Huang Liji looked at it more openly, "I don't think it's anything." ”

The eunuchs are indeed very open-minded.

Since integrating into this era, Wei Bao can see and think of many things that he couldn't see or think of before.

After Yang Lian's "Twenty-Four Sins", the holy decree drafted by Wei Guangwei was enshrined: Since I became the heir, I have been conscientious day and night, abiding by the constitution of my ancestors, but I am afraid of falling, and I have not dared to do anything to declare the old scriptures. The yamen played into a flurry, and the discipline and law were not implemented, but this book will be ordered to all political affairs in the past.

As for the matter of the concubines and concubines in the middle palace, the palace is tight, and there is no point in the situation, so how can the outer court know it thoroughly.

The internal words are poisonous and the palace is jealous of the concubine and the prince, etc., based on speculation, is it to chase the left and right, so that I am isolated from the top, is it loyalty?

Yang Lian was talked about returning to his hometown, overpromoted to the current official, and he should be rewarded for his kindness, why is he looking for a straight upright, he wants to investigate the money one by one, and he is troubled when he reads the time, and it is not appropriate to disturb the court, so he doesn't ask.

In the future, all officials, large and small, must abide by the profession and must not go along with the voice, and if there is any disobedience and disobedience, the national law and constitution will be preserved, and will not be tolerated, the ministry knows.

In fact, this kind of holy decree of leading the pot to himself and deducting the basin to himself is not the first time that Xizong has done this.

For example, in October of the first year of the Apocalypse, when Liu Zongzhou impeached Wei Zhongxian, the Apocalypse said: Since I ascended to the pole, I have abided by the laws of my ancestors, lectured and worked diligently, and there were no banquets and tours.

Liu Zongzhou said vainly, good life is hateful, he should be treated heavily, and he should be punished lightly for half a year.

On February 28, the third year of the Apocalypse, Zhou Zongjian impeached Wei Zhongxian, and Xizong replied: The officials attacked each other, and argued for victory, so why should they be dragged for no reason. Zhang Yunru Pavilion unveiled the rescue, and talked about the feast, what is the misinterpretation? Inspecting the official ceremony, the ministry and many officials preside, how can they be private? The place where it was lowered was allowed, and the officials and ministers were promoted, and I was personally judged, who was expelled? What is the basis for the things mentioned in this book, such as the settlement and framing? How do you see and hear? Zhou Zongjian came back from the truth, and the ministry knew.

On February 29, the third year of the Apocalypse, after Zhou Zongjian replied by order, Xizong criticized Zhou Zongjian for replying with his order, and he should be clear and sure. Naishang's implication and speculation, entrusted to the rumors, so that he was unbridled and straightforward, and was given a light fine of three months, and the ministry knew. Except for the difference in the degree and content of Liu Zongzhou and Zhou Zongjian's impeachment with Yang Lian, the severity and content of the holy decree are different, and they are generally not bad.

It can also be seen from this that just twenty-four sins could not lead to the reversal of the political situation in the second half of the fourth year of the Apocalypse, and the essential reason for this was the infighting in Donglin and the dependence of Wei Guangwei, Cui Chengxiu and others.

And even so, Grandpa Wei's attitude towards Donglin is not endless.

At that time, Wei Zhongxian was the main author, and Zhao Mingyang was passed down from generation to generation, but he didn't know that there was Mao Angxiao.

When Yang Zuozhi was arrested, Guo was rescued by Guo Zuo, and his loyalty and virtuous intentions were also released, and Fu Yingxing and Mao Angxiao were depressed, and there were words of self-digestion, so the gentlemen were inevitable, and Guo also absconded for fear of disaster.

It can be seen from this that the one who really wants the life of Donglin Zhugong is not necessarily Wei Zhongxian himself, but actively planning for it, who was squeezed out by Donglin in the early years of the Apocalypse, or turned against Donglin and was not accepted by Donglin, and used Yang Lian's "Twenty-four Sins" to offend Wei Zhongxian, and Wei Zhongxian's friendship with Donglin was rejected, so he could only rely on the strength of other people from the outer court to expel Donglin.

