In the second year of Jianning, Zhang Jian, governor of Shanyang County, impeached Hou Lan, a regular servant in the middle school, saying that he was extravagant and wasteful when he went home to sweep the tomb, disturbing the people wantonly, and demolished Hou Lan's house first and then.
Chapter 115 Hanling Emperor Liu Hong
This person is indeed courageous, so Hou Lan was naturally unwilling, and he also told Liu Hong that Zhang Jian was forming a party for personal gain.
Political rookie Liu Hong ran out of ideas, so he consulted another eunuch, Cao Jie, how to deal with this matter.
Ask the eunuch how to deal with the matter, so there is no need to say more about it.
As a result, the second disaster of party imprisonment occurred, and as many as 700 literati were persecuted to death by eunuchs.
In the second year of Liu Hong's reign as emperor, he entered the period of eunuch dictatorship.
In the middle and late Eastern Han Dynasty, we are all familiar with the fact that foreign relatives and eunuchs alternately controlled the government.
When the emperor was young, the queen mother relied on the powerful descendants to control the government. When the little emperor became an adult, he relied on the eunuchs to divide the power of the descendants, and the eunuchs gradually became bigger.
But when Liu Hong came here, he had not yet grown up, and the power was in the hands of the eunuchs, which also opened the longest eunuch monopoly in the Eastern Han Dynasty.
The eunuch's power at this time is unprecedented, and only those in the late Tang Dynasty can match it.
When the little emperor arrived in Luoyang, he was not familiar with the place. In addition, the party struggle and bloody killings in the early years of his reign made him not very interested in state affairs.
Gradually, Liu Hong was addicted to wine and sex, and ignored the government affairs. The eunuchs became more and more powerful, and the country became more and more chaotic.
Liu Hong actually said such bastard words as "Zhang Changshi is my father and Zhao Changshi is my mother".
With the tacit consent of the emperor, the eunuchs amassed money wantonly, and the slaves of the eunuch's housekeepers and directors could actually "transport goods and bribes, and their appearance is magnificent", and the relatives of the eunuchs "are greedy and crippled, and they are molested by others."
The houses built by the eunuchs in Luoyang were all built in imitation of the imperial palace. Because they were afraid of being discovered by the Han Lingdi, the eunuchs always told the Han Lingdi that they could not climb high, and the people would disperse if they climbed high.
The public has 1000 million yuan, and the Qing has 500 million yuan.
Other official positions are also priced differently according to their grades.
Cui Lie, a celebrity, actually spent 500 million yuan to be promoted from Ting Wei to Situ in order to be promoted. The world was shocked.
However, the official sellers, Liu Hong and Cui Lie, felt aggrieved in their hearts.
After the former was sold out, he regretted it, because he thought he could have sold it for 1000 million yuan, but he lost money.
But Cui Lie felt that his official position was not right, so he asked his son, what does the world say about me being a Sangong?
His son said in particular with disdain: "The commentators think it smells like copper."
In this way, a celebrity with the same name in Beizhou has turned into a mediocre person covered in copper stink, which is really not worth the candle.
In the fourth year of Xiping, Liu Hong issued an order that "eunuchs can make orders", which means that eunuchs can enter the court and make decisions on state affairs together with literati and officials.
With such a foolish decision and such a mediocre emperor, the dynasty is likely to perish within a short time.
The emperor sells his officials, the eunuchs are greedy for ink, and the officials are covered with copper stink. In such a smoky court, one can imagine the chaos in the place.
Local officials, lazy in administration and proficient in profit-seeking, often take the lead in breaking the law, colluding with local tyrants and evil gentry, and harming the people.
According to historical records, "Government orders are dirty, and top and bottom are slack."
What is even more frightening is that for their own promotion, local officials often falsely report political achievements, lie about disasters, conceal land acquisitions, and impose taxes on small farmers.
Perhaps, God bless the big man, he also happened to encounter several very serious catastrophes at this time.
Farmers who depended on the sky for food had to deal with the exploitation of local officials and tyrants on the one hand, and suffered from floods and droughts on the other.
Under such difficulties, the common people could only rise up. The very famous Yellow Turban Army uprising took place during this time period.
In fact, the land policy of the Eastern Han Dynasty, which did not suppress mergers, had already dealt a blow to the small peasant economy. Coupled with natural and man-made disasters, the people who could not survive had to embark on the road of exile.
Emperor Han Ling also believed in such a bastard logic.
After handing over the government, Liu Hong indulged in his gentle hometown as he wished.
There are more than thousands of women in Liu Hong's harem, and the expenses for food and clothing are as high as thousands of gold every day.
Such expenses made the treasury, which was not already rich, even worse. It was also thanks to Liu Hong that he could figure out that in order to make up for the emptiness of the treasury, he actually sold officials to buy nobles.
The blue sky is dead, and the yellow sky should stand.
However, lucky Liu Hong did not witness the demise of the dynasty.
With the efforts of Huangfusong and others, the uprising of the Yellow Turban Army was put down.
It is Liu Hong's greatest luck not to be the king of subjugation.
In April of the sixth year of Zhongping, Liu Hong, who was terminally ill, died at the age of 33.
Before his death, he wanted to make his youngest son Liu Xie emperor, but because the eldest son Liu Bian relied on his mother and the powerful strength of his relatives, the He clan, Liu Hong did not get what he wanted and died with hatred.
However, it is also destined that Liu Xie will be the emperor.
Liu Bian's uncle, General He Jin, transferred Xiliang Dong Zhuo to the capital in order to deal with the eunuchs. Unexpectedly, He Jin was killed before Dong Zhuo arrived.
After that, Dong Zhuo killed all the eunuchs, looked at the cowardly Liu Bian, decided to abolish the emperor, and made Liu Xie the emperor, which also opened the sad and pitiful life of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty.
Although Dong Zhuo helped Liu Hong realize his wish, Dong Zhuo's evaluation of Liu Hong was also very low.
The lord of the world deserves to be sage, every time he thinks about Emperor Ling, it makes people angry!
The video playback ends here.
The emperors of all dynasties couldn't help shaking their heads when they saw this scene.
Great Qin.
"Emperor Han Ling is not a high-level person, he is considered a mediocre monarch."
After Qin Shihuang Yingzheng watched the video, he commented like this.
Big man.
"I don't want to say anything anymore."
"The Han Dynasty died in the hands of this person."
"It's not a pity that he died."
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che gritted his teeth and said.
Datang.
