Chapter 263 The end of the Western Han Dynasty
“After Queen Xu’s death, the doctors who treated her were arrested and held accountable. Chun Yuyan was also imprisoned and tried. Huo Guang’s wife was extremely frightened, so she bribed Chun Yuyan. Let him tell Huo Guang about poisoning Queen Xu. "
This innocent pig teammate didn't know Huo Guang when he was doing things earlier, but now he knew that he told Huo Guang when the incident happened, and he obviously wanted Huo Guang to deal with it.
If it was an ordinary pig teammate, he would leave it alone. However, this pig teammate is his wife and cannot be left alone. Moreover, even if Huo Guang said to Liu Xun, 'Your Majesty, it was all done by them privately. I don't care at all. "I don't know." Will Liu Xun believe it? Even if you believe it, how much will you believe?
Huo Guang’s crotch is covered with yellow mud, not a daddy, but also a daddy.
"Huo Guang was shocked after hearing this. He wanted to take the initiative to expose the matter to Liu Xun, but he couldn't bear it. Instead, he signed an order to exempt Chun Yuyan from questioning. However, if Chun Yuyan was not tortured, naturally the secret of Huo Guang's wife would not be exposed. "
Ying Zheng, Meng Tian, Meng Yi and others just listened and had no intention of speaking. Li Nianji Continued: "After Queen Xu passed away, just as Huo Guang's wife thought, her daughter Huo Chengjun successfully became the queen. At this time, Huo Guang's wife probably thought that as long as Huo Chengjun could successfully give birth to an heir for Liu Xun, the Huo family and she would be able to Sit back and relax, even if something happens, Liu Xun won't do anything to her."
"It's a pity. Things didn't work out as she wished. Two years later, Huo Guang passed away and the Huo family's biggest supporter fell. However, Huo Guang's wife still didn't know how to restrain herself. She was so angry that she vomited blood because Liu Xun made Queen Xu's son the prince. She even said, "This is the time among the people." The son, An Deli? Then he has a son, but he is Wang Xie!" So he asked Huo Chengjun to poison the prince."
Meng Tian commented: "Huo Guang is capable, but he has such a stupid wife. She is stupid and doesn't know it. Disaster is not far away."
Li Nian nodded and said: "There is a saying in later generations: 'Marry a virtuous wife. , unworthy will destroy three generations', Huo Guang's wife fully demonstrates the true meaning of this sentence, but this is also Huo Guang's own choice."
"With regard to the death of Empress Xu, Emperor Xuan Liu Xun must have made some guesses in his mind. In addition, Huo Guang ordered that Chunyu Yan be exempted from questioning. Liu Xun would be doubly suspicious. However, Huo Guang was powerful at the time, and Liu Xun could not bear to say anything. Instead, he made Huo Chengjun his queen and favored Huo Chengjun exclusively."
"Only after Huo Guang's death did Liu Xun make him and his wife. The son of Empress Xu was the prince. The purpose of establishing the heir apparent was mainly out of missing Empress Xu and to commemorate his deceased wife. However, it does not rule out that Liu Xun wanted to use this to stimulate the Huo family and expose their flaws, and Huo Guang's wife It was revealed that he instigated Huo Chengjun to poison the prince."
"Another year later, it was revealed that Huo Guang's wife poisoned Queen Xu. At this time, Liu Xun was pressing hard on the Huo family, and the Huo family wanted to rebel and be killed by Liu Xun. Huo Chengjun was not killed, but he committed suicide twelve years later after being deposed by Liu Xun."
< br>"Although Emperor Xuan destroyed the Huo family, he still allowed Huo Guang to be buried with Emperor Wu in Maoling, and ranked Huo Guang first among the meritorious officials in Qilin Pavilion. Huo Guang was a powerful official throughout his life, but he was not a traitor. If If he had not stabilized the Han Dynasty after the death of Emperor Wu, the Han Dynasty would have rebelled and wars were everywhere. "
The Han Dynasty after the death of Emperor Wu was not so good. There was a young emperor succeeding him, the people's livelihood was in ruins, and refugees were everywhere. , the controlled Western Region and other places were threatening to rebel. The situation could be described as critical, but it was managed to be stabilized under Huo Guang's operation.
"After solving the Huo family, Liu Xun no longer had any constraints, and began to govern the Han Dynasty with his ideas. Liu Xun's governance was 'mixed with the way of overlord'. Under his governance, the Han Dynasty entered another powerful era after Emperor Wu. Later generations often It is believed that it was during the reign of Emperor Xuan , the national power of the Western Han Dynasty reached its peak!"
