Chapter 1 The rivers and mountains in the barrel - Emperor Huan and Liang Ji

At the beginning of the Three Kingdoms, the prelude was that the bucket containing the country was corroded and smelly, hence the name dung bucket......

Zhuge "The Teacher's Table" said: I didn't sigh and hate Yu Huan and Lingye...... So the first character in this article appeared, Emperor Huan of Han, who is it?

Emperor Huan Liu Zhi

Born in 132 A.D., 132-146 years, childhood, the main job is to play, after the age of 15 to 167, basically to youth, the main job is to be the emperor;

My childhood work was mainly playing, and like all children in China, they were all playful, not to mention that they were born in the emperor's family, and the conditions for playing were really good, so there was nothing to say;

But what can be said about the work of being an emperor, history books and later generations of commentators say that Emperor Huan is mediocre and incompetent, and believes in eunuchs, I don't see exactly, you think about it, a 15-year-old child, what does he know, not so much the emperor, but a puppet sitting on a big throne, and when he grows up to be more sensible and pro-government, you can judge his merits and disadvantages. Therefore, Emperor Huan's work in the first 13 years was to sit on the dragon chair that had been prepared every day to accept the fake worship of the hundred officials, speak the lines that others had prepared for him as an actor, and sleep on the luxurious dragon bed and arranged women that others had decorated...... That's it, and then 8 years later, I can really really evaluate him.

Speaking of this brother's academic qualifications, I'm afraid no, because at that time it was eunuchs and relatives who manipulated the government (interested readers can look up the relevant historical materials at that time), the emperor died early and had no son, so the imperial power was infinitely weak at that time, the so-called eunuchs have been relatives of the emperor in order to control the court for a long time to achieve the purpose of obtaining benefits forever, so it is necessary to get a nominal emperor, so this Liu descendant named Liu Zhi became a lucky one, luck is misfortune, Fortunately, being a titular head of state left a mark in history, but unfortunately perhaps he may not have the freedom of the emperor, on the contrary, he has lost the joy of his childhood peers...... The country was not "governed" well and also served as a scapegoat for the "darkness of the court" in the mouths of later generations, so the so-called "Emperor Huan imprisoned the good and worshiped the eunuchs" in books such as the Romance of the Three Kingdoms......

The above slightly introduces Emperor Huan, I believe that through the analysis of the situation, I believe that the reader will give a child a pertinent evaluation.

Well, back to business, this emperor has been the emperor for a total of 21 years, and after he became the emperor at the age of 15, his career stage is roughly divided into two parts, the first 13 years, because he was still an adolescent child, young and ignorant, there was the Empress Dowager Liang (the Empress Dowager and interested readers can look through the history books to find, I will not repeat it here, simply understand, it is a figure like Cixi) to listen to the government, Liang Ji (who Xu is also, more on it later) controls the government; Therefore, with the "help" of many eunuchs and relatives, the country must have boiled public resentment, and the barrel of the empire has actually turned into poison, slowly corroding the bottom of the barrel representing the majority of the common people.

In the first year of peace, that is, in 150 AD, the minister Liang Ji was once again crowned, the so-called "want to add the crime is not to blame", also the so-called "want to add the higher the official, the better", the Chinese have a tradition, once you fall into the well, someone will go down the stone, hate to beat you to death at once, of course, the other extreme is that you sit on ten thousand, high power, then there will definitely be many people around you who want to be a chicken dog, all want to use you to ascend to heaven, for thousands of years, what is lacking is to send charcoal in the snow, and things are vaguely expensive, Therefore, more people like the realm of sending charcoal in the snow, but few people can do it, so the Liangmen court is like a city, and the traffic is busy for a while. Among these people, there is a Hongnong man named Zai Xuan, this person is the same person as Lu Qian in the Water Margin, especially good at flattery, one day he wrote a letter to the emperor, and after praising Liang Ji, he came up with an idea, saying that General Liang has the same merits as the Duke of Zhou, so not only his son should be crowned marquis, but his wife should also be named Yijun...... Look at the back door of the people to go to the back door is called Gaoming, this sycophant is called wonderful, since ancient times to go to the back door is a university question, this way is by no means hard to read the sages can be understood, nor can it be done by reading through ancient and modern Chinese and foreign countries......

