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

Chapter 675 Chongzhen's Achievements

{All the details of Chongzhen's suicide are combined from "History of Ming Dynasty" and "Chronicle of Ming Dynasty".}
{The source of this story is probably the Jiashen Chuanxinlu written by Qian Shixin around 1653, which is hard to say is highly reliable.}
{Although Chongzhen's martyrdom is extremely well-known, except for the fact that he committed suicide, almost all the details are controversial.}
{The reason is simple. Due to the change of dynasties and the purge of officials, there is a lack of reliable historical data.}
｛There are many specific controversial issues. One is whether Chongzhen left a will. Although Emperor Sizong of the Ming Dynasty left a will in his clothes, the mainstream view is actually skeptical about this matter. Generally speaking, when discussing the wills of the Ming Dynasty, most people stop at Tianqi.｝
{Second, why did the capital of the Ming Dynasty not organize a decent resistance? Traditional historians or customarily attributed the smooth sailing of the Dashun since the beginning of the Eastern Expedition to the surrender of the Ming Dynasty towns, but in recent years, there is a view that it was because of the outbreak of plague in North China at that time, which led to serious casualties in the Beijing camp and made it unable to resist. }
{Third, was there any peace negotiation between Ming and Shun before the fall of Beijing, and to what extent did it progress? Because of the lack of historical data and the deliberate avoidance of the parties involved, it is generally believed that the two sides had contact, but it broke down due to the huge gap in their demands.}
{…Then what the hell is real?}
{It is true that the Ming Dynasty fell.}
……

The period of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty
Liu Qi squatted by the field and nudged little Liu Che, who was waving a branch next to him, with his elbow.

Little Liu Che stumbled twice and used a branch to steady his body.

He rolled his eyes silently at first, then turned to look at Liu Qi and said with a smile:
"Father, what's the matter?"

Liu Qi said with a melancholy look:

"Did the Ming Dynasty perish just like that?"

Little Liu Che smiled and nodded:

"Yes, he is dead."

Liu Qi was still very melancholy:
"Although I know he will die, his death is too..."

Funny, right?

There really wasn't any decent resistance at all.

Everything just happened naturally.

Little Liu Che swung the stick in his hand again and complained:

"The ice three feet thick does not form overnight."

"With all the things Chongzhen did, who would work for him?"

He became a real loner.

……

On the canopy.

The evaluation of Emperor Chongzhen's achievements also gradually became apparent.

[Ming Sizong Zhu Youjian]

[Military achievements: He was defeated in many battles and became a king who lost his country.]

[Evaluation level E·Zero points]

【Institutional Construction: In the Ming Dynasty, there was a rule that "only Hanlin scholars can enter the cabinet." 】

[But as he gradually got the hang of governing the country, he discovered that these bureaucrats who had passed the imperial examinations were only good at writing eight-part essays and talking about philosophy, and it was difficult for them to make achievements in governing the country.]

[I then hated the system of selecting and employing people, which states that “only Jinshi can enter the Hanlin Academy, and only Hanlin can enter the cabinet.”]

[He added a recommendation method with joint liability to the examination method for official promotion.]

[This allows low-level bureaucrats who have difficulty passing the examination system to be promoted to high-level bureaucrats.]

[At the same time, the imperial examination system was reformed, emphasis was placed on military generals, emphasis was placed on the selection of talents who could be useful to the country, and talents were directly selected from local governors to enter the cabinet.]

【The military examination will be implemented in the same way as the civil examination, with the palace examination and announcement of the results.】

[Massively promote talents who have only passed the imperial examination but never won the title of Jinshi. ]

Under the flying eaves.

Li Zhi put his hands behind his back and looked at the sky, saying leisurely:

"Those scholars who entered school at a young age, indulged in the study of imperial examinations, and were fortunate enough to be appointed as officials in the Hanlin Academy and then recommended to join the cabinet."

"Although they have literary talent, most of them are unfamiliar with government affairs, out of touch with reality, and alienated from official affairs. They can still talk about philosophy, but it is difficult for them to adapt to the times and help the country in times of hardship."

