Chapter 185 Wang Hua's Horror Background of the Northeast Jinyiwei!
Chapter 189 Zhu Di: My ancestral grave was dug up?
[After cutting off Wei Zhongxian, you worked hard and worked hard to restore the decline of the Ming Dynasty.]
[When the emperor's brother Zhu Youxiao ascended the throne, he faced two choices: First, refuse the throne and die a cowardly death. Second, ascend the throne as emperor and revitalize the country and save the country.]
[Apocalypse Emperor Zhu Youxiao made the third choice: try his best to stabilize the situation and leave the choice to the next emperor. 】
[He cannot restore the Ming Dynasty, but he can delay the decline of the Ming Dynasty and let the next emperor make a choice, or bear the infamy of a subjugated king for him.]
[Now, you are faced with the same choice as your imperial brother Zhu Youxiao, and you have chosen to "resuscitate and save the country" without hesitation. You believe that the Ming Dynasty will not die in your own hands, and you will lead the Ming Dynasty towards the great cause of restoration! 】
【You have absolute confidence in yourself.】
Zhu Di was roaring: "You have so much self-confidence! That's all you have left!!!!"
Emperor Chongzhen pacified the eunuchs with a snap of his fingers. If it were Zhu Di, he would do the same.
However, before he pacified the Eunuch Party, he would once again support a "Wei Zhongxian", a Wei Zhongxian who was loyal to him, and would help him inherit the imperial power of the Eunuch Party and use it to suppress the Donglin Party.
Wei Zhongxian was killed because he wanted to seize power, not simply to kill people.
[Although the court has no money, you do.]
After the fall of the Eunuch Party, no one from the Donglin Party was there to restrict the government, and Jinyiwei was completely paralyzed, which brought more disasters. The root cause of all this was that Emperor Chongzhen had lost the ability to restrain his courtiers.
【Supervisor Sun Chuanting is a good man.】
[It is no longer unusual for the military to be underpaid. The main reason is that the court has no money. But this problem has nothing to do with you, because the court has no money, but it is caused by the system, not your intention.]
[Outside the court, Liaodong has been seriously invaded by Hou Jin, almost to the point of irreversibility. Once Liaodong is completely destroyed, the capital of the Ming Dynasty will face a situation where it cannot be defended. In order to save Liaodong, you have given this important task to
Yuan Chonghuan, the former governor of Liaodong, who had successively won the great victory of Ningyuan and the great victory of Ningjin in the last years of Tianqi.]
[During the Chongzhen Dynasty, you had a total of fifty chief ministers in the cabinet. In the more than two hundred years of the Ming Dynasty, there were only a total of 160 chief ministers!]
Zhu Yuanzhang: "Translate, translate, what the fuck is a surprise!"
This was his own choice.
[You tried hard to find capable ministers among the civil servants and appoint them to save the Ming Dynasty. However, after searching around, you found out: there are no capable ministers and loyal ministers, they are all traitors, evil thieves and corrupt officials!]
Let Ming go!
If you use this method, you can turn living people into dead people. How can you govern the country?
You are so diligent. The more diligent you are, the faster Ming Dynasty will die!
Zhu Di was about to kneel before Chongzhen!
Please stop being so diligent!
[What will happen to good people under your hands? Who dares to be a good person?]
[But is Wen Tiren really a born traitor? 】
[In fact, Yuan Chonghuan was not willing to take over the mess of Liaodong. From April to July of the first year of Chongzhen, Yuan Chonghuan resigned twice. After he could no longer refuse, he promised to "restore Liaodong in five years." In the second year , because you were too harsh on Ji Miyong and Liaodong military expenditure issues, Yuan Chonghuan resigned again.]
[In all dynasties, there are only a handful of emperors who can be more diligent than you.]
[After Yuan Chonghuan proposed five years of peace in Liaoning, your support was not as positive as you said. Although Yuan Chonghuan had cut the funding for Liaodong by one-fifth, which was the lowest funding for any previous Liao governor, you still stopped him for four years. Monthly military pay.]
