The six-dimensional pictures of emperors of all dynasties were exposed, and the ancestors panicked

Chapter 71 Toilet coup!

[Liang Ji's brain was so hot that he poisoned Emperor Zhi of Han Dynasty, and Liang Yu was furious. But Empress Dowager Liang, who had lost control of the court at this time, could not do anything to Liang Ji]

[And Liang Ji, who calmed down, was also stupid. He didn't find a "backup" in advance. Who would he look for to be the emperor once the little emperor died? 】

[Should Liu Lian, the King of Qinghe who has not yet left, be made emperor? 】

……

The playback continued on the marquee.

Luoyang Palace
  Facing the vacant throne,
  His Highness's ministers argued endlessly.

Situ Hu Guang, Sikong Zhao Jie, and Taiwei Li Gu all came to the table.

"The world is unfortunate. In the past few years, the country has been in trouble."

"Now we should establish an emperor. He will be the most important person in the world. He should be chosen carefully to preserve his sage."

"Liu Lian, King of Qinghe, is a well-known scholar of Mingde. He is the elder brother of the Emperor and a respected relative. It is appropriate to establish him as emperor. Everyone in the imperial court will return to his heart!"

……

[On the first day of the sixth month in AD 146, Liang Ji, who was short of brains, summoned the three princes, two thousand stones, and the princes to discuss who should be made emperor. 】

[The general, the ministers, and the emperor, what a familiar scene. 】

[At that time, all the ministers headed by Sangong believed that King Liu Lian of Qinghe was virtuous and suitable to be emperor. 】

[He also cited "Huo Guang's old story", saying that Huo Guang deposed Liu He and welcomed Emperor Xuan, thus reviving the Han Dynasty and persuaded Liang Ji. 】

[They are good at persuading people. Liang Ji, who was originally interested in persuading people, even refused to agree to such persuasion, so he was in a stalemate for a while. 】

[The ministers recommended Liu Lian, but Liang Ji disagreed. Let Liang Ji make the recommendation. He hasn't chosen anyone yet. The discussion went on and on all day with no results, so we had to discuss it the next day. 】

……

A certain Han Dynasty emperor who did not want to be named scratched his cheek.

Huo Guang died at the end of his life...

……

[At this time, a "historical" figure played a role. 】

……

On the canopy,
  Inside the magnificent General's Mansion.

A round-faced eunuch bowed in salute.

Talking eloquently to the burly general sitting at the top.

"Does General know that the Queen Mother wants to marry her younger brother to Marquis Liwu?"

Liang Ji touched his beard, looked at the eunuch below and said doubtfully:

"What else is going on? Who is this Marquis Liwu? How can he be valued by the Queen Mother?"

The eunuch smiled slightly, straightened up slightly and said:
  "At the beginning, Liu Kai, the son of Emperor Zhang, King of Pingyuan, was demoted to Hejian as King of Hejian."

"The King of Hejian asked Emperor Shun to divide Liwu County and give it to his son Liu Jihou. Emperor Shun agreed."

"Liu Ji died, and his son Liu Zhi succeeded him."

Liang Ji was impatient, waved his hand and said:

"Cao Changshi, what exactly do you want to say?"

The eunuch who was interrupted on the other side was not angry either, he just smiled and said:

"Liu Zhi is good at music and is good at playing the piano and playing the instrument. So the Queen Mother recruited him to Xiamen Pavilion to be her brother-in-law. This is a great opportunity for the general!"

Liang Ji looked at the eunuch opposite and asked confusedly:
  "What you're saying is meaningless. What's the perfect opportunity?"

The eunuch rushed south to offer his hand and said:
  "The emperor passed away, and now the only sons of the right age to serve in Beijing are King Qinghe and Marquis Liwu."

Liang Ji looked unhappy when he heard the words "King of Qinghe". The eunuch pretended not to know and continued:

"The general has been a close relative of the queen for generations. He is in charge of state affairs. He has many guests and often does things that go beyond etiquette."

"King Qinghe is strict and fair. If... he is really appointed as his heir, then the general will be in trouble soon!"

"It's better to make Marquis Liwu the emperor, so that the general can maintain wealth forever!"

Liang Ji's eyes lit up when he heard this!

"Wonderful! Just do it like this! I'll go tell the Queen Mother right now!"

……

[Cao Teng, the official at the time, went to pay homage to Liu Lian, but Liu Lian probably looked down on eunuchs, saying, "Garlic is not a courtesy, and eunuchs hate it because of it."]

