After the short-lived emperor Liu He was deposed by the powerful minister Huo Guang, the Han Xuan Emperor Liu Yiji was supported as the new emperor. When Liu Yiji was making empress, the hundred officials unanimously elected Huo Guang's daughter Huo Chengjun, but Liu Yiji was shocked, and he suddenly issued an edict to find an old sword that he used when he was young and depressed.
For a while, everyone looked at each other, and what medicine did the emperor sell in this gourd, and whether he went to find a broken sword after the establishment?
At this time, the Organic Spirit Minister guessed the reason for it: it turned out that Liu Yiji had encountered the scourge of witchcraft in his childhood, and almost died prematurely, and although Liu Yi, who had become an orphan, had finally been recognized as inheriting the royal identity, after all, he was helpless, and the royal family did not care about a fallen prince, let alone the power minister to marry the child to him. The old sword that the emperor was looking for was actually a poor girl with hair when he fell, and his name was Xu Pingjun.
But no one expected that Emperor Han Zhao died young, and the later Emperor Han was stripped of power because he was too anxious to centralize power, so the emperor's throne was passed to Liu Yijie in a vague way.
I thought that Liu Yi would know the advance and retreat, and as a result, he just ascended the throne to look for old love, which was blatantly opposed to Huo Guang.
To say he is stupid? Of course, Liu Yi was not stupid, and even the Empress Dowager Shangguan acquiesced in this matter, but the sword was deeply affectionate and how to give it up.
In the end, seeing that the new emperor was so insistent, Huo Guang also knew that he could not ask for it, so he reluctantly allowed Xu Pingjun to become an empress.
However, how could the powerful Huo Guang family swallow this breath, his wife secretly ordered the female doctor Chun Yuyan to poison. Soon Xu Pingjun was killed, and Liu Yiji was so grief-stricken that he silently buried Xu Pingjun in the South Garden. He was also coerced by Huo Guang's power to marry Huo Guang's daughter Huo Chengjun.
All the spearheads of this matter were pointed at huo Guang's family, and the ministers of the court, including Emperor Xuan of Han, knew in their hearts. Unfortunately, he had just been supported and sat on the dragon chair, and he had no real power in his hands, and Liu Yiji only had patience.
Four years later, Huo Guang fell ill and died, after which the Huo clan rebelled, and was caught by Liu Yi, and the family of the powerful ministers at that time was beheaded by the door. Liu Yi had centralized power to the central government and at the same time avenged his dead wife.
Huo Chengjun was forced to commit suicide, and Liu Yi had issued an edict to abolish it. The book reads:
It is not advisable to worship the clothes of the Temple, and it is not allowed to accept the Mandate of Heaven.
Cinderella Xu Pingjun waited for the prince's promise, but unfortunately got involved in the political struggle and was poisoned.
Xu Pingjun is unfortunate, she is a glass shoe, the style is not exquisite, not gorgeous, not as good as the Huo family's crystal shoes. Collapse in the struggle for power;
But she was also lucky to meet Liu Yiji, and the emperor's highlight did not cover up Liu Yiji's love for her. In the end, the husband avenged himself and hated himself. Because for Liu Yiji, what is the dazzling crystal shoes.
Although the sword is good, it is not as deep as the old sword.
