After seven years of surrender to the Cao Wei regime, Sun Quan really couldn't help but feel the excitement in his heart, and he finally took a very important step in his life, that is, to become an emperor. This incident caused a sensation in the whole world, but everyone knew that it was sooner or later, and even Zhuge Liang sent congratulations, acknowledging the fact that the two emperors existed together. Of course, this was Zhuge Liang's strategy to ensure that the Sun family and the Liu family could live in peace. After that, Sun Quan began to crown his own family members, his brothers were all crowned kings, and his father was naturally crowned emperor, but what people could not understand was why his brother Sun Ce was crowned king instead of emperor?
Many of Sun Ce's loyal fans must have been very angry, because the world in Jiangdong was all beaten down by Sun Ce, and their father was killed when he was thirty-five years old, leaving only a few young children. This was a fatal blow to the Sun family, because without their father's protection, these children would be orphaned. Fortunately, they also have a big brother, that is, Sun Ce. At that time, Sun Ce was only eighteen years old and an adult child, but he had already taken on the burden of the family and took the initiative to join Yuan Shu's camp and become a general under him. Here Sun Ce played his own strengths and fought many victories for Yuan Shu, but he could not get yuan Shu's trust, so Sun Ce finally decided to start his own business.
This was the beginning of Jiangdong's foundation, after Sun Quan went out from Yuan Shu's tent, he went straight to Jiangdong, and he took his father's original subordinates to sweep through Jiangdong and completely conquer this vast land. At this time, he unfortunately died, and after his death, the position of the lord of Jiangdong was naturally passed to his only adult brother. Because Sun Ce's son was only a few years old at that time, it was impossible to inherit the position, and even if he inherited, he could not continue. Sun Ce's idea is relatively simple, as long as this foundation is still in the hands of the Sun family, even if it is his own brother, it is also the Sun family. In this way, Sun Quan became the master of this land in Jiangdong, so the person sun quan should thank most should be his brother Sun Ce. But it was his brother, who had such kindness to him, that after he ascended the throne, he was only crowned as a king.
In fact, this incident was mainly because Sun Quan's heart had swelled at that time, and he thought that he was the most powerful person in the Sun family, and everyone else had to make way for him. Since ancient times, it has been inherited by father and son, if your father is the emperor and you are the emperor, then there should not be another emperor in your own generation, even if this person has died, it will not work. At that time, Sun Quan had already become emperor, and Sun Quan's father had also been crowned emperor, so Sun Quan's brothers could no longer have anyone to be emperor. Therefore, Sun Quan would not crown his brother as emperor, at least to ensure that his throne was justified and inherited from his father.
In addition, there is also a possibility that in order to gain the support of the Jiangdong Shi clan, they had to adopt a policy of suppression against Sun Ce. When Sun Ce came to Jiangdong, in order to conquer this land, he launched a very cruel massacre, and many of these massacres were the warriors of Jiangdong. There will be various connections between the warrior clans, so in these killings, it is more or less affected the rights and interests of those clans who submitted to Sun Ce's feet. Although these people did not say it in order to survive at that time, this hatred has always been buried in their hearts, and they hate Sun Ce in their hearts.
Therefore, if these people are not appeased, they will definitely not serve the Sun family. At that time, there was a great shortage of talents, and the warrior clan was the place with the most talents, and if you wanted to rule the country well, you had to encircle these clans. In order to gain the support of these clans, Sun Quan finally gave up the status of his brother Sun Ce under the circumstances of last resort, and only made him king like other brothers. This was unfair to Sun Ce, because his merits really could not be covered up by such a king, but for the sake of the future of the country, Sun Quan had to make such a decision.
