Chapter 45 Liu Hong 2

When the Lingdi became an adult, he set up the West Garden for his own enjoyment, and the Spirit Emperor used the income from * for the construction of the West Garden. Lv Qiang, the chamberlain, said, "The property in the world is your majesty's. Why do you need to divide it into public and private?" The Spirit Emperor didn't listen. * The policy lasted until the death of the Spirit Emperor.

In the fifth year of Zhongping (188), Emperor Ling accepted Taichang Liu Yan's suggestion and reset the state herdsman, which was known as "the abolition of history and the herdsman". Liu Yan was the herdsman of Yizhou and Huang Wan was the herdsman of Yuzhou; in the same year, he took Zongzheng Liu Yu as the shepherd of Youzhou. As a result, it led to the formation of warlords in various places, and the state shepherd, including Liu Yan, was basically no longer under the control of the imperial court after taking office.

In August of the fifth year of Zhongping (188), the Lingdi set up the eighth lieutenant of Xiyuan, led by Xiaohuangmen Shuo, so as to restrict the military power of the general He Jin.

In the sixth year of Xiping (177), Xia Yushangshu, the captain of Wuhuan, requested to fight against Xianbei, while Tian Yan, the captain of Qiang, who was punished for the crime, requested to atone for the fight against Xianbei through Wang Fu, a regular servant, and Wang Fu also agreed to fight. In August of the same year, Emperor Ling sent Xia Yu to lead his army out of Gaoliu County, Tian Yan led his army out of Yunzhong County, and Zang Min led the southern Xiongnu Tu Te Ruo's corpse to leave Yanmen County, each with more than 10,000 cavalry to attack more than 2,000 miles outside the fortress. Shanbei leader Tan Shihuai ordered the three subordinates to lead the crowd to attack. Xia Yu and others were defeated and abandoned their own seals and carriages. Each led dozens of them to escape. They were requisitioned by prison and imprisoned, and were abolished as commoners after redemption.

In March of the fourth year of Xiping (175), Emperor Lingdi ordered the masters of Confucianism to correct the text of the Five Classics according to the previous suggestions of Yang Ci, Cai Yong, Ma Riqi, Li Xun and others, and also ordered Cai Yong to write in three fonts: ancient script, big seal and official script, engrave it on a stone tablet and erected it outside the Taixue gate, so that the later Confucian students The younger generation all take this as the standard. When the stone tablet was first erected, it came to watch and copy and copy it. More than a thousand vehicles filled the streets and alleys every day.

The engraving of Xiping Stone Sutra provides readers with a model of Confucian classic textbooks, and creates the precedent of Chinese stone classics, inspired the invention of the extension method, and also has an indirect impact on the invention of printing.

In the first year of Guanghe (178), Emperor Ling set up Hongdumen and hung portraits of Confucius and his 72 disciples. In this school, it is not to study Confucian classics, but actually to explore the subjects that Lingdi is interested in such as rhetoric and calligraphy. Emperor Ling reused the students from Hongdumen, who served as assassins, Shangshu, waiters, and even marquis. Confucian scholars often despise these people and refuse to associate with them. Hongdu School was very prosperous for a while, with as many as 1,000 students, but it lasted for a long time. One was due to the fierce attack of the scholars, and the other was due to the Yellow Turban Uprising, which ended with the decline of the Han Dynasty.

Hongdumen is not only the earliest junior college in China, but also the earliest literary and art college in the world. In the Han Dynasty, which respected Confucianism alone, it was a great contribution to education to change the old concept of Confucian classics as the only educational content and advocate the study of literature and art. It is also of great progress in recruiting children of civilians, breaking through the monopoly of the aristocracy and landlord class on schools, and giving civilians the opportunity to display their talents. The emergence of Hongdu School opened the way for the later imperial examination and the establishment of various colleges, especially in the Tang Dynasty.

The Lingdi himself lived in the inner palace and tried new tricks for fun. There were no donkeys in the inner palace, and a little yellow gate that was good at welcoming carefully selected four donkeys from other places to enter the palace. After seeing him, the spiritual emperor loved him like a treasure and drove a small car to play in the palace every day. At first, I found a driver to drive, and a few days later, I simply operated it myself. The news that the emperor was driving a donkey car came out of the inner palace, and many bureaucrats and doctors in the capital competed to imitate each other, thinking that it was fashionable, and the price of folk donkeys rose sharply for a while.

