Ming Dynasty: Every day, Zhu Yuanzhang is in trouble

Zhu Yuanzhang seemed particularly confused at this time.

That is why Chongzhen was so diligent after he became emperor.

Why did he become the king of a fallen country?

In the beginning, he felt that there was not much difference between Chongzhen and other kings who lost their country.

He must be licentious and immoral, with all kinds of problems.

It has all the shortcomings of the kings who lost their countries.

However, after seeing some scenes after Chongzhen ascended the throne, he seemed confused again.

This Chongzhen seemed to be completely different from the king who lost his country in his imagination!

Chongzhen was truly diligent in his work.

Not lazy at all.

He worked hard every day and attended court very actively.

I spend the whole day worrying about the affairs of my family and country.

Dealing with memorials often lasted until late at night...

Just as he said when he was Prince Xin.

After he becomes emperor, he will definitely be diligent in handling government affairs.

Not like his brother.

Not only was he diligent in government affairs, but from the scenes shown in the simulator, we can also see that Chongzhen was also very simple.

In terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation, we do not pursue excessive luxury.

Even the clothes under the dragon robe had patches.

Zhu Yuanzhang also thought about it at the beginning.

Was Emperor Chongzhen's frugality just an act?

But in reality this is not the case.

Several scenes displayed in the simulator are of Chongzhen when he was alone.

His food, clothing, housing and transportation were indeed very simple.

There is no luxury at all.

Not only that, the same was true of the lives of Chongzhen and his queen.

As for the debauchery and extravagance of the king of the fallen country, it had nothing to do with him.

There are no three thousand beauties in the harem.

There is no life of feasting and drinking every day.

There is no enchanting Daji or other people around him to accompany him and seduce his heart.

After Chongzhen came to power, it cannot be said that he was not interested in women.

But it is only within the scope of a normal person.

In fact, compared to his status as an emperor, there are too few women around him.
It was precisely because of this that Zhu Yuanzhang became even more confused.

I really don't understand how this matter turned out like this.

Judging from Chongzhen's various actions, he doesn't look like a king who lost his country.

But in the end, the Ming Dynasty was destroyed by him.

This left Zhu Yuanzhang completely puzzled.

Could it be that... when Chongzhen took over the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty was already a hopeless mess, mired in a quagmire.

There is no way to reverse it?

Can't the situation be changed by Chongzhen's diligence and thrift?

Or is it because he is an honest emperor, but many of his ministers are desperately holding him back?

For a while, even people like Zhu Yuanzhang were somewhat confused by Chongzhen's actions.

And in a very short period of time, many possibilities have been thought of.

He felt that it was very likely that what he was thinking might actually be true.

Otherwise, it is hard to accept why such a bizarre thing happened.

While Zhu Yuanzhang was confused, a new picture soon emerged and began to dispel his doubts.

It cleared up some of his doubts.
"…Your Majesty, the eunuch Wei Zhongxian is so rampant that he is unprecedented in history!

Although he was a eunuch, he had great power in the court and was known as the Nine Thousand Year Old!
He and his cronies took the opportunity to cause chaos and disrupt the government.

Your Majesty is determined to clean up the world, so the first one to bear the brunt of the attack is this eunuch!
Once these eunuchs are eliminated, the Ming Dynasty will immediately be peaceful and prosperous.

All the people in the world are delighted and encouraged, and praise Your Majesty's grace.

The resentment in the hearts of the people can be eliminated..."

In the palace, a minister spoke to Zhu Youjian with a righteous look on his face.

It recounts the various atrocities committed by Wei Zhongxian and his cronies, as well as the various benefits that followed their elimination.

When I talked about the touching parts, I couldn't help but cry.

"When Emperor Taizu was alive, he erected an inscription that explicitly stipulated that the harem was not allowed to interfere in government affairs.

Today, Emperor Taizu's ban has been ignored.

It is precisely because many people do not follow the teachings of their ancestors that the current difficult situation has arisen.

Eunuchs must be eradicated!

To eradicate eunuchs is in line with the will of heaven and the wishes of the people.

It also complies with the laws of our ancestors..."

