Chapter 19 The Huo family's power is in full swing

The reason why Ms. Huo Xian "vomited blood" or even "not eating" was because she considered the issue of future succession to the throne.She gritted her teeth and said, "That boy Liu Xi was born to Mr. Xu Ping, who was born in Weijian. What qualifications do he have to be the crown prince? My daughter will give birth to a son in the future. Is it possible that he will only be a prince instead and live in a foreign domain?" Naturally, it is not as good as being a prince. Be emperor.The grandson is the emperor, and the grandmother is high and can control the whole country.If the grandson is only a prince, and the emperor is the son of Xu Pingjun who was poisoned to death by the Huo family, then the situation will be bad.Once a prince finds out that his mother was poisoned to death, there may be nothing he can do.Once an emperor finds out that his own mother was poisoned to death, if he gets to the bottom of it, catastrophe will happen.Thinking of this possibility, Ms. Huo Xian couldn't help but feel horrified, she simply didn't do it, and kept going. In order to get rid of the root cause, she asked her daughter to poison Liu Shi to death.The year Liu Shi was established as the crown prince was the second year after Mr. Huo Guang's death, that is, in 67 BC, when he was only eight years old.Poisoning an eight-year-old doll to death would have been easy.However, two things prevented this murder case from being successful: First, Ms. Huo Chengjun was only twenty years old that year, not yet mature enough to be a killer.One is that Liu Shi’s nanny is loyal and meticulous in protecting her baby—on the one hand, he warns Liu Shi not to eat anyone’s food; Food must be eaten, so the nanny will eat it first to test whether it is poisonous.As a result, Mrs. Huo Cheng made several attempts, but all of them failed.But once a plot is set in motion, even a slight one, it leaks out.Finally, it reached the ears of his father, Mr. Liu Xun. Mr. Liu Xun observed his words and demeanor, and he also saw that Ms. Huo Chengjun treated Liu Shi like a lady (this is because Ms. Huo Chengjun is too young and too tender. The anger in the heart, on the surface is a little warmer, so there will be no traces).Mr. Liu Xun began to become suspicious, so he recalled the sudden death of his ex-wife Ms. Xu Pingjun, and kept hearing rumors inside and outside the palace. He was almost sure that there must be a terrible inside story.Although he did not dare to openly oppose the Huo family, he was determined to take action.Now, we report the power position of the Huo family in the central government of the Western Han Dynasty after the death of Mr. Huo Guang in the 1930s BC:

Ms. Huo Chengjun, the youngest daughter of Mr. Huo Guang, the queen. The granddaughter of Mrs. Huo Guang, Ms. Shangguan, the Empress Dowager. Mr. Huo Yu, the eldest son of Mr. Huo Guang, granted the title of Marquis of Boling, Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the National Armed Forces (general on the right). Mr. Huo Shan's nephew and grand-nephew of Mr. Huo Guang, Feng Lepinghou, the confidential secretary-general of the palace (shoufeng Che Duwei Lingshang Shushi). Mr. Huo Yun, grandnephew of Mr. Huo Guang, Feng Guanyanghou, deputy commander of the capital garrison (General Zhonglang).

The elder and son-in-law of Mr. Deng Guanghan and Mr. Huo Guang, Commander of Changle Palace Defense (Changle Weiwei) The second son-in-law of Mr. Ren Sheng and Mr. Huo Guang, the commander of the capital garrison (all officials Zhonglang Jiang Yubayashi). The third son-in-law of Mr. Zhao Ping and Mr. Huo Guang, the commander of the training of the armed forces (Sanqi regular servant general Tuenbing). The fourth son-in-law of Mr. Fan Mingyou and Mr. Huo Guang, Feng Pingling Hou, commander of the Northern Military Region and Weiyang Palace Defense Commander (Du Liao General Weiyang Weiwei).

The niece and son-in-law of Mr. Zhang Shuo and Mr. Huo Guang, the Confidential Secretary of the Palace (for Doctor Guanglu). The grandson-in-law of Mr. Wang Han and Mr. Huo Guang, Deputy Commander of the Capital Garrison (General Zhonglang). The above-mentioned people are all listed in the history books, and there are tens of thousands of others who are not listed.But just from these listed figures, it can be seen that the strength of the Huo family has penetrated into every important corner of the government.In particular: First, they have mastered the military power, from the field army to the garrison, and they are deeply rooted.Second, they have mastered the "Lingshang Shushi".This is a key role. For any memorial submitted to the emperor, a copy must be sent to the "Lingshang Shushi" first. If it is considered acceptable, the original copy will be shown to the emperor. If it is considered not acceptable, the original copy will be returned or detain.The emperor seemed to be blind. He could only see what he was taught by the "Lingshang Shushi" and only knew what he knew.The Huo family has mastered military power and secrets, and no one in the world can shake them.Twenty years of long-term wealth and power have completely corrupted the Huo family.First of all, the old woman, Ms. Huo Xian, soon fell in love with her slave, Mr. Feng Zidu, and Mr. Feng Zidu's authority was immediately shaken.The old lady and her lotus sons built more homes—elevator buildings in the urban area and garden villas in the suburbs.The only pity is that there were no helicopters and cars for them to show off at that time, but their carriages were even inferior to the royal carriage of the Queen of England.The carriages used by the Huo family are all decorated with gold, and the wheels are wrapped with silk cotton, sitting on them without bumping.
