The eunuch Wei Zhongxian and the emperor's grandmother, Keshi, rebelled against the palace and subverted the Ming Dynasty

author:The Jia family giggled

I believe that everyone is familiar with the name of Wei Zhongxian, a more famous eunuch and traitor in history, which has caused chaos in the dynasty.

Wei Zhongxian, from a poor family, is a small in the city, addicted to gambling, and when he rises, even his wife and children can be used as a bet. Once, Wei Zhongxian became addicted to gambling and took the few silver coins in his hand and lost them. Helplessly, the family that was not rich was even more poor, and later became a eunuch through the introduction of acquaintances and wielded a sword from the palace.

The Qiě clan, formerly known as Ke Yinyue, was the nursing mother of Emperor Sun Zhu Youxiao, and Wei Zhongxian soon became a "food pair" companion with him when he entered the palace. Later, Zhu Youxiao ascended the throne, and in order to thank the Ke clan for ordering her to be named "Lady Fengsheng" to reward her with thousands of acres of good land, countless gold and silver jewels, and even ordered Wei Zhongxian and Ke's marriage, the two became a righteous couple.

After Zhu Youxiao ascended the throne, he trusted Keshi very much, and Wei Zhongxian also trusted the two because he understood flattery and because of Keshi's reasons. Later, the ambitions of the two became more and more ambitious, and they secretly cultivated no small force. In order not to let his rights be threatened, he even plotted to kill the imperial heir. After learning that Empress Zhang Yan was pregnant, she secretly designed to make the queen slip the fetus, which made her lifeless. Not only that, but any concubine in the harem who was pregnant would eventually die twice.

However, in the court, because Zhu Youxiao ignored the government, the power of the DPRK was in the hands of Wei Zhongxian, and whenever there was a minister in the DPRK who opposed himself, or executed or exiled, the DPRK and the CENTRAL government were in a miasma for a while. Most of the loyal generals were executed by Wei Zhongxian and the Ke clan for various reasons, and the people were even more miserable and miserable. In order to curry favor with Wei Zhongxian, the traitors also called him nine thousand years old, and at this point everyone only knew that there was Wei Zhongxian, not the emperor.

Later, Zhu Youxiao was seriously ill and dying, and the two also sent soldiers to surround the emperor's residence and prevent anyone from visiting. After Zhu Youxiao's death, in order to protect the power in his hands, he did not mourn. Thanks to the support of the empress and King Xin and some loyal courtiers in the court, Zhu Yu was able to rest in peace. Later, with the support of courtiers, the Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youjian succeeded to the throne, so he began to vigorously rectify the court. It took several years to collect evidence of Wei Zhongxian's crimes, and during a court of ascension, Chongzhen began to make public several of Wei Zhongxian's charges, and Chongzhen ordered That Wei Zhongxian be taken back to Beijing.

On December 11, the seventh year of the Apocalypse, 9,000 years old, who had once been in power, hanged himself in a caravanserai. After Wei Zhongxian's death, Chongzhen ordered keshi to be demoted to a laundry room, because during the many years of Keshi's reign, all the palace eunuchs who encountered mistakes were cruelly injured. As a result, the harem people were rife, and now Keshi was in distress, and was beaten to death in the laundry room by a resentful palace eunuch, and the body was burned to ashes. Keshi was the only one in the harem, and he was full of crimes, and now he deserved to end up like this.
