The Wu army was caught off guard and was severely defeated by the Wei army. Zhuge Ge, who took the initiative to send troops this time, felt very ashamed and did not dare to go back to see the leader of the Wu state. He could only excuse himself that he was ill and could not go to court. Sun Liang personally went to greet him at his residence, and all the civil and military officials also came to see him. Most of them came to watch the joke. Zhugege felt that he was wrong and was afraid of people's comments, so he sent people to search for the faults of other officials. Those who committed minor crimes were punished directly. He was sent to the border to do coolies, and those who committed serious crimes were beheaded directly. Therefore, the bureaucrats inside and outside were very scared. At the same time, he also sent his confidants Zhang Yue and Zhu En to take charge of the entire Royal Forest Army as his minions to facilitate operations.
There was a man from Sun Jun, named Ziyuan, who was the great-grandson of Sun Jian's younger brother Sun Jing and the son of Sun Gong. When Sun Quan was still there, he liked him very much and appointed him to control the entire imperial army. Now Zhuge Ge sent Zhang Yue and Zhu En to He was very angry when someone went to control the imperial army and seize power. Taichang Qing Teng Yin also did not have a good relationship with Zhuge Ge, so he took the opportunity to drive a wedge between the two people, saying: "Zhuge Ge was tyrannical in the Wu Kingdom and brutally killed him. Sir, you must be disobedient, you are a member of the royal family, why don't you prepare a plan in advance?"
He replied: "Actually, I have wanted to do this for a long time. Now I am going to report to the Emperor of Tomorrow, hoping to get the imperial edict to kill him."
So Sun Jun and Teng Yin secretly went to see Sun Liang overnight and told them about the matter.
Sun Liang sighed and said: "Actually, Zhugege has been very powerful these years. I always feel scared when I see him and want to get rid of him, but there has never been a chance. Now that you have loyal thoughts, you can secretly plot against him. I will be supportive.”
Teng Yin bowed and said: "Your Majesty can personally set up a banquet, summon Zhuge Ge, and then secretly ambush the warriors in the wall clothes, agreeing to break the cup as a secret signal, and kill them during the banquet to avoid future troubles." Sun Liang followed this suggestion.
It is said that after Zhuge Ge returned from defeat, he had been recuperating at home and was restless. One day, when he walked out of the hall, he suddenly saw a man entering wearing mourning clothes. Zhuge Ge quickly reprimanded and asked about the situation. The man seemed panicked, and Zhuge Ge sent The man took it down, and the man told him: "Because my father had just left, I entered the city to seek advice from a monk. At first I thought it was a temple, but I didn't expect it to be the Taifu's mansion, and then I came here."
Zhugege was very angry. He called the soldiers guarding the door to ask, and replied: "There are a dozen of us, all guarding the door. We have never left, and we have never seen anyone enter."
Zhugege was very angry and ordered all these people to be killed. At night, he could not sleep well. Suddenly he heard a sound like thunder in the hall. He went out to see it in person and saw that the beams in the house were broken. He felt Jin was so surprised that he returned. Suddenly a cold wind blew by. He saw that the soldiers who he ordered to be killed and the soldiers guarding the door had no heads. They came to him with their heads in their hands to claim their lives. Zhuge Ge was frightened. , it takes a long time to recover. When he washed his face on the second day, he felt that the whole wash water smelled like blood. Even after changing more than a dozen basins, there was no difference. Just when he was feeling strange, he suddenly reported that the emperor had sent an envoy and summoned the Taifu to go there. feast.
So Zhugege arranged the vehicle and was about to leave the mansion. Suddenly, a big yellow dog grabbed his robe and made a whining sound, as if someone was crying.
Zhuge Ge was furious and said: "Is the puppy teasing me?" So he sent people around to drive him away, got on the car and was about to leave. After walking a few steps, he suddenly saw a white rainbow appearing in front of the car, rising from the ground and reaching into the sky. Go, Zhuge Ge felt very strange, and his confidant Zhang Yue also saw it. He gently walked to the carriage and said: "Now there is a banquet suddenly held in the palace. I don't know what the purpose is. It's better not to go, my lord."
