Sun He often said that the talented and learned people of the world should explore and study and learn knowledge, practice and practice martial arts, so as to be competent in the affairs of the world, and only know how to play chess to hinder their careers, which is not an enterprising attitude.

Once, Sun He invited the ministers to his home and entertained the ministers with a large banquet.

During the banquet, when it came to playing chess, He Ji said:

"This is a waste of time and useless in hindering affairs, and it is not an act that can be used to promote virtue, dedicate oneself to merit, and accumulate merit.

"Moreover, people with lofty ideals cherish their time and cherish their energy, and the greatest wish of a gentleman is that his merits are as noble as a mountain, and his deeds are bright and shining, and he is ashamed not to be included in such a rank.

"Heaven and earth are long, and people are between heaven and earth, like a white horse passing through a gap, age quickly ages, and youth is gone.

"Isn't it good for a person's reputation and conduct to follow the path of morality by putting an end to unprofitable desires that lie in those things that cannot be eliminated by human desires?

"Of course, people's desires can't be without playfulness and entertainment, and the hobby of playfulness and entertainment also lies in drinking, feasting, books, piano, riding and shooting, etc., so why do you have to play chess, and then feel happy?"

After saying this, the ministers looked at each other, but they didn't expect that this little woman would have such a high opinion!

Sun He was also a little surprised, he didn't expect He Ji to talk so loudly, although it was consistent with his usual arguments, but it was beyond his expectations to say it so methodically and rise to such a height.

Concubine Zhang during the banquet also cast an approving look.

So, Sun He ordered the eight people sitting in the seat to write a paper that judged the behavior of playing chess to correct the malaise of the times.

After returning home, Wei Yao (Yao Yao), the middle concubine, wrote a paper and played it, and Sun He showed the article to the ministers to circulate.

At that time, Cai Ying liked to play chess, and many people who served in his official office learned to play chess with him, so Sun He used this method to persuade him.

Sun He has a twin brother named Sun Ba.

Sun Quan liked him as much as he liked Sun He, and when Sun He was crowned the crown prince, Sun Ba was named the king of Lu.

Give them both the same treatment.

When they were young, they ate and lived in the same house, but now that they are older, they have the same rank of reward, residence, servant, and teacher.

Later, the ministers discussed that the prince and the vassal king should be different.

Sun Ba began to resent Sun He from then on.

Sun Ba actively made friends with well-known people, and once personally visited the official office to get close to the officials.

Get Quan Chong (琮có

g) The second son Quan Ji, Wu Jing's grandson Wu An, Sun Fu's grandson Sun Qi, Zhuge Ke's son Zhuge Xuan, and the talented son Yang Zhu and other young people competed for attachment.

King Lu and the prince's entourage hated and slandered each other, and eventually spread to the court. Chongchen Buzhi (骘zhì), Lü Dai, Quan Chong (琮có

g), Lü Ju and Sun Hong also supported him.

In the seventh year of Chiwu (244 AD), Sun Quan heard the news of the discord between Sun Ba and Sun He, so he explicitly forbade them to associate with officials and let them concentrate on learning.

But Sun Ba still kept secretly making more friends with ministers.

Later, Sun He had a crisis in the status of the crown prince because Mrs. Wang was falsely accused by Princess Quan.

Sun Ba's party coveted the position of the prince even more, especially most of the guests of King Lu led by Quan Ji and Yang Zhu were evil and unrighteous, and wanted to use this to seek to seize the throne, slandering Sun He and the prince's faction, hoping to make Sun Quan abolish Sun He and establish Sun Ba, and the prince's family often died when they competed with the Lu Wang party.

Sun He's mother, Mrs. Wang, had the deepest contradiction with the emperor's eldest daughter, Princess Quan, who was afraid that Sun He would be unfavorable to herself after he ascended the throne, and also participated in framing the crown prince Sun He.

Sun Quan was seriously ill and bedridden, and sent Sun He to the Taimiao (Huanwang Temple) to worship, and Sun He's uncle Zhang Xiu, the crown princess Zhang, was very close to the Taimiao, so he invited Sun He to his house for a visit.

Princess Quan sent people to follow and monitor, and took the opportunity to slander Sun Quanjin that the prince was not in the temple, but went to the concubine's house to plan power affairs.

