In the thirteenth year of Chiwu (250 AD), The Crown Prince Sun He was deposed, and Sun Quanli's 8-year-old youngest son, Sun Liang, was made crown prince. In April of the first year of Shenfeng (252 AD), Sun Quan died of illness and was posthumously honored as the "Great Emperor", known as Emperor Wu, and the 10-year-old Sun Liang ascended the throne, and changed the era name to "Jianxing" in the same month. Since he was bedridden last winter, Sun Quan knew that he would soon die, so he recruited the general Zhuge Ke as a taifu and asked him to be entrusted with the will to assist the crown prince Sun Liang. After Sun Quan died, the little emperor Sun Liang naturally could not personally manage the state affairs, and the power was naturally in the hands of Zhuge Ke. The following year, Zhuge Ke was killed by Sun Jun, and the real power of the State of Wu fell into sun Jun's hands. Three years later, Sun Jun fell ill and died, and real power fell into the hands of his brother Sun Qiang.
Sun Liang (243–260)
In April of the second year of taiping (257 AD), the 15-year-old Sun Liang came out of the main hall, pardoned the world, and began to pro-government. The newborn calf was not afraid of tigers, he was not willing to be a puppet, he often inquired about the chapters sent by the great general Sun Qiang, and often consulted the archives of the emperor Sun Quan, and said with dissatisfaction to the left and right attendants: "When the former emperor was alive, Qian Gang made a decision, but now everything is decided by the great general, only let him sign a word, and then issue it in the name of the edict." Is this possible? "Of course not, you are the emperor of Heavenly Power, how can you tolerate the dictatorship of the ministers?" So, how can this be changed? Those left and right attendants who are only promised can't help you. Sun Liang had his own idea, he selected 3,000 teenagers over the age of 15 and under the age of 18 from the children of the soldiers, and then selected the "young and courageous people of the children of the generals" to be their commanders, and conducted military training in the imperial garden every day. Sun Liang was clever, he knew that to regain the supreme power that "should have" belonged to him, he could not do without an army loyal to him, and he declared to people: "The reason why I created this army is to let them grow up with me!" Sun Liang's cleverness is also manifested in some details. Once, when eating raw plums, he asked the yellow door official who was accompanying him to go to the Zhongzang Treasury to get some honey, who knew that after the honey was taken, he found that there was rat droppings inside. Sun Liang summoned the Treasurer to inquire, and the Treasurer prostrated his head in fright. Sun Liang asked, "Did the Yellow Gate Official ask you for honey?" The treasurer replied, "I asked for it, but I didn't dare to give it to him without permission." The Yellow Gate Official, however, firmly denied it. Diao Xuan and Zhang Ying played: "The Yellow Gate Official and the Treasury Official have their own opinions, and ask Your Majesty to hand them over to the prison officials for strict interrogation." Sun Liang said, "This is very easy to distinguish, why should we alarm the prison officer again?" When he cut open the rat droppings and found that the inside was dry, he smiled and said to Diao and Zhang: "If the rat droppings have already fallen in the honey, it must be wet inside and out; now that the outside is wet and the inside is dry, it must be that the Yellow Gate Officer has just put it in." The Yellow Gate Officer could not deny it, so he had to prostrate himself and admit that this was his own work in framing the Treasury official.
Sun Qi (chēn) (231 – 18 January 259)
When Sun He was deposed, Princess Quan, in order to maintain her political position, fought with Sun Quan's favorite concubine Lady Pan. Quan Quan's nephew Quan Shang had a daughter, who was very much "loved" by her uncle and grandmother Princess Quan, and often took her to see her father, Sun Quan, and persuaded Sun Quan to be the master and marry her to Lady Pan's beloved Son Liang as his wife - at that time, the younger two were estimated to be under 10 years old, and didn't the young daughter of the whole family become a veritable "child bride"? In the first month of the second year of Sun Liang's ascension to the throne, Lady Quan ascended to heaven one step at a time, and was officially made empress of the Sun Wu Empire by the daughter-in-law of Tong. Five or six years passed in the blink of an eye, and Sun Liang, who was extremely intelligent after the pro-government period, was ready to regain power and become a veritable emperor, so he conspired with his eldest sister Princess Quan and the general Liu Cheng to kill Sun Qiang. At that time, Quan Shang was also a wei general, and although Tai chang was only in charge of sacrifices, the position of wei general was not insignificant, equivalent to the commander of the capital garrison, and the military power was in his hands. Quan Shang's son Quan Ji served as the Yellow Gate Attendant, the Head attendant of the Forbidden Palace. In September of the third year of taiping (258 AD), Sun Liang said to Quanji: "You go back to tell your father and tell him to secretly assemble