I hand over the Wanjie trading system to the country

"This is the beginning of the eunuch's monopoly in the Ming Dynasty, and in some respects, it is also the fuse of the Ming Dynasty's demise."

Sure enough, as soon as Teacher Zhang finished speaking, four knife-like gazes shot straight at Zhu Qizhen.

"My Ming Dynasty was destroyed because of the eunuch's dictatorship?!" Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were tearing, "How many times in the previous dynasty destroyed the country because of the eunuch's dictatorship, have you forgotten?!"

"Qin Shihuang was such a man of culture and military strategy. He swept the world and established the Qin Dynasty. As a result, the Qin Dynasty died for three generations. Isn't it because of the eunuch's monopoly?"

"Of course, it's also because Qin Ershi Hu Hai wasn't a thing in the first place!"

"Let's not talk about the Eastern Han Dynasty. Their problem is not just because of the monopoly of eunuchs. They also have problems with their relatives."

"The Tang and Song dynasties are not too far away from us, right? Don't you remember their lessons?"

"The emperors in the middle and late Tang Dynasty, counting from Tang Suzong, a total of 14 emperors, 9 were supported by eunuchs."

"In the Song Dynasty, the eunuch's monopoly directly led to peasant uprisings."

"Don't you know all this? In order to prevent eunuchs from monopolizing power, I made so many restrictions on eunuchs in the early days of my ascension!"

"Even if you have forgotten the lessons of those previous dynasties, don't you remember the ancestors' instructions?" Zhu Yuanzhang was so angry that he wished to strangle Zhu Qizhen to death now.

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang was so angry that his mind was a little confused, and he didn't notice that Qin Shihuang and Li Shimin were staring at him with unlucky faces.

Educate children by educating children, what example do you take them for?Can't you just do it directly?

[The status of eunuchs in the Ming Dynasty gradually improved, and it was Zhu Di who started it. 】

[However, compared with the previous dynasties, the eunuch's dictatorship in the Ming Dynasty is actually not as serious as that in the Tang Dynasty. 】

[Although the eunuchs in the Ming Dynasty were more famous for their power, it was actually not the same as the Tang Dynasty. 】

[The eunuchs in the Tang Dynasty can decide who will be the emperor, but the eunuchs in the Ming Dynasty do not have so much power. 】

[If the eunuchs in the Ming Dynasty want to monopolize power, they must learn to please the emperor and gain the trust of the emperor. This is the essential difference compared with the Tang Dynasty. 】

[You can know from the incidents of the eunuch's monopoly in the Ming Dynasty that the eunuchs in the Ming Dynasty can basically only take advantage of the emperor's incompetence or youth. 】

[The eunuch's power is just an extension of the imperial power, it is not an independent power, once the emperor does not support them, their power will be gone. 】

After Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Di, and Zhu Zhanji had finished scolding Zhu Qizhen in turn, Teacher Zhang continued to narrate.

"Under the favor of Zhu Qizhen, Wang Zhen made waves, and the politics of the Ming Dynasty began to go downhill."

"In 1449, Wala invaded the border of the Ming Dynasty. Zhu Qizhen led an army of 20 under the instigation of the eunuch Wang Zhen."

"The main force of the Ming army suffered a disastrous defeat in Tumu Fort. Wang Zhen was killed and Zhu Qizhen was captured. This is known as {Civil Fort Change} in history."

"{The Change of Tumubao} was an important turning point when the Ming Dynasty began to decline."

"In September of the same year, Empress Dowager Sun joined forces with Yu Qian, the Minister of the Ministry of War, to support Zhu Qiyu to succeed to the throne, and he was the emperor of the Ming Dynasty."

"No, no, sir! What you said here is wrong!" Qin Shihuang suddenly interrupted Mr. Zhang, "How can you just mention such an important matter?"

Seeing that Teacher Zhang wanted to say something else, Li Shimin quickly asked his internal officer to pour a glass of water for Teacher Zhang.

"Sir, you must explain such an important matter to them clearly!"

"If they don't understand, how can they change the history of the gradual decline of the Ming Dynasty?"

Teacher Zhang was speechless for a while, don't you two come to retaliate now because Zhu Yuanzhang used you as an example just now?

"That's it! I'll tell you!" Qin Shihuang took over, "This gentleman's speech is not good!"

Before Zhu Yuanzhang and others could react, Qin Shihuang continued to tell.

"If you want to talk about Zhu Qizhen in your family, he is a famous figure in history!"

"Do you know what people in later generations call him?"

"The God of War of the Ming Dynasty! He is called the Son of Heaven! By the way, there are also students studying in Wala!"

Zhu Yuanzhang intuitively felt that these three words were not good words. He even wanted to shut Qin Shihuang's mouth directly, but he also wanted to hear what Zhu Qizhen had done.

"When later generations talk about the Ming Dynasty, they all say that it was a bloody era of {no marriage, no compensation, no land, no tribute, the emperor guards the gate, and the king dies}!"

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, a hint of pride appeared on his face, and his back straightened a little.

"Zhu Di moved the capital, which is what later generations call the emperor guarding the gate of the country."

"And Zhu Gaochi, Zhu Zhanji and his son perfectly interpreted the death of the king."

"But {no reconciliation, no compensation, no cession of land, no payment} Well, I can only say that at least you have done it in face!"

Zhu Yuanzhang:?

"Speaking of not paying compensation, Zhu Qiyu should be deeply touched?" Qin Shihuang looked at Zhu Qiyu, and Zhu Qiyu's face was unnatural.

"By the way, after Zhu Qizhen came to power, there was a Wala man named Yexian who often cheated the Ming Dynasty of various rewards in the name of paying tribute."

"Because the Ming Dynasty claimed to be the kingdom of heaven, no matter what the tribute was, the envoys who paid tribute would always be reciprocated. The rewards were quite generous, and they were distributed according to the head."

"In this case, the number of envoys continued to increase first, and finally reached more than [-]."

"Wang Zhen, the eunuch in charge of the government, was quite dissatisfied with this and ordered to reduce the reward."

"I also used this as a pretext to move southward, approaching Datong, and threatening Beijing."

"At that time, Zhu Qizhen was in his twenties, and his grandmother and a group of veterans had passed away. He felt that it was a good time for him to show his strength. He was quite annoyed to see the northern Tartars being so presumptuous."

"Wang Zhen used this to encourage Zhu Qizhen and suggested that he go to the imperial conquest."

"The ministers of the DPRK dissuaded him, but Zhu Qizhen refused to listen."

"Firstly, it is to imitate his father's imperial conquest, and secondly, to prove himself, Zhu Qizhen feels that the Ming Dynasty is in its heyday and is only a barbarian. Is he afraid that he will fail?"

Zhu Zhanji looked at Zhu Qizhen and was so angry that his heart ached. Is Yujia's personal expedition so studious?

"Therefore, Zhu Qizhen set off with a patchwork of 20 troops full of confidence."

"It's a pity that the weather is not beautiful. It has been raining for days, and the food and grass are not available. Therefore, Zhu Qizhen intends to withdraw his troops."

"In order to take Zhu Qizhen's face into consideration, Wang Zhen said that it was too embarrassing to return to the teacher after not going out for a long time, so he suggested a detour to Weizhou."

"Guess why Wang Zhen made such a proposal?"

"Actually, it's because Wang Zhen's hometown is in Weizhou. If the emperor returns to his hometown with him, wouldn't it be more elated than returning to his hometown?"
