Chapter 167 3. Chaos is the main theme of history

Cao Cao died at the age of 66, Liu Bei died at the age of 63, and only Sun Quan lived the longest at 71 years old. Sun Quan's father is Sun Jian, and his mother is Wu Cainv.This is a perfect combination, the man has courage, and the woman imparts wisdom.But unfortunately, the seeds of madness lurk in Sun Jian's blood.To put it plainly, the Sun family suffers from familial mental illness. What evidence is there?The first person to get sick was Sun Quan. He once wanted to kill Yu Fan, a celebrity who only knew how to flatter, because he was too drunk.After that, Sun Quan turned on Zhang Zhao, an old courtier. Zhang Zhao got angry and hid at home and refused to go out. Sun Quan called him outside, but Zhang Zhao didn't answer.Sun Quan sealed Zhang Zhao's house with mud, and later set fire to Zhang Zhao's house, trying to burn Zhang Zhao out. This kind of behavior is too childish, and it is obviously too far away from adults.

After Sun Quan's death, his youngest son, Sun Liang, took the throne.Sun Liang's mother, surnamed Pan, was killed because her father committed a crime, and she was taken into the palace as a slave.Pan was fined to weave in the weaving room in the palace. One day she was weaving, Sun Quan ran in suddenly and found that Pan was beautiful, so he couldn't help but say that he raped Pan and gave birth to Sun Liang, who was Sun Quan's seventh son. a son. Sun Liang was smart since he was a child. Once he wanted to eat honey and asked the eunuch to ask the official in charge of the treasury. After the honey was brought, he found that there was rat droppings in it.So Sun Liang called the official who was in charge of the treasury and asked, "Did the eunuch ask you for honey?" The official replied, "Yes, but I didn't give it to him." It was indeed dry inside, which proved that rat droppings had just been put in.His intelligence is astonishing.

But when Sun Liang came to the throne, he was young, just nine years old.The political power was controlled by the power minister Sun Wei.This Sun Chen is the great-grandson of Sun Jian's younger brother.So Xiao Sun Liang secretly arranged to destroy Sun Chen's reactionary clique. So Sun Liang approached Quan Ji, the queen's brother, and said to him, "I will arrange to destroy Sun Chen and his group. The plan has been drawn up and there will be no problems. This matter will be carried out by you and your father, but, Your mother is Sun Chen's cousin, so don't tell your mother about this, do you hear me clearly?"

Quan Ji said: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I still have some sense of propriety." Then when Quan Ji came home, his mother asked him: "What does the emperor want from you?" Quan Ji said: "It's nothing, I just want to get rid of Sun Chen and his gang. This is a state secret, mom, don't tell anyone." Quan Ji's mother said: "Look at you child, do you think your mother is a woman who likes to pull your wife's tongue?" After finishing speaking, Quan Ji's mother found a little maid and said, "I have a letter here, saying that the emperor wants to get rid of my cousin Sun Chen, please tell Sun Chen to run quickly, the letter must be delivered safely, hear Already?"

The little maid sent the letter to Sun Chen.Sun Chen cried and said, "My cousin still loves me." So Sun Chen raised troops overnight, entered the cousin's house, killed the cousin's husband on the spot, and scared the cousin's eyes.Then Sun Chen led his troops into the palace and abolished the clever little emperor Sun Liang. Sun Liang was the emperor for only seven years before he was abolished.Two years later, Sun Liang committed suicide.He was just 18 years old when he died. Sun Liang was abolished, and Sun Wei made Sun Liang's sixth brother, Sun Xiu, emperor.Sun Xiu had been emperor for six years and died at the age of 30. Finally it was the turn of the mentally ill Sun Hao to ascend the throne.

Sun Hao is a typical scumbag. After he took office, he ordered all the ministers to send their daughters to the palace for him to choose, and only the rest were allowed to leave the palace to marry.In addition, he is also a torture enthusiast, and he especially likes to use the cruelest poison to torture innocent people.In order to get enough people for him to kill, he arranged for ten eunuchs to stand in the hall and watch. If the eunuchs saw anyone who was not pleasing to the eye, they would drag him over, or peel off his face alive, or goug out his eyes.He also thought it would be troublesome to dispose of the corpse, so he ordered the rushing water to be drawn into the palace, and the corpse was thrown directly into the river and floated away along the river.

There was a minister, He Xi, who made Sun Hao hold a grudge because he advised Sun Hao not to be so cruel.Soon after, He Xie suffered a stroke and lost his ability to speak. Sun Hao ordered someone to arrest him and torture him severely: "Speak, speak to me..." He insisted on forcing He Xie to speak.After more than a thousand lashes, He Xie still hadn't recovered his ability to speak. Sun Hao was furious, thinking that He Xie was trying to quarrel with him, so he sawed off He Xie's head with a red-hot saw. This tragedy also detonated an idiom.He said he was the son of He Xie, and later he went to work with Sima Yan, Emperor Wu of Jin Dynasty. Suddenly one day, Sima Yan asked him with great interest: "Hey, Sun Hao used a red-hot saw to saw off a person's head before. That unlucky guy Which one is it?"

At that time, He Shuang's son was filled with grief and indignation, crying and saying, "I am in a dilemma." This matter made Sima Yan ashamed to see people for many days. Compared to Sima Yan, Sun Hao didn't feel ashamed at all.Because he is separated from normal human emotions, and his intelligence is also lacking.A charlatan named Diao Xuan fooled him, saying: "The yellow flag and the purple cover are found in the southeast. The one who will end up in the world will be the king of Jingyang." It means that the brutal Sun Hao will rule the world.Guess what Sun Hao did?He immediately led the soldiers to set off, going to Luoyang in a mighty way to take over the state power, but encountered a heavy snowstorm on the way, and countless soldiers froze to death.The soldiers said angrily that if we encounter Jin soldiers, we will turn against us immediately, so Sun Hao had to stop this unreliable action.

Seeing that Sun Hao was making such a fuss, Sima Yan of the Western Jin Dynasty had no choice but to come out to control him. The Jin army came together by land and water and destroyed Soochow in 280 AD. At this point, the Three Kingdoms are all destroyed, and the world is unified.But this unification is only a short-term process, and there will be greater chaos in the future.The Western Jin Dynasty will also perish soon, and the era of the Northern and Southern Dynasties of the Five Disorders of China is coming. Why is the world in such chaos?This is because the Chinese people's thinking and cognition is chaotic.For example, in the early years, the Cao Cao family seized the Han family, and Zhuge Wuhou of Western Shu used this reason to send troops to crusade.Later, the Sima family seized the Cao family, and Jiang Wei of Western Shu used this reason to crusade.This reason has been explained thoroughly. In fact, there is only one sentence: violent regimes do not have legitimacy.But the Chinese lack this concept, and can only passively accept one illegal violent regime after another. Since the regime is illegal, how can the world be ruled by law?

Therefore, chaos and governance have become the enduring theme in our history.
