Abolish the emperor and support the young master, is Huo Guang a loyal minister or a traitor?
Article:
Hey, buddy, have you heard of Huo Guang? This guy is awesome, a big man in the Western Han Dynasty, the power is tilted towards the government and the opposition, and he is a real cowman!
Huo Guang is not an ordinary person, he is the half-brother of the famous general Huo Quai. His brother Huo Quai, who was the god of war, beat the Huns to the point of urine, sealed the wolf Juxu, and shocked the world. However, although Huo Guang's buddy is not as good as his brother, he has a good brain, and he plays politics in a set.
Huo Guang's life is like a hanging, he has been smart and clever since he was a child, and when he grows up, he is even more dignified and talented. His sister Huo Chengjun married Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and became the queen, and then Huo Guang became a relative of the emperor, and his career was naturally smooth sailing.
In the later years of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Huo Guang was appointed as the Great Sima to assist the young Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty. This Huo Guang is not an ordinary auxiliary minister, he really controls the government, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the behind-the-scenes manipulator of Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty.
During the reign of Huo Guang, he made great efforts, worked diligently and loved the people, and the Han Dynasty appeared in the prosperous era of "Zhaoxuan Zhongxing". However, this Huo Guang is not perfect, he also has his own selfish thoughts.
After the death of Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty, Huo Guang supported Liu He, the king of Changyi, as emperor. This Liu He is not a good bird, after ascending the throne, he did nothing and made a miasma. When Huo Guang saw that this was okay, he quickly abolished Liu He and set up Liu Xun as the emperor, which was later Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty.
After Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty ascended the throne, Huo Guang was still an important minister in the court, and his power was monstrous. However, Huo Guang began to be complacent in his later years, and nepotism was serious, which led to the expansion of the Huo family's power and aroused the suspicion of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty.
In 68 BC, Huo Guang died of illness, and Emperor Xuan of Han began to gradually weaken the power of the Huo family. Huo Guang's son Huo Yu rebelled and was wiped out by Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty.
Huo Guang's life, merits and demerits, history has its own commentary. He assisted the emperors of the two dynasties and made outstanding achievements, but he could not escape the doom of power. His story also left a deep warning to us.
