Chapter 11 of the Eastern Wu Chapter: What Did Zhang Zhao's Children and Grandchildren Do Wrong? Only nine years after Zhang Zhao's death, Sun Quan rushed to open the knife to his son
Zhang Zhao is a person we are all very familiar with, in addition to his superb ability to assist Sun Quan, there is also the embarrassment of his surrender during the Battle of Chibi. In fact, Zhang Zhao was in the later stage, because he dared to speak directly, his personality was too straight, and he was never named a chancellor by Sun Quan.
After Zhang Zhao grew old, he took the initiative to return his official position and the subordinates of the commander to Sun Quan. Zhang Zhaolai had no political affairs to reason for, and at home he wrote "Spring and Autumn Zuo Clan Interpretation" and "Analects of the Analects". Five years after Jiahe, Zhang Zhao died at the age of eighty-one and was honored by Sun Quan as "Wen".
Zhang Zhao's life was over. Who knows, the Sun family's butcher knife has slowly approached Zhang Zhao's descendants.
Zhang Zhao had two sons, the eldest son was named Zhang Cheng (the author suspected that Zhang Zhao should have had a son who died earlier, older than Zhang Cheng, and this article is for the convenience of understanding According to the original text of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Zhang Cheng is called the eldest son and Zhang Xiu is the youngest son), and the younger son is called Zhang Xiu. Sun Quan killed Zhang Xiu nine years after Zhang Zhao's death.
Zhang Xiu was given death by Sun Quan
This time is different, this article is relatively less than Zhang Xiu's scenes, so let's talk about this small first. Zhang Xiu's death was not actually sun quan's jealousy of the Zhang people, in fact, Zhang Xiu was just a victim in the battle for the crown prince. It's just that Sun Quan's big hand really makes you "sacrifice".
When Zhang Xiu was young, he had a very good relationship with Zhuge Ke and Gu Tan, and in the early years they were the staff of Sun Deng, the crown prince of Sun Quan. Unfortunately, Sun Deng died young. At this time, Zhuge Ke, Zhang Xiu and Gu Tan had a new goal in common, that is, Prince Sun He. We know that although Sun He was a prince at that time, Sun Ba, the King of Lu, was also one of the important contenders for the throne, and naturally Sun Ba also had staff. Since then, the two groups of people have begun to "party struggle."
In the second year of Wei Zheng's reign, when the rivalry between the two parties was intensifying, Wang Ling marched south to Qianpi, and Eastern Wu sent Zhang Xiu, Gu Cheng, and others to follow Quan Chun to block Wang Ling. In the actual battle, Zhang Xiu was mainly responsible for containment and countermeasures, and the main credit for repelling Wang Ling was Quan Chun's son and Quan Chun's nephew.
Although the main credit belonged to the whole family, zhang Xiu's official position when it came to merit and reward was actually higher than that of the whole family. Quan Chun was indignant as a result.
Who is Quan Chun? In this article, you don't need to know who he is, just know that he is Sun Ba's party. Quan Chun because Zhang Xiufeng's officials were older than his own sons, coupled with the background of party strife. Quan Chun falsely reported to Sun Quan that Zhang Xiu was rewarded for his private dealings with Dian Jun.
Sun Quan was angry when he heard it, and without thinking carefully (or for the sake of balance), he directly sent Zhang Xiu, Gu Chenggu, and Tan to Jiaozhou to let them experience the southwest style.
Zhang Xiu was exiled, and a million hammers were broken, and one of his political enemies named Sun Hong added some material to Zhang Xiu. Taking this opportunity to further introduce some rumors to Sun Quan, Zhang Xiu was finally given death by Sun Quan in the eighth year of Chiwu at the age of 41.
Zhongshu ordered Sun Hongyou to be false and dangerous, and Hugh Su was angry, and Hong, because it was a complaint, issued an edict to give Hugh death at the age of forty-one. - "Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Biography of Zhang Xiu"
Zhang Xiu, Hugh.
The marital status of Zhang Cheng and his children
Zhang Xiu we just said is Zhang Zhao's younger son, and Zhang Zhao's eldest son is called Zhang Cheng. Zhang Cheng's life is not recorded much, according to the questions to be shared in this article, we directly said his marital status and the situation of his children.
