When Sun Xiu died, he just perished, and the situation in Wu was very critical. Ministers thought that Sun Xiu's son was too young to support the whole country, so after deliberation, they thought that an older man should be found to be the emperor to tide over this difficulty.
Zuo Dianjun proposed a candidate, Sun Hao. He said that when he was an official in Sun Hao's fief, he was particularly optimistic about Sun Hao and thought that he was a quick and diligent person. Prime Minister Pu Yangxing and General Zhang Bu thought it was feasible. So under the leadership of the two men, courtiers welcomed Sun Hao as the king of Wu.
When Sun Haogang became emperor, he did all good things. Ordered the opening of warehouses to help the poor, so that those people who have no food can have a bite of rice; Sending all the ladies-in-waiting out of the palace can save money on the one hand, and enable many people without wives to get married, get married and live a stable life on the other hand; He also sent all the exotic animals in the palace back to the wild, because he was devoted to the people and had no time to see them at all.
What he did made the ministers very appreciative, and he felt that he had finally chosen the right person, and Wu had hope.
But it wasn't long before Sun Li's true nature was revealed. Sun Xiu's queen Zhu should have been the queen mother, but Sun Hao refused and insisted that his mother should be the queen mother, forcing Zhu to commit suicide. He didn't take good care of the original prince, so he sealed a prince and sent him away, driving him out of the capital.
In order to ensure the stability of his throne, he also killed Sun Xiu's two eldest sons. Sun Li is such an ungrateful man!
Sun Hao sent all the maids out of the palace just to show them to the ministers. His true nature was exposed, so Sun Li began to choose beautiful women all over the country. The first thing he saw was the daughters of ministers. If he sees them, he will go to the palace to serve him. No one can get married.
Year after year, there are as many as 5000 beautiful women in Sun Hao's harem. Ministers are particularly chilling, and their own flesh and blood are destroyed. Especially, Prime Minister Pu Yangxing and General Zuo Zhang Bu, who elected Sun Hao as the monarch, didn't expect Sun Hao to be such a person.
They said that they especially regretted that Sun Hao had become the Lord of Wu, and the walls had ears. These words finally reached the ears of Sun Hao. Sun Hao killed Puyang Star and Zhang Bu who had always supported him.
More cruelly, Sun Hao likes to kill people. He ordered people to dig a big ditch to bring outside water into the palace. If any concubine, maid-in-waiting or waiter who has no eyes annoys him, he will kill him at once, throw him into the water and float away, or peel his face or gouge out his eyes. Everyone in the palace trembled with fear.
He not only harmed the people in the palace, but also spared the ministers. He especially likes to entertain ministers in the palace. He likes drinking and forces ministers to drink, too. If you don't drink what he prescribed, your life will be over.
After the banquet, let the drunken ministers expose each other. Whether telling the truth or talking nonsense after drinking, as long as it is exposed, it will be killed immediately.
Sun Li's rules for killing people are varied and change with time. Sometimes you are asked to get drunk, and sometimes you are asked not to get drunk. Once drunk, you may never see the sun again.
Every time Sun Hao gives a banquet, the invited ministers seem to be dying. They bid farewell to their wives and children in tears and enter the palace as if they were going to the execution ground.
Sun Hao only cared about pleasure, but forgot his covet for the state of Jin. The state of Jin is actively preparing when to swallow the fat of Wu in one gulp.
In 280, the State of Jin invaded the south, Sun Hao surrendered, and Wu became a part of the State of Jin. However, Emperor Wu of Jin did not kill him, but gave him a chance to live in Luoyang. All the 5,000 beautiful women in Sun Hao Palace were taken away by Jin Wudi, and none were left to Sun Hao. Sun Hao is really going to cry.
Four years later, Sun Hao died.
