When we say "Li Du", we immediately think of Li Bai and Du Fu, or Li Shangyin and Du Mu, which later generations call Li Du. In fact, in the Eastern Han Dynasty, there were also two pairs of "Li Du", the great Li Du referring to the taiwei Li Gu and the taiwei Duqiao, who were killed in the struggle with their foreign relative Liang Ji; and the little Li Du referred to Li Yi and Du Mi, who were killed in the struggle with the eunuchs. Once defeated by foreign relatives and then defeated by eunuchs, the scholars and masters in the middle and late Eastern Han Dynasty lost their dignity, and a large number of tail-wagging elements and bureaucratic giants emerged, for example, Hu Guang, the elder of the Six Dynasties, was the most "outstanding" representative, who did nothing but be officials. Hu Guang's deeds, we will talk about it later, this time, talk about the fourth in the series of scholars who played with children's disasters -- Tai Wei Du Qiao.
[Sometimes, our brothers and sons are really not the protagonists]
Du Qiao, Zi Shu Rong, a native of Hanoi (Wuzhi County, Henan Province), came from a family of officials and eunuchs, and although his family did not have three dukes, each generation had officials of the rank of 2,000 stones. Du Qiao loved to learn from an early age, in addition to the basic subjects such as "Book of Poetry" and "Shang Shu", he was also familiar with "Jingshi Yi", and he had to play with one hand. When Du Qiao was very young, he went to Situ Yang Zhenfu as a cadre. After that, he went through The Taishou of Nan Commandery (Jiangling County, Hubei Province) and the Prime Minister of the East China Sea State, and returned to Chaoli as a servant (court retinue).
In August 142, the imperial court sent eight able officials to inspect the world, praise the meritocracy, recommend zhongliang, and allow the use of stagecoaches to deliver impeachment medals to the central government for those who were corrupt and perverted the law, assassins and Taishou, and officials of the two thousand stones level; the county ordered lower-ranking officials below the county to allow direct arrest and trial. These eight people are all temporary talents, known as "eight jun".
Du Qiao was one of the Eight Jun, who inspected Yanzhou (western Shandong Province) as a Guanglu Doctor, and reported to Emperor Shun's Liu Bao project, recommending Taishou Li Gu of Taishan Commandery (tai'an City, Shandong Province) to be the first in the world; Chen Liu County (Chen Liu Town, southeast of Kaifeng City, Henan Province) Taishou Liang Rang, Jiyin County (Dingtao County, Shandong Province) Taishou Fenggong (汜汜宫) (汜讀如四), Jibei State (capital Lu County, Shandong Province Changqing County) Prime Minister Cui Yu (read Ruyuan) and other corrupt people.
[Du Shizhong: I'm not in the same group, I'm very suspicious!] 】
Liang Rang was the uncle of the great general Liang Ji, and both GongGong and Cui Yi were admired by Liang Ji (sic: Gong and Ji were both good). After the inspection, Du Qiao was appointed Crown Prince Taifu and later transferred to the Position of Grand Si Nong.
Yi Zhilu said: Earlier we analyzed, Du Qiao and Li Gu are together, Du Qiao played Li Gu's political achievements first in the world, and it didn't take long for Li Gu to repay Li with a peach, please reuse Du Qiao. It is normal for one's own people to blow trumpets and lift palanquins, and competitors to crack down on dismantling taiwan. However, Du Qiao's report that Cui Yu had embezzled tens of millions of dollars was purely a framing. Let's take a look at Cui Yiqi.
Cui Yu also came from a family of official eunuchs. Cui Yu was very knowledgeable, and he was proficient in the heavenly officials, the calendar numbers, the Jingshi Yi, the six days and seven points, and these mysterious learnings. However, Cui Yu's career was not smooth, and when he was in his forties, he followed Empress Deng's elder brother and the General Deng Zunchao of Duliao, and after Empress Deng's death, Emperor An Liu Hu was pro-government, Deng Zun was killed, and Cui Yu had to go home.
The Tang clan's foreign relatives were destroyed, and the Yan's foreign relatives sat on the throne. Cui Yu also served under Empress Yan's elder brother and che general Yan Xian. In 125 AD, Emperor An died, and the Yan brothers and sisters refused to make Liu Hu's own son Liu Bao emperor, and a group of eunuchs led by Zhongchang's attendant Sun Cheng launched a coup d'état and made Liu Bao emperor, for the sake of Emperor Shun of Han, and immediately put the old Yan family under siege.
