In history, Sun He and Sun Ba's second palace dispute was obviously the result of Sun Quan's indulgence, and he severely suppressed the power of the local clans in Jiangdong in this party dispute, but in the end, Sun Quan also obviously got rid of it, and in order to stabilize the situation, Sun He and Sun Ba had to be completely abolished, and other sons were replaced as princes.

[Suppression of the Koto clan]

After the founding of Sun and Wu, the Jiangdong clan developed rapidly, Lu Xun became the general, located above the three dukes, the first commander of Eastern Wu, and Gu Yong became the prime minister, the head of Jiangdong civil officials.

In the end, although Sun Quan did not explicitly suppress the Huaisi group, but after Lu Meng, he was led by Lu Xun militarily, and after the death of Prime Minister Sun Shao, he refused the suggestion of Zhang Zhao recommended by hundreds of officials to Gu Yong, which can be clearly seen that Sun Quan is using the power of the local clans in Jiangdong to fight against the Huaisi group.

However, after these years, the Jiangdong clan has become bigger, and the Lu family, the Gu family, the whole family and other Wu county clans are all powerful, which has aroused Sun Quan's jealousy, and these families are entrenched in Jiangdong and are not easy to deal with. After the death of the eldest son Sun Deng, Sun Quan almost deliberately let the third son and the fourth son fight in the ring, and his purpose was probably to find an excuse to suppress these Jiangdong clans.

At that time, Cao Rui and Zhuge Liang had both died, Sun Wu's external environment was relatively stable, and Sun Quan did have the capital to start dealing with some internal problems.

Historically, the main ministers involved in the dispute between the two palaces were the princeling's prime minister Lu Xun, Taichang Gu Tan, Zuo general Zhu Ju, Weibei general Zhuge Ke, Huiji Taishou Teng Yin, Dadu Governor Shi Ji, Shangshu Ding Mi, etc., while the Lu Wang Party had hussar general Bu Qi and Zhennan general Lu Dai, Wei general Quan Cong, Yue cavalry captain Lu Yi, Zhongshu Ling Sun Hong and others.

Among these people, Prime Minister Lu Xun, Taichang Gu Tan, General Zuo Zhu Ju, General Wei Quan Cong, and Dadu Governor Shi Ji were all from the Wu County clan and belonged to the representatives of the local forces in Jiangdong, and they were also hit the hardest, while the others basically did not receive any punishment.

From the perspective of time, there were many people involved in the dispute between the two palaces at the beginning, including Gu Tan, Gu Cheng, Yao Xin, Lu Yin, Wu Cang, Zhang Xiu and many others, but after Lu Xun's death in the eighth year of Chiwu (245), basically no one was demoted or executed for this, until Sun Quan abolished Sun He five years later.

After Lu Xun's death, Sun Quan took the hussar general Buqi as the prime minister, the chariot general Zhu Ran as the left big Sima, and the Wei general Quan Cong as the right big Sima. Jingzhou is divided into two parts: with Zhennan general Lu Dai as the general, supervising the right part, from the west of Wuchang to Bopuqi; With Weibei General Zhuge Ke as the general, he supervised the left department and represented Lu Xun Town in Wuchang.

Among them, Prime Minister Bu Vulture, General Zhuge Ke and General Lu Dai obviously belong to the Huaisi Group.

It can be seen that by this time, Sun Quan's actions to suppress the local clans in Jiangdong have come to an end, and it can even be said that his goal has been achieved. Under normal circumstances, Sun Quan could have ended this party dispute in the second palace, but Sun Quan did not abolish Sun He until more than five years after Lu Xun's death and execute Sun Ba, why is this?

Because Sun Quan had already gotten away at this time, he couldn't take it anymore.

[Played off]

Sun Quan tacitly connived at the fourth son and grandson to fight against the crown prince Sun He, provoked the party struggle in Nanlu, and took the opportunity to suppress the local clans in Jiangdong, but after more than three years of party struggle, although Sun Quan achieved his goal, things also exceeded his expectations. Sun Quan may have been ready to end this party struggle immediately after Lu Xun's death, but found himself in a dilemma.

