91. Therefore, the sword is deep

However, it was said that Huo Guang had monopoly power, and everyone was afraid of the government. Although Emperor Xuan was wise, he was secretly wary when he first ascended the throne, and he trembled in all his actions, and he was especially cautious whenever he met Huo Guang.

At this time, there was a servant Shi Yan Yannian who wrote to impeach the general Huo Guang, saying that he had done the abolition of the lord without permission, and there was no one to give the courtesy of the ministers, and the crime should be unjustified. This performance was on the top, and the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty were all shocked. Some people are also worried about Yannian, saying that he will be punished for angering Huo Guang.

When Emperor Xuan saw the performance, it was inconvenient to offend Huo Guang, and he refused to punish him for prolonging the year, so he put the music on hold.

Although the impeachment of Yannian could not move Huo Guang, the hundred officials of the court were also awe-struck by it from then on.

Yan Yannian is a native of Xiapi, and his father was a subordinate of the prime minister. Yan studied law at a young age, was born as a county official, was promoted as a servant of the imperial history, was short, concise and quick, but was negative by nature. The impeachment of Huo Guang this time is something that people dare not do, and it can be regarded as bold. However, in all fairness, Huo Guang's mistake was that he accidentally met the non-human at the beginning. and seeing that Liu He abolished him in all kinds of ways, he can be said to be good at making up for it. Later generations thought that prolonging the years could correct the righteousness of the monarch and the minister, so they called it dare to speak, but in fact it was just the idea of the monarch and the subordinates in the autocratic era.

Soon Prime Minister Yang Chang fell ill and died. Huo Guangzuo asked the Queen Mother to worship Cai Yi as the prime minister and seal Yang Pinghou. Cai Yi is a native of Wen County, Hanoi, born in the Ming Dynasty, and worked as an errand in the shogunate of the great general Weiqing. The family is very poor, and they walk in and out. Wei Qingmen's subordinates pitied him for being poor, so they pooled money to buy a calf cart to ride with him. Later, Cai Yishi came to run, and was summoned by Emperor Wu, and said that the "Book of Songs" was very in line with the emperor's wishes, and he worshiped Dr. Guanglu to give him the matter, and ordered him to teach Emperor Zhao to read. Yuan Feng was promoted to Shi Dafu in six years. Now Dai Yang Chang is the prime minister, more than 80 years old, short and without eyebrows, and the shape is very similar to an old woman. In addition, the upper body is bent over and the upper body is tilted forward when standing up, so the heel is unstable and it is difficult to walk. Whenever you enter and leave the court, you must have two officials to support you before you can walk. When everyone saw that he was old, they privately discussed behind their backs: "The general appoints the prime minister and does not choose talents, but with such old and useless people, everything can be dictated by him." Someone heard this and hurriedly reported to Huo Guang. Huo Guangdao: "Because Cai Yi was once the master of the people, of course I can be the prime minister." Unexpectedly, there was speculation from the outside, and such words should not be known to the whole world. When they heard this, they did not dare to say more. In fact, the teacher and the prime minister are two different things.

Emperor Xuan issued an edict to posthumously admonish the late crown prince Liu Ju and Shi Liangdi as the prince and Mrs. Er, and posthumously mourned the grandson of Emperor Shi and Mrs. Wang as the mourning queen. He also ordered the ministers to make decisions, and issued an edict to seal 17,000 households of the general Huo Guang, and 10,000 households of the general Zhang Anshi, in addition to 10 people who were sealed by the marquis, 5 people who were sealed by the marquis, and 8 people who were given the title of marquis. Dasi Farmland Yannian was the first to make a meritorious proposal, and he was awarded the title of Marquis of Yangcheng. Tian Yannian could not help but be arrogant and smug. Who knows, but there are Maoling people surnamed Jiao and Gong who came forward to sue him for stolen goods.

Speaking of Jiao and Gong, they are both rich people in Maoling, who have always started in business, and the two surnames have jointly contributed tens of millions of dollars, secretly buying charcoal reeds and other funeral things for profit.

At the time of Emperor Zhao's death, Dasi Farmland did not prepare in advance, and temporarily rushed to do the funeral, and all the application objects could not be handled. Knowing that the Jiao and Gong families collected a lot of this thing, they wanted to sell it at a higher price at this time, so they said to the queen of Shangguan: "Someone specializes in collecting ominous artifacts from the mausoleum for profit, please don't collect them all from the official." Empress Shangguan immediately approved when she heard this. Tian Yannian then confiscated all the artifacts of Jiao and Gong. The Jiao and Gong families did not gain the slightest benefit, but suffered many losses, so they sought an opportunity to retaliate. It is also a matter of time, Tian Yannian undertook the mausoleum work, and once hired 30,000 cars from the private sector to take sand, stating that the rental price of each car is 1,000 Wen, a total of 30 million. When the reimbursement of the tools can be extended, each car was reported for 2,000 wen, a total of 60 million, and half of it was embezzled by himself. When the Jiao and Gong families found out about this, they thought that I was just hoarding burial goods in the hope of making money, so you said that I had bad intentions and confiscated my goods. You took the opportunity of the funeral of Emperor Zhao to lie about the value of the hired car, embezzled 30 million yuan of public funds, and the circumstances are more serious than mine. So the Jiao and Gong families sent people to report it.

