Speaking of Huo Guang, we have to talk about Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the entire Han Dynasty, it was in the hands of this eloquent and wise emperor that he changed the disadvantage of seeking peace with the Xiongnu in the past few decades, and took the initiative to attack the Xiongnu, so that the Han Dynasty completely stood up and got rid of the humiliation of the Xiongnu on the top of the head for decades since the founding of the Han Dynasty. Let the influence of the Han spread all over the world, and the name of the Han people will be sung through the ages.

It's just that all this, although it sounds heroic and agitated, but the price paid is unimaginable, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty has been in power for more than 50 years, which means that the Han Dynasty has fought for more than 50 years, and the domestic population has completely emptied half of it.

In addition, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was mediocre in his later years, obsessed with cultivating immortals and alchemy, pursuing immortality, so that alchemists were rampant, colluding with internal and external parties to disrupt the government, and the biggest witch case was dominated by these people, unjustly killing the prince Liu Ju, forcing the queen Wei Zifu to death, resulting in an unstable foundation in the country, and later found out that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty killed nearly 400,000 people because of remorse, and the national strength of the Han Dynasty was even worse, so that later, the heroic and wise Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

In the face of the frenzied struggle on the verge of extinction, and the orphans and widows who are almost numb and sluggish in the whole country, as well as the endless barren and overgrown fields that no one cultivates, they can only make an edict and confess their sins to the people of the whole country, although the war against the Xiongnu emptied half of the population of the Han Dynasty so that he does not regret it, because this is a matter of living in the present and merit, and it is true, it is at this time that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty played the backbone of the descendants of Yan and Huang, and played the brilliant Tianwei of the Han family, but it cannot be denied, The war machine unleashed by Liu Che has brought countless unspeakable sufferings to the contemporary people, so he is willing to do so.

Soon after, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty died of illness, and the legend was located in the eight-year-old Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty Liu Fuling, because the new emperor was young, so, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty appointed four auxiliary ministers to assist the emperor before his death, I have to say that this practice is actually a bad move played by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, because people have selfish intentions, auxiliary ministers, and all of a sudden four inevitably compete for power and profit, which is not a good thing for a country.

Who are these four ministers? They are the first is Xia Ri Pan, this person is a Hun people, belongs to the Southern Huns, and later returned to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, because he is cautious, decent and capable, and loyal, he won the appreciation of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and was appointed as an auxiliary minister, but Xia Ri Pan died too early, in the second year after Liu Fuling ascended the throne, Xia Ri Pan died of illness, so this auxiliary minister did not play a role.

The second auxiliary minister is Shangguan Ji, this person actually has no big ability, but the key is that people can be people, and can accurately figure out the mind of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and not be disgusted by it, this is the ability of people, every time you pat the fart, you can shoot the key, at the beginning it was the personal guard of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Kong Wu was powerful, once Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty went out in a carriage, because it was too hot, he took off the roof of the carriage and let Shangguan Ji walk behind, the carriage ran in front, walked a long way, and came back and forth, Shangguan Ji's face was not red, and he hugged the heavy carriage cover and followed in a muffled voice, Emperor Wu of Han admired it very much, and praised him: "You are very good."

Huo Guang (stills).

After a long time, he naturally got the weight, and slowly let him raise horses, but he raised the horses very thin, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was very unhappy when he saw it, so he asked him, how do you raise the horse to be so skinny, Shangguan Ji said with a sad face: "Some time ago, I heard that Your Majesty's dragon body is not at ease and anxious, so I still have the heart to raise horses!" Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty felt his loyalty.

This is Shangguan Ji's ability, maybe some people think that such Shangguan Ji is like a villain who can only drill camps, but the problem is that he can drill camps in front of an emperor like Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, which shows that this person's ability is not ordinary, and this person handles the things arranged by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty very thoughtfully, and it takes a long time, because Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty feels that the other party is loyal and reliable, so it is natural that he will be promoted all the way, become a confidant, and later become an auxiliary minister, which is naturally expected.

The third auxiliary minister is Sang Hongyang, this is similar to the Qin Dynasty Wei Martingale Li Si and other figures, a typical legalist, and such a person must do everything according to the law, will definitely offend many people, but also the emperor's most reassuring type of people, loyal and straightforward, and often drill the tip of the horns, but outstanding ability to do things, loyal, naturally the best choice for the auxiliary minister.

