Another characteristic of Donglin Party members is that they are very good at "blaming off". Every time something goes wrong, they always find the fault of others but never reflect on themselves. For example, for the failure of the Battle of Songjin, they put all the blame on
Hong Chengchou said that he escaped before the battle, but in fact, although Hong Chengchou surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, he did try his best during the war. The real problem lay in the court's military deployment and logistical support, but the Donglin Party members avoided talking about it.
During the seventeen years of Emperor Chongzhen's reign, it can be said that he was tortured by the Donglin Party members. When he wanted to do something, the Donglin Party members said he was arbitrary; when he wanted to listen to different opinions, the Donglin Party members said he was indecisive.
The "eternal merits" of the Lin Party members, they successfully turned the Ming Empire, which still had hope, into a mess of fragments, internal and external troubles. When the Manchu troops came to the city, this group of people hid faster than anyone else. From then on.
It only took more than ten years between Chongzhen's hanging and the fall of Nanming. Such a large empire collapsed so suddenly, and the Donglin Party was indispensable! Of course, history is never black and white, and there are indeed some Donglin Party members.
Some upright and talented people made certain contributions to resisting the monopoly of eunuchs and safeguarding the interests of the civil service group, but in general their actions contributed to the decline of the Ming Dynasty.
To a certain extent, the tragedy of the Donglin Party members is also the tragedy of the scholar-official class in ancient China. They clung to the old thinking patterns and were unable to adapt to the rapidly changing current situation. Their failure marked the end of an era.
The tragedy of the Ming Dynasty will stop here for now.
The tragedy of the Pantheon is...everyone here is a Donglin Party member.
Let them talk, each of them is very good at talking.
Toth feels that his talents are being buried and his suggestions are not listened to... This is not a special case. It is the norm, because everyone here will put forward good suggestions... But the problem is, who will implement them!
Those people clamored passionately to attack Geer.
But no one stood up and said: I will attack Geer!
Yes, each of them is clamoring for revenge and annihilation of Geer, but they are all talking to others.
Just like the Donglin Party, the Donglin Party claims to be loyal to the emperor and patriotic, but in fact, not every one of these people, but most of them are just for their own interests! What do they say, they want to stabilize the people?
, but these people are the ones who exploit the people the most!
In fact, there were many scholar-bureaucrats in ancient China.
The representative figure among them is Xu Jie!
Yan Song, a famous treacherous minister in the Ming Dynasty, served as the chief minister for more than ten years. After his house was confiscated, his property was not as good as that of Xu Jie, a famous loyal minister of the same era. Yan Song had been the chief minister for more than ten years, and the reason why he was called a treacherous minister was because of manipulation
In the government, they harmed loyal people and amassed money wantonly; on the contrary, Xu Jie had an excellent reputation among the people and even in history books, but their wealth was beyond the reach of even the famous corrupt official Yan Song.
Yan Song helped Jiajing harm Xia Yan and Zeng Mian, as well as the Gengxu Rebellion. The most serious thing should be the harm to Zeng Mian, which was simply an operation like Qin Hui's. Everything Yan Song did during his years in office was beneficial to the dynasty, and there were
There are not as many things that benefit the people as Xu Jie. When I became a member of the public servants, the more I read Xu Jie, the more I admired his patience and deepness in officialdom, his gentleness and ease in dealing with others, being tolerant and obedient, not fighting with others, and doing well.
Relationships, set up a good persona, handle the relationship between superiors and subordinates, stick to the old ways, not be radical, don't seek credit, just seek no faults. Cai Dongfan commented on Xu Jie: "Xu Jie's deceit is no less than that of Yan Song, and then many people destroy Song and he is praised.
, using the deceptive plan of steps, it was designed for Song. It was clear that there were no steps, who would depose Song? Then he knew that he would do it according to the place, and his deception would become famous. This is why the ancient sages valued power and Taoism."
Xu Jie and his family had committed a huge amount of corruption and occupied a lot of people's land. This was confirmed by Hai Rui and Hai Qingtian.
As for the outcome of the two families, Yan Song's son, Yan Shifan, known as Xiao Ge Lao, was sentenced to death, and Yan Song himself ended up living on the street. Xu Jie was better than Yan Ge Lao, but not much better. The eldest son and the second son were sent to the army, and the younger brother
The son's nationality was reduced to civilian status. The property of Xu's family was confiscated and his house was burned. He himself had no choice but to seek refuge in another country.