Another person also stood up and spoke to Chongzhen in an emotional manner.

Chongzhen's face also flushed and his eyes were a little red.

"Eunuchs are ruining the country! If we don't get rid of these bastards, we won't be able to stabilize the country! We won't be able to win the hearts of the people!

If it is not eliminated, the Ming Dynasty will be lost!

I will kill him!!!"

Looking at the scene in the picture, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but frowned.

I always feel that something is not right.

He really had no good feelings towards these eunuchs.

After all, there have been eunuchs doing evil in every dynasty.

He was extremely wary of this.

Otherwise, there would not have been an iron tablet erected to strictly prohibit the harem from interfering in government affairs.

To warn future generations.

Especially when I think of the life of that bastard Zhu Qizhen that I watched before, and the series of shitty things that bastard Wang Zhen did.

The more I think my proposal is, the more foresighted it is.

Wei Zhongxian, such a bad eunuch, could actually have so much power in the court and even call himself the Nine Thousand Year Old.

This incident indeed made Zhu Yuanzhang angry.

I think this kind of bastard really deserves to die and be killed!

But... I still feel like something is not quite right.

While Zhu Yuanzhang was thinking this, another scene emerged.

The newly appeared scene shows Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youjian talking to a eunuch.

I have great respect for this eunuch.

He also gave a lot of rewards to show his favor.

Zhu Yuanzhang already knew that this eunuch was Wei Zhongxian, who was known as the Nine Thousand Year Old.

Looking at Chongzhen's actions, Zhu Yuanzhang also nodded.

He could see it from some information in the simulator.

Wei Zhongxian was extremely powerful and was a super eunuch left behind by the previous emperor.

When faced with such a person, I want to get rid of him.

It is indeed necessary to use grace first to steady their hearts.

Let him let his guard down.

Then use other methods to take it down with lightning speed!

Now it seems that Zhu Youjian did a good job.

As the saying goes, there are three fires for new officials to take office.

It would not be a problem if the first fire after Chongzhen ascended the throne was burned on Wei Zhongxian...

As I thought about this, a new picture soon emerged.

Zhu Youjian is dealing with the eunuch party.

He ordered Wei Zhongxian to be arrested and brought to Beijing on the grounds that he had "a large number of desperate criminals who were carrying weapons and were surrounded by them, and seemed to be rebelling."

The scene flashed, and it was already a few days later.

However, Zhu Youjian received news that Wei Zhongxian was already on the way and that he and another eunuch's accomplice drank poisoned wine and died.

“This piece of shit is really cheap!
Such an easy death!
If not, he will be tortured!"

Zhu Youjian cursed out loud.

There was some excitement and contempt in his voice.

There was still a look of longing in his expression.

It seemed that with the death of Wei Zhongxian, the prosperous change had already arrived.

Many problems can be easily solved!

The scenes continued to emerge, showing how Zhu Youjian continued to deal with the matter after Wei Zhongxian's death.

The matter of eradicating Wei Zhongxian cannot end with the death of Wei Zhongxian...

In the new scene, Zhu Youjian recalled the eunuchs guarding various places
He also redressed the unjust persecution of the Donglin Party at the end of the Tianqi period and destroyed the "Three Dynasties Essentials".

Determine the "Imperial Rebellion Case".

Wei Zhongxian and 255 others were labeled as "rebels".

Wei Zhongxian and Keshi were tortured to death.

His followers were either executed, stripped of their titles, or sent into exile, thus restoring order…

"Your Majesty is truly a figure of heaven and earth, a figure of dragon and phoenix! This move is also very pleasing to the people!
Wei Zhongxian died and his followers were wiped out.

People all over the world are excited!
Those who appreciate your majesty's kindness are not ordinary people! "

Among the new reactions, many ministers continued to congratulate Emperor Zhu Youjian.

Chongzhen was praised to the sky.

Chongzhen couldn't suppress his joy!

It seemed that after Wei Zhongxian was gone, the Ming Dynasty would only rely on gentlemen like them to govern the country, and no other problems would arise.

Once Wei Zhongxian dies, many problems of the Ming Dynasty can be easily solved...

