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

Chapter 654 Chongzhen has means, but uses them in the wrong place
[The death of Emperor Tianqi and the rise of Emperor Chongzhen were undoubtedly a blessing for the Donglin Party members who were suffering in the court at that time.]

[They were too hopeful that the situation would improve.]

【But this is not something that can be done with just a wave of the hand. 】

[The eunuch party led by Wei Zhongxian has infiltrated all industries and departments, and things still need to be done step by step. ]

……

{Suddenly a question came up... How much of the criticism that Tianqi and Wei Zhongxian received was due to their inaction? How much of it was due to the strong subjective consciousness of the people who compiled the history books?}
……

Yanhan·Lingdi Period
Liu Hong was looking at the sky as quietly as a chicken.

I just felt that gaze, whizzing around all over me.

The glance made him feel very uncomfortable.

He really wanted to shout at these people:
Wake up! Just because the compiler is not innocent doesn't mean Wei Zhongxian is not evil!
But once he said this, it would be like he was going to use eunuchs again.

The less trouble, the better.

Just take a glance...

……

[When Chongzhen first ascended the throne, everything remained the same. ]

[At that time, power was still in the hands of the two eunuchs Wei Zhongxian and Wang Tiqian, and Chongzhen kept asking them about the political arrangements of the previous dynasty or consulting them.]

[Everything was proceeding in an orderly manner and seemed very quiet, but this quietness made Wei Zhongxian feel uneasy.]

……

In the canopy,
The emperor looked gentle and kind.

The two eunuchs on the left and right were also very obedient.

Only His Highness and his ministers glared upwards.

……

[It stands to reason that after Zhu Youjian, his mortal enemy, came to power, he should have cleared himself out. But everything remained the same, which was indeed too abnormal.]

[In order to test Emperor Chongzhen, Wei Zhongxian began to take the initiative. ]

[In September of the seventh year of the Tianqi reign (1627), he proposed to the emperor to resign from the post of governor of the East Factory. Emperor Chongzhen not only did not agree, but also tried to comfort him.]

[Chongzhen's move made Wei Zhongxian even more anxious, and he decided to continue testing the waters.]

[Wei Zhongxian again petitioned to exempt the palace from spending 30,000 taels on funeral incense and candles, and Chongzhen approved it this time.]

[As a result, Wei Zhongxian was feeling uneasy again. The emperor agreed to reduce the funeral expenses for Tianqi, which meant that he was not completely nostalgic for the past, but he also tried to keep Wei Zhongxian. Wei Zhongxian could not figure out the emperor's thoughts.]

【Seeing that he could not figure out the reason by himself, Wei Zhongxian asked the seal holder Wang Tiqian to test it.】

[Because Chongzhen's attitude towards Wang Tiqian can be seen from his attitude towards himself.]

……

Tang Dynasty and Gaozong period
Li Zhi leaned sideways on the soft pillow, with an expression of regret or admiration that was hard to tell.

Wei Zhongxian’s analysis was correct. The more abnormal things are, the more worrying they are, because you cannot see the future outcome.

Chongzhen’s approach was to respond to ever-changing situations by remaining unchanged.

If I don't move, you will be in trouble.

The more chaotic it is, the more mistakes will be made.

All it takes is one excuse and you're leveled.

However, Li Zhi thought of Zhu Youjian, who was briefly described in the sky curtain.

"My personality is unpredictable... I'm afraid I'll make more mistakes as I do more."

……

[The day after the incense and candle incident, Wang Tiqian submitted a petition to resign, and Chongzhen also comforted him but did not agree.]

[Then, Wei Zhongxian made a third attempt to test the waters. He asked all places to stop building his ancestral temple.]

[In response to this request, Chongzhen approved it.]

……

Ming dynasty.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the words "Shengci" expressionlessly.

"Our words are like fart to them..."

"This is really weird. Why are the eunuchs against us?"

Seeing this, Queen Ma sighed helplessly.

His evil fire is getting stronger and stronger...

Or why don’t you prepare some golden medicine for some of the emperors who will come after you?
……

Ming Dynasty·Chenghua Period
Zhu Jianshen's eyelids twitched.

"Tianqi, you..."

Building a shrine is against regulations.

But the thought just flashed through my mind.

Because he suddenly thought of something. Since Emperor Taizong, it seems that few of the Ming emperors in the past dynasties did things in a safe and orderly manner and in accordance with regulations...

Zhu Jianshen looked at Wan Zhen'er who was making tea for him.

I really have no right to talk about the word "regulation"...

