In the early years of the Western Han Dynasty, there was a Confucian named Fu Sheng, who made important contributions to the history of Chinese culture, and it was he who passed down the "Book of Shang" that we see today. After Fusheng, the family has been prosperous for a long time, especially after entering the Eastern Han Dynasty, and is known for its faithfulness.
The glory of the Fu family in the Eastern Han Dynasty began with the Great Situ Fu Zhan. Fu Zhanzi Huigong, whose father Fu Li once taught emperor Hancheng the Book of Poetry, was a famous Confucian in the world. Fu Zhan was not only able to pass on less family learning, but also once went to the Taixue in Chang'an to study, becoming a family of his own, and teaching hundreds of disciples after completing his studies. In Wang Mang's time, Hanoi County was renamed The Rear Team, and the Capital Lieutenant was changed to The Commander, and Fu Cham was appointed as the Rear Team Commander. After the fall of Wang Mang in the first year of the first year (23 AD), Emperor Gengshi appointed Fu Zhan as the Taishou of pingyuan. At that time, the world was in chaos, but the Plain County under the rule of Fu Zhan was peaceful and quiet, and there was no trouble. Fu Zhan even taught his students in his spare time and never stopped teaching. Moreover, Fu Zhan also told his family that ancient monarchs would reduce their rations in the face of famine, let alone me? If there is a famine today, how can we bear it when our own family is full of food and warm clothes? Their families also lived on coarse grains, and the surplus was used to help the township, and for a time they defected to more than a hundred families in Fuzhan. At that time, the local states and counties were full of troops to respect themselves, and the governor of Pingyuan County also wanted to help Fu Zhan raise troops, but Fu Zhan decisively beheaded him, and Pingyuan County was also saved.
After the Guangwu Emperor Liu Xiu ascended the throne, he heard that Fu Zhan was a Confucian old minister, so he recruited him to his side and appointed him as Shangshu, and the various systems of the imperial court were formulated by Fu Zhan. Moreover, Emperor Guangwu thought that Fu Zhan was the talent of the chancellor, and it happened that the grand situ Deng Yu was also out on the expedition, and Emperor Guangwu appointed Fu Zhan to act as Situ, and in the third year of Jianwu (27 AD), he officially appointed Fu Zhan as the Grand Situ and the Marquis of Fengyang. At that time, the world was not yet stable, and the area controlled by the Guangwu Emperor Liu Xiu's clique was the core area of the Central Plains such as Luoyang and Chang'an, and there were many separatist forces in other places. Once there was a team occupying Fuping, and Liu Xiu could not attack for a long time. This group of people also knows that there is no hope for confrontation, but they dare not easily trust others. They let out a word, as long as the Great Situ Fugong came, they would definitely surrender. The Guangwu Emperor Liu Xiu immediately sent Fu Zhan, and after Fu Zhan arrived in Fuping, the group immediately surrendered, and Fu Zhan also gave them a proper arrangement. Fu Zhanqi not only will not lose his morality under any circumstances, but also "cultivates on his own, does not destroy himself, believes in learning, keeps the way of death and goodness, is a teacher, and behaves in an instrumental manner." Moreover, during his tenure as an official, he always stressed the need to take Li Le as the first task of governing the people, and after serving as the Grand Situ, he suggested to Emperor Guangwu to restore the local township drinking ceremony in time, emphasizing the emphasis on subjugating people with virtue.
Later, emperor Guangwu went out on a expedition, and Fu Zhan and others presided over the festival of the Zongmiao Temple. At this ceremony, two officials were disrespectful and did not observe the proper etiquette, and Fu Zhan was not punished in time, so he was deposed. In the sixth year of Jianwu (30 AD), he was renamed Marquis of Buqi, and in the summer of the thirteenth year of Jianwu (37 AD), the Guangwu Emperor Liu Xiu was ready to reuse Fu Zhan again, but unfortunately, at the banquet of the Guangwu Emperor, Fu Zhan suffered from heat stroke and soon fell seriously ill and died. Emperor Guangwu was very sad and personally came to mourn and reward the burial ground. At that time, people commented on Fu Zhan: "Under the principle of honesty and love, there is a clear distinction between likes and dislikes, Confucianism through generations, a master of fame and faith, a practice of Ming, and a master of state politics." ”
Fu Long, the son of Fu Zhan, was also praised by the townspeople for his discipline early on, and after Emperor Guangwu ascended the throne, he was very appreciative of Fu Long and regarded him as a close confidant. At the beginning of emperor Guangwu's reign, a force led by Liu Yong, the former King of Liang, was also entrenched in the area of present-day eastern Henan and Shandong, and Liu Yong mainly relied on the warlord Zhang Bu and others. Emperor Guangwu initially wanted to use a political offensive to solve Zhang Bu, so he sent Fulong to Shandong in the name of Taizhong Dafu to persuade Zhang Bu to surrender. Zhang Bu also wanted to surrender to Liu Xiu at first, and followed Fu Long to Luoyang to meet Emperor Guangwu. However, Emperor Guangwu only made him a marquis, which obviously did not satisfy his ambitions. In the third year of Jianwu, Emperor Guangwu sent Fulong to appoint Zhang Bu as Taishou, while Liu Yong sent someone to make Zhang Bu the King of Qi. Zhang Bu coveted the position of Marquis, so he killed Fu Long and threw himself into Liu Yong's clique again. Before his death, Fu Long also wrote to the Guangwu Emperor Liu Xiu to suggest that the emperor pacify Shandong in time. Liu Xiu read Fu Long's book and said to Fu Zhan with tears: "Long can be said to have the festival of Su Wu! ”
Later, Fu Zhan's marquisate was inherited by his son Fu Qi. After that, Fu Guang and Fu Chen successively inherited this title. Fu Chen was enthroned as a "special jin" because his granddaughter was made a nobleman by the Han Shun Emperor. Fu Chen's son, Fu Wuji, was not only able to pass on his family's learning, but also had a lot of knowledge. During the reign of Emperor Shun of Han, he was appointed as a lieutenant of the Shizhong Tun Cavalry. In the first year of Yonghe (136 AD), the Han Shun Emperor ordered Fu Wuji and Huang Jing and others to edit the imperial collection together. After Emperor Huan of Han ascended the throne, Emperor Huan of Han also ordered Fu Wuji to participate in the compilation of the Records of the Eastern Han Dynasty together with Huang Jing, Cui Yuan, and others. In addition to his official duties, Fu Wuji himself once "collected ancient and modern, deleted the important things", and wrote a "Fuhou Note".
Fu Wuji's son Fu Zhi Guan to the Great Si Nong, Fu Zhi's son Fu Quan was known as "deep and generous", and after raising filial piety, he was appointed as the General of the Five Senses. Later, he was favored by Emperor Huan of Han and married Princess Yang'an, the eldest daughter of Emperor Huan of Han. Princess Fuquan and Princess Yang'an had a total of five sons and a daughter, and her daughter Fushou later married Emperor Xian of Han, and was made empress in the second year of Xingping (195 AD). Emperor Xian of Han and Empress Fu can be said to be a husband and wife in distress, and Empress Fu followed the emperor and suffered from mourning. Later, when he arrived in Xuchang, although he was no longer displaced, he became Cao Cao's puppet. In the fourteenth year of Jian'an, Fu Quan died in anxiety. A few years later, Cao Cao discovered Empress Fu's dissatisfaction with him, deposed the empress as a shuren, and killed more than a hundred members of the Fu family. In the chaotic world, the famous and prestigious clans can survive, less than one hundred, and the prosperity of the Fu family for more than a hundred years has also been ended.
