And Li Ying's unswerving attack on the rampant and domineering eunuch forces not only attracted the deep jealousy of the eunuchs, but also won the admiration and support of many scholars and students, so the students at that time called Li Ying "the world's model Li Yuanli." pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info", and Li Ying actually became the core figure of the Tai student movement at that time. However, the greater Li Ying's influence among scholars and students, the more the eunuchs wanted to put Li Ying to death.

In the ninth year of Yanxi (that is, 166 years), the eunuch group instructed people to falsely accuse Li Ying and others of entrapping Tai students, making disciples, contacting each other, forming friends, slandering the government and corrupting customs, so under the instigation of the eunuchs, Emperor Huan of Han was furious, and ordered to proclaim the world and arrest the party, in addition to Li Ying's arrest, more than 200 people were implicated, and these party members were added to the neck, hands, and feet plus the so-called "Miki" torture tools, their heads were covered, and they were severely tortured.

Li Ying's bones are very hard, but he is also very witty, so most of Li Ying's confessions involve the children of eunuchs, and the eunuchs are afraid of provoking fire and do not dare to investigate deeply, plus Chen Fan, who was still a lieutenant at the time, strongly opposed the persecution of Li Ying and others, thinking that "the people arrested and imprisoned today are all prestigious talents in the country, and they are loyal and worried about the country, and it is not enough to give them ten generations of favor, so is there a reason to arrest and torture them for no reason?" ”

And when Emperor Huan of the Han Dynasty asked Chen Fan to sign the official document that sentenced Li Ying and others, Chen Fan solemnly refused, so Chen Fan was a Zhongju, so the students called Chen Fan "not afraid of the strong Chen Zhongju." Chen Fan is also well-deserved, and Dou Wu, the father of Emperor Han Huan's empress at that time, has always liked to make friends with students, so Dou Wu asked for the release of the party members as Emperor Han Huan's father-in-law, and handed over the official seal to threaten him with illness, forcing Emperor Han Huan to release the party members, Li Ying was able to get out, but in the end, in the second party disaster, Li Ying generously died.

Unexpectedly, in this world, Li Ying did not die, and it seemed that he had made a big drama with Emperor Ling of Han.

Emperor Han Ling saw Liu Xin's bewildered look, and there was an inexplicable joy in his heart, after all, in the eyes of Emperor Han Ling, Liu Xin had always been calm and unfazed, but now he was confused by himself, which made Emperor Han Ling have a strange sense of pleasure.

Therefore, Emperor Ling of Han decided to tell Liu Xin the truth of everything.

It turned out that as early as when Emperor Huan of the Han Dynasty ascended the throne, this good show began.

Here, I have to mention Liang Ji, one of the top ten traitors in China.

Liang Ji, the word Bozhuo, Liangzhou Anding, is a relative of the Eastern Han Dynasty born in the power of the minister, born in the Han first-class family, the ancestor once assisted the Han Guangwu Emperor Liu Xiu to establish the Eastern Han Dynasty, his father is Liang Shang, there is a sister, is the queen of the Han Shun Emperor, so Liang Ji became a relative, in the first year of Yonghe (that is, 136 AD) became Henan Yin, and then rose step by step.

After the death of Emperor Shun of Han at that time, Emperor Chong of Han, who was only three years old, died young, and was already honored as the Empress Dowager of Liang at that time, and ordered his younger brother Liang Ji to support Liu Zhang, the great-grandson of Emperor Zhang of Han, as the emperor and the heir of Emperor Shun of Han.

Emperor Liu Zhang, the great-grandson of Emperor Zhang of the Han Dynasty, Liu Zhang's great-grandfather Liu Yan was the eldest son of Emperor Zhang of the Han Dynasty, when he was deprived of the right to inherit the throne because of his humble status as his biological mother, Liang Ji and the Empress Dowager Liang supported the Han Emperor, and the reason why the Empress Dowager Dou supported the Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty was almost the same, that is, "coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes", but this may also be regarded as a repetition of history, and the outcome of the two events is the same.

After Liu Zhang became the emperor, because he was still young, the Empress Dowager Liang still called the dynasty as the empress dowager, and the government was basically controlled by his brother Liang Ji, and Liang Ji presided over the government during the period, domineering and domineering, doing everything, which caused some upright courtiers to resist, and many scholars and bureaucrats led by Li Gu, the chief lieutenant, wrote to criticize Liang Ji's actions, and tried to correct the malpractice of the times, but they were all attacked and suppressed by Liang Ji.

Therefore, Liang Ji was commanding in the court, domineering, and unstoppable, and although Emperor Han was only 8 years old, he was also very unpleasant, so in a court meeting, Emperor Han called Liang Ji "this general also" in front of the ministers, expressing his righteous indignation, which made Liang Ji angry, and as a result, after retreating from the dynasty, Liang Ji hated in his heart, and felt that although Emperor Qin was small, he was smart and precocious, and he was the lord of a dynasty, and he was worried that Emperor Qin would be difficult to dominate when he was old, and decided to kill him.

