Chapter 26 2. Who drove the god of death crazy?

AD 151, summer, April 3rd. On this day, it has been more than three months since Liang Ji was impeached by Zhang Ling.Liang Ji has already healed the scar and forgot the pain, and the emperor Liu Zhi seems to have forgotten about it.On this day, he suddenly became interested, went on a secret trip, slipped out of the palace, and went to someone else's house as a guest. Liu Zhi thought he did it without anyone noticing.Unexpectedly, as soon as the emperor returned to the palace, the memorial flew in front of him.In fact, Liu Zhi's trip was not because his confidentiality work was not good, but because when he went to Liang Yin's house to play, he didn't pick a good day and encountered a terrible weather.

It is indeed a ghost weather.When I went out, the weather was fine, but when I went to Liang’s house to drink, a strong wind suddenly blew up, trees were uprooted, and houses were collectively torn off their roofs. In broad daylight, it was like being in night. Someone took this matter and wrote a letter to Liu Zhi.The beginning of the memorial is written like this: Heaven can't speak, it can only use catastrophe to show its anger and condemn the emperor.Since ancient times, the emperor had reasonable requirements when he wanted to leave the palace.For example, going to the suburbs or offering sacrifices to the imperial temple is a legitimate request.

The subtext of this memorial is that you, the emperor, should not visit the Liang family.See if you don't enjoy yourself, even God doesn't like it. If you speculate further, it means that the Liang family is very evil, and it is best for the emperor to avoid getting close to their family.Obviously, this is a gauntlet against Liang and Ji. Sure enough, at the end of the memorandum, a big name was signed——Yang Bing. Yang Bing is very strange, but his father is no stranger to you.Yang Zhen, a Confucian in Kansai who resisted his relatives' interference in politics, was Yang Bing's father.

After reading the memorial, Liu Zhi didn't forward it to Liang Ji, nor made it public, but suppressed it as if he hadn't seen it. Very weak, very useless, the public officials of the Han Dynasty would secretly evaluate Liu Zhixia like this.It can even be said that even Liang Ji himself may think that Liu Zhi is a bully. He is like a goldfish in a tank, only worth admiring, and useless other than that. Wrong, all wrong. Facts have proved that Liu Zhi, who looks like the most foolish in the world, is actually the most powerful wise man.Soon, he will prove to the world that he is not a sheep, but a master hunter who is good at hunting;At that time, everyone in the world thought that everything about the Han Dynasty seemed to be in the hands of Liang Ji alone, but in fact, everything was in the hands of Liu Zhi alone, including Liang Ji.

What a terrible person this is, but everyone has missed it. The sheep haven’t been killed, maybe the sheep breeder thinks the sheep are not fat enough; the hunter waited for a long time, and didn’t shoot the prey, not out of kindness, but because the best time has not come yet. In the same way, Liu Zhi hasn't done anything to Liang Ji yet, not because of anything else, but because he thinks this sheep is not fat enough.Therefore, in the future, he will work hard to increase the grass and continue to praise and kill Liang Ji. One month after Yang Bing played, Liu Zhi convened a ministerial meeting and said that Liang Ji should be respected.As soon as the emperor opened his mouth, the three princes of the Han Dynasty cooperated very much. The Shangzuo asked for credit for Liang Ji, and offered several projects: Liang Ji had meritorious service in welcoming the emperor back then, and he should add another 13,000 fiefs. His son Liang Yin should also within the scope of the reward.

Without further ado, Liu Zhi approved it. Then someone said: When Liang Ji entered the court, the emperor should approve him not to jog, to wear a sword, and not to take off his clogs, and the protocol officer could only call him his official title, not his name.The fiefdom should be compared with the founding father Deng Yu, and the rewards of money, chariots and horses should be compared with Huo Guang, the general of the Western Han Dynasty. Without further ado, Liu Zhi approved it again. It stands to reason that Liang Ji's life has reached its peak, and he should be content.However, after Liu Zhi's edict was issued, the old man looked at it and felt quite unhappy.The reason he was uncomfortable was that Liu Zhi hadn't done enough.

Is it really not enough? Xiao He, the founding father of the Western Han Dynasty, enjoyed the highest treatment in the Han Dynasty. Liu Bang let him enter the court and walk on the sword, but he did not pay homage to him.Liang Ji enjoys praise and is not famous, which is a level higher than Xiao He.In addition, all the titles and expenses of Liang Ji have reached the standards of the ministers Deng Yu and Huo Guang. What is there to be dissatisfied with? Let me answer this question for Liang Ji. Looking at the history of relatives in the Han Dynasty, he has indeed not yet reached the peak, and there is one who still stands above him. This person is Wang Mang, a relative in the late Western Han Dynasty.Back then, the emperor gave Wang Mang a very important treatment in addition to what Liang Ji had above: adding nine tins.

