Chapter 068: Emperor Wu in History

Sun Quan led the troops militarily and steadily, excelled diplomatically, was good at balancing politically, and opened up Jiangnan and developed sea routes economically. But Sun Quan was also at fault in his later years, and made unforgivable mistakes in Liaodong, the prince and other things.

[Dizzy old age]

Sun Quan obviously became dizzy in his later years, just like Cao Rui back then, he also began to be superstitious about those crooked ways, not only once sent people to the sea to look for immortals, but later believed in a "god man" called Wang Biao, and finally this god man actually ran away.

Earlier, Sun Quan once debated immortals with Zhang Zhao, Yu turned his finger at Zhang Zhao and said: "You are all dead corpses, and you are still debating immortals, how can there be immortals in the world!" And Yu turned to offend Sun Quan not once or twice, Sun Quan finally banished him to Jiaozhou.

Later, there was a god in Luoyang County, Linhai County, who called himself Wang Biao, who was circling among the people, eating and talking was no different from ordinary people, and people could not see the god attached to Wang Biao. And there was also a maidservant named Spinder, who accompanied him. In the first year of Taiyuan (251), Sun Quan sent Li Chong, a Zhongshulang, to greet Wang Biao with a letter from the auxiliary general Luoyang Wang. Wang Biao appeared with Li Chong, and talked with Li Chong and the county guards and county commanders present, but no one could argue with him. The mountains and rivers he had experienced were very numerous, and he often made his maidservants and the gods attached to him look and hear. In the autumn and July, Li Chong accompanied Wang Biao to meet him, and Sun Quan built a residence for him outside the Canglong Gate, and asked his close ministers to send him wine and food several times. Wang Biao's prediction of some small things about floods and droughts is often very effective. After the death of Empress Pan. The generals and officials went to Wang Biao many times to ask for blessings, but Wang Biao fled.

【Sun Quan's Three Faults】

Sun Quan personally thinks that there are three major faults in history, the first is the matter of Liaodong, the second is the dispute between the two palaces, and the third is the aftermath (the prince and the auxiliary minister).

Sun Quan is too confident in the matter of Gongsun Yuan in Liaodong, after he successfully played Liu Bei and Cao Pi successively, he may feel that he is already super god in diplomacy, like the little Gongsun Yuan should be able to capture him, so he did not consider it from the position of Gongsun Yuan, but the result was that he was killed by Gongsun Yuan, and he couldn't save face.

And the dispute between the two palaces can be said to be one of Sun Quan's biggest "masterpieces", Sun He and Sun Ba can become brothers and become enemies and Sun Quan's connivance is inseparable, and the matter should have ended after determining the prince as Sun He, but Sun Quan later did not set up a queen, and made Sun Ba the only prince, and the treatment of his two sons was basically the same, which made it clear that the two sons fought in the ring, and the result was almost ten years, almost all the core ministers were involved, and the government of Wu was made into a miasma. There is also a deep rift left within the Sun family, all of which are caused by Sun Quan.

and Sun Liang, the third prince of Sun Quan's last establishment, he is dying, and he dares to stand young without standing up, and let a child less than ten years old be his heir, Cao Rui's consequences of establishing Cao Fang are in front of him, Sun Quan's situation at that time was far inferior to Cao Rui back then.

In terms of the selection of auxiliary ministers, Sun Quan chose Zhuge Ke as the main candidate, and Zhuge Ke was indeed the desired candidate at that time. First of all, Zhuge Ke himself is indeed capable and has military exploits, and he still has the shadow of Zhuge Liang, the prime minister of Shu Han, and Lu Xun, the former prime minister of Sun Wu.

Zhuge Ke is the eldest son of Zhuge Liang's brother Zhuge Jin, and after Lu Xun's death, Zhuge Ke finally succeeded him in Wuchang, and in history, Lu Xun was the first person to be in charge of Sun Wu, and Zhuge Liang was the first person to support the entire Shu Han alone, so in the discussion of Sun Wu's government and the opposition, Zhuge Ke is likely to be regarded as a combination of Zhuge Liang and Lu Xun, because Sun Quan made the government and the opposition turbulent in his later years, so at this time, everyone hopes that a wise and martial savior will clean up the situation and open a new era, and everyone's hope falls on Zhuge Ke.

Maybe others don't know what Zhuge Ke is actually like, but Sun Quan, as a monarch, knows, he clearly knows that Zhuge Ke's character is not suitable, and finally entrusts Sun Liang to Zhuge Ke. Some people may say that Sun Quan just conformed to the will of the people, but how did Sun Quan not conform to the will of the people on the issue of Liaodong, the queen and the crown prince back then, and Sun Wu didn't seem to be a democracy at that time.

And the second among the five auxiliary ministers is still Zhongshu Ling Sun Hong, in history Sun Hong is an out-and-out sinister villain, and there is no record in the existing information that he is a clan, so Sun Hong may not be a clan like Sun Shao, the former grandson of Wu Wangxiang. However, this person is very trusted by Sun Quan, and in history, he killed the former prime minister Zhu according to Sun Quan without punishing him, and finally let him assist Sun Liang with Zhuge Ke and others, which is obviously not a qualified auxiliary minister.

【Sun Quan's Gradient】

Historically, Sun Quan and Liu Chan were the two longest-reigning monarchs, Sun Quan reigned as a prince for 53 years, and Liu Chan reigned for more than 40 years.

Sun Quan was greatly affected by the defeat of Chen Deng in the early days, Zhang Zhao and others may have been because of this matter did not support him at the beginning, and Cao Cao and Liu Biao were also big threats to the outside, so Sun Quan worked diligently at the beginning of his reign, because he did not have enough prestige, and had to rely on the help of these Jiangdong ministers.

Later, Jiangdong rose and occupied the land of Sanzhou, and Sun Quan's position was also stable, at this time the pressure on Sun Quan was released, and the external attack was insufficient, but it was more than enough for self-preservation, and he was older, Sun Quan began to return to power, and therefore began to degenerate and lose his original vigilance.
