【0948 Lord Wei returns to Beijing】
When the Inner Khalkha tribes arrived at the periphery of Xifengkou, Liaoxi sent some food and necessary daily necessities, and the border army provided them with some help in setting up camps.
The Nekhalkha tribes were temporarily resettled on the edge of the Great Wall.
With the Great Wall and the Ming army as the backing, Nurhachi did not dare to chase after him.
Nurhachi dared to lead people over the Great Wall and looted the surrounding areas of Datong and Beizhili.
But running to the vicinity of the capital to make trouble, Jiannu did not have the courage.
Moreover, now it is equivalent to the combination of Inner Khalkha and the Ming border army, in this case, Jiannu will not dare to chase after him for a long time.
The cheerful and outgoing Ulan Tuya Qiqige entered the customs to find Wei Bao, she went to Shanhaiguan, but Wei Bao had already been ordered by the emperor to go to Beijing.
As soon as the Emperor of the Apocalypse, Zhu Youxiao, received the news that Wei Bao's army of Jiannu in Liaodong could not occupy any of the cities, he asked Wei Zhongxian to recruit Wei Bao into Beijing.
Later, he learned that there were Mongolian tribes who broke away from the Jurchens and returned to the arms of the Ming Dynasty, so he was even more happy, and repeatedly urged Wei Bao to return to the capital as soon as possible.
Wei Bao is a person who doesn't like to run around, even if he knows that the emperor will definitely reward himself again this time, he still doesn't want to go.
Helplessly, the emperor sent a bunch of eunuchs to invite him every day, but Wei Bao saw that he couldn't hide, so he could only come.
Thinking that he was about to meet Emperor Zhu Youxiao of the Apocalypse, and when he was about to see the capital, Wei Bao was happy again.
When I returned to the capital, my mood was very different, because there was nothing to be afraid of.
Relations with all parties are good, and there are no major threats.
For women, Wei Bao doesn't have much to expect.
In the capital, the women he likes are all in the deep palace.
Empress Zhang, the Emperor of the Apocalypse, no matter how beautiful she is, she likes it, it has nothing to do with him.
Xi Li Niangniang, Xi Li Niangniang's daughter Zhu Huiyuan, has nothing to do with him, whether they can meet depends on chance.
The man has a lot of friends, he can meet his brother-in-law Li Chengne, and he can meet the emperor.
Wei Bao has no feelings for the emperor, but he is not completely without feelings, and the Emperor of the Apocalypse, Zhu Youxiao, is classified as a friend by Wei Bao.
Wei Bao has always believed that Zhu Youxiao is a person who has been seriously slandered by history books.
In fact, whether Zhu Youxiao is mediocre or not, just look at his reply to Yuan Chonghuan's Pingliao strategy.
Yuan Chonghuan didn't start to play the bragging king tricks until he got to Chongzhen, and in the hands of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, he also tried to brag and try to rise up.
Yuan Chonghuan once made a twist, saying that if he repaired the city, he could trap the wild boar skin.
This is exactly the same as fooling Chongzhen later.
Tianqi asked him a lot of technical problems that could not be solved at all, such as how to prevent Houjin from sending reinforcements to grab food, and how to protect the cultivated land and civilians outside the castle when the enemy attacked, Yuan Chonghuan was speechless at that time.
Because he can't solve it.
Then the apocalypse said, "Victory is not lightly spoken." ”
It means that it is not so easy to win, and warned Yuan Chonghuan: "You should do it for mercy, and you should do it well." ”
What do you mean? That means you have to do things in a down-to-earth manner, and don't talk about these useless things.
Hehe.
It can only be said that from this point, Zhu Youxiao, the Emperor of the Apocalypse, as half an engineering student, is far above Chongzhen, who is not proficient in martial arts.
Chongzhen is no matter how hard he works, limited by talent, it is really difficult to be a qualified monarch.
There are a lot of things that really need to be talked about with a little talent.
As a ruler, Apocalypse is not stupid, and his level is still very high. But the character is too weak.