"If Chongzhen could see this, he would have seen the bottom of the world."

"Pity."

Behind the window pane with diagonal patterns, a graceful figure with long hair like a waterfall whispered softly:
"But this approach will also allow some good and bad people to enter the officialdom."

"This approach both breaks the old system and fails to establish a new one."

"All that was presented was chaos and disorder."

Li Zhi nodded and couldn't help but sigh.

She is the only one who knows what is in my heart.

pity……

If the rest of the people in the palace hadn't been so stupid that it suffocated him, he wouldn't have sneaked over to see her.

If he didn't talk to people with similar insights, he was afraid that he would be assimilated by those people in the palace.

"What kind of person do you think Chongzhen is?"

The shadow behind him was silent for a moment, and then whispered again:
"Your Majesty does not think that Chongzhen is a dictator." Li Zhi sighed again.

"Mei Niang..."

"Chongzhen was a simple man. Like Emperor Hongwu, he was unwilling to be in the dust."

"If you don't understand that the world has its own set of rules, namely, yin and yang, you don't understand that governing a large country is like cooking a small fish."

"Employ people at will and dismiss them at will."

"The result is naturally that more and more people are at a loss and dare not take responsibility."

"You only have the desire to employ people, but you don't have the wisdom to identify people and the ability to employ them."

Behind the window, Wu Meiniang's eyes flashed with a gleam of light, and she continued to speak softly:
"The mind is full but the strength is not enough."

"Your Majesty, please take care of yourself."

Li Zhi smiled and replied:
"Of course, Mei Niang still cares about me."

There was a smile on his face, but his eyes were cold.

【After the Jisi Incident, the Ministry of Revenue was found to have many errors in its accounts, so it began to rectify its finances. 】

[Most of the financial reports in the Ming Dynasty were in the form of "annual reports". A few silver vaults retained the form of monthly or quarterly reports.]

[Chongzhen required the Ministry of Revenue to submit new and old military treasury accounts every five days, and the military treasury offices in border towns to submit monthly reports.]

【Establish a rebuttal system and assign specialists to verify the monthly report amounts, so that specific changes in each warehouse can be tracked at any time.】

【After the Qing Dynasty entered the Shanhai Pass, it followed the achievements of Chongzhen's financial reforms and formed a system of reporting and canceling. 】

Ming Dynasty Yongle Period
"Damn it!"

Zhu Di became even angrier!
"The system's performance rating is so high, which means there's nothing wrong with your brain!"

"Why is it so bad?!"

Zhu Gaochi tucked his hands into his sleeves and said calmly:
"Although people have different talents, as an emperor, lack of necessary education is a big problem."

"No one expected Zhu Youjian to suddenly become emperor."

"Naturally, he has not received the complete education and training of an heir to the throne."

"We can't expect every prince to be a genius like Jiajing when he succeeds to the throne."

"This young man suddenly took over such a complicated and difficult mess and was really overwhelmed."

"You don't have the ability or character to take on the role of a king, let alone in such a chaotic world."

"He himself does have big problems. He has a twisted and eccentric personality. He is always worried about gain and loss, wavering, extremely suspicious, and extremely mean and cruel to his subordinates."

"On the one hand, they shirked responsibility, frequently replaced and killed ministers, and on the other hand, they kept complaining that their subjects had failed to live up to the emperor's grace."

Zhu Gaochi kept shaking his head.

"I can only say that it is my own fault."

Zhu Di glanced at him and sneered:
"The prince is really generous."

"Even though the Ming Dynasty has fallen, he can still be so contented."

Zhu Gaochi looked at his mother helplessly and spread his hands:

"Mom, look, it's like this again."

Empress Xu was just asking what kind of woman Zhu Zhanji liked. Upon hearing this, she turned her head and said:

"Don't be all right, Boss Bear!"

"Although Chongzhen's actions were worse than his actions, his attitude was still serious. The Ming Dynasty's fall was not just due to him."

"Instead of worrying about the demise of the Ming Dynasty, you should try to prevent the disease before it happens!"

Zhu Di stared at Zhu Gaochi while being talked to.

Bastard...
