Sun Ce is also a figure in the history of the Three Kingdoms. He is known as the little overlord of Jiangdong. He is about the same status as Xiang Yu . Sun Ce was also a person with great ambitions back then, but no matter how great Sun Ce's ambitions were, he did not show it, and his death was not so vigorous, which is a pity to say. According to literature records, when Sun Ce was going out to hunt, he was assassinated by an unknown soldier. For a person like Sun Ce, such a way of exiting is really sad and even depressing.
After Sun Ce's death, the heavy responsibility was on his 18-year-old younger brother Sun Quan. This is strange. Normally, the father dies and the son succeeds, but the Sun family has the situation of brother dies and brothers. If you want to talk about Sun Quan, he was a smart person since he was a child and was very brave. However, when he grew up, Sun Quan was obviously not as interested as he was when he was a child. After his brother Sun Ce died, Sun Quan could not say bad things about his sons and nieces, but he also had certain selfishness.
Sun Ce was killed. Sun Quan took the throne
Emperor Xian of Han in the second year of Xingping. Sun Ce took the imperial seal that his father accidentally obtained as collateral and borrowed 3,000 elite soldiers from Yuan Shu and returned to Jiangdong to revive the Sun family's foundation. Sun Ce did have real skills. With such a small amount of troops, he unified Jiangdong in just five years. At that time, everyone praised him as a hero.
At this time, even Cao Cao sighed: "It's hard to compete with him! In addition, Yuan Shao is confronting Cao Cao with Guandu , so in order to appease Sun Ce, Cao Cao also betrothed his niece to Sun Ce's younger brother Sun Kuang as his wife! But people like Cao Cao, of course, are still guarding against Sun Ce. Cao Cao got the news, and Sun Ce may take advantage of the battle of Guandu stealing Attack Xuchang, Cao Cao took the initiative and ordered Chen Deng to contact the bandits under Sun Ce's rule to cause rebellion in Jiangdong so that Sun Ce would think that Sun Ce was big and big.
But these small actions were soon discovered by Sun Ce. Sun Ce was not easy to mess with. He taught that he led the army to attack Chen Deng. When he marched to Dantu Mountain, Sun Ce suddenly accelerated to enter the forest to hunt. Because the speed was too fast, the guards did not keep up.
When Sun Ce entered a path in the forest, three people suddenly appeared in front of him. Sun Ce felt something was wrong and immediately took out an arrow and shot one of them. However, one of them was always a little difficult for the three. The other two took the opportunity to shoot arrows at Sun Ce. Sun Ce could not hide and was shot in the face. After that, the guards chased after him and killed the assassin immediately, but Sun Ce's injury was too serious and he died without treatment. After investigation, these three assassins were the disciples of Xu Gong . After Xu Gong was killed by Sun Ce, they began to secretly assassinate Sun Ce! After they learned that Sun Ce was going to attack Chen Deng, the three of them followed along the way to find an opportunity!
Sun Ce called his younger brother Sun Quan to the bedside, took out the seal, and handed it to Sun Quan, and said earnestly: "Your ability is not as good as mine in fighting east and west, siege the city and conquering the land, but in terms of using talents and protecting the family business, I am not as good as you. From my ancestors to my generation, I finally opened up this territory of Jiangdong. If you think about the difficulties of your father's entrepreneurship, you must keep it well. "Sun Ce also instructed his subordinates to help his younger brother well. That's it. 18-year-old Sun Quan was ordered to take on the responsibility left by his brother.
Why did Sun Ce not pass the throne to his son
0 Sun Ce passed the throne to Sun Quan for three reasons.
First of all, Sun Ce was only 26 years old when he was assassinated, and his son Sun Shao was still a baby. It is estimated that at most he was 10 years old. Such a child had no way to assume the heavy responsibility of military command.
Secondly, Sun Ce also had no right to pass the throne to his son. When Sun Ce died, he was not a monarch. He was just a minister of the Eastern Han Dynasty. He was the general who fought against rebellion and the prefect of Kuaiji. He inherited his father's title, Wucheng Hou. How could the court allow General Sun Ce to pass the power of his young son?