This unfortunate Cui Zhen, with the Deng clan, the Deng clan was exterminated; with the Yan clan, the Yan clan was exterminated again, and Cui Yan's sky was gray. In fact, Cui Yan had already seen that the Yan family might be doomed, and he could not reach Yan Xian, so he suggested to The Elder Shi Chen Chan that it was best to persuade the old Yan family to establish Liu Bao as emperor, otherwise there might be a big disaster. Chen Chan thought about it and did not dare to mention it to Yan Xian. After Sun Cheng and others launched a coup d'état, Yan's family was killed, and Cui Yu was unemployed again. Chen Chan, who was a lieutenant colonel at this time, said to Cui Yan, you write a sonata to explain to the emperor that you were the emperor's person early on, and I can testify for you. Cui Yan's face was not thick enough, and she refused to carry forward the style of praise and self-praise, and went home to wait for work.
In 135 AD, Empress Liang's father, Liang Shang, became a general, set up a shogunate, and conscripted Cui Zhen. Cui Yu pondered, first with the old Deng family, and then with the old Yan family, the career was basically all destroyed on the foreign relatives, although the old Liang family threw an olive branch, but maybe one day the child fell, and then folded himself into it, so, on the grounds that he was ill, he did not apply. Later, Cui Yan was promoted to Maocai, and became the county commander of Ji County, and worked for seven years, and the governance was very good, and the people had a good reputation.
[Cui Daru, the official fortune is not good]
In 142 AD, The Great Si Nong Hu Guang and the Shaofu Dou Zhang jointly recommended Cui Yu as the Great Confucian of Sude, so they were promoted to the position of Prime Minister of the State of Jibei, and before their ass was hot, they caught up with Du Qiao to come to inspect. According to the theory, Cui Zaixiang's character and official morality were very good, and even Li Gu, who was the Taishou of Taishan at the time, admired him. Although Cui Yu did not serve in the shogunate of the great general Liang Shang in that year, but Liang Shang admired him very much, after Liang Shang's death, his son Liang Ji took over as a great general, which we have mentioned earlier, known as the general of The Great General, the history books even said that he poisoned the Han Emperor Liu Jiao (read like a drill, Shangsheng), Li Gu, Du Qiao and others, and Liang Ji are in the same water and fire. Good to die, Liang Ji also admires Cui Yi very much, the enemy's enemy is a friend, the enemy's friend is the enemy, since Liang Ji appreciates Cui Yi, Du Qiao will do Cui Yi, and play Cui Zaixiang for embezzlement. Cui Yu was escorted to Tingwei (Ministry of Justice), wrote a letter of defense, and then released him without real evidence, and then died of illness at the age of sixty-six.
Yi Zhilu said: Cui Zhen is purely lying gun. The Scholar Group hates Liang Ji to the bone, but anyone who has nothing to do with Liang Ji will be resolutely cracked down on. According to the "Later Han Book of Cui Yao's Biography", both The Palace of Qi and Cui Yu are good. That is to say, Liang Ji may have praised Cui Ji on some occasions, or expressed his appreciation for Cui Yi to some people, so in Du Qiao's heart, Cui Ji was Liang Ji's henchman and must be killed. From here, we can see that the internal division of the scholar group is also clear-cut, and the struggle between different factions and different lines is also quite cruel. Cui Yu's two best brothers, one is Fufeng Ma Rong, the other is Nanyang Zhang Heng, these two are also the great Confucians at that time, both are proficient in the study of disasters, but they are not very smooth in their careers, and the officials are not worth mentioning. Obviously, they were not in the same group as Li Gu and Du Qiao, and they couldn't look at each other.
At this time, Liang Ji's five sons and daughters and Zhongchang attendants had no merit, but they were rewarded, and Du Qiao wrote to say that the Liang family and the eunuchs were all scourges, and the emperor should not always give them rewards, and in the long run, it was enough to lose the country, and it was worth vigilance!
Playing, Liu Bao did not take care of it.
In August 144, the Shun Emperor Liu Bao died, and the crown prince Liu Bing succeeded him as Emperor Chong, at the age of two. Empress Liang was promoted to Empress Dowager Liang and presided over government affairs
In 145 AD, in the first month of the first month, Liu Bing died, and Liu Hong,Liu Hong,the son of Liu Hong (劉缵), the son of Liu Hong (劉缵), the son of Liu Hong ( Li Bohai ) ( ) was made emperor by emperor , at the age of eight.
