evaluation, the most typical representative of which is Chen Shou. He considered this behavior to be a very stingy performance, not only did not give his father and brother enough respect, but even did not treat his children.
Such an act is unreasonable to say, but we can understand from the subsequent historical development that Sun Quan actually did this for his own reasons and also had long-term views. The reason for this is that on the one hand, because Sun Quan did not posthumously crown him as emperor, then his children would not have the right to be crowned as princes, so that his inheritance rights would have a certain guarantee, so it was very appropriate to consider himself in this regard.
In addition to this, we must also think that the relationship between him and his brother is very good, so in some group situation we can also understand that he did not want to kill his brother's child, so he was made a marquis, in a way a sense of responsibility for the child. Because a marquis is no longer ranked in the struggle of a country, let alone threatens the development of the whole country, he has no right to participate in the subsequent struggle for power, so that his safety can be guaranteed.
Perhaps we have seen too many scenes of brothers and sons fighting each other, and think that in various historical dynasties, this kind of thing that has a human affection morality is a very normal and acceptable thing. However, in the Three Kingdoms period, when wars were constantly occurring and people with talent were constantly dying, Sun Quan had his own special considerations, and we can understand it. From the current point of view, Sun Quan is a very wise and far-sighted person. His treatment of his nephew was also very appropriate, not only to save his own country, but also to protect his brother's children very easily, which was indeed a wise move.
