Sun Liang died in the same year as Cao Xi. To be fair, Sun Liang's intelligence can only be regarded as a little cleverness, of course, he is still a teenager, and he cannot have much experience in political struggles, and obviously cannot be harsh on him. His opponent Sun Qi was actually only a young man in his early twenties, and no matter how seniority, merit, prestige, power, strategy, etc., could not be compared with Sima Shi's father and son. Moreover, he had only taken over power from his cousin Sun Jun for two years, and his foundation was unstable, and he was still quite jealous of Sun Liang, the young heavenly son. When Sun Liang personally took charge of state affairs and asked him about many things, Sun Qiang was "very afraid" and used the excuse that he was ill and no longer went to the court. Later, Sun Liang tracked down the cause of Princess Zhu's death, and wanted to kill Zhu Xiong and Zhu Bao, the two sons born to Zhu Jun's ex-wife, and Zhu Liang's wife was Sun Jun's own sister, Sun Qiao advised Sun Liang to forgive the Zhu brothers, after all, they were nominally the sons of Princess Zhu Luyu, Sun Liang did not listen, Sun Qiang "feared" - my power was handed over by Sun Jun, you do not look at Sun Jun's affection at all, kill his brother-in-law, and are not knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger and rushing at my Sun Qiang! It can be seen from this that not only could Sun Qiang not be compared with Sima Zhao, but Sun Liang's power was also much greater than that of Cao Xian. Unfortunately, the youth army that Sun Liang painstakingly formed not only failed to come in handy at the critical moment, but instead fought grass and snakes, forcing Sun Qiang to raise his vigilance. In fact, at that time, in the Eastern Wu court, there were still some ministers who held real power who were willing to serve the emperor, such as the veteran general Ding Feng, and Sun Liang only needed to play a little "Tao Obscure" and find an opportunity to get rid of the shallow Sun Qiang, it should be said that it would not be too difficult. Of course, it is estimated that he would not have expected that his own brother would be more dangerous and more terrible than Sun Qi—Sun Qiao was not too much to do, leaving his own life; his brother Sun Xiu could not allow himself to live any longer.
Sun Liang's wife, QuanShi, was empress for 6 years, and sun Liang was deposed, so she became the princess of Huiji and left the capital with her husband. Sun Liang died on the way to the posting official, and Quan Shi successfully arrived in the place of the fallen, and it was not until 20 years later that the state of Wu collapsed, and she returned to Jiangnan, and her husband's coffin was also moved to Jiangnan by the former Wu officials. Quanshi was fortunate that after her husband's death, she lived another 41 years until the death of Yongning in the Western Jin Dynasty (301 AD), estimated to be about 60 years old.
Empress Quan (244–301)
It should be said that Sun Xiu was still a good emperor, and during his reign he promulgated and implemented many measures to benefit the people, such as: advocating Confucianism, appointing officials, restoring the "Five Classics" doctorate of the Han Dynasty, encouraging officials and their children to further their studies with honors; lightly giving small endowments, reducing the number of conscripts from various families, attaching importance to the development of agricultural production, and recruiting according to the reasonable class of fields and acres, so that the officials and the people can win-win results, and the people are enough to be self-sufficient; attach importance to the rule of officials, set the system of examination of classes, send people to inspect the people's feelings, and examine the officials and officials. During the 6-year reign of Sun Xiu, the society of the Eastern Wu Kingdom was relatively stable, and the people were able to live and work in peace and contentment. For example, he named his son, and also took the principle of "difficult to commit and easy to avoid" as the principle, and took care of the interests of his subjects: don't let the subjects commit crimes by mistakenly touching the name of Wu'er. To this end, he deliberately created 4 characters and gave them to 4 sons. For example, the firstborn is given the word "rain", the following "single" word, pronounced as "Lake Water Bay Ao No Wan" (wān); the second son is also the "rain" word head, the following "Tian" word, there is also a "big" word below the Tian character, pronounced as "gōng"; the two words of the three sons and four sons are also strange, even the dictionary dictionary is difficult to find, the computer's various Chinese character input methods are even more difficult to find. However, on larger matters, such as the issue of employing people, Sun Xiu's behavior was not flattering: the two ministers he favored, one was the aforementioned left general Zhang Bu, and the other was named Puyang Xing, who was promoted to chancellor, and these two people were monopolistic and flattering, shielding each other, which greatly disappointed the subjects; Although Sun Xiu also had a little number in his heart, he still relied on his heart. In July of the seventh year of Yong'an (264 AD), Sun Xiu suddenly "fell ill and could not speak", fortunately his hand could still move, so he wrote down a "holy will", summoned the chancellor Puyang Xing into the palace, and ordered his eldest son, the crown prince Sun "Yudan", to come out to see him. Sun Xiu held Puyang Xing's arm, pointed to the crown prince, entrusted him with loneliness, and died not long after, only 30 years old, and was known as Emperor Jing of Wu. At that time, the Shu state had just fallen, and the Romance of the Three Kingdoms said that Sun Xiu "heard that Sima Yan had usurped Wei, knew that he would definitely cut down Wu, and was worried about becoming ill and bedridden." Regardless of whether Sun Xiu was "worried about becoming a disease", the "Wen Sima Yan had already usurped Wei" was a nonsense, because Sima Zhao was still alive at that time, until more than a year later, when the Wei Yuan Emperor Cao Huan Xianxi died of illness in August of the second year (265 AD), and his son Sima Yan usurped Wei at the end of the year after his father's death. Of course, the sudden death of the young and powerful Sun Xiu was really unexpected, because not long ago, he had just ordered jiaozhou to be divided into two and become jiaozhou and Guangzhou. Whether he died of a cerebral hemorrhage, a heart attack, or another conspiracy at the court is difficult to investigate.
