Wei Zhongxian was poor when he was young, mixed in the streets, illiterate, but he knew how to shoot archery and ride horses, liked to gamble, obsessed with wine, Wei Zhongxian often gambled with a group of evil teenagers, once, he felt very distressed after gambling and lost, he hated and called himself in the palace, changed his name to Li Jinzhong, because he was familiar with the eunuchs in the palace, rumors were rumored to be not pure, there was still a testicle. Later, he changed his original surname back to Wei Zhongxian and was given the name Wei Zhongxian by the emperor. Wei Zhongxian was elected to the palace during the Wanli Dynasty, subordinate to the eunuch Sun Xian and entered the Jia Zi Library by means of a trick. He also asked to be the mother of the emperor's eldest grandson, Wang Cairen, and joined the Wei Dynasty. The Wei Dynasty praised Wei Zhongxian to Wang An many times, and Wang An treated him kindly. The eldest grandson's nursing mother was called Keshi, who had always served Wei Chao privately, which was the so-called food relationship, and after Wei Zhongxian entered the palace, Keshi colluded with him again, and Keshi then coldly met Wei Chao and loved Wei Zhongxian, and the two formed a deep relationship.

In the first year of Taichang (1621 AD), Emperor Mingguangzong Zhu Changluo died, and Zhu Youxiao took the throne as Emperor Xizong, with the era name of Heavenly Revelation. Wei Zhongxian and Keshi were not favored. Within a month, Feng Ke was made Lady Fengsheng, and her son Hou Guoxing, younger brother Ke Guangxian, and Wei Zhongxian's older brother Wei Zhao were made Jinyi Wei Qianhu. Wei Zhongxian was soon promoted from The Salary Division to the position of Eunuch bingbi and viceroy of Baohe Sandian (三店). Wei Zhongxian was illiterate and was not allowed to enter the ceremonial supervisor as a rule, but because of keshi, he was able to make an exception.
In the first year of the Apocalypse (1621), Zhu was given the Keshi Incense Field by edict and given Wei Zhongxian the merit of governing the tomb of the emperor. Yushi Wang Xinyi advised, but Zhu Yu did not listen. When Zhu You's big wedding, Yushi Bizuo zhou and Liu Lan asked to send keshi out of the palace, and the university scholar Liu Yihuojing also said so. Zhu Yu was in love with the school and said: "The empress is young and still needs the care of the old woman, and will talk about it after the emperor's burial." "Wei Zhongxian monopolized the Ke clan and expelled the Wei Dynasty. He was also jealous of Wang An's presiding over the right path, and plotted to kill him and repudiate all the eunuchs under his name. Keshi is vicious and vicious. Wei Zhongxian did not know the book, but he had a good memory, sexual suspicion was cruel and vicious, and he was flattered. The Emperor trusted these two men very much. The power of the two men was even more arrogant, and they used the Si Li Supervisor Wang Tiqian and Li Yongzhen, Shi Yuanya, Tu Wenfu and others as wings, and the people in the palace did not dare to rebel against them. Later, Keshi left the palace, but was soon called in. Yushi Zhou Zongjian, the attendant Chen Bangzhan, Yushi Ma Mingqi, and Hou Zhen in the matter were all reprimanded. In the event, Ni Sihui, Zhu Qinxiang, and Wang Xinyi also spoke to Zhu Youxiao, but they were all relegated to other places. None of them had pointed at Wei Zhongxian yet. Wei Zhongxian then persuaded Zhu Youxue to choose a martial eunuch to make firearms to practice in the palace, and secretly colluded with the university scholar Shen Yi to help. He also guided Zhu Youxiao every day to indulge in the promotion of you voice tricks and dog and horse shooting, and Liu Zongzhou, the chief of the Punishment Department, first impeached him, Zhu Youxiao was furious, and Lai University Scholar Ye Xiangxiang rescued gao, and was spared.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="6" > Wei Zhongxian specializes in government</h1>
