Huo Guang's death

In May, there was another auspicious appearance: Anqiu, Beihai County, and Chunyu 2 counties have Fenghuang Ji. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

In the autumn, Liu Qu, the great-grandson of Emperor Liu Qi of the Han Dynasty and the king of Guangchuan, was deposed as a concubine because he tortured and killed more than ten of his teachers and concubines, and committed suicide on the way to Shangyong County, Hanzhong County.

In March of the first year of the Dijie (BC69), Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty issued an edict to temporarily give the poor people of the county a land. In June, Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty issued an edict: If the princes and kings of each clan are guilty of abolishing the country, if there are virtuous people among their relatives, they can re-seal the country and make themselves reformed.

However, it backfired. In November, Liu Yanshou, the fifth grandson of Liu Jiao, the king of Chu, committed suicide due to a rebellion, and at the same time destroyed the state of Chu, which had been passed down for nearly 133 years and had been passed down for eight generations of Chu kings, and even the third generation of Chu king Liu Wu participated in the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms (19 years later, Liu Huan, who was renamed the king of Chu, was already the son of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty)

Here's the thing: Liu Yanshou's maternal brother Zhao Heqi married the daughter of Liu Xu, the king of Guangling. Liu Yanshou once wrote a letter to Liu Xu through Zhao Heqi, saying that he was willing to help him seize the world. As a result, Zhao Changnian, the father of Zhao Heqi, wrote a letter to denounce him. Liu Yanshou committed suicide. Liu Xu is the only one of the six sons of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty who is still alive, so he doesn't ask. Zhao Changnian was named the Marquis of Qi.

In this year, Yu Dingguo was appointed as a court lieutenant in charge of judicial work. Yu's father and son are both famous figures in the history of Chinese justice, and when his father Yu Gong was Cao of Donghai County, Tan County, Donghai County, had a famous unjust case: Zhou Qing, a filial wife in Donghai, was sentenced to kill her mother-in-law, and the case was reported to Donghai County. As a result, there was no rain in Tokai County for three years. The new Taishou took office, and Yu Gong described Zhou Qing's injustice case from the beginning, and the new Taishou went to Zhou Qing's tomb to offer sacrifices and pray, and at that time it was a long drought and Ganlin (later, the famous Yuanqu master Guan Hanqing used this story as the material to write "Touching the Heaven and the Earth Dou E's Injustice") The people will be in Dingguo and the famous court captain Zhang Shizhi of the Han Wen Emperor and called "Zhang Shizhi is the court captain, and there is no injustice in the world; Yu Dingguo is the court captain, and the people think they are not wronged"

In the spring of the 2nd year of the festival (BC68), Huo Guang was seriously ill. Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty personally went to offer condolences. Huo Guang wrote a letter of thanks, and at the same time put forward a last wish: he was willing to divide his food town into 3,000 households, which was used to seal his half-brother Huo Quai's grandson and Fengche Duwei Huo Shan as the marquis. Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty did not agree for a while, but on February 23, Huo Yu, the son of Huo Guang, was appointed as the right general. On March 8, Huo Guang died. Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty and the Empress Dowager of Shangguan both went to pay their respects in person, and ordered the Dazhong Doctor Ren Xuan and other officials to hold the funeral and protect the funeral, and the officials below 2,000 stones to supervise the tomb. He was buried under the Son of Heaven system, and 300 families were placed in the garden to guard the mausoleum.

has been pretending to be a grandson for nearly 6 years, and the 24-year-old Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty, Liu Ai, has finally become pro-government! And behind Liu Ai, a terrible political promoter has been born: Wei Xiang, the imperial historian!

As soon as Huo Guang left, Wei Xiang went to Liu Ai and offered the following advice: After Huo Guang left, the Han Dynasty fell into a power vacuum. Who will fill this vacuum? It must not be a disciple of the Huo family, let alone Zhang Anshi, but you Liu Aiji! However, if you want to be in power, you must rely on one person: Zhang Anshi!

In Wei Xiang's view, Zhang Anshi was the balance between the emperor and the children of the Huo family. If the emperor woos Zhang Anshi, he will be able to stand on the commanding heights. On the contrary, if you lose Zhang Anshi's good chess, you may lose the whole game!

How to stabilize Zhang Anshi? Wei Xiang already knew the bottom of his heart. He suggested to Liu Ai, "Please appoint Zhang Anshi, the general of the chariot cavalry, as soon as possible as Huo Guang's position before his death: general!" Fill the vacancy after Huo Guang's death, so as not to cause a big battle. Secondly, Zhang Anshi was removed from the part-time position of receiving the Guanglu Xun, and his son Zhang Yanshou could be made the Guanglu Xun."

This trick is called the first strike! In fact, Wei Xiang made this move, and Liu Yi had already planned it. The two really have a heart, and they hit it off. The attraction is not high. Pulling Zhang Anshi up is equivalent to blocking the Huo family's children's thoughts. Even if they are cranky, this stick will hit first, and they will not have time to faint, how can they have the strength to fight back? Secondly, there are many benefits to pulling Zhang Huo, breaking up the Zhang Huo Alliance, and weakening the potential threat...

