After Zhao Kuangyin finished dealing with his brother Ni Qiang, he calmed down.
He looked at the video and shook his head.
"The emperors of the Eastern Han Dynasty were all young, and more than half of them were supported by their relatives.”
"No, this cannot happen in Great Song."
"The powerful officials of the Eastern Han Dynasty are all relatives and generals. There's no need to worry about this in the Great Song. It's not good for the court to be too weak after giving up military power with a cup of wine.”
"Since that's the case, then let's choose the most talented prince to teach. When he matures, he can ascend the throne.”
Zhu Yuanzhang laughed,
"Haha, the Han Dynasty's court system is not mature enough, which is why powerful officials are in power. In Great Ming, there is no such thing as poisoning the Young Emperor.”
"On the contrary, the Eastern Han emperors 'lifespans are actually so short. This is something that I didn't expect.”
Empress Ma smiled.
"He ascended the throne at a young age and held power in his hands. If he did not have a good education, he would definitely be addicted to women's games and neglect political affairs.”
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and sighed,
"That's right. Without enough determination and strategy, it's absolutely difficult to resist the invasion of power.”
"Emperor Han Zhao and Emperor Wu are only a minority.”
Three emperors had died in three years, which led to a huge loophole in the power of the court.
As early as the era of Emperor Shun, Liang Yi had been the general. After Emperor Zhi died, he supported Liu Zhi to become Emperor, which was Emperor Heng of the Han Dynasty.
At that time, there were two candidates for the throne.
One of them was the King of Qinghe, Liu Suan, and the other was Liu Zhi.
Liu Suan was older, intelligent and wise, and was elected by his political opponents. Naturally, he was not liked by Liang Yi.
However, Liu Zhi was different. He was only fifteen years old, much younger than garlic, and easier to control.
Liang Yi was powerful, and his sister was the Empress Dowager. Under the intervention of the Empress Dowager, Liu Zhi successfully won the throne.
After Liu Zhi proclaimed himself emperor, he returned the favor and greatly increased Liang Yi's treatment.
He could jog into the palace, and he could wear a long sword to meet the Saint. His treatment was the same as Xiao He and Huo Guang.
He had to be consulted on all matters of the country, and the promotion of all officials had to be done by paying a visit to his residence. Even the arrangements for the imperial guards and the emperor's accommodation were all arranged by him.
As for the officials of the imperial court, Liang Yi had even more power.
When Hou Meng, the prefect of Liaodong, received his appointment, he did not go to visit Liang Ji. Liang Ji held a grudge and killed him on the pretext of other things.
Liang Yi's relatives and friends were mostly in Wan County. Before Wu Shu took up the post of Wan County Magistrate, Liang Yi told him that he wanted to take care of him, but Wu Shu rejected him. Hence, Liang Yi held a grudge. When Wu Shu took up his post and left, Liang Yi used poisoned wine to help him, causing Wu Shu to die in the car as soon as he left.
The famous scholar Liu Chang, together with Hao Wei and Hu Wu, jointly wrote a letter to the three dukes 'residences, recommending people of noble character in the world. However, they did not recommend them to the General's residence. This made Liang Yi very angry, so he found an excuse to kill all the more than sixty people recommended by the three.
And this was only a small portion of Liang Yi's power that had been in the court for close to twenty years.
Not only did Liang Yi confuse the court, he also exploited the people.
After Liang Yi found out that Shi Sunfen was a tycoon in Fufeng, he gave him four horses and then borrowed 50 million yuan. Shi Sunfen only gave him 30 million yuan, which made Liang Yi furious. He accused Shi Sunfen of stealing and killed him in prison, taking all 170 million yuan for himself.
Liang Yi liked rabbits, so he built a luxurious garden and marked the hundreds of rabbits he raised in the garden. Someone accidentally shot the rabbits, and his entire family was killed by Liang Yi.
There were nine people in Liang Ji's family who were granted marquises, three became empresses, six became nobles, two generals, seven of his wives and daughters enjoyed food cities, three married princesses, and fifty-seven other officials were ministers, generals, Yin, and schools.
The Liang family was famous for a time and was almost more domineering than the imperial family.
This caused Liang Yi to become even more arrogant and unrestrained, running amok in the imperial court.
Similarly, as Liu Zhi grew up, Liang Yi's arrogance also caused Liu Zhi to be dissatisfied.
In 159 AD, Liu Zhi's patience with Liang Yi reached its limit. Finally, he discussed with the Ten Attendants of the Imperial Army and led more than a thousand soldiers to surround the Liang Residence.
In the end, Liang Yi and his wife committed suicide, and Liang Yi's children and relatives were imprisoned and killed.
Dozens of court officials were implicated, and hundreds of other court officials were implicated.
The entire court was empty.
Liang Yi, who had dominated the court for more than twenty years, had finally met his demise.
After the imperial court sold off all of Liang Yi's assets, they received a total of three billion, which was almost half of the annual tax revenue of the imperial court.
The video ended.
"Good kill!"
Liu Bang shouted," Everyone should kill these traitors!!”
"Controlling all officials, confusing the royal court, and even arranging the daily food and accommodation of the emperor's imperial guards are all arranged by this traitor.”
Zhu Yuanzhang sighed,
"Liang Yi's family has nine marquises, three empresses, six nobles, and three princesses. How is he a general, he's obviously a queen of the opposite sex!”
"I, Great Ming, definitely can't do this!”
