Chapter 182 Defects
"As I said just now, Chongzhen has already made it clear in front of the ministers in order to move the capital south. Even if this is wrong, at least a few sycophants must stand up and respond to Chongzhen, right?"

"But this time, Chongzhen has already made his words clear, and he has already put aside his own face, but who knows, the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, it is everyone who stood up and responded to Chongzhen's plan."

"That's why, Chongzhen became the emperor to this extent. This is unprecedented, and there will be no one to come after. It's a miracle."

"Then at that time, it was the time of Chongzhen, why did this happen? Why didn't the civil and military people of the Manchu Dynasty come out to respond to Chongzhen?"

"Hey, to clarify this matter, we can't understand it from the story, we have to start with Chongzhen."

"In history, none of the kings who subjugated the country had a good reputation. They were either stupid or tyrants. Only the Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youjian, he is an exception!"

"If we say that according to the Confucian standard of a sage king, Zhu Youjian is a [-]% good emperor."

"First of all, Zhu Youjian is very frugal, even more frugal than his ancestor Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houcong!"

"For example, for a dragon robe, Zhu Youjian was wearing it to mend it. After wearing it several times, he still wears it, just like a beggar emperor. How about it, is it thrifty enough?"

"Not only that, but his queen also wears common clothes all the year round. In the entire harem, there are not many gold and silver treasures."

"Secondly, Zhu Youjian is very hardworking. Later generations have given him the title of a model worker. This is enough to show that Zhu Youjian is very hardworking!"

"It is said that Zhu Youjian wakes up every day at dawn, and works at least ten hours a day. If this is left to the present, I am afraid that few people can support it?"

"Third, Zhu Youjian's life is very strict. He doesn't drink or pick up girls, doesn't play cards or gamble, and he doesn't want his brother Tianqi and the previous emperors to have so many hobbies."

"So, even if you judge him by today's standards, in life, Zhu Youjian is also a role model. This statement is true!"

"So in terms of government affairs, Zhu Youjian inherited the throne from his carpenter brother when he was 17 years old. As soon as he came to power, he killed the eunuch Wei Zhongxian who had brought disaster to the country and the people!"

"After Chongzhen killed Wei Zhongxian, he also redressed the rebellion of the Donglin Party. He did a lot of good things."

"Then how did Zhu Youjian, such a good emperor, get so mixed up that no one in the Manchu court listened to him?"

"Hey, some historians once suggested that the tragedy of the collapse of the Ming Dynasty was actually the tragedy of Chongzhen's own character!"

"It was precisely because of several major flaws in Chongzhen's character that the relationship between him and the monarch was extremely tense, and even led to the final collapse of the Ming Dynasty."

"Then what are the huge character flaws of Zhu Youjian? First, Zhu Youjian is not only very strict with himself, but also stricter with the people under his opponent!"

"And once this kind of strictness is overdone, it becomes ruthless."

"Here is an example. During Chongzhen's reign, what did those ministers and generals who died in battle get from Zhu Youjian?"

"Hey, it's true, Chongzhen, for those who died in battle, what they get is not rewards and pensions, but four words!"

"Where are the four words? Ineffective in combat! Tell me, everyone lost their lives because of your Zhu family dynasty. It's fine if you didn't get anything useful, but you still have to bear the evaluation of ineffective in combat."

"Secondly, Zhu Youjian is a slippery shoulder. He is unwilling to take any responsibility. Although Zhu Youjian likes to do things, but if he does too many things, it is inevitable that mistakes will happen, right?"

"It's nothing at all, but the problem is that if something goes wrong, all the responsibilities will be pushed to the shoulders of his subordinates."

"The most typical example is the case of Zhu Youjian killing Chen Xinjia."

"Now let's talk about this matter. At that time, the imperial court not only wanted to fight against Huang Taiji in the northeast, but also fought against Li Zicheng in the northwest."

"The attack from both sides made the imperial court very embarrassed, so Chen Xinjia, then Minister of the Ministry of War, gave Zhu Youjian an idea."

"Then what idea did Chen Xinjia give Chongzhen? At that time, Chen Xinjia said, why don't we give Huang Taiji some benefits first, and stop fighting them."

"Then we concentrated our forces and killed Li Zicheng first. When Chongzhen heard this idea, everyone appreciated it and immediately said, OK, OK!"

"So I arranged for Chen Xinjia to negotiate with Huang Taiji as soon as possible, and later Chen Xinjia really did it."

"But it's a pity that this matter was accidentally leaked out. As a result, many ministers went to court to impeach Chen Xinjia, saying that he had defected to the enemy and treasoned the country!"

"Originally, Chen Xinjia just gave Chongzhen an idea. If he really decided to do it, it was Chongzhen's idea. Chen Xinjia is just a man of affairs."

"So you, the emperor, have to explain the situation clearly to everyone, right? Otherwise, they will always spray me, right?"

"But Chongzhen, when he saw that the situation was not right, he thought that if this fire burned me, he actually found an excuse to kill Chen Xinjia!"

"There are several scapegoats like Chen Xinjia who are trying to cover up Chongzhen's character flaws!"

"It is said that Chongzhen has been in power for 17 years. It can be said that countless officials have been dismissed and killed. He ordered the killing of more than 20 ministers who were above the second rank."

"Also, it is said that during Chongzhen's reign, he was a cabinet scholar. In 17 years, he changed more than 50 people. He would kill and withdraw at every turn."

"So at the moment when Chongzhen's life was at stake, there was actually no one around him, no one was available, and no one was willing to be used by him."

"As the saying goes, the rabbit dies and the fox is sad. After seeing the fate of these people, the remaining subordinates who have not been dismissed or beheaded, who do you think can not be disappointed?"

"These ministers are chilling, who would be willing to sacrifice their lives for Chongzhen? So this has led to two results, which two results?"

"The first one is to neither speak nor express your opinion. You Chongzhen can do what you say, but some people dare to speak, and they fight against Chongzhen, so everyone is out of harmony."

"These two kinds of results are actually not good for Chongzhen. He is unwilling to take responsibility, and the cabinet is also unwilling to take responsibility. Everyone is afraid that if you give your life to Chongzhen now, and Chongzhen will turn his face in the future, then ministers, aren't they dead ends? "
