The six-dimensional pictures of emperors of all dynasties were exposed, and the ancestors panicked

Chapter 560: Emperor Chun of Ming Dynasty - Zhu Jianshen
[For the next two years, the "Little Prince" attacked Hetao one after another.]

【During this period, the imperial court built the Great Wall outside the traditional Great Wall.】

[When the Tatars attacked again the following year, they were let in and then beaten up behind closed doors.]

【I didn’t come back in the third year.】

【Thanks to the joint efforts of Wang Yue and Wang Zhi, the safety of the Hetao Plain area has been relatively guaranteed.】

【Wang Yue was in charge of training troops and deploying defenses. Wang Zhi began to rectify the military settlements, and a large number of corrupt and cowardly officers were impeached and removed from their posts.】

[If the two were given more time to eliminate corruption within the army and restore the seized military land, they could launch a larger-scale war against the Mongolian tribes, undermining their fighting power and keeping the northern border peaceful for 40 to 50 years, just like during the Zhu Di era.]

……

Tang Xuanzong Period
Li Longji smoothed his hair.

"Wow, this taste, right!"

"When the birds are gone, the good bows are put away!"

……

Great Song.

"From the sound of it, have you lost your ambition?"

Zhao Kuangyin made a rough calculation.

Zhu Jianshen has been in power for more than ten years.

More than ten years is a long time, enough to wear down a person's fighting spirit.

……

Ming Dynasty - Renzong Period
"Why do you all think that fighting is so easy?"

Zhu Gaochi sat on a stone pier to catch his breath.

"We have to get the money first."

"Without money, how can we fight a war?"

……

[In 1482, Zhu Jianshen suddenly ordered the closure of the Western Factory and the cancellation of Wang Zhi's command of the th Regiment.]

[The West Factory was established in the 1477th year of Chenghua ()]

[The eunuch Wang Zhi was appointed as the chief eunuch, overriding the Eastern Depot, and included the Eastern Depot in the scope of his espionage.]

……

{I will take care of everything that the East Factory can control!}
{If the East Factory can't control it, I will control it even more!}

{Execute first and report later, special permission granted by the emperor!}
{This is the West Factory!}
{Your father-in-law’s surname is not Wang!}
{This is not a joke. The West Factory of the Chenghua Dynasty expanded the functions and scope of reconnaissance of the Ming Dynasty spies. The locations of reconnaissance were not limited to the capital and other places.}
{Instead, it was spread all over the border areas in the north and south, which was something that the previous East Factory did not have.}
{From this point of view, it is easy to understand why the civil servants are so angry as if they have stepped on a cat's tail.}
……

Ming Dynasty Yongle Period
Zhu Di stood with his hands on his hips, looking at the sky and sneering.

"So, the East Factory and the Imperial Guard are useless?"

Empress Xu, who was standing by, poured a glass of water for Zhu Di and said slowly:
"Maybe the balance of differentiation is messed up."

"The eunuchs are colluding with some ministers, so can their purity still be trusted?"

"The civil officials are divided into two parties, but aren't the eunuchs also divided into two parties?"

"As the emperor's eyes and ears, the East Factory cannot be fully trusted."

Zhu Di nodded subconsciously in response.

"Ma'am, you are right."

"The establishment of the West Factory is to make the East Factory focus on its work."

"But it was withdrawn in the end..."

……

[The number of Tiqi officers led by the Western Factory also exceeded that of the Eastern Factory. They were spread all over the court and the country, and not only included the princes and nobles, high-ranking officials and petty officials in their scope of espionage, but even the common people were within their scope of investigation.]

[At the same time, if the Xichang Tiqi Captain found someone discussing the court, he would immediately arrest him and bring him to the Xichang for interrogation without going through any judicial procedures.]

[The Minister of Personnel Shang Lu requested Zhu Jianshen to remove the Western Factory on the grounds that "the upright are in power, the scholars and officials are not at ease in their posts, the merchants are not at ease on the road, and the common people are not at ease in their jobs."]

[Zhu Jianshen could not resist Shang Lu's insistence, and the Minister of War Xiang Zhong also wrote a letter requesting the dissolution of the Western Factory. Therefore, in May of the 1477th year of Chenghua (), the Western Factory was disbanded.]

[However, in June of the same year, Shang Lu and Xiang Zhong were dismissed one after another, and the Western Factory was restored.]

