Since ancient times, many unrighteous deeds will kill themselves, and those who have supreme power will only do evil, and too arrogant and arrogant will sooner or later arouse the anger of heaven and people, and the end will be sad.
Liang Ji, a native of the Eastern Han Dynasty's Tianding Wu clan [present-day Pingliang, Gansu], his father held an important position, two younger sisters entered the imperial palace at the same time, Liang Fei, who was favored by the emperor, was crowned empress at the age of 17, and his sister became an empress, and the family followed the light, and Liang Ji, the brother-in-law of the Han Shun Emperor, was given the title of infantry lieutenant, and Liang Ji held his father's power and position, and acted recklessly all day long, bullying the people.
In 141 AD, the great general Liang Shang died, and Liang Jizi took over his father's office, instantly ranking above ten thousand people under one person of high power, and at this time he was even more unscrupulous and bullying. Three years later, when Emperor Shun traveled west, Liang Ji put his two-year-old child Emperor Han Chong on the throne, and empress dowager Liang Fei came to listen to the government, and the two-year-old child was just a puppet, and Liang Ji had the final say in major state affairs, and after a few months, the little child went to heaven. After Emperor Chong's death, liang ji, in order to better control the government, the eight-year-old Liu Yi was honored to be elected emperor. Although Liu Yi was young, he knew that the great general Liang Ji had committed wrongdoing, but in the end it was because he was young and did not know that Mingzhe was defending himself and saying that the great general was stubborn and was poisoned by Liang Ji. The two little children said goodbye to the world before they had time to take a good look at the world.
Liu Zhi was favored by Empress Liang because of his beautiful appearance, and he was bent on marrying his sister to him, at this time, the imperial throne was empty, Liu Zhi was forcibly promoted to the throne, and Liang Ji once again became the emperor's brother-in-law. As a great general, Liang Ji did not seek the well-being of the country, but he became more and more greedy, plundering the people's wealth and robbing them by force. Some people who want to be officials can be officials as long as they give him rich money, and those who break the law can be acquitted as long as they give Liang Ji enough money, Liang Ji's hand reaches out to those rich merchants, he orders people to record those rich people in the register, put them in jail for trumped-up charges, spend money to save their lives, and there are also those who are bold and unyielding, and who spare their lives like gold.
Sun Fen's family was very rich, Liang Ji pretended to send a horse to Sun Fen, and then borrowed money from him, Sun Fen knew in his heart that Liang Ji only asked for it in the name of borrowing, and in desperation, he only gave Liang Ji half, Liang Ji saw that someone actually disobeyed himself, so he framed Sun Fen's mother for stealing a lot of pearls from the Liang family and asked him to return them twice, Sun Fen argued on the basis of reason, and as a result, he was killed, and after Sun Fen's death, the family wealth fell into Liang Ji's hands. Liang Ji forcibly seized through illegal means, the property was huge and rich enough to rival the country, but he was still not satisfied, and he built a lot of civil engineering to build pavilions and pavilions, which was not to be counted, he wanted to enjoy the same treatment as the emperor, he occupied a large area of peasant land to build gardens, and the people who lost their land could not survive and had to sell themselves into slavery, and it is said that there were many people who sold themselves at that time. Liang Ji especially liked the white rabbit, he asked him to offer a variety of small white rabbits to him, a merchant accidentally injured a rabbit, Liang Ji knew and ordered his men to kill the merchant and more than 20 people associated with the merchant.
Liang Ji's behavior had already made Emperor Huan of Han deeply resentful, but he had just ascended to the throne, and the power was left to himself to take the great general' way, so he threw himself into his favor to give the fief a lot of money, and also sealed Liang Ji's wife and gave the princess treatment. The country was in a state of chaos and loyal subjects, when the sage Li Gu, Du Qiao, because he did not collude with Liang Ji, so he always wanted to get rid of the two, Du Qiao was saved by Empress Liang, and Li Gu was imprisoned. Li Gu was originally a magi, and his affairs in prison were known to his students, many people carried the gate to the gate of the palace to ask for release, and the crowds of people watching were even more crowded, and Empress Liang saw that things were out of control, so she had to order Li Gu to be released. When Liang Ji saw that Li Gu was released, he was full of anger, and in spite of the mouths of the people, he sent people to arrest Li Gu again, and Li Gu wrote a letter to the ruling minister and was arrested, and died in prison the next day. Li Gu died, Liang Ji also wanted to get rid of Du Qiao to be at ease, and forced Du Qiao to commit suicide at night, and the next day he did not see anyone in the Du family die, and he arrested Du Qiao at night and forced him to die in the cell. A few days later, Li Du and his wife were violently killed by Liang Ji, and the imperial city was miserable under the roots, and the students returned to their hometowns to temporarily take shelter in order to avoid persecution.
Liang Ji's evil deeds showed that the people's grievances were boiling, and Emperor Huan of Han had long been dissatisfied with Liang Ji, and discussed with several ministers of the imperial court to get rid of Liang Ji, but before Emperor Huan of Han could act, he was discovered by Liang Ji, and Liang Ji sent his cronies to the palace to work at night, which was actually a surveillance. According to the rules, the new duty personnel must be approved by the emperor, liang Ji believed that emperor Huan of Han was weak, so he arranged his cronies to the palace without the emperor's consent, and emperor Huan of Han was worried that he would not have a chance to remove Liang Ji, and ordered people to arrest Liang Ji's cronies and give him a crime of plotting to rebel against the emperor. Liang Ji saw that the Royal Forest Army had come to arrest him, and was so frightened that he and his wife both committed suicide, and the entire Liang clan was beheaded by the door.
As a great general, Liang Ji took people's lives, harmed the township, was full of evil, and eventually harmed others and himself, and died a lot.
