Wei Zhongxian was also a high-ranking and powerful person in the Ming Dynasty, but why did he have no way in front of Chongzhen? What is the reason for this? Wei Zhongxian was highly powerful, powerful, and an important figure with a head and a face in the imperial court, even the emperor at that time had to give in three points when he saw him, and the old officials in the imperial court at that time also respected him, and his power was still quite large, so many people were very jealous of him, but why was he afraid of a little emperor who had just taken office at the age of seventeen? Is there something wrong with which we don't understand?
First, under the imperial autocracy system of the Ming Dynasty, for any Ming emperor with normal intellectual ability, it should not be difficult to bring down a "nine-thousand-year-old" like Wei Zhongxian.
Because although Wei Zhongxian is almost doing the emperor's business, but the person who really sits on real power is indeed the emperor, Chongzhen is the person who really has strength, no matter how powerful the hundred officials of the imperial court are, but the emperor is the emperor after all, the world is the emperor's world, not your Wei Zhongxian's world, of course, Chongzhen wants to trip up a Wei Zhongxian, it is still very easy. After all, Wei Zhongxian still had power, but in front of the emperor, he still had no way, his careful thinking people Chongzhen was still clear, even if Chongzhen, who was only seventeen years old, still saw through Wei Zhongxian's careful thinking, of course, he would not give him a chance.
Second, although he was added to "nine thousand years old", "birth shrines" were all over Daming, and he was almost praised by the "elites of the Ming Dynasty" into the Confucius Temple to "enter the holy". But his real role has always been just a loyal follower of the Emperor of the Apocalypse.
Therefore, when Yang Lian impeached him for his great crime, he would be frightened and cry in front of the Emperor of the Apocalypse to show his loyalty. In this way, he is only flaunting his might in front of other people, and in front of the emperor, he has become a loyal subject in front of everyone,That is just what he does in front of the emperor, he is always doing things under the banner of the emperor, these Chongzhen all know, but do not know that he is the kind of two-faced person, Chongzhen knows but also gives him face, but face this kind of thing, others will not always give you, you do too much, others do not want to continue to give you face, Chongzhen finally for this kind of person is also intolerable.
In summary, all of Wei Zhongxian's proud prestige was not because of how strong he was, but because of his "good platform"—the favor of the Emperor of the Apocalypse. Even if one of his broken deeds angered the Emperor of the Apocalypse, all the power and wealth would melt like an iceberg in the blink of an eye.
Of course, the emperor does not want to continue to endure this kind of person, after all, when the emperor is still Chongzhen, not him Wei Zhongxian, don't feel how favored he is around the emperor one day, that is, he likes to talk outside, and doing things is the same, but everyone can't look at it, so of course, one day someone will clean up after her, Chongzhen is the one who cleaned him up, and he can't be allowed to continue like this.