Zhang Cheng's wife died earlier, so Zhang Zhao wanted Zhang Cheng to marry Zhuge Jin's daughter Zhuge Shi. When Zhang Cheng was young, he once thought that it was Zhuge Ke who would give Zhuge Ke to zhuge family in the future, and for other reasons, Zhang Cheng wanted to refuse to marry the Zhuge family. Sun Quan heard that Zhang Zhao wanted his son to marry Zhuge Jin's daughter, and began to be a yuelao happily, which promoted the marriage.
In the seventh year of Chiwu, Zhang Cheng died at the age of sixty-one. Pei Songzhi believes that through many details such as the death of Zhang Cheng and Zhuge Jin on the front and back feet, it is deduced that Zhuge Jin is only four years older than Zhang Cheng.
Zhang Cheng married Zhuge Jin's daughter, and although we know that political marriage does not depend on age, the author still has a little admiration for the marriage at that time. In addition, Zhang Cheng is 21 years older than Zhang Xiu. Zhang Cheng's table character contains "Zhong", and Zhang Xiu's table character contains "Uncle". I don't know how Zhang Zhao felt about having a son again in twenty-one years after Zhang Cheng.
Zhang Cheng has a son, Zhang Zhen, who is also Zhuge Ke's nephew. Zhang Cheng also had two daughters-in-law, the eldest daughter married Sun He, the prince of the State of Wu at the time (Sun Quan also often asked Sun He to perform consorts for Zhang Cheng), and the second daughter married Lu Xun's son Lu Kang.
Sun He eventually did not become emperor, and Before Sun Quan's death, he designated the throne to the ten-year-old Sun Liang, and it seemed that the political marriage of the Zhang family was in vain.
However, after Sun Liang succeeded to the throne, Zhuge Ke became a new ruler, and he also had some misleading remarks with Concubine Zhang. Zhuge Ke once said to Concubine Zhang: "You will one day surpass others." ”
After this remark, everyone speculated that Zhuge Ke would abolish Sun Liang and Sun He, which made people panic.
Miao'er after being exterminated
After Zhuge Ke became a powerful minister, he gradually lost popularity due to his own shortcomings, and it was not long before he was brushed off by a new wave of powerful ministers. After Zhuge Ke was killed by Sun Jun, in order to eliminate the Zhuge family, Sun Jun decided to add a Zhang family to the list of the three tribes.
His nephews Zhang Zhen (張振) the Marquis of Duxiang (都乡侯) and Changshu Zhu En (常侍朱恩) were all of the three tribes. - "Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Biography of Zhuge Ke"
Zhang Zhen was killed, Sun He was also given death, and Concubine Zhang went with Sun He. Although Zhang Shi, who married Lu Kang, was not given death, he was also deposed and never recorded again.
In addition, Sun He and Zhang Fei's daughter-in-law (that is, Sun Hao's sister) survived, and later married Lu Kang and Zhang's biological son Lu Jing (yes, a close relative).
Simply put, it is the daughter of the sister and Sun He, who married the younger sister and lu Kang's son.
Does That Zhang Zhao still have the descendants of the Zhang clan? The answer is yes.
In the Book of Jin, a great-grandson of Zhang Zhao appears, his name is Zhang Min. He was born in 265 AD, long after the extinction of the Zhang family, so his father (that is, one of Zhang Zhao's grandsons) must have escaped extinction.
During the Jin Dynasty, Zhang Min served as Shangshu Jiashan's changshi (常侍), a court lieutenant, and a knight of Yiyang. Zhang Min died at the age of sixty-four, and his son Zhang Chao succeeded him to the title.
Zhang Zhao's name was full for a while, who knows, until Zhang Zhen was exterminated, it was only 17 years before Zhang Zhao's death. Recall that when Zhou Yu's second son was deposed by Sun Quan as a Shuren, some people still used the excuse of the meritorious man to intercede. Zhang Zhen, Zhang Xiu and others were killed, and for the time being, no one was seen interceding with Zhang Zhao's merits. This fully illustrates some of the characteristics of Sun Jun's brutality and Eastern Wu party strife and imperial court politics.
