Sun Quan was the first emperor of the Three Kingdoms of Wu, an early wise shenwu who inherited the inheritance of his father and brother, and once united with Liu Bei to defeat the powerful Cao Cao in the Battle of Chibi, Dingzu Jiangdong, and appointed the sages Zhou Yu, Lu Su, Lü Meng, and Lu Xun as a generation of Ming lords, however, in his later years, Sun Quan became a little strange.
Especially on the issue of choosing an heir, Sun Quan has repeatedly done strange things, and has also killed many people, even killing his own sons.
Sun Quan had seven sons, the eldest Son Deng, the second Son, Sun Wei, the feudal Marquis of Chang; the third son, the third son, the fourth son, the King of Fenglu; the fifth son, Fen, the King of Fengqi; the sixth son, Hugh; and the seventh son, Liang.
In the beginning, according to the feudal system, the eldest son succeeded to the throne, and Sun Quan made the eldest son Sun Deng the crown prince, however, Sun Quan lived a long life, but his son Sun Deng was not blessed, short life, Four Years of Chiwu (241), Sun Deng died, only thirty-three years old, died young, Sun Quan cried a lot.
After the death of the eldest son Sun Deng, Sun Quan made his third son and crown prince.
Why didn't Sun Quan make a second son? Because Sun Wei also had a short life, he died in the first year of Jiahe (232), at the age of twenty, earlier than the death of the crown prince Sun Deng, so Sun Quan could only establish a third son.
However, after Sun He was made crown prince, the fourth son, Sun Ba, the Prince of Lu, disobeyed, and from the fifth year of Chiwu (242), Sun Ba, who had been coveting the position of crown prince, wanted to keep Sun He down, and he replaced him, so there were frequent conflicts between Sun He and Sun Ba over the issue of crown prince.
The chancellors were also divided into two factions, Lu Xun, Gu Tan, Wu Cang, Zhu Zhao, Zhuge Ke, and others supported Crown Prince Sun He, while Bu Qi, Lü Dai, Quan Chun, Lü Zhao, and Sun Hong supported Sun Ba, the Prince of Lu.
Sun Ba, the king of Lu, because of his attempt to take the position of crown prince, became more and more intense, and he instructed his henchmen Quan And Yang Zhu to slander the crown prince Sun He in front of Sun Quan every day, and every day he said bad things about the prince, and he could not stop these people from bombing in turn.
Crown Prince Sun He's supporters, the general Zhu Zhao, shangshu servant Qu Huang, and others, saw that the prince was under house arrest, and seeing that he was about to lose his position, he was also anxious, and as soon as his brain was hot, he made a very crazy move, leading many soldiers to smear mud on their heads, making them dirty, and tied themselves up, kneeling outside the palace gate every day, interceding for the prince, and the whole court was in a miasma of smoke and chaos.
Sun Quan could not stand being disturbed like this for a long time, and he was very disgusted with this kind of behavior, and repeatedly reprimanded Zhu Zhu and Qu Huang and others.
The Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms records that Lu Wangba coveted a lot, and Lu Xun, Wu Yue, Gu Tan and other numbers of Chen Shishu's righteousness, which was inalienable, Quan Ji and Yang Zhu were the lu wang ba's party, and they were worried about Rixing. Yue Sui was imprisoned, and Tan migrated to the prefecture. Quan Shen yin for many years, and then claustrophobic and. Therefore, the hussar generals Zhu Zhao and Shangshu Shu led the generals to tie themselves up and ask for peace for several days. Quan Dengbai saw that it was very evil, and there was nothing wrong with it, such as edicts and shaking.
At this time, Chen Zheng, the governor of the Five Battalions, and Chen Xiang, the governor of the Five Battalions, advised Sun Quan on the example of Jin Xiangong's killing of Shen Sheng and Li Xiqi, which led to the great chaos in the Jin state, in an attempt to make Sun Quan change his mind, and Zhu Zhao and Qu Huang also stubbornly kept advising, like flies, buzzing and flying, disturbing every day. In the end, Sun Quan was furious, presumably collapsing, and immediately beheaded Chen Zheng and Chen Xiang's entire family, dragged Zhu Zheng and Qu Huang outside the palace, beat him with a staff, and opened his flesh, and as many as dozens of his courtiers were killed and exiled for advice.
The Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms records that the power wanted to abolish and Li Liang, and there was no difficulty in supervising Chen Zheng and Chen Xiang, the governor of the Five Battalions, wrote a letter saying that the Jin Dynasty had killed Shen Sheng, Li Xi Qi, and the Jin State was disturbed, and according to it, Huang Gu continued to advise. Quan was furious, the clan cursed Zheng, Xiang, according to, and Huang led into the temple, a hundred rods, and even migrated to the old house, and the group of priests sat on the advice of a dozen people. The crowd has been wronged.
In the thirteenth year of Chiwu (250), Sun Quan could not bear it any longer, deposed the crown prince Sun He, put Sun Ba, the prince of Lu, to death, and in November of the same year, replaced his youngest son Sun Liang as crown prince.
It is worth mentioning that Lu Xun, the pillar of Eastern Wu Optimus Prime, who was in and out of the picture, was also sent by Sun Quan to deeply reprimand him many times, and Lu Xun was forced to die because of this.
Sun Quan, the wise and divine master of the generation, did not expect that in his later years he would become so confused, handle problems too arbitrarily, and cause such serious consequences, which is lamentable.