[Then Cao Teng visited Liang Ji and said that King Qinghe was a strict man. If he became an emperor, he would probably suffer disaster soon. If he established Liu Zhi, he would be rich and honorable for a long time. 】

[So on the next day, Liang Ji gathered the ministers again, with a fierce spirit and passionate words, and wanted to make Li Wuhou Liu Zhi the emperor. The officials were afraid of Liang Ji and all said, "I only have the order of the general." 】

[Only Taiwei Li Gu and Dahonglu Du Qiao insisted on this proposal. Li Gu wrote another letter to persuade Liang Ji. Liang Ji was so angry that he asked the Queen Mother Liang Yu to dismiss Li Gu. 】

[On the fourth day of the sixth lunar month, Liang Ji persuaded the Queen Mother and first dismissed Taiwei Li Gu from his position with an order. 】

[On the seventh day of the sixth lunar month in AD 146, the Empress Dowager Liang sent Liang Ji to hold Fujie and carry Liu Zhi into the Nangong in a Wang Qinggai chariot. Liu Zhi ascended the throne that day at the age of fifteen. Historically known as "Emperor Huan of the Han Dynasty"]

[The Empress Dowager Liang was still in charge of the government. Cao Teng, Changle Taipu Zhoufu and other seven people were all granted the title of Tinghou for their merits in making decisions.]

[On August 147, AD, Liu Zhili made Liang Ji’s sister Liang’s daughter Ying his queen. 】

[At this time, Liang Ji's power had reached its peak. 】

[In December, Liu Wen wanted to rebel against King Qinghe, but was defeated and killed. King Qinghe Liu Lian committed suicide. Liang Ji used this to falsely accuse Li Gu and Du Qiao of being Liu Wen's accomplices, and Luo Zhi killed the two of them and violently murdered them in Luoyang City. 】

[On the 148th day of the first lunar month in AD, Liu Zhi crowned the emperor and granted amnesty to the world]

……

Big man,

Liu Bang sat cross-legged on the soft couch, looked at the sky, crossed his arms and said.

"Eshan, did you notice it?"

Lu Zhi, who was on the side, closed his sleeves with his hands and nodded expressionlessly.

Liu Ying, who was behind them, looked confused and asked:
  "Father and mother, what did you find?"

Facing Liu Ying's inquiry, the two looked at each other.

Then Liu Bang opened his mouth and replied:

"It's not the Liu family but it's the king who attacks the whole country. Do you know what it means?"

Liu Ying nodded.

Liu Bang glanced at Lu Pheasant and continued:

"Nai Gong's order is to leave a way out for the descendants of the Liu family. If something unexpected happens in this world, the death will be caused by the Liu family."

"So in the sky, in the Western Han Dynasty, the imperial power and the vassal kings were fighting, no matter..."

Liu Bang glanced at Lu Pheasant.

"No matter how powerful the harem and foreign ministers are, the emperor's means of rule are still firmly in his hands, even the three emperors Yuan, Cheng and Ai."

Liu Ying thought carefully, pondered for a while and replied:
  "It's because there are still members of the Liu clan acting as Dali, right?"

Seeing Liu Ying being able to think and understand so quickly, Liu Bang nodded happily.

It’s okay, there’s no such thing as a stupid person.

"That's right, our emperor of the Western Han Dynasty is not afraid even if he uses eunuchs, because he still has the Liu clan."

"But it was different in the Eastern Han Dynasty, or it has been different since Emperor Zhang."

Liu Bang leaned on the railing of the soft couch, looked at the sky and said:

"Do you still remember that in the sky, Emperor Zhang's relative Dou Xian seized the farmland of Princess Qinshui, a relative of the Liu family?"

Liu Ying didn't know why and nodded.

"Remember, I was still very angry at the time!"

Liu Bang nodded slightly.

"Yes, you are angry, but Emperor Zhang is indifferent to Dou Xian's actions. Is it really because he loves Queen Dou?"

Liu Ying felt something was slightly wrong in this passage, but after hearing the last question, she replied:

"Probably not."

Liu Bang sneered.

"Of course not! Because starting from Emperor Zhang, the harem and relatives have joined forces to replace the original Liu family vassal king, and have become the emperor's opponents!"

"The imperial power has been eclipsed by the harem and relatives."

"The power of the Liu clan was transferred to the relatives, and the emperor had no helpers. With Wang Mang's precedent, the Emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty had no way out."

"Tell me, in this case, who can the descendants of the Eastern Han Dynasty rely on to fight against the relatives in the harem?"

Liu Ying looked solemn and nodded solemnly. "Father, I understand."

