The short videos I watched from all dynasties

Li Ranran continued to scroll through the videos, and after scrolling through many, none of them were to his liking. Until he saw a video title:

[He is a loyal minister and a powerful minister]

(“In the past, Yi Yin and Huo Guang were responsible for deposing and enthroning the emperor, and both became famous prime ministers and outstanding people of their time.”)

[He was the half-brother of Guanjun Hou Huo Qubing, the minister entrusted by Emperor Wu of Han, Liu Che, the Grand Marshal, the Grand General, the Marquis of Bolu, and the leader of the eleven meritorious officials of the Qilin Pavilion, Huo Guang.]

Huo Guang was a cautious person who was careful and prudent in everything he did. He was trusted by Emperor Wu and accompanied him for more than 20 years.

(“Only 27 days after King Changyi ascended the throne, he committed more than 3,000 evil deeds, so Huo Guang reported it to the Imperial Ancestral Temple and deposed him.”)

After Emperor Zhao of Han died, he abolished the King of Changyi and supported Emperor Xuan of Han. During his reign, he rested with the people and promoted the revival of the Zhao and Xuan dynasties. He was loyal to the Han Dynasty and lived up to the trust of Emperor Wu. He was buried in Maoling Mausoleum and ranked first among the eleven meritorious officials in the Qilin Pavilion.

However, his wife Huo Xian poisoned Empress Xu to death, and after her death, her relatives rebelled, and the entire Huo family was destroyed. 】

＜The Huo brothers, one is a scholar and the other is a warrior, both have achieved the pinnacle in their respective fields. The Huo family is really proud of their ancestors’ graves [thumbs-up]＞

＜I think Huo Zhongru must kowtow to Emperor Wu, who trained a top military general and later trained a regent＞

＜Dong Zhuo is not worthy of being compared with Huo Guang＞

＜Alas, I used to listen to Yi Yin - a wise minister, but now I listen to him and Huo Guang together - a powerful minister＞

＜The mess in the later period of Emperor Wu of Han was caused by Huo Guang and Emperor Xuan of Han, otherwise the Han Dynasty would have been finished after Emperor Wu's death＞

<A secret note: if Sima Qian were still alive, he would definitely write a "Biography of Huo Guang" [eating melon]>

＜Huo Guang himself did not rebel, but all the rebels who came after him used him as a template, and all did the same thing as Huo Guang, hahaha＞

＜Representative of the term "powerful minister": Zhuge Liang

Neutral representative of powerful officials: Huo Guang

The representative of the powerful and progressive officials: Yang Jian

Derogatory representative of powerful officials: Sima Yi＞

＜At least Huo Guang stabilized the political situation. Look at how many people did what Huo Guang did from the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty to the Eastern Jin Dynasty. In the end, they were not even as good as Huo Guang＞

＜If there had not been a moral ceiling for powerful officials in later generations, the spotless Zhuge Liang, Huo Guang might have been more popular＞

＜I feel that Huo Guang was only loyal to Emperor Wu of Han Liu Che [question]＞

＜Whether Liu He was stupid or not is not important, the key point is that he was very impatient and did not learn the tactics that Emperor Wen of Han used when he first entered Chang'an [laughing and crying]＞

＜According to other users, Huo Guang started planning after he became a minister entrusted with the care of the orphan, hoping to help Liu Bingyi, who was of Wei family blood, to ascend to the throne. Liu Fuling had no son, so after his death, he chose Liu He, the King of Changyi, who was a relative of the Li family and had once fought against the Wei family. After Liu He was deposed, Liu Bingyi, the grandson of Liu Ju, was enthroned＞

Huo Guang's life experience tells us what the consequences are for not managing the family properly and marrying an unvirtuous wife.

＜Huo Guang was criticized because he controlled the government and refused to give up power. Then his wife poisoned the queen and wanted to make his daughter the queen. When Huo Guang found out, he saved his wife...＞

＜Know My Spring and Autumn Annals, Blame My Spring and Autumn Annals＞

......

This is Huo Qubing's younger brother. Li Ranran's impression of Huo Guang is still stuck in the idol dramas he watched before, in which he was the villain...

Wei Zifu’s dowry was really amazing!

Han Dynasty, the fourth year of Yuanshou

"Oh, your brother?" Liu Che still remembered that Huo Qubing brought a young boy back to Chang'an last year.

