Lady Quan (Sun Liang) 孫亮全夫人

Lady Quan, consort of Sun Liang, was the daughter of Quan Shang. Her great-aunt, the princess (Princess Quan), doted on her and always took her along whenever she went to the palace for an audience. The Biographies of Consorts record her under the heading 'Lady Quan' and do not give her personal name. Records, Wu 5 §27–28

When Lady Pan and her son came into favour, Princess Quan, who was at odds with Sun He's mother, urged Sun Quan to take a wife for Lady Pan's son Sun Liang, and Sun Liang in the end became heir. The Biographies of the Three Successor Rulers record that Sun Liang's elder sister Princess Quan, having once slandered the Crown Prince Sun He and his mother, felt uneasy, so, relying on Sun Quan's inclination and wishing to secure ties for herself in advance, she repeatedly praised Quan Shang's daughter and urged that she be taken as Sun Liang's wife. When Sun He was deposed in the 13th year of Chiwu (250), Sun Quan made Sun Liang Crown Prince and Lady Quan his consort. Records, Wu 5 §28Records, Wu 3 §2

After Sun Quan died and Sun Liang took the throne, Lady Quan was made empress on the bingyin day of the 1st month of spring in the 2nd year of Jianxing (253), and a general amnesty was proclaimed. When she was made empress, Quan Shang became Colonel of the City Gates and was enfeoffed as Marquis of a Chief Village; he replaced Teng Yin as Minister of Ceremonies and General of the Guards, was raised to Marquis of Yongping, and took charge of the affairs of the Imperial Secretariat.

At that time five members of the Quan family had been enfeoffed as marquises, all of them commanding troops, while the rest served as Attendant Gentlemen and Chief Commandants of Cavalry, standing guard at the emperor's side; since the rise of Wu no consort family had ever matched them in honour and prosperity. When the senior Wei general Zhuge Dan came over to Wu with Shouchun, Quan Yi (全懌), Quan Duan, Quan Yi (全禕), Quan Yi (全儀) and others all took the opportunity to surrender to Wei, and Quan Xi was killed when his plot leaked. From this time the Quan clan declined. Records, Wu 5 §29

According to the passage on Sun Chen in the Biographies of Zhuge, Teng, the Two Suns and Puyang in Records of Wu 19, when Sun Liang first took personal charge of government and began to question many matters, Sun Chen grew very afraid and stayed away from court, pleading illness. Sun Liang conferred with the princess Sun Luban, the Minister of Ceremonies Quan Shang and the general Liu Cheng about killing Sun Chen. Sun Liang's consort, who was the daughter of Sun Chen's elder female cousin, told Sun Chen of the plot. Sun Chen led his followers in a night attack on Quan Shang, sent his younger brother Sun En to kill Liu Cheng outside the Canglong Gate, and then surrounded the palace. Records, Wu 19 §87–88

The Biographies of the Three Successor Rulers date this to the wuwu day of the 9th month of the 3rd year of Taiping (258). Sun Chen sent troops to seize Quan Shang, assembled the ministers at the palace gate and deposed Sun Liang as Prince of Kuaiji; Sun Liang was then sixteen. Quan Shang was moved with his household to Lingling and was killed by men sent after him. Records, Wu 3 §18Records, Wu 5 §29

In the 3rd year of Yong'an (260), a rumour spread in Kuaiji Commandery that the prince Sun Liang would return to become Son of Heaven again, and Sun Liang's palace women reported that he had had shamans pray and sacrifice and had spoken ill-omened words. Sun Liang was demoted to Marquis of Houguan and sent to his fief, but killed himself on the way. The Biographies of Consorts record that Lady Quan followed him to his fief and lived at Houguan, and Chen Shou's main text does not record what became of her afterwards. Records, Wu 3 §35Records, Wu 5 §29

In his assessment in the Biographies of Consorts, Chen Shou said that Duke Huan of Qi and Sun Quan both had the discernment to recognize able men and the ambition of outstanding men, but because they did not distinguish between the sons of the principal wife and those of concubines, the inner chambers and the court fell into disorder and calamity flowed down to their descendants. Lady Quan's name does not appear separately in the assessment. Records, Wu 5 §42
