"Wei Zhongxian is immortal, and the Ming Dynasty is immortal?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned on the spot.

They didn't understand what Li Xiao meant by this.

Isn't it very clear who Wei Zhongxian is.

A eunuch, but arrogant, oppressive of the people, deception of superiors and subordinates, and formation of gangs.

Not only meddling in government affairs, but also acting arbitrarily.

Even the harem of Emperor Xizong Zhu Youxiao was turned upside down by him.

Wei Zhongxian and the Hakka family secretly killed many of Zhu Youxiao's princes.

For this alone, killing Wei Zhongxian a hundred times is not too much.

Wei Zhongxian is clearly a traitorous villain who brutalizes loyalty and good people and abuses power and government.

It is a traitor who is spurned by the courtiers and the people of the world, and everyone is punished for it.

Everyone knows this and agrees with it.

Even everyone felt that the mediocrity and corruption of the Ming court was largely due to the existence of Wei Zhongxian.

It is because Wei Zhongxian is dictatorial in it and employs people nepotism.

indiscriminately pointed fingers at major national affairs, and appointed some flatterers with no bottom line, which completely plunged the already corrupt Ming officialdom into a turmoil.

It has indirectly led to the poor life of the common people.

Because of the inaction of the imperial court, Wei Zhongxian's arbitrariness made the local officials below behave recklessly and prey on the people.

made the entire Ming Dynasty fall into deep water.

Such a traitorous minister, a powerful minister, can't even be killed.

It's not.

It is enough to say that Wei Zhongxian can't be killed for the time being, because Wei Zhongxian can indeed play a certain balancing role in the court.

But to say that if Wei Zhongxian does not die, the Ming Dynasty will not perish, this is simply incredible.

A traitorous minister who troubles the dynasty, a big eunuch who is flying and domineering, can he still rely on such a person to save the Ming Dynasty from fire and water?

If there were no traitors like Wei Zhongxian, maybe the Ming Dynasty would not have come this far and become like this.

The sooner Wei Zhongxian dies, the sooner Daming will return to normal and get on the right track.

But when it came to Li Xiao's mouth, it actually became Wei Zhongxian immortal and the Ming Dynasty immortal.

Could it be that Wei Zhongxian, a traitor, can really save the Ming Dynasty?

"It's a joke!"

"Wei Zhongxian is a traitor, and eradicating it one day earlier is the best for my Ming court, the Ming dynasty, and the people of the Ming Dynasty."

"Wei Zhongxian's death is a great thing for my Ming Dynasty."

"Isn't it a pure fallacy to say that if he doesn't die, my Ming Dynasty will not perish!"

After a short period of astonishment, Zhu Youzhen looked at Li Xiao speechlessly and said loudly.

Zhu Youzhen couldn't understand Li Xiao's words.

What is called Wei Zhongxian is immortal, and the Ming Dynasty is immortal.

In Zhu Youzhen's view, it was because of the appearance of traitors like Wei Zhongxian that the Ming Dynasty would perish.

Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Youzhen also have similar views.

In Zhu Yuanzhang's view, it is because of the corruption of the court and officials that any dynasty will lead to the demise of the dynasty.

Because there are traitorous ministers in the court, they deceive the superiors and subordinates, and make the world a miasma, and the people are full of complaints.

Over time, the popular support is lost, and the dynasty will be overthrown.

And Wei Zhongxian, the eunuch, is the eunuch who messes with power, and he is the culprit who causes all this.

What Zhu Youzhen said is not wrong at all.

Wei Zhongxian is only best for the Ming Dynasty if he dies.

And the demise of the Ming Dynasty does have something to do with whether Wei Zhongxian dies or not, but it should be that the sooner Wei Zhongxian dies, the more the Ming Dynasty will not perish.

Instead of Li Xiao's saying that Wei Zhongxian did not die, the Ming Dynasty would not perish.

"Li Xiao, we don't understand what you mean."

"Isn't this Wei Zhongxian a big traitor, a big scourge."

"Shouldn't it be best for people like this to die early?"

"How can you say that Wei Zhongxian is immortal, and the Ming Dynasty is immortal."

"Wei Zhongxian has no benefit to the Ming Dynasty, he will only continue to corrode the foundation of the Ming Dynasty and make the Ming Dynasty unpopular."

Zhu Yuanzhang said loudly.

He also didn't understand Li Xiao's words.

Thanks to the person who said this, it was Li Xiao, if someone else said such deviant words, Zhu Yuanzhang was afraid that he would have already started to scold.

