In the spring of the first year of Yuanfeng, Wudu was opposed. Han Zeng, the Marquis of Long's E, was sent to execute Jin Wu Ma Shijian, and Tian Guangming of Dahonglu exempted Sanfu Taichang from punishment and ordered him to join the army and go to quell the rebellion.

Summer and June, forgive the world. Autumn and July. Solar eclipse.

In August, the yuan was changed.

Shangguan Jie's father and son are both honored and deeply grateful to the eldest princess. I want to ask for a marquis for Ding outsiders. Huo Guang didn't allow it. He also begged for a doctor for outsiders, so that he could be summoned often, but he did not allow it. So the eldest princess resented Huo Guang. And Shangguan Jie and Shangguan An asked for an official title for outsiders several times but couldn't get it, and he also hated Huo Guang. There is another incident, Shangguan Jie's wife's father's friend was appointed as a eunuch, because he entered the palace in the middle of the night and was imprisoned and died. The winter moon was coming to an end, and the eldest princess atoned for his sins by taking twenty horses, and only then did he get his death commuted. So Shangguan's father and son deeply complained about Huo Guang. And even more grateful for the kindness of the eldest princess, since the time of the first emperor, Shangguan Jie has been Jiuqing, and he is on the right side of Huo Guangzhi. and father and son and generals, the queen is Shangguan An's own daughter, and Huo Guang is his maternal ancestor. It is still an autocratic government. Therefore, he competed with Huo Guang for power.

Liu Dan, the king of Yan, thought that he was not allowed to stand as an emperor's brother, and he often harbored resentment. and the imperial historian Sang Hongyang built wine and salt iron, for the prosperity of the country, with his own merits, he wanted to win the official for his children but couldn't, and he also resented Huo Guang. So, the eldest princess, Shangguan Jie's father and son, and Sang Hongyang all conspired with Liu Dan, and Liu Dan sent his guest Sun Zongzhi and other more than ten generations before and after, taking more Jinbao and bribing the eldest princess. Shangguan Jiesang Hongyang and so on. Shangguan Jie and others deceived people to take advantage of Huo Guang's patrol to pretend to be King Yan's book, saying that Huo Guang was traveling, and the guard was too royal. He also led the Soviet military to make the Xiongnu not surrender for 20 years, but it was useless but it was a vassal country. The general has no merit in history, but he is the captain of Sosu, and he is the captain of Mofu without authorization, Huo Guang is authoritarian, and he is suspected of being very special. Minister Liu Dan is willing to return to Fu Xi and enter the palace to guard. to observe the changes of traitors.

After the book was played, Shangguan Jie wanted to incite it from top to bottom, and then Sang Hongyang instigated the ministers to jointly retire Huo Guang. However, the Son of Heaven received the letter, but refused to give an edict. On the second day, Huo Guang heard the change, stopped in the middle study, and refused to enter. The emperor asked where the general was, and General Zuo Shangguan Jie replied: "Because King Yan accused him of his crimes, he didn't dare to go inside and knock in." ”

There is an edict to summon the general, Huo Guang entered, and he thanked him without crowning. The emperor said: "General, please know that this letter is fraudulent. The general is not guilty. ”

Huo Guang said, "How did Your Majesty know? ”

The emperor said: "The general went to Guangming, and the officials were all in Beijing. Even if the general transferred the captain to the exchange for only ten days, how could King Yan get the news? Besides, if the general really wants to do something wrong, why should he send a lieutenant, so there must be a deception in this book. At that time, the emperor was only fourteen years old, and Shangshu was shocked by the heavens and respected the emperor.