So, His Majesty the Emperor issued an edict to seal Liang Ji's wife as the king of Xiangcheng, and at the same time, many benefits such as taxes, money and grain in the future will be sent to Liang's wife, and at the same time, he also has the courtesy of a princess; So from this point of view, His Majesty the Emperor is not a normal person, we return to the scene at that time, in front of the palace table, the emperor received such a secret letter, and he approved the red quasi-performance without consideration, which does not want to be an emperor who takes state affairs as the priority, but is like a rich son who pulls relatives to give gifts.

This Liang Ji's wife must be a beautiful character, this is a convention, but where Liang Ji is a role, it must be accompanied by a beauty, and it is not an ordinary beauty who can be on the throne, not only must the face be beautiful, but at least have a skill to win the favor of General Liang before entering the palace, the history books say that Liang Ji's wife is beautiful and good at making a coquettish posture, aiming at the slender and tortuous eyebrows, pretending to be a sad look, with a little powder under the eyes, deliberately making it look like he had just cried, and the bun is crooked to one side, Walking with a twisted waist, laughing deliberately like a toothache, in order to charm people; It can be seen that this Liang Ji, the woman he really likes is to think of a Lin Zhiling who pretends to cry, and he has to twist his waist and butt when he walks, I really don't know what kind of woman is described in this history book, I looked left and right, and I thought of Lin Zhiling's model, and the reader will expand his imagination according to the description in the history book.

With the emperor's reward, Liang changed the regulation of car clothing, from the original Audi to BMW, just like the rich and powerful now, a car and a brand-name clothes, are a symbol of status, the matching degree of worth, in fact, our current customs are handed down from ancient times. Hehe, the description in this history book, looking left and right, is slightly ironic, you might as well translate it for everyone: Liang Ji changed the regulations of car clothing, made flat-topped cars with curtains, tied the headscarf very low, and put on a narrow hat, folded the upper corners of the headscarf, blocked the body with a large fan, and mopped the floor with the back hem of the court clothes, like a fox's tail.

This Liang Ji is a general, but he is a tracheitis, and he is also a lying ear, Liang Ji's wife doesn't know where to control Liang Ji, which causes Liang Ji to love and fear his wife, this has to start with Liang Ji's father Liang Shang, this Liang Shang wants to please Emperor Han Shun, note that it is Emperor Han Shun, not Emperor Huan Liu Zhi, so he offered a beautiful woman named DFI to the emperor, but this DFI was not angry, and made some mistakes to let Emperor Han Shun be abolished and repatriated to her hometown, Liang Shang saw that this DFI was sent back and did not dare to keep her, and wanted to marry her, This Liang Ji has long had thoughts about Youtong, seeing that his father wants to marry such a big beauty again, so he is reluctant, on the way to get married, Liang Ji succeeded in marrying the marriage, at this time Liang Shang also died, Liang Ji kept filial piety while living with this friend beauty outside the house, this is not good to keep filial piety, and prefers to open a room with a beautiful woman, so there is a strange thing that this jealous wife Sun Shou knows, Sun Shou took a lot of people to the hotel to get this little three home, cut off her hair, broke her appearance, and beat her badly, still doesn't understand the hatred, she wants to write to the emperor, so that the dog man and woman can eat this cheating taste again, this since ancient times, the wife hates the junior, abounds. General Liang was very scared, thought of an idea, and asked his mother-in-law for help, not only kowtowing to admit his mistake, but also asking his mother-in-law to do ideological work for her daughter, so that she should not do this, so, under the persuasion of his mother-in-law, Sun Shou gave up, but this Liang Ji ghost is obsessed, with the first time there is a second time, no matter how many knives are cut on the face of Youtong, he takes a fancy to the woman who may be dedicated to the emperor, but has its own uniqueness, in short, on the surface to his wife and mother-in-law obey his words, in fact, he and Youtong have been in love for a long time, Sure enough, the chaotic man enlarged the belly of the woman, and the girl gave birth to a son, named Boyu, and found a place to raise it secretly.

