Li Xiake's original war horse snatched from the bandits has been shot by Cao Shaoqin's officers and soldiers, at this time it is Cao Shaoqin's mount, this horse is still extremely fast, but even so, from Datong to Beijing, it is not just one day, after Li Xiake arrived in Beijing, it was already five days after fighting with Cao Shaoqin.

After he came to Beijing, he didn't say much, found a place to live, and inquired about the situation in the capital in restaurants, streets and alleys.

It's just that now there is a lot of noise in the capital, and if you want to inquire about the affairs of the imperial court on the street, it is almost impossible to find any useful news.

Li Xiake was a little impatient, and entered an official's house that night, the long sword was across the official's neck, and after asking for a long time, he finally had a little understanding of the current court.

It turned out that this time was no longer the Jingtai period in Li Xiake's impression, but the reign of Yingzong, and Zhu Qizhen regained power.

In that year, Emperor Zhu Qizhen listened to the slander of the eunuch Wang Zhen and led the army to conquer in person, but was also the first to break the civil fort and be taken captive to the north, and the great eunuch Wang Zhen was hammered to death by the general Fan Zhong.

After Yingzong was captured, Yu Qian and others in the capital at that time supported Zhu Qizhen's younger brother Zhu Qiyu to supervise the country, and later he was made the emperor and changed the name to Jingtai, and Zhu Qiyu was Emperor Jing.

After taking away Yingzong first, he originally wanted to extort a large amount of money from the Ming Dynasty, but before the conditions were put forward, the new emperor of the Ming Dynasty was set up, and this time Yingzong Zhu Qiyu suddenly became a chicken rib like a thing, tasteless food, and it was a pity to abandon it, and later through some negotiations with the old ministers of Yingzong, Zhu Qizhen was returned to the Ming Dynasty.

It's good that Zhu Qizhen didn't come, he came like this, and the ministers of the Ming Dynasty were very embarrassed, I don't know whether it is better to let Zhu Qiyu be the emperor, or let Zhu Qizhen be the emperor, and then discussed it, and felt that Zhu Qiyu is now the emperor, plus Zhu Qizhen is doing nonsense, and the change of the civil fort greatly hurts the country, and the country cannot easily change the king, so Zhu Qiyu's emperor continued to be, Zhu Qizhen was called the emperor, and he was tormented in the cold palace.

Later, Xu Youzhen and others launched a change to seize the door, welcomed Yingzong back, imprisoned Emperor Jing, and Yingzong sat on the throne again.

Looking at the courtiers of the Son of Heaven in the Ming Dynasty, since Zhu Di, there is hardly a good thing, the courtiers abolished the Son of Heaven, the emperor killed the ministers indiscriminately, the emperor messed around, and the courtiers also messed around, as long as they could ensure that they were vested interest groups.

Putting aside other things, in terms of being an emperor alone, the emperors of the Ming Dynasty were several grades behind the emperors of the Qing Dynasty, and they were not even worthy of carrying shoes for the emperors of the Qing Dynasty.

Just said that this Yingzong Zhu Qizhen, after his return, did not even learn a lesson, continued to reuse eunuchs, suppressed the ministers, and the minister Yu Qian was executed by him. This person self-destructed the Great Wall, killed Yu Qian, and rehabilitated Wang Zhen, all kinds of bastards were favored by him all over again, but he didn't favor the real pillars of the courtiers, it was really stupid.

Cao Shaoqin, the great eunuch of Dongchang, was favored by him at this time, and ordered him to take charge of Dongchang, supervise hundreds of officials, and have the ability to dictate, so Cao Shaoqin can be so domineering and domineering, even Yang Yuxuan, the secretary of the military department, dared to kill.

Li Xiake arrested several officials in a row, kept asking, and asked for several days, plus some historical knowledge he knew before, he already had some understanding of the current situation in the imperial court.