And this group of people came up with the idea that they must kill Donglin, so that they can be in power, and collusion between inside and outside will lead to Donglin's party disaster. At the beginning of the so-called, Zhongxian hated the people of Donglin, and discussed their crimes, but there was no foresight in the three cases and Jingcha and Fengjiang. The group of small people wants to use loyalty and virtuous power as a place of revenge to drive out dissidents, so they use this number of things to catch it, and the disaster of the clear stream is a martyr.

The reuse of Xizong by Wei Gonggong is very much in line with the so-called bizarre theory that if it were not for Chongzhen's accession to the throne, the Ming Dynasty would not have died in another person, and behind the invention of this bizarre theory is the disdain of the Ming fans for the Qing Dynasty and the regret for the collapse of the last unified dynasty of the Han people, but they occupy public opinion through various bizarre theories, inventing history, and various conspiracy theories and human nature analysis, which is obviously a public anger.

What if one day Ming Fan discovers that Chongzhen, the method of the Apocalypse, has been used, or even surpassed?

Chongzhen just doesn't understand political balance, that is, to abolish the factory guard, that is, not to collect commercial taxes, that is, not to use eunuchs, that is, for 17 years, the people are in the dynasty.

Xuanfu annual silver 299,156.7 taels, 8,000 taels in the sixth year of the Apocalypse, 120,000 taels in seven years, 470,313.4 taels in arrears of 450,630 taels per year in the same year, 11,488 taels in the sixth year of the Apocalypse, 137,400 taels in the seventh year, 206,300 taels of silver in the year of Shanxi in 752372 arrears, 29,000 taels in the sixth year of the Apocalypse, 74,000 taels in the seventh year, 309,600 taels in arrears of Yansui 433739 taels per year, 62,470 taels in the sixth year of the Apocalypse, 173144 taels in seven years, and 133795 taels of silver in arrears in the year of 631864 and Ningxia, 32,072 taels in the sixth year of the Apocalypse, 99,629 taels in the seventh year, 135889 two Gansu years in arrears 197588 taels per year, 42,291 taels in the sixth year of the Apocalypse, 86,036 taels in the seventh year of the Apocalypse, 188191 taels in 266849 arrears in the two Guyuan and Xiamaguan years, 105195 taels in the sixth year of the Apocalypse, 70,089 taels in the seventh year, 201098 taels in arrears Jizhou annual silver 426871 taels per year, 244976 taels in the sixth year of the Apocalypse, and 157247 taels in the seventh year, 451519 arrears of two Miyun years are 365391 taels per year, 169258 taels are issued in the sixth year of the Apocalypse, 151,000 taels are issued in the seventh year, 410524 taels are in arrears of 289866 taels per year, 91,693 taels are issued in the sixth year of the Apocalypse, 105,000 taels are issued in seven years, 140232 taels are issued in arrears in the year of 383039 and Changping, 115681 taels are issued in the sixth year of the Apocalypse, 53,000 taels are issued in seven years, and the arrears of 111783 and two Yizhou years are 146595 taels per year. 65,996 taels in the sixth year of the Apocalypse, 46,269 taels in the seventh year, and 180925 taels in arrears.

In July of the seventh year of the Apocalypse, the governor of Shanxi Mu Zhikui said: It is difficult to support the lack of salary on the border, and it is difficult to send Beijing to protect the dangerous Xinjiang.

Purpose: Reading the performance, the number of shortages in the three passes of the capital has been many years, that is, the six and seven years of the Apocalypse have been in arrears for many months, and the West Road is particularly helpless. In the spring and summer of six and seven years, the original title of Beijing transportation was not enough to be taken quickly, so as to say that the factory ministers were trying their best to prepare for the army.

In August of the seventh year of the Apocalypse, Hu Tingyan, the governor of Shaanxi, said that the salary shortage in Lingong was five or six years, and the number was more than 200,000. Jinglu Bianbao was missing two years and three years, and Guzhen Jingyun owed more than 159,000 taels of silver from the 47th year of Wanli to the 6th year of the Apocalypse. At the beginning, the armies still sold arrows, and now they have wives. At first, he begged along the street, but now he has left the army and sneaked out. At first, it was an occasional whisper in the sand, and now it is openly shouting. The beggar will owe silver before two quick hair, in order to lay the danger of Xinjiang, and report the news.