After the emperor died, the minister of culture and martial arts honored Sun Xiu's wife Zhu Shi as empress dowager according to the custom. At that time, the "international" domestic situation of the Eastern Wu Empire was relatively grim: "internationally", the Shu Han Empire had just collapsed, and the Cao Wei Empire controlled by Sima Shi was looking at the tiger and had great ambitions to unify the world; domestically, there was a rebellion in Jiaozhi County (present-day Hanoi, Vietnam). The loss of the emperor at this juncture naturally inevitably caused a situation of "domestic fear and greed for a long king" in Eastern Wu. At the beginning of Sun Xiu's reign, Sun Hao, the eldest son of the third brother, was made the Marquis of Wucheng. At this time, Zuo Dianjun Wan Yu came out to speak, he had served as Wu Cheng Ling, and had a good relationship with Sun Hao, so he repeatedly recommended Sun Hao to Zhang Bu and Yang Xing, who were in power, saying that he was similar to the "King Huan of Changsha" and "eager to learn and obey the law". King Huan of Changsha was the nickname of Sun Quan's brother Sun Ce, similar to sun Ce, the main founder of the State of Wu, which would be great, and let him inherit the throne, and worry that the State of Wu would not prosper! Zhang Bu and his servant Yangxing went to ask Empress Zhu for instructions, and Empress Zhu said, "I am a widow, how do I know about major state affairs?" As long as Wu Guo was not harmed, the Zongmiao would rely on it. Since the empress dowager did not object, Sun Hao became the fourth emperor of the Eastern Wu Empire after Sun Xiu.
Empress Zhu (234–265)
Let's talk about Sun Xiu's wife Zhu Shi, who is the daughter of Princess Zhu Lu and Sun Xiaohu, that is to say, just as Liu Ying, the Emperor of Han Hui, married the daughter of his sister Princess Lu Yuan, Sun Xiu was both her husband and maternal uncle. When Princess Zhu was framed and killed by Sun Jun, Sun Xiu, the evil king of Lang, believed that the mother's "rebellion" was bound to implicate her daughter, frightening the six gods and no master, so she had to send her wife from Danyang to Jianye to "surrender" in order to make it light and not to involve her husband and children again. Sun Xiu personally sent his wife to the riverside, and the couple "held hands and wept goodbye", probably thinking that this was already a "permanent recipe", right? I don't know if Sun Jun didn't want to be implicated more, or if he didn't want to offend this Evil King of Lang for the time being, or if Sun Luban Sun Dahu still had some brotherly feelings for this sixth brother and said a few good words for this younger sister-in-law? In short, Sun Jun waved a big hand: you still go back to Danyang to reunite with your husband, I am not difficult for you. Zhu Shi was lucky to escape the disaster. After that, the husband became the emperor, he became the empress himself, and the time came to run, and the wealth was extreme. However, with the sudden death of her husband, although the empress was promoted to empress dowager, her good fortune also came to an end - the key is that the current emperor is not her own son, and her position as empress dowager is in jeopardy. Just over a month later, Sun Hao demoted the aunt and cousin Empress Zhu to "Empress Jing", while posthumously honored his father Sun He as "Emperor Wen" and honored his mother He Shi as empress dowager. Zhu's doom was far from over, and in July of the following year, a year after Sun Xiu's death, Sun Hao forced the death of the "Empress Jing". At the beginning of his reign, Sun Hao made all four of Sun Xiu's sons king, and now he killed Zhu Shi and exiled the four dolls to Wu County (present-day Suzhou, Jiangsu); not long after, he did not know what excuse he had found to kill Sun Xiu's two older sons. Sun Xiu's two younger sons are inconvenient to make inferences because the history is unknown.
From this point of view, the fate of the brother emperors, Sun Liang and Sun Xiu's brothers, was not very good.
