Chapter 075: The Rise and Fall of the Whole Clan
In history, the whole family is also a famous family in Jiangdong, it started from Quan Rou, because of the princess Sun Luban and was extremely prosperous, and finally participated in the coup d'état during the Sun Qi period and was completely suppressed, so it declined.
The main figures of the family in history include Quan Rou, Quan Cong, Quan Shang and Quan Yi.
【Stages of Fortune】
The whole family was similar to the Sun family earlier, although they were all born in Wu County, they were not considered to be local clans. Quan Rou can be said to be the head of the whole family, he was inspected for filial piety during the period of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, and was appointed as the right man of Shang Shulang. When Dong Zhuo was in turmoil, Quan Rou abandoned his official position and returned home, and the state government recruited him to work as a different driver, and the emperor decreed that he should be awarded the eastern lieutenant of Huiji County on the spot. After Sun Ce marched into Wudi, Quan Rou took the lead in leading the troops to annex, and Sun Ce appointed him as the commander of Danyang. After Sun Quan became the general of the chariot cavalry, he took Quan Rou as his long history and transferred to Guiyang Taishou.
Quan Rou's son is Sun Wu's future right Sima Quan Cong, Quan Rou once made Quan Cong transport thousands of grains and rice to Wu County, and there was a trade. But after Quan Cong arrived, he scattered the grain, relieved the poor, and returned empty. Hearing this, Quan Rou was furious, and Quan Cong suddenly said: "I think that the matter of the rice is not urgent, and the doctor is in danger of hanging upside down, so I will use the rice to support it, and I will not report to my father first." Quan Rou turned to think that he was extraordinary.
At that time, the scholars in the Central Plains fled the war and went to the south, relying on hundreds of people who lived under Quan Cong, who poured all his family resources to provide for them and shared what they had with them, so his reputation spread far and wide. Later, Sun Quan appointed him as the captain of Fenwei, and gave thousands of soldiers to conquer Shanyue. Quan Cong took the opportunity to recruit openly, got more than 10,000 elite soldiers, sent troops to garrison Niuzhu, and gradually rose to the rank of general.
In the twenty-fourth year of Jian'an (219), Liu Bei's general Guan Yu besieged Fancheng and Xiangyang, and Quan Cong Shangshu stated that he could attack Guan Yu. When Guan Yu was captured, Sun Quan set up a banquet in the public place, and he turned back to Quan Cong and said: "You stated this plan before, although I did not reply, but today's victory also has your share of credit. So he sealed the Marquis of Huating.
In the first year of Huangwu (222), Wei sent a large naval army to the entrance of the cave, and Quan Cong beheaded Yin Lu, the general of the Wei army. Therefore, Sun Quan promoted Quancong to the general of Suinan and was promoted to the Marquis of Qiantang. In the fourth year of Huangwu (225), Quan Cong concurrently served as the Taishou of Jiujiang. Later, Quan Cong defeated Cao Xiu in Shiting with Lu Xun, served as the Taishou of Dong'an County, pacified Shanyue, and lured thieves, which was very appreciated by Sun Quan.
【Glory Period】
In the first year of Huanglong (229), Sun Quan was proclaimed emperor, and Quan Cong was promoted to General Wei, the Right Protector, and Xuzhou Mu, and married Sun Luban, the daughter of Sun Quan, which was also the beginning of the family's glory.
In the third year of Chiwu (240), Quan Cong was the governor of the capital, and Wei will fight Wang Wei in Shaobei, the situation is unfavorable, when Gu Tan brother Gu Cheng and Zhang Xiu fought hard to attack, to stop Wei Shi, Quan Cong's two sons Quan Xu, Quan Duan led the troops to pursue, afterwards the court thought that the merit of stationing the enemy was great, and the merit of retreating the enemy was small, so Zhang Xiu, Gu Cheng and the miscellaneous generals, and Quan Xu, Quan Duan and others were just for favoritism. Quan Cong and Quan Ji father and son were very unconvinced, and the whole family was at odds with the Gu family and the Zhang family.
