In history, the existence of foreign relatives and powerful ministers is an existence that many rulers are very afraid of. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info because this way can often shake the foundation of a strength of domination.

What makes Zhang Jiashi more embarrassed is that he himself can be regarded as a representative of this model.

Ying Xun is his son-in-law, there is no doubt about it. But from another point of view, Ying Xun accepted the last order of the first emperor to inherit to the Zhao clan surnamed Ying and took over the position of emperor, which can be said to have nothing to do with Zhang Jiashi.

Because Ying Xun itself has become the largest representative of the Ying surname Zhao and the royal family of the Qin Empire.

And he, the founder of the Xianyang Zhang family, who may be called by later generations, has undoubtedly transformed into an existence similar to that of a relative.

As a historical term, the relatives of the emperor are also. The emperor's wife and the queen's brother. It has nothing to do with the royal family.

Relatives are also known as "foreign family" and "Qi Wan". Generally, it refers to the emperor's maternal family and wife's family.

Historically, when the emperor was young, his relatives often interfered in politics and power, and even had usurpers who changed the dynasty. Such as Wang Mang at the end of the Western Han Dynasty and Yang Jian who established the Sui Dynasty.

"Hanshu Relatives Praise": "The prosperity of husband and daughter's pet, from the smallest and respectful, poor and rich but not meritorious, this solid Taoist fear, the sect of blessings and misfortunes." The preface is from Hanxing, and finally filial piety, and there are more than 20 people in the back court of relatives. However, the whole family is only Wen, Jing, Emperor Wu and Qiongchenghou...... The rest of the big ones are wiped out, the small ones are released, and the black gimmicks are also prepared. ”

Tang Liu Zhiji's "Stone Title": "For example, Ma Qian wrote the queen's biography of the foreign relatives, and the foreign relatives were named after the queen, and the Judah clan was famous because of the Son of Heaven. ”

"History of the Song Dynasty: The Biography of Li Chuyun": "Fortunately, Qi Wan is noble. ”

"The Biography of the Queen's Concubine": "Enter the foreign house later...... There are dozens of relatives, doormen, and servants who worship officials. ”

Wu Weiye's "Yonghe Palace Ci": "Foreign officials worship Jin Wuwei, and the rangers in their lives are more light and profitable. Ban Ji only transferred Zuo Jixian, and Huo's arrogant Dou family. Weeping only heard the edict of the Jiaodian Palace, and laughed and talked about the seizure of the mausoleum. ”

Although Zhang Jiashi is Ying Xun's father, there is no doubt that Zhang Jiashi has now "separated" from Ying Xun and is already the head of the two families in legal theory.

If it weren't for Ying Xun's young age and the fact that the First Emperor seemed to recognize the existence of this problem, Zhang Jiashi was appointed as the regent, and handled the state affairs on behalf of Ying Xun until Ying Xun's pro-government, I am afraid that the mutual relationship between Zhang Jiashi and Ying Xun would only go further and further.

Zhang Jiashi may be able to avoid this situation, but after Yingxun gets older, whether Zhang Jiashi can maintain a certain relationship with his eldest son in this situation is something that Zhang Jiashi himself cannot guarantee.

And this is also a very important reason why Zhang Jiashi still lives in the mansion of Shuangyueyi with Yingxun.

And another important reason is that Ying Xun himself doesn't like the deserted Xianyang Palace.

Although Zhang Jiashi has little time to accompany Yingxun and other wives and children because he has to deal with national affairs and military affairs near Xianyang City, there is no doubt that Zhang Jiashi is a passing father in Yingxun's eyes.

Because of this, Ying Xun prefers to live with Zhang Jiashi, his mother, and several younger siblings rather than move to Xianyang Palace.

Although Zhang Jiashi was deeply pleased with this, he did not show it, but felt a little guilty, after all, in a sense, he was really some distance from a passing father.

......

There are not a few historical figures who are similar to Zhang Jiashi's situation, but as far as the situation of Chinese history is concerned, there are very few people who have such a change in status, but none of them have Zhang Jiashi's luck or the situation does not allow it, and finally it evolves into another situation.

And the representative of this situation is Liu Chong, the first emperor of the Northern Han Dynasty.

Liu Chong was the younger brother of Liu Zhiyuan, the founding emperor of the Later Han Dynasty, and before Liu Zhiyuan's eldest son Liu Chengxun was born, Liu Chong's eldest son Liu Yun was adopted by Liu Zhiyuan as an adopted son.

After the birth of Liu Chengxun, Liu Chengxun and Liu Chengyou, Liu Yun's status declined greatly and he was sent as an envoy to Xuzhou.

