During the reign of the Han Dynasty, the emperor married Fu Yan's daughter as empress, and the Fu clan instantly became prominent. However, after all, the Han Emperor had the habit of longyang, how could an ordinary woman enter his eyes? Therefore, not long after he took the throne, Emperor Wu favored Dong Xian, a handsome descendant, and finally spread the allusion of the habit of breaking sleeves.
Since Dong Xian was favored, the family naturally ascended to heaven as a chicken dog. Dong Xian has a younger sister, who was incorporated into the harem because of Dong Xian's relationship and became Zhaoyi. After that, Empress Fu was gradually snubbed by the emperor, and Dong Xian's sister became the exclusive favorite of Emperor Wai. In response, Empress Fu's father, Fu Yan, became depressed.
In Fu Yan's circle of friends, there was a man named Huan Tan, who had been erudite since childhood and was a rare talent. Huan Tan saw that Fu Yan was silently unhappy, knowing that he was anxious because of Empress Fu's fall from favor, so he said: "Emperor Wu wanted to establish Wei Zifu and secretly collected Empress Chen's faults, and Empress Chen was finally deposed, and Wei Zifu was actually deposed. Now that Dong Xian is favored and his sister is particularly favored, there may be a change in 'Wei Zifu', can you not be worried? ”
Fu Yan was shocked after listening to Huan Tan's words. Originally, Fu Yan was still racking his brains to find a way for how Empress Fu could restore her favor, but she did not expect that this matter was so dangerous. So Fu Yan quickly asked Huan Tan what to do with this matter.
Huan Tan was worthy of being a wise man, and he immediately gave a solution, and he replied: "The punishment cannot be imposed on the innocent, and the evil spirit cannot defeat the righteous." The soldier serves the king with wisdom, and the woman seeks the Lord in a flattering way. The empress was young, she had not experienced many hardships and hardships, and some people were driving witch doctors inside, seeking magic tricks outside, and evil ways. And the prince was respected because he was the queen's father, and the guests were bound to use it to increase their prestige, which would attract ridicule. It is better to thank the guests for dismissing the disciples, and must be humble and cautious, this is the way to cultivate oneself and avoid disasters in one's own home. ”
Huan Tan said very clearly, if you want to avoid disasters, you must first regulate yourself not to make mistakes, and then avoid the people around you from making mistakes. As long as there is no handle left, then even if someone wants to harm the Fu family, they will not be able to do it because they cannot get the evidence of the crime.
Therefore, Fu Yan followed Huan Tan's advice, first dismissed all the guests of the family, and then came to the palace and told Empress Fu all of Huan Tan's words, telling her to be careful.
Soon after, Dong Xian finally looked at Empress Fu and wanted to kick her off the empress's position in order to support his sister to the throne.
Dong Xian first hinted at the Taiyi Ling Zhenqin to collect the sins of the Fu family, and then ordered the arrest of Empress Fu's younger brother Fu Xi, hoping to use this as a breakthrough to destroy the Fu clan.
Fortunately, Huan Tan had already been reminded by Huan Tan before, and had already prepared for this, and Dong Xian had not been able to find any evidence of Fu's crime in the end. Because of insufficient evidence, Fu Xi was released, and the case was closed.
Later, even if Dong Xian's power was monstrous, because he could not grasp any handle of the Fu family, he could not solve the Fu family.
When Dong Xian was promoted to Sima Da, he finally learned that the mastermind behind this incident was actually Huan Tan. Of course, Dong Xian did not look for him to settle accounts, but wanted to make friends with him. However, when Huan Tan wrote to Dong Xian about the way to supplement the country and protect himself, Dong Xian did not listen to his advice at all. Huan Tan saw dong xian like this, so he stopped interacting with him.
A few years later, Emperor Wu died, and Wang Mang and Wang Zhengjun took the opportunity to take control of the imperial government. Although Dong Xian also resisted, he failed to fight Wang Mang in the end and died on the road. The Fu family, which Dong Xian had framed at the beginning, smoothly continued to the PingDi period.