By the late Ming Dynasty, the civilian clique had become the country's politically correct and uncontrollable monster.
Jiajing dared to slap the civil officials' butts with a board, and then support a Yan Song to rule them.
Wanli and the civil officials were afraid of tearing up, so they simply didn't go to the court and didn't do anything to drag you bastards to death.
Tianqi was very embarrassed, he didn't dare not go to court, and he didn't have Jiajing's ability, so he could only use eunuchs to do things for himself and check and balance civil officials.
Later generations scolded him for nothing more than because he connived at the eunuch party, and he also made a nine-thousand-year-old Wei father-in-law.
But if he didn't acquiesce to Gonggong Wei to do things for himself with the title of nine thousand years old, Da Ming might be finished in his term.
The Emperor of the Apocalypse knew that the Ming Dynasty was hopeless, and he could delay it for a day, at least he was not confused and very pragmatic.
Chongzhen is much more naïve, he was played by civil officials, and he realized that he was going to die: "All officials in the world can be killed!" ”
Unfortunately, it was too late.
The Black Apocalypse Emperor Zhu Youxiao's people, Wei Bao felt that there were mainly two groups of people, the Manchu magnates and the Ming literati group.
The Manchu magnates wanted the Emperor of the Apocalypse, which is understandable to everyone, and to maintain their orthodox status, they must devalue the previous generations to worthless.
The question is, why don't you black Chongzhen, but black the apocalypse.
The reason is very simple, when Li Zicheng broke through the city of Beijing, the Manchu hypocrites held high the banner of revenge for Emperor Chongzhen, all the way south, attacking Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong, etc., if it was Hei Chongzhen at this time, wouldn't it be a slap in the face? .
Why did the literati group want to make the apocalypse.
In the Ming Dynasty, there was a very powerful supervisory body called the Imperial Inspectorate, and the imperial historians of the Imperial Procuratorate usually wrote a notebook to impeach others, and sometimes even the emperor scolded them, and then in addition to the imperial history and the matter, the two complemented each other.
is such a set of official system, to a large extent controlled the trend of public opinion at that time, which imperial history or give the matter if he was killed for admonishment, he could still have a good reputation in the literati group and be famous for centuries, so some of them scolded every time they happened, hyping up their high style.
This part of the people was very marketable in the late Ming Dynasty, forming a situation of scolding as long as they were unhappy.
Zhang Juzheng "seized love", Wanli wanted to set up a third son Chang Xun, but they all intensified, and some even became slanderous, saying that Zhang Juzheng was greedy, but he didn't copy much when he copied his house, and he copied a few people to death.
There are two theories about Wei Zhongxian's background, one says that he tried and failed repeatedly, and finally changed his way of life to enter the palace as a eunuch, and the other said that he was a scoundrel in the market and sold his wife and daughter, which is obviously more miserable.
Wei Zhongxian's specific background, Wei Bao was also very interested, and he once asked someone from the Statistics Department of the Heaven and Earth Society to help verify it, but unfortunately there was no way to investigate, but Wei Zhongxian's background was poor.
According to the analysis of Lin Wenbiao, the bigwig of the Statistics Agency, losing money in gambling and hiding debts into the palace are the most likely.
However, from Wei Bao's personal point of view, Wei Bao prefers the former. After all, Wei Zhongxian is a eunuch who can enter the celebrant eunuch, and it is a bit far-fetched to say that there is no culture at all.
What's more, in the years when Wei Zhongxian was in power, although the politics were dark, the society was generally stable, and it can be seen that the nine-thousand-year-old governance also has two brushes.
As for why it was hacked, it was nothing more than the sequelae left by the suppression of the Donglin Party.
What kind of people are the Donglin Party, all of them are righteous people who flaunt benevolence, righteousness and morality, and it can be said that they are the vane of public opinion at that time, and whoever offends them is destined to stand on the opposite side of public opinion and is destined to be stinking for 10,000 years.