Sun Quan wants to end this party dispute, it seems very easy, just give the ministers a clear answer, as long as it is clearly determined who his heir is and who is not his heir, this party dispute can actually be ended, such as Sun Quan abolishing Sun He, establishing Sun Ba, or protecting Sun He, and directly expelling or executing Sun Ba.

However, three years ago, Sun Quan could do this, at that time, Sun Quan quickly cut through the mess and did this, even if he expelled Sun Ba, it was estimated that there was no big problem, but now it is not possible, because now the abolition of Sun Ba and the removal of Sun Ba is not just a matter between his sons, but the problem of the whole Sun Wu, at that time the princeling party and the Lu Wang party were opposed, and the forces of the two factions have developed greatly. Sun Quan's abolition of Sun and the establishment of Sun Ba means that he has abandoned the entire princeling party, and the abolition of Sun Quan means that Sun Quan has given up the entire Lu Wang Party, and Sun Quan was very old at the time, and he was seriously ill many times, even if Sun Quan did not pursue the failed party, can he guarantee that he will not pursue the Lu Wang Party when Sun He comes to power? Or can Sun Ba guarantee that the former princelings will not be held accountable after coming to power?

Whether it is Sun He or Sun Ba coming to power, it means that there will be a great purge within Sun Wu in the future, which Sun Quan cannot tolerate, so Sun Quan did not act after Lu Xun's death.

In the thirteenth year of Chiwu (250), Sun Quan's body was really dying, he knew very well that he didn't have much time to drag it out, so Sun Quan had no choice, in order to avoid Sun He or Sun Ba's purge in the future, he directly abolished both, so that the princeling and the Lu Wang Party did not seem to have succeeded, but they did not fail, and the new prince and the two factions had no grievances in the future, so everyone would not worry.

But in the eyes of the orthodox bureaucracy, Sun Quan's practice was still intolerable, so Prime Minister Zhu Ju took the lead in opposing it, and the trouble was not good, and Sun Quan had to send him away.

Historically, Zhu Ju was also from the Jiangdong clan, but he himself rose through the ranks during the party struggle, and finally even became prime minister. When Sun Quan was proclaimed emperor, he married his daughter Sun Luyu (Sun Luban's own sister) to Zhu Ju and promoted her to General Zuo. A year after Lu Xun's death, Sun Quan let him take over the position of the vulture as a hussar general, after the death of the vulture, the position of prime minister was in the vacancy, and in the twelfth year of Chiwu (249), Zhu Ju replaced the late Buqiu as the prime minister.

It can be said that Zhu Ju is not the target of Sun Quan's suppression, on the contrary, Sun Quan has been cultivating Zhu Ju, and even regards him as the future pillar of Eastern Wu, after all, Sun Quan's goal of suppressing the Jiangdong clan has been achieved after Lu Xun's death, Sun Quan is not ready to completely squeeze out the Jiangdong family, so he has to give a sweet date to slap him in the face, and promote his son-in-law Zhu Ju as the new spokesperson of the Jiangdong family, which is also a proper meaning.

In the thirteenth year of Chiwu (250), Sun Quan demoted his official position because there was really no way at that time, Sun Quan did not directly remove him from office, and he should have been prepared to be transferred back in the future, but unfortunately Zhu Ju was later killed by Sun Hong.

In any case, Sun Quan's performance in this battle for the second palace was very dizzy, and he plunged the entire Sun Wu into a chaotic situation for his own selfishness, and unjustly killed countless loyal ministers. Earlier, Sun Quan also said to Sun Jun in the service: "My children and grandchildren are not harmonious, and the ministers are also vying for power and profit, and in the future, there will be a defeat in the Yuan family's internal fighting, which will make the world laugh!" However, Sun Quan's performance was not much better than Yuan Shao's back then.
