Chapter 32: Thorn in the Back "II"

The reason why Huo Guang was able to rank first was not only because of the consul general, but also because of the official position of General Sima. In the fifth year of Yuan Shuo, in 124 BC, Wei Qing went out of the fortress for 700 miles, and surrounded the right Xianwang at night. The right virtuous king alone and the strong cavalry hundreds broke north. Wei Qing captured more than 10 people of Xiao Wang, more than 15,000 people of the tribe, and millions of livestock. The merit is too great, Emperor Wu worships Wei Qing as the general, and leads the generals to the three dukes, and the secretary and the secretary are all worshipped. This is the first time in 80 years since Comrade Han Xin that this official position has been placed on a regular basis. But the concept of the great general of Emperor Wu is not the same as that of the general of the soldiers.

…… ………………………………………………………………………………

Emperor Wu seized the power of the prime minister, and transferred the dismantling and review of the chapter to the Shangshu headed by the general, that is, the so-called "inner dynasty", with the general as the leader.

In the fourth year of Yuanzhen, in 119 BC, after the decisive battle of Mobei, because Wei Qing and Huo Qubing had already promoted the official to the head, Emperor Wu creatively added a big Sima in front of the general. The predecessor of this big Sima was Tai Lieutenant, the highest rank of military attache who was supported by Zhou Bo back then. Taiwei is the highest military position of the imperial court, and it is not often placed, and when the taiwei is not placed, the taiwei position is attributed to the prime minister.

Emperor Wu, this is equivalent to castrating the prime minister again.

Huo Guang's consul general at this time, Shang Shushi, was equivalent to seizing the military power and power of the entire Han Empire. To be precise, the power in his hands is even greater than that of Liu Bang and Lu Hou back then! Because he is the imperial power, the two in one!

Although he does not have the name of the emperor now, he is already fulfilling the reality of the emperor. At this time, the prime minister no longer has the right to build the upper power, what Shangshu asks you to do, you have to do what, nominally commanding hundreds of officials, it sounds very good, but in fact, it is a doorkeeper for Shangshu. However, although Huo Guang has become the regent of Zhou Gong, he is facing a problem at this time:

He has no political prestige.

In the past 30 years, he was just the inconspicuous little secretary beside the big tiger. There is not a single specific government affairs and military exploits that this secretary has done. Now the chairman has entrusted the company to the secretary, and many people are not convinced. Emperor Wu has let the imperial power dominate for the first fifty years, all other forces are all scum, no one can afford to provoke him back then, it's finally a new era, why finally let your secretary cut off your beard!

Among these opposition parties are the sons of Emperor Wu, and there are also comrades who support Gu and auxiliary politics, covering a wide range, but they were all easily won by Huo Guang. The reason why it was easy was because the level of these people was too far behind Huo Guangbi, who had cultivated to become an immortal for thirty years. All the hard work you have put in will never be in vain. Let's take a look at this contest that is not on one level.

The first to jump out was Emperor Wu Zhenggen.

This person is called Liu Dan, the third son of Emperor Wu, to be precise, he is not anti-Huo Guang, but anti-Zhao, or anti-his father.

Because Heaven seems to have opened a window for him, but this window was closed by himself.

In 110 BC, Emperor Wu's second son, Liu Hong, the king of Qi, died, and 20 years later, in 91 BC, the eldest brother Liu Ju fell into the scourge of witchcraft and committed suicide in defeat.

Seeing that my father is getting older and older, my already hopeless life suddenly changes dramatically.

The first two brothers have survived, Liu Laosan has become Liu Laosan, especially Liu Laosan's ranking in his Liu family has special significance, Liu Dan thinks that he is the oldest among the remaining brothers, and in order, the position of the prince must belong to him.

He thought so, but his father never followed his script. Emperor Wu has never had the intention of establishing a prince again.

Liu Dan is eloquent, strategic, and likes to recruit ranger warriors, so he has a great reputation.

