Emperor Chongzhen really wanted to do something.

When he was not yet in office, he hid in his palace all day long, and some people said that he was trembling, which was too much, but he was indeed frightened.

Because Wei Zhongxian was like a huge shadow hanging over the city of Beijing, Zhu Youzhen, the king of letters at that time, felt a sense of precariousness, and he was afraid that his brother Emperor Tianqi would listen to Wei Zhongxian's slander and drive him out of Beijing.

Zhu Youzhen was convinced that Wei Zhongxian would plot to usurp the throne at that time, firstly because he was young, and secondly because Wei Zhongxian had achieved the age of 9,000, which was a prelude to the ancient traitorous courtiers seeking to usurp the throne.

Moreover, the entire government and the opposition are full of Wei Zhongxian's eunuchs.

This terrifying childhood memory made Zhu Youzhen develop a cautious and suspicious character.

Although when his brother was dying, he called him to his bed and warned him that Wei Zhongxian was available.

However, as soon as Emperor Chongzhen came to power, he was still resolute and resolute, and he cleaned up Wei Zhongxian in a short time, and then he found that Wei Zhongxian's power did not seem to be as big as he imagined, and the eunuch power that originally shrouded the government and the opposition disappeared in an instant.

Chongzhen, who had just taken office at that time, didn't quite understand why, he was originally prepared for a bloody battle, and this result was indeed a bit unexpected to him.

The current Chongzhen has been an emperor for fifteen years, and he has long figured out that problem.

It turns out that the so-called eunuch party is actually the imperial party, and the power of the eunuch party actually comes from the emperor, without the support of the emperor, how can a eunuch want to seek a dynasty and usurp the throne, many people in this world may seek to usurp the throne, such as ministers. For example, thieves, but I have never heard of the eunuch plotting to usurp the throne.

This kind of disabled person, who is not accepted by society as a whole, will not give birth to eunuchs who inherit the offspring. They will not have the sincere support of others, and they themselves will not have any intention of plotting to usurp the throne.

Chongzhen figured it out. Wei Zhongxian's monstrous power actually came from the favor of his brother Emperor Tianqi, and he became nine thousand years old because his brother was too favored, not because Wei Zhongxian was too capable to control the emperor.

And those ministers who had been secretly telling themselves that Wei Zhongxian had a rebellious heart became the object of Emperor Chongzhen's biggest headache at this time.

In Emperor Chongzhen's view, civil officials are too corrupt, and this is not a key issue. The key problem is that it is too incompetent.

But Chongzhen sometimes feels that it is not that the civil officials are incompetent, but that the civil officials have no intention of doing things and have no intention of doing things for him.

Therefore, Emperor Chongzhen was often angry, coupled with his suspicious temperament, he always felt that he was targeting himself, so he often killed people.

He reigned for fifteen years, and killed more Shoufu, Shangshu and civil officials at all levels than the entire Ming Dynasty, except for the two emperors Zhu Yuanzhang who founded the country and Zhu Di, who usurped the throne.

However, such severe punishment could not deter the civilian clique. They still go their own way, they are still corrupt, and they still refuse to do anything. As a result, the Manchu forces outside the Guanxi Dynasty came to the city of Beijing again and again, and the result was that the Liukou group of Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong became bigger and bigger, and they had already formed a confrontation with the Ming Dynasty.

Chongzhen, who did not believe in civil officials, began to approach the ministers, and began to approach the emperor's relatives and relatives, in his opinion, the ministers and the Ming Dynasty shared weal and woe, and the country rested together, as long as the Ming Dynasty was still honored, these people would be rich and glorious. can be trusted, and the emperor's relatives have to protect him. Even Emperor Chongzhen began to reuse eunuchs again.

Chongzhen felt that it was not that he didn't trust Wenchen, but that Wenchen was too incompetent. It was so disappointing for him.

Therefore, the eunuchs around him are becoming more and more powerful, and if a chief assistant like Zhou Yanru wants to take office, he often has to bribe the eunuchs.

Therefore, the lords who had been suppressed by the civilian officials for hundreds of years raised their eyebrows again and held important positions in key positions, and most of the armies in the north and south capitals were in the hands of the lords.

Therefore, the royal relatives began to fly high, the queen's family, the imperial concubine's family, all soared, and all evil was rampant in the township.

But Chongzhen still trusts these people, not because he doesn't know what these people do, but because he feels that these people, whether good or evil, will not betray him, which gives him a sense of security.

But he didn't expect Tian Wan to be so difficult to do, didn't Tian Wan just rob a few women, and it was a dusty woman, but the scholars in Jiangnan made a big fuss and began to make cameos, making Jiangnan a miasma.

But Chongzhen can't kill these people yet, he is stubborn, he is suspicious, but he also loves face and refuses to bear the notoriety, so he has been putting pressure on the Jiangnan civil official group, demanding that the civil official group deal with it properly, and at the same time demanding that the civil official group not kill a scholar.

As a result, the development of events was unexpected, under his high pressure, the scholar and the civil official actually merged, and the civil officials began to defect and impeach Tian Wan one after another, but the scholar refused to give up, and the uproar went straight to Beijing.

The scholars not only made a fuss in front of the Confucian Temple, but also made a fuss in front of the Taimiao, crying to Confucius in front of the Confucian Temple, Confucius couldn't help the emperor, and even the ancestors and ancestors enshrined in the Taimiao couldn't help the emperor, but it made the emperor's face very ugly.

Emperor Chongzhen loves face, and he can't tolerate any stain on his body, let alone this kind of thing that makes people all over the world blame.

So he had no choice but to punish Tian Wan, but he still tried his best to defend it, but he only removed Tian Wan from his official position and fined him for one year, but did not punish him.

But this has already made him very painful, because at this time, his beloved concubine is seriously ill, but he went to punish her father.

What's more, everything was forced by Chongzhen to do it, not something he took the initiative to do.

Chongzhen felt that he had been coerced, by Jiangnan scholars, by Jiangnan officialdom, and by the civilian bureaucracy, which once again touched the fragile sense of crisis in his heart.

So Chongzhen wanted to kill, depending on the situation, the Jiangnan civil official group couldn't move for the time being, because they were twisted into a rope.

The Jiangnan Scholars Group is even more unable to move, and the law does not blame the public, but Emperor Chongzhen remembers the name of the fourth prince, and they will never use it.

What can make Emperor Chongzhen vent his anger, in the end, there is only the unfavorable Jinyiwei, Nanjing Jinyiwei has bad luck, the high-level is either exiled, or detained, and the lightest is dismissed.

But at this time, there was a different piece of music that appeared in front of Chongzhen's eyes, which made his eyes shine, this piece of music was not to impeach Tian Wan like others, but to impeach civil officials, if this piece is made clear in the world, it is obvious that this person has offended the entire civil official group.

After Chongzhen read it, he did not send a newspaper, but burned the letter and wrote down the person who wrote it. (To be continued).
