Text/Huan Da Sima (桓大司馬).
In the first year of Eastern Wu Yuanxing (264), Sun Hao ascended the throne under the support of his retainers Puyang Xing and Zhang Bu. As soon as he changed the harsh government since Sun Quan, treated the people kindly, opened a warehouse to help the poor, released the palace women, and abolished the hunting grounds, he won the hearts of the people for a while, and the praise was overwhelming, and he soon sat firmly on the throne.
Eastern Wu was full of joy, thinking that he had obtained a holy king.
However, behind the gentle smile of this saint, a pair of cold eyes were scanning two groups: the Quanchen Group and the Jiangdong Clan.
Sun Hao was as brutal as Sun Ce
As the son of the former crown prince sun and son who was deposed and killed, Sun Hao in his early twenties has lived a precarious and fearful life for more than ten years, and has been struggling to survive in a dangerous environment since he was a child, making him sensitive to power to the point of perversion. It was hard to fall from the sky for a throne, and he could not tolerate any threat to his power.
Therefore, all those who are a threat to his power, or a potential threat, are the fiercest enemies and must be eliminated in the most decisive and ruthless way.
Since the death of Sun Quan in Eastern Wu, the political situation has been chaotic, and it has become a tradition to be partial to the power of the courtiers. Sun Jun and Sun Qiang, who bullied the emperor needless to say, even if the Wujing Emperor Sun Xiu withdrew the power, due to his weak personality, he still had a lot of appeasement for the rising power ministers Puyang Xing and Zhang Bu.
Sun Xiu once liked to discuss learning with the scholar Wei Zhao and others, but Zhang Bu, who was in power, did a lot of bad things, and was afraid that Wei Zhao and others would expose it, so he tried all kinds of excuses to prevent Sun Xiu from getting close to them. All these excuses were seen through by Sun Xiu, but in order to take into account the feelings of Following His Own Zhang Bu before taking the throne, Sun Xiu actually endured it and never discussed learning with Wei Zhao and others from then on.
Zhang Bu was also encouraged, and even more bold, after Sun Xiu's death, he actually took it upon himself not to appoint his son, but instead established Sun Hao with Puyang Xing, as a hero of the emperor, not to mention his arrogance.
Sun Hao, who had just taken the throne, was a smart man, and his strength was not enough, so he pinched his nose and endured.
In just two months, Sun Hao has established a reputation in the sky with a series of catwalks. With the stabilization of the throne, Sun Hao's domineering spirit was exposed, and he did not give much face to Puyang Xing and Zhang Bu.
The two of them regretted it, but Sun Hao had endured it for so long, and was about to try the knife on them, but he wouldn't give them the chance to regret it. Soon, the two auxiliary ministers left behind by the previous dynasty became ghosts under the sword, and the young Sun Hao suddenly threatened Jiangdong.
But the threat remains, if he makes a fool of himself.
In the winter of the third year of Jianheng (271), Sun Hao's troops went out of Huali to prepare to cross the river from Niuzhu and attack Jin on a large scale. However, he sent troops this time because he listened to the flickering of the god stick and thought that he was going to enter Luoyang, so he brought the old lady, the harem and the honor guard with him, making it more playful.
It was cold, the roads were crumbling, the soldiers had to wear armor, hundreds of people in groups, dragging the emperor's family's cart to hard, cold and tired, one by one, angry, complaining one after another, saying that when they met the enemy, they would directly turn against each other.
The soldiers were like this, and the civilian generals were also extremely dissatisfied with this kind of childlike dispatch. Ding Feng, the only surviving veteran general of Sun Quan's era, Wan Yu, the right chancellor who supported Sun Hao's meritorious service, and the general Liu Ping unanimously believed that Sun Hao's visit was to send the Eastern Wu army to death, and if Sun Hao insisted on going his own way, they would depose the emperor and establish another one.
These things were known to Sun Hao.
A veteran general, a minister, the strength is not small, coupled with the change in the military's heart, Sun Hao very cleverly decided to be a class master, and very cleverly decided to put up with things first.
Only a veteran like Ding Feng could restrain Sun Hao
It was not until the following year, when Ding Feng, who had great prestige in the army, died, and Eastern Wu defeated the Jin army in the Battle of Xiling, and Sun Hao's reputation soared, so that he settled the account after the autumn, suddenly turned his face, and wanted to poison Wan Yu and Liu Ping with poisonous wine. Who knows that the person who sent the poisoned wine to Wan Yu secretly reduced the amount, and Liu Ping found that the wine was poisonous and took the antidote (it seems that the family often prepared it), these two actually did not die.
However, although he did not die, he found that Sun Hao wanted his own life, and the two of them also knew that there was nothing to run for, and they were also very conscious, Wan Yu committed suicide, Liu Ping depressed himself to death, Sun Hao exiled Ding Feng's family again, this account was calculated so clearly, and no one dared to move Sun Hao's brain again.
But this is not enough, the source of power is also the clan, even if these clans have no ambitions, but their identity is a threat in itself. Sun Hao, the victim of the dispute between the two palaces and the fratricide, did not care about any family affection, and he would never be soft on killing his relatives.
In the first year of Ganlu (265), Sun Hao, disregarding the virtue of abdicating the throne, forced the death of Zhu Shi, the widow of Sun Xiu, the emperor of Wujing, and killed the two older of Sun Xiu's four sons.
In the first year of Baoding (266), the mountain thief robbed Sun Hao's younger brother Sun Qian as emperor. Wu Jun broke the mountain thieves, and Sun Hao poisoned Sun Qian and his mother and son to death.
In the second year of Jianheng (270), Sun Hao was too sad because of the death of his favorite concubine, and did not go out for several months, and the people thought that he was dead, and it was rumored that his uncle Sun Fen or his cousin Sun Feng (Sun Ce's grandson) would take the throne. Sun Hao came back to God and executed Sun Fen and all five of his sons, and Sun Feng was also executed.
Sun Hao killed many uncles and brothers
The situation of the dictatorship of the powerful ministers in Eastern Wu since Sun Quan's death was completely ended by a series of massacres by Sun Hao, which was simple and crude, but effective. Sun Hao's rule became more and more stable, and his authoritarian power directly pursued Sun Quan, so he naturally planned to stride forward to a higher pursuit.