Furthermore, Jiangdong's current military strength was not created by Sun Ce alone. It was founded by many people from his father, Sun Jian, and he could not take over this family business alone.
And among Sun Ce's four younger brothers, Sun Quan is the most capable, courageous and gentle person. Sun Ce attaches great importance to him and appreciates him very much. He is the best candidate to inherit his great responsibilities. After taking over Jiangdong, 18-year-old Sun Quan did not disappoint Sun Ce. With the help of Zhou Yu, Lusu and others, he was able to manage well, not only protecting the territory of Jiangdong, but also expanding his sphere of influence. In 222 AD, Sun Quan became emperor, established the Wu Kingdom, and formed a situation of three kingdoms with Cao Cao and Liu Bei.
What happened to the descendants after Sun Ce's death
Sun Quan did not forget his brother's explanation, and he has always contributed to the future of Jiangdong. He also posthumously named his father Sun Jian as Emperor Wulie and his brother Sun Ce as Changsha King Huan . So how did Sun Ce's descendants be treated?
Sun Ce has four children in total, but only one son and three daughters. His son Sun Shao was initially named 号号号号 by Sun Quan, and the following year, he was renamed marquis of Shangyu. The eldest daughter married the eldest son of the Prime Minister of Wu, Gu Yong, and Gu Shao, and the second daughter married the Grand Governor, Lu Xun, and the third daughter married the famous general, Zhu Zhi, and the second son of Zhu Ji, and they were all Sun Quan's mediation. In fact, Sun Ce was good at these three nieces. He made a decision for their lifelong affairs and found a destination, but it was a bit difficult to say about Sun Shao.
When Sun Ce died, Sun Shao was too young to take on the responsibility, so he gave Sun Quan this important task. Moreover, the foundation of Jiangdong was built by Sun Jian and Sun Ce. Sun Quan was blessed by his father and brother. Logically speaking, he should treat Sun Shao well and posthumously named Sun Ce as emperor. It is not an exaggeration to Sun Shao as the king. But Sun Ce did not do anything. After all, if he was granted the title of King of Sun Shao, he would have the chance to be emperor when he grew up, so Sun Quan just granted him a marquis, which was also caused by Sun Quan's selfishness.
Sun Ce was finally defeated
Sun Shao's son was called Sun Feng. After Sun Shao's death, Sun Feng inherited his father's title of Marquis Shangyu. In the late Three Kingdoms, the ruler of Wu was Sun Hao, the grandson of Sun Quan. Sun Quan was very optimistic about him and even named him "Peng Zu" to hope that he could live a long life. ,000 also praised him for his talent and clarity and his demeanor as King Huan of Changsha.
Sun Hao was indeed a bit wise and polite, compassionate and frugal in the palace, but he did not persist. He just started to be complacent and violent, and even used violent means to govern the country, obeying the wind and rain, and killing innocent people indiscriminately. In March of the first year of Ganlu (265), Sun Hao sent someone to Xu Shao and Sun Yu to Wei Kingdom to send a reply letter to Sima Zhao . In fact, it was a letter of appraisal. Xu Shao went to Ruxu, and someone reported to Sun Hao that Xu Shao praised the Central Plains. Sun Hao summoned Xu Shao and killed him without saying a word, and moved his family to Jian'an.
In the second year of Jianheng (270), Sun Hao was overly sad because of the death of his concubine Wang, and stayed in his door for a long time. It happened that there were rumors among the people that Sun Quan's fifth son, Sun Fen and Sun Ce, would regain the throne sooner or later. Sun Hao was shocked and believed the rumor, so he killed both of them, and Sun Ce was defeated.
Conclusion
Generally speaking, Sun Quan had thoughtful arrangements for Sun Ce’s descendants, and some of them seemed more miserable. After all, he was in the royal family. Attracted by the imperial power, many so-called family ties became weaker, and more of them were profits to replace everything. Sun Ce probably did not expect that the descendants of the Sun family would kill each other and he would end up with a desperate outcome.
