Liang Fang's life

Ming Xianzong is a eunuch. Liang Fang is as greedy and arrogant as Wissing. During the Chenghua period, Wan Guifei (Wan Zhener) was in favor and sent her beautiful pearls every day to please her. His confidants, such as Qian Neng, Wei asap and Jing Wong, scrambled to lend them to the emperor in the name of purchasing, went out to be eunuchs in major towns, made trouble everywhere and searched for property. However, because of Wan Guifei, the emperor didn't ask all these things. Liang Fang also introduced the devil Plum Province and monk Ji Xiao, who colluded with each other to seek personal gain by unfair means. Thousands of people were directly sealed by them with imperial edicts, all of whom were called Chuanfeng officials, and some even jumped from unknown ordinary people to Taichangqing. Zheng Shi, governor of Shaanxi Province, exposed Liang Fang and was dismissed. Zheng Shi was an upright official, but he was unfairly punished. People sympathized with him and sent him away with tears. The emperor listened and regretted it. He drove away ten officials and put six of them in prison. From now on, all those who are granted official positions by imperial edict will be repeated, but Liang Fang will not be punished. Liang Fang asked the emperor to let him inherit Guangping Hou, but Xianzong actually took aim.

Liang Fang's mother was in her hometown, so Liang Fang asked Xianzong for permission to let his younger brother Fu Liangde in Jin Yiwei Town often travel between the capital and Xinhui to pay homage to her elderly mother. Liang De took the opportunity to collect flowers, trees, birds and animals all over Guangdong and paid tribute to the emperor in his personal capacity. All the expenses such as boats, vehicles, porters and food packaging he used were supplied by the government, which became a scourge to local officials and people. Therefore, Shao Peng, the left ambassador of Guangdong, accused Liang Fang of negligence. Liang Fang was furious, slandered Xian Zongjin and transferred Shao Peng to Guizhou. Lin Jun, the minister of punishments, was also put into prison for impeaching Liang Fang and monk Ji Xiao.

Liang Fang often squanders the money in the palace. After a period of time, Xianzong went to the Neiku to inspect and found that the seven treasuries of gold accumulated by several dynasties were all used up. He said to Liang Fang and another eunuch, Wei Xing, "It's all because of you two." Wissing did not dare to answer, but Liang Fang argued: "The Epiphany Palace and various temples were built just to pray for your majesty's eternal happiness." Xianzong said unhappily, "I won't find fault with you, and people will settle accounts with you later." Liang Fang was very scared, so she persuaded the emperor to abolish the prince and change the king into a prince. Just then Mount Tai shook repeatedly, and the fortune teller said that this celestial phenomenon should be on the prince. Xianzong was afraid, so it didn't happen.

In the twenty-first year of Chenghua (1485), there was a meteor that sounded like thunder. Xianzong was afraid, so he wrote a letter telling the truth, and asked officials on the road to impeach Liang Fang and so on. Although Xian Zong didn't blame his ministers, he still didn't punish Liang Fang.

In the 23rd year of Chenghua (1487), Xian Zong died and Xiao Zong proclaimed himself emperor. Liang Fang was demoted to a junior supervisor in Nanking and retired home on charges of disturbing state affairs. Liang Fang hurriedly returned the original Heyuan Temple and Yongqing Zhuangtian to him. Later, Liang Fang has not been activated.
