There are many high-ranking ministers in history. Some of these people like power and are uncrowned kings, while others are bent on replacing them.
Who were the dignitaries of the absolute monarch in ancient times? What is their ending?
Western Han Huo Guang
Huo Guang is Huo Qubing's half-brother, and we all know Huo Qubing's famous warrior against Xiongnu. It can be said that with the help of Huo Qubing, Huo Guang stepped onto the road of official career. He worked hard for Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty for twenty years, so he gained the trust of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
Before the death of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Huo Guang was a minister entrusted to orphans, so he was able to monopolize power. After the death of Emperor Zhao of Han Dynasty, Emperor Gaozu Chang-ik Son and Wang Liuhe came to the throne, but he was soon abolished on the grounds that fornication was immoral.
This shows how powerful it is. Huo Guang's fate is actually a happy ending, but his family was hacked to death.
Zhang and Wei Zhongxian in Ming Dynasty
Zhang is the cabinet record. In the past ten years, almost all military and political events were in charge of Zhang. He also carried out the "Wanli New Deal" and died in June of the tenth year of Wanli (1582) at the age of 58.
Wei Zhongxian, a eunuch in the Xi period of the Ming Dynasty, was very popular and was called "9900 years old". He ruled out dissidents, arbitrarily ruled state affairs, and suppressed the Lindong Party, so that people "only knew loyalty and righteousness, but didn't know there was an emperor".
Dourgen and Ao Bai in Qing Dynasty
Nurhachi's son, Dourgen, went out with Huang Taiji very early and made great contributions. In the process of competing for the throne with Huang Taiji's eldest son Haug, Fu Lin got the support of compromise. King was the regent of his uncle, and he was very powerful at that time. Once again, he fell off his horse while hunting and was injured, and finally died at the age of 39.
Ao Bai is the nephew of Fei Yingdong, and Fei Yingdong is the founding father of the late Jin Dynasty and the third son of Wei Qi, the Eight Magistrates. Fighting with Huang taiji on all sides is a great achievement. When Kangxi ascended the throne, Ao Bai was one of the ministers in charge of life, holding power and cronyism. In the eighth year of Kangxi, Kangxi arrested Ao Bai and spared his life for his contribution, but he was also imprisoned forever.
