Chapter 071: Sun Jun is in power

After Zhuge Ke's death, the power of Sun Wu's court fell into the hands of Sun Jun, although he actively united with Sun Luban and forced the original prince Sun He to death, but did not further exclude dissidents, but chose to tolerate the existence of Teng Yin, and supported the Wei State Biqiu Jian rebellion and took in Wenqin.

[Sun Jun took the stage]

Sun Jun, whose name is far away, is the great-grandson of Sun Jian's younger brother Sun Jing. At a young age, he was familiar with archery and galloping, shrewd, resolute and decisive. In the last years of Sun Quan's reign, Sun Jun was the captain of the military guard and served as a servant. Before Sun Quanlin's death, Sun Jun was bequeathed to assist the government and concurrently serve as the general of Wuwei.

Earlier, Sun Jun was one of Zhuge Ke's main supporters, but after Zhuge Ke took power, he found that Zhuge Ke was too rigid and self-sufficient, which was very harmful to Wu, so he conspired with Sun Liang, the lord of Wu, to get rid of him. Afterwards, Sun Jun was promoted to the prime minister's general, supervising various military affairs inside and outside the court, and was named the Marquis of Fuchun.

Sun Jun has never had a prominent reputation, he is arrogant and insidious, and he tortures and kills people too much, and the people complain. He also fornicated with the palace maid, and even had an affair with the princess Sun Luban.

Historically, Zhuge Ke was the uncle of Sun He's concubine Zhang. When Zhuge Ke was in power, Concubine Zhang sent Huangmen Chen Qian to Jianye Shangshu Middle Palace and extended greetings to Zhuge Ke. When Chen Qian left Jianye, Zhuge Ke said to him: "Tell Concubine Zhang for me, and I will definitely let her surpass others at that time." These words are quite meaningful.

At that time, Zhuge Ke may still have the idea of moving the capital, he sent people to repair the palace in Wuchang, and some people rumored that he wanted to welcome Sun He.

After Zhuge Ke was killed, Sun Jun deprived Sun He of his seal ribbon in order to curry favor with Sun Luban, exiled him to Xindu, and sent a messenger to commit suicide. Sun He said goodbye to Zhang, and Zhang said: "I will follow you no matter how good or bad it is, and I can't live alone in the world." She also committed suicide, and the whole country mourned.

In history, Sun Jun exterminated Zhuge Ke's entire clan, but did not implicate Zhuge Ke's in-law Teng Yin, Teng Yin was a general Wei at that time, and his actual status in Wu was basically second only to Zhuge Ke, helping Zhuge Ke manage the government, and after Zhuge Ke sent troops, the internal affairs of the court were handed over to him to deal with.

Sun Quan once asked Zhuge Ke: "How are you better than Teng Yin?" Zhuge Ke jokingly replied: "In the court, he behaves properly, has thorough etiquette, and is appreciated, and the minister is indeed inferior to Teng Yin; But when it comes to strategizing and winning a thousand miles, Teng Yin is not as good as the minister. ”

After Zhuge Ke was killed, Teng Yin resigned because he was the father-in-law of Zhuge Ke's son Zhuge Zhu, but Sun Jun stopped him, but said: "Kun and Yu's sins are not connected, Teng Hou, why do you bother?" ”

Although Sun Jun and Teng Yin did not agree with each other in their hearts, they were tolerant of each other on the outside, and Sun Jun Jin conferred Teng Yin's title as the Marquis of Gaomi, and they still worked together as before. In history, although Sun Jun eliminated Zhuge Ke and obtained the power of the imperial court, Sun Jun's reputation was too low and his ability was not very strong, so he finally chose to leave Teng Yin, but Sun Jun was also very jealous of Teng Yin.

According to the record of "Wu Lu", at that time, the ministers recommended Sun Jun as the Tai Lieutenant and Teng Yin as the Situ, but the officials who intended to curry favor with Sun Jun objected on the grounds that "the great unification should be in the Gong clan, if Teng Yin is the Yagong, the reputation is high, and the hearts of the people are attached", which will divide the government and oppose it, and finally Sun Jun was promoted to prime minister, but did not let Teng Yin serve as the imperial historian, and all the scholars were disappointed.

