Why is it that as soon as the traitor is in power, the good Ming will be confused?

In fact, it's very simple, what is the purpose of the traitorous eunuchs seizing power, governing the country, don't joke, what's the point of them not even governing their descendants well? After my death, no matter how much he flooded, they seized power purely for the sake of immediate fame and fortune!

For example, Wang Zhen, after taking power, the dynasty called him "Weng Father", and this name was there.

As for the profits, when the Ming Dynasty decreed that his family property was confiscated, only gold and silver filled more than 60 warehouses, more than 100 jade plates were found, and there were more than 20 coral trees of six or seven feet high, and there were countless other treasures, which showed that it was profitable.

Another example is Liu Jin, after taking power, the dynasty called him "Emperor Li", and this name is also available.

As for the profits, when Ming Wuzong issued an order to confiscate his family property, he found more than 2.5 million taels of gold, more than 50 million taels of silver, and countless other treasures.

Another example is Wei Zhongxian, after taking power, the dynasty called it "nine thousand years old", the world only knows that there are nine thousand years old, but I don't know that there is an emperor, this name has been ancient and shining, and no one can have his fame anymore, because nine thousand years old is long live the lord.

As for Li, because Chongzhen leaked the news when he ordered the arrest of Wei Zhongxian, Wei Zhongxian committed suicide on the way to Fengyang, and the whereabouts of the property he embezzled became a mystery.

Historical records are only some of the wealth he exposed before he committed suicide.

For example, when he was demoted to Fengyang to guard the mausoleum, he carried more than 200 carts of property, and after hanging himself, he was divided by his entourage.

For another example, he embezzled domestic currency to build a mausoleum for himself, and embezzled a total of more than 3 million taels before and after.

For another example, he has a large family of relatives, with nephews, nephews, nephews, and in-laws, a total of 17 people who have been awarded official positions and titles such as governors, earls, marquises, and dukes, and the value of each person's reward is tens of thousands of taels and millions of taels.

For another example, he forcibly seized more than a dozen mansions in the capital, each of which was worthless.

There are no records of these more than ten mansion historical materials, only one has a corresponding record, because the origin of this mansion is very large, and he directly robbed the emperor's relatives!

This mansion is the mansion that Ming Shizong rewarded to Zhu Luyuan, the eldest princess of Ning'an, after Wei Zhongxian fell in love with this mansion, he wanted to buy it at a low price at first, after all, people are relatives of the emperor and the country, and it is not good to rob it directly.

However, Li Chengen, the son of the eldest princess of Ning'an, "didn't know each other" and refused to sell his home to Wei Zhongxian at a low price.

Not for sale? This is a toast and don't eat and drink, so grab it directly!

Wei Zhongxian directly asked his mother to search for the utensils left by his mother, the eldest princess of Ning'an, and then falsely accused him of stealing forbidden items such as Chengyu clothing, and sentenced him to death!

When the person died, the mansion naturally went into the hands of Wei Zhongxian.

However, a princess is also the most favored princess of the Jiajing and Longqing dynasties, and what she left to her son was framed by him as a stolen forbidden object, which is indeed a bit excessive.

Moreover, the eldest princess of Ning'an is still the sister of Emperor Longqing, that is, the aunt of Emperor Wanli, and Li Chengen should also be regarded as the grandfather of Emperor Tianqi according to his generation.

Of course, the eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty were not all big villains, but there were also virtuous eunuchs like Zheng He and Feng Bao.

Zheng He won't talk about it, the story of Zheng He's trip to the West is almost popular, and there is no need to repeat it too much, and the era he lives in is too long away from Zhang Bin at this time, and it is difficult for him to have any direct relationship with Zhang Bin.

Feng Bao is different, he and Zhang Bin really have a little relationship, because Wang An was cultivated by Feng Bao, and Cao Huachun was cultivated by Wang An, and they can be said to be in the same line.

This Feng Bao, how to say it, in the political arena, he is an outstanding politician, a reformer, and a first-class hero of Wanli Zhongxing, which can indeed be called a virtuous.