How can you do it!
Throughout the dynasties, it was common to dig up ancestral tombs, but Zhu Di had never heard of the ancestral tombs disappearing while the dynasty was still there!
Zhu Di: "Surprise or not?"
[Everyone was silent. If Jisi's changes could be accepted by everyone, the fact that Zuling Fengyang was exposed was tantamount to lifting the fig leaf of the imperial court, allowing everyone to see the weak side of the Ming Dynasty. , trampling on the dignity of the Ming Dynasty underfoot.】
[In the first month of the eighth year of Chongzhen, Fengyang, the land of Taizu Longxing, was captured by the rebels such as the King of Sweepers and the King of Taiping. The ancestral mausoleum of the Ming Dynasty was burned. Not only that, the thief Zhang Xianzhong lived happily on the tomb of the ancestral mausoleum for three days and three days. Night, just left happily!】
Zhu Di: "What the fuck? My grandfather's grave was dug up?!"
What a surprise!
[Yuan Chonghuan is like a double-edged sword. If you can control him, he will be a sharp knife that cuts through thorns. If you cannot control him, you will hurt others and yourself. 】 [On the fifth day of June in the second year of Chongzhen, Yuan Chonghuan killed Mao Wenlong, the commander-in-chief of the Dongjiang River, on Shuangdao by beheading him first and reporting later, and then went to Shu to plead guilty. After you learned about this, everyone was dumbfounded, but they still had a negative attitude toward Yuan Chonghuan's "Five Years of Ping Liao". I hope, so instead of criticizing, I actually praise and respond.】
[After the fall of the Eunuch Party, the Donglin Party continued to expand, and the cabinet even had a nickname-"Donglin Cabinet". Since then, Donglin has been prosperous!]
[There is a price for refusing to speak out. After constant fermentation, the Ningyuan Mutiny and the Jinzhou Mutiny were finally brewed. The decadence was out of control.]
[However, you don’t care about any of this. You only care about one thing: five years of Ping Liao.]
Zhu Di could not imagine how he would meet Taizu after his death if he passed the throne to Zhu Gaochi!
[You don’t understand why Ming Dynasty is declining faster even though you are so diligent? 】
[Famines are frequent and food harvests are poor, especially in the northwest and central plains. Uprisings break out repeatedly in various places, and the whole country is in rebellion!]
[The chief minister of the cabinet, Wen Tiren, is a man of great talent. He can beat the Donglin Party to the ground by himself. If his talent is used in the right place, he will definitely be a minister who saves the country. He is the longest-serving minister in the Chongzhen court. However, During his tenure, the internal and external troubles in the Ming Dynasty worsened. Wen Tiren made almost no important achievements or countermeasures. Instead, he blindly rejected dissidents and used his fists in party struggles.]
[If you are willing to give Yuan Chonghuan a small part of the money from your internal funds, even a small part, even if Yuan Chonghuan cannot pacify the Liao Dynasty for five years, you can guarantee that you can contain Hou Jin's offensive. Yuan Chonghuan is currently in Liaodong
They were all so poor that they could not get their pay for several months, and they even wanted to kill Yuan Chonghuan.]
[After the Jisi Incident, you were eager to vent your anger and killed many civil and military officials, including the Minister of War, Liu Ce, the governor of Jiliao, Geng Ruqi, the governor of Shanxi, Zhang Shixian, the commander-in-chief, and soon after, you executed Yuan Chonghuan in Lingchi.]
[You finally realized that you were deceived by the Donglin Party. In order to check and balance Donglin, you used Wen Tiren, the Minister of Rites, Zhou Yanru, the right minister of the Ministry of Rites, Wang Yongguang, the Minister of Personnel, Shen Yongmao, the minister of the Ministry of War, and other non-Donglin Party members.
Officials, come and limit the situation of Donglin Dasheng.】
His mentality is broken!
