During the reign of Emperor Shun of Han, Empress Liang's father Liang Shang (梁商) was a general, and his cousin Liang gradually gained strength.
However, Liang Shang himself did not bully others, but was humble and cautious, dedicated to his duties, able to do his best, and concerned about the well-being of the people.
However, his son, Liang Ji, the brother of Empress Dowager Liang, was overbearing and fierce.
After the death of Emperor Shun of Han, his son Liu Bing succeeded him as Emperor Chong of Han, who was young and was regent by Empress Dowager Liang.
Liang Shang also died long ago, and Liang Ji took over as a general, at this time Empress Liang was the regent of the dynasty, and Liang Ji was even more in charge of the government and acted arbitrarily.
Liang Ji actually did not meet the standards of his own hardware, and the record said that he was "a kite-shouldered jackal", which means that the shoulders are shrugged like the wings of an eagle, and the eyes look like a jackal, looking at people directly, there is no brilliance at all; his speech is vague, and he will only copy and write an account.
Because he was a relative of the emperor and the state since he was a child, he was idle and leisurely, and he loved to drink, shoot archery, gamble, fight cocks and so on.
That is to say, except for the government is not good at it, everything else is good at it.
It's the same as when we say today that children are not good at learning, everything else is good.
Liang Ji began as a Henan Yin, equivalent to the mayor of the capital. But this man he will not be an official, all kinds of violations of the law, but he is fierce. We know that those who engage in politics must be ruthless, at least he has reached the standard.
During Liang Ji's tenure as Yin of Henan, his father Liang Shang was still there, and Lü Fang, a close confidant of Liang Shang, reported to Liang Shang a lot of bad things that Liang Ji had done.
Liang Ji harbored a grudge and found an opportunity to kill Lü Fang.
He also told his father Liang Shang that it was Lü Fang's enemy family who killed him, and asked Lü Fang's younger brother Lü Yu to take over Lü Fang's position.
The drama should be done in a full set, and he also said that he would help Lü Fang avenge and kill the clan of Lü Fang's enemies cleanly.
This is good, Liang Shang wants to pursue it and can't pursue it, the Lü Fang people are all dead, and who to confront.
Therefore, although Liang Ji is not good at handling political affairs, he is not ambiguous at all in engaging in conspiracies and tricks, and he is fierce and fierce, cutting the grass and removing the roots.
Before Liang Shang was buried, Emperor Shun of Han appointed Liang Ji as a general. This great general was a high official, above the three dukes, and Han Xin and Wei Qing had served as great generals before.
When Emperor Han Chong ascended the throne, he was only two years old, and what a two-year-old child could do, so his foreign relatives Empress Liang and Liang Ji controlled the government, and Liang Ji was even more flamboyant, extravagant and cruel, and the people did not have a good life.
A year later, Emperor Chong of Han died prematurely, and Liang Ji proclaimed Liu Hong, the son of Liu Hong, the Prince of Filial Piety of Bohai, as emperor.
When emperor Han was eight years old when he ascended the throne, he was intelligent by nature, but he did not know how to be patient, but it was normal to think of this age.
But it was this that brought him the misfortune of killing himself.
Because of his young age, Emperor Han was controlled by the Liang clan, which is why they supported Liu Wei.
Liang Ji was tyrannical and commanding in the court, and although Liu Ji was young, he also saw it in his eyes.
At one of the imperial meetings, in front of his courtiers, he called Liang Ji "This General of the Imperial Guard", expressing his dissatisfaction, and Liang Ji held a grudge in his heart.
Liang Ji saw that although Liu Miao was young, he was intelligent and precocious, and he was afraid of cleaning himself up when Liu Miao grew up, so he decided to kill Liu Miao.
Because the Liang clan controlled the government, Liu Ji naturally had close associates arranged by Liang Ji, and Liang Ji sent his cronies to add poison to the boiled cake that Liu Ji ate.
After Liu Miao ate the poisonous cake, the poison had stomach pain, summoned the lieutenant Li Gu into the palace, Li Gu asked Liu Miao the reason, at this time Liu Miao could still speak, he said: "I just ate the cake, my stomach hurts severely, give me water to drink."
But at this time, Liang Ji was also next to him, saying: "After drinking water, it is estimated that you will vomit, or do not drink."
Of course, Liang Ji would not let Liu Yi drink water, because the poison was his own.
So Liu Miao was poisoned by life.
Kangxi once commented on the Han Emperor Liu Miao: "The Han Emperor Chong Ling is in the imperial palace, can recognize liang ji's adultery, and is inherently intelligent. The first sight is that 'this general is also.' And so he was poisoned. Smart and not good at obscurity, enough to be harmful. ”
This means that although Liu Ji was young, he could see Liang Ji's adultery, quite clever, but did not understand Tao Guang yang obscure, called Liang Ji "General Of The Way", so he was poisoned.
Thinking that when the Han Xuan Emperor Liu Qing (Liu Yi had already) assumed the throne when Huo Guang was in power, Emperor Xuan of Han could not bear it and continued to tolerate Huo Guang's dictatorship, and after Huo Guang's death, he uprooted the Huo family.
After the death of Emperor Chong of Han, Liang Ji and the eunuch Cao Teng and others supported Liu Zhi, the grandson of Liu Kai, the Prince of Hejian, as emperor, which is the Han Huan Emperor in the "Table of Renunciation", "When the former emperor was present, whenever he discussed this matter with his subjects, he did not hesitate to sigh and hate Huan and Lingye".
After the Han Huan Emperor Liu Zhi ascended the throne, Liang Ji became even more unscrupulous, so Liu Zhi and five eunuchs allied themselves with blood, and in the name of Emperor Huan of Han, they summoned an army to besiege Liang Ji's general's mansion, Liang Ji committed suicide, and the Liang clan was wiped out.
Since then, this "general who poisoned the emperor" has finally stepped off the stage of history.