On the same day, the court obtained the letter and sent it to the Prime Minister's Office for investigation, and it was indeed true. Prime Minister Cai Yi corrected the bullet according to the matter and should be sent to prison for interrogation.

Tian Yannian said angrily: "I am the marquis, what face is in prison, everyone is laughing at, and the officials are despised. This is nothing more than a quick death for me! If I die, why force me? "Kill yourself and die. Tian Yannian made a big decision to understand that he was brave, his talent was extraordinary, but he was greedy, and it was a pity that he was ruined.

At this time, Su Wu had to seal the inner marquis, and there were 300 households. His entourage Su Wu sent envoys to Chang Hui, and also made meritorious contributions in the first two years.

In November, the ministers asked Emperor Xuan to choose an empress. Before Emperor Xuan ascended the throne, he had married the daughter of Xu Guanghan. and gave birth to a son named Liu Zheng. After Emperor Xuan ascended the throne, he respected the Empress Dowager as the Empress Dowager, nominally a grandmother, and worshiped the Xu family as Jieyu.

Huo Guangzheng's wife only gave birth to one daughter, and married Shangguan An as his wife, that is, the mother of the Empress Dowager Shangguan. When Shangguan An rebelled, Huo Nu died early and was posthumously honored as Mrs. Jing. Huo Guang also accepted the name of the maidservant, and later generations called it Huo Xian. Huo Xiansheng has a son and several daughters, whose name is Huo Yu. Huo Guang has two domestic slaves, one surnamed Feng Mingzidu, and the other surnamed Wang Mingzifang. Huo Xian and Feng Zi both committed adultery, of course Huo Guang didn't know.

Feng Zidu and Wang Zifang took advantage of the situation to run rampant outside, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were not afraid of their arrogance. Huo Xian saw that Emperor Xuan was enthroned as the queen and did not set up a queen, and couldn't help but think that the little girl Huo Chengjun had not yet married, so he made the two of them signal to the hundred officials and wanted Huo Chengjun to be the queen. The officials were happy to give Huo Guang a favor, so they wrote to Liu Xun to marry Huo Chengjun. Everyone expected that Emperor Xuan was afraid that Huo Guang would set up his daughter, and Huo Guang's daughter was the aunt of the Empress Dowager Shangguan. Emperor Xuan knew what everyone meant, but when he remembered the lowly time, he shared joys and sorrows with Xu Nu, and now he can't bear to abandon his wife; He wanted to make Xu Nu the queen and it was inconvenient to talk to himself, so he issued an edict to seek the sword he wore in the past. He is already an emperor, and there is definitely no shortage of swords, but he issued an edict to find an old sword used during the civilian period, just to show his affection and righteousness. The ministers understood that Liu Xun was not looking for a sword, but wanted to express his feelings for Xu Pingjun. So they asked Xu Pingjun to be the queen.

Therefore, the sword is deep, this is the most romantic edict in history, it is a promise made by an emperor to a woman, even if the ministers in the government and the opposition are arbitrary, even if they have just ascended the throne, they are still afraid of Huo Guang, but for Xu Pingjun, Liu Xun made this bet. Thankfully, he got the bet right. In that year, Xu Pingjun entered the East Palace.

Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty's love for Xu Pingjun is so deep and affectionate that it is really moving. As a woman, Xu Pingjun is happy, she has all the love of a man. In Chinese history, the position of empress involves too many political interests. The choice of the queen is often the result of a power struggle. However, Xu Pingjun relied on the emperor's deep affection for her and the world. Many queens in history are unlucky, they are nominally the emperor's wives, but they often don't even see the emperor's face, so they spend their lives in the deep palace. The emperor's three palaces, six courtyards, seventy-two concubines, three thousand fandel. In China's long feudal era, how many women could get the most sincere love of an emperor?

Because of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty's insistence, Huo Guang's daughter failed to become the queen, and Huo Xian gritted his teeth with hatred for Xu Pingjun. If it weren't for Huo Guang, which round would have Liu Xun become the emperor. Xu Pingjun hindered Huo Guang's daughter's path to queenhood, which doomed her to the tragedy of being killed in the future.

