Ming Dynasty: My Grandson Opened the Double Door for Emperor Hongwu

What's the point of this, Zhang Wuji? Forget it if the update is slow, don't dig a hole too big that you won't be able to bury it by then

The eunuch who killed two kings, one concubine, and four prime ministers, established an emperor, and still died well, Wei Zhongxian is not as good as New News 04-09 13:35:00 There have been three dynasties with exclusive power of eunuchs in our country - Eastern Han, Tang, and Ming. The eunuchs of these three dynasties came to power with different backgrounds, but they were all essentially swords in the hands of the emperor. However, the Eastern Han and Ming Dynasties used this sword very well, but the Tang Dynasty was almost injured by the sword. The eunuchs in the late Eastern Han Dynasty held a certain amount of military power in order to deal with local military groups. Emperor Ling's Eighth School Lieutenant of Xiyuan was in the hands of the eunuch Jian Shuo. During the peak period of eunuchs in the Eastern Han Dynasty, when the Second Emperor Huan Ling was alive, two disasters caused by party imprisonment brought many civil servants to death. Part of the reason for the chaos in the late Eastern Han Dynasty was that the eunuchs were eliminated in advance. The eunuchs are the die-hard supporters of the emperor. Only when the emperor is in power can the eunuchs live well, so they will definitely try to make the new emperor secure the throne. Unexpectedly, Yuan Shao punched the eunuch to death. The emperor had no support and could only become a puppet of Dong Zhuo, Cao Cao and other military groups. Of course, even if the eunuch defeats Yuan Shao, it will only delay a little time, and troubled times will eventually come - local separatism has become a reality. If you want to solve the fundamental problem, time, location, and people are indispensable. The eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty were completely slaves to the emperor. The emperor used them to fight against the bureaucracy. The power of the eunuchs could be taken back by the emperor with just one word. Even though he was as powerful as Wei Zhongxian, Chongzhen didn't waste any thought and got rid of him easily. Although the Tang Dynasty was between the Han and Ming Dynasties, the eunuchs of the Tang Dynasty can be regarded as a mixture of the two dynasties, having both military power and domestic slaves. The eunuchs in the Tang Dynasty had great power, but they still relied on the emperor's power behind them. Let's talk about the eunuchs in the Tang Dynasty based on the life of the great eunuch Qiu Shiliang. But before talking about Qiu Shiliang, we must first clarify the order of emperors in the Tang Dynasty - Tang Shunzong, Tang Xianzong, Tang Muzong, Tang Jingzong, Tang Wenzong, Tang Wuzong. Qiu Shiliang was the eunuch serving Li Chun, the prince of Tang Shunzong. Tang Shunzong became a vegetative state due to illness. Li Chun used the eunuch Ju Wenzhen to intimidate Tang Shunzong to surrender to Li Chun. Finally, Li Chun successfully ascended the throne as Emperor Xianzong of Tang Dynasty. The eunuch Ju Wenzhen seemed to have dethroned the emperor, but it was mainly because the prince Li Chun was behind the scenes and Ju Wenzhen was just doing the "dirty work". Li Chun got the benefits without losing his reputation. This was a clever method. During the reign of Emperor Xianzong of the Tang Dynasty, power had always been in the hands of Li Chun. Ju Wenzhen could not afford to cause trouble. If he could really depose and establish the emperor, shouldn't Li Chun of the Emperor Xianzong of the Tang Dynasty be a puppet? In order to support his own power, Emperor Xianzong of the Tang Dynasty, the eunuchs in his prince's palace would naturally enjoy more power. At this time, Qiu Shiliang stepped towards the peak of power. Tang Xianzong had been emperor for 15 years, but he never saw eunuchs causing trouble. After his death, his son Li Heng came to the throne as Mu Zong. Mu Zong and his son Jingzong were both fatuous emperors who were greedy for pleasure, and it was in their hands that the power of the eunuchs expanded. Li Keming, the eunuch of Jingzong Dynasty, and Wang Shoucheng, the eunuch who was favored by Jingzong, had conflicts. They were in a life-and-death hostile relationship. Li Keming wanted to save his life, so he had no choice but to establish another emperor. Because if he wants to take