In October of the seventh year of the Apocalypse, Zhang Sanjie, the governor of Gansu, said: Pingzhen is 2,000 miles long, and it is everywhere. In the words of Jingyun, the annual arrears are more than 700,000 yuan, the sixth year of the Apocalypse is still more than 150,000 taels of silver, and Xi'an and other places owe more than 800,000 taels of silver since the first year of the Apocalypse. The western soldiers were good for horse warfare, and the treasury was overwhelmed, and begged to lend 100,000 gold to help. The decree is to bring the number of arrears of transportation to the household department to allocate tightly, and the arrears of the democracy movement are carried out according to the investigation and urging, and the restrictions are completed, and the price of horses and silver is confirmed together. In the seventh month of the seventh year of the Apocalypse, the town guarded the Xuanda eunuch Ge Jiusi: Xuanzhen was short of food for several months, and he begged to urge the second movement to take off the towel.

Purpose: Xuanzhen garrison to be fed for several months, to Lai Changchen pointed out that the longitudinal festival was sent to Beijing to save the day. It is strange that the second movement of Beijing and the people has accumulated 2,929,000 debts, so how will the hungry army help? The ministry will be in Beijing regardless of what items, the first to make up, in order to help the eyebrows. The people owed the town, consulted the province as soon as possible, and established the examination according to the strictness, and set a large plan according to the amount of arrears, and the dethroned affairs guard urged the amount owed to the ministry before the dismissal, and all of them were as quickly as they agreed to repeat the trilateral governor Shi Yong'an, together with the governor Yan Suiyue and the governor Li Yinggong, and said together: The arrears of the arrears were due to the arrears of salaries, and from the first year of the Apocalypse to the seventh year of the Apocalypse, a total of more than 1.5 million yuan was owed, resulting in the arrears of military salaries from all walks of life to 27 months. Thousands of miles of barren sand, tens of thousands of hungry soldiers are hungry, their clothes are not covered, Ying Tingteng complains, and he can't go. There are those who strip and are easy to be full, there are those who hold utensils and trade half-sufficiency, there are those who have no horses and herds and close their homes, there are those who are hungry and unbearable and cut their hair in the market, the grievances of the belly have been brewed for a long time, and the scarf is taken off to survive, and it is difficult to lack wages in this town.

For the lack of ministers, or for five or six months, or for thirty months, is it not two and a half years? Q: Where is 30 months? Minister's right: It's Yansui.

Donglin has two major origins, one is the lecture of the local academy, and the other is the anti-Shoufu officials in the imperial court struggle in the middle of Wanli, especially the officials of the ministry.

If we want to talk about class representation, it is no different from the representation of many other bureaucratic factions, the landlord class and the merchants, and they cannot carry the word "big".

It is also necessary to consider its territoriality.

In fact, there were more political factions formed by officials in various places during the Wanli period.

It is often said that Donglin "represents the south of the Yangtze River", but the base camp of the Donglin Party is in Changzhou, and there is the Kunshan Party that unites the people of Suzhou on one side, the Zhejiang Party on the other, and the Xuancheng Party in southern Anhui.

It can be said that it is surrounded by enemies on all sides.

