The Ming Dynasty scholar-doctor's intention to do things is one of the causes of the donglin party's misfortune, and the Ming Dynasty's scholars and doctors like to use things with spirit. The measures of the monarch and the prime minister were supervised and criticized too harshly, and there was no leniency at all

The Ming Dynasty scholar's arrogance was the cause of the Donglin Party's misfortune

First, the scholars and doctors of the Ming Dynasty liked to be arrogant. The measures of the monarch and the prime minister were supervised and criticized too harshly, and there was no leniency at all. Whenever something major happened in the imperial court, it could not be considered at its discretion and gently exhorted, but could not be moved to call on friends to introduce categories, blatantly, and noisily argue. Show the fault of the monarch and show his integrity. To make the monarch angry and ashamed, there is no room for maneuver, in order to gain his own reputation, and it is of no benefit to the affairs of the state. For example, the issue of the joint burial of Empress Xiaozhuang during the time of Emperor Xianzong; the great ceremonial discussion during the time of Emperor Sejong; and the problem of Zhang Juzheng's seizure of affection during the time of Emperor Shenzong were particularly serious.

Second, when expressing their own views, they are harsh and harsh, provoking incidents when they encounter things, speculating too far-reaching, and if they want to add crimes to anyone, they will live in crimes that exceed those that the other party deserves. Zhang Cha was originally just an arrogant man who sneaked into Dongguan with a wooden stick. However, many ministers must charge Concubine Zheng Guifei with command. Li Kezhuo was originally just a quack doctor, who killed the emperor by mistake. However, many ministers must charge the university scholar Fang Congzhe with rebellion. Li Xuanshi was originally just a woman and Taoist family, and it was also a common sentiment of people to be attached to the Qianqing Palace, live habitually, and not willing to relocate. However, Yang Lian accused her of only wanting her to serve the emperor alone and exclude other elected servants. After moving to the palace, Jia Jichun again threatened Li Xuanshi to frame the emperor by hanging himself; he also insisted on involving the matter of the palace ban, catching the wind and catching shadows, and arguing so much that it could not be ended for more than a year.

Third, the accumulation of these vices has been passed down, almost becoming a chronic disease, and in the future generations, they will eventually cause bad things because of this. Wei Zhongxian was originally just a rogue in the city, and did not have the insidious talents of Cao Cao, Wang Mang, and others, and the sinister wisdom of Li Linfu, Yuan Zai, Qin Ju, Yan Song, and others, but many ministers could not help him in advance, and could even use extraordinary means to kill him to quell the internal disasters of the imperial court, but instead shook their lips and tongues, dragged their pens and ink, and blatantly fought with him. Emperor Xizong was originally just a child, growing up in the inner courtyard of the deep officials, raised by eunuchs and concubines, and before he ascended the throne, he did not receive the education he deserved, so how could he know right from wrong after he took the throne? It doesn't make any sense to the cow to play the piano, to the stone.

Fourth, the result was that the emperor's recital of the chancellor was not negotiable, and everything was entrusted to Wei Zhongxian. Therefore, Wei Zhongxian fabricated charges and arrested all the sages, and the arrestees were killed one by one, just like slaughtering pigs and sheep. When all the righteous people are gone, the country will fall. For Mr. Bagu, who was trained by Cheng Zhu Daoxue in the narrow sense, there was really no way to tell the letter how to be flexible and flexible.