He also said that Mrs. Wang saw that the emperor was seriously ill, and her face showed a happy look, and Sun Quan learned that he scolded Mrs. Wang, and Mrs. Wang died of anxiety.

The prince's favor was diminishing day by day, and he obviously felt that his father was not as good to him as before, and he was afraid that he would be abolished, so he asked He Ji for advice.

He Ji thought for a while and said, "You invited King Lu to our house, and I used my three-inch tongue to persuade King Lu to reconcile your brother." ”

Sun He looked at He Ji obliquely and said, "Like Liu Bao and Ding Yan (Yan ya

Like? ”

"It should be better persuaded than the two of them," said Ho Ji, "because you are brothers, born of the same mother, and twins of heaven and earth." ”

Sun He shook his head.

He Ji was anxious, she said, "You just invite King Lu here, and you don't have to worry about the rest." ”

Sun He still shook his head and sighed.

Whether Sun He invited Sun Ba or not, it can't be fictionalized here, because there is not a trace of spoilers in this regard in the literature.

In short, King Sun Ba of Lu did not go to the home of the crown prince Sun He, on the contrary, King Lu's desire to seek the position of the crown prince was even stronger, Quan Ji and Yang Zhu were the henchmen of King Lu, and they slandered the prince Sun He in front of Sun Quan every day.

Sun Quan hesitated for several years, and finally put Sun He under house arrest.

So, the hussar general Zhu Ju and Shang Shufu shot Qu Huang and led many generals to smear mud on their heads, tie themselves up, and go outside the palace gate for several days to intercede for Sun He.

Sun Quan ascended to the White Jue and watched, very disgusted by this behavior. Reprimanding Zhu Ju, Qu Huang, etc. is vexatious.

Sun Quan planned to abolish Sun He and appoint Sun Liang as the crown prince, and it was not difficult for the governor Chen Zheng and the five battalion governors Chen Xiang to play, citing the historical facts that Jin Xiangong killed Shen Sheng and established Xi Qi, which led to the chaos of the Jin Kingdom.

Zhu Ju and Qu Huang also stubbornly admonished.

Sun Quan was furious, beheaded Chen Zheng and Chen Xiangman, dragged Zhu Ju and Qu Huang into the main hall, beat him with a hundred rods, and finally exiled Sun He to his hometown, and dozens of ministers were killed and exiled because of their advice.

People feel wronged for them.

Sun Quan intended to recall Sun He in his twilight years, but it did not succeed because Princess Quan and others obstructed him.

In the thirteenth year of Chiwu (250), Sun Quan abolished Sun He, gave Sun Ba to death, and renamed Sun Liang as the crown prince in November of the same year.

In the first month of the second year of Taiyuan (252), Sun Quan named Sun He as the king of Nanyang and sent him to live in Changsha.

In April of that year, Sun Quan died, and Zhuge Ke took charge of the government.

Zhuge Ke is Concubine Zhang's uncle. Concubine Zhang sent Huangmen Chen Qian to Jianye Shangshu Middle Palace and extended greetings to Zhuge Ke.

When Chen Qian left Jianye, Zhuge Ke said to him: "Tell Concubine Zhang for me, and I will definitely let her surpass others at that time." ”

These words are quite meaningful. And because Zhuge Ke had the idea of moving the capital, he sent people to repair the palace in Wuchang, and some people rumored that he wanted to welcome Sun He. In 253, Zhuge Ke was killed, and Sun Jun deprived Sun He of the king's seal ribbon because of this incident, exiled him to Xindu, and sent an envoy to give him suicide.

Sun He said goodbye to Concubine Zhang and He Ji, and Concubine Zhang said: "I will follow you no matter how good or bad it is, and I can't live alone in the world." She also committed suicide. He Ji put the sword on her neck, and thought about it, no, I'm going to die too, who will take care of these orphans? I can't die.

So, He Ji chose not to die.

After several tosses, He Ji's son Sun Hao became the emperor again, ascended the throne in August, and posthumously called his father Emperor Wen in September, and respected his mother He Ji as the queen mother. Getting this news, He Ji sighed and said, "People, people, people......"
