<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > First, he experienced hardships in childhood and succeeded to the throne in adulthood </h1>
Sun Hao (孙皓), also known as Peng Zu (彭祖), was the son of Sun Quan's deposed crown prince Sun He and He Ji, the eldest son of Sun He. When Sun Hao was young, he was very popular with his grandfather Sun Quan and was given the name "Peng Zu" by Sun Quan.
When his father Sun He was deposed as crown prince, Sun Hao was only 8 years old. In the years that followed, the young Sun Hao lived a bumpy life with his father, Sun He, and his family, who had been degraded repeatedly.
In the second year of Jianxing (253), Sun He was killed by Sun Jun, a courtier of the imperial family, and Sun He's concubine Zhang Fei also committed suicide.
Sun Hao's mother, He Ji, the second concubine of her father, Sun He, pondered at the time, "If I die with them all, then who will raise these lonely children?" So He Ji chose to survive and raise Sun Hao, who was only 11 years old, and his three half-brothers.
In October of the first year of Yong'an (258), Sun Hao's sixth uncle Sun Xiu succeeded to the throne as Emperor Jing of Wu, and Sun Hao was given the title of Marquis of Wucheng.
During his stay in Wucheng, he had the privilege of getting to know Wan Yu, zuo dianjun who was wucheng ling at the time, and the two had a very good relationship.
In the seventh year of Yong'an (264), the Jing Emperor Sun Xiu died, eastern Wu was leaderless for a while, rebellions were frequent, and the whole country fell into a panic, and all the civil and military officials hoped that a man who stood tall in the sky would stand up and inherit the throne to lead everyone out of such a predicament.
At this time, Wan Yu suddenly thought of the 23-year-old Sun Hao, so he repeatedly praised Sun Hao's talent in front of the chancellor Pu Yangxing and the left general Zhang Bu, saying that he had great ambitions, excellent wisdom, and was a rare talent.
Puyang Xing and Zhang Bu were touched by this, so they went to find Sun Xiu's wife, Empress Zhu, and persuaded her to agree to make Sun Hao his heir. Empress Zhu understood the great righteousness and said, "I am a woman and a Taoist family, and I do not understand the major affairs of the state, as long as you feel that it is beneficial to the Jiangshan Sheji of Eastern Wu." ”
When the people received this, they immediately welcomed Sun Hao over and made him emperor, changed his era name to Yuanxing, and pardoned the world to show his congratulations.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > second, there is no end, grace will take revenge</h1>
When Sun Hao first ascended the throne, he really wanted to be a Ming Jun. He issued edicts, opened warehouses to release grain, and relieved the poor people of the world, and then sent many palace women out of the harem, allowing them to take homeless men as wives. These two measures won the hearts of the people, won the praise of the world, and people celebrated one after another, saying that Eastern Wu had produced a good emperor with both moral integrity and ability.
However, the good times did not last long, and before the people's praise landed, Sun Hao fully exposed his arrogant and extravagant nature, and spent all day talking about dogs and horses, drinking and having fun, and being lazy in the government. Zhang Bu and PuYang Xing repeatedly gave advice, but they were not adopted, and the two regretted that they credulously believed Wan Yu's words. The villain also took advantage of the opportunity to enter the rumors of the two in front of Sun Hao, causing Sun Hao to forget the kindness of the two to their own knowledge, ordered them to be killed, and joined the three tribes.
In July of the first year of Eastern Wu Ganlu (265), in order to sit on the throne, Sun Hao found another excuse to kill Empress Zhu.
What is even more disgraceful is that Sun Hao did not allow Empress Zhu's coffin to be parked in the main hall, but instead arbitrarily placed the body in a small room in the back garden. The kind Empress Zhu accommodated him with great generosity before she died, and helped him to the position of emperor, but she could not dream of dying at the hands of Sun Hao in just one year. Not long after, Sun Hao sent Empress Zhu's four sons to a remote town, after which he ordered two of them to be killed.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > third, spoiling and adultery arouses public indignation</h1>
After doing all this, Sun Hao thought that he could sit back and relax, so he began to build a large number of civil engineering projects, recruiting craftsmen throughout the country to build the Zhaoming Palace. Because the project was huge and required a large amount of huge timber, Sun Hao ordered that all officials under 2,000 stones in the country be gathered in the mountains to supervise and lead the migrant workers to cut wood and materials. In the winter of this year, the Zhaoming Palace was completed, and the radius was 500 meters wide, luxurious and spectacular, and golden and brilliant. The entire project cost trillions of dollars.
During the construction of the palace, another traitor named He Ding appeared.
He Dingben was an inconspicuous petty official, but he did his best to serve and greet, and he won sun Hao's trust, and he was entrusted with heavy responsibilities many times, and his official position was mentioned again and again. Therefore, He Ding also made a false tiger power, commanded in front of the civil and military officials, and became arrogant and arrogant.
