In the sixth year of the Yuan Hunt (117 BC), the stars fell. With a dazzling light, the 24-year-old Huo went ill and ended his legendary life.
At the age of 17, he went out of Dingxiang, at the age of 19, he marched to Hexi, and at the age of 21, he and the four words of "sealing the wolf Juxu" became the supreme pursuit of the soldiers of all generations. The use of the term "heavenly jealousy" is not enough to describe the regret for the early death of Huo Fu's illness.
With the clamor of various "conspiracy theories", the cause of death of Huo's disease is constantly being re-speculated and redefined. Either died at the hands of Liu Che, or died at the hands of Wei Qing, or died at the hands of the Li family...
For history, there is nothing wrong with bold speculation, but what matches it should be carefully verified. If Huo Went to illness died of a political conspiracy, Sima Qian had something to hide? Liu Che's hand? Wei Qing's moving hand? Maybe not.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="6" > What truth does Sima Qian need to hide? </h1>
The death of Huo Fuyi was simply concluded in Sima Qian's pen, "Yuan Hunted for Six Years and Died", so many "conspiracy theories" said that Tai Shi Gong was too simple to hide some kind of truth.
Look at the records of other people in those history books, Wei Qing's death was "Great General Qingpao", and Huo Guang's death was "Guang Xue". In the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" in later generations, there are so many "薨" and "卒" in the book.
The ancients have always paid attention to refinement in writing history, if the cause of death is not special, it is very normal not to write in depth, how did it go to Huo to be sick here is different? Is there something to hide?
Most people who have read the "Records of History" probably have such a feeling that Sima Qian is really straight and tight, and there is nothing he does not dare to say, and there is nothing that he does not dare to write.
Starting from Liu Bang, he did not let go of all kinds of black materials of the old Liu family, and wrote that it was called an unscrupulous. He dared to set up this ji for Xiang Yu, dared to give Chen Shili a family, who was sima Qian afraid of? For whom does sima qian need to hide it?
If we must say that Sima Qian did not write something, it is probably for two reasons: he did not know about this matter, or this thing did not happen at all.
Today, many people insist that the "history" they have created is the "truth" that historians dare not write, and such brains and attitudes are not advisable.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="47" > Emperor Liu Che of the Han Dynasty was not "Emperor Of Han"</h1>
Who is Liu Che? A generation of male lords, a grumpy old brother who has spent his whole life looking for the Xiongnu to fight, and Huo Fuyi is the fastest and sharpest steel knife in his hand. Don't underestimate Liu Che's deep desire to defeat the Xiongnu, in the face of the strategic goal of defeating the Xiongnu, all people and things have to make way for it, how could he kill Huo and self-destruct the Great Wall before the Xiongnu were destroyed?
For Huo Fuyi, the real "Tianzi protégé", Liu Che can be said to be extremely important, and he loves Wu and Wu even more. After Huo Went's death, Liu Che had great expectations for his son Huo Huan, hoping that Huo Huan would be able to lead soldiers to fight like Huo Qi when he grew up. When he sealed Mount Taishan, he took Huo Huan with him, and he took it with him to the top, what a grace it was.
But there are also "conspiracy theories" that will say that Huo Huan fell ill and died after he returned, and it must have been Liu Che who harmed him again...
As an emperor, Liu Che was suspicious, unkind, and authoritarian, and he changed his clothes like a change of clothes. But Liu Che's widowhood was targeted, in order to oppose those relatives of the emperor and the princes of the past, as well as the interest groups hidden behind them.
The reason why Wei Qing and Huo Fuyi were reused was first of all their extraordinary military talents, and secondly, their humble origins and no background, which also made Liu Che extremely reassure them.
Please appoint the Three Kings, which is a rare move for Huo to participate in politics. Prior to this, the Qunchen had been playing on this matter for nearly a year in order to consolidate the position of crown prince, and Liu Che had never agreed.
This incident has also become an important basis for "conspiracy theory", saying that Huo Wente was mixed up in this matter, saying that this was an obvious challenge to the imperial power and aroused Liu Che's deep suspicion.
Huo Went ill as the Grand Sima gui, although he did not participate much in the politics of the dynasty, but he did not exceed his authority to ask for the three kings, and as far as political skill was concerned, did Liu Che need to take Huo Tou's illness to heart? As far as Huo Wentong's shooting of Li Gan was concerned, this was actually no different from a temperamental "erzhuzi", such a person has never been a good hand in politics.
