Chapter 162 Emperor Wu of Han (Final Chapter)

However, Sun Yin's mother died of illness in her early years. The princess consort that Sun Yu subsequently appointed gave birth to a son and two daughters for him. Among them, the second son, Sun Tan, was especially loved by Sun Yu.

As for choosing a crown prince, Sun Yu preferred his second legitimate son, Sun Tan, who was eighteen years old this year, to be the crown prince.

Sun Tan had several civil officials as his teachers since he was young and was deeply supported by them. So when it came to choosing the crown prince, the civil officials actually abandoned their long-held principle of "establishing the legitimate son rather than a concubine's son, and establishing the eldest son rather than the youngest" and supported Sun Tan as the crown prince.

Sun Yin's mother was Xiang Yu's granddaughter, and Sun Yin was also a skilled martial artist, so the generals naturally supported him to be the crown prince.

Just when the civil and military officials in the court were arguing fiercely about the issue of appointing a crown prince, the retired emperor Sun Hao suddenly intervened and directly appointed Sun Yin as the crown prince, and conferred the title of King Anle on Sun Tan. He also placed the King Anle's fiefdom in the distant New World.

Because of the issue of appointing a crown prince, Sun Hao also dismissed a large number of civil officials, which allowed the military generals who were originally somewhat weak in the court to raise their heads again.

What no one expected was that just as the turmoil over the crown prince had subsided, Sun Yu, who had been emperor for less than three months, suddenly died of illness.

In less than three months, two emperors died, causing some turmoil in the Han court. However, under the pressure of Sun Hao, Sun Yin quickly ascended the throne and became emperor, making some people's plans come to nothing.

After Sun Yin ascended the throne, Sun Hao lived in the imperial palace in Anyang City for three years. Only when Sun Yin became a qualified emperor did Sun Hao prepare to return to the royal garden outside the city.

"Great-grandfather, you should stay in the palace!

"I feel a little uneasy now that you're gone," Emperor Sun Yin said as he supported Sun Hao.

Sun Hao smiled and said, "Your great-grandfather is already eighty-six years old this year, and it's time for him to enjoy his retirement.

Now, under your governance, our Han Dynasty is becoming more and more prosperous. Don't worry, my great-grandfather will hand over the Han Dynasty to you.

Just remember what your great-grandfather told you: put the people first, and you will become a wise ruler like your grandfather."

On the morning of January 17, 267 of the Han calendar, Sun Hao closed his eyes forever at the age of 96. He was posthumously named Emperor Zhongwu and temple name Sejong. He was buried in the imperial mausoleum outside Anyang City.

Later generations called Sun Hao Emperor Wu of Han!
