Features: When Emperor Wu was on his deathbed, he appointed Sang Hongyang as the Minister of Justice and also concurrently held the position of Minister of Agriculture. This indicates that Emperor Wu trusted Sang Hongyang completely until the very end. It can be said that this was both an affirmation of Sang Hongyang's past financial measures by Emperor Wu and a heavy entrustment and expectation for him to assist the young heir in the future. As for Sang Hongyang himself, he also had no intention of cooperating with figures like Huo Guang to fulfill Emperor Wu's last wishes. However, history often plays tricks on people.
