Han Taiwei Yang Zhen

Yang Zhen is a very famous Taiwei in the history of the Eastern Han Dynasty. His clean and honest style has been passed down by later generations. Among them, the most widely circulated is his "four famous sayings", which are: "Heaven knows, earth knows, son knows, I know, why don't I know?". Yang Zhen has been an official in the court for more than ten years. He is loyal to the king and loves the people. He is loved by the people and admired by officials in the government and the public. However, during the Eastern Han Dynasty, eunuchs had great influence in the court, and the leading eunuch was Fan Feng, the official in charge of the imperial court. In the court, in order to win the favor of the emperor and to continuously strengthen his power in the government and the public, Fan Feng was always an enemy of Yang Zhen. He tried every means to frame Yang Zhen several times, and colluded with the emperor's nanny Wang Sheng and his daughter Borong to make trouble... The emperor once made trouble. While on a trip, Fan Feng and his gang actually forged an imperial edict. Unexpectedly, the Dongchuang incident was discovered by Yang Zhen's cronies. They were already in a position to catch all the rebels, but when the emperor returned to the palace, Fan Feng took the lead and sued Yang Zhen first. Instead, Yang Zhen was accused of treason. Yang Zhen was unjustly condemned to return to his hometown, but on the way, he was killed by Fan Feng who tricked him into giving him poisonous wine. The following year Emperor Shun came to the throne, and Yang Zhen was wronged. He paid millions of dollars and was buried in Tongting.