After Liu Chengyou himself forced Guo Wei to rebel for no reason and finally died at the hands of his henchman Guo Yunming, the ministers decided to make Liu Zhiyuan's son, the former Kaifeng Yin Liu Chengxun, the emperor. At this time, Liu Chengxun was seriously ill and bedridden, and Liu Yun was renamed emperor. When Liu Yun was the envoy of Xuzhou Jiedu, after learning the news of making him emperor, he set off for Beijing to prepare for the throne.

He just walked to Songzhou, Guo Wei had already taken the first step into the capital, forced the Empress Dowager to issue an edict to confer himself as a "prison country", seized the power of the court, and deposed Liu Yun in the name of the Empress Dowager, and demoted Liu Yun to the three divisions of the opening of the government, the inspection of the school Taishi Shangzhuguo, and the Duke of Xiangyin, and sent Guo Chongwei to Songzhou to imprison Liu Yun.

In the first month of 951 AD, Liu Yun's biological father, Liu Chong, the envoy of Hedong Jiedu, heard that Guo Wei seized the throne and destroyed the Han Dynasty, so he proclaimed himself emperor in Jinyang, and the country was called the Northern Han Dynasty to confront Guo Wei. Guo Wei was afraid that keeping Liu Yun would become a trouble, so he ordered Songzhou Jiedu to make Li Hongyi secretly poison Liu Yun on Wuyin's day.

As Liu Zhiyuan's last surviving son, whether Liu Chengxun died of murder or died of serious illness, there is no clear statement in the history books.

But in a sense, Liu Chong's situation can be said to be somewhat similar to Zhang Jiashi's experience, except that Liu Chong did not have Zhang Jiashi's strength, and secondly, he did not have the "name" that Zhang Jiashi obtained, and finally ended up with a failure to take revenge and die of grief.

...................................................... Dividing Line................................................

Later generations have a view that during the Eastern Han Dynasty, many relatives interfered in politics and even were able to abolish and poison the emperor, the reason is that most of the emperors of the Eastern Han Dynasty lived short, but their mothers or queens were long-lived, and "the master is young and the mother is strong".

The Han Dynasty also established the status of the empress, when the emperor was young, cowardly, mediocre or the heir was interrupted, the empress dowager could supervise and select the heir as a guardian, and even the imperial system was pronounced.

The queen mother is in the dynasty called the system, its power is equal to the emperor, the Eastern Han Dynasty "six queens of the dynasty", in this case, the queen mothers in the choice of heirs when most of the "greedy children to long their government, suppress the Ming Xian to monopolize its authority", some of the queen mothers in order to meet their own desire for power, but also abolished the long and young, such as the original and the emperor after the Empress Dowager Deng, the eldest son Liu Sheng has a chronic illness as the reason for not standing, and the young son Liu Long, his life was only more than 100 days, just established soon after the death, and then set up Liu Yu, only 12 years old, a queen mother actually two young emperors, control the government for 16 years.

The situation of the harem in the Eastern Han Dynasty is a typical microcosm of the immaturity of the queen system and even the harem system in the Han Dynasty, which is also the result of the continuous exploration of the feudal landlord class to improve the harem system, which has a far-reaching impact on the continuous improvement of the harem system in the future.

In fact, the relatives of the Eastern Han Dynasty or the harem were in politics, and Liu Che, the Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, as the first emperor of the ages, had already made a relatively effective way to deal with these emperors of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

That is to kill the mother and save the child.

......

In the second year of Zhenghe, the famous witch curse was born. Empress Wei Zifu and Prince Liu Ju were framed by Su Wen, Jiang Chong, Han Shuo and others for not being able to understand themselves and raised troops, and committed suicide after defeat. After that, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty never set up another crown prince.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had a total of six sons, the eldest son was Liu Ju, the second son Liu Hong of Qi Huai died early, and after the witch curse, only four people could inherit the throne: Liu Dan, King of Yan, Liu Xu, King of Guangling, Liu Ji, King of Changyi, and Liu Fuling, the son of Zhao.

Liu Dan wrote to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty after Liu Ju's death, and voluntarily returned to the capital Chang'an to enter the palace as a guard, hoping to be established as the crown prince.

Liu Xu was extravagant, liked to have fun, and had no laws to behave, so he failed to become the heir to the throne in the end.

Liu Ji was born to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and his favorite concubine Lady Li, and was the nephew of Li Guangli, the general of the 2nd Division. Li Guangli and Prime Minister Liu Quyu are sons and daughters, and after three years of conquest, the two plotted together to establish Liu Quyu as the crown prince, and afterwards Li Guangli surrendered to the Huns, and Liu Quyu was beheaded. In the first month of the first year of the Later Yuan Dynasty, that is, the year before the death of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Liu Ji died.

