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

Right at this moment-

Zhu Yousong once again sent an important witness - eunuch Qiu Zhizhong!

Why is an unknown eunuch a key figure in breaking the situation?

Because - since the Tumubao Incident, the Ming Emperor had always been able to control the government only through eunuchs.

Therefore, the emperors of Ming Dynasty had an unwritten rule:

"Send eunuchs to accompany the princes from childhood as thugs when they come to power in the future."

Whether it is a feudal king or a crown prince, using eunuchs to hold power is a rule that applies to everyone.

It even got to the point where the emperor rewarded the vassal king with eunuchs and eunuchs, and the vassal king would celebrate with his crown!

These eunuchs are what the emperor calls "companions."

And Qiu Zhizhong is the prince's companion.

Qiu Zhizhong has always been with the prince since he was young, and he is also the prince's accompanying eunuch.

As a "child" and "classmate", how could the prince not know Qiu Zhizhong?

however……

This fake prince is a fake. How could he know Qiu Zhizhong?

Qiu Zhizhong's testimony brought an end to the great debate between the true and false princes.

The members of the Donglin Restoration Socialist Party, who just now were rolling around in the court, angrily cursing eunuchs, criticizing mulberry trees and pagoda trees, and scolding Zhu Yousong, all stopped!

The "Crown Prince" they worked hard for half a year was brought back to his original shape.

That is to say, Zhu Yousong is generous. Otherwise, if he changes to a more radical emperor, even if he doesn't wipe out all the Donglin Fushes, he will still rob the leader Qian Qianyi and others!

Zhu Yousong chuckled and ordered Wang Zhiming to continue to be raised in Xingshan Temple.

however……

Wang Zhiming, who had been publicly identified as a fake in the court, waited until the court broke up, but everyone in Donglin and Fushe swarmed towards Xingshan Temple.

Zhu Yousong, who has already experienced the "Monk Case" and the "Tong Concubine Case", doesn't understand - Donglin and Fushe are preparing to connect again!

So, he immediately ordered Wang Zhiming to be imprisoned.

Even at this time, Zhu Yousong did not have murderous intentions.

He can't kill!

——Because Wang Zhiming is still there and there is evidence to prove that this is a fake.

Once he kills Wang Zhiming, Donglin Fushe will definitely take the opportunity to criticize him!

In fact, Donglin and Fushe's urinary behavior will inevitably lead to a rebellion by the army.

No proof!

After Wang Zhiming's death, how can we prove that Wang Zhiming is a fake?

By then, there will inevitably be wars everywhere, and Nanming will no longer have a chance to defend itself against the Qing court.

The only thing Zhu Yousong can do is to put Wang Zhiming in prison.

At the same time, he prepared to imitate Emperor Mingwen.

Zhu Yousong has obviously obtained Wang Zhiming's confession.

The list of people in Donglin's restoration of the society who intends to subvert the country and elect rogues to replace the Zhu family can be obtained very quickly.

However, Zhu Yousong punished no one.

In this move, he learned from Zhu Di, the Eternal Mingjun!

After the Jingnan incident, Zhu Di entered Nanjing and collected more than 1000 secret letters from officials in the palace.

Zhu Di did not read any of them, and ordered Xie Jin and a group of former officials of Emperor Jianwen to sort them out, and stipulated:

“Every secret message about military (soldiers), people’s livelihood (food) and other matters was left behind as a reference.

Anyone who attacks me (Zhu Di) in letters will be burned. "

Then, he said to the courtier Jianwen who breathed a sigh of relief:

“This is what you need.” (Each of you has a share in the letter here.)

A man named Li Guan said to Zhu Di:

"I really don't have it!" (It definitely doesn't belong to me.)

If you were an ordinary person, you would definitely praise Li Guan at this time.

However, what did Zhu Di do?

Emperor Yongle angrily said:

"You think you are the only one who is worthy!"

If you eat your salary, you will want to do whatever you want. When the country is in crisis, is it okay for a close servant to say nothing?

I am not evil in that I devote myself to Jianwen, but I am evil in tempting Jianwen, destroying the laws of our ancestors, and disrupting the political system!

If you served others the day before yesterday, you would be loyal to them. If you serve me today, you would be loyal to me. There is no need to hide yourself. "

(Don’t think that because you didn’t write a letter to Emperor Jianwen, you are worthy of bragging.

With Emperor Jianwen's salary, one should help him think about and handle national affairs. At that time, Emperor Jianwen was in a critical situation, but you, as close servants, said nothing. Is this okay?

I will not regret your loyalty to Emperor Jianwen. I only resent those who induced Jianwen to break the laws of our Ming ancestors and disrupt our Ming society.

Before today, you were loyal to him. After today, you must be loyal to me. There is no need to hide it. )

This is the political method of the eternal Mingjun.

Zhu Yousong directly imitated Zhu Di. If they were Donglin, Fushe, or individuals, as long as they still had some conscience as a human being——

——Zhu Yousong’s approach is not unwise.

who knows……

Although most of the Jianwen courtiers Zhu Di faced came from wealthy families in the south of the Yangtze River, they still had some dignity after all.

As for the Donglin Fushe group in the late Ming Dynasty, they had no shame...

Not even a human being!

Although Zhu Yousong's starting point was good, it also provided an opportunity for Donglin and Fushe to destroy Nanming.

Even if Zhu Yousong does not kill Wang Zhiming, for the sake of the overall situation, he will not kill Donglin and Fushe who weaved this lie.

Donglin resumes society but will not accept Zhu Yousong's love!

They even resorted to desperate measures!

The news of Shi Kefa imprisoning the crown prince spread throughout the world with a loud shout from Donglin Fushe.

From the central government to the localities, the Donglin Restoration Party has all given up their plans - they will not give up until Zhu Yousong is removed from the throne!

There are even "righteous people" who formed an army and prepared to attack Nanjing, rescue the "Crown Prince" and ascend the throne as emperor!

At this time in history, the Hongguang Dynasty set off a drama of rebellion and the establishment of a false prince.

——Hou Xun, the boss of Donglin, took action. (That’s Hou Fangyu’s father)

He and Huang Shu directly persuaded Zuo Liangyu to rebel.

Zuo Liangyu claimed that he was "willing to go to the palace and suffer on behalf of the prince"!

——Using the excuse of "rescuing the prince and killing Shiying", he led an army of 30 people southward.

Not long after, Yuan Jixian, the governor of Jiangxi, Huguang, Anqing, Yingtian (Nanjing) and other military affairs, came to Zuo Liangyu's boat alone and persuaded Zuo Liangyu -

The foreign enemy is ahead, so we should put national justice first and not attack Nanjing. We should return west to recover Wuchang, which has been occupied by the intruders...

Yuan Jixian made an impassioned speech and showed his interests - Zuo Liangyu was convinced.

Zuo Liangyu stopped in Jiujiang...

As a result, Zuo Liangyu died that night.

Qing history said that because Zuo Liangyu's generals burned Jiujiang, Zuo Liangyu shouted "I'm sorry, Mr. Yuan", vomited three liters of blood, and died of a sudden illness.

[According to logic, Zuo Liangyu’s death must not be a normal death. 】

Afterwards, Huang Shu and Zuo Menggeng continued to march eastward without announcing their mourning.

Although Huang Degong defeated Zuo's army under Zuo Mengeng's control, it relieved some pressure on the Southern Ming court...
