The emperor of Taichang, Zhu Changluo, would later be named Mingguangzong.
The temple name Guangzong appears rarely and has many interpretations. However, judging from the support of the civil servant group and Zhu Changluo's reciprocation, Guangzong probably meant that he wanted to restore the righteousness of the court, be bright and honor his ancestors.
However, in Wang Hongyu's view, Guangzong was just an unlucky emperor who flew by like light.
After Zhu Changluo died of illness, the most thrilling of the three major cases, the "Palace Relocation Case", immediately occurred in the court.
This was happening right now. Wang Hongyu had given Wei Jinzhong some hints, but had no intention of getting involved.
According to the "History of the Ming Dynasty", this palace transfer case is a fairy tale in which many righteous civil servants fight against the evil Li Xuanshi and Wei Jinzhong to save the young emperor Zhu Youxiao. The logic of the literati is very clear, the evil ones must be the harem and the eunuch.
Wang Hongyu wants to laugh when he thinks of this. Let’s take a look at their logic:
Zhu Youxiao's own mother was tortured to death by a vicious woman named Li Xuanshi. Then this vicious woman teamed up with his mother's direct eunuch Wei Jinzhong in an attempt to imprison and control the young emperor as a puppet and herself as Wu Zetian.
The righteous and brave Donglin Party members broke through the obstruction of the old and incompetent chief ministers, risked their lives to bravely rush into the palace, and rescued the little emperor from them.
The standard plot of justice defeating evil is the most cherished plot among literati. If the beautiful country knew about it, everyone would applaud it.
However, the little emperor changed his mind and used Wei Jinzhong, the dead eunuch who betrayed his own mother, as his closest relative. Five years later, he suddenly turned against him and demoted all the "just heroes" who rescued him.
He was willing to sacrifice himself to death and devoted himself to the great cause of carpentry, leaving all power to Wei Jinzhong.
Because of Wei Jinzhong's friendship with Li Xuanshi and others, the vicious woman who killed his biological mother was made a concubine of Kang by a low-status Xuanshi, and she was served in the palace to take care of her until her old age... In the end, this vicious woman lived until Kang Mazi of the Qing Dynasty.
During this period, he died in his eighties.
After a few decades of cerebral thrombosis, primates really can't do such a thing.
This is the logic of the Donglin Party. It establishes itself as righteous and suddenly becomes a great hero from a low position.
Maybe the thing itself is not that mysterious, but the Donglin Party is good at making up stories and making things happen.
In fact, Zhu Youxiao was the eldest son of Guangzong, and Taichang personally confirmed his inheritance. No one, including Concubine Zheng, could sway him. What's more, as Zhu Youxiao's adoptive mother, Li Xuanshi, it was impossible to stop him from succeeding to the throne.
Secondly, Li Xuanshi can be honored as the Queen Mother, or not. The decision-making power of whether to establish her or not is first in the hands of Emperor Taichang Zhu Changluo. Taichang died suddenly in the Hongwan case and did not make a decision. So the decision-making power
In the hands of Emperor Tianqi Zhu Youxiao.
However, the Donglin Party made the decision for Tianqi Zhu Youxiao!
Complicating simple things, making things up, and making up stories, the Donglin Party maximizes its own interests. This is the root of the matter.
As the most radical group among the civil servants, the Donglin Party first slandered Li Xuanshi and the eunuchs of later dynasties in order to control Zhu Youxiao and prevent him from succeeding to the throne. Together with Zhang Weixian of the British Palace, the eunuch Wang An desperately took away the eldest son of the emperor and helped him immediately ascend the throne, thus promoting the establishment of the throne.
merit.
At the same time, Li Xuanshi and the eunuchs in the harem were splashed with dirty water, and Li Xuanshi was beaten until she could not stand up, creating her own character of eternal justice. In order to prevent her from becoming the queen mother, she directly scolded her as "Wu's Disaster". Various novels were already popular at that time.
Wu Zetian relied on "mother and son" to rise to power. This was a very vicious attack by the literati at that time.
