In the early years of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty, three ministers named Yannian had different fates
At the beginning of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty, there were three names in the palace"Longevity"Ministers: Du Yannian, Tian Yannian and Yan Yannian. However, these three **, who were officials in the same dynasty and had extensive contacts, had different fates, and only one of them was alive.
Du Yannian: Huo Guang's important **, which is still used after his death.
Du Yannian was the son of Du Zhou, a famous imperial historian during the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Under the influence of his father, Du Yannian was also proficient in law, but unlike his father, he was very generous. After the death of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty ascended the throne, and the general Huo Guangyin Du Yannian was the son of the Three Dukes and recommended him as the governor of the reserve army.
In the fourth year of the first century (83 BC), the Yizhou barbarians revolted. Du Yannian was a lieutenant, led the army to quell the rebellion, and joined the army. Later, the dispute between Huo Guang and Shangguan Ji and Sang Hongyang escalated, and Shangguan Ji and others secretly killed Huo Guang, got rid of Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty, and supported Liu Dan, the king of Yan, as the emperor.
When Yan Cang, the messenger of the paddy field, heard the news, he told Du Yannian, because his boss Yang Chuan was an excellent agronomist and cowardly. Du Yannian hurriedly reported to Emperor Zhao of Han, and Emperor Zhao of Han and Huo Guang together quelled the rebellion of Shangguan Ji and others. Du Yannian has since become the Marquis of Jianping. Later, Du Yannian became Huo Guang's important assistant and advised him many times during Huo Guang's reign.
After the death of Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty, Huo Guangxian appointed Liu He as emperor, but he was deposed in less than a month because of his absurd behavior and disrespect for ancestral rites. In the process of discussing the establishment of a new monarch, Du Yannian persuaded Huo Guang and Zhang Anshi to canonize Liu He as Emperor Xuan of Han, because his son Du Tuo was a friend of Emperor Xuan of Han Liu Wei, the grandson of Prince Wei, and the son of Emperor Xuan of Han.
Later, after Huo Guang's death, the Huo family was executed, and Du Yannian was accused of being Huo Guang's henchman and was dismissed. But a few months later, Du Yannian was reused because of his calm handling and good handling of various government affairs, and was successively appointed as the Taishou of Beidi County and the Taishou of Xiehe County, and was promoted to the Imperial Historian for his outstanding political achievements.
After Du Yannian served as the imperial historian for three years, he resigned from his official position due to old age and illness, and Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty treated him favorably and sent Guanglu doctor to give him a hundred **, wine and medicine. In the second year of Ganlu (52 BC), Du Yannian became seriously ill, and Emperor Xuan of Han gave him a horse and a chariot and relieved him of his official position. A few months later, Du Yannian died"Jinghou"。
Tian Yannian: Participated in the abolition of Emperor Liu He, and committed suicide because of the ** case.
Tian Yannian, whose name is Zibin, is a descendant of the Qi royal family during the Warring States Period, and his family moved to Yangling during the Han Dynasty. When he was young, Tian Yannian was talented and was called by the general Huo Guang as his right-hand man, and soon became the long history of the general's mansion.
During the reign of Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty, Huo Guang's hometown of Hedong County was rampant with thieves, and the local residents complained, so Huo Guang sent Tian Yannian to be the Taishou of Hedong County. After Tian Yannian arrived, he decided to go big and quickly eradicate the local bullies and thieves. Huo Guang saw that he was so capable, so he promoted him to the Great Agricultural Order, in charge of the country's finances.
After the death of Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty, Huo Guang had no son, so he made Liu He, the king of Changyi, the king. However, due to Liu He's absurd behavior after his accession to the throne, which threatened Huo Guang's authority, Huo Guang decided to depose him. When Huo Guang convened the ministers to discuss the recall, Tian Yannian appeared, holding the hilt of his sword, and said to the ministers"If there is a minister who does not support today's discussion, I will hack him to death with my sword! "In this way, the ministers were forced to petition for the removal of Huo Guang.
