Chapter 310: Looking for a master, Sun Quan who has no regrets
Pan Shu pressed tightly against Sun Quan's back and said softly: "Your Majesty, you see our Liang'er has been quite well-behaved recently and is smart and enlightened. Although he is only six years old, he has the judgment of an adult.
There is nothing to do,
And his brother Ba'er has already been named King of Lu, so why don't you choose a talented and virtuous person among the ministers to be Liang'er's master."
Sun Quan now has seven sons and two adopted sons (Ling Tong's sons Ling Lie and Ling Feng). The seven sons are: Sun Deng, Sun Lu, Sun He, Sun Ba, Sun Fen, Sun Xiu, and Sun Liang.
However, Sun Quan’s sons did not end well.
The eldest son, Sun Deng, was loved by Sun Quan. Sun Deng was polite, virtuous, and kind. When Sun Quan proclaimed himself King of Wu, he made Sun Deng the crown prince early on.
He devoted himself to training him and let Zhuge Ke, Zhang Xiu (son of Zhang Zhao), Gu Tan (son of Gu Yong), Chen Biao (brother of Chen Wu) and others accompany him to study and study.
And he married Zhou Yu's daughter as his concubine. After Sun Quan proclaimed himself emperor, he made Sun Deng the crown prince.
When Sun Deng became an adult, he advised Sun Quan many times and had many opinions on current affairs. When he was guarding Wuchang, he handled government affairs cautiously and appropriately, consulting everything first and then implementing it.
However, it was not a holiday, and in May of the fourth year of Chiwu (241), Sun Deng, who was only 33 years old, died of illness. Sun Quan was surprised and sad when he learned that, and his grief could not be suppressed. When he talked about the prince, he burst into tears, and he was given the posthumous title Sun.
He was promoted to Prince Xuan. The edict mentioned: "The country mourns the death of its direct descendant, how blessed are the people!"
Sun Lu, also known as Zizhi, was the second son of Sun Quan. He was smart and versatile since childhood, and was highly valued and loved by Sun Quan.
In the seventh year of Huangwu (228 years), he was feudalized as Changhou, and later served as the general of the Zhenjun army, stationed in Banzhou (today's Jiujiangxi, Jiangxi).
When Sun Lu served in Banzhou, he obeyed the laws and served his teachers and friends respectfully, exceeding everyone's expectations of him.
In the first year of Jiahe (232 years), Sun Lu died at the age of twenty, earlier than his elder brother.
Sun Deng and Sun Lu were both outstanding sons of Sun Quan. Unfortunately, Sun Lu died young when he was only twenty years old. Sun Deng also failed to survive his "extremely long standby" father and died early in front of Sun Quan.
.
Sun Deng's death was a great blow to Sun Quan, which also caused Sun Quan to become more and more jealous and suspicious in his later years, which led to the current "Second Palace Controversy".
The third son, Sun He, whose courtesy name is Zixiao, was established as the crown prince after the death of the original prince Sun Deng. Sun He was smart and smart when he was a child. He was especially loved by Sun Quan, who often followed him around. He was given rewards such as clothes, courtesy, and treasures, which other princes could not share.
Compared to him.
He loves literature and is good at riding and shooting. In his early years, Sun He was favored by Sun Quan because of the favor of his mother, Mrs. Wang.
Because of Sun Deng, Sun Lu died one after another, and Sun He became the eldest son.
Moreover, before his death, Sun Deng suggested to Sun Quan that Sun He be appointed as the crown prince. In 242, Sun He was appointed as the crown prince. He was nineteen years old at the time.
According to historical records, "Emperors especially love luck" and he is Sun Quan's favorite son. Sun He loves literature, is good at riding and shooting, treats virtuous corporals, and respects teachers, so he is quite praised by people.
After Sun He was made the crown prince, Sun Ba, the king of Lu, refused to accept that Sun He was made the crown prince. Later, he formed a party with Quan Cong and others to fight against him, plotting to frame the crown prince and his followers in order to seek opportunities to ascend to the coveted kingdom of Wu.
The position of prince.
