Daming: I asked you to hang yourself, but I didn’t ask you to rebuild the Ming Dynasty

It turned out that this was Chongzhen's father-in-law, Tian Hongyu, the father of Concubine Tian. When Concubine Tian was seriously ill in the 15th year of Chongzhen, he was afraid that his daughter's death would affect his status, so he went to Jiangnan to buy it.

Not long after, Concubine Tian Guifei died of illness. Tian Hongyu taught her carefully and asked that the group be brought to perform in front of Chongzhen.

Tian Hongyu knew that Chongzhen was a man of routine and frugality. In the more than ten years since he ascended the throne, the number of operas in the palace had only been performed less than ten times.

Where has the emperor seen these kites and swallows?

Tian Hongyu thought that as long as Chongzhen took one look, he would definitely fall in love with these women...

No matter which woman Chongzhen fell in love with, he could make his family prosperous and wealthy.

……

At this time, shortly after the death of Concubine Tian Guifei, Chongzhen, who was in a bad mood, also wanted to make the harem popular, so he agreed to let the troupe sing two songs.

Tian Hongyu thought it was a courtesy, but he didn't know that Chongzhen really only asked the troupe to sing two songs, and then...

Tian Hongyu was asked to take the troupe back again.

Lying in a groove!

This can't be done!

Isn’t it true that our family’s prosperity and wealth cannot be counted on?

Tian Hongyu noticed something was wrong, and the Ming Dynasty army was retreating steadily. He wanted to hug the Wu family's thigh, so he changed hands and gave the troupe to Wu Sangui.

Although the current troupe is still there, it is missing two pillars.

When Tian Hongyu set up this theater troupe, he intended to seduce Chongzhen and let the top pillars of the troupe enter the palace as concubines, so he chose two stunning women - Gu Shou and Chen Yuanyuan.

At this time, several good-looking people such as Gu Shou and Chen Yuanyuan had been taken to Ningyuan, Liaodong by Wu Sangui, and Wu Xiang also picked out some beautiful women.

How could the remaining rouge fans in the band fall into the eyes of Li Zicheng, who was not a womanizer.

After listening to the program, Li Zicheng changed hands and gave the opera troupe to Liu Zongmin, the number two figure in the Chuang Army.

Unexpectedly, Liu Zongmin would be infamy for hundreds of years just because of a few defective goods picked out by others!

(Liu Zongmin: Mompi, I really didn’t sleep with Chen Yuanyuan. I’ve never even seen him! If I slept with them, would I leave them in the capital and let Wu Sangui pick them up again? What a shame, that’s his uncle. A bunch of literati and shit, they just made up nonsense...)

……

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

The unity that Zhu Youjian aroused with his military songs was defeated by life in just three days.

In order to survive, the people suppressed the grief of the country's subjugation in their hearts.

There is no poetry or distance in life.

In front of me, I only have three meals a day, only firewood, rice, soy sauce, vinegar, oil and salt vegetables...

The people no longer defend the city, the soldiers take off their clothes, and the petty officials follow the crowd...

Jingshi has opened her soft belly.

The invading army has entered the city.

Li Zicheng rode a tall horse and looked at the towering city wall in front of him, and couldn't help laughing.

At the city gate, three thousand officials from the capital knelt on the ground, and the darkness was so spectacular.

"Old Liu, send someone to ask Wang Changgong to come and see what kind of people these Ming court officials are!" Li Zicheng turned to Liu Zongmin and ordered.

Liu Zongmin smiled: "It's time for Mr. Wang to come and take a look!"

Wang Changgong refers to Wang Dehua.

He was the Duke of Dongchang in the Chongzhen Dynasty and held the dutiful position of Supervisor of Ceremonies Bingbi. People at that time ranked him alongside Wang Chengen and were known as the "Two Kings".

However, his factory boss was suppressed by civil servants, and even the Minister of Cabinet attacked him, saying why he was a dead eunuch who was in charge of the "supervision bureau", and why the status of Dongchang was so high...

Wang De failed to calm down and resigned to resist. Chongzhen was also angry. However, his move to abolish Dongchang and Jinyiwei in the early days of his accession to the throne was really a stupid move.

He had no choice but to ask Wang Dehua to take the courtiers to learn etiquette in the Ancestral Temple...

Let a dead eunuch with no balls teach the officials etiquette - this kind of humiliation is rarely seen in history books!

Chongzhen used this move to hint at the importance of Dongchang's status in his heart.

I hope Dongchang can cheer up and help him check and balance the courtiers...

However, in the late Ming Dynasty, it was not that Chongzhen was incompetent or that he had no loyal ministers, but that [-]% of the people in power in the world did not want the Ming Emperor to hold power anymore...

Anyone who has really studied the history of the Ming Dynasty knows that during the Chongzhen dynasty, there was never a single party that dominated the civil servants - to be able to divide the civil servants who were always used to staying together for warmth to such an extent, can it be said that Chongzhen was not strong?

Is it because Chongzhen lacked political ability that he was able to suppress the courtiers to this level?

He was a vassal who was raised like a pig and suddenly became the emperor. It was indeed not good at the beginning, but at the very least, after two years in power, his political level was really unspeakable.

Throughout Chinese history, Chongzhen's ability can be ranked at the upper-middle level.

However, once the emperor's close officials are involved, no matter how dirty the courtiers are, whether they are civil servants or military generals, whether they are relatives of the country or nobles, they will always join forces to resist...

No one can deal with Wang Dehua, the factory owner.

Even if Chongzhen asked Wang Dehua to teach etiquette to all officials, he had humiliated the civil servants to this level, and he still couldn't be dealt with by anyone!

Wang Dehua reigned for 16 years, and he could only use the courtiers to kill Zhu Cihuan, the fifth son of Chongzhen. It took more than ten years to kill Xue Guoguan.

Looking at the entire Ming Dynasty, this was the most aggrieved factory official.

……

When the situation was critical, Chongzhen asked Wang Dehua to lead his army to resist Li Zicheng, but he was defeated and captured.

When Zhu Youjian fled Beijing in a hot-air balloon, Wang Dehua was still in prison and Li Zicheng had nothing to do, so he teased him that the emperor was dead.

Wang Dehua cried loudly and banged his head against the wooden guardrail again and again in an attempt to commit suicide, but was stopped by Li Zicheng.

He lost his appetite and died, but was persuaded by Li Zicheng's words.

Li Zicheng asked him: Don't you want to see what kind of courtiers the Ming court is like? Don't you want to deal with them?

Wang Dehua then surrendered to Li Zicheng.

He wants to live and see with his own eyes how shameless these people are!

He wanted to see the final fate of this group of people who had a bad death!

……

When the officials in the capital saw Li Zicheng standing still, they all knelt on the ground and did not dare to get up. They kneeled forward.

This group of shameless people just knelt down to welcome Li Zicheng, but everyone found prison uniforms from nowhere and put them on over their official uniforms!

Looking at the narrow prison uniforms, they are put on the wide official uniforms, just like an idiom resurrected——

Wash the monkey and crown!

……

Wei Zaode was at the front of the crowd. He moved forward on his knees and walked to Li Zicheng on his knees.

He stuck his buttocks out and led the courtiers to bow and kowtow respectfully. Finally, he led three thousand officials from the capital and said in unison:

"A country cannot live without a king for a day. I respectfully welcome the Holy Emperor and ask the Holy Emperor to move to the palace and ascend the throne as emperor, so that all people in the world will admire him..."
