Liang Ji, Zhuo Bo, was born in Ubuntu (now northwest of Pingliang County, Gansu Province) in the Eastern Han Dynasty. His father, Liang Shang, became a general in Shun Di's time. Liang Ji's aunt and sister are both beautiful, and they were named queen and noble by Shun Di respectively. Although Liang Ji was born into a wealthy aristocratic family, he was not only ugly and vicious, but also lacked talent and virtue. He is cunning, scheming and unscrupulous. It is such a prodigal son who, with the power of his family, has prospered in his official career. A few years later, a bodyguard and assistant minister Huang's men climbed to the highest position, taking charge of public security and power in Beijing, and then he was promoted to He Nanyin, the chief executive of Beijing.
After Liang Shang died, Shun Di made him succeed as a general. After he took charge of state affairs, he cracked down on dissidents, killed innocent people, framed loyalty, set up an emperor without authorization, and the ruling and opposition parties were in darkness, and the people complained bitterly. As a result, the Eastern Han Dynasty gradually declined and went to extinction.
During his tenure as Henan Yin, he was overbearing and ignored state affairs. Bohemian, drinking and playing chess, fighting cocks and beating dogs, and running amok make people extremely angry. Many officials dare to speak out because they are afraid of power and anger. With the passage of time, Ji Liang became more reckless, doing whatever he wanted and running amok. Fang Lu, the county magistrate of Luoyang at that time, was a proud pupil of Liang Shang and a frequent visitor of Liang Jia, and was deeply appreciated. On one occasion, Lu told Liang Shang of his misconduct in good faith and diplomatically. Liang Ji was very angry when his father asked him to teach him a lesson. In my opinion, it is simply intolerable that a small Luoyang county magistrate dares to expose the shortcomings of Tanghe Nanyin and lead to murder. So he sent someone to assassinate Fang Lu on his way back. In order to deceive my father, hide my eyes and ears, and deliberately spread rumors of Fang Lu's assassination, I deeply sympathize with him. To this end, he also hypocritically sponsored his younger brother Lu Yu to take over as the magistrate of Luoyang, which not only blocked the mouth of the Lu family, but also diverted people's attention and avoided the doubts of Liang Shang. How insidious and cunning! Then severely punish the murderer in a serious way, let Lv Yu kill the assassin and his relatives and guests, and kill the assassin with Lu's knife to achieve the evil purpose of covering his mouth.
In order to have fun, Liang Ji ignored national laws and regulations and forcibly occupied many cultivated land and gardens as amusement places.
He built a rabbit garden in western Henan (now the west of Luoyang) and dozens of miles in Fiona Fang, planted trees and grass, and dug ditches to divert water to hunt rabbits. It also ordered all kinds of rabbits to be recruited from all over the country and sent to rabbit farms for feeding. In order to prevent the rabbit from getting lost and being hunted by others, the rabbit was specially marked, and no harm was allowed. If there are violators, they will never let go easily, and even pay with their lives. On one occasion, a semi-final of a conference that came to the western regions to do business broke into and killed a rabbit by mistake without knowing the ban of the rabbit garden. Not only was he killed, but also dozens of innocent relatives and friends were implicated and executed.
After the middle of the Eastern Han Dynasty, due to the incompetence of the emperor, the situation of the dictatorship of consorts gradually formed. Generally, it appears in the form of the father and brother of the emperor's family serving as generals and recording history. Their main method is to choose some young and ignorant dolls as emperors. In this way, the consorts can do whatever they want in the name of helping the little emperor, control the emperor and make the power firmly in the hands of the consorts.
In the third year of Han 'an (AD 144), after the death of Emperor Shun, Liang raped public opinion and took the initiative to put Liu Bing, who was only two years old, on the throne of the emperor. This is the worship of the emperor in the Han Dynasty. So, the queen mother Liang asked to be Qiu and participated in the history.
