How did the Huo Guang family get killed by a woman?
In this article, I will talk to you about this topic.
Marry a wife and marry a sage, this sentence is always a golden rule!
Huo Guang would have gone down in history as a sage like the Duke of Zhou, because he assisted three generations of emperors. It has made great contributions to the prosperity and prosperity of the Han Dynasty. However, in the end, it only became a generation of powerful ministers, and the emperor abolished the establishment. Two years after his death, he was exterminated by Emperor Xuan of Han.
But the reason for the extermination of the clan was not because he had done his best, but because his descendants really wanted to rebel. The root cause of all this is because Huo Guang's wife killed thousands of people in the Huo family - this woman is called Xian(
Because this woman was from a lowly background and did not have a surname, people later called him Huo Xian according to her husband's surname
)
Today I would like to ask three questions:
1. Did Huo Guang apologize to the Han Dynasty?
2. The origin of his woman Huo Xian.
3. How did Huo Xian pit the Huo Guang family?
Huo Guang was Huo Guang's half-brother, and to be precise, Huo Guang was an illegitimate son, and Huo Guang was the concubine of the Huo family. When Emperor Wu of Han died of illness during the expedition, Emperor Wu of Han transferred all his favor to Huo Guang, huo Guang, the younger brother of Huo Goyi.
Huo Guang assisted Emperor Wu of Han for more than 20 years, did not make a single mistake, and gained the extreme trust of Emperor Wu of Han. So much so that Emperor Wu of Han, in his dying edict, explicitly requested Huo Guang to be an auxiliary chancellor.
The successor Emperor Han Zhao, who reigned for 13 years, had all his trust in Huo Guang and never doubted it. And Huo Guang also repaid the favor and worked hard for the Han family wholeheartedly.
Huo Guang's own family, Shangguan Jie, wanted to take his granddaughter -
Shangguan clan
, made empress of emperor Zhao of Han (
The little girl was only 6 years old
At the same time, this little girl is also Huo Guang's granddaughter.
It was resolutely opposed by Huo Guang, and the Shangguan family wanted to make officials for other relatives in their own family, but huo Guang was also firmly opposed.
Huo Guang's original sons and daughters' relatives have become the current political enemies of life and death, and Huo Guang is not wrong about this! Because he was defending the interests of the Han Dynasty, he was defending the trust of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
With the assistance of Huo Guang, the history book's evaluation of the 13 years of Han Zhao's reign is 8 words:
The people are full, and the four yi are obeyed!
After the death of Emperor Liu Fuling of Han Zhao, without children, Huo Guang welcomed Liu He, the grandson of Emperor Wu of Han, as emperor, and this Liu He was emperor for 27 days and was deposed by Huo Guang. And this Liu He was able to make 1127 mistakes in 27 days, and we have reason to believe:
Even if there are exaggerated ingredients, quantitative changes cause qualitative changes.
Such an emperor deposed him, so what? Therefore, when Huo Guang abolished Liu He at that time, it was estimated that he was justified.
But this matter also made Huo Guang bear the notoriety of the emperor's abolition.
2. Huo Guang's wife, what is Huo Xian's origin?
From the question that this woman does not have a surname, we can conclude that she is a very low-status person. And after we inquired about the information, we found out that Huo Guang's original wife was Dong Lu, and this Huo Xian was her maid, and later after the death of Dong Lu, this person turned right. Therefore, she did not even have a surname, and could only follow her husband's surname Huo. And it was she who pit and killed a member of Huo Guang's family.
3. There are few wives and husbands, and behind every disgraced man, there is basically a loser brides.
This Huo Xian was the one who had directly offended the emperor, and the means were still very bad. She poisoned the emperor's original wife, Xu Pingjun. The reason was that she wanted her daughter to be queen.
Xu Pingjun was the original match of Emperor Xuan of Han, Liu Qian, and when Emperor Xuan of Han was still an ordinary person, he followed him to share happiness and suffering.
After Emperor Xuan of Han became emperor, he made her empress. Later, huo guang, under the pressure of Huo Xian, planned to let Emperor Xuan of Han replace the empress. Emperor Xuan of Han went back hard, which shows the depth of the relationship between the two husband and wife.
But Huo Xian, this woman, in order to be the emperor's mother-in-law. He sent someone to poison Xu Pingjun to death. This created an irreconcilable contradiction between Emperor Xuan of Han and the Huo Guang family.
After Huo Guang's death, Emperor Xuan of Han gradually reclaimed some of the rights of the Huo Guang family, and Huo Xian asked her sons to prepare to launch a coup d'état and depose Emperor Xuan of Han. However, in the end, he was defeated by Emperor Xuan of Han, and the Huo Guang family was killed. However, Emperor Xuan of Han was still more nostalgic, and later he set up the Qilin Eleven Heroes, and Huo Guang ranked first.
summary
Originally, Huo Guang could have been a famous courtier for thousands of years, and he assisted the government for more than 40 years and assisted three generations of emperors. But because there was a woman like Huo Xian, not only was she ruined, but her descendants were also killed, and this was fate.