【Made of gold, heartwarming ah】
Liu Junshi, the Taishou of Yongchang Commandery (Baoshan City, Yunnan Province), gave Liang Ji a golden snake, which was discovered by Yizhou (Sichuan Province and Yunnan Province) and sent someone to arrest Liu Junshi and send the impeachment book to Luoyang, the capital city, in a stagecoach, and the golden snake to Sinong's warehouse for storage. Liang Ji heard that Liu Junshi had sent him a golden snake, so he borrowed it from du qiao, the then grand master, to see it. Unexpectedly rejected by Du Qiao, Liang Ji touched a nose of ash and was very annoyed.
Later, Duccio was reappointed as the Head of the Clan Affairs (胪胪) instead. At this time, Liang Ji's younger daughter died, and the secretary of state went to the funeral, but Du Qiao did not go alone, and Liang Ji was angry.
Later, Duccio was reappointed as Guangluxun (commander of the palace janissaries), and in 147 AD, he was promoted to lieutenant.
Yi Zhilu said: In 146 AD, the historical emperor Liu Miao was poisoned by Liang Ji. Subsequently, The Liang brothers and sisters made Liu Zhi the Marquis of Liwu emperor, and was ruled by Empress Dowager Liang for Emperor Huan (for details, see the humble text "The General Liang Ji of the Imperial Guard: Killing the Han Emperor Liu Zhi and Killing the Eunuch Li Gu"). Li Gu (李固), the prince of Qinghe, was removed from his post for supporting Liu Garlic the Prince of Qinghe as emperor, and Situ Huguang took over as a lieutenant. In 147, Hu Guang was removed from his post and Du Qiao succeeded him as a lieutenant. Du Qiao and Liang Ji were in the same situation, but they were appointed as the first lieutenants of the Three Dukes, which seems to indicate that Empress Liang did not fully obey the orders of her elder brother Liang Ji, and that she still trusted Du Qiao more.
Since Li Gu was deposed, the imperial court was depressed inside and outside the court, and hundreds of officials were afraid, and neither dared to be angry nor dare to speak out against Liang Ji. Only Ducho, who maintains a righteous spirit, still goes his own way.
On August 18, Liu Zhi made Liang Ji's sister empress (Liang Ji's two younger sisters, one was empress of Liu Bao of the Shun Emperor and the other was empress of Liu Zhi of the Huan Emperor). Liang Ji wanted to use a solemn ceremony, and Liu Zhi personally went to Liang's house to greet his relatives. Duccio firmly opposed it on the grounds that there was no precedent, based on the old canon. Liang Ji also asked Du Qiao to recommend Feng Gong as Shangshu, and Du Qiao said that Feng Gong was a corrupt criminal, and it would be good if I didn't arrest him, and I would also recommend him, no way! The beams of the two men are getting deeper and deeper.
On September 21, the Kyoshi earthquake struck, and Duccio took responsibility and was dismissed from his post.
In October, Situ Zhao Jie was promoted to Taiwei, Sikong Yuan Tang was promoted to Situ, and former Taiwei Hu Guang was promoted to Sikong.
The eunuchs Tang Heng, Zuo Yi (pronounced Ruguan), and others jointly framed Du Qiao in front of Liu Zhi and said:
At first, Du Qiao and Li Gu were firmly opposed to the emperor's succession to the throne, saying that you were not worthy of the Ancestral Temple of the Han Dynasty.
Liu Zhi hated Du Qiao into the bone marrow.
[Liu Zhi: The True Dragon Heavenly Son]
In November, Liu Wen ( Liu Wen ) of Qinghe ( Wei Commandery ) ( Southwest Yi Town , Linzhang County , Hebei Province ) planned to make Liu Wei the Son of Heaven , but the plot leaked out , and the two were executed. Relevant officials impeached Liu Garlic, Liu Zhi demoted Liu Garlic as the Marquis of Weishi, and exiled to Guiyang (Chenzhou City, Hunan Province), where Liu Garlic committed suicide. Liang Ji instructed people to impeach Du Qiao, Li Gu, and Liu Kun for colluding with each other and demanded that they be brought to justice. Li Gu was arrested and died in prison. Empress Dowager Liang trusted Du Qiao and only removed him from his post, but did not go to prison. Liang Ji sent someone to tell Du Qiao that committing suicide as soon as possible can ensure that your wife does not die. Ducho refused. Liang Ji sent soldiers to capture Du Qiao, threw him into prison, and tortured him to death.
Yi Zhilu said: The death of Li Gu and Du Qiao is a landmark event in which the Shi Dafu clique completely defeated the foreign relatives group. In the following ten years, Liang Ji called the wind and rain, the power was monstrous, and created a new height for foreign relatives to come to power. In the case of the collective aphasia of the Shi dafu clique, in order to compete with Liang Ji, the Huan Emperor Liu Zhi set his sights on another political force, the eunuch clique.
