Li Ying

Li Ying (110-169) was born in Xiangcheng County, Yingchuan County, Henan Province. During the Eastern Han Dynasty, he was a famous scholar and official, the grandson of Li Xiu, the Taiwei, and the son of Li Yi, the Zhao prime minister.

At first, Li Ying was promoted to be a filial and honest man, and then was promoted to a higher rank by situ Hu Guang. Later, he was promoted to the governor of Qingzhou. The magistrate of Qingzhou was afraid of his strictness, so most of them abandoned their officials. He once served as the prefect of Yuyang and Shujun, and then became the captain of huwuhuan school. He repeatedly broke through Xianbei, who had violated the border, and was removed for official affairs. In the second year of Yongshou (156), Xianbei broke the border. Emperor Huan appointed Li Ying as the general of Du Liao. The Qiang people were afraid of hearing the news, so he became famous. Later, he entered the court as Yin of Henan Province. He was falsely accused of exempting from official duties because of his illegal prosecution. He should be rescued and be pardoned. When he became the commander of Sili school, he could frighten the eunuchs.

Li Ying ranks first among the "eight Juns" and is known as the "world model". He was persecuted and put into prison for the first time, then he was pardoned and returned to his hometown. When Chen Fan and Dou Wu tried to kill the eunuch, they were called Yongle Shaofu and were immediately removed. In the second year of Jianning (169), Zhang Jian began to work. Li Ying voluntarily surrendered himself and was tortured to death at the age of 60.

Life of the characters

Famous all over the world

Li Xiu, Li Ying's grandfather, was a Taiwei at the time of emperor Han'an. His father, Li Yi, was Zhao Guoxiang. Li Ying was solitary and unsociable. He only regarded Xun Shu and Chen Shi as his teachers and friends. At first, he was recommended as Xiaolian, and then he was called by situ Hu Guangzheng to be a high rank. When he was promoted to governor of Qingzhou, the prefects and magistrates of Qingzhou were afraid of Li Ying's strictness. Most of them abandoned their official posts after hearing the news that Li Ying had come to Qingzhou.

Li Ying was later called up and transferred to be the prefect of Yuyang county. Soon after, he became the prefect of Shu county. Because his mother was old, he asked to resign. When he was transferred to huwuhuan, Xianbei invaded the border many times, and Li Ying often defeated him with arrows and stones. Make the enemy very afraid. He was dismissed for official business and returned to live in his hometown of Lunshi County, where nearly a thousand students were taught. Fan Ling of Nanyang asked to be Li Ying's disciple, but he declined. Fan Ling later relied on flattery to cling to eunuchs, officials to Taiwei, was shamed by people with integrity. Xun Shuang once visited Li Ying and drove a car for him. When he came back, he said happily, "today I actually drove a car for Li Jun." Li Ying is admired to such a degree.

Love for Liao

In the second year of Yongshou (156), Xianbei invaded Yunzhong county. When Emperor Huan of Han Dynasty heard about Li Ying's talent, he recruited him as general of Du Liao. At first, Qiang people plundered to Shule and Qiuci, invaded and plundered Zhangye, Jiuquan and Yunzhong counties for many times, and the people suffered from them for many times. Since Li Ying arrived at the border, the Qiang people have been afraid to yield to the news. All the men and women who had been plundered before were sent back to the border. Since then, Li Ying's reputation has spread far and wide.

Be falsely removed from office

In 159, Li Ying was recruited as Yin of Henan Province. At that time, the powerful Yang yuanqun of Wanling county was dismissed from Beihai county. He was guilty of serious corruption and ransacked treasures everywhere. He even used his car to pull the ingenious things in the toilet of the county house home. Li Ying went up to examine his crime because Yang yuanqun bribed the eunuch, which led to Li Ying being convicted of false accusation. Instead, he was assigned to serve in the left school.

Before that, Li Ying, together with Tingwei Feng Xu and the grand secretary Liu you, had the same heart and soul to report and punish those who were evil and favored. At this time, Feng Xu and Liu you were also falsely accused and assigned to work in the left school. Only by appealing to Emperor Huan for Li Ying and others can they be pardoned.

upright and outspoken

Li Ying was later promoted to a higher position and was appointed as the commander of Sili school. At that time, Zhang Shuo, the younger brother of eunuch Zhang rang, was the magistrate of yewang county. He was greedy, cruel and lawless, and killed a pregnant woman. When he heard about Li Ying's dignity, he fled back to the capital and hid in Zhang rang's house. When Li Ying knew about it, he led the officials to tear down the clamp column, captured Zhang Shuo and delivered him to the prison in Luoyang county. After recording the confession, we will correct it.