At the beginning, Emperor Mingshen Zhu Yijun had been in power for a long time, and he was tired of political affairs, and he did not approve many chapters. The courtiers gradually established portals, and they used the extreme and astonishing remarks as a fashion to use the dispute over the capital of the country to rebuke the palace ban. Ministers were impeached and attacked by officials and were often forced to retire from illness. Gu Xiancheng, the official Shangshu, lectured at Donglin Academy, and Dr. Hai Neishi followed him. The name "Donglin" began from this. Later, the three cases of "sacking", "red pill" and "moving the palace" occurred, and the entire imperial court seemed to be fighting a lawsuit. When confronted by the Donglin Party, the crowd regarded him as an evil party. In the early years of the apocalypse, almost all the ministers were dismissed and dismissed, and people of insight were already worried that if they were too radical, chaos would occur. After Wei Zhongxian's forces were formed, his party members really tried to rely on him to exclude the Donglin Party. Xu Dahua, Huo Weihua, and Sun Jie first attached themselves to Wei Zhongxian, and Liu Yihuojing and Shangshu Zhou Jiamu were all impeached by Sun Jie and left. However, at that time, Ye Xianggao and Han Huoguang were assisting the government, Zou Yuanbiao, Zhao Nanxing, Wang Ji, Gao Panlong and other officials were in high positions, Zuo Guangdou, Wei Dazhong, Huang Zunsu and others were talking about the road, and they all went all out to preside over the Qing discussion, and Wei Zhongxian failed to succeed.
In the second year of the Apocalypse (1622), Zhu Youxue commented on the Qingling Gong, and Yin Feng Wei Zhongxian's nephew commanded the Jinyi Wei. Commenting on Shen Yi's communication with Wei Zhongxian and Keshi to Hui Shiyang and Shang Shu Wang Ji, both were demoted. It was just in the early summer when hail fell, and Zhou Zongjian said that the hail was not in season, which was caused by Wei Zhongxian's rumors and evil. Xiu Shuwen Zhenmeng and Taibu Temple Shaoqing Manchu Chaozhuan also said this one after another, and they were all deposed.
In the spring of the third year of the Apocalypse (1623), Wei Zhongxian introduced his private Wei Guangwei as a university scholar. Ling Yushi Guo Gong attacked Zhou Zongjian, Liu Yihuojing, Zou Yuanbiao, Yang Lian, Zhou Chaorui, and others to protect Xiong Tingbi, saying that they were protecting the traitors and evil people and had misled the country. Zhou Zongjian retorted that Guo Gong had been instructed by Wei Zhongxian, and Yushi Fang Da ren also assisted Zong Jian in attacking Guo Gong and Wei Zhongxian, but neither won. In the autumn of that year, Zhu Yu ordered Wei Zhongxian and Ke's son Hou Guoxing to grant hereditary inheritance. The Bingbu Shangshu Dong Hanru, the Zhongcheng Notes, and the Imperial History Wang Si Theory all advised each other, but Zhu Yu did not follow. Wei Zhongxian was even more unscrupulous, increasing the internal exercise army to 10,000 people, wearing armor and entering the palace, and arbitrarily abusing him. He falsely preached the Holy Will and put Zhu Changluo's chosen servant Zhao Shi to death. YuFei Zhang was pregnant, and Keshi plotted to kill her. He also removed the title of Concubine Li. Empress Zhang was pregnant, and Keshi shiji had her an abortion. Zhu Yu school therefore lacked heirs. Other victims were Concubine Feng Guiren and other concubines, as well as eunuchs such as Wang Guochen, Liu Kejing, ma Jian, and others. The secret of the Forbidden Palace cannot be fully understood. In the winter of that year, Wei Zhongxian also led the affairs of the East Factory.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="10" > Wei Zhongxian Donglin Party Dispute</h1>
