The Huo Guang Dynasty

Huo Guang is Huo Qubing's half-brother. Although his father never fulfilled his responsibilities to Huo Qubing, Huo Qubing still bought him good land and a beautiful house so that he could spend his old age peacefully. Later, he brought his younger brother Huo Guang into the court and carefully trained him so that he could become an excellent politician in the future. With such a brother, Huo Guang certainly needed to work harder. Later, he became the auxiliary minister, and he devoted himself to the monarch of the country and listed many good political regulations. However, politics is complicated, and power will always change a person. Even the most kind-hearted person cannot be alone in the whirlpool of power. Because of this, he offended the interests of many people, and he fought many people down. Of course, Huo Guang was not a saint, and he also cultivated forces. He also had some shortcomings. Because of this, no matter how great his achievements were, he could not be immune. After his death, the Huo family was brutally liquidated. It makes sense, after all, no one wants a dictatorial minister.

This book is very interesting! Huo Guang was really a very powerful person. He assisted Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty when he was so young and managed the country very well. However, he also had his own limitations, which eventually got him into trouble. I think his story is like my uncle, he works very hard, but sometimes he makes mistakes for some things. Huo Guang's lessons of success and failure really inspired me a lot. We all have to learn from other people's experiences so that we can become smarter!

Some of the statements are quite novel and need to be verified. For example, Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty was promoted through the operation of the Wei Prince Party (a group of scholar-bureaucrats?). The following is a brief textual research: In the second year of Houyuan (87 BC), Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Liu Bing was not yet five years old. The aspirants said that Chang'an Prison had the spirit of the emperor, and Bing Ji adopted and protected Liu Bingji (Huo Guangchao appointed Dr. Guanglu as the official). In the second year of Emperor Wu's reign, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty issued an edict to adopt Liu Bing in Yeting. Later, Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty ordered Liu Bing to belong to Zongzheng (Yeting ordered Zhang He, the son of Zhang Tang, and his younger brother Zhang Anshi to worship the right general and Guang Luxun in Huo Guang Dynasty) (During this period, Zhang He wanted to marry his daughter to Liu Bing, but Zhang Anshi rejected him). In the fifth year of Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty (82 BC), Zhang Yannian pretended to be the crown prince of Wei, Liu Ju, and was later executed. (Some people say it was Huo Guang who did it.) In the third year of Emperor Zhao Yuanfeng (78 BC), the big stone at the southern foot of Mount Tai stood up on its own, the dead trees in Changyi were revived, and the dead willows in Shanglin Garden were reborn to form the words "Gongsun Bing has been established". The then Fujie ordered Suihong to write a letter that Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty should abdicate and was executed. (The latter son was recruited as a Langguan by Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty) In the first year of Yuanping of Emperor Zhao (74 BC), Emperor Zhao died and the king of Changyi was established. Huo Guang and Zhang Anshi were shocked, and they deposed the king of Changyi (Xiahou was a doctor and Guanglu doctor when he was victorious, and later he was a doctor of admonishment). … If this is true, it means that the Crown Prince Party had predicted in advance that Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty would die young and have no children. Then they were either good at fortune telling, or the death of Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty was closely related to them. Judging from the author's Spring and Autumn writing style, it means that they can tell fortunes. It is worth mentioning that Huo Guang's brother Huo Qubing was a princeling, or the Huo family was born a princeling (Prince Ruo was born to Wei Zifu).

Pretty good, worth a look
