Chapter 083: Continued Atrocities
Sun Hao, as the lord of the state of Wu, only pretended to be a few days after he came to power, and then he was completely revealed, and began an extremely faint and brutal rule, and in the later part of his reign, he still continued to do evil.
He first forced his cousin Sun Xiu to rebel, and then tried to poison his right prime minister Wan Yu and General Zuo Liuping, and persecuted the loyal and upright ministers Lou Xuan, He Shao, Wei Yao and others. In the later period of Sun Hao's reign, Guo Ma rebelled, and Sun Hao finally sent troops to pacify it.
[Continued Atrocities]
In the second year of Jianheng (270), Sun Hao's cousin Sun Xiu served as the former general of Sun Wu and the governor of Xiakou. Sun Hao sent He Ding with 5,000 soldiers to hunt in Xiakou.
Before, there was a saying that Sun Xiu would be calculated sooner or later, and Sun Xiu panicked when he learned about it, and took his wife, children and hundreds of soldiers to the Western Jin Dynasty at night. In December of the same year, Emperor Wu of the Jin Dynasty Sima Yan appointed Sun Xiu as the hussar general, the pastor of Jiaozhou, and the three divisions of Kaifu Yitong, and was knighted as the Duke of Huiji. Sun Hao was furious when he learned that Sun Xiu had been demoted to Jin and changed Sun Xiu's surname to Li.
In the first year of the phoenix (272), Wan Yu, the right prime minister, died of depression and illness because he was condemned by Sun Hao, and his children were moved to Luling. He Ding's adulterous and filthy deeds were reported and beheaded. Sun Hao thought that He Ding's sin was very similar to Zhang Bu, so he changed He Ding's name to He Bu.
According to the "Jiangbiao Biography", when the lord of Wu went to Huali to play, the right prime minister Wan Yu conspired with the right great Sima Ding Feng and the left general Liuping and said: "If the emperor does not come back to Huali, the affairs of the country are important, and we have to return by ourselves." Lord Wu heard their words, because Wan Yu and the others were old ministers, so he restrained and endured and did not do anything. This year, Lord Wu took the opportunity of the meeting to give Wan Yu poisonous wine to drink, and the person who delivered the wine glass secretly reduced the poisonous wine. Lord Wu took the poisoned wine and gave it to Liuping to drink, and Liuping noticed that he took other medicines to detoxify the poison and was able to immortalize. Wan committed suicide and died, leaving him depressed and depressed, and died more than a month later.
In the palace town ban, Lou Xuan is in charge of things in the palace. He cultivated himself and led the people, acted in accordance with the law, and answered earnestly and honestly, and the Lord of Wu gradually became unhappy in his heart, when the prince and the prince He Shao wrote bluntly to advise Sun Hao to choose the virtuous and capable, exile and degrade the traitorous villain, humbly accept advice, abstinence and restraint, be diligent in political affairs, and be vigilant against border enemies. The book table also aroused Sun Hao's jealousy. So the people around Lord Wu framed Lou Xuan and He Shao together, saying that the two of them met, stopped the car and exchanged ears, and then laughed together, slandered and satirized political affairs, as a result, both of them were interrogated and condemned, Lou Xuan was sent to Guangzhou, and He Shao was pardoned and restored to his official position. Soon, he migrated Lou Xuan to Jiaozhi and finally killed him. He Shao later left his post due to illness, and was suspected by Sun Hao of doing it on purpose, so Sun Hao arrested him and locked him in a wine cellar, tortured him more than a thousand, killed him, and his family was exiled to Linhai County. Sun Hao also issued an edict to kill Lou Xuan's descendants.
Wei Yao, whose real name is Wei Zhao, is the heir of Hong, and the Jin Dynasty changed his name to Wei Yao because of Sima Zhao's taboo. After Sun Hao came to power, the people around him catered to Sun Hao's will and said many times that there was a phenomenon of auspicious induction. Sun Hao asked Wei Yao about this, and Wei Yao replied, "It's just something in someone's box." Once, Sun Hao wanted to make a "chronicle" for his father Sun He, but Wei Yao insisted on Sun He's failure to ascend the throne as a basis, and it was only appropriate to set his historical record as a "biography". In this way, Wei Yao was gradually angered by Sun Hao.
Wei Yao was deeply worried about this, and was suffering from illness at the time, and needed to take medicine for medical treatment and nursing, so he claimed to be old and frail, and asked to resign from the second post of waiter and Zuo Guoshi, hoping to complete the book he wrote and hand over the work he was engaged in to others, but Sun Hao did not agree. In the second year of the Phoenix (273), Sun Hao arrested Wei Yao and imprisoned him, and finally ordered Wei Yao to be killed, and exiled Wei Yao's family to Lingling County.