Therefore, in the first year of this year (that is, 146 years) in leap June, Liang Ji asked his cronies who were placed next to Emperor Qian, and secretly mixed poison in the boiled cakes eaten by Emperor Qian, and as a result, Emperor Han Zhidi ate poisoned cakes, suddenly felt stuffy and stomachache, and died of poisoning, and died in Luoyang Palace, only 9 years old, and his posthumous nickname was "Emperor Qian".

Therefore, after poisoning Emperor Han Qian, Liang Ji set up Emperor Huan of Han, who was only fifteen years old at the time, and then Liang Ji was more specialized in court politics, forming parties for personal gain, and cronyism, and wantonly giving officials to relatives.

At this time, Liu Zhi, the emperor of Han Huan, was the great-grandson of Emperor Liu Wei of Han Zhang, the grandson of Liu Kai, the filial piety king of Hejian, and the son of Liu Yi, Marquis of Liwu.

The talented Emperor Han Huan naturally knew the lessons of the Han Emperor, and naturally did not dare to act rashly, but after all, the descendants of the Liu family, the royal family of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Han Huan was definitely unwilling to be subservient, so he began to formulate a plan and decided to kill Liang Ji first!

Know yourself and know your opponent, and you will not be defeated in a hundred battles.

Emperor Huan of the Han Dynasty knew that the current Han dynasty was already controlled by the Liang family, and after experiencing the two generations of emperors of Emperor Chong of the Han Dynasty and Emperor Zhen of the Han Dynasty, the emperor of the Han Dynasty was just a plaything in the eyes of the Liang family.

And the beginning of all this was actually laid by Liang Ji's father, Liang Shang.

In the aspect of the eleven-year-old Han Shun Emperor ascended the throne, he named Liang Shang as the marquis of the Cheng clan, in the first year of Yangjia (that is, 132 AD), Emperor Han Shun set up the daughter of Liang Shang as the queen, since then Liang Shang's status has become more and more prominent, to Yangjia three years to seize the power of the general position, but although Liang Shang "to relatives in the big position", but there are constraints, do not dare to be too domineering, and "Lixian corporal", preferential social celebrities such as Li Gu, Zhou Ju and others, so Liang Shang's reputation is not too bad. But in fact, this was Liang Shang paving the way for his son Liang Ji to be autocratic, because Liang Shang deliberately cultivated his doted son Liang Ji, and specially appointed Liang Ji as Henan Yin, as a springboard to take over his position, and prepared a large number of protégés and former officials for Liang Ji, which were placed in various positions in the court.

In the sixth year of Yonghe (that is, in 141 AD), Liang Shang died of illness, and before he was buried, Emperor Shun of Han appointed Liang Ji to replace his father and became a powerful general, and Liang Ji also appointed his younger brother Liang Budo as Henan Yin.

At that time, the central government of the Eastern Han Dynasty, inherited the characteristics of the Western Han Dynasty, is a two-tier political institution, it is centered on the monarch, the formation of the middle and the outer dynasty two political institutions, the middle dynasty is the inner dynasty, in the Western Han Dynasty by the great Sima (generally added to the general officer number), the left and right front and rear generals, servants, scattered cavalry officials, as for the outer dynasty is composed of the prime minister below, up to six hundred stone officials, so under the monarchy at that time, the closer to the monarch the greater the power, so the power of the inner dynasty is higher than that of the outer court, Therefore, even if the imperial historian and other officials in the outer court have committed a crime, the general of the inner court can have the right to negotiate and dispose of it, in addition, there is also a kind of name of the collar scholar, the plain scholar, and the name of the record scholar, the prime minister and the imperial history are also transferred to the palace, becoming the forbidden Shangshu, and the guards of the inner dynasty often add a name of Shangshushi, you can participate in the secrets of the court, so the officials of the outer court, as long as they add this title, they will also become the officials of the inner court.

Therefore, in the administrative system of the two Han Dynasty, since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the prime minister has no real power, and the real power is in the hands of the general of the Inner Dynasty who leads the Shangshushi, so in the Eastern Han Dynasty, the status of Taifu is the highest, named Shanggong, followed by the three princes of the Han Dynasty - Taiwei, Situ, Sikong, originally the position of the general is under the three dukes, and the general must have military merits, so the Western Han Dynasty only has military merits of the foreign relative Wei Qing, that is, the army worships as a general, and in the Eastern Han Dynasty and the emperor, because Dou Xian has a meritorious crusade against the Huns, he is also worshiped as a general, The position is only below Taifu, higher than the three princes of the Han Dynasty.

When Emperor An of the Han Dynasty, the general Deng Qiu also attacked Xiqiang, and his status was the same as that of Dou Xian, but when he arrived at Emperor An of the Han Dynasty, although Liang Shang had never been on the battlefield in his life and had been to the frontier, he also cited precedents, so he was above the three dukes, just because he was the relationship between the queen's father and got this high position, and Liang Ji also directly ignored military merits because of his father's relationship, and also stepped into the highest point of this power and became a general.