Comparing the two families, they are only half as good as each other.
But whether it is now or then, Mr. Xu Ge's reputation is much better than that of Mr. Yan Ge!
Whether it's history books, the TV series Ming Dynasty 1566, or those stories about the Ming Dynasty that we admire very much. As a leader who opposes strictness, Xu Jie has a very positive image. Is it because he is not greedy enough? Or is it because of his family?
Didn’t he have enough farmland? Or was it just as he said, that he was far away in the capital and had no idea what his sons were doing in Songjiang? It’s definitely nonsense to say he had no knowledge! If it weren’t for the various things that happened after Hai Rui took office
After checking the land of Qingzhang, it was found that Xu Ge had long been enjoying his retirement life on the mountain of gold and silver.
The author of those stories about the Ming Dynasty gave the answer to this phenomenon that everyone was greedy, but Xu Jie worked and Yan Song did not, so Mr. Xu Ge had a better reputation than Mr. Yan Ge.
I think there is nothing wrong with this, but the deeper thing is. It’s not that Yan Song didn’t work, it’s that he didn’t do the work he was supposed to do. It can even be said that for the literati group, Yan Song is an out-and-out
Traitor, let's talk about the middle and late Ming Dynasty. The three major camps of military power, ministerial power, and eunuch power are unavoidable. Under normal circumstances, the emperor would drag the eunuchs together to compete with the ministers. You come and I go, no
It's a joy. The first assistant should be the captain of the minister's side. As a captain, you don't need to be very capable, but you can't go there. And Captain Yan directly became the leader of the other side, Jiajing's
Pendant. How can the game be played with such blatant behavior? And because he is the first assistant and captain, he can also decide who can and cannot play on the minister's side. Even for players who don't understand his behavior,
For example, people like Yang Jishan would directly break the rules and carry out physical attacks and physical destruction. In fact, the ministers of the Ming Dynasty were punished by the emperor, harmed by eunuchs, beaten by the imperial staff, and even killed by the staff. But you, Yan Song, are us
The people here are still captains. The captain takes the lead in attacking his own people, without principles or bottom line. This is the main reason why Yan Song became the most treacherous minister in the Ming Dynasty. On the other hand, Xu Jie, after overthrowing Yan Song and becoming the chief minister, as a civil servant
The new leading brother can be said to have firmly held his position. Faced with Jiajing's request, he dared to say no. Faced with Hai Rui who scolded Jiajing, he dared to defend. Faced with the official who criticized him, he spat.
Facing all the contradictions around him, he became very happy. Moreover, he also has a very useful identity, that is, he is the successor of Wang Yangming's philosophy of mind. Therefore, whether in the ministerial system or in the academic field among the people,
In the literary world, Xu Jie has done everything that a person of his own should do. The so-called reputation is nothing more than given by these two groups of people. This has resulted in the fact that even though the Xu Jie family is a common man, they are just criticized.
A passing situation occurred.
A concept to be mentioned here is the literary world. You must not underestimate this group. I have always thought that it would be very miserable to offend historians, but in fact it is even worse to offend folk literary and art workers. Because history books are something that future generations will go to.
After all, there are only a few people who read it well. But if a person becomes a villain in a play, then he is truly a household name and popular among the people.
In fact, Xu Jie is more harmful than Yan Song!
From the above, Xu Jie seems to be a prudent and honest virtuous minister and good minister, and has nothing to do with treachery or evil. Unfortunately, a hypocrite is not a gentleman after all, and paper cannot keep fire. Xu Jie's ugly face was exposed in his later years
To the world.
The danger lies here.
He told future generations how to be an official!
As a result, the Donglin Party has a group of "good officials" with extremely good reputations on the surface. In fact, compared with the Eunuch Party, this group of people has not only made no progress at all, but even has a lower limit. The Donglin Party has brought disaster to the country and the people.
There are many people, even this is the norm, but others package it well!
What? A natural disaster?
Oh, it was the eunuchs who caused it!
What? Exorbitant taxes?
Oh, the emperor wants to collect it!
What? The country is lost?
It’s all the blame on those stupid and treacherous officials!
Anyway, let them say everything, get a lot of benefits, and do nothing!
The same goes for the gods in the Pantheon.
They shouted passionately, as if they were really worried about the country and the people, but in fact these people couldn't get anything serious done!
Everyone wants to lose face.
If Zeus had dared to say such things before, he would have been scolded!
But the problem is that Zeus has dragged everyone into the water... Now it's over, there's nothing left to do.