Zhang rang complained to Emperor Huan about the injustice. Emperor Huan summoned Li Ying into the hall and personally went to the porch to ask why Li Ying had executed first and then played. Li Ying replied: "in the past, Duke Wen of Jin captured Duke Wei Cheng and returned to the capital. The spring and Autumn Annals affirmed his behavior. In the book of rites, it is said that "if a public family has committed a crime, even if the monarch says to forgive him, the officials will strictly abide by the law and will not listen.". Once upon a time, Confucius killed Shao Zhengmao when he was the commander of the state of Lu for seven days. Now that I have been on duty for ten days, I am afraid of negligence due to delay in handling affairs. Unexpectedly, I have been charged with speeding up the handling of cases. I do know my guilt. My death is coming. I'd like to ask you to stay with me for five days, to put out the evil within a time limit, and to come back to be punished by cooking. This is my original wish in my life Emperor Huan didn't say anything more. He turned to Zhang rang and said, "it's your brother's fault. What's wrong with Sili?" He sent Li Ying out. From then on, all the yellow gate and constant attendants bowed down and didn't dare to make a sound. They didn't dare to go out of the palace again when they were on vacation. Emperor Huan asked in surprise what the reason was. They all kowtowed to tears and said, "I'm afraid of Captain Li." At that time, the imperial court was getting more and more disordered and the discipline was getting worse. Only Li Ying kept his elegant demeanor alone, and he was noble by virtue of his reputation. Some scholars were received by him, which was called denglongmen at that time.

Return home without official

In the ninth year of Yanxi (166), Li Ying was persecuted because of the first party imprisonment. When investigating and verifying Li Ying's crime, we have to go through the case of Taiwei, situ and Sikong. Taiwei Chen Fan refused to accept it. He said: "all those who have been examined and corrected are ministers who are concerned about state affairs and loyal and selfless. Such people should be forgiven even if they are handed down to the next generation. Should they be arrested and tortured if the charges are not clear? " He refused to sign the file.

Emperor Huan became more angry and imprisoned Li Ying and others in Huangmen North Temple Prison. Because some eunuchs' children were involved in the case of Li Ying and others, most eunuchs were afraid and asked emperor Huan for Amnesty according to the time. So an imperial edict was issued to grant amnesty to the whole world. Li Ying was also removed from office and returned to his hometown to live in Yangcheng mountain. Scholars and officials all over the world think that Li Ying's morality is noble and the court is dirty. Before long, chen fan was removed from the post of Taiwei, and both the imperial court and the literati wanted Li Ying to be Taiwei. Xun Shuang was worried about Li Ying's fame and causing trouble. He wanted him to tolerate and save his life in troubled times. He wrote to him and advised him to live in seclusion to avoid trouble.

At that time, the people who pursued high moral integrity at home and abroad flaunted for each other and set the label for the world's celebrities. Li Ying, Xun Yi, Du MI, Wang Chang, Liu you, Wei Lang, Zhao Dian and Zhu Yu are the "eight heroes".

Disaster and death

In the first year of Yongkang (167), Emperor Huan died, Emperor Hanling ascended the throne, and Chen Fan was appointed as Taifu. He and general Dou Wu jointly presided over the court. They conspired to kill eunuchs. He appointed the world famous people, and Li Ying was appointed the Changle Prefecture. Before long, chen fan and Dou Wu's plot failed, and Li Ying and others were dismissed.

In the second year of Jianning (169), because of Zhang Jian's second party imprisonment, the imperial court began to arrest the party members involved. "Fellow Li can go," he said Li Ying replied, "if you serve the monarch, you will not escape from disaster. If you are guilty, you will not escape punishment. This is my virtue. I'm sixty years old. I'm destined to die and live. Where can I go? " He took the initiative to go to the prison designated by the imperial edict and was tortured to death. His wife and children were exiled to the border, and his students, old officials and their fathers and brothers were all imprisoned.