The fourth place is Huo Guang, and Huo Guang is not someone else, he is Huo Quzhi's half-brother, everyone knows who Huo Qubing is, one of the Han Shuangbi during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the credit Qi Tianfeng Wolf Juxu, a model figure of famous generals in the past dynasties, when such a person was young, he was just the son of a house slave, Huo Quai's father and Huo Quai's mother were originally domestic slaves in the princess's mansion, and the two had Huo Qubing after they were together, but Huo Quai's father abandoned their mother and son and left, and was with other women in other places, also became a petty official through various relationships, and later gave birth to a son, this son is Huo Guang.

Later, as the champion Hou Huo Qubing found his father, his father looked at the son of the Han Emperor who became the Hou Ye, and was so afraid that he was going to die, and shouted Hou Ye on his knees, after all, he abandoned the mother and son of the people, but Huo Qubing did not blame him, and after bowing to his father as a son of man, he explained his intentions and wanted to take his younger brother Huo Guang to cultivate, and his father naturally agreed with joy.

Since then, Huo Guang began to accept Huo Qu's careful training, years of training to make Huo Guang both civil and military, is a rare figure in and out of the general, and later Huo Qu's illness died young, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was deeply sad, and naturally transferred the weight of his nephew Huo Qu's illness to his younger brother Huo Guang, Huo Guang did not disappoint Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, his talent was outstanding, he led the troops to fight with outstanding achievements, and he made outstanding achievements in governing the country, and he was a rare right-hand man of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and because of Huo Qu's illness, Later, he was naturally the most trusted auxiliary minister of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and the only auxiliary minister with military power, Huo Guang, ranked as the great Sima and was in charge of all affairs.

And among the four auxiliary ministers, because Xia Riyan died the earliest, Shangguan Ji and Huo Guang were in-laws, Huo Guang's daughter married Shangguan An, the son of Shangguan Ji, so the auxiliary minister actually became a confrontational play between Sang Hongyang and Huo Guang

Because Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty Liu Fuling was young, he let the eldest princess of Suyi enter the palace to take care of the little emperor, but this Suyi princess has a lover, whose name is Ding Wairen, and Princess Suyi are often in the palace, and even live in the palace, after Huo Guang knew about this matter, Huo Guang did not make any punishment, as long as they did not do anything unfavorable to the emperor and the palace, from this point of view, Huo Guang is still very tolerant. However, what happened later happened with the eldest princess of Yi and Ding Wairen as the fuse:

Empress Shangguan (stills).

Later, in order to enhance the national strength, at a state meeting held by important ministers, Sang Hongyang proposed to nationalize the production of salt, iron and wine, and directly collect taxes, which can effectively and quickly enrich the treasury.

Accompanied by some problems, that is, after the nationalization of salt, iron and wine, although the treasury was effectively enriched in a timely manner, but the people had no enthusiasm for production, and after a long time, the total output did not rise but fell greatly, Huo Guang has been considering the solution to this matter, and later opened a famous salt and iron conference for this matter, Sang Hongyang advocated nationalization, Huo Guang advocated returning to the people to increase production, the two had opposite political views, and they could not hold each other, and later Huo Guang won, mainly based on Huo Guang's opinions, After all, Huo Guang, as the Great Sima, is a well-deserved first auxiliary minister, but since then, Sang Hongyang has regarded Huo Guang as a sworn enemy of the government.

Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty Liu Fuling (stills).

And Shangguan Ji is a person who has no ability, but he likes to tie up with the powerful and climb up, he has a little granddaughter, her name is Shangguan Xiaomei, and she is also Huo Guang's granddaughter, Shangguan Ji found Huo Guang, hoping that through Huo Guang, Shangguan Xiaomei will marry into the palace as a queen and make his power go to the next level, but Huo Guang refused, because he felt that Shangguan Xiaomei was too young, only 6 years old, and Liu Fuling was only 12 years old, so there was no need to marry this relationship.

But Shangguan Ji was unwilling, he turned his head and found the eldest princess of stunned Yi to curry favor, and then said kiss, and really said that this family affair was done, just like that, Shangguan Xiaomei became the youngest woman in history to be the queen, and Huo Guang saw that his granddaughter became the queen, and he didn't say anything, and he didn't object, and the reason why he opposed it before was only because his granddaughter was too young and didn't mean anything else.

Since then, Shangguan Jiren has floated, and in three days, he ran to the palace to find his grandson-in-law Liu Fuling, drank and chatted, and when he went home drunk, he sighed that his son-in-law had everything good, the house was big, and his house was small, and even once he thought that his house was too small, and he actually lit the house with a drunken fire, which shows how crazy this person is.

