〃Sun Chen holds all real power and does as he wishes; while I am despised;〃 said the Ruler of Wu。 〃Something must be done。〃

Quan Ji said; 〃I would think no sacrifice too great if Your Majesty would make use of me。〃

〃If you could muster the Palace guards and help General Liu Cheng to keep the gates; I would go and murder that ruffian。 But you must not let anyone know; for if you tell your noble mother; who is a sister of Sun Chen; she will tell her brother; and that would be very serious for me。〃

〃Will Your Majesty give me a mand that I may have authority to act when the time es?〃 said Quan Ji。 〃At the critical moment I could show the edict and hold back Sun Chens supporters。〃

The mand was given; and Quan Ji went home。 But he could not keep his secret; and confided the plan to his father; Quan Shang。

His father told his wife; 〃Sun Chen will be got rid of in three days。〃

〃Oh; he deserves that;〃 said she。

Although she seemed to approve with her tongue; she sent a secret messenger with a letter to the proposed victim。

That same night Sun Chen called in his four leader brothers; and the Palace was surrounded。 The conspirators were seized; with Liu Cheng and Quan Shang and all their families。

About dawn the Ruler of Wu was disturbed by a motion at the gates; and a servant told him; 〃Sun Chen with his army has surrounded the Inner Palace!〃

Sun Liang knew that he had been betrayed。 He turned on Empress Quan; who was of the Quan house; and reproached her。

〃Your father and brother have upset all my plans!〃

Drawing his sword; he was dashing out when his Consort and her people clung to his clothing and held him back。

After putting to death Liu Chengs and Quan Shangs parties; Sun Chen assembled the officers in the court and addressed them thus: 〃The Emperor is vicious and weak; depraved and foolish and unfit for his high office。 Wherefore he must be deposed。 Any of you who oppose will be punished as for conspiracy。〃

〃We shall obey your mand; O General!〃 said the court officiers out of fear。

Only one of those present dared to say a word of protest。

It was Chair of the Secretariat Huan Yi; who said; 〃How dare you utter such words? Our Emperor is very intelligent; and I will not support you。 I would rather die!〃

Sun Chen wrathfully drew his sword and slew Huan Yi。

Then Sun Chen went into the Palace and said to Sun Liang; 〃O unrighteous and unenlightened Highness; your death would be the only fitting reparation to make to the empire; but out of consideration for your ancestors you are only deposed and degraded to princely rank as Prince of Kuaiji。 I will select a worthy successor。〃

Secretary Li Zong was ordered to bring in the royal seal; which was delivered to Deng Cheng。 The deposed ruler retired weeping。

The sage example of the wise Yi Yin*

Perverted now to traitors use we see;

And Huo Guangs faithful services* are made

A cloak to cover vilest treachery。

Even able princes are but toys of fate;

And need our pity; fallen from high estate。

'e' Yi Yin was was helper and prime minister of King Tang; the founder of Shang Dynasty。 After King Tangs death; Yi Yin served his sons and grandson。 Soon after Tai Jia; King Tangs grandson; ascended the throne; he mitted many faults; and Yi Yin; acting as regent; exiled Tai Jia to Tong Palace………the burial place of King Tang。 After three years Yi Yin returned him the throne。 Tai Jia eventually became an enlightened emperor。 Shang Dynasty lasted for 650 years (BC 1700…1050)。 It was this act of Yi Yin rather than his services in building up an empire that has made him immortal。 Whether he did right in temporarily dethroning the king was open to question; until a final verdict was rendered by Mencius who thought that his ends amply justified his means。 This historical event attests the extent of the power exercised by a prime minister in those days。 。。。。。

'e' Huo Guang (BC ?…68) a general and regent of Han。 After Emperor Wu died; Huo Guang became regent to three successive emperors; and the second one had been the Prince of Changyi; who was on the throne for only twenty…seven days。 Huo Guang had the Prince of Changyi declared unfit to rule and deposed him。 Even though Huo Guang contributed much to the empires stabilization; after he died; he was distanced by the emperor and most of his family were executed for conspiracy charges。 。。。。。

Sun Chen then sent two ministers of the court; Royal Clan Recorder Sun Kai and Secretary Dong Cao; went as envoys to Hulin to request Sun Xiu; Prince of Langye; the sixth son of Sun Quan; to ascend the throne。

The Emperor…elect had had some premonition of the high honor to which he was now called; for in a dream he saw he ascended into the skies seated on a dragon。 Only the dragon seemed to have no tail。 He woke up in a fright; and the next day brought the Imperial Envoys; Sun Kai and Dong Cao。

Sun Xiu set out。 At Que his carriage was stopped by a venerable old man who claimed to be Gan Xiu and offered felicitations。