Talking about the relocation of "Zaolin Miscellaneous": At the end of Wanli, the courtiers divided the party and competed for the portal. There are Donglin Party, Wuxi Gu Xiancheng, Gao Panlong, Jintan Yu Yuli, etc., abandoned to give lectures, set up Donglin Academy, and Changzhen people attached to it. If there is a party in Kunshan, Gu Tianjun and Li Shengfang in Xiangtan, and the Su people are attached to it. There is a party of Siming, then Shen is consistent, and Zhejiang people are attached to it. If there is a party of Xuancheng, Tang Binyin, and Ningguo and Taiping people are attached to it. If there is a party on the right side of the river, Zou Yuanbiao; Regarding the party in China, Feng Congwu and people from the same province attached to it. Feng tasted the superintendent of Shanxi, and the mountains and Shaanxi. Feng and Zou are kind to each other, and they are also in the right mountain of the river. The so-called Jiangnan in economic history refers to the five prefectures of Yingtian, Zhenjiang, Changzhou, Suzhou, and Songjiang in the Ming Dynasty, Taicang Prefecture and Jiaxing, Hangzhou, Huzhou and other three prefectures in Zhejiang, all of which are eight prefectures and one state. Obviously, Donglin can't even "represent" the economic Jiangnan in the narrow sense, let alone represent the landlord class of the whole country. Let's look at a specific example. Miao Chang's "Self-Introduction": Zhu Wucheng gave up the song for a long time, and lost his liver to our party. Zhu Guozhen, a native of Xihu Prefecture, Zhejiang, came to participate in Donglin, and was said by Miao Changqi, a native of Jiangyin County, Changzhou Prefecture, to betray his hometown for a long time, which shows that the geographical scope of the real Donglin is very narrow. Of course, at the beginning of Donglin, there was a side of learning friends, so it can transcend the regional to a certain extent. So apart from the Changzhou area, what is the origin of those officials who are often called "Donglin" from other places? Wen Bing's "First Dial the Beginning": The bureau of the door is in the east of the house, the omen is in the east of the house, the faction is in the four mings, and the opening is in the Huaifu, and the country is the destiny. It is the one who is the eastern forest, and the one who is the winged country is also. It is the one who is the four masters, and the one who controls the Donglin is also. In addition, Qin, Jin, Qi, Chu, and Xijiang are strong, but they should respond to the demand, or they will not be able to produce these two. Left and right, Yuan Huang fights each other, Gu Yu Sheng, who knows the male and female of Wu? The Qin, Jin, and Jiangxi people are the traditional allies of Donglin, but they are only allies from outside. The Qi people often united with the Zhejiang people and called the three parties together with the Chu people, but the Chu people also used to cooperate with Donglin. Huang Zun has a saying that says very clearly: the Jin people compete for the governor, and Mr. Dazai said: "Qin, Jin, and Yuzhang, the people in the same boat, use the test to change the hearts of the people of Yuzhang, and the hearts of the people in the Guanzhong change when they participate in the ceremony, and then make the hearts of the Jin people change, which is a situation that is scattered and dispersed." (Huang Zongxi's "Ming Confucianism Case, Donglin Case") and Qin, Jin, Jiangxi "in the same boat" who is who? It is the political power of "Donglin" in the narrow sense, the real me. This True Donglin is just one of many factions. By the way, since the Qin people and Donglin often stand on the same line, the absurdity of "the northwest adds more taxes to the southeast" is even more obvious, otherwise they wouldn't have broken their heads themselves? Generally speaking, there are two types of descriptions of faction members in party contention, one is their own expression, and the other is the division of political opponents. Many people have not gone to Donglin Academy to give lectures, and Donglin people have not said that they are Donglin, but in the eyes of political opponents, they are a group. As for the Donglin list concocted by the eunuch party, it was even more in the way of fabricating charges to hang up those who opposed him, and finally expanded it to the point that even Gu Bingqian was on the list, which could not reflect the real factional division.