In the fourth year of the Apocalypse (1624), Fu Mukui befriended Wei Zhongxian's nephew Fu Yingxing as a brother, wrote a false accusation against Zhongshu Wang Wenyan, and connected with Zuo Guangdou and Wei Dazhong. Wang Wenyan was thrown into Zhenfusi Prison and was charged with being charged with the crime. Liu Qiao, who was in charge of the Zhenfu Division, was taught by Ye Xianggao not to convict Wang Wenyan. Wei Zhongxian was furious and removed Liu Qiao from his post and replaced him with a private person, Xu Xianchun. At this time, Yushi Li Yingsheng gave advice on the matter of internal affairs, and gave advice to Huo Shoudian because Wei Zhongxian begged for a plaque in the ancestral hall, and Yushi Liu Tingzuo used Wei Zhongxian's indiscriminate sealing of yin to enter the advice, and gave Shen Weibing a shackle to enter the consultation, and Wei Zhongxian falsely preached the holy will to reprimand him. Therefore, the deputy capital Yushi Yang lian was very angry and impeached Wei Zhongxian for twenty-four major crimes. After The Song Shu submitted the petition, Wei Zhongxian was frightened and asked Han Huoguang for mediation. Han Huoguang did not agree, so he ran to Zhu Youxue and cried, and resigned from his position in the East Factory. Keshi explained to him from the side, and Wang Tiqian and others also protected him. Zhu Yu did not know the truth, so he comforted him with a gentle word, and the next day he beat back Yang Lian's performance and reprimanded him bitterly. Yang Lian was reprimanded, and more than seventy people, including Wei Dazhong and Chen Liangxun and Xu Yuqing, Zhu Guobi the Marquis of Funing, Chen Daoheng, Shangshu of the Nanjing Army, and Yue Yuansheng, the attendant, all went to wei Zhongxian's illegal deeds. Ye Xianggao and the Rebbe Shangshu Weng Zhengchun asked wei Zhongxian to be sent back to his private residence to quell public accusations. Zhu Yu did not allow it.
At that time, Wei Zhongxian was very angry and wanted to kill all the dissidents. Gu Bingqian secretly recorded the people that Wei Zhongxian hated and handed them to him, asking him to disparage them one by one. Wang Tiqian also proposed to use the court staff to threaten the court. Soon, Gongbu Langzhong wrote a letter accusing Wei Zhongxian of being killed immediately. Wei Zhongxian also insulted Ye Xianggao by means of Yushi Lin Ruyi's affair, and Ye Xianggao resigned, and Lin Ruyi was also beaten with a staff, and the courtiers were terrified. For a time, zhao nanxing, the official Shangshu, Zuo Du Yushi Gao Panlong, the official Attendant Chen Yuting, and Dozens of people before and after Yang Lian, Zuo Guangdou, and Wei Dazhong were dismissed. Later, he expelled Han Huoguang and Li Banghua, a military attendant. The righteous man left the court like shaking the leaves of a dead tree. Wei Zhongxian then falsely preached the Holy Will and used the old practice to transfer to the Daoist officials. With Zhu Tongmeng and Guo Yunhou as the servants of Shaoqing, Lü Pengyun and Sun Jie as the Dali Temple servants, Huo Weihua and Guo Xingzhi as the rehabilitated, Xu Jinglian, Jia Jichun, and Yang Weiyuan as the imperial history, and Xu Zhaokui, Wang Shaohui, Qiao Yingjia, Xu Shaoji, Ruan Dacheng, Chen Eryi, Zhang Yangsu, Li Yingxian, Li Song, Yang Chunmao, and others as his minions. Soon after, he used Choi Chengxiu, who was to be sent to be dismissed, as Imperial History. Cui Chengxiu then fabricated the "Records of Heavenly Classics" and "Records of Comrades", and Wang Shaohui also made up the "Records of Point Generals", all of which were headed by Zou Yuanbiao, Gu Xiancheng, Ye Xianggao, Liu Yihuojing, etc., and all the people who were not attached to Wei Zhongxian were included, and they were pointed out as Donglin Party members and dedicated to Wei Zhongxian, Wei Zhongxian was very happy, so these villains even flattered Wei Zhongxian and attacked the Donglin Party with their hands.
