When Emperor Chongzhen heard about this, instead of being angry, he was faintly happy. Guang Shiheng's knife mouth, slapping himself every day, and he still has to put on an appearance of being heard, which is disgusting to think about.

After Chongzhen became the emperor, he has been imitating Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, not only imitating calligraphy, but also imitating when the emperor, broad-minded, humbly admonishing, diligent and loving the people, and thrifty.

Chongzhen has basically done these things on the surface, otherwise he would not be sprayed by Guang Shiheng and a group of imperial historians in the court every day, and he would put on a happy appearance of being taught, and occasionally praise them with a clear conscience.

In fact? Tang Taizong has such a good temper, sometimes he will get angry and want to kill Wei Zheng, the hillbilly who likes to admonish, his Zhu Youzhen's Taoism is not as deep as Li Shimin's, and he secretly doesn't know how many times he has hoped that this group of people will die.

Chongzhen knows that as a holy monarch, he must be tolerant and generous, and he can endure the unbearable things in the world, and he must pretend to endure if he can't bear it. If he punishes this group of "trolls", he will have a bad reputation for not being able to admonish.

No, the prince killed Guang Shiheng, Chongzhen was not only not angry, but he was a little excited in his heart. At the same time, he secretly said in his heart, it is a pity that the prince didn't kill the old thing of Zuodu Yushi Tang Shiji last time.

What did Emperor Chongzhen think? He wants to do something that is not good for himself, he will never come forward to do it himself, and he will always find someone to take the blame.

Historically, in the last few years of the Ming Dynasty, almost all the generals of the Neng Dynasty were killed, Chongzhen wanted to negotiate peace with Jiannu, and free up his hands to exterminate Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong. So he secretly asked Chen Xinjia to preside over the peace negotiation, but the secret was leaked, and finally Chongzhen asked Chen Xinjia to take the blame and beheaded him.

And in the last year of the Ming Dynasty, Li Zicheng was about to enter Beijing, and the ministers suggested moving the capital to Nanjing, and Chongzhen also wanted to leave, but he didn't want to be infamous as a fleeing emperor.

So he arranged for Li Mingrui to speak, and if he didn't open his mouth for a long time, he let the minister discuss there, but Guang Shiheng jumped out and interrupted his plan and stopped the southward move, Chongzhen could only break his teeth and swallow it in his stomach.

However, he finally dared to hang himself, and it was still very good that he did not learn from the other last emperors who surrendered on their knees. This may also be why people freeze the time of the fall of the Ming Dynasty when Chongzhen hanged himself, rather than when Zhu Youlang, the emperor of the Southern Ming Dynasty who knelt down to Wu Sangui and begged for mercy, was strangled to death by the bowstring.

As a latecomer, Zhu Cihong still knows Chongzhen well, but he is still not at ease, so he goes on the Tao. With Guang Shiheng despising the royal family, he committed the crime of great rebellion, and destroyed his house, and told the reason and process.

In particular, Guang Heng said that he would kneel and beg for mercy, and Guang Shiheng asked him to cut off his right hand, which was written in great detail, and there was a lot of corroboration.

The words of the father and son of the Guang family deeply stung Emperor Chongzhen, and he patted the dragon case and said angrily: "Dare to threaten the crown prince in public, he Guang Shiheng is really bold, and it is not a pity to die!" ”

Chongzhen was furious, and ordered all the ministers of the crying palace outside the noon gate to be arrested with a court staff, and each court staff was twenty.

After Zhu Cihong heard this, he immediately took Wu Zhong and others to the city tower of the noon gate, sat on a chair and sipped tea, stretched out his head to look down from the battlement, and said with a smile: "This palace is the first time to see the scenery on such a high city tower, it is really magnificent!" ”

Wu Zhong stepped forward to take the tea, and said with a smile: "Master, this is the Heavenly Palace of the Heavenly Family, naturally magnificent, and there will be more magnificent things on this earth!" ”

Zhu Cihong laughed when he heard this, and waited unhurriedly for the collective court staff to be carried out outside the noon gate, which was a unique scenery in the Ming Dynasty and the most famous in all dynasties.

The court staff of the Ming Dynasty is not so easy to beat, the general process is: after the emperor issued an order to spank, the eunuch will first seal the post and stamp the letter by the eunuch, and then hand it over to the criminal department for review and approval, and finally hand it over to Jinyiwei, which will be executed by Jinyiwei.

Originally, it would take more than half a day to talk about this set of procedures, but this time it was very neat, less than half an hour, all the procedures were completed, and the ministers of the crying palace outside the noon gate were stripped of their pants and pressed on the bench and spanked.

Emperor Chongzhen is still wondering, when did the operation of the imperial court become so efficient? In the entire court, only he, the emperor, did not know about Xiao Jiujiu.

Zhu Cihong can see that most of these ministers of the Wailing Palace are the imperial historians arranged by Wen Tiren, and they firmly grasp the right to speak in public opinion in the Ming Dynasty and occupy the moral high ground.

Scolding people on weekdays is their job, the higher the level of the scolding person, the more sense of achievement, their main firepower is generally concentrated on the highest-ranking emperor, if the emperor is annoyed and angry, then their goal will be achieved.

There are so many people recorded in every dynasty and every generation in the history books, and even some of the seven secretaries even only mention one stroke, and they can't get into the history books because they can't get their heads out, since that's the case, what should I do? Something!

History books are mainly written around the emperor, then we will scold the emperor, it is better to be ordered to be scepter, it is easy to leave a name in history, and it can also win a good reputation of "sacrificing oneself to condemn", which will be recorded in history.

Driven by this kind of thinking, the Ming Dynasty's speech and official groups often charged at the front line of party struggle in the name of "admonishment" to seek political capital.

In the past, the imperial historians spoke with orders and pointed out the emperor's shortcomings. Now most of these have changed their taste, and they have become the "Shock Ministry" to make some shocking remarks in order to win the attention of the emperor and hundreds of officials.

After these officials outside the noon gate were beaten with twenty boards, they patted their butts and went home with smiles, and their hearts were full of the feeling of "although they have insulted the palace, and the court gentry regard them, they are like ascending immortals".

endured a momentary insult, but turned his head like a fairy! The goal has been achieved, who cares about what Guang Shiheng is, and how the prince drops.

Zhu Cihong looked at the chatty and laughing officials below, and smiled coldly: "These people have really lowered the lower limit of the officials, and in their eyes, the court staff has actually become a reward, which is really cheap!" ”

From this time, Zhu Cihong knew that the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty could no longer be saved, and if he wanted to clarify the rule of officials, he had to reshuffle the cards on a large scale.

He even had some understanding why Emperor Chongzhen had replaced so many ministers during his reign for more than ten years. Most of the cabinet ministers during the Chongzhen period were people who were "upright and not afraid, considered the appropriateness, and offered small benefits at the time.

Occasionally, there are some small contributions, but in the face of the crisis at the end of the Ming Dynasty, if you want them to "help the crisis and settle down", it is obvious that these people can't do it. For Chongzhen, what he needs is not to "offer small benefits from time to time", but to be able to "help the crisis and settle the tilt"! This may be the real reason why Emperor Chongzhen kept changing cabinet members.
