Before the death of Emperor Wu of Han, the four people who entrusted jin Riluo, Huo Guang, Shangguan Jie, and Sang Hongyang assisted Liu Fuling, the Emperor of Han Zhao, and after Jin Riju's death, Huo Guang did not have the restrictions of Jin Ribao. He began to defeat Shangguan Jie and Sang Hongyang, gathered power in one, and became an indispensable vassal.

After the death of Emperor Liu Fuling of Han Zhao (son of Emperor Wu of Han), he was childless. Huo Guang took the throne, and Liu He the Prince of Changyi, the nephew of Emperor Zhao of Han, was made emperor. After Liu He succeeded to the throne, he was desolate and was deposed by Huo Guang after only twenty-seven days on the throne. After Huo Guang deposed Liu He, he installed Liu Qing as Emperor Xuan of Han, and made Xu Pingjun, the daughter of Xu Guanghan, a concubine, and Huo Guang's younger daughter Huo Chengjun was also included in the palace and given the title of Jieyu. And Jie Yu, in essence, became Huo Guang's "tool man" to monitor Liu Qian.
Daughter of Xu Guanghan: Empress Xu Pingjun of the Xuan Emperor of Han
Xu Guanghan was sent to the court to be a violent chambermate because of his ineffective search for evidence of Shangguan's conspiracy against him. At that time, Emperor Wu of Han's great-grandson Liu Qing (Emperor Xuan of Han) was fostered in Yeting and lived in the same room as Xu Guanghan. Xu Guanghan married his daughter to Liu Xun, which can be described as a poor and lowly married couple.
Seeing the truth in times of crisis, Xu Pingjun and Emperor Xuan of Han had a strong feeling. Huo Guang instructed all the ministers to suggest that Li Jieyu be made empress, and Emperor Xuan of Han had no choice but to ask for his sword when he was in exile, and the ministers knew that Emperor Xuan of Han had a point in his heart, so he wrote to Xu Pingjun as empress, which is the allusion of "the love of the sword". Xu Pingjun was born in a humble background, paid attention to women's morality, was frugal and simple, and treated the empress dowager with food and drink, which was praised by people.
The empress dowager was the granddaughter of Shangguan Jie, the chancellor at that time, and the daughter of Huo Guang's eldest daughter, that is, Huo Guang's granddaughter, that is, Huo Guang's younger daughter, Huo Chengjun, was also the aunt of the empress dowager. However, Huo Guang's wife Huo Xian was not satisfied and prepared to make her young daughter empress. Therefore, when Empress Xu was pregnant, she bought the female doctor Chun Yuyan and asked her to fuse the poison in the pill for Empress Xu to take, and Empress Xu was poisoned and died, so Huo Chengjun was made empress.
At that time, after Empress Xu was poisoned, the imperial court had ordered an investigation, and Huo Xian told Huo Guang the time of his murder of Empress Xu, and Huo Guang was shocked, but finally chose to suppress the matter. However, Huo Xian still did not know how to restrain, because Empress Xu's son Liu Yi (Emperor Yuan of Han) was made crown prince, and Huo Xian asked his younger daughter Empress Huo Chengjun to poison and poison the prince, but every time Empress Huo gave the prince food, Bao'a (the nanny in the palace) tasted it first, and liu Yi had to escape. After Huo Guang's death, Huo Xian's plot to kill Empress Xu and the crown prince was revealed, so he prepared to rebel and was destroyed by the clan, and Empress Huo was later deposed and later committed suicide.
However, the name of Huo Guang I was blinded by his power, which eventually led to the condemnation of the entire clan, which became an inevitable stain on the history of the Huo family. What is even more lamentable is that the rare example of the deep affection of the emperor and his wife in history, Empress Xu, who "has a deep love for the sword", also died tragically under the poison, which is sighing.
