Chapter 18 Fortune and misfortune depend on each other

Now that Ms. Huo Chengjun has become the queen, Ms. Huo Xian, as the mother-in-law, has more authority in the government, and her self-confidence has been enhanced. She is confident that she can get whatever she wants, and whatever she pursues, she can also get it. can be pursued. The biggest difference between Ms. Huo Chengjun and her predecessor, Ms. Xu Pingjun, is that although they are both queens, Ms. Xu Pingjun was born in a humble family, with a gentle and honest temperament, and only a few people served her maids (so when she was ill, she hired special officials from outside the palace to help her). Nurses), their clothing and daily life are also very frugal.And as the nephew and granddaughter-in-law, every five days, she has to go to Changle Palace to have an audience with the Empress Dowager, Ms. Shangguan.Ms. Shangguan is the wife of Mr. Liu Fuling, the eighth emperor.Mr. Liu Fuling's elder brother is Mr. Liu Ju who died in the Jiangchong witchcraft case. Liu Ju gave birth to Liu Jin, and Liu Jin gave birth to the tenth emperor Liu Xun (with the deposed ninth emperor Liu He among them).In terms of seniority, Mr. Liu Fuling is Mr. Liu Xun's great-uncle, and the Empress Dowager Shangguan is Mr. Liu Xun's great-uncle.Therefore, every time Ms. Xu Pingjun went to court, she served tea and meals in person, very respectful.Ms. Huo Chengjun's background is very prominent.Hey, don't say that she is the daughter of "Great General" Mr. Huo Guang who can replace the emperor, don't say that she is Megatron Chaogang. Readers may wish to look around. Some old ladies, her father is just a minister, bureau chief, chairman, general manager, etc. It is still a hundred and eight thousand miles away from the general, but her nostrils are up to the sky, making people feel numb all over.Ms. Huo Chengjun was born in an extremely wealthy family, and she has an arrogant old lady who doesn't know the general. What she has heard and seen, it is difficult for her to be as plain as Ms. Xu Pingjun.Her left and right attendants were like a cloud. When she was in the general's mansion, she was already hugging her. After she became a queen, she was even more grand and grand. Each reward was tens of thousands.It is a sharp contrast with the approachable Ms. Xu Pingjun.But she still tried her best to imitate Ms. Xu Pingjun's practice. One of them was to go to Changle Palace to pay homage to the Empress Dowager, Ms. Shangguan, every five days.The problem is that in the kinship system of her husband's family, Ms. Shangguan is Ms. Huo Chengjun's great-uncle, but in the closer kinship system of her natal family, Ms. Huo Chengjun is Ms. Shangguan's direct aunt.This is very complicated. The eldest daughter of Mr. Huo Guang married Mr. Shangguan An, the son of Mr. Shangguan Jie. Now, Ms. Shangguan, who is the empress dowager, is the daughter of Mr. Shangguan An. Ma'am, she is the real aunt of my great-uncle, Ms. Shangguan, and she was a playmate when I was young.Readers, don’t be fooled by such old-fashioned words as “uncle and grandmother” and “empress dowager” into thinking that Ms. Shangguan is already an Abasang.In fact, when Ms. Huo Chengjun was seventeen in 70 BC, Ms. Shangguan was only nineteen.Ten years ago, in XX years BC, her grandfather, Mr. Shangguan Jie, once launched a palace coup. After the coup failed, the whole family was beheaded.At that time, Mr. Liu Fuling was still in power, and Mrs. Shangguan was sitting on the throne of the queen. She should have been deposed, because she was Mr. Huo Guang's granddaughter, and she finally saved her life, but there was only this lonely little girl left in Shangguan's family (In the first 80 years, she, the queen, was only nine years old, and she was still the age of the player's house wine), and she was all taken care of by the Huo family.

Under such complicated internal and external relations, Ms. Huo Chengjun imitated Ms. Xu Pingjun and offered tea to Ms. Shanggong. How could Ms. Shangguan afford it?Therefore, whenever Ms. Huo Chengjun went to perform filial piety, Ms. Shangguan was very nervous, and hurriedly stood up to say goodbye, exhausted. However, the relationship between Mr. Liu Xun and Ms. Huo Chengjun is very good.A young couple, like paint and glue.My old lady, Ms. Huo Xian, was delighted when she saw her eyes.As long as the daughter gives birth to a son, he will be the official crown prince.Once the son-in-law, Mr. Liu Xun, dies and his grandson ascends to the throne, the daughter will be the empress dowager, and she will be the empress dowager's mother.The emperor is above, this is all right, the glory and wealth, there is something to enjoy.This wishful thinking can be said to be too wishful thinking. Mr. Li Er said: "When misfortune comes, blessings depend on it, and when blessings come, misfortune rests on it." Small blessings and small pots are irrelevant; but great misfortunes and great blessings are often separated by a thin sheet of paper.This is especially true when engaging in politics under an unpredictable autocratic government.Mrs. Huo Guang died in the third year of Ms. Huo Chengjun's empress, in 68 BC.Speaking of the country, it is the fall of a superstar; speaking of the Huo family, it is the collapse of an iceberg.Mr. Liu Xun, always under the fiery authority of Mr. Huo Guang, began to take a breath and struggled to get up.As I said before, he initially planned to make Ms. Xu Pingjun's father, Mr. Xu Guanghan, Marquis. Mr. Huo Guang thought that he was a "survivor of punishment" and unworthy of such a high position.In the second year after Mr. Huo Guang's death (the first six or seven), Mr. Liu Xun ordered Mr. Xu Guanghan to be named Pingsihou.This has surprised the Huo family, showing that the emperor has a sense of resistance hidden in his heart.Then, Mr. Liu Xun appointed Mr. Liu Shi, the son of Ms. Xu Pingjun, as the crown prince.After Ms. Huo Xian got the news, she was described in the history books as: "You can't eat when you are angry, and vomit blood." That is to say, she was so angry that she vomited blood and refused to eat—her hunger strike was not determined to starve to death, but to show The extent of her distress is to win the sympathy of her family and the support of her murderer again.
