Sun Quan is not the lord of Shoucheng Partial Security (Part 1): He is not willing to guard Jiangdong in vain
Sun Quan was the latest emperor in the Three Kingdoms of Wei Shu and Wu, saying that before the emperor, he successively submitted to Cao Cao and Cao Pi and accepted the titles of Marquis of Nanchang and King Wu. Chen Shou believes that he "bent down to endure humiliation" and "had the strangeness of cheating".
As the saying goes, the big husband can bend and stretch, and Sun Quan is such a man. Although he was a vassal, he did not damage the image of his great husband, but bought a living space for Eastern Wu.

Sun Quan submitted to Cao Cao
In the winter of the twenty-fourth year of Jian'an (219), Sun Quan made up his mind to kill Guan Yu and first declared himself a vassal to Cao Cao.
What was Cao Cao's reaction? Should you laugh? This is not the case. According to the "Wei Luo" of Yu Feng, Cao Cao took Sun Quan's letter of submission to the courtiers and told the Qunchen that he was going to roast me on the fire! "It is the son who wants to take the fire of my hearth and commit evil!"
Sun Quan bent over like a big tree, and with Cao's eldest brother covered, Jian'an had the audacity to kill Guan Yu in the spring of the twenty-fifth year (220). This bend also tried to push Cao Cao onto the needle felt "throne" of the usurpers and rebels, making him the target of public criticism, and also threw the "hot hand" Guan Gongtou to Cao Cao.
Cao Cao, of course, was an old traitor, and did not want to be emperor because of Sun Quan's self-aggrandizement as a subject. He believes that if it is true that "the destiny of heaven is in me, I am the King of Zhou Wen." He was not in a hurry to be called emperor, but was willing to be a paver and tree planter who responded to the people, and let his son be the king of Zhou Wu.
Sun Quan declared himself a vassal to Cao Pi
In the winter of the first year of Yankang (220), Cao Pi declared himself emperor and changed his name to Yuan Huangchu. In April of the following year, Liu Bei, who was the Emperor of Han, took the throne and changed his name to Yuan Zhangwu.
Seeing that Wei Shu had been proclaimed emperor, Eastern Wu would also respond. According to Wei Luo, Sun Quan immediately summoned an astrologer to ask how the Eastern Wu Horoscope was, which meant that he had arrogantly claimed the title of emperor. However, considering that his strength is too light to intimidate the public, he plans to first humble himself and show weakness, and then ascend to the throne when he grows stronger.
"If you want to be humble first and then you can be humble, you can be a false favor, and if you want to be humble, you will be pleased, and if you want to be humble, you can be angry with the people, and then you can be arrogant, so you can be deeply distraught and specialize in Wei."
Sun Quan believed that if he was bent on showing weakness to Wei, he could get Wei's protection, even if he broke off diplomatic relations with Shu, he did not have to worry; and then he would inevitably summon a big country to fight, and the lowly vassals would be beaten, which would inevitably arouse the anger of the Eastern Wu people, so that the Eastern Wu would become invincible.
Liu Ye, a minister of the State of Wei, had already seen through everything, and he revealed Sun Quan's thoughts to Cao Pi: Sun Quan's sudden claim to be a vassal must have been because he knew that killing Guan Yu and taking Jingzhou would invite Liu Bei to attack, so he pretended to be a vassal to Wei to seek refuge. When the Shu Han threat was lifted, Sun Quan would inevitably rebel, and it would be difficult to cut down Wu again.
Pei Songzhi's "Biography of Liu Ye" quotes Fu Xuan's "Fu Zi": "(Liu) Ye said to Yue: (Sun) Quan asked for surrender for no reason, and there must be an emergency within. ...... The outside is to do courtesy to China, so that it is known domestically, and the inside is rude to anger His Majesty. His Majesty was furious and raised his army to seek revenge, but Xu told his people: "I am committed to China, I do not love precious goods and treasures, I can contribute at any time, I dare not lose my courtesy, I will be cut down for no reason, I will want to cripple my country, and I will capture the children of my people as servants and concubines." Wu Min had no reason not to believe his words. Believe his words and be angry, up and down with one heart, and the battle will be multiplied tenfold. ”
Liu Ye suggested that instead of accepting Sun Quan's surrender, he should take advantage of the fire and looting to destroy the State of Wu, "but because he is poor, he can attack it." One day to the enemy, several generations of troubles." Cao Pi did not accept it.
Later, Sun Quan himself explained to the ministers why he was humiliated and declared a vassal and refused to rush to be called emperor.
Sun Quan believed that in order for Jingzhou to inevitably tear his face with Liu Bei, who claimed the title of emperor in the west, and Cao Wei intended to help Wu resist Shu, if he did not claim the title of subject, he might offend this northern power, and then "go with the west and suffer enemies in two places" (Yu Pu's "Biography of JiangBiao"), and Eastern Wu would be in a catastrophe.
Sun Quan enjoyed this low posture, "the fun of low bending, the kings seem to be unfinished." After the death of Liu Bei and Cao Pi, Sun Quan's ambitions were finally stretched.
In April of the first year of the Huanglong Dynasty (229), Sun Quan ascended the throne in the southern suburbs.

