Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty wisely removed Huo Guang, the disguise of the master of conspiracy

Mondo History Updated on 2024-02-22

In 66 BC, the Huo Guang family was completely wiped out due to rebellion. The Huo Guang family used to be the powerful ministers of the imperial court, and even had the ability to depose the emperor of the Han Dynasty. However, only 8 years later, the Huo family went from prosperity to decline.

After Huo Guang's death, although he enjoyed the highest glory of being a minister, his family was still annihilated two years later. This story teaches us that the peaks and declines of power are very short-lived, and we cannot rely too much on power and status.

Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty was promoted from marionette to the Ninety-Five Emperor within two years, and Liu Yi had gone from trembling to holding power alone in eight years. This may be the highest level of intrigue, right?

Today, Qing Shijun will work with you to **, how the foundationless Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty will accumulate strength step by step, and finally the Huo Guang family, who can abolish the Son of Heaven, will be "wiped out".

Let's take a look at what the real top scheming is. In July 74 BC, after an inner struggle, the great general and the great Sima Huoguang completed the first "abolition of the emperor incident" under the feudal imperial system.

He summoned all the high-ranking officials, pulled Liu He, the king of Changyi, who had only been on the throne for twenty-seven days and had no warmth in the dragon chair, from his horse, and gave him a rather mocking title: Marquis of Haidu.

became the son of heaven of the Han Dynasty because of political games; Deposed by the Ministers of Power for Not Understanding the Rules", Qing Shijun analyzed who was most likely to become the new emperor of the Han Dynasty after the death of Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty.

Among the six sons of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the second eldest King Qi Huai and the sixth Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty have died one after another; The third king of Yan and the fourth king of Guangling were excluded because of their disagreement with Huo Guang; Therefore, after the death of Emperor Zhao, the only people who are most qualified to inherit the emperor of the Han Dynasty are Liu He, the son of Liu Ji, the king of Changyi, and Liu Yi, the grandson of Liu Ju, the prince of David.

Although Liu He has a bad reputation, his history is more innocent, so he is the only candidate. However, when Huo Guang denied Liu He, then, there is no doubt that it is finally the turn of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty Liu Ai to play.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's eldest son, Liu Ju, was defeated and died, and Liu was spared in infancy. But he had an unfortunate childhood, his biological parents and grandfather all died, and he was raised by female prisoners in breast milk.

Later, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent Liu Ai to the Ye Ting Division, and after Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty succeeded to the throne, Liu Ai's identity could no longer remain in the palace. He returned to his grandfather's house and spent his only happy time.

This childhood experience gave him an extraordinary ability to read words and emotions and people's feelings. When he first ascended the throne, he had great respect for the auxiliary minister Huo Guang, and although Huo Guang should return power to him, he still humbly refused to accept it, and Huo Guang had to consult Huo Guang for advice on all political matters.

Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty even increased Huo Guang's fiefdom, bringing the scale of his fiefdom to 20,000 households, comparable to the princes and kings. Even if Huo Guang's wife sent someone to poison Empress Xu, the wife of Emperor Xuan of Han, Emperor Xuan of Han did not say much, but just endured it.

All this shows that when Huo Guang was alive, the most thing Emperor Xuan of Han did was "forbearance".

can't endure for a lifetime, Liu Ai's success proves that he is not only a descendant of Liu Bang's bloodline, but also a natural king who is well versed in power and strategy.

A "戾", a "mourning", even if you are a fool, you know that this is not a good word! Resting here on our people, this is the most direct insult. However, Emperor Xuan of Han did not care, but accepted it "happily".

So why are the authorities doing this? This is actually a very complex issue that touches on the deep logic of power. Everyone knows that if there is no "witch curse", Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty's grandfather Liu Ju is the rightful successor of the Emperor of the Han Dynasty.

Then, as his descendant, the succession of Emperor Xuan of Han is logical. However, at this time, Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty was doing his filial piety and seeking a nickname for his grandparents.