The history of this world is different from the real history, it is not the same, originally in history, the eunuch Cao Jixiang and Xu Youzhen and others conspired to seize the door, but in this world, it became Cao Shaoqin.

Cao Jixiang in history is unbearable, and now this Cao Shaoqin is not a good thing, although he has done some things in charge of Dongchang, but in order to monopolize power, Cao Kan has few lives.

Although Cao Shaoqin is a little better than Wang Zhen, it is not much better, and all kinds of signs show that he still has the intention of plotting to usurp the throne and become the emperor, which is a bit unbelievable, a eunuch actually wants to be the emperor, which is really inflated, but since he has this idea, it can be seen that he should still be a little sure, but this also shows that in the entire world, there are few people who can compete with Cao Shaoqin.

"Hehe, a eunuch also wants to be an emperor, am I crazy, or is this world crazy?"

After summarizing all the news, the more Li Xiake thought about it, the more he coke, and he couldn't help laughing: "Cao Shaoqin is also a character, how can he be so unwise? But if this idea is changed, it is actually very good, tsk, I suddenly have a bold idea!"

After combing through all aspects of this world, he had a general understanding of Cao Shaoqin and the Manchu officials.

Among the officials of the Manchu Dynasty in the Ming Dynasty, eight or nine out of ten are Qing talkers, the most boastful, in essence, whether it is style or ability, they are all fart, but there are also people who can do practical things, but after all, there are not many, and most of them are low-level local officials, the more big officials, the more they seem to be able to fuck up.

As vested interest groups, especially Jiangnan interest groups, almost none of these civil officials have a clean butt, and many people are still full of nostalgia for the Yuan Dynasty, because the Yuan Dynasty "takes the people the lightest" and pays the lowest taxes, and the legal status of tenants in the Yuan Dynasty is regarded as slaves and maids, and the landlord has the right to kill the tenants at the legal level. Killing a tenant is only a slaughter of cattle and horses, and not even a donkey.

This was the unprecedented privilege and preferential treatment that the Chinese landlord class received after the Shang Dynasty reform.

In other words, the Han landlords of the Yuan Dynasty were the most brutal exploiters that the Chinese people had ever faced after the Shang Dynasty. It is not surprising that these exploiters did not miss their predecessors after being deprived of their privileges, and it was not until a hundred years of sustained rule by the Ming Dynasty that this sentiment slowly faded.

This is just like the modern era in which Li Xiake lived in his previous life, and there are still many scholars who miss the Republic of China and vigorously advocate the Republic of China era, the ass decides the head, and everything is due to interests.

Now because Zhu Yuanzhang "never raises taxes" for the world's scholars, and has no mercy for those who are not scholars, the people are not living well, and many farmers in the world are selling themselves to the scholars' families in order to avoid taxes, preferring to be slaves, resulting in more and more serious land annexation.

The scholars are nostalgic for the Yuan Dynasty is getting lower and lower, and they are more and more recognized for this dynasty, but they are also more and more careful about their own interests.

At this time, although there was no Donglin Party, the interests of the Jiangnan civilian-official clique had become closer and closer, and there was already a bit of unity in some matters.

After knowing the general situation, Li Xiake already had some ideas: "Zhu Qizhen is not a good thing, I have to find a way to kill him when I go back, but not now, Cao Shaoqin is not a good thing, and he should be killed, but if he dies at this time, the courtiers have no checks and balances, and they will not succeed, Lao Tzu has long been unaccustomed to the monarchs and ministers of the Ming Dynasty, this time I have to play with my temperament, if I play badly, it is a big deal to go to Mongolia, kill the leader of the grassland, and let them mess up, if it is not bad, maybe it is impossible to establish a new force." Hehe, it's a little exciting to think about. ”

"But now I can't stay in the capital longer, I have to go to Longmen to save Qiu Moyan, and Cao Shaoqin, Qiu Moyan is dead, it's nothing, if Cao Shaoqin and several of his subordinates die, some things will be difficult to do!"
