Features: During the late Eastern Han Dynasty, Emperor Huangdi was on the throne. The consort's general Liang Ji was arrogant and powerful, dominating the court. He held the emperor hostage to command the states and manipulated Emperor Huangdi at will. He also imposed heavy taxes and lived in debauchery, with pleasure gardens stretching for thousands of miles just for his amusement. After Emperor Huangdi's wedding and assumption of personal rule, he used the eunuch faction and some loyal ministers and generals to eliminate Liang Ji, decisively crushing the consort faction. However, with the "Five Eunuchs Enfeoffed as Marquises," the power of the eunuch faction gradually expanded, sowing new hidden dangers for the Eastern Han regime.