This thing, if people don't know it, they can't do it unless they do, let alone in the sensitive and jealous pillow man Sun Shou. Soon Sun Shou knew about it, and he was immediately furious, the most poisonous woman's heart, Sun Shou sent his son Liang Yin to kill the junior and his family. Although Liang Ji secretly hid his illegitimate son, he was afraid that Sun Shou would kill his beloved son Boyu, so he often hid his illegitimate son in the wall.

General Liang is not only a good woman, but also a man, this person may really be a bisexual, according to records, Liang Ji likes the housekeeper Qin Palace very much, let him be an official until the Taicang Order, and can freely enter and exit Sun Shou's residence. As soon as Sun Shou saw the Qin Palace, he broke up all of his stays, and under the pretext that he had something important to say, he fornicated with him.

As a result, both inside and outside the Qin Palace were favored, and his prestige and power increased greatly, and the officials who had assassinated Shi and Yulu for 2,000 stones had to resign from him before taking office. Liang Ji obeyed Sun Shou's words and deprived many Liang family members of their powers, giving people a sense of humility to the outside world, and actually elevated the status of the Sun clan. There were more than a dozen of them who pretended to be serving in the name of others, such as servants, secretaries, captains, county guards, and magistrates, and they were all very greedy, cruel, and violent, and each sent his own guests to register the list of the rich people belonging to the county, and then charged these people with other crimes, and arrested them in prison and tortured them, and made them pay to ransom themselves, and those who gave little money and goods were even executed or exiled.

Sun Fen, a man who helped the wind, was wealthy but very stingy, so Liang Ji gave him four horses and then borrowed 50 million from him; Shisun Fen only lent him 30 million, Liang Ji was furious, and complained to the county, identifying Shisun Fen's mother as a slave and maid he used to guard the treasury, saying that she had stolen ten hundred white beads and a thousand catties of purple gold, and betrayed her master; So he arrested and tortured the Shisun Fen brothers, beat them to death in prison, and confiscated all their property of more than 170 million yuan.

The car, the ticket, the woman, the man all have, what is missing, is the house, according to records, General Liang and his wife built a lot of construction, build a mansion, interesting is one built on this side of the street, the other is built on the opposite side of the street, the so-called husband and wife look across the street, the mansion is built to be called a broad atmosphere, the decoration is called a luxury, in addition to the configuration of the five-star hotel, there is also a fairy mist of the pattern decoration, the small bridge and flowing water in the south of the Yangtze River, it is simply a private park that is not open to the public, and the night tower sings constantly, The beautiful singers come and go endlessly, and the sound of orchestral music and dance makes it impossible for those guests who come to visit to enter, and can only "give gifts" to the janitor, so even the janitor of their house is fat, and for a society with very high employment pressure, the janitor is not a position you consider.

In the first year of Yuanjia (151), the 19-year-old adolescent emperor in order to thank Liang someone, he convened all the ministers to discuss his reward, so there were Liang people's own people who said that Liang Ji could enter the court without walking in small steps, and could wear a sword and shoes to the palace, and the emperor could not claim his name and enjoy the same etiquette specifications as Xiao He; gave him all the remaining households in Dingtao and Chengyang, so that his fiefdom increased to four counties, which was comparable to Deng Yu; He was rewarded with money, slaves and maids, colored silks, chariots and horses, clothes, and armor, according to Huo Guang's standards, in order to highlight his first merit. Every time he has a court meeting, he and the three princes come separately and sit alone. He entered the court once in ten days and discussed the affairs of Shangshu on an equal footing. These will be proclaimed to the world and become the legal system of all generations.