In the fourth year of Chiwu (241), Sun Deng, the prince of Wu, died. In the following year, Sun Quan took the third son and son and the fourth son as the prince and the fourth son and grandson as the king of Lu, and the dispute between the two palaces broke out. At that time, the princess Sun Luban was at odds with Sun He, supporting King Lu and Sun Ba, Quan Cong also became one of the core figures in King Lu's party, and also acquiesced to his son Quan Ji to directly help King Lu. Later, the whole family used the Shaobi incident to suppress the Gu family and others, and succeeded.
In the eighth year of Chiwu (245), he died of anger one after another. The following year, Sun Quan was promoted to Quan Cong as the right great Sima and the left military division, and Quan Cong was basically a great minister at that time. After Quan Cong was close to Sun Quan, his family was favored and noble. Quan Cong was rewarded with a total of thousands of gold, but he still received the scholars modestly, and there was never a look of arrogance on his face.
In the twelfth year of Chiwu (249), Quan Cong died, and his son Quan Yi succeeded to his title. The whole family began to slowly enter the Quanshang era, and Quanshang was Quancong's nephew, and during the Quanshang period, the whole family entered its peak.
The following year, the dispute between the two palaces ended, the crown prince Sun He was deposed, King Sun Ba of Lu was executed, and Quan Cong's second son Quan Ji was also executed for helping King Lu, but the whole family was not greatly affected. At that time, Sun Quan was very old, and he loved his youngest son Sun Liang very much, so Sun Luban also befriended Sun Liang and strongly advocated that the whole family daughter marry Sun Liang. After Sun Liang became the crown prince, he married the daughter of the whole family as the crown princess.
In the first year of Jianxing (252), Sun Liang succeeded to the throne, and five people in the whole clan were knighted at that time, and Quan Shang was appointed as the captain of the city gate, and the marquis of the capital pavilion was sealed, replacing Teng Yin as the general of Taichangwei, and the marquis of Yongping was added to the title of the general of the government.
In the second year of Jianxing (253), Zhuge Ke was sentenced to the dictatorship of Sun Jun, and the power of the whole family reached its peak. At that time, the wife of Emperor Sun Liang was the daughter of Quan Shang, Quan Shang's wife was Sun Jun's sister, and the princess Sun Luban also had an affair with Sun Jun.
[Decline]
The decline of the whole family began with the death of Sun Jun, when the family had two major backers, one was the emperor Sun Liang, and the other was the powerful minister Sun Jun, but after the death of Sun Jun in the first year of Taiping (256), his successor Sun Qi and Sun Liang were at odds, and the contradiction between the two became more and more obvious, and the whole family was forced to stand in the middle of it, and they chose to help Sun Liang deal with Sun Qi, but Sun Liang failed, and the whole family was implicated and almost removed, and Sun Luban was exiled.
In the second year of Taiping (257), Cao Wei's general Zhuge Dan rebelled in Shouchun because of his opposition to Sima's autocracy, and Sun Wu sent Quan Duan (Quan Cong's son), Quan Yi (Quan Cong's son) and others to lead troops to support and enter Shouchun City to assist in defense. Later, Quan Cong's eldest son Quan Xu's two sons, Quan Yi and Quan Yi, ran to Wei with their grandmother, Sima Zhao followed Zhong Hui's suggestion to send Quan Yi and others' families to report to Quan Yi, saying that the Lord of Wu was furious because Quan Yi and others could not take Shouchun, and wanted to kill his family, so he fled to the north, but Quan Yi and others heard the news, and they were afraid and uneasy, and Kaecheng surrendered. Wei took Quan Yi as the general of Pingdong, sealed the Marquis of Xiang, and the other people who surrendered to the Quan clan were at least liehous, while the Quan Cong line in Jianye was basically killed by Sun Qi.
In the third year of Taiping (258), Sun Liang and Princess Quan, Quan Shang and others conspired to get rid of Sun Qi, but unfortunately the news was leaked and known to Sun Qi, so Sun Qi made the first move, Quan Shang and others were arrested, Sun Liang was finally deposed by Sun Qi as the king of Huiji, Quan Shang's son Quan Ji is said to have committed suicide in shame, Princess Quan was moved to Yuzhang County, and Quan Shang was exiled to Lingling County. The whole family went into decline.
In history, the whole family began to make a fortune since Quan Rou took refuge in Sun Ce, and almost became a famous family after Quan Cong married Sun Luban, but the whole family had to intervene in the internal struggle of the royal family, and later the degree of participation became deeper and deeper.
