Lingdi Xiyuan sells official titles.
Heaven is dead, Huang is dead.
When Emperor Han Ling grew up, he didn't do much good, but there was only one thing to boast about.
In the spring of the fourth year of Xiping (A.D. 175), he ordered Confucian scholars to collate the text of the Five Classics, and asked Cai Qi, a great calligrapher, to carve it on a stone tablet in three fonts: Dazhuan, Xiaozhuan and Li Shu, and put it at the entrance of imperial academy to make a model for young students, so as to avoid the mistake of one book in the east and one in the west. After the stone tablet was erected, thousands of people copied it every day. This is the famous Xiping Shijing. 175.3 In the spring and March, Zhu Zhuru was ordered to write the text of the Five Classics, and Cai Yong was ordered to write three-body books of ancient Chinese prose, seal script and official script, carving stones and standing outside the business school, so that later Confucianism could learn to correct mistakes in the later period. Since the monument was built, its audience and imitators have been riding for thousands of days and crowded the streets. Xi Shi pingjing
However, the talented Cai Yong was unlucky. Attacking the eunuch's autocracy in front of the emperor aroused the hatred of Cao Jie and others. He was soon crushed, shaved his head with his relatives, and exiled to the northern frontier fortress, which stipulated that he could never be pardoned. Just because of his high reputation and respect, the assassin couldn't bear to do it, and the tribal leader protected him from wrongful death. Emperor 178.7 also thought more about his own chapter, and wrote a letter: "I will be demoted to the next level and moved to Shuofang with my family, and I can't get rid of it."
At the age of twenty-three, Emperor Ling set an unprecedented precedent, that is, he set up a special residence in the West Park to buy and sell official titles. There is a big warehouse in the park to store copper coins. There are high and low official positions, and the price is different: a title of 2000 stone, a 20 million, can be a county magistrate. Four hundred stone titles sell for four million, and the official position is slightly smaller than the county magistrate. People who buy officials have a great reputation, and the price is halved, even only one third. 178. 12 is years old. He began to sell officials in the west, and his income was different. Twenty thousand stone twenty million; Four hundred stone four million; One-half or one-third of those who should be elected by virtue; Set up a warehouse in the West Park.
It has been suggested that some officials are richer and some are poorer, so the prices will be different. In addition, there are time rules: the rich pay first and then take office; The poor take office first, then pay the money, and the price will double. 178. 12 or yique wrote a letter to the magistrate, ugly with the county, rich with Jia. The rich put the money in first, the poor went to the office and lost twice.
Emperor Ling also privately asked the favored eunuchs to sell their officials: 10 million for each official and 5 million for each official. 178. 12 also ordered the sale of public officials privately, with 10 million public officials and 5 million public officials.
Later, the worse it became, the appointment of court ministers was also made by eunuchs first.
Ting Cui Xie Lie paid 5 million yuan before being promoted to Si Tuleideng. On the day of printing, Emperor Ling said to the people around him, "I regret it. If I stay a little longer when Cui Lie pays the money, he will let go and I will take 10 million! " 185.3 Lie was named Stuart because her mother invested 5 million yuan. On the day of worship, the son of heaven came to the porch and all the servants met. Emperor Gu said to the lucky man, "I regret it, but it can reach 10 million!" "
The emperor is rich in the world, everything belongs to him, and it is strange to sell officials and titles. Actually don't blame:
When Lingdi was a county magistrate, life was hard. When he became an emperor, he often lamented that Emperor Huan would not save money to manage his family and save private houses. You should learn a lesson, this is an opportunity to sell officials and titles. 178. 12 at the beginning of the year, the emperor was often poor and acceded to the throne. Every time, he lamented that Emperor Huan could not get married, and he was always selfless in money, so he sold officials to collect money for possession.
In order to save private houses, Lingdi made new regulations. Every year, the rare treasures contributed by all parts of the country are sent directly to the national warehouse according to the rules. Now, he ordered to pay a "guide fee" before warehousing; Pay it and the contribution will be accepted. The "guide fee" was handled by the eunuch, personally handed over to the emperor and incorporated into the harem. The state treasury has no share. 18 1.9 Emperor Hao hoarded precious goods from all over the world for himself, and the contributions of all counties were first lost to the central administration, which was called "guide fee".
Lv Qiang, a waiter in China, once wrote to stop charging "guide fees", thinking that the property in the world belongs to the emperor's private warehouse, regardless of public and private interests, which can only benefit the traitors and the people. But the spirit emperor just wouldn't listen. 18 1.9 years, Lv Qiang, a regular servant, remonstrated, saying, "All the wealth in the world is yin and yang, which belongs to your majesty, and it is selfless! Today, the China government has collected the treasures of counties, the imperial government of China has accumulated the treasures of the world, the West Garden has attracted the treasures of farmers, and the stables in China have gathered servants' horses. The lost government needs to guide the people, broaden their difficulties, spend more money and give less, and the traitors are subject to their interests. In addition, a flattering minister, who is good at providing his personal and tolerates flattery, has since entered. The old code: three governments are elected and appointed, and ministers only obey the imperial edict; When the candidate is appointed, he is responsible for success, and his achievements are unobservable. Then hand it over to Shangshu for dissolution. Please punish Ting Wei according to the actual situation. Therefore, every time Sangong has his own choice, he will consult the animal sign, consult the behavior and measure his ability; However, there are still absenteeism and waste of the palace, which has not been treated. As an official today, there may be an imperial edict. If so, the three fairs are free of election, the officials do not sit down, and there is no reward. Why don't you work hard? " Books are for fun, not for storage.