At first, when the courtiers were arguing about the three cases and the cases of Jingcha and Xiong Tingbi in the two years of Xinhai and Yanhai, Wei Zhongxian did not participate in the case. His party members wanted to use Wei Zhongxian's power to exclude those upright people, so they successively submitted to Wei Zhongxian, claimed to be righteous sons, and said: "The Donglin Party will harm your old man." Therefore, Wei Zhongxian also wanted to be happy with himself. Yushi Zhang Ne and Ni Wenhuan, Li Lusheng in the incident, and Cao Qincheng, the chief of the Ministry of Works, competed to retaliate against the good people, while Yushi Liang Menghuan revived Wang Wenyan's case and sent him down to Zhenfusi and tortured him to death. Xu Xianchun compiled the prisoners' confessions, and the words were connected with Zhao Nanxing, Yang Lian, and more than 20 other people, so that they were either removed from their posts or dismissed. He also arrested Yang Lian, Zuo Guangdou, Wei Dazhong, Zhou Chaorui, Yuan Huazhong, Gu Dazhang, and six others, implicated them in Xiong Tingbi's case, threw them into prison, and tortured them to death. He also killed Xiong Tingbi, beat his relative Yushi Wu Yuzhong to death, and removed more than fifty people, including Shangshu Li Zongyan, Zhang Wenda, and Shilang Gongnai, and expelled them from their posts, leaving the korean and Chinese institutions empty. And specially summoned Qi Shijiao, Liu Shuzu and others as imperial history. Anyone who had a personal relationship with Wei Zhongxian had to be promoted beyond the ranks, so Wei Zhongxian's henchmen were all over the government and the public.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="14" > Wei Zhongxian to plague the world</h1>
At that time, the arrest personnel of the East Factory were running rampant, and every place they had visited, regardless of whether the situation was false or real, was completely reduced. His cousin Li Cheng'en, the son of Princess Dachang of Ning'an, had artifacts given to him by the princess in his home, and Wei Zhongxian falsely accused him of stealing forbidden objects such as public opinion costumes, and sentenced him to death. When Zhongshu Wu Huaixian read Yang Lian's recital, he high-fived and praised him, and the family slave denounced him, resulting in Huaixian being killed and his home being raided. Wu Ben Jiang Yingyang was wronged for Xiong Tingbi and was immediately condemned to death. Occasionally, folk speech offended Wei Zhongxian, and he was arrested and killed, even skinned and tongue-cutting, and countless people were killed. In this year, Ji Men Gong, Wei Zhongxian got the third class of Jia En, and Pi Yin was the governor of Tongzhi. He also made his uncle Wei Zhide the Governor of the Capital. Fu Yingxing was promoted to the post of Governor of Zuo and honored his mother, while Wei Liangqing was made the Jinyi Guard of the Imperial Household and in charge of the affairs of the Southern Town.
In February of the sixth year of the Apocalypse (1626), the emperor's honor guard was formed, and Wei Zhongxian was able to shelter the governor of the capital, and he also sent his henchman Li Yongzhen to impersonate li Shishang, the great thief of Zhejiang, to arrest and punish Zhou Qiyuan, the former inspector of Yingtian, and gao Panlong, Zhou Zongjian, Miao Changqi, Zhou Shunchang, Huang Zunsu, and Li Yingsheng, who had resigned and returned to their hometowns. Gao Panlong threw himself into the water and died, and Zhou Shunchang and others died in prison. When the people of Suzhou saw that Zhou Shunchang had been arrested, they were very upset, so they killed two lieutenants, and Inspector Mao Yilu arrested Yan Peiwei and five others and put them to death. Xu Zhaokui, the Shangshu of the Punishment Department, governed the prison case, and all those whom Wei Zhongxian hated were sentenced to heavy sentences. Wei Zhongxian also listened to Huo Weihua's advice and ordered Gu Bingqian and others to edit the "Three Dynasties Essential Code" and try their best to slander the Donglin Party. Yushi Xu Fuyang asked to demolish the Lecture Academy to eliminate the party roots. Yushi Lu Chengqin also asked for the erection of the Donglin Party Monument. People in the sea are holding their breath. Huo Weihua then taught Wei Zhongxian to take credit for his adventurous advances in border defense.