[Power instability]

After Sun Jun came to power, he lacked prestige and could not suppress everyone. In the first year of Wufeng (254), Sun Ying, Marquis of Wu, conspired to kill Sun Jun and committed suicide because the matter was revealed.

In the second year of Wufeng (255), Biqiu Jian rebelled in Huainan, Sun Jun and the hussar general Lü Ju, Zuo general Liuzan and others led the army to attack Shouchun, and when the troops arrived in Dongxing, they heard that Wen Qin and others had been defeated. When the Wu army advanced into Lugao, Wen Qin surrendered to Sun Jun, and the remaining tens of thousands of people in the Huainan region came to defect. Wei General Zhuge entered Shouchun Wait, and Sun Jun led the troops back.

The hussar general Lü Ju encountered the Wei general Cao Zhen on the way and defeated him at Gaoting, but the Liuzan Zuo general Liuzan was defeated by Zhuge Dan's other general Jiang Ban at Hupi, and Liuzan and the generals Sun Leng and Jiang Yu were all killed.

In the same year, the generals Sun Yi, Zhang Yi, Lin Sui and others murdered Sun Jun, and they were discovered, Sun Yi committed suicide, Lin Sui and others were beheaded, and dozens of people were implicated and killed. At that time, Princess Quan said that Princess Zhu was Sun Yi's accomplice, and as a result, Princess Zhu Sun Luyu was also killed, and Princess Zhu's death caused a huge court shock in the future.

Later, Sun Jun wanted to defend the city at the border of Guangling, and the courtiers thought that it was difficult to build a city there, but they did not dare to advise because they were afraid of Sun Jun. Only Teng Yin objected, but Sun Jun did not listen, and in the end, the city was not built.

【Sun Jun passed away】

In the first year of the Taiping Dynasty (256), Sun Jun was instigated by Wen Qin to invade Wei, and sent Wen Qin and Lü Ju, the chariot cavalry general Liu Su, the Zhennan general Zhu Yi, and the former general Tang Shi to lead an army from Jiangdu into the Huai and Si areas in order to occupy Qingzhou and Xuzhou.

Sun Jun and Teng Yin came to Stone Town to practice for the army, Sun Jun saw that the army led by Lu Ju was neat, disgusted, and left under the pretext of heart pain. That night, I dreamed that I was hit by Zhuge Ke's unjust soul with a sword, and I was frightened and died of illness at the age of thirty-eight, and the aftermath was entrusted to my cousin Sun Qi.

In Sun Wu's country, Sun Jun was not in power for a long time, only a short four years (253-256), although Sun Jun came to power through disgraceful means, but Sun Jun's original intention was not necessarily just to consider himself, otherwise he would not have strongly recommended Zhuge Ke back then. Sun Jun's own ability and vision are relatively limited, and he does not have enough prestige, so he does things more with the crowd, he supported Zhuge Ke at the beginning is a very popular opinion, after all, Zhuge Ke had the shadow of Lu Xun and Zhuge Liang at that time, everyone wanted to repeat the things of Shu Han back then, but Zhuge Ke was not his uncle in the end, he failed to bring light to Sun Wu, but made a mess of things, due to the huge contrast between reality and expectations, Sun Jun admired Zhuge Ke earlier, and it became how hateful, So Sun Jun chose to kill Zhuge Ke and come to power himself.

After Sun Jun came to power, he did a lot of ridiculous things, and even fornicated with Princess Quan and killed Princess Zhu for her, but Sun Jun at least still has a certain bottom line, although he doesn't like it, he still tolerates the existence of the other two auxiliary ministers Teng Yin and Lu Ju, and shares the government with Teng Yin, of course, the core power is still captured by Sun Jun himself.

It can be seen from these things that Sun Jun still has love for Jiangdong, and he also wants Sun Wu to be good, but after launching a coup d'état to get rid of Zhuge Ke, many things are out of his control, he can't retreat, and dying early may not be a good thing for Sun Jun.
