(Huo Guang)
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" >, Huo Guang is stepping forward</h1>
Huo Guang, the character Mengzi, originally lived with his father Huo Zhongru in the small county town of Pingyang. At that time, he was just an ordinary teenager from a family of petty officials.
Just because of one person, it completely changed the trajectory of Huo Guang's life.
That person was Huo Guang's half-brother, Huo Fu, who was then the general of the Hussars.
Because Huo Guang was very handsome, good-looking, modest and prudent, loyal and diligent, when the young general Huo went to Pingyang to visit his father, he admired this brother who was only ten years old, so he asked Huo Guang's father for permission and brought him back to Chang'an to cultivate carefully.
Huo Guang, who was low-key and capable, soon gained a foothold in Chang'an, and Emperor Wu of Han, who was also partial to Huo Guang's illness, loved Wu and Wu, and naturally paid special attention to Huo Guang, and first arranged for him to be an ordinary lang official, seeing that he acted steadily and conscientiously, and soon moved to serve as a waiter.

The young age of his brother Huo's illness made Huo Guang know how to be more careful in dealing with the world, and he understood that he had no backer, and he had to fight steadily and steadily to have his own day, in order to live up to the care and promotion of his brother Huo's illness.
Since then, Huo Guang has worked harder to deal with this hard-won errand in his hands. Emperor Wu of Han saw that Huo Guang was still dedicated to his post and acted calmly and cautiously, and he was very appreciative, so he promoted Huo Guang to the rank of Fengche Du Lieutenant and worked as a guard at his side.
In this way, Huo Guang transferred to Emperor Wu of Han and served Emperor Wu of Han for more than twenty years. In the past twenty years, Huo Guang, who knows self-discipline and self-respect, has always been diligent in his duties by virtue of his agility and ability, and has successfully completed the work of the guards and the tasks assigned, without a single mistake. Emperor Wu of Han naturally saw the achievements obtained with such painstaking efforts, believing that Huo Guang was a reliable pillar of the country, but he could be of great use, so he gradually valued Huo Guang and trusted him extraordinarily.

<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > 2, Huo Guang assisted Emperor Zhao of Han</h1>
In his later years, Emperor Wu of Han had a suspicious personality, was subjected to treacherous rumors, was partial to listening to and believing, and in the process of dealing with the "Witch Deception Case" instigated by the embroidered emissary Jiang Chong, in a fit of rage, after killing all the princelings led by Empress Wei Zifu and Crown Prince Liu Zhao, he angrily set up the 8-year-old crown prince Liu Fuling as the crown prince, and ordered the painter to paint a painting "Zhou Gongfu Cheng Dynasty Princes Map" and give it to Huo Guang.
Huo Guang, who understood the meaning of Emperor Wu of Han's Tuoguo, taoguang cultivated obscurity and began to assist Liu Fuling wholeheartedly.
In 87 BC, after the death of Emperor Wu of Han, Liu Fuling succeeded to the throne as Emperor Zhao of Han, and Huo Guang was appointed as the Grand Sima and Great General, and together with the Guanglu Grand Master Jin Riju, the Zuo General Shangguan Jie, and the Imperial Historian Sang Hongyang, he was also the minister of Gu Ming and jointly assisted the government.
After Huo Guang served as the first assistant, he still acted calmly and paid attention to following the pro-people policy of the Han Wu Emperor period: lightly dispensing with thin endowments, encouraging farming, resting with the people, and "prohibiting harsh violence", reducing taxes and leveling grievances, and a series of measures to benefit the people. Within a few years, the social economy of the Han Zhao Emperor had recovered and developed, and Huo Guang's prestige was also increasing day by day.
This caused the worries and dissatisfaction of Shangguan Jie, Sang Hongyang, and others who were also ministers of the Ministry of Life.
Shangguan Jie was originally related to Huo Guang, and Shangguan Jie's son Shangguan An's wife was Huo Guang's eldest daughter. In order to consolidate his position in the court and intend to become the "first foreign relative", Shangguan Jie planned to make the 6-year-old daughter of his son Shangguan An an empress. This move was opposed by Huo Guang, who concealed the matter because it involved his granddaughter and did not think much about it.