Hearing the words of Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Youzhen, the expression on Li Xiao's face did not change.

It is reasonable for Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Youzhen to have such thoughts.

After all, they are all members of the Ming royal family, and they are all people who have been emperors of the Ming Dynasty.

The position they are in is the same.

But the people of the afterlife will be different.

The people of later generations will look at it from the perspective of a bystander.

In other words, the perspective from which later generations look at problems is truly objective, and of course there are some subjective elements, but they are still relatively objective.

For example, Li Xiao looks at this issue from the perspective of a bystander.

Therefore, his thoughts and views are completely different from those of Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Youzhen.

"Big brother, you're right."

"Wei Zhongxian is indeed a big traitor, and the turbulent situation in the Ming Dynasty has a certain relationship with him."

"But the timing of Zhu Youzhen's killing of Wei Zhongxian is indeed not a good time."

"In that situation, Wei Zhongxian really can't be killed."

"Once you kill Wei Zhongxian, it will be a big deal."

As soon as Li Xiao's voice fell, he was interrupted by Zhu Youzhen.

"How is that possible!"

"Wei Zhongxian is such a traitor, I don't kill him, do you want him to harm my Ming court, fish and flesh my Ming people?"

"No matter what the situation is, Wei Zhongxian is a big problem, why don't I eradicate it?"

After speaking, Zhu Youzhen looked at Li Xiao, his eyes full of doubts.

He was already a little suspicious of Li Xiao's identity and position.

Although Li Xiao said that he was from the future world, why did he keep saying that he had killed Wei Zhongxian by mistake.

This is something he can't understand.

Li Xiao even said that later generations blamed the cause of the fall of the Ming Dynasty on his head, saying that he was the king of the Ming Dynasty.

This is also something that Zhu Youzhen can't understand.

He's done everything he can.

Whether it is the killing of Wei Zhongxian, or the best efforts in the war in Liaodong, or the suppression of the rebellion in the northwest.

He's done his best.

But things have developed to the point where he least wants to see them, and he has nothing he can do.

Obviously, he is an unavailable person in the imperial court, and the Ming treasury is also poor, so he can't come up with money at all.

Coupled with the famine caused by natural disasters in various places, the Ming Dynasty was crumbling.

All this has little to do with him Zhu Youzhen.

As an emperor, he was diligent and conscientious, and he was almost exhausted.

And after Li Zicheng entered the city of Beijing, he hanged himself directly and lived and died with the Ming Dynasty.

There was no intention of running away at all, and there was no loss of the people in the capital.

In Zhu Youzhen's own opinion, he not only retained his majesty as an emperor, but also martyred himself.

In any case, he is not a king of a dead country.

He himself is particularly convinced of this.

And the people of later generations should not judge him like this from an objective point of view, if they look at the overall situation of history.

should be able to understand his suffering, his misfortune as an emperor, and his involuntary and powerless as the last emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

Instead of just putting the hat of the king of the dead country on his head.

Not to mention that he can't even kill Wei Zhongxian.

All this is simply a fallacy.

"Li Xiao, I now doubt whether you are the person of the future."

"What is the relationship between you and Wei Zhongxian, and why have you been speaking for him all the time."

"I don't believe that people in later generations will say such outrageous things as Wei Zhongxian can't kill after learning about this history."

"Who the hell are you?"

"What are you smearing me for?"

Zhu Youzhen looked at Li Xiao and asked his own question.

All the words that Li Xiao said later were unfavorable to Zhu Youzhen.

And Zhu Youzhen also completely said the doubts in his heart at this moment.

He won't suffer Li Xiao's slander in front of Zhu Yuanzhang in vain.

If Li Xiao can really point out the problems in his governance, then he has nothing to say.

But Li Xiao kept saying that he shouldn't kill Wei Zhongxian.

This made Zhu Youzhen very puzzling.

A traitor like Wei Zhongxian can't be killed, so who else can be killed?

What Li Xiao said was simply nonsense.

Hearing Zhu Youzhen's words, Li Xiongzhi on the side hurriedly shouted: "You should pay special attention when talking to Brother Xiao with me." ”

"We can't even be sure who you are right now."

"You said you were the last emperor of the Ming Dynasty, who you were?"

"Since you are the last emperor of the Ming Dynasty, then our Brother Xiao is right to say that you are the king of the dead country."

Li Xiongzhi, as Li Xiao's loyal horse boy, will of course jump out to help Li Xiao speak.

Hearing Li Xiongzhi's words, Zhu Youzhen frowned, and was about to open his mouth to refute.