"With clear politics and prosperous economy at home, the foreigners conquered the outside world, and the Western Regions Protectorate was set up to govern the countries in the Western Regions, and the Western Regions were officially transformed into the land of China. great influence on future generations "
"The troubles of the Xiongnu were also greatly alleviated during the reign of Emperor Xuan. Due to the civil strife of the Xiongnu, the Xiongnu Hu Hanxie surrendered to the Han Dynasty. The Han Dynasty did reach its peak at this time and its territory was its widest. Wherever you look, everything is Han All the lands he has passed are subject to the Han state!"
This man seems to be more powerful than his great-grandfather, Emperor Wu. His great-grandfather did not let the Han Dynasty reach this level, but it cannot be compared like this. Emperor Wu said The situation he faced was different from that of Emperor Xuan. Like the Xiongnu, the Xiongnu that Emperor Wu faced were still in their period of strength. It was he who sent troops to conquer several times to bring down the Xiongnu from strength. Only then did the strength of the Xiongnu decline during the reign of Emperor Xuan, and some things were first created by Emperor Wu. Emperor Xuan Just use it later.
After hearing this, Ying Zheng only thought about when Da Qin would reach this point. If he wanted to see it in his lifetime, he could only place his hope on Li Nian, otherwise it would take several lifetimes to achieve it.
The First Emperor suddenly glanced at him, and Li Nian didn't notice. He was still saying: "The posthumous title of Emperor Xuan is 'Emperor Xiaoxuan', so the prosperous age he created is also called the 'Reign of Xiaoxuan'." The rule of Xiaoxuan'. By the way, Emperor Wu's temple. The title was actually given by Emperor Xuan. "
"Although Emperor Xuan achieved extraordinary achievements, he had both merits and demerits like his great-grandfather Emperor Wu. The Western Han Dynasty reached its peak in his hands, but its peak meant that it would be over. Prosperity turns to decline.”< br>
"Later generations believed that Emperor Xuan's fault was that he was superstitious about ghosts and gods. In his later period, he lived extravagantly and enjoyed himself. He refused to correct his faults and reused eunuchs and relatives, which made them a scourge for the Han Dynasty. Although Emperor Xuan had such faults, they were far less than Emperor Wu. caused by "The disaster of witchcraft."
"I believe that Emperor Xuan's biggest fault was that he knew that the prince he appointed was wrong, but he still insisted on having his own way, allowing the prince to remain the crown prince and eventually succeed him after his death. ”
"Prince Xuan was the son of him and Empress Xu. Because of Empress Xu, even though he knew that the prince was frail, sick, indecisive, and fond of Confucianism, which was very different from him, he still refused to depose him. Emperor Xuan himself He once said, "The prince is the one who messes with my family." This was done knowingly and intentionally. "
"After Emperor Xuan's death, Prince Liu Shi succeeded to the throne. Emperor Xuan's words came true, and he gave up his territory externally and focused on internal politics. Chaos and corruption prompted a large number of Confucian scholars to participate in politics, and the Han Dynasty began to decline. Several generations later, the Han Dynasty was usurped by his relative Wang Mang, and the Western Han Dynasty finally perished. When they reached the end, Ying Zheng, Meng Tian and Meng Yi also sighed in their hearts. The Western Han Dynasty was so powerful and powerful that it conquered all the barbarians. Even the envoys they sent could make other countries fearful, but they still could not escape destruction. .
The sun sets over the long river and the desert is vast. The great sun that belonged to the Western Han Dynasty finally sank into the desert of history.
"The seven consecutive Mingjuns of the Han Dynasty that were considered by later generations also ended with Emperor Xuan. After that, the Han Dynasty became old. Even if they were not usurped by Wang Mang, they would be destroyed due to other problems. By the way, Wang Mang There is another story about the usurper and His Majesty.”
This is my business, isn't it another case of "the four emperors couldn't get a prince together" or "the old incident of Fusu"?
Feeling the gaze of the First Emperor, Li Niandao said: "It is said that when Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty, he wanted to get the imperial seal, which was hidden in the possession of the Empress Dowager of the Han Dynasty at that time. Wang Mang sent his cousin Wang Shun to ask for it. The Empress Dowager knew What did Wang Mang want to do with the jade seal? He threw the jade seal to the ground and broke a corner. Wang Mang ordered the craftsmen to inlay it with gold. Therefore, the jade seal of the state was also called "gold inlaid with jade" in the future. "
It turned out to be such a connection. Unfortunately, due to the appearance of Li Nian, the jade seal of the state that was originally supposed to be there was abandoned by the First Emperor. It can indeed show the noble status of the emperor, but it can also bring disaster. Li Nian has seen the piece of jade that was supposed to be used to carve the jade seal.
"As for the Eastern Han Dynasty, it was another period of history after Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty. Another great honor of the generals, 'Le Shi Yanran', came from the Eastern Han Dynasty."
Although I really want to know what the Eastern Han Dynasty is. What a scene, but Ying Zheng also knew how to exercise restraint and said: "That's it for today, let's talk about it next time!"
Li Nian was confident and accepted the order: "I obey the order!"