Not only that, Emperor Ling also made some new things and had a good time. He opened a shop in the harem, and told maids to pretend to be businessmen and buy and sell goods. It even implies that they steal from each other, quarrel and fight, for the sake of excitement. He disguised himself as a businessman, shopping in shops, eating and gambling in restaurants. 18 1. 10 years old, the emperor listed in the harem, making prostitutes sell thieves. The emperor wore the clothes of businessmen and enjoyed drinking and having fun from them.
There is a dog shed in the West Garden, where dogs are put on a "golden crown" and tied with a sui belt. Sometimes I ride four donkeys and whip myself, running back and forth, triumphant. For a time, everyone in Beijing followed suit, and the price of donkeys rose as high as that of horses. 18 1. 10 got a dog in the west park and wanted to be crowned a sage with a ribbon. Driving four donkeys again, the emperor bent down to ride; Capital turned to imitation, and the price of donkeys was the same as that of March.
What about the people in the world when the spirit emperor played like this? If nothing else, the great uprising of the Yellow Scarf Army was enough to prove the living conditions of the people at that time. Let's start from the beginning.
Julu has a Taoist opening angle, and he has a set of spells. He used water spells to cure diseases, sometimes it was really effective, and the people were very convinced. His disciples are increasing all over northern China, and even in Luoyang City, there are hundreds of thousands of people named after "Taiping Road". /kloc-at the beginning of 0/83.3, stag, serving Huang and Lao, taught witchcraft, nicknamed "Taiping Dao" to curse water to cure diseases, and made the patient bow down for the first time, or when he recovered, many gods believed it. Jiao sent his disciple Zhou Xing to all directions, turning around to lure the enemy. Over the past ten years, there have been hundreds of thousands of disciples, and people from eight States, namely, Qing, Xu, You, Ji, Jing, Yang, Yan and Yu, have to answer. Or abandon production, move land and fill roads, and tens of thousands of people died without getting sick. Counties and counties don't understand its meaning. Satire is a good way, and the people return it.
The opening angle is set to 36 squares, that is, 36 soldiers. There are more than 10 thousand generous people and seven or eight thousand small parties, each with its own commander in chief. They shouted slogans: "When the sky dies, the yellow sky should stand; Sixty years old, in Jiazi, the world is good. " On the main roads of Beijing and counties, only the word "Jiazi" is written in white powder. Jiazi was in 184, the first year of Emperor Zhong Ping. It means to start an uprising in this year and seize the world. Then set the angle of 183.3 to 36 squares, and the squares are still normal. More than 10,000 people are generous, and six or seven thousand are small parties, each with its own handsome channel. Miswords: "Heaven is dead, Huang Tian should stand, and the year is in Jiazi, and there is nothing in the world."
Ma Yuanyi, the "generous general" of Taiping Road, is in charge of tens of thousands of believers in Jingzhou and Yangzhou. He also got in touch with eunuchs Feng Wei and Xu Feng and decided to attack Luoyang from the inside out on March 5, Jiazi year. 183.3 The word "Jiazi" is used in Bainiben, the temple gate in Beijing and the state and county governments. Generous Ma Yuanyi, etc. First received tens of thousands of people from Jing and Yang, and the meeting was held in Ye. Yuan Yishu traveled to and from the capital with Zhong Changshi, Feng Wei and Xu Feng. As a housekeeping service, starting from March 5.
Unexpectedly, before this, Tang Zhou, a disciple of Zhang Jiao, tipped off the court, and Ma Yuanyi was arrested and hacked to death in Luoyang. Palace guards and capital officers and soldiers killed more than 1000 people after being reported and searched. 184. 1 In the spring of, Jiao disciple Jinan wrote to inform him. So Ma Yuanyi was shut down and the car split in Luoyang. Summoned the provincial guards of Sangong and Li Si to investigate the affairs of the people in the palace and killed more than a thousand people.
When Zhang Jiao found something was wrong, he started ahead of time. The insurgents wore yellow turbans, which were called "the yellow turban army" by the people and "the yellow turban thief" by the court. 184. 1 Xiajizhou Zhuijiao, etc. Jiao and other governors rose up in succession, running around every day, all with the yellow turban insurrectionary as a sign, so they were called "yellow turban insurrectionary thieves" at that time.
