In 200 AD, Sun Ce was assassinated and he saw his father again. At that time, he shouldered the heavy responsibility of cleaning up the remnants of the army. Now his children are very young and the Central Plains is unstable, so it is impossible to inherit his power. According to the distance between relatives and friends, Sun Ce can only choose one of his four younger brothers as the heir. For the above three reasons, Sun Ce chose Sun Quan, who was old and wise since childhood, as his successor.

Sun Ce, whose real name is Fu Bo, is the eldest son of Jiangdong Tiger Sun Jian and one of the main founders of Jiangdong Foundation. In 19 1 year, Sun Jian attacked Jingzhou and was killed by Huang Zu, the general of Jingzhou Liu Biao. Sun Ce, who was only 17 years old, buried him and started his career. Sun Ce and Zhou Yu are the same age. After several years of conquest, they have established a foundation in Jiangdong.

However, in 200 AD, when Sun Ce was hunting in Dantu Mountain, as expected by Guo Jia, Cao Cao's counselor, he was assassinated by the guests of Xugong, the former magistrate of Wuxian County.

According to relevant historical records, Sun Ce had four sons and four brothers. Why did he choose Sun Quan as his successor? The following two aspects are analyzed as follows: no four sons, Sun Quan.

Don't give it to your four children.

Some people say that Sun Yat-sen didn't give the foundation in Jiangdong to his children because his four children were too young. Although Sun Ce's son Shao's age is not recorded, he was only 26 when he died. Even if he gets married and has children at the age of 18, his son Sun Shao is only seven or eight years old at most. As for his three daughters, they are not only children, but also women. It is difficult for him to inherit power.

It is true that it is difficult for children to inherit power, but it is not absolutely impossible to inherit power. In the Han dynasty, it is not surprising that many children of a few years old inherited the throne, such as Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Some ministers also inherited power. For example, when Huan Xuan's father Huan Wen died at the age of five in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, he inherited the throne of his father, the Southern Army.

At present, Sun Ce has not given power to its children. There are other reasons besides age.

At that time, we were in a difficult period and there were many disputes. We need an adult to take charge. There are many? Two kings? . When these emperors grow up, they can also control their own power. There are great reasons for the great unity of this country. As long as the assistant minister can assist the emperor step by step and properly handle government affairs, the pressure on the emperor is not great. Sooner or later, the little emperor will grow up and take power. If someone wants to hurt the little emperor, countless loyal ministers will stand up to protect the little emperor.

At present, the foundation of Jiangdong is only a rudiment, and there are many opposition forces. For example, Sun Ce, who was killed by Xu Gong's disciples, is not satisfied with himself. At that time, besides Jiangdong, there were many hostile forces, such as Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Cao Cao, Liu Bei and Liu Biao.

Therefore, for everything, Sun Ce can only hand over the land he and his father Sun Jian zoned to the elderly, not the seven or eight-year-old children.

So Sun Ce has four brothers, Sun Quan, Sun Yi, Sun Kuang and Sun Lang. Why not give power to the other three people, but to his younger brother Sun Quan? There are three reasons.

First of all, when Sun Ce died, Sun Quan was his eldest brother.

Sun Ce died in 200 AD. This year, Sun Quan 19 was just an adult. He can think and handle political affairs independently. Sun Ce's other brothers are younger, such as Sun Yi, Sun Kuang, Sun Lang, Sun Yi, Sun Kuang and Sun Lang. Sun Yi is two years younger than Sun Quan, and Sun Kuang and Sun Lang are younger than Sun Quan. Sun Lang is still a civilian, and he is not qualified to inherit.

When Sun Jian died, Sun Ce was only 17 years old, which was not enough to break out of a world by himself. Sun Ce had no choice but to choose one of his four brothers to inherit his inheritance. He chose Sun Quan.

Second, Sun Quan has made great achievements since he was a child, and he is loved by Sun Ce.

Sun Quan is a respected man, advocating chivalry, especially his father and brother. He likes to be with capable people. In the first year of Jian 'an (196), after Sun Ce conquered Danyang, Wu and Huiji counties, Sun Quan, aged 15, was appointed as the county magistrate of Yangxian County and began to handle government affairs.

Third, Sun Ce thinks that compared with Sun Quan, he feels ashamed.