Later, Shangguan Ji turned to Princess Togai to help, and the matter was completed. In order to repay Princess Gaichang, Shangguan Jie planned to support Princess Gaichang's sweetheart Ding Wairen as Hou, but huo Guang sternly refused.
Because of these two refusals, Shangguan Jie held a grudge against Huo Guang, so he joined forces with Sang Hongyang and other important ministers who were also dissatisfied with Huo Guang, and prepared to cooperate with the outside world, launched a coup d'état, killed Huo Guang in one fell swoop, and established Liu Dan, the King of Yan, as emperor.
The Han Zhao Emperor Liu Fuling was only 14 years old at this time, but he was very astute, and he saw through the wolf ambitions of Shangguan Jie and others, so he ordered Huo Guang to act and deal with the impending coup crisis.
(Liu Fuling)
Huo Guang, who lived up to his high expectations, immediately made a decision, taking advantage of the fact that Shangguan Jie and others had committed a plan to commit rebellion, and killed Shangguan Jie's father and son and Sang Hongyang and others in one fell swoop, and in the face of ironclad evidence, Liu Dan, the King of Yan, and Princess Gaichang committed suicide.
A crisis was properly eliminated. Since then, Sima Huoguang, who has gained the full trust of Emperor Zhao of Han, has monopolized the government and become the actual decision-maker during emperor Zhao's time.
Fortunately, Huo Guang, who was wise and foolish, was a loyal and capable vassal, who encouraged Nongsang and rested with the people at home; externally restored a policy of peace and pro-Xiongnu to ease hostile relations and make up for the depletion of national strength consumed by the poor military force of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in the later period.
This period, coupled with the further social and economic development of the later Han Xuan Emperor period, became another prosperous era of the Western Han Dynasty after the "rule of Wenjing", known in history as "Zhaoxuan Zhongxing".
(Emperor Xuan of Han)
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" >3, Huo Guang set a record of the abolition of emperors by the next generation of courtiers</h1>
After Huo Guang destroyed Shangguan Jie and Sang Hongyang, he became the most powerful courtier in the era of Emperor Zhao, and the Empress Shangguan was actually his granddaughter, and Huo Guang was temporarily powerful in the world.
Due to Emperor Han Zhao's ill health and childlessness, after a few years of illness and death, Emperor Han Zhao's adopted son Liu He the Prince of Changyi succeeded to the throne by agreement between Huo Guang and his courtiers.
Who knew that after Liu He became emperor, he had no intention of taking care of the government at all, but only to seek pleasure and have fun, feasting and singing and dancing in the harem from time to time, making the court a miasma of smoke, and intending to take away Huo Guang's power in the government.
Huo Guang, seeing that the situation was dangerous, secretly agreed with Sima Tian Yannian the Cheqi general Zhang Anshi and other important ministers that while Liu He's wings were not full, Yang Chang, the chancellor, would quickly send a letter to Empress Dowager Shangguan to express the title of Emperor Liu He to the throne, and the empress dowager directly deposed Liu He.sidder.
Liu He only ascended to the emperor's throne for 27 days, and then he was "dismissed" because of his nonsense. This is the classic legend of the first time in history that an emperor was deposed by a powerful courtier.
(Liu He)
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" >4, Huo Guang supported Emperor Xuan of Han</h1>
After Liu He was deposed, at huo Guang's behest, Liu Yiji(later renamed Liu Qian), the grandson of the late crown prince Liu Zhao, was proclaimed the new emperor, which was Emperor Xuan of Han.
In the early days of Emperor Xuan's reign, Huo Guang was still the first major minister, with full authority to handle the affairs of the imperial court. The cautious Huo Guang was well aware of the hidden dangers caused by the "Gong Gao Zhen Lord", so he expressed to Emperor Xuan of Han that he would "return to the emperor".
