Chapter 059: Bad Emperor Sun Hao 2
Sun Hao is Sun Quan's grandson and son of Sun He, a hundred years after Sun Quan, the youngest Sun Liang ascended the throne and was deposed as emperor for six years. Sun Quan www.biquge.info other second son, Sun Hugh, ascended the throne, but died six years later, when Sun Xiu's sons were too young to inherit the throne.
At that time, Prime Minister Pu Yangxing and General Zuo Zhang Bu heard that Sun He's son Sun Hao was decisive and a monarch, so they recommended him to be the fourth emperor of Eastern Wu, opening a different history of Eastern Wu.
Sun Hao's father, Sun He, was the deposed crown prince, and he originally had the opportunity to grasp the throne. Unexpectedly, one of his sisters, Princess Quan, had a discord with Sun He's mother, Mrs. Wang, and deliberately slandered and framed Sun He for plotting misdeeds, with sinister intentions. At that time, Sun Quan, who was old and dizzy, believed in Princess Quan and deposed the crown prince Sun He, and later Sun He was given death.
Since then, as the son of the abolished prince, Sun Hao has been growing up under the supervision of the imperial court, and he has always been terrified, and if he is not careful, his head may fall to the ground. So over time, he was suspicious and suspicious, cruel and unkind, and had a character that would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let go of one.
Later, after Sun Xiu's death, he came and went from time to time and was recommended to be the emperor, since then the feng shui has taken turns, the salted fish has turned over, and Sun Hao's ascension to the throne began to be an example for Ming Jun. Many people don't believe it, right? In the early days of Sun Hao's ascension to the throne, he opened a warehouse to help the poor, reduced the number of palace maids, and released the surplus rare birds and beasts in the palace, and enjoyed with the people, in the eyes of the people and courtiers, it was a rare Ming monarch in a hundred years.
But the good times didn't last long, and he began to expose his brutal, arrogant, and bloodthirsty side, and it can be said that Sun Hao's brutality was outrageous. Sun Hao's murder is more unblinking than anyone else.
Sun Hao grew up under supervision since he was a child, his personality is suspicious and suspicious, and if he wants to be bold, he must be bold, otherwise he would have been attacked to death by rumors. Suspicion and audacity are combined, and Sun Hao doesn't blink an eye when he kills people.
Prime Minister Pu Yangxing and General Zuo Zhang Bu were recommended by them to Sun Hao to ascend the throne, they are Sun Hao's benefactors, but unfortunately Sun Hao did not admit it, and Sun Ce's brutal governance caused the dissatisfaction and remorse of Prime Minister Pu Yangxing and General Zuo Zhang Bu, so Sun Hao stuck them. At that time, Zhang Bu's daughter Zhang Meiren was Sun Hao's harem, because she said "My father was killed by a traitor", so Sun Hao made people stone to death with a hammer. Sun Hao missed Zhang Meiren's beauty, so he took Zhang Bu's other married daughter back to the palace and had fun.
Sun Haocao's primary object of life is of course the ministers, it is said that Sun Hao is addicted to alcohol, but he does not forget to kill people when he drinks. He set up dozens of Huangmen attendants, and during the banquet, he observed the words and expressions behind the minister's back, and the minister would be guilty of talking nonsense after a little drunkenness, and many people lost their lives. The second object of Cao Kan's life is, of course, the harem beauties, Sun Hao's harem is as big as 10,000 people, and he can't sleep and treats them as dolls. He introduced water into the palace and threw him into the water if he was not satisfied with any concubine, so it was a beautiful woman who came in and a corpse who went out.
There are many murder methods, and Sun Hao has many killing methods, such as peeling his face, chiseling his eyes, etc., sawing his head, and so on. The ministers are afraid that in the morning, it may be fine skin and tender meat, and when they come back from work in the evening, the flesh and blood may be blurred and shameless. So much so that the emperors of the Jin Dynasty had heard of his skinning. After he arrived in Luoyang, the Jin Emperor asked him about this.
Sun Hao is brutal by nature, and it is not surprising that he kills people. But there is another reason that cannot be ignored, that is, to crack down on the Jiangdong wealthy families at that time.
Eastern Wu was different from Shu Han and Cao Wei, and the political power of Eastern Wu was divided into the Jiangbei group brought by Sun Ce's crossing to the south and the Jiangdong group local to Eastern Wu. The representative figures of Jiangbei Group are Zhou Yu, Lu Meng, etc., all of whom are enterprising, and they have no foundation in Jiangdong, so they want to expand their territory.
