Why did Lu Xun, who was related to Sun Quan, die tragically in the end?

Lu Xun was a man of both civil and military talents and made outstanding contributions to the establishment of the Soochow regime. However, in the end, Lu Xun died miserably and did not receive a good death. The main reasons why Lu Xun did not get a good death are as follows:

Firstly, it was because Sun Quan did not trust Lu Xun. Sun Quan appointed Lu Xun as the governor-general, not because he had great trust in him, but out of helplessness. In order to attack Jingzhou, Lu Meng asked Sun Quan to act as the governor-general, in order to make Guan Yu lose his guard. Under such circumstances, Sun Quan appointed Lu Xun as the governor to replace Lu Meng. After Lu Xun became the governor-general, Sun Quan never dared to fully delegate power. When Lu Xun's status reached a certain level, Sun Quan's distrust of him gradually increased, and eventually he became murderous.

The second reason is that Sun Quan must kill Lu Xun because he once participated in the "Lunan Party Struggle". The "Lunan Party Struggle" was the struggle for the right to inherit the throne between the crown prince and the king of Lu. At that time, the court was divided into two factions, one supported the king of Lu and the other supported the prince. The two factions often fought fiercely, almost causing The division of the country. Under such circumstances, Sun Quan had to depose the crown prince and kill King Lu. Lu Xun was the "princeling" of the "Lunan Party Struggle" and the direct promoter of the "Lunan Party Struggle". At that time, he wrote to Sun Quan many times, requesting Sun Quan to let the prince inherit the throne, but Sun Quan ignored him even once. In Sun Quan's view, who should inherit the throne was his family matter, and no one could interfere, especially a founding hero like Lu Xun, let alone one who was a founding hero like Lu Xun. Now that Lu Xun is involved, there is only a dead end.

The third reason is that the Lu family where Lu Xun belongs is one of the "four major families" in Jiangdong. The Lu family has a very high reputation in Jiangdong. If Sun Quan wants to gain a foothold in Jiangdong, he must win over the Lu family and get the support of the wealthy Lu family. Lu Xun is the representative of the Lu family. As Lu Xun's status in Wu Guozhong continues to increase, As the tide improves, the Lu family also rises. Sun Quan was worried that the Lu family was too powerful and would threaten his throne, so he had to take action against Lu Xun.

It is precisely because of these reasons that Lu Xun did not die a happy death.
