Chapter 232 was squeezed dry by a woman and died
"During Chongzhen's reign, he successively sent Jinyi Wei to interrogate dozens of ministers, including some famous ministers, and after these people were interrogated, they would be directly executed."
For example, the famous Donglin Party members Yang Sichang, Yuan Chonghuan, Wei Zhongxian and others were all "Donglin Party members" during the Chongzhen Emperor's period.
In addition, there was a ridiculous thing in the last years of the Ming Dynasty, that is, "Jinyi Wei Juren". ”
"This incident happened in the Wanli period, when two ministers were interrogated and directly executed, which became a major scandal in the last years of the Ming Dynasty."
Fusu: Does that mean torture to produce evidence?
Qianlong: This Dongchang and Jinyiwei, the interrogators are really strict and ruthless, and few can get out of the whole body, which is indeed more ruthless than Dali Temple and the like.
Xiaozhuang: This Zhu Youzhen is also incompetent, he can't use the Jinyiwei and Dongchang in front of him, it's ridiculous!
Liu Che: If I'm not mistaken, isn't this Zhu Youzhen a benevolent gentleman? Hang under the tree?
Zhu Di: I remember too, didn't Miss Zhang say that he was Mingjun?
Zhu Yuanzhang: I was still moved for a while, natural disasters and man-made disasters, I was destroyed by the Ming Dynasty, and I can't blame him, I understand that he did his best.
Dolgon:! What kind of bullshit Renjun, that is a mediocre gentleman, I can't hear Miss Zhang's counterwords, diligence is there, diligence and stupidity are a mediocre gentleman, that is, it looks better to hang yourself in the end!
"This is a bit banal."
"Chongzhen is also completely because of the lack of royal education, and the connivance of the Ming Dynasty for literati led to the existence of too many impractical courtiers."
"There are no parents or good teachers, so it's no wonder that the president is crooked."
"Seeing that Song Taizu set the policy of emphasizing literature and ignoring military force, it led to the Song Dynasty's military weakness, and the skill books of commerce, shipbuilding and poetry culture are full."
"If Song Huizong hadn't met the strong and prosperous season of the Jin State, maybe he would have left a good reputation as a poetry emperor."
"Emperor Chongzhen, he has two major powers, and he doesn't need to open a new organization, Jinyiwei and Dongchang are enough."
"Let's tell you about this East Factory first, to put it bluntly, it is a eunuch."
"Dongchang was established in 1420 AD, that is, the eighteenth year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty, in order to suppress political opposition, Ming Chengzu thought that Jinyiwei was not enough, so he set up a unit called Dongzhishichang, the full name is: Governor of Qincha Dongchang Official School Office Eunuch, referred to as Admiral Dongchang."
Cao Cao: This name is quite high-end, haha!
"Because the Jinyi guards are all soldiers or sons of powerful people, they can't enter the harem during the day, and they even have to apply for the Forbidden City to enter at night, which is very inconvenient."
"The emperor used the eunuchs of the East Factory to be responsible for liaising with Jinyiwei, and the East Factory was like the superior of Jinyiwei."
"The first commander of Jinyiwei is called Mao Xiang, in the Ming Dynasty, Jinyiwei commanded more power than Dongchang There are not many periods, such as the Ming Dynasty Chengzu Jinyiwei commanded Ji Gang, Menda, Lu Gao, the power is greater than that of Dongchang."
"Although the East Factory was founded by Ming Chengzu, the trust in Jinyiwei is obviously higher than that of the East Factory."
"In addition, during the Jiajing period, Lu Bing, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, was the captain of Jiajing's guard when he was the prince, and Jiajing's trust in him also exceeded that of the East Factory, and at other times, the forces of the East Factory were stable over the Jinyi Guard."
"In the Wanli period, Jinyiwei was already Wang Xiaoer's New Year, and it was not as good as a year, and gradually became a vassal of Dongchang."
"When Wei Zhongxian was in power, the boss of Jinyiwei was Tian Ergeng, and he was willing to be his righteous son."
"At the end of Chongzhen, the Ming Dynasty was declining, and Li Zicheng's rebel army fought all the way to BJ City, and the imperial court had no soldiers available, so as the emperor's personal guard, Jinyi Wei had to carry a knife to participate in defending the city."
"However, in the later stage, the selection standards of the Jinyi Guards were lowered, and the members inside were mixed, most of them were mixed with relationships, or they were hereditary straw bales that entered the institution, as the saying goes, there will be a nest of bears, and even the leader is willing to be the dog leg of the eunuch, how can the younger brother below still have any blood, plus the personal combat strength is not as good as before, so in the battle to defend the city, they did not play any role, a small number of bloody Jinyi guards died in battle, and most of the rest chose to surrender."
"Li Zicheng tortured the surrendered Jinyi guards because of the recovery of stolen goods and salaries, forcing them to pay money, and in the process, he killed some of the Jinyi guards."
"Soon after the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, the Jinyi Wei commanded Luo Yangxing to see the wind and rudder, and took his younger brother to take refuge in the Qing court, Dolgon wanted to use the Jinyi Wei to stabilize the situation, so he continued the Jinyi Wei this institution, and also named Luo Yangxing as the governor, a year later the Manchu Qing saw that the situation gradually stabilized, so they reformed the Luo Yang Xing's real poor, most of the Jinyi Wei high-level were also killed by finding excuses, and the ordinary Jinyi Wei members were dismissed, and since then the flying fish suit is no longer beautiful, and the embroidered spring knife is extinct in the court."
"From the perspective of later generations, Jinyiwei did play a big role, effectively cracked down on corruption, and cleared a number of disasters for the emperor, but overkill, Jinyiwei relied on independent prison authority, and became a new disaster, stirring up the Ming Dynasty for hundreds of years.
"This is also Zhu Youzhen, who holds the power, the problem is that Chongzhen doesn't need it!"
"Delegating too much power to Jinyiwei and Dongchang will cause disaster, but the consequences are worse if you don't use it at all."
"At the beginning, Jinyiwei was just the emperor's personal guard, and then it developed into the emperor's eyes and ears, and then it was upgraded to an organization to arrest and interrogate criminals."
"Chongzhen directly regarded Jinyiwei as a personal guard, and the East Factory was even more deserted."
"But in the end, Chongzhen is still too young, a young Chongzhen who has experienced the nine-thousand-year-old reign of Wei Zhongxian."
"Like most of the traitorous ministers, I think that Wei Zhongxian and Jinyi Weidongchang are traitors, and those civil officials are loyal."
"That's why Jinyiwei and Dongchang were stopped, and Li Zicheng's entry into Beijing to raid his house shows that most of these ministers need Jinyiwei's care."
"As for the big change of officials, in fact, everyone should be able to understand that this is unrealistic, and the court is also full of people who form a party."
Li Shimin: Isn't this similar to Hu Hai? Isn't this Wei Zhongxian a eunuch? He is in power? This should be called a faint king!
Qin Shi Huang: My family is not as good as others, I don't understand the regime at all, I only know how to spend all day and wine, this Zhu Youzhen is still a little diligent?
Qianlong: Haha! Have you ever heard of a sentence in the first emperor, the busier you are, the more chaotic you are, this one is, it's really better to take a good rest, I don't know what the use of being so diligent every day?
Zhu Changluo: Is this kid so stupid?
He Shen: Yo! This is the first time I've seen it! No, how can you have the face to say Emperor Chongzhen, an emperor who was squeezed dry by a woman and died!
