Looking at the raindrops outside and listening to the sound of water droplets falling on the roof, Ye Xiang slowly fell into deep thought.

Looking back on history, countless eunuch dictatorships throughout the Ming Dynasty, Wang Zhi, Liu Jin, and Wei Zhongxian, no matter how arrogant they were, persecuted opponents. But for their master, the emperor, he was very loyal.

When he was in college, this history was the most embarrassing history for Ye Xiang, most of those who were greedy for money and defected to the enemy were so-called civil and military officials. When Li Zicheng entered the city of Běijing, countless ministers surrendered, but it was these eunuchs who fought to the end. When Li Zicheng attacked the Forbidden City, countless Dongchang eunuchs raised the knives in their hands, although they knew that they were invincible, these eunuchs would rather die under the other party's knife. It's even just to delay some time for Emperor Chongzhen, it is because of their delay that Emperor Chongzhen has time to kill his wife and children.

When Emperor Chongzhen fled to Coal Mountain, there was only one person by his side, and it was Wang Chengen, the chief eunuch at that time. After Emperor Chongzhen died, the eunuch who watched Chongzhen grow up committed suicide and went with his master.

Recalling every event in the history of the Ming Dynasty, one can't help but think of these emperors of the Ming Dynasty. Zhu Yuanzhang, Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, was born recklessly, but he chased the Yuan Dynasty in the north and set the world, but he killed the heroes. In his later years, he became even more mediocre, which led to the misery of the people of the world, and the Ming Dynasty almost died.

The second emperor of the Ming Dynasty was Jianwen Emperor Zhu Yunwen, who was pushed down by his uncle before he had time to show his talents.

The third emperor was Zhu Di, the Emperor of Yongle, who was recognized as the wise lord of the Ming Dynasty.

Sighing softly, Ye Xiang's mood was a little heavy, since the death of Emperor Yongle, the next emperors of the Ming Dynasty are not as good as the next generation.

The fourth emperor of the Ming Dynasty was Renzong Zhu Gaochi, who had been the crown prince for twenty years, trembling and walking on thin ice, but this emperor only reigned for one year and died. In such a short period of time, don't say anything about merit and demerit, you may not know what you should do as an emperor! The people are gone.

The fifth emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Xuanzong Zhu Zhanji, a very industrious emperor, ascended the throne at the age of twenty-nine, reigned for twenty years, and died at the age of forty-nine. During the period, he was very industrious, but he exhausted himself to death, although the Ming Dynasty had a short period of prosperity, but his son was very angry.

The sixth emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Yingzong Zhu Qizhen, reigned in the world at the age of seven and ascended to the throne, but he did not become a good emperor like Emperor Kangxi. Instead, the reuse of the eunuch Wang Zhen was also captured first. As a result, the Ming Dynasty soon changed emperors, and this Yingzong became an outcast. Although he later regained the throne, he was also disgraced.

Zhu Qiyu, the seventh emperor of the Ming Dynasty, was pushed to the front of the stage after Yingzong was captured, but after Yingzong came, he was killed, and his eyes were definitely full of tears!

The eighth emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Xianzong Zhu Jianshen, was first his crown prince just to be robbed, although he was robbed back, but he had a serious stutter, and the last dynasty could only say yes or no, and he was a depressed emperor. He founded a notorious organization in the history of the Ming Dynasty, that is, the West Factory.

The ninth emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Xiaozong Zhu Youji, a good emperor and a representative of monogamy. But he died at the age of thirty-six, and reigned only eighteen years.

The tenth emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Wuzong Zhu Houzhao, this is another wonderful emperor, set up a leopard room, and the whole is **, but he does not have a son, in modern terms, is it infertility at all!

The eleventh emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Shizong Zhu Houxi, did not go to court for more than 30 years, only knew how to refine medicine and become immortals, and finally ate himself to death.

The twelfth emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Mu Zong Zhu Zaiyuan, his elder brother and younger brother died one after another, and the throne fell to him in a daze. One of his greatest characteristics is his incompetence. The most important emperor died after six years of reign, at the age of Chinese New Year's Eve.

The thirteenth emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Shenzong, is also the most famous Liangbo Emperor in history. In the early stage, because of Zhang Juzheng's reforms, the emperor was also full of treasury. Later, he took revenge on Zhang Juzheng, and began to count backwards after his death.

The fourteen emperors at the end of the Ming Dynasty, this Emperor Taichang, was even more miserable, and died on the woman's belly in just one month.

The fifteenth emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Zhu Youxiao, this emperor is also a wonderful, he can't govern the world, but he did a good carpentry job, and died in just seven years.

The last emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen, his brother and brother, although he was inspired to prosper the Ming Dynasty, but his father left him a scarred river. Although he had great ambitions, he couldn't apply for it, and finally hanged himself.

Slowly thinking back to the sixteen emperors of the Ming Dynasty, Ye Xiang couldn't help but sigh in his heart, what kind of dynasty is this? After experiencing this unreliable emperor, he has not yet lost the country, and I have to say that the Ming Dynasty is also a strange thing in history.

At this point, Ye Xiang summarized the emperors of the Ming Dynasty, the first point: incompetence. Among the sixteen generations of emperors, except for Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di, the rest are incompetent emperors. The second point: short life. The emperor of the Ming Dynasty reigned for the longest forty-eight years, and the shortest was only one month, and those who could live past forty years old were considered to be long-lived. The third point: good sè mediocrity. Just talking about the incompetence of these emperors can not highlight the problem, the appointment of eunuchs, and the absurdity are basically the characteristics of every Ming Dynasty emperor. In the last sentence, these emperors of the Ming Dynasty were a group of bitter people.

Such a dynasty, such an emperor, but still existed for three hundred years, I have to say, a strange existence. Although the Ming Dynasty was such a dynasty, it was Ye Xiang's favorite dynasty. In the three hundred years of the Ming Dynasty, there was no harmony, no land cession, no peace, no compensation, no payment, the Son of Heaven guarded the country, and the king died. Backbone, dignified, unyielding, never compromising. Even if the emperor is captured, he will never retreat, this is the backbone of the Han people and the backbone of China. This is the reason why Ye Xiang likes the Ming Dynasty the most, even if it is as strong as the Han and Tang Dynasties, there is also a policy of peace and harmony, but the Ming Dynasty does not.

Gently breathing a sigh of relief, suppressing the chaotic thoughts in his mind, Ye Xiang couldn't help but sigh. At this time, although the Daming country has not yet passed through the scourge of Wei Zhongxian, it is already full of holes.

Collecting his mind from the water droplets dripping from the eaves, Ye Xiang instructed Li Jinzhong and Li Lan beside him: "It's late at night, rest!" This night, the rain outside the window did not stop, constantly beating everyone's hearts, and also knocking on this originally rich but desolate land.

Today's third chapter will return to normal tomorrow morning, noon and evening