Moreover, if Liu Che was to suppress the Wei family and the Huo family, if Liu Che was jealous of Huo's illness and got rid of him, then wouldn't it be Liu Che who dug his own grave for the Great Han Dynasty in the future?
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="48" > was it Wei Qing who killed Huo? </h1>
Wei Qing's childhood was very tragic, and Huo's illness was actually not much better.
He was illegitimate and did not see his biological father for the first time until he was 21 years old. The Han Dynasty was a dynasty that paid great attention to the matrilineal clan, and the relationship between uncles and nephews had always been extremely close, and the relationship between Wei Qing and Huo Fu was similar, and the relationship between the two was excellent.
In the fifth year of the Yuan Dynasty (118 BC), Li Dared stabbed Wei Qing. In the same year, Huo went ill and shot Li Gan while hunting. This shows that the nephew is so angry with his uncle that even the Li family does not pay attention to it.
This is an era of strict law and discipline, it can be said that Huo went ill for the sake of his uncle and was not even afraid of death, and Wei and Huo Ben were one.
The "conspiracy theory" says that Emperor Wu of Han sealed Wei Qing and Huo Fuyi at the same time, in order to "promote Huo Huo and suppress Wei", is this not to regard Liu Che as a fool? Supporting a nephew who wears a pair of pants together to suppress his uncle?
Just like these two honest people, liu che who came from the two foreign relatives of the empress dowager and the empress dowager had to play tricks with them? With Liu Che's political skills, he may not have seen what threat Wei and Huo could bring to him.
Like Huo's disease, wei Qing was also an honest person in terms of the art of scheming. The "Records of History" records that Ning Cheng once said to Wei Qing: "The reason why you were favored was because of your sister Wei Zifu, and now that Lady Wang is favored, you have to please the Wang family." Wei Qing foolishly took five hundred gold to celebrate his birthday, and Liu Che was stunned to see it, because in his cognition, Wei Qing did not have such a flower intestine, and after careful questioning, he knew that this human feeling was all done by Ning Cheng.
It is also clearly recorded in the "Records of History" that Wei Qing and Huo Fu were not keeping disciples, because they knew how Tian Feng and Dou Bao died. Just like these two honest people, will there be a dog blood bridge section of "thick old uncle yin Geng Zhi nephew"?
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="49" > Although Sima Qian did not write the cause of death, Huo Guang said</h1>
In the supplementary notes made by the Western Han Dynasty scholar Chu Shaosun for the "Records of History", it was written that "when (Huo) Guang was not dead, he wrote: 'The general of the Hussars went to the army to serve in the army and died of illness...'" This is also the only record of the cause of Huo's illness and death in the historical records.
According to the "Average Life Expectancy and Life Expectancy of People in China's Dynasties", the Xia Shang Period was only 18 years old, the Han Dynasty was about 22 years old, the Tang Dynasty was about 27 years old, and the Republic of China period was not yet 40 years old. This is due to both wars and chaos, as well as backward health and medical conditions in ancient times.
An appendicitis may be able to kill people, and a serious cold may directly lose their lives. The Black Death in the Middle Ages took away a third of Europeans, smallpox in the 18th century took about 150 million lives, and the Spanish flu in the early 20th century killed about 30 million people.
In the era of Hodg's disease, it was more than two thousand years ago, and the medical conditions were only worse than in later generations. A sudden illness may easily kill you.
From the name of Huo's disease, it may also be enough for us to make some guesses, why is it called "going to the disease"? Perhaps there has been a hint of illness since childhood, coupled with a high-intensity military career, the untimely death of Huo Tou's illness is not a perverse thing.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="50" > a little more respect and less "conspiracy theories."</h1>
In today's information explosion, there will always be many irresponsible inferences and speculations, all of which may be detonated in an instant because of their novel posture, but they will leave a very far-reaching bad impact.
There is a greater room for imagination in the historical theme itself, but all unverified and arbitrary inferences will become contempt for history and thus mislead the reader.
Liu Chexiong is a rough man, Wei Qing and Huo Fuyi are even more brilliant "imperial double bibi", all kinds of "conspiracy theories" should be more cautious, and give due respect to historical heroes.
