Liang Ji, the most greedy general in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Liang Ji, the number one corrupt official in the Eastern Han Dynasty, took advantage of his position as a general to take bribes. Many bribers come to give gifts. He even investigated and registered the assets of wealthy businessmen and large households across the country, and then convicted and extorted more than 3 billion assets. Finally, he was raided by Emperor Huan and committed suicide.

Liang Ji, whose real name is Zhuo Bo, is Liang Shangzi. The two sisters are Shun Di and Empress Huan. When I was a teenager, I was a famous young man in Beijing, relying on the status of royalty, idleness, drinking and fighting, cockfighting, gambling and whoring. After his father Liang Shang died, he became a general. Liang Jia's wealth and power rank first in the world.

In the first year of Yonghe (136), when he was a member of Henan Yin, he took bribes and perverted the law. At that time, Luoyang made Fang Lu a guest of his father's past, and he told Liang Shang what Ji Liang had done in Henan. After being scolded by his father, Liang Ji knew that this was Fang Lu's accusation, so he assassinated Fang Lu. Fang Lu's younger brother took orders from Luo Yang, falsely accused Fang Lu of being harmed by an enemy, found a so-called "enemy" to destroy his family, and killed more than 100 people for no reason.

In the sixth year of Yonghe (14 1), his father died, and Liang Ji was appointed as a general by Emperor Shun of Han Dynasty, and his stepfather was in charge of state affairs. He also took this opportunity to promote his younger brother Liang to Henan Yin to help him cover up his bad politics in Henan. At that time, there was a doctor named Zhang Gang, who boldly played the emperor, citing the illegal Liang brothers as "consorts", "greed" and "excesses" and was not suitable for holding important positions. With a grudge against Zhang, he soon found an excuse to drive Zhang Gang out of Beijing and demote him to Guangling (now northwest of Yangzhou, Jiangsu) as a satrap.
