After Sun Jun's death, Sun Qi, who was only twenty-six years old, began to come to power, as the ruler of Sun Wu's new generation, Sun Qi was young and vigorous, unscrupulous, reckless, he first killed Teng Yin and Zhu Ju after taking power, and then the conflict with Sun Liang, the lord of Wu, intensified, and finally Sun Qi deposed Sun Liang.

【Defeat Teng and Lu】

Sun Qi is Sun Jing's great-grandson, Sun Jun's cousin, before Sun Jun's death, Sun Qi was only a partial general, after Sun Jun's death, the imperial court appointed Sun Qi as a general of the service and Wuwei, leading the Chinese and foreign military, appointed to preside over the government, and succeeded Sun Jun to control the highest power in Eastern Wu.

Originally, the ministers of Wu State were dissatisfied with Sun Jun's monopoly of power as a clan and his many evils, so they did not want to see Sun Qi, who was also a member of the imperial family, continue to monopolize the power of the imperial court. Teng Yin's brother-in-law, the hussar general Lü, contacted the generals of the Northern Expedition front and recommended Teng Yin as prime minister, hoping to divide Sun Yin's power and prevent him from exercising power and dictatorship. However, Sun Qi appointed Teng Yin as the Great Sima to replace Lu Dai, who had died not long ago, to guard Wuchang.

So Lü Ju, who had led the Northern Expedition, led the army back and sent someone to inform Teng Yin that he was plotting to overthrow Sun Qi. After Sun Qi found out, on the one hand, he sent troops to attack Lü Ju, and on the other hand, he sent the left general Hua Rong, and Ding Yan, the secretary of the Zhongshu, asked Teng Yin to immediately set out to arrest Lü Ju. Seeing this, Teng Yin immediately supported his troops to defend himself, and told Yang Chong, the commander of the army, and Sun Zhi, the governor of Yulin, that it was Sun Qi who made a rebellion, and forced Huarong and others to write a book to refute Sun Qi. Sun Qi said that Teng Yin rebelled and sent the general Liu Cheng to send troops to besiege Teng Yin. Teng Yin then forced Huarong, Sun Zhi and others to send troops to help him, and Huarong and others were killed because they did not succeed.

Outside Jianye, Zhongshu held the emperor's edict and went to capture Lü with Wen Qin, Liu Su, Tang Zhi and others, and Sun Qi sent his cousin Sun Xian to lead troops to meet Lü Yu Jiangdu. At that time, Lü persuaded his subordinates to surrender to Wei, and Lü said: "I am ashamed to be a traitor." So he committed suicide.

Teng Yin thought that Lu Juhui would meet him as scheduled, so he continued to wait, during which his face remained unchanged, and he talked and laughed as usual. At that time, some subordinates persuaded Teng Yin to lead troops to attack the Canglong Gate of the palace, and the soldiers of the forbidden army stationed in the palace saw Teng Yin, and they must leave Sun Qi and obey Teng Yin's dispatch, and Teng Yin could enter the palace and issue an edict in the name of the emperor to kill Sun Qi. However, Teng Yin did not dare to raise troops to surround the palace easily, and relied on the agreement with Lu Zhihui to come to support, so he ordered his subordinates to continue to hold on. Soon after, Lü committed suicide in defeat, and Sun Qi gathered an army to attack Teng Yin. Dozens of people, including Teng Yin and other soldiers, were defeated and killed, and then Sun Qi ordered the extermination of Teng Yin and Lü Ju's three clans.

After quelling the rebellion of Teng Yin and Zhu Ju, Sun Qi temporarily controlled the situation, and then moved to the general and was named the Marquis of Yongning.

[Frequent chaos]

Sun Yi, the general of the town army stationed in Xiakou during the holiday, was the brother-in-law of Lü Ju and Teng Yin, and his brother Sun Feng committed suicide because he failed to participate in the conspiracy. Sun Yi then sent the Zhennan general Zhu Yi to attack Sun Yi, forcing Sun Yi to lead more than 1,000 troops to flee to Cao Wei.

Sun Qi's subordinate brother Sun Ji was very well treated when Sun Jun was in power, and after helping Sun Qi to quell the troubles of Lu Yi and others, he received less treatment than Sun Junshi, so he was very dissatisfied and conspired with the general Wang Duan to kill Sun Qi. Sun Qi found out and killed Wang Dan, and Sun Ji was forced to take medicine to commit suicide.

In the second year of Taiping (257), Zhuge Dan, the general of Wei's expedition to the east, rebelled against Sima Zhao, and sent his son to Wu to ask for support, Sun Qi then sent Wen Qin, Tang Shi and Quan Duan, Quan Yi and others to lead 30,000 people to support the first way, and then personally led the troops to postpone, and then took Zhu Yi as the governor of the false festival to support Shouchun, but Zhu Yi was defeated twice on the front line, and the supplies were also destroyed, Sun Qi asked Zhu Yi to fight to the death, but was refused, and later Sun Qi executed Zhu Yi and returned to Jianye.