As a powerful eunuch, he was quite knowledgeable, and took the initiative to join hands with Zhang Juzheng to fully support the new policy, so that Zhang Juzheng's decree could be unimpeded, and he went all out to implement reforms.

Thus creating a new situation of the Wanli New Deal, and also creating the richest decade of the Ming Dynasty.

However, as a great eunuch, he couldn't escape a greedy word.

He was greedy for money and good goods, and received bribes, Zhang Juzheng often bribed Feng Bao and gave him a lot of treasures, and he later spent a huge amount of money to build a big tomb for himself, Zhang Juzheng also wrote an article specifically for this to praise Feng Bao.

However, he is still not confused in the face of major events, such as the white lotus produced by the cabinet, and the double white swallows in the Hanlin Academy, Zhang Juzheng brought it to the emperor to enjoy, Feng Bao sent someone to Zhang Juzheng and said: "The emperor is young, and he should not use these strange things to make the emperor greedy for fun." ”

In terms of educating the emperor, Feng Bao was still very effective, daring to strictly discipline the emperor, and always urging the new emperor to learn and progress.

Feng Bao also often restrained his relatives and children, so that they did not dare to act mischiefly, and even the common people in the capital thought that Feng Bao was a good person.

However, it is precisely because Feng Bao and Zhang Juzheng have been too strict with Wanli since they were children, and Wanli does not care about the emperor's face when he does something wrong, and when Wanli grows up, he has no gratitude to Zhang Juzheng and Feng Bao, but is resentful.

And because the ministers were suppressed during the reign of Zhang Juzheng and Feng Bao, they also had great resentment towards them, so as soon as Zhang Juzheng died, those ministers who were suppressed by him attacked in groups, so that Zhang Juzheng was raided, and Feng Bao was also confiscated by Wanli and sent to Nanjing Xiaoling to grow vegetables.

Feng Bao can only be said to be politically virtuous, but corruption is also relatively serious, while Wang An and Feng Bao are different.

Guangzong ascended the throne, promoted Wang An to be the eunuch of the Si Li Bingpen, and treated him very well, Wang An did not pamper and be arrogant, nor did he strictly practice corruption, but persuaded Guangzong to do all kinds of good governance, issued gold coins to help the border, and used direct ministers Zou Yuanbiao, Wang Dewan, etc., and praised his virtuous ability inside and outside the court.

It's a pity that Guangzong died soon after he succeeded to the throne, and then, Wang An was also killed by Wei Zhongxian and the Hakka clan, which directly led to Cao Huachun being implicated and being demoted to Jinling.

As for Cao Huachun, it can be said that he completely inherited Wang An's integrity, after Chongzhen succeeded to the throne, although he was reused, he was not pampered and arrogant, whether it was dealing with the unjust cases caused by Wei Zhongxian when he was in power, or during the period of admiring Dongchang, he acted impartially and did not have any bad deeds.

It's a pity that Chongzhen doesn't have the ability of Ming Chengzu Zhu Di, and Cao Huachun also lacks a capable minister like Zhang Juzheng as a partner, so in the end, he can only regretfully put down his power and return to his hometown.

He also has an advantage, that is, Thanksgiving, after Chongzhen hanged himself, he ignored the danger, went to the capital, and asked Emperor Shunzhi to properly deal with the mausoleum of Emperor Chongzhen, just at that time the Manchu Qing wanted to buy people's hearts by treating Chongzhen well, and enveloped the Ming gentry to serve him, and Emperor Shunzhi actually agreed to his request, and asked him to supervise the construction of the tomb.

It can be said that if there is no Cao Huachun, it is still a question whether Emperor Chongzhen can lie in Siling and enjoy the treatment behind the emperor.

The reason why Zhang Bin is so desperate to tie up Cao Huachun is precisely because he likes his integrity and gratitude.

At this time, if he is good to him, there will definitely be a reward, with his character, when he returns to the capital to take power, he will definitely miss his kindness and take more care of himself.

There is such a person who says good things to himself in front of Chongzhen, Zhang Bin believes that Emperor Chongzhen will definitely "look the other way" at himself, because the "eye" outside the palace is Cao Huachun!