Speaking of Liang Ji, the history books describe his ugly appearance, shrugging his shoulders like a harrier eagle, with jackal-like fierce eyes, he has been accustomed to the life of a gentleman since he was a child, he is addicted to drinking, loves women, is good at gambling, and almost all kinds of cockfighting, lackeys, horse archery and entertainment games that can be done by three religions and nine streams, he will do it.

But Liang Ji, as a gentleman, is not an ordinary gentleman, his father Liang Shang intended to let him take over his position, so Liang Shang paved the way for Liang Ji, so before Liang Ji became a general, he had served as Huangmen Shilang, Shizhong, Tiger Ben Zhonglang General, Yue Cai, Infantry Captain, Zhi Jinwu, Henan Yin, and a set of officialdom Liang Ji is also very skilled, so although Liang Ji stutters clearly, he is good at conspiracy calculations.

For example, when Liang Ji was doing Henan Yin, because of "tyrannical and illegal", he was unaccustomed to being seen by Liang Shang's cronies Luoyang, and occasionally exposed his shortcomings in front of Liang Shang, after Liang Ji learned about this, he sent someone to assassinate Lu Fang without saying a word, and in order to cover up his ugly behavior, Liang Ji deliberately blamed others on the one hand, and on the other hand, he came forward to recommend Lu Fangdi to replace Luoyang Ling. Therefore, Liang Ji became a general, and compared with his father, it can be said that "the blue is better than the blue".

When Liang Ji succeeded as a general, Emperor Shun of Han was already twenty-seven years old, in the prime of life, and also wanted to make a career, but suddenly died of illness in the third year of Liang Ji's tenure at the age of Chinese New Year's Eve.

What was the cause of the sudden death of Emperor Shun of Han? There is nothing to investigate, but no matter what, this is undoubtedly an opportunity for Liang Ji to play with "greedy children for a long time", and most importantly, it also led to the death of three emperors in the Eastern Han Dynasty in just one year, Shun, Chong, and Qian, which is unheard of in the Han Dynasty and even in the whole of China.

Therefore, Emperor Han Huan knew that his throne was not easy to sit on, although he was also Liang Ji and Empress Dowager Liang who overrode public opinion and forcibly supported the emperor.

At that time, after the death of Emperor Han Qian, the ministers of the court, Li Gu, Hu Guang, Zhao Jie, and Dahonglu Du Qiao, all believed that Liu Garlic, the king of Qinghe, should be established, because Liu Garlic was virtuous and virtuous, had a great reputation, and was the most noble and closest descendant of the royal family at that time, so Liu Garlic should be established as the emperor.

But what Li Gu and others approve of is exactly what Liang Ji and the Empress Dowager do not like, because the heir to the throne in the minds of Liang Ji and the Empress Dowager Liang is Liu Zhi, the Marquis of Liwu (Emperor Huan of Han), who is about to become their brother-in-law, but in the case of the ministers unanimously praising the establishment of Liu Garlic as the emperor, although Liang Ji is indignant in his heart, it is difficult to reject the public opinion for a while, so just when Liang Ji was struggling with planning, the scheming Zhongchang servant Cao Teng (that is, Cao Cao's grandfather) came to visit late at night.

Cao Teng said to Liang Ji: "General Liang has had royal marriages for many years, and for a long time, he has been in charge of the government and has so many guests under him, it is inevitable that mistakes will not occur." King Qinghe is just clear, if he becomes the emperor, then the general will be in a catastrophe. It's better to establish Liu Zhi, and wealth can be kept for a long time! ”

Cao Teng's words are actually very simple, that is, to tell Liang Ji that the establishment of Liu Zhi is actually the establishment of the Liang dynasty; Standing Liu Garlic, the fate of the Liang family is unpredictable, and what the Liang family desires most and what they are most afraid of are all explained by Cao Teng.

Therefore, after Cao Teng's words, Liang Ji was determined to establish Liu Zhi as the emperor, so when the court was reconvened the next day, Liang Ji put on a menacing posture, and his words were fierce, and he resolutely wanted to establish Liu Zhi.

Liang Ji intends to use power to oppress people, and a discerning person can see at a glance that whoever disagrees with Liang Ji's opinion will kill Liang Ji, so Hu Guang, Zhao Jie and other courtiers are not intimidated by Liang Ji, and they all bow their heads and say resignedly: "Only the general's order is from!" Only Li Gu, Du Qiao and others insisted on the original proposal, arguing on the basis of reason, the more Liang Ji listened, the more annoyed he became, and shouted rudely: "Break the meeting!" Then he set the order of Emperor Huan of the Han Dynasty

As a result, Liang Ji consulted with his sister Empress Dowager Liang in order to eliminate Li Gu's obstruction, and finally in the name of the Empress Dowager, Li Gu was first removed from the post of Tai Lieutenant, deprived Li Gu of the right to discuss the court, and then set up Liu Zhi as the emperor, called Emperor Huan of Han.

Although Emperor Han Huan felt that Liang Ji made him the emperor, this does not mean that he is Liang Ji's puppet!