Although Emperor Xuan of Han, who had a deep heart and was good at concealing his forbearance, although he wanted to be pro-government and was also very jealous of Huo Guang in his heart, he was afraid that Huo Guang was still powerful at this time, so he made a blindfold and said, "Bo Luhou, you don't have to return to the government, and the state affairs have to be handled by you with full authority, but my yuan wife Xu Pingjun suffered a lot with me when she was in the countryside, can you support her as empress?" I just want to grow old with her whitehead. "
Huo Guang felt compassion for a moment and agreed to Emperor Xuan's request. However, Huo Guang's wife was still dissatisfied with her daughter's failure to become empress, so she bribed the imperial physician Chun Yuyan to poison empress Xu when empress Xu gave birth.
Emperor Xuan of Han had no choice but to endure grief, and hastily disposed of Chun Yuyan, did not show a trace of hatred in front of Huo Guang, and also made Huo Chengjun, Huo Guang's daughter, empress.
Huo Guang, who was in power, also relaxed his vigilance against Emperor Xuan of Han, but Huo Guang's neglect of his family also buried the hidden danger of being exterminated. After that, the Huo family became more and more willful, and the more indispensable style made Emperor Xuan of Han firmly determined to get rid of it quickly and the long-term plan of working in his heart.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" >5, Huo Guang's death was extremely mournful</h1>
In April 68 BC, huo Guang, who was highly powerful, died of illness. Emperor Xuan of Han held a state funeral for it, gave him royal burials such as jade clothes and a convenient house, and solemnly buried Huo Guang with an emperor-level funeral rite, burying him in Maoling tomb with the title of "Xuancheng".
When Empress Shangguan arrived at Huo Guang's funeral, she compared Huo Guang to Xiao He, the chancellor of the Early Han Dynasty, who was as meritorious as Xiao He, and should be buried with a state ceremony, and officials of the Dprk and Zhongzhong Who had more than two thousand stones should come to worship, and placed three hundred households to serve Huo Guang's mausoleum. It can be said that Huo Guang's posthumous affairs are also extremely mournful.
At the same time, Emperor Xuan of Han also granted his will, passing on his three thousand households to his nephew Huo Shan.
Later, Emperor Xuan of Han also ordered the painter to paint the images of eleven heroes and hang them in the Qilin Pavilion to show his merits, and Huo Guang ranked first.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" >6, the Huo family was beheaded by the door</h1>
Huo Guang, a generation of rulers who acted calmly, finally died of illness due to a lifetime of hard work, and a series of hidden blindfold methods adopted by Emperor Xuan of Han finally confused the Huo family.
At Huo Guang's burial, Huo Guang's wife was not grand enough to earn enough, and she expanded the size of her tomb again. Emperor Xuan of Han remained silent, acquiesced to permission, and forced himself to endure the past.
The Huo family did not converge because of the death of huo Guang, the "main backbone", but more indulgent because there was no persuasion from Huo Guang, and the great burial of Huo Guang by Emperor Xuan of Han and the infinite reward for the Huo family made the Huo family forgetful, spoiled and arrogant, thinking that the Han room could be deceived, but in this way, without the support of the Huo family, it could not manage the government, and it was everywhere and arrogant and chaotic.
In 66 BC, four years after Huo Guang's death, the Huo family was forced to Liangshan by the ready-to-be Han Xuan Emperor for "intending to rebel". However, at this time, the Huo family was already "scattered by the trees", where was it still the opponent of the royal family? The coup d'état launched by the Huo family in a hurry was nothing more than a crime of conspiracy to rebel. All the Xuan and Huo clans were arrested, the door was beheaded, Huo Guang's wife and son, nephew, son-in-law, etc. were all killed, Huo Shan and Huo Yun committed suicide, and Empress Huo Chengjun was deposed.
Huo Guang, who has acted calmly all his life, still did not escape the ruthless arrangement of fate after his death, and was dragged into the great crime of rebellion by his family, becoming a historical stain that cannot be washed away.
This was something he never expected. Fortunately, Emperor Xuan of Han, Emperor Cheng of Han, and Emperor Ping of Han all honored Huo Guang, remembered his assisted deeds, and added 100 households to guard his tomb.
Historical facts show that although Huo Guang himself can be strict with himself, he also needs to be vigilant when he neglects to discipline his family. It can be seen that a good home style tutoring is equally important and indispensable!