Obviously, only Liang Ji has the final say on the scale and orders of North Korea. Who knows that the little emperor's life was short and he died the next year. Liang Ji and Coulee fought fiercely on the question of choosing the emperor. In order to consolidate Liu's political power and curb the exclusive rights of his consorts, he advocated choosing an old, steady, well-behaved person to succeed him. To this end, he recommended Qinghe garlic Liu Wang as the candidate for the new emperor. When I told my thoughts and the reason why I chose Liu Garlic as the emperor, I was very dissatisfied and dealt with a few words on the surface. I thought to myself, if an old and promising man is made emperor according to Gu Li's opinion, he will not be able to manipulate state affairs and his power will be lost. So he used his arrogance, ignored the good words of good ministers, and played with the national security and the interests of the people. For personal sinister purposes, he even became an eight-year-old emperor of Liu Zuan (quality emperor), and everything was under his control. But after a long time, the young little emperor had an opinion on what the general had done and was very dissatisfied. On one occasion, in front of many civil servants and military commanders, the little emperor made a joke and said to Liang Ji, "This domineering general is also." Liang Ji suddenly got angry and looked rather ugly. Later, he retaliated against the emperor and secretly ordered people to put poison in the middle of the cooking cake and feed it to the emperor China. After a while, the emperor had a terrible stomachache and felt something was wrong. He wanted to drink water. When Liang Ji was present, he saw that this situation was not good, and he was afraid that it would be exposed. He tried to stop the emperor from saying, "There is no water! Drinking water will vomit! " Arguing with others delayed the opportunity, and a drug attack occurred, which simply poisoned the little emperor alive.
Within a few years, the little emperors died one after another, inexplicably. Some loyal ministers headed by Qiu are worried. Determined to recommend Liu garlic, king of Qinghe, to be emperor again. To this, Liang Ji still made a big fuss at the meeting, speaking ill of him, and his face was full of pitfalls. Many ministers trembled and panicked, and repeatedly echoed "only the general's orders!" Only obey the general's orders! Only outspoken, willing to risk their lives, still want to set up the son of heaven in Wei Liu. "。 Liang Ji bears a grudge against this. He persuaded Empress Liang to remove Gu Li from office and eliminate his hatred. Later, no one dared to say it, and no one dared to compare with him. Liang Ji made his brother-in-law Liu Zhili emperor of the Han Dynasty. Since then, Liang Ji has been more unscrupulous in North Korea.
As Liang Ji grows stronger, its desire for wealth expands dramatically. In order to grasp the base number of rich households in various places, under the banner of the emperor, he appointed his cronies to conduct a general survey of the wealth of the whole country and register the names, addresses and assets of the rich one by one. Then by hook or by crook, catch the target, make much ado about nothing, frame it up, put it in prison and torture it.
Some people have no choice but to repent against their will and redeem their lives with money. Some people have almost no property, can't pay a huge fine, and are exiled to the frontier, and their wives and children are separated, and their families are ruined. Some people are stingy, love money like life, can't stand torture, die unjustly in prison, and the rich family property is still not taken for themselves by Ji Liang and his gang, and finally they end up with both money and people.
At that time, there was a man named Fen in the suburb of Guodu. He is good at managing money and accumulating wealth. There are countless manors, houses, shops and properties. He is a famous rich man and a famous miser. For a long time, Liang Ji has been jealous of Sun Shi Fen's property and always wants to keep it for himself, but he can't find a suitable reason and has been at a loss. One day, Liang Ji thought hard and decided to borrow money from Sun Fen. If Sun Shi Finn borrows it, he is prepared not to pay it back, and he will find another opportunity to borrow it later, but he dare not collect the debt, which means he can earn as much as he borrows. In case Finn doesn't borrow it, he will fall into a trap, fabricate charges, try to question him and seize the opportunity to rob money, which is better. Sure enough, when Liang Ji asked Sun Fen to lend him 50 million yuan, Sun Fen knew that the newcomer was uneasy and kind, perhaps with ulterior motives, but he dared not refuse. He had to bite the bullet and smile, politely declined that he was not generous at the moment and could not come up with so much, and promised to borrow 30 million for the time being. Liang Ji flew into a rage, angry, cursed Sun Fen unappreciative, and then left. Later, he ordered his confidants to falsely accuse the county, saying that Shi's mother had been a handmaiden, stole Liang's white beads for 1,200 yuan and escaped with more than 1,000 Jin of Zijin. That's why literate people are so rich. The imperial court tacitly and in collusion with each other, arrested the brothers indiscriminately and seized all the property of the literati. During the trial, Finn shouted that he was wronged and would rather die than recruit. He was beaten to death. In order to please Liang Ji, the government sentenced him to "return the property to its original owner". In this way, more than1.700 million assets of the Shi family were publicly and legally owned.