At that time, Shi was a hussar general. Shi Ji was worried about the internal unrest of the Wu State, and the Wei State took advantage of the weakness to enter, so he secretly corresponded with Shu Han and befriended Shu Han to defend together. Shu Han then sent the right general Yan Yu to lead 5,000 generals to strengthen the defense of the White Emperor City, and support Shi Ji when necessary.

[Depose Sun Liang]

In the second year of Taiping (257), Sun Liang, who was only fifteen years old, may have taken advantage of Sun Qi's absence to start pro-government, although Sun Liang could not change the established facts after he returned, but he restrained Sun Liang more, and Sun Liang also sent people to blame Sun Qi for failing to rescue and killing the general.

Sun Qi was afraid that Sun Liang would be unfavorable to him, so he returned to Jianye and said that he was ill and could not go to the court to see Sun Liang. He built a palace on the south side of the Suzaku Bridge, and ordered his younger brother Weiyuan general Sun Yi to be in charge of the Suwei Palace to ban the Canglong Gate, and his younger brother Wuwei general Sun En, partial general Sun Gan, and Changshui captain Sun Min were stationed in each camp respectively, hoping to control the government in order to protect themselves.

In the third year of Taiping (258), Sun Liang was very dissatisfied with Sun Qi's behavior, so he used the excuse to investigate the reason for the murder of his third sister Princess Zhu Sun Luyu, and sent an edict angrily to reprimand Sun Qi's cronies Hulin Governor Zhu Xiong and external governor Zhu Yan for not Kuang Zheng Sun Jun's mistake of killing Princess Luyu that year. Sun Liang pleaded for mercy, but Sun Liang refused to allow it, and sent the left general Ding Feng to kill Zhu Xiong and Zhu Zheng.

At this time, the contradiction between Sun Liang and Sun Qi had become public, so Sun Liang privately discussed the killing of Sun Qi with his eldest sister Princess Quan Sun Luban, Taichang Quan Shang, and General Liu Cheng. But the plot was not secret, and one of Sun Liang's concubines knew that the concubine was Sun Qi's niece, so he secretly reported the matter to Sun Liang.

However, this matter is recorded in the "Jiangbiao Biography", which is believed to be a leak from Quan Shang's wife Sun. According to the "Biography of Jiang Biao": Sun Liang wanted to get rid of Sun Qi, and said to Quan Ji, the son of Quan Shang: "Sun Qi is extremely evil, and now he is planning to arrest him." Your father is now the governor of the Chinese army, so let him strictly organize his troops and horses. I myself will lead the army of Su Wei Tiger Cavalry, Left and Right No Difficulty to besiege him, and use an edict to tie him down. You go, tell your father secretly, and don't let your mother know. The woman doesn't understand national affairs, and she is Sun Qi's cousin, so she is afraid that she will leak the military information when she meets. That's delaying me. ”

However, Quan Shang did not plan to keep things secret, and told his wife Sun, and Sun then told Sun Liang secretly, and Sun Qi sent troops to abolish Sun Liang at night, and the soldiers had besieged the palace at dawn. Sun Liang was furious, got on his horse and took the bow and wanted to come out, and said: "I am the emperor's son-in-law, and I have been in power for five years, who dares to disobey?!" Sun Liang was stopped by the ministers and the nurse, so Sun Liang couldn't come out, didn't eat for two days, and scolded his wife, Queen Quan, and said: "Your father is so mediocre, he defeated me!" “

At that time, Sun Qi had already led his troops to arrest Quan Shang overnight, and sent his brother Sun En to kill Liu Cheng outside the Canglong Gate. Then raised troops to surround the palace, ordered Guanglu Xun Yuzong to worship the first emperor in the temple, and summoned the ministers to announce the abolition of Sun Liang, the ministers were very shocked, and no one dared to disobey Sun Liang's order. Sun Zhenai sent Zhongshulang Li Zhen to seize the jade seal and announced Sun Liang's alleged crimes to the whole country in the form of an edict. Shang Shuhuan Yi refused to sign the edict and was killed by Sun Qi.

Dianjun Shi Zheng persuaded Sun Qi to establish Sun Xiu, the evil king of Lang, Sun Quan's sixth son, as the emperor, and Sun Qi agreed, so he ordered Zong Zheng to write a letter to Sun Xiu, and then welcomed Sun Xiu back to Jianye to ascend the throne and become emperor. In addition, the deposed emperor Sun Liang was demoted to the king of Huiji and sent back to the feudal state; The princess was relocated to Yuzhang County, and Quan Shang was exiled to Lingling County.

In this way, Sun Qi's power far surpassed that of the emperor and reached the pinnacle of his life. He became more and more arrogant, not only insulting the gods worshiped by the people, but also burning down the Wu Zixu Temple at the head of the bridge, demolishing the Buddhist temple, and killing the Taoist.