power, he must have the support of the emperor. Even if Li Keming kills Wang Shoucheng, he will not gain the trust and importance of Jingzong, and he will end up dead. Wang Shoucheng had no choice but to survive and found an opportunity to assassinate Jingzong. However, he himself was also killed by Wang Shoucheng who came later. Li Keming was able to kill Jingzong because he took advantage of Jingzong's negligence, which was a kind of assassination. If Li Keming is really powerful, Wang Shoucheng cannot easily get rid of him. Jingzong was only 18 years old when he died, and all the disciples were young. Wang Shoucheng supported his second brother Li Ang to ascend the throne as Emperor Wenzong of Tang Dynasty. Eunuchs held power differently from their relatives. The relatives could take advantage of the young emperor because the relatives themselves could participate in government affairs, but the eunuchs had to use the adult emperor because they relied on the authority of the emperor, and only the adult emperor could establish the supreme authority of the emperor. Tang Wenzong didn't want to see Wang Shoucheng's family dominate, so he supported Qiu Shiliang. Tang Wenzong's behavior was to drink poison to quench his thirst, destroying one powerful official and supporting another, but he never broke the vicious cycle. Tang Wenzong first managed to seize Wang Shoucheng's military power and handed over the power of the Shence Army to Qiu Shiliang. Wang Shoucheng was poisoned and died at home shortly after he was seized of power. Seeing Wang Shoucheng's fate, Qiu Shiliang became more cautious, fearing that he would make the same mistake again. It was Wang Shoucheng's death that made Qiu Shiliang's methods even more ruthless. Wenzong, Li Xun, and Zheng Zhu wanted to get rid of Qiu Shiliang, and they originally agreed to do it outside the imperial city, where Qiu Shiliang had the least power. However, Li Xun wanted to monopolize the great achievements and took action in the imperial city without authorization. Li Xun lured Qiu Shiliang out in the name of watching "manna", hoping to take the opportunity to arrest and kill him. Unexpectedly, Qiu Shiliang discovered the clue and retreated without entering the ambush. More importantly, the eunuch snatched the emperor into his own hands. Qiu Shiliang had a brilliant plan for the army, captured the emperor, and easily suppressed the "rebellion". This was the famous Manna Incident. Afterwards, he massacred the ministers and eliminated all hidden dangers, killing four prime ministers (Li Xun, Wang Ya, Jia Kui, Shu Yuanyu) in one go. Five years after the Ganlu Incident, Tang Wenzong died of illness. Qiu Shiliang chose Ying Wang Li Yan as the emperor, and changed the title of the former prince Li Chengmei (Jingzong's son) to Chen Wang. Qiu Shiliang's purpose is to establish support. The prince is the legal heir of the emperor. His accession to the throne is a matter of course and he will not be grateful to the eunuchs. But it is different for a king who has no chance to inherit the throne. He became the emperor by accident, and he has no power as a prince, so he can only continue to reuse eunuchs such as Qiu Shiliang. Wenzong's favorite concubine Yang Xianfei, while Wenzong was still alive, wanted to establish King An Li Rong (the younger brother of Wenzong and Li Yan) as the crown prince (the same purpose as Qiu Shiliang and other eunuchs), but Wenzong did not agree. After Li Yan ascended the throne, he served as Emperor Wuzong. In order to eliminate future troubles, he used Qiu Shiliang's hands to kill Concubine Yang Xian, King Chen Li Chengmei, and King An Li Rong. Qiu Shiliang killed two kings, one concubine, and four prime ministers in his life, deposed the former emperor and prince, and established another emperor Li Yan. Even Wei Zhongxian, who was said to be nine thousand years old, could not compare. Wei Zhongxian had never done these things. Later, even if Qiu Shiliang was forced to retire by Wu Zong, he ended up with a good death. This is what makes Qiu Shiliang more powerful than other eunuchs. Qiu Shiliang was in power for more than 20 years during his lifetime. He was named Duke of Chu and was awarded the title of Governor of Yangzhou after his death. A eunuch who achieved such a situation can be regarded as a winner in life.

The substitution of history into martial arts is really disappointing. Who wrote the novel Zhang Wuji? . . Boring
