天璽元年，吳郡言臨平湖自漢末草穢壅塞，今更開通。長老相傳，此湖塞，天下亂，此湖開，天下平。又於湖邊得石函，中有小石，青白色，長四寸，廣二寸餘，刻上作皇帝字，於是改年，大赦。會稽太守車浚、湘東太守張詠不出筭緡，就在所斬之，徇首諸郡。〈《江表傳》曰：浚在公清忠，值郡荒旱，民無資糧，表求振貸。皓謂浚欲樹私恩，遣人梟首。又尚書熊睦見皓酷虐，微有所諫，皓使人以刀環撞殺之，身無完肌。〉秋八月，京下督孫楷降晉。鄱陽言歷陽山石文理成字，凡二十，云「楚九州渚，吳九州都，揚州士，作天子，四世治，太平始」。〈《江表傳》曰：歷陽縣有石山臨水，高百丈，其三十丈所，有七穿駢羅，穿中色黃赤，不與本體相似，俗相傳謂之石印。又云，石印封發，天下當太平。下有祠屋，巫祝言石印神有三郎。時歷陽長表上言石印發，皓遣使以太牢祭歷山。巫言，石印三郎說「天下方太平」。使者作高梯，上看印文，詐以朱書石作二十字，還以啟皓。皓大喜曰：「吳當爲九州作都、渚乎！從大皇帝逮孤四世矣，太平之主，非孤復誰？」重遣使，以印綬拜三郎爲王，又刻石立銘，襃贊靈德，以荅休祥。〉又吳興陽羨山有空石，長十餘丈，名曰石室，在所表爲大瑞。乃遣兼司徒董朝、兼太常周處至陽羨縣，封襌國山。明年改元，大赦，以恊石文。

Eastern Wu
Their side
Eastern Wu was a regime that controlled Jiangdong during the Three Kingdoms period. Sun Ce led his troops across the Zhejiang River, captured Kuaiji and pacified local forces, then personally assumed the post of Administrator of Kuaiji. He also appointed officials to govern Wu Commandery, Danyang, Yuzhang, and the newly established Luling Commandery, expanding the Sun clan’s rule over Jiangdong. Sun Quan controlled Jiangdong and once joined forces with Liu Bei to resist Cao Cao. In the first year of Huanglong (229), Sun Quan assumed the imperial title at the southern suburban altar, posthumously honoring his father, Sun Jian, as Emperor Wulie and his elder brother, Sun Ce, as King Huai of Changsha, and appointing Sun Deng crown prince. After Sun Quan’s death, Sun Liang succeeded him; after the Deposition of Sun Liang, Sun Xiu was welcomed to the throne; and after Sun Xiu’s death, Sun Hao was welcomed and installed as emperor. After Sun Hao Ascends the Throne, he changed the era name to Yuanxing and posthumously honored his father, Sun He, as Emperor Wen.
