Because which eunuch who made contributions but was framed for manslaughter led to the demise of the Ming Dynasty?

When it comes to eunuchs, we always think of a white face, an uncompromising, sinister and despicable image. After all, the term eunuch is not a compliment. In the history of China, there are countless examples of eunuchs' disorderly administration and disasters to the country and people.

Among them, Wei Zhongxian, the great eunuch of the Ming Dynasty, was a master. According to historical records and folklore, this eunuch, who was in power in the wild in the Ming Dynasty, not only hurt loyalty and killed innocent people, but also brought disaster to the country and people and committed numerous crimes.

Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty killed Wei Zhongxian immediately after he ascended the throne. Historical books denounced him for heinous crimes, and folk stories arranged him as a heinous sinner.

But under the double denial of the government and the people, there is actually another Wei Zhongxian. In fact, this "nine-year-old" is not necessarily a sinner who perished in the Ming Dynasty. On the contrary, he is probably a hero, and even if he is not a hero, his guilt is definitely not as big as the history books say!

Wei Zhongxian was a famous eunuch in Wanli period of Ming Dynasty. He is scheming and ruthless. During the reign of Emperor Apocalypse, Wei Zhongxian monopolized the power, so that all officials at that time called him "9900 years old", almost "long live the grandfather".

When Wei Zhongxian was in power, Confucian scholars in North Korea, especially Lindong party member, were excluded. They hated Wei Zhongxian's guts and vowed not to * * *.

With the death of Emperor Apocalypse, Wei Zhongxian lost power and influence. After Emperor Chongzhen ascended the throne, he gradually recovered Wei Zhongxian's power and finally forced him to die.

After Wei Zhongxian's death, North Korean officials, especially Lindong, congratulated each other and cheered.

However, after the downfall of Wei Zhongxian, which was called "a big rape and a big evil" by Lin Dong and party member, the Ming Dynasty not only did not move towards light, but moved towards endless darkness.

Emperor Chongzhen was at a loss in the constant internal and external troubles, and no matter how many people he killed, he could not contain the collapse of the Ming Dynasty.

The Ming Dynasty finally fell apart and the country perished.

Then we can't help asking, since Chongzhen killed Wei Zhongxian cleanly, why did the Ming Dynasty get worse day by day and eventually went to extinction? On the contrary, when the great traitor Wei Zhongxian was alive, could the Ming Dynasty live comfortably and safely?

There's pressure in here.

In fact, as early as before the apocalypse emperor died, he told Chongzhen that Wei Zhongxian, a man loyal to the country, had something important to discuss with him.

What the apocalypse emperor said before he died was not stupid. On the contrary, they are the opinions of an emperor. Why do you say that?

Because of the special system of the Ming Dynasty, the bureaucratic cabinet has great power and the bureaucratic system is deeply rooted. For example, the Lindong Party is entrenched in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, forming a family relationship of mentoring and in-laws.

Faced with such a group, if there is no powerful imperial assistant, the bureaucratic group will be out of control. The Apocalypse Emperor reused Wei Zhongxian and put him in charge of the secret service agencies such as the West Factory of the Ming Dynasty, with the aim of balancing Lindong.

However, Chongzhen did not understand this meaning. He was taken in by the Lindong Party, killed Wei Zhongxian and abolished the secret service organizations such as the East Factory and the West Factory. As a result, the Lindong Party has become so big that no one can control it any more. They control the taxes in the southeast and the officials in the world, and Chongzhen can't control it at all.

In this way, under the guise of the emptiness of the Lindong Party bureaucratic group in the Ming Dynasty, the treasury of the Ming Dynasty began to be empty, grass-roots organizations began to disintegrate, civil unrest broke out in various places, and military expenditure was in deficit. In the end, the Ming dynasty was completely closed as soon as it was over 300 years old.

Before he died, Chongzhen secretly sent someone to rebuild Wei Zhongxian's tomb. He sighed with emotion: It's not that I am incompetent, but the minister really misunderstood me.

He added: If Wei Zhongxian were alive, things would not have come to this.

Subsequently, Chongzhen committed suicide in the crooked neck tree in Jingshan Park.
