Edit the history, and count the top ten emperors at the beginning!

Chapter 51 The king died in Sheji, but he really died

In the parallel world where Zhu Youjian lives.

The moment the wordless stele fell from the sky, it was surrounded by the imperial army.

Since the matter of Wei Zhongxian had just passed away not long ago, the nerves of the Ming court were still quite tense.

[When Zhu Youjian succeeded to the throne as the emperor, the most powerful person in the court at that time was the great eunuch Wei Zhongxian.

What he wants is a baby who is easy to control to be the emperor, not Zhu Youjian who is too old and difficult to manipulate.

At this time, Wei Zhongxian had actually taken control of the imperial court's spy agency, and even most of the officials had voted for Wei Zhongxian.

On the other hand, Zhu Youjian only got the support of the Queen Mother and a few loyal officials who were dissatisfied with Wei Zhongxian. 】

[The disparity in strength between the two parties is so great that Zhu Youjian is always on guard against Wei Zhongxian's possible unfavorable actions against him.He even brought his own food for meals, and tried to stay with a large group of people on weekdays, just to avoid being assassinated by Wei Zhongxian's men. 】

[While guarding against Wei Zhongxian's possible assassination of him, Zhu Youjian also pretended to be polite, extremely obedient, and very respectful of Wei Zhongxian, just like his brother Zhu Youxiao. 】

[Zhu Youjian spent a month to gain the trust of Wei Zhongxian, and at the same time secretly contacted the forces opposing Wei Zhongxian.

Three months after Zhu Youjian found out the overall situation of the Qing court, he resolutely took the initiative to attack and successfully wiped out the forces of Wei Zhongxian's line.

Wei Zhongxian committed suicide, and more than 200 officials who served him were either executed or expelled.

So far, the most powerful and evil official in the Ming Dynasty was finally completely destroyed by this young Emperor Chongzhen. 】

Liu Xiu was a little puzzled and said, "From this point of view, this Zhu Youjian is not stupid!"

The corners of Liu Che's mouth curled up slightly, and he said, "Pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger, which is a true biography of my great-grandfather. Then why is this emperor a fool?"

There was a cold look in Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes, and he said to himself: "The eunuch?"

Zhu Di fell into deep thought, and thought to himself: "Is it wrong for me to use eunuchs again?"

[But history always makes some nasty jokes sometimes.

Although Wei Zhongxian committed a heinous crime, he was really a very capable and discerning eunuch.

After Wei Zhongxian's death, only 17 years later, Ming Dynasty perished! 】

"Why???" Zhu Youjian couldn't believe it, he couldn't figure out why he got rid of the biggest cancer in the Ming Dynasty, but Daming died instead!

[When Wei Zhongxian was there, although he was in chaos and plundered the people's fat and anointment for himself, he was clear about the importance, and he also used part of the money for state finances and military expenditures, and gave priority to guaranteeing the materials and goods in the Liaodong area at that time. Soldiers pay. 】

[After Wei Zhongxian died, the Donglin Party gradually took control of the government.

In fact, most of the Donglin Party members were from the southeast scholar-bureaucrat class, and most of the money Wei Zhongxian looted was also collected from the homes of these southeastern scholar-bureaucrats.

After these people returned to power, what they did was even more ingenious and stupid than Wei Zhongxian!
They not only monopolized the court and interests, but also cut off the people's livelihood.

In addition to internal friction, they did not have Wei Zhongxian's brilliant means and vision, which led to the corruption of the frontier and the loss of their reputation. In the end, rebels rose everywhere and the building would collapse! 】

[In short, as Wei Zhongxian was killed by Emperor Chongzhen, Wei Zhongxian's party members were severely punished, and the Donglin Party rose rapidly after losing its restraint.

They caused chaos in the court, leading to the rapid decline of Ming's national strength, and triggered a large number of peasant uprisings in the country.