people and horses, and at an agreed date, Shuo personally leads the Janissaries to the banks of the Suzaku Bridge, surrounds Sun Qi's residence, and uses an edict to tell his subordinates to lay down their weapons, and the purpose will be achieved." However, you must be careful and keep secrets, especially to tell your father, not to let your mother know, because the woman does not know the big thing, she is Also Sun Qiao's cousin, in case of revealing the wind, it will be a mistake. Quan Ji relayed Sun Liang's order to his father, who knew that Quan Shang did not have foresight and was sloppy in his work, or told his wife Sun Shi about this matter, and Sun Shi sent someone to secretly inform his cousin Sun Qiang. Taken aback, Sun Qiang dispatched his troops overnight, attacked and captured Quan Shang, and then beheaded Liu Cheng outside the Canglong Gate, and by dawn, he had surrounded the palace. Sun Liang was furious when he heard the news, jumped on horseback, took a bow and arrow, prepared to fight With Sun Qiao to the death, and said with hatred: "Shuo is the concubine of the Great Emperor, who has reigned for 6 years, who dares to disobey me?" "The court attendants, his right and left cronies, and his nursing mother came forward together, hugged him tightly, and tried to dissuade him from acting rashly. Sun Liang couldn't get out, he was so angry that he sighed even and didn't eat his food, and scolded Quan Hou bitterly: "Your father is so confused and ruined the big thing!" He also sent someone to summon Quan Ji, who said, "My father was not cautious after receiving the edict, and he failed the emperor, so I have no face to see the emperor again!" "Suicide. Sun Qiao also sent people to the royal temple to pray, deposed Sun Liang on the throne, demoted him to the position of the King of Huiji, and then summoned the Wenwu Hundred Officials to say: "The young emperor is sick and faint, and he cannot stay in the position of the king to inherit the Zongmiao Sheji, and I have prayed to the former emperor to depose him." If you disagree, please bring it up. Everyone was frightened, and whoever dared to raise objections without knowing it all said obediently: "We only listen to the orders of the great general." So Sun Qiao sent people to seize Sun Liang's seal, and then wrote down Sun Liang's various "crimes" and prepared to announce them to the whole country, Shangshu Huanyi was killed on the spot because he refused to sign his name, and Quan Shang was also killed by Sun Liang soon after. However, Sun Qi knew that his blood relationship with Emperor Wu's Sun Quan was too distant, and it was impossible to immediately ascend to the emperor's throne. So, who will replace Sun Liang? Someone proposed to support Sun Quan's sixth son, Sun Xiu, the Prince of Lang, but Sun Qiang had to agree.
QuanShang (?) －258）
This Sun Xiu was 8 years older than Sun Liang, and since he became queen, he first stayed in Hulin (present-day Guichi, Anhui) and was later moved by Zhuge Ke to Danyang (present-day Xuancheng, Anhui). Unexpectedly, Danyang was too defensive of Li Heng's snobbery, where to put this degraded prince in his eyes, constantly looking for Qi'er to bully and make him difficult. Sun Xiuhu fell to Pingyang and had to write to the imperial court and beg to move to another county. The imperial court granted his request and relocated him to Huiji (会稽; present-day Shaoxing, Zhejiang). When the emissaries sent by Sun Qiao went to Huiji to welcome him back to the capital, Sun Xiu did not know whether it was a blessing or a curse, and he was uncertain, until the two emissaries repeatedly explained that Sun Liang was deposed, there was no lord in the country, and indeed they were ready to support him as emperor, Sun Xiu also delayed for a day and two nights, and then followed the emissary on the road. When they reached Qu'a (present-day Danyang, Jiangsu), an old man stopped the horse's head and said, "Things will change if they are delayed for too long, and all the people in the world are eager for peace, and I hope that Your Majesty will quickly enter Beijing." Sun Xiu knew that he represented a considerable part of the people's will, so he no longer hesitated, and when he quickly walked to the Yongchang Pavilion outside Jianye City, Sun Qiao had already ordered his younger brother Sun En as the acting chancellor, leading the wen and wu hundreds of officials, and greeting him with the emperor's special royal car and seal symbol. Sun Xiu resigned three times before accepting it. Halfway to the road, I saw Sun Qiang leading 1,000 Janissaries, kneeling on the side of the road to greet him. Sun Xiu hurriedly got out of the car to say goodbye. On this day, Sun Xiu officially ascended the throne, and the era name was changed from Sun Liang's Taiping Three Years to Yong'an First Year. In order to repay Sun Qi, Sun Xiu also made him concurrently serve as a chancellor and Jingzhou Mu as a general, and made his younger brother Sun En the title of Yushi Dafu, the other three younger brothers Sun Gan, Sun Zhao, and Sun Min were all made generals, and all five brothers were also made hou. "One door and five marquises, all canonically forbidden soldiers, the power of the lord, since the Wu kingdom courtiers have not tasted also" ("Three Kingdoms Zhi Wu Shu Sun Qiao Biography").
