This impeachment of Wei Zhongxian's ten crimes was written by Jiaxing Gongsheng Qian Jia.

Behind Jiaxing Gongsheng Qian Jia is the Donglin Party.

In the struggle against Wei Zhongxian's eunuch party, the Donglin Party lost very miserably.

was almost beaten by Wei Zhongxian's eunuchs, and there was no room to fight back.

And the officials of the East and East Forestry Party in the DPRK were also bullied by Wei Zhongxian.

Therefore, the rhetoric on this recital is not unintense, and the crime is not insignificant.

And when this piece was sent to Zhu Youjian, Wei Zhongxian already knew about it.

But it was too late, because the twists and turns finally came to Zhu Youzhen's hands.

Therefore, when Zhu Youzhen said that he would read out this impeachment of Wei Zhongxian's ten crimes in front of hundreds of officials, Wei Zhongxian was already frightened.

He knew that he could not admit any of the charges above.

Otherwise, there is no place to bury.

Therefore, before his ten major sins were read out, Wei Zhongxian knelt directly in front of Zhu Youzhen and wept bitterly and shouted injustice.

But Zhu Youzhen was unmoved, and still asked the chamberlain to read out the ten sins in public.

On the fold, Wei Zhongxian's top ten crimes are as follows:

The first cardinal sin: to be tied with the emperor!

'Parallel with the emperor' means that Wei Zhongxian was pretentious and caused chaos in the government.

Long live the emperor, Wei Zhongxian actually called "nine thousand nine hundred years old", almost on an equal footing with the emperor.

even influenced the emperor's thoughts and behaviors, and reviewed the chapter on behalf of the emperor, so that the hundred officials only knew that there was Wei Zhongxian, but did not know that there was an emperor, which was also a crime.

The second cardinal sin: contempt for the Queen!

'Contempt for the Empress' means that Wei Zhongxian deliberately played with power, controlled the government with the Hakka clan, and treated the Emperor of the Apocalypse as a puppet at his mercy.

However, the Empress of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, the Zhang family, was more disgusted with Wei Zhongxian and the Hakka family, and kept telling the Emperor of the Apocalypse in private that the two of them had ill intentions and should be careful.

This angered Wei Zhongxian and the Hakka family, and Wei Zhongxian began to do everything possible to get rid of Empress Zhang Yan.

In the end, when the queen was about to give birth, Wei Zhongxian began to attack, causing the queen to give birth to a stillborn baby and die of depression, which is also the second crime.

The third cardinal sin: manipulating military power!

'Playing with military power' means that Wei Zhongxian holds military power, holds the military seal in his own hands, and mobilizes the army at will.

At the same time, there were as many as 10,000 people in the deep palace.

These internal soldiers wore armor and knives in and out of the deep palace, wantonly acting as a threat and abuse, which is also a three-crime crime.

The Fourth Deadly Sin: The Ancestors of the Ancestors!

The meaning of 'Ancestors of the Ancestors' means that Wei Zhongxian, as a eunuch, was supposed to fulfill his duties and serve the emperor.

However, Wei Zhongxian had no master, despised the emperors of the Ming Dynasty, and ignored the ancestral teachings, which was also a crime.

The fifth cardinal sin: the knighthood of the vassal king!

'Knighthood of the vassal king' means to deduct the knighthood of some meritorious vassal kings from the imperial court, causing public anger.

To a certain extent, it affected the unity and rule within the Ming Dynasty, which was also a crime.

The Sixth Deadly Sin: No Saint in Sight!

'Eyes without a saint' refers to Wei Zhongxian's pro-thief, hatred of loyalty, not virtue, and criticism of the words of the saint, which is also a sin.

The Seventh Deadly Sin: Indiscriminate Reward!

'Indiscriminate rewards' is not a traitor to sell officials, but Wei Zhongxian's appointment of traitors.

After Wei Zhongxian grasped the real power, he arbitrarily appointed relatives and friends, formed a party for personal gain, and arbitrarily knighted, which led to a lot of complaints, which was also a crime of seven crimes.

The Eighth Deadly Sin: Covering Up Side Skills!

'Covering up the side work', the Ming Dynasty was at war with foreign peoples, and they won and lost each other.

According to the custom, regardless of victory or defeat, the border pass must be reported to the imperial court and let the emperor know. But Wei Zhongxian blocked all the battle reports sent to the capital.

Regardless of whether he won or lost, Wei Zhongxian did not let the emperor know, which caused the border of the Ming Dynasty to be unstable, which was also a crime.

The Ninth Deadly Sin: Exploitation of the People!

'Exploitation of the common people', during Wei Zhongxian's reign, the salt tax and mining tax were restored, which also included the industrial and commercial tax.

In addition, the original agricultural tax and other harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes made the burden on the peasants at that time even heavier.

Moreover, Wei Zhongxian abused his relatives, killed innocents indiscriminately, and disregarded people's lives, causing public resentment to boil and complain, which is also a crime of nine crimes.

The Tenth Deadly Sin: Traffic Joints!