"You should bring him into the palace so I can see him."

"Yes, I obey your order." Huo Qubing's mood was quite complicated. He should be happy that his brother was promising and would be granted a title of nobility in the future, but what did the video say? It said that his brother would be a powerful official in the future. He knew what a powerful official looked like after watching the video. And Guangmu even joked that he asked Sima Qian to write the "Book of Records" for Huo Guang, which was a biography of emperors of all dynasties.

Oh my God, what should I do?

Does Huo Qubing want to apologize first?

"Your Majesty, I..."

Liu Che quickly waved his hand, signaling Huo Qubing to get up. "It's nothing, your brother is very talented, you should be happy."

"I made the right choice in choosing an important minister to entrust my son to."

Looking at the words praising Huo Guang on the screen, Liu Che couldn't help but think about how cruel he was in his later years. If Huo Guang hadn't been there, the Han Dynasty would have perished?

Still a loyal subject after all.

Wei Qing reminded Huo Qubing, "You should discipline your brother more often. You should teach him the consequences of not managing the household properly and marrying an unvirtuous wife."

After saying this, Wei Qing regretted it again. Why did he tell him all this? Huo Qubing hadn't married yet.

"Forget it, you two brothers just need to support each other."

......

The young Huo Guang saluted Emperor Wu of Han with trembling hands, and only after he glanced at the magical expression on his brother Huo Qubing's face did he calm down.

"I should have met you last year, but unfortunately I was too busy with government affairs, so it was delayed until today." Liu Che was very satisfied with Huo Guang's performance. He was worthy of being the minister he personally selected to take care of his son.

Well, what's the harm in training another civil official to assist in the administration?

"Start with being a palace attendant. If you don't understand something..." Liu Che pointed at himself, "I'll help you."

After Huo Guang thanked the emperor with great fear and trepidation, he went home with his brother in a daze.

"Don't be stunned. Be smarter when facing His Majesty in the palace next time." Huo Qubing was a little confused. "Didn't Guangmu say that you should be cautious?"

"Your Majesty gives people a very kind feeling..."

Huo Guang's answer stunned Huo Qubing, who laughed and agreed. Then he told Huo Guang to be more careful.

Western Jin Dynasty, Taishi Year 3

"..."

The Jin Dynasty, which had not been cueed for a long time, was suddenly cueed, and Sima Yan looked up at the sky in silence.

Light curtain videos always appear at such inopportune times.

Sima Yan finally calmed down the incidents of Sima Zhao's regicide and the Five-Stone Powder, and he also did a good job in assimilating the Hu people to Han culture. Everyone was living a good life, but the light curtain reminded everyone again that the Sima family did not come to power legitimately...

Empress Yang Yan advised Sima Yan, "What happened in the past has already happened. Why do you worry about it? Look at Emperor Taizong of Tang and Emperor Taizong of Ming in later generations. One of them killed his brother and forced his father to abdicate, and the other started an army to seize the throne from his nephew. However, they are still positively evaluated in later generations."

"If your majesty had accomplished something great, and Jin had not been like it was originally in history, people in later generations would not have been so obsessed with that matter."

Sima Yan sighed, "Alas, it's not that I'm worried about the evaluation of future generations, I'm actually afraid..." He said no more and fell into deep thought.

It was because of the trouble of appointing the crown prince. The consequence of appointing Sima Zhong was the Rebellion of the Eight Kings. So who should be appointed next?

The Sima family seized the throne in the same way, so of course they were worried that someone would use the same method to seize the throne.

Sui Dynasty, 10th year of Kaihuang

Well, compared to the others, Yang Jian, who was given the title of a representative of powerful and progressive officials, accepted it.

Yang Jian was still a little proud in his heart. Look, I am the most successful powerful official in history.

Yang Yong heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that his father didn't look unhappy. He had thought that his father was going to get angry. Alas, every time he got angry, I was the one who suffered.

"Yong'er, when you employ people, you should look at their loyalty. There are many kinds of loyalty, such as the one Guangmu mentioned. You should remember them all." The Guanlong Group behind him played an indispensable role in Yang Jian's ascension to the throne.

The way of thinking when being a minister is different from the way of thinking when being a king. Yang Jian was worried that even if Yang Yong successfully ascended the throne, he would be fooled by his ministers.

Seeing Yang Yong nod, Yang Jian became angry.

My son isn’t good enough, why not try my grandson?