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at this scene, frowned, and felt something was deeply wrong.

I can see something wrong here.

He had felt before that something was not right about this matter.

At this time, I finally realized that something was wrong.

This guy Chongzhen trusted the words of those civil officials too much!
Moreover, the handling of Wei Zhongxian was too hasty.

It's not that Wei Zhongxian couldn't be killed. But Wei Zhongxian was so rampant that he had so much power in the court and dared to call himself the Nine Thousand Years Old.

Being killed is not unfair at all.

However, in Zhu Yuanzhang's view, what Chongzhen should not have done was to kill Wei Zhongxian and then deal with so many of his followers at the same time.

Make it clean.

No new person was fostered to replace Wei Zhongxian.

He threw the knife in his hand away.

From then on, one family became the dominant force in the court.

This will lead to one family dominating the court and many terrible scenes will occur.

He knew that these literati were good at sweet talk.

He talks a lot about benevolence, righteousness and morality, but in fact he is full of thieves and whores.

The knights-errant use force to disrupt prohibitions, and the Confucian scholars use literature to disrupt the law.

I'm not just saying this.

Now, it seems that many officials in Chongzhen’s court are celebrating.

Zhu Yuanzhang had a very bad premonition.

If Chongzhen does not have some countermeasures in the future.

Allow the civil service group to do whatever they want.

In the future, there will inevitably be endless losses.

The more he thought about it, the more sad he felt.

The more I think about it, the more I feel that Chongzhen is not a very capable guy.

There is no imperial power.

Indeed, his ancestor had said that the harem should not interfere in government affairs.

But, it depends on the situation!
He could no longer count on the Military Honor Group.

Ever since he watched Zhu Qizhen's life and saw how miserably the Military Honor Group died, he knew.

From then on, the military heroes were doomed.

It is difficult to compete with civil officials in the court.

Under such circumstances, the easiest choice for the emperor to make is to promote eunuchs.

To compete with those civil servants outside.

Only in this way can you seize power and accomplish many things.

In the court, one must always avoid having one person dominate.

As a result, now that Chongzhen has just come to power.

He simply gave up his martial arts and threw away the knife in his hand.

Moreover, after throwing it away, instead of making a new knife, he just stopped using the knife altogether.

In this case, who will check and balance those civil servants in the future?

Wouldn't those civil servants become even more lawless?
Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly understood why Chongzhen, who was so diligent, became a king who lost his country.

Perhaps, it has a lot to do with these actions.

Although he didn't know what that crappy Emperor Tianqi had done.

But we can still see something from just a few words.

Chongzhen was still lamenting that his brother, Emperor Tianqi, was doing things that were particularly unreliable.

I was so absorbed in carpentry that I ignored many things...

Why does it seem like...he, who is so hardworking, is not as good as his brother, the one who is obsessed with carpentry?
As Zhu Yuanzhang waited with a complicated heart, a new scene soon emerged...

The date is July 14th and the location is on the platform.

Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youjian summoned Yuan Chonghuan in front of all his ministers.

Let Yuan Chonghuan state his strategy for pacifying Liao.

Yuan Chonghuan was not polite at all. After paying his respects to Chongzhen, he spoke eloquently here, stating his many ideas about Liaodong.

After saying this, he raised his voice and said:

"I have been specially favored by Your Majesty, and I am willing to give you a favor. In five years, the whole of Liao can be recovered!"

"Okay! I'll give you five years!
When you succeed, I will come to you in person!"

Sitting on the dragon throne, Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youjian, after listening to Yuan Chonghuan's plan, also expressed his bold statement that he would pacify Liaodong in five years.

I couldn't help but feel happy.

He spoke these words out loud.

So, countless people congratulated him at once.

There were also many people who, judging from his attire, were also important officials, and they praised Yuan Chonghuan as a remarkable man.

There, we wish for victory in the Liaodong battle.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at this scene and couldn't help but shook his head.

I don't think it's that simple.

I'm afraid these people are going to be disappointed.

Yuan Chonghuan was too confident.

As for Liaodong, the so-called Jiannu people they call are probably not that easy to deal with.