Liu Bang stroked his beard happily, and Lu Pheasant also looked sideways at Liu Ying.

"In such a dangerous situation, the emperor can only rely on his ministers!"

"..."

Lu Pheasant on the side turned his head as if unintentionally and rolled his eyes.

"...His mother's..."

Liu Bang tightened his grip and pulled off a few strands of his beard.

……

The period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty
  Liu Che's face improved a lot when he saw the posthumous title "Huan".

He conquered the land far away and called him Huan, and used military force to make peace.

Ke Jing moves the people and calls them Huan, so they can be respected.

The person who created the land and combined it with the country was called Huan, and the person who created the land and the country was called Huan.

Huan is the beautiful posthumous title of Zheng'er Ba Jing.

This shows that this boy must be doing a good job.

……

Period of Emperor Guangwu of Yanhan Dynasty

Liu Xiu looked at the sky with a pale face.

In order to prevent his relatives from interfering in politics, he thought of many ways.

He also ordered that "the harem house must not be granted lordships and political power!"

Unexpectedly, a thousand-mile embankment collapsed in an ant nest!

Starting from that boy Liu Jin, the influence of the relatives is getting stronger and stronger!

hateful!

After being angry for a long time, Liu Xiu began to think about why his descendants' relatives were so powerful in politics.

After thinking about it for a while, the biggest problem may still be the short lifespan of future generations.

Because of her short life, the Queen Mother came to rule and controlled the emperor's power.

After the Queen Mother took the throne, she used her relatives to consolidate her power, so her relatives gained exclusive power.

The question arises, why do our descendants live so short lives?
  ……

[In 150 AD, the Empress Dowager Liang was seriously ill and before her death, she issued an edict to return Liu Zhi to power. 】

[It must be said that Liu Zhi at this time had some shadow of Emperor Xuan. He was not eager to take back the power of pro-government. Instead, after the death of the Empress Dowager Liang, he added the title of food to ten thousand households in Liang and Ji. 】

[So far, Liang Ji alone has accumulated 30,000 fiefs, far exceeding the limits of feudal lords in the Han Dynasty. 】

【Not only that. 】

[On the first day of the first lunar month in the spring of 151 AD, Liang Ji brought his sword into the palace. Shangshu Zhang Ling scolded him and asked the imperial army to take away Liang Ji's sword. Liang Ji knelt down to apologize, and Liu Zhi lightly fined Liang Ji one year's salary, which made all the officials feel pity. 】

[And also gave Liang Ji more privileges: "When he enters the court, he goes to the palace without hesitation, he pays homage without being praised, and his etiquette is better than Xiao He's"]

[Added the title of his food town to four counties, analogous to Deng Yu]

[The number of rewards in terms of money, slaves, colorful silks, carriages, horses, clothes, and titles is comparable to that of Huo Guang back then]

[He granted his younger brother Liang Buyi the title of Marquis of Yingyang, Liang Meng as the Marquis of Xijia, Liang Meng's son Liang Yin as the Marquis of Xiangyi, and his wife Sun Shou as the Lord of Xiangcheng. He was also given a scarlet silk ribbon and the title of Princess Bi. 】

[Liang Ji became even more tyrannical and tyrannical from then on. All political affairs, big and small, in the DPRK are decided by him. 】

[For promotion and appointment of officials, you must first go to his home to express gratitude before going to the Shangshu Desk to go through the formalities]

[Of the annual tributes from local counties and counties, the best ones should be given to Liang Ji first, and then the inferior ones should be presented to Emperor Huan. 】

["With authority both internally and externally, hundreds of officials will look at you, and no one dares to disobey orders. The emperor respects himself but cannot be personally associated with him." 】

[Liang Ji and his wife Sun Shou were extravagant and lustful. They plundered wealth and built mansions. They were cruel, corrupt and violent, which aroused great anger among the people. 】

……

Datang,

Li Shimin leaned on the soft couch and said with a faint look:

"Cheng Qian, do you know when the aristocratic family arose?"

Li Chengqian couldn't help but be startled when he heard that, a wealthy family?

Hasn’t that always been there?
  Li Shimin glanced at Li Chengqian and said lightly.

"At the end of the Western Han Dynasty, land annexation in Wang Mang's new dynasty was very serious. Small people became tenant farmers one after another. Although Emperor Guangwu revived the Han Dynasty, this problem was not solved by Emperors Guangwu, Ming, and Zhang."

"These three emperors all want to resolve this matter."

"They imitated the rule of Wen and Jing, saved taxes, and rested with the people. However, this method was impossible to suppress land annexation, let alone weaken the existing local powers."

