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

Chapter 639: Tianqi Party Struggle - Liaoshen Campaign
On the canopy.

A cynical look on his face.

The emperor sat on the dragon throne, holding a wooden tray in his hand.

On the wooden tray are miniature scenes of various landscapes and courtyards, and in the courtyards there are wooden figures singing and dancing.

Under the Danbi.

The eunuchs confronted the courtiers.

……

[Since Emperor Taichang reigned for only one month, the court designated August to December of the 48th year of the Wanli reign as the first year of Taichang.]

[On the sixth day of the ninth month in the first year of Taichang (1620), Zhu Youxiao ascended the throne in Huangji Hall and issued an edict to designate the following year as the first year of Tianqi, and was known in history as Ming Xizong.]

[As a continuation of the "National Foundation Dispute", the Donglin Party tried their best to protect Zhu Changluo and his son, resisted Concubine Zheng, and attacked other political forces, thus forming a situation in which the Donglin Party members were present in the court at the beginning of the Tianqi period.]

[Because the Donglin Party members were dedicated to their reputation and strictly distinguished between gentlemen and villains, they were too demanding of the moral qualities of politicians. "If there were scholars who were different from others, they would be criticized."]

【Therefore, anyone who does not meet the standards of the Donglin people is considered a villain. 】

[In this way, it is impossible to unite other political forces according to the situation and circumstances, but instead pushes them to the opposite side.]

[Political groups opposed to the Donglin Party began to gather and gradually came under the wing of the eunuch Wei Zhongxian.]

[Thus, during the Tianqi period, a political confrontation between the Donglin Party and the Eunuch Party was formed.]

……

Yanhan·Lingdi Period
Liu Hong kicked his legs and leaned back.

"I'm familiar with this scene!"

"I calculated this with my fingers."

"It won't be long before a great civil uprising sweeps the world!"

Everyone in the hall felt a headache after hearing this man's words of experience.

There is one bad thing about the Liu family emperor.

Always enjoy watching the fun, no matter how big the problem is, even if you are the one causing the fun, you will still enjoy it first and then resolve the issue.

……

Ji Han.

Liu Bei and others were speechless when they saw this messy scene.

At this point they could also understand what kind of will the eunuchs were motivated by.

But still the same sentence.

"Govern a country with benevolence."

Liu Bei understood the magic and power, but he still sneered at them.

……

Tang Dynasty - Wuzong Period
Li Yan recalled the Niu and Li parties.

"At this point, I can't retreat even if I want to."

……

【The first person to become a victim of the struggle between the two parties was Xiong Tingbi, the governor of Liaodong. 】

[From historical records, we know that this person had a hot temper, was stubborn and arrogant, and would curse at anyone or anything he didn't like.]

[Obviously, this kind of person probably doesn’t have very good interpersonal relationships in official circles.]

【Historical books also mention that "many officials in the court hated him."】

[However, Xiong Tingbi had great talents, and was known in history as "a man of unrivaled talent", especially for his accurate insight and judgment of the situation in Liaodong. He was also not afraid of hard work and had a strong execution ability, and was willing to go through fire and water for the sake of state affairs.]

[He guarded the Liaodong area tightly. ]

[In addition to his ability, this was also because Wanli suppressed dissenting opinions in the court and trusted Xiong Tingbi. ]

【As soon as Wanli died, the Donglin Party began to settle accounts. 】

[Because Xiong Tingbi was not a member of their party and had publicly criticized or attacked them many times.]

[When Xiong Tingbi was serving as an inspector, he had a like-minded comrade named Yao Zongwen, with whom he shared many similar political views.]

【Later, Yao Zongwen hoped that Xiong Tingbi would recommend him for a new position, but Xiong Tingbi refused.】

[When Emperor Tianqi ascended the throne, Yao Zongwen launched the first round of attacks against Xiong Tingbi.]

[Afterwards, the Donglin Party followed suit. The most serious ones listed Xiong Tingbi's eight crimes of recklessness and three crimes of deceiving the emperor, and believed that if Xiong Tingbi was not removed from office, "the Liaodong situation would be in jeopardy." ]

【Xiong Tingbi wrote three letters to the emperor, requesting to resign due to illness. 】

【Finally, the joint meeting mainly composed of Donglin officials to discuss this case recommended that Emperor Tianqi agree to Xiong Tingbi's resignation.】

[On September 21, Emperor Tianqi formally ordered the dismissal of Xiong Tingbi from his post as governor of Liaodong. Xiong Tingbi returned the imperial sword and "awaited punishment."]

【Nurhaci had been keeping his troops inactive for more than a year, waiting for this day.】

...the Tang Dynasty.

Li Shimin was heartbroken when he saw this!

"If a person with this kind of personality were born in my time, he would probably become a famous minister in the Lingyan Pavilion."

I can tolerate people like Wei Zheng, and the court can tolerate them. So there is no such thing as a minister with a weird appearance that I cannot tolerate!

Wei Zheng, who was watching Li Chengqian handling government affairs, felt a chill on his back.

He squinted his eyes and glanced at Li Shimin who was beating his feet and stamping his chest in the pavilion.