The Loss of Sun Quan: The Boudoir Court is Confused, Laughing at the Ancient and Modern
Chen Shou's "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" commented that Sun Quan was "indistinguishable from concubines, confused in the boudoir court, and laughing at ancient and modern times." Of course, "concubines are not divided" refers to the abolition of the prince and grandson and the establishment of the young sun and the son of the sun, but what does "boudoir confusion" mean?
(1) The harem competes for favors and abolishes the crown prince
Does "boudoir confusion" mean that the harem of the Wu kingdom does not stop fighting?
Sun Quan's most favored is Lady Bu, who is beautiful and "sexually not jealous", and Princess Sun Deng's adoptive mother, Lady Xu, was deposed because of jealousy. Because she had only two daughters and no sons, Lady Bu was not made empress during her lifetime, but the palace privately called her empress.
Mrs. Bu's two daughters are also not fuel efficient. The eldest daughter was called Lu Ban, the character Big Tiger, first married Zhou Xun, the son of Zhou Yu, Zhou Xun died young, and then remarried Quan Chun, called "Quan Princess" or "Quan Lord"; the second daughter was called Lu Yu, the character Xiao Hu, first married Zhu Zhao, and then remarried Liu Lu, called "Zhu Lord". After Lady Bu's death, Princess Quan was most spoiled by Sun Quan and obeyed her words.
After Sun Deng's death, Sun He was made crown prince, and Sun He's mother Lady Wang was favored by Lady Jing, and Sun Quan wanted to make her empress. However, Lady Wang was angrily reprimanded and punished by Sun Quan for the rumors of the whole princess, and "died in sorrow" (all kinds of "death with sorrow" in the history books were most likely secretly given to death). Princess Quan also supported Sun Ba, the Prince of Lu, and framed Crown Prince Sun He, to Lady Wang's two sons, one of whom was given to death and the other of whom was deposed. Her sister Zhu Lord, because she did not support her in deposing the crown prince Lilu, was also framed to death by her.
After Sun He was deposed, the young Sun Liang was made crown prince, and the mother Lady Pan was made empress, and Lady Pan was filled into the weaving room because of her father's violation of the law, and was favored by Sun Quan, so she was noble, born from a humble origin but "sexually dangerous and jealous", and has been insulting Lady Yuan and other concubines, and the palace people around her are also bitter. When Sun Quan was critically ill, she still wanted to learn from Lü Hou's dictatorship, but unexpectedly she was strangled to death by the palace people in her hospital bed.
If it was only the harem that was jealous and the power struggle was endless, the same was true of Cao Wei's harem, Empress Cao Pizhen and Empress Guo, Cao Rui Guo Yuanhou and Empress Mao, the former were all given death for competing for favors, but Chen Shou did not say that Cao Wei was "confused in the boudoir".
Harem battles, princesses interfering in politics, and abolishing the elderly and young, "concubines do not distinguish between concubines", is "boudoir confusion".
(2) Generations are not divided, disturbing the norm
Disturbing the norm may be the main reference to Sun Quan's "boudoir confusion".
Sun Quan himself married his aunt's granddaughter Lady Xu, and also wanted Lady Xie (Sun Deng's biological mother) to live under Lady Xu, thanking Lady Xie for her depression and early death. Lady Xie was hired by Sun Quan's mother for him, and also "loved and favored", Lady Xu was later deposed because of jealousy, in fact, Sun Quan once again transferred to Lady Bu, and the history books say that "after (Sun) Quan moved, with Lady Jealousy, abolished Wu".
Sun Quan not only did not care about The Rank of Ren and set an example for his son, but also made decisions for his son and did chaotic things.
Sun Quan married Princess Zhu (Sun Quanbu's youngest daughter Lu Yu, Zi Xiaohu) and Zhu Zhao's daughter for the sixth son, Hugh, and Zhu Zhao, that is, he had his son marry his granddaughter, so that Sun Xiu, the uncle, married his niece.
Sun Quan's young son Sun Liang married Lady Quan again, who was the daughter of Sun Jun's brother-in-law Quan Shang, the niece of Princess Quan (Sun Quanbu's eldest daughter Lu Ban, the character Dahu), and Sun Jun was Sun Quan's nephew and Sun Liang's nephew. Sun Liang married his nephew's niece (Sun Liang's grandson), and the nephew suddenly became an uncle, which was also chaotic enough.
According to the generation of the Sun clan, Lady Quan is Sun Liang's grandchild; according to the generation of the whole family, Lady Quan's uncle and grandmother are All Princesses, and Lady Quan is the niece and granddaughter of Princess Quan, who is also Sun Liang's grandchild. Princess Quan saw that her younger brother Sun Liang was the crown prince's candidate, and even persuaded Lady Pan to marry The Grandchildren of the Quan clan for Sun Liang.
Princess Quan also had an affair with her nephew Sun Jun, colluding with each other to kill the deposed crown princes Sun He, Princess Zhu, and Zhu Zhao's two sons. The "Biography of Concubines" said: "Sun Liang ascended the throne, and Sun Jun assisted the government. Junsu is the master of all things. "Flattery" originally refers to flattering people, flattering, acting as subordinates, there is no male and female affairs, but the word flattery is used in the relationship between men and women, and it is always reminiscent. The "Biography of Sun Jun" is written very bluntly: "(Sun Jun) raped the palace people and had an affair with Princess LuBan."
Sun's court is indeed chaotic enough.