Before He Ding was promoted, he had a crush on the daughter of his colleague Li Mao and intended to hire him as his daughter-in-law, but Li Mao did not take him seriously and resolutely rejected him.
He Ding held a grudge against him, so he repeatedly said bad things about Li Mao in front of Sun Hao, framing him of defiance of the imperial court and lawlessness.
Sun Hao indiscriminately ordered the execution of all the old and young members of Li Mao's family, and also burned Li Mao's body to ashes with a fire before he gave up.
Sun Hao has a special fetish and likes to keep dogs, especially for the tall and mighty hounds. Therefore, He Ding often ordered the civil and military officials to look for good dogs under the banner of the emperor. For a time, the value of dogs increased rapidly, ranging from dozens of hundreds to thousands, and even some good dogs could be exchanged for thousands of horses. These dogs were bought and kept in the palace, each with a soldier, responsible for catching hares and feeding them every day, and also equipping each dog with high-grade ornaments worth more than ten thousand.
The ministers were extremely indignant at He Ding's arrogant behavior, but Sun Hao instead believed that He Ding was loyal to him and made him a marquis. It was not until later, when He Ding did whatever he wanted, arousing great public indignation, that Sun Hao was forced to endure the pain of cutting love and ordered He Ding to be killed.
Sun Hao had a concubine who was greedy for money, and the rare treasures in the palace could not satisfy her, so she instigated her subordinates to go to the market to rob the people of things, so that there was a lot of complaints, and everyone was in danger. Among them, the city secretary Zhonglang also regarded Chen Sheng as a red man in front of Sun Hao, and after hearing about this incident, he brought the looters to justice. Sun Hao's concubine then ran to Sun Hao to complain. Sun Hao was furious and immediately sent someone to arrest Chen Sheng, sentence him to capital punishment, and ordered someone to saw his head off and throw his body in the wilderness, with his head in two places, so as to achieve the satisfaction of the concubine.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" >4. Kill loyalists indiscriminately, and envy the ability of the sages</h1>
In the first year of Wu Tianzhi (275), there was a drought in the Huiji area, the grain harvest was greatly reduced, and the people were hungry and cold, and they did not have enough to eat, so they jointly asked the government to open a warehouse to release grain. Huiji Taishou Chejun has always been a clean and honest official, observing the people's feelings, and seeing this situation, he ordered his subordinates to open the official warehouse and save the people from water and fire.
When the news reached the palace, Sun Hao was furious, saying that Che Jun had spent the country's property for his own fame and fortune, and ordered him to be beheaded and bring the head into the capital.
When Xiong Mu saw that his loyal subjects had been killed, his heart was indignant, and he wrote a letter of advice, and Sun Hao, instead of listening, ordered someone to smash him alive with a knife ring, so that after Xiong Mu died, his body was complete.
Sun Hao not only did not allow Zhongliang to give advice, but he was also particularly jealous, and he would never allow anyone to surpass him.
At that time, Zhang Shangcai, a waiter in the DPRK, was quick-witted, well-read, and versatile, so Sun Hao was a thorn in his eye and a thorn in his flesh, and he always wanted to get rid of it quickly. Finally, one day, Zhang Shang was grabbed by him and asked for the death penalty.
There is also a Zhongchang waiter Lou Xuan, who is upright, jealous and hateful, and speaks out in righteousness, and enjoys a very high reputation among the government and the opposition. This made Sun Hao feel very unhappy in his heart, like a thorn in his back. It happened that a traitorous minister falsely accused Lou Xuan of slandering the current government and had no king in sight, so Sun Hao ordered someone to dismiss Lou Xuan from his post and investigate it, and sent him to Guangzhou. Lou Xuan was very angry and finally committed suicide.
Zhongshu Ling He Shao was also a loyal and honest courtier, but he was also framed by villains and dismissed by Sun Hao for investigation. However, he did not find any problems when he came and went, so he was reinstated as an official. It just so happened that He Shao had a stroke and opened his mouth but could not speak. Sun Hao, on the pretext that he was pretending to be ill, ordered people to torture He Shao severely, but poor He Shao could not speak bitterly and was beaten to death.
<h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" > five, perverted sadism, cruelty and absurdity</h1>
Sun Hao is not only cruel, but also likes perverted and sadistic. He married Zhang Bu's eldest daughter and was made empress, and was very favored.
After Zhang Bu was killed, Empress Zhang was heartbroken, but on the surface she still forced a smile. Sun Hao looked into her eyes, and instead of sympathizing, she tried to sprinkle salt on her wounds. Once, Sun Hao asked Empress Zhang, "Do you know where your father went?" Empress Zhang was indignant and said, "I was killed by Emperor Xia!" ”
Sun Hao was furious and drank from his attendants to beat Empress Zhang to death with wooden sticks.
