Liang Shicheng looks silly, modest, honest and kind, not like a talkative person. As a matter of fact, he is cunning, good at reading people's minds, and sophisticated in handling things, which won Hui Zong's favor.
Liang Shicheng used to work in Jia Xiang's book and art bureau. Because of his shrewd nature and contact with the bookstore, he also learned grammar and poetry. After Jia Xiang's death, he led the library outside Ruisi Temple and was responsible for executing imperial edicts. This is a fat job, and he is the one who arranges all the orders for imperial books and orders the world. Over time, he also saw some doorways, and found several small collectors who were good at calligraphy to imitate Song Huizong's handwriting and spread it to the imperial edict according to their own wishes. The layman doesn't know the details and the truth.
Although Liang Shicheng knows some poetry books, it is far from being a big deal. He likes to be arty and boastful, saying that he is from Su Shi's school, and he also claims to take calligraphy as his duty, and often criticizes the four handsome celebrities in his school. He also placed various calligraphy and paintings and scrolls in the outhouse of the mansion, inviting guests to watch, comment and write. If the title satisfies him, he will recommend it. Therefore, no one in the imperial court dared to underestimate him and secretly called him "the hidden phase."
Wang Fu, known as one of the "Six Thieves" at that time, was even more loyal to Liang Shicheng, calling him "Mr. Enfu". The two houses are separated by a wall with a small door. Traffic day and night. With the support of Liang Shicheng, Wang Fu seized the house of Xu Jiang, the assistant minister next door. In broad daylight, he swept Xu Jiang's family out of his wife's house and gave it to his servant. Passers-by are very angry and sorry when they see it, but they are helpless.
Li Yan, the great eunuch, lived in Xuanhe for three years (A.D. 1 12 1). After Emperor Wen of Sui, he established the Xicheng Institute, set up the Ruzhou Bureau, and plundered private fields as public fields. Burning people's coupons and losing land rent, anyone who reports complaints, once they know it, will be severely tortured and thousands of people will die at a time. He also requisitioned property and demanded sacrifices, which was better than Zhu Li's, and he spent huge sums of money, which hindered agriculture. He has no respect for local officials everywhere, and he sits in the lobby everywhere. The supervisor and all the guards dare not resist him, so he made enemies in the northwest for a while. Someone sued Hui Zong before he spoke, but Liang Shicheng, who stood by, was afraid of hurting his colleagues. He hit the nail on the head and said, "Although the officials around the emperor are small, they are also above the princes. How can you do that kind of excessive thing? " The speaker was afraid of Liang Shicheng's autocracy and cruelty, and did not dare to complain at once. Even the burning Cai Jing and his son dare not neglect Liang Shicheng.
Liang Shicheng took advantage of Hui Zong's favor and wrote his name in local chronicles. Such a eunuch-born guy turned into a scholar, so he moved to Jinzhou as an observer to push the Germans to stay. Later, when Tang Ming was completed, they all supervised the construction of Tang Ming. Later, they worshipped our times, added an official from Zhong Yi and an official from Shen Xiao, and appointed three times to protect the country, kill Dongzhen and kill the river. They went to the school to inspect the teacher, then worshipped Qiu, opened the government clothes and changed Huainan with the third company.
During the reign of Xuanhe, Zhao Liangsi proposed a joint attack on Liao, but many courtiers disagreed. Only Tong Guan, Wang Fu and others are determined. At first, Liang Shicheng disagreed with the plan. After Wang Fu's lobbying, he agreed and recommended Tan Qi as a propaganda ambassador. Later, Wang Fu and others searched around and got more than 60 million yuan to buy five or six empty cities, pretending to triumph. Liang Shicheng was also promoted to Shaobao because of his "suggestion".
Liang Shicheng not only acted arbitrarily, but also took bribes. A man bribed him millions of dollars, so he was asked to take the court exam in the name of his contribution to the Book of Admiration. On the first day of singing, he served the emperor and was arrogant.
In the last years of Hui Zong Xuanhe, Wang Zhao Kai tried to shake the position of Zhao Heng, the prince of the Eastern Palace, and Liang Shicheng tried his best to protect him. Later, Zhao Heng acceded to the throne (that is, he came to Qinzong) because of his nostalgia for "grace", so that all the favored officials in Hui Zong were from the eastern side of Huizong, except Liang Shicheng.
However, Liang Shicheng's adultery aroused strong dissatisfaction among courtiers and people, and Chen Dong and imperial academy Zhang Bing spared no effort to condemn him. It is said that Liang Shicheng's sentiment has contributed, his ambition is different, his appearance is corresponding, and he is afraid that something will happen. He should be a typical example of thanking the world. Although Qin zong was forced by public discussion, he didn't want to do it yet. Liang Shicheng was afraid that he would be disposed of if he left Qinzong, so he never left Qinzong. Even Emperor Qinzong went to the toilet, and he waited outside the toilet in case something happened. He lived in fear for a while, but when he saw that there was no movement, his heart was a little safer.
Just then, Zheng came back from the heavy camp. Qin ordered Liang Shicheng and Zheng to go again with Zhu Yu of Xuanhe Hall, and asked Zheng Xian to go to Zhongshu to inform the Prime Minister that if Liang Shicheng went, he would be detained and convicted. Somehow, Liang Shicheng thought that the alarm had been lifted long ago and came to Zhongshu majestically as usual. As a result, he was caught by the soldiers who had been waiting for him. Qin Zong sent a letter to demote him as the deputy envoy of Changhua Army and was "protected" by Kaifeng government. In Bajiao Town, the government killed Liang Shicheng and said that he died suddenly.