But Li Xiongzhi didn't give him a chance at all: "You just shut your mouth and listen to our Brother Xiao honestly." ”

"Before we Brother Xiao finish speaking, don't talk too much."

"No, Lao Tzu"

As he spoke, Li Xiongzhi raised his arm and signaled that he would not be polite to Zhu Youzhen.

Seeing this, Zhu Youzhen closed his mouth in amusement.

He looked at Zhu Yuanzhang for help, as if he wanted Zhu Yuanzhang to stand up and say a few words for him.

But Zhu Yuanzhang stood there and didn't speak, obviously on Li Xiao's side.

Faced with Zhu Youzhen's questioning.

Li Xiao didn't say anything, but looked at him coldly.

His eyes were full of disdain.

Zhu Youzhen, the last emperor, and later generations naturally had already evaluated him.

As he himself said, although he can't be completely blamed for the decline of the court, it also has a lot to do with him.

It is true that the Ming Dynasty he took over from Xizong Zhu Youxiao is already full of holes.

But the moment has not yet come when the building will collapse.

In fact, as long as the operation is good, Daming may not be able to continue its life for decades.

But Zhu Youzhen was not able to let Da Ming continue his life, but directly let Da Ming end up like this.

Later generations' evaluation of Zhu Youzhen is that he is very happy, his heart is higher than the sky, and his life is thinner than paper.

Ability is not worthy of the best representation of ambition.

Although he really wants to be a good emperor, and he wants to save the Ming Empire from danger, his ability is really not good.

And a lot of critical and fatal decisions were made.

Da Ming died at his hands, and it can be said that he was not wronged at all.

Zhu Youzhen was indeed unlucky and took over such a mess.

But at that time, the Ming Dynasty was not a situation of ten deaths, at most it was a little difficult.

If the emperors in the early Ming Dynasty worked hard to save money for future generations, then the emperors in the middle period were completely squandering their family wealth.

And when it comes to Zhu Youzhen, it is more miserable, that is, Daming's family has been squandered.

He had to do everything himself.

But in any case, he still has the strong fixed property of the Ming Dynasty.

It's not nothing, he still has the position of emperor.

But he couldn't grasp all this.

Although the difficulty was a little more difficult, he did not do anything to turn the tide.

In fact, at this time, he doesn't have to do anything.

You don't need to think about what you want to do for eternity, what kind of savior of the Ming Dynasty, you just need to be a qualified emperor.

As long as we work hard to stabilize this situation, so that the internal problems of the Ming Dynasty do not continue to worsen, and the already precarious Ming Dynasty does not continue to deteriorate.

However, under the internal and external troubles, natural and man-made disasters, Zhu Youzhen still made many wrong decisions.

It was these wrong decisions that completely collapsed the Ming Dynasty.

And these wrong decisions, Zhu Youzhen himself was unaware.

Even at the moment of the fall of the Ming Dynasty, he didn't realize it.

Or maybe he's aware of it, but he doesn't want to admit it.

Or maybe they don't dare to admit it.

In short, Zhu Youzhen was the first person responsible for the demise of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Youzhen cannot shirk this point.

As for the question of whether Wei Zhongxian should be killed, Zhu Youzhen can be regarded as doing something wrong.

Because after Wei Zhongxian's death, a series of problems derived from it were also fatal to the Ming court later.

However, Zhu Youzhen was not aware of this.

"Zhu Youzhen, don't say it."

"I know you're not going to admit these problems anyway."

"But I can tell you responsibly that I am a person from the future generations."

"I can also tell you very responsibly that future generations will see you as the king of the dead country."

"Moreover, the people of later generations feel that the timing of your killing of Wei Zhongxian is indeed wrong."

Li Xiao said in a deep voice.

In the face of Zhu Youzhen's questioning, he didn't care at all.

After that, Li Xiongzhi's scolding in front of him, as well as Zhu Yuanzhang's ignorance.

Zhu Youzhen also quieted down.

This time, he did not speak out to refute and defend himself.

Instead, he listened honestly.

Seeing that Zhu Youzhen did not interrupt himself, Li Xiao continued:

"I never said that Wei Zhongxian shouldn't be killed, but that you killed him at the wrong time."

"Don't say that you couldn't help yourself at that time and had to kill Wei Zhongxian."

"You killed Wei Zhongxian in a hurry, although you have accumulated enough prestige and popular support in the short term, but in the long run, it is a big problem."

"Because you haven't thought about how to check and balance the Donglin Party in the future!"