Anyone who is familiar with Chinese history knows that adding Jiuxi is not an auspicious thing for the royal family.Because this means that the power of the royal family is weak, and others are about to demolish them.That's what Wang Mang did, climbing step by step, and finally climbed to shit on the emperor's head and changed the dynasty. Desires are hard to fill, boundless, scary. AD 159, summer, July 8th.For Liang Ji, a very important woman in the world left him, which would change his fate from then on. The woman who just died was Liang Ji's younger sister, Queen Liang. For this day, Liu Zhi has waited too long, too long.Because of this woman, he almost lost all the fun and dignity of being a man.Empress Liang has the same virtue as her elder brother Liang Ji, but because she has no children, her personality has been seriously distorted.All the women who fell in love with Liu Zhi were hit by her one by one, and she would not let go of those who were pregnant with Liu Zhi's child, and no one escaped her murderous hands.

There is Liang Ji outside the palace, and Queen Liang inside the palace. The Liang brothers and sisters are like two big mountains, weighing down Liu Zhi's resentment and anger.Now that one of them had fallen, he could finally catch his breath. Suddenly, a bad premonition jumped into Liang Ji's heart. This year, Liu Zhicai is twenty-eight years old, his wings are getting harder and harder, and he will have a new queen.With a new queen, there will be a new relative on the stage, and he, an old relative, will have to step down.If you don't grasp it well, you will end up with an abnormal death.

No!This is definitely not the time to sit and wait.Even if I only have one breath, I will stretch out my strong hand and hold the God of Death by the throat. Sure enough, Liang Ji stretched out his evil hand again. If he wants to strangle the god of death, he must first strangle the power of the Eastern Han Dynasty.To hold back power, the emperor Liu Zhi must be emptied, and to deal with the son-in-law of the Liang family, he must win over the eunuch.As a result, the imperial palace was full of gangsters, and the monitoring of Liu Zhi was strengthened. Liu Zhi's every move could not escape his eyes.

