In 1620 AD, with the support of the Donglin Party, the Emperor of Tianqi succeeded to the throne, and Wei Zhongxian at that time was simply a stunned Qing, and he actually fought against the emperor.
It was delayed by the order, but it was under such a passive circumstance that Wei Zhongxian actually took only half a month to start rebelling against the guests and killing the Donglin Party members. How did he finally win? What did his approach reveal?
It is said that only half a month after emperor Tianqi succeeded to the throne, he issued an edict saying that Wei Zhongxian had meritorious service as a bodyguard, because he had named his brother Jinyi Wei Qianhu. It wasn't against the emperor at the beginning, how it had only been half a month. For the sake of merit, it turned out that this boy found a girlfriend, and this girlfriend is not someone else, it is the nurse of Tianji Brother, and Tianji Brother was brought up by him. You think there's such a layer of relationship in it. What else can I do in the weather?
With the emperor's wet nurse, Wei Zhongxian could go sideways after that. He's going to start taking revenge now, and who is he going to take revenge on? He was the first to target Yang Lian, a member of the Donglin Party. I have to say that Wei Zhongxian's luck is very good. At this time, Yang Lian was struggling with another person. Yushi Jia Jichun's sympathy was overflowing, and he heard a rumor that Ah was the emperor's adoptive mother. Yes, it is not the wet nurse who was forced to hang herself by Yang Lianna. Whether the emperor's adoptive mother hanged herself or not, the emperor was sure that the door was clear, there was nothing at all.
Therefore, it was purely a rumor to say that it was a rumor, and as a result, Jia Jichun was actually on the bar. Shang shu then said that Yang Lian colluded with the eunuchs in an attempt to squeeze out the then cabinet capital. I want to be the capital myself. In fact, the struggle between the Donglin Party and the Zhejiang Party had little to do with Wei Zhongxian. As a result, at this time, Yang Lian showed the pedantry of the Donglin Party. Let Wei Zhongxian take advantage of the loophole. You say I have a problem, well, I resign, and you don't say I want to be the head of the cabinet.
After hearing that Yang Lin was going to resign, Wei Zhongxian was not to mention how happy he was. He hurried to his girlfriend to discuss countermeasures. What countermeasures to discuss? It turned out that Yang Lian only proposed to resign, and he still needed to wait for the approval of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, and according to the etiquette of the readers. Resignation is just a look, the emperor's next edict to keep it, the matter will pass, even if Wei Zhongxian is illiterate, he does not eat this set at all, he immediately let his girlfriend prepare a family banquet, and then invited the Emperor of the Apocalypse to come and enjoy it. In the meantime, Wei Zhongxian's girlfriend blew wildly at Brother Tianqi again, and as a result, Brother Tianqi really allowed Yang Lian to resign. You see that's it. Someone in the key position was like this, Wei Zhongxian effortlessly and easily overthrew a big member of the Donglin Party, and the Donglin Party lost this big member.
The other members were even more pedantic, and none of them went to the table to defend themselves in order to avoid suspicion. In the more than a year since Yang Yi left office, Wei Zhongxian killed his immediate superior and initially controlled the situation in the inner court. At this time, the Donglin Party still did not pay attention to Wei Zhongxian. Instead, he fought with this party to the death. Rebbe Shangshu Sun Shenxing took the lead in attacking, and he wrote a song to discuss the three cases. The so-called three cases. It is the general term for the Red Pill case and the palace transfer case. He blamed these cases on fang Congzhe, a representative of the party, who asked him to take overall responsibility.
The most speechless thing is that at this time, Fang Congzhe has automatically retreated for a long time because of the pressure of public opinion, but Sun Shenxing still holds on to others. What kind of experience is this? Probably you made a small mistake, and as a result, your daughter-in-law kept pestering you and then said why don't you repent. meanwhile. Zhao Nanxing, another representative of the Donglin Party, also wrote a treatise on the Four Evils, accusing his teachers Zhao Xingbang, Guan Yingzhen, and others of having been in the past. Notice that in the past, there were parties and chaotic governments. It is true that these people had been said well by Zheng Guifei, that is, the woman who forced the Wanli Emperor to make herself empress, but that was all a matter of the Wanli Dynasty, and more than ten years had passed.
The eldest brother does not have to pursue the results at home, the Donglin Party members are like this, and anyone who rebels against them will scold others as evil parties and want to fight with others to break the net. When the water was clear, there was no fish, and over time, the Donglin Party pushed many opinioners to the side of Wei Zhongxian, and Wei Zhongxian did not refuse. Cui Chengxiu, the head of the Five Tigers, is one of the representatives. In the fourth year of the Apocalypse, Cui Chengxiu was impeached, and the official Shangshu suggested that he be sent to the army. The Emperor of the Apocalypse also agreed to dismiss him from his post and await censorship. Cui Chengxiu was frightened and ran to Wei Zhongxian all night. Request asylum. At this time, Wei Zhongxian was already quite influential, and some officials from the outer chamber had already turned to him, but there were no officials as big as Cui Chengxiu. So Wei Zhongxian was overjoyed and immediately accepted this meaning. After that, Wei Zhongxian was really very good to this idea.
Later, Cui Chengxiu's two official positions, one was Bingbu Shangshu and the other was Zuo Du Yushi, both of whom were wei Zhongxian's and tried their best to recommend them. When the Donglin Party was still scattered and constantly attrition, The strength of Wei Zhongxian's castrated party was getting stronger and stronger, and the most important thing was that they still had an organization and a plan. In order to win the emperor's trust, they formed a small group similar to the cabinet, they got up early every morning to go to work, and by the time the emperor of the apocalypse got up to work, they had already processed the documents of the day. Apocalypse. Basically, you don't have to worry about it, and you can handle the day's tasks. Over time, the Emperor of the Heavenly Revelation trusted Wei Zhongxian more and more, and his castration party members became more and more numerous. According to Mr. Miaodi's statistics, more than 200 people were later determined to be counter-offenders. The most incredible thing about this is that one hundred and fifty-nine people were born as soldiers, accounting for eighty-two percent of the total. At this point, the Donglin Party still hasn't learned its lesson. In the end, he actually sent a cabinet elder to Wei Zhongxian.
Wei Guangwei was a member of the cabinet. At the beginning, he was still a strange strong faction, not only wanted to have a little relationship with the Donglin Party, but also wanted to secretly defect to Wei Zhongxian. His father, Wei Yunzhen, was close friends with Zhao Nanxing, an important figure in the Donglin Party, and after he entered the cabinet, he visited Zhao Nanxing three times, and as a result, Zhao Nanxing disappeared. On the contrary, it also said that there were no children. Sound is another name for Wei Guangwei's father, Wei Yunzhen, what does it mean? That is to say, Wei Yunzhen has no sons, you see how strong this is.
In conclusion, since then, Wei Guangwei has followed Wei Zhongxian with an iron heart, and there are such a large number of highly educated civilian officials, and even two old cabinet members. Wei Zhongxian was notified by the inner court and the outer court. He alone controls the votes and your approval of the red, and he also really controls the political arena of Daming. Therefore, looking at the dispute between the Donglin Party and the Yan Party, the reason why the Donglin Party members failed miserably. Although there are reasons why Wei Zhongxian is clever and unscrupulous, and there are also reasons why the Donglin Party members disdain to collude with the despicable, but their paranoia is even pedantic. It really made them suffer a big loss. No matter how the times change, the spirit of the Donglin Party is always worthy of praise.