Wu Changchun, a man from Liaoyang, visited a prostitute's house, said some nonsense, and was captured by the East Factory. Xu Xianchun tortured him and punished him, deliberately exaggerating his words, saying: "Changchun is an enemy spy, if it is not captured, there will be chaos, and Lai Dongchang's subordinates are loyal and resourceful, and they have made great achievements." "Zhu Yu made Wei Zhongxian's nephew Liangqing a Su Ningbo, gave him the mansion and ZhuangTian, and awarded him iron coupons. The official Shangshu Wang Shaohui asked for the honor of his ancestors, and Zhu Yu ordered Wei Zhongxian to be given the title of Suningbo. Wei Zhongxian also sent his henchmen eunuchs Liu Yingkun, Tao Wen, and Ji Yongzhen to guard Shanhaiguan and collect military power. Give him another credit, and the Governor of Piyin Will and the hereditary Jinyi Guard will command one person each. Inspector Pan Ruzhen of Zhejiang asked wei Zhongxian to build an ancestral hall. Xue Zhen, the governor of Cangchang, said that the grassland was on fire, and Lai Wei Zhongxian rescued it and was harmless. As a result, the people who sang praises and praises for him continued one after another, and ancestral halls everywhere began to be built from then on.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="18" > Wei Zhongxian to fight dissidents</h1>
Wu Kongjia had a vendetta against wu Yangchun, a fellow patriarch, and induced Wu Yangchun's slaves to accuse their master of hiding in Huangshan, and Both Wu Yangchun's father and son died in prison. Wei Zhongxian sent lü xiaqing and commentator Xu Zhiji to raid his home in Huizhou one after another, which was very cruel. The prefect Shi Wancheng could not bear it in his heart, cut his hair and hung up his post, and Huizhou almost caused chaos. His henchman Zhang Tiqian falsely accused Liu Duo, the governor of Yangzhou, of plotting chen to solve the prison case on behalf of Li Cheng'en, and colluded with the magician Fang Jingyang to curse Wei Zhongxian, and as a result Liu Duo was beheaded. He also falsely accused Wang Guoxing, the son of Marquis Xincheng, of Jinyiwei official Wang Guoxing, sentenced him to death, and deposed xu Shiqi. Yu shi menkexin falsely accused Gu Tongyin and Sun Wenxuan of Wu County for writing a tribute to Xiong Tingbi, and the two were convicted of beheading for the crime of demonization. He also arrested the servant Wang Zhizhi and killed him in prison. All those whom Wei Zhongxian had always hated, such as Han Huoguang, Zhang Wenda, He Shijin, Cheng Zhu, and others, although they had left their posts, they would also be removed from their official ranks, and those who were serious would be charged with the army, and those who died would be chased after the stolen goods and destroyed his family. Some of Wei Zhongxian had accidentally forgotten, and his henchmen must have pursued the past and aroused Wei Zhongxian's anger.