And these literati groups especially look down on eunuchs, so they especially like black eunuchs, not to mention Wei Zhongxian, even Cao Huachun, who was good friends with the Donglin Party at the beginning, was also hacked, saying that he opened the city to release thieves, the problem is that Lao Cao has been in Tianjin for six years, what city to open, what thieves to release, the Ming Dynasty is dead, people do not forget to repair the mausoleum for the master, what kind of person is so black.
The remnants of the Donglin Party are going to be black.
In that era of underdeveloped communications, such rumors were really deadly.
Why did the Emperor of the Apocalypse get hacked, we have to see how he was hacked first.
The Black Apocalypse Emperor Zhu Youxiao is nothing more than summed up in two labels, carpenter and fool.
Is that really the case? Not necessarily.
Wei Bao has always had a doubt, if Xizong Zhu Youxiao is a ridiculous emperor who has never read anything and can only do carpentry as the Qing people said, then why does his younger brother Zhu Youzhen have the potential to be the master of Zhongxing.
If the difference between the two people is so big, why did Yang Lian, the left deputy capital, desperately support Zhu Youxiao to take the position.
At that time, both Zhu Changluo and Yang Lian felt that Zhu Youxiao had the potential to become a Mingjun.
And there is also an important suspicion that can prove that Zhu Youxiao is a master of royalty.
That is, before the death of the apocalypse, he summoned the king of Xin to the palace to discuss matters, and the elder brother said to the younger brother: "Be loyal and loyal, but you can add up to great things." Appointed by the Loyal and Virtuous. ”
Some people say that this may be Wei Zhongxian's forced palace. But I don't think it's very likely, if Wei Zhongxian really had such a great ability, he would not be liquidated by the little emperor Zhu Youzhen, who was only sixteen or seventeen years old, in just one year.
Therefore, Wei Bao has always believed that the nine-thousand-year-old Wei Zhongxian has always been the front desk spokesperson of the Apocalypse, specializing in dirty work.
Before he died, Tianqi was equivalent to entrusting his most important chess piece to Chongzhen, but Chongzhen was blinded by the so-called words of loyalty, coupled with blind self-confidence, and did not listen to his brother.
Later, Emperor Chongzhen secretly buried Wei Zhongxian, and it can be seen that Chongzhen regretted not listening to his brother's deathbed.
As for why the apocalypse wants to reuse Wei Zhongxian.
The history of the Ming Dynasty is the result of Wei Zhongxian and the Hakka teaming up to engage in ghosts.
But judging from Wei Zhongxian's attempt to bring down Empress Yi'an, Xizong has his own independent judgment.
It is also said that he is an agent of a number of "opposition parties" such as Zhejiang, Qi, and Chu.
Wei Bao felt that it was illogical, first, that these parties themselves had been severely suppressed by the Donglin Party.
Second, Gu Xiancheng, the leader of the Donglin Party, controlled the officials and firmly controlled the appointment and dismissal of personnel.
The opposition party should not have so much energy, and the launch of Wei Zhongxian wiped out Yang Lian, Zuo Guangdou, Zhao Nanxing, Gu Xiancheng and other Donglin party members.
So it must be the emperor who gives Wei Zhongxian a platform.
Why did the emperor let Wei Zhongxian ascend the throne?
Wei Zhongxian grew up serving himself since he was a child, he was trustworthy and easy to control, and the core essence of maintaining imperial power was the same as his own, plus the eunuch was born, it was impossible to make a big one and replace him.
When Tianqi ascended the throne, he was already sixteen years old, and he basically had the conditions for pro-government, but at that time, the Donglin Party was a dominant family, and the power leaned towards the government and the opposition, which seriously threatened the emperor himself.
Except for the leading few, many of them are hypocrites who are indiscriminate.
Qian Qianyi, the laughing stock of the ages, didn't dare to commit suicide because the water was too cold, so he turned around and invested in Houjin.
The Donglin Party flaunts benevolence, righteousness and morality, and is naturally the moral model and public opinion vane of this group of officials.
Therefore, if you want to move the Donglin Party, Tianqi must not be able to do it yourself.