Later, Huo Guang supported Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty as the emperor, and Tian Yannian was named the Marquis of Yangcheng for supporting Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty.
After the death of Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty, he seized the opportunity to build a mausoleum for Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty, arranged the consequences of money, hired the people's ox carts to transport sand materials, and hired 1,000 people per car and 2,000 people, and he claimed to have paid 30 million yuan.
At that time, due to the sudden death of Emperor Khan Zhao, Pingling had not yet been completed, so he could only rush to work day and night. At that time, Jiao, Jia and other merchants spent tens of millions of dollars to accumulate a large number of charcoal, reeds and other materials for building tombs. Therefore, these businessmen hated Tian Yannian to the core, and spent money to collect evidence that was unfavorable to Tian Yannian.
In the first month of the first year (72 BC), Jiao and Jia reported Tian Yannian** to the imperial court, and Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty ordered Prime Minister Cai Yi to investigate the matter. Cai Yi was originally Huo Guang's henchman, and after Huo Guang informed Tian Yannian of the matter, Tian Yannian was summoned to the General's Mansion for questioning. Tian Yannian refused to admit himself, Huo Guang noticed that Tian Yannian was against his opinion, and decided not to protect him anymore. After Prime Minister Cai Yi learned the news of Tian Yannian**, he sent someone to arrest Tian Yannian, but Tian Yannian refused to be imprisoned and humiliated, so he committed suicide.
Yan Yannian: He was re-elected because Huo Guang was **, but was sentenced to death by the ministers.
Yan Yannian was originally from Donghai County, and his father worked as a junior official in the Prime Minister's Mansion of Donghai County. As a result, Yan Yannian was able to access and understand some legal information, and later served as a magistrate in Donghai County. Later, after being selected by the imperial court, Yan Yannian was able to serve as the secretary of the Taifu Temple, and was later elected as the middle of the imperial history.
In the first year of Yuanping (74 BC), Huo Guang deposed Liu He and proclaimed Emperor Xuan of Han. After Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty ascended the throne, Yan Yannian immediately wrote a letter to accuse Huo Guang"Abolish the emperor without court"。Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty had just ascended the throne and had not yet settled down, so he didn't dare to offend Huo Guang, so the matter of writing was put on hold, but Yan Yannian attached great importance to it.
Later, Tian Yannian also attacked the emperor's car with a gun in the palace, Yannian knew that he wrote a complaint, Tian Yannian was not convinced, the two quarreled in the palace, and Emperor Xuan of Han had no choice but to hand over the matter to the imperial history to solve. Yushi didn't dare to offend Huo Guang, but not only Tian Yannian was subjected to **, Yannian's behavior was also disorderly, the ministers wrote an indictment, and Yannian's capital punishment was heard when Yannian fled, and later encountered a pardon from the imperial court, so he had to escape.
At that time, Emperor Xuan did not rely on many ministers, because he thought that Yan Yannian had falsely accused Huo Guang, so he sent Yan Yannian to the local area to serve as the Pingling County Commander, but he was soon deposed for indiscriminate killing of innocents. However, under the protection of Emperor Xuan, Yan Yannian was soon reappointed as a subordinate official of the prime minister and a judge of ancient sacrifices.
During the Shenwu period, Xiqiang rebelled against the imperial court, and Tian Yannian, under the advice of the crossbow general Xu Yanshou, pacified Xiqiang with the army, and was promoted to Zhuojun Taishou with merit. The local castle was arrogant and domineering, and after Tian Yannian took office, he thundered dozens of families in the two castles, and the security in the county improved. Three years later, Tian Yannian was appointed governor of Henan Province because of his outstanding political achievements.
Yan Yannian is cunning and rigid, the local government is simple and rude, although there are clear regulations, but the official reputation is not good, so he has not been able to move forward since then, which makes him very depressed.
Later, Yan Yannian slandered his ministers and accused Yan Yannian of ten crimes, and Yan Yannian committed suicide by drinking St. John's wort. Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty ordered the imperial history to verify the truth, and finally to"Slander the government"Yan Yannian was sentenced to exile.