On the surface, Liu Zhi was hijacked by Liang Ji.During the New Year and festivals, the items and properties that the localities pay tribute to the central government must be inspected by Liang Ji before they can be presented to the emperor.The result of this is that Liang Ji stopped and kept all the good things handed in, and Liu Zhi only enjoyed the second-class ones. In addition, all official transfers in the Han Dynasty had to be approved by Liang Ji. Officials who were promoted or transferred had to report to his home before taking office, and then they dared to go to Shangshu to listen to instructions. Of course, there are some officials who don't accept Liang Ji's tricks, but the price is very serious. They are either poisoned to death or beaten to death, and there is no escape.Under the sky of the Han Dynasty, Liang Ji was able to cover the sky with one hand, but no one expected that the more twisted he was, the more insecure he became. Because, he heard that Liu Zhi was going to be named a new queen. The woman Liu Zhi fell in love with was Deng Meng, a nobleman at that time, and a descendant of Deng Yu's family. However, behind Deng Meng's success, there is also a contribution from the Liang family.The situation is basically like this: Deng Meng's father died early, and his mother Xuan remarried to Liang's family. Liang Ji's wife, Sun Shou, saw that Deng Meng was as beautiful as a flower, so she was sent to the palace, and soon she was sealed by Liu Zhi. For noble people. Liang Ji thought that since Deng Meng came to the Liang family with his mother, he should change her surname to Liang, and he should prepare to recognize her as his daughter.However, Liang Ji's plan was strongly opposed by the Deng family. Liang Ji wants to recognize Deng Meng, the purpose is self-evident, but he only cares about having fun, but forgets a basic bottom line. First of all, from the point of view of the ethical relationship, Deng Meng and Liang Ji are cousins, and when Liang Ji closed his eyes, he recognized his cousin as his daughter. Isn't this nonsense?Secondly, Liang Ji will completely remove Deng Meng from the Deng family, and completely transform the Liang family, so the Deng family can only watch you take advantage of it? So from these two points of view, it is reasonable for the Deng family to oppose Liang Ji.However, Liang Ji didn't see it that way.Everyone in the Han Dynasty knew that he was famous for being a hooligan. To reason with hooligans, isn't that playing the piano with a cow?As the old saying goes, those who stand in my way die. Next, Liang Ji liquidated the opponents of the Deng family one by one. Deng Meng's brother-in-law Bing Zun, who was Yilang at the time, was the loudest in opposition.It was he who persuaded Deng Meng's mother to reject Liang Ji, which muddied the waters.To deal with this kind of enemy, Liang Ji was very good at it, and directly sent an assassin to ambush him. The second is to assassinate Deng Meng's mother. We have no way of knowing Deng Meng's mother's last name, we only know her name is Xuan.Women don't like to go out, Liang Ji's assassins can only find the door and come up.But Liang Ji didn't expect that he would miss this time. The Xuan family was next to Yuan She's family, and the assassin didn't just jump onto the roof of the Xuan family, but actually jumped onto the house of the Yuan family, planning to jump to the Xuan family.This guy is not good at martial arts, after he jumped on the roof of Yuan's house, when he was about to jump to Xuan's house, he was discovered by Yuan's guards.Immediately afterwards, gongs and drums rang out, and someone rushed to notify Xuan. When Xuan heard the information, he was so frightened that his soul would fly. He ran away that night, all the way into the palace, and told Liu Zhi that there was an assassin who wanted to kill me. Liu Zhi trembled when he heard it.He knew that this assassin must have been sent by Liang Ji.However, he did not lose his mind and jump up and make a scene.After a while, he pretended to be nonchalant and went to the toilet. Liu Zhi didn't really want to go to the toilet, but wanted to avoid Liang Ji's eyes and ears. As mentioned earlier, Liang Ji had placed many spies in the palace, and Liu Zhi's every move was within their observation range.At that time, there were no cameras, no monitors, and only the toilet was the blind spot for their surveillance. Liu Zhi wanted to meet someone in Liang Ji's blind spot.This person is Tang Heng, the little yellow family who is dedicated to serving him.He called Tang Heng to the toilet alone, and asked straight to the point: "Among the palace guards, who else can't get along with the Liang family?" Tang Heng replied: "There are four people. They are Zhongchang servant Shan Chao, Xiao Huangmen Shi Zuoji, Zhongchang servant Xu Huang, and Huangmen Ling Juyuan." Liu Zhi went on to say, "You call me Shan Chao and Zuo Bin first." The sheep are fattened, and it's time to pull them out and kill them; the prey has entered the hunting range, and now it's time to pull the trigger.After a while, the two came in.Liu Zhi said: "General Liang is domineering and domineering, causing the world to be full of resentment. He dares to hate but not dare to be angry. I am going to take the Liang family away. What do you think?" Shan Chao said, "Liang Ji should have been killed a long time ago, but our strength is too weak. What's your majesty's plan?" Liu Zhi said: "I think it's time for a secret operation to kill Liang Ji." Shan Chao said: "Of course it's not difficult to operate secretly. I'm afraid that His Majesty will hesitate and repent temporarily, and that's over." Liu Zhi said decisively: "Facing such treacherous ministers, why should I hesitate?" After Liu Zhi finished speaking, he called Xu Huang and Gu Yuan in again.In the end, Liu Zhi bit off Shan Chao's arm, and made an alliance with blood.After the matter is over, it is agreed that this matter will not be brought up at will again, wait for the opportunity, and then proceed. However, Liu Zhi's top-secret action still aroused Liang Ji's suspicion. You know, it's probably the first time that Liang Ji has engaged in assassinations. Even he himself doesn't know how many times this is.Back to success, only this time missed.A miss has caused eternal hatred, he has no regrets now, but rather puzzled. What he wondered was that Liu Zhi's mother-in-law Xuan was the one he assassinated, and Xuan also ran to complain, but Liu Zhi didn't make any movement.There is no movement, and that is the most terrible thing, just like the terrible silence on the eve of the storm.Therefore, Liang Ji firmly believes that there must be fraud in this. On August 10th, an unexpected visitor came to the palace and was about to be stationed in the palace on duty.This man's name is Zhang Yun, and he belongs to Zhonghuangmen.The on-duty is false, but the real situation is that Liang Ji sent him to spy on intelligence, and he was stationed in the palace to prevent problems before they happened. When the news came, the five eunuchs who were concentric with Liu Zhi were the first to be shocked.They met urgently and finally made a risky decision-kill without mercy. Gu Yuan ordered Zhang Yun to be arrested, and the charges were high-sounding. He said that Zhang Yun came from outside the palace and wanted to enter the palace suddenly, plotting wrongdoing. At this time, Liu Zhi also acted. He came to the front hall, summoned Shangshu, and announced his decision to fight Liang Ji.Shang Shuling ordered all subordinates to unite and guard the secretariat.Then, Liu Zhi sent Gu Yuan to recruit the Huben guards, a total of more than 1,000 people, to attack Liang Ji's mansion and surround them all. When the Liang Mansion was just besieged, Guang Luxun came to speak out of the festival, saying that he was ordered by the emperor to confiscate the seal of General Liang Ji and change him to Bijingdu Township. Liang Ji was completely stunned. The height of the devil is one foot, and the height of the Tao is one foot. In the hunting ground of life, he thought he was the master of all things, but in the end he realized that he was just Liu Zhi's fat prey. Now that the play has come to this point, you can guess what the following results are.The Liang family and Liang Ji's wife's Sun family, regardless of gender, age or age, were dragged to Luoyang City and beheaded collectively.In addition, the two thousand stone high-ranking officials who were on Liang Ji's thigh were all killed. When the news came out, Luoyang City was full of jubilation, as if seeing the sun behind the clouds.Liu Zhi confiscated Liang Ji's property, worth more than three billion yuan, and filled the national treasury.In order to celebrate the victory, the national tax was ordered to be reduced by half, and all the manors of Liang Ji were distributed to the poor for farming. On August 15th, Liu Zhi made Deng Meng queen. Liu Zhi finally waited for this day.It's like the beast is out of the cage and the bird is back in the forest. I feel very happy.What a day to look forward to. He has reason to believe that tomorrow, tomorrow's tomorrow, the sun of the Han Dynasty will still be brilliant.