Liu Yi immediately summoned Zhang Anshi into the palace to talk. Unexpectedly, before the words were finished, Zhang Anshi was like suffering from a cold and shivering. Seriously, he's scared!

History has proven that a good official who takes the initiative to send to the door is by no means a good thing! At the beginning, Liu Che dismissed Shi Qing and appointed Gongsun He as prime minister. Gongsun He didn't see a trace of excitement, but was extremely sad, and he fell to the ground and cried bitterly, but he refused to be sealed. The reason why Gongsun He didn't dare to receive the seal was not because the prime minister's seal was not good, but because he didn't have that life. Sure enough, not long after becoming prime minister, he was implicated by Wu Gu, and Gongsun He was beheaded...

A lesson from the past, a teacher for future generations. Today, for Zhang Anshi, history seems to be repeating itself. If you accept it, you will throw yourself into the oil pan. But how can you refuse the emperor? At the beginning, Gongsun He was not sealed, which made Liu Che very unhappy, and he almost wanted to smash him with the prime minister's seal. Just like Gongsun He knew about Liu Che, Zhang Anshi certainly knew what Liu Ying wanted to do. All along, due to some irresistible force, God has tied him and Huo Guang tightly together, becoming Huo Guang's staunch comrade-in-arms...

Now, Huo Guang is gone. It stands to reason that the position of this great general should be left to the Huo family. Only in this way can we maintain the traditional brand power of the Huo family. However, Liu Ying did not follow the routine operation and pulled Zhang Anshi to sit in the vacated seat vacated by Huo Guang. Doesn't that mean it's ugly for the Huo family? The direct consequence of this move will be: the Huozhang alliance will collapse immediately!

From a certain point of view, Zhang Anshi is a strong back wall of Huo Guang, without Zhang Anshi's wall to block the wind, the whole Huo family may have typhoid fever. Liu Ai's trick to tear down the wall is really high!

Thinking of this, Zhang Anshi felt as if he was in the cold winter of Layue, and he couldn't help but tremble. Suddenly, he came to his senses, and now it is the beginning of summer in April of the lunar calendar, which is the winter of the lunar month? After shivering, Zhang Anshi suddenly remembered: The emperor is still looking at him, waiting for him to speak!

Zhang Anshi raised his head and looked at Liu Aiji, as if looking at a cold cave. Cold air and murderous aura came out of the cold cave in bursts and rushed towards him. Zhang Anshi's feet finally couldn't hold on, he pounced, took off his hat, and lay on the ground. Then, like a poor old bird who had been plucked out and was about to be sent to the fire to roast, he couldn't help but cry out sadly, "The old minister himself knows: I am not the material to be a general at all." Please have mercy on the emperor and let me go."

According to the rules of officialdom, if someone wants to ascend to the throne, he must always thank him three times to show his modesty. It's called a political show. But to tell the truth: Zhang Anshi is not on a show, but shouting from the bottom of his heart to spare his life...

But Liu Zhi no longer sees it that way. Liu Yi already thinks: Zhang Anshi is putting on a show! So, instead of feeling pity for Zhang Anshi, Liu Ying laughed out loud, "Your old man is too modest, right?" If you can't be a general, who can do it?"

To be honest: what Liu Ill has said is also honest. Among the hundreds of officials and ministers in the imperial court, Huo Guang ranked first, and Zhang Anshi ranked second. That's absolutely right! The Huo family's gang of children are all miscellaneous people. If Zhang Anshi can't be a general, let the Huo family's gang of miscellaneous people come out to support the scene? What logic!

Zhang Anshi suddenly found out: he was plotted. The calculating person is not only ill, but also fate. If he is not careful, he will be pushed into the torrent of history by fate! It is dangerous to move forward, and it is even more dangerous to go backwards. And standing motionless is just as dangerous!

For a while, Zhang Anshi seemed to be blocked with mud, and he couldn't speak anymore... On April 17, Zhang Anshi was appointed as the Grand Sima, the general of the chariot cavalry, and the secretary of the Lingshang.

In April, auspicious rui appeared: Lu County has a phoenix emperor set, and a flock of birds follows it. Liu's illness has been granted amnesty to the world.

In May, Guanglu doctor Wang Qian was imprisoned and died.

In May, Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty, according to Huo Guang's last wishes, named Huo Quai's grandson, Fengche Duwei Huo Shan, as the Marquis of Leping, and received the Shangshu affairs.

Thankfully, Zhang Anshi was finally done. Then Wei Xiang's next move is to seize power! How to take it? Where to take it? Wei Xiang is confident. So soon, he secretly wrote to Liu Ai to state his thoughts.

In the Han Dynasty, there were two main types of documents submitted to the emperor: one was general documents, which were all covered with open envelopes; The other is an important document, which is sealed and opened by the emperor himself. This sealed book, known as the "seal affair" in ancient times, was handed over to the emperor by the secretary of the consulate.

The documents that Wei Xiang has submitted to Liu Ai are of the encrypted type. But just in case, he did not hand over the documents to the secretary of Lingshangshi, but entrusted a reliable person to transfer them directly to the emperor. That person is Liu Aiji's father-in-law, Xu Guanghan...

