Why didn’t Sun Quan pass his position to his son, but to his younger brother?

In the situation at that time, if it were me, I would pass the throne to my younger brother instead of my own son. There are several reasons for this:

First, although I have conquered a small piece of land, this land is not stable, and if I am not careful, my success will be ruined.

Sun Ce led his troops into Jiangdong, but was considered an invasion by Jiangdong's wealthy families and scholar-bureaucrats, who regarded Sun Ce as a traitor and traitor! In response to Sun Ce's invasion, the residents of Jiangdong fiercely resisted. Sun Ce led his troops on a killing spree to kill all the heroes from Jiangdong! After the capture of Jiangdong. Sun Ce offended the wealthy Jiangdong family and the common people from other places!

After hearing the news that Sun Ce had been killed, the northern ethnic minorities rebelled one after another and did not obey the young master Sun Quan. And the wealthy families did not submit to Sun Quan's authority. The evaluation of Sun Ce's Jiangdong foundation in "Three Kingdoms? Sun Ce's Biography" is that "the foundation of Sun Ce's Jiangdong is not a foundation of accumulated good deeds, and the country is not solidified by chime stones." This means that Sun Ce's foundation is not a foundation of accumulated good deeds, and the political power is quite unstable.

Before he died, Sun Ce also realized that his killing would bring serious consequences! Therefore, two decisions were made. One was to choose Sun Quan as the successor among the brothers, because Sun Quan was the least like himself and was not good at killing: Sun Ce said: You are not as good as me in terms of killing and fighting, and in terms of winning people's hearts, I am not as good as Baojiangdong. you! The second decision-making plan was to entrust Zhang Zhao. "Three Kingdoms: Zhang Zhao Biography" records that Sun Ce said to Zhang Zhao before his death: If Zhongmou does not do anything, you will take it yourself. If Zhongmou cannot succeed, he will go westward. Return! The meaning is: If Sun Quan can't resist, ask the teacher to replace him. If he still can't resist the rebels, he will retreat quickly and retreat to Jiangxi!

Second, the son was too young and could not hold on to the hard-earned foundation under the circumstances.

Sun Ce was only 26 years old when he died. His son was estimated to be no more than 6 years old in advance. Such a kid, no matter how powerful he is, probably won't be able to hold the crowd together. It can be seen from the above how risky the situation was at that time. Sun Ce's decision not to pass the throne to his son must have been to protect their orphans and widowed mothers from being massacred!

Thirdly, the younger brother is prestigious and talented. More importantly, there is no quarrel with his older brother. Perhaps the relationship between the brothers is relatively good.

Sun Quan was open-minded, benevolent and decisive, advocated chivalry, and liked to cultivate talents, so he gradually became as famous as his father and brother. He often participated in the internal decision-making of Sun Ce's army, and his talents made Sun Ce feel inferior to him. Whenever he entertained guests, Sun Ce often turned to look at Sun Quan and said, "These people are all your subordinates now."

In the first year of Jian'an (196), Sun Ce took over Danyang, Wu, and Kuaiji. After three counties, the fifteen-year-old Sun Quan was appointed as the county magistrate of Yangxian (now Yixing, Jiangsu Province). Zhu Zhicha, the prefect of Wu County, promoted him as Xiaolian, and Yan Xiang, the governor of Yangzhou, promoted him as Maocai. Later, he acted as the acting school captain of Fengyi.

From the fourth year of Jian'an (199) to the beginning of the fifth year of Jian'an (200), Sun Quan followed Sun Ce to conquer Liu Xun, the prefect of Lujiang. After Liu Xun was defeated and fled, he marched into Shaxian, conquered Huang Zu, the prefect of Jiangxia, and took over the two counties of Lujiang and Yuzhang.

Therefore, Sun Quan is the best successor in times of crisis.
