Chapter 316: Be careful
Ying Jieyan is also a great Confucian who reads through the hundred schools, and he understands His Royal Highness's words in an instant, and the main reason for Liu He's absurd name in the history books is that Huo Guang has further dictated the political purpose of further dictatorship. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoIn this abolition turmoil, Liu He is just a political prop for Huo Guang to play with power. He is the grandson of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the eldest son of Liu Ji, the king of Changyi, and the ninth emperor of the Western Han Dynasty. At the age of five, he succeeded his father and became the second king of Changyi, managing his own fiefdom.
Ying Jieyan speculated that Huo Guang's change to Liu He, the king of Changyi, as the emperor was probably based on the following considerations: First, Liu He was the grandson of Emperor Wu, and his rank was lower than that of Liu Xu, so it was more convenient to use the name of his granddaughter Empress Dowager Shangguan to suppress him. Second, Liu He was not yet 20 years old at the time, and his political experience was very shallow, so he was relatively easy to control. Third, judging from the series of behaviors described in the Book of Han, Liu He's sanity is definitely not very sound, at least not very strategic, and Huo Guang will certainly feel that people like this will be better controlled.
And Liu He really has little roots, when he learned that he was going to succeed to the throne, he quickly led people to the capital, and countless horses were tired along the way, and after succeeding to the throne, Liu He quickly began to establish his own group, in a vain attempt to fight against Huo Guang, which naturally triggered the counterattack of Huo Guang's group. He returned to Changyi, which had been expelled from the country, and was imprisoned in the Forbidden City of the King of Changyi, living on the humiliating salary of "2,000 households bathing in soups", which was given to women and eunuchs, and finally died of depression.
At present, the Great Song Dynasty has fallen into the same situation, the former emperor Zhao Xianneng of the Northern Hunt ascended the throne in the struggle for imperial power and relative power, and the current emperor Zhao Yu is also to balance the forces of all parties to succeed to the throne in an extremely dangerous situation. What the Xing Dynasty and the Shuaifu are doing now is still essentially a struggle for the throne between the central and local forces, and His Royal Highness has obviously understood the way of it.
Based on His Royal Highness's previous experience, he must have understood that if he wanted to participate in political affairs, he must remove these obstacles in the court, but it was not easy to succeed in an unfamiliar environment. But now the situation is compelled to do it. This is a difficult choice for a smart child......
"Then His Highness wants to be Emperor Xuan!" Ying Jieyan thought about His Highness's words and suddenly understood, sighed and said.
After Huo Guang staged a coup d'état to get rid of the king of Changyi, he still needed to support an emperor surnamed Liu, because "the king of Guangling is no longer in use, and the king of Yan Thorn is punished, and his son is not in the discussion." The only close relative of the Emperor is the great-grandson of Prince Wei in the people, and he is called Shuyan", so he selected the great-grandson of the emperor, which was later Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty. Compared with the king of Changyi, the new emperor's generation is lower, and his age is still roughly the same, for Huo Guang, this is obviously more conducive to exerting the authority of the empress dowager Shangguan to help him control the government, and Emperor Xuan has been raising the people for a long time, and his father-in-law Xu Guanghan is just a tortured eunuch, without political power as a foundation, and it is also easier to manipulate.
However, Huo Guang and his family members greatly underestimated Emperor Xuan's ability. Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty has suffered a lot since childhood, and is completely different from Emperor Zhao and King Changyi, who grew up in the royal family of the palace and did not know the world, and was able to judge the situation more rationally, focus on the big picture, and properly handle the relationship with Huo Guang and his henchmen. Emperor Xuan "knew that the Huo family had been prosperous for a long time", and he had already been mentally prepared, and he knew very well that in the face of this situation, he could only repeat the mistakes of King Changyi. All he needs to do is be patient and wait for the moment.
After another six years of painful patience, it was not until March of the second year of the so-called Earth Festival that Emperor Xuan of Han finally survived to the days of his early days: at this time Huo Guang died. From May of this year, Emperor Xuan began to "pro-government", that is, directly deal with the daily government affairs of the imperial court. Next, Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty used a very old and spicy wrist to bury Huo Guang with a grand ceremony, while looking for an opportunity to completely eliminate the power of the Huo family in one fell swoop.
"So what? This Emperor Xuan is not so easy to be, and this king may not be able to wait for the day when he will be in power. Zhao Hao said with a wry smile. When Emperor Xuan succeeded to the throne, although the Han Dynasty had begun to decline, the emaciated camel was bigger than the horse, and there was no external trouble or internal worry at that time. But at present, the death of the Great Song Dynasty is imminent, how can he afford to wait, if history has not changed, then his mourning period will be over by this time next year.
"Your Highness, don't be discouraged, it's man-made, I think Your Highness is not less than a hundred, and there will be no one. Now we have 100,000 troops, more than 1,000 warships, and several states with a population of hundreds of thousands. As long as we plan carefully, there is no need to worry about big things. Ying Jieyan comforted His Highness.
That's true, but it's not the same as it used to be. That's the king's uneducated, no longevity, and no one will treat me as an opponent. But now it is different, the power of the Shuai Mansion is enough to resist the imperial court, and they must be worried that the king will reuse the Qiandi and degrade all those who have not been on good terms with me in the past, so that they can no longer control the court. And the martyrdom of the palace marshal made us lose our strong reinforcements. Although Lord Liu helped with all his might, he was weak in the end, and it was difficult to fight against the ministers, and it was even more difficult to influence the Queen Mother. Zhao Hao analyzed the current situation.
"Now Lu Xiangken is willing to help, as long as he makes good use of it, it is not without a chance of success." Ying Jieyan said.
"Well, Lu Xiang is in a situation similar to ours, he has little qualifications, he has been demoted, and he also lacks connections in the DPRK and China, and he will inevitably be elbowed everywhere when he does things. And to change the current situation, someone needs help. I just don't know what his character is? Zhao Yu nodded. But now he understands the sentence 'history is a little girl, how to dress up', and all the things he has experienced in this world have made him dare not believe all the history books.
"As far as the old man knows, Lu Xiang is cautious, behaves decently, and is not like a treacherous person, so he should be able to be trusted." Ying Jieyan said.
"Well, we can't hope too much for Lu Xiang at the moment, everything remains to be seen, don't take the initiative to contact him for the time being." Zhao Yu said that he knew that he had embarked on this road of no return, everything had to be careful, one wrong step was an abyss. And at the moment, he prefers to believe that it is an exchange of interests, but it is the righteousness in his mouth.
"It's okay, but now that the matter is imminent, His Highness still needs to prepare in advance, so as not to delay the fighter." Ying Jieyan nodded, he also understood that there was nothing wrong with being cautious at this time, and it was not too much to be cautious when the situation was not clear, which coincided with Zhao Hao.
"Now stop all related actions, what to do?" Zhao Yu said...... (To be continued.) )