However, judging from his performance later, this "broad strategy" may be a black humor. He thinks it's a good option for him to go in the direction of "father-like", but he doesn't know that the market has already reversed demand.

If Liu Dan understands Emperor Wu's political motives, he should make a 180-degree turn and endure harmlessly.

The more detached, indifferent, and casually manipulated, the more likely his succession to the throne will appear. If Liu Dan's "forbearance" can reach Huo Guang's 20-year-old level, then this throne will have a certain possibility of falling into his hands, because it is all about implementing Emperor Wu's political ideas, and it is still less risky to let an adult wreck and discard the façade than to assist the young master.

Since he was a child, he was not cultivated by Emperor Wu, and he was not as calm and decent as his eldest brother, and the greenhouse environment in which Fengzi and Longsun grew up made him like a flower in a greenhouse, he had never suffered a setback, and he had never tasted hardship, so he was destined to be unable to stand grievances and endure it. Not everything in the world has to revolve around you, and you are not your dreamy sun daddy.

In 88 BC, Emperor Wu was seriously ill and Liu Dan, who could not sit still, sent an envoy to Chang'an to write to Emperor Wu, asking him to guard the court in case of danger. Liu Dan's letter completely shattered his dream of being an emperor.

Emperor Wu was furious, and immediately beheaded the envoys, and then on the charge of "hiding outlaws" of King Yan, he cut off the three counties of his feudal state, so as to answer the delusions of his stupid son. Emperor Wu therefore lamented the very famous geographical prejudice in history: "The son should be placed in the land of Qilu to influence his etiquette; Put it in the land of Yan Zhao, and the heart of the struggle for power will be born." Such a place in our house has been buried by Lao Liu.

In February 87 BC, Emperor Wu died of illness, and his young son Liu Fuling ascended the throne.

Liu Dan was very dissatisfied, when the edict arrived in Yanguo, Liu Dan actually said that the seal seal on the central red-headed document was smaller than before, so not only did not cry but also said to the ministers of Yan State: "This time the size of the seal is smaller than before, I am afraid that something has happened in Chang'an." So he sent his henchmen to Chang'an, and secretly inquired about the news of the DPRK and China in the name of asking about the funeral.

After inquiring for a long time, Liu Dan thought that the younger brother's victory was the result of the manipulation of the ministers of the court, so he sent the middle doctor to Chang'an to write a letter to the emperor in each county, asking for the establishment of Emperor Wu's temple in each county.

Since ancient times, the Jongmyo shrine has been the fundamental symbol of political power and the key proof of the inheritance of imperial power. In the past, the descendants of the chief steward were called "incense", which means that they must be the descendants of the male of Zhenggen to be eligible to worship their ancestors. If the men are cut off, the ancestors will cut off the confession below, which is too pitiful.

What do you mean by setting up temples all over the world? Do you want to sacrifice your father, do you have that qualification? What do you do with the center? Emperor Shuwu directly asked him to serve his ancestors. In the face of this over-the-top temptation, Huo Guang naturally did not agree, but he gave Liu Dan a big step: give 30 million in money and increase the number of fiefdoms by 13,000.

Huo Guang's meaning is obvious, let's enjoy the blessings in the country steadfastly, don't toss.

After Liu Dan received the reward, he was furious: "I should have been called the emperor, but I still need some reward from others!" Liu Dan began to secretly collude with the down-and-out royal family Liu Ze and others to plot a rebellion.

Liu Dan began to recruit outlaws from all over the world, collected folk copper and iron to make weapons, and personally went out to parade troops from time to time, and used the honor guard of the Son of Heaven in and out, and all the close ministers on the left and right were renamed "Shizhong" (the emperor's attendants).

The personality is not good, and there is still a problem with IQ.

Rebellion requires extremely careful accumulation and deployment, you have nothing in your hands, and each of these people you are looking for is a poor little person who has lost his power, and he is afraid that the whole world will not know that you are going to rebel. Huo Guang later took down Liu Ze, who participated in the conspiracy, and after recording the confession, he exterminated all the people involved except for the bandit leader Liu Dan.