Sun Quan has disliked this prince more and more over the years. It seems that all the favor he showed before Sun He was made the prince was an act. But only Sun Quan himself knows that all this is because of Zhuge Ke and Zhu Zi.
Xiao and others supported him so much that they had to stand up and speak for the prince every time.
One of them is his personal general, and the other is the prime minister, the head of the hundred officials, the son-in-law he personally selected. The combined power of this civil and military force is very powerful. If he is not careful, he, the emperor, will
The seat will become unstable,
Even Zixiao's predecessor, Lu Xun and Lu Boyan, was forced to death by himself, and he even paid a high price for it, but he did not regret it. In order to make the throne more stable, it was all worth it.
Sun Quan comforted him softly: "Shu'er, don't worry. Don't worry about finding a good master for Liang'er. We'll wait until the general comes back. Liang'er is my favorite child, how can I not find him a good master?"
His teacher is here to teach him."
Pan Shu's jade hands hugged Sun Quan tighter and said, "I thank your majesty for your kindness."
Sun Quan thought for a while and then said: "For the Sun family's foundation that my father and brother have worked hard for decades, I do not regret treating Lu Boyan so harshly, nor do I regret the things I lost because of it."
Cao Wei occupies the time of day, Jiangdong occupies the geographical advantage, and Shu Han occupies the people and people. Each has its own advantages and disadvantages.
Among the three monarchs at the time of the Three Kingdoms, Cao Cao and Liu Bei were the ones who built their empires in a down-to-earth manner. The prestige of these two in the armies of their respective regimes was unique.
What is more special is Sun Quan of the Eastern Wu Dynasty. He is a defender of the status quo. He rarely leads his troops to fight in person. He often fails in battles in person, so he is known as Sun Shiwan.
The prestige in the army is far inferior to that of Cao Cao and Liu Bei. Moreover, due to the special composition of the Soochow army, Sun Quan has never been able to truly control the military power of Soochow.
The composition of the Soochow army was a private army system, that is, a collection of private soldiers of the Sun family who were completely loyal to Sun Quan and private soldiers who were loyal to various families and generals. Sun Quan, the master, did not have absolute control and command rights.
When going to war, Sun Quan only needs to choose generals, and then everyone will gather with their private soldiers, and choose a governor to be the commander-in-chief to lead everyone together. Zhou Yu, Lu Su, Lu Meng, Lu Xun and other governors of Soochow have all
Directly administered private army.
After Zhou Yu's death, he handed over his private soldiers to Lu Su, the next governor-general: "He worshiped the military commander Su Fen and led the troops on Yu's behalf. There were more than 4,000 Yu soldiers. All the four counties in Fengyi belonged to Yan."
After Lu Su's death, his private army was handed over to the next governor Lu Meng to inherit: "Lu Su died and Mengxi stationed at Lukou, and more than 10,000 Su soldiers and horses belonged to Mongolia." Lu Xun's family is relatively powerful, he is twenty
When he was young, he had thousands of private soldiers. His son was more capable, so after his death, his son Lu Kang inherited his private soldiers: "Kang was named Youjie, Sun Ce's grandson. When Xun died, he was in the second year of his life.
Ten, pay homage to Jian Wu Xiaowei and lead five thousand people."
This is how the Jiangdong family's private soldiers were inherited. Sun Quan himself also controlled the Sun family's private soldiers, but in the entire Jiangdong army collective, the Sun family's private soldiers did not have an absolute advantage.
Sun Quan himself was not as good at military affairs as Sun Ce. He basically relied on generals with foreign surnames to lead the army in battles. Therefore, at least in the Soochow army, Sun Quan was never really in power. The only people who could obey the command 100% were the private soldiers of the Sun family.
Especially after forcing Lu Xun to death, the harmonious atmosphere between Sun Quan and the Jiangdong family was also broken. Although Sun Quan no longer established the post of Grand Governor to control the army, it seemed that he did not have to worry about the Grand Governor threatening his status.
But in fact, the major families in Jiangdong were dissatisfied with the way Sun Quan treated Lu Xun and prevented their talents from supporting Sun Quan. The combat effectiveness of Jiangdong's army declined, and the private soldiers of each family would no longer do their best to serve Sun Quan.