'Traffic joint', Wei Zhongxian went from the palace and then went to be a eunuch.

When he was in the palace, he didn't cut it clean, and he spent money to buy off the chief eunuch in the palace, so he was able to enter the palace.

After entering the palace, he did evil.

Moreover, the body is skinned, and the parents who are subjected to it, Wei Zhongxian castrated it himself, which is really a big shame, and it is also a ten-guilty crime.

Each of these ten crimes is enough to sentence Wei Zhongxian to death, and even Ling Chi's death is not too much.

After Wei Zhongxian heard about these ten sins, he was suddenly mourned.

No matter which of these ten major crimes is, they are all real, and they are indeed the crimes committed by him Wei Zhongxian.

Immediately, Wei Zhongxian bowed his head.

kept crying and defending himself.

He hoped that Zhu Youzhen would be able to let him go.

In any case, although he committed these crimes, he was not alone.

Rather, it is a huge interest group, a eunuch party.

If Zhu Youzhen really wants to kill him and liquidate him, the entire Ming court will inevitably have some unnecessary twists and turns.

Therefore, Wei Zhongxian was very clear in his heart.

As long as his attitude is good enough and he is soft in front of Zhu Youzhen, Zhu Youzhen may not kill himself.

He knew that Zhu Youzhen was a smart person.

Zhu Youzhen looked at Wei Zhongxian, who kept kowtowing and begging for mercy, and forcibly endured the killing intent in his heart.

Send Wei Zhongxian to Fengyang for resettlement.

Zhu Youzhen also knew in his heart that there were too many henchmen behind Wei Zhongxian, and the number of people involved was too wide.

If he really killed Wei Zhongxian today, maybe those people would have acted excessively in fear.

At this moment, Da Ming is already in turmoil, and he doesn't want to cause more trouble.

Seeing that Zhu Youzhen did not kill himself, Wei Zhongxian was naturally happy.

When even Shane went to Fengyang.

At this point, Wei Zhongxian, the great eunuch who had controlled the Ming Dynasty for decades, was overthrown by Zhu Youzhen.

A rare glimmer of light appeared in the court of the Ming Dynasty.

But after Wei Zhongxian died on the run, he still did not restrain himself.

When he went out of the city to Fengyang, he was still swaggering and majestic.

even raised a group of outlaws to accompany him, and that posture was like raising a group of private soldiers.

Jin Yiwei quickly informed Zhu Youzhen of the news.

Zhu Youzhen was furious after getting the news.

Unexpectedly, he obviously let Wei Zhongxian go, but Wei Zhongxian was still so arrogant.

It's as if I'm afraid of him.

Immediately, Zhu Youzhen could no longer hold back his murderous intent.

He asked Jinyiwei to go and arrest Wei Zhongxian, and he wanted to re-try Wei Zhongxian.

However, Wei Zhong's henchmen in the palace are really numerous, and there are countless eunuchs.

Soon the news leaked.

The news that Chongzhen sent Jinyi Wei to arrest Wei Zhongxian was soon secretly reported to Wei Zhongxian.

After Wei Zhongxian learned the news, he knew that he was already inescapable of dying.

If he is captured by Jinyiwei and returned to the capital, then what awaits him must be life rather than death.

At the very least, it is also a Ling Chi end.

Rather than suffer that kind of pain, it is better to take it upon yourself.

Immediately, Wei Zhongxian hanged himself in the inn.

Wei Zhongxian, the great eunuch who leaned towards the government and the opposition and had been stinking for thousands of years, hanged himself in the inn like this.

I don't know if this way of dying is cheap Wei Zhongxian.

After Zhu Youzhen learned the news of Wei Zhongxian's suicide in fear of crime, he no longer had any reservations.

Since Wei Zhongxian, the head of the eunuch party, is dead, then the others are just a rabble.

Immediately, Zhu Youzhen went on a killing spree and began to completely liquidate the eunuchs.

And Wei Zhongxian's concubine, the nurse of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, was also liquidated by Zhu Youzhen.

The Hakka family was ordered by Zhu Youzhen to be killed with a cane.

The two culprit, Wei Zhongxian and the Hakka family, were also killed by Ling Chi.

In the end, Zhu Youzhen also ordered Wei Zhongxian's body to be dismembered, and his head was hung in Hejian Mansion, so that the people of the world would scold him.

The disciples of the two were either executed, cut off, confiscated, or exiled.

Zhu Youzhen also recalled the town guards and eunuchs from various places and began a thorough investigation of the crimes committed by Wei Zhongxian and the Hakka clan.

and rehabilitated the Donglin Party who were persecuted by Wei Zhongxian, thus realizing the chaos and putting things right.

Let the officials of the Ming Dynasty and the people of the Ming Dynasty see the dawn of hope.

Because Zhu Youzhen wiped out the eunuchs, the world got a moment of clarity.

At that time, the people's evaluation of Zhu Youzhen was also quite high.

The common people commented that Zhu Youzhen wiped out Wei Zhongxian, the powerful eunuch, invisibly without moving.

