Sun Hao, the last emperor of Eastern Wu, was a very unfortunate emperor. At that time, he took over the pick of Eastern Wu at a critical moment. He said that he was in a moment of crisis because it coincided with the fall of the Shu state at that time, and the emperor of Eastern Wu, Sun Xiu, also died at this time. When Sun Hugh died, his sons were still very young. Proceeding from The state plan of Eastern Wu, the chancellor PuYangxing and the zuo general Zhang Bu did not support Sun Xiu's sons as emperors, but supported Sun Hao, who was already 22 years old at the time, as emperor.
Obviously, Sun Hao was embraced at a critical moment. The purpose of everyone was to hope that Sun Hao would be able to turn the tide and exert great efforts to ensure that Eastern Wu was not destroyed by the State of Wei (later the State of Jin).

When Sun Hao first came to power, it really gave people the feeling of bright eyes. He was very diligent and cared about the people, and opened warehouses to help many poor people. At the same time, in order to save the beginning of the palace, he also put many palace women back into the folk and let them marry out of the palace. At the same time, he also released the rare birds and beasts raised in the palace, not only to save the expenses of the palace, but also to show that he did not play greedily and wanted to work hard.
Sun Hao's practice won him praise from all over the Wu dynasty, and even Wei Guo was deeply shocked, believing that Wu Guo had encountered the "Lord Ling" and would be in trouble in the future.
However, Sun Hao's excellent performance had not lasted for a year, and he had completely changed. Not only did he no longer like the affairs of the government, but he also showed the two most prominent inferior traits in him: one was sexual cruelty, and the other was good wine.
When Sun Hao was on the throne, he attacked those who disobeyed him very cruelly. The Zizhi Tongjian records an incident in which sun hao was later captured by Emperor Wu of Jin and captured in Luoyang, when Jia Chong saw Sun Hao, he asked him: "Wenjun chiseled people's eyes in the south and skinned people. Here it is said that "chiseling people's eyes and peeling people's faces", you can imagine how cruel it is!
Sun Hao is cruel, and it is also he himself who thinks that he is very remarkable and does not take others in his eyes. Even when he was taken prisoner, he still did not take Emperor Wu of Jin into account. One day, Emperor Wu of Jin invited him to drink and said to him, I have been preparing this position for you for a long time. Who knows that he even said that when I was in the south, I had already prepared a position for you, and I had been preparing for a long time.

If Sun Hao said this when he was emperor, we think he has a lot of backbone. At this time, it is a braggart. In addition, the so-called "unity of knowledge and action", even if Sun Hao said this in those years, he did not see any efforts he made to revitalize the country, but he could not listen to the opinions of others.
At that time, the two ministers who helped him to power, PuYang Xing and Zhang Bu, saw that he was drunk and ignored the government, and gave him a lot of advice. But he didn't listen. Instead of listening, they crossed the river and demolished bridges and severely cracked down on them. He exiled Puyang Xing to Guangzhou. However, halfway through, he sent someone to catch up with him, kill him, and destroy his three tribes. At the same time, Sun Hao also killed Zhang Bu.
At that time, Zhang Bu's younger daughter Zhang Meiren had been summoned to the palace by Sun Hao and became Sun Hao's concubine, and because this Zhang Meiren was very beautiful, Sun Hao loved her very much.
When Sun Hao killed Zhang Bu, he seemed to be a little worried that Zhang Meiren was not good for him, and his heart was not steady, so he asked Zhang Meiren: "Where is Ru Father?" That is, to ask Zhang Meiren where his father Zhang Bu went. Some people may say that Zhang Bu has been killed by Sun Hao, is this not a knowing question? Yes, Zhang Bu is to ask knowingly, in order to test what Zhang Meiren thinks.

At that time, Zhang Meiren said bluntly: "Thieves kill them!" It was killed by the "thief". This is also to scold Sun Hao as a thief. Sun Hao was furious and asked zhang Meiren to be pulled out and beaten to death with a stick.
However, this Zhang Meiren was so beautiful that he beat Zhang Meiren to death, and he had some regrets, so he asked the skilled craftsman to chisel a puppet and place it next to the seat according to Zhang Meiren's appearance. However, after all, it was a puppet, there was no life, and Sun Hao was very dissatisfied. At this time, he had a sudden idea and asked the guards around him, did Zhang Bu still have a daughter? The guards inquired and told him that Zhang Bu also had an eldest daughter, but he was already married. Sun Hao's nose hummed, how about getting married! So he snatched this eldest daughter and filled his harem.
This eldest daughter is not as backbone-like as the younger daughter, of course, or maybe she has to smile. In short, after she entered Sun Hao's harem, she rolled with Sun Hao all day and ignored the government. Half a year later, Sun Hao's eldest daughter died, and Sun Hao buried her sadly and beautifully. Because Sun Hao had not been out of the palace for half a year, others thought that Sun Hao was dead.
Sun Hao was so absurd, how could Wu Guo not perish!