"The power has not declined, and the power has not been reduced. After holding the power for a long time, it became a "noble family"."

"And the queens of the Eastern Han Dynasty were basically from aristocratic families."

"The so-called eunuchs, courtiers, and relatives are all in the final analysis a confrontation between imperial power and aristocratic families."

"Chengqian..."

Li Shimin sat up straight, looked at Li Chengqian who was a little stunned, and said in a serious tone:

"The enemy of the country is from a noble family!"

……

Song Zhenzong period
  Inside the Zichen Hall
  Zhao Heng put his hands behind his back and looked at the sky, feeling something in his heart:

"Although Liang Ji does not have the name of emperor, he has the status of emperor."

"Thanks to the fact that the emperor of the Han Dynasty still had some sanctity at that time, if it had been the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, the Liang family would have replaced him long ago."

The ministers in the palace looked at each other.

This is not easy to talk about in Song Dynasty, right?
  ……

[In July 159 AD, Liang Nuying, the queen of Emperor Huan of the Han Dynasty, passed away. Buried in Yiling. 】

[The noble man Deng Mengnu loved Fang Sheng, but Liang Ji "jealed his favor" and ordered him to change his name to Liang. He also sent an assassin to break into Deng Mengnu's home at night in an attempt to assassinate Deng Mengnu's mother Chang'an Junxuan]

[Her neighbors noticed this and beat drums to gather a crowd to warn her. Lord Chang'an entered the palace to report Liang Ji's crimes to Emperor Huan of the Han Dynasty. 】

……

On the sky screen, a picture scroll slowly opened.

There are five figures on the scroll.

The one on the left is wearing court clothes and a crown that reaches the sky, clearly looking like an emperor.

On the right are five eunuchs with beardless faces, wearing black clothes and red scarves.

One of the eunuchs cut his arm, and all six of them held pottery bowls in their hands, which was a sign of bloodshed.

Above the scroll, large ink characters float at the head of the title.

"Toilet Coup"

……

[The Lord of Chang'an reported Liang Ji's crimes, and Emperor Huan of the Han Dynasty felt that the time had come and decided to plot to kill Liang Ji. 】

[He first made an excuse to go to the toilet to avoid the eyes and ears of Liang Ji in the palace, and then asked Tang Heng, the little yellow man next to him, who were the ministers and ministers of the Liang family who could not get along with each other? 】

[Tang Heng reported the names of several people, and Emperor Huan of the Han Dynasty summoned them all. Later, Shan Chao, Xu Huang, Ju Yuan, Zuo Ning and others in Zhongchang served as blood allies and conspired to destroy Liang. 】

[On the tenth day of August in 159 AD, Emperor Huan of the Han Dynasty summoned the ministers in the front hall and asked the ministers to order Yin Xun to hold the festival. He asked the officials below Cheng and Lang to guard the palace gate, take back each talisman and send it to the palace. 】

[Ming Juyuan led more than a thousand sword and halberd warriors from the left and right sides of Mangzou, Huben, Yulin, and Duhou to surround Liangji Mansion together with Sili Colonel Zhang Biao, and asked Guangluxun Yuan Xuchijie to take back Liangji's palace. The general sealed his ribbon and changed his title to Bijingdu Township Marquis. 】

[Seeing that the situation was over, Liang Ji knew that he was bound to die, and committed suicide together with his wife Sun Shou. 】

[And Liang Ji’s clan were all executed. 】

[The three princes, Taiwei Hu Guang, Situ Hanyan, and Sikong Sunlang, were dismissed from their posts and became civilians. More than 300 officials and guests promoted by Liang were dismissed, leaving the court empty. 】

[Confiscated Liang Ji’s belongings and sold them at a discount, totaling more than three billion yuan]

[Liu Zhi ordered that half of the taxes in the world be reduced. 】

[On August 159, AD, Deng Gui was summoned as queen, and Queen Liang's Yiling was abolished and changed to Guiren Tomb. 】

[The imperial edict granted Shanchao, Xu Huang, Ju Yuan, Zuo Ming, and Tang Heng all the titles of county princes. Shanchao had 20,000 households in the city, and Xu Huang and others had more than 10,000 households each. They were known as the "Five Hous" by the world. . 】

　In the early days of Emperor Huan of the Han Dynasty, it was really like Liu Bing had died, really.

　　Among the emperors of the two Han Dynasties, including the Young Emperor, the only one who could really be considered to have a crotch lift was Liu Hu, Emperor An of the Han Dynasty.
