"The emperor saw through their conspiracy and ignored it. He comforted Huo Guang and ordered an investigation into the origin of the petitioner."

"When their plan failed, these people hatched another plan. They planned to entertain Huo Guang to a banquet, planned to ambush and kill him, depose the emperor, and make King Yan the emperor."

"However, the matter was exposed, and Huo Guang killed them and their gang members in one fell swoop, shocking both the government and the public."

"After that, Huo Guang took over the power and assisted Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty with all his heart."

"Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty died in 74 BC. Since he left no heirs, Huo Guang welcomed Liu He, King of Changyi, as the new emperor."

"But the new emperor Liu He is promiscuous and immoral, and is obviously not a wise king."

"The great Sima Huo Guang had no choice but to depose Liu He and make Liu Xun the emperor instead."

"After Liu Xun succeeded to the throne, Huo Guang's power grew stronger and stronger."

"On the surface Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty Liu Xun respected Huo Guang very much, but in fact he was always afraid of him and thought he had too much power."

"Huo Guang experienced three generations of emperors in his life. He never had any intention of rebellion. Instead, he tried his best to assist the emperor and contribute his strength to the Western Han Dynasty. From this perspective, isn't Huo Guang a loyal minister?"

"Huo Guang continued the policy of rest and recuperation internally, granted amnesty to the world, and lived with the people, while he restored peace and harmony externally."

"Huo Guang's lifetime and the subsequent reign of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty were called the "Zhaoxuan Zhongxing" by history."

"After Huo Guang passed away, Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty and Queen Shangguan personally attended the funeral and was buried with imperial rites. He was given the posthumous title of "Xuan Cheng"."

"Whether this is just a joke or not, the calm before the storm is enough to give you face!"

"Huo Guang fulfilled the instructions of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty with practical actions and preserved the throne of Emperor Zhao Liu Fuling of the Han Dynasty. Therefore, Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty trusted Huo Guang very much and entrusted him with important tasks, and Huo Guang also monopolized the power. This is a loyal and good man no matter what. .”

"No one would have thought that this man who had spent his whole life serving as a soldier for the Han Dynasty would have thought that after Huo Guang's death, the Huo family would be wiped out."

Huo Guang: Was the family exterminated? how come?

Zhao Kuangyin: Your family has too much power.

Huo Qubing: One fights on the battlefield, and the other protects the young emperor. I never thought that my Huo family would end up like this?

Liu Che: Which emperor did this good thing? How can I entrust the young emperor to Huo Guang now? The young emperor never thought about taking that position, why can't he treat the Huo family well!

Queen Xu: You can’t just blame Liu Xun, Huo Guang’s family is also at fault.

"It really should be a two-party issue."

"Huo Guang, a powerful official in the Western Han Dynasty, had two wives in his life."

"The first wife of the great Sima Huo Guang was the Donglu family. After the death of the Donglu family, Huo Guang married the maid Huo Xian as his step-wife."

"Huo Guang's two wives both had a certain influence on him, especially his step-wife Huo Xian. She was the main reason why the Huo family was exterminated."

"Huo Guang's first wife was Donglu. There are very few records about her in the history books. We only know that Donglu gave birth to a daughter."

"This daughter married Shangguan An when she grew up."

"There are only a few records about the Donglu family in the history books, and there is no mention of her subsequent life. Perhaps the Donglu family died of illness in the end."

"Huo Guang's step-wife is Huo Xian. She is a very scheming woman, mainly about this one."

"Huo Xian was originally just a maid of the Donglu family, Huo Guang's first wife."    "Huo Xian's surname is not Huo. He should have taken her husband's surname after marriage."

"You can think about it. At that time, Huo Guang had already reached the rank of Grand Sima. He was truly inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people."

"Huo Guang didn't want a legitimate daughter from a famous family at that time, but he chose to marry Huo Xian, who was just a maid before, as his step-wife. One can imagine Huo Xian's methods and scheming."

"After Huo Xian became Huo Guang's wife, she gave birth to Huo Guang's eldest son Huo Yu, second son Huo Shan and youngest daughter Huo Chengjun."

"Huo Xian doted on his youngest daughter Huo Chengjun very much. She believed that only the then emperor Liu Xun, Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty, was worthy of her daughter."

"However, Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty already had a queen, Xu Pingjun."

"So, Huo Xian bribed the imperial doctor and murdered Queen Xu when she was giving birth."

"In this way, Huo Xian's youngest daughter Huo Chengjun became the new queen."

"After Huo Guang's death, Huo Xian united with many Huo family members to plot rebellion."

"But unfortunately, their rebellion plan was informed to Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty. Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty was furious and exterminated the Huo family."

"Huo Guang went from a small official to a senior official. In addition to the emperor's trust in him at that time, his personal abilities were also very outstanding."

"Huo Guang holds a high position and has a huge family fortune. As the eldest son and heir, Huo Yu is valued by Huo Guang."

"In order for his son Huo Yu to have a good future, Huo Guang hired famous teachers to teach him knowledge when he was young, and when he grew up, he let him join the court as an official."

"Huo Yu served as the Zhonglang General during the reign of Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty. After Huo Guang's death, in order to appease the Huo family, Huo Yu took up the post of Right General."

"As time went by, Huo Yu eventually inherited Huo Guang's official position and became the Great Sima during the reign of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty."

"But the good times did not last long. Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty was afraid that the Huo family would have too much power, so he deposed Huo Yu bit by bit."

"His mother Huo Xian was very dissatisfied with Emperor Xuan's actions, so she united with the Huo clan to rebel."

"Unfortunately, the news of the rebellion was known to Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty. Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty was furious and executed the entire Huo family."

"Huo Guang's second son Huo Shan was adopted by his half-brother Huo Qubing."

"Huo Qubing made countless contributions throughout his life, but he had no heirs until his death."

"Huo Guang couldn't bear that no one would die after his brother's death, so he adopted his second son Huo Shan to Huo Qubing and asked Huo Shan to die for Huo Qubing."

"Before Huo Guang died, he wrote to the emperor, requesting that 3,000 households in his fief be left to Huo Shan so that he could inherit his brother's legacy."

"It's a pity that no one expected that after Huo Guang's death, the Huo family would be destroyed."

"Mainly because of Huo Xian's rebellion, but on the other hand, when Huo Yu was demoted, the Huo family's fate would not be good. At that time, they should have retired and returned to their hometown. This can also be seen. This The Huo family’s mistress likes power very much.”

Bao Zheng: Huo Guang is not a traitor, but he is definitely among the top five powerful officials in history.

Queen Ma: It’s your own fault. If you can kill the current queen, you will know what shameless people the Huo family was at that time!

Zhu Yuanzhang: Huo Guang’s disaster was that his family’s education was not strict, which led to the family’s political chaos. From his daughter who had no bottom line to his arrogant and domineering wife, everything was a typical family corruption. It must be said that chaos caused by people led to national disaster. This was Huo Guang's major failure in managing the country and maintaining political power!