In the second year of the Phoenix (273), Emperor Wu's concubine Sun Hao instructed his attendants to go to the market to rob the people's property, and Zhonglang, who was in charge of the market trade, was Chen Shengyuan, Sun Hao's favorite minister, and he captured the looters and brought them to justice. Concubine Ai told Sun Hao, Sun Hao was furious, arrested Chen Sheng under the pretense of other incidents, ordered the samurai to cut off Chen Sheng's head with a red-hot saw, and threw his body under the four watchtowers. In the same year, Sun Hao changed the title of King Huaiyang to King Lu, King of Dongping to King of Qi, and canonized nine sons as kings of Chen Liu, Zhangling and so on. So there were eleven kings, and each king gave three thousand soldiers.
In the third year of Emperor Fenghuang (274), Mrs. Zuo Wang died. Lord Wu was sad and missed, did not go out for several months, and the funeral was very grand. So there were rumors that one of the Marquis Sun Fen of Zhang'an and Sun Feng, Marquis of Shangyu, would become the emperor, and Sun Hao would kill both of them.
Yuzhang Taishou Zhang Jun listened to the rumors and cleaned the grave of Sun Fen's mother. Linhai Taishou Xi Xi wrote a letter to Huiji Taishou Guo Dan to criticize the national politics, Guo Dan just told Xi Xi's letter, but did not mention the rumors circulating among the people. Sun Hao was furious because of this, he split Zhang Jun, and Xi Xi and Zhang Jun were wiped out. Guo Dan could not have escaped the catastrophe, but his meritorious Cao Shao Chou committed suicide to testify for him and left his last words. When the officials were at the funeral, they told Shao Chou's last words, so Sun Hao exempted Guo Dan from the death penalty and exiled Jian'an.
In the first year of Tianxi (276), Huiji Taishou Che Jun and Xiangdong Taishou Zhang Yong couldn't pay the money, so they were killed in the location and declared their heads to the counties. After Shi Dan's rebellion, someone framed Sun Kai, the governor of Beijing, in front of Lord Wu and said: "Sun Kai did not go to conquest Shi Dan on time, he was watching from two ends and stepping on two boats." Lord Wu accused Sun Kai many times and summoned him to serve as the general of Gongxia Town and Hussars. Sun Kai was suspicious and scared from then on, this year, he took his wife and children to the Jin Dynasty, and the Jin Dynasty appointed him as the general of the chariot and cavalry, and was named the Marquis of Danyang.
In the third year of Tianji (279), Guo Ma rebelled, Guo Ma was originally the governor of Hepu Taishou Xiuyun, Xiuyun was too punctual in Guilin and lived in Guangzhou, and first sent Guo Ma to lead 500 soldiers to pacify the various Yidi. After Xiuyun's death, the army was redistributed, and Guo Ma was dissatisfied with separating from the old soldiers. Sun Hao was checking the household registration in Guangzhou at this time, so Guo Ma and his subordinates He Dian, Wang Family, Wu Shu, Yin Xing and others agitated the names of the soldiers, gathered the masses, and attacked and killed the governor of Guangzhou. Guo Ma claimed to be the military general of the two states of Jiaoguang and Guangzhou, Yin Xing was appointed as the assassin of Guangzhou, and Wu Shu was appointed as the Taishou of the South China Sea. Guo Ma sent He Dian to attack Cangwu, and the royal family attacked Shixing.
Sun Hao sent the Zhennan general Teng Xun to lead 10,000 men to attack from the east and engage Yin Xing, the general of Guo Ma, in Shixing County. Guo Ma marched into Nanhai County again, killed Liu Luo, and expelled Xu Qi, the assassin of Guangzhou. Sun Hao also sent Xu Ling Governor Tao Jun to send 7,000 people from the West Road, Jiaozhou Mu Tao Huang troops and Hepu and Yulin county soldiers to attack Guo Ma with the Eastern and Western Army, conquer and punish Guo Ma.
According to the "Spring and Autumn Period of the Han Dynasty", there were rumors at that time: "The state of Wu will be defeated, the army will start from the south, and it will be Gongsun who will destroy the state of Wu." Sun Hao heard the rumor that all the people surnamed Gongsun from the ministers to the soldiers would be exiled to Guangzhou, and they would not be allowed to stay near the Yangtze River. ”
