Huo Guang and Huo Quai, what is the relationship between these two bigwigs in the Western Han Dynasty?Don't worry, let me slowly reveal the secret to you.
At the beginning, let's make it clear first: Huo Guang and Huo Quai, they are brothers!How's that, didn't expect it?What's even more unexpected is that the life experiences of these two brothers are simply more exciting than any big drama.
Brother Huo Quai, this guy is a legend, and he has been different from others since he was a child. His mother, Wei Shao'er, was originally just a maid in Princess Pingyang's mansion, and she had an affair with Huo Zhongru and gave birth to Huo Quai. But Huo Zhongru was a small official, and he went back to Pingyang County after the business trip, leaving Wei Shao'er alone to raise Huo Quai. Fortunately, Wei Zifu later became the queen of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and Wei Shao'er also followed suit, and finally had the opportunity to marry Chen Zhang and become his wife. And Huo Qubing was able to enter the palace and face the saint and began his legendary life.
Huo Quzhi has shown extraordinary bravery and wisdom since he was a child. Emperor Wu of Han liked him so much that he even wanted to teach him personally. However, Huo Quzhi had his own ideas and was unwilling to accept the education of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. But it didn't matter, because he quickly won the trust and reuse of Emperor Wu of Han with his talent and courage. At the age of 18, he began to follow his uncle Wei Qing in the southern and northern wars, and became the right-hand man of the Han Dynasty to conquer the Xiongnu. His great military exploits have never been surpassed in ancient times, and the feat of sealing the wolf has become the confidence of a strong man to dominate the world.
And his younger brother Huo Guang was born a few years later than his brother, but his life experience is just as wonderful. Huo Guang entered the palace through the recommendation of his brother Huo Quai. At that time, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty attached great importance to Huo Quai's talent and contribution, so he also looked at Huo Guang differently. Huo Guang was named Lang Guan, and later promoted to Shizhong. After Huo Qu's death, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, in order to remember him, crowned Huo Guang and promoted him to the positions of Fengche Commander and Guanglu Doctor. Since then, Huo Guang has been serving around Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, entering and leaving the palace for more than 20 years, and he has not made a single mistake, so he has won the trust of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
So just how powerful are these brothers?Don't worry, let me tell you more about it.
Needless to say, Huo Quai's heroic deeds and outstanding contributions have been remembered by history. Although Huo Guang did not make great achievements on the battlefield like his elder brother, his political talent and foresight were also outstanding. During his auxiliary administration, he gave a light dose of money to recuperate and recuperate, allowing the people to live a stable and prosperous life. At the same time, he also attached great importance to the selection of talents, and cultivated a group of outstanding ** and generals for the Han court.
The life trajectory of the two brothers was not all smooth sailing. Huo Quai's untimely death caused Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to lose a capable general. In the later period, Huo Guang also caused a lot of controversy and criticism because of his reputation for specializing in court politics. However, it is undeniable that they all made great contributions to the prosperity and governance of the Han Dynasty and are important figures in history that cannot be ignored.