It is impossible for Wu Zetian to exist in the Ming Dynasty. Wanli's mother Li Caifeng and Zhang Juzheng have such a strong alliance. Their abilities, strategies, and methods are very powerful. It is not impossible at all.
Apocalypse is not a cerebral thrombosis, nor is he a coward who swallows his anger. He can clearly see the twists and turns in this, so Yang Lian and others ended up like this.
Fang Congzhe, the first assistant, had no right to decide whether to make Li Xuanshi the Queen Mother, nor could Zhang Weixian of the British Palace, and the Donglin Party had no right to decide.
Minister Gu Ming decided the affairs of the court, not interfered or even broke into the harem to seize people.
The Donglin Party and other radical civil servants accomplished this and maximized their own interests.
In fact, judging from actual performance, Fang Congzhe, a high-ranking minister among the Gu Ming ministers, did not want to prevent Li Xuanshi from becoming the queen mother, because he knew that this was not what he should do.
The natural result is that those ministers who do not support taking Zhu Youxiao away or smearing Li Xuanshi are Donglin's enemies and will be driven away by them in the future.
Fang Congzhe, the leader of the Gu Ming ministers, Huang Jiashan, the Minister of the Ministry of War, who had great achievements in the three parties, Huang Kezuan, the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, who was knowledgeable in firearms and criminal law, and others were all listed.
...
It is very dangerous to intervene against the Donglin Party at this time, but we cannot sit still and wait for death.
Wang Hongyu gave his uncle Liu Shimin and partner Wei Jinzhong a suggestion:
"If the opponent only has civil servants, drive them out resolutely; if the opponent has relatives, avoid direct conflict."
A few days later, the brief but fierce confrontation ended.
Wei Jinzhong passed on the specific facts through secret intelligence channels and informed Wang Hongyu, Zhou Dunji and others immediately.
"It is indeed the British Duke Zhang Weixian."
Just by relying on Yang Lian and others to rush into the palace and cooperate with the eunuch Wang An, they could at most deceive Zhu Youxiao, but they would never be able to snatch him away.
However, the four people who rushed in to carry Zhu Youxiao out were the British Duke Zhang Weixian, the Minister of Civil Affairs Zhou Jiamo, the cabinet member Liu Yijing, the Minister of Rites, and the military officer Yang Lian.
If Li Xuanshi and Wei Jinzhong really asked someone to stop them, none of the Han generals in the palace would dare to move. At this critical moment, the military power of the capital is in the hands of Zhang Weixian.
Even if Wei Jinzhong becomes prosperous in the future, he will be able to deal with the Donglin Party. If he encounters the British public and military power, even if Tianqi personally comes forward, he will not be able to avoid the ending of "falling into the water".
The same thing is said in another way, if Zhu Youxiaofei does not cooperate and insists on making Li Xuanshi the Queen Mother, what will be the result?
That is of course "Why did Your Majesty commit rebellion?"
Since this has not happened, it means that history is generally developing in the original direction and everything is still progressing according to plan.
Then my grasp of the main line of history is still a huge advantage.
After the Donglin Party took control of the court, Emperor Tianqi was temporarily dominated by them.
After these "upright" civil servants took power, they urgently needed to make achievements.
The army gathered in the capital received orders to go north.
The Confederate army was basically assembled during this period.
There were 4,000 Sichuan soldiers, nearly 5,000 Shizhu Baigan soldiers, more than 4,000 Youyang chieftain soldiers, 3,300 Zhejiang soldiers, as well as some Guangdong soldiers and more than 1,000 Jizhen soldiers, totaling 17,000 soldiers.
Of the 17,000 Confederate soldiers and horses, only 1,000 servants and scouts were mounted for combat. The remaining chariots and mules and horses used for baggage transport were not used for combat, so 16,000 of them were infantry.
Wang Hongyu, Zhou Dunji, Zhang Shenwu, Chen Ce, Tong Zhongkui, Qi Jin, Qin Liangyu and other generals were ready to go to the Liaodong war.