Besides, when the man who wrote the book saw that his plan had been revealed, he fled in haste. The court was very anxious, Shangguan Jie and others were afraid, and told the emperor that this was a trivial matter and there was no need to take it too seriously. The emperor didn't listen. Later, Shangguan Jie's comrades said bad things about Huo Guang in front of the emperor, and the emperor immediately became angry and said: "The general is a loyal minister, so the first emperor ordered him to assist me, and if anyone dares to destroy him, he will be punished." From then on, Shangguan Jie and the others didn't dare to say more. Li Deyu commented: As a human king, the character is greater than the brightest, and if you are clear and treacherous, then all evils will not invade. It seems that Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty is such a person, and he is ashamed to compare King Zhou Cheng with him. Gaozu Wenjing's virtue is not as good as him, King Cheng listened to the rumors of Guan Cai, causing the Duke of Zhou to run eastward in embarrassment, and Han Gaozu heard that Chen Ping went to Wei Beichu and was going to abandon his confidants. Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty was puzzled by Ji Bu's addiction to alcohol, so he returned to the county of Guhu. Suspected of Jia Sheng's abuse of power and chaos, he reverted to the Magi. Emperor Jing Xin punished Chao for his mistake and killed the three dukes. Since he is suspicious, he will naturally listen to the mouth of the thief. If Emperor Zhao gets Ilu Zhizuo, then Chengkang's karma cannot be compared.

Shangguan Jie and others conspired to order the eldest princess to invite Huo Guang with wine, and then set up an ambush behind the scenes to kill him. Then depose the emperor and set up King Yan as the Son of Heaven. Liu Dan frequently sent post letters, exchanging news back and forth. Xu Li Shangguan Jie is the king. Thousands of county heroes have been contacted externally. Liu Dan told Yan Xiang Mu Ping about the plan, and Mu Ping said: "The king conspired with Liu Ze before, and the reason why he was discovered before it was discovered was because Liu Ze has always been exaggerated and aggressive. I'm afraid that this matter will be like Liu Zeshi, and it will be difficult to succeed. I am afraid that even if they succeed, they will turn against the king. ”

Liu Dan said: "The day before yesterday, a man claimed to be Prince Wei. The people in Chang'an responded to him en masse. Now that I have difficulty riding a tiger, if I am in trouble, the general will be afraid and send troops to prepare for himself. I am the eldest son of the first emperor, and I am trusted by the world, so why worry about them rebelling? Liu Dan later asked the ministers what they meant, and the eldest princess reported that only the general and the right general Wang Mang (this is not Wang Mang, who later usurped the Han Dynasty - translator's note. It is the death of the right general who is a big henchman, and the prime minister is also ill, hoping that the big thing can be successful. Later, Shangguan An planned to lure King Yan to be killed, and set up Shangguan Jie because of the abolition of the emperor. Someone said, "In this case, how should the queen be arranged?" Shangguan An said: "Will the dog chasing the elk still take care of the rabbit?" Now and use the identity of the queen to gain honor, once the mind of the lord is shifted, it is not possible to get it for the husband. This is a once-in-a-century plan, and it must be missed. If you want to achieve big things, you can't take care of the small details. ”

At this time, Yan Cang, the father of the eldest princess and the messenger of the rice field, knew about their conspiracy, so he told Yang Chang, the great farmer, who had always been cautious and fearful, and did not dare to speak, so he called the sick and transferred the book to the doctor Du Yannian. Du Yannian heard about it.

In September, the edict ordered 2,000 stones in the Prime Minister's Department to arrest Sun Zongzhi, Shangguan Jie and his son, Sang Hongyang outsiders, etc. and their clans, and all of them were killed. The eldest princess committed suicide. When Liu Dan, the king of Yan, heard the news, he summoned Yan Xiang Mu Ping and said: "The matter has been revealed, will we still send troops?" ”

Mu Ping said: "General Zuo is dead, and the people know about it, so you can't send troops." ”

King Yan was afraid, and said goodbye to the ministers and concubines with wine. At this time, the seal book ordered by the Son of Heaven had arrived, and Liu Dan hanged himself with a ribbon. More than 20 people committed suicide with Liu Dan. The Son of Heaven was gracious and pardoned the crown prince Liu Jian as a concubine. Liu Dan was given the nickname of the King of Thorns. The queen did not participate in this conspiracy because she was young, and she was Huo Guang's grandson, so she was able to stay alive. Geng Wu right Fufeng Wang Tong is the imperial history doctor.