[Although you have been crying about poverty, it does not mean that you are really poor. In fact, in your private treasury, that is, in your internal funds, you have always maintained a staggering amount of wealth, amounting to more than 30 million.
two.】
[Although you are not the cause of the problem, it does not mean that you do not have a solution to the problem.]
[Taking this opportunity, you began to crazily suppress the Donglin Party and let Zhou Yanru and Wen Tiren join the cabinet to take charge.]
[However, because of this matter, you have already developed a desire to alienate Yuan Chonghuan, and you have the idea of finding someone to replace Yuan Chonghuan. However, after the Guan Ning Army led by Yuan Chonghuan intercepted the Jin Army, it failed. The Jurchen Chief Huang Taiji led the army to fight at the gate of the capital.
, did whatever he wanted in the capital, and finally returned to the Northeast with great arrogance. This battle was called the "Ji Si Change". The dignity of the Ming Dynasty was trampled under the hooves of horses by foreigners. You have completely given up hope on Yuan Chonghuan.】
Could it be that by killing Wei Zhongxian, the situation in the court would be clear and the Ming Dynasty would be saved?
absurd!
[Throughout the years of the Ming Dynasty, there were only four cabinet bachelors who were killed. You killed two of them by yourself. There were fourteen ministers of the Ministry of War. You killed five of them. Four of them were dismissed, served as ministers, imprisoned, etc.
, you killed more than 20 ministers of rank 2 or above. After the Jisi Incident, you even killed more than 40 ministers in one go.】
Zhu Di: "The surprise is that my descendants, Zhu Laosi, failed to guard their ancestral graves and allowed the rebels to dig up your father's grave. They also sang and danced on your father's grave and lived happily for three days and three nights!"
Zhu Yuanzhang: "?"
Damn Chongzhen!
You stepped on the horse and returned my ancestral grave!
Zhu Di finally understood one thing now: "In this situation, it doesn't matter whether the person in power has the ability or not. As long as he does nothing, it will be his greatest contribution to the Ming Dynasty."
[Wen Tiren also wants to be a good person. Who wants to bear the reputation of a traitor? Does he dare? 】
After Zhu Yuanzhang proclaimed himself emperor, he rebuilt a mausoleum in Fengyang in order to posthumously recognize his father, grandfather, etc. as the emperor, and it was the dragon line of the Zhu family.
[But you don’t. Your internal funds are your own and you won’t give a dime to others. This is your little treasury and has nothing to do with the court. How can there be any reason to give your own money to others? 】
[The only general who can fight tough battles without military pay is Yuan Chonghuan. Who can you use if you don’t need him?]
[You get up every day when the rooster crows, you stay awake at night, and there is never any feasting in the palace. Not only do you insist on regular court, but also go to the Wenhua Palace to summon important ministers to discuss political affairs except in the hot summer and severe cold. You have never
He was lazy in reviewing memorials, often reviewing them until late into the night, and even issued imperial edicts in the middle of the night.]
[You summoned Yuan Chonghuan back to the capital, ordered the Jinyi Guards to arrest him and imprison him, and sent Sun Chengzong to appease the Guan Ning army who was running eastward. You also replaced Yuan Chonghuan with Liang Tingdong and Mangui as civil and military managers.]
[Sun Chuanting and Hong Chengchou went to quell the rebels, killed Zhang Xianzhong, captured Gao Yingxiang, and almost killed the rebel Li Zicheng. Although Li Zicheng survived by luck, he was also very miserable. He took Liu Zongmin and other 17 remaining people to hide in the ravine.
The ditch is shivering.]
[Then you suspected that Sun Chuanting was pretending to be ill, so you arrested him for pretending to be ill, and even wanted to kill him at one point. In the end, it seemed that it was no longer possible, and after thinking about it, there was no one left to fight, so you hired Sun Chuanting again.]
[Sun Chuanting had just come out of prison at this time and did not understand the situation on the front line because he had basically extinguished Li Zicheng back then. The small flames had already flickered and were about to be extinguished. He said: Give me five thousand elite soldiers and I will extinguish them.
