Emperor Xuanzong of Ming reigned for ten years and quelled the rebellion of Zhu Gaoxu, the King of Han. During his reign, he knew that people were well used, and the cabinet ministers included Yang Shiqi, Yang Rong, Yang Pu and other "three Yangs", as well as Xia Yuanji and Jian Yi, who were assisted by good ministers. Attention should be paid to rectifying the atmosphere in the official arena and to curbing the trend of corruption. Rest with the people, attach importance to agricultural development, economic development, tax reduction and reduction, and national peace and security. With his father, Emperor Akihito, Zhu Gaozi, created a prosperous era comparable to the rule of Wenjing, known in history as the rule of Renxuan.
However, no one is perfect, not to mention the emperor of the Nine-Five-Year-Old, Zhu Zhanji has a special habit, that is, he likes to fight cockroaches. As an ordinary person, you fight a cockroach, which will not affect the development of the country. But as soon as the emperor likes to fight cockroaches, he is in trouble. It is best for the emperor to have no hobbies and only focus on the affairs of the country, then the country will develop in a good direction. At that time, many people in the DPRK who liked to pat themselves on the back of the horse's ass did what they liked, and collected countless clams from the people to pay tribute to Zhu Zhanji.
At that time, Zhu Zhanji liked to fight to what extent, ye Shi > recorded such a thing. Emperor Xuanzong liked to fight cockroaches and asked Jiangnan for the best quality of the clams. At that time, there was a grain chief in Fengqiao, Wu County, Jiangsu Province, who received the official document from the county sheriff and spent a lot of time and energy looking for the best clam for the emperor. Finally, in a market, he found a very good quality cockroach, and in order to get him, he exchanged the horse he rode for it, which shows how precious this cockroach is.
Then he put the clams in a jar and went to report to his superiors. He put the cockroach in the house, and the lady of the grain chief was more curious, and his husband exchanged a horse for a cockroach. What is so special about this cockroach, I'll take a look at it, and I'll open the jar and see. Unexpectedly, as soon as the lid was lifted, the cockroach jumped out, and the chicken raised by them ate him. As a result, the grain chief's wife was frightened, and she exchanged a horse for a cockroach, so that I could lose it. I was so sorry that I was so sorry that I hanged myself, and when the grain chief came back, she saw that the clams were eaten, and her wife died. The cockroach was gone, unable to communicate with his superiors, and he hanged himself. Therefore, those who have the number on the top will be very bad, causing the tragedy of the grain chief.
There is also a "Promotion of Weaving" written in Pu Songling's "Liaozhai" to satirize Zhu Zhanji's fight against the clams, telling that there was a county official in Huayin County who offered a cockroach to his superiors, and this clam was brave and good at fighting, and as a result, the boss often ordered the county officials to provide him. The county officials were sent down one by one, and they were apportioned to the townships. There was a man named Chengming who was assigned the work of Rizheng by the cunning official. If he can't pay the cockroach, he has to use money to compensate, he almost lost the family's money, and this year he will levy the cockroach again. There was no way but to look for the cockroach by himself, and then he went to the gods, found a strong cockroach under the guidance of the gods, became famous and took him home, and took good care of the cockroach very thoughtfully.
Fame had a son, and when he saw that his father was not at home, he opened it curiously, and as a result, the cockroach jumped out, and when he was caught, the cockroach was dying, and soon died. The famous son was frightened and ran out, and later fame found his son's body in the well. Ready to bury but found a trace of breath, they took home to take care of it, in the dawn heard the clams, went to find this cockroach, and finally caught but this cockroach is relatively thin, but finally can make a difference. There was an eventful man in the village, he had a cockroach, and he had never lost a fight with others. Later, he found Fame and said that he wanted to fight with his cockroach, and as a result, the man's cockroach was bitten to death by the famous cockroach, and the fame was shocked.
Fame offered the cockroach to the county magistrate, who questioned the famous moth, but Fame said he was very aggressive. The county magistrate tried to fight with his cockroach, but it turned out to be only a high-quality cockroach, and the county magistrate offered the cockroach to the inspector. The inspector also dedicated it to the emperor, and in the palace, this clam defeated all the tribute clams, and the emperor rewarded the inspector, and the inspector rewarded the county order. The county commander-in-chief ordered the examiner to let the fame win the show talent, and the inspector also rewarded the fame, and the fame became a rich man, and his son also woke up. Hence the fame of the cockroach.
The above example shows that the atmosphere of fighting clams is more prevalent, and the emperor cannot fight the cockroaches alone, and the eunuchs around the emperor accompany the emperor to play. At that time, in the palace, eunuchs fighting cockroaches abounded, and eunuchs first competed with each other, and then fought with the emperor with the cockroaches that had won the battle. At that time, the civil officials were very dissatisfied, and the emperor should have approved the recital and handled the major affairs of the state. The chapter is first sent to the Cabinet, and the members of the Cabinet of University Scholars vote to give a preliminary opinion. After that, it was handed over to the emperor for approval, and the emperor agreed with the opinions given by the cabinet members, or had his own opinions to give an answer, which was called approval red.
Now the emperor did not have time to approve the red, the officials began to write to the emperor, and the emperor felt that he could not fail to approve the red. However, The Emperor looked for someone to approve the red instead of himself, and the emperor then took a fancy to the eunuchs around him, and only when they approved the red for me could they rest assured. Originally, when the eunuchs were founded in the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang guarded against eunuchs, and there were eunuchs in the Yuan Dynasty who rebelled, so Zhu Yuanzhang set up a three-foot iron plate in the palace for internal ministers not to interfere in political affairs, and those who dared to interfere in political affairs were beheaded. Eunuchs could not interfere in political affairs, and even eunuchs could not read and write.
Later, Emperor Xuanzong of Ming set up an inner study room to teach eunuchs to read and write, breaking the ancestral precepts of Taizu. Originally, after the vigorous cultivation of Ming Chengzu, the eunuch mastered the East Factory, which was backed by the violence of the imperial court and integrated surveillance, arrest, and justice. The power is very large, and now that the eunuchs are studying, the eunuchs are combining civil and military power, and for a while the power is tilted towards the opposition. But power is, in a sense, a double-edged sword, and the eunuchs who have tasted the benefits are already desperate.
Therefore, since Emperor Xuanzong, the Ming Empire has continuously staged the picture of eunuchs gaining power, resulting in a situation of infighting in the Ming Empire.
