On July 25, 74 B.C., Liu Ai had entered the Weiyang Palace after bathing and fasting to see the Empress Dowager Shangguan, first was named the Marquis of Yangwu, and then, the ministers presented the emperor's jade seal and ribbon, Liu Ai had officially taken the emperor's throne, was Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty, and respected the Empress Dowager Shangguan as the Empress Dowager.
At this time, Liu Ai was already 18 years old, and the matter of the establishment was naturally quickly put on the agenda, at that time, Huo Guang was in charge of the government, and the Empress Dowager was Huo Guang's granddaughter, and Liu Ai had the emperor himself supported by Huo Guang, and he had no foundation.
In the eyes of the ministers, the queen should come out of the Huo family, and Huo Guang happens to have a daughter who has reached marriageable age, and she is the best candidate for the queen.
But Liu Yi is no longer willing to make the Huo family the queen, after all, Huo Guang controls the government, if Huo Guang's daughter is the queen, plus the empress dowager in the palace, the whole world will really be the Huo family, he Liu Yi can only be a puppet, he is unwilling.
And the most important thing, Liu Ai already has a wife and children, just a year before Liu Ai has succeeded to the throne, that is, in 75 BC, Liu Ai and Xu Pingjun have been married, this marriage is not easy, it should be said that Liu Ai's marriage is not easy.
Liu Yi is already the grandson of the prince Liu Ju, in the original witch curse, Jiang Chong framed Liu Ju, and Liu Ju raised troops to kill Jiang Chong for self-protection when he could not contact Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
As a result, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty thought that Liu Ju was going to rebel, and ordered people to quell the rebellion, Liu Ju committed suicide in defeat, his mother Wei Zifu committed suicide, Liu Ju's family and disciples were all executed, and only Liu Ju, who was still in infancy, had escaped a catastrophe and was admitted to the county prison.
Bingji, who was in charge of going to the county prison to investigate the witch Gu, knew that Liu Ju was innocent and took good care of Liu Zhi, not only found a female prisoner to be responsible for feeding Liu Zhi, but also provided him with food, clothing and medicine, so that Liu Zhi had survived safely day by day.
Later, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty chased and killed the prisoners because of the spirit of the Son of Heaven in Chang'an Prison, Bingji protected the prisoners of the County Prison with his own strength, and when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty granted amnesty to the world, Bingji thought that Liu Ill could no longer live in the County Prison, but because of Liu Ill's embarrassing position, there was no place to dare to take in Liu Ill, and Bingji had to send Liu Ill to his grandmother's house.
Soon after, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty died, leaving an edict before his death, adopting Liu Ai in the Ye Court, and ordering Zongzheng to enter Liu Ai into the royal genealogy, which was an acknowledgment of Liu Ai's status as a member of the royal family, but it was nothing more.
In this way, Liu Ill has been raised in the Ye Ting, Ye Ting ordered Zhang He to take care of Liu Ill very much, and also paid for Liu Ill to study, and when Liu Ill has grown up, Zhang He even wanted to marry his granddaughter to Liu Ill, but was beaten by Zhang He's younger brother Zhang Anshi.
After all, during the reign of Emperor Liu Fuling of the Han Dynasty, Liu Aiji's identity was still very embarrassing and sensitive, and officials in the DPRK and China did not dare to contact him, so Zhang He could only dispel the idea of marrying his granddaughter, but he still cared about Liu Aiji's marriage and wanted to choose a good wife for Liu Aiji.
At this time, Zhang He heard that Xu Pingjun, the daughter of Xu Guanghan, a tyrant and a widow, had a sign of great nobility, and he was moved.
Speaking of Xu Pingjun, Xu Pingjun had promised people before, but he could wait for marriage, and the other party died, Xu Pingjun's mother asked Xu Pingjun for divination, but he didn't expect the result of asking for divination to be a sign of a nobleman.
Zhang He said to Xu Guanghan when he was drunk: "The emperor's great-grandson is a close relative of the emperor, even if his status is low now, he can be the marquis of Guannei, and he can be chosen as his son-in-law." ”
In 75 BC, Liu Ying and Xu Pingjun were married, and in the second year of marriage, Xu Pingjun gave birth to a son, Liu Zheng.