The person who Wei Xiang wants to rectify is the Huo family, and Xu Guanghan is very happy to run up and down for Wei Xiang. The reason is that Xu Guanghan and Huo Guang also had a holiday! Remember? When Xu Pingjun was canonized as the queen, Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty wanted to make his father-in-law Xu Guanghan the marquis. But Huo Guang stubbornly stirred up a good thing, and sealed himself a nondescript "Chang Chengjun"... and the death of Queen Xu Pingjun, did Huo Xian and Chun Yuyan really do it without leakage? Or is it just because of Huo Guang's authority when he was alive that the "death of the queen" was forcefully suppressed?

But to tell the truth: the reason for this is not just that Xu Guanghan is willing to run errands for Wei Xiang because of the festival with the Huo family. What's more: The people who are now leading the Shangshu are Zhang Anshi and Huo Shan!

So far, Wei Xiang has handed over two encrypted documents to Liu Ai. The first time was to suggest that Liu Yi had named Zhang Anshi as the Great Sima. And this time, the reason why he wanted to avoid Huo Shan was because what he wanted to tell Liu Ai in the book was: If you want to eradicate the Huo family's forces, the first thing to do is to empty Huo Shan's power! The position that Inhuo Mountain occupies is too important!

How many documents passed through Lingshang in the Han Dynasty every day? And how many of those documents accusing the Huo family were transferred to the emperor? As long as Huo Shan stays in the position of "Lingshang Shushi", the emperor doesn't want to hear news that is unfavorable to the Huo family. In the long run, the emperor will not be able to collect documents that are unfavorable to the Huo family, so how can he play with the Huo family?

So how can we elevate the power of Huoshan's "Lingshang Shushi"? Wei Xiang put forward two suggestions: 1. open another special channel; 2. Allow everyone to give the emperor an encrypted paperwork.

Is it enough? Of course not enough! Because according to the custom, all those who give the chapter to the emperor must write two copies at the same time: the chapter is sent to the Shangshu office, and the minister who receives the Shangshu has the right to open the copy for examination in advance. If it is deemed inappropriate, it will be shelved together with the original. Therefore, Wei Xiang thinks: In order to prevent cheating in the Shangshu Office, it is best to directly abolish the copy system! The advantage of this is: the content of the encrypted document, Huo Shan wants to know? There are no doors!

As the saying goes: the road is one foot high, and the magic is one foot high. Wei Xiang's move is too high! Soon, Liu Ying had already approved Wei Xiang's suggestion. At the same time, Wei Xiangwei, the imperial historian, was appointed to participate in the decision-making of major national events!

After Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty came into power, he made great efforts to govern the country in five days. Officials at all levels, from the prime minister to the prime minister, must attend the concert as observers. It is beneficial to discuss prosperity, and harmful to discuss reform. Those who have made outstanding achievements in the work of serving in the middle and Shangshu will be rewarded generously. Strict official assessment system, so that the upper and lower levels are peaceful, do not dare to be reluctant. Important officials appointed by the central government to serve as governors, county guards, and ministers of princely states are often summoned in person, and they are responsible for their names. Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty famously said, "The common people are safe, and there is no sigh and sorrow in the fields, all of which depend on political peace and litigation." The foundation of the country is the livelihood of all people. And the people's livelihood is important, and it is the county guard and the minister of the country with 2,000 stones. If 2,000 stone is not popular, how can I govern this country well" Therefore, Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty paid special attention to the appointment and selection of officials of 2,000 stone. "Hanshu Follower Biography" contains a total of 6 people: except for Wen Weng, who was the person in the early years of Emperor Wu at the end of Emperor Jing, the rest of Wang Cheng, Huang Ba, Zhu Yi, Gong Sui, and Zhao Xinchen 5 people are all from the time of Emperor Xuan, plus Zheng Hong, Zhao Guanghan, Han Yanshou, Yin Wenggui, Zhang Chang and others who are independent... Emperor Xuan was in a dynasty, and there were many good officials. Emperor Xuan's Zhongxing, from this.

In the autumn, a subordinate tribe of the Xiongnu, the Xidu tribe living in the left land, under the leadership of its chieftain, fought against Ou with thousands of people, but was defeated, so it surrendered to the Han Dynasty in the south.

This year, the Xiongnu steppe suffered another famine, and six or seven out of ten of the people and livestock died.

In this year, Hu Yan Shan Yu died, and his younger brother Zuo Xian Wang succeeded him as Xulu Quan Qu Shan Yu. The Huns were in turmoil. Hu Yan Shan Yu's Yan Shi Qu thought that he was the natural Da Yan Clan. How do you know that Xulu Quanqu Shan Yu actually set up the daughter of the right general as the Great Clan, and of course the Quan Qu Clan was extremely dissatisfied. So on the one hand, he had an affair with Wu Wei Shan Yu Ersun and the right virtuous king Tu Qitang, and on the other hand, he plotted with his father Zuo Da Youqu and his younger brother Zuo General Du Longqi to seize power...