I searched and found that Wei Zhongxian was the most suitable.
The literati despise eunuchs the most, they are nothing more than barefoot and not afraid to wear shoes, dirty work is tiring Wei Zhongxian, as long as he pretends not to see it.
It is worth mentioning that Zhu You's school name is 悊, and he knows people and says 悊.
At this time, everyone probably knows why the literati are dying in the black apocalypse.
These literati groups are not stupid, they know that your apocalypse does not kill loyal ministers, but you let dogs bite people.
First of all, I will sue you for "inaction".
Do you think you can turn a blind eye and pass the blame away? Pretend to be crazy and stupid, right?
These people made the Emperor of the Apocalypse Zhu Youxiao stupid, so that you would leave your name in history and become a foolish emperor.
This is what seems to me to be the beginning and end of the black apocalypse of the literati group.
But saying that Zhu Youxiao turned the tide and saved the Ming Dynasty, Wei Bao also disagreed, this is the general trend of history, and it has little to do with the emperor.
If the apocalypse suddenly died and sat up in shock, he felt that although his body was a little worse, it would not be a problem to live for another twenty or thirty years, so it didn't take long for him to devote himself to the study of engineering technology.
Previously, Tianqi was critically ill, and Empress Zhang had summoned King Xin into the palace to prepare to inherit the unification, and the situation was very embarrassing at this time.
Wei Zhongxian took the opportunity to talk about the queen, the king and the place of death. But King Xin's succession has been agreed by the Apocalypse, and the Apocalypse has no children, the couple is affectionate, and the brotherhood is good, so they don't care about it, and they are impatient to be said, and they are super doubled backhanded, and King Xin is the general to lead the government, with the idea of despairing Wei.
Empress Zhang and King Xin then conspired to punish the eunuch party, hating the apocalypse and not wanting to forge ahead, and refusing to move; The ministers are all ministers of the country, and they are unbearable. It is an edict to recruit the border army into Beijing to strengthen the momentum. Mao Wenlong and Yuan Chonghuan were called, Donglin also had a lot of activities, Mao and Yuan were suspicious of each other, and Chonghuan finally punished Wenlong and his subordinates. The eunuchs were frightened, rumors spread, and they took risks, hijacked the emperor and queen, and summoned the king into the palace.
Before leaving, Yuan Chonghuan strongly persuaded him. King Xin was angry and blamed Wenlong for the matter, and he was so late that he was late. When King Xin entered the palace, he was victimized by the eunuchs. When the armies heard that Wang Xue believed him, they rushed to attack the palace gate, broke it, and punished the eunuchs and eunuchs. Those who have no need are harmed even if they are not eunuchs. Some people even pointed out that the enemy was a eunuch to destroy its door, and Donglin made a wide range of enemies, and there were many dead. The tragic situation in Jinghua has not been seen in the Ming Dynasty for 200 years. After the eunuch party was destroyed, the generals were worried that they were too involved, and they did not dare to return to the Son of Heaven, but promoted Sun Chengzong as the first assistant, Man Gui as the general, Zu Da Sushikong, and Wu Xiang Zhijinwu were in charge of the armies and guards, changed the health of the Yuan, and coerced the Son of Heaven to save his life. After two years of health, Houjin took advantage of the chaos and plundered Gyeonggi. In December, Sun and Manli died in battle, and Houjin also returned from trauma. With Zhou Yanru as the first assistant. The emperor and the four clans of the Hou Jiazu clan are in Liao, ranking the third duke, and they are rewarded in a high position to calm their hearts. With King Xin's widow Tzu Hong as the crown prince. Three years, Wen Tiren entered the cabinet. Zhou and Wen each formed an army leader, fighting openly and secretly. The provinces are also gradually developing a desire to protect themselves. After four years, Jin broke the Daling River, and Zu Dashou Jinzhou refused. In five years, Mao Wenlong's old department Kong Youde mutinied, Zu Dabi and his son Sangui begged for it, and Kong Bei escaped.