For Liang Ji's greedy banditry, the common people not only dare not speak out, but are helpless. Even the emperor was released, and he was even afraid of three points. At that time, Liang Ji had closed more than 30,000 households, not only surpassing princes and princes, but also occupying a large area of fertile land and forests, with tens of thousands of slaves and countless treasures of gold and silver, leading a dissolute and shameless life. Even so, he still felt powerless and instigated others to write to the emperor to ask for a reward for his wife and children. The Hongnong people, adhering to the will, slaughtered and proclaimed themselves emperor, trumpeted Liang Ji's achievements and boasted that Sun Shou, the wife of the general, was a good wife and mother and should enjoy the same treatment as the princess. The emperor was forced by Liang Ji's arrogance, so he had to appoint her as Xiangcheng Jun and collect taxes from nearby Yangzhai County. Each place earned more than 50 million yuan, one and a half times that of the prince. In addition, Liang Ji's land revenue and numerous extortion made a large amount of money from all over the country flow into Liang Ji's state treasury like an endless river.
Liang Ji thinks he is powerful, rich, lawless and spendthrift. He built pavilions and pavilions in Kyoto and other places, repaired gardens and hunting grounds, looked for flowers everywhere, and lived a drunken life all day. In order to have fun, Liang Ji also built a secret room in Xicheng, where famous ladies and beautiful women were held and raped at will. Even the beautiful friend Shun Di once loved never gave up. She secretly sent someone to pick it up and put it in a secret room in the west of the city for a long time. It's really erotic. Facing Liang Ji's dissolute life, his wife Sun Shou is unwilling to be lonely. She also built many buildings along the street, carved with flowers and painted with birds, resplendent and magnificent, with winding bridges extending in all directions, singing and dancing lightly, which sensationalized Kyoto and spread all over the world.
The erosion of life in Liang Ji led to political corruption. After he is in charge of state affairs, he has to ask himself about confidential matters. Without his approval, nothing can be done. Therefore, the personnel arrangement in the palace and the words and deeds of the emperor are under the control of Liang Ji. Therefore, if North Korean and local officials want to be promoted, they must first go to Liang Ji to open their joints and ask for good words. Precious specialty gifts selected from all over the country are usually sent to Fu Liang first, and the rest can be sent to the Palace.
In this regard, Emperor Huan of the Han Dynasty had heard about it for a long time, but he just swallowed it. In the first year of Yan Jia (AD 158), there were solar and lunar eclipses. Grandmaster asked Chen to borrow natural phenomena to satirize God's punishment for the general's faults. After hearing the news, Liang Ji became angry from embarrassment, ordered the arrest of Chen Shou and tortured him to death in prison. When Emperor Huan learned of this incident, he was shocked and prepared to investigate the responsibility. They added fuel to the fire and complained in succession, prompting the emperor to gradually form a determination to consider punishing Liang Ji. In addition, regardless of the ethical code, the noble who insisted on letting Emperor Huan fall in love fiercely recognized him as the adoptive father and changed his surname to Liang. In order not to let the fierce mother and brother-in-law get in the way, they took the world by storm and sent people to assassinate them. Because Meng Mu's family and Yuan's family are neighbors, the assassin boarded the roof of Yuan's family and tried to climb over the wall. Unexpectedly, Yuan She was alarmed by the sound, and immediately drummed and shouted to arrest people, which made the assassination plot bankrupt. Immediately, Meng's mother hurriedly fled to the palace and cried to Emperor Huan about Liang Jigan's scandal. Emperor Huan of Han was furious and felt very uncomfortable bullying his own beauty. He linked these two things and decided to get rid of Liang Ji.
So Emperor Huan called all the ministers to the front of the temple to explain the seriousness of the matter and his determination. Yin Xun, the minister, was ordered to guard the inner court of the palace with Jeff's army in case of any accident. Let Huang Menling's tools lead 1000 soldiers and a captain Zhang Biao to quickly surround Liang Ji's residence and prevent him from escaping; Lu Xun carried the emperor to Liang's house, read the imperial edict and retrieved the seal of the general. At this time, Liang Ji, who had been in command, knew that there was a catastrophe, and he was so frightened that he had a premonition that his life would be in danger and committed suicide with his wife Sun Shou. Later, Liang Ji's property was counted, and the contract was more than 3 billion, equivalent to more than 50% of the national tax rent of that year. Since then, Liang Ji has been firmly nailed to the shame of history.
