Chongzhen of the Great Ming: Your Majesty, Stop While You Can!

Killing Wei Zhongxian as soon as he came up was completely mindless and did not consider the actual situation. Wei Zhongxian is easy to kill, but what happens after the killing? The eunuchs control the government and have become a system. If they make any move, everyone will be in danger. They will break the pot and break it, and the consequences will be far more serious than imagined. The main character's IQ is online, which is quite a brain-consuming novel! I'm okay, I can accept it!

The Ming Dynasty died due to lack of money, due to land annexation, and due to the system. Land annexation was carried out by two major groups. The clan-honored group ate up an unknown amount of land in 270 years, and the scholar-bureaucrat group ate up an unknown amount of land in 270 years. How many yeoman farmers were left in Chongzhen? If you want money from outside the border, if you want money from natural disasters, you can only raise taxes. If you want to make money, you have to go to the two major groups.

Reopening this thread because the discussion in the previous thread was too confusing! No matter whether the politics of the Ming Dynasty is compared with that of today, the underlying logic is actually the same! We assume that we are a mid-level official of the eunuch party in the late Ming Dynasty! The leader of the eunuch party is Wei Zhongxian, and the core is senior officials from the Sixth Ministry. Now that the new emperor has ascended the throne, he killed Wei Zhongxian immediately. What would you think? The emperor is going to liquidate the Eunuch Party. As a member of the Eunuch Party, I cannot take off this label. The people in Donglin have a life-or-death relationship with the eunuchs, and they will not let go of this opportunity. So I will worry, be afraid, become cautious in my words and actions, and observe the actions of the eunuch bosses. We are grasshoppers on a rope. What about the core of the eunuch party? They control six senior officials. For Wei Zhongxian, the emperor wants to kill them? Whatever is the best outcome? The label of eunuch will always be a reason to kill, and political opponents will bite them to death like dogs. If officials from the central government can arrest and deal with them in time, what about those generals in border towns who have defected to the eunuchs? The emperor issued an edict saying that he would be pardoned and no one would be found guilty. Do you think they believed it or not? Suppose you are a general in Xuanda. Because Shanxi merchants were smuggling and smuggling, you paid a protection fee, and a large part of it was taken away by the eunuchs. You are full after drinking soup. Now that your emperor has killed Wei Zhongxian, are you afraid? Do you want to run away? When a new boss is sent by the imperial court, do you guys want to unite and resist? Or leave it to fate? Going back to Wei Zhongxian, does he want Emperor Tianqi to die or live? It can be said that Wei Zhongxian should be the person who wants Emperor Tianqi to live the most. The power of the eunuch is the trust of the imperial power. The eunuch can influence the emperor's decision, so the eunuch has the ability to influence the government, and the people below will listen to him. Chongzhen has ascended the throne. Wei Zhongxian will not kill Chongzhen unless he does not want to live. What Wei Zhongxian wants is that Chongzhen trusts him just like Tianqi. Under this premise, why do you want to kill Wei Zhongxian? What are the benefits of killing Wei Zhongxian? Let people from Donglin replace the eunuchs? Essentially, there is no difference between Donglin and the eunuchs. Then, Chongzhen's smartest approach is to use Donglin's opposition to restrain the eunuchs, and create a sharp sword that hangs over the eunuchs' heads at all times, so that the eunuchs cannot act arrogantly. As for Wei Zhongxian's handling, the emperor just said a word. Either kill him directly and quickly support a new speaker of the eunuch party, but there will be sequelae. People under the eunuch party will always have psychological shadows and are always under attack from political opponents. The smart thing to do is not to kill Wei Zhongxian, but to use imperial power to restrict Wei Zhongxian. He will not get the blessing of imperial power, and without Chongzhen's trust, the people below will not buy his account. How to achieve this? There is no need to suppress the eunuchs, just enable one or two people from Donglin to enter the center, and Chongzhen can watch the show. This is called creating an internal crisis within the eunuch party. There are two results. First, the speaker will be re-selected within the eunuch party, so that Wei Zhongxian himself will be gone. Second, in order to maintain his position, Wei Zhongxian must sell well to Chongzhen and do things for Chongzhen in exchange for Chongzhen's trust. The emperor is a referee, not a judge himself. Whenever he uses imperial power to push something forward, the power of imperial power will be reduced by one layer. Therefore, after Chongzhen ascended the throne, it was unwise to kill Wei Zhongxian immediately. Taking Wei Zhongxian for his own use was the best policy. Killing Wei Zhongxian to support the eunuch party Xinhua Shirenren was the middle policy. Killing Wei Zhongxian and letting Donglin take charge of the central government was the worst policy.

It's pretty🙂

It's well written, but too short.

Ah ah ah, I am so used to fattening up and then looking at the results that I am fattening up to death. QAQ The author is one of the few who insists on using logic in writing.

Hey, now, I hope everyone can comment more and give some encouragement. It would be better if you can vote!

It turns out to be a new book by a big guy. No wonder he has such powerful writing skills.

I watched it twice before I could understand the intrigues of the characters. The plot design is quite advanced but complicated. Many people may not understand the game here. Hahaha, it's a web article, it's a bit shallow, but I prefer this kind of Machiavellian article.

I'll collect it now and come back later when the number of words increases.