……

【Chongzhen agreed to Wei Zhongxian's request just to reassure him.】

If the emperor did not approve the request to stop the construction of the ancestral temple, it would appear that the emperor was on guard against him.

[Wei Zhongxian's attempts were all resolved by Chongzhen, but he still did not see the reason. He asked the governor and the inspector of Jiangxi to submit petitions to build a shrine for him to test the emperor's further reaction.]

[At this point, Chongzhen still had the patience to continue playing with him.]

[When faced with the memorials submitted by the Jiangxi governor and the provincial governor, Chongzhen evaded them by saying, “There was an imperial decree issued before.”]

[In order to completely dispel Wei Zhongxian's doubts, Chongzhen began to reward the eunuch party members with money, gifts, titles, and official positions.]

【After Emperor Chongzhen's tireless performance, Wei Zhongxian's doubts were not completely dispelled, but he felt a little relieved. 】

……

The period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty
Liu Che was really surprised this time.

"That's a good method, isn't it? Why does Tianmu's evaluation say that?"

With a little pulling and tugging, all of Wei Zhongxian's temptations were eliminated without alerting the enemy.

If the identity of eunuch is converted into that of an official of the outer court.

Chongzhen's move was the most standard method used by a vassal king to appease the old ministers of the imperial court when he ascended the throne!
This is the standard template set by Emperor Wen.

This is the perfect embodiment of copying homework!
"This kid is much smarter than Zhu Yunwen."

Liu Che could not forget the other emperor of the Zhu family who could not even copy his homework.

"You seem to have the early Ming Dynasty and the late Ming Dynasty reversed a bit?"

……

[Wei Zhongxian took a break, but Chongzhen did not.]

[From the end of the seventh year of the Tianqi reign, Chongzhen transferred the eunuchs from Prince Xin's mansion into the palace to serve as his close attendants, and transferred Xu Yingyuan, who had a close relationship with him, to the Silijian. Then, he dismissed the eunuchs who had close ties with Wei Zhongxian to Nanjing.]

[In this way, Chongzhen quietly controlled the inner court without making a sound.]

【The Emperor and Wei Zhongxian's fight was watched by all the officials in the court.】

[Among these people, apart from the disgraced Donglin Party, most of them were eunuch party officials.]

[After they figured out the new emperor's thoughts, they were ready to follow his lead at any time.]

[In October of the seventh year of the Tianqi reign, Yang Weiyuan, a member of the eunuch party and the censor of Yunnan Province of the Censorate, was the first to submit a memorial to impeach Cui Chengxiu, the core member of the eunuch party and the Minister of War.]

【Chongzhen initially ignored Yang's memorial.】

[Yang Weiyuan then submitted a second memorial, impeaching Cui Chengxiu even more fiercely.]

【This time, Chongzhen accepted Yang Weiyuan's petition and ordered Cui Chengxiu to return home. 】

……

Song Taizong period
Zhao Kuangyi stroked his beard and praised.

“He’s screening.”

“Keeping silent is an attitude.”

“This is how you judge whether the other party is truly willing to defect, but you don’t push them too hard, or you’ll lose your chance.”

"It's a pity that it was used in the wrong place."

"I'm just a servant...why do you have to do this?"

Zhao Heng also noticed it.

What eunuch party? It's clearly the emperor's party!

It turns out that the eunuch party was just a loose alliance.

The emperor doesn't even need to do anything, this party can bite each other and tear themselves apart!
After all the fuss, Tianqi dragged a bunch of people to force Daming...

……

[This move by Chongzhen undoubtedly sent a strong signal to the outer court. The bureaucrats all over the country understood the emperor's intention, and memorials impeaching the eunuch party flew into the Qianqing Palace one after another, and the spearhead gradually pointed to Wei Zhongxian. ]

[In November of the seventh year of the Tianqi reign, Chongzhen officially began to deal with Wei Zhongxian.]

[The charges against Wei Zhongxian were listed one by one, and Wei Zhongxian was demoted to Fengyang to guard the mausoleum, and Keshi was sent to the laundry bureau to do laundry.]

[Wei Zhongxian committed suicide when he arrived in Fucheng County, Hebei Province, and Keshi was also tortured to death in the laundry department.]

【Then, the eunuch party officials in various ministries and agencies were dismissed one by one or convicted and sent into exile.】

It turned out that the eunuch party was just a loose alliance, and before the emperor took any action, the party had already started to attack each other.

[Before the first year of Chongzhen's reign, Chongzhen used lightning-fast means to wipe out the core members of the eunuch party. His speed was fast and his means were fierce.]

[But this action easily shattered the stable situation that Tianqi had worked so hard to obtain. ]