Liu Fuling is the youngest son of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, between the third and fourth years of Zhenghe and the fourth year of Zhenghe, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty thought that Liu Fuling, who was only five or six years old, was in good health and had a high IQ, much like when he was a teenager, so he particularly favored Liu Fuling. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had the intention of making him the crown prince, but because of his young mother, he was afraid that the heroine would harm the country and hesitate.

There is no exact record of the time of death of Zhao, the wife of Gouyi, but it is about between the first year of the Later Yuan Dynasty and the second year of the Later Yuan Dynasty. Moreover, the record of the cause of death in the "Book of Han" is slightly different from that recorded by Chu Shaosun in the supplement to the "Historical Records".

Ban Gu recorded in the "Book of Han" that during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in the Ganquan Palace, the Zhao family was by his side, and was reprimanded by the Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty for making mistakes, causing the Zhao family to die of depression, and the Zhao family was buried in Yunyang after his death.

Chu Shaosun added in the "Historical Records":

When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty lived in Ganquan Palace, he ordered the painters of the inner court to paint a picture of the Duke of Zhou holding King Zhou Cheng to accept the worship of the princes, and gave it to Huo Guang, the commander of Fengche, so the ministers on the left and right knew that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty wanted to make his youngest son Liu Fuling the crown prince.

A few days later, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty rebuked Zhao, who took off his hairpin and earrings, and kowtowed. Emperor Wu of Han ordered someone to pull Zhao away and send him to the cold palace, Zhao looked back at Emperor Wu of Han, and Emperor Wu of Han said: "Go quickly, you can't live!"

Soon Zhao died in Yunyang Palace. At that time, the storm was blowing dust all over the sky, and the people were lamenting and grieving. The messenger of the palace carried the coffin out overnight to bury her and marked the grave.

After Zhao's death, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty asked the people around him what they thought of Zhao's death when he was idle.

Left and right replied, "People say that their son will be appointed, why do they get rid of his mother?" This is not something that ordinary fools can understand. From ancient times to the present, the cause of civil strife in the country is that the master is young and the mother is strong. The hostess is arrogant and arrogant, **** presumptuous, and no one can stop her. Haven't you heard the story of Empress Lu?"

In the spring of the second year of the Later Yuan Dynasty, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty appointed Liu Fuling as the crown prince when he was dying. Huo Guang, the commander of Fengche, was appointed as the great Sima and the general, and assisted Liu Fuling.

Four days later, Emperor Wu of Han died, and Fuling, who was only eight years old, ascended the throne as Emperor Zhao of Han.

......

In a sense, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty killed his mother and saved his son and appointed Liu Fuling as his heir, which indeed avoided the situation of the harem interfering in politics and the weak son and the strong mother.

However, as the saying goes, there must be advantages and disadvantages, and some descriptions of the situation of Emperor Liu Fuling of the Han Zhao Dynasty happen to be brought about by the defects of this means.

In the first year of the first century (86 BC), Jin Ilyan, who had assisted the government for more than a year, died of illness, and Huo Guang held the supreme power of the Han Dynasty government. Huo Guang and Jin Riyan, who were also auxiliary ministers, and Shangguan Jian had a marriage relationship, Shangguan An, the son of Shangguan Ji, married Huo Guang's eldest daughter as his wife, and gave birth to a daughter, Shangguan, the two families became in-laws, and the relationship was close.

In the fourth year of the first century, Emperor Zhao was twelve years old, and the eldest princess of Hubei chose the queen for him, and Shangguan An planned to let his six-year-old daughter Shangguan enter the harem, but Huo Guang opposed it. Shangguan An had a good relationship with the eldest princess of Hubei Province, and the mistress Ding was a good outsider, so he successfully achieved his goal through the princess, and set up the female Shangguan family as the queen, and he was promoted to the general of the chariot and cavalry because of his pro-family, and was named Sang Lehou.

In order to repay the eldest princess of Eyi, the Shangguan family wanted to make Ding Wairen a liehou, but Huo Guang rejected it with "no merit can not be made a marquis". Huo Guang had previously prevented other relatives of the Shangguan family from becoming official many times, and the two sides had a grudge and became political enemies.

Sang Hongyang, the imperial historian, was rejected by Huo Guang for his son's request for office, and the political opinions of the two had serious differences, so Sang Hongyang resented Huo Guang.

Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty's elder brother, Liu Dan, the king of Yan, was also resentful because he was not made emperor, so these political forces temporarily united and tried to kill Huo Guang and depose Liu Fuling.