Jiangdong Group is dominated by the four prominent wealthy families of Gu, Lu, Zhu and Zhang in Wu County, and the two families of Yu and He of the Huiji Hao family. They have 100 acres of fertile land, and basically don't want to fight a war or anything, they just want to live in this hometown for the rest of their lives. However, the power was so huge that it threatened Sun Hao's position, and at that time, the senior positions in Eastern Wu were occupied by people from the Jiangdong Hao family, such as Gu Yong in the Gu family as prime minister, Lu Kai of the Lu family, Lu Kang and others held military power and so on.
If Sun Hao wanted to maintain the majesty of the emperor, he had to find ways to achieve balance, so he often had to kill some ministers to make an example of chickens and monkeys.
Sun Hao has a sense of working against the Hao family, for example, He Shao of the Hao family was still forced to speak by Sun Hao after he had a stroke, and his head was sawed off. Lu Kai's wife and children were exiled to Jian'an and so on, but Sun Hao still couldn't eliminate these wealthy clans with his own strength.
The tragedy is that later, the Jin Dynasty army attacked Wu, and these wealthy families were unwilling to die for Sun Hao. And Sima later gave preferential treatment to these wealthy families, allowing them to continue to grow bigger and stronger in Jiangdong. And Emperor Sun Hao was exiled to Luoyang, a stark contrast.
After Sun Hao was captured, Sima Yan drank with him and said, "I heard that you are very good at composing poems, now make a poem to listen to." ”
Sun Hao raised his glass and said: "In the past, I was a neighbor with you, and now I am a minister with you. ”
After Sun Xiu became the monarch, he named Sun Hao the Marquis of Wucheng and sent him to the vassal state to take office. A Xihu man named Jingyang showed Sun Hao and said that his future future was limitless, Sun Hao was very happy but did not dare to leak it to outsiders.
When Sun Xiu died, the Shu Kingdom had just fallen, Zuo Dianjun Wan had done Wucheng Ling before, and had a good personal relationship with Sun Hao, he praised Sun Hao for being discerning and decisive, and diligent and studious, and repeatedly mentioned Sun Hao to Prime Minister Pu Yangxing and Zuo General Zhang Bu.
The two of them thought that it was an eventful time, and the prince was afraid that it would be difficult to protect the country, so it was better to welcome Sun Hao, so they persuaded the queen Zhu to take Sun Hao as the heir, and the Zhu family had no choice but to shed tears and said: "I am a woman, where do I know the worries of the society? As long as the Wu country is not damaged, the temple can rely on it." ”
So the courtiers welcomed Sun Hao as the lord of Wu, and Sun Hao was twenty-three years old at the time. Soon after Sun Hao ascended the throne, he issued an edict to open a warehouse to help the poor, and the palace maids were matched with the people who had no wives, and the birds and beasts in the palace were released into the wild, and the government and the opposition called him the master of the Ming at that time.
But not long after, Sun Hao's true temperament was revealed, and Sun Hao's heir should respect Sun Xiu's queen Zhu as the queen mother as usual, and the ministers had already prepared the queen mother's seal to be sent to the palace. Unexpectedly, Sun Hao deprecatingly called Zhu Empress Jing, but he belittled his father Sun He as Emperor Wen and respected his mother He Ji as the Empress Dowager.
Sun Hao was rough and arrogant, indulging in wine all day long, the court was very disappointed in him, Pu Yangxing and Zhang Bu also said a lot of regrets in private, someone told Sun Hao these complaints, Sun Hao killed Pu Yangxing and Zhang Bu. Sun Hao also forced the Empress Dowager Zhu to die, the funeral was not in the main hall, and a simple hut in the garden was chosen, and the courtiers knew that the Empress Dowager did not die of illness, and they were very painful. Sun Hao sent the four sons of the late lord Sun Xiu to a small city in the state of Wu, and soon sent troops to hunt down the two older ones on the road.
Sun Hao sent the Yellow Gate all over the prefecture and county to select beautiful women for him to enjoy, and the minister's daughter must report once a year, and let him review it first when he is fifteen or sixteen years old, and only those who don't like it are allowed to marry. There are already thousands of beauties in the harem, Sun Hao is still too few, Sun Hao wears the queen's seal to all the beauties in the harem, so that the queen Teng has the name of the queen and no queen.
