Sun Liang

Who was Sun Liang?

Sun Liang, courtesy name Ziming, was the second emperor of the state of Eastern Wu during the Three Kingdoms period. He was the founding emperor Sun Quan's youngest son and heir. He is also known as the "Prince of Kuaiji" or "Marquis of Houguan", which were his successive titles after his removal in 258 by the regent Sun Chen following his failed attempt to remove Sun Chen from power. He was succeeded by his brother Sun Xiu, who was successful in having Sun Chen killed. Two years after Sun Liang's removal, he was falsely accused of treason and demoted to marquess, and he committed suicide.