Of course they can be shameless.
But the problem is that Zeus is more shameless than them. If you dare to say you are not afraid, then it’s over. Zeus really dares to send you out!
This is the crux.
Of course, there is another reason, that is, they cannot defeat Zeus!
This is important.
"The Black Death Sword... everyone knows what it is. The more gods that thing kills, the stronger the God-Slayer Gal will be! If I bring a large group of gods to encircle and suppress him, it will only make him more and more powerful.
The stronger he gets, until he is strong enough to completely destroy us!"
Zeus said confidently.
"So, the most important thing we should do now is to preserve our strength and not have a head-on confrontation with Geer! If we deal with him now, it will only make the situation worse. Those gods who are not strong will become nourishment for the Black Death Sword.
What do you think I should do?"
Zeus raised his head and looked around: "What do you think I should do?!!!"
The gods were whispering, but no one stood up and said anything, they were just whispering.
In fact, they all supported Zeus's remarks, but standing up to support them seemed too cowardly and embarrassing.
But they didn't dare to object.
So it became like this.
Kai and Thor were both speechless. Damn it, these people are really... If Geer didn't cause trouble for Earth and Asgard, Kai thought that maybe Geer would massacre them, and Kai would be quite willing to help. Look at these.
What are the assholes doing?
Squeeze believers and harvest believers without any shame, and you can even openly admit your cowardice.
Is this still Zeus?
He has long been alienated into a slippery, hesitant, timid and failed middle-aged man!
Of course, in a sense, there is nothing wrong with this.
Kai can't ask others to fight to the death. This can be regarded as a kind of hooliganism. But the problem is that Geer is the enemy of the gods. If the gods themselves don't pay attention to it...then it's finished!
Thor finally couldn't help it anymore: "Don't you know that his ultimate goal has always been you?!!"
In fact, Geer's ultimate goal changed and became that he wanted to resurrect his daughter.
Of course, he wouldn't mind killing the gods before resurrecting his daughter.
After all, if he dies and his daughter lives and the gods are still around, who knows what the gods will do to his daughter?
There was an issue that Kai and Thor had never seriously thought about before, and that was what Melinoe said before, that Geer wanted to enter the Eternal Altar in order to save his daughter.
This involves a problem.
Why did Geer resurrect his daughter?
What is his purpose of resurrecting his daughter? On the one hand, of course, it is to make up for it, and on the other hand, it is also to satisfy himself... Although it is a bit selfish to say this, it is indeed the case. Geer's idea of resurrecting his daughter is just for
To fill the emptiness in his heart... To put it simply, he has had enough of life. He feels that his life in the world is meaningless.
He wanted his daughter to live a good life in his place.
This is easy to guess. After all, hatred is easy to say, but when it really falls on one person, it is too heavy!
Before revenge, the whole person was suppressed by hatred, without any chance to breathe.
After revenge... I didn't get much. Although I no longer had the feeling of being overwhelmed, there was only emptiness left. The greater and deeper the hatred, the greater the emptiness.
After all, even if you take revenge, some things cannot go back to the past.
So Geer was willing to give his life in exchange for his daughter.
At this point, not only Kai, but even Thor also thinks this is possible.
But the problem is, he died and resurrected his daughter... what the hell kind of operation is this?
It's not that it's wrong to do so.
But he must first ensure that after he resurrects his daughter, his daughter can continue to live.
Otherwise, if he burps on the front foot and kills his daughter on the back foot, what is he trying to do?
Tu-95?
Okay, even if the gods are generous in the end, and even all the gods die, okay. What about his daughter?
How old is his daughter? Can she survive alone?
Not to mention that the planet he is on is still a primitive society. This kind of oil bottle is either caught and sacrificed as a sacrifice, or he is caught and used as a slave... In developed countries on the earth, orphans of several years old are so alive.
It is extremely difficult, and the mortality rate of orphans has always been very high, which is true in all countries. Some countries with good welfare are slightly better, but only slightly better, but still much higher than the mortality rate of normal children.
For such a child, Geer intends to let her live alone in such a terrible world?
It's better to let her remain dead... to avoid suffering!
(When I watched the movie, I never quite understood why it was done like this in the movie. Even if Thor had good intentions and adopted this child... don't forget that the Pantheon is still around! As long as the relatives and friends of a god can't bear it
If you live there, then it’s over. The ending in the comics is better, where Geer goes crazy and is taken in)
