Soon after Emperor Xuan of Han was born, he encountered the scourge of witchcraft, and because he was the grandson of Liu Zhao, the Prince of Wei, although he was still in infancy, he was also imprisoned. Seeing that Liu was sick and pitiful, Ting Wei's supervisor Feng Ji moved his heart of compassion and let the female prisoners feed him to grow up in the prison.
Historical records record that "although the great-grandson was swaddled, he sat in the county jail. And Feng Ji was the overseer of the court, curing the witches in the county residence, pitiing the death of his great-grandson, and making the female disciples revert to Huaiyang Zhao Zhengqing and Weicheng Hu Group to be more nursing, privately giving food and clothing, and seeing that there was great grace. ”
In 87 BC, Liu Yi had already encountered amnesty, so he was released from prison and raised by his grandmother Shi Jia. At that time, Huo Guang was in charge of the Han Dynasty, and after Liu He, the king of Changyi, was deposed, Liu Yi had become a candidate and was placed in the palace, that is, the emperor's throne. Although Liu Yi was already a royal relative, his childhood was very unfortunate, which also allowed Liu Yi to see the hardships of the people and the hardships of the people, which was of great help to his administrative program.
From Liu Yi's life, it can be seen that there is basically no background, at the beginning of the reign, Liu Yi was only a puppet, and it was Huo Guang who really held the power of the imperial court. So how did Liu Yi control the regime step by step, and how did he eradicate the Huo Guang family's power?
First, you are crazy and you are crazy, I put up with it
Unlike Liu He, the king of Changyi, Liu Yi had already seen the situation very clearly, as long as it was the work done by the great general Huo Guangrang, it was directly passed, as long as it was huo Guangrang's promotion, he immediately confessed his fate, Huo Guang was very happy, and Liu Guang's throne had to be slowly stabilized. Huo Guang had wanted to return the government to Emperor Liu Yiji, but Liu Yi had always refused and still let Huo Guang take charge.
Historical records record that "on the determination of the strategy, the Yifeng general Guangwan, the cheqi general Guanglu Xun Fuping Hou Anshi ten thousand households." ”
Every time Huo Guang ascended to the court, Liu Yi had already shown great modesty, and that sincere attitude also made Huo Guang feel pleased. Not only that, during Huo Guang's serious illness, Liu Yi had personally visited Huo Guang's mansion and shed a lot of tears for him. Huo Guang was huo Guang's younger brother, with outstanding ability and extremely deep city government, and it was precisely because of Huo Guang's existence that the Han Dynasty survived the power vacuum period peacefully.
Huo Guang was loyal, but greedy, and the Huo family controlled almost all the key departments of the imperial court, and all sons and sons-in-law were in high positions. Although Huo Guang is powerful, he can't fight the whole world, since your Huo family will occupy all important positions, then naturally it will offend many people, which is also one of the reasons for the fall of Huo Shi later.
Before Huo Guang's death, he also pleaded with Liu Yi to make Huo Shan a marquis, and Liu Yi was already very generous and did it on the same day. Huo Guang's power was monstrous, Liu Guang's illness could not move, and in order to take control of the regime from scratch, Liu Guang had chosen the most stupid method, that is, to wait for Huo Guang's death.
Liu Was already very young after all, but Huo Guang was not, as long as Huo Guang died and the huo family's top beams and pillars fell, it would be much easier to clean up these imperial court moths.
Before Liu Yi became emperor, Zhang He had married him a wife named Xu Pingjun, which was Liu Yi's original wife, the so-called one-day husband and wife, and the relationship between the husband and wife after marriage was also surprisingly good.
After Liu Yi had taken the throne, Xu Pingjun also entered the palace, followed by the canonization of the empress. Originally, there was actually nothing to do with Xu Pingjun, but her position hindered the Huo family. The position of empress is also the object of contention of the Huo family, and in order to ensure the family's wealth for generations, xu Pingjun must be deposed and the daughter of the Huo clan must be made empress.