Li Shimin still had that regretful expression, looking at the sky and sighing:

"It's a pity that I was born in the Ming Dynasty where factional strife is rampant."

……

Song Yingzong Period
What Zhao Shu hates most is this party that claims to be a moral gentleman!
If you are truly moral gentlemen, how could there be any political parties?
It's nothing more than a matter of interests.

"hypocritical!"

When a new emperor comes to power, he naturally has to do something, and naturally there will be a group of frustrated officials who will take the opportunity to show off.

These unhappy officials thought to themselves that the old emperor didn't like them, and now that he had finally died and a new emperor had come, they would have no hope for their official career if they didn't hurry up and flatter him.

Officials from other places could give the emperor the treasures and beauties they had looted.

What should the officials in Beijing do? They have nothing to give, so they have no choice but to overthrow the officials who are blocking the way.

On the one hand, it shows that I have done my best for the country, and on the other hand, it can solve the obstacles. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

"nausea!"

……

Ming Dynasty Yongle Period
Zhu Di suddenly thought of Jiajing's grand etiquette.

"Are you saying they are clearing up the accounts?"

Zhu Gaochi was thinking about it in his mind, and he had the same idea.

"According to my son, it is not."

"They want to use this incident to determine important matters of morality and etiquette!"

"What they want is not the life or death of a minister."

"It's an interpretation of etiquette rules!"

Zhu Di sneered:

"The most important affairs of state are sacrifice and military affairs."

“They have such big hearts.”

……

Qing Dynasty, Kangxi Period
Kangxi looked down on Zhu Youxiao.

"Emperor Chongzhen was a sovereign but without subjects, and Emperor Tianqi was nothing more than the unfinished legacy of his ancestors."

It was the first time that Yinreng saw Khan Ama hate an emperor so much.

But this sentence has quite a bit of meaning...

How does it feel to say that the grapes are sour when you can't eat them?

……

[As soon as the newly appointed Liaodong Governor Yuan Yingtai of the Ming Dynasty took office, he abolished most of Xiong Tingbi's more than a year of hard work and "many changes", and then ambitiously prepared to divide the troops into three groups to recover the lost territory. ]

[Nurhaci led his army quietly to the city of Shenyang without waiting for him to organize his troops.]

[After two days of fierce fighting, Shenyang fell, which was known as the "first bloody battle" since the Liaodong military campaign. ]

[Six days later, Nurhaci led his victorious troops straight to the capital of Liaodong.]

[Liaoyang, the political, economic and cultural center of Liaodong region. ]

[The new governor rushed into the battle. ]

[After three days of bloody battles, Liaoyang fell on March 1621, the first year of the Ming Dynasty ().]

[Governor Yuan Yingtai "wears a sword and seals, draws a knife and commits suicide"]

……

{I have to say here that Yuan Yingtai was a good official. He was very talented and his level of construction and logistics was first-rate.}
{When he was a local official, he repaired canals everywhere and reclaimed wasteland for irrigation. Later, he was transferred to work under Xiong Tingbi to manage logistics. He needed bricks, tiles and wood to build the city, and weapons and gunpowder to equip the army. As long as he was there, nothing was a problem.}
{Not only that, he is also a parent official who truly cares about the people.}
{Not the kind of officials who act as parents to the people, but the kind of officials who treat the people as their parents.}
{When dealing with floods, he could lead the way, live on the river bank, and live with the migrant workers.}
{When there was famine in Shandong, he would pay out of his own pocket to set up a porridge shop to provide relief to the hungry. He even embezzled some of the boring tax revenue to provide famine relief.}
{It also maintains the sense of responsibility of the literati during the Han and Tang dynasties.}
{When he learned that he was appointed as the governor of Liaodong, he immediately killed a white horse as a sacrifice to the gods and swore to heaven that he would dedicate his life to Liaodong.

｝

{The memorial said: I wish to serve Liao from beginning to end, and I also wish that the civil and military officials would not harbor second thoughts and serve me from beginning to end. Anyone who excuses himself will be punished without pardon.}
{He said that he would live and die with Liaodong, and he hoped that the ministers in the court would always support him.}
{It's a pity that he has a strong character and is very capable, but he doesn't understand military affairs and is very soft-hearted, or too kind.}
｛The core of Xiong Tingbi’s policy in Liaodong was harshness. He treated everything harshly. Although the military and social atmosphere in Liaodong was tense, it was well-ordered.｝
{But Yuan Yingtai was too soft-hearted. He changed Xiong Tingbi's defense deployment and harsh policies, giving the old slave an opportunity to take advantage of.}
……

[In the following days, more than 70 cities in Liaodong, including Jinzhou, Fuzhou, Haizhou, Gaizhou, Kuandian, Fenghuang, Anshan, Xiuyan, and Zhenjiang (today's Dandong), were all captured by Nurhaci.]

[Seven days later, on the night of March 29th in the first year of the Ming Dynasty, at a celebration banquet, Nurhaci announced the relocation of the capital and designated Liaoyang as the capital of the Later Jin Dynasty.]