But Liang Ji felt that the courtesy they invited was not generous enough, and he was very unhappy.

So he acted arbitrarily, played with power, became more and more cruel and indulgent day by day, and there was not a single confidential matter of all sizes that was decided without first consulting him. The guards and attendants in the palace were all placed by him personally, and he could understand every detail of the living life in the palace. When hundreds of officials are promoted, they must first go to Liangji Gate to thank them with notes and books, and then dare to go to Shangshu Province.

Liang Ji's evil deeds can't be enumerated one by one, anyway, he is building a lot of buildings, lustful dictatorship, and he is good at killing Zhongliang,

It can't be said that Emperor Huan's ministers don't have a good one, Wu Shu is an exception, this duke was sent by the emperor to serve as the county commander of Wanxian County, and resigned to Lord Liang before taking office. At this time, many of Liang Ji's relatives and friends were in Wanxian County. Liang Ji interceded for them and asked Wu Shu to take care of them. Wu Shu replied: "If the villain does bad things, he should be killed." General, by virtue of the queen's prestige, you hold the position of a general, and you should reward the virtuous and make up for the lack of the imperial court. Wanxian is a metropolis, a place where scholars gather, and since I sat down to listen to the teachings, I have not heard you praise a loyal elder, and I have asked me to take care of those who should not be taken care of, and I really dare not obey orders. Liang Ji was silent when he heard this, and he was very unhappy. When Wu Shu arrived in Wan County, he killed dozens of Liangji disciples who endangered the people. Liang Ji hated Wu Shu deeply from then on.

Later, Wu Shu was transferred to Jingzhou Assassin History, and resigned to Liang Ji before leaving, and Liang Ji set up a banquet for him, and secretly put poison in the wine. Wu Shu died in the car as soon as he went out.

Langzhong Yuan Shu was one of them, who was nineteen years old at the time, and when he saw Liang Ji's cruel indulgence, he couldn't suppress the anger in his heart, so he wrote to the emperor and said: "I heard that Kong Zhongni sighed that the phoenix does not come, and the Yellow River does not appear in the divine map, and I feel that I am humble and cannot ask for these things. Now His Majesty is in a position where he can get these things, and he already has the conditions to get these things, but the auspicious qi has not yet appeared, and the virtuous and stupid people have reversed the order, which is all caused by the division of power and the upper and lower barriers. According to the law of the four seasons, meritorious achievements should be retired, and too high titles and too many favors are given, and it is rare that they do not incur harm. Now that the position of the general has reached the extreme, and the great work has been completed, he should warn himself, follow the etiquette of retiring from the suspension car, and sit back and relax to close his eyes and recuperate. The Zuo Biography says: 'If the fruit grows too much, it will crush the branches and damage the trunk. If he does not restrain his power in time, it will be difficult to preserve himself. When the people around Liang Ji heard my words, they would definitely look at me angrily and grit their teeth, I was only promoted because I was young and ignorant, so I dared to say such things regardless of taboos. In the past, Yu advised Emperor Shun not to be as arrogant as Danzhu, and Duke Zhou advised King Cheng not to be as confused as King Yin, hoping that the emperor would abolish the crime of slander and let everyone in the world speak.

The book was handed over, but soon, Lord Liang's ears and eyes reported the matter to Lord Liang, and when Liang heard about it, he secretly sent someone to arrest Yuan Zhu. Yuan Shu changed his name and surname, and later pretended to die of illness, made a dummy with pu grass, and bought a coffin for burial. Liang Ji inquired and learned about the fraud, secretly found him, beat him to death with a bamboo board, and concealed the incident.