In the 17th year of Ming Sizong, Emperor Chongzhen, Li Zicheng invaded Beijing, Emperor Chongzhen hanged himself on Meishan Mountain, and the Ming Empire declared its demise. 】

Zhu Youjian's heart and expression are broken at the moment.

He really couldn't understand why the group of Donglin party literati who seemed to be gentlemen ended up harming the entire Ming Dynasty!
"We know that these scholars don't have a good thing!"

Zhu Yuanzhang killed a lot of scholars, maybe he really saw the filth of these people long ago?
Zhu Di took a deep breath and murmured: "I'd better continue to use eunuchs. These scholars really need a force that can compete with them."

In Zhu Youjian's world, those Donglin party members fell silent collectively.

They seemed to sense a storm hidden in the calm, and they all began to exchange glances with each other, preparing to meet the emperor's thunderous wrath.

But they didn't know that Zhu Youjian was passing out alone in the imperial study at the moment.

[After talking about external causes, let's look at internal causes. 】

[In addition to external factors such as natural disasters, the Donglin Party, the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and peasant uprisings, the other biggest factor that led to the demise of the Ming Dynasty was actually Zhu Youjian himself. 】

【He is self-willed, suspicious, good at killing ministers, made mistakes and insisted on going his own way.

He basically made all the mistakes an emperor could make, and at the same time messed up the two aspects of "relationship with the people" and "relationship with the bureaucracy".The key is that he was still very hardworking, which accelerated the demise of Daming even more. 】

The expression on Liu Xiu's face was a little awkward, and she said, "I take back what I said before."

"Sure enough, what Su Shangshen said is correct, he is a very hardworking idiot!"

"It's God's will to have such an emperor in my Ming stall, right?!"

[Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youjian has the ambition to rejuvenate the Ming Dynasty, but he has no talent to help the country!
His efforts and all his actions hastened the demise of Daming. It can be said that God made an extremely absurd joke on Daming. 】

[But even though the country was destroyed and the family was destroyed, Emperor Chongzhen still remembered the ancestral motto of his ancestors - "The emperor guards the gate of the country, and the king dies in the country!"]

[After Li Zicheng broke through Beiping City, Zhu Youjian personally ended the lives of his family members, and then he also ended his own life with a white silk on a tree with a crooked neck in Meishan! 】

[Although some people despise Zhu Youjian's behavior of attacking his family, compared with Song Huizong's, the whole family's women have become Jurchens' playthings, and perhaps dying immediately is another relief. 】

Seeing this, Song Huizong Zhao Ji's face turned green, and even his hair became green.

Xuan Ye sighed and said: "A bowl at the beginning and a rope at the end. This is the Ming Dynasty. But I have to admit that both Lao Zhu and Zhu Laosi are the formidable masters of Zhongxing!"

Seeing his tragic ending, Zhu Youjian showed unwillingness and struggle on his face,
"No! I will never let Daming end up like this, and I will never let the country passed down by my ancestors be lost in my hands!! Su Qian! Immortal Su! Please help me!!!"

[Zhu Youjian has lofty aspirations, strives hard to govern, takes care of his clothes and food, and does everything by himself. He is very diligent in governing the country; however, he has no strategy for governing the country, and he is incompetent in employing people, coupled with suspicion, suspicion, harshness, and cruelty, resulting in constant party disputes , The government is chaotic. 】

[There is a poem that sums him up very vividly:]

[If the heart is not benevolent, it will lead to poverty, and the reduction of husband's salary is a lot of work.It's a pity that he died in 300 years, and he was worried about his diligence and vigilance. 】

[Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youjian was an ambitious but lacking in talent emperor, he made a lot of efforts in governing the country.

However, his political measures were either too radical, or simply went against the sky; and he employed unknown people, squeezed the people, killed ministers and famous generals unjustly, and finally led to the decline and collapse of the Ming Dynasty. 】

[Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youjian ranks ninth among the top ten fatuous emperors in history, and he deserves his name! 】