Historical records record that "Xianqian also made the female attendant, Chun Yu, after killing the common mourner in the medicine, plotted to poison the prince and wanted to endanger the Temple." ”
Huo Guang did not have such a thought, but Huo Guang's wife Huo Xian was acting in secret. Huo Xian bribed the medical officer Chun Yuyan and asked her to poison Empress Xu, who was poisoned to death. Liu Yi was also sad to learn of this matter, he knew that he had been killed by someone, but he could not do anything.
Although Huo Guang was a little frightened, he still instructed his subordinates to turn Empress Xu's death into a small matter. Liu Yi was no longer confused, and the only one who had the strength to assassinate the empress in the imperial court was the Huo family, which Liu Yi could already guess. It was not until after Huo Guang's death that Liu Yi showed his sharp teeth and burned the flame of revenge to the entire Huo clan.
Second, while you are dead, you want the life of the entire Huo clan
Although Huo Guang was a master of power and strategists, few people could take three steps in front of his eyes, but there were no outstanding talents among the Huo family's children, and as soon as Huo Guang left, the Huo family's children were in disarray.
At first, Liu Yi had still given the Huo family a high-ranking official Houlu and a treasure to paralyze the other side. Then, Liu Yi had begun to promote his own cronies, such as Wei Xiang. The children of the Huo family did not have any sense of crisis, and they were still rampaging in Chang'an, unscrupulous.
Historical records record that "after the two slaves quarreled, Huo Shinu entered the Yushi Mansion and wanted to go to the Gate of the Doctor, and Yushi went to thank him for prostrating his head." ”
As soon as the Dao Chicken Dog ascended to heaven, Huo Guang's power benefited the entire Huo family, but this gang was arrogant, and even a small Huo family slave dared to bully the imperial history of the dynasty, which also made Liu Yi realize that huo clan must be eliminated quickly.
This is not that Liu's disease has been vicious, since Huo Guang's death, the Huo family has become a cancer of the Han Dynasty, and if the Han Dynasty is to continue to develop steadily, it is necessary to undergo major surgery to eliminate the Huo family's forces. At the same time as consulting with The Minister, Liu Yi had also begun to cut off the members of the Huo Family from all aspects and appoint foreign relatives to the Xu Family and the Shi Family.
Huo Xian, Huo Yu, Huo Shan, Huo Yun, and other high-ranking members of the Huo family watched their power weaken day by day, but there was nothing they could do. Huo's disciples were obviously too unruly and offended many people, and the imperial court was full of rumors, and even folk rumors spread that Empress Xu was killed by Huo.
We don't know who initiated the folk rumors, but they may also be Liu Yiji or Huo's political enemies. Huo Xian told the Huo family about the murder of Empress Xu, so the Huo family was panicked, and finally they thought of a way to do it, that is, rebellion.
The Huo family's every move was under the close supervision of Liu Yi, liu yi was already waiting for this day, he was pressing step by step, but he never did not confront head-on, what he was waiting for was to let the enemy show his horse's feet and give him a reason to destroy the Huo family in a justifiable way.
If Huo Guang is still alive, the Huo family wants to take the Place of the Liu Clan, the king is weak and the subject is strong, and Huo Guang's wrist is through the heavens, then it is very likely to succeed. However, after Huo Guang's death, these Huo family disciples became ants on the hot pot, and the plan of rebellion had not yet taken action, and Liu Yi had already taken the lead, since it was a major crime of rebellion, it was not polite.
Huo Yun and Huo Shan committed suicide one after another, Huo Xian and Huo Yu were arrested and imprisoned, Huo Yu was beheaded, all of Huo Yu's brothers were beheaded, and Huo Chengjun's empressship was deposed. The entire Huo clan was slaughtered, and thousands of families were implicated and killed. Liu Yi may not be able to fight Huo Guang, but it is more than enough to deal with this group of Huo Clan disciples.
