dictatorship

Father of Empress Dowager.
He was a imperator of the Han dynasty at that time.
(New emperor ascended the throne at the age of 12.)

And the Imperial Court group won him over to their side.

He seems to have been originally leisure class.
Along with his ​​daughter become Empress, he was also appointed to public office.
(Although it seems that he did not want it.)

He was a gentle and intellectual person.
And his connection with the Imperial Court group seems to was strong originally.　
In short，their origin was the same.
　
"I will correct an injustice as elder of the imperial family.
There is the obligation to me."

After this，he would be the main figure in this conspiracy.

"He has authority to the armed forces.
Our plan is as good as successful by this."

"Problem that is left to us.
It is a great opportunity to swoop them.
That's all."
　
The Imperial Court group would have thought so.


・・・・・・・・・
 　

However，in fact there was a further problem .

He was certainly imperator.　
And he had authority to the armed forces surely.
　
But he was not a man who is good at handling practical business details.
(He was reluctant to imperial court service at the first place.)　
Therefore，all practical business had been done by his subordinates.
　
He was the presence of a figurehead.
But he might had thought for granted it.

"Elder of imperial family.”

He might had been overestimated this authority.
And the problem more than anything else，this conspiracy was done openly too.
　
"Justice is present to our side.　
We do the divine retribution on fair and square."　
　
They might had too respecting moral law still.
It also could have been the meaning of antithesis against their hostile forces.
(Although support of public opinion gathered in them hence of course.)

In a nutshell, they were still optimistic.
Hand of the deal were already stretched to his subordinates.

"To subdue the rebels to emperor."
　
Suddenly, armed forces were mobilized in this nominal by the inner palace group.
And the Imperial Court group had been completely destroyed as enemies of the dynasty.
　　
　
・・・・・・・・・
　
　
Father of Empress Dowager.
He committed suicide at bay.　
　
And key member of more than 100 people.
They death penalty.
More than 600 people of the Imperial Court group.
They were expelled public office permanently.
　
15 years later，large rebellion called "Yellow Turban Rebellion" occurs. (黄巾之乱)
Dictatorship of the inner palace group followed until then.
