The Taichu Palace Incident ended with Sun Ba's failure.
Under the guise of visiting Sun Quan in the palace, Sun Ba tried to lead his close confidants to control the Taichu Palace, forcing Sun Quan to write an abdication edict, and then used Sun Quan's sudden death to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor.
It can be seen from this plan that whether Sun Ba's brain is strong enough or not, he is ready to make Sun Quan "suddenly die". What difference does it make whether Sun Quan writes an abdication edict or not? !
Are you kidding me? !
Therefore, Sun Ba's plan was completely impossible to succeed. Even as soon as Sun Ba entered the Taichu Palace, the dead soldiers he brought were already surrounded and killed by the Soochow Forbidden Army.
This is completely expected.
Sun Shiwan's military ability has been criticized again and again, but his control of the political situation is still one of the best in this era.
With Sun Ba's little ability and this is a hastily launched coup, there is no possibility of success no matter how you think about it.
Then, Sun Quan came forward directly. In the name of disobedience and unfilial piety, he demoted Sun Ba to a commoner, exiled him to Jiaozhou, and summoned the prince Sun He back to Jianye to supervise the country.
Yes, Sun Ba launched a coup, but Sun Quan still did not kill Sun Ba.
It's not that Sun Quan doesn't want to kill Sun Ba. In fact, Sun Quan has never been an emotional animal. He is a purely political animal. If his rights are threatened, he will not blink even if he kills his own son.
However, under the pressure of the current situation, Sun Quan could not kill Sun Ba immediately.
Lu Dai, Quan Cong, and Bu Zhao all belong to Sun Ba's faction. They may have chosen to support Sun Ba out of their own interests. However, Sun Ba's mutiny has failed now. If Sun Quan kills Sun Ba, it is difficult to say that these people will What's the reaction?
In peacetime, there is certainly no problem in killing Sun Ba. Sun Quan thought he could still control the situation.
But now it is wartime, Lu Dai and Quan Cong are on the front line, and Bu Zhao is in the most important position when inspecting places.
If the failure of Sun Ba's palace change triggered a backlash among these people, they might be afraid that Sun Ba's incident would implicate them, and thus surrender to the enemy. It is not impossible.
Therefore, Sun Quan could not even directly announce that Sun Ba was charged with treason. He could only accuse Sun Ba of disobedience and unfilial piety.
This crime was also carefully considered by Sun Quan.
To put it more seriously, being charged with this crime is basically equivalent to losing the right to inherit the throne. The values of this era determine that a rebellious person cannot be supported by anyone.
At the same time, Sun Quan also used this charge to tell those former supporters of Sun Ba that they no longer had any worries about cutting off or changing families, and that he would not pursue Sun Ba's supporters for the charge of rebellion, so that everyone could feel relieved.
Sun Quan is really trying his best to maintain internal stability while ensuring that the external world does not collapse.
However, Sun Quan was old after all, and he was tricked twice by his two stupid sons. He really couldn't bear such a big blow. After dealing with the aftermath of the Taichu Palace Incident, he fell ill again.
The reason for recalling the crown prince and supervising the country was actually because of this.
Now that the front line is still fighting, if Soochow wants to survive this difficulty, the first thing it must do is not to cause chaos within itself. Sun Quan fell ill and was unable to take charge of the overall situation. Then he could only ask Sun He, the prince, to step in and stabilize people's hearts.
Of course, Sun Quan also knew that with Sun He's ability, it would be no problem to use his reputation to stabilize people's hearts, but if you expect him to exercise the power of governing the country, you are really thinking blindly.
Therefore, Sun Quan privately summoned Bu Zhi and allowed Gu Yong and Bu Zhi to temporarily control the government together. At the same time, Sun Sheng was asked to lead the imperial army to defend Jianye City.
Obviously, even at this time, Sun Quan still did not forget about checks and balances, and the arrangements he made were quite good.
However, Sun Quan still didn't expect that the situation he had made so many arrangements and worked so hard to stabilize would be completely ruined on the first day his second son returned to Jianye.
After Sun He hurriedly returned to Jianye from Jiangxia, the first thing he did after Jianguo took power was not to stabilize the internal affairs or care about the war. Instead, he sent his own East Palace Guards to intercept and kill Sun Ba's family who had already gone to Jiaozhou.
You must have done this, and made Sun Quan, whose condition was not getting better, immediately fainted.
Sun Ba is accused of being disobedient and unfilial, and there is no longer any threat. Even if you, Sun He, really can't swallow this breath and want to kill Sun Ba, you can't kill him now and wait until he arrives in Jiaozhou to give Sun Ba a chance. Isn't it good for him to die suddenly because he was "acclimatized"? !
Kill him now, and you still sent your own East Palace Guards to do this stupid thing. Do you really think that everyone in the world is stupid when you have done such a stupid thing? !
The Crown Prince and Sun Ba cannot get along with Sun Ba, who has been reduced to a useless person. So what will happen to these former supporters of Sun Ba? !
The prince did this as soon as he took power. If he ascends the throne, how can everyone survive? !
Now, what will the original supporters of Sun Ba’s faction who Sun Quan finally appeased think? !
