Newspaper distribution is in full swing.The Donglin party and the clan also fought up and down, for a time many Donglin party and clan were inexplicably killed, the two sides vowed to fight to the death, Chongzhen Le sat on the mountain and watched the tiger fight.In fact, in addition to Chongzhen's dislike of the Donglin Party, he doesn't have a good impression of the clan, and the labels of the clan are, moths, stallions, white-eyed wolves, and pigs.The issue of clans in the Ming Dynasty was very complex.This system originated with Zhu Yuanzhang.As soon as this guy came to power, he set high standards for his descendants, and he also stipulated that the descendants of the royal family did not have to do any work, and the country was all covered from life to death.Every member of the royal family has had a fortune since he was ten years old, so for the clan, population is money!
In order to have more children and receive more money, since the middle and late Ming Dynasty, the royal family launched a fierce competition to have children.Especially the major feudal kings, who regarded pampering women as their life's work, gave birth to groups after groups.By the end of the Ming Dynasty, there were as many as 600,000, what is this concept?
It means that most of the country's wealth has to support these idlers.A large amount of land was occupied by the clan, and the clan was the largest landlord.How did the clan with such wealth repay the Ming Dynasty?
At the end of the Ming Dynasty, Chongzhen could not raise military funds, but these clans did not pull out a dime, complaining about poverty.As a result, when the country was broken, King Chuang scraped out countless gold, silver and jewels from the palaces of the major feudal kings, especially King Fu was the richest, so rich that King Chuang boiled him into a pot of rich soup.Now that Chongzhen has abolished the privileges of the clan, the burden of the imperial court has been reduced in an instant, and how many homeless people can live with the large amount of money and food saved!
On this day, Chongzhen was taking a nap.There were a few personal eunuchs next to him watching, and time passed minute by minute, and suddenly these personal eunuchs exchanged glances sneaky.Their faces suddenly became hideous, and what did they take out with a brush?
If you look closely, it's actually a rope sleeve.These eunuchs tied the rope sleeve into a slipknot, and then pounced on Chongzhen, and the slipknot put a set around Chongzhen's neck, and then pulled hard.Uh, Chongzhen woke up, Nima's gang of traitors really dared to kill the king, Chongzhen only felt that his eyes were full of stars, his blood was surging, and the surrounding voices were getting farther and farther away.Are you going to die?
Suddenly, a sharp weapon broke the knot, and it was the Black Guard.At the last moment, the black guard broke through the door, first broke the knot, and then subdued the eunuchs with three strikes and five divisions.Then a large number of guards poured in, surrounded Chongzhen, and looked at several eunuchs.Chongzhen was furious, these eunuchs were all personally selected by Wang Chengen to serve him, and they were all assassins?
Either Wang Chengen is a traitor.Either the enemy is too powerful and buys all his personal eunuchs."
Emperor!"
Wang Chengen stumbled in from the outside, "The old slave is guilty of capital crimes, the old slave did not choose a good person, and he actually put the emperor in such a dangerous place, and the old slave only asks for death to forgive his sins." ”Before he could finish speaking, he bumped into the dragon pillar, but was kicked out by the black guard and fell into a.Wang Chengen cried.Chongzhen waved his hand and asked people to help Wang Chengen up, to be honest, he didn't believe that this matter had anything to do with Wang Chengen.Wang Chengenzhong, there is no doubt about this.But his ability is really poor, it seems that he can't let him control the personnel power of the eunuch in the future, just serve him with peace of mind."
Bold rebels."
Wang Chengen pointed at the noses of these eunuchs and scolded, "The emperor treats you well, but you do such a rebellious thing, are you worthy of your conscience?"
”These eunuchs stiffened their necks and spat out in a righteous and awe-inspiring manner, "Dusk Jun, you have acted perversely, and you dare to abolish the laws of your ancestors, and everyone in the world can kill you." ”After saying that, a wisp of black blood flowed out of their mouths, and then their heads tilted, and they died neatly.It was actually the vassal king who did it?
Wang Chengen's teeth itched angrily, and he knelt in front of Chongzhen, "Emperor, you must punish these vassal kings heavily, cut off their vassals, and kill their heads." ”Chongzhen straightened his clothes and sighed."
Although I don't know who is in charge of this matter, it is definitely not the vassal kings, Wang Daban, you will summon Cao Huachun back!"
After saying this, Chongzhen waved his hand to let everyone retreat, and he pondered.Although the imperial court abolished the privileges of the clan this time, it did not reduce the vassal king's salary, but only asked the vassal king to hand over the land endowment.For the vassal kings who have accumulated countless wealth, it is just a drop in the bucket, and although Jiaotian Fu makes them feel pain, it is definitely not worth it for them to assassinate the emperor.You must know that the vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty have no military power, even if they assassinate the emperor, they are just making wedding dresses for others, and they are still guilty of killing the monarch in vain, and it will not be done by ordinary clansmen, they do not have so much energy.Looking at this style, Chongzhen knew that the Donglin Party people must be inseparable, and you must know that this group of garbage has a tradition of killing kings.It seems that the Donglin Party is ready to completely tear their faces, since this is the case, then destroy you!
Soon Cao Huachun led the Cao family army into the palace, and Chongzhen was ready to clean up the eunuchs and palace maids in the palace first.There were a lot of eunuchs in the palace of the Ming Dynasty, according to a eunuch who took refuge in the Qing Dynasty, there were 40,000 eunuchs in the Ming Palace, which made Emperor Kangxi sigh.After Chongzhen crossed over, he found that there were no 40,000, if there were really 40,000, it was estimated that the Forbidden City would be crowded, and he still had a place to stand?
However, although there are not 40,000, there are 10,000, and there are many eunuchs in the palace, not only do they have to pay a lot of money and food, but there are also many potential safety hazards.The necessary ones were cleaned up.This matter will be handed over to Cao Huachun, who is ruthless, bold and careful, and familiar with the palace.Soon Cao Huachun drew up a plan.Only 2,000 eunuchs and palace maids were left, and the rest were all repatriated out of the palace, and those with family members could return to their hometowns with a severance pay.If they do not have a family, the imperial court will allocate a piece of land in the western suburbs, so that they can farm by themselves, raise chickens, ducks, fish, pigs, etc., and be self-sufficient.After all, they are all from poor backgrounds, and they all dream of owning an acre of their own land, and the arrangement of the court is very generous.Anyway, they have no future if they stay in the palace, and they are bullied by the leaders every day, so it is better to leave the palace.There are only a small number of eunuchs crying and calling their mothers, these people have become small leaders, and there are a lot of fast and filial piety on weekdays, and they are majestic, now let them farm, how can they bear it?
These people instigated a lot of trouble, and thanks to Cao Huachun's thunderous methods, they quickly suppressed it.In the evening, Cao Huachun sorted out the list of personnel, and then walked out of the gate of the Forbidden City one by one according to the list.
