In 87 B.C., the heroic Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty came to the end of his life, and on the occasion of his death, he officially issued an edict to appoint his 8-year-old son Liu Fuling as the crown prince, with Huo Guang, Jin Riyan, Shangguan Ji, Sang Hongyang and Tian Qianqiu as ministers to assist the young new emperor. These 5 ministers all had a pivotal position at that time, and their endings were different later, so this article will take a look at the resumes of these 5 people.
1, the great Sima general Huo Guang
Huo Guang is the younger brother of the champion Hou Huo Quai, in 121 BC Huo Qubing went out to the Xiongnu and came back from his hometown, so he brought Huo Guang, who was only a teenager, to Chang'an, thanks to Huo Quai, Huo Guang also held some official positions. Four years later, Huo Qu died of illness, and Huo Guang stayed by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, working diligently for more than 20 years, without making any mistakes, so he won the trust of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
In 91 BC, after the prince Liu Ju was forced to death by Jiang Chong with the scourge of witchcraft, Emperor Wu decided to appoint Liu Fuling, the son of Mrs. Gouyi, as the prince, and after careful observation, he believed that only Huo Guang could shoulder the heavy responsibility of entrusting orphans. He even ordered the Huangmen painter to paint the "Picture of the Princes of the Zhou Dynasty Fucheng Dynasty" to Huo Guang, implying that he was ready to assist the government.
In 87 BC, when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was seriously ill, he ordered Huo Guang and others to assist the government. After Emperor Zhao succeeded to the throne, Huo Guang was named the Marquis of Bolu, when Emperor Zhao was young, the power of the court and government were controlled by Huo Guang, during which he thwarted the rebellion of Liu Dan, the king of Yan, at that time Huo Guang and Shangguan fought for power, and finally won and completely controlled the government. Emperor Zhao was still entrusted to Huo Guang when he became an adult, so during the 14 years that Emperor Zhao was emperor, Huo Guang was basically in charge of the government.
Huo Guang
In 74 BC, after the death of Emperor Zhao, because he had no children, Huo Guang and others welcomed Liu He, the king of Changyi, as the emperor, but Liu He did more than 1,000 ridiculous things in 27 days. After that, Huo Guang discussed with his ministers to welcome Liu Yi, the great-grandson of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, as the emperor, that is, Liu Xun, Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty.
After Emperor Xuan succeeded to the throne, Huo Guang was still in charge of the government, and the Huo family at that time was already a master of high merit, and even Huo Guang's wife poisoned and killed Emperor Xuan's wife Empress Xu in order to make her daughter the queen. But at that time, due to the power of the Huo family, Emperor Xuan still chose to forbear. After Huo Guang's death in 68 BC, Emperor Xuan gave Huo Guang an emperor-like funeral and asked him to accompany the burial of Emperor Mao of the Han Dynasty. Two years later, Huo Guang's wife Huo Xian poisoned Empress Xu Pingjun's mother and son, and the entire Huo family was executed. But thinking of Huo Guang's previous contributions, Emperor Xuan still listed him as the first of the eleven heroes of the Qilin Pavilion.
2, the general of the cavalry, Kim Il-pan
Jin Riyan was originally the crown prince of the Xiongnu Hutu, in 121 years ago, he talked about the blow of Huo Qu's disease, the Huns Hun evil and Hugh Tu suffered heavy losses, and surrendered to the Han Dynasty under consultation, and Jin Riyan was placed in the Huangmen Department to raise horses, at the age of 14. Later, he was appreciated by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and his position continued to rise, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty also appreciated him very much.
Kim Il Wan
Jin Riyan has been by the side of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty for decades, and he never looks directly at Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty rewarded him with palace maids, but he did not dare to get close. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty wanted to include his daughter in the harem, but Jin Riyan refused. Jin Riyan's behavior is like this, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty thinks that his behavior is particularly strange and rare. When he was dying in 87 BC, he appointed Jin Ilyan as one of the ministers of Tuogu, and assisted the new emperor with Huo Guang and others. In 86 BC, Jin Riyan died of serious illness, Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty held a grand funeral for him, gave him burial utensils and a cemetery, and sent him a funeral with a light car sergeant, and the army lined up until Maoling, and gave him the title of Jinghou.
3, General Zuo Shangguan
Shangguan Ji was a Yulin period gatekeeper when he was young, and in the early years of Taichu, he went to Dawan with Li Guangli, the general of the second division, and he was sent by Li Guangli to attack Yu Chengcheng and chased him to Kangju. After the triumph, he worshiped Shaofu with the merit of "daring to go deep". When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was seriously ill, he made Shangguan Ji the general of the left and ordered him to be an auxiliary minister.
Shangguan Fence
Shangguan Ji and Huo Guang were originally sons and daughters, Shangguan Ji's son Shangguan An married Huo Guang's daughter, and the relationship between the two was also very good. However, later, because of the punishment of Shangguan An's son Shangguan An, and the failure of the eldest princess of Hubei to seek official positions, he turned against Huo Guang. In the first 80 years, Shangguan Ji colluded with the imperial historian Sang Hongyang and Yan King Liu Dan to plot rebellion, and was killed in defeat, and the whole clan was executed.
4. Goshi Daifu Kuwa Hiroyo
Among these people, Sang Hongyang is the oldest one, he is a famous financial expert in the Western Han Dynasty, and he is also the money bag of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. The reason why Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was able to launch a large-scale war against the Xiongnu was the credit of Sang Hongyang.

Sang Hongyang was born in a merchant family, at the age of thirteen he was proficient in mental arithmetic into the palace, successively served as the servant, the big farmer, the governor of the Su Duwei, the big Si Nong, etc., with the strong support of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, he successively implemented the economic policies such as the calculation of the Xuan, the Xuan, the salt and iron official camp, the average loss, the leveling, the currency reform, and the wine, so that the financial affairs of the imperial court have been greatly improved.
In 87 BC, when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was dying, he was promoted to Sang Hongyang as the imperial historian, and Huo Guang and others assisted the government, 80 years ago, Sang Hongyang was involved in the rebellion of Liu Dan, the king of Yan, and Shangguan Ji's father and son, and was implicated and killed.

Chiaki Ta
Tian Qianqiu didn't have any strange and extraordinary talents, he didn't have any military exploits, and his qualifications were shallow, just because a letter was in line with Emperor Wu's mind, and he was named a marquis and a prime minister in a few months. After Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty died of illness, Tian Qianqiu assisted Emperor Young to continue to be prime minister, a total of 12 years, and died of old age in the middle of his term. Because he was old, the emperor treated him well, and allowed him to enter the palace in a small car when he met him, so he was called "Che Cheng Xiang", and even his name was called "Che Qianqiu".
Brief summary:
Of the five people carefully selected by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, although Huo Guang was the chief, his family power was not large, and he had no confidence to usurp the throne; Jin Riyan was a foreigner, and it was already a very high honor to be able to become a minister of Tuogu, and he could only be loyal to the emperor; Shangguan Ji was a military general, but his military achievements were not great, and he would not pose a threat to the new emperor; although Sang Hongyang was ranked fourth, he had the most seniority, and he could suppress several others with his seniority at critical moments; Tian Qianqiu had no merit, and although he was the nominal head of a hundred officials, his actual power was not so great。
However, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did not expect that after his death, the system of supporting orphans carefully designed by him was quickly broken, Jin Riyan died the following year, Shangguan Ji and Sang Hongyang were involved in the rebellion of Liu Dan, the king of Yan, and were killed, Tian Qianqiu was a good man, and he had no achievements, and finally became the leader of Huo Guang's family.
