The short video shows the ancient times, and the emperors cried with envy!

Chapter 252: There are many nobles, corrupt officials are rampant, and the Ming Dynasty is destroyed? Lao Zhu became murderous: These dog officials should all be killed!

Ming dynasty.

Zhu Yuanzhang, who overthrew the corrupt Yuan Ting in one fell swoop, was also deep in thought at this moment.

Obviously, according to the explanation of the dynasty cycle law, the Yuan Dynasty was a mediocre dynasty without a leader of Zhongxing.

But what Zhu Yuanzhang knew better was why he wanted to rebel?

Isn’t it just because you can’t afford to eat?

Zhu Yuanzhang was curious, why didn't such an important thing be exposed in this sky?

So, the picture continues to change.

[The problem lies with the gentry group. When they develop into a huge interest group, they will also become corrupted and push the dynasty to collapse. 】

[No matter how stupid and incompetent the emperor is, it will not be enough to destroy the dynasty. Only the collective degeneration of the gentry group is the root cause of the dynasty's demise. 】

[Why is the so-called ZTE short-lived? Because it was a personal victory for the imperial power, he could not change the declining trend of the gentry group.

[For example, in the Western Han Dynasty, they directly relied on "votes" to push Wang Mang and destroyed the Liu family. 】

[Another example is the Sui Dynasty. When the gentry group was unhappy, they directly killed Emperor Sui Yang. 】

[For example, in the Ming Dynasty, Chongzhen was so anxious that he could not change the selfish nature of the gentry group. 】

[The cycle from the formation of noble groups to interest groups and then to corruption and decadence is the true cyclical law of the dynasty! 】

Big man.

The great ancestor Liu Bang was instantly shocked.

Is the so-called Wang Mang just a pawn of the gentry group?

Liu Bang suddenly had other thoughts at this moment. If he could control all these nobles, would he be able to gain peace?

There is no doubt that the most powerful noble clans in the world are those kings with different surnames...

Only then did Liu Bang realize that killing those kings with different surnames did not seem to be a wrong thing, but a good thing that would benefit the future!

Great Sui.

Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty Yang Jian instantly overturned the previous speculation.

He didn't expect that the real reason for the demise of the Sui Dynasty was the gentry?

Datang.

Taizong Li Shimin felt even more powerless at this moment.

At this moment, he no longer doubted the authenticity of the words on the sky screen.

After seeing the power of the noble clan, for the sake of the stability of the Tang Dynasty, he would never do anything to destroy the Great Wall.

Even though this is poison, the current Tang Dynasty also needs such a dose of poison!

Ming dynasty.

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youjian felt very angry after looking at the scene on the sky screen.

Yes, those nobles clearly have a lot of wealth in their hands.

But at this critical moment when the country is in ruins and the country is in ruins, everyone is actually standing on the sidelines.

One can imagine the anger in Zhu Youjian's heart.

However, the Ming Dynasty is currently in turmoil. Zhu Youjian wants to change everything but is powerless.

……

[The root cause of the collapse of the dynasty is the three major contradictions! 】

[First, the conflict between imperial power and the gentry group]

[Don’t look at the gentry group shouting “loyalty to the emperor” all day long. When the emperor’s interests conflict with theirs, they will inevitably betray the emperor’s father. For example, there are so many Zen positions in history. Without the support of the gentry group, which powerful official would have this ability? 】

[Another example is that there are many emperors who died inexplicably (such as Tang Shunzong), and nine out of ten of them were caused by interest groups. Another example is the notorious Wang Mang and Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, who actually offended the gentry group and were blackmailed. 】

[The emperor is an individual, and the gentry group is a group. Individual problems are easy to solve, but groups run on inertia. It is harder to change than to reach the sky. 】

Han Dynasty, New Dynasty.

The new emperor Wang Mang looked at the analysis on the sky screen, feeling really mixed in his heart at this moment.

The overthrow of the Han Dynasty relied on the group of gentry and civil servants, but Wang Mang never imagined that the collapse of the new dynasty was also related to this group of gentry.

Even these people are still slandering and slandering themselves behind their backs?

Sui Dynasty. Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty suddenly realized at this moment that the nobles in the court were actually the culprits of the downfall of the Sui Dynasty.

For a time, all kinds of emotions were mixed in his heart, and Yang Guang suddenly had countless murderous intentions.

……

[Conflicts within the gentry group! 】

[The gentry group divided and formed opposing interests. The most typical ones are the Northern Song Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty, which were the most intense periods of party struggle in Chinese history. 】

[The struggle between the old and new parties in the Northern Song Dynasty was superficially a dispute over Wang Anshi's reform stance. In fact, it was just a matter of using the reform controversy to promote party unity and defeat dissenters, and to gain personal political interests. 】

[In the late Ming Dynasty, the dispute between the Eunuch Party and the Donglin Party was the main line. Along with the disputes between Zhejiang Party, Qi Party, Chu Party, Kun Party, Xuan Party and other factions, the court was in a mess. No matter who proposed any plan, as long as it was not his own Those who are factional will definitely be severely punished. The result is that whoever does something will seek death, and the whole court is waiting for lightning to strike. 】

Northern Song Dynasty.

The wine bottle held by Taizu Zhao Kuangyin fell into the hall with a clang.

Chongwu is a dead end, and he is the precedent...

But he did not expect that Chongwen could not avoid the fall of the Song Dynasty, and even suffered humiliation due to the lack of force.

Later generations were even more bewitched by treacherous ministers, and pushed the Song Dynasty step by step into the abyss of destruction!

In the Southern Song Dynasty, General Yue Fei was particularly emotional when he looked at the content on the sky screen.

I thought that after the establishment of the Southern Song Dynasty, many of the shortcomings of the previous dynasty would be eliminated and the country would be restored.

Can……

Who would have thought that he almost lost his life, and that there was no hope of regaining the country.

But aren’t those so-called gentry the rebellious ministers and rebels who are at the height of their power in the government today?

The Southern Song Dynasty had just been established, but Yue Fei felt a sense of despair in his heart. It seemed that such a country was hopeless!

Ming dynasty.

Emperor Hongwu was angry and slapped the case.

He has always believed in one truth: all corrupt officials in the world should be killed!

And now, the reasons for the fall of the Ming Dynasty were directly listed on the sky screen. As expected, they were inseparable from those dog officials.

No one can know the sourness in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart.

After all, the Ming Dynasty was conquered by him personally, and what he tried hard to change was the exploited life of the people.

But who would have thought that the Ming Dynasty would reach this point?

Lao Zhu was really angry at this moment.

"Kill all these dog officials for us!"

……

[Conflict between the powerful and the common people]

[When the conflict between the interests of the imperial power and the gentry group reached a certain level, the dynasty was at its wits end. In particular, farmers' lands were annexed in large numbers, and they lost their roots of survival and became refugees. 】

[Refugees are the source of social unrest. They evolved from exile into an armed force against the government. If it is used by some noble groups/political forces again, it will be in vain even if the gods take action. 】

[For example, during the establishment of the Eastern Han Dynasty, a few giants such as Liu Xiu, Wei Xiao, and Gongsun Shu were all gentry groups, and farmers were their tools. 】

In the Forbidden Imperial City.

Hongwu Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang closed his eyes helplessly.

Ever since he saw the so-called gentry group developing into an interest group, Zhu Yuanzhang had already understood it in his heart.

Regardless of the fact that he has not read many books, regardless of the fact that he is just a farmer...

But I feel deeply about the root of the rebellion.

Yes, he has completely understood it at this moment!

Ever since he chose the path of rebellion, he was destined to be the target of rebellion.