At that time, all the internal and external power was vested in Wei Zhongxian, and in addition to Wang Tiqian and others, there were more than thirty people such as Li Chaoqing, Wang Chaofu, Sun Jin, Wang Guotai, and Liang Dong, who supported them left and right. The foreign court ministers had Cui Chengxiu, Tian Ji, Wu Chunfu, Li Fulong, and Ni Wenhuan as the chief conspirators, known as the "Five Tigers"; the wuchen had Tian Ergeng, Xu Xianchun, Sun Yunhe, Yang Huan, and Cui Yingyuan killed, known as "Five Biao". There are also officials Such as Shangshu Zhou Yingqiu and Cao Qincheng, shaoqing of the Taibu Temple, known as the "Ten Dogs". There are also names such as "Ten Children" and "Forty Grandchildren". And cui chengxiu's gang of people is innumerable. From the cabinet and the six ministries to the governors and governors of the four sides, they were all over his henchmen. He hated Empress Zhang in his heart, and in the autumn of that year, he falsely accused Empress Zhang's father Zhang Guoji of violating the law, and then falsely transmitted the will of the Palace in an attempt to shake Empress Zhang, and Zhu Youxiao punished him for the crime of slavery and blamed Zhang Guoji. Wei Zhongxian was not satisfied, and sent Liu Zhixuan and Yushi Liang Menghuan of the Shun tianfu to expose Zhang Guoji's crimes in turn, and said that the empress was not Zhang Guoji's daughter. Just when Wang Tiqian was threatening to dissuade him, Wei Zhongxian was just that.
In the winter of the sixth year of the Apocalypse (1626), the Three Halls were completed. Li Yongzhen and Zhou Yingqiu played the merits of Wei Zhongxian, and Zhu Youxiao made Wei Zhongxian the Duke of Shanggong and Jia En. At that time, Wei Liangqing had already been promoted to the title of Marquis of Suning, and at this time he was also promoted to the Title of Duke of Suning, and Zhilu was issued according to the rules of the Duke of Wei, and then he was given the command of one person and one person who knew the same knowledge. Xue Fengxiang, the Shangshu of the Ministry of Works, gave Wei Zhongxian the title of Fudi. Soon the eunuch Tao Wen played the Construction of the Xifeng Pass, the Overseer Wang Zhichen played the construction of Shanhaiguan City, the Punishment Department Shangshu Xue Zhen played the Great Thief Wang Zhijin Prison Case, the Nanjing Construction of Xiaoling was completed, Gan Zhen played the Jie, and the FanYu Bureau's Cheng Zhang Yongzuo captured the thieves, all of whom said that it was out of Wei Zhongxian's planning and strategy. Wei Zhongxian himself played the credit for three years of arrest, and Zhu was praised by the school's subordinates. In the past six months, Wei Zhongxian's shadow consisted of four Jinyi guards commanding envoys, three Tongzhi, and one Youshi. He also conferred on his nephew Xi Meng's hereditary Jinyi Wei Tongzhi, his nephews Fu Zhiqun and Feng Jixian as the governor of the capital, and Cui Chengxiu's younger brother Cui Ningxiu as the deputy commander-in-chief of Jizhen. The name vessel was abused and abused, and it reached the extreme. His party members all sat in Ji and Liao, as well as in Xuanfu and Datong in Shanxi. Liang Zhuchao, Yang Guodong and others, the chief soldiers, offered him famous horses and treasured things every year, never stopping.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="22" > Wei Zhongxian offers flattery</h1>
In the spring of the seventh year of the Apocalypse (1627), he also sent Cui Wensheng the governor Cao Yun, Li Mingdao governor He He, and Hu Liangfu to guard Tianjin. Cui Wensheng had originally served Guangzong to take medicine, but was attacked by the Donglin Party. The sea was vying for flattery, and the overseers such as Yan Mingtai, Liu Zhao, Li Jingbai, and Yao Zongwen competed to praise Wei Zhongxian's deli temple, and they were afraid that they would not be able to do so. Down and Takefu, Shangjia Villain. The rogues also built shrines for him. These ancestral halls were built with great skill, and they encroached on the people's fields and houses, cut down the trees in the cemetery, and no one dared to accuse them. The overseer Lu Wanling even requested that Wei Zhongxian be sacrificed to Confucius, and Wei Zhongxian's father be sacrificed to Qi Sheng Gong.