On the surface, this is just a simple act, but on a deeper level, it is Emperor Xuan of Han who is trying to dilute Huo Guang's authority. If the relevant departments give Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty a "good name" to his ancestor, then it means that the throne of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty actually comes from his grandfather, not due to Huo Guang's strong support.

For such a "mixed sand", how can Huo Guang endure it? So, he directly ordered someone to "scold" back, what he meant: You are supported by me, don't use any crooked brains!

This is a story about the deep logic of power, full of obscurity and deep meaning.

In 71 BC, Chang Hui, Marquis of Changluo, wrote a letter requesting to send troops to attack the Qiuci Kingdom to avenge his subordinates, but Emperor Xuan of Han did not allow it; Soon after, the imperial court received a war briefing from Chang Hui!

Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty was very angry about the resistance of the generals who led the troops, and said that he would "do Changhui!" However, when Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty knew that Chang Hui had followed Huo Guang's instructions, he "engaged in it cheaply", and immediately changed his words to "do a good job"!

Hui Yin asked Guizi Guo to try to kill the captain Lai Dan, but he was not ambushed, so please attack him. The emperor does not allow it. General Huo Guangfeng Hui was engaged in cheap. Seeing this, someone must have said: What is the difference between the two things you said and the previous story?

Isn't it saying that Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty is "admitting intimidation"? If you also have such thoughts, then Qing Shijun will regret to tell you: It seems that you don't understand scheming!

What is the art of conspiracy? When you are at an advantage, you can certainly take a clear stand and slogan to the sky; But what do you do when you're at a disadvantage? The slogan is earth-shattering, eradicate **?

Obviously, that's looking for death! Blindly tolerate it, and eventually be ignored? Obviously, that's not right either! Qing Shijun believes that under the living environment of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty, he tolerates and respects Huo Guang and seeks the greatest living environment for himself; Then express his opinions from time to time, let the court and the world know that in addition to him Huo Guang, there is a real Son of Heaven in the entire Han world, which is the most perfect strategy!

It's called "surviving in the slit"! Note: This is important! It is precisely because of the unremitting efforts of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty that the military generals of the Great Han Dynasty have always known that this emperor is not a mediocre lord.

When there was a vacuum in the power of the Han Dynasty after Huo Guang's death, most people chose to support Emperor Xuan of Han, and it was for this reason that most people chose to support Emperor Xuan of Han. —05—In this way, Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty survived six years with extraordinary psychological quality.

In 68 BC, Huo Guang was critically ill; Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty came to visit with excitement and a sad face. Huo Guang said: I want to divide my fiefdom into 3,000 households, and make a marquis for my brother's grandson Huo Shan - obviously, this is Huo Guang's last temptation to Emperor Xuan of Han before his death!

He wanted to see if the Huo family still had a status in the court after his death? Emperor Xuan of Han cried and said, "Is this a matter? So, Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty crowned Huo Shan as a marquis at the same time, and also canonized Huo Guang's eldest son Huo Yu as the right general, which is a title second only to the general.

Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty released such a signal to Huo Guang: You should go quickly! I won't treat your Huo family badly! The position of the general will be left to your son Huo Yu!

This copy tells how Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty weakened and eventually eliminated the power of the Huo Guang family through scheming. After Huo Guang died of illness, Emperor Xuan of Han buried him with rituals and gave Huo Shan, the nephew of the Huo family, the right to discuss politics.

However, the actual decision-making power was given to Zhang Anshi. Zhang Anshi was Huo Guang's confidant, and he also helped Huo Guang depose the Marquis of Haiyang and establish Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty as emperor. Therefore, the Huo family thinks that Zhang Anshi is their person.

However, Zhang Anshi was actually a secret agent of Emperor Xuan of Han and a member of his camp. Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty further weakened the power of the Huo family by letting Zhang Anshi temporarily govern the government.

He also deprived the Huo family of military power by demoting Huo Guang's son-in-law and grandson-in-law. In the end, the Huo family realized the emperor's intentions and tried to resist, but they failed.

Emperor Xuan of Han succeeded in eliminating the power of the Huo Guang family by spreading rumors and using his power. The story shows the complexity of power struggles and the importance of scheming.