This move and means are simply brilliant and wise.

Because of the elimination of Wei Zhongxian, the eunuch group, Zhu Youzhen's prestige reached its peak for a while.

Everyone thinks that Zhu Youzhen is the master of Zhongxing who can make the Ming Empire take off again.

Zhu Youzhen's next actions did not disappoint the courtiers and the people of the world.

After cutting off Wei Zhongxian's eunuchs, he worked diligently and made great efforts to restore the decline of the Ming Dynasty and realize the great cause of Zhongxing.

On the twelfth day of the first month of the first year of Chongzhen, he admonished his ministers.

It is said that after the collapse of the eunuch party and the "return of duties to all departments", the ministers must "be loyal and exhausted", wash away the accumulated shortcomings, and "save wealth for the country and choose officials for the people".

At the same time, 'all those who discuss the national economy should abide by the laws of our ancestors, and shall not arbitrarily discuss and change.'"

He himself led by example and was diligent in political affairs.

He always insisted on teaching scriptures and feasts and daily lectures, not only studying Confucian classics, but also always listening to the opinions of the lecturers and discussing current affairs with the courtiers.

Zhu Youzhen 'got up every day, and the night was sleepless', and there was never a feast in the palace.

He not only insisted on the regular dynasty, but also went to the Wenhua Hall to summon important ministers to discuss political affairs, except for the summer and cold.

He never slackened off in reviewing the recitals, often 'reading until the night', and even issued holy decrees in the middle of the night.

Zhu Youzhen was not only known for his diligence among the emperors of the Ming Dynasty, but was even praised by his subordinates as 'rare since the Han and Tang dynasties'.

After listening to Li Xiao tell the story between Zhu Youzhen and Wei Zhongxian, Zhu Yuanzhang, Li Xiongzhi and others frowned.

According to Li Xiao, then this Zhu Youzhen is really just like what he said, a Ming Jun?

Isn't it the fallen king of the Ming Empire?

However, Li Xiao obviously said that the fall of the Ming Empire had nothing to do with Zhu Youzhen.

But what Li Xiao said just now is obviously saying good things about Zhu Youzhen, isn't it a bit inconsistent.

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but wonder.

"Li Xiao, according to what you said."

"This self-proclaimed 9,900-year-old Wei Zhongxian is a big traitor, and everyone is condemned."

"Then it seems that this Zhu Youzhen is still a good emperor with courage and courage."

Zhu Yuanzhang said lightly.

Although he has no friendship with Zhu Youzhen, he is happy to see his descendants and grandchildren have the ability and ability.

It's much better than the children and grandchildren of later generations who are wine bags and rice bags.

got Zhu Yuanzhang's approval, and Zhu Youzhen nodded silently on the side.

Immediately I felt in a good mood.

originally thought that this Li Xiao would take the opportunity to smear himself and casually talk nonsense about some nonsensical things.

But I didn't expect that this Li Xiao not only did not discredit himself, but also beautified himself.

The things Li Xiao said are all true, they are all facts.

It can even be said that Li Xiao has exaggerated the facts, and he is not as good as Li Xiao said.

At that time, there were still many courtiers around me who gave advice to themselves.

was able to eradicate Wei Zhongxian perfectly, and some of the courtiers around him also contributed a lot, not the credit of his own alone.

But since Li Xiao said it, then he also admitted it generously.

Anyway, it's a good thing to say about yourself, not a bad thing about yourself.

Hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's words, Li Xiao replied loudly: "Big brother, don't worry. ”

"Haven't I finished yet?"

"I just finished talking about Zhu Youzhen's ascension to the throne and the eradication of Wei Zhongxian, and there are many things to come."

"Let's judge a person, but we can't just look at one thing."

"It must be evaluated together with what this person has done."

Hearing Li Xiao's words, Zhu Youzhen couldn't help but be stunned.

According to the meaning of Li Xiao's words, the next thing is to say that he is not good?

It turned out that Li Xiao was saying good things in front.

Zhu Youzhen couldn't help but get a little nervous.

He still doesn't understand what he did wrong in governing the country, what is wrong.

It seems that Li Xiao is about to say it.

Although Zhu Youzhen was a little nervous at the moment, he still had some expectations.

He also wanted to see what he was wrong in the eyes of future generations.

Zhu Yuanzhang heard Li Xiao's words and nodded: "Li Xiao, you're right." ”

"Then you go on, let's listen."

Li Xiongzhi, Tian Zhiwei and others also kept silent with interest, and looked at Li Xiao with curiosity on their faces.

In the eyes of these people, they are just listening to Li Xiao's story.

It's just that this story sounds so real, it seems to be happening around them.

Li Xiao looked around at the people around him and said lightly: "Although Zhu Youzhen has exterminated Wei Zhongxian's eunuchs. ”

"But as soon as I entered the court, it was as deep as the sea, and a Wei Zhongxian fell, but there was another force that developed and grew above the court."

"And this force can be regarded as cultivated by Zhu Youzhen himself."

"That's the Donglin Party!"
