Sun Hao's name is "Peng Zu". In historical records, Sun Quan loved his grandson very much and personally took the name "Peng Zu" for him. He hoped that he could grow up healthily and live a long life. After the death of Emperor Jing of Wu, Sun Xiu, Shu Han was about to die, and a rebellion occurred in the Wu Kingdom that shocked the whole country. In this case, the court urgently hoped that an older monarch would take over. Emperor Jing of Wu was too young. In this case, the important minister 10 Yu recommended the then Marquis of Wu Cheng Sun Hao, saying that he had the style of Sun Ce and was law-abiding and studious. Therefore, in the absence of a more suitable candidate, the 23-year-old Sun Hao became the fourth monarch of the Wu Kingdom, which also reflects the influence of the ministers of the Eastern Wu to a certain extent.
After becoming the throne, Sun Hao indeed showed his spirit of being a wise ruler, servicing the people, opening warehouses to provide disaster relief, and releasing all the rare beasts in the palace during the reign of Emperor Jing. The palace maids in the palace also reduced their posts, and for a while became the wise monarch in everyone's mind. But the good times did not last long. Sun Hao, who had just made some achievements in national governance, showed his stupid and violent nature. Because of his small achievements, he began to indulge in pleasure, and was even more cruel to governing the country. First, Empress Dowager Zhu was demoted to Empress Jing, and then after hearing that General Zhang Bu and Prime Minister Zhang Bu regretted letting him become emperor, he even killed the two, and even named Zhang Bu's daughter a "beauty" and humiliated.
Sun Hao spent his whole life to fully interpret cruelty and ignorance. None of the ministers who helped him to power had a good end. Zhang Bu and Puyang Xing were killed by him, and Wan Yu finally died of depression because of his scolding. Empress Dowager Zhu was forced to death by him, and two of the four sons of Emperor Jing were killed by him. He was not only cruel, but also lacked the judgment that the king should have. He was impulsive and irritable. His reputation of cruelty made all the Jin Dynasty terrified by it. It was natural for the demise of the Eastern Wu in his hands. Even Liu Chan could be called a "benevolent king" compared with him.
He also believed in the so-called "auspiciousness" and changed eight year names based on the so-called "auspiciousness". There are rumors among the people that the surname Gongsun will perish "Sun Wu ", so Sun Hao exiled all the people in the country with the surname Gongsun. He also built a large-scale construction of " Zhaoming Palace ", with the cost calculated in billions of dollars, so that all officials could supervise the luxury of luxury. Apart from not inventing new punishments, it is comparable to Zhou of Shang.
The most bizarre thing is that Sun Hao is awake and knows his stupidity. When he was about to be defeated, he wrote two self-reports that he thoroughly analyzed himself, indicating his stupidity and cruelty. Later, he learned from his senior Liu Chan, and surrendered himself, carried a coffin and presented a seal. Sun Wu was destroyed at this point. Sun Hao was given the gift of " Rebirth Marquis " from then on he lived in Luoyang . But his cruel nature is still the same, and many rumors about him were circulated. Finally, he died at the age of 42. Peng Zu's name was unable to protect his life.
That’s all about Sun Hao. What do you think of him? We will be in the next period.