Liu Chang, a good friend of Yuan Shu, was very famous in society at that time, and General Liang summoned him to fill the vacancy of a petty official like Lingshi to insult him. At that time, Hao Xue and Hu Wu all liked to make honest remarks and profound opinions, and they were all good friends with Yuan Shu. This made Liang Ji very angry, and suspected that Hao Xue and others were Yuan Shu's comrades, so he ordered the Central Metropolitan Official to issue an official document to arrest those who recommended the virtuous people to the Three Dukes' Mansion and kill them all. He also killed Hu Wu's family, killing more than 60 people in total. When Hao Xue fled before, he knew that he was not immune to disaster, so he used the car to pull the coffin to Liang Ji's house to read. After the letter was delivered, he committed suicide by poisoning. In this way, his family was saved. After Liang Ji was executed, the imperial court issued an edict to pay tribute to Yuan Zhu and others.

In 158 A.D., the Han Dynasty's Taishi Ling Chen Zhu told Bill that the disaster of the solar eclipse was to blame on the general, and after being known by Lord Liang, he arrested Chen Zhu and tortured him, and Chen Zhu died in prison, which made Emperor Huan very angry - furious.

People will always mature, and as they grow older, they will slowly have a faint self-opinion about certain things, and use their feelings and reason to feel and judge the good or bad of something. When a man matures to a certain age, he has the idea of independence, because there is always a hard wing, and Emperor Huan is no exception. For the general Liang Ji's continuous dictatorship, rampant inside and outside the palace, causing Emperor Huan, who is getting older and more independent, to become more and more dissatisfied with his inability to govern in person, finally, he realized that he must find a way to get rid of this person who helped him sit on the throne, so that he can really hold power. Finally, the opportunity came.

Liang Ji's wife Sun Shou was introduced to a court called Deng Meng, and was favored by Emperor Huan and named a nobleman, Liang Ji recognized Deng Meng as his daughter to consolidate his power, this is a bit chaotic, Deng Meng is the wife of Liang Ji's wife's uncle, that is, General Liang's aunt, but in order to consolidate his own power, it is also possible to recognize a godwoman, so the social way of recognizing a godson and daughter, and the righteous son and daughter has also existed since ancient times, so this Deng Meng has changed his name to Liang Meng since then.

Liang Ji's death really starts with recognizing Deng Meng as his goddaughter, Deng Meng's brother-in-law Bing Zun served as the speaker, Liang Ji was afraid that he would not be willing, so he tried to kill Deng Meng's brother-in-law, what kind of thing is this, he recognized someone's sister-in-law as his goddaughter, but killed his brother-in-law, it can be seen that General Liang is an unscrupulous person for the sake of profit.

Liang Ji also wanted to kill a person, that is, Xuan's person, this Xuan was Yuan Yu's neighbor, when the killer assassinated him, Yuan Yu found out and reported to Xuan, Xuan ran into the palace, and reported the confession of his daughter and the assassination of her brother-in-law and his matter to the emperor, and the emperor heard that he and the five people who were in the middle of the meeting, Shan Chao, Gu Yin, Tang Heng, Zuo Yi, Xu Huang, etc., made a plan to kill Liang Ji.

Liang Ji's death responded to that sentence, the fishing person was caught by the fish, what does it mean? Shan Chao sold a flaw, so that Liang Ji felt that he was going to launch a coup d'état, according to Liang Ji's character, he must find a way to get rid of the object of suspicion, so one day, he sent Zhang Yun of Zhonghuangmen into the palace, but he didn't expect to be arrested by the troops who had already prepared, Emperor Huan personally came to the front hall and the ministers to disclose Liang Ji's crime, sent people to surround Liang Ji's residence, confiscated Liang Ji's general seal, and renamed him the Marquis of Bijingdu.

At this time, General Liang woke up like a dream, and felt that the big thing had gone, and he was not wronged by cutting his head a hundred times for those things he did, and he suddenly felt that the emperor's wings had hardened, and his usual attention was only on those who were against him, and he didn't realize that this subconscious didn't know anything The child already has an independent consciousness, and he has come to this point, losing everything, and there is no way in front of him, so Liang Ji and his wife Sun Shou committed suicide and died.

After eliminating Liang Ji, a powerful minister, Emperor Huan's road has not yet been completed, in a sense, it is just the beginning of him.
