Life of the characters

Prophecy of the world

Yang Hou's grandfather was Yang Chunqing, who was good at divination and was the Minister of Gongsun Shu. Han soldiers pacified Shu, and Yang Chunqing committed suicide. On his deathbed, he told his son Yang Tong, "there are some secret records handed down by my ancestors in my life. You should study hard." Yang Tong was grateful for his father's last words. After three years of mourning, he followed Qian Wei and Zhou Xun to learn the methods of his ancestors. He also learned from Zheng Boshan, a native of the same county, the book of Heluo and the technique of astronomy. Jianzhong junior high school was the magistrate of Pengcheng county. A state suffered from severe drought. Yang Tong carried out the technique of eliminating Yin and Yang, and the county boundary was covered with rain. Emperor zongzhan asked Yang Tong to ask for rain for the county, and it also brought rain. Since then, the imperial court has paid more visits to him for any disaster.

Persuading two mothers

Yang Hou's mother and ex-wife's son Yang Bo were not in harmony. Yang Hou was only nine years old at that time. If he wanted them to make up, he used the excuse that he didn't talk or eat when he was sick. Mother knew what he meant. He changed his attitude and gave more support to his ex-wife and son. Yang Bo later became an official of Guanglu.

Prophecy and admonition

Yang Hou studied Yang Tong's studies since he was a child. In 109, Taibai entered Beidou, Luoyang Dashui. At that time, Yang Tong was a servant, and Yang Hou followed him in the capital. When the imperial court asked Yang Tong about this, Yang Tong said that he was old and his eyes and ears were not clear. His son Yang Hou was familiar with divination and knew what it meant. Empress Dowager Deng then sent a servant to ask Yang Hou. Yang Hou replied, "most of the princes are in the capital. They may change. We should send them back to their own countries as soon as possible." The Empress Dowager listened, and the white star soon disappeared. Luoyang Dashui also naturally withdrew, all as Yang Hou said. So the court appointed Yang Hou as Zhonglang. The Empress Dowager specially introduced him and asked him about the prophecy. However, Yang Hou was not satisfied with the Empress Dowager's intention and was removed from his post to go home. Learning to work in Qianwei again should not be ordered by prefectures and Sangong. Fangzheng, Youdao and Gongche would not take office. In the second year of Yongjian (127), Emperor Shun of the Han Dynasty issued an imperial edict to urge the counties to dispatch. Yang Hou had no choice but to go to Chang'an, where he told himself that he was ill. Because of Chen's bad luck in 350 years of the Han Dynasty, he should improve the laws and regulations, and eliminate disasters. There was an imperial edict for the Taiyi to treat the doctor with medicine and the taiguan to reward the YANGJIU. When he arrived, he immediately worshipped the official as Yilang and was promoted to Shizhong three times. In the fourth year of Yongjian (129), Yang HOUSHANG said: "there will be a great cold this summer. When there is a plague of locusts. " This year, as expected, locusts infested Liuzhou, epidemic epidemic. Then Yang Hou remonstrated that "the two sides in the northwest have military spirit and should be prepared to fight against the border bandits.". The car was going to tour the west, but I felt Yang's words. In 134, Xiqiang invaded Longyou. In 135, Wu Huan besieged Liao general Geng Ye. In the first year of Yonghe (136th year), Yang Hou wrote that "there should be floods in the capital, there should be fires, and there should be dismissals of the three officials.". Barbarians should be rebellious. In the summer of that year, there was a flood in Luoyang, and more than a thousand people died. In the winter, Chengfu hall was on fire. Taiwei spoiled Jingzhou and Jiaozhou barbarians, killed the officials and invaded the city. He also said that "the Yin ministers, the close relatives and the imperial concubines should be affected.". In the second year of Yonghe (137), song amu's adultery with the eunuch Baoxin Hou Liyuan was abolished; in the fourth year of Yonghe (139), Zhongchang Shi Zhang Kui was ambushed for the crime of falsely ignoring the dictatorship of the General Liang Shang. Every time there is a disaster, Yang Hou often presents a way to eliminate and rescue, but the eunuch dictatorship can not be trusted.

Concentrate on learning

Liang Ji, the general, was in power and sent his younger brother to serve him. Liang budoubtlessly gave Yang Hou chariots, horses and pearls to meet him. Yang Hou did not answer and insisted that he wanted to withdraw when he was ill. With the emperor's permission, he rewarded the chariots, horses, money and silk to go home. There are more than 3000 people on the list who are practicing Huang Lao's skills and teaching students. Taiwei Li Gu recommended it several times. In the first year of Benchu (146), Empress Dowager Liang issued an imperial edict to prepare ancient rites to employ Yang Hou. In the third year of Jianhe (149), the Empress Dowager issued an imperial edict to recruit her. After four years, she did not take office. In 153, Yang Hou died at home at the age of 82. The emperor hanged a memorial ceremony with his book. The villagers gave him the posthumous title of Wenfu. The students set up a temple for him and offered sacrifices to him.
