When it comes to the magnificent Three Kingdoms era, people are more willing to read the story of Wei Shu and Wu Sanjia's difficult entrepreneurship. However, the Three Kingdoms eventually returned to the Jin, and for the king of the three subjugated countries, everyone seemed to be more impressed by only Shu Han, who said "Happy not to think of Shu". As for the other two, Cao Wei's Cao Huan has always been a puppet-like being, while Sun Hao of Eastern Wu has appeared in front of the world as a brutal and unkind figure.
To say how cruel Sun Hao is, there is such a thing. When Sun Hao was still the Emperor of Eastern Wu, one day Sun Hao asked his concubine where her father had gone, and the concubine replied that he had been killed by thieves, and Sun Hao had killed his concubine.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" >: the historical background of Sun Hao's becoming the emperor of Eastern Wu</h1>
Sun Hao was Sun Quan's grandson, and his father was the deposed prince Sun He. When Sun Quan was emperor, the first crown prince was the more virtuous Sun Deng, but Sun Deng's life was thin and he died early. Later, Sun Quan made his favorite third son and crown prince, but Sun Quan's fourth son, Sun Ba, was also favored by Sun Quan. After the forces of Eastern Wu took sides, a party struggle broke out between Sun He and Sun Ba for the crown prince, which is known in history as the "Dispute of the Second Palace". In the end, Sun He was deposed and Sun Ba was given death, and Sun Quan's younger son Sun Liang became the new emperor of Eastern Wu.
Although Sun Liang became emperor, the major affairs of the state were not decided by him, but in the hands of powerful ministers, that is, Zhuge Ke, Sun Jun, and Sun Qiang. Sun Liang fought against the powerful ministers many times, but in the end he lost to Sun Qi, was deposed by Sun Qiao as the King of Huiji, and then died inexplicably.
Sun Liang was succeeded by his elder brother Sun Xiu, who knew how his younger brother Sun Liang had suffered at the hands of the powerful ministers and the outcome of his failure, so he held back and found the right opportunity to get rid of Sun Jiao. Then he began to exert efforts to lead Eastern Wu to prosperity. However, in the later period, due to excessive trust in Zhang Bu and Puyang Xing, the two rights fell to the opposition.
No matter how hard Sun Xiu tried, the world still changed, his ally Shu Han was destroyed by Cao Wei, internal conflicts continued to rebel, and Eastern Wu was in danger. Under multiple pressures, Sun Xiu finally couldn't bear it and passed away with regret. Before leaving, he entrusted his young children to Zhang Bu and PuYangxing. However, because of the unstable situation, these two went against Sun Xiu's wishes and chose an elderly patriarch to be the new emperor of Eastern Wu, and this new emperor was Sun Hao, and since then Sun Hao has begun to embark on the stage of history.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > two: Why did Sun Hao kill his concubine</h1>
Although Sun Hao was cruel, he was not a fool, he knew that he could become emperor and rely on the support of his courtiers, so Sun Hao married Zhang Bu's daughter and became his concubine. At the same time, on the eve of Sun Hao's coming to power, he exerted great efforts to govern and widely administer benevolent government to the people. When Sun Hao fully grasped the power, Sun Hao changed, and he killed all the people who threatened his power. Among them were Zhang Bu and Puyang Xing, Sun Xiu's sons, and some powerful Clans with the surname Sun, as well as some Jiangdong clans that were not dependent on themselves, such as Bu Yan and so on.
Even if Sun Hao got rid of the powerful ministers and a series of people who threatened him, the power was in his hands. But after all, the Eastern Wu regime was in turmoil, and it was only a matter of time before it was destroyed.
It is said that although Sun Hao killed the powerful minister Zhang Bu, Zhang Bu's daughter has always been in Sun Hao's palace, and Sun Hao has a good favor for him. But the revenge of killing her father, how could Concubine Zhang forget. Once, Sun Hao suddenly had a brain twitch, so he asked Concubine Zhang where her father had gone, and when Concubine Zhang listened, sorrow came from her heart, and she hated Sun Hao. He immediately replied, "My father was killed by thieves." ”
Although Sun Hao only got rid of Zhang Bu for the sake of his own family's foundation, he naturally felt bad when he heard that Concubine Zhang had damaged himself so much. So Sun Hao revealed his ferocious nature and put Concubine Zhang to death.
Subsequently, the Eastern Wu regime was also destroyed by the Sima family, and Sun Hao was made the Marquis of Guizhou to enjoy his old age in Luoyang.
