Empress Hu held many fasting meetings, and the money he gave to the monks was calculated as 10 thousand yuan at a time. He spent a lot of money without restraint, but he was never kind to the people. As a result, the national treasury gradually ran into a deficit, so she ordered to cut the salaries of officials and officers.
Wang Yuancheng of Rencheng went to the table to persuade: "Guo Liang Xiao Yan has been drooling over us for a long time. We should plan our contribution to unifying the world as soon as possible while the country is strong and the army is stronger than Ma Zhuang. In recent years, both public and private businesses have become poorer and poorer, and unnecessary expenses should be saved to deal with emergency affairs. " Although the queen mother didn't take his advice, she gave him preferential treatment.
Since Xuan Wudi in the Northern Wei Dynasty, no more than 1000 people have built services for Tang Ming and imperial academy. The relevant departments often seconded these people to build temples and kimonos, so they have not been built for more than ten years.
Yuan Zigong wrote: "It is really wrong for the imperial court to neglect the important affairs of governing the country in order to provide unnecessary expenses. All kinds of labor should be cut, and Tang Ming and imperial academy should be built as soon as possible, so that ancestors can enjoy sacrifices and let the people know more about rituals and music. " Although the court adopted his suggestion, Tang Ming and imperial academy were not built.
Dong Pingkuang was repeatedly rejected by Ren Yuancheng for his suggestion. He was very angry, so he packed up the coffin he had made in those years, prepared to compete with Gao Zhao, prepared to fight again and impeached Cheng Yuan to the death.
Cheng Yuan also made more than 30 charges against Yuan Kuang, and Ting Wei suggested that Yuan Kuang be sentenced to death. Xiong Xin defended Yuan Kuang for the last time, saying: "Yuan Kuangsheng lived in three dynasties, and his integrity was well known by people in the ruling and opposition, so Gao Zu specially named him Kuang. My late emperor was tolerant of him when he was alive, and your majesty should also choose to be tolerant of him. If you finally demote him, I'm afraid you'll keep loyal subjects out in the future. " So, before long, the court appointed Yuan Kuang as the secretariat of Pingzhou.
Hu Taihou once chatted with Yu Yang, the head of the Chinese book, and said, "If my relatives do something wrong outside, once they hear it, don't hide it."
Yu Yang played Yangzhou secretariat, loaded five carts with property, and made silver tableware for Xiangzhou secretariat, which was presented to the chief Yuan Cha. Hu Taihou recruited Mr. and Mrs. Yuan Cha, crying and blaming them, so Yuan Cha resented Yu Yang.
Yu Yang's uncle Yang Shu's wife is Wuchang Wang Yuan and his sister, while Yuanhe is Yuancha's great-grandfather. After Yang Shu's death, Yuanshi County repeatedly asked to move to another place to live. Yu Yang's father, Yang Chun, cried and scolded him and refused to agree to her request, so Yuanshi County hated him very much.
Liu, a native of Yingzhou, rebelled. After the incident, Liu was found and fled. Yuan Cha instructed Yuanhe and Yuanshi County to falsely accuse Liu of hiding, and said, "My father, Yang Chun, the secretariat of Dingzhou, and his uncle, the secretariat of Huazhou, gave Liu 300 weapons and conspired with him to rebel."
In order to convict this crime, Yuan Cha sent 500 imperial guards to search the house surrounded at night, and found nothing else. Hu Taihou asked the truth, and Yu Yang reported the dissatisfaction of Yuanshi County. Hu Taihou untied Yu Yang and sentenced Yuan and Yuanshi County to death. Later, Yuan Cha managed to rescue them. As a result, Yuan He was relieved of his official position and Yuanshi County was acquitted.
Yi, a teacher of Qinghe literature, is the uncle of Emperor Xiaoming. He is so handsome that Hu Taihou forced him to have sex with him. However, Yuan Yi himself was brilliant, supplemented by many revisions, and he loved literature and respected scholar-officials. At that time, he enjoyed a high reputation in society.
Assistant Yuan Cha is Hu Taihou's brother-in-law. He is in charge of guarding the province under the door. Relying on the queen mother's favor, he was arrogant and extravagant. Yuan Yi often punished him according to law, so Yuan Cha hated Yuan Yi very much.
Wei will have great power both inside and outside the imperial court. In order to win the favor of Liu Teng, the official department invited Liu Teng's younger brother to be the county satrap, but his younger brother was not qualified in both talent and qualifications, so Yuan Yi pressed down and refused to play, so Liu Teng also held a grudge against him.
Zhou yuan once recommended being a straight commander, and Yuan Cha promised wealth and splendor, so that he falsely accused Han and his son of rebellion and wanted to be emperor. Zhou yuan was put in prison, and after trial and inspection, there was no rebellion, and he was released.
Originally, Wei Song should be punished for false accusation. In order to cover up his plot, Yuancha said to Hu Taihou, "If you kill Wei Song now, no one will dare to report anyone who really rebelled in the future." Hu Huanghou thought it was reasonable, only demoted to Changping county magistrate, and later recalled him to the court.
