Chapter 320 Huo Guang under one person

"Originally, with the support of the great general Wei Qing, it was difficult for anyone to shake the position of the prince, but unfortunately Wei Qing died of illness."

"So Jiang Chong took advantage of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's superstition about ghosts and gods, set a trap to frame the crown prince Liu Ju, and used witchcraft to curse Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty."

"With the support of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Jiang Chong conducted a thorough investigation with a purpose."

"This incident is connected with the time when Zhu Anshi sued Gongsun Jingsheng, and it has to make people wonder if Jiang Chong sent someone to secretly help Zhu Anshi, first broke the prince's arm, and then attacked the prince."

"And Mrs. Hook Ge at that time seemed to be suspicious of giving birth to a child for 14 months, which is impossible from a modern medical point of view, if it weren't for the exaggeration of the historical records at the time, or it would be Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty~" Zhang Yanxi didn't finish the last few words, but everyone knew what to say later.

Cao Cao: Or what? Miss Zhang has to finish her words.

Cheng Yanjin: Are you really capable of pretending? Unsure?

Zhu Di: Cao Cao has to dare to speak, haha!

Mrs. Gouge: The concubine gave birth in more than nine months, and this historian harmed me!

Liu Bang: Liu Che! Check it out! Everybody gets it!

Emperor Han Jing: Check your concubine yourself! I suspect that you, the concubine, are behind the witch curse.

Liu Che: Maybe there will be a different outcome.

Soon after the end of the "Witch Plague", Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty began to regret that he was mean to the crown prince and caused him to rebel.

So while remembering the crown prince, he ordered the eradication of those who had contributed to the "scourge of witchcraft". ”

"These people were originally ordered by the emperor to suppress the crown prince, but they died because the emperor repented."

The ancients said that "accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger", but Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is more terrifying than the tiger. ”

The "Witch Plague" led Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and the crown prince Liu Ju to "the son rebelled against the father, and the father killed the son", and the empress, the crown prince and a large number of high-ranking figures in the court were executed. ”

"This not only seriously damaged the authority of the imperial family, but also greatly shook the national foundation of the Han Dynasty."

"Although Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty wrote down the edict, he still faced the embarrassing situation of not having a suitable heir, and finally had to pass the throne to Liu Fuling, who was only eight years old, resulting in a situation of Huo Guang's dictatorship."

Liu Che: Huo Guang?

Yang Jian: There are a few people who were in power at a young age and can still survive, not everyone is the first emperor, when I listen to history again and again, I know how terrible and powerful his reign is!

Li Shimin: Yes! It is said that Qin Shi Huang is a tyrant, and we think so too, but now we know how difficult it is to do one thing about him.

Liu Che: So Huo Guang killed Liu Fuling?

Zhao Kuangyin: I didn't kill it, but Huo Guang was also authoritarian at that time.

Huo Quzhi: How could my brother be? How could he be a traitor!

"Don't don't, General Huo thinks too much, Huo Guang is definitely not a traitor, and in my opinion, it is not, but it depends on what you think of the ancient courtiers' control of the government?"

"But the emperor was eight years old! How can he Huo Guang's dictatorship be called a traitor? ”

"I'll tell you about this Huo Guang's deeds, and you evaluate whether he is a loyal minister or a traitor."

"Huo Guang was born in Pingyang, Hedong, and his father was just a county official, but Huo Guang's brother was Huo Quai, who was a hussar general at the time."

Speaking of Huo Qu's disease, it is a well-known figure that everyone knows, although the horse is short for seven years, but its first battle won the whole army, and was awarded the title of champion Hou, "Feng Wolf Juxu" is to let "the Huns escape far away, and there is no royal court in Monan".

"Although Huo Qubing died young, his achievements are admired by all generations."

"As a younger brother, Huo Guang is a little bad, and even many people only know Huo Quai's illness but don't know Huo Guang."

"However, there is an elder brother with outstanding martial arts and outstanding military achievements, and he is supported by the huge Wei family, and Huo Guang is also extraordinary."

"Not only is he a great minister step by step, but he is also the first person to abolish the emperor since the Six Dynasties."

"By chance, Huo Guang, who was only more than ten years old at the time, was taken to Chang'an by the general Huo Qubing and lived with him."

"Huo Guang was already very smart at that time, and with the help of Huo Quai, Huo Guang soon entered the imperial court to hold important positions."

"Whether it is Wei Qing, Huo Quzhi or Huo Guang, the rise is very sudden."

"On the one hand, the heroes of the Han Gaozu and Han Wen Emperors either died of old age or died of illness, and under the suppression of the emperor, it is difficult for their descendants to restore the power of their ancestors."

"On the other hand, it is necessary for relatives to compete for power with the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager, so they promoted their own Empress Wei Zifu's family, fortunately, Wei Qing and Huo Qubing are both generals who can fight well, and under the favor of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the Wei Huo clan soon became the upstart of the Han Dynasty."

"And under the care of his brother Huo Quai, Huo Guang served as a Lang official, and then moved to various Cao officials and attendants, and had a good political foundation."

"Huo Guang is cautious and careful, and he has not made a single mistake in serving Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty for more than 20 years, so Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, trusts him very much."

There is such a sentence in the historical records to describe Huo Guang, "Guang is a quiet and detailed person, only seven feet three inches long, fair-skinned, sparse eyebrows, and beautiful beard", it can be seen that he is a standard beautiful man. ”

When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty almost killed his son's relatives due to the "Witch Gu Rebellion", he chose to set up the eight-year-old Liu Fuling as the prince, and designated Huo Guang as the general of the Great Sima, which was obviously Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's extreme trust and value for Huo Guang. ”

"So, Huo Guang became a powerful minister under one person and above ten thousand people at that time."

"Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty, who ascended the throne as emperor, has always admired Huo Guang's talent and thinks that he has the talent to govern the country."

"So, during the period of Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty, Huo Guang monopolized power, and he adopted a series of policies to develop the national strength of the Western Han Dynasty to a certain extent."

"Even if he is a very human minister, Huo Guang is still cautious, walking on thin ice, not daring to think anything wrong, and has always been dedicated to assisting the young emperor."

"Another minister, Shangguan Jiben, is friends with Huo Guang, and the two are also married, but Huo Guang opposed the six-year-old Shangguan family as the queen, and rejected the Shangguan family's request to make Emperor Zhao's sister Princess Gai's adulterer, Ding Wai, a foreign man, a liehou and a doctor of Guanglu, and repeatedly prevented other relatives of the Shangguan family from being crowned officials."

"When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Shangguan Ji was already among the Jiuqing, and the official position was above Huo Guang, and now Shangguan's family "has the weight of the middle palace of the pepper room, and the queen is close to the daughter", these add up to not as good as Huo Guang, Shangguan Ji was jealous of Huo Guang's ability to dominate the court, so he began to fight with Huo Guang for power. ”

"In order to bring down Huo Guang, Shangguan Ji's father and son teamed up with Princess Gai Chang, who was resentful because she couldn't knight her mistress, Sang Hongyang, who couldn't let her relatives be officials, and Yan Wangdan, who was resentful of her brother, everyone pretended to be in the name of King Yan, saying that Huo Guang was a traitor and wanted to push him off."