Otherwise, it wouldn’t have been delayed until now.

After Chongzhen became emperor, his top priority was to deal with Wei Zhongxian.

Obviously, this matter is imminent.

And some of what Yuan Chonghuan talked about were strategies for pacifying Liao.

Zhu Yuanzhang also felt that many parts were not very practical.

With such an emperor and such ministers, can Liaodong really be judged in the next five years?

If the rebellion could be pacified, I am afraid that the Ming Dynasty would not have perished so early...

A new picture emerged, showing Emperor Zhu Youjian wearing a dragon robe, his face full of shock.

"What? Yuan Chonghuan actually killed Mao Wenlong?

What was he thinking?!
How dare you kill Mao Wenlong? ! "

There was a hint of roar in Chongzhen's voice.

But not long after, everything became quiet again.

"The dead cannot be resurrected. Mao Wenlong has been beheaded, so let's just behead him..."

After muttering this for a while, he asked someone to come and write the edict for him.

Yuan Chonghuan was rewarded...

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned after seeing this scene.

Although he didn't know much about who Mao Wenlong was, what his achievements were, and what important position he held.

But judging from Chongzhen’s reaction alone, Mao Wenlong should not be a simple person.

Yuan Chonghuan had only been in charge of the affairs in Liaodong for a short time, but he had already killed a great general.

This matter... isn't a good thing!

However, whether it is good or bad depends on the means behind it by Yuan Chonghuan.

If we can fight the next battle beautifully, everything will be fine.

If Mao Wenlong was killed, and all the battles were lost, he would be a fool...

A new picture soon emerged.

It was already October of the twentieth year of Chongzhen.

"What does Yuan Chonghuan do for a living?
What does he eat?!

What about the five-year plan to pacify Liao that you promised me?

What is he leveling?
How long has it been since those Jian Nu arrived at the gates of Beiping?!
Is this what he meant by pacifying Liaodong in five years?!"

In the main hall, Emperor Zhu Youjian was roaring.

The whole person looked extremely excited.

Obviously, he was extremely angry.

Zhu Yuanzhang was not surprised at all when he saw this scene.

From what he had seen before, he felt that Yuan Chonghuan might mess things up.

What he said about pacifying Liaoning in five years cannot be realized.

Now it seems that it is indeed the case!
Amid Chongzhen's roar, he quickly issued some orders...

A new picture emerges.

In this scene, Yuan Chonghuan and others appeared in front of Chongzhen again.

But Yuan Chonghuan is undoubtedly the protagonist this time.

After meeting Chongzhen, Yuan Chonghuan first confessed his guilt to Chongzhen.

Then he kept telling Chongzhen how serious the situation was.

At this time, Chongzhen did not blame Yuan Chonghuan too much.

Instead, he was still there speaking out to comfort her.

In order to show his trust in Yuan Chonghuan, he was given some rewards...

Yuan Chonghua then requested to lead his troops into the city, but Zhu Youjian refused...

A new picture emerged, Wen Tihen wrote a letter to impeach Yuan Chonghuan for collaborating with the enemy.

Chongzhen looked extremely ugly.

Although he didn't say much, it was obvious that he was extremely angry...

Zhu Yuanzhang began to feel uneasy.

He frowned.

It’s not that Chongzhen will really be captured by Yuan Chonghuan next time, right?

Also, why does Chongzhen seem so impatient in doing things?

The key point is that it seems that people are biased towards those ministers.

Have no ideas of my own.

This is not how an emperor should act!
As I thought about this, a new picture soon emerged.

Chongzhen and Yuan Chonghuan are still present in the newly emerging picture.

However, unlike before, Chongzhen was angry at this time.

He rebuked Yuan Chonghuan: "You have killed the commander without authorization, and it has continued to this day.

Now that we are unable to defend ourselves from danger and aggression, what is the point of talking about restoration as usual?"

After the angrily rebuke, without waiting for Yuan Chonghuan to explain, he directly ordered the Jinyiwei to arrest Yuan Chonghuan and put him in prison!

Zhu Yuanzhang was a little stunned by what he saw.

No... Zhu Youjian really did it?

What on earth is he doing?
