The Tyrants Don't Deserve Their Loyal Ministers, and the Emperors Panic

Chongzhen is not a faint king, but a mediocre king. He is between a wise king and a faint king. He wanted to save the Ming Dynasty but was powerless and unable to save the Ming Dynasty. Even if Chongzhen did nothing, the Ming Dynasty would still perish in the end. It was just a delay in time. Chongzhen's cards were bad, but that didn't mean he couldn't play. It's a pity that he couldn't play.

1. Yue Fei wanted to regain his lost ground all his life. Yue Fei was born in the last year of the Northern Song Dynasty, AD **. After experiencing the Jingkang disaster, the Northern Song Dynasty perished. Therefore, Yue Fei was born in the Northern Song Dynasty, so the author gave him a dream of the Northern Song Dynasty. In his life, he wanted to die on the battlefield of the Northern Song Dynasty rather than at the hands of his own family in the Southern Song Dynasty. 2. Regarding Yuan Chonghuan, perhaps many people are too controversial about him, with mixed praise and criticism. Mao Wenlong was killed because Mao Wenlong deserved his crime. As for the situation in Dongjiang that later went out of control, it was already after Yuan Chonghuan was imprisoned and killed. The so-called bragging with Chongzhen to comfort him was a rumor fabricated by the Ming Dynasty survivors: Xu Yuqing gave Xu Yuqing a five-year strategy in the matter. Chonghuan said: "The Holy Heart is anxious and tired, so I can comfort my ears with this talk." Yuqing said: "It's wise to be wise, An Keman is right. I will perform my duties as scheduled in the future, what can I do?" Chonghuan felt lost. The Biography of Yuan Chonghuan in the History of the Ming Dynasty 1 If Yuan Chonghuan said something like "just chatting to comfort each other", it would obviously be deceiving the emperor. As an official, Xu Yuqing could impeach Yuan Chonghuan at that time. If Xu Yuqing does not impeach, other officials will inevitably impeach Yuan Chonghuan after he is imprisoned. Xu Yuqing knows and does not correct himself. He is a member of Yuan Chonghuan's party, especially Xu Yuqing is a member of the Donglin Party and a fellow countryman of Qian Longxi. He is Yuan Chonghuan's best friend and Qian Longxi's best friend. We must know that the officials of the Ming Dynasty dared to criticize even the emperor's faults. After Yuan was imprisoned, officials who had contact with Yuan Chonghuan were impeached, but Xu Yuqing was not impeached in the history books! 2 Censor Mao Yujian once asked Yuan Chonghuan whether he could restore the Liao Dynasty in five years. Yuan's answer showed that Yuan had a plan for the restoration of the Liao Dynasty in five years and was not deceiving the emperor with big words. "My husband has been in the Liao Dynasty since the second year of Tianqi, and has been fighting with the slaves for six years. He has already laid hands on the plan. How dare you, a familiar person, to bully the emperor by making unreasonable remarks?" Mao Yujian, a questioner of the "five-year restoration of the Liao Dynasty", was later beaten by Chongzhen, Ming Dynasty Archives Collection He became a party member of Yuan Chonghuan and reduced his status to serve the people. However, Xu Yuqing, who "knows what he knows and does not correct himself", not only had nothing to do, but also smoothly served as an official in the court and was promoted. This shows that "Liao comfort Shangyi" is a joke made up by later generations to discredit Yuan. The chief editor of Chongzhen recorded that after Yuan Chonghuan was killed in August of the third year of Chongzhen, Xu Yuqing was promoted to the rites department in October. In December, the imperial censor Mao Yujian's record was removed. This also shows that there is no dialogue between Yuan and Xu. If there is a dialogue between Yuan and Xu, how could the author of Zhenhai Chunqiu not know about it?

The emperor guards the gate of the country, and the king dies in the country. As he said, no one can get involved in that mess.

It's too one-sided, and it will be a mess when he takes over, and he has no one to teach him. If you think he did something wrong, it will be your fault in future generations. Bring back the feeling at that time. It's rotten to the core, and I can only move forward on my own. There's nothing I can do about it, it's more than enough than above...

It's so sad to judge an ancient man's merits and demerits in his life with just one mouthful! When evaluating a person's quality, should we only look at the bad points and not consider all aspects that are tailored to local conditions? Regardless of experts or history books, we have never really understood the ancients. This reminds me of the mythical "Yi Xiaochuan". Even if he really existed in history, he left a glorious scene, but in the end, didn't he disappear without a trace in the long river of history? History contains exaggerations, lies, and confusion of right and wrong. We should not blindly hate a person with a critical eye, but should correctly understand the role of historical figures in the long history.

Yue Fei is not considered a loyal minister. You can only say that he is patriotic but not loyal to his emperor.

If Song Renzong was all a coward, then there really would be no wise emperor. He can be said to be the most benevolent emperor in the history. You can search it on Baidu before writing about it. Emphasizing literature over military affairs is the national policy of the Song Dynasty, and it is not Song Renzong's fault. To say that he is a coward is too much.

I personally think it's a bit too much to say that Chongzhen was a foolish emperor. You can say he was a mediocre emperor, but he was not a foolish emperor. In the late Ming Dynasty, when Li Zicheng was inside and the Qing army entered the country, and there were natural disasters for many years, there were only ten emperors in history who could make a comeback. Count, all the ministers in that era were trying to make money for themselves, and no one implemented the emperor's orders. In other words, no one cared about it at all. Chongzhen himself had never learned any imperial skills before he came to the throne, and no one taught him after he came to the throne. He relied entirely on his own exploration. He is the kind of person who can't be forced to take the position in a hurry. In addition, the general he entrusted with important tasks has died, and none of the generals sent out can come back alive. Most of them were tricked to death by his pig teammates. There have been internal and external troubles and natural disasters for many years. Even though I can reuse myself and have no great talent, Chongzhen has done a good job for seventeen years. I can only say that he has no talent. If he encountered that kind of unsolvable situation, he was born in the wrong era. If he was born in a prosperous era, I feel that he will be a wise king.

He tried his best and used all the people Zhuge Liang left. He was really obedient. I never expected that the other party could survive so well, but the ministers under his command were so short-lived.

Yuan Chonghuan killed Mao Wenlong, leaving Huang Taiji with no opponent and easily surrounded Nanjing. It can be said that Yuan was the great sinner in the late Ming Dynasty. Chongzhen is not considered faint. It can only be said that he did not receive the orthodox emperor's education and believed too much in Confucianism.