The Donglin Party is the spokesperson of the Jiangnan chaebol, and the eunuch party is the emperor's minions? I'm sorry, but in the Ming Dynasty, there have been countless people in the Jiangnan Scholars. To give two examples, the two people with the highest official positions in the eunuch party, Gu Bingqian, a university scholar, and Zhou Yingqiu, a scholar of the Ministry of Rites, one is from Kunshan and the other is from Zhenjiang Mansion, both of whom are Jiangnan people with red roots. It can even be said that in the last years of the Ming Dynasty, whether it was the Donglin Party or the anti-Donglin Party, most of the main cadres were Jiangnan people. So the question is, why should the Jiangnan landlords in the eunuch party oppose the Jiangnan chaebol, and the Jiangnan landlords in the Donglin Party are the spokesmen of the Jiangnan chaebol? What is the spokesperson of the Jiangnan chaebol at every turn, do you really think that the Donglin Party is Jiang Guangtou? Secondly, let's take a look at who the Donglin Party is? In the narrow sense, the Donglin Party refers to the people in the opposition and the current dynasty related to the Donglin Academy, which is more recognized by the orthodox Donglin people; In a broad sense, the Donglin Party can refer to those who presided over the Jingcha Xiaye of the Qi, Chu, and Zhejiang parties, and some historians in later generations agree with this statement; In a broader sense, it can be said that it is a person who opposes the eunuch party, and the majority of netizens agree with this statement. In the end, there is a creature called Schrödinger Donglin Party (this term comes from @Linxi master, I agree very much), as long as the scholars in the last years of the Ming Dynasty who had an adverse impact on the fall of the Ming Dynasty were all Donglin Party, for example, I have seen me say that Shi Kefa was driven to Yangzhou by the Donglin Party (please check which Donglin boss Shi Kefa teacher is), and some people infer to me that Wan Sitong's teacher's father is the Donglin Party, so he is also the Donglin Party. This kind of historical deduction can be said to be very erratic. To get back to the point, even if it is only in a narrow and broad sense, the Donglin Party is also numerous, and it is unrealistic to say that so many political creatures are all good men and women; If you want to say that all of them are loyal martyrs, it is unrealistic. However, in terms of the number of martyrs of the Donglin Party after the death of the Ming Dynasty, it did not disgrace the title of scholar. Li Zicheng fought to Beijing, and it was the Beijing camp that surrendered without daring to attack; With Chongzhen's trust, it was the eunuch Cao Huachun who was responsible for defending the city but opened the door and surrendered straightforwardly; It was Wu Sangui who voted for Li Zicheng first, and then voted for Houjin. At the time of the revolution, there are many things that are difficult to say, only focusing on Qian Qianyi, and using some illusory jokes about too cold water and itchy scalp to entertain, which is meaningless. Finally, let's talk about why historical science popularizers like Mingyue and Ming history masters like Gu Cheng had a lot of non-words for the Donglin Party, and they were not so bitter about the criticism of the Eunuch Party. The love is deep, and the responsibility is keen. The reason why historians criticize some of the behaviors of the Donglin Party a lot is because they believe that if the party does not fight for the party every day, a group of people from the Donglin Party, the Qi Party, and the Chu Party may have helped the Ming Dynasty to regain its strength. But these scholars didn't do a good job, so they hated iron and steel, so they scolded Donglin and a group of others for delaying the overall situation because of party disputes. Then why not scold the eunuchs? Because I don't bother to scold. You said that why Gu Cheng almost pointed his nose at Shi Kefa in "History of the Southern Ming Dynasty", and his words were not so fierce for those who really surrendered and betrayed the country (such as Sizhen and Zuo Liangyubu). It's not that Gu Cheng wants to pretend to be reactionary, but he thinks that Shi Kefa can save Nanming, but he didn't do it, so Gu Cheng was angry and lamented his incompetence. It is true that the Donglin Party is not all good men and women, but because of this, it is not the original meaning of Mingyue and Gu Cheng and others to praise the eunuch party. Therefore, let me emphasize again: they criticize Donglin because they think that Donglin is controversial or not, and they don't scold the eunuchs because they think that the eunuchs are rubbish.

The Ming version of Freemasonry, how can it be a "good man and a woman"? In Mingyue's original words: the Donglin Party is not a group of nerds who can only read, gentlemen who only talk about benevolence, righteousness and morality, it is a "political organization with strength, ability, influence, and a sense of struggle". The so-called powerful, capable, and influential refers to the fact that the Donglin Party "has both social public opinion and important ministers of the imperial court", and there is no lack of struggle means of "the party is the same and the party fights against differences"; The so-called sense of struggle refers to the ultimate goal of the Donglin Party to "control power". Gu Xiancheng is the behind-the-scenes influencer of the imperial court, and Wanli is the supreme ruler, and the two are incompatible. This academy (Donglin Academy) can despise the first assistants of the current dynasty, saying that they are puppets and babies, and this academy can prevent the ministers from resurrecting and changing the emperor's appointment. The fate of countless people and the current situation under the great tomorrow will be finally determined by this place, which seems to have nothing to do with the imperial court. Behind Gu Xiancheng is an unfathomable night.