Worried that Yuan Yi would eventually become a pain in his heart, Yuancha colluded with Liu Teng to make Hu Ding confess himself: "Yuan Yi bribed me to poison the emperor and promised that if he became the emperor, he would make me prosperous." At that time, Ming Di was only eleven years old, and he believed Hu Ding's framing.
On this day, Hu Taihou was still in Jia Fu Hall and didn't come to Qian Dian. Yuan fork served the emperor and came to Xianyang Hall. Liu Teng closed Yongxiang Gate, and Hu Taihou couldn't get out. After entering the palace, meet Zhang in the back hall, stop and don't enter.
Zhou yuan asked, "Do you want to rebel?"
Yuan Cha sneered: "I don't want to rebel, I just want to catch rebellion!" So the warriors grabbed zhou yuan's sleeve and sent him to East Yunnan, Zhang Han, and sent someone to protect him.
Liu Teng pretended to be ordered by the emperor to summon officials to tell the story of zhou yuan's rebellion. Everyone is afraid of Bi Yuan, and no one dares to disagree. Only you zhaojian can't rebel and refuse to sign and agree to be convicted.
Yuan Cha and Liu Teng entered the palace according to the opinions of the ministers, and soon got the approval of Emperor Xiaoming, who killed zhou yuan in the middle of the night. Then they forged Hu Taihou's decree, saying that she was ill and wanted to return the political power to Emperor Xiaoming.
They imprisoned Hu Taihou in the Xuanguang Hall in Gong Bei, and the palace door was closed day and night, isolated from the inside and outside. Liu Teng personally took charge of the keys, and even Xiao Ming's imperial city could not be visited, only meals were allowed.
Hu Taihou's clothes and diet can't be the same as before, and she can't help being hungry and cold, so she sighed, "I was bitten by a tiger when I was raising a tiger. It's me! "
In Yuan Fork School, Jia can often accompany Ming Di to study, secretly ordering him to watch out for Ming Di's actions. Assisting King Levin and others, Emperor Xiaoming called Yuan Cha an uncle. Yuan fork and have the power to dominate both inside and outside, colluding with each other. Yuan Cha is responsible for attacks from outside the court, while he is responsible for monitoring the inside of the court. They are often on duty in the temple and decide rewards and punishments together. Political matters, big or small, are up to them. The two of them are powerful inside and outside the imperial court, and all officials are cautious and dare not make a move.
When the government and the public heard the news of zhou yuan's death, they were very sad and died of anger and depression.
Yuan's son, Xiangzhou secretariat. He and his younger brothers Yuan Lue and Yuan Zeng were treated well by zhou yuan. After hearing the news of zhou yuan's death, they immediately set up an army in Yecheng and wrote to Emperor Xiaoming, demanding the killing of Yuan Cha and Liu Teng. Yuan Zeng fled to Yecheng to join the army.
Ten days later, Chang Yuanzhang and others led the civilians in the city to rush in, killed their subordinates, and took them and their son Yuan to the high building. Yuan Chapai sent Lu Tong to slay Yuan and his children in Yecheng market.
Yuan Xi loves literature, has character and is loyal to others. At that time, the famous Dachuan had a friendship with him. When he died, he wrote to an old friend and said, "My brother and I were both indebted to Empress Dowager Cixi. My brother is guarding Dazhou, and my brother is serving in the palace. Now Empress Dowager Cixi was abandoned in Gong Bei, and her teacher, King Qinghe, was killed. Your majesty is young and at the mercy of others in the front hall. Your majesty, we can't protect ourselves, so we have to do justice all over the country. But my intelligence is short-sighted. Not only did I not get rid of the thief, but I was imprisoned. I am ashamed of the world's court and have no face to the next bosom friend. I hope many friends will inspire themselves with their own festivals for the sake of the country! "
Yuan sent his head to Luoyang, and his relatives and friends were afraid to see it. Only former General Xiaoqi collected his body. In order to win the favor of Yuan Cha, Lu Tong investigated Yuan's accomplices. Yu Yang was captured and sent to Yecheng. After more than one hundred days of trial and torture, he was released. Yuan Cha saw that Lu Tong was effective and appointed him as assistant minister of Huangmen.
Yuan slightly fled to the home of his old friend Sima Shibin. Sima Shibin and Yuan Lue made a raft out of reeds, and spent the night in Jin Meng, where they fled to Xihe Prefecture and hid for more than a year. At that time, there was a slight reward from Yuan, and the news was very tight. Yuanlue was very scared and asked to send him out of the country. Diao Shuang sent his nephew Diao Chang to send Yuan Lue across the river, so Yuan Lue took refuge in the Liang Dynasty, and Liang Wudi made him Zhongshan King.
Yuan fork falsely accused Diao of sending Yuan lue away and arresting him and his children together. JI Wang and others tried their best to protect him, but it was spared.
