What happened to the Huo brothers and sisters?

Huo Guang is the younger brother of Huo Qubing, a famous Han Dynasty soldier. On his deathbed, Emperor Wudi was appointed as the Minister of Trusteeship, assisting Emperor Zhao Liu Fuling to inherit the throne.

Emperor Zhao was only eight years old when he ascended the throne. Huo Guang was loyal to the administration of state affairs and was envied by some ambitious people. Another trusted official, Shangguan Jie, wanted to marry his six-year-old granddaughter to Emperor Zhao and make her queen, laying the foundation for his usurpation of power in the future. Huo Guang saw through his intentions and expressed firm opposition, saying, "Your granddaughter is only six years old, so it is not appropriate to send her to the palace now."

Shangguan Jie and others subsequently set up many plots to frame Huo Guang, but they failed. Huo Guang continued to assist Emperor Zhao in power and became an important figure in the imperial court.

Emperor Zhao died at the age of twenty-one. Huo Guang first established Liu He, the king of Changyi, as the throne, and soon changed to shun lau. After that, he was still the minister of auxiliary government. For more than forty years, he held the military and political power of the imperial court and did many things for the prosperity of the Han Dynasty. Unfortunately, he did one thing wrong, which led to the death of the whole Huo family.

when Liu Xun just ascended the throne, Huo Guang's wife wanted to marry her youngest daughter to Xuan Di as the queen. However, Emperor Xuandi made Xu Fei the queen, which caused Huo Guang's wife to hate Xu Fei, so she bribed the female doctor in the palace and poisoned Xu Fei when she was ill. Xu Fei died suddenly after taking poison, and there were many discussions inside and outside the ruling and opposition parties. The poisoned female doctor was arrested and interrogated in prison. Huo Guang didn't know at first. His wife heard that the female doctor had been put into prison, and she was afraid that things would be exposed, so she told Huo Guang the inside story truthfully. Huo Guang was frightened after hearing this, and wanted to raise her hair and didn't have the heart to plead for her, so she interceded for the female doctor and covered up the case.

after Huo Guang's death, someone reported it, and Xuan Di sent someone to investigate it. When Huo Guang's wife heard the news, she knew that her life was in danger, so she gathered Huo's brothers and sisters and planned to rebel against the imperial court. Unexpectedly, the plot was soon exposed, and Xuan Di sent an order to kill thousands of people in the Huo family.

Huo Guang, as an assistant minister, made outstanding achievements all his life, but his family ended up like this.