[This restoration lasted until the 1482th year of Chenghua ()]

[In this year, after Zhu Jianshen removed the Western Factory, he transferred Wang Zhi to Nanjing as a sixth-rank imperial official for retirement, claiming that he was at odds with local officials and endangered border defense.]

[Immediately afterwards, Wang Yue was also impeached by civil officials and others for colluding with Wang Zhi and was convicted. He was stripped of his title and official position, and all his sons were dismissed from their posts.]

……

{As to why Zhu Jianshen demoted Wang Zhi, punished him, and never re-employed him, there is basically no reliable explanation in historical records.}
{We can only remove all additional emotions and look at the specific things.}
{That is, Wang Zhi and Wang Yue did not suffer any hardship, were not imprisoned, and were not handed over to the court for trial. They were simply demoted or stripped of their titles.}
{When Wang Yue learned that he was convicted and heard that the imperial envoy was coming, he even wanted to commit suicide in order to avoid being imprisoned and humiliated.}
{But after listening to the contents of the imperial edict, it actually didn't matter. It was equivalent to forced retirement, so it didn't matter.}
{On the contrary, after Wang Zhi was convicted, some people wanted to continue to impeach him, but they were all dealt with by Zhu Jianshen, some were imprisoned, some were demoted, and some were fined.}
{All I can say is that the secrets here are very deep and complicated, and it's hard to figure it out.}
……

Yanhan·Mingdi period
Liu Lun couldn't help but hug himself and rub his arms.

Liu Zhuang raised his eyebrows. "What are you doing?"

Liu Yan shrank back and said:
"Father, I don't know why."

"I always feel that the Ming Dynasty was dark and indescribable."

"It's like an undercurrent on the sea."

“Both merge and conflict.”

“I can’t see it, I can’t touch it.”

Liu Zhuang glanced at him and looked up at the sky.

"That's because later generations changed history too much."

"For this situation, we can only wait and see."

……

{Wang Zhi has two talents on his side. The Left Censor-in-Chief Wang Yue and the Liaodong Governor Chen Yue are both powerful figures in the military. That’s why Zhu Jianshen is afraid of him, right? An eunuch makes friends with important officials in the nine frontier regions?}

{If he was afraid, he should have been dismissed and executed. He was dismissed and demoted to Nanjing to give Wang Zhi refuge. He surrendered in public but protected him in secret.}
{Because Wang Zhi was recommended by Concubine Wan. It is said that Wei Qing was the best dowry for Wei Zifu. Is Eunuch Wang the best dowry for Concubine Wan?}
{Anyway, in this kind of factory and guard system, those who can reach the top are not ordinary people, not to mention that this is the Western Factory established later, which must be led by a big man and have the support of the emperor.}
……

The period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty
Liu Che frowned.

"What do you mean by dowry or not?"

"This is all because I have the foresight to recognize heroes!"

Wei Zifu rolled her eyes silently.

Huo Qubing smiled awkwardly.

"besides……"

Liu Che raised his head slightly.

"I admit that you, as a servant, have some abilities."

"But if you want to touch my general, you'd better practice for a few more years!"

……

Yanhan·Lingdi Period
Liu Hong drank silently.

It seems that Zhu Jianshen has reached some unspeakable deal with the ministers in the court.

He glanced at the heroes in the hall.

Eunuchs are the extension of the emperor's will.

……

Tang Dezong Period
"This Wang Zhi is used to check and balance the civil officials."

Li Shi holds little Li Chun in his arms.

"Originally, this task should have been given to the nobles of the Ming Dynasty."

"But it is obvious that the Tumu Incident has implicated all the nobles."

"This task can only be entrusted to the eunuchs."

Little Li Chun was chewing his fingers.

"So...what will happen in the future?"

Li Shi took his little hand and sighed:
"Support the eunuchs to compete with the civil officials."

"The signs of internal friction in the Ming Dynasty are already apparent."

……

On the canopy.

Zhu Jianshen, with several deep scars on his face, leaned against the bed.

He was holding a very old woman in his arms.

He looked at the heavy snow outside the door.

"You left."

"It's hard for me to last long."

……

[On the tenth day of the first lunar month in 1487, Concubine Wan died of illness.]

[Zhu Jianshen stopped attending court for seven days and was posthumously named "Gongsududuanshenrongjing"]

【On August 22, Zhu Jianshen died of illness.】

[He was 41 years old at the time, buried in Maoling, posthumously named "Emperor Chun" and temple name "Xianzong"]