Sun Hao's concubine instructed his attendants to go to the market to rob the people's property, and Si Shi Zhonglang sent Chen Sheng to Sun Hao's fortunate minister, and he relied on Sun Hao's favor to bring the robbers to justice. The concubine complained to Sun Hao, who was furious and arrested Chen Sheng under the pretense of other incidents, and ordered the warriors to cut off Chen Sheng's head with a red-hot saw and throw the body under the four lookouts. Sun Hao took pleasure in killing, he led the water from the outside into the palace, and the concubines, palace maids, and chamberlains immediately killed and threw them into the water to float away, or peeled off the skin and dug their eyes into holes.
Danyang Diao Xuan sent an envoy to Shu, heard Sima Hui and Liu Chan discuss the fortune calendar and other things, and after coming back, Diao Xuan added oil and vinegar to coax the people and said: "The yellow flag and purple cover appear in the southeast, and the one who finally wins the world is the monarch of Jing Yang." ”
Diao Xuan got the people who surrendered from the Jin State again, and forced them to forge the Shouchun nursery rhyme: "Wu Tianzi should go north." ”
Sun Hao was very happy: "This is the destiny of heaven." ”
Sun Hao then used a car to pull his mother, wife and thousands of people in the harem, and went west to Luoyang along the Niuzhu land road to obey the destiny of heaven. When there was heavy snow on the road, the road collapsed and could not walk, the soldiers wore armor and held the battle, a hundred people pulled a car, and countless people died of cold. The soldiers could not bear it and said, "If you encounter an enemy, turn around and surrender." Sun Hao heard such a complaint and stopped the absurdity of going north to Luoyang.
Those who were loyal to Wu were killed, and those who slandered could be promoted to knighthood, and the government became increasingly corrupt. Sun Hao likes to feast and drink wildly, and every time he has a banquet, he has to force the ministers to get drunk, and there are ten Huangmen Lang waiters standing next to him, as officials who supervise mistakes all day long, monitoring those ministers who do not drink.
After the banquet, the drunken ministers were ordered to expose each other's shortcomings, such as when they had looked down on Sun Hao, when they had gossiped about Sun Hao, etc., and if anyone was unfortunately exposed, Sun Hao would cut him down with a knife. The people who were invited by Sun Hao to participate in the banquet were all frightened, and most of them had to say goodbye to their wives and children with tears before going to the banquet.
There is a servant named Wei Yao, Sun Hao is angry with him because of the matter of repairing history. He stipulated that everyone must drink enough seven liters of wine at the banquet, Wei Yao originally had a very small amount of wine, at most two liters, so he secretly replaced the wine with tea, Sun Hao scolded him for disobeying the order, arrested him and killed him. Another time, after the banquet, Wang Fan was drunk and fell on the main hall, and Sun Hao killed the unconscious Wang Fan.
One year there was a drought in Huiji County, and the people were unable to pay the grain, so Che Jun asked for a loan. Sun Hao said that Che Jun wanted to be a private favor and sent someone to cut off his head, Shangshu Xiong Mu saw Sun Hao's cruel abuse and tactfully admonished, Sun Hao sent someone to kill him with a knife ring, and his body was incomplete after his death.
Wu Shi said that the capital was unlucky in Jianye, Sun Hao moved the capital to Wuchang, and the people of Yangzhou had to send a large number of materials to Wuchang against the current, and the burden was extremely heavy. After moving the capital back to Jianye, he built a new palace Zhaoming Palace for himself and his concubine to enjoy, and officials below 2,000 stone had to go into the mountains to supervise the work and logging.
In order to build the palace, he also ordered the destruction of the military camp to obtain timber, sent a large open garden, and built a temple of earth and mountains. Zhaoming Palace includes dozens of large and small halls, the main hall is called the Chiwu Palace, each hall is carved beams and painted buildings, it is very luxurious, the wall is painted with the large exquisite mural with the content of the fairy clouds. Outside the temple, the earth is built into a mountain, and the mountain is built with towering pavilions, which are decorated with pearls and jade, and are dotted with many strange mountains and stones all around. He also ordered his soldiers to do heavy chores, and even recruited soldiers along the Yangtze River to catch elk for his pleasure.