Later, Ding Wairen intended to be an official, Shangguan Ji found Huo Guang to dredge and deal with it, but Huo Guang disagreed, Huo Guang thought that Ding Wairen had no ability or merit, and he was not clear with the eldest princess, such a person, it would be good if he didn't kill him, it would never be good to be an official, Shangguan Ji said it badly, thinking that no matter what, he and Huo Guang are both in-laws, plus he is the Taiguo Zhang, Huo Guang should agree, but he didn't expect Huo Guang to refuse, therefore, Shangguan Ji hated Huo Guang, wanted to get rid of Huo Guang, so he united with the eldest princess and Huo Guang's political opponent Sang Hongyang to frame Huo Guang and frame him in front of the emperor, but Liu Fuling knew Huo Guang's character, so he didn't want to believe it, let alone deal with Huo Guang.

Seeing that Huo Guang couldn't be rectified in front of the emperor, these people actually came up with a way to assassinate Huo Guang, to be honest, this move is too low-level, Huo Guang has both civil and military skills, and countless military achievements, how can they assassinate him? Not surprisingly, the assassination failed in the East Window incident, and in the end, Sang Hongyang Shangguan Ji and others were beheaded all over the house, and the eldest princess was also killed. It's just that poor Shangguan Xiaomei hasn't been the queen for a long time, and there is no one in her mother's family, and the child who is a few years old can't help but feel a little pitiful.

In recent years, Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty has also grown up, and gradually has the momentum of a generation of male lords, and Huo Guang is also very well matched, the monarchs and ministers can be said to complement each other, Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty gradually began to govern the country, and Huo Guang guarded against the Huns, and gradually all kinds of problems left over from the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty have been properly solved, and the national strength has been restored, and a picture of Zhongxing.

It's a pity that God is jealous of the talent, a generation of Ming Lord Holy Monarch statue of the Han Zhao Emperor Liu Fuling died of illness suddenly, only 21 years old, and did not leave an heir, can only choose one from the princes and kings of these first emperors, Huo Guang chose Liu He, the king of Changyi, as a result, Liu He is a typical faint monarch, in the reign of 27 days did more than a thousand absurd things, so less than a month was abolished by Huo Guang, and later after many understandings and inquiries, and set up the grandson of the first prince Liu Ju who grew up in the people Liu Xun as the emperor, that is, the Han Zhao Emperor who made the Han Dynasty reach its peak.

By abolishing the emperor on his own, it can be seen that Huo Guang's power at this time has reached its peak, and it has also opened a precedent for the abolition of the emperor by the ministers, at this time if he wants to establish himself as the emperor, there should be no one to stop, but Huo Guang does not, whether he is grateful for the kindness of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty, or he has no intention of taking the throne, in short, he did not stand on his own, but when the royal family of the Han Dynasty was in turmoil and the situation was unstable, it was Huo Guang who single-handedly stabilized the turbulent world and allowed the Han dynasty to continue. has worked hard for the old Liu family all his life, Huo Guang has made great contributions to the Han Dynasty, and it is appropriate to say that he is a powerful minister, and he will be wronged if he is a traitorous minister.

Even if Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty Liu Xun period, Huo Guang still controlled the government for many years, but his starting point is good, no selfishness, just not worried about Liu Xun's sudden rule, worried about the instability of the country, in fact, during the reign of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty, Huo Guang has actually been according to his ability to perform, little by little to return to him, otherwise, Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty would not have been able to quickly and comprehensively take over all aspects of military and political affairs after Huo Guang's death.

Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty also knew this, so although he hated Huo Guang, who had controlled the government, he hated and feared it, but he also knew that this was not selfishness, so he did not take revenge on the Huo family after Huo Guang's death, but was courteous.

Although the later Huo family was beheaded by Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty, it was not because of Huo Guang, but because of Huo Guang's wife and daughter, it was their mother and daughter who jointly designed to be the queen, killing Xu Pingjun, the queen of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty, and poisoning a generation of queens is a big crime of the Jiu clan, not to mention that Xu Pingjun is still Liu Xun's wife who has shared joys and hardships with his childhood sweetheart since childhood, and his love is deep and righteous, and the consequences can be imagined. It can only be said that Huo's mother and woman are not hearty enough to swallow elephants, and they are smart and mistakenly miss Qingqing's life!
