In 74 B.C., that is, in June of the first year after Emperor Xuan of Han succeeded to the throne, Liu Yi, who was already the son of heaven, wanted to give his grandfather and former prince Liu Ji a nickname so that he could worship at four o'clock;So, he ordered the relevant departments to discuss this issue.
In June, the edict said: "The crown prince is in the lake, there is no number, and the ancestral hall is old."Its proposals, set up the garden. ”Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty's grandfather and former crown prince Liu Ju, that is, the eldest son of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty;Before the "Witch Curse", the rightful successor of the Han Empire.
There is no doubt that how to give Liu Ju a "nickname" is a very thorny problem.
Because, according to the human lineage, he is the grandfather of the current emperor, and he must "** to show the divine mandate of the monarch;
However, according to the legal facts, Liu Ju was a real "rebellious" minister - even in the later years of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, he had already overturned the case for the "witch curse", but in ancient times, when the Confucian "monarch and minister, father and son" were the basis of rule, Liu Ju openly supported the army to oppose the behavior of Emperor Wu, the monarch, and the emperor, which was indeed undoubtedly a rebellious move.
Just when the general public thought that the Han court would definitely quarrel over this, the relevant departments directly replied to Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty in the form of an official document
There is a priest who invites: "Rites, for the latter, for the son;Therefore, his parents shall not be sacrificed, and the righteousness of the ancestors shall be respected. His Majesty is the Emperor of Xiaozhao, inheriting the ancestral rites, foolishly thinking that it is appropriate to mourn the relatives, and the mother to mourn;Therefore, the crown prince said that he was angry, and Shi Liangdi was called Mrs. Er. "All of them were reburied.So, what does it mean that "Youji" Balabala has pulled so much?
Qing Shijun translates it simply:
According to the "Law of Etiquette", if a person inherits someone else's family property and name, then he is a descendant of someone else, and he can no longer worship his former parents and ancestors.
Your Majesty, what you inherited is the throne of your sixth grandfather, Emperor Zhao of Han, and what you inherit is the mandate of your ancestors, that is to say, you have little to do with Liu Ju.
Then, according to the "Law": Your grandfather, the former prince Liu Ju, should be nicknamed "戾" because he once "did not regret his past" and rebelled against his fatherAnd your father (Liu Ju's son) who is "overwhelmed by fear" should be called "mourning"!
We don't know what Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty reacted to when he saw this piece at that time, we only know that this matter related to the bloodline and face of the Emperor of the Han Dynasty was decided in this way (all of them were reburied).
However, "when things go wrong, there must be demons"!
In Yousi's recital, not only did they not let Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty recognize each other with their fathers and ancestors;The words used are even more "unkind" - one "戾", one "mourning", even the illiterate know that they are not good words.
Resting on ordinary people, such words are almost no different from "greeting the eighteenth generation of ancestors".
So, the question arises: why do the relevant authorities make such ridicule of their own king?What is their motivation for eagerly distancing the relationship between Emperor Xuan of Han and his biological father and ancestor?
First of all, we can be sure of one thing: the ** of the relevant departments is definitely not suffering from some mental illness, because the professionalism of their music is profound, and the arguments are sufficient, it is difficult to refute for a while - the person who can write such an article must be in a normal mental state.
Therefore, the most reasonable explanation for this matter is: someone instigated it!
So, who is this person?
I believe many people have already thought of it: he is the actual helmsman of the Han Empire, who was the general and the secretary of the Lingshang at the time-Huo Guang.
In March 87 B.C., a generation of male lord Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty died, and when he was dying, he entrusted his 8-year-old young son Liu Fuling and the Han family to Huo Guang, Shangguan Ji, Jin Riyan, Sang Hongyang and other four confidant ministers.
has been a minister for so long, but suddenly he has the supreme power of the lord in the world, and few people have been able to resist such a ** throughout the ages - Huo Guang and others naturally inevitably fell into internal strife because of the struggle for power.
In the end, after the treacherous court struggle, Huo Guang won in a thrilling way.
After grasping power, Huo Guang also fully proved with practical actions that he could not only rectify people, but also govern the country - under his leadership, the Western Han Empire not only successfully walked out of the dangerous situation of the imminent collapse of Emperor Wu in the later period, but also began to advance towards the prosperous era.
If things continue to develop like this, Huo Guang may become a rare "perfect man" in Chinese history.
Unfortunately, in 74 BC, Emperor Zhao of Han, who was only twenty years old, died suddenly.
Although we can be suspended from the position of the Son of Heaven, Huo Guang continues to choose to support the blood of Emperor Wu(Liu He, the king of Changyi, was later demoted to the Marquis of Haidu).The fact of inheriting the unification is basically confirmed: Huo Guang's loyalty to the Liu family;
However, it is not difficult for us to find that Huo Guang, who has enjoyed the pleasure brought by supreme power for so long, already has an inextricable obsession with power.
When Huo Guang deposed the king of Changyi, the reason announced by the Han court to the world was: Liu He was extravagant and committed 1,127 wrong things after 27 days on the throne. However, Zhang Chang, one of the nine kings of the Han Dynasty at the time, revealed the truth about Liu He's deposition - Liu He, who had just succeeded to the throne, did not respect Huo Guang at all.
The Minister of State and Auxiliary Affairs did not praise him, and the juniors of Changyi moved first, and the one who passed was also great.Although you are the emperor, if you don't respect Huo Guang, you will be deposed - this is the biggest lesson that the Marquis of Haiyang left to Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty, Liu Xun.
At the beginning of being supported, Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty was very nervous when facing Huo Guang.
At the beginning of the emperor's establishment, he saw the high temple, the general was light, and he was strictly afraid of it, if there was a thorn in the back.However, the bloodline of Emperor Wu flowing in his body, and the various setbacks he experienced when he was young, told the young son of heaven Liu Xun: what must he do, he must let the ministers of the world know that the emperor of the Han Dynasty is not just a simple ornament.
Thus, there was this ritual incident.
Because, in this seemingly simple matter, it contains a very obscure and profound logic of power: we all know that if there is no "witch curse", Emperor Xuan of Han's grandfather Liu Ju is the successor of the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty, so as his descendant, the succession of Emperor Xuan of Han will also have traces to follow.
In other words, at this time, it seems that Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty was doing his filial piety and seeking a nickname for his grandparents and his father and mother;In fact, on a deeper level, this is Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty diluting Huo Guang's authority - if the relevant departments give Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty a "good name" to the ancestors (after all, the "witch curse" has been rehabilitated at that time), then it means:Emperor Xuan of Han's throne actually came from his grandfather, not from Huo Guang's strong support.
This is a typical "sand doping" behavior.
Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty's move is just like the "Great Rites Discussion Incident" launched by Emperor Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty, who was also supported by the important ministers of the court more than a thousand years later and succeeded to the throne as a vassal king: the emperor and the important ministers of the court seem to be in the first etiquette and status, but in fact, the two sides are competing for the right to speak.
For this, how can Huo Guang endure it?
So, he ordered someone to "scold" him back directly - Huo Guang's meaning is obvious: You are supported by me, don't use any crooked brains!
It's still the same sentence: all the battles for names are only on the surface, and the power struggle behind them is the essence!
It's just that this time Emperor Xuan of Han lost.
But it doesn't matter, because, in the game of thrones, only the person who has the last laugh deserves to be called a winner!