At the beginning, Pan Ruzhen first wrote a letter, and Yushi Liu zhi was removed from his post a day late. However, Hu Shirong of Jizhou Dao was sentenced to death for not having a book on the construction of the ancestral temple, and Because Hezun Hua Dao Geng Ruqi did not worship when he entered the temple, he was sentenced to death. Therefore, the atmosphere of the world, no matter how big or small, praised Wei Zhongxian. Clans such as Zhu Hua the King of Chu and Zhu Shenjian of Zhongshu, meritorious relatives such as Li Yongzuo the Marquis of Fengcheng, courtiers such as Shangshu Shao Fuzhong, Li Yangde, and Cao Sicheng, the governor Zhang Ixu, Sun Guozhen and Zhang Yiming, Guo Yunhou, Yang Weihe, Li Shixin, Wang Ruoji, He Tingshu, Chen Weixin, Chen Eryi, Guo Ruyin, Guo Xiyu, Xu Rong, and others were all full of words and did not care about shame. Wei Zhongxian also often gave them kindness in return. All of them refer to Wei Zhongxian as a "factory minister" instead of his name. When the university scholars Huang Liji, Shi Fenglai, and Zhang Ruitu drafted the Holy Will, they would also say "Shu and The Factory Minister", and no one dared to write Wei Zhongxian's name directly. Shandong produced a qilin, and Inspector Li Jingbai painted an image and reported it to the imperial court. Huang Liji and others drafted the Holy Will and said, "The factory minister cultivates virtue, so the benevolent beast arrives." "This is the deception of falsehood. Zhu Yu gave him countless commendation orders before and after the school, and the commandments he issued were all imitated in the Nine Xi script.
From spring to autumn of that year, Wei Zhongxian pretended to lead Wang Ton to capture the merits of Aban Luo Tie, accumulating seventeen envoys under the command of the Yin Jinyi Guards. His clan grandsons Xikong, Xi Meng, Xi Yao, Xi Shun, and Peng Cheng, in-laws Dong Fangming, Wang Xuan, Yang Liuqi, yang Zuochang, and the governors of the left and right provinces and the governors Tongzhi and Youshi. Ke's younger brother Guangxian was also made the governor. Wei Fumin was also transferred from Jinyiwei to Shang Baoqing. However, Wei Zhongxian's wish had not yet been achieved, and just as Yuan Chonghuan was playing Ning Yuanjie, Wei Zhongxian ordered Zhou Yingqiu to play his grandson Wei Pengyi as An Pingbo. Remembering the three major project merits, he named his nephew Liangdong the Marquis of Dong'an, Liangqing as the Taishi, Pengyi as the Shaoshi, and Liangdong as the Prince Taibao. Therefore, he generally rewarded his subjects, and used Cui Chengxiu as the Shangshu of the Bingbu and the Imperial History of zuodu, but abandoned Yuan Chonghuan's merits. At that time, PengYi and Liangdong were still swaddled and could not walk. Liangqing even offered sacrifices to the southern and northern suburban communities on behalf of tianzi and sacrificed to the Taimiao Temple. Therefore, the whole world suspected that Wei Zhongxian was going to usurp power.