Just when the family of three was living a happy and ordinary life, a piece of gold cake in the sky hit Liu Aiji.
After Liu Yi succeeded to the throne, he naturally wanted Xu Pingjun to be the queen, after all, this was the wife he married when he was young, and he also gave birth to a son for him, no matter what, he would not abandon him, they shared hardships and sorrows, and naturally they had to share wealth and prosperity.
Of course, the background of the queen during the Han Dynasty was not so particular, but who made Huo Guang's daughter too suitable? In order to make Huo Guang's daughter the queen, Xu Pingjun should naturally give way.
It's just that in the matter of the post-establishment, although Liu Ai and the ministers have very different ideas, they have not said the other party they like, especially the ministers, who have repeatedly asked Liu Ai to be established, and have repeatedly said that Xu Pingjun's identity is not suitable to be a queen.
Liu Ai has just sat on the throne, without any foundation, and he doesn't dare to really fight with Huo Guang, but Liu Ai is already bloody, he doesn't want to offend Huo Guang, but he also doesn't want to be led by Huo Guang's nose, so Liu Ai has issued an edict to let the ministers find a sword.
This sword is not a world-famous sword, but a sword that he does not leave when he travels out for righteousness, Liu Ill was already very poor at that time, and the sword used was naturally not much better, in fact, there was no need to look for it at all, but Liu Ill had already used this matter to convey a trait in his character like a group of ministers, that is, to miss the old.
He misses the old, so he turns a blind eye to all kinds of swords in the palace, and only likes the old swords he carries with him when he is young, he misses the old, so it is impossible to live up to Xu Pingjun, the wife.
When the ministers heard Liu Ai's edict, what else did they not understand, knowing that Liu Ai had just wanted Xu Pingjun to be the queen, so he immediately asked for Xu Pingjun to be the queen.
Why is it a short-lived victory? Because Xu Pingjun was indeed made empress, but she was not a long empress.
On November 19, 74 BC, Xu Pingjun was made empress, despite this, Huo Guang's wife Huo Xian still wanted her daughter to be the queen, but she couldn't find an opportunity, and in 71 BC, Huo Xian finally waited for the opportunity.
This year, Xu Pingjun was pregnant, but she was sick when she was about to give birth, and the female doctor Chun Yuyan often treated Xu Pingjun, and her husband wanted to be transferred, so she asked Chun Yuyan to turn to Huo Xian for help, Huo Xian took this opportunity to let Chun Yuyan poison her when Xu Pingjun gave birth, and Chun Yuyan agreed for her husband.
After Xu Pingjun gave birth, Chun Yuyan asked Xu Pingjun to drink aconite and combine the big medicine pills, and soon Xu Pingjun died. Liu Ill has investigated this matter, and the doctors were imprisoned, Huo Xian was afraid and told Huo Guang, Huo Guang directly explained that Liu Ill had been wrong, and signed an order to exempt Chun Yuyan from questioning.
Huo Guang is so upright, Liu Yi can only admit it, and no longer track down the queen's death, but it is a pity that Xu Pingjun, who was only 19 years old, was poisoned in this way.
By the time this matter passed, Liu Ying already knew that he was not capable of confronting Huo Guang, he was not even in charge of the government, the government was still in Huo Guang's hands, Liu Ying had to be obscure, this time, Liu Yi had compromised and made Huo Guang's daughter the queen.
Of course, Queen Huo was not the queen for a long time, Huo Guang died of illness in 68 BC, Liu Yi had begun to govern pro-government, the Huo family began to decline, the next year, Liu Yi had set up Xu Pingjun's son Liu Zheng as the prince, Huo Xian was unwilling, so he let Queen Huo poison Liu Zheng, but Queen Huo has not succeeded, but let Huo Xian's poisoning of Xu Pingjun leaked out.
Therefore, in 66 BC, the Huo family rebelled, and as a result, the clan was exterminated, and Empress Huo was also deposed in Zhaotai Palace, and committed suicide in 54 BC.
Liu Ai can be regarded as avenging Xu Pingjun.