After hearing this, Zhuge Ge thought it made sense, so he ordered to return. After walking less than ten steps, suddenly Sun Jun and Teng Yin arrived on horseback. They came to the carriage and asked, "Why do you want to return, Taifu?"
Zhugege said: "My stomach is not feeling well, and I am not suitable to see the emperor."
Teng Yin said: "The imperial court has never thanked the Taifu for his return, so they are holding this banquet to discuss important matters. Although the Taifu feels uncomfortable, he might as well go there reluctantly."
Zhugege could only follow this suggestion and entered the palace with Sun Jun and Teng Yin, followed by Zhang Yue.
Zhugege saw Sun Liang, saluted him, and sat down according to the seats at the banquet. Sun Liang ordered the wine to be served. Zhugege felt strange and said goodbye: "I am sick and cannot drink."
Sun Jun smiled slightly, knowing that he was afraid that the wine was poisonous, so he said: "There is medicinal wine in the Taifu's mansion. Can I drink it?"
He replied: "Okay!" So he sent someone to fetch his medicinal wine from the mansion, and Zhuge Ge could rest assured. After drinking for three rounds, Sun Liang excused himself and asked to leave because he had something to do. Sun Jun also left, took off his clothes, and changed his clothes. Wearing short clothes and armor underneath, holding weapons in his hands, he entered the hall and shouted: "The Emperor has an edict to kill this traitor!"
Zhugege was very surprised, threw the cup on the ground, and prepared to draw his sword to challenge, but his head had already fallen to the ground. Zhang Yue saw Sun Jun killing Zhugege, and he swung his sword to challenge. Sun Jun dodged, and the sword slipped and killed him. The finger on the left was cut off. Sun Jun counterattacked with a knife and hit Zhang Yue's arm. The warrior heard the sound and came out from behind. He chopped Zhang Yue to the ground and chopped him into pieces.
Sun Jun ordered the warriors to surround Zhugege's family members. At the same time, he sent people to wrap the bodies of Zhang Yue and Zhugege in straw mats, load them in small carts, and dump them directly in a mass grave outside the south of the city.
After Zhugege left, his wife felt in a trance and uneasy in the room. Suddenly a maid walked in and asked, "Why are you covered in blood? What did you do?"
The maid suddenly gritted her teeth, her eyes bled, and she hit her head on the beam, shouting: "I am Zhugege, I am possessed by this maid, and now I have been killed by a traitor!" Zhugege's whole family burst into tears. Within a short while, the army surrounded his mansion, and his whole family, old and young, were dragged to the market and beheaded. It was the winter of October of the second year of Wu Jianxing.
When Zhuge Jin was here before, he was worried about this son. He often saw Zhuge Ge being smart, but felt depressed, and sighed: "My son is not the one who protects the family!" And Zhang Ji, the doctor of Wei Guanglu, also once said this. He said to Master Sima privately: "Zhuge Ge will be executed soon."
Master Sima asked about the reason and replied: "He has great achievements. Even if Sun Liang doesn't want to kill him, other ministers will find a way. How can he exist for a long time?"
The news soon spread to the Central Plains and Western Shu, saying that Sun Jun had killed Zhuge Ge. Sun Liang made Sun Jun prime minister, general, and Marquis of Fuchun. He had an overview of Wu's military power, and the power was transferred.
When the army was dispatched, Wu Zengjin sent an envoy. Yuyi forwarded the letter to Jiang Wei, and also agreed to the Northern Expedition. Jiang Wei was in Chang'an, received the forwarded letter, and went to Chengdu to report to Liu Chan. Liu Chan saw Yuyi. With his approval, without saying a word, he asked Jiang Wei to get ready, and also told him that if it was something Yu Yi had determined, there was no need to report it.