Zhang Jiao called himself "General Heaven", his second brother Zhang Bao as "General Earth" and his third brother Sean as "General Man". They attacked cities, plundered land and burned the government for more than two months. The world responded and the capital was shocked. 184.2 In February, Jiao claimed to be the general of God, Jiao Dibao claimed to be the general of earth, and Liang claimed to be the general of man. He burned the government here, grabbed some cities, lost counties, and many officers fled. On October 10th, the world responded and the capital shook.
Huang Fusong, the northern magistrate, and Lv Qiang, a servant, wrote to the emperor: "The party has been banned for a long time, and human feelings are very resentful. If they are not pardoned, the sympathizers of Hooke Party will join hands with Gold to rebel, and they will regret it. " The spirit emperor was afraid, and sent a letter to party member in March, and the exiled family members were also put back to their hometown. Only the opening angle is unforgivable. Continue the crusade. On 184.3, I asked Lv Qiang, an old minister in China, and said to him, "partisan disputes have accumulated over time, and people have grievances. If you don't forgive me, you will easily collude with Zhang Jiao, so you will become arrogant and regretful. Now, please punish those insatiable and muddleheaded people first, and forgive those party member. It is unfair to steal the history of the secretariat if it can be simple. " The emperor followed it in fear. Lunzi, forgive the world party member, and immigrate; Only the opening angle is unforgivable.
After the death of Mars and Du Mi 13 years, the ban within the party was lifted.
Doctor Zhang Jun put forward another point of view: "Why did Jiao make a mess?" ? Why do ordinary people go with them? There is only one reason. The eunuch of the imperial court is too arrogant! In particular, ten regular attendants, their relatives and guests occupy important positions at all levels in the local area, accept bribes, pervert the law, and harm the people. The people have nowhere to complain about injustice and have accumulated too much. Of course, they will rally to revolt. At present, the only way is to hang the heads of ten regular attendants in the southern suburbs of Beijing, send messengers to announce the world and pardon the yellow turban insurrectionary, and the war will naturally subside. 184.3 Zhang Jun, a doctor in the doctor's office, wrote: "Stealing the opening angle can cause chaos, and all the people are happy to attach it. The source of this incident is that ten constant attendants sent their fathers, brothers, children, in-laws and guests to counties. They robbed the people, but said nothing about their grievances, so they conspired to be thieves. You might as well behead ten regular servants in the southern suburbs of the county head to thank the people and make envoys declare the world, but you don't need a division or a brigade to destroy yourself. "
Emperor Ling showed Zhang Jun's letters to the propaganda officials. They panicked and kowtowed and confessed. They want to take the initiative to go to jail and pay military expenses. Emperor Ling just wanted to scare them, so he was pardoned and went about his business as usual. 184.3 the emperor took Zhang Jun and showed all the regular attendants, all of whom bowed their heads and didn't wear hats. They asked Luoyang for help and made a fortune to help the military. There are imperial edicts, which are all practical.
He turned around again and swore at Zhang Jun who wrote the letter: "Zhang Jun is an arrogant guy! Ten people often serve ten people, and none of them is good? " Hearing this, the suggestion falsely accused Zhang Jun of being a member of the Yellow turban insurrectionary, put him in prison and died. 184.3 The emperor said angrily, "This is crazy! There is always a good man in ten regular waiters! " The suggestion was adopted, so he pretended to learn the yellow turban insurrectionary, accepted it and died in prison.
Zhang Xiu, a native of Ba County, also used magic to cure diseases, similar to Zhang Jiao. When the patient is cured, pay five dou meters. People call it "five-door rice" They gathered together to weigh the soldiers and attack the city. The court called them "rice thieves". The yellow turban insurrectionary army echoed north and south, which made the spirit emperor very headache. 184.7 Zhang Yong in Baxian used witchcraft to treat people, and the method was slightly the same as the opening angle, so that the patient gave five buckets of rice, which was called "five-dollar rice master". In autumn and July, people gathered in the opposition, Kou County; At that time, people called it "the rice thief".
In winter, Huang Fusong fought the Yellow Scarf Army in Guangzong, suddenly attacked, killed Sean, beheaded more than 30,000 people, and forced him to drown more than 50,000 people in the river. 184. 10 Huang Fusong, Zhang Jiaodi Liang Guangzong and Song can't be defeated. Close the camp tomorrow and see what happens. I know the thief is a little slack. I hid in the dark, singing and dancing, and ran to Chen. When the battle came to an end, I broke it, cut the beam, captured the first 30 thousand levels, and went to the river to kill 50 thousand people.
Then beat Zhang Bao in Xiaquyang. 184. 1 1 November, Fu Song attacked Dibao in Xiaquyang, killed it and captured more than 100,000 people.
Zhang Jiao died of illness, so he dug a grave, opened a coffin and slaughtered the body, and sent his head to Luoyang. A large-scale peasant uprising was thus put out. Angle 184. 10 has died of illness, opened the coffin and slaughtered the body, and spread it to the capital.