Just as the capital was filled with the smoke from the donkey cart, the Lingdi lost interest in the donkey cart again. Another eunuch was ingenious, dressed up the dog, wearing a virtuous crown, wearing a court dress, wearing a ribbon, and swaying in the court. When Emperor Ling recognized that he was a dog, he couldn't help clapping his hands and laughing and praising, "What a dog officer." Although the Wenwu of the Manchu Dynasty felt great shame and humiliation, they dared not say anything.

Emperor Ling imitated the streets, markets, various shops and vendors in the harem, causing some of the palace concubines to dress up as various merchants to sell, the other part as guests who buy things, and some dressed up as singers, monkeys, etc. He himself put on a merchant's clothes and pretended to be a merchant selling goods. He walked around the artificial market, or drank and had fun in the hotel, or quarreled, fought and fought with shopkeepers and customers. The Spirit Emperor wandered here and had a lot of fun. The goods in the shop are all rare treasures that have been stolen. They have been stolen by the greedy maids and concubines one after another, and even fight secretly for how much you have stolen and I have stolen less, but Emperor Lingdi doesn't know it at all.

In the third year of Zhongping (186), Emperor Ling of Han built 1,000 houses in the West Garden. The green moss is covered on the steps, attracting canal water around the thresholds and circulation everywhere. The canal water is planted with lotus flowers presented by the southern country. The flowers are as big as a cover, more than one foot high. The lotus leaves are rolled up at night, and there are four lotus clusters on a stem, called "Night Shuhe". And because the leaves of this lotus only unfold after the moon comes out, the moon god is famous, so it is also called "Wangshu lotus". In this fairyland garden, Emperor Han Ling ordered the maids to take off their clothes and play and chase. Sometimes he got happy and took off his clothes to get along with them. Therefore, he named this garden a "naked tour hall".

Emperor Ling once dreamed that Emperor Huan of Han was angry and said, "What is the sin of Empress Song? Did you listen to those evil evil words and make her die? Liu Yu, the king of Bohai, has been demoted and killed. Now Song and Liu Yu are complaining in the sky. God is furious, and your sins are difficult to save. The content of this dream is very clear.

Liu Hong was very panicked when he woke up and told Xu Yong, the left supervisor of Yulin, and said, "What is this ominous sign? Can you get rid of it?" Xu Yong replied, "Empress Song and the emperor inherited the throne and came to the world as a mother. Over the years, all over the world have been enlightened by her. I have never heard of any mistakes or evil voices. However, the emperor listened to the slanderous and jealous words, which made her suffer innocent crimes and was killed. Even the family and all the concubines regretted complaining. Liu Yu, the king of Bohai, was the younger brother of Emperor Huan of the Han Dynasty. He dealt with the affairs of the feudal state and served the court as a vassal. He had never made mistakes. His majesty was convicted and killed without verification and inspection. In the past, the Marquis of Jin dreamed of a fierce ghost and developed to the ground because the Marquis of Jin killed the ancestors of the fierce ghost. The morality between heaven and earth is clear, and ghosts and gods are difficult to deceive. It should be buried together so that the ghost can rest in peace. Let the exiled relatives of Empress Song return to their place of origin and restore the title of King Bohai, in order to eliminate the blame caused by this. Liu Hong did not listen to Xu Yong's opinion and died soon.

Xue Ying once commented on Liu Hong: "Han's Zhongxing, as for Yanping, the world has been damaged. The quality is short, the filial piety has no heir, the mother is called the system, and the treacherous minister is in power. Xiaoling ascended to the supreme with his concubine, and was ruled by the Marquis of Fan and Emperor Shao. He did not care about Zongxu and did not care about his fate. He lost the brightness of the three lights and hurt the hope of hundreds of millions. At that time, the Lord was rampant and the officials bribed. Since the prince's Qingshi fell to Zaoli, he moved to the official level and attacked all the goods. He tortured innocent people and destroyed Zhongliang; he was slandered on the side and spoke bluntly and ignored it. It is a wise man who retreats and is poor, and loyal and good is in the lower position; so when the treacherous male bees rise, they should be prevented from corruption, Yidi and invasion, and the thieves are boiling. The small one leads the city, and the big one leads the state and county. Editor**, everyone is confused. At this time, there is no son of heaven. The Huiling Emperor died, and the thieves searched for him in the back palace. Burning, there is no owner in the suburban community, and the danger rises from the top, Qin and China. Isn't it painful to make the Beijing room a ruin and the depression in the sea!"