Sun Hao's temperament is violent, he does not believe in Buddhism, once the attendant who manages the flowers and trees digs a few feet high pure gold Buddha statue in the garden, Sun Hao put the Buddha statue in the toilet, and summons the ministers to water urine for pleasure.
Sun Hao's brutal and absurd rule caused unease among many generals, who surrendered to the Jin state in the north one after another. Emperor Wu of Jin sent Jia Chong as the governor of the capital to go south to destroy Wu, Wang Jun built a building boat in Shu to prepare to go down the river, Wu Yan said to Sun Hao: "The Jin State must have a plan to attack Wu, and should increase the army to build Ping, Jianping will not dare to cross the river if it cannot attack the Jin State." ”
Sun Hao thought that the Yangtze River was as dangerous as gold, and ignored it at all, and when the boat led by Wang Jun arrived at the stone city, Sun Hao had to ask someone to tie his hands behind his back, and carried the coffin to the gate of the Western Jin Dynasty to surrender, Sun Hao, Queen Teng and more than 5,000 beauties in the harem were sent to Luoyang by Wang Jun in the Jin Kingdom.
Danyang Xuanqian's mother was eighty years old, and one day she was taking a bath at home, and while washing, she suddenly turned into a turtle. Her sons quickly closed the doors and windows to protect it, and dug a large pit in the hall and poured it with water, and when the turtle climbed into the pit and played for two days, he stretched his neck and looked out, and when he saw that there was a small crack in the door, he jumped away and ran away, and jumped into a waterhole in the distance, and never returned. This is the same as what changed Huang's mother during the time of Emperor Ling of Han, and it was a precursor to the demise of the Wu Kingdom.
Emperor Wu of Jin did not kill Sun Hao, but gave him the title of Marquis and raised him idlely until death. After the fall of the Wu State, Yu Jun of the Jin Dynasty also specially asked about Li Ren and Sun Hao, who were the servants of the Wu State, who liked to cut people's faces and cut people's feet.
Once Emperor Wu of Jin asked Sun Hao at a banquet: "I heard that people in the south are good at composing "Erru Song", can you compose one?"
Sun Hao was drinking, raised his glass and said to Emperor Wu: "In the past, I was a neighbor with you, and now I am a minister with you. "Sun Hao didn't have the heart to get to this point, dictatorship and servility are actually two sides of the same thing.
Sun Hao took Lu Kai as the prime minister and Lu Kang to guard Jingzhou Jiangling and maintain the military administration of Wu. After the death of Sima Zhao, his son Sima Yan seized the power of Cao Wei, set the capital of Luoyang, and the country was called Jin, known as the Western Jin Dynasty in history. After Sima Yan became emperor, he began to prepare for the attack on Wu, and sent Wang Jun to build a large shipbuilding ship in Yizhou, and confronted the Wu general Lu Kang, who was guarding Jiangling, with Yanghu guarding Xiangyang.
Yanghu extended favors and adopted the policy of demarcating each province and not seeking small profits, which shook the hearts of the people of Jingzhou. After the death of Sun Wu's heavy ministers Lu Kai and Lu Kang one after another, the Jin general Yanghu proposed to attack Wu, but Jia Chong opposed it and gave up. The rebellion in the northwest began to be peaceful, Wang Jun and Du pre-wrote to Sima Yan, thinking that it was time to cut down Wu, Jia Chong, Xun Xun and others thought that the northwest was undecided and opposed, and finally Sima Yan decided to attack Wu on a large scale, which is known as the battle of Jin to destroy Wu.
He took Jia Chong as the governor of the capital, and the army of Wang Jun and Tang Bin in the upper reaches, Du Pre Hu Fen Wang Rong army in the middle reaches, and Wang Hun and Sima Ling troops in the lower reaches advanced in many ways. Sun Hao was in a hurry to appoint Prime Minister Zhang Yi to lead Shen Ying and Sun Zhen to cross the river to resist Wang Hun's army, but they were both defeated and died.
Wang Jun's army cooperated with other Jin armies along the Yangtze River to capture Xiling, Jiangling, Wuchang and Xunyang, and Du Yu also captured the southern part of Jingzhou. Sun Hao saw that the Jin army had surrounded Jianye, and thought that the general trend had gone and surrendered. Sun Wu perished, the Western Jin Dynasty unified the world, so far the Three Kingdoms period ended, entering the Western Jin Dynasty.
