Sun Ju 孫據

Sun Ju appears in the account of Sun Chen in the Biographies of Zhuge Ke, Teng Yin, the Two Suns and Puyang Xing (Records of Wu 19). His elder brother Sun Chen, courtesy name Zitong, shared a grandfather with Sun Jun, and their father Sun Zhuo was Commandant Who Pacifies the People. When Sun Jun died, Sun Chen, as Palace Attendant and General of the Martial Guard, took command of all the forces inside and outside the capital and ran the government of the court, and was later promoted to General-in-Chief and enfeoffed as Marquis of Yongning.

When Zhuge Dan, General-in-Chief of Wei, rebelled holding Shouchun, Sun Chen called up troops on a large scale, encamped at Huoli and had Zhu Yi attack Wei. When Zhu Yi was defeated again and again and would not obey the order to fight to the death with thirty thousand men, Sun Chen beheaded him at Huoli, and just then Zhuge Dan was defeated, so Sun Chen led his army back. Chen Shou wrote that because Sun Chen had failed to rescue Zhuge Dan, had lost his troops and had himself killed a famous general, there was no one who did not resent him. Records, Wu 19 §84–86

When Sun Liang first took personal charge of government and questioned him more and more, Sun Chen became very afraid. Returning to Jianye, he pleaded illness and did not attend court, and built a residence south of the Zhuque Bridge. He then placed his younger brother Sun Ju, General Who Awes the Distant, in the Canglong Gate on guard duty, and stationed his younger brothers Sun En, General of the Martial Guard, Sun Gan, Lieutenant General, and Sun Kai (孫闓), Colonel of the Changshui, separately in the various camps, seeking to dominate the court and secure his own position. Records, Wu 19 §87

Sun Liang plotted with Princess Sun Luban, the Minister of Ceremonies Quan Shang and the general Liu Cheng to kill Sun Chen, but Sun Liang's consort, the daughter of Sun Chen's elder female cousin, revealed the plot to Sun Chen. On the wuwu day of the 9th month of the 3rd year of Taiping (258), Sun Chen led his followers to attack Quan Shang by night, sent his younger brother Sun En to kill Liu Cheng outside the Canglong Gate, and then surrounded the palace, deposing Sun Liang and making him Prince of Kuaiji. Then, on the advice of the army director Shi Zheng, he summoned Sun Xiu, Prince of Langya, and set him on the throne. Chen Shou's main text does not record what Sun Ju did at this time.

After taking the throne, Sun Xiu issued an edict making the General-in-Chief Sun Chen Chancellor and Governor of Jing Province. Sun En became Imperial Counsellor and General of the Guards and Sun Ju General of the Right, both becoming county marquises; Sun Gan became a general of miscellaneous title and a village marquis, and Sun Kai too was enfeoffed as a village marquis. Chen Shou wrote that five men of Sun Chen's one family became lords and all commanded the palace troops, so that their power overshadowed the sovereign, something never before seen among the ministers of the Wu court. Records, Wu 19 §95–96

The Biographies of the Three Successor Rulers in Book 3 date this edict to the renwu day of the 10th month, in winter, of the 1st year of Yong'an (258). In the passage making the General Who Awes the Distant General of the Right and a county marquis, however, the character of his name is written not 據 (Ju) but 授 (Shou). Records, Wu 3 §24

When Sun Chen brought beef and wine to Sun Xiu and Sun Xiu would not accept them, Sun Chen went to the General of the Left Zhang Bu and spoke resentfully, and Zhang Bu reported this to Sun Xiu. After Sun Chen asked to go out and be stationed at Wuchang, Sun Xiu consulted Zhang Bu in secret, and Zhang Bu, together with Ding Feng, planned to kill Sun Chen at a banquet. At the La festival banquet on the wuchen day of the 12th month of the 1st year of Yong'an (early 259 CE), Ding Feng and Zhang Bu signaled to the attendants to seize and bind Sun Chen, and Sun Xiu beheaded him. When it was announced that all who had plotted with Sun Chen were pardoned, five thousand men laid down their arms; Sun Kai, who had taken a boat north intending to surrender, was pursued and killed, and Sun Chen's three sets of kin were exterminated. Chen Shou's main text does not record separately what became of Sun Ju at this time. Records, Wu 19 §97–101

It is said that Sun Xiu, ashamed to be of the same clan as Sun Jun and Sun Chen, struck them from the register of the ruling house and called them 'the late Jun' and 'the late Chen'. He also declared that Zhuge Ke, Teng Yin and Lü Ju had probably suffered harm at the hands of the brothers Sun Jun and Sun Chen without having committed any crime, which grieved him, and had them all reburied and offered sacrifices. Records, Wu 19 §102

In his assessment for Book 19, Chen Shou said that Sun Jun and Sun Chen were vicious petty men brimming with arrogance, not worth discussing at all. The assessment does not discuss Sun Ju separately. Records, Wu 19 §109
