Chapter 048 Big Sima, General, Bo Luhou, surnamed Huo

"After Huo Guang gained the trust of Emperor Wu, in the second year of his expedition, after Prince Wei was killed by Jiang Chong's witchcraft, Emperor Wu decided to appoint Liu Fuling, the son of Mrs. Gouyi, as the crown prince, and planned to have Huo Guang assist him."

"So Emperor Wu ordered the painter in the palace to paint "The Prince of Zhou Fucheng Dynasty Princes" and gave it to Huo Guang, implying that he was preparing to assist the government."

"In the second year of the Later Yuan Dynasty, when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was dying, he clearly designated Huo Guang as the Great Sima and the Great General, and together with Jin Riju, Shangguan Jie, and Sang Hongyang, he assisted the eight-year-old Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty."

"In the first year of Houyuan before that, Huo Guang, Shangguan Jie and Jin Riju jointly thwarted the rebel conspiracy of the servants Shemang He Luo and his younger brother Chonghehou."

"For this reason, Emperor Wu's edict named the three of them as marquis."

Zhou Wenwen was about to continue, when He Miao remembered something, and said, "But I saw it in the book, and some people objected at that time, thinking that Emperor Wu did not leave a will to seal the three at all."

Zhou Wenwen shook his head and argued, "It's not important to leave Shao, what's important is rationality. If you don't make them waiters and force them into this position, what if one of them can't think of it."

He Miao was enlightened, nodded and replied, "Well, this is also the idea."

Zhou Wenwen continued, "Huo Guang has a marriage relationship with Jin Riju and Shangguan An, who are also auxiliary ministers."

"The wife of Jin Il-bin's second son Jin Sang is his daughter."

"The other auxiliary minister, Shangguan Jie's son, Shangguan An, is married to Huo Guang's eldest daughter, and has a daughter from the Shangguan family."

"Shangguan'an planned to make the six-year-old Shangguan's empress, but Huo Guang objected, so Shangguan'an turned to Princess Gaichang's path and successfully achieved his goal."

"And in order to repay Princess Gai, the Shangguan family wanted to make their lover, outsiders, Liehou and Doctor Guanglu, but Huo Guang also rejected them."

"In addition, Huo Guang had previously prevented other relatives of the Shangguan family from being appointed officials, and the two sides had grievances and became political enemies."

Speaking of this, He Jin was puzzled. With his IQ, he naturally couldn't understand it, so he asked, "Why is this."

Hearing this, He Miao immediately looked at He Jin with the eyes of a fool, and when He Jin was looked at, He Miao said as a matter of course, "What else is there to avoid suspicion, they are not like you, very I care about my brother and the Huo family."

Zhou Wenwen held his chin with his right hand, thinking about Xu Hui and replied, "Maybe it's more than that."

"Everyone understands that the tripartite alliance is stronger, but there is always one side that is rational, the other that is conservative, and the other that is motivated."

Zhou Wenwen sighed, and then continued.

"Shangguan Jie and his son joined Princess Gai Chang, King Yan Liu Dan, and Assistant Minister Sang Hongyang to form an alliance against Huo Guang."

"In the name of King Yan, while Huo Guang was on vacation, he wrote to Emperor Zhao of Han to accuse Huo Guang of not being a minister, and he responded internally and externally, and was ready to capture and kill Huo Guang in one fell swoop."

"However, Emperor Zhao, who was only fourteen years old at the time, saw through their conspiracy, ignored them, appeased Huo Guang, and ordered the origin of the person who wrote the letter to be traced."

"Later, Emperor Zhao also ordered that anyone who slanders Huo Guang will be investigated to the end."

"Shangguan Jie and others saw that they couldn't take action against Emperor Zhao, so they decided to launch a coup to kill Huo Guang, depose Emperor Zhao, and make King Yan the emperor."

"But the plan leaked. The Huo Guang clan exterminated Shangguan Jie's father and son and Sang Hongyang, and the eldest princess of Eyi and Yan Wang Liu Danxian committed suicide. After that, Huo Guang became the de facto decision-maker of the government."

