Sun Liang was the younger son of Sun Quan during the Three Kingdoms period. After Sun Quan deposed The Crown Prince Sun He, he made Sun Liang crown prince. After Sun Quan's death, Sun Liang succeeded to the throne as monarch when he was only a teenager.
One day, he watched the training from the West Garden and returned to the palace, wanting to eat a few green plums to quench his thirst. A eunuch offered green plums, Sun Liang couldn't wait to take a bite, good fellow, he felt that his teeth and bones were sour, and hurriedly ordered the eunuch to go to the warehouse to get honey to mix and eat.
Honey was brought, Sun Liang mixed it with Qingmei, and when he was eating hard, he found that there were a few grains of mouse in the honey, and he vomited up after a bout of nausea.
When the eunuchs saw this, they panicked, some helped him beat his back, some helped him wipe away the dirt on the side of his mouth, and some were busy gargling him with water. After vomiting, Sun Liang was furious and drank the eunuch who took the honey, why is there rat in the honey?
The eunuch trembled with fright and replied, "The slave did not know, presumably the official in charge of the storeroom had failed in his duty and let the rats run to the honey altar to steal honey to eat, and when they were full, they in the honey."
The summoned Ku official did not know what had happened, and came to Sun Liang trembling, knelt down, and said, "Your Majesty has called out to the villain, what is your command?"
Sun Liang asked, "Why is there rat in honey?" "The little man doesn't know."
Sun Liang was even more annoyed: "You don't know if he doesn't know, is this rat falling from the sky?"
The treasurer argued: "The jar containing the honey is tightly covered with a lid, and even the ashes cannot fall into it." If Your Majesty does not believe him, he may send someone to check it out. ”
Sun Liang felt that what Ku Guan had said was reasonable, and he turned to the eunuch and asked, "That's what you put there?" "I went to get honey, and I came back in a moment, in a hurry, where to find rat in honey?" The eunuch explained.
At this time, Diao Xuan and Zhang Yingqi played: "Since neither of them admits it, they will be handed over to the law enforcement officer for interrogation." Sun Liang thought for a moment and said, "No, this matter is easy to figure out."
Sun Liang ordered the other eunuchs to cut open the rat droppings one by one, and after careful inspection, he pointed to the eunuch who went to get the honey and said, "You put the rat droppings, and you haven't recruited them from the truth!"
The eunuch still wanted to argue, and Sun Liang said, "If the rat is already in the honey, the inside and outside of the are wet, and these rat is dry and wet inside, it means that it was just put into the honey, and this must be what you put in."
In the face of the facts, the eunuch had to bow his head and confess his guilt. Kushi thought to himself: If he put the of a rat and it was wet inside and out, then I would be finished today. He couldn't help but sigh softly, and both left and right admired Sun Liang's analysis and judgment.
Sun Liang asked the eunuch who took the honey, "When you put rat in the honey, did you sincerely want to harm me?" The eunuch prostrated his head like a garlic and said, "Don't dare not dare!" Sun Liang said, "Then you must be trying to frame the Ku official!"
The eunuch who took the honey was silent. Sun Liang asked Ku Guan, "Do you have a conflict with him?" Ku said, "He once asked me for honey to eat, but I didn't dare to give it to him, so he always remembered his hatred in his heart, and today he saw that he had an opportunity to take advantage of it, so he came to harm me." Thanks to Your Majesty Saint Ming! ”
Sun Liang asked the eunuch, "What else do you have to say?" The eunuch knelt down to beg for forgiveness, and Sun Liang ordered him to shave off his hair, whipped him dozens more times, and drove him outside the palace.