But soon after, Sun Hao thought of Empress Zhang again, and he regretted it very much, so he found someone to carve the remains of Empress Zhang with wooden boards and put it next to him every day to express his longing.
Sun Hao's perverted and sadistic behavior was not only for Empress Zhang, but also for the imperial court ministers and concubines, and whenever he drank, he found ministers to accompany him, and during the banquet, ordered the left and right attendants to verbally insult and mock those ministers, thus obtaining great psychological satisfaction. He also ordered the ministers to be drunk and to give up. In order to supervise the ministers' drinking, he deliberately set up ten huangmenlang to stand behind the ministers and monitor their every move. When the banquet was over, those yellow men reported to him the words and deeds of the courtiers, and if someone lost his attitude after drinking, did not speak inferiorly, or even looked up at him, he would be dealt with as a crime of being blind and severely punished. For this, many innocent officials have been punished.
For the concubines of the harem, Sun Hao was even more cruel. He ordered someone to dig a channel to bring water into the Zhaoming Palace, and if any of the palace women violated his will or were disliked by him, they would be pushed into the river and drowned, and the body would float away in the water. This can also drop a whole corpse, and even worse, it will be skinned, gouged out, and severed, and the cruelty of its methods is heinous.
Sun Hao was not only mad at his brutal deeds, but also his absurd behavior had reached the point of perversion.
Shortly after killing Empress Zhang, Sun Hao heard that Zhang Bu also had a young daughter, who was also very beautiful, but she was already married, sun Hao did not care about three seven twenty-one, ordered someone to run to Zhang Bu's little girl's home, snatched her into the palace, and worshiped her as Lady Zuo.
Despite this, Sun Hao was still not satisfied, in order to get more beautiful women in the world, Sun Hao stipulated that all officials with more than two thousand stones in the family, those who had daughters in the family should register and make a record, and when they reached the age of fifteen, they should be brought into the palace, and after he selected them one by one, the long and beautiful ones should stay in bed, and the ugly looking ones should be allowed to marry. Suddenly, the beauty of the entire Zhaoming Palace was like a cloud, there were thousands of people, among which those who wore the queen's seal abounded.
Sun Hao also came up with all kinds of tricks for his sexual pleasure. He asked the craftsmen to make various pieces of jewelry out of gold, let the palace people wear them for wrestling matches, and sat down to drink and enjoy. And those expensive jewelry is often worn in the morning, and it is not good at night, Sun Hao does not feel sorry at all, and orders the craftsman to immediately change it and do it. The craftsmen took the opportunity to steal, and it did not take long for the treasury to be empty.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" >6, the family is broken and the country is destroyed</h1>
Because of Sun Hao's almost crazy and brutal and absurd behavior, by the end of the Wu Dynasty, the government was in chaos, the civil and military officials were in a precarious situation, the people were complaining, the country and the mountains were in danger, and Sun Hao himself became a lonely man who rebelled against his relatives.
In the winter of the third year of the Wu Yuan Dynasty (279), the Western Jin Dynasty saw the chaos in Eastern Wu and gathered a large army to attack Eastern Wu in six ways. At this time, Wu Guojun's heart was scattered, the upper and lower levels were separated, and there was almost no ability to resist. Wherever the Jin army went, it drove straight in, as if entering no man's land. The following year, the Jin general Wang Mao attacked Jianye and his troops approached the city.
Sun Hao saw that the general situation had gone, and in order to survive, he had to order people to tie his hands, carry a coffin, and lead the civil and military officials out of the city gate and surrender to the Western Jin Dynasty.
Sun Hao's family was escorted by the Jin army to the capital Luoyang, and was made the Marquis of Guizhi by Sima Yan, the emperor of Jinwu. From then on, Sun Hao began the humiliating life of the king of the kingdom in the second half of his life.
Before the imminent demise of Eastern Wu, Sun Hao wrote to his uncle He Zhi: "The present land is not defended, and those who do not defend it are not short of food, the city is not solid, but the soldiers are fighting back." The soldier's back to war is also the sin of loneliness, not the death of heaven in Eastern Wu, but the recruitment of loneliness. ”
Later, he wrote to the courtiers: "Since he succeeded to the throne, he has lost his mind, many places have been deserted, and there are traitors and villains around him, and he is cruel and cruel, so that the loyal ministers in the imperial court have all been killed. Darkness is unconscious, overturning the community. ”
Finally, Sun Hao looked up at the sky and sighed: "The water cannot be collected, what else can I say, only to throw pen!" ”
Sun Hao spent four spring and autumn seasons in Luoyang, died of illness at the age of 42. (Image from the Internet)