"Finally, the warriors also turned into demons, but Huo Guang's conservativeness prevented him from rotting so fast."

"During the reign of Emperor Zhao, Huo Guang gained the full trust of Emperor Zhao, and thus was able to monopolize the power. He took measures to recuperate, pardoned the world many times, encouraged agriculture, and restored the national strength of the Han Dynasty to a certain extent."

"The relationship with the Xiongnu has also been eased externally, but the policy of reconciliation has been restored."

(This period and the later Xuandi Dynasty were collectively known as Zhaoxuan Zhongxing. Historians believe that the national power that was consumed by Emperor Wu’s policy of mobilizing military forces after the reign of Wenjing in the Western Han Dynasty was restored during this period.)

In the first year of Yuanping, in the summer and April of Guiwei, Emperor Zhao died, but he had no son.

"Huo Guang briefly welcomed Liu He, the king of Changyi, the grandson of Emperor Wu, to take the throne, but after the 27th day, he reported to the Empress Dowager Shangguan to abolish him on the grounds of immorality."

"Huo Guang decided to welcome Emperor Wu's great-grandson Liu Bingji (later renamed Liu Xun) to inherit the throne from the people after discussing with his ministers. This is Emperor Xuan."

"Huo Guang imitated Yi Yin of the Shang Dynasty, and he did the thing of abolishing the emperor. From then on, he was collectively called "Yi Huo"."

"At the beginning of Emperor Xuan's ascension, Huo Guang said that he would return to the emperor."

"But Emperor Xuan did not accept it. The decision on the affairs of the imperial court was decided by Huo Guang first and then reported to the emperor."

"Emperor Xuan trusts Huo Guang on the surface, but he is very afraid in his heart, and when he is in the car with him, "If there is a thorn on his back."

"It can be said that it was Huo Guang himself who made a great impact on the master and laid the foundation for the subsequent destruction of the entire family."

"After Emperor Xuan came to the throne, he did not make Huo Guang's daughter Huo Chengjun the queen as suggested by the ministers, but euphemistically, in the name of Xun Gujian, expressed his desire to make his wife Xu Pingjun the queen."

"Huo Guang didn't object, but because Empress Xu's father Xu Guanghan was tortured by the palace, he objected that Emperor Xuan of the Han named his stepfather as a marquis in accordance with the practice of the Han Dynasty."

"Huo Guang's successor was dissatisfied that his daughter did not become the queen, and took advantage of the opportunity of Queen Xu's birth to bribe the doctor Chunyuyan and poisoned Queen Xu."

"After Empress Xu's death, Emperor Xuan of Han held the doctor accountable. Chunyuyan was put on trial in prison. He was afraid and confessed to Huo Guang."

"Huo Guang was horrified and wanted to hold Xian accountable, but in the end, due to the separation of husband and wife, he covered up the past for her, and Huo Chengjun was finally established as the queen."

"In the second year of the second year of the Earth Festival, Huo Guang died of a serious illness in the third month of the third month."

"Huo Guang, before his death, UU reading www.uukanshu.com asked to divide his own fiefdoms into 3,000 households and give them to his nephew Huo Shan, so as to inherit the incense of his elder brother Huo Qubing."

"After Huo Guang died, Emperor Xuan and the Empress Dowager Shangguan attended the funeral together. Compared with Xiao He, he was buried in Maoling with an emperor-level funeral."

"At his funeral, there were jade clothes, burial utensils such as the Zigong, the private room, and the Huangchang inscription.

"However, Huo Guang's widow still felt that it was not enough style, and expanded the size of the tomb that Huo Guang arranged by himself before his death, which eventually led to disaster."

"In July of the fourth year of the Earth Festival, the rebellion of the Huo family was revealed, Huo Yu was beheaded, Huo Yun and Huo Shan committed suicide, and the Huo family was beheaded by the whole family."

"So far, Huo Guang's wife Xian, his son, nephew, son-in-law and other family members have all been killed or committed suicide, except for his son-in-law Jin Sang who was pardoned for reporting the treason, and his daughter Huo Chengjun was also abandoned in Zhaotai Palace. Thousands of families have been implicated in the extermination."