Zhu Yu is clever, active in axe sawing and painting and other things, and has been tireless for many years. Every time when cutting ink in the pulling line, Wei Zhongxian's generation often came to play things. Colonel Zhu Yu was very bored and said absurdly, "I already know that you are good to do it yourself." Wei Zhongxian therefore allowed himself to do whatever he wanted. He traveled many times a year, always sitting Wenxuan, feather curtains, four horses flying, the sound of drums and dysprosium, with the rumbling wheels, hidden in the flying loess. The Jinyi Guards School had a jade belt around its waist, stepped on its boots and boasted, carried a knife with it, and was sandwiched between the left and right, and the people who followed the retinue, such as cooks, youling, baiju, and slaves, were tens of thousands. The music of the hundred officials must be caught up with fast horses. Wherever he passed, the scholar and the doctor prostrated himself and shouted at the nine thousand years old, and some people simply called him "nine thousand nine hundred years old" and "held up the one who was obedient to the admonition but worshiped the dry father, performed five prayers and three prostrations, and called out to the nine thousand nine hundred years old grandfather." And Wei Zhongxian still looked left and right, ignoring it. The Ke clan lived in the palace, coerced the empress, and abused the palace concubines. Occasionally out of the palace and back to the private residence, the attendants are prominent, illuminating the road, looking like the emperor's honor guard. Wei Zhongxian was originally stupid and had no strengths, so his henchmen taught him day and night, and he had Keshi as the internal master, so the crowd of murderers raged and poisoned the sea.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="27" > Wei Zhongxian quan eunuch end road</h1>
In the autumn and August of the seventh year of the Apocalypse (1627), Zhu Youxiao died, and Zhu Youjian, the King of Letters, took the throne. Zhu Youjian had always been familiar with Wei Zhongxian's crimes, and he was deeply vigilant, and Wei Zhongxian's henchmen began to fear. Yang Suoxiu and Yang Weiyuan first attacked Cui Chengxiu to test Zhu You's intentions, and the principals Lu Chengyuan and Qian Yuanxuan, as well as Shi Gongsheng, the member of the outer lang, then discussed Wei Zhongxian. But Zhu Yu did not send it.
So Jiaxing Gongsheng Qian Jiazheng impeached Wei Zhongxian for ten major crimes: one was juxtaposed with the emperor, two were contemptuous of the empress, three were moved to manipulate military power, four were not two ancestral emperors, five grams were knighted by the king of the clan, six eyes were not saints, seven were indiscriminately rewarded, eight were covered up for side merit, nine were exploited by the people, and ten traffic joints were jointed. After the song was presented, Zhu Youjian summoned Wei Zhongxian and asked the internal officials to read it to him. Wei Zhongxian was very frightened and hurriedly bribed Xu Yingyuan, the eunuch of the Xindi, with a heavy treasure to beg him to rescue him. Xu Yingyuan was Wei Zhongxian's former gambler. Zhu Youjian knew about this and reprimanded Xu Yingyuan. In November, Wei Zhongxian was sent to Fengyang for resettlement, and Wei Zhongxian, on his way to Fengyang, still raised a group of outlaws, and Zhu You, furious when he heard about it, ordered Jinyi wei to go and arrest him and send him back to Beijing for trial. When Li Yongzhen heard the news, he quickly sent someone to secretly report to Wei Zhongxian. Wei Zhongxian knew that he would not be able to escape death, and when he arrived in Fucheng, he heard the latter order, so he and his accomplice Li Chaoqin drank bitterly at the Guanke Inn in Nanguan, Fucheng, and finally hanged themselves together. Zhu Youjian ordered Wei Zhongxian to be dismembered and hung in Hejian Province. The Keshi Whip died in the Huan Clothing Bureau. Wei Liangqing, Hou Guoxing, ke guangxian, and others were all executed, and they were violently killed in the streets and raided their homes. When raiding Ke's home, there were eight palace girls, probably wanting to emulate Lü Buwei's behavior, so people especially hated her.
In February of the second year of Chongzhen (1629), Zhu Yu ordered Han Huoguang and others to approve the reverse case, which expelled All of Wei Zhongxian's henchmen and the Donglin Party members were able to enter and use them. Those associated with the reversal plot day and night to seek revenge. Subsequently, Wen Tiren and Xue Guoguan's generation came to power one after another, and they secretly excluded upright people to prepare for the reversal of the case. Zhu Youjian was also disgusted with the courtiers' alliance with the party for personal gain, so he appointed eunuchs, and Ruan Dacheng and others in the reverse case finally poisoned Jiang Zuo until their demise.