At this time, Xu Guanghan, the father of Empress Xu, was still alive, and Emperor Xuan invoked the old precedent of the previous dynasty to make his stepfather Xu Guanghan a marquis. Huo Guang came out to discuss that Xu Guanghan had been punished by the palace and should not be sealed again. Emperor Xuan reluctantly reluctantly rejected him, so he will talk about it for the time being. After more than a year, Xu Guanghan was named Changchengjun.

The remnant of winter has passed, and it is the new spring, and the yuan is changed to the first year. Huo Guang asked the Empress Dowager Shangguan to still live in Changle Palace, and asked to return the political affairs to Emperor Xuan, who refused to accept it, and all political affairs were first seen by Huo Guang, and then heard. Photon Huo Yu, and his brother and grandson Huo Yun Huo Shan, all received officials. There are also the grandsons of Zhu Yan, who have successively introduced the Pan Imperial Court. Emperor Xuan was quite suspicious, but he had to obey.

said that Liu Yi no longer knew that Bingji was doing his two great favors behind the scenes. In his mind, Zhang He, Shi Gong and others have greater credit than Bingji. None of the officials in the court knew about Bingji's relationship with the new emperor. Bingji is a kind person, and still doesn't say a word about the past. In the political arena where striving for merit and profit has long been the norm, Bingji's character is particularly noble, leaving a striking mark for himself in history.

Many years later, Liu Ai had ruled out the power of the ministers. An old palace maid named Ze had a difficult life after leaving the palace, so he wrote to the court order at that time to ask for merit. In the book, he said that he had raised the current emperor in hardships and hardships, and asked the court to take care of his old age. The relevant departments did not dare to slack off on such a book, and presented it to Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty.

Liu Yi had already seen the book, and many vague impressions in his mind gradually gathered up. He vaguely recalled his childhood, and many stories seemed to have been forgotten, but Liu Zhi could no longer recall the exact situation. Liu Yi had already ordered the court to personally inquire about the details of the palace maids.

The palace maid stated her kindness to the emperor, and said that all the things that were the prison official of the year and the current imperial historian Bingji can prove it. The court order brought the palace maid to Bingji's mansion and confirmed the details with Bingji in person. The old Bingji recognized the old palace maid. He said that he had indeed met Ze, but she was not the emperor's wet nurse at all.

Bingji told the situation of the year in 1510, he said that the palace maid was in prison back then, and he had asked her to take care of the great-grandson of the little emperor. However, he did not feed him wholeheartedly, and sometimes he scolded Liu for his illness. Bingji said: "Only Guo Zhengqing, a native of Huaiyang, and Hu Gu, a native of Weicheng, are the emperor's wet nurses. Bingji told the court order about the difficulty, fear and helplessness of raising Liu Aiji with his two wet nurses in prison, and the court order relayed it to Liu Aiji.

Liu was shocked and moved when he heard it. The bits and pieces of childhood in his mind are all connected, and the touching scenes are reproduced one by one. Bingji has old favors but never says anything, and Liu Yi has sighed.

Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty immediately ordered people to find Hu and Guo, not wanting that both of them had passed away. Emperor Xuan was very sad and treated his children well. For the rule, Emperor Xuan did not punish too much, for the sake of his also nurturing grace, exempted him from the status of a palace maid, and rewarded him with 100,000 yuan.

For Bingji, a life-saving benefactor and moral gentleman, Liu Yi has specially issued an edict to the prime minister: "When I was young and humble, the imperial historian Bingji had an old favor to me, and his merits were immeasurable. "Poetry" says: 'Death is not rewarded'. I want to seal Bingji as the Marquis of Boyang, and there are 1,300 households in the city. "When the envoy went to C's house to confer the title, Bingji was already seriously ill and could not get up and go to the ground. Liu Yi has already asked people to bring the seal on Bingji's body, indicating that he is knighted.

Bingji immediately wrote to refuse, saying that he should not be rewarded by empty name, which violated the ancestral teachings of Gao Zu.

Liu Xun replied to Bingjidao: When is it? It's not a meritorious service, how many people who have no martial arts have been crowned marquis over the years? Besides, the merit is better than the rescue, and people like you don't have a marquis, doesn't it make people say that I am immoral? The matter of the feudal marquis is so decided, you better take care of it for a while, and when you are completely recovered, you can better serve the country.

Since then, Yu Shi Dafu and Boyang Hou Bingji have become core members of Hanxuan Zhongxing.

A year later, Bingji, a rare "living Lei Feng" in the Western Han Dynasty political arena, returned to the West. Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty was extremely saddened by Bingji's death, and personally officiated at the sacrifice, calling it "fixed". "Pure line is not happy", Bingji, who is lenient and benevolent, is indeed worthy of this nickname.
