When Emperor Huan of Han ascended the throne, a great snake appeared in Deyang Hall. Chunyu Yi, superintendent of the markets in Luoyang, said, “A snake has scales, an image of armor and weapons. Its appearance within the palace foretells that a high minister from the empress’s family will fall victim to armed force.” He then abandoned his post and fled into seclusion. In time, the emperor had General-in-Chief Liang Ji put to death and his family arrested and tried, with troops deployed throughout the capital.