Especially Quan Cong, Bu Zhi, and Lu Dai. Now these three people are related to the success or failure of the two fronts.
For this reason, it is no wonder that Sun Quan fainted with anger after hearing the news. After finally waking up again, Sun Quan even wanted to discuss with Bu Zhi and Gu Yong whether to change someone to be the prince.
But it's a pity that the external situation is in turmoil. If the Shaoguo suspicion is once again suspected internally, Soochow will really be dead.
Therefore, Sun Quan had no choice but to continue to recuperate, pretending not to know about the matter, and temporarily settled the matter in private, but gave in and asked Sun Luban to write to Lu Dai and Sun Luban to write to Quan Cong. For thoughts.
Obviously, Sun Quan wanted to recover as soon as possible and then take back Sun He's power. Facts have proved that Sun He is not a qualified successor to the king.
But, some things are just like that. It doesn’t mean that things will develop exactly how you want them to.
Sun Quan tried to wipe Sun He's butt, but Sun He didn't appreciate it at all.
Next, he first deprived Quan Cong of his official position, handed over the command of the Sanjiangkou garrison to veteran general Ding Feng, and asked Quan Cong to return to Jianye immediately to report on his duties.
Then, Sun He ordered Bu Zhi to be imprisoned and investigated on the grounds that Bu Zhi had committed malfeasance, accepted bribes and other behaviors during his inspection of the local area.
As soon as these two decrees came out, good guy, Sun Quan could no longer lie quietly in bed. This directly overturned all the efforts Sun Quan had made before.
Now Sun Quan seriously doubts that his two sons are undercover agents sent by the Shu Han, right? !
Sun Quan was forced to hold on and appeared in front of the officials again. In front of the officials, he took back the rights of Sun He and the governor, and re-directed the affairs. But this behavior only lasted less than ten days.
As a result, Sun Quan's condition became more and more serious, and he really didn't have that much energy to deal with government affairs. After barely holding on for ten days, Sun Quan fell into a coma again.
Secondly, in these ten days, the battle ahead changed again.
The first was in the direction of Sanjiangkou. Due to the back-and-forth replacement of coach candidates and several defeats, the Soochow Navy stationed in Sanjiangkou was already at a disadvantage in terms of strength and morale.
Therefore, although Ding Feng tried hard to save the situation, he was ultimately defeated three times under the continuous fierce attacks of Yang Xi and Wang Jun.
In order to preserve the last combat power of the Soochow Navy and to ensure that there was still naval power to continue to surround Jianye, Ding Feng decided to lead the navy to temporarily retreat and retreat to the Poyang Lake Water Village for rest.
Secondly, it is the direction of Moling County.
Zhu Ran finally arrived at Moling County and intercepted the troops crossing the river led by Zhang Xi. After a battle, the two sides fell into a confrontation.
However, Zhu Ran discovered that Zhang Xi did not rush to attack after crossing the river. Instead, he adopted a steady and steady attack mode, increasing troops and stockpiling grain at the same time, and was prepared for a protracted war.
Obviously, it is very dangerous for Soochow to allow the enemy to gain a foothold in Moling County for a long time.
For this reason, Zhu Ran wanted to take the initiative, attack Zhang Xi's headquarters, and drive the Shu army back to the north bank of the Yangtze River. However, Zhu Ran was afraid that he would not be able to defeat Zhang Xi because of insufficient troops, so he asked Jianye for a second batch of reinforcements.
Third, Lu Kai from Yuzhang County sent news that Shi Bao from Changsha County was ready to attack Yuzhang County from Jingnan.
Although the threat of attacking Yuzhang County from Changsha is not too great, now that Moling County is under attack, if there is another movement from Yuzhang County, they will have to divide their troops and garrison them. This will greatly divide the country. Wu's garrison was deployed.
So, no matter what.
Fourth, Lu Dai from Jiaozhou also sent back news, saying that he had fought several battles with Shu thieves in the north of Jiaozhou and deceived the outcome. However, the threat of Shu thieves could not be completely eliminated for a while, so the transfer of grain and grass to Jiaozhou still needed to be done. Slow down for some time.
Fifth, Gu Yong, who is responsible for handling grain and grass tax collection, found that even after this year’s autumn harvest, the civilian grain and grass crisis has been alleviated to a certain extent, but due to the increasingly tense war front, if the Shu thieves cannot be repelled before the end of the year, Attack, if the grain and grass in Jiaozhou cannot be transferred in place, I am afraid that there will still be a grain and grass crisis in the spring of next year.
sixth
Anyway, there were a lot of things, and Sun Quan spent too much energy dealing with them. In the end, he couldn't hold on and fell ill and passed out again.
As soon as Sun Quan fell ill, these difficult things still needed someone to deal with some things. Gu Yong and Bu Zhi could discuss and solve them, but there were some things that Gu Yong and Bu Zhi didn't have enough authority to do.
Therefore, in theory, if the emperor is unable to govern, it will be time for the prince to step in to supervise the country.
But what about Sun He's ability? Now let alone Bu Zhao, even Gu Yong, the original princeling, was worried about Sun He's ability.
Really, this guy is the greatest luck for Da Wu.
