turned himself

The Imperial Court group.
The inner palace group.

Broadly speaking, two factions were present in government of the Han Dynasty at that time.

The Imperial Court group.

In short，this is the officials of the Han dynasty government.
They were made up of graduates of the University of the Han Dynasty mainly.
(School for training of officials.)

The inner palace group.

In short，they were servant of the imperial family of the Han dynasty.

Note:Man was not able to enter the inner palace.
Therefore，they were men who were castrated.


・・・・・・・・・
　

Of course, formal government is the former.

However, the emperor had absolute authority in the dynasty.
And the inner palace group was strengthened private influence gradually to him.

They were able to talk with the emperor of the Han dynasty at a place where officials can not enter.
　
And his family.　
In contact with the day-to-day with them.
It was the latter of course.　
Private influence to them has also been enhanced.

A power relationship between the two had been reversed unawares.

"They're mere private servant of the imperial family.
But current，they monopoly the government.
We can not tolerate this situation."

Finally, impeachment motion like this began in the Imperial Court group.
But this impeachment failed by the counterattack of The inner palace group immediately.

As result，many people were expelled public office.

This was the first disasters of Partisan Prohibitions.


・・・・・・・・・


However，in retrospect，everything seems to have been idyllic yet.　

"Be expelled from public office.
This is proof of the justice group."

In response to this incident，people of Changan seems to said so.
In fact, they acted fairly and openly.

"I'm also a fellow of them.
You should banish me."

It seems there was a person who turned himself in that way.