In the sixth year of the first century (81 BC), Shangguan Ji, Liu Dan, the king of Yan, and others stepped up preparations for the coup. Liu Dan, the king of Yan, put the bet of seizing the throne on Shangguan Ji, and sent more than ten people before and after, bringing a large number of gold, silver and jewelry, to bribe the eldest princess, Shangguan Ji, Sang Hongyang and others, in order to support him to seize the throne.

They used the old trick of "Qing Jun's side" to make people write to Emperor Zhao in the name of Liu Dan, the king of Yan, and fabricated: "Huo Guang is reviewing the military equipment in Kyoto, and the roads near Kyoto have been under martial law; Huo Guang will recall Su Wu, who had been detained by the Xiongnu for 19 years, to return to Kyoto and appoint him as a vassal state, intending to borrow the Xiongnu troops; Huo Guang mobilized his troops without authorization. All of this was to overthrow Emperor Zhao and establish himself as emperor. He also claimed that Liu Dan, the king of Yan, wanted to enter the court in order to prevent the traitors from becoming chaotic.

At that time, the system was that the officials and the people wrote and said things, and Huo Guang read the book first, and if there was something bad, he could suppress it and not report it. Shangguan Ji could only wait until Huo Guang was on vacation to handle the recital instead of Huo Guang.

So Shangguan Ji took advantage of Huo Guang's bathing opportunity to send the chapter to Emperor Zhao, Shangguan Ji wanted to approve the matter through Emperor Zhao, and then he announced Huo Guang's "crime" according to the content of the chapter, and Sang Hongyang organized the courtiers to jointly coerce Huo Guang to abdicate. They didn't expect that when the letter of Liu Dan, the king of Yan, reached the hands of Emperor Zhao of Han, he would be detained there by Emperor Zhao of Han and ignored.

The next morning, Huo Guang had learned of Shangguan Ji's actions, so he stood in the studio where he posted the "Zhou Gongfu Cheng Wang Tu" given by Emperor Wu, and did not go to the court, so as to ask Emperor Zhao to show his attitude. [36] Emperor Zhao saw that there was no Huo Guang in the court, so he inquired about the courtiers, and Shangguan Ji took the opportunity to reply: "Because of the accusations that King Yan accused him, he did not dare to come to the court." ”

Emperor Zhao issued an edict to summon the generals. Huo Guang entered the palace, took off the general's crown and kowtowed to blame himself. Emperor Zhao said: "The general wears a crown, I know that the letter is spreading rumors and slander, and the general is not guilty." ”

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

Emperor Zhao said: "The general went to Guangming Pavilion and summoned Lang Guan's subordinates. If you want to mobilize your troops, it won't take more than ten days, and Liu Dan, the king of Yan, is far away, how can you know that! Besides, if you really want to overthrow me, you don't need to make such a big move!" The conspiracy of Shangguan Ji and others was exposed by the fourteen-year-old Emperor Zhao, and all the ministers in the court expressed their amazement at Emperor Zhao's cleverness and decision-making, and Huo Guang's auxiliary position was stabilized.

The person who wrote the book later disappeared, and the government pursued him very closely. Shangguan Ji and the others were afraid, so they said to Emperor Zhao: "Small matters are not worth pursuing. Emperor Zhao didn't listen.

After that, Shangguan Ji and his party still sent people to slander Huo Guang, and Emperor Zhao said angrily: "The general is a loyal minister, and the first emperor asked him to assist me, and he dared to slander him according to his crime." ”

Shangguan Ji didn't dare to say any more. Because of this, Emperor Zhao became closer to Huo Guang and alienated himself from the Shangguan faction.

In September of the first year of Yuanfeng, after the conspiracy of Shangguan Ji and others was exposed, an armed coup d'état was prepared. They planned to invite Huo Guang to a banquet by the eldest princess, and ordered the soldiers in ambush to kill Huo Guang and abolish Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty. The rice fields under the door of the eldest princess of Hubei made Yan Cang know about their conspiracy and reported to Yang Chang, the great farmer, who relayed the advice to the doctor Du Yannian.

So Emperor Zhao and Huo Guang mastered the armed coup plan of Shangguan Ji and others. So before this coup d'état was carried out, the preemptive people arrested Shangguan Ji, Sang Hongyang and other ministers who masterminded the coup, and exterminated their families. The eldest princess and Liu Dan, the king of Yan, knew that they could not be pardoned, and committed suicide one after another.

The nine-year-old Empress Shangguan was not deposed because she was young and Huo Guang's granddaughter.
