Chapter Seventy-Six: The Kingdom Will Fall, and the Demon Will Rise (II)
Last time, I talked about the process of Zhu Youxiao's accession to the throne of Ming Xizong was extremely bumpy, which involved all aspects of power struggle, which made people overwhelmed.
At the beginning of Ming Xizong's accession to the throne, the Donglin Party was more powerful. Yang Lian, Zuo Guangdou, Zhao Nanxing, Gao Panlong and others also held important positions in the DPRK. Because Yang Lian and others made great efforts to help Zhu Youxiao ascend the throne, Zhu Youxiao trusted these Donglin Party members very much and obeyed their words.
As a result, with the assistance of the Donglin Party, Zhu Youxiao quickly promoted Sun Chengzong, Yuan Keli, Yuan Chonghuan and other "Donglin Party" border defense in the early days of his reign.
However, once the "Donglin Party" became a climate, the birds in its forests quickly became full-fledged, tossed around, and even did some favoritism and oppression of good things. In this regard, if there is a strong monarch, he may still be able to suppress it, but Zhu Youxiao is not a wise and martial king.
At the beginning, when Zhu Yijun, the emperor of Shenzong of the Wanli Dynasty, was in power, he only cared about his own pleasure and had no time to take care of the reading problem of the emperor's grandson, and he also did not like Zhu Changluo's son, and Zhu Changluo of Mingguangzong was still a short-lived emperor, which led to Zhu Youxiao's low level of education when he succeeded to the throne.
Because he did not have much culture, Zhu Youxiao issued orders and edicts, and he could only rely on listening to and reading other people's drafts to make decisions. In addition, he is unwilling to be at the mercy of others, so he often does not know how to pretend to understand, and a papyri edict or half an edict has to be altered many times before it can be formed, and it often makes sense of literature and science.
Such an "edict" was issued, which made the people of the government and the opposition laugh at it, and felt that this high-ranking "Emperor Lao Tzu" was too substandard, and it was simply embarrassing, so it was better to get off the dragon chair as soon as possible and find something else to do. This hit Ming Xizong Zhu Youxiao's confidence.
However, according to the old practice of the Ming Dynasty, all courtiers must be approved by the emperor's imperial pen, which is the regulation of Zhu Yuanzhang, the "Taizu of the Ming Dynasty". If it is a routine document, the celebrant will prepare the examination on behalf of the celebrant on his behalf, and he must also write the words "Cabinet Ticket" or change it by order. This greatly stumped the "illiterate emperor" Zhu Youxiao.
As a result, Zhu Youxiao handed over the above official duties to the "eunuch" Wei Zhongxian beside him, that is, the later "chief of the inner house" and "nine-thousand-year-old master".
Wei Zhongxian took the opportunity to exclude dissidents, expand his power, and despotize the country, because Zhu Youjiao was busy doing his carpentry work in the harem and didn't care about anything. Zhu Youxiao's biggest hobby is doing carpentry work, and the last emperor of the Yuan Dynasty, Emperor Yuan Shun, is Tuhuan Timur.
However, the carpentry work of Zhu Youxiao of Ming Xizong was much better than that of Emperor Yuan Shun Tuhuan Timur, and he could even be called the most famous carpenter.
In terms of carpentry work, Zhu Youxiao is ingenious and seems to have innate wisdom. His hand-made lacquerware, beds, comb boxes, etc., are all decorated with colorful and exquisite designs, which are unexpected. Some people once said that it was precisely because of the Ming Xizong Zhu Youxiao that a "new chapter" in the history of Ming Dynasty furniture was created.
According to historical records, during the Apocalypse of the Ming Dynasty, the beds made by craftsmen were extremely cumbersome, and only a dozen people could move, and there were many materials and styles. Later, Zhu Youxiao pondered by himself, designed the pattern, saw the nail board himself, and built a new bed in more than a year, the bed board can be folded, and it is very convenient to carry and move, and even the bed frame is carved with various patterns, which is extremely beautiful and generous. So, it was an instant sensation.
It is said that he can make all the wooden utensils, pavilions and pavilions that Zhu Youxiao has seen. He had to operate all the carpentry work such as knives, saws, axes, chisels, danqing, and lacquer, and he was never tired of it, and he even worked until the middle of the night, and he did not feel tired.
Zhu Youxiao also likes to build houses, like to play tricks, often after the house is built, happy to dance, repeatedly appreciated, and after the joy has passed, but immediately destroyed and rebuilt, and is still a new kind of production, and never feel tired, it is really "drunk and do not know the way back", enlightenment.
Wu Baoya wrote in the "Kuangyuan Magazine" that Zhu Youxiao had personally built a small palace in the courtyard, the form imitated the Qianqing Palace, no more than three or four feet high, but the twists and turns were subtle, small and exquisite, and ingenious. He also made an agarwood rockery, a pond and a forest pavilion, which was meticulously carved, which was a must-have at that time. Zhu Youxiao likes to play ball, often plays ball with eunuchs in Changle Palace, Zhu Youxiao felt that it was not enjoyable to play, so he designed and built five Keyuan halls.
Liu Ruoyu, a eunuch of the Ming Dynasty, said in the "Chronicles of the Middle" written during the Chongzhen period: "The first emperor is good at galloping horses, good at martial arts, and very good at water plays, with large wooden barrels, large copper cylinders and the like, chisel and cutting machines to open and close instilled, or gushing like spraying beads, or flowing like waterfalls, or making the ambush machine down, using water power to rush to embrace the round wooden balls, such as walnuts, swirling like the size of the water gushing, with the height and down, for a long time without falling, as a joke, are unexpected."
The anti-sage Ke clan applauded and praised it, and the sky was smart and not human. The holy nature is good for building a house, and whoever uses his own axe and saws and chisels, that is, the skillful work cannot reach it. He is also a good painter, and all the hand-made utensils are used by the royal supervisor and the internal official supervisor, and the first emperor is close to him
Close ministers such as Tu Wenfu, Ge Jiusi, Du Yongming, Wang Binggong, Hu Mingzuo, Qi Liangchen, Li Benzhong, Zhang Yingzhao, Gao Yongshou, etc., build day and night, become happy, happy soon and abandon, abandon and become, not tired also.
And he doesn't love the finished instrument, he doesn't hesitate to make heavenly things, and he lets the violence be destroyed and destroyed, but the holy will is at the right time. When it is cut with a knife and unraveled, those who are not close to it are not allowed to peep, or there are close to this chapter, and the body is dry, etc., while managing the despicable affairs, while listening attentively.
After the recital, Yuyin said: 'You go with your heart, I know'. Therefore, the handle of Tai'a was moved downward. This was the beginning of Wei Zhongxian's usurpation of power.
This situation is already the norm, because when Zhu Youxiao of Ming Xizong was concentrating on carpenter's work, the great eunuch Wei Zhongxian just happened to be on time and deliberately wanted to do something. Emperor Apocalypse was working hard, he was bored of listening to it, he refused to listen to it, and he said that he was already clear, you just need to watch and do it.
As a result, Wei Zhongxian, the "eunuch party", took the opportunity to extort power many times and squeeze out the "Donglin party". Since then, the "Dongchang spies" have been rampant, traitors are in power, the people are in trouble, and the people are not living, which leads to extreme political darkness, and finally leads to the death of Yang Lian, Zuo Guangdou, and Wei Dazhong, the "Six Gentlemen of Donglin".
